Friends of Wilson, the unfortunate
one of the shooting escapade, who
have talked with him since he has
been taken to the hospital claim that
he says at the time he was shot he
had $64 in his pocket, but the records
at the police department show that
he had no money on his person when
registered there, but that he did have
a diamond pin and some other trinkets
in his pocket. Wilson claims that the
pin was wrapped up in the money,
and it is very strange that the other
articles were found on him and the
money was not. He is perfectly clear
as to the amount of money that he
had, and persons well acquainted with
him verify the statement that he had
a roll of money earlier in the day, and
inasmuch as he is not addicted to
gambling great many persons are
wondering what became of Wilson's
money after he had been taken to the
police headquarters.

Offices without commensurate re-
Enumeration are not always very de-
sirable, and yet when one already has
a sufficient income to keep the wolf
from the door such honors are not to
be despised. A few days ago one of
Seattle's most brilliant young men,
Deputy Attorney General C. G. Dalton,
was made judge advocate general of
the National Guards of Washington by
Governor Mcbride. While this office.
as said above, does not pay anything,
it is an honor that Mr.. Dalton highly
appreciates and one that will give him
a great deal Of political prominence
as well as preferment in this state.
Mr.. Dalton is perhaps one of Washing
tons most brilliant attorneys, and he
is certainly one of Seattles shrewdest

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SFATTLEDOM

In designating May 1 as ArbOr Day
for the city by Mayor Humes, the
most appropriate day has been select
ed. By May in Seattle it is generally
pleasant weather, and Arbor Day
should be expected to come when the
weather is pleasant. In many of the
Eastern states Arbor Day may come
at an earlier date than May 1, but
it would not be wise to set any day
earlier than this for Arbor Day on
Puget Sound for the occasion, that is
if good weather is to be considered.
Arbor Day is an outing day, and while
it is combining business with pleasure
it brings out a large number of chill
dren, and pleasant weather as far as
possible should be selected for the
occasion.

Recently in the Virginia constitution
al convention DR.. Richard McIlwaine,
president of the Hampden-Sidney Col
lege of that state, for white students
only, exploded a bomb that the del
egates at the convention were least
expecting, when he said: 'It is not
the Negro vote which is generally re-
sponsible for corruption in Virginia
politics, but it is the depraved and in
competent men of our race" And the
doctor proved by statistics that what
he said was absolutely correct, and the
following statistics which he gave to
the convention will prove of interest
to other persons who are discussing
the advisability of DISTINGUISHING the
Negroes Of the South:
White District-9 whites to / Negro;
4 literate voters to 1 illiterate; 1 fell
ony in 1900 for every los voters; 1
person sent to penitentiary for every
498 voters; criminal expense, "A cents
per voter.
Black Districts Negroes to 5
whites; 81 illiterate to 1 illiterate;
1 felony for every 26S voters; person
sent to penitentiary for every 912
voters; criminal expense, AZ cents per
voter.

Faust" as produced by the John
Griffith Company at the Third Avenue
Theatre this week is a real treat, not
only to the regular theatre patrons,
but to every one who sees the play.
No better production of this classic
drama has ever been given in Seattle
at a dollar and a half. The play will
run until Saturday night and then
make way for the Jessie Shirley Com
pany, which will open at the popular
uptown theatre at the Sunday matinee
in under Two Flags" a new dramati-
cation of Ouida's famous novel by that
name. The principal scenes are laid
in a French military camp in Algiers,
and deals with French and English
army life. Entire new scenery will
embellish the stage, and very sensa-
tional effect in which Miss Shirley as
Cigarette rides a horse from the stage
up the apparent mountain to the flies
of the theatre above. Under Two
Flags" is likely to pack the Third Ave
nue. Theatre at every performance
next week, as the play and company
are very popular
Many tickets have been sold for the
benefit for four orphaned children at
the Grand next Monday evening. The
Eagles have the matter in charge, and
will surely make it a great financial
success. The "Stbat Mater" will be
offering that evening.

Owing to climatic as we'll as indus
trial conditions the state of West Vir-
ginia is rapidly becoming the Mecca
for the Negroes of the South. No
state in the Union has more we'll de-
veloped coal mining industries in
operation than West Virginia, which
are to be found in every county in the
state. To reach these mines and to
accommodate them with proper rail
road facilities a great deal of railroad
construction is being carried on, and
these combined industries have given
employment to thousands of colOred
men in that state. 1t is estimated
that over $1,000 colored men are en-
ployed in West Virginia in the mines
alone and perhaps half as many more
on roalroad construction. Of course
this puts great deal of money in cir
culation among the colored folk and
business in every town of any size
operated by colored men are springing
up and doing well.

Next Wednesday night E. S. Willard
begins his four nights engagement at
the Grand with a presentation of "The
Cardinal"
The story of the drama is that Cardi-
nal Giovanni de Medici, who after
ward became Pope Leo x, hears the
confession of an outlaw, who had MUIR
dered an old man. The victim was the
father Of the young woman with whom
the outlaw is in love, but who is be-
trothed to the Cardinals brother. Cir
cumstantial evidence points to the lat
ter as the murderer. Bound by the
sanctity of the confession, the Car
dinal cannot, even to save the life of
his brother, who has been condemned
to death, give up the guilty to Justice.
He appeals to the wretch, who has
grown into favor with Pope julius,
and who believes he could obtain a
pardon even if he confessed his guilt.
This he promises to do if the young
woman will forsake her betrothed and
marry him. This the Cardinal abso-
iutely refuses to sanction, even though
the price be his brothers life and free
DOM Finally, the Cardinal feigns
madness, and by craft beguiles the
outlaw into re-telling the story of the
crime in the presence of a concealed
witness. A charming thread of very
pretty love story runs through the
drama, which is a model of construc-
ton and dialogue throughout.

The familiar face of the old pioneer
Dexter Horton is again on our streets,
and from the number of "hellOs" and
''how-dO-you-do" and back again" and
the like which he is hailed with while
he is out on the streets would make
one think that Dexter Horton is one
of the most popular men in the city,
and in this one would not be very
much mistaken. Mr.. Horton is not
popular in the sense of the word that
he is ''one of the boys" "a boon COM
panion" or political "wire-puller," but
he is popular because he is Dexter
Horton seven days in week and every
day in the year. He attends strictly
to Dexter Horizons business and lets
the other fellows alone. He is jovial
and has a pleasant word for all, re-
CARELESS of their color or nationality,
and for that reason he is generally
liked throughout the city Then,
again, he is an old pioneer landmark
He came to the city in early days, Sc
cured property, which he has held on
to and which has made him immense
ly wealthy, but notwithstanding that
he is still Dexter Horton, and after
all it is such men as him that the
world admires and appreciates. The
man who is the same whether groaning
under Universities or smiling in mines
of wealth is always the man of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie. Mr.. Horton has been absent from
the city since last September, and dur
ing that time he has seen the most
of the United States and a good deal
of Mexico. In other words, he went
East to enjoy himself and he did so.
Mrs. Horton accompanied him in his
travels.

A good old periodical religious shake
up is absolutely necessary for any
Christian church, and laboring under
that belief the pastor of the A. NJ E.
church, on Fourteenth avenue, Rev.
M. Scott, has been conducting series
of revival meetings for the past week
or more, and is having much success
IN the same. He has been assisted
during the past week by Rev. Freeman
OF Roslyn, who by the way, is one of
the most successful evangelists on the
Pacific coast; and they report excel
lent meetings at every service during
the week. Rev. Scott has just return
ed from the district conference at
Roslyn, and he prOnOunces it the most
successful conference that has ever
been held in the state since he has
been here. It was well attended, and
those taking part acquitted themselves
most excellently. The Roslyn people
entertained the conference in a royal
manner, and nothing but praises from
everyone visiting the camp has been
heard concerning the treatment that
was accorded them while there. Rev.
Freeman has been on the coast for
some years and has successfully edit
ed newspapers both in California and
in Oregon, and likewise held many
important charges in the A NJ E.
church

same as if he had money by the bushel

not true of the Caucasian race, for
while he may enjoy a fragrant Ha-

Of smoking while either at work or
attending to street business. When
doing business his cigar is in his
pocket, but when he gets an oppor-
tunity to sit quietly down after his
meals he smokes and enjoys it, while,
as said above, the cOlored man smokes
almost necessarily. Is it characteristic
Of the Negro to go to extremes in what
he does?
For any class of people to smoke
necessarily is all right, providing they
are able to maintain it, but no class
of people in the United States can so
i'll afford constant cigar smoking as
the colored folk If he spends his
money in cigars and other unnecessary
luXuries his real comfort and neces-
stiles will suffer therefrom 1t is
Ored race is as weak financially as it
is. The cOlOred man generally buys
whatever he wants, especially as to the
inner man, and this explains why he
owns less property and fewer business
houses than any other distinct race
of people in the world. There is no
doubt but that the colored folk of
this country have thrown away enough
money for tobacco to buy land enough
to give them all their long-talked-of
forty acres and mule"
From Eastern papers it is learned
that the war department contemplates
transferring Captain John R. Lynch,
the only Negro paymaster in the Unit
ed States army, from Cuba to the Mis-
souri, district, with headquarters at
Omaha. This transfer if carried out
will be watched with interest, owing
to the fact that when Captain Lynch
was first made paymaster in the army
and sent to Georgia to pay off the
troops they refused to accept their
pay because it was to come from a
Negro. However, they subsequently
did take their money and did not find
any black on it, either Whether the
soldiers in the Missouri district will
act as those in the Georgia district
remains to be seen, and this is why
the transfer of Captain Lynch will be
carefully watched.
