No better lesson could possibly have been given regarding the necessity of a fire alarm system than that of yesterday afternoon, when it was almost impossi ble for a time to discover where the Are really was, even the Bremen at first darting to a portion of the city remote from tho fire. They, however, got there just the same and in a remarkably quick manner considering the out-of the-way location of the conflagration. The South Siders made their debut, and, it I" said, by their ( Hurts saved Mis. Hart's residence. It is thought tho fire was itarted by children playing with matches, as no other cat.se can bo as signed, and they were seen coming hur riedly from that direction as the fire broke out.

Tho program chosen waj particularly pretty and tho little ones did their parts exceptionally we'll, while the assistance ler.deied by the choir a ided much to t!:e exercises. Th of fering taken was for the church edu cationa! fund. It would seem tint tho Shult family have decided to partially shut down on newspaper work, regardless of the loss which the newspaper Geld sustains by this decision. S. P. Shutt, who for some time has been publishing . the Snr.ipter News has disposed of that paper to Edward Young, who will con tinue its publication under the new name of Blue Mountain American. We trust with the charga of name will not follow a change in nature, for we have watched with anticipation the coming of the News, which always contains some thing of in'erett. The lone Herald, edited by E. M. Shult, has alt-o been sold to ' Georgo S. Parker. E. M., however, will not leave the newspaper field altogether, but, as far as we have learntd, will oulir.no as the racyriter on the IIeppnr Times. The council at Eugene has passed an ordinance prohibiting the wearing of hats and bonnets at all entertainments. Eugene is behind the tunes; that question has long since been settled by the ladies in The Dalle?, and seeing they were so magnanimous, their gentle men trienda are about to spring tbe church hat question on them. It is very evident they are determined to down the milliners. This will no doubt give tbe advocates ot woman's rights a strong argument on w hich to base their assert! n that woman positively has no rights when even her Easter bonnet must be dircaidcd. Might as well put a quietus on Easter altogether, and do away with church services. It does not seem to bo "one by one" that death Is claiming old and young of our oitv ; but its ravages are becoming more dreaded every day as resident after resident is called away. This morning the summons came to Mrs. Emilie Harper, w ife of Hiram Harper. She has been suffering from heart trouble more or less of late, but this morning died tuddtmly about 10 o'clock. She was about 68 years of ngo and came here from Meadow brook, Kan., seven years ig She leaves a hnstiand, one son in the Eaef, and James, Henry, William and John residing here, to whom her death wai a great shock, coming so unexpectedly. She was a de voted Christian and u very estimable woman in every sense of the term. The funeral will take place Wednesday, but the hour has not yet been determined. 0 all tho steals that were ever "istoled," there is certainly n steal that will compare with ono thut robs a cemetery of the flowers that have been placed there to beautify the last nsting ulace of loved ones.

N- particulars were obtained concerning the snicido other than that it hud occurred Sunday. Messrs D. M., J. W. and S. French, who left here in company with C. J Craudall yesterday for Hood Riyer, for tha pnrposo of examiuicg the water power at that place and determining the advisability of obtaining power from thut source to be used at tho electric light plant here, report very favorably as to the result of their investigation. Rnv. and Mrs. G. Hashing and A. G itoering will leave ou tomorrow morn ing's boat for Turner, in this state, where they go as delegates from the Christian church of this city to attend the state convention of that church, which convenes at Turner on Friday, the 23d, and continues in session for ten days. They will be accompanied by Miss Grace Smith, who has been visit ing with Mr. and Mrs. Rushing for tho past week. J. N. Compton, who was charged with larceny from a dwelling, had his hear ing before Justice Bayard yesterday afternoon and was bound over in the sum of f 100. Bonds being furnished he was released from enstodv. It seems that Compton entered tho homo of J. C. Campbell, of VVapinitia, on the 24th day of May and stole various household goods, among which was a stove, which it was proven bv the testimony that he had taken. This morning the river here stood at 40 8, ii rlae of two feet, and has con tinuid to rise outing tbe day. the re port says it will Btand at 44 Friday; and that while the river will continue high for several weeks, tho maximum height will probably occur this week. Cooler weather will prevail during the mxt two days. This morning the rivers stood as follows: Lewiston 20, rise of 1 foot; Wcnatchee 37, rite of 1.5; Northport 23 3, rise of .9; Umatilla 24.6, rise of 1.2. ST. MARY'S ACADEMY EXERCISES Every iiiaWr dut aad th Eatlr frufram a Traat. is really with h a inn that Tun CnnoNici.K publishes a reward notic for tho apprehension of anyone stealing flowers or anything else from the O ld Fellow. cemetery ; but it Is a fact nevertheless that of late many flowers, vases, etc., have been taken from graves by those who are not worthy to be termed human beings. Other thoughtlessly pluck U' A urers which aro grow ing on graves and appro priate them for other graves or carry them away. This seems almost Incredi ble, but It is no l.-fs trn. It U a dim cult matter for tho sexton to bo a police man In oil parts of thu cemetery and n delicate matter to call tho attention of persons to fucfc thrt ; therefore" the warning iJ puhlished. We must add, however, thatin Ibis case surely adver tising n ill be of no arail, for It cannot be that any reader of Tn CnuoMoi.it would dresm of suili an offi nx. Tuenluy Dally.

It does not compaio with tho experience of the people in Sherman county yetterday. At Wbcj it fairly blew the front off the O. T. Company's store and made things lively for a time, while at Biggs the sand was torn up al a terrific rate. Down the river they had a joung cyclone, mid trees were twisted and torn out at tho roots in a fruit orchard ttiere. There ia one man in town who can stop the tow n clock ; and that is W. 11. tiarretson. We wouldn't have thought so, I lit ho so informed lis this morning, nud for threo days following the resi dents of the city must keeptheir watches l:i good order, as they will not have the town clock to depend on. Like many individuals, tho time pieeo must havo its year y bath, and Mr. Garretson will eeo that it comes forth with clean hands ami fucj n ml in good condition to keep tlm for us for some time to come.

The trouble with the Demo cratic editor was that he needed protec tion, aud while intently looking for the silvery trout, he stepped on a free trade log and "washed Ids form," being swal lowed np in the Republican whirlpool named after a Republican congressman, thereby spoiling his chanc of getting even a nibblr.

All were delimited who attended the closing exercises id St. Mary's Academy Fi iday night, lor kIiIiouU tl.e entertain inents givi n t y lliem are always first class, that uf l tut evening reached a de gree of excellence perhaps never before attained. Particularly noticable was the prompt manner in which the pro gram was carried out, ni tedious delays taking place, but everything moved like clock wort, which was uiuoli appre ciated by the audienco as the evening w aa a'most uncoutfoi'.ably warm. The stage had n prettily decorated for the occasion, an immense amount of flowers being used ; and w hen the cur tain arose and four pianos were displayed stationed thereon, all knew they were at least to have a musical treat ; and thev were not disappointed, for the first num ber was a piano trio by twelve young ladies, and during the evening "several well executed selections on the pianos were given and two splendid renditions by tho lull orchestra, w hich plays re markably well for children of their years. It is difficult from such a program to select numbers especially worthy of mention. Tho "Bow and Arrow Drill," by the little boys w&3, we might say, perfectly executed. Indeed, it is dif ficult to understand how smell children can be so chilled. 'Reminiscences of Tenneycon," where Ins "Bio Bugle Blow" was acted most gracefully by nine utile girls, iittired in apprcpriato costumes, while one recited it distinctly and with expression, was beautiful, and the "Scripture Scene" of the ten virgins was as pretty a conception as we have ever seen, w bilo the grace dir-played in tho tableau was captivating in the ex treme. Very touching and pretty also was the pantomine "Angel Visitants,1 which was so well performed as to leave no doubt as to its meaning even had the solo been not so well rendered behind the ccenes. "A Cinderella Plot," a one-act sketch, was well acted by the young ladies, not to forget the little ones, who assumed their parts equally well. It was in tensely interesting, and showed much histronic talent among the pupils, as well as careful training from the teachers. 'Too cute for anything" was the ver dict regarding the good night drill by ten little tots in night gowns and caps, carrying their dolls and candles. They kept time perfectly and sang so sweetly, that everybody wanted to hug them. When the last little one crept into bed, it was amid a round of applause. The tepicht.s and pupils of .the school must have given much hard study and practice to each number of the program, and deserve much credit for the re markable euecsss attained.

A Most Eillmnble Woman raliel to tier Howard. Monday's Dally. There are times when, after long months of patient suffering, death comes as a welcomo visitor, and its stin Is re moved by the thought of the test which follows. Such was the case of one who qoietly breathed htr last at the early hour of 12:35 this morning, and ns Mrs. Phoebe Httight said good night to the friends who watched over her here, she also said good morning to those on the other shore. For seven months die has been a con stant euftVrer from stomach troubles, which ballled everv tllort to overcome them; but not a complaining word has escaped ber lips, and the beauty of her Christian character has been so evi denced that it has fairlv awed those who attended her. If during her life everyone with whom she cama in con tact was led to admiro her womanlineis end consistency under cverv circum stance, this admiration was intensified when the last months e f her lifo called for a heroism which was rematkable. Left alone, with no kith or kin to soothe her dying pillow, only the loving ministries of friend?, she carefully a I- lsted ever matter of business and find ing that her relatives who live in Con necticut, could not- come to her, she soeunsd determined to bt'nr up ami go to them. Everv thing was made ready for the long j mrney, but He wIiobu behest? noiio daro to dispute overruled the human plan?, and ciiled her to make that j mrney from wheiica no traveler re turns. Mrs. Phoebe Jano Halnht was born in High Prairi", Conn., forts-two years ago. Little li known of her early life by friends here; but, in company with hfr late husban l,C. K.

But not alone within its membership was she beloved ; but be ing thrown for years in a business way with every class of citizens in The Dalles, she commanded tho highest respect and ad miration.

The funeral services of Mrs. Phtubs) Haight took place this afternoon al 2:30 o'clock from the Methodist church aael were largely atteuded by tbe number less friends of the deceased. The Epworth League choir sang three selections, which were especial favorites of Mrs. Haight's, and were often sung by her during the first months of her illness. Rev. J. II. Wood, her pastor, gave at short history of her life, particularly of her devotion and Icyalty to her re ligious belief. He then took as his text these words: "In my Father's hou?a are many mansions. If it were nol so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare thousands who have tiiionged into these ! a place for you I will come again and mining districts, and Ihe few who have realized ono-half of what they expected, does It not seem that men aro fool hardy to risk everything to pursue such n phantom? Mr. Duller says that there are a elis hcrtened lot of people in the Atiln dis trict. That while thoro is much gold there, the stories have been mag nified greatly, and not one out of a hun dred will get out of it what ihey put in. The same is said to bo true of the Klon dike district, according to reports brought out. Ia the Atiin there are sections where the ground never thaws, end is extreme ly bard to prospect. On Birch Creek, thiiteen miles from Atiin, where Mr. Butler was located, from the 13lh of April till the 7th of Juno there was not a night when it did not freeze, and two weeks ago eight inches of snow fell. The story regarding the famous $20, 000 claim of Capt. Sperry was, like many others, a hoax, and men who are prospecting near there sunk a hole seventeen feet deep and took out $2.85, which it cost about $300 to prospect.

Tho young man and Georgi Merry, acompamoi, were traveling on a river steamer, w hen Keith ia alle ged to have abstracted $23 from the pocket of bis friend, probably while intoxicated. It was for this crime the young man was sent to prison. Tbe commutation of tho sentence was recommended by the trial judge, the dis trict attorney, ex-Gov. 7j. F Moody, receive you unto myself; that where I am there yo may be ulso." Speaking of the mansions be said thers were enough for each, although millions had gone before. Christ has prepared a place and opened the way for all ; indeed, He is the way. His glory will be the central idea of lifo beyond. While we may ting of meeting the friends beyond, yet when we reach the homo above, the beckon ing hands of Christ will bo a sufficient welcome. God has not tell us among the shadows, but his love has "told us" of tho mansions prepared. And these mansions and the hope beyond was the comfort of her whom now we mourn. Although having uor.e who were dear to her by ttio lies of natura to follow her to her last resting place, her remains were tenderly cared for by loving hands and hor chief mourners were the mem bers of the Good In'ent Society to whom she was as a sister, and who covered her grave with the flowers which betokened their love.
