two years ago.
She tells of that awful night, how
the shot was heard, most OF the
audience thinking it was part of
the play at first; how Booth jumped
from the Presidential box, caught
his spur in the flag that draped it
and fell on the stage breaking his
leg. Then the vast audience rose
in a body, rushed over seats forget
ting their companions, Realizing
what had happened all made for
the stage shouting, amid ladies
screaming, who knew not what to
do. The stage was filled with actors
and actresses with their make-ups
on and citizens clamored for the
ASSASSIN, who escaped by way of
the back door, mounted his horse
in waiting aud got away, but was
later captured. Mrs. Evans has

An apple map, prepared from ap-
proximate figures submitted by f. A.
Huntley, state commissioner of hor-
ticulture, shows that apples are grown
commercially in every county of the
state. Yakima leads the state with
1.24S. 600 and l6. $40 acres of or
chard. Chelan county is next with
622. 675 trees. Spokane county has
third place with 495, 973 trees. Or
chards are smaller on the Pacific coast
and King county leads with 1872, 85 8
trees. San Juan is credited with Al.
IT'S trees.
Mr.. Hnntley bases his figures on re-
ports sent him by county fruit inspec-
tors. who report the number of acres
planted in their districts each year.
The nurseries shipping trees into the
state send Mr.. Huntley duplicate in
vocies and the number of trees in
each county are estimated by him
from bills received.

Apple Seed JOhnny's Work

"Appe-seed Johnny" whose real
name was Jonathan Chapman. spent
the greatet part of his life in sowing
apple seeds in Indiana and Ohio while
the two states were the property of
the thirteen colonies. He was born in
Boston in 1775, and died in 1S47,
and for forty six years he walked bare
footed through the wilderness sowing
apple seeds.
He had rlany peculiarities. but was
always welcomed and respected every
where. In the war of 1912 he saved
many lives by warning settlers of the
approach of Indians. He made a
fruit producing section out of forest
and lived to see trees bearing fruit
over a territory of 100. 600 acres.
Many of the trees were grown from
stock planted by him years before.

IF the vote cast by women
in the school elections of the
cities of this state may be taken
as criterion, the sex attaches
too little value to the right of su ffrage
to very favorabIy impress voters OF
the male persuasion with the impor-
tance of granting them the franchise
in all elections. Seattle contains
$50 1000 population and there are
doubtless approximately as many wo-
men as there are men over twenty-one
years of age, and yet only 462 women
registered for the school election and
only ISL voted. In number of pre-
cincts not one woman exercised her
right to vote. At Bellingham. which
claims So. 600 population. only 2O8
women registered and only small
percentage of them voted.
If women are so Indifferent to the
franchise in school affairs. which
most intimately concern the home.
have we any reason to believe that
they would exercise it more generally
or efficiently in elections for state or
county officers? AS matter of right
in the abstract, the writer has always
believed that women are as much en-
titled to the franchise as men. But
it is by no means evident that ma
joritY of the intelligent women of the
United States desire the franchise in
genera! elections and it is extremely
doubtful If they would exercise it if
they had it,

Advocates of municipal ownership
OF public utilities have received a
heavy blow in Chicago. The city has
been lighting its street lamps. 7647
of them, at SS16 each per year. At
the same time they have been renting
lamps at a cost of S75 per year. Ac
cording to the report of Bion j. Ar

the city has been wasting between
1000 and $500. 900 per year by
endeavoring to manufacture its own

David Starr Jordan. president of
Stanford University. spoke before the
Trans Mississippi Congress on "In-
ternational Fisheries Commission.
DR.. Jordan described the Commission
as an interesting effort s'to settle
at once a number of problems in in
ternational law. in constitutional
law. in conflict of laws, in equity and
at the same time in biology" No
statute for the preservation and prop
agation of fish can be effective. he
said. unless the nature of the indivi-
dual species, IFS food, its distribution.
and its habits, is primarily and per-
sistently kept in view. He reviewed
the efforts TO regulate the American
and Canadian fisheries. and said it
had been agreed to submit code to
both nations in January. 1909. The
artificial propagation of fish, said
Prof Jordan, was the real solution
of the problem. 1t was an art rather
than a process and. like all arts. 1t
must rest on science. He described
various species of fish, and sounded a
note of alarm concerning the salmon
fisheries of the Columbia river.

CATCHY MUSIC
OF THE MASCOT

Another advance was made on Sat
urday night at the rehearsal of 1.-THE
Mascot in the attendance of the full
orchestra under the direction of Cap
tain Berger.
The splendid work of the chorus is
already most marked with piano
accompaniment alone, and with full
orchestra to accentuate the fine points
flying At the last rehearsal Sonny
Cunha's new song my Small Town
Girl was tried out. The chorus i'm
mediately recognized it as a particular
ly tuneful and catchy air and soon
caught on" 1t is certain to meet
with popular favor, it being one of
those insidious little melodies, which,
after you have heard once, you can
not get out of your mind.
It must not be thought. though, that
all the music in THE Mascot is light,
sparkle on the wine as it were, but
there are also some numbers which are
nothing less than beautiful, and will
be recognized as such by all lovers of
true music.
Mr.. Hugo Herzer has some solos
which are perfect gems, as also have
Mrs. L. r. Crook and Jas. D. Dough-
erty.
These principals know how to do
their parts full justice, and their sing
ing qualities are too we'll known to
need further mention.
Mrs. Herzer has also some very fine
solo work. and here her training in
the East stands her in good stead. Her
voice is a most pleasing one and her
stage presence charming.
Mr.. NJ. H. Webb is another principal
who Will meet with popular favor. his
voice and action both bang excellent.
His is difficult part to carry. but it
could not have been placed in better
hands.
Too much cannot be said of the
chorus work in The Mascot" It is
perhaps one of the most satisfactory
choruses ever gathered together among
local amateurs, and when it is realized
what an important part the chorus
plays in a comic opera the advantage
of this is at once apparent In chorus
work the Pages must not be over
looked as this is a particularly bright
feature of the coming production.
There are about two dozen young
sters in this chorus. and the way they
carry their stunts" through is a treat
to see. This number is bound II be
a pleasant surprise. and after THE
Mascot" is over there ought to be some
parents particularly proud at owning
such clever children.

MANY NATIONS IN
EASTER SERVICE

An impressive Easter service, and in
all probability the most largely at
tended of all the various services which
took place yesterday, was the Sunday
school rally held at the Central Union
church. The members of nearly all the
Sunday schools in sthis city were pres
ent and took part in making the SER
vice interesting. The church was pref
ferns and a large cross covered with
marguerites was placed on the platform
near the pulpit.
Seated on the platform with Clifton
H. Tracy, who had charge of the SER
vice, was W. Mitchell. VINO made the
address of the morning, representing
the Central Union Sunday-school.
The Portuguese school was represent
ed by Leonilde Tranquada, who recited
a short Easter poem in Portuguese,
and by number of young ladies who
sang a chorus in English. Representa-
tives from the Chinese churches sang
and recited, following which the
"Sunshine song was sung by all
present.
The gallery was almost entirely
given up to the japanese Sunday
schools, other occupants being the Ka-
kaako Mission and few visitors who
could not find room downstairs. The
Japanese recited in unison answers to
several questions which Pastor Oku-
mura put. he following them with a
brief address in Japanese.
After song, there followed a short
talk by Mr.. Tracy who expressed the
wish that these Easter union rallies
might be of annual occurrence.
METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The service at the First M. E. church
yesterday morning was under the aus
pieces of the Sunday-school, and was
conducted bv the children of the school
under the direction of r. FL. Trent. the
superintendent.
The church was tastefully decorated
throughout, the platform being a bower
of beauty, adorned with plants and
flowers, while the arch above was
bright with massive flower leis. The
choir rendered special music, which
greatly strengthened the service and
did much towards making it one of the
best services of it's kind held in the
church for many wears.
