' -t? - il -THE; MeHNTNGOREGONIA,. MONDAY; -MAY 28, 1900. K REGATTA IN PORTLAND JlSKOAL MEETISG OF XORTHWEST OARSKEX TO BE HELD HERE. Billiard Flayer Trylae Ont for TOHrnaa?t-DoK . Fanciers Will "WiU Hold a Field Trial. Lovers of the clean and exciting aquatic sports -will -welcome the announcement that the annual regatta of the North Pa cific Association of Amateur Oarsmen Is to be held In Portland on July 3 and 4. Great Interest Is shown in the preparation among the three contesting clubs Victo ria and "Vancouver. B. C, and Portland. This will be the most successful affair of the kind evr held on the Coast. These annual regattas are held alter nately between the clubs of the associa tion, and have grown so popular In Brit ish Columbia that they are the great event of the season. A communication from Mr. Kent, sec retary of the association In Vancouver, B. C, received last week, announces that both Vancouver and Victoria are prepar ing to send a full delegation to compete In all the different events. Including fours, doubles, singles and canoe races. All the clubs are equipped with the fa mous Clasper cedar shells this" year, and the different crews feel sure that the win ners will have to make new records for the Coast. Around the P. R. C. The senior crew has improved steadily during the last week, and Is doing some work In the light' paper shell, while its new cedar is being polished and rigged for the season's racing. This crew is showing up much better than at first ex pected. All are young and strong, and feel confident of hanging the banner up at home this year. The announcement'of the Spring regat ta to "be held on June 9 has stimulated much interest among the Juniors during the past week. The first crew Bennett, Smith, Ormandy and Knight are working hard and showing much improvement. The second crew (Munro, Newman. Morton and Haradon have put in a good week's work under the watchful eye of the coach. The latest crew to turn out consists of J. Mackie, stroke; TV. Morse, No. 3; C Rowe, No. 2, and L. Steele, bow. This crew goes out for its daily spin every .morning, and is being carefully coached by Captain Scott, who reports It a husky lot of boys. Although late in beginning, it bids fair for a place in the association race. Hart and Scott have a number ot applicants for a fourth crew out for daily practice, and expect to put another crew in the shells this week. In the doubles. Ball and Stiles, Gloss and Knight, Peterson and McCabe and "Steele and J. Bell are all training hard, and will row try-outs at the club regatta on June 9. The senior single Is being looked after by Patton, while Ball and Gloss will com. pete In the Junior try-outs. Canoeing Is being practiced dally since the arrival of the new canoes. Prospects are good for some racing In this line. Mr. Packard, an ex-British Columbian, a good hand with the paddle, will give the boys some lively races. "WILL TEXPINS COME' IX? Quentlon That Is Xotv Agitating: Portlnnd Bovrlers. The extract from the letter of Samuel Karpf, secretary of the American Bowling Congress, to Secretary Mallory, published last week, has occasioned considerable comment among the bowlers here. There is a unanimity of opinion that any at tempt to install tenpins in the Northwest will "meet with failure, as the year of ex perience our bowlers had with the game was sufficient to show that it possesses none of the elements which make cocked hat an attraptive game, and where the lattor game has become once established there is no probability of so weak a game as tenpins ever gaining any foot hold. The Seattle Athletic Club ahout a year ago set aside one set of alleys for tenpins, but the experiment was a rank failure, as the Eastern game compared so unfavorably with the reigning game that it was soon out of business. The Spokane bpwlers were a long time In getting start ed on cocked-bat, but now the older game is practically discarded. Except in a few isolated cases tenpins has not been bowled in the Northwest for more than four years. The American Cocked-Hat Association has taken a decided stand against It. and there Is no reasonable fear that It will ever again be recognized by any of the association cluhs. A strong argument urged by. the Easterners Is the rage of tenpins in the East and the fact that cocked-hat is almost obsolete, except in tho vicinity of St. Louis. This, however, will have no effect here, as our bowlers will not be Influenced by the questionable taste of the Eastern people in the selec tion of a standard game. Owing to their limited experience with the game In the Eastern states the equipment and general conditions for "bowling cocked-hat are primitive, and cannot compare with the system used here. A taste of the associa tion game as bowled here would soonend the career of tenpins. The principal rea son for the supremacy of tenpins In the East Is the fact that the game Is kept before the public by the large supply h6uses. vThey- are owners or Interested In a vast majority of the public alleys, and as the cost of equipment and maintenance of tenpins is much greater than cocked hat, the former game is, kept to the front as a matter of self-interest, and to th s end. large sums are annually expended forM prizes, tournaments, etc. and tho dealers are repaid for their outlay by the in creased demand for supplies. There is not the slightest fear that tenpins will ever be revived here, as there Is not a bowler in the Northwest who would fa vor such a thing, and this is much to tholr credit. Mrs. Gordon "Win Hnndicnp Medal. The handicap bowling medal for women offered by the Multnomah Club some time ago was won last week "by Mrs. TV. A. Gordon for the second time In succesp'on. which gives her permanent possession. There has been a hard struggle for own ership, and Mrs. Gordon Is to be con gratulated upon her success in winning from a large field of competitors, includ ing all the well-known experts. Mrs. Gor don is a comparatively new bowler, but has -shown remarkable skill at the gam?, and has taken rank with the best bowl ers. Bowling is still popular with the ladles, and there promises to be a renewal of the craze at the opening of the next season. Four-Men Team Medal. There was a warm contest for the Mult npmah four-men team medals Monday night. Craft. Ball. King and TVels made a hard fight to retain the medals, but were obliged to yield them up to Culli son. Bailey. Freeman and Mallory. who won out with a margin of 2C pins and a team average of 15.37. Cullison's fine work was largely responsible for the result. His single game score of 77 Is the highest game recorded for several weeks. - . TKY-OUTS FOR TOURXAMEXT. Good . BIllInril-PlnjliiK Saturday at Commcreinl Club. -The first try-out of the hllllard and pool tournament was held at -the Commercial Club Saturday evening. This tournament will not end until June 20, when the final games, both of billiards, and pool. will be played. Two magnificent cues areH up for.lirst prizes one for each branch of the gsme. The Brunswlck-Balke-Collender Company- presented the committee In charge, as. a second billiard prize, a fine fnlald cue. and a voarl-handled cue Is of fered .as a second prize for the pool players.' These cue have-been on exhibi tion In the club reception-room for a week past, and there la , much. rivalry among the players, as well to obtain one of them as to ""worst the other fellow." The billiard games were opened by J. L. Dunlap vs. F. TV. Isherwood, TV. H. Hurlburt umpire, and Dr. F. S. Sklpp scorer. These are scratch men of the second class, and- played 75 points. Mr. Dunlap led from the first, and -was soon 20 points ahead, but Mr. Isherwood decreased this towards the middle of the game. when Dunlap again took a spurt and finished 75 to IsherwoodVs 44. Dunlap played a steady, even game, but Isherwood was far behind his usual good play. The pool -game- was opened hy Norman Ellsworth vs. G. A. Heidlnger, players in the first class, tand playing 100 points; except McMIcbael and Blumauer, these two are the "best players In the club, and ) the game was enthusiastically watched by a large audience. Heidlnger led from the start until the 12th frame, when Ells worth passed him. with the score' at SS to SL Here Heidlnger made a fine run, and in the 14th frame it was S3 to SI, in Heidinger's favor. The next frame was evidently the final, and 'keenest interest was aroused. Heidlnger broke, but made none and left them very much "bunched. Ellsworth made two and fell down, and then Heidlnger ran the game out to his credit, by making eight balls, the score being 100 to 93. During the first part of the game the score was 20 to 8 in Heid inger's favor, but Ellsworth's spurting proclivities enabled him to pass. The next game of pool occurs Monday, the 2Sth, between E. E. Michael and M. Blumauer. who are scratch men in the first class., and the result is watched with interest, for the winner will play Heid lnger on June 2 the loser of each game dropping out. Next on ,the list for bil liards is TV. H. Hurlburt vs. P. H. Trum bull, scratch men in the first class. Inas much as the looser is out of the race entirely, each man is getting himself In trim, and will not loose many opportuni ties for making points. Field Trial for Dors. Dog fanciers throughout the Northwest have been much encouraged by the un qualified success of tho kennel clubs and bench shows during the past few months, and, heing so encouraged, will continue their efforts toward the Improvement of the game dog by the establishment of field trials in the Northwest. So far these field trials are confined to California, where quail only are used. California breeders and fanciers consequently Tecelve all the henefit. There was an Impromptu meet ing of dog men Saturday at Seattle, where It was decided to organize for the further ing of field trials, and to that end have called a meeting of all Interested therein to be he'd In Seattle Saturday. June 2. "Walter F. Burrell, the president of the Portland Kennel Club, has taken the mat ter In hand here, and states that the ob ject of this preliminary meeting will be to elect officers, to adopt rules for the running of dogs, and to decide on the date of holding said trials. Portland will In all probability have a representative at the meeting. Sailed Anar From Arrest. P. 'A. Karnell, of Salem, Ills erstwhile friends say, will reach Cape Nome at the expense of other people. Four men of the same town made reservations for them selves" and a ton of freight at an outlay of JS3, but changing their minds In regard .to making the trie, they sent Karnell to Portland, they assert, to dispose of tho tickets. The latter sold his goods at face value,' but, it Is asserted, failed to make any returns to the owners, whereupon a warrant was sworn out for his arrest The police department looked for 5iim all day Saturday, but he kept low, and they were unable to find him. Suspecting that he might go to Nome, every passenger on both boats was observed, but no one an swering his description was. among them. Yesterday it was found out that he ac tually did take passage on the Noma City, and is now on his way to 'the frozen north. He probably "boarded the boat4 disguised, and was- thus able to elude the vigilance of the police. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND.

Much, that is taking place In connec tion with the expansion policy of the United States is no doubt open to criti cism, but the same 'can be said of every forward movement in history. The meas ures employed by those actually engaged In making history must necessarily be ten,, tative. says the United States Investor. It Is always assumed under such circum stances that mistake will occur. Tne wisdom of -a certain policy (except, of course, in connection with purely moral Issues) can never be absolutely taken for granted at the start. The event must de termine whether the policy pursued was wise or foolish. Consequently. It becomes all 'persons interested In affairs of state not to be overhasty in their Judgments of those who are now striving to shape the destinies of this Nation. It may be assumed that these are 'endeavoring to walk In the path -which Providence seems to be opening up before this people. It their purpose is not a -sincere one, if their ' motives are not disinterested, it may be .taken for granted that no lasting harm uo uuuc iiji iiauuu. it ia niiu a na tion as with an individual "There's a di vinity that shapes our ends, rough hew them how we will An Intelligent na tion, however, like an Intelligent person, while neveri clearly seeing the end from the beginning, is nevertheless capable ot forming some sort of an opinion regard ing the purposo for which it was. joe signed. . ' A Xataral Transition. It seems to us that the people now shap Inug the policy of this country have, with all their shortcomings, made no mistake in the fundamental position which, they have taken. Radical changes of policy are bound to awaken dread In certain minds, and nothing is likely to strike such pet sons as more radical than the changes that have occurred In the foreign polfcy of the United States In the- last two years. But that there 'has been any actual de parture by this country from the path which It had ieen pursuing, jnay be doubt ed. The chances that have so far been noted have been more apparent than real. The Nation has been pursuing a straight path from the beginning, md though up to two years ago few Americans were able to foresee the novel experiences which were Immediately In store for us, those ex periences may be considered the natural and inevitable outcome of all that had gone before. The future Is always Inscru table, the past Is easily read. Events which would haye seemed astounding In the prospective assume a very simpio character In the retrospect, Two years ago few dreamed that we should soon be a world power. Today 4t Is easy tosee that the events-" of nearly three centuries have been hastening us to that end. The Ultimate Center of Trade. Others may philosophize regarding the situation -as they will to us one "fact Is evident. The "star of empire is pursuing, as it always has pursued, a westward course, and Its course will not be stayed until It reaches the Pacific Coast of the United States. The shores of that Illimit able expanse are destined to be the seat of the world's greatest industrial activity. The, events of the last two years have be gun to make us ponder upon our destiny; but might It not have, been possible even prior to the battle of Manila Bay to see something of what was bound to come?' Had the past been allowed to have its due effect upon our thought, there could have been no doubt in the minds of the American .people that the ultimate center of trade would bo found on the shores of the Pacific Puck cpuld put a girdle -around the earth in 40 minutes, but It has taken -50 centuries for the star of empire to ac complish that end. Slowly but surely, however, the trade center has been trav eling westward, until today It has almost reached a point beyond which no further progress awaits It. The dawn of civiliza tion and of commerce took place, there is 'every reason to believe. In the Valley of the Euphrates. At the beginning of history the trade center of the world was at the head of the Persian Gulf. Modern research has brought to light much curi ous' and Interesting knowledge regarding the highly developed mercantile system that must have prevailed In that quarter of the earth long before Abraham came out of Ur of the Chaldees, that ancient emporium of trade. From the Euphrates the commercial center traveled westward to the Mediterranean. The civilization of Egypt is 'the admiration of all the ages. Tyre and Sidon were mistresses of the sea, their fleets touching the remqtest parts of the world as then known. Through Asia Minor to Greece, the- cen ter of civilization moved on. Later was built the great commercial center of Alexandria. On the fall of the Roman Empire the great Italian cities became the center of the world's trade. Venice, Genoaand the rest, possessed- marvelous wealth, as the result of tho great stream of commerce that passed through them between Europe and the East. Still later the center was shifted to the Low. Coun tries, and then to Great Britain. Today New York may truthfully be called the center of the world's commerce, but eventually she must give place to the Pa cific 'Coast of the United - States; ' The potentialities of the situation. over power the imagination. In -another decade thf United States will possess a popula tion of at least 100.000,000. Confronting us from the other side of the Pacific Is 'the most ancient of all empires, wjth a popu lation of over 400.000.000. In direct line with our trade poss'.billtles.Is another em pire (British East India) with 300.000.000 souls. Into the account must,-,also be taken the -44,000.000 that constitute the Japanese Nation, with their wonderful mechanical skill and their adaptability to "Western civilization. And to the south lies the Australian Continent, with In finite possibilities of trade with the Unffed States. Nor Is this all. for no one can yet estimate the advantages to accrue t,o this country from the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway system. The Importance of this enumeration Is In the fact that the life of the world's commerce hereafter is contingent Upon the opening up of the countries just men tioned to the influences of the outside world. All Ihcse trans-Pacific nations possess great potentialities of wealth. They are, and in increasing measure wjll be. In a position to absorb the excess prod uct of the Western nations. The Impor tance of this statement will be apparent to any one who knows how great is the need for enlarged markets for Occidental products. Much might oa said on this par ticular point, to be as brief as possible. It Is clearly understood by "all who have followed the Industrial situation careful ly that In most of the European coun tries, as well as in the United States; the Industrial situation has been "reduced to one of overcompetltion. TVealth has been created so fast that there has ap peared to be no other course for the rap idly accumulating capital but to seek em ployment in highly competitive" fields. Thoughtful minds perceive in the policy of territorial aggrandizement which, now characterizes every great nation of the earth merely an effort to obtain new mar kets for the absorption of surplus prod ucts. It Is eelf-evident that ir the Far East Is to become the great arena of .the trade contests ot.the future, the United States will be In a position -to obtain' the largest share of the advantages. Not even Russia herself, with her great overland railroad from jSurope to China, -can begin to compete- with us In transportation charges. In this one pJtlcular "we have an enormous advantage. The commodities which the East will requlro can be pro duced' by "us as cheaply, "as by. any, other nation- (even more cheaply, we believe). The natural tendency for 'American prod ucts (manufactured products at least) will sooner or later De Westward, just as the natural tendency of Oriental products will, we are convinced, be eastward. TVe say that the, ;natura1 tendency ot American, products will be westward. As each European nation develops its Indus trial situation to a higher ancl higher point, domestic competition Is hound to grow keener and to mak'e the entrance of for eign goods on profitable terms additionally difficult. -Relatively., therefore. trans-Atlantic commerce- Is likely .to be restricted more and more to the acraal necessities of life (such as food pn2uctj), while trans Pacific commerce expands In rapidly In creasing measure, as well In food prod ucts as In those commodities which are pretty sure to be ellmlna'ted from trans Atlantic trade by reason of the narrow margin of profit In European and American markets. , Hence the industries -of the United States will have- a tendency as t-me goes on to drift In the direction of the Pacific Coast. The aim will be to secure the longest water and tho shortest rail haul possible. It is by Keeping all that "we have said above. In, mind that we are able tojpercelve a wonderful development In store for tho western port of the United States. TVe are in the habit ot considering the progress of the West since the close of the Civil War as some thing astonishing, as unquestionably It Is: but what hsseo far been, accomplished is but the beginning f a xriovement which must eventually build up west of the Mis souri a civilization which. In point of bust ling activity, at least, must outstrip any thing heretofore witnessed on this globe. As an Incident In this movement, wo have In the last two yearn acquired im portant .foreign possessions in the Pa cific and in Asiatic waters., and have al ready made a powerful impress on the affairs of the Chinese Empire and of the European nations now engaged In securing- "spheres- of Inftuencu." In that em pire. In short, we are actively engaged In adapting ourselves to a new environ ment. The change In, our attitude, though striking Is not unnaturalj ,it is no more unnatural than the emerging of the butter fly from the chrysatls, or than the growth of the tree from the embryo.

General "Weed, Hevrever, Says He Dra-tTB en Private Means to Live in the Palace. HAVANA. May 27. American officials here feel that they have been unjustly treated by certain newspapers In the United States, which have published the sweeping statement that they all live ex travagantly. So far as theofflcers of high rank are concerned. General Wood occupies only a small portion" of the palace for residential purposes, the rest of the building being utilized for offices. A number of employes have to be kept at General Wood's ex pense, cleaners generally, and he says that if he did not have some private re sources to eke out his pay and his allow ance., it would bo next to impossible for him to llvo in the palace at all. Collector Bliss lives quietly in a single room at the Hotel Telegrafo, and Major Ladd, Chief Quartermaster, lives in a house which he shares with three other families. General Lee lives st headquar ters at Quemados, where do also all his staff officers. Colonel Whiteside at Santi ago, lives In a little bungalow, and many .officers live In buildings used by the Gov ernment, either as offices or police bar racks. General Wood sold today that he consid ered charges- of extravagance in the de partment, except the postal, unfounded, adding that ho- believed no other depart ment had anything to fear on that score, and that all could endure tho utmost in vestigation possible. A postal official, who has been displaced for more than a year, said that when the Americans first came there were no rec- rords and no furniture even: that the service had to bo. built up upon no foun dation, at all, and that the loose methods of former times had been carried on at some points, even to tho present day. On feature that enabled C. F. W. Neely to divert funds In a fashion exceedingly difficult to detect . was the custom of many Postmasters to pay cash for all the stamps taken from the department, while there was no rule for keeping hooks of account. As a result, the Inspector had no way of ascertaining how many stamps had been sold. This official believes that when all the books and papers have been investigated, the shortage will not amount to more than $100,000. SUGARING OFF. Methods Followed la 3Ialiins Maple Sngar lm Quebec. The season varies in length from 10 days to three weeks, and occurs between the 10th of March and the.-20th ot April. It la a period of exceptional activity, and every available member of the family Is presseJ Into service, district schools being closed. Sugar "bushes" contain from 400 to E000 trees. 'Five thousand are rare, M00 not uncommon; but the average "bush" contains from 1000 to 1500 trees, which yield from one to four pounds of sugar per tree during the season. Two and one-half pounds are considered an average yield, three pounds good, and four pounds per tree exceptional. Almost every farmer In Eastern Quebec Is a sugar manufacturer to the extent of from GOO to 15.000 pounds a year, or from one quarter of a ton to VA tons. There are no available da"ta from which to make anything like an 'accurate esti mate of the maple-sugar production of Canada, but from the facts already set forth. It will be seen at once to be of considerable importance. It Is, of course, well known that a great portion ot the maple sap Is neyer reduced to sugar, but Is finished as syrup; yet the yield Is al ways estimated In pounds of sugar, a gal lon of syrup being equivalent to seven pounds of sugar. The "tapping" of 2000 or 3000 trees, the Insertion of spouts, and the hanging of sap buckets is very quickly accomplished by the experienced sugar-makers, one man tapping from 500 to 600 trees a day. The gathering of the sap Is a much more serious matter. "When the "run" Is on, each tree has to be visited twice a day and the buckets emptied, their contents being received by a huge barrel drawn on a sled, hauled to the sugar camp, and transferred to a large tank, from which the sap Is drawn off Into tho evaporator. From this It emerges as syrup; and If sugar be desired. It Is passed Into another pan, where the "sugaring off" is com pleted. By a system of cross sections In the evaporating pan, with apertures alternat ing at either end, the sap Is forced slow ly along a zigzag course down the whole length of the pan from, the receiving compartment, where It Is thoroughly strained, to the finishing compartment, whence it Is drawn off through a faucet. TVhen the sap bolls too furiously, a few drops of milk act like magic In subduing It. The skilled sugarmaker can easily tell the proper consistency for syrup or sugar, but this Is more accurately gauged by a hydrometer, which Indicates the specific gravity of the liquid. The sugar molds fof lV4-pound cakes consist of a few par allel wooden bars connected by movable transverse Iron sections, from which the cakes may easily be removed. Edible Seaweed. Good "Words. The uses to which algin can be put are varied. It can- be used for.slzing fabrics, and as a mordant in dyeing it has been authoritatively stated that It possesses very valuable properties. In these direc tions, more than in any other, a great commercial future is predicted for it. Per haps Its most interesting use to the gen eral public consists in Its value as an article of food. Everybody knows that seaweed In various forms Is at the pres ent day largely used for this purpose. Green and pink laver are sometimes used In soups, and murllns are eaten In Ireland. In "Wales seaweed fried in oil Is a com mon article of diet, while In London It finds Its way to some tables boiled like greens. Dulse is a species of ware which, even In its raw state, is far from being unpalatable; the opinion Is held In some Highland quarters that a dish of dulse, boiled In milk. Is fit to set before a King. Every Hebridean youth is a connoisseur of the edible properties of tangle: pref erence Is usually shown for the root of the plant, as being sweeter than the stem. In China and Japan seaweed Is largely used for food, and for special varieties very large prices are obtainable. Two of these edible seaweeds, green and pink laver, both British species, are worth In Yokohama no, less than 4 shillings per pound. It may. here be noted that, un like the fungi, there are no poisonous species of seaweed. The gelatinous prin ciple In certain kinds of ware is of special value In making jelly. Irish moss, which Is exported from Ireland to this coun try and Germany, belongs to this spe cies, and from another variety is obtained the substance known as gelolse or Japa nese isinglass. "WonderiHl Memories ot the Blind. TYoman's Home Companion. The acuteness ot their memories seems to,"be a compensation for the blind. One of the visitors to the reading-room for the blind In the National Library at "Washington expressed a desire to learn to use the typewriter. There was none provided, so Mr. Hutcheson ,.very klndlj" sent down his own. The girl sat down to the machine and had explained to her the position of the letters, ahdthe kefybqard slowly read to her twice.' "Sfie practiced for -a few moments, and then wrota a letter in which there "were only three mistakes, a feat which would be difficult for a seeing person to surpass. One after noon Mrs. Ward, the Kansas vice-regent of the Mount Vernon Association, read In the Pavilion. While doing so she repeated Iron Quill's well-known verses on Dewey's victory, beginning, "Oh, Dewey was tho morning." Later In the afternoon one of the blind listeners brought to her a com plete copy of all of the verses, which he had remembered from, hearing her. DEDICATED -7ITH WHISKY. A Bottle ot tne Stn Broken Over the Spire ot tfee Sew CUnrcn. Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Congregational Church at Austin burg, O., was dedicated as a house of worship by the breaking of a bottle ot -whisky over itfl spire. This town, lo cated six miles south of Geneva, will next June celebrate the 100th anniversary of Its settlement, and the old church near Its geographical center hae the distinction of being the first frame churclf built upon the Western Reserve. The days when this1 church was built were avowedly the days of whisky. It was the day when the drink was poured out freely by all who attended the "rais ing" of a building, and when every one partook of It as we of the present would dink a glaes of lemonade. Even the Rev. 'Giles WV Cowles, the hero of Austlnburg and veteran minister of the county, par took of the "firewater," and pastors sub sequently filling the pulpit of the church stopped at the village store, before and after attending service, to take an "eye opener." The "raising" of the church occupied a whole week, having been begun on Mon day morning- and completed Saturday af ternoon. On' the last day the entire com munity was upon the scene to - witness the dedicatory ceremonies. As none of those erecting the building would climb to the top of the spire, which is over 100 feet from the ground, the services of a lake sailor were procured. With a rope In his hand, he climbed to the top most point of the edifice, and. ne the last timber was placed, he drew a bottle of whisky from the ground by means of a rope and, breaking it over the spire, shouted: "Three cheers for the new church!"

Robinson yesterday for a. suit of clothes. The clothing dealer sus pected the man on receiving the check, and investigated the matter as soon as the customer left. Finding the man had no funda In the bank, he swore out a war rant for his arrest. Zigler appeared ra tional when arrested, and told Chief Mc Laughlan a plausible hnrd-luck etory of his coming from Iowa. Jailer Johnson, looked Into the matter a little further, however, and after going through the sweatbox Zigler confessed that he was an escaped Insane patient. The Asylum authorities at Salem were notified, and will send for him this morning. A Memorlnl Address. CINCINNATI. May 27. At the general convention of the New Jerusalem Church today. Rev. Julian K.
