Excur.,on TO Nee the Ba,,Ieship.

The first excursion of the season
occurs next Sunday. The steamer
Multnomah will make trip to Port
Orchard, leaving at Z A. NJ. and re-
turning by 8 O'Clock in the evening.
Passengers will be carried the round
trip for Is cents. AS the battleship
Oregon is now in the drydock at Port
Orchard, this tri p affords an excellent
opportunity for our people to see one
of the largest and best equipped bat
tleships i'll the world, out Of water, af.
fording an opportunity for forming Il
true conception of her vast proportions.
The Oregon has been under commits
sion about one year. Her keel was
laid in 1891. She is l0,2SS tons dis
placement, 5000 horsepower, rated
ut Ii knot speed and cost the govern
ment 81, 100000. She is armed with
4 l3.inch rifles, S-inch rifles, 6-inch
rifles, 26 6-pounders, rapid-fire guns,
6 l-pounder rapid firing and 4 gatling
guns. She is covered with III inch
steel-plate armOr. The Oregon was
sent to Port Orchard drydock to have
her bottom scraped and painted, but
before entering the basin the necessity
for dOckage was UNNECESSARILY in
creased by grounding while approach
ing the dock, by which mishap her
frame was sprung. 1t seems that the
ship has been waiting a favorable state
OF the tides, at this season of the year,
to enter the dock at Port Orchard,
which fact demonstrates that the loca-
ton is not what it should be in all
respects.

John r.. Aver called Down.

"By the laws of England and all the
Atlantic States and which the
Supreme Court of the United States may
yet declare for us the flats of Seattle
would have gone to those who reclaimed
or purchased the adjoining shores -
Jain f. -1yer, Daily Otympian, AprH 10,
1897.
BY the common law, the title and
dominion in lands flowed by the tide
were i'll the king for the benefit of the
nation. Upon the Amcri-
can Revolution these rights charged
with like trust were vested in the
original States. The new
States admitted into the Union since
the adoption of the Constitution have
the same rights as the original States
i'll the tide waters and the lands under
them"

In this ease the decisions of all the
State courts are cited and reviewed.
The cases i'll Supreme Court of the
United States are uniform, and are
we'll expressed by Il quotation from IL
decision on an appeal from this State,
decided April 80, 1894.
THAT the title to tide lands is in
the State is proposition which has
been again and again affirmed by this
court"
Mann vs.. Tacoma Land Company. "a Supreme
Court Reporter, so.
The decisions of our own Supreme
Court are also uniform upon this ques-
ton.
In what part of our State Constitu-
ton did you, Mr.. Aver, find the provi-
sion "that three fourths of the pro-
ceeds from the city tide lands should
he applied to the improvement of the
harbors from whence they are drawn?
Is it not some mere Legislative act to
which you refer? Now will Mr.. Aver
explain how We can expect the govern
ment of the United States to improve
our harbors if the State does the work :?
Mr.. Aver. you have offered a very
lame defense. / trust for the credit of
the State there is one more substan-
tial. 1t would be better to prove Mr..
Bridges a Great Slanderer" than to
make the charge in an article full of
errors, pique, ilattery, if you know
the facts of concealment.

"The Governor stated that as re-

bankruptcy, and expected the State to
help them out."-Oregonian.
With what a frigidity this iceberg

of the lips he utters the word "com-

gracefulness he bestrides the chair of

learn to ride under a competent in

Rev. l.. ID. Scobcy, father of the cdi-
tor OF Olympian, died at Fayctte, Iowa,
yesterday. Mr.. 5. visited his relatives
here in 1895, and many of our people
retain 4 pleasant memory of his atli-
bility and quick perception of and
adaptabilty t" western traits. He was
in the Slst year OF his age.
Some complaints have been made in
regard to last bicycle riding on Fourth
street. Many of the better class OF
riders are i'll favor OF the rigid enforce
mcnt of the provision of the bicycle
ordinance, which requires riders to
slow up within fifty feet of street
crossings and to ring Il warming bell.
This would seem desirable, inasmuch
As the electric street lights are to be
shut of after tonight.

will keep the "wolf from the door
for months to come. This method of
uniting meritorious object with a
season of pleasure is to be commended,
especially in these times when it is
not unusual for rations to run very
low.
The "Question Club" met Saturday
night at Columbia Hall and was
entertained by State Superintendent

subject was an analysis of Governor
Rogers pamphlet, "Frec Land" from
a single-tax standpoint. Mr.. Robt.

on the effects of the present revenue
laws. The club will meet on the
evening of the oath inst, at Miller's
Business College, Grovenor building,
Eastside. Everybody is welcome to
attend and participate in discussion.

None But Ayers at the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparila only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to he an honest, scientific prepare
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailing friend, and you
will say it is.

DEATH OF THOMAS MACLEAY.
One OF OlymPia's Old.Timc Mer.
chants Passes over the Dark
River.

Thomas Monroe Macleay, one of
our pioneer residents, died on the 18th
inst, after u protracted illness. He
was born in Rosshire, Scotland, in
1910. He leaves widow and four
children, three daughters at home,
and 4 son who was, owing to distance,
not able to be present Mt the obsequies.
He was buried yesterday, a long con-
course of citizens testifyng their respect
to his memory by following his body
to the grave.
Thomas Macleay was, up to the time
OF his aifliction, a man of enterprise
and splendid business capacity. He
managed successfully for many years,
one of the largest wholesale and retail
grocery establishments on the Sound.
He was a man of the most genial
nature. His friendship was warm
and enduring. He was generous to
a fault, and in business matters
prompt, exact and scrupulously hon
est. In those days, Thomas Macleay's
word was good rs bond and his name
TO an obligation as safe rs the paper
of the Bank of England.
1t was the privilege of the writer in
the halcyon days of yore to know the
deceased well, and in all that inter
course rs neighbors and friends we
ever found him to possess that genial,
happy, contented disposition, which
contributes SO much to make the world
radiant with promise and bright with
hope. Until the later years of his life
were clouded by the dark shadows of
physical decay, it may be truly said
that the world was better for his
having, for brief period, been one of
the grains of sand on the shore of
time. The suffering family may

Weep not for him that dicth
For he hath ceased from tears
And a voice TO his replieth
Which he hath not heard for yeaIs"

CHAs. PATNUDE RETURNs.-Chas.
Patnude returned Wednesday evening
from a prolonged pilgrimage for work
at his trade, plasterer and brick ma
son. He has been gone two Years,
and returns poor as he departed. The
first year was spent at Los Angeles,
Cal, where he was employed with
Simeon Dock, another mason from
this city, at $3 per day-6O per cent.
of old-time wages-when the cyclone
struck st. Louis, blowing its way
through the heart of the city, and
Patnude and Dock both Jumped
their jobs" and proceeded to the scene
OF disaster, expecting to find immed-
late and lucrative employment in re-
pairing and replacing the shattered
walls. But they found several thous-
and craftsmen had been impressed
with the same idea, and who were
earlier on the ground from having a
shorter distance to travel. Patnude
then went to Marionette, Wisconsin,
where he has been a year working at
snch Jobs as he could find, at 50 per
day. He left here with the idea that
he might be able to earn money to
hit an remembrance from his property.
but he found that hard times prevail
wherever he has been, and he would
have doubtless done as well to have
remained at home.

CITY MATTERS.-Very little bust
ness was transacted by the City Coun-
Gil at the meeting Monday evening,
except auditing the bills for care of
the smallpox patient. These bills,
which were summarized in our last
paper, came from the finance commit
tee with two reports, one signed by
White recommending allowance, and
another by Wilson advising rejection.
The latter Councilman gave as rea-
son for his action that member had
expressed grave doubts of the malig-
nant nature of the disease and this
carried with it doubt of authority to
incur an extraordinary expense. 1t
transpired in the course of discussion
that Mr.. Smedley was the Councilman
referred to, but it was urged that many
OF the bills incurred were for supplies,
furnished in good faith, and should be
paid. This was finally done, except
the claim made by the Health Officer
for professional services, which was re-
duced from $3.50 to 1925, the Mayor
stating that he would probably not
feel justified in signing warrant
for the full amount by any action the
Council might take. 1t was ordered
that the sum of SIS per month be paid
Mark Mack for services as policeman,
the compensation paid by the citizens
having fallen below reasonable COM
pensation. The ordinance fixing the
regular meetings of the Council on the
first Monday of each month passed.

IS Music Hath Charms.n

To the educated artistic ear, the
human voice is the grandest instru-
ment of harmony that has ever enrap-
tured the senses. Its complete mod
ulations, its varied expressions, its
power and sweetness, combined with
an articulate rhythm that watts exalted
ideas clothed with beautiful colors and
and tintings of melody to the enrap-
tured senses, make it the perfect
medium for union of the soul with
those heaven-born attributes that seem
to afford glimpse of the elysium
which we all hope is to be the reward
of forbearance and virtue.
The capabilities of the human voice
are astounding, as has been shown bv
the occasional development of natural
gifts to their full strength and power.
What human agency has ever swayed
simultaneously multitudes of people,
as the matchless Jenny Lind, when
her marvellous voice made the world
stand entranced, nearly half a century
ago? She is taken as true index OF
the power of the human voice, be-
cause with her it was more the result
of nature than of study or art. She
gave promise at the age of nine OF her
wonderful vocal powers, and her sub
sequent studies under Garcia and in
structions by Mayerbeer, only pointed
and directed the native talent into
channels bound by the conventionali-
ties of refined taste.
These reflections are induced by the
appearance next week (Thursday
evening" at Olympia Theater, of ladies
selected from the leading vocalists of
the country to form a quartette that
should surpass any similar organiza.
ton that has ever appeared in the
larger cities. 1t was not contemplated
to send them to this Coast, but for
tuitOus circumstances has resulted in
extending their tour over the north
western district, and by that means our
city has been favored with visit from
the talented artistes. Our people are
noted for the possession of much
musical talent and We have, therefor,
qualified critics and competent judges.
1t is hoped that every one of them
will be present Thursday night, as
we'll as those who love harmony and
can fully appreciate pathos and mirth,
to greet the charming Miss Caruthers
in her character sketches and recita.
