The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1899-01-15


Judging from every possible indication
the Eumes excursion to Olympia tomorrow
VIII be an unqualified success
Tie excursion train. = special. will start
from the depot at the foot of Columbia
street az 3 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The train win reach Olympia just abou.
noon. or in time for the opening OF the
legislative session.
Tickets for the excursion will be good
to return on any one OF three trains. viz. !:
The regular train which leaves Olympia
at . O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. or the
special excursion train which win leave
Olympia at $50 o'clock tomorrow evening.
or the regular train which leaves olympia
at o'clock p. m. on Tuesday.
In making this arrangement the COM
mittee felt that 1t was consulting the
wishes and convenience Of the largest
number of people. II may be that there
are those In the excursion who are going
TO Olympia at a real sacrifice to their
business interests and who would there
fore prefer 10 hasten back to Seattle at
the earliest possible moment. To all such
the privilege OF returning on the regular
train tomorrow afternoon, leaving Oiym-
pia at .. m. will afford the opportunity
OF participating in the Humes demonstra-
tion which will be made Immediately upon
the arrival in Olympia. spending three
hours In the city and returning to Seattle
by nightfall.
On the other hand the schedule Of the
excursion train itself has been 60 timed
sx to afford the longest possible stay In
Olympia tomorrow consistent with . re-
turn 10 Seattle in time to catch tne late
street cars. The excursion train will leave
Olympia at $50 tomorrow evening. and
win reach Seattle shortly after IL O'Clock
p. M. in ample time to catci, a car on
any Of the city lines.
To suit ssi.l another class OF persons it
was thought best to secure the privilege
OF remaining over Tuesday until after the
first ballot for Uhited States senator shall
have been taken or provided for, and con-
seqaently the committee has arranged so
that all excursion tickets will be good to
rsturn on the regular train leaving Olym-
pia at o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Ladies Are Invited.
When the committee first began LAYING
its plans for the excursion Il was not
contemplated that ladies' would make up
part OF the crowd: but feminine influence
yesterday proved stronger than the de-
vices OF the committee Inquiries from,
al parts OF the city came In as to whether
women would have the advantage OF the
low rate of fare offered and whether they
would be allowed TO contribute their iniis-
ence toward expressing Seattie's cholcs
for the United States senate A soon as
the first expression ot doubt came from
the committee remonstrances and requests
came in thick and fast, ard tire commit
tee had TO reconsider its decision. AS a
res,slt II can be definitely announced this
morning that the sale OF tickets will not
oe restricted 70 the male sex, and that
any ladies who may wish 20 go on ire
excursion are perfectly free TO purchase
tickets
