1t is doubtless the privilege of team
stcrs to haul their loads of wood and
bark to town before they have con-
tracted for the sale of such product,
but they have neither the moral nor
legal right to leave their teams stand
ing for half Il day exposed to the
drcnching rains and cutting winds
which prevail at this season of the
year. The city has provided a com
Portable shelter for teams coming in
from the country, and their owners
should be made to utilize this munich
pal privilege for the well-being of their
domestic animals if not for them
selves.
Memorial services in honor of the
public life of Henry George were held
in the Unitarian church, Sunday after
noon, at which Rev. III. N. Alling,
Robt. Bridges and Judge Reed, of
Snohomish, were the speakers, and
their subject an eulogy of the career
of the eminent man who passed away
so suddenly, a few days ago. With
such theme, it did not require the
imprisoned eloquence for which these
gentlemen are noted, to enlist the at
tention and sympathy of the audience.
Their duty was simply to narrate the
reforms inaugurated and supported by
the great commoner to enlist the
warm feeling of all who heard them.
Georges life history is his eulogy, and
the success he achieved up to the time
of his death was the best evidence
that his so called theories are based
upon the fundamental principles of
free government.
The colored quarters on a Southern
plantation in old slavery days form
the scene reproduced in Whallen &
MartelPs mammoth production, "The
South Before the War;" which occu-
pies the stage of Olympia Theater on
next Thursday night. Buck and
wing dancing, cake walk for gold
and silver medals, jubilee songs and
dances, and an old-time colored camp
meeting, introducing all the charac-
tiers usually seen there, and plea
ninny band of seventeen little colored
boys, are few of the novelties intro
duced. The performance in its en-
tirety is the best presentation of negro
life On plantation ever attempted,
and the play is pronounced hit
wherever it is produced. 1t is abso-
lutely unique and different from any
thing of the kind ever attempted.
The company numbers some fifty
people, who travel in their own pal
ace car, and who all take part in a
grand parade which starts from the
theater at IL A. NJ. Thursday.
