AFTER the city fathers OF Seattle
had voted to reject the proffer of $780,
OOO for sale of a tide-land block, the
other day, it turned out that no tender
had been made OF that or any other
sum for the tract. It was . good ad.
vertisement for "real estate activity"
however.

Cooke Il Co., New York bankers, at a
time when the n. p railroad bonds
were OF doubtful utility as an invest

was probably the turning-point in that
enterprise. 1t demonstrated to many
people that there was such political
subdivision as Washington Territory
and that Olympia was its capital.
The hall was named after the engine
Columbia" as much from its appro-
priateness in being the original name
suggested by the Oregon Delegate to
Congress, Thurston, as the beautiful
block brass letters which surmounted
the dome, the machine having been
used by company OF that name from
which it had been purchased. 1t was
machine of great capacity, but q
mankiller, without double crew to
operate her. In some of her trial rec.
ords, she beat those that had been kept
in number OF tournaments at Seneca
Falls, New York, where annual con-
tests OF hand-machines were held, be-
fore the steam apparatus came into
play. A memorable, as we'll as anus.
ing thing created much comment,
when the engine was delivered. 1t was
found that hose was separate con-
sideration, and nothing in that shape
except the "suction" came with it.
A length was Immediately ordered,
without consideration as to probable
needs of the service. Then we were
happy, and the coil had scarcely
touched the wharf before it was dis.
covered that we were likewise deficient
in hose-carts. But that did not trou.
BILE the enthusiastic fre.boys. A
wheelbarrow was provided and Mr..
Farquhar constituted the hose com.
pany, who on the immediate trial, and
subsequent frequent drills, presented
the unique spectacle of a whole and
fully equipped hose company trudg-
ing along, at quick pace, after the

adoption OF Columbia" for both hall
and machine was officially made by
the City Council.
Notwithstanding it was the intent
of that body, in consideration of the
81 800 contribution, for the fremen to
retain the lower hall in perpetuity, it
was afterwards claimed by the city for
q meeting room and Office, and Colum-
bias engine room has been assigned as
police headquarters, and little remain
to indicate its origin or its varied pha-
ses of usefulness.
1t Was in Columbia Hall that some
OF the most unique political fights have
been fought; memorably one in which
Gov. Ferry and VIM. McLane presided
over two turbulent, rival " Republican
conventions at the same time.
It seems peculiarly fortunate that .
building with such an important rec.
ord and varied career should become
the permanent abiding place OF lodge
that has made such rapid flights to
eminence.

EXECUTION OF NOTED CRIMINAL
Johann Hoch, the confessed bigamist
and convicted murderer, was executed
last Friday, in the Chicago county
Jail. He died what, in sporting Ian.
guage, is called "game," but it is
doubtful whether it may be classed
with braveryin the light which heroism
implies. 1t only indicated q hardened
nature produced by familiarity with
crime and long contemplation OF
probable results. His attorneys an.
nonnce that the appeal in his behalf
is not ended by his death, and that
the case will be carried to the Supreme
Court OF the United States, and If il
is thus decided that he has been uu.
lawfully executed, proceedings will be
commenced against the officers OF the
law who officiated At the execution.
Just before the trap was sprung, Hoch
addressed the spectators in these words,
" Father, forgive them; they know not
what they do. I must die, an inno-
cent man. Goodbye" His death
was instantaneous, the drop having
broken his neck.

indication OF how completely that lead.

Those who have passed through the

Cannot our union people see the

not realize, before il is too late, that

The Elks in Minstrelsy.
The minstrel entertainment gi

The minstrel entertainment given
on Thursday and Friday nights, last
week, by the order OF Elks, were fully
up to expectations, in merit. The
first part was the equal OF any profess
sional company that has appeared here,
and far ahead OF most OF them, the
only fault, if it indeed be one, was
that the acts were somewhat pro-
longed. Too much, even Of sweetness
clogs, and experienced management
so carefully guards against giving a
surfeit that it leaves the audience de.
sirous and expectant Of more. The
ballad or act must be OF unusual merit
that will bear more than'a bare repeti.

call for more than single encore, oven

dicapped, to some extent, by the par
TALLY of friends and number of men,
bers who take part. Two hours should
have been the limit, whereas over
three hours were consumed in pre-
sentation OF the various parts.
The satire on Miserere and The
Anvil Chorus of II Trovatore were so
grotesquely farcical as to be good, aud
is justified, when we consider that the
object of grand opera seems to be
to string together occasional n steal

favorites that give tone, strength and
popularity to these classical produc.

classes of auditors. The vast sea of
melody, the work of Masters, pro.
fessedly understood by those who have
skinned over the surface, is accepted
by the throng in silence, but it is
noted they sigh with relief whenever
an oasis is passed on the islands OF

justify the use the Elks made of such
pearls as they picked up on the shore.
line and adapted to the coronets they
have since worn.
The "Queen OF the Cocoanut Isles"
was acceptable from it's very grotesque
nature, though without the support Of
distinguished lineage.
In conclusion, We express the opin.
ion that the Elks have done themselves
infinite credit in their efforts to amuse
the people as we'll as to benefit their
lodge resources.
As the daily papers having accorded
each performer the superlative degree
OF praise, it would be but repetition
to enter into details. So without in.
quiry into the prompting that may
have suggested their course, We cordi-
ally endorse all that is said BY both,
and let the matter 60 at that.
