the Times yet it is to a
more or less extent. Because Gov.
Hay is trying to rid the state
house of a man that has been
accused Of high crimes and mis-
demeanors, which man had CIV
en- Col. Blethen a little cheap adj
vertisement in preference to the
regular Republican paper, the
vulgar old .Blatherskite at
the head of the Times never is
sues an edition, in which Gov.
Hay is not ridiculed and abused
in way that might so incense
the ordinary man that he would
get a gun and give the old dope
ster its burning contents. Judg-
ing from City Engineer Thomp-
sons experience with the ridicuIe
and lying abuse of the Times
Gov. Hay is in line for greater
political honors than he had ever
dreamed would come to him.
The editor of the Times since he
has been in Seattle has made it
rule, it would so appear, to adj
vocate every crook and scoundrel
that has aspired for public hon.
ors. It for some reason has al
ways been against men by the
general public considered honest
and trustworthy, but has always
been the ardent advocate of men
and women at whom the flyer of
public scorn was pointed. If
Gov. Hay has nerve enough to
pay no attention to the villainous
abuse of the Times and will go
on his way of doing what he
thinks to be right and proper he
will continue to enjoy public con-
fidence and will, by the aid and
assistance of the abuse of the
Times, become one of the great
men of the Northwest.

the black man will come to his

Mrs. R. Jerome Jeffrey, of
Rochester, New York, is one Of
the leading club women Of that
section. She was one of three
persons that Mrs. Susan B. An
thony requested before she died
to speak over her remains. She
has attended Woman's Club con-
ventions all over the country and
always represented clubs COM
posed wholly of white member
ship. She is a music teacher at
her home and connected with
the public schools. Among her
long list of pupils not a Negro
child is to be found and yet Mrs.
Jeffrey herself is what you
would term a black woman. She
is highly educated and speaks
the purest Of English having
been educated in the Boston
schools. She has been in the
city for the past ten days a dele
gate to the National Woman Suf-
frage convention, and even in
this she represents a white con-
stitutency.
Mrs. Jones the wife of Prof.
Jones, is the music teacher at
the school of which her husband
is the president and she is a most
accomplished and highly educa-
ted lady. She is an able second
to her husband, and like her hus-
band, takes a rather cheerful
view of the future of the Negro
of the United States.

Distinguished Negroes In
Seattle

A number of prominent Afro
Americans have been attending
national organizations of various
kinds in Seattle for the past
week, all of whom are more or
less prominent in the respective
communities where they reside,
and they have made a most fav-
orable showing among the great
men of the contry In their special
lines.
Bishop C. H. Phillips, of
Nashville, Tenn, who presides
over one of the districts in the
colored Methodist Episcopal
church, which f1ourishes for the
most part in the same sections
of the South, is perhaps the most
distinguished of them all. Aside
from his church dutits he is pres
ident of the board of trustees of
Phillips University, school de-
voted to the education of colored
youths. He is accompanied by
his wife who is on the Epworth
League programme. Mrs. Phil
lips is a very talented lady and
makes a most favorable impress
sion. From the same church
and community as Bishop and
Mrs. Phillips come Rev. James
A. Stout, special representative
to the convention, and Rev. G.
w. Stewart, general secretary OF
the Epworth League of the Col
ored Methodist church.
J.. McHenry Jones, president
of a state industrial school at
Institute, West Virginia, devot-
ed to the interest of educating
the colored youths of that
state is perhaps one of the
most distinguished educators OF
the Afro Americans who have
visited the city for the past week
He is on the Epworth League
program and is brilliant talker.
Mr.. Jones discusses the situation
in the South so far as the black
and white folks are concerned
with much intelligence and I'M
derstanding. While to him the
picture at present seems rather
dark, yet he takes cheerful
view of the whole and says it is
up to the black man to work out

The women of an Indiana tow


The women of an Indiana town
recently organized a literary
club, and for a while everything
was lovely. Alice, what was
the topic under discussion by the
club?" asked the husband of one
of the members upon her return
home from one of the meetings.
Alice could mt remember at once.
however, she exclaimed:

an across the street and Long

his own salvation. Like most
men who have given the situa-
ton any thought, he is of the
opinion that, the Negro should
for the time being drop out of
politics. He also thinks that
the Negro would do a great
deal better if he would scat
ter from the South and find
homes in every nook and corner
of the Western hemisphere.
There is no hope, in his opinion,
of building up a "black repub-
lie" in the United States.
From the state of Mississippi,
comes E. H. McKissack, who
aside from being connected with
one of the Methodist schools of
that state, which is supported by
the Freedman's Aid Society of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
he is one of the secret society
men of the state, and is perhaps
one of the best fixed, from a fl
nancial standpoint, of any color
ed man in the state. Mr.. Nc
Kissack takes a most hopeful
view of the situation in the South
and thinks the day is not far dis
tant when all of the troubles of
the black man in that part of
the moral vineyard will be little
ones. At present he is the act
ing president of Rust University,
and may perhaps be made its
president as soon as he returns
home.
|. Garland Penn, of Atlanta,
Georgia, is said to be one Of the
most noted church workers
among the Afro-Americans OF
the Methodist Episcopal church.
He is one of the official members
of the Epworth League trustee
board. Speaking of Mr.. Penn,
]. w. Efaw said: II know OF
no man connected with the
League that does better work
and who is so generally liked as
Mr.. Penn. In his quiet and un-
assuming way he is doing the
greatest work of any member OF
the League. Mr.. Penn has al
ways taken a hopeful view of the
situation as to the whites and
blacks in the South and still
thinks that the day is not far dis
tant when all will be well and

The Judiciary committee reported both of these matters favorably and they had passed the House.

Bridget McTiernan, a waShlady by profession and a firm believer in the song "Old Budweiser is a friend of mine,' was before Judge Wilder today charged with drunkenness. Bridget was fined S10 and costs, and in lieu of payment went to jail Bridget plead ed to be allowed to go as she had to support her husband.
 Attorney Redden was in doubt for the moment just what disposition he should ask Judge Wilder to make of Mrs. McTiernan's case, as he could not help but think of the terrible plight the husband would be in if his wife went to jail. Officer Finnegan was of the opinion that MT. McTiernan was an able bodied man and we'll able to support himself, and so Bridget took joy ride in the new patrol to North avenue.

NO COMMISSIONER
 OF AUTOMOBILES
Senate Refuses to Create Horde of Office Holders to Give Allen Job.
(By Our Staff Correspondent.)

(By Our StaH COrreSpOndent.)
 Hartford, July 21.-The Senate inde- finitely postponed the proposed bill under which an automobile commits sioner and a number of paid -inspec- tors were to be employed and which would have resulted in the building up of a large political machine. Secretary of State M- H. Rogers opposed the bill as it would take from the office of secretary the regulation of the auto mobile traffic in the state. It is gen erallv understood that if the bill b. came a law that Postmaster George Allen of Middletown would be ap- pointed the automobile commissioner. Allen is credited with being a Mclean man, in the latter's fight to succeed Bulkeley United States senator. Bulkeley and his friends got busy yes terday with the result that tl1S-anc- Lean forces decided not to press for the passage of the bill. The result was an indefinite postponement which prac- tically kills the bill. The regulation of automobiles will remain with the sec retary of state.

LAKE PATENTS ON
 NOVEL AIR SHIP
Also Secures Patents on Novel Principle for Inter
 nal Combustion Engines
HIS IDEAS REVOLUTIONARY

That Christopher J. Lake has long
 been contemplating a venture into the field of aerial navigation the patent office reports abundantly show. In the early part of the present year MT. Lakes name figures frequently in the reports. His inventions relate to mo- tors and to air craft. While the pur- poses of the inventor are not disclos- ed in the specifications of inventions which he has made they afford some indication that MT. Lake intends to work upon an air ship of an abso- lutely novel design and that he in tends, perhaps to build it from the motor up.
 On March 23, MT. Lake was granted a patent on a power fluid generator, which will consist of an inner com chamber. To one chamber hydrocar- bon and air will be introduced under pressure and to the other chamber water and finely divided air under pressure. The pressure will be deriv- ed from the movement of the opposite cylinder under explosion. ..
 On March MT. Lake also obtained a patent for superheating appara- tus to use in connection with a steam boiler.
 He also has secured patent for de- vice for ''locomotion of vessels, ve- hicles or other moving bodies" The DaS1S or this deV1c0 IS a conduit nav ing a controlled central portion, en- Iraged expanding ends, and having means for discharging a heated pres sure fluid rearwardly from the for ward part of the conduit into the contracted portion so as to impel air therethrough and expand the air in the traverse of the other expanding portion of the conduit.
 It is proposed to attach such a pro- polling device to a balloon or gas bag, to which propellling device suitable rudders are also to be attached.
 On April 13 a patent was granted to MT. Lake upon an application of the principal above described, to a pair of aeroplanes designed for aerial nav igation.
 These aeroplanes are to be equipped with longitudinal air passages and substantially vertical air passages each of said passages having a con- ing in either direction to large open ends Means for producing a heated elastic fluid under pressure and means for discharging said fluid from points to the ends of the con- duitS and their contracted central portions in such manner as to inpel air there through are provided. The air is heated and expanded by the elastic fluid during it's traverse of the expanding portion of the conduits.
 MT. Lake has secured an option of Park, and as exclusively told in the Farmer, yesterday, will build air ships there.
