Than anything he has met with in a long
time. A 'woman, left a widow and penni
less, with three children to support, has
been working at washing and other labor
uncomplainingly, ana doing her best to
support her little ones. On New Tear's
day she went to see the woman in her
lodgings In the upper story of the Mar
quam building, at the corner of Sixth and
"Washington, to get her to do some work,
und found the elder of the three children
trying to cook a meal, and the next young

what she feared was diphtheria. She was
prostrated with grief, and said she had
endeavored to keep up her courage and
j.ot repine, but when the child was taken
with this dread disease she broke down,
iledlcal assistance was procured at once,
and the distress of the little family tem
porarily relieved, but there is still an op
portunity for the kind-hearted to render
assistance, and their attention is called to
this pitiful and deserving case for charity.

house and was placed under arrest. At
the central station he Eaid that his brother
John came home Sunday night well under
the Influence of liquor, and, passing
through the gateway, he stumbled, strik
ing his head on a fence picket, which ac
counted for the wound in his head. The
noise made by his brother aroused Peter
from his sleep, and going out he assisted
him in the house and sent for a physi
cian. When brought to the station, Dolan
was intoxicated, although he denied hav
ing been drinking. He will have an ex
amination in the municipal court today.

story building to be erected by Judge
Stearns at the northeast corner of Morrl

fronts of plate-glass principally, and the
handsome main entrance will be on the
corner. As the building is not to be occu
pied till fall, building operations will not
be commenced till about May 1. when the
weather has become settled. Judge Stearns
Is entitled to much credit for starting the
Kood work of doing away with the shan

example worthy of being emulated by
other property-owners interested in the
advancement of Sixth street.

Passed a Bogus Gold Coin. The latest
case of passing counterfeit money was re
ported yesterday. It occurred Saturday
last. An unknown person hired a room at
the corner of Sixth and Main 6treets for
a week for 52, and gave the woman of the
house a 53 piece in payment, receiving $3
In change. He did not return to occupy
the apartment, and a closer Inspection of
the S3 piece disclosed that It was bogus.
The matter was reported at the police sta
tion. Pupils in the Schools. The number of
pupils attending the public schools keeps
on increasing all the time. At the close
of last week there were 606 at the high
school and JCGO In the grammar schools,
and they are not all in yet. The directors
will have to get work started on the new
school buildings and the additions placed
on the old ones as soon as possible, or they
will be snowed under by the children.

THE ROUNDER A HAPPY MAN
He Dnly Celebrate the Defeat of
Mr. Bolph.
The Old Rounder returned to Portland
from Salem yesterday afternoon, looking
somewhat the worse for wear. His new
clothes were wrinkled, his shoes unpol
ished, hli linen very much rumpled, and
a new stove-pipe hat, which It seems was
one of the recent fruits of his unaccus
tomed prosperity, had been soiled and
brushed the wrong way. and made a very
sorry appearance. If the truth must be
told, it is that the old fellow had not
confined himself strictly to looking upon
the cup which cheers and also Inebriates,
but had been partaking copiously thereof.
He had been celebrating the defeat of Mr.
Dolph. Notwithstanding his dllapltated
appearance he was quite joyous, and full
of information about the result of the
senatorial fight. He unbosomed himself
In this wise, at a downtown resort, last
night, being, as usual, full of strange
figures of speech:
"The goldbug octopus has struck the
legislative buzzsaw, and there hain't
enough left to make a respectable load of
slabwood. The Old Iceberg has had a
wrastlln match with the fiery furnace of
public opinion, and oh, what a water-fall
was there, my countrymen! The jooger
not has slipped a cog, and has gone bump
In along to the roundhouse for repairs. The
cause of the people is fairly in it, and
truth crushed to earth will at last git a
move on. Free silver Is no longer a beau
tiful dream or a barren iddyalllty, but
Jonathan and Keady kin now sell them
mines. Sic Semper tarantulus, glorious In
excelsior, e pluribus unum, as we say in
Latin," and the Rounder wiped away
what seemed to be a tear of joy.
"Well, 'tain't no use to tell you how we
done It. We done It, and we done It
brown. Jonathan and Keady and me is
three of a kind that's hard to beat. I was
a-talkln' to Keady about It a-comln' down
on the railroad car, and Keady got so
tickled about it that he shoved his head
out of the window to prevent people a-
rBirl?tii9-tfboillBlirgletrthntvreian-litinr
inatin his countenance: While in that
position a most unfortunate thing oc
curred. Keady he got to thlnkln what
a brainy man him and Jonathan was,
and his head swelled up so he couldn't
git It back In the car. You bet, Jonathan
ho never got caught like that 'cos he
couldn't git his head out to start with.
"Things was just a-bllln In Salem Sat
urday. Old Dolph, he wouldn't lay down.
The boys they was all a-layin low, a
votln for Williams and Fulton and
Tongue, ready to spring Lord on the leg
islature whenever he give em the tip.
Klncald, he had his ear to the ground,
a-waltin for the summons for him to be
governor, to come a-gallopln up. And
that was where the hitch was. The boys
didn't give a cuss what happened, if they
could git Lord In, but there was a un
accountable prejudice among the Dolph
men agin makln' Klncald governor. So I
went to Klncald, and 1 says, says 1:
" 'Klncald,' says I, 'pull out.'
" "Pull what out?' says Kincaid.
" 'Klncald,' says I, 'it's you that's a
blockln' the game. Shove the buck.
" 'Do your own shovln yourself," says
Klncald, a-gettln wrathy. 'To what are
you a-deludln?'
"Klncald, says I. 'you've got a chance
to Immylate yourself on the altar of youn
sufteiin' kentry. You are one of the old
newspaper guard. Klncald, and your
true attitude is a-straddle of the tripod,
a-moldln' public opinion at ?2 per year,
payable strictly In advance. 'Klncald,'
says I. 'rise to the occasion, and go back
to your sanotum sanctorum. Resign.'
" 'Never.' says Kincaid. 'The old guard
dies, but It never resigns.'
" 'Klncald,' says 1, 'the scheme is to
make Jonathan secretary of state. We
want to boost Lord into the senate, and
the boys don't want nobody in his place
that'll rattle around in his shoes and
stockins like a fishpole ip a bar'l.' Then
I told Kincaid a story with a moral for
a clincher. 'Onct Christmas was a-com-InV
says 1, 'and there was a young lady
told her voung man she was a-goln' to
hang up her stockln and she expected
him to give her somethln' to fill It full
tl bustin'. H" said he would, and when
Christmas come, he presented her with
a long candy cane. Now they don't speak
as they pass by. Now, Kincaid,' says I,
'the moral is, you're the candy and Lord's
the stockln. You don't fill the bill. Cre
ate a vacuum in your office and have
Lord applnt Jonathan to the vacuum.
Then when Jonathan gits to be governor,
he'll applnt you agin to your present
exalted position. See?'
" 'No, I don't see,' says Kincaid, very
wild. 'When I want advice. I don't pro
pose to summon to my counsels an un
licensed distillery. It's agin my W. C. T.
U. principles. If Lord gits to be senator,
I'm a-goln to be governor, and with the
governorship stand, with appointments
in my vest-pocket, and the helium of state
in my hand. And he added a remark that
his door closed on the outside for some
people a dern sight better than it opened.
Which Is why I rise to remark. Is there
no more patriots among us? Is liberty
dead, or only gone a-gllmmerin? Has
the Golden Rule been repealed?
"Well, that explains why Lord wasn't
the choen people; but, all the same,
Joe Simon come home a-slngln a tear
fetclnn dirge called, 'Where, Oh, Where
is the Hebrew Children?'
"McBride was a surprise party to old
Dolph. and when his lily-white bands got
a grip on the tall of the senatorial race
hoss, he never let go. The goldbugs Is
tickled 'cos they think McBride is dead
nuts on free silver. But he'll fool em.
He ain't goln back on the people of the
nation who are a-ciyln for free silver. I
wont to McBride, Saturday, an I says:
" "George, the boys wants to know how
you stand on the money question?'
' 'I ain t got notfcin for you, savs
George.
" 'George. says I, l ain't on that lay
thls time. The boys has appointed me a
committee of one to ascertain If you are
fur or furnlnat free silvers or otherwise.
Are you a-standin' in the breach a-up-
hoknn the undyin cause of free silvor. or
have you been bought with goWbug goiar
" "My friend,' he says, l have not been
bought with goldbug gold. I'm a-standin'
with both feet en the requblican platform
which declares in burnin' words for pro
tection to American industries.
" 'George,' says I, 'shake. Free silver
is a American Industry which has long
been a-langulshin" because Grover has sot
down on it with his heavy-weight mes
sages to congress. What the kentry needs
is a able statesman to jine Senator Stew
art and Senator Jones and Senator Peffer,
who says nothin' and gets it printed in
the Record just in order to help the print
ers make a livin. Let your whiskers grow
and jlne 'cm,' says I.
"Well, the legislature has dissoluted, but
its memory, like a fragrant flower, will
hang around for quito a spell. Its mem
bers have took a tearful adieu of their
lady clerks, and one last fond llngerin
look at the busted state treasury. To use
the language of the immortal poet:
" 'You may break, you may shatter the
pot, if you will.
"But the scent of the boodle will cling to
it still.' "
"The goldbug press Is a-denouncln the
high-minded gentlemen who stayed at Sa
lem 40 days and 40 nights a-leglslatin for
the people, and says it is a legislature of a
thousand infamous Jobs. But the people
has only got one kick comln. While the
legislature was a-passln bills for free
bridges for them so unfortunate as to live
in East Portland, and free water for them
as don't know no better than to drink it.
why didn't It pass my bill to issue bonds
for the city to buy Weinhard's brewery
an' make beer free. That's what I'd like
to know."
PANCAKE DAY IS HERE.
With. a. Fe-rr Remnrli on the Gentle
Art of Bnkins Them.
Today being Shrove Tuesday, or Pan
cake Tuesday, the ladles of one or more of
the Episcopal churches have made prepa
rations for its proper celebration. For the
benefit of the unregenerate, it may be said
that shrove Is a part of the verb shrive, to
hear a confession, and that Shrove Tues
day is the first Tuesday following Sumqua
gesima Surday. and preceding Ash Wed-day,isthefi.-stTuesday
following Qulnqua
gesima means 50th, and Quinquagesima
Sunday Is about the 50th day before Lent.
Of course, everybody knows what Lent is.
It was formerly customary in England, on
Shrove Tuesday, for the wicked people to
confess their sins, one by one, to their
parish priests, after which they dined on
pancakes, and had a very jolly time, and
sang "We Will a-Shroving Go."
The confessing of sins one by one has
been dispensed with In this region, as no
day is long enough to get through with
the job at that rate, but the eating of
pancakes has not been abandoned, and is
observed often enough to make up for the
omission of the confession. Like every
thing else In that line, a pancake must be
cooked before It can be eaten, and there Is
quite an art In cooking pancakes. Many
residents of this coast, who have worked
in the mines in early days, are past mas
ters of this art, and can throw a pancake
out at the top of the chimney and run out
side and catch It in the pan before it
reaches the ground. This skill is only ac
quired by long and arduous practice, and a
penalty Is imposed on bungling, which re
quires the person who lets a pancake or
slapjack fall on the ground or floor to eat
It afterward. A gentleman, now one of the
leading citizens of Portland, long ago com
posed an ode on "Sunday Morning in a
Mining Camp," in which the whole process
of cooking slapjacks is described, which
concludes with the following striking lines:
"And the thrilling note of the jaybird
stopped
As the luscious flapjack softly flopped."
All the Incidents connected with pan
cakes are not so poetical or pleasing, and
it need not be supposed that they are any
kin to angel cake. This Is shown by the
fact that Mrs. John Angel was yesterday
granted a divorce from her husband by
Judge Stearns on account of cruel and In
TmmannreatrflenfTwlth",plftreaTtes?iner leges that while she was cooking pancakes
or slapjacks for their breakfast, her hus
band. In a fit of rage, seized the pile of
slapjacks she had cooked and slapped her
across the face with them. This was the
most unkindest slap of all, and she con
cluded to divest herself of her angelic des
ignatlon, and the plumage which went
along with It, and the court granted her
the separation asked. This, however, has
nothing to do with the pancake day above
mentioned.
From Galveston to Vancouver every
good cook knows the value of Dr. Price's
Baking Powder.
A SURPRISE TO BOTANISTS
White Flower Found on the Com
mon Wild Currant.
Everybody knows the pretty pink or red
flowers of the wild currant (Rlbes San
guineum), a shrub common on the hill
sides back of the city, and in brushy
places throughout a large portion of this
state. The showy racemes of this plant
are among the earliest to blossom, and
are eagerly sought for by children and old
folks as well. It will surprise many to
learn that two plants of this currant
have been found bearing white flowers.
One was found on the hills back of town
by a little boy and girl last year, and the
other was found out on the Powell's val
ley road. One was secured by a florist,
and the other by a citizen, and both are
propagating plants by cuttings. The dis
covery of these plants, which are exactly
similar to the red-flowered ones except
in point of color, has caused quite a flut
ter of excitement among local botanists,
who can offer no explanation of the phe
nomenon. In view of the fact that hun
dreds of people, old and young, have gone
out every spring for many years gather
ing these currant flowers. It is wonderful
that none of the plants bearing white
flowers have ever been discovered before,
and it is equally wonderful If the two
plants found are the only ones of the
kind. Are they a sport of nature or a new
variety, a sort of special creature, or has
the white flower been evoluted from red
ones?
Mr. E. W. Gorman will send slips of the
new plant and specimens of the flowers
to Berkeley and San Diego, Cal., for pro
fessors of botany there to report upon.
The discovery of a new plant or new vari
ety of any species, while esteemed of but
little importance by the general public,
is a matter of Intense interest to all bot
anists the world over.
Mr. Gorman, who was out in the coun
try Sunday last, says the wild flowers are
coming out earlier than he has ever seen
them. He saw in blossom patches of the
pretty little Syntheris rotundifolia, which
Is the very- first wild flower to bloom in
Oregon; also a species of skunk cabbage
in bloom, as well as alder, hazel and sev
eral varieties of willow. This may be
taken as indication of an early spring.
A young gentleman who spent his early
years In Polk county, says that the whlte
blossomed variety of the wild currant is
common there, and that, in his father's
garden, they had a bush of the white, and
one of the red kind. From this, it is prob
able that the white-flowered shrubs found
here have strayed down from old Polk,
which is a fine country, and which prob
ably derived the plant from Yamhill, which
boats the world and always has.

THE EARTH TREMBLED.
A Sliprht QnaUe Visits Portland and
Awakens Light Sleepers.
Did you feel it? That was the unusual
salutation that early-risers yesterday
morning were greeted with. A seismal
disturbance of the earth's surface in this
vicinity was the cause of the query. At
4:47 o'clock in the morning a slight earth
quake shock was felt, and those who
were awakened, or are light sleepers, ex
perienced the tremor. The vibrations
were from north to south, and the first
shock was quickly followed by two others,
each ahout three seconds In duration. Al
though plainly perceptible, the shocks
were not severe, and, aside from the
rattling of loose window frames, and the
swinging of picture frames and hanging
lamps, there were no unsual indications
of the presence of the seismic visitor. So
faint was the trembling that the self
registering barometer in the office of the
weather bureau showed no trace of vi
bratory action, and Observer Pague
says that on Sunday night there was no
indication of earthly or atmospheric dis
turbance. Portland has several times been visited
by earthquake shocks. The most severe
one was on the afternoon of October 12,
1S77, when several shocks followed each
other in rapid succession. There was a
lively rattling of dishes, and the walls
in several houses were cracked. Men,
women and children rushed into the
strets, and for a few minutes great ex
citement prevailed. The public schools
were in session at the time, and the pupils
in the upper rooms of the old Central
schoolhouse, standing on the present site
of the Hotel Portland, for a moment
thought the building would topple over,
as It swayed toward the postoflice. A
large crack in the north end of the build
ing, caused by the shock of 1S77, Is still
to be seen. On February 21, 1S92, several
slight shocks were experienced In the
evening, and on the afternoon of April
17, in the same year, three distinct shocks
were also felt. The earthquake of yes
terday is the first experienced In Port
land for three years.
Many people refuse to believe that there
was an earthquake, and by far the largest
majority did not notice it. Mr. E. W. Mas
ten, who lives at Irvington, says he and
his wife were awakened-by the shaking of
their house at 4:47 A. M., and that the win
dows rattled in a very lively manner for a
short tlmeafter. Mrs". C. A. Coburn. who
resides on-the Eastld-ns'aTsoa'tvaKen'
ed by the shaking, aha' so was 'Judge
sTorthup, who lives at The Hill house.

BURNING THE BRIDGES.
The immigration now coming to Oregon
is as distinctive and different from all
other immigrations as were those of 1S49
and 1S52. They are composed of people
who have endured successive drouths,
freeze-ups, grasshoppers and blighting
winds, and who have been the helpless
victims of all the plagues which rise up
to torture and to pester mankind, and
hence they must go somewhere go any-
ncic duu xusr uie ueiiei, xui putoJ
itself could possess no more evils than
they have been called upon to endure.
Hence they pack up their baggage, dump
their wives and their babies into the car,
turn their faces to the setting sun, and
burn the bridses behind them. "When
they get here, they ask no questions
about wages, nor about the prices of
crops, nor about the climate or soil, but
are content to know that we neither dry
out nor freeze out; that we never have a
failure of crops; that irrigation is not
necessary; that our climate Is healthy and
free from pestilence; and, therefore, when
they manage to live and educate their
children and have a roof over their heads
and plenty of bread and meat to eat, they
are contented contented because that is
better than it would have been If they
had remained where they were. This sort
of immigration Is what we want most
when they come with money they are
fussy, they are notional, they are whim
sical, and they usually run around till they
are broke, and then go back to where
they came from. But the fellow who
comes wltli no money knows that to re
turn home means that he will still have
no money and no chance to make any.
It Is a mistaken notion that we want
affluent and well-to-do immigrants. We
want robust manhood and healthy wives
and children we want families that are
raised to work from the cradle to the
grave who do not expect something for
nothing, and do not rail at their fate be
cause the luxuries of life are not placed
before them on a silver platter; and to all
such we bid a hearty welcome.

We have completed our Inventory and
closed our books for 1534. We wish to
thank our friends for their kind patronage,
and take pride in stating that our trade,
since removing to our new store, corner
Third and .Oak streets has been far ahead
of our most sanguine expectations. It
proves that the public appreciates honest
values and fair dealing. Our aim has
been and will be to give good, reliable
clothing at reasonable prices. We are
making at our mill in Albany lines of
neat, desirable patterns In cheviots, cassl
meres and tweeds for spring and summer
trade. We have also placed our advance
orders for the latest effects In Imported
fabrics. These, as well as our own make
of goods, will be made In regular, short
and stout, long and slim, and extra sizes,
enabling us to fit any one. Our country
order tradk by samples has Increased so
that we were obliged to open a separate
department for same, and we send sam
ples and cuts of all lines, with plain rules
for measurement, free to any address.
This coming season we intend to devote
more attention to our boys and children's
department, and shall carry full lines of
novelties and staples. Our uniform de
partment ha3 been a great success. We
equipped the Oregon National Guard, Port
land military band. Oregon Soldiers'
Home, American District Telegraph Com
pany, Pacific Postal Telegraph Company,
reform school, United States llfesaving
service and many others. We are pre
pared to submit bids for uniforms for any
organization, as our electric factory is
complete In every respect. We employ
white labor at both factory and mill, and
the money paid us for clothing remains
on the coast.
To make room for our spring stock, we
have decided to allow a discount of 10 per
cent on every article in our stock, includ
ing four lln3 of Steln-Bloch Co.'s blue
and black extra-long kersey overcoats,
which were delayed In transit. As our
prices were reasonable before the cut.
an extraordinary opportunity Is offered
for a short time. For the same reason we
offer in our custom-tailoring department
to make suits to order in cheviots, tweeds

Yes; they're talking about it, and about
our clothing, tco. Well they may be, for
there is nothing in Portland better worth
talking about. To have the weather suit
you, you must be suited for it from our
stock. Two points about our clothing
stand out blazingly visible, like Mount
Hood the style and value. There's no mis
taking the fashionableness of our suits
any more than there is the economy of
buying a good article at our figures. In
buying a suit get something that won't
need to be duplicated to get you through
the season without looking seedy.
