Not only have the old-line Populists
decided to put straight ticket in the
field for the coming municipal cleo
ton, but they have decided to hold
their convention February 18th and
have practically decided to nominate
Joseph Winship, among the first foun-
ders of Populism in this city, for May
or. The final decision on the part of
the Populists to put straight ticket
in the field prompted S. c. Calder
head, A. r. Jones, Clark Davis, George
F. Cotterill, Harry B. Drees, G. N.
Hodgdon, G. j. Mcfarland and Swan
Lewis, all formerly prominent mem
bers of the Populist party and mem
bers of the Populist City Central Com
mittee, to tender their designations to
the committee and announce their in
tention to in future affiliate with the
Democratic party. Their places were
promptly filed and Judge Richard
Winsor, who has stood at the helm of
the Populist craft in this city for 10,
these many years, was again put in
charge of it's affairs, and he will di-
rect the fight for Mayor at the next
election. The actions of the commit
tee has not pleased the Democratic
party little bit, and the Democratic
organ has had it's usual spasmodic fit
because the Pops cannot be whipped
into line by it's henchmen.

Business is rather dull" said
police court lawyer one day this week,
"and cannot account for it." contin-
ued he. If that young attorney had
been as well acquainted with the wide
open policy as many of the older at
torneys in this city, he would have
readily understood why business was
DULL around police court at present.
The present city administration has
ben conducting a wide-open policy,
which has naturally drawn to the city
a large number of hobos and desper-
ate characters, who have to be more
or less periodically chastised by the
strong arm of the law, but notwith-
standing that they are chastised, they
are expected to vote and support the
wide-open administration, which they
will do; and when it comes time for
the wide-open administration to be in
dorsed at the polls, then the strong
arm of the law does not feel called
upon to chastise it's unruly children.
1t is but a few weeks before the elec-
ton, and for that reason business is
dull, because the administration does
not intend to have it's supporters
brought into court and charged with
either peace disturbing or with any
thing else, which the law would ad-
minister punishment for. This, my
dear young attorney, is the reason
why business is dull at the police court
at this season of the year.

If working for a ward from which
a councilman is elected counts for
anything as to the success of mem
Der of the city council, then Council
man James A. James, of the Fourth
ward, is the greatest success Of any
councilman from ward standpoint
ever elected in the city Of Seattle. 1t
can be said without fear Of successful
contradiction that no ward in the city
has Jared so well at the hands Of the
city council as the Fourth ward dur
ing the time that Mr. James has rep
resented it in the city council. Street
improvements, sidewalks and street
crossing building, electric lights, and
in short, everything that go to the
betterment Of the general condition
and appearance of a ward has been
carefully looked after and guarded
by Mr.. James, even if it has been
sometimes done to the detriment of
other wards. No one that has noticed
the street improvements that have
been going on from time to time in
the Fourth ward will deny the fact
that Mr.. James has been exceeding
ly successfully in inducing the city
council to make liberal appropriations
for the Fourth ward, which ward has
repeatedly elected him to the city
council, simply because he has faith
fully watched after it's interests. 1t
can be also said of Mr.. James that
he has not only watched after the
interests of the Fourth ward since he
has been a member of the city coun-
Gil, but he has carefully looked after
the interests of the city in general
in more ways than could here be
enumerated, and the business men as
well as the property owners Of Sc

that he has done from time to time
as a member Of the council. He

practically shut out from the conven-

APPEAL TO UNION VETERANS.
Gen. Dyrenforth Urges Unity OF Ac-
tion to Secure Old Soldiers

Washington, Oct. 27.-In General
Orders No. 1, Gen. Robert st. George

an appeal to union veterans of the
civil war to organize into a brother.
hood for mutual protection. He says
that eligibility to membership in thi

good record.
He says the defenders of the Union
should be a factor in the present day.
"By taking an active interest in the
affairs of the present." says Cen

mand recognition as an American
portance of according to him reward
for his incomparably great services to
III beloved country" The assertion
is made that there is now a vocif.

pensions shall be cut off, and in this
connection Gen. Dyrenforth sets out
the necessity of organization, saying:

irrespective of mere partisan politics.

WOMAN'S SOCIAL POWER.
When Exercised in the Right Direc-
tiOn 1t Affects the Welfare of an
Entire Community.

The power and influence that woman
possesses socially is something for
which she should be grateful and use
to the best advantage. To some taste
ful woman with a truly social spirit
may be given the credit of making
man a community what it is. Passing
a massive city church, thronged with
worshipers, and noted for being ex-
ceedingly social in spirit, Rev. William
]. Peck, in writing for the Ledger
Monthly, recalls the fact that the
building is accredited to a socially in
clined, cultured pastors wife, who had
the gracious gift of kindness. She
had a winning way, and noticed that a
great many strangers came to the
church never to return. She made
ND her mind that she would make them
feel at home. She took her position at
the close of service near the door and
greeted the strangers with a cordial
handclasp and explained she was the
pastor's wife and that he would gladly
call on them if they would leave their
addresses. She had a charming per-
sonality, and followed successfully
this plan till the old church, which was
| almost dead, became filled with a
| strong social and spiritual power, and
people recognized it as a social "hand.
shaking church." and soon this mag.
nifcent edifce, built from the con.
tagion of an irresistible ecclesiastical
handshake, stood as a monument OF
| humanity at it's best.

women in China and one native pastor
in Africa.
She does not forget home institu-
tions and causes, as the Cunningham
deaconess' home and orphanage and
other beneficiaries car testify. 1t is
a constant wonder how much work
Mss johnson does. She attends to all
her correspondence, not infrequently
receiving a hundred letters a week, and
whether they be letters of inquiry or
remittances of money she allows no
letter to go acknowledged, and at
tends to this herself personally.
How does she secure the money to
carry on her mission work? BY the
sale of silk bookmarks, which she
makes, and on which she has printed
choice selections of Scripture, gems
from favorite poets, birthday notes,
etc. These marks she mails to any
Christian workers who will superin-
tend the sale of them. She receives or
ders from individuals, Sunday schools,
leagues, woman's foreign missionary
societies and other organizations.
This consecrated soul and the work
she is doing are worthy of publicity,
both for the good accomplished in the
mission fields and the inspiration it
gives to other workers. None can en-
ter her room and hear her CHEEKY
words, see her illumined face, but to
go away with new inspiration and
courage to help in the worlds work.
Her father is a retired business man
of Casey; he and his entire family of
wife and five children reside in the city,
and are held in high esteem by all those
who know them best. To some of her
pastor teachers she pays $1OO per an.

INVALID'S GREAT WORK.
by Her own Exertions suffering ILL.,
nois Girl supports Ten Mission
AIRY Workers.

1t has been said hat suffering often
liberates and reveals the forces of the
soul. A phenomenal instance of this is
found in the little city of Casey, ILL.,, in
the person and life of Miss Lizzie L.
Johnson. Her struggle for Is years
with mortal disease is something more
than impressive.
At about 10 years of age severe ILL
ness came upon her which developed
into a permanent affection of spinal
character extending to all the nerve
centers. For is years she has been laid
on her back wholly unable to leave her
bed. She has the free use of her arms
and head, alsS some use of the limbs,
but her body is confined to one posi-
ton.
Those who have known her from her
childhood, especially from the begin
ming Of her affection, find it difficult to
realize the magnitude of the work she
is now doing and has been doing for a
number of years. They feel that they
have never seen suffering and weari-
ness and the m%onotony of lying in one
position continuously so entirely over
come and treated as if they were not.
The nature of her affection renders
her at times intensely sensitive to the
slightest noise or the presence of per-
sons in her room, OF any touch OF her
bed. This painful a%cuteness is not
constant; there are times of compare
tive rest from this, though at all times
the sense of touch is abnormally de-
veloped.
She has a magnetic personality, a
fine, receptive mind, large originality
and a beautiful Christian spirit. Not
a word of complaint or touch of re-
~belliousness escapes her lips. The
theme that lies nearest her heart is
Christian missions, and in this field she
is doing a great work. She began in
1894 on $50 borrowed capital. Up to
date the gross receipts aggregate ST.
600. She supports in India five pastor
teachers, besides,two Bible women.
She provides the money to support
three scholarships for three young
men in Chinzei seminary, Nagasaki,

FIRST CHAPTER OF GENESIS.
DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, of Chicago, De.
clares His Disbelief in the First
Chapter of the Bible.

Chicago, Oct. 26.-At the Temple OF
Israel, DR.. Emil G. Hirsch declared
his absolute disbelief in the first
chapter of Genesis, and had his con.
gregation discard it as an article of
faith.
Religion, biology and astronomy, he
declared, have each given evidence
that make it impossible to believe
that the world was created in six
days. 1t is impossible, also, to give
serious consideration to the efforts
that have been made to reconcile sci.
ence and religion.
"All nations" said DR.. Hirsch,
have their idea Of creation of the
world, and in every case the creation
has been ascribed to their favorite
gods. The world has gradually
progressed from polytheistic to
m~onothestic ideas, and there is no
doubt that the first chapter of Gene
sis is simply a relation by some Jew
lsh writer of the stories told by the
Babylonians, which the Jews had car.
ried from their captivity in Babylon
