Much inconvenience to patrons Of
the Sunset Telephone Company in
this city was caused by sixty of the
most experienced operators going out
on a strike last Saturday. New girls
are now being broken in, but while
this is being done the man at the
other end of the line is cursing blue
streaks because he does not get the
number. The girls wanted shorter
hours, more pay and more operators,
which prompted the strike. The
company is not inclined to concede
to the sweet "hello girl' in any of
these propositions, hence the con-
tlnued annoyance Had not the labor
agltators put their bills into it the
girls might have won their points,
but Billy Middleton and Billy Arm
strong's appearance in the muddle
meant certain defeat for the cause OF
the girls.

MCKINLEY TARIFF
Especial Correspondence

NDPNSAo1 NOIICo pOIIOlCIICC.J
Washington, July 49, -Four
achievements in the management of
the public finances and revenues un-
der the administration of President
Mckinley stand out with marked
prominence:
First, in point Of success, is the
Dingley tariff; second, the reform in
the currency; third, the war loan Of
1898; and, fourth, the settlement of
the Pacific railroad Indebtedness.
Perhaps never before in the his
tory of this country have 50 many
fisca achievements been accomplish
eel in so brief time. With the ex-
ception of the Pacific railroad settle
ment, these events bear, to a consid-
erable degree, relationship to each
other. Underlying the success of the
war loan of 1898, and the reform in
the currency, was the basis Of pros
perlty established by the prompt and
effective tariff legislation. The presi-
dent well understood the necessity
for speedy modification in the tariff
Within forty-eight hours after his in
'auguration he issued a proclamation

A most shocking crime was com
mitted in the tenderloin district last
Sunday evening, when Peter Peter
son, a man about town, shot a wom-
an, Annie by name, and believing her
fatally wounded sent two bullets
crashing through his own body,
causing instant death. The woman
says the man was her uncle and had
forced her to live a life Of shame to
make money for him to spend in
riotous living since she was but six
teen years Of age.

Had Seen Better Days"

yes, I've seen better days." sor-
roWfully remarked a Caucasian lady
one day last week in this city, "for
once [ had such as now stands at the
gate by the scores to come and go at
my beck and call" sSuch as stands
at the gate" was nothing more nor
less than the image of bare-headed,
jet black Negro boy, to which one
could hitch his horse should the
antiquated old Southerner ever have
a visitor able to come to her home in
a carriage. Not being able to have
servants Of any kind at present, she
had managed to get enough money
together to purchase that image.
which doubtless was to remind her OF
what she was pleased to call "bette1
days" "But," unused the white
haired old lady, "the Negroes are

Iemplary citizens for so short period

Ex-Governor John H. McGraw has
returned from Nome and confirms
the former report of the place as to
it being death trap. He was to be
court commissioner there, but he pre-
ferred to take no chances with his
life for the money that it was thought
he would make while there. Gold is
very scarce at Nome, and there will
be nothing with which to pay the
endless litigation that is supposed to
take place among those having claims
in and about Nome.

Co1ored BARRIERS in Seattle

A well-known Afro-American bar
Der Of this city who makes no bones
of saying to colored men in need of
a tonsorial artist, II have no black
soap in this shop, so you can not get
accommodated here" Pardon the
DEPRESSION, but any Negro that will
refuse to accommodate gentlemen of
his own color in the Northwest either
III barber shop or any other place Of
public accommodation, is himself a
"puke" of the lowest ilk, and the
sooner he is dead and at the devil
the better off will humanity be. This
Negro barber not long ago asked to
be served at a certain cheap restau-
rant and was refused on account of
his color, and when he consulted his
lawyer as to a damage suit for the in
suit, he was very promptly informed
that he had better cease refusing col
ored men accommodations himself
before wanting to prosecute Others

Co1ored County Commissioner

In the state Of Washington at pres
.ent there are about 5000 colored vot-
.ers, and strange to say, not one
among the more prominent of them
endorses the gubernatorial eandi-
dacy Of Tom Humes, except Mr..
James E. Shepperson, of Roslyn, and
DIR. Samuel Burdett, Of Seattle.
Perhaps if Mr. Shepperson knew Mr..
Humes as well as the Negroes Of this
city know him he, too, would be
against him. Mr. Shepperson is a
power in Kittitas county politics, and
rumor has it that he will be a candi-
date for county commissioner from
the Roslyn section Of that county,
and he already has practically secur-
ed the endorsement Of the entire
western part of the county for the
nomination, providing he can carry
Roslyn, and this he believes he can
do, as he has succeeded in doing so
IN former political contests, despite
bitter opposition.

Negroes in Dawson City

i am heartily glad to be in Seattle
agan and once more with my rela-
tives and friends" said Mrs. Sallie
Freeman, who went to Alaska and
married l. l. Walker, who is also well
known here. Mrs. Walker returned
last Friday very sick woman. She
has been confined to her bed in Daw-
son since last fall, which has con-
sumed the better part of what she
and her husband made before she
broke in health. '"There are quite a
number Of colored folk in and about
Dawson City, more by far than
knew anything about, but they are
all doing remarkably well. They can
and do make money up there, but
do not know whether or not they are
saving it. More colored folk are 90
ing IN every week and as fast as thev
get there they are given good employ
ment. Women earn from 800 to
1925 per month and their work is in
demand. Wages will be better now,
owing to the fact that 50 many of the
working women have gone to Nome. %

Fritz Keeb1e in Tacoma

Recently restaurant keeper in
Tacoma refused to serve Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Fritz Keeble, the well-known
barber of that city, on account of
their color. Mr.. Keeble has been a
resident Of the City Of Destiny for
many years, and had never before
been similarly insulted, and it was
more than he thought he could stand.
He, therefore, had his attorney enter
a civil suit for damages against the
proprietor of the restaurant and also
swore to a criminal complaint charg-
ing the restaurant keeper with break
ing the laws Of the state by refusing
to serve customers on account OF
their color. This, however, is de-
MED by the proprietor, but the case
has been docketed and Mr.. Keeble
proposes to not leave a stone unturn-
ed to punish the man offering him
such a public insult.

Holmes in Spokane

Press dispatches report a civil and
criminal case instituted by Mr.. E. I'll.
Holmes, well-known young colored
man Of Spokane, against restaurant
keeper in that city for refusing to
serve himself and wife as it does
other guests. Mr. Holmes, who was
in Seattle last week, said to a repre-
sentative of this paper: 1T is my
intention to push both the civil and
criminal case to the bitter end. I
will accept no compromise, for that
but leaves the situation open that
others may be similarly insulted, and
| want the matter settled once for all.
If those men have legal right to
insult Afro-Americans, then I pro-
pose to find that OUT
