UNIVERSITY BOYS.
They Give Splendid Entertain.
ment at the Park-A Good
Audience Pressnt-Ths
Young Men Make
Fine Appearance

The bad weather last night prevented
many who had anticipated going to the
Park opera house to hear the University
Glee and Mandolin club, from going.
There was a good audience present
but not a crowded house by any means.
The boys were in fine fettle and gave a
delightful entertainment throughout.
While not markedly SO, the glee sec-
tion seemed to be the favorites Of the
audience. Their singing was we'll timed
and their voices blended most harmoni-
ously. In fact from a superficial view
point it can be said that there was mel
ody in everything that they sang, which
must have come from long and hard
training.
The mandolin portion Of the club gave
their numbers with dash. There was
not an instrument out Of tune. All ap-
peared to be masters Of their instruments
and all endeavored to present the best
possible harmony and they succeeded
most admirably.
One thing was noticeable and remark
seem to have that abandon which usual
ly is part OF the college glee clubs. All
the boys wore such serious expressions
upon their faces, that it seemed little
bit foreign to the average student.
There were twelve numbers to the pro-
gram and almost every number the au
dience demanded an encore, which in
many instances was responded to with
alacrity, showing a disposition to please
not always the case with entertainments
OF that character.
LIE. Hill, the leader of the mand olin
section OF the club. With bis brother
Daniel Hill, are we'll known in this city
where they have resided for number Of
years. Mr.. Hill certainly deserves a
great deal of praise for the manner in
| which he has trained the club He
seemed to have his whole soul in the en-
tertainment and was desireus Of doing
as we'll, if not better. in tho sity OF his
home than elsewhere.
s. A. Costen of Greeley was the leader
of the glee section and he is master
hand at leading.
Without any question whatever the
audience was we'll pleased with the en-
tertainment and the young men them
selves. They made good impression
for the college in this city and that is
their history everywhere throughout
the state where they have been on this
trip.
Among those whose faces were famil-
lar was Wallace Carver, young man Of
this city whs is a medic, studying in the
medical department OF the university
and who hopes soon to plase M. d.
after his name. Mr.. Carver was visit
ing with friends in the audience during
the intermission in the entertainment as
were the other boys who had friends in
this city.
There was large contingent Of the
students Of the High school at the en-
tertainmsnt 1t being distinotively
student affair the scholars in the higher
grades felt it duty to lend what sup
port and patronage they could to the
young men.
The club was entertained in the city
by friends of the boys and Of the college
and they spent very delightful time
from their arrival until their departure.
The club went to Glenwood this morn
ing.

According to the superintendent OF

those misdirected were 22,793
The number Of letters and parcels

The damage suit Of Mr.. Mowbray
against Geo. Gould, through which
he received $4,000, calls to mind q
similar suit brought by the private
secretary of Russell Sage some years
ago, which forced Sage to pay the
clerk quite sum Of money for saw
ing his life. In both cases the men
placed themselves between their
masters and deadly danger, and
though their masters were aware Of
that fact, they positively as well as
defantly refused to provide for the
men after they had been manned
for life. Such seems to be the heart
lessnesS Of the man with the money.

Ben Grosscup, the Northern Pa
cifc politician, has declared by his
actions in the late campaign, that he
preferred Democratic governor to
a Republican one, and now that he
has his preference in the shape Of a
Populist governor, we suggest that
the incoming legislature give him a
railroad freight bill such as the
farmers of Eastern Washington
have long clamored for, and thus
make a complete job Of it for him.
1t may be Populist legislation, but
Ben Grosscup seems to like that in
preference to business legislation,
and he should have it.

To maintain a weekly paper in a
great metropolis like Seattle is al
ways an uphill business Of the most
awkward type, but to maintain one
as a "class paper" and especially
when the class it represents cuts but
little ice in the commercial affairs
of such city, is still more diff
fcult; therefore, if you are a friend
of The Seattle Republican and have
advertising to distribute, you should
remember to put its name in the pot
when you begin to make up your
advertising pie.

cost more than the running Of the

Washington's seventh legislature
should get in and do some wholesale
railroad legislation. Such is abso-
lutely necessary from Republican
partisan standpoint and essentially
necessary from a farmer financial
standpoint. Those persons who use
the railroads on which to haul Their
freight to and from their places Of
abode want more railroad legisla-
ton, and if the Republicans expect
to win again in this state, they had
better give it to them.

Seattle at present is an open Sc

A Novel Will.

One of.tns wealthlest land proprietors
near Smolensk, In Russia, died few
months ago, and after the funeral his
heirs and attorneys began to look for his
will They fancied that this task would
be merely perfunctory, and that the docu-
ment would be found among the other
family papers. but, much To their surprise
they we've unable 10 find the slightest
trace Of It, Every room and article of
furniture IN the house was than carefully
searched, but the result was the same,
aud the only conclusion at which the
heirs could arrive was either that no Will
had ever been made or that If one had
been made II was destroyed before their
klnsmau's death.
The missing document, however, was
found few days ago and in the strangest
place imaginable. A young man WAS
rambling through the house, and happen
in : To see graphophone OH table III the
library ne examined 1t TO see If it was In

put record in IL, which he supposed WAS

was his aInazement, however, when IL.
stead OF song ne heard the dead man =
voice slowly r-cite the words of the miss
ing Will.
Ihe heirs were promptly notified of this
discovery atu ,Hoy IUst no time III care
fully examining the record containing
the VIII. IL was found To be II aw less, and
aud the question then arose whether such
a Will would be deemed valid 10y the
CoIrts or not. This question is now be-
ing discussed in the supreme Court at
ST. Petersburg and the case Is Interesting
all lawyers who have heard of it, Many
think that the will will be pronounced
entirely vail {, and II 30 It may become a
common practice for persons to use
grsphophones for the purpose Of making
