acknowledgements CONCERT.
A Saturday Evening Concert to Be
Given In Front of the s.P.-I. - Office.

Seattle. a city Of e5.o0o people, is the
poorest Saturday night" town west of
the Mississippi valley. 1t is a recognized
fact that you see no more people on the
streets Saturday evening than on any
other night. What is the reason?" we
are asked.
rs it because your merchants make
no extra efforts or inducements 10 get
the people out that evening to do their
shopping. or do they manage to complete
their purchases during the day. preferring
to remain at home in the evening""
There is only one evening In the week
that our stores are kept open in Seattle,
and that is Saturday, therefore we should
see more people on our streets. There is
not city anywhere but what would gladly
welcome some sucn stores as We have
here In their midst. Stores and windows
brilliantly illuminated, gaily trimmed with
all the latest goods the choicest markets
afford, our merchants spare no expense
in serving their patrons. Let us all make
an effort to turn out and make Saturday
night the busiest time of the entire
week. Let us induce our friends and
neighbors from neighboring towns to
come in and spend Saturday night with
the Seattle people
With view of bringing that about, the
Post-Intelligencer has arranged TO give
grand open air concert in front of its
offices on next Saturday evening, from
1880 TO 10 p. m. The First Regiment band,
the leading musical organization OF the
entire Pacific Northwest, will render Sc
1ections never before heard in this sec
ton. Great preparations are being mace
10 get out the largest, brightest and most
intellectual crowd ever before witnessed
in this. the Queen City of the West" on
Saturday evening.
Make your arrangements early 10 spend
this evening with US, weather permitting,
as our guests.

THE MARQUIS HIT FIRST.
Lord Douglas Asked Him Not to Write
Letters to His Wife.

Lord Douglas Asked Him Not to Write
Letters to His Wife.
LONDON, May 22.-At the Marlborough
Street police court this morning the
Marquis of Queensberry, and his son,
Lord Douglas of Hawick, were bound
each in $500 to keep the peace. Their
appearance in the police court today was
the result of their encounter yesterday
afternoon in PiccadilIy.
Both the Marquis of Queensberry and
Lord Douglas of Hawick were fashiona-
bly, dressed. The marquis wore rose in
his button hole and did not show any
sign of yesterdays fight On the other
hand, his son had a black eye. The mar
quis was not defended by counsel, but
Lord Douglas had a lawyer present to
attend to his interests.
The police evidence regarding the en-
counter between the father and son in
Piccadilly yesterday afternoon was first
given. The disturbance was described
as having taken place near the
corner of Bond street A few
words were exchanged and a brief
but very determined conflict followed.
The combatants were soon separated by
the police who escorted them to the near
est police station, where they were
charged with disorderly conduct, as
neither the father nor son would prefer
charge against the other.
In his defense the Marquis of Queens
berry said that while he was walking in
PiccadiIly his son, Lord Douglas of Ha-
wick came running at him and pushed
him against a store window, speaking at
the top of his voice. The Marquis added
that he struck his son in self-defense
Counsel for Lord Douglas of Hawick
said that the latter and a friend were
walking in Piccadilly, not thinking of
the Marquis of Queens berry. when the
encounter between Lord Douglas and
his father took place
Counsel added that Lady Douglas of
Hawiok yesterday received the follow
ing telegram: ~ must congratulate you
on the result, but cannot congratulate
you on Percy's appearance. He looks
like dug up corpse. l fear there is too
much madness in kissing. Taylor
guilty; it will be Wilde's turn tomor-
row."
1t is also asserted that the marquis
had written to Lady Douglas false
charges against her husband and mem
bers of the family, and that although he
had promised to stop writing he had
not done so. Yesterday it was claimed
Lord Douglas asked the marquis tc
cease writing these obscene and filthy
letters to his wife.
The marquis then hit him in the face
and the fight between the father and
son followed After further evidence
showing that the marquis was the ag-
gressor, the case was settled by the mar
quis and his son being bound over each
in $500 bail to keep the peace.
The Marquis of Queensberry was pre-
sent at the trial of Oscar Wilde today
During the morning Wilde was taken
i'll and left the court.
