PORTLAND, -
Town Tcp.cs.-Or.o of ti e rr.ofet tn
hoying features Unit actors have to con
tend with, are tlio cries which some
times come from noisy wags in the house.
These usually provoki the mirth of an
audience, but are demoralizing to the
nerves of the persons at whom they are
directed. One of the most amusing of
these experiences is told by Comedian
William Keller of the "Town Topics"
company. The incident occurred in the
course of a scene in Richard the Third,
' between Edwin Booth as Richard and
Miss Lodusk Young as Lady Anne.
Richard offered his sword to Katherire
and on bended knee besought her to
kill him if Bhe would not pardon the
wrongs he had done her. Anne, with
the sword in her hand raised her eyes
towards the gallery and excluimed.
"What shall I do? Direct me heaven."
In a boyish voice, the answer came down
from one of the nut-strewn seats of
"heaven," "stick him." At Shively's
opera house, March 27th. Tickets on
sale at postofHce.
The First Paper, There is in the
private office of George T. Clark, the
librarian of the San Francisco free public
library, and which may be seen upon
request, a rare publication, says the San
Francisco Call. It is a copy of the first
newspaper published on the Pacific
coast, and with it are issues of the same
paper. It is the Oregon Spectator, the
first number of which appeared in Ore
City, Or. Ter., Thursday, February B,
1840. It was issued by the Oregou Print
ing Company, J. Fleming manager, and
edited by W. G. T'Vault. The papers
in the collection run from the date of
the first issue to and including the 20th
of January, 1848. These papers contain
much of interest about the early history
of Oregon, and they were at one time the
property of the Rev. R. E.Parrish. The
Oregon Spectator was issued several
months before the first California publica
tion, which was the California, which
first appeared at Monterey on the 15 h
of August, 1846.
Medical Examiner. Dr. W. E. Carll
of Oregon City was last Thursday re-appointed
by Gov. Lord as a member of
the state board of medical examiners, to
succeed himself, for the full term of five
years, ending February 28, 1902. Dr.
i'arll, it might be interesting to state,
is a democrat, but not one of the wild
eyed, shouting sort ; he is a sound-money
democrat, of which class Oregon still
has a very handsome representation.

! ! "My daughter, seventeen years of
age, was in very poor health by
' ' reason of weak, longs and a dis-

her Ayer'a Cherry Pectoral, and

the
cough was cured.
She is now in

excellent health,
JU
cough is somewhat like the small pebble on tno
mountain side. It appears utterly insignificant, until
a mouse, perhaps, starts it rolling, and the pebble be
gets an avalanche that buries a town. Fatal diseases
begin with "a slight cough." But any cough, taken
in time, can be cured by the use of
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.

' The Diphtheria Case.
Editor Courier:
While we have no desire to take sides
in the differences between our local
physicians relative to the recent case of
diphtheria in this city, the welfare of
the community and the tissue of false
hoods published in the Press of last
week, renders a plain, straiuhtforward
statements of the facts absolutely neces
sary. Dr. Strickland was first called in the
case and pronounced it diphtheria and
dispatched to Portland for sufticjent
diphtheria antitoxic to treat tle case.
In the meantime, Drs. Carll, Somers and
Paine, in the absence of the attending
physician visited the case and denied
that the case was diphtheria. Dr.
Strickland learning of the occurence at
once telephoned for Dr. E. B. Miller,
secretary of the state board of medical
examiners, to visit the case. Dr. Miller
arrived in a few hours and had no hesti
tancy in declaring it diphtheria of very
severe form.
Dr. Norris of this city and Dr. G. M.
Wells, professor of diseases of children,
of the medical department of the Uni
versity of Oregon, also saw the case and
both confirmed the diagnosis of diph
theria. . "
The patient was given the new diph
theria antitoxic, . which is urged ex
clusively in diphtheria, and he has coin
pletely recovered under that treatment,
which itself is a complete vindication of
the attending physician in his diagnosis
and treatment of the case. One of the
dissenting physicians put in circulation
the report that he had received a tele
phone message from Dr. Miller saying
tha' he had upon further consideration
come to the conclusion that the rase was
not diphtheria. Dr. Miller upon being
informed of this false statement im
mediaiely wrote Dr. Strickland very
emphatically denying it. '
