The Cost of Interments Has Been Greatly Reduced by the Holman Undertaking Company. Heretofore it has been the custom of funeral directors to make charges for all incidentals connected with a funeral. The Edward Holman Undertaking Company, the leading funeral directors of Portland, beginning July 2, will depart from this old custom. When the casket is furnished by us, its cost will include all charges, such as conveying the remains to our chapel, outside box, embaling, hearse to cemetery and all services which may be required of us except cholinemaery and carriages, thus effecting a saving of $25 to $75 on each funeral.

At Least Twenty-Six Persons Killed and a Hundred Hurt. Colton, Cal., March 29.—One of the most disastrous wrecks in the history of the Southern Pacific railroad occurred one and one-half miles east of this town shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when westbound train No. 9 from New Orleans for San Francisco ran into an open switch, while going at the rate of 40 miles an hour, and ten of the 14 coaches were derailed with frightful results. Twenty-six people are known to have been killed and the final list will total much higher than this number. The injured number about 100, many of whom are seriously injured and will die. The wrecked coaches were hurled in every direction. Four of them were smashed into splinters. Most of the dead were Italians from New York and New Orleans, going to San Francisco. They occupied the smoker and day coach. But two Americans are known to have been killed, although several of those among the injured will undoubtedly die within the next few hours. Out of 80 Pullman passengers, but two sustained serious injury. The three Pullman coaches and the diner, which were on the rear of the train, did not leave the track. The occupants of these cars were practically unharmed. L. R. Alvord, W. K. Davis and W. G. Gusenmeyer, members of the switching crew who are accused of leaving the switch open and causing the wreck, were taken into custody and held in bail of $1,000 by Coroner Van Wye. TRY MEDIATION. Knapp and Neill Will Attempt to Adi just Railroad Dispute. Chicago, March 29.—Government intervention will be tried in an effort to avert the great railroad strike which threatens to paralyze the business of the West. In response to the appeal of the railroad managers, Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate Commerce commission, and Commissioner of Labor Neill will arrive in Chicago Saturday morning and offer mediation in the controversy. Failing to adjust the matter in a conciliatory manner, they will endeavor to bring about arbitration under the provisions of the Erdmann law. The labor chiefs will await the arrival of the government officials before ordering a strike. If the good offices of Mr. Knapp and Mr. Neill result in bringing greater concessions to the employees than have yet been offered, the strike may be averted. The employees, however, say they will not accept arbitration and today again declared their position that nothing short of greater concessions from the railroads will prevent them from walking out. President Roosevelt has been following closely the developments in the situation here and Messrs. Knapp and Neill will undertake the delicate work imposed on them by law with full consciousness that the president is extremely solicitous that all differences be settled by arbitration. The general managers said that no attempt would be made to operate trains if the employees struck. NO ADVANCE IN LUMBER RATES St Paul, Minn., March 29.—An official statement was made by traffic men of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads today that it is not contemplated to make any immediate change in lumber rates from Puget sound to St. Paul and Missouri river cities, as the lumbermen have advised the Interstate Commerce commission in Washington. A joint statement was made by the lines as follows: "We have not considered an increase in Pacific Coast Missouri-River lumber rates, except as they may have been involved in discussions covering the general rates and cost of service. No immediate changes are contemplated." While the statement gives generally the situation, it is asserted the lines are closely investigating conditions governing the transportation of lumber, which have changed considerably since the industry on the coast started. Burning Gas Terrifies Farmers. Sapulpa, I. T., March 29.—The gas well two miles east of here that caught fire Saturday is still burning fiercely. After 14 days of work the well was capped. But the great volume of gas found another way out through the crevices and for half a mile it spread open the earth. At one place a hole three feet wide and 20 feet long was torn. Then the gas caught fire and has been burning ever since. At one place a sheet of flame 20 feet long and 15 feet high is blazing. Tons of rock and shale were thrown from the cracks. Faculty Rebukes Magoon. Havana, March 29.—The directors of Havana university held a meeting today and entered a protest against the recent action of Governor Magoon in licensing two American doctors to practice in Havana without first passing an examination in the University of Havana, as required by law. NO. 49. SCHMITZ'S VILE PLAN Has Desperate Scheme to Prevent Franchise Revocation. TRIES TO BUY OFF SUPERVISORS Have Enough Resign to Make His Veto Effective—Sweeping Reforms Are Instituted. San Francisco, March 30.—Mayor Schmitz has opened negotiations with certain members of the boodling board of supervisors in the hope of consumating a bold coup. The plan of the mayor is to purchase the resignation of enough members of the board to make his veto power sufficient to prevent the revocation of the franchises of the big corporations which obtained their permits through the illegal use of money. It requires 14 members of the board to override the mayor's veto. If he can secure the resignation of five out of the 18 he will be able to check by his veto any of their reform measures adopted under the swish of F. J. Heney's big stick. It is a desperate game, doomed to failure almost at the outset. The "reformed" board of supervisors, acting under the direction of the district attorney's office, gave another startling exhibition today of a desire to be good, when it made plans for the abolition of a score of ornamental officials. James Devoto, attorney for the board of public works at a salary of $250 per month, will be decapitated. Other officials, who under the Ruei regime have done nothing but draw salaries, will be dropped. In the course of the next few weeks reforms will have been instituted which will save the city $100,000 a year. FAMINE WOULD RESULT. Railroads Hold Out Gloomy Prospect if Strike is Called. Chicago, March 30.—Famine in supplies of food, coal and manufacturing materials for Chicago and many other cities throughout the entire West was predicted today, if the impending railway strike became a reality. Railroads of the entire West will be allowed to remain completely paralyzed in case the strike of trainmen and conductors on 43 traffic systems is ordered. This course has been practically decided on by the general managers of the systems. A meeting of the managers was held today and the impracticability of filling the places of 45,000 men who are talking of a walkout was discussed. No move has been made to hire men to run trains. In fact, no preparations is being made by the railway managers. "If these men strike it would be almost, if not entirely, impossible to operate the railroads," said an official high in railroad circles. "It is as good as certain that freight traffic will be entirely shut off. Consider what it would mean, if Chicago were to be isolated for 24 hours. What would happen if the milk supply were interrupted or the immense importations of perishable freight halted by a tie-up of the roads." HILL MAY ISSUE NEW STOCK. Minnesota Supreme Court Holds Restrictive Law Invalid. St. Paul, March 30.—The State Supreme court today upheld the Great Northern railroad in its contention that it had the right to issue the $60,000,000 of stock authorized by the board of directors some months ago, and which was enjoined by Attorney General Young, who claimed that the company should farst come before the state railroad and warehouse commission and submit to an examination to show the necessity and he purpose of the issue. This contention of the state was upheld by Judge Hallam in the Ramsey County District court, who ordered an injunction to issue. The Supreme court today reverses that decision. The opinion of the court was unanimous. Chief Justice Start delivered the opinion of the court. Sailors Loot Steamer Norfolk, Va., March 30.—One hundred sailors from the battleship Connecticut, while on the way from Willoughby to Fortress Monroe upon the passenger steamer Ocean View today, without apparent cause took forcible charge of the steamer and put the crew to rout. The sailors broke windows and doors, drove the cooks from the galley, poured out all provisions aboard, dumped on deck the fire in the stoves, turned steam on the fire-extinguishers and did other damage. Their names are not known. Tobacco Buldings Burn. Danville, Va., March 30.—A disastrous fire broke out in South Boston, Va., 32 miles northeast of here, late this afternoon, and, spreading rapidly, destroyed the tobacco buildings, causing a loss of $900,000. - Some people, as soon as they "get religion," begin to talk about the world coming to an end. A Milwaukee woman is in trouble because she threw a clock at her husband. It must have struck 1. It would be a fine thing if Burbank or somebody else could develop a sensationless New York murder trial. A correspondent of the New York Herald thinks the unemployed are living too easily. How does any one expect the unemployed to live? A learned savant says earthquakes are the result of the sinister influence of Saturn. That looks like just as good a guess as any of the others. Hetty Green's niece has been sued for divorce, her husband alleging that she is a spendthrift. This seems to be a case in which blood does not tell. An exchange expresses the opinion that the twentieth century will prove to be woman's century. Still, she will no doubt permit us to share it with her. The German emperor celebrated his birthday by modifying the leze majesty law. London correspondents will see in this another covert blow at British trade. A man complained to the police because he was held up and robbed of 25 cents. Had he been a fighting man, he would have shown the highwayman no quarter. A scientist reports that cold feet indicate great intellectual power and activity. The common supposition that cold feet indicate unusual welching inclinations will probably continue, however, to prevail. When King Leopold heard that the Congo natives saved their money for the purpose of buying wives, he must have been better pleased with himself for making it impossible for them to save any money. It has been proposed that the afala plant be adopted as the floral emblem of Oklahoma. Mistletoe has been the emblem of the territory, but mistletoe is a parasite, and is not appropriate to a rugged young state. Mark Twain fears a monarchy is coming, and President Ellot says the monarch is already here. In the meantime the American nation is steadily forging ahead, the freest, greatest, best and safest republic the world has ever known. The statistics showing that every person in the United States consumed more than half his weight in sugar last year must not be taken too literally. Possibly some of the lawmakers and insurance men got a little more than their statistical share. People generally don't realize what a panacea fresh air is. According to a discussion in the New York Academy of Medicine among the diseases which fresh air is said to cure are insomnia, anaemia, delirium, pneumonia, typhoid and all other fevers, tuberculosis of the bone as well as of the lungs and almost every other classified allment. Only in cases where subnormal temperatures are a feature is the open-air treatment questioned. Some difficult questions are being brought to the attention of the bankruptcy courts. The case of the lady who mortgaged her house to buy an automobile is now followed by that of the female bankrupt who could not pay her rent, yet who paid $50 for a cat with a pedigree. Instances like these cause referees in bankruptcy to become puzzled and dejected, yet they are all variations upon the old story of the family that landed in the poorhouse because of its efforts to live up to a set of blue china which had been presented by an ill-advised friend. The rich have been getting so much richer for the last ten years and so many of the poor have got rich, too, that it has got on the nerves of the community. Good friends all, let us not worry unreasonably about that, but try while the sky is clear to save up a little dross for ourselves. Business never stands still long. When it is not getting better it is getting ready to be worse. Those of us who live long enough will survive this period of distressful affluence and are likely to see concern about the accumulations of others give way to anxieties about employment and subsistence. There are some physicians who say that they are no longer obliged to answer night calls and that no case, however urgent, would drag them from bed. Thus do they cast reproach on a most honorable profession. To one grooming over the duty of lending aid at an "unseasonable" hour the answer might be given that was made to the policemen in "The Pirates of Penzance": "You should have thought of that before you joined the force." Men, women and children will not always be considerate. They will fall sick at 1 in the morning. Palms will not always wait for the sun. Death has a fine disregard for clocks and for house doors securely bolted and even provided with the latest and most ingenious locks. Rich American girls have at last discovered that their money is sometimes an obstacle to happy marriage with sensible and promising young men. It is whispered that some of the wise ones have formed a club to learn and practice the charms of poverty. The young man looking for diversion may be satisfied to find it with the girl who can dance well and talk "sportily" of football and dogs. But when he is looking for a wife he must be lured by other qualities. So the club for reducing the handicap of riches gives its members a course of lessons in the accomplishments of being useful. For example, it teaches them to darn stockings. Not only must the holes be neatly filled, but the girl must be able to do the task while the young man is calling, and to look fascinatingly domestic in the act. The heiress who is willing to take her chances of a happy life with a foreign count may not trouble herself about housekeeping; but the best American man likes to be assured that his wife can take the place of the cook or the waitress or the laundress should emergency arise, and that she will be both effective and delightful while she does so. The girl burdened with wealth employs a poor girl to teach her, not only dish-washing and bread-making—but amliability. "The rich girl," says the social philosopher, "is often very uncertain in her temper. The poor girl must keep sweet-tempered or lose her job." So the noble art of keeping still under provocation is practised, and the passion for having the last word is repressed. The truth is that all the charms and graces are none too many for "the coming girl." If she is poor, she may acquire the dainty habits and the refined taste of the rich girl. If she is rich, she may emulate the energy, the optimism and the sweet temper of the poor girl. Until presently, the youth in search of a wife may safely choose her where he will, sure that she will adorn and enrich any station to which it may please God to call her. How every true man and woman loves the name of home! How they pity those who, from force of circumstances, must board, even temporarily. Every newly married couple should set up an establishment for themselves, no matter how small it must be. Here they must become acquainted with each other; here they may spat and kiss, without comment or advice from outsiders, for, safe to say, there will be more disagreements and misunderstandings, more tears and heartaches the first year than any one year after; so, by all means, live alone the first year. No matter how long, nor how well, the couple may have known each other before marriage, it is a strange new path that they must travel now—they must adjust themselves to each other's peculiarities; figure out for themselves the ever perplexing question of dollars and cents, and, maybe, teach a turkey appetite to render a thankful "Amen" after a bacon sufficiency. To each one will sometimes come this question: "Did I make a mistake in marrying?" Let us hope that love and faith make answer: "All is well," and that these little differences, with their necessary explanations, will pave the way to complete understanding and perfect trust, and that the second year, a loving glance, a gentle hand clasp, or a smile, will take the place of the tearful explanations of the past. Do not cheat yourself out of the pleasure and luxury of owning your own home—the fact that it is cheaper counts little beside the increased happiness it brings to the owners. Each new leaf, each blossom, is nature's lavish thanks for care received. The home-making of a loving couple is the happiest time in life, and the couple who world forego the pleasures of home for the so-called advantages of a boarding house, is very short sighted. No boarding house can be home. It is well for children that most boarding houses refuse to receive them, thus forcing the parents into making a home for them. In your own home, you are a great man, in a boarding house a married man is a nonentity, and the single man a wolf. In justice to yourself, make a home. A Wonder. A number of military men in a Washington hotel were giving an account of an incident of the civil war. A quiet man who stood by at last said: "Gentlemen, I happened to be there, and might be able to refresh your memory as to what took place in reference to the event just narrated." The hotel keeper said to him: "Sir, what might have been your rank?" "I was a private." Next day the quiet man, as he was about to depart, asked for his bill. "Not a cent, sir; not a cent," answered the propreter. "You are the very first private I ever met." A Morning Song. Don't you sigh, believers, wid de trouble in you soul. De worl' won't quit de rollin' kaze you tell it not ter roll! Dar's all de joy a-comin' what de arms er you kin hol'— De hilltops is shinin' wid de mawnin'! —Atlanta Constitution. A Flyer. He—What does that kinetoscope picture of that scenery make you think of? She—Why, it's for all the world like the trip we just took to Europe—Detroit Free Press. Don't be too hard on the poor poet.

There was a feller name o' Brank come to me once an' while I was cuttin' his hair he told me about another guy name o' Sturgis 'at owed him $3.50 for some paperin' he'd done for him. I don't remember now jest egssackly how it was, whether there was any dispute about the work or not. I didn't pay so much attention to it, anyway. But he claimed Sturgis owed this $3.50 an' he couldn't git it out of him. "Why don't you sue him? I says. "What good 'ud that do me?' he says. 'I'd have to pay a lawyer $10.' "Why don't you take it out of his hide?' I says—jest like you might say it. I didn't care nothin' about it one way or another. Sturgis uster keep a mug with me an' I had his trade steady. "That's what I'd do," I say—jest talkin', I'd go up to him an' I say, "You pay me that $3.50 you owe me, doggone you, or I'll take it out o' your hide." "I've a notion to do it," he says. "Do as you like about it," I says. 'It ain't nq business o' mine." "Well, sir, right there an' then Sturgs comes into the shop. As soon as he seen who was in the chair he looked kind o' abbergasted, but he didn't go out, as I was hopin' he would. He set down an' picked up a paper an' begin readin'.

The eruption of lava and fire from Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, is increasing, and more than one flow has reached the sea. A new flow extends over thirty-five miles of waste land. It is moving at the rate of thirty miles an hour, is fifteen feet high and half a mile in width. Volcanic eruptions and lava flows are not feared in Hawaii. They have been happening since the beginning of the islands. Outbreaks from Kilauea and Mauna Loa, the two active volcanoes of the islands, are looked on as safety valves against destructive seismic activity. The present outbreak began recently, when over the mountain there spread a vast curtain of smoke. A vast column of light reflected against the smoke and illuminated the entire heavens. It was visible for many miles in every direction. During the day the appearance of the outbreak from a distance is of a great pillar of smoke rising from the top of the mountain. Excursions from all parts of the islands have been organized to go and see the wonderful spectacle. HUDSON BAY ROUTE GAINS. Building to Great Arm of Sea. The use of the Hudson Bay route to Europe can no longer be regarded as a mere visionary scheme. All of Canada's great railway systems are pushing their lines in the direction of ports on the shore of the bay. It will be reached from the south, the southwest and the west. The more impotrant lines will run from the west and the southwest, from the wheat fields and the cattle ranges. The rapid development of Canada's great northwest within the last few years and the assurance of an even more rapid development in the years to come have brought about new conditions. The Hudson bay route is open for four or five months each year. It is shorter by from 700 to 1,000 miles than are the present routes between the wheat fields and the markets of Europe. It offers a saving in freight handling. Grain and cattle from Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta will require only one transfer on their way to Europe. The matter of distance and of general shipping convenience is best realized by reference to a map, where comparison may be made between the direct rail routes from Winnipeg or Calgary or Edmonton to Fort Churchill or York factory and the devious rail, lake and canal routes to Montreal or New York. Churchill and York, like New York and Montreal, are practically 3,000 miles from Liverpool. There is little doubt that within the next few years the Canadian Pacific, his fists doublin' up under the cloths I begun all over agin, snippin' here an' there an' steamin' up. I thought I'd get Sturgls tired out, but he sat there 'sif he had all the time there was. At last, when there honestly wasn't noth- in' more I could do, I wiped off his face an' neck an' jerked the cloth off him. At the same time I whispered to him not to make no fuss in the shop. "I guess he didn't understand what it was I said to him, for he didn't wait to put on his collar. He just walked up to Sturgis and he says: 'You pay me that $3.50 you owe me, doggone you, or I'll take it out o' your hide.' "I tried to step in between 'em, but I wasn't quick enough. Sturgis didn't say nothin'; he just hauled off 'an knocked Brank kerslap into the mirror' scattered the tonic an' hair brushes an' razors an' shampoo mixtures all over the floor an' the next mint they were trompin' an' smashin' 'em into the ground. I picked up a cane chair an' threw it at Sturgis an' it missed him an' brought down the mug rack. Sturgis left of poundin' Brank long enough to return the chair an' this time it didn't miss. I got it on top o' my head and I concluded to draw out an' call for help. When I got back with the marshal Sturgis had gone an' Brank was jest comin' to his senses. "Well, I had 'em both arrested an' Brank told the justice I'd put up a job on him an' I got fined $10 an' costs for inclin't to a breach of the peace. Then I sued Sturgis for damages an' lost out, an' the result o' that fracas was I busted up in business an' had to get out o' town—jest by talkin' a little." "That's the trouble with you barbers," commented the listener. "You will talk." "It's cured me," said the barber."—Chicago Daily News. OF MAUNA LOA, IN ACTION.

So, in all probability, will some of the smaller roads of eastern Canada have their terminals on James Bay, which forms a pocket at the southern end of the Hudson Bay shore line. This is a matter which is somewhat more than likely to have an important bearing on the interests of American producers and of American transportation lines—New York Sun. The Actor's Heaven. At the Players in New York a number of actors were arguing about the meaning of the word "happiness." In the midst of the argument Henry E. Dixey appeared, and one of the contestants said: "Dixey, what is your idea of happiness?" Mr. Dixey smiled thoughtfully. Then he replied: "My idea of true happiness is to lie on a couch before a bright fire, smoking a large Havana cigar given me by an admirer, while I listen to a woman who worships me reading aloud flattering press notices about my acting."—New York Tribune.

One Year, payable in advance.....$2.00 Our Candidate for President JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER Of Ohio THE LABOR VOTE. There is a good deal of talk about the "labor vote" which is estimated by politicians at a good deal more than it is worth in every campaign, for it cannot be held together, except perhaps, in very rare cases. There are laboring men of all sorts of opinions, the same as other men. Some of them are anarchists, a larger number are socialists, some stick to one or the other of the old parties and on election day and primary day, their votes scatter. The colored men's vote is or may be of more importance in a large town for they are almost unanimously republicans, but if they get together to vote against one or more republican nominees, every vote practically counts two, and they may hold the balance of power. It is said that a certain democrat is holding off in the matter of running against Mayor Lane in the primaries to see if he can be assured of the labor vote. This he never can be assured of, and if he could get it and thereby beat Lane for the nomination it would be a bad thing for him, for any republican whatever would beat him overwhelmingly. His candidacy would be a travesty. Lane is the only man that the democrats have the slightest possible chance of electing, and this is a very slim one. But, however, that may be the "labor vote" is not what it has been cracked up to be. Mr. Coffee has been put forward by some of the labor unions, but there are mutterings of great dissatisfaction among other unions. Mr. Devlin is no doubt quietly courting the labor vote—and so are others—but it is a weak reed to rely upon. Possibly a man who would come out flatfooted against so-called union tyranny would stand as good a chance as the one who struggles and smiles and bows and scrapes to please the laboring man during a campaign. THE MAYOR WILL RUN Mayor Lane, much to the disappointment of a few ambitious but unwise democrats, has announced his candidacy for a second term, but on a platform that is not agreeable to said democrats, who think he should have appointed only democrats to positions. But by whose votes was he elected? By those of more republicans than democrats. Then did not the republicans who elected him have a right to some recognition? What sort of treatment would it have been after receiving the votes of thousands of republicans to say that under no circumstances could any republican hold an office or get a job of any kind under his administration? This is what these few democrats demanded that he should do, and if he had no democrat would probably have ever had the slightest "smell" in this city for years. The democrats in this city and county cast about one-fourth or less than one-third of the votes, and they ought to be mighty thankful to get nine-tenths, or two-thirds, or even one-half of the jobs. If it had not been for republican votes they might not have had one at all—for a majority mayor is under no such obligation to the other side as one of a small minority party. The mayor may be credited with sincerity about serving the people, and yet recognized in his letter to the democrats as playing for republican support again. No doubt he will get some, but a good deal that he got two years ago he may not get [Name not provided] next June, and will not if the republicans should choose the right kind of a man. SENATOR FORAKER. Senator Foraker has announced that he will recommend the holding of primaries in Ohio that shall not only elect members of a state convention but that shall also vote on candidates or choice for senator and for president. Ohio has no primary law like that of Oregon, so the expression as to senator and president would not be binding at all, but it would be significant and impressive, and would indicate whether the voters of Ohio —Roosevelt not being considered—prefer Foraker or Taft for president. Senator Foraker says that in all his public record there is nothing to conceal or apologize for, and as much as intimates that while making no fight against Taft, he would like the Ohio voters to decide between them, apparently confident that he could win. Ohio has a large colored vote, and while there is nothing against Taft, and he is recognized as a fit and able man, this vote would no doubt be mostly thrown to Foraker, partly in consideration of his active efforts in behalf of the mistreated, not to say outraged Brownsville soldiers. The colored people of the country will miss no opportunity to support the man who courageously took the part of their brethren. JUDGE CAMERON Portland never had a better municipal judge than Judge Cameron. He thoroughly understands his business attends to it promptly and with ex- JUDGE GEORGE Portland's Popular Municipal to Succeed pert discrimination, and metes out justice under the law as well as any man in that position could do: Since Judge Cameron is willing to serve the city another term in this capacity he will undoubtedly receive the republican nomination, and if so it would be worse than useless for any democrat, however good and popular a man, to run against him. The city could not possibly do any better than to keep Judge Cameron on the police bench another term. Apparently it doesn't pay for any really big and eminently fit republican to be mayor of this city and of course, as a matter of money, it doesn't. But it is a pity that some such man would not make the necessary sacrifice. One of the aspirants for an important office who is asking republicans to support him has been a republican only since he took a notion that he might get an office with a fat salary and some side opportunities. To Mr. Wm. Ladd will be due a large part of the credit for the proposed Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. building. Ex-Councilman Zimmerman is e again mentioned a good deal for the t nomination for mayor. PORTLAND NEW AGE PEOPLE'S CHOICE Louis Zimmerman, Popular Business Man, Out for Republican Nomination as Mayor. STANDS AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS His Reputation and Record as a Man and Citizen and Office Holder Guarantees a Good, Clean Administration "If I am nominated and elected, I will during my term of office, conduct a well regulated city on equitable principles for the city," Mr. Zimmerman's Platform Mr. Louis Zimmerman, formerly councilman from the Sixth ward, and well known business man, is being urged by a legion of friends and admirers who desire that he allow the use of his name in connection with the mayoralty contest. The friends of Mr. Zimmerman claim, and it cannot be denied, that he is pre-eminently the strongest man E. E. CAMERON Judge, Who is a Candidate and Himself. yet named for the office of mayor, and that he will be a sure winner. There are many reasons why the voters would rally to the standard of Louis Zimmerman, the principal ones of which are: First—His high personal character and acknowledged fitness for the office. Second—His honorable record and usefulness as a member of the city council. Third—His general popularity and acceptability to all classes of citizens. In the selection of a candidate for the important office of mayor of a great and growing city like Portland, too much care cannot be exercised. It is highly important that the nominee of the Republican party—who most assuredly will be the next mayor—should be a clean, able and experienced business man. This is necessary, particularly at this time when the need of a genuine business administration of the affairs of the city is, imperative. The people have grown tired, and fully realize the futility of placing the affairs of the city in the hands of politicians. They want the same standard of efficiency and honesty in a public official that corporations and individuals demand from their officers and managers. And why shouldn't they --- Mr. Zimmerman believes that a "public office is a public trust," and not a private snap; that the people, who are the employers, are entitled to the concientious and faithful service of its servants. Mr. Zimmerman is able, energetic and progressive, and his wide experience in business and municipal affairs admirably fits him for the high office to which his many friends desire him elevated. Louis Zimmerman is an ideal candidate, and if nominated would be elected. The mention of some men for mayor in the daily newspapers cause a good many smiles, and cause others who never thought of such a thing before to wonder if they might not as well be "mentioned" too. Perhaps it might be as well for themselves for the members of the council who go out of office July 1 not to run again. Somehow the people don't seem to be stuck on the present council. Those mischief makers who came to Portland to stir up trouble among the mill hands owe the city about half a million dollars—but of course they neither can nor will pay anything. It is being whispered about to quite an extent already that Senator Fulton will not have a walkover by any means in the primaries next year but will encounter strong opposition. Dr. Brougher would be wiser to confine himself to-telling stories and making motions and never attempt anything in the line of argument. His head was not built for that. Probably Mayor Lane would like to wait and see whom the republicans nominate for mayor, but he can't unless he comes out later as an independent. The mayor really is not treating the democrats quite right in not saying whether he will run or not. But they may pretty safely assume that he will. Everybody in office or who have been in office is sure there has never been any grafting in Portland to amount to anything. Uncle Sam is liberal; he pays Representative Ellis $7,500 a year just the same as other members of congress. Mayor Schmitz was a union labor candidate and put a lot of his union labor friends in office. Mr. Preston will have plenty of opposition in the first ward. Are there going to be no contests over councilmen-at-large? Maybe the next mayor has not been "mentioned" yet.

E. Hargraves and wife former- ty of Omaha, are in the city and are contempfating residing here perma- nently. A very interesting meeting of the Luey Thurman Temperance Union was held Thursday evening at the residence of Mrs. Kate Gray. We hear it rumored that Mes- dames W. W. Wheeler, 0. L. Lynthe- com and J. K. Jones contemplate a trip to. Tonopah, Nevada, in the near future. Easter services will be held at the Bethel A, M. E. church Sunday even- ing at 8 p. m, under the superintend- ence of Dr. Merriman and Mrs. M. McAfee. "The postoffice department does not intend to draw the color line in the matter of white and negro railway mairlerks working together on the nm See. Easter exercises will be held at the Baptist church Sunday at 3 p. m. under the direction of Mrs. H. Red- mond and Mrs. J. N. Fullilove, Rev. Smith, pastor. ‘The congregation of the A. M. E. Zion church were pleased to see their efficient choir in their places again after a vacation of several months on account of the illness of the leading soprano. Rev. Geo. E. Jackson pastor of the A. M. E. Zion church did not arrive in time to conduct services last Sun- day. Rev. Barbour acceptably filled the pulpit as he has done during the pastor's absence. After being confined to his bed in the Good Samaritan hospital for one week Mr. Cubit Crawford our popu- lar horseshoer is able to be around again, although his foot is still very painful caused by blood poisoning. At certain terminals there are pro- vided dormitories in public buildings where the clerks may stay if they see fit to do so, but these are open to the negro clerks as well as whites, and the department does not see wherein it has any provinee in the matter. The particular objection which it is said the white clerks have in the association with negroes on long runs is that they are obliged to eat and sleep in the same car the regulations of the department permitting a clerk on such a run when his work is up, to rest. Do not forget the debate at the A. M. B. Zion church Monday, April 8th. ‘The public is cordially invited, sub- ject, “Which is the Greater Power Money or Character.” From the preparations being made by those to participate, an interesting evening can be anticipated. Mr. EB. Redmond at one time an employe of the Hote’ Portland, but jater employed by the Pullman Car Co. and in doing janitor work, dled Tuesday evening at the county hos- pital after a brief illness. He leaves a wife to mourn his death as well as a mother and sister in Omaha. Mrs. Wm. Rutherford’s brother and sister are here visiting her from the south. They are favorably im- pressed with the city. Invitations are out for a reception in thelr honor to be given at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rutherford, Thursday, April 4th, from 2 to 4 o’elock. Mr, H, Lawrence and family of 1409 Vuican street had the misfor- tune to lose by an early morning fire on the 19th inst a greater portion of their household furniture and wear- ing apparel. The fire was caused by an overheated stove setting fire to some garments hanging near it, The loss is in the neighborhood of $500. The St. Patrick social given on the 18th inst by the ladies of the A. M. E. Zion church was well attended. A short but excellent musical pro- Sram was given. The selections by our young orchestra were excellent showing the results of much practice and giving promise of much to be expected from the young people com- Posing the same. Although an intimation has been given the superintendent of the rall- ‘Way mail service that white clerks in the middle west are preparing to re- quest the department to effect a change so as to put the negroes on runs which will not bring them in proximity to the whites, it was stated today that no such discrimination could or would be made. | Euster services will be held at the A.M, E. Zion church Sunday evening at 8 o’clock p.m. The following per- sons will participate in the exercises: The Misses Ruby Lancaster, Edith Gray, Fay Hughes, Rilla Gray and Ethel Gray, Mesdames J. N. Fulli- love, Lulu Easton, K. Gray and D. M, Newman, Messrs. Mills, Ritter, W. H. Carter, G. L. Joell and Rev. Bar- dour. A very enjoyable reception was tendered to Miss Blanche Gonickey on Friday the 22d being the occasion of her 19th birthday. Union hall was very handsomely decorated, ex- cellent music was provided and after those present had enjoyed the even- ing tripping the light fantastic at 12 o'clock sharp ght refreshments were served. Mesdames G. Gray and D, M. Newman were the chaperones. The exercises at the A. M. E. Zion church last Sunday night were of an extremely interesting nature. The young people's meeting conducted by Miss Susie Crawford and Mrs. Lulu aston was well attended and of ab- sorbing interest after which the even- ing services were opened under the direction of Rev. J. W. Barbour. There were five divines present all of whom gave short addresses filled with fire and Holy Ghost, after-which Rev. Barbour delivered an excellent sermon, which together with the se- lections rendered by the choir was greatly enjoyed by those present. On Tuesday the 19th inst New Northwest Lodge No. 2554 G. U. 0. of O. F. was the recipient of a pleas- ant surprise given them by the mem- bers of the Household of Ruth No. 844. ‘The ladies came loaded down with goodies of all kinds from coffee to tee cream. ‘The hal}, was quickly cleared of the lodge fixings and a long table spread which was soon groaning under the weight of the bountiful repast and surrounded by the brothers and sisters. Poems were read by Sister M. E. Fullilove, the prelate and Dora Newman W. R. aft- er which a number of impromptu speeches were made by both brothers and sisters and all fell to and attack- ed the table causing the array of eat- ables to rapidly disappear midst sal- les of wit and humor. After a couple ‘of hours thus spent the jolly crowd separated anxiously looking forward to another similar gathering with their love for their order greatly strengthened. Late Sunday evening Robert St. Clair entered Jack's Cate at No. 385 Flanders street and engaged in a quarrel with a woman known as Belle Murray living in the north end of the city. Attracted by the dis- turbance the proprietor, Mr. C. Jack- son came in and caused St. Clair to Teave the room. No sooner had Jack- son returned to the kitchen than St Clair returned and attacking the wo- man cut her slightly in the hand and breast and was only prevented from doing more serious injury by the re- ‘turn of the proprietor who seized a catsup bottle and beat him over the head causing him to cease his attack and rush from the restaurant. ‘The woman was then removed to the hos- pital where she remained until next day having her wounds treated. St. Clair gave himself up the next day and has been charged with an assault with a deadly weapon. — It is reported that jealousy. was the cause of the trouble and the victim is reported to be unwilling to prose- Be St. Clair. RHODES’ NEGRO SCHOLARSHIP. | The Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that the negro race within the United States should be much comforted by the winning of the Pennsylvania Rhodes scholarship by one of their number, and that the white race should do some quiet thinking over the matter. | The young man who will go to Ox- ford on this scholarship is a resident of the city of Philadelphia— is about to graduate from Harvard—is the son of a weli educated negro and is the first negro in the world to secure ‘a Rhodes scholarship. Says the In- quirer: “Tt is interesting to note that he is likely to have no prejudice shown him in Oxford on account of his color. In England, where negroes are few, very little discrimination is made against the race. In this coun- try, even in the north, the reverse is generally the case, though we believe that at Harvard negroes have gen- erally complained little of unpleasant treatment. A few negroes have passed through the academies at West Point and Annapolis, but we believe only one is still in the service. “It is an interesting fact that the successful young man is the son and grandson of men who have been above the ordinary. This seems to discredit the theory held in some /quarters that while in snoradic cases ‘a negro can be educated and become ‘a successful man and worthy citizen, his children will, by the law of ata- |vism, revert to the earlier type and ‘be worse off than ever. There is no suntitieation in experience for such a ‘theory. All that is known tends to show that the more the negro learns ‘of all the things which make for good citizenship the better fitted are his children. This is sometimes difficult to appreciate because the great mass of negroes are so ignorant. “That the constantly increasing number of negroes unfitted for citi- tenship is a menace to the country fs undoubted, just as is the increase in the number of illiterate and degen- erate whites either in native rank or ‘among the Immigrants. The South is {puch concerned over the problem. PORTLAND NEW AGE EE ——$——— Many of the leaders are in a state of |woman.

The $4,000,000 Tonto dam and reservoir—one of the most marvelous engineering feats ever attempted—is being completed at Roosevelt, Aliz., in the heart of nature's wonderland. Towering mountains and wild, rocky canyons that have stood for ages almost unknown to man are being fitted into a harness of rock and masonry. Tonto dam will hold in check the largest, artificial body of water in the world—a lake 25 miles long, with an average width of 1½ miles. This store of water will some day change 200,000 acres of desert into a veritable fairy-land. Any fruit, vegetable or grain that will grow in the semi-tropical region thrives on Arizona's deserts—but only when there is water to irrigate it. The Tonto reservoir is on Salt River about seventy miles from Phoenix. Work has been progressing upon this great project four years. The total estimated cost is about $4,000,000.

These singing kettles have been The extreme delicacy of many scientific processes is indicated by the report of a government scientist at Washington, to the effect that bacteria are affected favorably or otherwise by the character of the glass containing the water in which they are suspended. Marked differences in the behavior of cholera germs were noted, according to the kind of glass composing the vessels used. The degree of alkalinity imparted by the glass to the water is believed to be an important factor in these experiments. Over 500,000,000 gallons of water are pumped out of the anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania every day in the year. The exact average for 1905 was 633,000,000 gallons a day. Nearly 1,000 powerful engines, delivering from mine bottom to surface 500,000 gallons of water a minute, are required. Mines may be shut down and coal production suspended, but the water flows on forever. According to the Iron Age, the cost of removing it is one of the important items of expense that make up the price of anthracite. Dr. Hauthal, a German savant, has put forward a startling theory concerning the remains of gigantic sloths, related to the greatmagatherium and the mylodon, recently found in Patagonia. In his opinion, these animals, whose race is now extinct, were kept in a domesticated state by the prehistoric inhabitants of Patagonia. A cave at Ultima Esperanza, where many indications of the former presence of the huge sloths have been found, is regarded by Dr. Hauthal as having been used by the ancient Patagonians as a stable for their beasts. Mexican employers and traders are complaining of the large number of obligatory holidays and others demanded by the work people. Our of the "365 days in the year 131 are devoted to obligatory and traditional idleness," they say. In the United Kingdom there are 52 Sundays and 5 bank holidays, a total of 57. If what many of the workers now claim is conceded, there will be 12 more—a fortnight in the year—making 69, or 62 fewer than are claimed by the Mexicans. But excessive holidays are injurious to worker and employer alike and a nuisance to the public. Coal is fossil peat. The peat-bogs of to-day might become coal beds in some future geological age. Professor Potonie of Berlin says there is strict parallelism between the different kinds of peat and of coal. When the remains of plants collect under terrestrial conditions, an ordinary peat bog is formed. This corresponds with "bright" coal. If the remains collect under water, an organic slime is formed, and this corresponds with "dull," or cannel, coal. When terrestrial and aquatic conditions have alternated during the collection of the remains, "strata-peat" results, and this corresponds with coal deposits consisting of alternate layers of bright and dull coal. The chemical and physical properties of the various kinds of peat and coal show a similar correspondence. The Japanese, who know so well how to add little unexpected attractions to every-day life, manufacture, in a great variety of forms, iron teakettles which break into song when the water boils. The song may not be a very perfect melody, but it is perhaps as agreeable as the notes produced by some of the insects which the Japanese also treasure for their music. The harmonious sounds of the teakettles are produced by steam bubbles escaping from beneath thin sheets of iron fastened close together nearly at the bot- servoir—one of the most marvelous en- g completed at Roosevelt, Arlz., in the ring mountains and wild, rocky can- unknown to man are being fitted into the largest artificial body of water in the average width of 1½ miles.

Sugar-Plum Was First Made and Called "Dragat!" by the Romans. The most ancient kind of candy is the sugar plum. It was the invention of Julius Dragatus, a noted Roman baker and confectioner who belonged to the family of Fabius. According to the New York Herald, it was in 177 B. C. that he made the great discovery which for twenty centuries has done so much damage to teeth. These bon-bons, called dragati, after their inventor (dragues, in French), remained the exclusive privilege of the family of Fabius. But at the birth or marriage of one of that family a great distribution of dragati took place, as a sign of rejoicing. The custom is still observed by many of the nobility of Europe. The pastille is of far later origin, having been invented and introduced into France by an Italian confectioner, the Florentine, John Pastilla, a protege of the Medicis. When Maria de Medici married Henry IV. of France, Pastilla accompanied his sovereign to the French court, where his bon-bons had a tremendous vogue. Everybody wanted the Florentine's pastilles, which were excellent. He made them with all kinds of flavors—chocolate, coffee, rose, violet, mint, wine, strawberry, raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope and carnation. Burned almonds are purely of French origin, owing their inception to the gluttony of a certain French merchant. One day Marshal Duplessis-Pralin, an old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, who had already invented many a toothsome dalty, to concoct a new bon-bon for him. Lassagne searched, reflected, combined, until finally he conceived a delicious bon-bon, which he baptized gloriously with the name of his master. Pralino, the French for burned almonds. TALKS ON ADVERTISING There is a lesson for every merchant in the experience told by a representative of a Chicago mail order house to a gathering of newspaper men in Iowa, says the Parsons Eclipse. He said that the mail order business depended entirely upon advertising. He made one remark that merchants should heed. He says they take the local papers and directed their special efforts to communities where the merchants are not up-to-date advertisers. If the mail order man finds that any line of business in any town or city is not well advertised, as, for instance, furniture, he said that they flood that territory with their literature and always with satisfactory results. He believed it true, he said, that country merchants could greatly cripple the mail order business if they would advertise freely and in the right manner. The country merchant should get wise.

First Day at School in China. A Chinanan wished to enter his boy at the school of a Scottish teacher in Pekin, and called at the educational establishment in question one day along with his little boy. The following amusing scene then took place: The Chinese gentleman was escorted to the reception room, and both he and the teacher shook their own hands and bowed profoundly. Then the teacher asked: "May I inquire your honorable name?" "My mean, insignificant name is Wung." Tea and a water pipe are sent for, and the teacher politely suggests: "Please use tea." The Chinese sipped and puffed for perhaps a quarter of an hour before he observed to the teacher that he should be overjoyed to learn the latter's "honorable name." My mean, insignificant name is Jones. "How many little stems have you sprouted?" This means, "How old are you?" "I have vainly spent thirty-two years," modestly replied the instructor. "How many precious little ones have you?" "I have two miserable little dogs," meaning his own children. "How many children have you in your illustrious institution?" "I have seventy-five little brothers." At this juncture the Chinaman deemed it time to get down to business. "Venerable master," said he. "I have brought my little dog here and worshipfully entrust him to your honorable charge." The little fellow, who had been standing in the corner of the room, came forward at this, put his hands on the floor, and knocked his head against it. The teacher raised him up and sent him off to school, while arrangements were made for his sleeping quarters and so forth. Tell me, did you ever banise? Monkeys climb a banian tree?

An Alcoholic Red Face. Among the questions that "I-want-to-know" people ask is one about the effects of alcohol. Why, they say, does the habitual use of alcoholic liquors make a man's face red? Alcohol, taken "The old man is well." Strange Sights. internally, stimulates the action of the heart, and consequently the circulation of the blood. This stimulated action of the blood shows more plainly on the face than on any other part of the body, because the nerve-system and the blood-vessels of the face are peculiarly sensitive. But alcohol also has a paralyzing effect on the nerves and the blood vessels, and its habitual use gets those of the face into such a condition that they no longer perform their proper functions. That is to say, they receive blood from the heart, but do not send it back again, as they do when they are in a normal state of health, the result being that the face acquires a chronic condition of redness. Moon Shadows. Many persons cannot understand why the shadow made by an object in moonlight is darker than the shadow made in sunlight. The difference is due to the fact that the light of the moon is not so strong as that of the sun. As light travels always in a straight line, a shadow, either in moonlight or in sunlight, would be intensely black were it not for the dispersed and reflected rays around the shadow. The darkness of the shadow is reduced by these reflected rays, and as the rays of sunlight are stronger and brighter than those of moonlight, they reduce the darkness more. It is the dispersion and even distribution of the sun's rays through space, and their reflection from the dust particles of the air, that make daylight. Was Sorry. Parent—Are you sorry you called names after that boy next door? Freddie—Yes, mother. He can fight twice as well as I thought he could. CATECHISM OF A TOURIST Globe Trotter Gives Results of His Travels to His Paper. A globe-trotting journalist of renown has written a tourist catechism in a German paper in which he sets forth his observations on the countries and the people he has visted. His answers are ingenious and they may be correct, but they would seem to convict him of being a Swede. We quote the following: "Where do you find the most comfortable passenger trains?" "In Russia." "But where are they kept in the best condition?" "In Sweden." "Where is the railroad traffic managed with the least noise?" "In England." "Where do you find the best railroad restaurants?" "Where are the most comfortable steamboats for longer voyages to be found?" "In Germany and England." "Where do you find the finest and best arranged steamboats for shorter trips?" "In Sweden." "Where the finest restaurants and cafes for moderate prices?" "In Copenhagen and Stockholm." "Where are the best automatic restaurants?" "In Stockholm." "Where the worst quick lunches?" "In America, particularly in Boston." "Where are the finest bathhouses?" "In Germany, Austria and Sweden." "Where do you find the truest politeness and dignity among the people generally?" "In Sweden, particularly in Stockholm." "Where the opposite?" "In Italy." "Where do you find the most pollite and well-bred children?" "In Sweden, Norway and Denmark." "Where the opposite?" "In Italy, Little Italy, but particularly in South Boston." "Where do the young men have the fine t figure and the handsomest features?" "In Italy and Sweden, particularly in Stockholm." "Where are the handsomest women?" This question the writer, who appears to have gained some experience of life, does not answer—Boston Transcript. Economical Smoke. "Why are you always strutting about with an unlighted cigar in your mouth? Haven't you got a match?" "Yes, I have a match, but I get a good deal of pleasure out of a dry smoke. Though it costs me nothing, I think I get a third as much pleasure out of a dry as a real smoke. "I started dry smoking the first of the year to reduce my cigar bills. You see, I used to get away with nine or ten 5-cent cigars a day, and my wife kicked. At first I got no pleasure out of my dry smoking, but I persisted in it, and now I experience real pleasure as I chew unlighted cigars. "Best of all, from my wife's point of view, I have cut my ten cigars a day down to three." Like a Green Bay Tree. "Married several times, hasn't she been?"

First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopeia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years' experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned, little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. WE REPEAT THAT, AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same, whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value. BAD BLOOD THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased conduction as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all disease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. is the best remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, supplies the healthful properties it needs, and completely slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature's greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and bark, and is absolutely harmless to any part of the system. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class drug stores.

Book on the blood and THE SWIFT Shirt Protector. When a man buys a dress shirt nowadays he can depend on the bosom being absolutely spotless, since, owing to a new device that has been thought of, the shirt is protected from the touch of solled fingers that so often were wont to leave their mark on the fair surface. This new style of protection consists of an envelope of transparent paper that is large enough to hold the shirt, keep it absolutely clean, and yet enabling one to see the size numbers through it. Without adding much to the cost, the envelope is a great economy to the dealers and makers, since with its use there is never any cause for the return of shirts to the factory that have been solled in the handling, as there is in the case of collars and cuffs. Damages vs. Repairs. In a trolley accident in New England an Irishman was badly hurt. The next lay a lawyer called on him and asked if he intended to sue the company for damages. "Damages?" said Pat, looking feebly over his bandages. "Sure, I have thim already. I'd loloke to sue the railway for repairs, sor, av ye'll take the case." -Youth's Companion.

A young bridegroom, after the wedding was all over and the bride's old father had gone off to the club, began to search anxiously among the wedding gifts. "What are you looking for, dear?" said the bride. "That $2,500 check of your father's," he said anxiously. "I don't see it anywhere." "Poor papa is so absent minded," said the bride. "He lilt his cigar with it." Winston Churchill, the novelist, described at a dinner in New York the difference between realism and romanticism in fiction: "To make my meaning clearer," Mr. Churchill ended, "I will take the case of a young man and a girl—sweethearts. The young man, a romanticist, said passionately to his girl: 'Darling, it shall be my life's one purpose to surround you with every comfort and to anticipate and gratify your every wish.' The girl, a realist, smiled faintly as she answered, 'Oh, Jack, how good of you, and all on $$ a week, too.'" It is recorded of the Earl of Mansfield that he once dismissed a servant, but wrote for him a "character," as follows: "The bearer, John ——, has served me for three years in the capacity of coachman. He is an able driver and a very sober man. I discharged him because he cheated me." A day or two later the man returned to thank his old master for the help he had afforded him in getting a new berth. How had the testimonial helped him? The man explained that his new master had observed that ability to drive and sobriety were the qualities he required in a coachman. As for the cheating, his employer had said: "I'm a Yorkshire man, and I'll be hanged if you cheat me." One day a gentleman came to Webster's office and consulted him in regard to a prospective lawsuit. At the close of the conference he paid the attorney a retainer of $100 to look after the matter. Upon returning to his place of business he found that his partner had already settled the suit, obtaining the sum demanded without an attorney. He thought $100 was altogether too much for an office fee, so he dispatched his clerk to look after the subject. "Mr. Webster," said the young man, "my employer thinks you should return a part of your retainer. That case .as been settled." "Young man," said the lawyer, "you go back and tell your employer that a retainer is something to be retained." HOW EVANS SAVED HIS LEGS. Admiral Robley D. Evans was a mildshipman in the civil war and was badly shot up at the attack on Fort Fisher. He was taken to the hospital in Norfolk, where he overheard a surgeon say to his assistant: "Take both M. ROBLEY D. EVANS. his legs off in the morning." Bob managed to secure a revolver, and when the assistant appeared the next day the midshipman at first protested against amputation, but in vain. Then he pulled his revolver from under the pillow and told the doctor that it had six cartridges and that if anybody entered the place with a case of instruments six men would be killed before the operation began. The legs were saved. Flour Preserved by Compression. In England much interest has been shown of late by the army and navy authorities in a new method of preserving flour by means of compression. With hydraulic pressure apparatus the flour is squeezed into the form of bricks, and experiments are reported to have shown that the pressure destroys all forms of larval life, thus preserving the flour from the ravages of insects, while it is equally secure from mold. Three hundred pounds of compressed flour occupy the same space as 100 pounds of flour in the ordinary state. Great Room Without Columns. The largest room without columns is said to be in a solid concrete building at the mosque at Lucknow, India. It 162 feet long, 54 feet wide and 53 feet high. The timber mold was left a year for the concrete to set and the building, 122 years old, is still unimpaired. Truth is a searchlight that makes many a man try to hide behind his shadow. No Apology Needed. "I hope our running the graphophone last night didn't annoy you," said the renter of the third floor flat. "What?" responded the new renter of the fourth floor flat, producing an ear trumpet. "I say it's a fine morning," bellowed the other, into the trumpet. PILES CURED IN 6 TO 14 DAYS.
