Mr.. J. E. Hawkins left Wednesday
for Portland, where he is to be the
central figure in smoker to be given
in honor of Williams and Walker by
the Fraternal Order of Hawks, an
organization that claims a member
ship of 900 on this coast. Portland
may be just as big a city as it claims
to be, but when they want something
that is good they know where they
can get it.
The firm of Sewall & Hood recently
opened on Second avenue, near Union,
handling ladies' goods, millinery, no
tions, etc. This place promises to be
mecca for bargain-hunters, and the
housewife that visits this emporium
will surely profit thereby. Incidentally
it may be we'll to state that Mr.. Hood
is-a nephew Of the Hon. Judge Morrow
Of the California federal court Judge
Morrow is one of the best friends OF
the AfrO-Americans in the West.
All Davis and J. Cunningham, form.
erly of Butte, Montana, are now in the
city, and contemplate opening an cleo
trical jobbing shop, where orders fol-
all kinds of wiring and installing
switches, etc., will be promptly execut
ed. Mr.. Davis comes from Butte leav-
ing a host Of friends and acquaint.
ances, and his reputation as an cleo.
trician in the state of Montana is one
we'll here, because Seattle is a real
city,
The announcement of the coming of
Williams and Walker has made so
ciety folk among the Afro-Americans
of this city pull out their Easter gowns,
bonnets, etc., and the Grand will no
doubt do a rushing business. Several
box parties have been talked of for
the first night. This is luxury that
the local man of The Republican can
palate Williams and Walker are a
credit to the race. They are to the
Afro-American in comedy what Willie
Collier is to the Anglo-Saxon; in fact,
they represent the highest type Of
p Negro performers before the footlights
today.
The entertainment given by the
Willing Workers at Ranke Hall on the
18th was a success from a financial
standpoint. AS to it's artistic success,
well, if the last letter in the name OF
the hall was dropped it would read
Rank suggestive of the performance
given there. Just why this hall was
selected to give such show is yet
to be explained. Could they not have
exhibited their senseless gesticulations
as we'll in the church? Or do they
consider that it would be sacrilegious
to use the church for such purpose?
