PORTLAND'S BIG DOCKS
FACILITIES FOR.HATJDLIG GRAINS-ARE
BEING INGREASED.
Oceanic Dock Enlarged and a Xcrr
One Building on West Side
Marine Notes.
Portland will start In the new shipping
season with the best facilities she has
ever had for handling grain. In spite of
the big additions that were made last
year, when Oceanic and Montgomery No.
2 docks were added to the port facilities.
It was Impossible to handle the business
that was offering, and additions and im
provements are now under way on a
number of docks. The most important of
these will be an addition of over 200 feet
to Oceanic dock, which will give that
mammoth structure a frontage of 800 feet
on the river. As the dock has a depth
of 150 feet, the addition will give it a
floor space of 120,000 feet. This makes It
a fairly close second to Montgomery No.
2, which has a floor space of 147,150 square
feet Kerr, Gifford & Co. have outgrown
their quarters up at Victoria dock, and
have leased Montgomery No. 2, and will
operate It during the coming season. This
Arm was one of the heaviest operators
on the new docks built at Tacoma last
Fall, and some idea of the relative Im
portance of the facilities of the two ports
Is shown by the fact that London dock,
under lease to them by the Northern
Pacific at Tacoma, has but 59,200 square
feet of floor space. ,
The largest of the 'four big docks built
at Tacoma Is the one leased to the North
west Warehouse Company, and it con
tains but 96,792 square feet of floor space.
In addition to the Oceanic and Montgom
ery No. 2, the dimensions of which are
irlven above. Portland has two other
docks larger than any of the big grain
docks built by the railroad company at
Tacoma. These are the Victoria, 600 feet
long by 1S5 feet deep, with a floor space
of 111,000 square feet, and the Montgom
ery No. 1, which is 500 feet long and 20S
feet 'deep, with a floor space df 104,000
square feet. There are half a dozen other
docks nearly afe large as the largest of
the new docks at Tacoma, so that there
will not be much difficulty in handling
the grain crop of the coming season, no
matter how large It is.
On the "West Side of the river Albers &
Schneider are building a big dock to be
used in connection with their grain busi
ness and for storage purposes. It will
have a frontage of about 220 feet on the
river, and will be 150 feet deep, and with
on additional building for storage of hay
will have a floor surface of over 40,000
feet. There are also plans out for another
big dock above the flouring mills on the
cast side of the river. It is apparent
from these water front improvements
that the property-owners have considera
ble faith in the permanency of Portland's
prestige as a shipping port.
KNOCKERS AT "WASHINGTON.
Astoria's Campaign of Misrepresen
tation Extends to the Capital.
WASHINGTON, June 22. From time to
time information drifts into the Engi
neer's office and is laid before the author
ities of the War Department having to
consider such matters, indicating that
there is a great deal of opposition to the
improvement of the Columbia River. This
is sometimes brought to the attention of
members of Congress, and oftentimes is
hard to overcome by those who are not
aware of the situation. These reports
emanate largely from Astoria, and Indi
cate that the expenditure of money for
the Improvement of the channel of the
Columbia and Willamette Rivers -to Port
land and other improvements are really
a useless waste. Of course those who
want to fight appropriations find this a
handle to oppose Oregon improvements,
and it gives an opportunity to scale down
appropriations made for any part of the
Columbia River.
Now, as a matter of fact, the business
view of it all is that if there is no ne
cessity for the improvement of the Co
lumbia and Lower Willamette to Port
land, or the Upper Columbia River to the
head of navigation, there Is really no
necessity for anything being done at the
bar.
If the entrance to the Columbia River
is only for Astoria, as claimed by those
who are arguing the case, then a shallow
channel for small ships such as might go
to points further south on the Coast is
all that Is necessary. "What Is the use,"
said one man who has taken consider
able interest in the Columbia River, "of
securing a 40-foot channel over the bar,
or even a SO-foot channel over the bar,
unless you are going to have a 30-foot
channel to points of business? For all
time to come Portland will be the great
shipping point for the Columbia River. If
we are simply to do business with As
torl we might as well give up doing any
thing at the Columbia and let the small,
shallow ships pass over the bar as best
they can, and sp'end no more money at
the mouth of the river. However, that
small A'lew of the case will not be ac
cepted. The Improvement at the mouth
of the Columbia Is not for the basin inside
the bar, but it is for the entire length
of the Columbia River, with Its tribu
taries, and the great productive fields ly
ing on either side of its banks."
MR. GRAHAM'S LATEST.
Oregon Jb Oriental's Move on the
Atlantic Attracts Attention.
The Associated Press dispatch to the
effect that "the Oregon & Oriental Steam
ship Company, which operates a fleet of
steamships between Portland, Or., and
ports In the Philippines, China and
Japan," was considering the establish
ment of a line from New York to the far
East created a great deal of Interest on
the Portland water front. General Man
ager R. A. Graham Is well remembered
in Portland by ship-liners, stevedores,
pilots, coal dealers and others who traffic
with the men who go down to the sea In
ships, and the news of his latest enter
prise came as a surprise. With the Ore
gon & Oriental belting the Pacific with
Its great system of lines, side lines and
lines, and Graham on the other side of
the continent preparing to do likewise
on the Atlantic, It Is no wonder that J.
Plerpont Morgan Is hurrying homeward
as fast as the Deutschland can carry
him. The glory of Letson Balliet, the
mining king of Eastern Oregon, will grow
dim alongside of that of the general man
ager of the Oregon & Oriental when his
press agent gets his working clothes on.
Meanwhile there is some speculation as
the fate of the Pacific division of the
Oregon & Oriental when Graham gets his
steamers to working through the Suez on
a 40 days' schedule. The line from the
Atlantic will not include the steamers
Eva, Universe, Monmouthshire, Adato
and Carmarthenshire, which Mr. Graham
started to operate on the Oregon & Ori
ental. If "hot air" was a good propelling
jwwer, some steamship lines would be
more easily operated than others.
GALLANT FIRE-FIGHTERS.
British. Steamship Officers Extin
guish, a Bad Blase at Sea.
CHICAGO, June 27. A special to the
Tribune from New Orleans says:
The British mule transport Monterey,
from Cape Town, has arrived in port after
a terrible experience with fire at sea.
Twelve days out from St. Vincent flames
were discovered in the after hold and
gained such headway that the heat pre
vented the usual means of extinguishing
flre on shipboard. Flames and clouds of
smoke poured out from the hold, and
when the officers and crew were about to
abandon hope First Officer Reld and
Fourth Officer Harrison volunteered a dar
ing plan. They proposed to tie wire ca
bles around their bodies and have their
companions lower them down the side of
the ship until they were abreast of the
port opening into the burning section. It
was a desperate expedient, but after a
short consultation it was adopted.
As the fire was near the water line,
Reld and Harrison were lowered down
until they were submerged in the sea
nearly up to their waists. Hanging thus,
half buried In the waves, with the ship
under headway, the men battered In the
port. A hose was then lowered to them
and for several hours they hung, swing
ing outward and Inward, pouring a stream
Into the blazing hold. In this way they
Anally checked the flames. The vessel
was badly damaged.
FAST RIVER TRIP.
Knight Companion Makes a Good
Rnn ns Far ns Astoria.
The big Oriental liner Knight Compan
ion, carrying over 0000 tons of cargo, and
drawing ever 22 feet of water, made a
fine run down the river yesterday morn
ing. She left Portland about 4 o'clock
and anchored at Astoria at 11:20 A. M.
As usual, all of the delays experienced
between Portland and the sea are after
the vessel has safely covered the river
Journey between Portland and Astoria.
The steamer was coaled, cleared and
ready for sea when she left Portland, but
she did not cross out until 8 o'clock last
evening, the delay at Astoria occupying
more time than was consumed In mak
ing the run down the river. It does not
require very close observation to dis
cover where shipping Is delayed In the
Columbia River. The channel between
Portland and Astoria Is at least two years
ahead of the channel between Astoria and
the sea.
Sealers Cannot Get Creirs.
VANCOUVER, B. C June 27. The
steamer Queen City, which arrived from
the west coast of Vancouver Island to
day, reports that the fleet of sealing
schooners have so far been unable to se
cure crews, the Indians refusing to go
for $3 per skin, demanding more. A new
fishing company has been started at Kyu.

Oriental Cargo From Tacoma.
TACOMA, June 27. Steamship Tacoma
sailed today for China and Japan with
a fujl cargo and several passengers. The
entire cargo Is valued at $207,747 and con
sists of sheetings, bottled beer, cotton
and flour.
Alexander Pnts In Leaking:.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 27. The British
steamer Alexander, which sailed from
Gray's Harbor for Petropaulovskl 13 days
ago, has put Into this port in a leaking
condition.
Marine Notes.
Captain James Gibson, American Consul
at Chemalnus, Is In the city on a brief
business trip.
The steamers Dalles City and Regulator
are being equipped with powerful dy
namos for lighting purposes.
The bark Olympic made the run from
San Francisco to Honolulu In 10 days on
her last outward trip, which Is pretty
close to steamer time.
The steamship Oregonlan, en route to
San Francisco from New York, put Into
Montevideo a few days ago with her ma
chinery disabled. She met with an acci
dent when she was launched, and seems
destined to be an unlucky ship.
The British bark Lyderhorn, which has
been on Puget Sound since March 23, has
at last completed her cargo. She cleared
from Tacoma Wednesday with 157,647
bushels of wheat. The Tacoma News
says that none of the other vessels at that
port will clear before July.
The Columbia River & Puget Sound
Navigation Company has lit up the foot
of Alder street with a big electric sign
which carries the word "Dalles" in let
ters large enough so that he who runs or
walks either may read them from way up
town. This is the first electric sign on the
water front, and -attracted considerable
attention when it was turned on last
evening.

THE MRS. EDDY THAT IS
ASTONISHING OLD LADY WITH UN
FAILING SMILE.
Works In Pnrple Satin Covered With.
Lace and Never Takes Exercise
' Wkat Concord Gossips Say.
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, variously re
ported as dead and bedridden, Is alive
and, with some difficulty, visible, says
Oliver Dunbar in the New York World.
The astute founder of Christian Science
chose to demonstrate these disputed
facta by receiving me In her Concord
home a few days ago and discussing with
characteristic reserve the affaire of the
day. Mrs. Eddy Is not ill) but she does
understand the value of toilet articles.
She apparently Is not an Invalid.
Neither Is she proof against the wear and
tear of time. She appears a frail old
lady, a little deaf, a little dim of vision,
a little slow of concentration, but firmly
eet against yielding to her frailty.
Nor do the conditions of her life sug
gest that she Is a supernatural being.
She eats ordinary food at ordinary times,
takes even more than ordinary precau
tions not to expose herself, lives like
the rest of us In an overheated house and
Is quite humanly aware of the value of
an effective personal appearance.
It is true that these reassuring facts
are not evident to all who visit Con
cord. Several thousands persons yearly

declare "Dr." and Mrs. Baker, whose
function is supposed to be the reception
of stranger "Scientists." "Why, she has
not time even to see us." j
The Bakers, by the way, make their
home in the same building that holds the
local Christian Science Hall, and It. is
doubtless productive of amusement ! to
strangers that the "doctor," who is friot
recognized by the physicians of Concord,
placards the hall of a medicine denounc
ing sect with his name followed by the
Initials "M. D." This little Incongruity
really ought to be brought to Mrs. Ed
dy's attention.
Mrs. Eddy's home. Pleasant View. is.
not more than ten yards from the street,1
nas not a tree near It and has a great
number of windows. It has a stone porte
cochere, but this is reserved for Mrs.s
Eddy s private use, and carriages which
arrive on rainy days have to drop their
occupants In the street. This Is not en
couraging. Neither is the first reception
at the door, where your card Is grimly
received by a stern-faced woman, one
of Mrs. Eddy's companions, who promptly
shuts the door in your face and retires.
But it would be unfair to suggest that
Pleasant View is an inhospitable nlace.
Even during my sojourn on the doorstep
I was Joined by a second companion, or
secretary, who amiably shared my ban-j
lshment till I was admitted to the draw-l
wiB-iuuui, wuere sne iunner entertained
me by extolling the heallmr nronertles
of "Science and Health," until "Moth-
er, as her household refers to her. was
at liberty.
Mrs. Eddy's approach to greet an un-
known caller, after an entrance con-v
trlved with as careful effect as Is that of
the star of a dozen seasons, Is a pattern
or cordiality.
Her deliberate stateliness, her persis
tently sweet smile and the somewhat pro
fessional grasp of your hand are after
all not quite sufficient to abate the shock
of this astonishing old lady's appear
ance. At 80 Mrs. Eddy suggests the carefully
cultivated prettlness of self-conscious 16.
The years have been kind, and the deli
cately symmetrical lines of her old-young
face have not become distorted. Her
complexion, radiantly pink and white,
and in a phenomenal state of either pre-
Mrs.
Eddy ns she actually
(Sketched front life.)
Is.
servatlon or cultivation. Her unchanging
gracious smile has, to be quite candid,
a suggestion of artificiality. It reculls,
Indeed, her Indebtedness to Dr. J. M.
Fletcher, of Concord, who attained a bit
of notoriety a year or so ago, both from
avlng made some teeth for Mrs. Eddy
and also from having deadened with
cocaine Mrs. Eddy's "claim" to pain.
The eyes In this remarkable face are
blue, deep-set, and, It must be admitted,
a trifle dim. not flrmly focused and
thoughtful as In the photograph. The
rather elaborate arrangement of hlgh
plled hair confirms the suspicion that
Mrs. Eddy's morning toilet must be far
from hasty.
There Is something so resolute and as
sertive about "Mother's" vivid coloring
that she can and does afford to wear
Jewels In broad daylight. The front of
her bodice Is plastered with diamond
ornaments, the most conspicuous being
the diamond cross that 6he always wears.
As the burden of the conversation of
her companions and attendants was that
"Mother" Is "always at work, always
busy," I felt a slight curiosity to see what
her working costume might be.
It included a skirt of heavy black satin,
slightly trained at the back, worn with a
tight-fitting bodice of purple satin. Mrs.
Eddy is a little taller than the average
woman and her figure is still erect and
well filled out. Duchess lace almost cov
ered the purple bodice and was .gathered
nly one
softly about her neck. Everything about;
her dress was dainty, carefully arranged
and costly. And If Chrls'tlan Science text
books are best composed in Duchess lace
and diamonds, that is Mrs. Eddy's own
affair.
More in her voice and manner of speak
ing than in appearance the author of "Sci-
.ence and Health" shows her belief has
not done all that it should for her. She
speaks distinctly and in a decidedly agree,
able voice, but slowly and hesitatingly.
At times her groping about for a word she
cannot recall is almost painful. It is
pathetically evident that she sustains con
versation only by a continual effort.
The wheels appear to revolve very
smoothly at Pleasant View. Mrs. Eddy
is a person of system, her companions
told me, as well as of tireless industry.
These members of her household are some
half dozen In number. These I met and
talked with: Mr. Calvin A. Frye, sup
posed to be the person longest In her serv
ice. Is so obligingly versatile that whereas
once he was retained as coachman, he
Is now alternately secretary and foot
man. He Is a middle-aged, short, gray
haired man, who seems to be perfectly
familiar with Mrs. Eddy's affairs and to
represent her, yet who every afternoon
puts on a livery and sits on the box with
the present coachman while Mrs. Eddy
takes her drive. The women who receive
visitors have been with Mrs. Eddy for
many years. The number of servants and
dependents attached to Pleasant View is
something under a dozen. Some of them
live in a house next door. Mrs. Eddy
has no other neighbors. None of these
people are ever seen In the town, except
on strictly business errands. It Is said
that It is Mrs. Eddy's habit to engage
her servants from orphan homes.
Although a Concord paper a few days
ago published Mrs. Eddy's name as one of
the three millionaires of the city, no part
of her income app-ars to be spnt lavishly.
Her house htrays no Indulgence in the
extravagant fads most millionaires think
it Incumbent upon themselves to develop.
The grounds are prettily, not elaborately,
cultivated In her stables are seven
horses, perhaps her chief expense. So far
as is known she has no amusement or
recreation, and absolutely no social In
tercourse with the people of the town.
There has never been a reception or a
dinner party at Pleasant View. Its host
ess breakfasts early, dines at the comfort
able New England hour of 12:30, and eats
a light supper. Her diet is substantially
the same as the people who live about
her. and her provisions are obtained at
the Concord stores, wnere, however, she
has never been known to run up a bill.
Even In Summer Mrs. Eddy ,1s rarely
seen on her own grounds, though there
Is a veranda on the back of the house to
which she now and then resorts. On the
moderately warm day when I visited her
the windows were shut tight and the
furnace fire was being vigorously stirred
up as a concession to somebody's flag
ging temperature. v.
Mrs. Eddy has not publicly denounced '
fresh-air exercise. But that she studi- ,
ously avoids It Is certain. Even her dally '
drives are taken In a closed coupe,
whether it be January or July. This drive
of hers has become so much of an Institu
tion that on pleasant days, from 2 to 4
o'clock, crowds line up along the road
from Pleasant View to the town to see
the carriage pass. The drive Is always
taken at the same time and along the road
extending from the house to the state
prison, about two miles distant. The
route almost never varies. Invariably
there are two liveried men on the box,
and Invariably Mrs. Eddy's face is shield
ed by a white carriage parasol to ward
off, as the legend goes, "malign Influ
ences" that might assail her. On the day
that I saw her she wore a deep ermine
collar and a heavy purple bonnet, both
In keeping with the queenly role in which

Though her followers, will tell you she
Is never ill, the townspeople revel In tales
of closed carriages bearing Boston physi
cians from the Concord station to Mrs.
Eddy's house at night. The presence of
two men oil the box of her coupe rather
than one, as formerly, is explained on the
ground of Mrs. Eddy's susceptibility to
, sudden seizures, during which one at
tendant Is Insufficient. These attacks.
'which are described as half hysterical and
as having some connection with an un
certain temper, are said to be common
Incidents pf the daily life at Pleasant
View,
fit is even hinted that tho leading phy
sician of Concord Is now and then calied
to visit Mrs. Eddy on a dark evening after
Concord has begun to think of putting out
its lights.. He laughed, however, when I
called upon him and asked him about it.
The same physician declared the Concord
people regarded Mrs. Eddy and her cult
ivery lightly.
Mrs- Eddy, it is understood, treats no
inaiviauai cases.
"'Mother' feels that she can reach the
greatest number by writing rather than
by heallnc personally." explained one of
her companions. This recalled the fre
quently expressed suspicion that Mrs.
Eddy does not write her own books.
"Does she write with a pen," I asked,
l"or dictate?" The companion hesitated.
Then she cheerfully dodged the Issue.
"Most writers do both," she reminded
me sweetly.
Mrs. Eddy's following In Concord is
neither large nor socially important. Sev
eral citizens who have every opportunity
of being well informed told me that Mrs.
Eddy had banked $100,000 with which to
build a Christian Science church in Con
cord, when her church membership shall
reach 200.
I Inquired as to Mrs. Eddy's charities,
and was told that she is frequently gen
erous to persons and concerns that have
no claim upon her, such as the Salva
tion Army, but that the two most con
spicuous gifts during the past year have
been J5000 to the City of Concord for
the purpose of repairing a section oi
road over which she passes in her daily
drive, and $1000 to the management of the
state fairs, the latter gift being made
Just after her spectacular visit at the
fair last Fall, 'the only public appearance
she has ever made In Concord.
The Surgeon-General of the State of
New Hampshire said of this incident:
"The Governor did not Invite Mrs. Eddy
to the fair, as has been generally sup
posed, and was as greatly surprised as
any one when she drove in an open ba
rouche, escdrted by mounted policemen,
and, leaning toward him, made an im
pressive bow, which he was naturally
bound to return."
Across the valley that lies behind Pleas
ant View may be seen the village of
Bow, where Mary Baker was born. Her
father was a poor farmer, and his three
daughters and two sons were obliged to
develop promptly the very considerable
ingenuity with which they happened to
have been endowed. When Mary Baker
was still a child the family moved to the
near-by town of Tllton, where she spent
her irlrlhood and where the three Baker
sisters, as I was told by the wire of
a Concord city official who is connected
with Mrs. Eddy by marriage, "became
locally celebrated for their high spirits
nnd for what we New Englanders call
the 'gift of gab.' Mary Baker was, when
young, however, an Invalid, and I par
ticularly remember her chair and her
bed. both of which were attached to
rockers by leather straps.
"She Improved as she grew older, and
I remember her as she used to walk Into
church on Sunday. A pretty doll ehe
was, much inclined toward fine clothes
and coquetry. Both Mary Baker and one
of her sisters taught school. Later, af
ter the other sister had married, Mary
Baker spent much of her time-with her.
She still needed a good deal of attention,
and the violent hysterics she used to have
are something I can remember after 60
years."
Miss Mary Baker had not yet made
the acquaintance of Dr. Qulmby, of
Maine, from whom, It Is alleged, she de
rived the foundations of Christian Science,
when she met and married her first hus
band, Mr. Glover, a young Army man.
whe died In the South a year later.
The son born of this marriage, George
Glover, is the only child Mrs. Eddy has
ever had. It is known that the separa
tion between them lasted many years.
Mrs. Eddy's marriage connection ex
plained this by saying that during her
child's Infancy Mrs. Glover believed her
self too ill" to care for him, and so gave
him to a farmer's family living not far
away. The child's whereabouts during
many years were known to many New
Hampshire people, if not to his mother,
and when more or less of a sensation
was caused by Mrs. Eddy's widely ad
vertised discovery, a few years ago, of
her son, now a resident of Deadwood,
N. D., the mother's "surprise," it is said,
was doubtless exaggerated in the reports,
since it can hardly have had any foun
dation in fact.
Some years back Mrs. Eddy adopted a
young Boston physician, a Dr. Foster,
whose legal name Is now Dr. Foster
Eddy. Mary Baker Glover's second courtship
took place at her sister's home. After
her marriage to Dr. Patterson, who was
a dentist, It Is said that she assisted
him with his patients, and one Concord
woman admitted to me that she still
bears "Mother" Eddy a grudge because
pt her having dangled a Jumplng-Jack
before her face while Dr. Patter&on prac
ticed tho cruelly painful methods of
dentistry half a century ago.
Dr. Patterson, however, after a time,
according to Mrs. Eddy's own statement,
deserted her, whereupon she became di
vorced, and, renouncing definitely the
spiritualistic leanings, trances and other
vagaries of her girlhood, began to develop
her "Science." In a few years she bc
came the wife of Dr. Asa Eddy and lived
with him In Lynn until his death from
"mental poisoning." As this was Mra.
Eddy's own diagnosis and not that of any
physician, she became at this time the
victim of much unpleasant comment.
Between this period and the time of
her retreat to Concord Mrs. Eddy lived
handsomely in Boston, building up the
"Mother Church" there.
For many years Mrs. Eddy was con
tinually received gifts and honors from
her growing multitude of followers. Mary
of these, such as the famous gold scroll
and key, are Intelligible enough and are
exhibited In her home. Others, such as
the jeweled decorations which Mrs. Ed
dy wears, cannot be described or ex
plained by the lay observer. None other
than an authorized biographer 'probably
could explain Mrs. Eddy's coat of arms
which decorates her note paper, and a
part of which, being the emblem of the
English Order of the Bath, must have
been placed in her posession by ex
traordinary and Interesting means. Her
motto, likewise, "Vincere aut Mort," ap
pears at first sight Incongruous with
Christian Selene principles. There is
doubtless, however, an excellent explana-'
tion of the fact that the leader of a sect
that does not mention death Incorporates
the word In her motto.

fore the Board of General Appraisers was
that Senator Lode wanted a friend of
his to have the office. Mr. Lodge Is a
civil service reformer whose Industry in
hunting for offices for his friends Is not
exceeded by that of any spoilsman. Secre
tary Gage is a civil service reformer, who
can deny nothing to the spoils hunters of
his own party, and has already given them
pretty free range through his department
because the President, who Is also a
civil service reformer, a couple of years
ago granted the spoils hunters what they
had long been trying to get and had re
peatedly announced that they were on the
point of securing, the withdrawal of a
large part of the public service from the
classified service, subject to the reform
law, to the open field of the office-seekers
and the office brokers. Mr. Gibson's place
was one of those thus thrown open to the
spoils hunters, and that was done prob
ably because Mr. Lodge had already de
cided to ask that the place be taken from
Mr. Gibson and bestowed on his friend.
SOUP AND STOCKS.
Omens "Which Gave a Fortunate
"Warning to n Heavy Speculator.
New York Sun.
A New Yorker in London during the
recent time of excitement on the Stock
Exchange attributes his fortunate issue
from a series of heavy speculations to
an accident that was connected with
nothing more occult and supernatural than
a plate of soup. He was at dinner when
the recent crisis was at Its height. The
soup was vermicelli, with the customary
letters "floating In It. In the conversation
the New Yorker was contending against
the general argument that the existing
high prices were not likely to decline, but
rested on a business basis which made It
certain they would be maintained. He was
lifting the spoon to his lips after a very
spirited utterance on the subject, when
he saw that the four letters In his spoon
spelled the word "Sell."
He Is not a superstitious man, but the
Incident set him thinking. He swallowed
the omen without mentioning it. He con
tinued .to eat, and the party confined Its
talk chiefly to the condition of the stock
market in this city. When he dlppped his
spoon In the soup for the last mouthful,
the New York operator saw that only six
of the four letters remained1 In the plate,
but they spelled the word "Unload."
This onlnolrtoncp was ton murh nvnn tnr
the doubting stock broker, who excused j
himself from the table and went to the ,
cable office of the hotel. He sent word to '
his broker to close out all his railroad !
holdings, and the difference in time
brought the message here for the opening
of the market on the day of the panic.
His broker followed his directions, and he
came out a heavy winner. It Is not sur
prising that his favorite soup Is now ver
micelli, especially when he Is operating
heavily in stocks.

The pilgrims happened into one church
where the service was going on. The
church was full of soldiers and muzhiks,
of rich people and poor people, all of
whom were devoutly worshiping. A gor
geous priest, clad In green and gold, led
the service, and a gorgeous blue and green
boy on each side held up the holy candles.
In the background one could see a high
priest who seemed to be made of solid
gold and who 'seemed to be a part of the
large Icon hanging on the wall,. It wai
Impossible to tell whether he was really
a part of the picture or not, so absolutely
motionless stood he there, like a graven
image, till just at the close of the service
he stepped down and out of the picture,
and came forward and stood in front to
read the last part of the service. His

robe was all of shimmering gold, which
glittered in golden waves as he moved,
and he wore on his head a golden mitre
such as Aaron might have worn in the
days of the wandering in the wilderness
His long curling hair fell over his shoul
ders, and he looked just as much a pic
ture out of the frame as one in It. As
he stepped to the front the other priests
stood aside, while this gorgeous, golden
high priest led the closing service. A br
choir with magnificent voices sang the re
sponses. Once the other fathers stepped
forward, and one of them removed the
jeweled tnltre from the golden high
priest's head, while he bowed to the Icon
and crossed himself, and then replaced
the mitre.
The whole service was intoned, and.
while the pilgrims could not understand
It, they were glad to think that the audi
ence could, for it was In Russian, not
In Latin. The people listened very rev
erently, and often they bowed low and
crosaed themselves.

SCIENCE SETTLES IT.
Dantlrnff I Caused by a Germ That
Saps the Hnlr's Vitality.
It Is now a settled fact that dandruff
Is caused by a germ. Falling hair and
baldness are the result of dandruff. Dr.
E. J. Beardsley, of Champaign, 111., got ,
hold of tne new hair preparation, New
bro'6 Herpiclde the only one that kills
the dandruff germ. He says: "I used
Herpiclde for my dandruff and falling
hair, and I am well satisfied with the
result." Dr. J. T. Fugate, of Urbana. HI.,
says: "I have used Herpiclde for dan
druff with excellent results. I shall pre
scribe It In my practice." Herpiclde kills
the dandruff germ. Physicians as well aa
the general public say so.
