He occupied pulpits in New York and Washington previous to being cnliP-l to St. Paul's in Duluth, where his re markable faculty for organising and discharging executive duties soon made him a man marked for preferment.

H. prtHcnce waa magnetic, her mannem graclou and winning, her arguments clean cut and forcible, and her fer vor and enthuHlasm awrpt aside nil piejudlce. and left her nilMrvna of her situation." In her death Oregon has sustained on Irreparable loss. Not only does the temperance cause lose Its most able ad voeute and Its wisest counsellor, but the church loses one of its most conse crated and efficient helpers. Kduea tiiinai institutions also surrer loss, an sh was always on the alert to further their Interests In any way possible, The social circle has also to yield up one of Its most brilliant ornaments. Her Inlluence will long be felt through out the state. The Kev. Huber Ferguson, of Port land, writes: "The cause of Christ In the Northwest, both in Its negative as peel, which Is the destruction of the powers of evil, and In Its positive as pect, which Is the widening and deep enlng of the rule of grace In human hearts has lost one of Its great cham pions." W'e. In our weakness, are lead to ex claim: "Help, Ixird. for the Godly man ccaseth. for the faithful fall from among the chlldre nof men." But we know that the work Is His and though sorrowful bow In submission, knowing that though the workers fall the work will go on. An eichange thinks that the rescue of the passengers of the steamer Bus- sle "goes far toward wiping out the memory of the Paris bazaar fire." Does it not rather emphasise the contrast between tho heroism of the fishermen of the French coast and the fashion able cowards who left women to per ish in the fiames? rittsburg Dispatch Teas Coffees ' Spices Extracts Soda.

One of the cl-vrr'-at of confl ience men has been operating her for two wieks, In a lurge and small way, though the extent of his d.-als cannot be definitely learned at this time. It Is known that he has "done" several individuals out of sums of money rang ing from XZ.'M to 1100, and Incidently defrauded his landlady out of a board bill. This geniu of crookedness came to the city about February 7 and put up at one of th; hotels n-gist .-ring us John P. Morgan, Jr.. and representing him self as the son of the New Yolk mill ionaire banker and billion dollar trust liromuU-r. A strong resemblance to the pictures of J. IiToiit Morgan gave color to th- statement and he nan tak en seriously by the f.-w- p-Tsons to whm he went so far as to divulge his identity and his business, lie gave out to these few that l.e was In the employ of the Imdoi:-American Mining and Investment syndicate, with which con 'ern hi father, John Plrrjioiit Morgan, Is heavily interested, as a mineral ex pert and flnam lrfl agent, whose buM-in-ss It was to look aft.-r the various mining properties of the syndicate lo cated In North and South Amerh-a, Ku ropc. Ai'ia, Africa and Australia. He acted, according to his story, as in spntor for new and undeveloped prop- erti'S, and recommended any mineral inter sis to the syndicate, negotiating these d-als himself and handling in this way between IM.OOO.OoO and 60.00, - Oefl a year. He was In Astoria ostensibly with vli-w to looking ovr the coi! prospect? In the lower Nehalem country, his pur pose being in case coal deposits of I value were discovered In that district. to secure them for the syndicate. His first concern lure was to organize a crew of half a dosen men to accom nanv him to the Nthalem on his tour of inspection, and this crew, on prom Ises of liberal salarl.-s, was readily enough secured. He Intimated that the crew should remain with him perma nently and go -with him to China shortly after the Nc-halem Inspection. T each member of his crew he stat cd. "on the quiet," that up In the Okonagnn country of northern Wash ington he had made some very valua bio mineral discoveries: that he had filed on several of these, using fictitious names; that it was his desire these properties be secured to the syndicate, and that he was willing that these fictitious names should be replaced with the names of his crew, provided each man would agree to act In good faith with Mm, and when the time came transfer his Interest to the syndi cate for a consideration of $20,000 or J25.000, the probable value of each, prop erty. A further stipulation was that the men should pay the Amall fee of $6 for filing and as this was "only fair" It Is probable that every man of the crew, and probably a score or more of others about tow n, came dowm with the stuff. He decamped early yesterday morn ing. leaving a board bill unpaid and a giHid many Individuals who would like much to know something of his where abouts. "Mr. Morgan," as he styled himself, Is a man of medium" height. well built, with a shapely head, sandy mustache, and a face that shows In telligence. He dressed in a black suit doubld breasted coat, though sometimes wearing trousers of mixed gray stuff. He was very quiet and retiring In his demeanor and impressed one as a man of culture. He has no bad hab its of the common sort; neither drinks nor uses profanity or vulgar language, He is a good conversationalist, an ex cellent story teller, and recounts In the most dramatic and fascinating man ner his many wonderful experiences in the cities, mining camps and wilds of the worll.

North Pacific Brewery FIRE DESTROYS CL4TS0P MILLS Originates la Engine Room and Rapidly Spreads. '.':'' ' LOSS MAY BE $75,000 Disaster Came In Busy Season When Mills Were Ronnlnf Msht and Dy. The saw and planing mills of the Clatsop Mill Company were destroyed by fire last night and but for a favor able east wind springing up when the ilainea were burning fiercest the en tire plant would probably have gone, together with a large part of the lum ber stored In the mill yards. As It Is, the splendid mill and their equipment is almost a total loss and five freight cars In the loading shed were also destroyed. The loss will approximate IV5.000, though no definite estimate could be made last night. The plant is' well Insured but not sufficient to cover the entire loss. The origin of the fire is uncertain. To. some time past the mill has bcn running night and day to keep up with orders and last night there was a shift of seventy-five men working. Shortly before 10 o'clock flame were noticed in the engine room and before ny effort could be made to subdue them, the room was a blazing mass and the men had barely sufficient time to escape from the building. The fire alarm whistle attached to the plant was so,inded and the entire fire department was summoned. By the time they reached the mills the Ilainea were beyond control and the on ly thing possible was to prevent them from spreading if Dosnfble. The mill. which was a two atory structure, burn ed rapidly and fear was expressed for other buildings in the neighborhood. To the east was the box factory, which h.is burntd twice previously, and It seemed like the intervention of Provi dence that a strong east wind should blow up. at a time when it could do the most good. With this assistance the firemen had no difficulty In keep ing the flames under control. Of the freight cars In the shed three were loaded, the two empty cars having been run in when the down freight ar rived in the afternoon. . , It was impossible to estimate the value of the finished lumber or raw material lost, but a conservative ap proximate estimate places the entire damage at $75,000, though It may ex ceed that sum. The mills have been built for sixteen years and the oper ating company is composed of Mrs. W. S. Kinney, manager: H. F. Praet, pres ident; M. J. and L. C. Kinney. Several freight cars on the tracks opposite the mills were damaged slight ly by the flames. A GENTLEMAN'S SMOKE Is what a cigar Is.
