Christmas in the city, the guest OF
the S. c. P. Club.
VIII Turner, OF Tacoma, came over
from the City of Destiny" to enjoy a
little real life" in Seattle this week
Seattle is enjoying a most excellent
Christmas season. Her citizens hava
the money and they are spending it.
Mrs. J. H. Ryan, of Spokane, spent
the Holidays in the city. While here
she was a guest at the Autocrat, 161S
Cherry.
The Christmas tree exercises at
the A NJ E. Church on Tuesday night
were a grand success. The time-worn
practice OF "disrobing the tree" was
carried out to the satisfaction OF those
who were fortunate enough to be re-
membered by their friends.
A Quid Nunc Club has been or
ganized with Mrs. George H. Crosse as
president, Mr. F. N. Harris, secretary;
Mrs. John T. Clayton, treasurer, and
Mr.. B. F. Tut, censor. Their first
entertainment, for the members only,
will be given New Years night at
the residence of Mrs. Crosse.
The public installation exercises,
held at G. A. R. Hall Tuesday night
by the F. & A NJ, were conducted
with all the solemnity characteristic
of such an order. After the mysteri-
Gus performance was concluded a
merry time was had by all, and the
F. & A MS were voted a success as
entertainers.
The male members of the Slayton
Jubilee Singers were registered at
the S. c. P Club this week. 1t is
hoped when this company of capable
cOIored artists return to this city that
they be given the rousing reception
that they deserve. They are no doubt
the best entertainers that have visited
this city for many moons.
The Seattle Republican has re-
peatedly announced in it's columns
that J. H. Ryan has supervision OF

Miss Halle Gray, the accomplished
young daughter of Hon. W. R. Gray
OF this city, is spending the Christmas
Holidays at home with her parents
She is attending ladies' seminary
at Portland, where Miss Emma Hous.
ton Clayton is also a pupil, and re.
ports that young Miss as getting along
most charmingly and as a general ia
vo.ite with both teachers and pupils
Miss Halle returns early in January.
Mr.. Noble P. Howe, VINO is well
known in theatrical circles in this
city, owing to the fact that he stood
in the box Office at the Seattle Thea
tire for two years, died at the Provi-
dence Hospital last Monday evening.
His remains were inferred in the
Lake View Cemetery Tuesday after
noon, and they were followed to their
last resting place by host of friends
1t was source of regret to learn
that the F. e A. M. exercises and the
Christmas tree exercises at the A. NJ
e. Church were pulled off on the same
date. 1t seems that the powers that
be- or who ever controls the destines
of these respective organizations
should look to avoid such a clash.
Neither organization is so strong that
it can spare any assistance that they
would derive from different arrange
ment than that of Tuesday night.
Major S. r. Nettleton, the Kirkland
retired millionaire, spent Christmas
eve. in Seattle, distributing fond re
membranes to the needy, as well as
to friends, as is his annual custom.
The Board of Education has de-
cided to open a night schVool on the
top floor Of the Central School build
ing for all persons who are unable to
attend the day school, and the same
will begin Monday evening, January
9Th. Superintendent Cooper and two
of his most efficient teachers will be
on hand to conduct the school and to
arrange for the course of study dur
ing the session.
The pastor and members of the A.
M. E. Church, through the columns of
The Seattle Republican, express their
heartfelt thanks to Mr. John F. Crag-
well for the presenting of a Santa
Claus well laden with beautiful pres
ents for all of the children belonging
TO the Sunday School of that church.
Each child was remembered by the

for the grand entertainment for mis-
benefit, gotten up solely by Mr.. Crag-
well Christmas night, the net proceed

public among the Afro-Americans are
likewise under many obligations to
Mr.. Cragwell for his untiring efforts

efforts that the Hotel Seattle will put
