Margaret C. Gearhart, wife of the
founder of Gearhart Park, died at the
naane asylum last Monday, aged 83
years.
The CnROXiCLK finds it?elf greatly in
debted to J. T. Neff, J. Hovre, C. R.

ing reports of the institute,
No. 1 is op to her old tricks today and
was nine hours late. In order to pre
vent paesengerg the long delay conse
quent, fcur cars of connecting lines pas
sengers were brought through at
o'clock on a special.
Mrs. Eila HigRinson, the poet, met
with a serious and painful accident
while bicycling recently. Ill crossing
Squalicum bridge, at Whatcom, which
is doable boarded, the wheel left the
first laver of boards, throwing Mrs.
Iligginson and breakinger ankle,
The following appears in an Eastern
paper: "Henry .V. Corbett, United
States senator from Oregon, came to
New York in 1814 and worked in a (tore
in Catherine street for $3.50 a week. He
slept under the counter, swept the
store, and Baved a dollar a week."
Dr. and .Mrs. U. U. Uoane leit on
veaterday'e afternoon train to spend tc
day with the doctor's parents, Rev. and
Mrs. N. Doaue, at University Park,
where they are to celebrate their golden
wedding anniversary today. Rev. Doane
was pastor of the Methodist church in
this city during the 'GO'S and still has
many friends here who extend their con
gratulations on this auspicious occasion.
The Metropolitan opera house in
Portland will be reopened October 1st
with the Hallett-Ross slo-k company,
under the management of Hallett, Ross
and Thomas. The two former were
leading members of the Shaw company
when in this city, and in this departure
that company will suffer a great loss.
Scott Se.iton, who is with the Stnckwell
company, will probably j.'in the Ag
gregation. The executive committee of the Hook
and Ladder boys' ball havo gone to work
in earnest, and, having districted the
city, will distribute tickets, for sale
Monday. They will call on you, feeling
that you are only waiting for an oppor
tunity to help them, and yourselves
as well. It is not the intention to slight
any, bat should anyone be mUsed, let
them make it known and the mistake
will be rectified. When they call upon
yen, receive them with open arms.
One of the most pteasant features of
the institute was the luncheon served
by The Dalles teachers to their guests
in Acalemy Park today. The arrange
nieDt of the tables in the cool grove was
pntty Idea, and the artistic manner
in which they were spread was lufflcient
to overthrow the old mistaken idea that
teachers are not versed in domestic
duties. No skilled bonsewlie could have
given better service than that on this
occasion. About 115 were seated at the
tables and mid iiearty good cheer they
dimonstrated the fact that food for the
mind is not sufficiently satisfying. The
linch was dainty, comprising tvery
tMug palatible which could be served in
tht in inner.
Monday the fall term of our public
Mhools will be.in, with J. 8. Landers as
city superintendent and .J. T. Neff as
principal. Everything looks encourag
ing for a successful year, and many have
novel in from the country to place
their c'lildren In school. No betteY
schojls could be found than those of The
Dalle, an I parents can do no better
to stop right here. It is quite
necssjarf that where It is al all con
silient pupils should be on hand at tl e
flrt day s session, thus saving much
tronule to the teachers and beinj a
reat advantage to pupils.
Tha fire of last night proved bow help

t'O'it the nearest fire plug being within
nv or sis blocks of last night's con
flgration. The main should be ex

aissioners have not been able to afford

bill is
so rpireely settled that they have
'"uiy felt warrauted in doiug so. Home
In that direction should be made,
however, and It would seem that It
honld be inaugurated by the residents,

Such tooting and screaching of
whistles as occurred at 1 :20 o'clock this
jnornlng was enough to waken a town

B dloverlng la what locality it was,
uai so aeceiving Is such a blazs that it
was soms time before those who re
mained down town determined that it
was the old Harris house, just back of
their present residence, and which was
occupied by J. CoheD, who runs a racket
store in the Eist End. Mrs. Cohen aud
the other members of the family were
absent and only Mr. Cohen and his
little boy were in the house at the time.
They have no idea how the fire orig
inated unless from fire which bad beta
left in the stove or from a lamp which
was burning. WUn they discovered it,
they bad just time to save themselves,
and one of them grabbed a feather bed,
so that al! their furniture and belong

were destroyed. The Mt. Hood llo;e
Co. reached the scene, but could do
nothing as there are no fire pings in that
vicinity, the nearest one being about a
block this side of F. H. Rowe's resi
dence. The South Siders also started.
but seeing how useless their trip was,
abandoned it. Mr. Cohen was insured
for $50,), and Mr. Harris also baa some
insurance.
Monday's Daily.
W. S. Chipp, formerly of this city, but
recently of Arlington, has moved to
Sucopter and is employed in W. C. Cam
era's grocery store.
EJ Marshall, who was arrested about
three months ago for stealing a horse,
and confined in the county was
this morning released, his bonds of $150
having been forthcoming.
S. E. Van Vactor, formerly of this
city, was made "notoriously public"
Saturday, by the governor of the state,
He is now licensed to listen to all the
swearing going on in Gilliam county.
Summer's come again. A lady said
today she didn't realize it was warm
until she consulted the thermometer
and found it stood at 93. Yesterday it
was two degrees cooler. This is a con-tinued-in-our-next
summer.
tomorrow the new second class cr
tourist rate from Portland to Chicago
over the Northern Pacific will go into
efftct, being $4G, a reduction of 3.50.
Other companies will no doubt follow
suit. The first-class rate will not be
disturbed.
The wrecking train was called out
eirly ye9tcrdav morninc. the trouble
b?Ing the derailment of three wheat
cars on an extra west-bound freight.
The scene of the accident was near
Cdlilo, but no special damage was done
and no cne injured.
The wedding of Mr. Frederick Wolf,
of Pendleton, and Mies Clara Condon,
daughter of Prof. Thos. Condon, is an
nounce dto take place in Engene Wednes
day. Miss Condon's childhood days
were spent in The Dalles, where she has
manv friends who wish her well.
The coroner's jury in the case of
Frank Finnell, who shot and killed
Thos. Moran near Antelope a week ago,
found a verdict of cold-blooded murder.
No clew as to the whereabouts of the
murderer has been obtained, though
deputies are still in search of him.
Yesterday the open season for fishing
began and the wheels are all ready for
the reception ; but the salmon evidently
havn't heard of the opening, or else sal
mon isn't the prevailing shade. No
doubt the lead-ers down the river have
offered extra inducements.
Arthur Eubanks, who has been driv
ing to The Dalles for Mr. Alvord for
several months past, has resigned his
position and moved to The Dalles where
he expects to make his home. Erntst
Phillip, of this city, now holds the rib
bons in Mr. Enbank's place. Golden-
dale Agriculturalist.
And now Sumpter is to have another
. 1 1 i n J it ft..
newspaper, whicu win ue caueu ine
Sumpter Miner." We hope the Miner
will strike it rich; but if he does he'll
be the first newspaper man to do so.
The small towns seems to be having a
boom in newspapers and every little
berg must have at least two.
Frank Cram left Saturday night on a
Union trip. His Dalles friends are
greatly pleased to know that the busi
ness is of such a nature that when he
returns he will bring with him a former
Dalles tt-irl who was always a lavorite
and who will be gladly welcomed as she
comes to make her home with us again.
Even in our little city the verdict in
thefarcial trial of Dreyfus was awaited
with the deepest Interest, and when the
Telegram reached us Saturday night
and the news spread yesterday morning
all were as disgusted and chagrined at
the verdict of guilty as though it were a
case that had been tried in our own
state.
In the Ciibo-nicle today will be found
an advertisement fir the exposition to
be opened In Portland September 2tb
and continued a month. All East Ore
gonians are Interested In the exposition
and will obtain mnch information con
cerning It by reading the ad. Those who
have visited Portland say the people
there are making special effort this
year to make It a success.
The different congregations of our
city each seemed to have especial treats
In the way of sermons yesterday morn
ing frorr the complimentary remarks we
have heard. Rev. Oilman Parker, a
Baptist missionary, spoke at the Calvary
Baptist church Interesting his congrega
tion greatly. Re. Idling at the Con
gregational church, gave tery able
and most pleasing addresi on "The
Hand that Wrote," drawing from Be -shaztir's
fate lessons for each of his
congregation. At the Episcopalian
church. Rev. Leslie speke on '-Struggle
for the Mastery," and all who heard him
were particularly tikeu with the indi
vidual manner in which be treated the
subject, bringing forth so manv ortVinal
ideas in such a scholarly way. Kev.
Rushing also gave two able sermons.
The closing exercises of the institute
Saturday night were perhaps the crown
ing ones. Prof. Ackerman'i address to
the teachers was one calculated to give
them, and all educators, new xeal and
start them out in this year's work aright.
He is a pleasing speaker and a favorite
with his teachers. The institute was a
eucrcs in every way ar.a the result was
gratifying to Snpt. Gilbert and his
co- woi kers.
Justice Bjyard holds his head ft little
higher than usual this morning and juel
merely deigns to speak to ordinary peo
ple, as perhaps some of our "lesser"
neighbors have noticed. The causa for
this elevation seems to be that he had
the honor of performing ilcKinley's
marriage ceremony last evenine al 6
o'clock at the Faimers' hotel. This,
however, proved to be A. McKiuley, of
Bake Oven, and the bride, Mrs. Mary
Young, of the same locality.
It seemed like old times yesterday
afternoor, when we were privileged to
again attend a band concert given in the
Court street school yard, and manv
availed themselves of the opportunity
The selections were well chosen for the
occasion and rendered in such a manner
as to cause all to hope that we will often
be favored w ith a Sunday afternoon con
cert. In the absence of the leader, Rev.
Poling assumed the leadership. These
concerts are greatly appreciated. Come
again.
'One more unfortuuate, wearv of
breath, "endeavored to put an end to his
existence yesterday afternoon at the D.
P. & A. N. dock. He was a man from
Pendleton whose name we could not
learn ; but who had been injured in a
runaway some tin) since, which made
life a burden. The deck hands twice
prevented bis jumping into the river,
and kept a strict watch on him. This
morning he was taken down on the
hoat to Linuton, where bis relatives
reside.
The school bell is again calling the
children to the halls of learning and
this morning they could be seen coming
from every direction with hooks under
their arms, wending their wav to the
school houses. The rooms were filled
this morning, and while on the opening
day last year there were C38 enrolled,
today there are C80, a gain of 44.
Teachers of some ot the grades have
been exchanged to other grades, but no
changes except in the case of the super
intendent and principal hare been
made in the personel.
It is nearly always the case that when
tickets are being sold for any entertain
ment or function to be given for the
public welfare, thosewho bave that duty
to perform are treated as if they were
working for their own benefit and as if it
were a favor to them to purchase a t icket.
Now, this should not be the case when
the committee calls upon our citizens in
the interest of the Hook and Ladder
dance. Any who attend will have over
a dollar's worth of pleasure, and those
who do not will receive a thousand times
that much benefit when the new riggin'
conies.
The terrible clang of the fire bell has
been heard too often to be appreciated
recently. Yesterday morning as resi
dents were preparing for morning ser
vices, its tones rang cut, summoning
the fire boys to the Seufert & 'Condon
telephone office. Their services were
not needed, however, the intense smoke
which was attempting to escape from a
clogged chimney causing pasiers-by to
think there was fire between the walls.
The boys "got there" In a hurry and
puiled the hose up stairs, but no water
was turned on as it was soon proven to
be unnecessary.
The fall salmon season promises to
open very auspiciously for the fishermen.
A good run of fish is known to be in the
river and several fine specimens have
been taken within the past few days'hy
nets used in Ircating snags on the mid
dle river. The price of salmon for the
fall season was set by C. B. Treecott, the
cold storage man, on his visit in Astoria
Thursday evening. Mr. Treecolt in
structed his buyers to pay two cents
pounds. This is considered a good price
by the fishermen and will give general
satisfaction. It is believed the cannery
men and the other cold storage plants
will pay the same price. Aslorian.
Last evening at the Catholic church
Rev. L. Conradi interested a large
congregation, speaking to them of his
missionary work in India, Japan, China
and particularly on the Sandwich
islands at Molokal, the leper settlement.
We have all heard so much of the won
derful self sacrifice and untiring seal of
Father Damien at that place, and to
hear one speak who assisted him In his
work after the good father had con
tracted the terrible disease was intense
ly Interesting. In 1885 he became a
leper and In 1887 Father Conradi went
to his assistance, remaining with him
till bis death on April 15, 18St), ad
ministering holy communion to him
every night at twelve o'c'ock dur
ing his last illness. His works
however, lived after htm and the
good that he did for those po "n
fortunates Is beyond calculating. On
three
miles long and one mile wide, where
they are doomed to remain dying by
inches he administered to them. And
yet he says they are not so unhappy as
mttfht It ilnBinml lnl ati.L.vn. t.t
maketh.mo.tof th. situation. From
there Father Conradi went to Japan and
then to the dreadfnl leper settlement in
China, which he says is so much worse
than on the islands. There they live In
dugouts in graveyards and the filth and
degradation is terrible, beyond compre
hension. It I his intention, if possible,
to study medicine and return, to do
whatever he may. He is "how on hi
way to England in the hope of obtain-
j ing financial assistance there. The
father is evidently en anti-e xpansioniet,
in which we did not agree, as perhaps in
one other statement regarding the civil
ization of the world ; but minor matters
of politic or doctrine must be laid aside
when we consider the noble woik of ihe
good man who is willing to give up his
life for the good of these poor leprous
people.

The members of the Epworth League
will give a reception to their pastor,
Rev. J. H. Wood, tomorrow evening,
(Wednesday) in the church. All mem
bers and friends of the church are in

Mrs. T. J. Driver, daughter, Mamie,
and son, Volney, have returned from
an extended visit to the family of David
Cooper, near Mt. Hood. While there,
they spent eight days in the vicinltv ol
Lost Lake, and Mrs. Driver says there
are tons of huckletterries in that section,
and black berries as w til. She also says
it is one of the most delightful places to
spend a vacation she has ever visited.
The improvement and enlargement of
the show windows at Pease & Mays' is
more noticable now that they are
dressed, giving them ample room to dis
play goods. The immense corner win
dow is today filled with the latest fall
dress goods, which show off to the very
best advantage. The appearance of the
building is also much improved thereby.
Dalles people have every reason to be
proud of their dry goods stores, as every
visitor to the city mentions their superi
ority over the stores in cities of the
same size.
The sidewalk in front of the old Full
ton property leading to the bluff, wiiich
was mentioned by the Chronicle re
cently is being badly in need of repairs,
Is now being improved, much to the
satisfaction of those who are daily com
pelled to walk over it. Look about and
see if you havn't a sidewalk which
should be repaired. Neat residences are
constantly being erected in our city,
making it attractive, but just so long as
our sidewalks, streets and alleys are
neglected and unkept, the town will
have an appearance which will he of
fensive to visitors and all who come in
contact with them.
Saturday afternoon at the Methodist
conference in Spokane, Dr. G. K. Brown
said to the ministers: "Don't cry
God don't want men to bellow in the
pulpit. A crying preacher is a min
isterial baby. Be lavish with your
emotions in their true sense, but don't
cry." One minister asked : "It it al
ways possible for one whose soul is
filled with emotion to check the tears?"
"No. I never said a word about tears ;
let tf.em come. I only said, don't bellow
in the pulpit. I heard a minister tell
five deathbed stories In one sermon;
was that right? That's brutal. Pathos
is a good thing, but when a man comes
nut of a graveyard every time he
p eaches, it is infamous."
The committees who have on sa'e th
tii-kftts for the ball Friday night are not
altogether delighted with the success
they are having, and some of them have
risked their lives to save the property of
the very men they now ask assistants of
with a great deal more bravery than they
use in requesting them to purchase
ticket which will assure them a pleasant
evening and help to again save their
property In future years. While the
Chinamen, who live In some one's else
shack on Front street, have responded
liberally, many citizens who have valu
able property lu the city, have
purchased one and two tickets, and
some none. This is not as It should be.

scarcely prepared for his latest venture,
and are still in doubt as to his intent,
as it hardiy seem appropo nor is it
kU-tomary for a man in his poition to
go about introducing kissing bugs. And
yet it is asserted that he appeared at the
Umatilla house last night with the
identical article. What it has to do
with agriculture, hoiticulture, or ai y
other kind of culture they would like to
know, and if he intends to start a colony
of kissing buss hereabouts it is only fair
that he should inform his lady friends,
who never dreamed that a man of
Judson's aggressiveness would need such
a side partner. Wonder if Judson
thinks such an Industiy in The Dalles
wcii'd be more substantia! than an evap
orator. Tru ly the O.R A N. is branching
out into new lines of business.

The Dalles t j make their home. When
Miss Etta left this city scarcely a rear
ago, it was with deep reirret that her
friends parted with her, for she w a ever
a lavorite. Always pleasant, with a
kind word lor all an! foremost in every
good and charitablo work, she endeared
herself to all and 'tis not surprising that
he who is now her husband eaw in her
much to admire and that would certain
ly make her a perfect helpmate and
companion. Mr. Oram, who has spent
the greater part of his life here, is pos
sessed of those qualities which cannot
f;iil to demand the respect and admira
tion of his friends. Always industrious
and energetic, steady in his habits and
affable both to friend and acquaintance,
he cannot fail to be all that is desired as
a husband. The young people have the
hearty good withes of all, and will be
weicomed in The Dalles as thev come to
make their future home.
An Item has been going the round of
the country press to the effect that the
aluminum wires now in use so ex
tensively by thetelephouecompanies.are
no good and copper wire wilt have to tie
substituted. This assertion Is said to be
decidedly false. While the company
has experienced much trouble with the
line from here to P, Ineville, it w as not
because the aluminum wires are not first
class, but because a mistake was made
in the mannt- of putting them up. Per
haps a more difficult route could not be
found than that to Pnneville, where the
wind has full sweep and the elements
have undisputed sway. These wires
were stretched too tight, and being so
susceptible to climatic conditions con
traded and snapped whsn the weather
became the least bit cold. Now that
they have been slackened no difficulty
is anticipated and the company does
not expect to employ but one repairer
on the line. The Snonualniie Fall

Two men came near losing their livee
on 5-Mile bill Sunday night by an ac
cident which occurred just as they were)
going down the grade to the old Thomp
son place, ro owred by Ketehuru.
James Eagan and F. X. Cin, of Piine
ville, were taking out two wagons leaded
with fre nl.t, which wer drawn ly s x
horses. It seems that ihe former, who
was driving, had bem driukin, and hie
companion warned him a ha drove
down; but he failed to take heed.
Finally the front wagon tipped over,
throwing both men out and scattering
the freight promiscuously. The driver
escaped with little injury, but Cain was
in a terrible position, being pinned
down by the wagon and directly against
a barbed w ire fence, which penetrated
his legs just above the knee. He re
mained in this position for three-quarters
of au hour before help came to them
from the people w ho live in the Ketchum
place. Then it was found necessary to
dig out underneath him in order that he
might be extricated.
He was taken to the house uncon
scious and Dr. GeisendorlFer sent for.
when it was discovered, beside thi
f lashes from the barb.-d wire that he
was
hurt internally. The doctor made
another trip lust evening, and, strange
as it may seem, is of the opinion that
he will recover.
Th Theatre from Ilia Inild.
That there are five thousand theatres
in America, and that one million and a
half people attend them each week-day
night, spending seventy million of dol
lars a year ou theatre-going, are the sur
prising facts with which Mr. Franklin
Fyles, the dramatic editor of the New
York Sun, will open an important series
in the next issue of The Ladies' Home
Journal. The series will he called "Th
Theatre and Its People," and will run
through seven numbers of the magazine,
lavishly illustrated with pictures made
by twelve different artists. The articles
will treat of every phase of the theatre,
the play and the actor, from the inside,
and wilt tell how a theatre is managed;
the actuil money which plays have
intde; how an actor is trained and what
actors are actually pi.id ; how a play is
written and what the authors leceive;
bow a plav is rehearsed ; the first night
of a play; how the actresses "make up"
and what they use; and in a minute
way the two last articles will show what
goes on behind the scenes on the stage
during a performance. It is a curious
fact that this will be the first time that
the theatre and the actor have been ex
haustively treated in a magazine, and
that there is no book on the subject in
existence.
