Strong efforts are being made to in
duce the Iehigh Valley railroad and
the P. & II. r. company to erect n new
union station at Bethlehem. The pres
ent station, 1t Is argued, is entirely too
small for the business.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey
has under construction an extensive
system Of repair shops at Elizabeth
port, N. j., in which power will be dis
tributed from a central station. The
shops are planned to take care Of re-
pairs on 430 locomotives and maintain
the equipment of 10000 freight and
5000 passenger cars. Both the electric
and pneumatic systems Of power dis
tribution will be used. A sixty-acre
plot of ground has been obtained, and
the power house has been designed to
meet the demands of the completed
plant.

Man and a Mouse.

When Universities came thick and
fast at the door of John H. McGraw no
man in the city of Seattle lent more
fuel to the flames struggling to over
come him than did Colonel Blethen,
If he was not the whole thing of it.
McGraw went North and succeeded in
a way in recuperating his lost for
tune, and since he has returned has
gone on in business way, allowing
his enemies, politically and otherwise,
to say whatever they would or may
about him, but attending strictly to his
own business, until he is now almost
out of the woods, even from a money
ed mans standpoint, and when he
was again back in a position to do
Colonel Blethen much harm if he de-
sided, instead of administering to him
the same kind of medicine Blethen ad-
ministered to him, he seeks to have
him named for an honored position
and succeeds. Here's a contrast for
you between a man and a mouse.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The second week of the Sherley COM
pany's engagement is proving equally
as successful as the first. "A Young
Wife" was given the first three nights
of this week and was followed by
Dad S Girl commencing Thursday
night, including Saturday matinee.
Next week, commencing Sunday even
ing, the Sherley Company will inaugur-
ate the last week Of their engagement
with farce comedy, 1.-The Sultan's
Daughter" play in which Miss Sher-
ley appears as Mohammedan maiden.
The play is very funny and is present
ed with all the oriental splendor Of
the sultan's court The last half of
next week will be devoted to one of the
prettiest plays ever seen in Seattle,
For Fair Virginia" The fact that
Miss Sherley has been able to secure
this play to present at popular prices
shows a cOmmendable spirit of enter
price, as the play is known as a high
royalty one," and has never before
been seen on the coast at popular
prices. Fair Virginia" will run the
last four nights of next week, includ-
ing Saturday matinee.

Lewis Morrison.

Lewis Morrison, in addition to being
the best living Mephisto, is trained in
all the detail of stage work. His in
sistence on the absolute accuracy of
lights, scenes, music and properties is
greatly responsible for the beauty of
the new production of Faust" in
which he will appear at the Grand Sun
day and Monday nights. Several thous-
and dollars have been invested in the
new scenery, costumes and prologue.
and the Morrison eye is swift to see
and the Morrison ear is swift to hear
any active or proposed misuse of these
eHects, which are dependent on each
other to gain the necessary ensemble.

charges that would be considered mere
petty offenses in the North, and a
great many of them commit even
those petty offences under conditions
and circumstances that would not ex-
list if they lived in Massachusetts,. If
the Negro was in the North surround
ed by white Christian men and women
there would be great lessening of
crime among them, and the desire to
commit crime would not have such
stronghold on them as in the South,
where they are driven to desperation
by such cattle as Ben Tillman and jeff
Davis. If Governor Davis Of Arkansas
will make as much effort to send those
Negroes from his state that have not
committed any crime, but who are
honest and hard working people, to the
North, East and West, as he has this
ex-criminal Negro, he will confer
favor on them, and at the same time do
the whites of these sections no great
injustice, but, no, he wants them and
will fight to keep them.

No Cop Was Near.


A man fleeing madly down the street
the other day, closely pursued by an
other shouting stop! Stop" soon at
tracted crowd that would have done
circus parade proud. The fleeing
man was quickly overtaken, and then
the crowd did gather. No one was
able to learn what was the trouble, but
the escaping man was marched back
a prisoner and was soon lost from
sight by all concerned by taking refuge
In a block" At least twenty minutes
transpired while all this was going on
and not less than a thousand persons
gathered Whereabouts. The man ran
fully block before overtaken, and yet
amid all of that excitement, right in
the very heart of the city, not a single
policeman saw nor heard one thing
about it until he picked up an evening
paper. He or she who expects police
protection in Seattle had better hang
out a sign, Public Gambling Within"
or most anything may befall them.

A Senatorial Beast.

When Ben Tillman, the South Caro-
lima apology for a United States sena-
tor, made his recent TRADE against the
cOlored folk of the South by saying
that it was absolutely necessary for
the white folk to adopt the shotgun
policy in order to prevent niger dom
nancy in the South, he most basely
lied, for at no time and in no state
of the South, even under radical
rule was there anything like ap-
preaching niger dOminancy. When the
Republican party reigned supreme in
the Southern states on account of the
Negro vote, even then seventy-five per
cent. of the Republicans holding Office
in those state were white persons, and
not only white persons, but well-bred
white persons from the North, who,
since the overthrow of the Republican
party in those states, have returned
to the North and are prominent in the
affairs of the section in which they
live. There never has been, nor will
there be for years yet to come, any
danger of the Negro voters ruling or
controlling any Of the states of the
Union, even though they be given a
fair ballot and free count at the polls
and their choice be duly installed
into office. 1t must be admitted that
in some of the Southern states there
are more colored than white persons,
but there is also such a vast amount of
jealousy and rivalry between the col
Ored persons that makes it impossible
for them to agree on any one candi-
date, and when they do agree it is al
ways on a white instead of a black
candidate. If the Southern white men
would pay as much attention to the
education and development of the
young white children of that section as
they do to the preventing of Negroes
becoming prominent in the affairs Of
the country, they would rule the coun-
try good deal easier and by far less
bloodshed than they are now doing.
