Never before did mortal eves behold such an appetizing array of delicious homo made candies; large plates displayed a dozen varieties at the candy booth and they were all gone long before the crowds were sntisficd. When two o'clock came, and a placard announced that the Cor ona Orchestra would render a selection to the waiting friendb, the little boy who bents the big drum could not bo found. After a careful search he was found in the "fish pond" tying prizob to the ends of fish lines which una ispecting visitors had drop ped into the pond after paying a nickel for a license. He was "fished" out and given his place with tho other musicians on the canvas screened veranda, where during the afternoon and evening they rendered their repertoire of selections to a delighted au dience. The boys in the chorus sang as they never sang before, winning extra laurels, besides adding tn thoontcrtainmcnt.

A Disgusted Listener A rumor has it that there is to bo a change in tho ferry land ing on tho St. Johns side. It Is claimed by the county olliclnls that by running straight across and landing" at the foot of Now York street would greatly reduce tho coat of nporation of the ferry and would also bo a groat saving in time in many in stances; as the ferry is often held up by other boats while getting in and out at the dock, and the time iH near at hand when this change will havo to be made. It soonis to us now would be a good time to grade and II x up New York street in preparation for this forr land ing, and the runway should be made on m cuuy grade as pos sible to got.- Linnton Loader. ltdoosnotlie within the power of the county commissioners to change tho landing place from tho foot 6i I'itUburg street, but it may bo changed on the west side of the river. The law pass ed by tho legislature specified the foot of Pittsburg street as tho St. Johns landing, and only by act of legislature may this landing placo he changed.

Tho case is taken back to the Commission by the water company. The Loyal Wonons of tho Chris tian church wore ploasantly on tortained at tho homo of Mrs. II. L. Whistlor on Smith avenue Wednesday afternoon. A deli- cious lunch was sowed, Editor Review: Hearing that there was to bo a Socialistic lec ture given on tho street corner last Friday evening, at which nromincnt sneakers of tho So cialist party were expected to be present, 1 decided to make it a point tn be present and hear of what the truo principles of Socialism consisted- to hear if something better in the way of government than the present would be advanced. But I was greatly disappointed. Tho bur den of the talks was raillery against public officials and pub lic mon. Wo wero almost led to imagine from the talk that this country was scarcely lit to live in, that nearly all men of wealth wero thieves, that practically all public oflicials should bo bohind tho bars, that patriotism was nonsense, that all working peo ple were slaves, and haranguos that might bo likened to tho ravings of diseased minds. I had wondered why Socialist Leach was driven from Bandon, Oregon, and had folt somo sympathy for him bofore, but after hoaring him spook tho wonder was lessoned. His re marks were unpatriotic, and I could not help but wonder how long the people would havo stood for it wero tho country in state of war. A speaker preced ing him was so coarse and dis gusting in his attacks on Gov ernor West and other oflicials as to be nauseating. Ho also emp tied some of his venom on tho Oregon Journnl.The haranguos of tho speakers wero demoralizing instead of elevating and helpful. Tho only definition of Socialism gathered from tho remarks of the speakers was to make tho working people discontented and dissatisfied with tho country and the officials at the head of tho government. But thero was nothing offered in its stoad. Tho principles of Socinlism wero not explained- only ono tirado of abuse after another. It would bo much better if tho Socialist party would recall such spoakors if they expect to gain in num bers. Disgusted Listener.
