The many friends of W. II. Chapman
were shocked and panied, on Saturday
evening, to learn by telegraph Of his
death at Seattle on that day. Mr.. Chap
man left Yakima in condition OF health
that caused much anxiety, but all hoped
for the best and when the sad news was
received there was general sorrow, for
Mr.. Chapman had been one of the fore
most citizens in every sense. Liberal,
public spirited and a staunch friend, he
built up following Of admirers and sup
porters that few possess. He was the son
of DR.. William Chapman, formerly Of
Klickilat county, now Of Seattle, and was
one Of the most early and progressive bus
iness men OF North Yakima. In 1886 he
was a member Of the city council and
again in 1892, and during his incumbency
of the Office he was one of the most
active and efficient members, constantly
lsboring for the good OF his constituents
and the city. He was a working mem
Der of the fire department, and for two
terms was master Of Yakima lodge No.
"a, +. & A. NJ, being chosen to that high
honor when he had been connected with
the order but q few months. In the
National Guards he was elected lieuten-
ant, and subsequently commissioned on
the staff of General Curry with the rank
OF captain. 10 1890 he was married to
Miss Antoinette Schanno, daughter Of the
owner OF the townsite OF Yakima City,
and the alliance was most happy, he
finding true and sympathetic helpmate
in every sense OF the word. Through an
unfortunate miscarriage Of the mails Mrs.
Chapman was unable to be with her hus-
band at his death, arriving in Seattle
shortly after the spirit had fed and in this
her great grief Is deepened. The deceas-
ed was 40 years Of age and his life
throughout was one of honor and integ-
rity. In common with many others he
net with business reverses in the later
years, but he never swerved from his
course Of probity and had not sickness
oyertaken him his commercial credit
would have been maintained at its old
time standard.
The funeral cortege in Seattle was con-
Quoted by the Masons and militia, and
upon arrival here the body was taken in
charge by the Masons, as was the ex-
pressed desire OF the deceased. The fun
eral, held on Monday, was the largest in
the history of Yakima. The Masons
were out in strength as were Company +
and Troop G of the National Guards, and
the attendance of citizens was general.
The services at the house were conducted
by Rev. s. H. Cheadle, and the floral
offerings were OF the most beautiful char
acter. At the grave the appealing Ma
sonic service was read by Acting Master
H. G. Humphrey, and then the troopers
fired the parting salute to one whose I'M
timely death we all mourn. Mr.. Chap
man carried insurance policies on his life
to the amount of about 5000.

Messrs. Mckinney, Fechter and Horsley
as a committee to furnish Mr.. Olney and
his associates with the data required.
Mr.. II. G. Humphrey rendered his res
ignation as member Of the Commercial
club and the governing board, and the
latter body accepted the same after pass
ing resolutions highly complimentary to
that gentleman and electing him an
honorary member of the club.
Col. W. +. Prosser brought up the sub
ject of the artesian we'll in the Horse
Heaven country, upon which Yakima's
county commissioners have already ex-
pended considerable money. Col. Pros
ser stated that Land Commissioner
Phipps, of the Northern Pacific railway.
had manifested desire to see that project
assisted toward success. Indeed, Mr..
Phipps had stated that he would defray
half the expense of sinking another test
we'll II the county commissioners would
bear the other half. The governing board
took the matter under Amusement, aud
it is probable some action will be taken
at the next meeting.
The proposition of two Port Townsend
newspaper men to bring daily paper to
this city came up, upon request OF Mr..
Potter, of the Port Townsend Herald.
Although but little assistance was asked,
the club decided not to give official sane
ton to the matter, as it was merely q
private enterprise and the club deals
only with public questions. 1t was stat
ed by various members of the governing
board that it would be better to assist the
home papers already established than to
crowd the field and render it difficult or
impossible for any of them to prosper.

Looking For a Foundry Location

Looking For a Foundry Location.
State Senator j. l.. Roberts, of Walla
Walla, was Yakima visitor on Saturday
last, and expressed himself as greatly sur
prised at the volume of business trans
acted in Yakima and the indications Of
thrift and development to be seen on all
sides. Mr.. Roberts is the proprietor Of
large foundry in Walla Walla and he is
looking about with view to putting in q
similar establishment in central Wash
ington. While he expressed no definite
conclusion he was evidently much i'm
pressed with the present of Yakima and
the outlook for its future.
This is an opening for the Commercial
club to put in efficient work. Mr..
Roberts is a shrewd, clear-headed BUSH
ness man and has made success OF his
undertaking in Walla Walla. This city
has had foundry "nibbles" before but
from adventures and men without the
capital to carry their undertakings to sue
cess and subsidy seemed to be the chief
consideration. With Mr.. Roberts it is
an entirely different proposition. He
will not for minute consider the sub
ject of moving to Yakima unless there is
business merit in it and in the way Of
of subsidy he would ask nothing of our
citizens unless it was their good will and
possibly a site for his plant. This we
could well afford to give as such an insti-
tuition would bring many recruits to the
dinner pail brigade-that industrial
phalanx which means the bone and sinew
OF country's prosperity. Mr.. Roberts
has had attractive offers from the sound
but is favorably inclined towards Yaki-
ma, as he expressed himself to the direc-
tors of the Commercial club up on his re-
turn from Tacoma, Tuesday, and he left
for home that evening with the promise
OF submitting written statement of the
conditions under which he would move
his plant to Yakima.

A NOBLE SHOWING.

According to compilation made by the
Chicago Tribune, the rich people of the
United States have by gifts or legacies en-
riched our institutions for the public good
by SIC, 434 $50 since the beginning of the
year. That sum represents part of what
the public spirit, generosity and philan-
thropy of American millionaires have done
for the people in the space of five months.
1t is certainly noble showing-one that
cannot be equaled in any other age than
this nor in any other country than ours.
AS an illustration of the objects which
engage the support of our millionaires and
an evidence of the comparative support
given to different classes of institutions, it
is worth noting that of the total amount
stated colleges and universities got "a, 075,-
$50, hospitals 81, 593,0o churches $7S9, 900,
Libraries S20S,J0O, and museums, art gal
ieries and other institutions So, 768, 400.
The splendid showing made by these
figures is the more notable because the
country has barely emerged from two
dreary years of industrial depression and
money is scarce, and because, with the ex-
ceptlon OF S1,0O0,000 given to Columbia
college by Professor Low and 100000 to
the University of Pennsylvania by Provost
Harrison, there have been no very large or
exceptional gifts or requests made thus far
during the year. The sum therefore repre-
sents what may be considered the normal
donations OF American wealth to American
education, culture and charity. They
amount to about 100000 month and

THE BERKELEY BOYS.

1t is only natural that the severe setback
which the Berkeley teams received at Chi
cago on Saturday should make the lads
feel more or less dispirited, but that is only
because they had been hitherto SO remark
ably victorious. Considering the fact that
they plunged into these contests in a hot
and facilitating climate to which they
were utterly unaccustomed. Immediately
after fatiguing trip of 5000 miles, and
that they acquired their prowess and
conducted their campaign without the
help of trainers and attendants, and that
they have rushed out of one contest into
another with the bravest teams that the
East can produce, without taking time for
rest and recuperation, and that they have
travelled more than any other team in the
history of athletics, the record which they
have made, even including the disaster at
Chicago, is the most brilliant of modern
times.
The strength, endurance and pluck which
they.have displayed are unequaled and in
credible. Suffering every possible extra
neous disadvantage, including the won
derful stimulus which the presence of
friends imparts, and supported only by
their phenomenal grit and heroic physi-

Rupert Schmid Is Working in Marble
at Carrara.

Rupert Schm1d Is Working in Marble
at Carrara.
Rupert Schmid, who has been in Europe
since November, is coming home next
month with large store of marbles, which
he has made during his sojourn abroad.
AT present he is working at Carrara, in
Italy, putting the finishing touches to a
number OF busts. Among them are Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Donahue, bust of Gov
ernor Downey, which will be placed in
Holy Cross Cemetery, and busts of Mr..
and Mrs. Barron, Alexander Montgomery,
Adam smith, Miss Marguerite Wallace
and James D. Phelan. Many of these
busts are being duplicated. For some
time Rupert Schmid's work at Carrara was
interrupted by the severe strikes in the
district, when the military had to be called
out to quell the riot, and when blocks of
marble were hurled at the soldiers. All.
however, is quiet there now.
In Munich, where the California sculptor
stayed previous to going to Italy, he saw a
great deal of Toby Rosenthal, of whose
latest paintings he speaks very enthusi-
astically. 1t is expected that Mr. Schmid
will be back in San Francisco at the end
of july.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

From the meager details of the seventh
statistical report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, telegraphed to this
City, the following summary and conclu-
sions may be made:
/. One-fourth of the total railway cap
italization is in the hands of receivers, and
last year sixteen roads we're abandoned
and seventy-seven were not operated.
2. Construction decreased heavily.
3. There was an unusually heavy move
ment in consultations.
4. The decrease in the number of en-
ployes was 10. rs per cent, and the amount
OF stock paying no dividends was g. 43 of
the whole.
On its face this is a discouraging show
ing, but little explanation will change
the aspect. The year was an exceptionally
hard one, the strikes of last summer and
the general business depression affecting
the roads with peculiar severity. With
regard to the large percentage of roads in
the hands of receivers, they are largely the
long overland lines, such as the Santa Fe
and the Union Pacific. Had these been
managed with the shrewdness character
iZing the conduct of the Southern Pacific
they might possibly have thrived as well.
1t is quite clear that the terrible strain
of last year will bring permanent good
result to the soundness of American rail-
way operations. The old slap-dash way of
borrowing to an extent out of all proper
ton to legitimate estimates of a steady
earning capacity has been destroyed, and
no longer may railway managers violate
accepted business canons in any particular.
The very abuses which they practiced
have brought them severe punishment,
and have invited the operation of those
legal and ethical pressures which are subdu-
ing them to discipline. Thus the past year
has worked one of the most needed revolu-
tions that this country has ever seen, and
we have taken one more step out of chaos.
When all the bewildering entanglements
resulting from the years overturning have
been properly adjusted, the railway bust
ness of the country will brighten and
settle itself into its proper place in the ma
terial concerns of the Nation.
In new enterprises it will be the rule
henceforth that railways will be con-
structeu on straight business lines, in
which an economical administration and
reasonable profits will govern. There is
almost unlimited room for further con-
struction, especially in the develo pment of
new agricultural areas; and as the new
roads will carry very much smaller bur-
den of debt than the old, their profits will
be larger.

FEAT OF FAST TRAINS,
California Fruits on Eastern Tables
Five Days After Being Picked
in the Valleys.

The third train of ventilated fruit cars
carrying California fruits to Eastern mar
kets arrived yesterday at Chicago after a
run of 100 hours from Sacramento The
schedule time was maintained all the way
through, so the fruit arrived on time and
in excellent condition. The fruits sent to
Chicago on the two preceding trains sold
for good prices that gladdened the hearts
of many an orchardist, and as the third
lot is in good condition equally satisfactory
prices may be realized.
By the new system and it's improved
time schedule fruits picked from the trees
in orchards of the Sacramento Valley bv
day can be forwarded to the capital city
before night, or at least in time to make
connection with the special fast fruit train
leaving that place at midnight. Then
they are whirled away at speed greater
than that made by former mail trains.
The result is striking For these same
luscious fruits can have passed across the
continent and then through Eastern mar
kets and be upon dinner tables within five
days after they were picked from the trees
in California. Three companies, the Cen
trail Pacific, Union Pacific and Chicago
and Northwestern, have made this posi-
bic by their united efforts, which give
them profitable business.

SHALL CHRISTIANS DANCE}
Rev. F. D. Baker Has Received
a Letter Dealing With
the Subject.
The Kings Daughters Entertain
ment Again Under Discussion.
A Woman'S View.

Rev. F. D. Bakers remarks at a Metbo-
dist preachers meeting recently in regard
to closing a Kings Daughters entertain
ment with dancing aroused considerable
| interest and provoked some discussion in
private circles.
The entertainment referred to was given
at Beethoven Hall in the Hotel Savoy.
The Kings Daughters gave literary and
musical programme for the benefit of the
Home of Incurableg, and it was announced
at the close of the formal exercises that
those who desired might enjoy the pleas
ures of the dance. MIR. Baker said he did
not know whether there was any dancing
or not, but the announcement was suf-
ficient.
1t was rumored that he had received
peculiar letter from Los Angeles in refer
ence to his position on the subject, and
yesterday he gave the letter for publica-
ton, but with reluctance, as he considered
that in itself trihing. He would be glad,
he said, if its publication might lead to a
discussion OF dancing as an amusement for
Christians, as he believes that the churches
as whole, no matter what stand indi-
vldual congregations may take, are OPP
posed to it. The letter is as follows:
Los ANGELES.
10 MT. BdkeT-DEAR SIR: l have Just read
paragraph in the Los Angeles Times emanating
from one of your red selves, headed, Danced
in His Name"
This master of teachers, Jesus of Nazareth
said: in speaking of the self-righteous: "They
strain at gHat, and swallow a camel. They
BIND heavy burdens upon mems backs but they
themselves will not touch them with one of
their fingers" Has Mr.. Baker or his wife been
reared in cultured society? Did his red self
ever realize the essence OF poetry-poetry of
thought, of manner of feeling, of song and,
lastly but not leastly, the poetry of motion? II
is to be greatly regretted when men are chosen
as teachers that are too uneducated and ignor-
ant to understand these fine instincts and
men who seat themselves ON pedestals of their
own building and treat others as animals only
lit to guzzle tea say prayers and support teach
ers in supreme idleness.
What does Mr.. 3. mean when he repeats Gin
his name" SO often? Does he mean the great
Almighty Ruler OF the universe or, concluding
we are all idolatoTs does he mean the poor
murdered Judean peasant of 1900 years record
who could not save himself from a cruel death
We could assuredly advise Mr.. B. and his con-
freres of the Methodist ilk to read up and do a
little better, instead of airing their Ignorance
Mr.. B. has never learned 10 dance or probably
any other refined accomplishments "Piuck
out the bean in thine own eyes," etc. Copy
the Master, Mr.. B., and try to follow the pre-
cepts that he taught. Christ never spoke
word against dancing. His denunciation was
only against sin and hypocrisy. Yours in
friendship, JULIA H. PERRY.

THE PREVAILING SPIRIT.

Los Gatos has fallen into line with the
other progressive towns of the interior, for
its leading men and women have organized
an improvement club. Although we are
not yet fully informed concerning the
scope of the clubs intention, the names of
those organizing the movement are suf-
ficient to show not only that the club can
achieve whatever it undertakes, but that it
will undertake those things which viii add
all that intelligence can to the remarkable
natural charms which compose the envir-
onment of the town.
1t is particularly interesting to observe
that both men and women constitute the
club. The introduction of women into
these movements adds strong element of
grace and pertinacity, and the example set
by Los Gatos may be profitahly adopted
by every other town and city in the State
1t is the natural slovenliness of men that
accounts in greater part for the barren,
dreary and ill-kept condition of the towns.
We may be sure that if women would take
greater interest in town Improvements
there would be no Uttered streets, no dirty
and ill-kept sidewalks, no dust in winter
or mud in summer; that the streets would
be lined with shade trees, that attractive
parks would appear and that the residents
would be persuaded to cultivate flowers
and keep their premises in cond ition
that would not menace the health of the
people.
Los Gatos lies in a cul-de-sac in the
Santa Cruz Mountains, and rolls gracefully
from the Santa Clara Valley almost to the
SUBMITS OF the mountains. The view
over the broad valley is as enchanting as a
mirage OF the Nile. Eight miles to the
northward rise the spires of San Jose, and
if the air is clear the broad shining surface
of San Francisco Bay is seen cleaning in
the sunshine twenty miles away. Toward
the east, across the valley, stretch the
mountains of the Coast Range, the glitter
ing dome of the Lick Observatory shining
like blazing star On the summit of Mount
Hamilton, while stretching northward on
the west are the dark purple Santa Cruz
Mountains reposing in the shade of their
OWL forests.
Of greater value than this superb scenery
is climate that permits the extensive cul-
tivation of oranges, for this is above the
level of frosts, and fuchsias and scented
geraniums grow to be trees. 1t is the par
adise OF invalids and of sportsmen as
well, for the hunting and fishing in these
mountains are superb. Having SO many
remarkable and peculiar attractions it is
wonderful that the fame of Los Gatos is
not wider than it is; but now that its own
citizens have taken in hand the task of
making it as attractive as possible we may
expect early and generous returns.
