THE WATER WORKS.
Last week we promised to explain some things in
regard to the present status of the waterworks, but it is
somewhat difficult to know where to begin and just how
much explanation is necessary.
In the first place, as to raising funds: under the town
charter no method of raising funds for purposes such as
the construction of waterworks was provided, hence it
was deemed necessary to amend the charter so as to give
the council authority to issue bonds for that purpose.
Up to 1906 the power to amend the charter was vested
in the state legislature, but by an amendment to the
constitution of Oregon, adopted in that year, the power
to enact and amend city charters was taken from the
legislature and declared vested in the people of said cities.
In pursuance of this amendment, the legislature in 1907
passed an act providing the manner in which municipalities
might exercise the initiative and referendum powers
granted by the constitution, and also allowing each
municipality the right to provide a method of its own for
said purpose, provided: that such method did not conflict
with the constitution or the general laws of the state; in
a word: the people, and the people only, can amend the
town charter but they must do it either by a legal method
prescribed by an ordinance or by the method provided by
the legislature.

FAKING OLD MASTERS.
Spurious Antique Paintings and the
Credulity of Purchasers.
“The most amazing thing about
spurious ‘old masters,' ” said a Lon
don picture expert, “is the credulity
of the purchasers. They have only
to stop and reflect a moment to un
derstand that comparatively few
canvases were produced by the mas
ters, who for the most part were
slow and careful workmen, and then
let them consider how many per
sons there are who claim to possess
Rambrandts, Rubenses and Van
Dycks, not to mention Corots, Dau-
bignys and Ziems. The experts
themselves are deceived sometimes.”
“What is the exact process for re
producing old paintings?” the ex
pert was asked.
“When a dealer finds a purchaser
in the form of an American seek
ing to gain a reputation as a patron
of art he seeks some artist who is
a careful student of old paintings
and a man of genius in copying
rather than in original work. The
artist secures a canvas and chassis,
or inner frame, of the period de
sired. The canvas is probably
daubed with the work of some un
known man and is quite worthless.
“All traces of paint are removed
by washing the canvas with a hard
brush dipped in potash. Next a
preparation of calk glue is applied.
Several coats of this are put on and
smoothed with pumice. Finally a
coat of oil is applied, and when this
is dry the canvas is ready to receive
the talent of the modern ‘old mas
ter.’
“It is a mistake to believe that
the mellow tints of ancient pictures
cannot be reproduced. A clever
artist can do anything in the way of
coloring. The subject chosen is
usually that of a well known work,
with slight changes in composition
and the possible omission of details
considered unpleasing to the mod
ern eye.
“When the picture is finished it is
left to dry for a few months, and it
remains only to give it the cracks
characteristic of old paintings,
his is done by running the thumb
along the back of the canvas wher
ever a crack is desired. White chalk
hardens the paint and makes crack
ing easy. The dealer invents an in
teresting story of how the picture
hung on the walls of this or that
historic chateau and strikes off an
old sales catalogue to prove its au
thenticity. He even makes engrav
ings, for it is customary to have en
gravings of the old masters.
“These devices, with the reputa
tion of the dealer, generally suc
ceed in deceiving the wealthy Amer
icans. I have seen such pictures
sold time and again, always bring
ing the enormous sums which are
the market price of genuine master
pieces.”—Chicago News.
"The Whitecoats.”
When the first Duke of Newcastle
set about raising a regiment for the
king in the civil war his men were
known as “Whitecoats.” The Tea-
son of the nickname is told in a let
ter from the duchess, which is
printed in the life of the duke:
“My lord, being resolved to give
them new liveries and there not be
ing red cloth enough to be had,
took up so much of white as would
serve to clothe them, desiring withal
their patience until he got it dyed,
but they, impatient of stay, request
ed my lord that he would be pleased
to let them have it undyed as it was,
promising they themselves would
dve it in the enemies’ blood. Which
request my lord granted them, and
from that time they were called
Whitecoats.”
He Didn’t Object.
A man who was a bachelor was
waiting for a train in the refresh
ment room at a large station. It
was presided over by a good looking
girl who happened to have red hair.
The man asked if she could oblige
him with n match.
“With pleasure, if you do not ob
ject to a red headed one,” she re
plied, with such a suggestive, de
mure smile that she aroused his in
terest. And now they are a very
happy couple.
Above the Law of tho Land to Which
They Are Accredited.
In every civilized country the per
son of a foreign ambassador is held
to be inviolable, the law of the land
being powerless to touch him for
any offense. Immunity from arrest
extends also to an ambassador’s
servants and the members of his
suit.
There is, however, one case of rec
ord in which an ambassador’s as
sistant was really executed, and that
was in Great Britain. This was in
1053, and the victim was Pantaloon
Sa, who was the brother and one of
the train of the Portuguese ambas
sador. lie quarreled with an ac
quaintance over a business matter
and wounded him, the life of the
party attacked being saved only by
the intervention of bystanders.
But the next night Pantaleon Sa,
with fifty of his Portuguese friends,
all armed to the teeth, sought out
his enemy with the intention of kill
ing him. There was a desperate
struggle, and one person was killed
and several were wounded. The
guards were called in, but the Por
tuguese fired on them also. Than
Pantaloon Sa sought refuge in his
embassy, where he thought he was
safe, but the ambassador surren
dered him, and he was duly execut
ed after some hesitation on the part
of the authorities.
The most extraordinary example
of ambassadorial privilege on record
occurred in 1GG1, when the French
and Spanish ambassadors at London
and their retinues fought a fierce
battle in the streets of that capital,
twelve persons being killed and for
ty wounded. On this occasion a
new Swedish ambassador was com
ing to London, and there was a dis
pute between the French and Span
ish ambassadors as to who should
have precedence in the procession
of welcome. When at last the
Swedish diplomatists arrived and
was proceeding from Tower hill to
Whitehall, the Spaniards, who had
a force of a hundred men on foot
and fifty on horseback, formed
across the road to bar the passage
of the French. The latter fired a
volley and charged the Spanish,
sword in hand. Three horses, the
postilion and the coachman of the
French ambassador were killed at
the outset, but the struggle lasted
for a long time after that. In the
end victory was with the Spanish.
Nobody was punished. Nor could
anybody be punished if such an
event should happen anywhere to
day.—Harper’s Weekly.
Striking a Light.
Friction matches are a compara
tively modern invention. The first
really practical friction match was
made in the United States in 1836
by L. C. Allen of Springfield, Mass.
Before this time a clumsy form of
match was imported from France,
which had to be dipped into a bot
tle of sulphuric acid before it could
be lighted. This took a great deal
of time end trouble, and Allen, see
ing the necessity for friction
matches, set about to make them
and succeeded. He neglected to
patent them, however, and on finally
applying for letters patent found
that a man named Alonzo Phillips,
who was a peddler, had discovered
through a third person the secret of
making the matches and had al
ready obtained a patent.

Tho Wit of Cicero.
Cicero replied to Vibius Curius,
who was telling a falsehood about
his age, “Then when we declaimed
at the school together you were not
born,” and to Fabia, who said 6he
was thirty, “No doubt, for I have
heard you say so twenty years.”
When he saw Lentulus, his cousin, a
little man girt with a big sword, ho
said, “What has fastened my cousin
to that sword?” On being shown
a colossal bust of his brother, who
was also small, he exclaimed, “Tho
half of my brother is greater than
the whole.”
One day Cicero had supped with
Damasippus and his host had said,
putting some inferior wine before
him, .“Drink this, Falerian; it is
forty years old!” “It bears its age
well,” replied Cicero.—From L’Ee*
trange’s “History of Humor,”
Goldsmith, M. B.
The lovable character of the au
thor of “Tho Vicar of Wakefield”
shines through and irradiates a
brief story which Richard Ashe
King has incorporated in his biog
raphy of Goldsmith.
Goldsmith, who set up as a physi
cian on the Bankside, Southwark,
anticipated modern therapeutics in
recognizing that every sick man is a
special case, demanding special
treatment.
He was once called to a poor pa*
tient who plainly stood in greater
need of food than of physic. The
tender hearted doctor put all the
money he had in his pocket into a
pill box and wrote on the label:
“To bo taken as occasion re

The Soft Answer.
“Do you know you are fishing in
forbidden water?” roared a voice
from the bridge.
“No,” said the fisherman on Kie
bank quietly, regardless of yet an
other angling lie that was placed to
his credit.
‘It is preserved water,” went on
his new found friend, “and it cost
me a lot of money to stock it with
fish.”
“Ah, what fish?” asked the an
gler, intent upon rod and line.
“Roach, sir, roach!” replied the
owner.
“Then there’s no need for you to
worry,” replied the fisherman calm
ly, “for I happen to be fishing for
trout.”—London Mail.
Why He Resigned.
Heard in a studio:
“Did you ever hear the real rea
son for the famous resignation from
the academy last year ?”
“No. Did you?”
“Why, yes. As it was told to me,
a letter was addressed to ‘the lead
ing landscape painter of America’
at the academy, and it wasn’t for
warded to where he thought it
ought to go.”—New York Sun.
