C, a meeting of. tho Young Men's Christian Associations, of tho Pa cific northwest. Astoria will be ade quately represented by a delegation from thiscity Next Saturday Carl A. Han- sonthe president of the Astoria associa iiontiir'fleliver an address before the convention on the theme, "What can the Young Men's Christian Association do foi sailor's?" Horace Thing received the following dispatch yesterday afternoen: "$7.30, good until 21st: regular fare $13.50: have arranged for special cars. Leave Astoria 8 a. si.; will detain Lurline at Kalama to meet returning firemen if fifty desire it. Jas. T. Gray." That means that fire men and others going to the Tacoma tournament can leave here at 8 to-mor row morning on the Lurline, connect at Kalama with the train to Tacoma, rounu trip, S7.30, and if fifty or more wish the Lurline will wait at Kalama, Thursday night for the returning train. The body that was found on tho beach at Kalama last Saturday has been identi fied by parties from Portland as C. Heoles, a Greek, who has been running a fruit stand in Portland, for the past few 3'ears. Ona of the rnen who identified him claims to be a nephew of the de ceased, and says that the dead man was very wealthy, and had between 5.000 and $6,000 on his person when last seen about fifteen days ago. He says the last he saw of him was at the Northern -Pacific depot, where he bought a ticket for Tacoma. The bruised place over his eye shows that there was foul play, and the general impression is that he was mur dered for his money. They say that he bad an overcoat on and had the money iu his coat pocket, but when the body was found he had no coat or vest, and only $2.69 in small change could be found. Here is a case of Oriental justice that can hardly bo outdone for sharp and sub tle discriminations. Four men, partners in business, bought some cotton bales. That the rats might not destroy the cot ton, they purchased a cat. They agreed that each of the four should own a par ticular leg of the cat; and each adorned with beads and other ornaments the leg thus apportioned to him. The cat, by ah accident, injured one of its legs. The owner of that member wound about it a rag soaked in oil. Tho cat, going too near the fire, set the rag on fire, and, be ing in great pain, rushed in among the cotton bales where she was accustomed to hnn,t rats. The cotton thereby took fire and was burned up. It was a total loss. The three other partners brought an action to recover the value of the cot ton against tho fourth partner who owned the particular log of tho cat. The judge examined the case and decided thus: "The leg that had the oil rag on it was hurt; the cat could not use that leg in fact it held up that leg and ran with the other three legs. The three unhurt legs, therefore, carried the fire to tho cotton and are alone culpable The injured leg is not to be blamed. Tho three partners who owned the three legs with which the cat ran to tho cotton will pay the whole value of tbjt-bales to the partner who was the proprietor of the injured leg." Tho A. li. Field brings.sonie line honey from Tillamook, a land of milk and honey as well as big timber filings. This Tillamook honey is genuine, which is more than can bo said for some honey. There was a time when honey was honey and honeycomb was honeycomb, but, like everything else, somo boo raisers wanted to get rich more rapidly. It was found that paraffine closely resembled beeswax, and after many trials combs were produced which were scarcely dis tinguishable in shape from tlioso built by the bees themselves. It was then found that when these artificial combs were placed in the hives the bees took to them as if they were of their own making, and tilled them with honoy. This plan once in operation became a great saving to bee culturists, as the bees no longer had to make their own comb, but were able to put in all their work making honey. Of course now and then somebody ob jected to the quality of tho wax, but the bee raisers never minded any little thing like that, and they thought they had struck the acme of success until they made their next and greater discovery. This was that glucose, or grape sugar closely resembled honoy in appearance and was a very fair counterfeit as far as taste was concerned. Then there ap peared in the market paraffine honey comb filled with glucose honey and tho occupation of tho bee was gone. The first attempt was simply an adulteration of honey with glncoso, and tho proportion of tho latter was gradually increased un til thero was little or no honey. Pare honey is accordingly scarce nowadays. Siuslaw Fishing Trouble. The troublo between the cannerymen andlfihermen at Florence is practically, settled. The prices now paid are less than what was first offered but the men concluded to go to work for whatever they can get. A gentleman who came in from there last week says the cannery is paying all the way from 25 cents to 55 cents, and some of the men are still fish ing for themselves and salting what they catch. There is a good run of salmon and the boats make a good catch every flight. Eugene Register, 11. . . Shorthand. Private instruction by practical ver batim reporter. Years experience. Chas. E.

C, Truth, of the 6th, has the following relative to their fire brigade that will participate in the coming tournament at Tacema: In tense interest and almost unbounded en thusiasm are the feelings of the fire brigade here anent the forthcoming tour nament in Tacoma, on tho 16th and three following days. They have been training steadily for somo time now; at present they have two practices a day, olio in tho morning at 6 and the other in the evening at 7 o'clock. This is to be the order of things overy day until the departure of tho team for the scene of tho contests. The men are doing their part well and appear at tho hall morning and evening with a zest which unmistakably indicates their intention to acquit themselves in a manner that will surprise their neigh boring teams and reflect honor on their city. Mr. Woods is coaching the team, and feels quite confidant that, provided no unforeseen hitch occurs, they will re turn home with full wads or a vivid recollection of a "big time" on the other side of the line. If they take the prizes they have reasons to anticipate, it will need a two-inch steel wire to hold them down. The representative team is com posed ef: George Scoullar, captain; Samuel Woods, foreman; George Pitten- ulrigh, John Stirsky, John Oliver, Guy nau, wiinara Aiurray, uaviu uray, Thomas Hill, John Mauson, William Albro, Benjamin Anderson, David Mitchell, Robert Ross. Thero was a practico last night at 8 in the firo hall, when the men devoted themselves solely to booting tho record on tho dry test. Tho show of form was good, and tho men themselves wero quito satisfied with tho time made. Scoullar uncoupled in a little under three seconds, ancfone or two others came pretty near him. He is in splendid form and goes about his work in a manner that proved that he had trained to some purpose. In uncoupling and attaching nozzle, the best time was again made by the captain and his colleague, tho process being fin ished in four and one-half seconds. If this can be done at the competition, the New Westminister boys will have reason to be pround of themselves and their coach. The teams of the neighboring cities are training for all they are worth, and the competition for tho prizes will, in all probability, bo exceptionally keen. It will be one of the best competitions ever held on the coast. TOURISTS, Whether on pleasure bent or business, should take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs, as it acts most pleasant ly and effectually on the kidneys, liver and bowels, preventing fevers, head aches and other forms of sickness. For sale in 50c and 1.00 bottles by all lead ing druggists. Givins Itself Unnecessary Worry. The press of the Willamette valley are almost uniform in advocating the raising of money to assist the Astoria railroad. After it is completed they will take to writing editorials on the subject of ex orbitant freights and fares; and-the gran ger who most liberally subscribed will elect himself to the state senate or house and speechify and introduce bills grind ing the grasping monopoly to the dust, and forgetting all about the time when he and his neighbors wined and dined the president and officers of the com pany and toasted "long thrive the rail way." He will also complain that the corporation don't build depots and pay taxes, and burns his grain and don't pay the damage and tears his fence down and runs over and kills his stock. But then, just now, the honest granger hasn't got his glasses on, and the country edi tor ha¬ yet merged his weekly into a metropolitan daily, nor quit dreaming of things earthly. Examiner, 11. ADVICE FROM BELOW STAIRS. "Bridget, I would give all my wealth for half of your health." "Sure, ma'am, you need only give $3, for that's the price of six bottles of 'J. V. S.,' as the boys call It. Joy's Yegetablo Sarsaparilla will make you as strong as me, ma'am." Mrs. J. Barron, of 142 Seventh street, Saa Francisco, writes: "I have been taking Joy'a Vegetable Sarsaparilla with immense benefit, It Is perfectly splendid to build up nervous, run-down and worn out women." Mrs. Fred lay, of 327 Ellis street, Mrs. G. Werner of 235, Berry street, and hundreds of othera relate the same experience with tho pure vegetable Juices of this California compound. Fire Engine Contest. The arrangements have been agreed upon for the water throwing contest be tween Capitals' fire engine, of this city, and the Tacoma engine. " The agreement is that each engine is to attach to a hy drant at 10 o'clock in the forenoon next Wednesday, the 18th, and at a signal by telegraph each is to commence throwing with an inch and a quarter nozzle and con tinue fifteen minutes; then report by tele graph the distance covered. After a rest they are to commence throwing with an inch and an eighth nozzle, again report ing by telegraph the distance: this is to end the contest, which will be simply for trophies and'honors.
