DEcADENcE OF HISTORIC BOAT
Steamer Once Graced by statesmen Becomes the Feeder for Negro
 River Resort.

In the cabin of the historic old River Queen, where President Lin coin and members of his cabinet discussed in 1865, with prominent confederates, treaty of peace be- tween north and south, may now be aeard the clashing of lemonade glasses, "coon songs," ribald jest and the strains of brass band, for the historic old boat has been turned into Jim Crow'' for a down-river negro resort.
 Whether viewed as. sacrilege or the irony of fate, the same room in which President Lincoln discussed so gem erously his offering of peace to the south, including the proclamation of emancipation, and other great sub jects then about to be passed by con- gress, and which offering was so ruthlessly rejected by Jefferson Davis, and which was followed two months later by Lees surrendery to Grant, is now nightly. filled with members of the race for whom Lin- coin lost his life.
 It was found necessary by pro- motors of pleasure resorts on the Po- tomac, of which there are number1 not only to provide separate resorts for the two races, but a means of transportation as well. So the old River Queen, first in age and strong est in construction, was chosen, and is now nightly plying the river be- tween Washington and Notely Hall.
 Nothing more pleases strangers in Washington who take down-river trip by night than passing this old boat and hearing, above the puffing steam, the sweet intonation of old south songs that float over the water from the negro passengers aboard.

Colorcd Mans Song Nearly Blocks
Trnfllc In New York.
II was only a song, and an old one
at that, but 1t came near causing a
block on the Broadway cable line the
other day. The singer was as black
as the coal In the cart he was drlv-
ing, but that fact cast no shadow on
his exuberant spirits AS he swung
his chariot from Broadway into Cort-
landt street he raised his voice, says
the New York Mail and Express. Then
the trouble began. When the notes Of
"0ld Black joe rang out high and
clear above the din Of traffic express
slons Of blank amazement overspread
the faces Of the hurrylng pedestrians
who thronged the sidewalks. Necks
were craned in vain search for the
location OF some newly patented phon-
ograph Crowds collected and gazed
vacantly into the air, as II they ex-
pected to locate the sound in some Of
flce window. Teams were drawn up
until a long line Of trucks extended
into Cortlandt street to Broadway,
barring access to the street, that their
drivers might ascertain the cause OF
the crowds curiosity Suddenly n
newsboy cried; "Ah, rubber! Dontcher
see It's only de niger a-singin'?" The
crowd laughed. The darky, now lus-
tily holding forth on "The Suwaneo
River" turned sharply into Church
street, totally obliyious to the excite
ment he had caused. The crowd then
dispersed, and the long line Of wagons
began to move once more. Well"

DOUGLAS FACTORY
To Be Enlarged Before the First OF July
Will Make 0,000 Fairs Daily.

w. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity Of his factory to 5000
pairs Of shoes per day, The addition
will add $4,000 square feet Of space for
manufacturing purposes, At the same
time a new 400 horsepower engine and
an additional 150 horsepower boiler
will be installed which will afford ade-
quate power for the present and an
other addition to the factory, which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the first
of July 1t will be on an output Of 500
dozen or 5000 pairs Of shoes per day,
and the weekly pay roll, exclusive Of
Office help, superintendent, foremen,
ETC., will be $4,000 per week. The
Douglas salesmen on the road are sell
ing 25 per cent more goods than last
season. The increased sales Is the di-
rect result of good shoemaking and ex-
tensive advertising, The advertising
expenditure Of Mr.. Douglas is now
larger than at any period Of his busi-
ness, and this is to be still further in
creased. Beginning this week half
page advertisements Of the Douglas
shoe will appear in all the principal
newspapers Of the large cities, as well
as such papers as the Youths Compan-
ion.-BroCkton, Mass, Times.

gresham James Gum the position of
Superintendent of the Soldiers Home,
near Boise, and Mr.. Gum has accept
ed it. The appointment is all the
more gratifying as it came entirely un-
solicit d, indeed, the recipient refused
the offer two or three times before ac-
ce: ting it; but when he found that
there was no aspirants for the posi-
ton Which would necessarily entail
more or less of II rangle, he decided to
accept the governors offer.
He does not expect to take charge of
the Home until the last of February
or first of March. In the meantime
he will take IA trip to the coast, hoping
the sea climate will benefit his health.
He expects to return on or about the
10Th Of February to take charge OF
the Home.

An effort will be made to have a
law enacted by the present legis-
lature providing for the publica-
tion Of notices of sheriff's and con-
stables sales. Such notices are
now written and posted up in OBJ
scure places and are never, or
hardly ever, read. This is the
method of advertising adopted long
ago, before newspapers became the
medium for informing the public in
such matters. 1t is now obsolete
except in Idaho. The publication
of such. notices would be not only
in the interest Of he whose property
is to be sold, but to those who
might desire to purchase. Property
that is not properly advertised for
sale usually goes at sacrifice, and
always at much lower figure than
if the general public knew of the
sale. Fence post advertising is ex-
cusable only in the absence of
newspaper publications. An effort
will also be made to have a synop-
sis of the session laws published in
every newspaper in the state, at
fair compensation. Laws provid-
ing for such publication have been
passed by the Legislatures of nearly
every state in the Union.-Idaho
