AT ST.PETERS A large congregation jttended St Peter' church last night' orf the occasion of Bishop Wells' visitation. After singing the first hymn, James Wylie Dalton was baptized by the rector. After another hymn having been eung, the Bishop preached a forcible and eloquent sermon on the Resurrection and its practical ap plication to the lives of Individual christ ian. The confirmation of candidates then followed, and a class of eleven was presented to the Bishop by the rector It was a very impressive and touching sight to see the candidates kneeling for the apostolic laying on of hands by which the Holy Ghost was given and imparted to each one. According to ancient cus tom the girls were dressed in white dresses and wore white veils. The Episcopal church is very conservative and believes in letting the ancient customs prevail, so it is contrary to her practice for women to worship with uncovered heads. The Bishop, at the close of the confirmation service, gave some practical and fatherly advice to the class, based on the words of the confirmation prayer that they might increase mora and more until they came to God's everlasting Kingdom. The members the class were as follows: ' Mrs. Hagadorn and M rs. Vessey Misses Mabel McClelland, Norma Cross j Irma Aiken. Edna Taylor. Clara Pause.' I Masters Harley McClure. James Neill, Will NeiJI and Vernon Hagadorn. Miss Lucrece Wood Is a member of this class, but was unable to be present owing to sickness. Bishop Wells will make an other visit June 6th when she will be confirmed. The rector hopes that one or two others whom he has been trying to persuade will make up their minds to come forward at the same time and renew their baptismal vows to continue Christ's faithful soldiers and servants unto their lives' end, and to receive the gift of spiritual strength and grace in O der to enabie them so to do.

A grand charity performance for the benefit of the New York Home for destitute crippled child ren will be given at the Broadway Theatre this evening. Practically all the theatri cal stars now playing in this city have consented to contribute to the program and nearly every seat in the house it sold out THE STATE TREASURER All the talk in which candidates for the office of State Treasurer are engag ing, concerning the disposition they will make of the interest received upon public assumption that the law will be violated in the future as it has been in the past. The statutes of the state declare that if any person shall have in . his possession any public money and shall loan the same, with or without interest, he shall be deemed guilty of larceny and shall . be punished by imprisonmenn in the peniten tiary not less tnan one nor more than fifteen years, or by fine dt twice the amount loaned. In the decision of a case which involved this statute, the Oregon Supreme Court said that to loan public funds is crime. Every State Treasurer who has loaned public funds did so with the door of tne penitentiary ready to re ceive him. How, then, can a candidate for the office assume that he may or will loan the funds and receive interest there on, either for his own benefit or the bene fit of the state? Nothing is more certain in future legis lation than that a law will be passed providing for the deposit of publie funds in banks, upon sufficient security approved by aboard of state officers, and upon such a rata of interest to be paid to the state as may be agreed upon. Whether the public funds shall be loaned or not will be a question entirely beyond the control of the Treasurer himself. He will doubtless be one member of the Jboard having charge of the deposits of public funds when not in his personal custody, but the law to be enacted will not leave to any one man the power to determine what financial institutions shall be select ed as depositories of state money. If a law should not be enacted, it wilt be be yond the power of a Treasurer will have no discretion in the matter of loaning funds and collecting interest. What kind of a law should be enacted governing this subject is a problem more appropriate for consideration by candid ates for the Legislature. The most rea sonable plan, and the one most equitable to the several parts of the state, would be one which provides for a pro rata distribution among the counties, and an open, competitive bid. For example, let it be provided that surplus funds in the State Treasury shall be deposited in banks in the several counties of the state in proportion p the amount of taxes each county pays. Let sealed bids be received from the banks of each county for the privilege of acting as depository for the funds apportioned to that county, the bid stating the rate of interest the bank is willing to pay on daily balances. It is only fair tiat if money is to be deposited injbar.ks, it be placed in the localities from which it came, that each banker be given an opportunity to socure it upon exactly the same terms as any other banker, and that the state receive all the interest paid thereon. Of course, descsits would be mad only upon ample security ap- pooved by the board having control of the funds. Oregonian. - IOc! See what 10c will buy at Mrs. T. N.

DI AT (Observer Special) Portland, April 1 9 The following tele gram from J. R. Whitney, candidate for state printer on the Republican ticket show Mr. Dunniway up in the proper light To the voters of Union County: It has come to my notice that Willis S. Dumway, a candidate for state printer, on the eve of election when it is too late for reply, is flooding the state with cir culars attempting to show excessive cost of calenders and other state printing. The form of calendar was ordered and di rected by the legislature and not by the state printer. The figures given by Mr. Duniway are grossly exagerated and for the most part absolutely untruthful.. The report of I. Dunbar, secretary of state, shows that the entire cost of state printing, includ ing paper, ruling, binding and whole cost of maintainence was $35,000 per year and not $100,000 as claimed in Mr. Duniway campaign circulars. Let us have fair play and a square deal, based upon truth. J. R. Whitney, . ' : '..' TIMBER LAND ACT JUNB 1878 xotk;e for publication U. 8.
