Sacramento Union. At Grant's Pass. Or., a special munlci ,pe! eloctlon was held the other day for the rwrnose of determining whether or net the city should accept the gift of a $WtOM Horary building . from Andrew Carnegie, and by a close, but emphatic veto, the tfft was declined. This is the rocond rebuff of the kind which Mr. Caraecle has had from the State of Ore gen. Some two or three years aro the effr of a large sum was made to Port lend for a central library, but it was aucMned with thanks, on the rround that Portland had already a fine library, and that It preferred not to be under obliga tions to any nonresident for a purely do meetfc institution. In these rejections we see the effect of a. doctrine which the Portland Oregonlan has been preaching for many years to the Oregon people. The Oregonlan does net believe very much in free things. It holds to the Spencerian doctrine that that -ronton a man gets for nothing Is likely to do Mm little good; that the effort to get things is even more Important In Its re letlens to personal character than the possession of the thing desired; that -whatever a man really wants In the way ef literature he will find a way to get, and that he will be all the better for get ting It without anybody's help. These arc obsolete notions obsolete In the sense that they are cherished by few and practiced by still fewer. But It Is jvn easy as a matter of cold philosophy From It Come Discontent, Quarrels, Divorce. Chicago Inter Ocean. Mrs. Sarah Rorer, whose cook book Is a standard authority In many thousands of American families, and whose recipes have done much to promote domestic hap piness, is convinced that, while eggs are at once palatable and nutritious, they are a fruitful cause of matrimonial infelicity. The trouble with eggs is that they are too easy to cook. The housewife who is inclined to shirk work will cook eggs when she should bo cooking something else, because eggs may be cooked with so little trouble, and in so many ways. Eggs as food are heavy. They bring on Indigestion and lassitude when too fre quently eaten. The wife who eats too many eggs Is more' and more Inclined to cook them, whllo the husband who is fed too often on eggs is more and more in- IMPROVEMENT IN IRON! BETTER DEMAND DUE TO EX HAUSTION OF SUPPLIES. Continued Cold Weather Offers a Needed Stimulus to Retail Trade in Clothing and Other Apparel. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. R. G. Iun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say: Seasonable temperature and holiday pur chases stimulated trade, mokingvresulta more satisfactory fiurlnc the past week than at any recent date. The Improvement was most con spicuous In heavy wearing apparel and kindred lines that have remained dull because of the mild, weather. Another encouraging feature was the resumption of work at the New York mills, although there is still much Idle ma chinery, especially In the textile and Iron In dustries. In view of the numerous wage re ductions, there is noteworthy harmony between employers and workers, indicating that the labor leaders appreciate the necessity of shar ing In the readjustment. Grain shipments Increased with the approach- ELECTED DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF HILO, HAWAII FOREST GROVE, Or., Nov. 27. (Speclal.)-John U. Smith, well known In Oregon, has been elected District Attorney for tbeCounty of East Hawaii, according to & let ter just received by his cousin, Br. C. L. Large. Mr. Smith is a, native Oregonlan, having been bom in 1SCS, in Tillamook County. In 1690, at Napavlne, "Wash., he was married to Miss Mattle E. Koontz, who alto graduated from Pacific "University In 1SS9. with the degree of B. S. They have two daugh ters. He Is of pioneer parentage, bis father having crossed the plains in 1839, and his mother, six years later. His father, Sidney Smith, vrho died in the Chehalem Valley in 1SS0, was a son qf a Revolution ary Captain, and the grandnephew of Ethan Allen, of Ticonderoga fame. He Is a graduate of Pacific Uni versity class of '88. with the de gree B. S., and received his l.IB. degree from the law department of the University of Oregon In 1890. Ho Is a Mystic Shriner, and Is nov warden of the lodge of A. F. & A. M. at Hllo. Of a stanch Democratic family, Mr. Smith's services to 'the cause of honest money In the great struggle of 1896 were recognized by President McKlnley In his appointment as United States Commissioner In Alaska. After his return from the North Mr. Smith went to the other extreme and entered the practice of his profession at Hllo, Hawaii, with what success his recent preferment tella. . dnnnnHntlnBtnhl 5T John U. Smith. -4 clined to complain because of 'his con stantly increasing dyspepsia, without knowing exactly what he is complaining about. Hence sharp words are used at the breakfast table which rankle all day. Hence wives become discontented. Hence husbands become cold. Hence fault-finding, open quarrels, divorce. All on account of eggs. If fewer wom en ate egga for breakfast, Mrs. Rorer tells us, "homes would be kept more tidy, hus bands would be better satisfied with their helpmeets, and the quarrels would be re cited less frequently in the courts of the land." There is as much discord in the regu lar eating of eggs as there Is In the over consumption of them, Mrs. Rorer hastens to add. "If a woman should eat one egg for breakfast each morning It would be too many. The morning meal should be varied." Unhappily, as she says, few wom en understand this. They change the style of cooking, but they stick to eggs. One day the eggs are boiled, the next fried, with "the sunny side up;" on the third day the eggs are shirred, next day there Is perhaps an omelet, next day eggs on toast, and next day maybe the eggs aro hard-boiled and sliced. And so on from week to week and month to month, un til the domestic hearth Is blighted. In. these days of prepared and predi gested breakfast foods this should not be the case. Indeed, the housekeeper of our time Is so much better provided for than were her mother and grandmother in the way of things done up in neat packages which require even less skill and labor in the cooking than eggs that there is little excuse for a lack of variety at the break ing close of navigation on tho Lakes, and freight trade was subjected to the greatest pressure of the season. But there is less than the customary complaint of delay. Railway earnings for three weeks of November averaged 5.2 per cent larger than last year. It Is at last possible to perceive an Improve ment in the demand for pig Iron, due to the exhaustion of supplies by consumers, the ex tensive reduction In output and absence of further price concessions. Failures this week numbered 25S in the United States, against 213 last year, and 14 In Canada as compared with 1G a year ago. buyers still hold off, although negotiations are on foot for billets, bars and rails for export. Neither cotton nor woolen, materials have ex perienced increased demand. New England shoe and leather Industries are quite active. Unfavorable influences are felt by reason of the prospect for a reduced Pennslyvanla soft coal output next week, but the attitude of or ganized labor at Chicago, Fall River and else where In accepting necessary reductions of wages is regarded as a favorable Indication. Farmers will not be hit by prospective trade depression, owing to good crops. Southern planters will profit unprecedentedly through the high price of cotton. An enormous Quantity of cotton Is waiting to be marketed. Cotton re ceipts are larger than anticipated at some points. East of Chicago railroads report a notable Increase of business, due in part to the close of navigation. General trade shows more snap, owing to colder weather. This applies to the conntry generally. There Is some dullness In parts of Texas, and the export demand for cereals 1b slack. Chicago reports that holiday buying throughout the West promises to exceed all records, and that seasonable commodities are being ordered freely In spite of high prices. Philadelphia bankers look for a fairly favor able business for six months to come. Farmers and merchants In the region tributary to St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth have had six years of continuous prosperity. New York gro cers report a good demand for high-class sta ples. Through the South Jobbers are reported buying with conservatism. Trade at Montreal Is improved, owing to the rush prior to the close of navigation. Collec Uons are only fair. Holiday trade Is brisk at Toronto and the demand for seasonable goods Is active, particularly furs and woolens. The bank statement shows that call loans have been contracted. BETTER REORDER BUSINESS. More Interest Is Noted in Holiday Goods. NEW YORK, Nov. 27. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: Continued cold weather has offered a needed stimulus to retail trade In all seasonable lines, but particularly clothing and wearing apparel. This, In turn. Is reflected In better reorder business with Jobbers at Interior centers, who also note more Interest In holiday goods, fancy groceries, furs and kindred lines. In wholesale trade, features are the rather stronger Vne of cotton goods, which ae neld more firmly by agents, and a little better feeling in woolen goods. Firmness of prices of agricultural prod ucts was another element which Is to be taken account of. The agricultural Interests and those Interested In distributive trade seem at present to be having their innings, and appear well situated, whereas the manufacturing and industrial branches send forth nearly all the unfavorable reports. The prosperity of the grain and food-producing populations North and West. and of the cotton, lumber and naval stores Interests at the South Is, In fact, the chief basis for the conservative confidence In the general business outlook expressed by many observers. There are some good points, even among the industries. Although Iron and steel production Is limited and shutdowns are numerous, there is a rather better tone, particularly to crude Iron, due to the growth of the feeling that prices are now on the bottom. Lumber Is quiet for domestic trade, but export demand Is active. "Wheat. Including flour, exports for tho -tfeek ending November 26. aggregate 3,871,767 bush els, against 2.074,277 last week, and 4,179,685 this week last year. Business failures In the United States for the week(flve days) ending with November 20, 'num ber 167, against 234 last week and 182 in 1902. In Canada, failures for the week number 13, as compared with 10 last Week and 16 In the like week In 1002. .Mrfft fc& PPI :: WJAl :: 1 United States Attorney Summer, Of ficial at Omaha, Neb., Scored by Attorney-General Knox for Conduct in Senator Dietrich's Case.

And, if It is true that eggs are responsible in a large measure for domes tic infelicity, it is the plain duty of good wives to cook and serve them less fre-quentlj-, so that people who are striving honestly to do right In this world may be reasonably happy though married. Let In Philippine Products. Chicago Tribune. Senator Lodge has Introduced a bill to admit Philippine sugar and tobacco at SO per cent of the Dlngley law rates instead of 73 per cent, and 40 let in free all other Philippine products. Why dole out conces sions grudgingly? Why not give wholly and at once that freedom of commercial intercourse which must come In time and thus give at an earlier day to the islands the greater prosperity which that Inter course will bestow on them as it has on Porto Rico? The reason why freedom of trade is denied is because some beet sugar manufacturers and some tobacco growers object to it. They pretend they will be harmed by It. The mass of the people give no thought to the subject. Now that fighting has ceased In the Phil ippines they practically forget that the islands belong to the United States and that It is our duty to do the best wo can to help them. Y.

Special telegraphic advices from correspondents of the Inter national Mercantile Agency regarding tho state of trade throughout the "United States and Canada are summarized as follows: Improvement is shown In industrial, agricul tural and commercial lines. Pittsburg looks for general gains in demand for iron and steel from now on. except for iron ore, pig Iron and bil lets, and In the latter after January 1. In fin ished forms the situation Is contradictory imd SOME COSTLY WEDDING GUTS. Could Not the Great Outlay Involved Be Vastly Better Placed? New York Mall and Express. Perhaps it Is nobody's business that the wedding gifts in the Roxburghe-Goelet case are valued at 51,000,000. But a great many people, finding that these gifts themselves were lying In state, as It were, for 24 hours or more In the Goelet man sion, and were at the same time being de scribed with great particularity in the papers, are very much inclined to make it their business. A million dollars in wedding gifts prompts the whole American population to ask Chlmmle Fadden's question. A mil lion dollars Is a large sum. It would found a college. We have colleges enough, but It would also comfortably furnish 6000 American worklngmen's homes. As there are probably more than C000 deserving American couples, within reach of the abounding information about these nqta ble nuptials, who are postponing marriage because they have not money enough to furnish a tenement, the unfortunate sug gestiveness of all this magnificence is ap parent. What a hit would be made, on the occa sion of the next marriage between an American multi-millionaire's daughter and an English Duke, if all wedding gifts were foregone, and some hundreds of worthy young people's homes were furnished! The thing would be perfectly practicable. Let the intended bride announce the scheme In connection with her wedding in vitations. No gifts, but In their place checks from all guests, who should be dis posed to give for the benefit of a fund to furnish young working people's homes. Imagine the eclat of that wedding. Not only would the bride be disburdened of the gold and silver plates that she does not want, and all the duplicate necklaces, tea services, silver-framed mirrors and other burdensome superfluities, but a whole list of American homes would be prepared for happy occupancy. The rivers of pearls and gold dinner services that we read about will soon be forgotten. A marriage signalized by such a benefaction as this, or by the devotion of the gift money to some other worthy purpose, would never be forgotten. The bride and groom would be blessed through life by a world of good wishes quite be yond price. WORK FOR WAR COLLEGE Floating Dock Nearly Ready. Many have been wondering what has be come of the floating drydock, which the Port of Portland Commission has had 4n hand for so long that it appears to have been forgotten. Contractor Wakefield, who has been building the structure near Vancouver, was asked yesterday how it was progressing, and said that it was practically completed, and would be ready for use early next month. It Is now so near the 1st of December that he probably meant that the dock would be ready early In JanMary. Perhaps when it Is brought here it will be towed up in front of the city to give citizens a chance to see what It looks like. BLISS URGES DETAILED STUDY OF MILITARY PROBLEM.

General Bliss recommends that a num ber of officers be selected, at stated inter vals, for the study and the working out of a great war game. The officers chosen, he says, should be selected from those who would play, an Important part in the execution of plans adopted In the event of war. In the selection of officers for post schools. General Bliss thinks no dif ference should be made in the cases of West Point graduates. General Bliss recommends that every encouragement be given to the officers of the organized militia to pursue the courso of study laid down for the post schools, and eays "In this way the schools will perform the additional function of insur ing tho maximum number of trained reg imental officers for our large improvised armies in times of war."

DOCTOE POISONS HIMSELF. Reputed Heir to the Austrian Throne at the Point of Death. DES MOINES, la.. Nov. 27. Dr. Carl Helnrich Hoffman, who was reputed to be the heir to the Austrian throne, and who became well-nigh famous by reason of his resignation from the faculty of Drake University rather than divulge his true name, lies at the point of death at Mercy Hospital tonight, suffering from the ef fects of blood-poisoning, which ho con tracted In performing a post-mortem examination before a class at Still College. While bending over a body, with his hand in the stomach, his elbow accidentally came in contact with Infected flesh and poison entered his system through a cut in his arm. Pressure Is being brought to induce the doctor to tell his life's secret, and It is believed he will do so in case he becomes convinced that his recovery is hopeless. The impression generally prevails that he Is a son of a member of the nobility somewhere in Germany in the vicinity of Heidelberg, and that he came to America after a family quarrel. It is known th'at he became chief chemist for the steel company of which Andrew Carnegie was the head and that he was Injured in Carnegie's employ. In a moment of delirium he has be trayed the fact that he was traveling under an. assumed name, but that was as far as he went. He Is the acknowledged leader of Iowa Pathologists and Physio logical Chemists. Indian Outlaws Captured. BUTTE. Mont, Nov. 2S. A Miner spe cial from Plains, Mont., says that a com. mand of 50 soldiers yesterday afternoon captured Joe Morrigeau, who, with a band of Nez Perces Indians, was defying the Government agents in the collection of taxes on cattle, of which Morrigeau owns a large number. Trouble was anticipated, but the Indian offered no resistance and permitted himself to be placed under ar rest. Unless Morrigeau pays taxes at once, it is understpod he will be expelled from the Flathead reservation. The troops returned to Missoula early this morning. He Was All Wrong. Kansas City Star. A story was printed in the Eldorado Re publican about a woman drummer at a hotel there who fleeced three traveling men of 5364 at poker. A week later Bent Murdock met the woman drummer on the train, and she showed him the clipping and called his attention to several errors. She said: "In the first place, I did not call the young gentlemen 'Jays' at all; I called them lobsters. In the next place, I did not win 5354. My total winnings for the evening were $363.75. Otherwise the item is all right. Eastern and California Races By direct wires. We accept commissions b, phone from responsible parties at Port land Club. 130 5th street. A Matter of Teeth. V. C. He was 1 a Cornish miner, and he went to the local dentist to have a trouble some tooth drawn. "I want a tooth held out," he announced, with a fine air of unconcern, taking his seat In the chair of torture and opening his mouth for In spection. "Which one is it?" asked the dentist. 'Thlcky there, I reckon," he re plied, pointing a coal-grimed finger toward the one which seemed to him to be the seat of torment. There was brief si lence, a long, sickening wrench and out the supposed offender came. "Why, this isn't the one, man. It's perfectly sound," said the man with the forceps.

Stage-struck girls with visions of mid night suppers, boxes of candy and roman tic novels will probably be shocked to know that Miss Rose Shay, the Cincin nati girl who manages her own opera company and sings the leading roles, spends all her leisure hours, which are not many, in the study of history.
