Thanksgiving day in Seattle came near
having a lurid ending IN the. form OF a
disastrous fire which broke out al s;5a
o'clock last night in the rear of Joseph
Mayer Bros saiesroom at Il6 Cherry
street, in a small Office used as a sealing
room The cause of tho fire is unknown.
The little room was Uttered with wrap
ping paper and gas jet used for melting
sealing wax hung from the ceiling one
theory is that this gas Jet was left burn
ing and ignited the paper. Another is
that electric light wires in the same room
became crossed and started the blaze. II
is said that there had been some reason 70
suspect trouble from this latter cause.
The wiring. 1t is said. had some of it been
done by employees of the company and was
not entirely safe.
Whatever may have been the cause OF
the blaze, il spread through the store with
great rap!dity. When first noticed by Mer-
chants Patrolmsa Henry Surry al $50
O'Clock the storeroon was full Of thick.
black smoke. which was pouring out
through every crsyice In the barred doors
and windows. No blaze could be seen, but
the crash Of glass breaking from the heat
told clearly that the flames were licking
with fierce tongues the show cases and
glassware Of the stock.
Giving the Alarm.
Surry ran across the street and turned
in the alarm from the box on the corner.
Almost al the same instant the smoke
pouring up through the ceiling penetrated
the editorial rooms and composing room
Of the Posi-Intell!gencer, On the third floor
above, and preparations were hastily made
by the employees TO abandon the premises
should IL become Necessary. There WAS
little confusion and much valuable porta-
Bile properly was carried entirely away
from the local rooms and art department
and out OF danger. A member OF the local
staff found time 10 ring In an alarm bu;
few seconds later than Surry's. and the
city editor turned In an alarm by tele-
phone.

Cuba and Puerto Rico are the only
possessions left to Spain in the New
World. She will soon lose Cuba, that
is now certain. And a revolt In Pu-
erto Rico is among the possibilities
OF the early future. Not long ago a
rebellion there was freely predicted.
The same abuses that have been no.
table in Cuba have existed in the 9TH
er colony, and the Madrid govern
ment has acknowledged their pres.
ence sufficiently to undertake to es-
tablish autonomy there also.
There is no use of making two bites
Of cherry. Spain!is a troublesome
neighbor. She should be driven out
Of this hemisphere. While we are
aiding Cuba to free herself, let us
make the job complete by aiding Pu-
erto Rico also. Then Spain will have
no possessions in America, and no
business in this half Of the world

j. Knox GAVIN and His Troupe.
Opera House, April 4th., 9Th, and etl

Between Love and Duty" was the
title Of the play last evening at the
Turner Opera House. The plot de-
picted the old story of rich city
gentleman who married a simple
country maiden, whose face was her
fortune, and who retained her natural
ways in spite of the artificial sur
roundings OF her new position. In
PRODUCED into the play to add spice TO
the plot was scheming widow who
had refused the rich gentleman's
proposal Of marriage, and now re-
GREETED 1t, and whose sole purpose in
life now was to make the young wife
miserable. The three acts were
styled Mated, Mismated and Re-
mated" and In the last act the wife
turns the tables on her husband, and
blooms forth as a society favorite. j..
Knox Gavin, as Harry Neville, and
Jennie Platt, as Nellie Grazebrook,
had the leading characters OF the
rich husband and his country maiden
wife. G. b. Richardson as "Blinker"
Neville's valet, and Sadie Hart, as
Betsy Blossom" Mrs. Neville's
maid, created plenty of fun, and
their musical specialties were good.
Richardson is a young comedian Of
rare promise. His clever "skit" last
night of a French nobleman was
rich. G. B. Coast as Daniel Craze
brook" showed up to good advantage
in the old man part, but as a polit-
cal orator he didn't count. w. +.
Powell as "Dr. Chippendale," made
considerable fun himself. His make
ups were a noticeable feature. Emma
Haynor as the witching and willowy
widow was graceful figure on the
stage and took her part well. In the
second act Gavin and his wife and
Richardson sang beautiful trio, to
an accompaniment by Gavin on the
guitar. Mrs Gavin Is pleasing
soprano. The troupe give perform
ance that Is well worth the price of
admission. To night the play is

promises to show his versatility by
taking an old man part. Evening

IF we can open our mints," says
Senator Mills, of Texas, ito the un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of l ounce of gold for 16 ounces Of
silver, when in every market in the
world l ouoce of gold is worth 80

rapid and considerable occupancy of
the wild lands of Michigan and Wis
consin within few years, a process
which will greatly add to the popu-
lation and wealth of those states
There are special features connected
with this movement which will give
it character sharply In contrast with
the usual experiments in. the settle
ment of new lands. AS rule when
the pioneers 90 into new country,
they are obliged to penetrate far
beyond the populous and improved
regions, and without any means Of
travel or the transit Of products and
merchandise, except the slow NOV

Bnt the farmer who goes into the
timbered regions Of Northern Mich
igan or Wisconsin reaches his desti-
nation on a railroad, for the entire
country W here pine operations have
been carried on for years is traversed
by railways, built either for ordinary
traffic, or for hauling logs to the mill
or lumber to market. Scattered all
over the country are towns, post
offices, and schools, and all the
advantages of rural civilization.
These advantages should be suf-
flcient to outweigh those OF richer
soil or milder climate west and south
west. In the timbered regions Of
Michigan and Wisconsin, moreover,
there Is another advantage to the
settler. Woodworking industries
have been established for years and
will increase in number and capacity
as the occupancy Of the hardwood
lands shall promote the utilization
of the timber on thousa nds OF small
holdings. Thus the farmer, IL for
tunate enough to secure land with
considerable amount of timber still
standing on it, will be able to mar
ket logs and firewood, and thus Sc

live until he can clear his land and
get it into crops. The prairie farmer
