ANOTHER TRUST.
Only a few days ago the great
furniture trust of the Northwest
was exposed and broken up, and
Judge Wolverton was not done
passing sentence on the violators
of the law when the Portland Jour
nal laid bare the acts mid extortions
of another combine the plumbers
of Portland -one of the most vil
lainous schemes ever devised to rob
an unsuspecting people. The Jour
nal estimates that this infamous
combination has robbed the builders
of blocks and dwelling lnntsis of
8i.ooo during the last five months,
For some time past people began to
suspect that there was something
wrong when they called for bids
from these gentlenun. 1 ncy knew
that their prices were enormous
about double what they used to he
but they were put off by the
statement that the price of iron had
so advanced that it was impossible
to sell their wares at the old prices;
and not only that, but that all the
tuaterinl used in plumbing had also
advanced, and the poor victim
would call on another establishment
only to get precisely the same fig
ures miuin, When any new firm
refused to join the combine he was
forced into it by the others. I lie
wholesalers refused to furnish him
goods, and he Imd to either throw
in his lot witli the others or go out
of business.
Now what is to be done? Will
this combine be allowed to go on
robbing the people in defiance of
the law? We hoiie not. There Is
no good i en soi i why this tiust can
not be "busted" as well as the fur
niture trust. I.et it be done.

at the meeting next 1 ttusday night.

CHINA AND GLASSWARE.
When Breken, Don't De Too Hety lo
Throwing It Away.
Ilecnuso glassware, china and bric-n-brac
get broken is no reaon for
throwing them avny,for unless some
of the pieces arc lost they can bo
patched nnd glued together and
tnmlo to look liko new, if one is
careful to fit tho edges closely to
gether. They should be practical
for use, too, if water or liquid nro
not left standing in them.
Clear glass is the most difficult of
those to mend because it must bo
dono so expertly to prevent tho
crack from showing.
The best kind of gltto for clear
glass is nindo from a solution of
two ounces of isinglass and half a
pint of gin pottrcu into nn open
mouthed bottle and sot in tho sun
until it dissolves. It should bo
shaken well every day nnd before
being used should bo strained
through a elenu lawn cloth.
When ready for tho gluing tho
broken glass pieces should bo well
washed In hot Biuls, especially on
tho edges, dried, nnd then with a
smnll camel's hair brush the cement
tliould bo put on tho edges of both
piccos and when thoy nro nicely fit
ted together rubber bands or clcnn
strips of cloth should bo bnndnged
tightly around them to hold tho
edges well together until tho gltto
dries.
If thu commit has been properly
mndo tho break should really not bo
visible when dry, for tho reason
ninny cracks look Jagged whon
mended is because thu edge havo
not been well joined and, bubbles
of air gutting in, rcllcct tho light,
funking tho ragged, broken lines
glaringly apparent.
ltric-a-brae that is part metal and
glass should not bo so difficult to
fix over, particularly whuro thu two
nialoriiiln meet, for often a pnsto of
sifted plaster of purls mixed with
thu hctiton white of an egg will
mnko them nn strong nnd good ns
now. This work must be dono quick
ly, for within live minutes nftcr
putting it on thu piccus it hardens
nnd IioMh Hie metal nnd glass or
chiiin lightly together.
Two motnl iiiecos should bo
mended with solder. To do this tho
edgiM should first bu carefully dust
ed, wnslied if they arc very dirty
and rosin brushed over them. Then
when fitted well together and tied
in iilncu it slick of solder should bo
laid abovo thu break mid n hot iron
brought down lightly on it. Whon
thu solder cools the melted rosin
may bu removed with it cloth dipped
in alcohol.
The Man In the Moon In Germany,
The Curuiati legend tells us that
ages ago an old man went onu Sun
day morning into (ho foro.it to out
timber (how Mick). Mo cut a bundle
of fagot and swung thoiit over his
nhoulder and began to trudgu homo.
On thu way ho met a roiuarkablo
looking individual with a faco na
bright im the sun. "Do you know,
old Mint, that it is Sunday on earth,
when all iium ret from their la
bors?" asked the stranger. "Sundnv
on earth or Monday in hell, it is nil
the samo to me," said thu hardened
old wretch.
"Thou boar your bundle foruvor,"
said the stranger in ho vanished
from tight. A moment later tho old
siiiuor and his fagots were deposited
on the moon, whore they stand to
this day, a porpetual warning to nil
Sabbath broukeni.

AN INDIAN EXPERIENCE.
TrUli of Girl Who Wee Captured by
the Sioux.
Tho winter of 18GG-G7 was one
long to bo roraembcrcd by tho peo
ple of Iowa and Minnesota for Ita
bitter cold weather, deep snow and
violent storms, which rendered com
munication between tho di(I6rcnt
settlements almost impossible. A
great many of tho settlements wero
on tho extreme frontier nnd abso
lutely unprotected nnd defenseless.
It wns during this winter that the
Sioux attacked nnd destroyed tho
family of Mr. Ilowlnnd Gardner.
They killed nil except n young
daughter, Abbie, who wns tnken in
to captivity, but was rescued
through the efforts of the United
States government. In "The Spirit
Lnkc Massncro" she tolls something
of her captivity:
Whenever the Indians thought to
torture mo by threatening to tnko
my life I would merely bow my
hend. My tcnrlcss ncquiesccnco nnd
willingness to dio seemed to fill
them nil with wonder. Thoy thought
it a sign of bravery.
Soon nftcr my capture one of tho
warriors, who wns sitting by me ono
dny in tho tent, thinking to test my
courngo or to bo nmuscd nt my
fears, took his revolver from his belt
nnd began loading it, while ho gavo
mo to understand Hint ho would kill
nic ns soon ns it was loaded. I
merely bowed my head to signify
thnt I wns ready.
Whon thu revolver wns nil load
ed ho drew buck tho hammer nnd
held tho weapon closo to my head.
I quietly bowed my head, expecting
ho would do ns ho said. Hut In
stead of that ho lowered tho weapon
and looked nt 1110 ns if astonished
nnd then laughed uproariously. So
amused was ho thnt ho told his com
panions of it, nnd it was n favorlto
subject of conversation.
Those Indians weru at a loss to
know what to do with much of tho
plunder thoy had tnken. Among
tho spoils wero quantities of soda
nnd cream of tnrtiir. They interro
gated mo ns to their use, and when
I told them wo ucd it in making
bread they wished mo to mnko
some. Thoy seemed greatly sur
prised nnd plowed when thoy saw
the bread "grow" during tho process
of baking. Although pleased with
thu "growing," they wore too suspi
cious of being poisoned to cnt nny
until I had eaten. Then thoy de
voured it greedily.
A Perambulating Pudding.

The Price ol Disobedience.
An Italian priuco had strictly for
bidden one of his daughters to

habit obtained over her thnt she
secretly engaged in tho practice at
every opportunity. Ono day she

evidence of her disobedience the
princess placed her hand with the

The result was startling and tragic.
Her frock was immediately in a

r A NATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Dramatlo 8cene at the Degradation of
Captain Dreyfus.
Nino o'clock; Qenernl Darrns
draws his sword; orders ring out;
tho infantrymen shoulder nrms;
tho sabers of tho cavalry glnnm; nt
the far edge of tho field a littlo
group appears. It i3 made up of
lour artillerymen in somber dol
mans. In tho center is Dreyfus,
tho light flashing on his sword, on
tho three gold galloons that mark
his rank. Beside him strides tho
ndjutnnt of tho gunrd, tho execu
tioner of the militnry decree, n
ginnt of n man, cloaked, plumed,
glorious. The little group comes
obliquely across tho naked field.
Tho "traitor's" step is firm, his head
is high, his left hand grasps tho hilt
of his sword. Without the mob
lifts its dull clamor, tho sulky growl
of 0,000 alcoholic throats. Whero
tho general sits on his horse tho
littlo group halts. Tho cannoneers
fall back, nnd Dreyfus stands alono.
Very small ho seems; motionless,
cut in steel. And tho general
speaks:
"Dreyfus, you nro unworthy .o
bear nrms. In tho nnmo of tho
French republic I degrndo you I"
Then thu desolulo man raises
suddenly his nrms to heaven and
cries with n loud voice, I nm inno
cent!"
Ab sudden is tho ronr that comes
from tho Latin mob, surging
ngninst tho iron fence, "Death I"
nnd "Judas I" and "Traitor I" A si
lenco more terriblo than tho ronr
of tho mob falls ns tho executioner
steps forward, strips olT the epau
lots, the gold braid, thu gold but
tonsensigns of n man's honor
and breaks across his kneo tho sol
dicr's sword. And Dreyfus stands
immobile, beaten upon by nil tho
winds of fate. Only when tho sword
snaps in twain 11 great cry comes
from mm a male cry, sonorous ami
stern:
"On tho heads of my wifo nnd
children I swear 1 am innocent! 1
Bwcar it I Vivo In Frnncol"
And tho mob, in tho streets, nt
tho gates, on tho roof tops, howls:
"Death I Death I" It is tho nn
Bwor of Franco. The parade begins.
Thu littlo group is led now by two
officers of the Republican guard.
Slowly it passes thu long files of tho
soldiery, just boyond sword reach
lest nn impulsive snber should reach
the "trnltor's" heart. Thu littlo
man is dressed in black rags now.
Hut ho marches steadily, his head
erect. Thero is not 11 quiver In him,
so firm is his drilled courage of a
soldier. Whon he passes the fen.-o,
behind which thu mob scot'ics, ho
cries oncu more his innocence mid
"Vivo lit Franco!" What ho snys
thoy cannot hear, but they answer
him with crucifying clamor, 'to
tho journalists ho says, "Toll
Franco I am innocent!" And they
call him "Judos" and "traitor." Not
onco does hu lower his head in this
grim parade of ugouv. Not onco
does ho give way to fenr or nnger.
As though hu had mndo himself

MEERSCHAUM PIPES.
Americans, It 8eem, Do Not Make or

"You don't see tho best meer
Bchaum pipes in this couutry," said
n German pipe dealer who learned
his trade in Vienna.
"Why? Uccausc tho Americans
nro in too big 11 hurry haven't timo
to take care of a meerschaum,
haven't even time to learn how.
When tho American is through
smoking he knocks his pipe on the
heel of his shoo to remove tho
ashos, shoves it in the most handy
pocket and is on the run.
"Now, in the old country a titan
takes his pipe seriously, very seri
ously. He expects his meerschaum
to Inst him n lifetime nnd then bo
in good repair to hand down to his
heir. The pipe is passed from gen
eration to generation, and it is ol
wavs handled ns carefully ns a new
born babe. Tho smoker novor
touches the bowl while it is warm.
That would spoil the fine, glossy
color. Whon the ficrman bos com
pleted his serious nnd meditative
smoke his pipe is laid very carefully
nwny where it will cool properly and
without danger of scratching. He
docs not ram it into his pocket

Tho soft "meerschaum oborbs the

"Tho Amcricnn manufacturer
