THE
Richardson Market,
ELLIOT STREET.
ABBOTT & ACKERMAN, Props.

While the Richardson Market
has passed into new hands, our
main object will be to maintain
the high standard which this
market has rightfully enjoyed for
so many years. To do this we
shall at all times have in stock
the best quality of goods on the
market at prices as low as con-
sistent with the times, and by
strict attention to business and
fair dealing with all, we hope to
retain the same confidence of our
patrons as our predecessors have
so long enjoyed.

Dirty Niger Barber.

A Well-knoWn Afro-American of Port
land, Oregon, dropped into a barber
shop down on Yesler way and Railroad
last Saturday which is patronized al
most exclusively by Caucasian ho-
boes, but is conducted by what can
be rightfully termed, "a dirty niger
barber or he is one of those Negroes,
who boast Of serving white" folk only,
and when asked for a shave he was
contemptuOusly informed: I'VE don
shave cullud pussons in here" The
insult was enjoyed by a dozen or more
OF the usual hobo loungers of the shop
while the stranger was deeply cha
grined and Inundated. Thus will one
Negro in order to show off before per-
sons of different nationality, seek to
hurt the feelings of another negra and
without cause or prOVOcation. The
Negroes fight for equal rights at the
hands of the whites meets a sorry
treatment at the hands of the Negro
himself. This self same Al Thomas
was once arrested and compelled
to pay out in the neighborhood
of $3.50 for a similar treatment on his
art of a colored man, who came down
from Franklin and asked for a shave,
and sooner or later he will get it even
worse than that.

Woman's Hotel Experience.

Here is a story that is laughable
enough to make even the woman's hus-
band smile if he perchances to see it.
Over in Tacoma not many nights ago a
Seattle man accompanied by a hand
some woman registered for the night
and at once retired to their room. The
clerk noticed an unusual amount of
devotion for each other and much more
by far than is common of a man and
his Vile but he mentally soliloquized.
Some more Of that darned Seattle
spirit, guess" Sudden sickness later
in the night forced the fair companion
to seek the ladies ''boudoir," and in
leaving her room she forgot to notice
the number thereof, and wander about
the hotel as she would or may she was
unable to locate her room, when she
wished to return, and, strange to saw.
she ulu not even know her own name.
In despair she went to the ladies' par
lor and there waited for DEVELOPMENTS.
She had in the meantime called to
her assistance a rather philosophical
colored porter and confded in him.
but he, not being on duty when her
husband" registered, could not help
her out of her dilemma. Pretty soon.
however, the man thinking she was
staying an unusually long time come
down in quest of her. After letting
go sickly smile and slipping a half
dollar in the ebony-hued night mans
hand, he asked. "Have you seen a wo-
man about the hotel trying to find her
husbands rOOm?" With a roll of his
white eyes and grin characteristic
OF his race, which spoke volumes. he
replied: well, dares a lady in de
pallah who don know her own name
an 'spects she's de one uses Iookin'
for" And it was. That lady knows
her name very distinctly in Seattle.
but arriving in Tacoma at night she
evidently got turned around to such an
extent as to not even know her own
name when she got up at night and
that accounts for her hotel troubles
on that occasion.

Church's Clam ChoWder.

Tom Church, the well-known jour-
nalist and Democratic leader, has de-
veloped into a most excellent chef"
and now the Times stands a good show
OF losing most valuable employee.
By some hook or crook Tom learned
the art of making clam chowder to per-
lection and having given the press
gang a sample of it on it's recent Sun
day excursion and each of them pro-
nouncing it culinary art that could
hardly be surpassed, he is now seri-
Ously thinking Of getting a three-weeks
lay-off and opening up a chowder stand
for the Elks' Carnival. Tom is a brick
when he undertakes a thing and if he
opens clam chOwder stand during the
Elks' Carnival you can bet your bottom
dollar that he will be a bloated bond
holder before the Carnival closes. How
ever, the next time the press gang
goes on an excursion, it intends to
take homeopathic broth ready pre-
pared in preference to Toms chowder.

It's Colonel Newell.

Just where old man Newell acquired
title OF major" is not specifically
known and it would puzzle the old
man himself perhaps to explain it.,
but he has it and as all military titles
give the proud possessors thereof a
limited amount Of privilege to lord
it, over ordinary humanity, and, Major
Newell being no exception to the rule,
wants it distinctly understood that he
is not one of those who will not take
advantage of an opportunity. He, hav-
ing delicacy of exercising his mill
tary power and authority on men and
women naturally turns his attention to
little orphan boys where less resist
ence would be offered, and when he
feels his military oats he sWells all
up with impromptu Importance and as
result some little fellow is at once
thrown into chains. Oh, yes, it is
quite barberous, but the strong arm
Of the military power must be felt by
somebody, and wherein could be found
more fitting subjects than orphan boys
and girls on which to operate? For
such inhuman acts the public would
be justified in administering a splen-
did coat of tar and feathers to the
major" and perhaps he could then
show off his military exploits much
more advantageously.

land, Oregon, after stopping for a
While in Colorado and Montana. In
oregon as in the East Mr.. Williams
jumped into popular favor, being elect
ed president of the Arcadia Club, an
honor which he still retains. Mr.. Will
Hams is also grand secretary of the
f. Q. H., the largest body of Hawks"
on the Pacific Coast. Mr.. Williams has
now associated himself with C. A.
Hughes and they are preparing to open
the lroquois Club, a resort for gentle
men and gentlemen only" Their
place will be found on Washington
street between Main and Front streets,
near the Great Northern and o. R. &
n. depots. To say that they will have
large patronage is simply making
prediction that the future will verify,
AS both are well known men on this
coast, numbering their friends by the
score, Spokane welcomes them, and in
their advent to the city have gained
two worthy citizens.

Senator Squire Here.

A stranger in a strange land" can
be aptly applied to Watson C. Squire,
who arrived in this city a few days
ago. At one time no man was better
known in this city and state than Mr..
Squire, for he represented it for a
number of years in the United States
senate and during that time he was
the center of attraction at most every
prominent political gathering held by
the Republicans. He chose to leave
the Republican party in 1896 and chase
after false gods, and his former poll
teal associates at once chose to leave
him, and since that time whenever he
returned to the city he was more or
less Stunned by them. While shaking
hands with number of friends on
the streets the other day, some new
conner wanted to know: who is the
tenderfOOt that the fellows are shaking
hads with?' Thereupon he was in
formed that it was ex-senator Watson
G. Squire, and having heard a great
deal about him he felt somewhat cha
grineu over his own question. Mr..
Squire must feel lonesome as he passes
up and down the streets, wholly unob-
served and unnOticed by men who for
merly crutched and bowed to him at
every turn and corner of the streets.
as well as by those who but slightly
knew of him.

An Anarchist Mob.

The action OF the labor unions in
the boycotting Of the Neagle sisters
restaurant is more than criminal and
the town or community that will per-
nit such practices as the strikers are
imposing on the proprietors of that
restaurant and those who patronize it
IS but officially aiding and abettlng
criminals no less vicious and danger
Gus to the community than Harry
Tracy himself. Those people have the
right to employ the kind OF help thew
like best and no click or clan of scoun-
drels have any right to organize to pre-
vent them from doing so. The whelps
VINO parade in front Of that restaurant
every day are worthless appoligies tor
human beings who spend their off
hours IN gambling houses and beer
nails where only the vicious congre-
gate. The officials Of this city and
county will not exercise their author
Ity and protect those restaurant pro-
prletors Tor fear they or their party
VIII lose a few votes and thus are
crime and criminals allowed to go
Such anarchists should
be shot down like so many wild beasts

tunlt1es OF some aspiring politicians
IN this city. 1t reads as follows:
My Dear Tracy:
! When these lines come to hand |
hope they will find you well and doing
we'll, as they leave me well and doing
well in body, but sick at heart.
write you these few lines to inform you
that you have somewhat upset my
plans for the next two years by knock
ing me out of holding an Office, which
L had fully expected to do during that
time, il you had not come this way.
Now, my dear Tracy, l think you
should remember me when you strike
1T rich and send me a few dollars to
compensate me for my loss on account
OF not capturing you. l know you have
some compassion and sympathy for a
man who has lost his all by stalking
you and therefore think you Will GER
talnly compensate me tor the amount
which | sustained by permitting you to
escape. Notwithstanding the tact that
hundred or more deputy sherit1s
were around you at times and | myself
might have shot you, considered you
a brave man and l thought 1t too bad
to Kill brave man, and | therefore
permitted you to escape unhurt, believ-
ing you would sooner or later strike
1t rich and dizzy with me. When you
go away don't forget that l am GER
ta1nIy IN need of assistance.
Very respectfully,
A PURSUER.

Posse Charged a Cripple.

Like the lonely cabin near Sawyer
Lake, which was stormed by Sheriff
Cudihee's picked posse, was a lodging
house in which but single inhabitant
resided, surrounded by the sheriff and
his posse and charged by them one
day last week, only to find that it con-
tanned a helpless cripple unable even
to move out Of the chair in which he
was sitting when he saw the daring
knights rushing towards him with
drawn guns and swords in their hands.
He may have looked like Tracy before
the posse made its rush, but it is sur
missed that he looked like Hades at
its approach. Quite a number of ANUS
ing incidents have transpired during
the Tracy f1asco, but of all this seems
to be the most laughable. If the Sher-
if keeps up this persistency somebody
is going to be captured or killed as
Tracy before he retires from Office.

A Niger Chased Her.

Niger Chased Her.
Clyde Scott Chase came to the front
last Saturday with a short Uncle Bill
Mars Perry Negro story, which, it
must be admitted, was rather cleverly
written, but after reading the same and
getting the full force and effect of the
jargon, which so cleverIy initiates the
old plantation Negro of a half a CEN
fury ago, one is curious to know where
Clyde Scott Chase learned all this
darby talk from. An Iowa man once
told the writer story, which may help
out on this speculative proposition. A
grocer kept country store, which was
patronized by the community in gen
eral. Among his customers was
white CD boy, who was very dark in
complexion. The grocers natural curl
Osity got the better Of him and he f.
nally Ventured to ask the boy why he
was so dark. WELL" said the boy.

SEATTLE SPIRIT
Paper Still FIourishinu.

Paper Still FIourishing.
Nine years ago and then some
when The Seattle Republican made it's
first appearance on the streets of this
city it was predicted that the paper
would only live through the approach
ing campaign. 1t, however, not only
lived through that campaign, but it has
lived through many others and it's
lease OF life seems in no wise nearing
an end. Don't give it away, but, on
the square, The Seattle Republican
gives employment to more union help
and more help otherwise than any
other weekly paper published in King
county with the bare exception, per-
haps, of The Trade Register. The Sc
attic man who will knock as good
weekly paper as is The Seattle Repub-
ican would knock Seattle's progress
at any point or place he could get an
opportunity providing he could get a
'twO-D4C' piece for the dirty work.

Born at Charlottesville, Va, Sept.
IA, 1861. Educated in the schools of
the University Of Virginia. At the age
OF Is went to Europe, where he re-
NAMED for three years, during which
time he visited the capitals of all the
European countries. He returned to
this country in 1881 and up to the past
three years has made California his
home. Public and private records
show that he filled many creditabIe
places of trust while in that state. not
ably among which was collector and
clearing house clerk of the California
National Bank, as deputy collector of
internal revenue, and as a messenger
and stenOgrapher in the customs SER
vice.
In politics he has been a consistent
Democrat for many years, and the two
latter positions we're appointments I'M
der the Cleveland regime. A clipping
from the Oregonian of Portland gives
him a splendid write up as a public
speaker at the time of the opening of
the Democratic campaign there two
years ago, when Hon. Geo. Chamber
lain, now governor of Oregon, was
making his fight for district attorney of
that city, and letters in his possession
from that gentleman speak in the most
f1attering terms of the assistance rem
dered the Democrats on that occasion.
Mr.. Hughes has fallen in love with
Spokane to such an extent that he has
decided to remain and enter the bus
mess field of this city. He is the
president of the newly incorporated
IrOquois Club, and although it is his
first venture in that line we bespeak
for him a continuation Of the success
that seems to have followed him
through life. Surely if gentlemanIy
qualities and manly bearing be ele-
ments that lead to success in life, there
should be no doubt Of the result of his
latest enterprise. In this connection
it may not be out of place to say that
Mr.. Hughes is a member of the Ma
sonic Lodge and grand lecturer of the
F. o. H., as well as president of the
Grand Lodge.

Edison a German Too.

The Germans held quite a Sangerfest
in this city last Sunday and Monday,
which was widely attended. 1t is re-
ported that Col. Edison is a German,
and whether he is or is not he always
makes himself conspicuous with Ger
mans and in fact with most any people
who parade the streets regardless of
what the nature of the parade may be.
Col. Edison as usual was the most con-
spicuOus figure among the German
paraders and took occasion to prance
up and down the line of procession
like a mustang pony in an ant nest,
evidently with the determined inten-
ton that Notwithstanding there were
a thousand or more in the parade no
body was to be seen except Col. Edison.

In the Congress of Nations, which
is one of the features of the Jabour
aggregation of Midway shows to be
seen at the Elk's Fair, are several
Hlndoo fakirs. These magicians are
past masters in the art of now-you-
See-lt-noW-yOu-dOn't The famous bas-
ket trick is one of their illusions that
never fails to mystify. It is hundreds
OF years old, but still good. A young
boy is placed in a basket which is
securely wound with ropes. Knives
are thrust through the basket which
seem certain to pierce his body. His
cries and means indicate that this has
happened. When the ropes are re-
moved, however, the basket is found
to be empty and the boy comes run
nlng forward from the audience. Just
how he gets out of the basket and min
giles with the crowd unseen is a prob
lem that keeps people guessing.

1ne Jim Crow Negro: In a SER
mon preached recently at Macon, Ca.

lster, said: Il have decided that the

and yet claiming a house not made

white man is trying to make this earth
blossom as rose, and the Negro is
getting ready to die. The white man
is organizing business enterprises and
the Negroes organizing societies to
turn out at their funerals. Now OBJ

away all he makes. One square meal
on Sunday sweeps away all the wages

does; he eats up his living"

An Excellent Lesson.

There is more practical sense in the
above short excerpt than many are
willing to admit. The lessons taught
herein are such that every person of
color should benefit therefrom. Every
sentence contains a truth that should
be valuable lesson to every member
OF the cOlOred race. Some of the SEN
fences are, it must be admitted, rather
uncOuth, or, in other words, roughly
put, but they are, nevertheless, truth
fully put and when the majority of the
members of the colored race will have
carefully considered and obeyed the
various mandates found therein the
entire race will be bettered a hundred
times over to what it now is. The truth
always hurts andsto many coIored per-
sons reading this article it will proba-
bly, hurt, but nevertheless, it is gen
eral as we'll as specifically true, and
while it hurts it is his or her duty to
be benefited therefrom and to strug.
gle to be guided by it's teachings from
time to time and impart the same tC
the younger generation.

fiasco has injured the political oppor-
