Today we were permitted to look over the Ulster County Oazette, which was published at Kingston, Ulster county. New York, by Sammuel F. Freer & Hon, bearing date of January 4, 1400. It is hv eomnnrUon that we are made to realize how time makes changes. To Illustrate, under a date .line of Dec. 2 J, 199, we find this note preceding several columns of foreign news: "By the arrival of the Factor from ' Fulrnouthi we are put In pos session of London. papers to the 2rtth of October,' 'inclusive, from which we make the following selections:" Think of It! A paper bearing date of January i, 100, publishing ex tracts of London papers up to Octo , ber 20, 1799, as news. ' A tittle reflec tion, however, will show that this was all prior to the discovery of the tele graph, prior to the use of steam navi gation, all prior to the Atlantic ca ble. So, as things went In those days, we presume the paper before us, Which we are permitted to peruse through the courtesy of our old-time friend, Gus Henglosdorff, Is as much p-to-date as th papers of the pres ent time. - Among some of the oddities, as we now look upon things, we find such notices as the following: "t'ash given at the printing office for nigs." A merchant, at the close of his adver tisement, states: "Ashes taken In paid store." The men were evidently as m-an In thotie days as at present. Maty' Van Pteegbergh advertised the fact that h" would no longer pay any of his wire's debts, nor stand for any body harboring her on his acoeunt. John Sdioonmaker advertised to sell one-half of ti In sawmill and as an extra Inducement, offers to throw In A "stout, healthy, active negro wench." Another advertiser winded to dlsnMe of "A well finished pleasure sleigh." In the rending matter an account of a ship wreck Is chronicled. In which It states "The crew perished but two." The paper contains the announc ement of the opening of congress on December, 1799. when John Adams was president. Also the death and account of the funeral of George Washington, the last paragraph read ing: "The sun was now setting. Alas! the son of glory was set forever. No, the nunm of WashinKton the Ameri can president and general will tri umph over death! The unclouded brightness of his glory will Illuminate the future ages!" AMERICAN SHOES. A, full line of American shoe mu chlnery has been Installed at the Prague exposition, where people of all classes are given a practical dem onstrallon of shoemaklng by machln eiy, Every stage of the work Is shown and explained, commencing with the leather and other raw material and rndlng with the finished shoe ready for any shaped foot. The exhibit ha been Installed at a great exiwnse on the. pu i t of the American manufac turers under the name of a prominent Bohemian shoe manufacturer, as for Inner are not permuted to exhibit under their own names. The object of thU exhibit Is two fold: First Id demonstrate the effl clency of American machinery and It the second place to overcome thi prejudice existing In Bohemia against Tnachlne-madeshoes. Heretofore there has existed In llohemla a strong feel Ing against shoes made by machinery especially has this feeling prevailed In mall towns and rural districts. This feeling has not only retarded the sale of American 'shoes, but. the sale of American-made machinery as well. American watch manufacturers arc finding a market for their goods in Germany, in competition with Switz erland. We exported about 12 000 last year. We have only made a small beginning, however, as Switzerland ex ported, during the same period. Into Germany, nearly 2,000,000. . - ; Houses In desirable , locations are difficult to obtain. If you think otherwise, take a walk over the city. Earlier in the season many predicted there would be many vacant dwellings this fall, but their theory has not been In accord with the facts. , Thos who have been' contemplating building should remember that ma terial and labor Is much cheaper today than it was last year, and is cheaper than It probably will be next year. - , The newspapers are trying to" make the people believe that a real actUe aggressive political campaign la on. But in reality the people seem to con sider it all a Joke. .. , MEN MAY RETCRX. MA "THE SCHOOL-OP QUALITY' f Fruit Season is Mow On Tenth ind Morrison, Portland, Oregon A. P. Armstrong, LL.B..
