A REMARKABLE NEGRO.
Has Never Smoked, Never Chewed,
Never Played Cards, Never in =
Jail, Never Married.

There came into this office a few
days ago most remarkable negro
man. He is rounding the curve of
his fifticth year in this liie's pil-
grimage. with very unusual
record strung out behind him. His
name is Mick Gaffncv and he halls
from Mt. Tabor. living on the
! farm OF Mr.. VIM. Bentley. !,
Now Mick is not a proud man,
but some "whi' foks' put him up
to the trick he says they told him
to come and have himself "wrote
up. and they also told him that
The Times was the place to 20
OF course they are right about this,
and right about having Mick
wrote up. for he is indeed re-
markablc parsonage. But the
trouble is that the writer of this
article is SO ashamed OF his record
when compared with AIick's. that
he feels unable to do the writc-up
stunt. True he was never in iail.
and is not marricd-yct. and,-wcll
that's all. for he has done the rest
But about Mick. The old fellow

health to his good habits. which is
Just about the trucst thing he ever

places. SO VIC don't blal,aa-him. AS
Tor cards. the very sight of them al
ways did diSplrasc him: never has

never did wake up in the morning
and muse softly over the follow

No other hand could to my heart

Uncle Mick is not married.
Now, upon this subject we cannot
discourse at any length, but it is
our humble opinion that the old
man was pretty wise. He said he
done a lot OF powerful courtin'
when he was a-growin up. but he
was alluS scared @ dem gals" Wise
duck! He might have got bit. AS
ii is. his clothes were in fine condi-
tion. no buttons off, and his gen
cral appearance was indicative OF
peace and comfort his hair was
not gray. either. Besides. he is in
good condition financially. Maybe |
the old man was right.
Mick is d good. honest straight
forward farmer. at peace with his
own mind and with the world. He
owes nothing and neither is he
afraid OF being accused OF rascal
ity, for he has done none. But we
cannot help but think that he has
missed lots OF fun bv not associat- /.
ing with tobacco. True. Bill Nv"i
thinks that tobacco helped carry
off Nf~,huSalah in the prime of his
lie, but Notwithstanding this. we
do love a good cigar. .And here's
hoping that Uncle Mick will smoke
one before he winds up his record
in these parts.

Washington COAL
OUTPUT FOR 1905

Seattle, March 26.-State Mine In
spector ID. G. Betting, of Black Dia-
mond, has prepared his report for the
year 1905, as far as the mines have
handed in their reports to him. The
report, while Incomplete, is approx
mately full, since almost all of the
mines have given their output, only
five out of the thirty-eight failing to
report, and these the smaller mines.
The figures show the total produc-
ton for the year to have been 2,8lS,-
O45 tons. The total number of en-
ployes was 1912, of whom 4,055
worked inside and S57 outside.
Only five counties of the state pro-
duce coal in any considerable guam
tities-Kittitas, King, Pierce, Thurs
ton and Lewis. Kittitas, the home
of the big Roslyn and Gle Elum mines,
leads with production of 1879, 636
tons, while King, with the Black Dia-
mond, Renton and Ravensdale mines,
is second, with OS3, 1855 tons. Com.
menting on his report Mr.. Botting
says: 81 believe that this output
could be increased to 100000 tons
by the mines already in operation.

STEAMER Al XII CARRIES
PROVISIONS FROM JUNEAU

Seattle, March 27.-Officers of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company yes
terday received cable dispatch from
Juneau stating that Wrangel had been
practically wiped out by fire and that
the citizens of Juneau had raised
about twenty tons of provisions. The
message also requested the company to
allow the steamer Al-Ki. which was
then in the harbor of Juneau, to
transport the clothing and provisions
free.
The company at once authorized the
master of the vessel to take all the
stuff which was being sent. 1t is also
probable that the company will also
donate some provisions and other ar
ticles which are required in the strick-
en- town.
The message received by the COM
pany failed to give any details as to
what was being sent by the citizens
of juneau, but officers of the company
presume that it is mostly food.
The Al-Ki is due to reach Wrangel
this morning. 1t is also probable that
she will bring down some of the peo-
pie who have been burned out.

to refuse to deliver mail matter re-

assumed names under which the par

This action ut New York and Brook

made by Postmaster General Cortel-
you in Boston and Philadelphia to en-
force the law against this class of
criminal concerns statement given
out at the postofice department says:
1.-The condition of affairs which Mas
developed under the department in

been appalling. 1t was found in a
large number of instances that those
engaged in conducting these offices

Washington. March 26.-Japanese
encroachment in the fishing waters of
Alaska will be brought to a close this
year. Senator Fulton's bill prohibit

cries, catching salmon in large guam
titles and picking fish for return to
Japan. No seizures We're made, but
most OF the Japanese vessels took to
flight when observed.
