MRS. GREGORY'S TROUBLES
Daughter of Methodist Preacher
3InUes Charges Against Parents.
Concerning the troubles of Mrs. Greg
ory, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J. J.
Walter, and her charge that her parents
are at the bottom of her woe. the Ta
coma Ledger, Saturday morning, had the
following:
"Mrs. W. S. Gregory, the daughter of
the Rev. J. J. Walter, bishop of Episcopal
missions in Alaska, and a bride of only
three months, is ill and among strangers
In the Royale, a lodging-house near the
corner of Thirteenth street and Pacific
avenue.
"Mrs. Gregory has a sad story to tell.
Three months ago she married in Port
land W. S. Gregory. She says now that
he did not love the man whom she prom
ised to love, cherish and obey, and mar
ried him because her parents almost
forced her to do so. Her father, the
bishop, had a clause Inserted In his will
that If his daughter ever left her hus
band she was to be cut off with a single
dollar.
"About a month ago Mr. Gregory op
ened up a restaurant on Pacific avenue
between Tenth and Eleventh streets. His
wife was the cashier, and the mother of
the bride acted as general manager. Mrs.
Gregory now says she was compelled to
leave her husband two weeks ago be
cause he was fonder of her mother than
he was of her, and that he utterly re
fused to provide for her.
"She needed a pair of shoes and took
money enough out of the till to buy a
pair. The restaurant did not prove a
success and when the crash came, Mr.
Gregory blamed his wife for the failure.
She says that if she even looked at a
customer while taking in the money her
husband would snub her for hours, and
make open love to her mother.
"After the restaurant suspended opera
tions Mrs. Gregory went to visit some
friends in Portland, and despite the fact
that she was penniless they refused to
aid her, believing the story told by her
mother and husband that Mrs. Gregory
had eloped with a gambler. The young
woman says this statement is a cruel
slander.
"Coming back to Tacoma, Mrs. Gregory
was taken ill, and was at the Fanny
Paddock Hospital a few days. She left
the hospital two days ago, and has since
been stopping at the Royale. She says
she Is yet too weak to do anything for
herself, and that it is worse than useless
to appeal to her husband or her mother.
As soon as she is a little stronger, she
says, she will pawn her diamonds and
Jewelry and raise money enough to go
somewhere she does not care where to
find work.
""When the restaurant ceased doing bus
iness the waiters were not paid and
they attached the goods. Am&ng the lat
ter Is a piano which Mrs. Gregory says is
her Individual property, and she wants
to get it back.
"Mrs. Gregory makes no secret of the
fact tha she believes her husband is in
love with her mother and that the feel
ing is reciprocated by the older woman.
She says she does not know, nor does she
care now, where her husband and mother
are, as she Intends to make her own way
in the world if she possibly can. She
says It is useless for her to appeal to
her father, who has gone back to his
work in Alaska, as he it was who almost
forced her to marry Gregory."

FIRST SHIRT-WAIST MAN
ARRIVAL OF A DRESS REFORMER
IX PORTLAND.
He Gives His Reasons for Wearing
a Shirt "Waist and' Admires
Portland Scenery.
The shirt-waist man has reached Port
iind. Yesterday afternoon at one of the
hotels was seen a young man. seemingly
about 25 years old, strong and vigorous,
with a sturdy figure that would rival
the erect bearing of a West Point grad
uate, and a healthy glow on his face that
bespoke a familiarity with open-air life
In the mountains or at the sea-coast re
sorts. He was the type of the athletic
young American that can return a ball
over a tennis net with a rattling good
swash, or loft a golf ball over a trouble
somo bunker. But his manly form and
physique were not the chief distinguish
ing feature of his appearance. He wore
no coat. The tyranny of a tweed coat
and Vest he had cast off, and he strode
about the lobby with his broad shoulders
well back, reveling in the freedom of a
neat golf shirt pure white with cuffs at
tached, neat gun-metal link cuff buttons,
a rather low turn-over collar, with a
plain black bow tie. Light gray flannel
trousers, Oxford tan shoes, a crimpy straw
hat, with plain black band and blue
stripe, and a broad gray leather belt com
pleted his attractive Summer costume.
"Now, isn't that sensible, ' was the aud
ible comment of all the envious men, at
tired In conventional costume of -long-tailed
coat and vest. "The emancipation
of man from coats, vests and pockets
has come, and we're glad it has. Next
season we'll all wear them," said they.
The young man did not notice the looks
of admiration at his independence, quiet
ly lighted his Havana and delved around
until he found his favorite New York
paper. Nor was he difficult to engage In
conversation.
"What the newspapers have called the
'shirt-waist man'. In analogy to the 'shirt
waist girl,' said he, "has come to stay.
In Portland, where the weather is cool
and delightful all Summer, I doubt
whether conditions would have brought
about such a radical change of costume
as the discarding of the coat in Sum
mer. "But, pray, what is the use of be
ing tyrannized by conventions when the
thermometer goes up to 100 in the shade
and tho sweltering heat makes every ad
ditional layer of clothing a positive tor
ture? Now that is the condition that con
fronted the men of New York. The in
novation came, of course, from the
younger men, and the first man to aban
don the coat I do not know, but at any
rate the change has become popular, and
is here to stay.
"Now, I am a philosopher about clothes.
Why, the clothes do not make "he man,
any more than a golf suit mates a golf
player. I believe a man should dress for
comfort first, above all thlngse. Then
as neatly as his income will afford, and
with some regard to the pursuit or occu
pation in which he is engaged. It will be
some time before a Judge on a bench or
a lawyer addressing a jury, or a minister
In a pulpit, will appear In a coatless
fashion. But there Is rib reason why a
business man should not dress comfort
ably In the Summer time.
"In New York a friend of mine braved
criticism by appearing coatless, In com
pany with a 'shirt-waist girl' for luncheon
at the Waldorf-Astoria. Maybe It didn't
create a buzz but not of criticism, of
envy and universal approval. Now, the
custom Is becoming quite general, and the
coatless brokers of the New York Stock
Exchange are making a fight for their
rights to appear in that way on the floor.
'Liberty, equality, fraternity, emancipa
tion from the tyranny of the coat, is
their battle-cry:"
The interviewer ejaculated: "But how
about pockets?"
"Two side trousers pockets," said he,
:for purse, matchbox, knife, etc. Two
hip pockets, with flaps and buttons, one
for cigar case, the other for case con
taining pencil, memoranda and blank
checks. Watph in front watch-pocket;
handkerchief tucked neatly away in an
unnoticeable side pocket in the shirt.
You've got me. Where would a Westerner
carry a gun?
"Portland as a Summer resort? Delight
ful. Portland has three things which
would make any city famous: Good
hotels, superb scenery", and the best water
In the United States.
"I could sit for hours In a nook I have
found on the Heights, and look at the
grandeur of Mount Hood. To a New
Yorker, whose idea of the power and im
mensity of tho universe is gained from
sky-scraping buildings, monster bridges
and puffing trains and steamers, the view
of the snow peaks is inspiring and rest
ful. Think, also, of the trip up and down
the Columbia. The Hudson is not to be
compared with the grandeur of your
Western waterway. But it has the charm
of Nature assisted by art, and the in
terest of seeing pretty villas and stately
palaces on the banks. This the Columbia
will get some day.
"I can't understand why the people
leave during Summer for recreation, 1
suppose. The coast is delightful, and I
enjoy it, but I like quiet city life strolls
In the parks, a row on .the Willamette, a
long street-car ride to ifie wooded parts
of the city, a mix and foursome over
the golf links, a match or two of tennis,
and, above all, a long drive on the White
house road.
"I'll tell you a secret, old man: I'm
coming to Portland next year and on my
honeymoon."
EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Work in
the Shipyards Other
Matters.
At tho several shipyards there is coa.
siderable activity. In the Johnston yard
tho shapely propeller, 140 feet long, for
Jacob Ivamm, Is under construction and
progressing satisfactorily. The new craft
is being built in a substantial manner,
and from her appearance on the ways
will glvo a good account of herself In the
matter of speed. Captain Hill's new
stem-wheeler, Tahoma, which Is moored
In front of the Johnston yard receiving
machinery from the old Governor Newell,
Is about ready for the trial trip. Nearly
all the machinery has been placed. The
handsome little gasoline steamer Sapho.
recently launched, has made her trial
trip, and made good time. She has been
taken down to the Lower Columbia to
tho Warren cannery. Work on the Tilla
mook tug. in the old Hale & Kern ship
yard. Is progressing rapidly, and this fine
craft will soon be ready for launching.
This boat is being built for the heavy
work that will be required of her in
Tillamook waters. Supple's yard Is cleared
at present of all boats but. tho little
Hoo Hoo, which has been generally over
hauled and is now about ready for re
launching. The stern wheeler McMinn
villo is moored in front of this yard, re
ceiving some general repairs the past
week. The coaster Sue Elmore, which
was recently completed in the Supple
yard, has been moved up to Wolff &
Zwicker's to receive machinery. Supple
has the plans for the projected Manila
lighter, which he Is to build in a knock
down shape for shipment. If this first
lighter proves a success, it is considered
probable that a market for a number of
others will be created, which will be put
"together in Portland.
Completing; Thompson Sclioolhonse.
All the uncompleted rooms in the
Thompson schoolhouse. in Central Al
bino, are being completed by the con
tractor, and will be ready by the time
the city schools open In September. With
what rooms that were finished last year,
tho building was well filled up, and the
Multnomah schoolhouse, which stands off
west several blocks, was occupied. Tho
completion of all the rooms In the
Thompson building will likely enable all
the children to bo accommodated in It.
There has been talk of moving- the
Multnomah building to North Alblna,
where there is considerable settle
ment, but the board has not
yet decided what It will do with the
structure. The growth in Central Albina
has been so great that even the big build
ing, erected two years ago, is well filled.
It was then thought that it was antici
pating the future largely in building it.
Columbian Beat Oregon City Team.
At the baseball game yesterday after
noon on the old Portland field, the Co
lumbias scooped the Oregon City Club,
the score in five innings being 24 to 0,
In favor of the Columblas. It -was a one.
sided game, from the start, although
there were some good plays. Tho Colum
bia team was ase follows: Anglle, catch
er; Ray, pitcher; Stutt, second base;
-Doby, right field; A. Parrott, first baso;
R. Parrott, left field; Whitehead, center
field; Haynea, short stop; Jacobs, third
base. Anglle made a home run, and
Jacobs made a three-base hit. The Ore
gon City Club did not have its regular
team. Lea was catcher, and Parks was
pitcher. They could not mako headway
at all, and at the fifth inning the game
closed. There was a considerable crowd
to witness tho game.
Little Road Work Doing.
Very little road work is under way at
present, and will not be till Fall. Under
Road Supervisor Kelly the only work In
progress Is on the Kelly road east from
tho Mann hill. For a half mile some
very heavy grading has been done aa
far as the old Milwauklc road. For the
present the new road will, not be grav
eled, as there are several fills that will
settle when rainy woather sets In, and it
would not pay to gravel until the fills
have settled. The Mann hill will be" cut
down before the work is done. Some erf
the dirt Is being used to fill up a ravine
on the i road extending to Woodstock.
East Side Notes.
Mrs. Otto Kleemann, who has been seri
ously 111 for some time, contmues to im
prove. Everything Indicates that she
will completely recover her health.
Wilbur Ward, Southern Pacific yard
master, whose left ankle was crushed
about 10 days ago, Is getting along well.
The indications now are that he will fuHy
recover, but it will be several months
before he can be about.
This evening there will be given the
first of a series of socials at the First
United Brethren Church, East Fifteenth
and East Morrison streets. All the mem
bers and their friends are invited to bo

A STRENUOUS HEN. '
Unci Net in Thresher, and Stayed
While the Machine Ran.
Corvallls Times.
The grittiest hen in America lives over
in Alsea. Her right to be called a brave
hen has been tested, and no one who
reads these lines will deny that she is
ever likely to shrlpk from any duty, pub
lic or private. She is not only a brave
hen, but a "strenuous" hen.
She Is the property of one of the Hay
den brothers. They also own a thresh
ing machine. The latter was taken out
of tho shed for the first time last week,
and a small field of grain was threshed,
to see that the machine was in gooa
running order. When the jcb was fin
ished, the machine was returned to the
shed, when, to the amazement of all,
there In the corner of the separator sat
tho strenuous hen. Under her was a
nest of eggs that she was endeavoring
to hatch. She had been on the nest
when the machine was taken out She
was there when the belts and pulleys
began to whiz, -when the fan began to
sing and when the riddles began to shake
and' rattle. The wind from the fan rut
fled her feathers and almost took her
breath, but, like the boy en the burning
deck, she stayed at her post What
her thoughts were when the swift cyl
inder began to chew up straw cannot
be guessed. She may have believed her
self In the midst of a woman's rights
convention or she may have guessed tnat
the world was coming to an end.
When found, the hen was uninjured.
There was dust in her teeth, and a some
what frightened look in her eye, but
she was on her nest. Of the eggs all
were safe save one.
MOUNT PITT'S SUMMIT.
The
Magnificent Cyclorama Seen
From It.
Klamath Republican.
H. L. Boggs and family, accompanied by
S. Harshberger and Mr. Jones and family,
all of this place, who started out about
two weeks ago for an outing among the
lakes and mountains north of here, re
turned last Saturday. Among other places
of note they visited the snow-covered
top of Mount Pitt. From that eleated
point 9SS7 feet above sea level, they had
a wonderful view in all directions. Twelve
large lakes were in full view, among
which were Fish Lake, Lake of the
Woods, Four-Mile Lake, Pelican Lake, Big
and Little Klamath Lake3, Tule Lake and
Klamath Marsh, and saw the great hole
In the ground where, 5000 feet below,
Crater Lake Is hidden. Of mountains
there seen were Mount Shasta, In Califor
nia; Mount Scott Saddle Mountain, Dia
mond Peak, Round Top. Twin Sisters,
Table Rock and Pelican Mountain, and
lots of other smaller peaks thrown In.
All this great congregation of mountains
are In Oregon excepting Mount Shasta.
Mr. Boggs says that while on Mount Pitt
he posted, at the highest point he could
find, a notice that President McKlnley
had been duly renominated. In their
traveis, the party also visited Crater Lake
and passed entirely around It They also
killed two large bucks, besides much
smaller game, and caught any quantity
of mountain trout
Pierce County Sot for Frinlc.

The Pierce County convention Friday
was very much anti-Frlnk and antl

Senate, Stanton Warburton, Lincoln Da

anti-Wilson and were all opposed by the
Ledger and the News. The convention
was controlled by their friends, and the

HE HAILS FROM OREGON
COLOJTEL STRAIGHT, AX ACTIVE
REPUBLICAN WORKER.
How He Came to Be in the Service
of the National Committee
Sketch. 'of His Experience.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. Since early
Spring, Republican headquarters in this
clty'have been the scene of great activity,
and at the time of the local campaign in
Oregon a great deal of assistance in the.
way of literature was sent from the
Washington headquarters. The main
headquarters have since been moved to
Chicago, but the Washington branch will
continue to be a center of great actlvlty
up tc the time of election. Since tho
organization of headquarters here, one of
the most earnest workers In connection
with the office has been Colonel J. A.
Stralght, of Eugene, Or., who is now con
nected with the literary department of
the National committee. Colonel Straight
Is an old newspaper man, who
has resided and worked In all
sections of the West, and has con
trol In a way of the literary work as far
as it affects the country west of the
Missouri River. Having been active in
politics throughout that section, he Is in
close touch with tho situation there, and
has proven a valuable assistant to Chair
man Hanna in his work for the West.
Colonel Straight began his newspaper
work as a boy, when he made his first
efforts by booming Salmon P. Chase, who
was then a candidate for Governor of
Ohio. . Chase complimented him for his
work, and In turn the writings called at
tention to Chase, who had previously boen
but little known, and he later acknowl
edged that his successful run, at that time
did much towards shaping his after po
litical career. This was at the time the
Republican party was just forming, Chase
then being counted among the Whigs,
Colonel Straight had written Chase up
from the new Republican point of view,
and It so appealed to the great Ohloan
that he later acknowledged that that
article had much to do with bringing him
into the Republican party. That same
year Chase met Thomas Corwln, the great
stump speaker, known as the Plow Boy
of Ohio, and on occasions both spoke from
the same stand in Ohio towns. Through
the efforts of Straight, both Chase and
Corwln afterwards joined the Republican
party, with which they were afterwards
so closely allied.
In 1S59, Colonel Straight moved to Iowa,
where he edited the first Republican
paper established in the far West, pub
lished at Council Bluffs. At the same
time he became identified with the growth
of the Republican party In that state,
and was one of its managers during and
after the Civil War, paying particular at
tention to the literary work of the party.
While publishing the paper at Council
Bluffs, Colonel Straight took up and ad
vocated the building of the Union Pacific
Railroad by Government aid. His advo
cacy of this project met with great "op
position from the Democratic press of the
whole country, they declaring the con
struction of such a road an impossibility.
Many of Colonel Straight's editorials in
advocacy of this great project were used
as arguments In Its favor before Congress,
and he has since been tojd that the senti
ment his paper created in this regard was
very instrumental In bringing about the
final action which resulted In the comple
tion of a transcontinental Jlne, a fact in
Which he takes just pride, as that work
opened up the great West, which made
homes for millions of people, the thrifty,
live and energetic class that has marked
the westward growth of the Nation for
the past 40 years or more. Before leav
ing Iowa, the Colonel became identified
with General Clarkson, afterwards Postmaster-General,
and later managed the
campaign of Senator Harlan during the
last term he served in the Senate. Fol
lowing this he became an active sup
porter of Senator Allison, and was one ot
the' most successful and influential sup
porters of Allison when he first secured a
seat in the Senate, a place he has held
continuously since 1S73. After leaving
Iowa, Colonel Straight moved about
among the Western States, getting In
touch with the political situation in each,
and has never allowed his Interest to lag.
Today he has been assigned to looking
after the campaign work In the Western
States with which he is most conversant,
the states west of the Missouri, and in
his opinion all Of those states will cast
their electoral vote for McKinley.
In the opinion of Colonel .Straight there
will bo some great surprises In store for
politicians this Fall. Probably the greatest
will be to see Colorado go Republican.
In this state, he says, the Silver Republi
cans have practically all come back to
the Republican party, and there has been
a great falling off among the Democrats,
due to prevailing prosperous conditions,
which they wish to continue for four
more years. Two of the leading papers
of Denver that strongly supported Bryan
four, years ago have recently come out
In hearty support of McKlnley and the
Republican platform, which Is taken as a
good Indication of growing Republican
strength and a general change of senti
ment. While Senator Teller still adheres
to Bryan, It is thought that he has lost
his strength with not only the Silver Re
publicans, now a defunct organization,
but with the Democrats as well, and his
downfall Is predicted. The same condi
tions that have wrought a change of sen
timent in Colorado In favor of Republi
canism have been at work in other West
ern sliver states, and Idaho, Montana,
Utah and Wyoming, as well as Oregon
and Washington, are again In the Repub
lican column, with the sentiment in fa
vor of McKlnley and Roosevelt growing
like prairie fire.
With his keen perception of conditions
In the West and being in thorough touch
with the party in all those states. Colonel
Straight is proving a very essential factor
In Republican headquarters. His services
have been and will be Invaluable, and
are such as to demand befitting recogni
tion when the next Administration is
formed. He has earned, and will probably
receive, some good office at the hands of
the Government, where he can continue
to serve the party and the country
throughout the next Administration.
