RED CROSS IN CIVIL WAR.
The failure of the framers of the
Treaty of Geneva to provide a method
by which the Red Cross may help
lessen the horrors of Civil War is
probably the most important subject
to .be discussed at the ninth interna
tional conference of the Red Crosa
to be held in Washington next May.
Two governments signatory to the
treaty are bound, when at war, to
respect the Red Cross flag. There is
no such requirement in-cases of civil
conflict. The Red Cross, during the
Medero revolution in Mexico offered
its services to the Mexican govern
ment, but the offer could not be ac
cepted and the work of the organiza
tion was confined to caring for sick
and wounded soldiers ,who were
brought across the border.
The revolution in China has de
veloped even more seriou3 conditions.
Official reports show that many un
authorized organizations are using
the emblem in the hope of protecting
the lives and property of their mem
bers. The organization has no stand-
i n rr 4 PVino rm n r- tinna its o
lug in juma, ucuvc a. , ' v au a
vain one.
Representatives of forty or more
countries at the Washington confer
ence will endeavor to insure recogni
tion of the Red Cross in Civil War to
overcome this situation.
FINANCIAL OLIGARCHY.
Senator John W. Kern, who once
upon a time achieved fame through
an unsuccessful candidacy for vice
president, and who latei attracted the
spotlight by giving "two fingers" as
the size of a proper drink of whisky,
is again courting the spot by saying
. that 100 men control the money of
"this country.
A New York lawyer who has grown
wealthy by harassing big corporations
with civil suits, says a dozen men
are in control. Another self-constituted
authority places the number at six,
and the saffron-hued publications say
J. P. Morgan is absolute master.
One hundred men, or six men, or
Canal Free From Toll
! Would Increase Trade
JOHN BARRETT.
Director General of the Pan
American Union
from the COMPETITION of a free canal. If, then, corresponding
and compensating advantages in each case will result from a free canal
it should be made FREE. The increase of the trade of the United
States through a free canal will be so much greater than that through
a toll canal that this increase in the first year would , EQUAL THE
REVENUE FROM TOLLS FOR FIVE YEARS, wnile in ten
years the increase resulting from a free canal over that of a toll canal
would pay nearly twice over the original cost of the canal, or fifty
times the cost of annual operation.
Mr., Morgan, may at some particular
time exercise a powerful influence
in the financial world. But that is
not the whole country.- Only dema
gogues who lose their perspective
think or pretend to think it is. The
yearly increase in the development
and production of our natural re
sources make it impossible that we
should ever be confronted with a
financial oligarchy.
This side of the Mississippi and
even the Great Lakes, wall street is
looked upon as a small field in our
national life by intelligent thinking
people.
TO REFRESH RECOLLECTION.
Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio,
who has been maintaining a discreet
silence since the launching of his
presidential boom, breaks the stillness
long enough to give himself a boost
that would be a good one, if he could
get away with it.
Governor Harmon was, attorney
general in the cabinet of President
Cleveland, and as such prosecuted the
Addyston Pipe and Steel Company,
one of the earliest cases under the
Sherman, anti-trust law. The governor
points with pride to his conduct of
that suit. ,
But the governor fails to mention
the fact that the decision of the cir
cuit court of appeals in that case,
holding the Sherman law enforceable
against any and every combination in
restraint of interstate commerce, was
written by Judge William H. Taft.
Just to refresh the governor's recol
lection it might not be amiss to allude
to the fact.
In the matter of fireproof build
ings you never can tell.

ILLUSTRATED TALK TO
BE GIVEN FOR SCOUTS
The Boy Scouts and Saturday Club
have arranged an intertainment of un
usual attractiveness for toworrow
evening at the Congregational church.
A travel lecture by John P. Clum,
illustrated by colored views and mov
ing pictures of scenes all the way
from Spokane to Santa Catalina Is
land will be given at 8 o'clock. There
will be films showing the march of
the Mission workers at Santa Bar
bara, a Yosemite Camp Fire, Feeding
100,000 pigeons, a regiment of Os
triches, honoring the sailor dead, "A
Fairy Isle on a Summer Sea," and
many other of the scenic wonders and
historic places of the Pacific Coast
The machine to be used is one of the
best made. Those who have seen
these pictures -are enthusiastic in
their praise of their excellence and
interest. An audience of 6,000 attend
ed the lecture in .the Gypsy Smith
tabernacle in Tacoma recently. The
entire proceeds are for the Saturday
Club of the Scouts.
REV. EDWARDS AND
WIFE ENTERTAINED
The parlors of the Congregational
church never looked more attractive
than they did Tuesday night, when
over 150 members of the church and
congregation gathered to welcome
Rev. G. N. Edward, the new pastor,
and his wife.
Mrs. Robert Wilson and Miss Jean
White had transformed the rooms by
the liberal and artistic employm'ent
of evergreens, pussywillows, and pot
ted plants, with here and there
bunches of white carnations, while
Mrs. J. M. Mark, Mrs. J. W. Cole,
and Mrs. H. C. Stevens attended to
the refreshment needs of the guests.
The program was sufficiently in
formal not to detract from the home
like cheerfulness of the evening. Miss
Louise Walker played two piano num
bers in brilliant style; Mrs. John
Crawford, and Mr. H. J. Robinson,
both members of the choir, sang
songs, which were heartily enjoyed,
and Master Sammy McLarty recited.
Addresses of welcome were made
by Rev. B. S. Bollinger, of Highland
Congregational church, Portland, and
formerly of this city; Rev. Dr. Ford
of the local Methodist church; C T.
Avison, C. S. Noble, E. P. Carter,
and Rev. R. N. Smith, Congregation
al missionary. Mr." Edwards respond
ed on behalf of himself and wife, ex
pressing his deep appreciation of the
warmth of the welcome that had been
extended to him by all classes of the
community, and especially the mem
bers of his church, and pledging him
self to the limit of his strength and
ability in behalf of his charge. Mr.
Edwards is not merely a college man,
he is a scholar in the fullest meaning
of the word, a man of ideas and of a
broad sympathetic understanding of
the man on the street, that bids fair
to make him as well beloved by the
men of Oregon City, as he was by the
miners of Alaska.
Mrs. C. D. Latourette, Mrs. E. B.
Follansby, Mrs. Lena Charman, Mrs.

son, and Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Dye serv
ed as the reception committee.
OREGON CITY BAND
TO PLAY IN STREET
The Oregon City Military Band, un
der R. V. D. Johnston, Friday eve
ning commencing at 8 o'clock will
play two numbers . in the street op
posite the Masonic Temple Building,
after which it will give a program at
the Poultry Show. Oregon City has
a-big surprise coming, in that it now
possesses a real, genuine band. Its
membership of thirty-four men is re
cruited entirely from Oregon City
and neighboring towns; professional
men, merchants, and working men,
not a professional musician among
them. Credit is due the Commercial
Club and its secretary, M. D. La
tourette for the re-organization. So
far, the club has met all expenses
and supplied room for practice work.
It is hoped that arrangements can be
made for a series of open air con
certs in the park, as soon as the
weather warrants ' it. . :
IMPROVEMENT OF
Much work was accomplished at
the Clackamas County Fair grounds
at Canby Monday, when many of the
residents- of Canby and farmers of
the county assembled at the grounds
with teams and shovels to assist in
the beautifying the park. -
There was some talk of the women
of the city preparing a hot dinner for
the men engaged in the work, but
they did not attend, and the affair
proved a stag picnic, as the men were
obliged to take lunches with them
The day was spent in plowing and
harrowing, but the task of rolling the
ground and seeding -will be done at a
later date, and it is probable at that
time the women will be there to fur
nish the toilers, who are working
without charge, with a hot dinner.
The ground, which is being improv
ed, lies between the pavilion and the
grove north of the building, and will
be a most attractive camping place
for visitors at the fair this year.

The Flitman
Burglary
It Caused Some Uncomfort
able Moments
By CLARISSA MACKIE &
,tnt..iH.,tiit..H.a-a-a-i"M-W"H-i-:-i-
Mr. Flitman went through the fiat
extinguishing the electric lights one
by one with sharp "clicks" of the
switches.
"Did you lock the safe. Rod?" in
quired Mrs. Flitman from the front
hall, where she was buttoning her
long white gloves.. .
"Yes key in my pocket" returned
Mr. Flitman easily. "Got your dupli
cate key hidden. Maud?"
"Yes, indeed." assured Maud as they
passed into the hall. "I make it a
point never to overlook that safe key.
Rod. Without it a burglar 'couldn't
possibly get at our silver, eh. Rod?"
"So the safe people said." muttered
Rodney hastily, for they were going
down in the elevator now, and a man
and woman were watching them rath
er! curiously.
It was after 11 o'clock, and Rodney
Flitman was dancing with a pretty
girl in pale blue when there suddenly
stole over him a vague uneasiness.
Perhaps it was because the pretty
girl had just been lamenting a burg
lary in her home the week before that
set his thoughts running on the va
cant fiat, for Bridget, their maid of all
work, slept at home. "f "
"I'm positive I locked that safe," he
assured himself as he whirled, dizzily
around in the waltz. "But for the
life of me I cannot remember whether
I locked the front door. I hate to ask
Maud. She will get fidgety right
away."
When the dance was over and he
had left his partner in congenial com-
BOTH EI AND THE WOMAN BEKIDB HIM
KEMAINED BIGIDr'
pany Rodney hastened to the dressing
room after making a brief apology to
his hostess.
"Fact is. Mrs. Wetmore, I've got to
run home a minute. Something im
portant I've forgotten. I won't dis
turb Mrs. Flitman, she is having such
a delightful time."
When he had disappeared Mrs. Wet
more and her husband exchanged r
smile.
"Just the excuse that Maud gave
when she went a half hour ago," mur
mured Mrs. Wetmore, under cover of
her fan. ;
Rodney Flitman found a taxlcab
and was soon whirling toward his
uptown home. The elevator had mad?
its last trip, and the interior of the
cage and shaft was black and gloomy.
The night watchman blinked sleepily'
at him and, turning In 'his chair. 'snored
gently.
When, he reached the third floor he
was aware that far above him he could
hear the faint staccato click of heels
on the stairs above. Somebody, a wom
an, was mounting the stairs ahead of
himwalking softly, too, as if fearful
of being heard. By some strange freak
of coincidental reasoning Rodney's
thoughts flew at once to the woman
and the man who had gone down in
the elevator a few hours before. These
people were utter strangers to him and
were of peculiarly singular appearance
dark and foreign looking and they
had watched Maud closely while she
carelessly discussed the matter of the
keys to their safe and the late hour
if their return. He resolved to speak
to Maud about the matter.
Meanwhile the heels clicked upward
as steadily as he climbedV'after them.
Once when his own feet made a loud
sound the heels paused and then went
on more stealthily than before, and
he was careful to tread without a
sound. As be reached the eighth floor
he heard a door close softly halfway
down the corridor.
JIis apartment was halfway down
the corridor. He had left a light in
the hall, of course, but vihen he reach
ed suit A. which was iiis home, the
transom above the door showed black
and forbidding.
-The light was put.
He felt for his bunch of .keys and
then thought to turn the knob. It gave
easily, and the door opened into the
dark hail. A faint light from the cor
ridor streamed in and showed him
that the ball was empty, but that the
ball and chain that controlled the
switch were swinging violently from
the chandelier.
Somebody had touched the chain but
an instant ago. His hand found the
Incandescent bulb still warm from the
recent light. ,
A faint, very faint creepy feeling
stirred the roots of Rodney Flitman's
hair. It was unpleasant to feel that
there was a burglar in his home and
that a thin door was all that separat
ed him from him.
The watchman was eight stories be
low. A violent rapping on the floor
or a vigorous shout would bring him
upstairs witbin five minutes, but in
the meantime the Invaders of his home
would have fled by way of the fire es
cape and taken something with them.
Besides, Rodney suspected the burglar
to be a woman, and he was gallant
enough to desire to give her a chance
to escape, only he wanted her to give
up whatever she had taken.
Perhaps she had already been fright
ened away by his opening of the door.
If she went to the fire escape she would
surely lose her life, for he recollected
now with a sort of horror that the iron
stairway was coated with ice.
Resolutely he went forward and
opened the dining room door. He
heard a quickly indrawn breath like a
deep sigh and the rustle of a silken
skirt and then dead silence in the dark
ness. "Madam!" he whispered hoarsely.
Silence. " "
"Madam, I wish to be your friend,""
he continued in the same hoarse whis
per, feeling his way across the room.
"Leave everything behind and escape
now, while there is time. I will"
"Be silent!" hissed a woman's voice
In his ear, and something round and
cold pressed against his heck. "Speak
one word and you are a dead man!"
"But" protested Rodne indignantly-
"Don't move an inch. You will stay
where you are until my husband
comes!" she hissed in his ear.
For five minutes they stood thus, rig
Idly silent Presently Rodney felt the
pressure of the steel relax a trifle, and
at the same time something soft and
powdery sifted down his collar.
"What 'Is that sifiiyt. down my
neck?" he demanded suspiciously..
"Gunpowder. I suppose." she hissed
in his ear. "Will you keep still?"
"I've a good mind to call the watch
man," he whispered recklessly.
She laughed scornfully, a sort of whis
pering laugh thai thri!le;l through him.
"Perhaps I better call birn. I can
scream much louder than you can
shout." .
"You don't dare. How' would you
like to have handcuffs on your pretty
wrists?" lie retorted.
She was silent.
"If you will nive up the jewels I will
let you go without further trouble." he
said after awhile.
Again he laughed. "So kind of you!
But you are not detaining me. remem
ber." Rodney did remember all of a sudden
and felt foolish. He wondered if he
should suddenly turn upon her what
she would do. Would she really fire
off her weapon ? He knew these wom
en burglars were very clever and dar
ing, but her remark about gunpowder
escaping from the weapon she held at
his neck betrayed her ignorance of fire
arms. -
Rodney decided to remain perfectly
quiet. He was more afraid of a wom
an who did not understand the use of
firearms than one who did.
Minutes passed, aud he began to wor
ry about his wife. , Alarmed at &s long
absence from the dance, she would un
doubtedly Inquire fur him and mention
her fears to her hostess; then Mrs.
Wetmore 'would explain, and Maud
might call him by telephone to find out
what was the matter.
He was leaning against the wall now,
and, as he was quite tall, he could just
feel his hair brushing against the wall
bracket that held an electric light. So
stealthily did he move his left arm up
ward that his body remained quite rig
Id. It took him five minutes to raise bis
fingers to that they touched the switch.
Gently he twisted It until all at once
the room was flooded wiVi light.
It was such a surprise that both he
and the woman beside him remained
rigid for an instant. Then she recov
ered her wits first and broke into hys
terical laughter. He turned to her
and stared first at the silver salt shak
er which she had been holding against
his throat. He looked stupidly at her
gloved hands and arms, upward to
the long red evening cloak and lastly
ftt his wife's mirthful face, half laugh
ing, half crying, wholly excited.
"You!" he almost shouted.
"And you!'' shrieked Mrs. Flitman
hysterically.
"Well, you are a plucky one. Maud."
he admitted admiringly as he prepared
a restorative for her shattered-nerves.
"What are you doing here?" she ask
ed. '
"Wasn't sure whether I locked that
safe door after all." he said, "so I
came back to find out."
"I missed my key to the safe. I had
it tied around my neck. So I came
home. I was afraid I might have drop
ped it here and a burglar would find
it." - -
' "There were some suspicious looking
people in the elevator when we went
down that dark couple, you knosv."
"Oh. what do you think. Rod-they
were at the dance! .They happen to
be Mrs. Wetmore's cousins, and they
have taken an apartment here."
"Stung!" mourned Mr. Klitnim, de
prived of his last suspi-ia.
An Artist's Suggestion.
Sargent, the artist, once visited a
New York millionaire who posed aa a
collector of paintings. Sargent was
taken by this millionaire through a
huge gallery of dubious Rembrandts,
Titlans, Raphaels and Murillos.
- "Mr. Sargent" the millionaire said,
gazing pompously at the long lines of.
vast, dingy canvases. "I have decided
to leave my pictures to some public
.stitution. What Institution would
jiiu suggest?"
"I'd suggest," said Mr. Sargent, "an
Institution for theIind."

Ludwig Keferstein, has a paper fac

a divorce from his wife several years
before his financial trouble, but, ac
cording to the son, she followed them
to this country and is now in St Paul,
Minn. The young man said that his
mother and father had corresponded.
"My father had been restless dur
ing the early part of the night and got
up several times," said the son. "He
frequently did this and I thought
nothing of it. It must have been 12
o'clock when I was awakened by his
heavy breathing and put my
arm' under his head, as I frequent-'
ly did. His hair felt as if it were wet
and I got up and lighted the lamp .
Then I saw what had happened. - I
found the pistol beside him. I rush
ed into the room where my aunt was
asleep and told her father had been
shot. Then I went over to the hotel,
and asked the proprietor to send for
a'physician. I had no idea my father
had a pistol until I found he was shot
My aunt found several cartridges in
one of his pockets a few days ago,
but when she asked him what they
were for, he laughed and said they
had been given to him. He has brood
ed constantly ' over his losses, and
seemed to be particularly worried
over having lost the money my aunt
left me. I am sure he had no idea
of shooting himself when he came to
Oregon City for he was much more
cheerful than he had been for months.
He was pleased over having obtained
a permanent position, and we were
both delighted over the: chance to
come here and be with my aunt, who
had preceded us to the city."

are In a crude form, and the shelves
and pigeonholes that line the sides of
the shop are tilled with billets of wood

valuable. Then there are heaps of
bones of many kinds of animals, the
skulls of monkeys, the claws of the
tiger, hornSvOf buffaloes, tusks of ele
phants, etc.. tied with straps into bun
dles. In addition, you will find pack
ages of snake skins, bodies of insects
and many familiar spices, ihich as
cloves, allspice, nutmegs, cardamom

open boxes and give a balmy odor to
the atmosphere- of the store.

time which for you exists, and it is
abundant. What are you doing with ii

Our modern malady is gregariousness.
We must be in company chattering.
"To be always with others, always
gregarious, always chattering, like
monkeys in treetops. Is our ruling vice,
and this is the reason why we have no
time to read and why you see so many
people pass their leisure when alone in
whistling or whittling. They have time
