Sullivan has been induced to ss himself-up in store clothes, put on a d shirt and collar, and even to have his picture taken. Potter C. Sullivan is the Republican candidate for Governor of the f Washington, and it is this circumstancs, together with the pressure brought upon him by his friends, that has led Mr. Sullivan to give some attention to his personal appearance. The thing never happened but once before, and that was not long ago, so that the present tracta- ¢ of Mr. Sullivan may be an evidence of the satisfactory workings of the first at- tempt. When Sullivan was chosen as a delegate to the St. Louis convention, and tin a suit of clothes ot been so much as dusted fot a frout binding of which was worn, and from the trousers of hungz some two inches of fringe, ediate friends held a caucus and that something must be done. g in a body, they conducted Sulli- van to a clothing-store and bought him * two suits—a dress suit and another—and la ict injunctions on him as to how where to wear them. At St. Louis, of course, the fact that Mr. \llivan was wearing & new suit attiacted ttle attention, and when he got back to Washington- the -suit was no longer new, so the incident passed. But now, travel- “ing about from town to town among people every one of wiaom knows him or knew him, it is very different. His appearance has created a sensation in Washington pol- itics and his enemies are trying to use the changed conditions to his hurt. But they will not succeed. “Charley” Sullivan has a hold upon the affections of the peovle of his State thatany change of clothes that be may make will not affect. Potter Charles, known in Washington from Okanogan to Bakers Bay as “Char- ley” Sullivang is an altogether unique character in Northwestern politics. A few years ago, by dint of reading law 1n the off hours of bis labor as a printer, he blos- somed out as a practicing attorney in one of the sagebrush towns of Eastern Wash- ington. It was quite natural that when the voung man begau to think of what he was to be when he grew up his thoughts turned to law, for he was the son of an eminent criminal lawyer of Washington and his elder brother was already big in the profession—is now Superior Judge in Vhitman County. His father’s dramatic death while addressing a jury in a sensa- tional murder case is a part of the history of the courts of Washington that Is.often repeated. Eo, aithough Charley shook off .the re- of home and of school at 12 years , 8nd went to seek his fortuno in the 'Ubbub of the marts as & printer's devil, ¢ shortly thereafter came to a realizing se of things, took a long look ahead and applied himself to the law. Alter a good measure of success at Col fax, he sought a wider field at Tacoma ‘on the Sound.” There he associated bimself with one of the foremost lawyers | Next Governor (and Democrats) in Washington—John P. Judson, as the junior member of the firm of Judson, Sharpstein & Sullivan. From the day he landed in Tacoma of affairs, and has remained there, stead- ily widening his circle of influential and stanch personal friends. Quiet in manner, almost reserved, yet there are few men in the Stfte who bave | so many vcciferous champions; certainly there is not a more indomitable worker in and out of politics. He isa distinct and | interesting ‘personality. He has been | chairman of the Republican committee of | Pierce County almost since his arrival in Tacoma. He was made chairman of the State Central Committee and chosen as | delegate to tne St. Louis convention. He | won the nomination for the Governorship | hands down and he will lead McKinley's vote by 5000 November 3. Sullivan’s popularity is a puzzle to peo- ple who bave met him butonce. He has ‘never outgrown that carelessness as to clothes and personal bearing with which | he began life in the sagebrush districts. | During his term as Assistant United 1Suu.es Attorney to Patrick ' Henry Win- ston—another picturesque personality in ‘ Washington politics—he bought a straw | hat for two bits during a visit to Spokane | and wore the thing right along through | all the seasons for two years. | Oneday when Senator Dolph was stop- ping at the Tacoma Hotel—so a current | story goes — Patrick Henry Winston | aropped into Sullivan’s office and said, ““Charley, you ought to go and call on | Dolph.” . | *“What for?” said Sullivan. *‘He would not know me.” “*Oh, don’t worry about that; he’d recog- nize you at once.”” “How do you know?" ‘Dolph has a good memory,” sald Winston; “he would know you by your clothes.”” Sullivan was never seen to carry an um- brella or to wear an overcoat. The seasons change, but he does not. He has no pride | of bearing and his diffidence in the pres- | ence of Jadies is said to be nothing less than painful. But those who imagine he has won bis place in affairs by the mere play of ecceutricities are in great error., He has, on the contrary, won it in spite | of them, by native force, brains, steadfast- ness and loyalty to his friends. He re- signed the office of Assistant United States Attorney in order to give all his time to the duties of chairman of the State Cen- tral Committee, and is said to have worked and walked after oflice hours in yeoman work during that campaign until he wore the fringes on his pants full two inches deeper. He was chairman of the County Com- mittee of Pierce County during the Mec- Graw campaign for the Governorship. McGraw was a Seattle man and was a leader in the movement for building that famous ship canal to Lake Washington, which was always considered in Tacoma than to boom Seattle. So local enmities ang Sullivan stepped to the front rank | as a movement having no other good nnul flamed up, and even good Republicans in Tacoma fought hard against McGraw. As chairman of the Republican County Com- mittee Sullivan oceupied a trying position. He applied himself to the work of electing McGraw with $uch ardor that meetings were held protesting and a committee of 100 business men called upon him to have him desist. He entertained them, lis- tened courteously, treated the matter good-naturedly, and before they left hall more than haif won them to the support of McGraw. His opponent is a fusion candidate, but Sullivan has him on the run. The Clock of Flowers. Gardeners claim that it is quite possible to so arrange flowers that all the purposes of a clock will be answered. The Popular Svience Monthly says that in the time of Pliny forty-six flowers were known to open and shut at certain hours of the day, and this number has since been largely in. creased. For instance, a bed of common dandelions would show it was 5:30 in the morning and 8:30 at night, respectively, for these flowers open and shut at the times named, frequently to the minute. The common hawkweed opens at 8 in the morning and may be depended upon to close within a few minutes of 2 in the afternoon. The yellow goatsbeard shuts 2t 12 o’clock noon, absolutely to the min- ute, sidereal time. The sowthistle opens at5 A. M. and closes at 111012 A. M. The white lily opens at 7 A. », and closes at 5 P M. POTTER C. SULLIVAN OF TACOMA. Gossip About - Californians in NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 27.—*Indian summer always makes me feel like an In- dian!” bluffly exclaimed a New Yorker yesterday. “This soft haze and wind from the southwest, with the red and gold leaves overhead, makes me long to sneak off to the woods where the chestnut burrs are bursting and butter-nuts and hickory nuts come rattling down through the branches bringing yellow and red leaves with them. “Every year [ go through the same spell of longing and I enjoy the sense of sweet memories to such a degree that I would not for the world go upinto the woodsand gather the ripened nuts or autumn leaves! No, Iprefer to retain in my heart the ideal pleasure of my youth!” 8o saying, the New Yorker turned him- self to a swarthy Italian standing by and purchased® a small bagiul of red-hot roasted chestnuts to accompany his mus- ings and longings autumnal. State Harbor Commissioner F. 8. Chad- bourne floated into town early in the week, _Thousands of handsomely gowned women New York but tarried a shorttime only. Hehastened on to Boston, where he will inspect the harbor and attend to a number of im- portant matters. He will be in New York again on Saturday or Sunday. Hon. Eugene B. Braden, Superintendent of the United States Branch Mint at Helena, Mont., after sojourning in town for about ten days Ieft on Thursday for ‘Washington, where he expected to be de- tained a day or two before continuing his journey homeward. Hon. E. B. Braden has many friends in California, having been for several years connected with the Southern Pacific Railroad office at San Francisco, and afterward occupying the office of general agent of the Chicazo and Northwestern Railroad. Last Wednesaay his mother, Mrs. M. B. Braden, and sister, Mrs. William C. Riddell, left for Europe, where they will spend the winter. Mr. Braden will visit California in December. 0. 0.

Fifth avenue hasn’t looked so lively and so positively interesting for many moons as it did yesterday when the First Brigade, New York National Guard, marched down the uneven thoroughfare to the beautiful white marble arch in Washington square. stood on the sidewalks and filled the win- dows of every residence along the line. When the different crack regiments of the First Brigade proudly swung by, there were gay smiles to greet them and ap- plause to tell them their gold braid and buttons, their dark. heimets and waving plumes were fully appreciated. The Mayor reviewed the brigade from a red-draped platform in front of the grand stand. For hours after the review was over the avenue was made gay with the glimpse of passing stragglers from the different regi- ments—and the women! Well, even the blase New York women cannot restrain the feminine instinct to gaze on and ap- plaud such manliness, especially when it is covered with broadcloth, long gold cords and brass buttons. The mounted cavalrymen and their gorgeous trappings recalled to mind a cute little story of which Colonel Isaac Trumbo was the blushing hero. He had been attending some public demonstra- tion 1n full regimentals, and on the way home decided to call on some friends at the Palace Hotel. He followed his card up and was met at the door by a fluffy- headed little girl of about four summers, “Where 1s your papa?” beamingly asked the colonel. Without a word, the youngster ran back to her father, her eyes filled with alarm. “Who is it, dear?’’ asked he. She gave a little gasp and said, “I don’t know, papa, but I think it's God " ‘W. P. Townsend, who represents Moore & Co., has been rushing about town at- tending to business and trying to see all the good things at the many theaters. W. A. Morgan and wife of Los Angeles 1 have been at the Metropolitan during the past week. Friday they leit for Newport, where they will visit relatives. They will be mn San Francisco some time in Novem- ber. Two well-known Californians have made a tremendous bet on the comring election; the money has been put up, so there is no sneaking out of it. The wager is four to one that McKinley will be elected by an overwhelming majority. The Bryan man has put up his $10,000, and you can easily count the $40,000 the McKinley man has ventured. They don’t want their names known, but as soon as the election is over it will be quite proper to tell who wins. Nous verrons! Hurrving down Broad- way the other morning, I met Lawrence Archer Jr., the son of the well-known lawyer, Judge Lawrence Archer of San Jose. Mr. Archer has been in New York over a year, and in that time has made quite a record for himself. He has writ- ten a number of poems and storigs, which have found their way into the best New York dailies. Though he is regularly em- ployed in the *Metropolitan Telephone Company, he spends all the time he can in writing. He is very ambitious, and his father’s son should hage no trouble in meeting success. There is one man in New York who thinks she West is the only place on carth. That man is W. Brassey, a young attor- ney, formerly of the firm of lawvers, Galpin & Ziegler. He came to New York expecfing to enter the practice of law, but illness and disappointment have caused him to regret having ever ventured so far from home, and he busies himseif during the autumn days visiting his old Califor- nia friends and telling them what a queer town New,York is, and how gladly he will return to the land of sunshine and friendly faces. Feter B, Quinlan has been at the Albe. marle during the past week. He will re- tarn to San Francisco in a few days. “QOh, for ‘the troubled flow of the dark olive depths of pines, resounding a thou- sand feet below! '’ sighed that gifted man with the merciless, subtle pen, Ambrose Bierce, a few days ago, as he looked out over a waste of city streets and city houses. He, too, is growing home- | sick, so his friendssay; he will not remain in New York longer than business com- | pels him, for his health is very poor in this boisterous climate. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Hecht and family are at the Hotel Savoy. R. M. Richardson is registered at the Continental Hotel. Californians hava been very quet during the past week. There are some surprises ahead, however, and the coming week promises to be in- teresting. ‘Will M. Clemens, another transplanted Californian, has met with considerable success lately.
