years afterward leading lawyer of the Spokane bar. In March 1879 he was succeeded by present Superior Court Judge Thomas H. Brents. of walla walla, who had been elected as a Republican. defeating the late Judge N. T. Caton, also of Walla Wal a. Judge Brents was twice re-elect' eI. defeating Judge Thomas Burke. of seattle, the Democratic candidate, in 1880 and again in 1882. Judge Brents was succeeded by the late Charles s. Voorhees,. who was elected as Dem ocrat n 1884 and reelected In 1886. but defeated by the late Senator John n. Allen in the election of 1888. AL len was the last Territorial Delegate the Territory being admitted to State ho,d in 1889. Allen was sent to the Senate.
 However, the papers made no mis- take in describing Judge Jacobs as one of the wonderful characters that have figured in the history of Wash ingtou Territory and State. He was an able lawyer and possessed keen sense of justice. His character was of the highest order, and his nature the kind Hest and gentlist. In addition to serv, ing his people ably as Delegate to Congress, he had been an Associate Justice and Chief Justice of the Terri torial Supreme Court. After retiring from Congress he served Seattle as Mayor and the people of the Territory in the upper branch of the Territorial Legislature. He left the Republican party in 1896, and became follower of William J. Bryan. He was chosen Superior Court Judge as a Silver Republican in that year, and defeated for the same office as a Democratic candidate four years afterward. He was loved and admired of a whole State.

A WORD OF SYMPATHY TO
 BISHOP ROWE.

THE many friends of Bishop Rowe
 in this city are filled with sor-
 row at thought of the sad jour ney he is now taking. The Mariposa, due this afternoon. is bearing on the way to it's last resting place in her beloved Sitka, the mortal remains of Mrs. Dora H. Rowe. She and the Bish- op came to Alaska nineteen years ago. Since then the lie and work of the Bishop has been a. part of the history of this Territory. Of the love rever- ance and esteem in which he is held 1t ls supernuous to speak. Mrs. Rowe. while of course not so much in the public eye as the Bishop, also num- bered her friends among scores and scores of Alaskans. Her strong and lovely character and her great gift of charm made 1t a privilege to know her: and of her 1t can be truthtully said:
 None knew her but to love her;
 Nome named her but to praise"
 She died last Friday and the pro- found grief into which her loss has plunged her husband and family is shared by many. many friends in Al. aska who knew and loved her.
 Knowing how weak and vain are all words at a time like this, yet this city would wish to extend to the be- reaved family it's condolence and sym pathy.
 May her sleep in beautiful and his toric sitka. where her husand brought her so many years ago at the begin ming of their real life work. and where she desired to finally rest. be sweet and peaceful until the resurrection in which she died trusting.

JUDGE JACOBS AND WASHINGTON
 HISCTORY.

IN THE sketches of the career of l the late Judge Orange Jacobs
 that accompanied the news of his death all the Seattle newspapers said that he was elected as Delegate to Congress from Washington Territory in 1876 and 1880. The papers got their political history mixed. Judge Jac. obs was elected Delegate to Congress from Washington Territory first in 1874. as a Republican, succeeding an- other of Washington Territorys rug ged old pioneers, Judge obidiah B. McFadden. Democrat. in Congress in March 1875. Judge McFadden two years before had succeeded Selucius Garfield. father of Charles D. Garfield. of Juneau, who served two terms as Delegate from the Territory. Judge Jacobs was reelected to Congress in 1876. defeating the late John Paul Jud- son. then of Olympia. but for many

per cent Of that carried out last year.
In answer to complaints made to the
police by the Department OF Health that
rubbish was being piled UP on sidewalks
and in cutters in certain districts. the
police promptly put stop to the prac-
tice The piles had attracted rag pickers
and junkmen. who were responsible for
scattering II TO the four winds.
There were more complaints yester-
day. One woman asked for an heir

cleanup crusade. The loss of a dog
was attributed by another woman TO the
same relentless foe. If alive. the health

GOLDWATER WANTS
BETTER HOSPITALS
COMMISSIONS Opposes New City
Department and Urges
Efficiency.

halt was called in the discussion OF
plans for establishing a city department
of hospitals at the Conference OF Chart
ties and Correction last night, when COM
missioner of Health Goldwater said that
no such department was needed, and that
a little more efficiency in the hospitals
themselves would be more TO the point.
The subject was introduced by Leo Arm
stein. assistant to President McAneny or
the Board OF Aldermen, when he said that
the city was losing some OF its most dis
tinguished practitioners through It's def
ciencies in hospital practice. The plans
for a department Of hospitals were then
brought forward by Deputy Commission
er Of Charities Henry c. Wright.
The requirements which Commissioner
Goldwater said were not met were that
the hospital must be OF sanitary con-
structlon and amply equipped, that the
medical staff must be able to give 10
each patient the benefit OF the resources
Of modern medicine. and that the nurs-
ing staff must be sufficient in number and
OF the best quality. The Commissioners
also disapproved of hospitals for special
diseases. and said that the typical unit
OF the better system which the city aims
to establish must be a general hospital.
Mrs V. G. Simkhovitch. Of the commit
tee on settlements and recreation, re-
ported that the chief defect in the settle
ments of the city was their inability TO
act together for a common purpose.
To-day the conference will move TO
Lincolndale Westchester County, for
the two final sessions on the subjects

CLEOPATRA" TAKEN
IN CLEANUP RAID
This Find" of Spring Scrubbing
Picture Which May or May
Not Be Valuable.

The usual artistic find OF the annual
spring cleanup was heard from yester-
day, twenty-four hours behind scheduled
time This years find" involves the
name of Adolphe William Bouguereau.
aforetime an artist Of France and noted
for pictures OF the female form divine.
The simple tale Of the finding OF Cleo
patra" as the result OF the cleanup is as
follows:
Mrs John McDermott. janitor al 800
East SOth St, threw an old trunk out Of
her basement yesterday afternoon and
several boys started TO set fire 10 IL. To
prevent injury TO the asphalt paving Rob-
ert p. Greene, a school teacher, offered
TO buy the trunk. but before the barter
could be completed the lads came upon a
wad Of bills and fed.
The finding OF the money made Greene
think he would further rummage through
some old stun which had been left by a
former tenant, an eccentric old German.
II was while doing so he discovered the
painting. At first he thought OF burning
il. but when he brushed OF the dust he
found not only beautiful picture but
the signature w Bouguereau" in the
corner.
Mr. Greene Will take his find TO the
Metropolitan Museum OF Art to-day that
II may be examined by experts. The
biographies Of Bouguercau make no men
ton OF a Cleopatra" among his works,
but Of course, they may be mistaken.
