In honor of Mrs. Walter Washing
tons birthday a number of her friends
and acquaintance made up a surprise
party last Monday evening and took
possession of her home, and a most
enjoyable occasion at their most excel
lent home was the result. The Wash
ington family is one of Seattle's lead
ing Afro-American families, who own
nice home, and the same is exquisite
ly furnished. Mrs. Washington re-
ceived many valuable presents from
those attending, all of which she ap-
preciates to the utmost
Washington Lodge, A. F. and A. M,
40, organized few months ago among
the Afro-Americans of this city, has a
membership of thirty-five and is in a
most excellent condition in every re-
spect. Only last week seven new mem
berS were made, and for it's next regu-
lar meeting already there are more ap-
plicants to be made. Mr. J. P. Ball,
ST., of the Helena lodge, was visitor
at the last meeting.
The A. M. E. church celebrated
Easter in quite elaborate style. and the
day was huge success throughout, as
there were five appreciative audiences
out during the day. In the evening the
church was crowded to it's utmost ca
pacity to listen to the Easter exercises
by the children, which was rendered to
the delight of all, and the audience
could hardly repress applauding,
though having been requested to re-
train from it out of respect for the
Sabbath. The total funds raised dur
ing the day for missionary purposes
amounted to $35.06. Special mention
is due Mrs. Walter Washington and
Mr.. Charles H. Harvey for the great
success of the programme and decora-
tons, and also the choir, whose de-
llghtful music was a special feature Of
the programme. The first prize for the
little girl with the most money in her
Easter box was won by little Marion
Washington. The addresses of both
Mr.. Hall and Rev. Taylor were timely
and full of thought for reflection. The
parents of each of the little ones who
took part have especial reasons to be
proud of the part they played in the
programme.

THE FOREIGN POLICY.

Secretary OF State Hay, In q speech
at the annual banquet OF the New
York Chamber OF Com merce last night
defined the foreign policy ofthe United
States saying that the Monroe doctrine
and the golden rule are the basis of it.
Mr. hay said;
"The briefest expression OF our rule
OF conduct is, perhaps, the Monroe
doctrine and the golden rule. With
this simple chart we can hardly go far
wrong. think that / may say that
our sister republics 20 the south OF US
are perfectly convinced OF the sincerity
of our attitude. We no more want
their territory than we covet the
Mountains OF the Moon. We have
striyen, on the lines laid down by
Washington, to cultivate friendly re-
lations with all powers, but not to take
part 10 the formation of groups orcom-
binations among them. We have kept
always 10 view the fact that we are
pre.eminently a peace.lovlDg people;
that our normal activities are In the
direction OF trade and commerce. We
believe that fair field and no favor is
all we require. We consider our in
terests in the Pacific ocean as great
now as those OF any other power and
destined to indefinite development.
Next 10 order will come Pacific cable
and an Isthmisn canal. The President,
to whom you have given your invslus.
BILE trust and confidence, like his now
immortal predecessor. is as inospsbl
of bullying a strong power as he IL Of
wroD9ing q weak one."
