most economical basis that il con.

enterprising citizanry of our
rapidly growing municipality.
The large majority of us neither
want nor expect anything from the
government Of city or state or

selves and our families in our lives
and Liberties and the pursuit of
happiness.
With this end in view we all
want to aid in the election of a

Last year the Methodist Episcopal

suggested by the name.
Just now the Epworth League is plan
nIng to hold great thanksgiving service

general officers have appealed TO every
member for special offering of 50 cents
each above every other contribution, and
this is all to be given to the mission treas
ury of the church. just now with deficit
on account of the hard times.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS CHAIR.
Sudden End of Engineer Blair ut the
Water Works.

Tudor 6. Blair, assistant engineer at the
Lake Washington pumping station, was
found dead at his post of duty yesterday
morning about 4;3o o'clock, death having
been caused by heart disease.
Blair went to work Friday night about
IL O'Clock. and at that time complained of
being unwell. He said that if he did not
feel better before morning he would have
TO cali for the engineer TO relieve him. In
the early hours he made some coffee and
invited the men from the adjoining room
to come in and drink with him.
The coffee had a stimulating effect and
Blair said he felt much better. The men
went back to their room ana paid no more
attention to him until $50 o'clock, when
Fireman James MeCay sent one Jack
Slattery. coal passer. to shut of the
electric light.
In passing through the engineers room
Slattery noticed that Blair was sitting in
a chair tipped back against the wall. his
feet resting on another chair directly in
front. He spoke TO Blair, but received no
reply. Upon looking closely at him Stat
tery saw something was wrong aud gave a
veil which caused MeCay 10 hasten 10 the
room. A glance was sufficient TO tell
McCay that Blair was dead. Coroner
Horton was Immediately called and on
learning the circumstances surrounding
the ease decided that death was due TO
heart failure. The remains were removed
to Bonnsy y Stewards chapel.
Blair was only 80 years old. and was
well known in this city and among steam
boatmeu on the Sound. lie began work
Is IA oiler on the steamer Kingston four
years ago, and by hard work and strict at
,ertion TO duty worked himself up TO the
position Of second engineer. About a year
ago be left steam boating and wept to work
Ia the Broadway pumping station, from
which place he was transferred 20 the Lake
Washington station two months ago. As
sistant City Engineer Scott is q brother-in-
law Of the dead man. He leaves a wife.
who lives in the Sunset row, on Yesler
avenue. near MeClalre street He also
has brother at Vancouver and relatives
at orcas. in this state.
