"Kelly's Kids,

The Kids of Mr.. Kelly kept their
weather eye peeled for the funny
things that happened about them,
and when they got their mental
storehouse full of them they put
them into a play, weaving a story
both interesting and excruciatingly
funny, and adapted to their char
acters, a type Of persons prominent
in every town, and whose peculiar
tiles will be easily recognized by ev-
cry person who sees the play. If
You will stop and think for a mo-
ment you can imagine who the Kelly
Kids of your city are. And you can,
knowing their peculiar traits Of char
acter, easily see what an experienced
writer such as r. F. Outcault, of the
New York World, would make of
them in rip-roaring musical farce
comedy. Even the momentary con-
temptations of such a thing will
cause a smile, and from the success
of the play in the principal cities
of the country, the laughter-provok-
ing qualities of the farce must GER
tainly exceed the Imagination Of the
ordinary man. For the interpreta-
ton of this play the company en-
gagged and which will appear at the
Grand Opera. House tomorrow after
noon, is one Of the best organizations
OF musical farceurs, and includes
a number of the best known come
dians, singers and dancers before the

public. An excellent evenings fun
is certainly to be looked forward to
when ''Kelly's Kids visit us.
THIRD AVENUE THEATER.

''The Hottest Coon in Dixie"
which comes to the Third Avenue
theater next Sunday night, is the
leading cOlored attraction of this
country, both in the number and
prominence Of its members. Won
derful progress has been made in
the caliber and popularity of exclu-
siye colored shows during the past
five years, until they now take rank
with our leading amusement attrac-
tiOns, and the doors of many of the
leading theaters of the big Eastern
cities are being opened to them, and
a marvellous business in most in
stances has been the result. In its
costumlng, musical selections, COM
edy, etc, this newest bidder for pub
lie favor will compare favorably
with any of the pretentious white
face comedy organizations on the
road, having fully double the num-
Der of people, and the singing, at
least, far surprising anything out
side of the big operate companies.
The famous 'Clorindy" chorus Of
sixteen singers, now with the "Hot-
test Coon in Dixie" was for sixteen
consecutive weeks the rage at the
New York Casino Roof Garden.
They were also seen for eight con-
secutive weeks in Chicago, and have
appeared in all of the principal cities
of the country between New York
and San Francisco.

Echoes of 1864.

Although Mr.. Bryan has aban-
doncd anti-imperiaism as a "para-
mount" issue, scores of Democratic
declaimers still go about the country
denouncing the "despotism" of Nc
kinley in the Philippines.

inveigh against the tyranny" at
Washington. They describe luridly
how dire are the consequences with
which Mckinley threatens our re-

subject of cancer. Every registered
physician has received a paper ask
ing questions relative to experience
in cancer cases. An attempt is be-
ing made to find out if cancer is
hereditary, if it is contagious, and
whether it is connected with any par
ticular habit, such as overindulgence
IN alcohol, tobacco, ETC., and whether
its is more prevalent in one district
than another.
Probably there is nothing Of
which our churches stand so much
in need of as pastors who are noted
for their piety and scholarly attain
ments. We regard this to be so true
that we are prepared to prove that
much of the lethargy and indiffer-
ence of our churches is the direct
outcome of the lack of these essen
tial qualifications. The people of a
church hardly ever rise higher in the
scale of being than the character of
their leaders and the instruction
which they receive. This fact ac-
counts for low scale of morals and
the character of worship of many Of
our church members. We account
for it on this score because we know
that there is much Ignorance, super
stltion and moral corruption in the
ministry. We are thankful to be able
to say that this is by no means uni
formally true. We have some as
good, bright and intelligent men in
the ministry as ever honored and
magnified any calling Our wish is
that this number may be materially
increased.

Cincinnati Enquirer announced:
Lincoln has destroyed the Union
and subverted our republican form
of government. On November 3,
1864, the Ohio Statesman, another
copperhead organ, declared: "Un-
der the administration Of Abraham
Lincoln the American government
has lost most Of the features which
distinguished it from the despotisms
of the old world"
The Bryanite declaimers constant
ly arraign the Republican party for
ITS disregard Of the Declaration of
independence and contempt for the
consent of the governed. In the
same tone the Cincinnati Enquirer
said on July +, 1864: "How many
fine and glowing periods have we
rounded off in favor Of the doctrine
of the Declaration Of independence
that all just governments derive
their power from the consent of the
governed, and yet we are employing
millions Of men and billions of treas
ure IN the most sanguinary war of
modern times, to force a government
upon an unwilling people"
As against Lincoln, Vallandig-
ham was repudiated in his own state
by the largest majority ever cast
against man in Ohio. As against
Lincoln in 1864 Mcclellan, repre-
senting the copperhead Democracy
received only twenty-one electoral
votes out of a total of 233. The re-
suit was so decisive that copperhead-
ism was kept in the background by
the Democratic leaders until it made
it's appearance in 1900 under the

than a glance at the copperhead
press Of thirty-six years ago is need
ed to prove this.
For instance, on October 10, 1864.
the Cincinnati Enquirer, then as now
the organ Of the copperhead Democ-
racy, said: "Our government can
not endure another four years reign
of Abraham Lincoln" On October
5 the same journal, under the head
of ''The Two Imperialists-Na-
poleon and Lincoln" said: E'There
will be the most cordial relations be-
tween France and the United States
should Lincoln be reelected. The
swo imperialists will harmonic ad-
mirably."
The Niles Republican at about the
same time predicted: 'EIf Abraham
Lincoln is reelected president the
liberties Of the people are gone for
ever" The Cleveland Plain Dealer
joined the Democratic chorus with
this: ''If Lincoln is reelected we
will never again have peace or union
in this land" The New York
World Of October 27 said: "Presi-
dent Lincoln has shown that moth.
ing would restrain him from any fur
ther desperate and lawless acts nee
essary to perpetuate his hold OF
power"
On September 13, 1864, the In
dianapolis Sentinel, organ of the In
diana copperheads, said: '"The elec
ton of Lincoln means war, anarchy
and disunion. These are the issue,
involved in the election of October

From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
To the People Of the United
States, Greeting:
-Four years ago
You demanded work for your idle
sons.
You got it. You never had so
many people employed as now.
You wanted your idle capital to
be employed.
You got it.
You wanted to see the army Of
tramps mustered out.
They are gone.
You wanted your soup houses
closed.
They are closed
You wanted to get rid of the re-
ceivers Of your railways and banks.
They are gone.
You wanted to see the smoke com
ing from the stacks Of your smelters,
mills and factories.
1t came. Many have since been
kicking about the smoke nuisance.
You wanted the savings bank de-
posts to increase.
Never so large in your history as
at present.
You wanted to see interest rates
decrease that your people could bor-
row more cheaply wherewith to de-
velop your resources.
You got it. Interest has never
been so low as now.
You demanded more money. The
circulation must be increased per
capita.
You got it. 1t has increased with
marvellous rapidity for four years.
You demanded that one dollar be
just as good as another.
You got it. That is the kind we
have now, and you can get all the
silver or paper you want at any bank.
You demanded the markets of the
world for your surplus products and
goods.
You got it. Got it so suddenly
it almost dazzled you.
You wanted lis to stop borrowing
money in Europe
We stopped it, and Europe is now
borrowing money from us.
You wanted the government to
collect every dollar Of the Pacific
railroad debt, instead of a POR-
TION, as Mr. Cleveland proposed
Mr.. Mckinley made them pay ev-
cry cent, principal and interest.
You wanted Cuba liberated.
It is done
You wanted the rights of our peo-
pie maintained at home and abroad.
1t has been done.
What you really wanted the worst
was what Mr.. Mckinley promised:
GAN HONEST DOLLAR AND
A CHANG F TO EARN IT"
You got both. Not from the
Bryanites. but it was none the less
acceptable to the man behind the
dinner bucket.
If you want more things of this
sort you can get them from the
same source. Yours devotedly,

THE SEATTLE SPIRIT
SPEAKS AND SPARKLES

In a head-end collision which hap
pened on the Rainier Beach railway
last Tuesday morning, in which
fourteen persons were injured, some
very seriously, there were three col
ored men, viz, Frank Abrahams,
Watchman on the Lake Washington
ferryboat; Thomas Chambers, a car
penter, and Milton Roy, bootblack
on Second avenue. The first two
men were injured worse than any
one else on the car, while the latter
was but slightly injured. One Of
the mOtOrmen was also quite badly
hurt. On the car were also a num-
Der of city officials, who were going
out to inspect the Cedar river water
system, and each Of them were more
or less injured, but none seriously.
The cause Of the accident, it seems,
was the violation of instructions on
the part of the men operating the
freight car, who clearly violated in
structiOns and took the lives of
themselves and the passengers into
their own hands. A heavy fog pre-
vailed that morning, and it was diff
cult to see more than hundred feet
away, and the two cars were prac-
tically on each other before the one
saw the other. There will doubtless
be number of damage suits filed by
those injured, and, owing to the
financial weakness of the road, if the
suits succeed, it will come pretty
nearly bankrupting the company.
Gold from Alaska continues to
pour into the money vaults of Seat
tie despite the lateness Of the sea-
son. There are still quite num-
Der Of boats due from Cape Nome
before the winter sets in, and each
of them will bring more or less gold,
and when they all shall have arrived
and turned their precious loads of
gold into the assay office Of Seattle
it will prove to be the most
lucrative as well as active assay Of
flee in the whole United States.
During the coming year it is
thought by persons who know
whereof they speak that more cold
will come to Seattle from Alaska
than ever before, and perhaps in all
the previous years. Nome, which
will prove as rich a gold-producing
camp as has Dawson City, will be-
gin to send out loads of the precious
metals by the first boats next year,
and that added to the Dawson City
product, will make Seattle perfect
mint Of gold. In anticipation Of
this and the reelection of William
Mckinley, who viii open up the
trade of the Orient to this country,
of which Seattle will get the lions
share, business men are looking for
ward to having the most prosperous
year in the history of the Queen City
of the Northwest.
The registration books were closed
last Tuesday night, and summing
up of the registered voters shows a
total of 16,787, liking but 213 votes
of reaching the 10000 mark, as was
predicted by the Republican last
week. By wards the vote is as fol-

1t is very doubtful if any city in
the United States is showing the
same amount of internal growth as
is Seattle at present. Persons desir-
ing to become a fixture in this city
and get in on the ground floor had
better try to find themselves busi-
ness locations now or they will not
be able to do so in a few months
more. Within the past four years
Seattle has almost doubled in popu-
lation, and it looks as though the
ame will be true Of it within the
coming four years. The streets of
this city are thronged with vieing
humanity eighteen hours per day
and business houses are rushed al
most to death with business activity.
On last Thursday evening, Octo-
Der IL, 1900, few Of the pleasure
seekers Of the Afro-American Soci-
Tety of Seattle met to organize a
whist club" which will hereafter
be known as the "Clover Leaf Club >
At $50 o'clock the meeting was call
ed to order by the president. After
having listened to some very pleas
ing remarks from him they proceed
ed to the games, which lasted until
1890. Dainties were then served,
which were no less enjoyed than the
games. The club was entertained
at the home of Mrs. B. F. Tut, and
in thanks for her most generous
hospitality permit the writer to say,
for the entire clnb, if it is as grandiy
entertained at other places there
will be no doubt Of the Glover Leaf

The Baptist missionaries sent to
this city from the East to look after
the spiritual welfare Of the Afro
Americans in the community seem
to soon forget their calling and drift
off into politics, Democratical at
that. Democratic politics of course
pays better than preaching, but
there certainly cannot be much re-

will quit preaching and go to doing
slum politics.

MONEY FOR
THIS PORT.
Honolulu Naval Station
Improvements.
COMMANDER POND TALKS.
A Workshop, Smithery, Foundry,
Houses and Other Things
For Department.

~ OMMANDER POND, of the Homo
lulu naval station, received by
the last mail from the Coast cop
les of the estimates for the appropria-
lions for the Navy Department for the
year of 1901-1902.
Hawaii has her little say in these
estimates, and if Congress passes the
various items the naval station at this
port will assume business-like proper
tions.
When Uncle Sam once starts work on
a naval station there is no telling when
he will stop. Already Honolulu boasts
a large naval reservation, several large
navy docks, completed and under proc
ess of construction, and many of the
necessary facilities for receiving YES
sells of the navy on their arrival in
this port
| Commander Pond informed an Ad-
vertiser reporter concerning the esti-
mates for the appropriations for the
Honolulu naval station. First Of all,
| it will doubtless be remembered that
$4,000 was appropriated by Congress
last year for the bureau of steam en-
! gineering for the Honolulu naval sta
ton. This money has not yet been
touched, and no instructions have been
received concerning it.
| According to the estimates of the
Navy Department, the new appropria-
lions, if passed, will allow for the Ho-
nolulu naval station, total of $107.-
| 300. This amount will be divided as
follows: $4,000, for a workshop for
steam engineering; $4,000 for a smith
cry and foundry; SIS, 900 for the COM
mandant's house and stables; SO, 900 for
the extension of the present office
building; $500 for the erection of a
cottage for the watchman; $4,000 for
grading and fencing; $500 for a ten-ton
wharf crane, and $1,000 for a water-ppe
system.
If the, appropriations are passed by
Congress it win mean a great deal to
Honolulu. Many men will be employ
ed, and the city's waterfront will take
upon itself additional boom and profit,
Il both materially and artistically, by the
anticipated Improvements
With the new workshop the smith
lery and the foundry, it will be possible
to make repairs on navy vessels visit
ing this port; make alterations and do
most anything that would be likely to
be required.
The Government does not worry
very much about the future" said
Commander Pond yesterday, "the Ho-
nolulu naval station needs certain
things. and those things will undoubt.
ledly be forthcoming. 1t might happen
not very far in the future, that Pear
Harbor would be improved, and that
the naval station would be removed
from its present site to Pearl Harbor
This possibility does not affect present
action, and the station here, in Ho-
lnolulu, will be as well equipped and as
perfect in every particular as the navy
requires

THE MYSTERY IS
STILL WE'D
Corpse Found in Nuuanu Val
le, Not Identified in
Any Way.

Ihere is mystery surrounding the
death of the man whose skeleton was
round in Nuuanu valley on Tuesday.
Inc coroner's jury held it's inquest yes
terday, heard medical testimony and
was unable to come to any definite con-
clusion as to the mans nationality. his
age, or manner of DEATH
Some of the jurors inclined to the be-
lief that the skeleton was that of
Chinese because the hair was some
what long and braid such as Chinese
use for their queues was found in one
of his pockets. Some thought he was
a japanese on account of the elastic
side shoes worn and the finding of a
rubber sleeve-holder such as japanese
commonly use. That he was a white
man was discredited by Dr. Emerson
on account of the prominence of the
cheek bones. The native hat found
with pugaree wound round it also in
clined some to believe him a Japanese
as the Chinese rarely use a pugaree
for hat decoration.
There is a question in the minds of
the jurors as to the length of time
which the man has been dead. Mr..
Moore. keeper of the Government res
ervoirs, was in the clump of bushes
where the body was found not six
months since trimming trees and three
months ago was there planting young
trees. This explodes the plague death
theory
| Mr.. Moore says he never knew of a
bad odor coming from the place. He
believes that the death of the man oc-
Cured not long ago and that mon
gooses. rats, ants and mice have done
much In stripping the bones of flesh.
The bones were clean of flesh. but the
clothing Of the man was not in the
least disturbed.
DR.. Emerson testified to what had
come under his observation in looking
lover the bones and clothing. He had
found nothing in the pockets but a
string for use upon a Chinese queue OF
wrapping around the pantaloons at the
waist. The man was of medium height
No evidences of foul play were found
The hair upon measurement was found
Ito be only about three inches in length
Instead of twelve or fourteen as at frs,
suggested. This was due to the fac
THAT the hair was matted.

cordance with the above facts
