OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1806. CORRESPONDENCE Owfo. Oawnuo, Oct. 12. Tha Clackamas County Pomona grange memWra ItolJ moot profitable and Instructive meetin at Oswego, October 12. A large atten ance was bad and niurh was aaid and done toward our life insurance. It beinn the annual flection ol officers, some very good selection were made. The ladies carrying off the larger cumber of the offices, no doubt on account of carrying out one of the many principles the mem bars of the grange are in favor of, that of women sufferage. Much good talk was had concernin the best methods of keeping up grange interest and increasing our membership, The reports from the various granges Bhow that they are holding their num bers and have bright prospects of a large increase this coming winter. Members from the Washington and Multnomah county granges were present and many good ideas weie exchanged. The exer cises in the evening were long and right to the point, and Pomona feast, the best of all, was nice indeed. They all agreed that Milwaukie would be the next place of meeting, the second Wednesday in January. HE WAS WELL MADE UP. Mad by Tha Cuh of a Wsnderfal Hit tha Lata Bill Kja. James Whitcoinb Riley tells a quaint story of bis formor lecturing partner, Bill Nye. It was the opening of their joint season. They bad both been rasti eating during the vacation and were brown as berries. Nye looked much like an Othello in his sun burned make up, and Riley suggested to him the applica tion of some "liquid white, "aooaiiietio much affected by the gentler sex of the profession. Nye sent for the preparation, and never having used anything of the kind before be filled the palm of his hand with it and carefully smeared it over his countenance. There was no mirror in his primitive dressing room, and Riley was beautifying himself on the other side of the stage. lne "liquid white" dries out some what like whitewash, and when Nye appeared before the audience he was a sight to behold. His head looked like a frosted top piece on a wedding cake. His face, white as the driven snow, was expressionless aud blank. The audience shrieked, and when he came off from his first selection they demanded his reappearance. He obliged them to howls of laughter. Again he made his exit, and again was redemanded by the up roarious audience. Believing he had made a hit, he was about to return to the stage when he was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye, who cried, "William Edgar Nye, what have you got on your face?" "Nothing but its usual expression, toy dear. " "Expression I Fiddlesticks I Ton 're a fright," cried his wife, and leading him to where there was a piece of broken looking glass showed him how he looked. Nye was mortified, and catching sight of Riley, just about going on the stage, he would have undoubtedly fol lowed bim on and been revenged but for the intervention of Mrs. Nye. His head was scraped, combed and washed, and his next selection was read without "a hand" from the audienca Moreover, the story is a fact and not a press agent's concoction. Detroit Free Press. MARRIAGE OF OFFICERS. Tha Armies of Europe Bar Varlooa Bale Regulating It. The restrictive conditions at present in force with re.svd to the marriage of officers in the Russian army forbid this privilege under any circumstance in the case of officers under the age of 23. Be tween the ages of 23 and 28 years the dot of an officer's wife must amount to a sum representing the minimum in come of 250 rubles yearly. .On comparison of these conditions with those regulating the same question in other European armies it may be noted that in the Austria-Hungarian army the number of officers authorized to contract marriage is limited by a fix ed proportion assigned to each grade, and, these totals being reached, all fur ther marriages must be deferred pend ing the occurrence of vacancies in the married establishmenta The Italian army regulations, which fix the income of the fiancee at a mini mum of from 1,200 to 2,000 lire, would appear to be more rational in their . operation. Italian officers, however, ap ply a somewhat liberal interpretation to this law, with the result that the num ber of marriages occurring under actual provisions does not exceed more than an eighth of the total number, seven eighths of the officers being united un der the conditions of the religious cere mony only, and thus exposing them selves to all the inconveniences which attend a marriage not recognized by civil law. Similar disabilities would now ap pear to bo incurred by Russian officers, and suggestions have been mado by the press in Russia that a general revision f the law is becoming necessary. The question is assuming some importance from the fact that Russian officers, . reaching a total number of nearly 40, 000, represent one of the most impor tant classes in the state. Brooklyn Citizen. rtnl Klaphaat la ioMriia. It Is not generally known that a former citizen of Owonsboro brought across the, ocean the first elephant that was ever In America. Thn name of the gentleman was Moses Smith, w ho at cue time own ed a vast body of land from the mouth of Panther creek up the river, embrac ing nearly all the prtwnt farms in the neighborhood of Sorgho. Mr. Smith was at Paris with his brother and had "moro money than he knew what to do with. " Ho told his brother that he in tended taking something to America that the people hud uever seen. "Yon had better buy an elephant," said the jocular brother, and that was what Moses did. He picked out the biggest animal he could find and paid an enormous price for it He brought it to New York, where it was a uine days' jrondor, but the owner soon found that he had some' thing worse than the proverbial white elephant on his hands. He tried to sell it, but could find no buyer and at last undertook to give it away, in which he was equally unsuccessful. Finally he fouud a man who agreed to pay him f 100 for it, and this individual put it on exhibition. He was so successful that he went into the show business and made a fortuue out of Mr. Smith's fol ly. Colonel Frauk McKernan of Adair- ville is a grandson of Mr. Smith, who lived to a great age at his home in this conuty. Oweusboro (Ky.) Inquirer. Sataa at Camp Meeting. We will call him Bishop Simmons, During the itfternoon tho younger min istcrs bad listened to him with venera tion aud respect, aud when their turn came tney round mm a dignified and careful listeuer. The afternoon was delightful and the ramp meeting service was a long one. Tho good bii-hup was a keen lover of the weed, and after the meeting bad closed he strolled otf for a siuoka At a little distance he found an abrupt ledge en tirely oat of tbe view of the camp grounds, and going down around to the foot of this he lit hiscigarand prepared for a quiet half hour. As it chanced, soon after one of the younger ministers took a walk from the grounds, and finally came to the top of the same ledge, and, looking down, saw the bishop. For the space of a moment or two he stood with a gleam in his eye, and then, stooping down, he said in a sort of tri umphant tone: "Ah, Father Simmons, I've caught you burning incense to the devil. " The bishop took out his cigar and turned about till he bad swung ths speaker fully into view, and then added slowly in a deep voice: "But I didn't know he was so near.
