.THE HOBNXNG OEEGONIaW, AfONPAT, OCTOBER 28, 1901. AMONG THE CLUBWOMEN TWO AMKXDMENTS TO BE VOTED OX AXEXT THE "COLOR USE." Duty of Oregon Clubs to Inform Themselves en This Most Burning Question of tlie Honr. The most absorbing: topic of conversa tion and discussion in the whole realm of women's clubs is the color question, and the amendments to be offered for Its so lution at the coming: biennial. Its interest has received no little Impetus from Pres ident Roosevelt's recent action In Invit ing Booker Washington to dine with him, and this incident is being: used as an argu ment on both sides, but those who have studied the question and looked below the surface realize it is not a parallel case. I man's home, even If It be the Executive Mansion, is his castle, and he has the right to dine with whomsoever he elects, but should his position give him the power to compel others to join him who seriously object to meeting a negro upon such social equality, the matter would assume a different aspect and a question of Individual rights would arise as it has among club women, though there Is a deeper principle Involved in all this discussion than individual rights or social equality. No more unfortunate thing could have arisen to disturb the general federation than this question of whether colored clubs should be admitted to mem bership. It will take the wisest counsel, the coolest heads, and the deepest thought to prevent the disruption of the organ ization, which would be disastrous to the best Interests of women all over the world. It Is clearly the duty of every clubwoman to make herself familiar with the situation from every standpoint. Since the president of the Oregon Fed eration requested the clubs of the state to discuss and vote upon this color ques tion with the amendments that will be offered at Los Angeles, we have frequent ly heard it asked: What are these amend ments? Who will offer them? For the benefit of those Interested we herewith give a complete copy of the only two sets that will receive much attention at that time, though it is safe to say that something better than either will have to be devised if the much-boasted "unity in diversity" is longer to obtain, for these two are so diametrically opposed that should either prevail It would be over again the situation of the early '60s "a solid South against a divided North." Massachusetts Amendments. Following; are the amendments to the by-laws of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, presented by the Massa chusetts State Federation of Women's Clubs, for adoption at the biennial meet ing of 1902: 1. Amend article I, section 1, by striking out thewords "women's clubs," by striking out all the words after "or ganizations." and by inserting after "ter ritorial federations" the words "of wo men's clubs," so that it shall read: -Section 1.

Omit section 5 of article I, being similar to section 4 as amended, chang ing the numbers of subsequent sections accordingly. 4. Strike out section 9 of article 1, and substitute the following two sections: "Section 8. Each state federation shall be entitled to lie represented at biennial meetings by its president, or her ap pointee, and four delegates; every state federation having a membership that ex ceeds one thousand, shall be entitled to additional delegates, in the ratio of one delegate to every 200 additional members. Territorial federations shall be entitled to the same representation. Each National society and kindred organization shall be entitled to be represented by its president, and four delegates-at-large. An alternate shall be elected for each delegate." "Section 3. Each state federation shall decide upon Its own method of apportion ing and electing its delegates to the general federation." 5. Amend article I, section 10, by strik ing out the words, "members of clubs be longing to the general federation," and inserting the words, "club members from any state or territorial federation belong ing to the general federation," so that it shall read: "Section 10. Club members from any state or territorial federation belonging to the general federation may be present at biennial meetings," etc., G. Amend article II, by striking out the last sentence of section 1, beginning with the words: "They must show that no sec tarian or political test." etc. Also by Incorporating section 2 with section 1, omitting superfluous words and inserting such words as are needed by the sense, so that it shall read: "Section 1. Every organization desiring to join the general federation shall make application through its president, to the president of the general federation, who shall refer all such applications to the committee on membership appointed by the board of directors, for its action on the "same. The action of the committee on membership shall be In writing, and a unanimous vote of the committee shall be required to .elect. In case the com mittee falls to agree, the application shall be referred to the whole board, the written vote of two-thirds of which shall be necessary to elect to membership." 7. Amend article II by adding the fol followlng section: "Section 2. Each state federation of women's clubs belonging to the general federation shall be free to make Its own membership rules, except that no sectar ian or political test shall be required for membership In its body." S. Amend article III by striking out sec tion 6, and substituting the following: "Section 6. The annual dues for state nnd territorial federations shall be at the rate of four (4) cents per capita, com puted on the membership as reported to the general treasurer, on or before the first day of March in each year. The dues shall be paid annually on or before the first day of May." Georjrln Amendment. The amendment offered by the Georgia Federation runs as follows: "First Membership in the G. F. W. C. to consist of individual clubs. "Second State federations to exist as state organization to enlarge and develop such work as may seem most needed for the welfare of each state. Each state to decide upon its own membership, which shall not thereby acquire membership In the G. F. W. C. "Third Presidents of state federations nnd general federation secretaries to hold, "by virtue of their office, voting place In conventions of the G. F. W. C, with duties and privileges of leadership hereto fore accorded to them. "Fourth Presidents of federations and general federation secretaries to compose an advisory council, which shall meet at Jeast once during each biennial convention for discussion of policy, etc., of the G. F. "W. C. "Fifth Representation and dues, etc., to Tie decided at will by the G. F. W. C." State Conference of Charities. In the work before the newly apppinted committee to form a state conference of charities, the Oregon Federation of Wom en's Clubs should lend invaluable assist ance. It should feel specially interested jus the organization 3ias been honored ty Slaving its treasurer, Mrs. Sltton, placed on the committee. State Institutions, par ticularly those for the care of children an& the ayed, nave everywhere received the deepest Interest and care from wom en's clubs and federations, and many of the best laws governing such institutions have been instigated and carried through the Legislatures by these associations' of women, Illinois leading in this particular, with Pennsylvania a close second. In both these slates the federations have had the co-operation of the Congress of Moth ers. Silverton Club. The annual election of the Social Science Club, of Silvertpn, resulted in the ele tion of Mrs. Lou Ames, president, Mrs. Brown vice-president Miss Frances Rouch secretary, and Mrs. Sam Ames treasurer. During Mrs. Wakeman's ab sence, Mrs. Mary Spaulding, corresponding secretary of the state federation, will as sume the duties of the general federation secretary. Clubs for Colored "Women. There are six business clubs of colored women in the United States, representing" a total membership of 250, with a com bined business capital of $55,900. The ob ject of these club is to educate colored women In business methods and encourage them to work together for mutual advan tage and improvement. Dentb of a Club Director. For the first time in the history of the Woman's Club of Portland, the members have been called on to mourn the loss, by death, of an officer of the club. Mrs. Mary S. Ward, who died in San Francisco on the 15th of this month, was serving her second year as a director. Mrs. Ward was a charter member of the club, which never had a more interested, faithful member. In her death the philanthropic Interests of the club have lost an enthusi astic champion and warm advocate. A deep love for humanity, sympathy for the unfortunate, and an earnest desire to benefit those among whom she lived were her predominant characteristics. Be sides these lovable traits, which the club at large will be deprived of, her clear sighted business ability will be Badly missed on the executive board. THE COXS03IERS' LEAGUE. Protest Against the "Sweatshops" by Mm. Levi Youngr. Professor Charles Gide aptly says: "We are upon the threshold of a new epoch the moral education of the con sumer. The 19th century has been the century of the producers; let us hope the 20th will" be the century of the con sumers." Here is sounded the keynote for the present activities of clubwomen. The committee upon the industrial problem as it affects women and children, which was appointed by the board of directors of the General Federation of Women's Clubs over three years ago, has given since then its best thought to the investigation of the conditions surrounding the women and children of this country, who are forced to become bieadwinners, with tae result that it Is determined to exert its influence for the betterment of these conditions, and to recommend the phil anthropic departments of all clubs to make a study of this question, and lend themselves to the prompt correction of such.evlls as may exist in their own com munities, and thus make more tolerable and wholesome the daily lives of this class. That there is a tide in the affairs of men is as true of them as consumers, as in any other aspect of their humanity. To those wHo are closely associated wth the movement known as the Consumers' League, It is evident that the moment has come when such a tide must be taken at the flood. Never before, in the still youthful life of clubs, has there been such, an oppor tunity to show boldly the Influence of steady and well-regulated action on the part of women. If we allow this oppor tunity to pass, it will not be because we have chosen a poor committee to guide us; not because we are absorbed in mat ters which have a prior claim, but be cause we fall to apprehend each our per sonal relation to economic laws which cannot add complications and difficulties to our scheme of living, but must, like all universe laws, "tend to the simplifica tion and better ordering of the lives of all who obey them." It is, perhaps, a little uncommon to use the word "consumer" In the same sense as the word "buyer," but no word has been found quite so adequate to its pur pose. A Consumers' League Is an asso ciation of persons who desire, as far as practicable, to do their buying In such ways as to further the welfare of those who make or distribute the things bought. A "League of Buyers" would answer just as well If we want just the people who crowd the stores from day to day, pur chasing food, clothing, pictures, books, etc. Therefore, understanding the word "con sumer" to mean simply the buyer and user, the question naturally arises, Does our ordinary buying carry with it any thing like moral responsibility? That this is true in the -most matter-of-fact way no one will deny who is will ing to think; to think with earnestness and patience about certain economic truths which have grown into clearness In recent years. We bhall give these truths their simplest forms if we say that the buyer (con sumer) may be, in the very act of buy ing, a creator. The shoddy buyer is a shoddy-maker. In a very real sense to buy a harmful thing is to nelp make that thing. We, in other words, create the de mand. If a fact so important as this were once clearly seen and admitted, further expla nation would not be needed. If to buy an ugly thing is to get It made, if to buy garments which are the product of the sweatshops Is to become a partner of the "sweater," we should readily concede that buyers have a responsibility as well de fined as it Is serious. If we buy what Klngsley called "things cheap and nasty." do we not by the very act help to make the "cheap and nasty"? What, then is, the task of the Consumers' League? First To abolish the sweating system; this is the special task of the National Consumers' League, in co-operation with the local leagues. Second To extend among all mercantile establishments the commendable con ditions now existing In the best. By what methods does the league pro mote -hese ends? First By the use of a Consumers' League label attached to all articles made under conditions approved by' the league. Second Bj the use of a standard of a "fair house," and a "white list" of retail stores, and by promoting the enactment and enforcement of better laws relating to the conditions of employment. What is the standard of a "fair house"? First A "fair house" Is one In which equal pay is given for work of equal value. Irrespective of sex. Second In which wages are paid by the week. Third In which fines, if imposed", are paid Into a fund for the benefit of em ployes. . Fourth In which the minimum wages of cash girls are $2. per week, with the same conditions regarding weekly pay ments and fines. Fifth A "fair house" is one in which the hours from S A. M. to 6 P. M. (with three-quarters of an hour for lunch) con stitute the working day, and a general half-hcllday is given on one day of each week during at least two Summer months. Sixth In which a vacation of not less than one week is given with pay during the Summer season. Seventh In which all overtime Is com pensated for. Eighth In which wages are paid and premises closed lor the five principal legal holidays. Ninth In which work, lunch and retiring-rooms are apart from each other, and conform in all respects to sanitary laws. Tenth In which the providing of seats for saleswomen is observed, and use of seats permitted. Eleventh In which humane and, consid erate behavior toward employes Is the rule. Twelfth In which fidelity and length of service meet with the consideration which Is their due, and in which no children under 14 years of age are employed. Miv does the Consumers League use a label? To enable the purchaser to distinguish garments made in factories approved by the league, from those made under other conditions. What are the conditions under which the use of the label is granted? Goods bearing the label must be made in factories in which the state factory law is obeyed, overtime Is not required, chil dren under 16 years of age are not em ployed and goods are not given out to be made at home. People show their disapproval of the sweating system by buying goods 'made under clean and wholesome conditions, as shown by the Consumers' League label. The "white list" is a record of retail stores which conform most closely to the stand ard of a "fair house." Many 6f the lead ing firms of New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago are using the label, and the list Is rapidly growing. The last report of the National Con sumers' League shows that Massachu setts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota have formed these organizations, making in all 31 out of the 41 states in which there are either leagues, strong standing commit tees or Individual correspondents In reg ular co-operation with the National league. It is a good omen that many Western towns are now carrying the label, notably Dayton, Milwaukee and Seattle. The Consumers League Is not a move ment against cheapness as cheapness, but against that cheapness that is bound up with dangerously low surroundings. The application of science and machin ery, with factory conditions, higher wages and fewer hours, makes extreme cheap ness nosstible without taking it out of the laborer. In Massachusetts, largely through the efforts of the Consumers' League, leg islation has been enacted restricting the hours of labor for all women and children to 58 hours a week; it has also Indorsed the movement of the Retail Clerks' Early Closing Association. The individual question naturally arises, "Why should I join this league?" Simply this, that as a purchaser you have an influence and can make this in fluence effective by demanding that the goods you purchase shall be made and sold under the right conditions. The suc cess of this movement depends upon its numerical strength. In union lies its ad vantage, and only as the Consumers' Leagues embrace a large percentage of the purchasers in this country can it do away with the sweating system and bring about the general adoption by merchants of the standard of a fair house. Since every purchaser exercises a certain power, the duty of uniting for the wise use of this power is self-evident. There will probably be many detractors at first to this, as to all new movements, who will think they see in this effort a repetition of Mrs. Partington's enthusi asm "to mop up the ocean" but we ven ture to aspire to a reversal of the rule and play the part of the orean ourselves. MRS. UWI YOUNG. GREAT STATE FOR HONEY. Product of the Busy Bees Comes to Market From All Sections. Noticing a- large pile of comb honey and beeswax In front of a seed store on Front street a day or two ago, a seeker, after Information stepped Inside to ques tion the dealer in regard to these articles. He found that a very considerable amount of honey is produced in this sfate, prin cipally in the foothills of the Coast Range, and along the Lower Columbia. There is some honey produced in the Willamette "Valley, but It Is darker In color than the honey from the mountains and" coast, where the bees collect It from white clo ver, a species of maple, and from all sorts of wild flowers. Down the Columbia the bees collect honey from white clover and flreweed. The flreweed springs up on land that has been burned over, and It supplies very good honey. Some of the whitest and best honey coming to this market is made off the alfalfa fields in Eastern Oregon, and as Irrigation be comes extended over that vast region, more and more of this honey will be produced. The alfalfa Is cut several times in the long Summer of that sec tion, and there Is a succession of blooms to keep bees busy all the time. A large lot of the very finest of the honey came from Umatilla and was pro duced along the Umatilla River. This will astonish pioneers who saw Umatilla many years ago, as at that time no one could have been made to believe that such a dreary looking section could ever be come noted for the honey produced there. In fact, one such pioneer said that when he first saw that region In 1S52 there was not a white man settled between The Dalles and the Rocky .Mountains, and that neither he nor any of his companions had any idea that there ever would be. If bees could gather the honey from red clover, the Willamette Valley could pro duce no end of honey, but the flowers of this clover have such long tubes that the bee's extractor cannot reach to the honey at the bottom. Efforts are now being made hi the East to produce by selection and careful breeding a species of bee with a sucker long enough to gather the honey of he red clover. Prospects ap pear favorable for this being accomp lished, and. more light thrown on the "origin of species." As for beeswax, the seeker was told that but little of It was made these days. What comes in is principally sent East, where It is uspd to make backs for combs to save the bees the trouble of making them, and even for these parffine wax Is used to some extent. Since the days when a Spanish vessel loaded with bees wax was lost on the coast near Tilla mook, parafHne wax has largely, if not entirely, taken the place of "beeswax for making wax candles. Beeswax candles are not largely used any longer, and it Is uncertain just what the commercial uses of beeswax are. Some Is used by tailors and needlewomen to wax their thread, but even this has fallen off, as threads are made so much better than they used to be that wax is seldom used. A little is used by druggists in making plasters, and painters use a little for some pur pose, but It Is not known that there Is any demand for beeswax in large quan tities for any purpose. The bees, however, continue to labor as hard to store up honey and wax that they can never use as some men do to accumulate money and property for the same purpose, and the truth of the fol lowing old stanza is still being proven: How doth the little busy bee Improve each shining hour And gather honey all the day From every opening flower. Hoy skillfully she builds her cell, How neat she spreads the wax, And labors hard to store it well "With the sweet food she makes. Ordered to "Wnlln Walla. WASHINGTON, Oct. 37.

Clothing: nnd Letters of the Assassin "Will Be Burned Immediately A-ter the Execution. AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 27. The time that Leon Czolgosz, assassin, of President Mc Kinley, has to live, is reckoned by hours now, but there has' been no relaxation of the stringent rule by which the prisoner has been secluded since his arrest. The prison was closed today to any who sought the assassin, and so It will remain until the prisoner has paid the penalty that the law exacts. In fact, the plan to deprive Czolgosz living of any notoriety has been extended to deprive Czolgosz dead of notoriety. Immediately after the execution, the clothing of the murderer, with the vast accumulation of mall that came to the prisoner, will be burned, and If possible the request of the parents of the dead man for his remains will be evaded. It is feared that the removal of his body to Cleveland would lead to scenes of an un fortunate nature, and the prison officials are very anxious to avoid anything of the kind. The plan of burning the cloth ing and letters of the murderer will pre vent the exhibition of relics by those who pander to the morbid. The hour of 7 on Tuesday morning is the time set by Warden J. Warren Mead for the execution. The chair in which Czolgosz will sit to receive the deadly electrical shock was examined and tested today by State Electrician Davis, and is ready for the part that it is to play in the final scene of the great National tragedy. The death warrant has not yet been read to the prisoner, but it will be tomorrow afternoon. The general practice is to read this paper some time after the prep aration for the execution, designated by the court. The time In this case com mences at midnight tonight. The firm purpose of Superintendent Col lins and Warden Mead to avoid the ap pearance of sensationalism In this case is demonstrated by an incident In connection with one of the principal witnesses. Dr. Carlos McDonald, of New York, ex-president of the State Lunacy Commission, is to be the principal attending physician at the execution. He was the alienist who examined Czolgosz at Buffalo, and pro nounced the prisoner sane. He has been very anxious to take away with him from the autopsy the assassin's brain for the purpose of microscopical examination. A few days ago Dr. McDonald had a talk with Superintendent Collins, and asked him to allow him, after the autopsy, to take the brain to New York City for ex amination. Mr. Collins said to him: "Doctor I have planned to make this execution an example of mystery that will forestall any attempt at sensational ism. I cannot allow anything to go away from the prison that will in any way con tinue this man's Identity or notoriety." . Dr. McDonald replied: "I would like to take the brain away, but I am frank to say that you are abso lutely right in the matter. If I desire to make any examination I will do It at the prison." The plan of Superintendent Collins Is heartily acquiesced In by Warden Mead, and It is understood that an unrepealed law will be found that will allow the War den to refuse Czoigosz's body even to his relatives, and will give the Warden the privilege of disposing of It. In that event, within two hours after the execution, un less Dr. McDonald cares to make an analysis of the brain, Czoigosz's body, clothes, letters and everything reminis cent of him In the prison will be disposed of, the body of the assassin will be burled in quicklime, and the clothes, letters and packages will be consumed by fire. And this is not all. Warden Mead, with Superintendent Collins' approval, has de cided that for the next 30 hours pre ceding the execution of Czolgosz, not one word of his condition or actions shall be given out from the prison In other words, the man. beginning from midnight, is practically dead, so far as the public is concerned. ' At the execution Tuesday, Dr. Carlos McDonald, of New York, apd Prison Physician Gerin will be the attending physicians, and the priests, if any are re quired by Czolgosz, will be the two Polish ones that have heretofore 'visited him. State Controller Erastus Knight, of Buf falo, has been asked to be foreman of the official jury and will be here. The rest of the jury of 12 Is made up of prominent men. Including some other state officials Governor Odell has sent word that he particularly desires that this execution be conducted with as little display of notor iety as possible. MESSAGE TO CZOLGOSZ. Last Word From the Father of the Doomed Assassin. CLEVELAND, Oct. 27. The Associated Press is made the medium for the last message from the father of Leon Czolgosz, the condemned assassin who will pay the penalty for his terrible deed in Auburn prison Tuesday morning. In an Interview this afternoon, the elder Czolgosz was asked what he had to say finally to his unfortunate son. The old man's eyes filled with tears as he replied deliberately: "Tell Leon that I hope he may rest in peace, that he will become reconciled to God and will meet his end bravely. Tell him that as much as I and all of our family regret his most unhappy plight, that we can do nothing to interfere; that he alone Is responsible, tor his unfortun ate situation, and that he must meet his punishment as a consequence." Further conversation elicited that the purpose of Waldeck Czolgosz' visit to Buffalo is for the disposition of the body when the law's mandate shall have been carried out. Up to this afternoon no information had been received by the elder Czolgosz from Waldeck, and this Is taken to mean that the father's pres ence at the death scene is not desired. The entire family arrangements are In Waldeck's hands, and what steps ho will take is a matter of uncertainty. The ex pense of conveying the body from Au burn to Cleveland Is one of the consid erations that causes hesitancy In the announcement of definite arrangements. Paul Czolgosz, the father, stated that, there was some fear of mutilation or other undesirable occurrence If the body is brought to Cleveland Immediately after the electrocution. This fear has led to the consideration of cremating the body at Buffalo or at some other city. Some anonymous communications to the Czol gosz family have mentioned the fict that the body might be valuable as a scientific object to medical people and would bring agood sum of money, but further than mere hints, no definite offer has been made. It "was stated that such an offer would be distasteful to the family and would not be considered. Fear that the body might be stolen if buried In the usual manner is also a reason for crema tion being favored, .PERSONAL MENTION. Edward C. Russel, Jr., of the Daily and Sunday Despatch, Juneau, Alaska, was in 'town yesterday. He is about to take charge of the Dally Astorian. Lawyer Edward W. Bingham, who was recently severely injured by falling from his office window at the northeast corner of Second and Stark streets, is slowly re covering at St. Vincent's Hospital and hopes to be soon taken to his home.

The father of "William, John James, Theodore Isaac and Edith Viola was panic-stricken when they made their triumphant entrance Into the world, fled, and has never been heard from since an act for which he should not be too severely blamed. Few men. can affirm Just what they would do In a sim ilar case. In any event, the scared father took: to his heels, leaving Mrs. Ormsby In charge of the four Infant Ormsbys and . fjiUl-jL-il 'J " Jl 1 -.LJ3 I I Til 1 ....' ' J,.

LIGHT AT THE DALLES. Povrerfnl Electric Plajit Abont to Be Completed. " "The people of The Dalles are jubi lant over the coming change there from a dark to a light town," said Charles Walker at the wharf of the White Col lar line. "The Dalles has been dark too long." continued Mr. Walker, "but now It s making a great forward stride. The ' Wasco Waiehouse & Milling Company, an organization comprising many of our old pioneer standbys, such as Dan French and W. O. Lord, has contracted to light the city after November 1, and the con struction work on the plant Is being rushed to completion under the personal I supervision of George W. Simons and C. F. Swlgert, of the Pacific Bridge Com pany. Portland. They are developing the power from White River, that rushes Into the rapid Deschutes River near Shearer's bridge. "The plant is built very substantially, and equals anything of Its kind in Cali fornia, which state, It Is acknowledged, leads the world In electrical transmis sion. "The line frcm The Dalles to White River has 30 miles of poles set in the most substantial manner, which are capa ble of holding up 90 miles of the heaviest copper wire. "Great care has to be exercised In the work on account of the high potential voltage, ahout 22,500. which is the first line of its kind in Oregon. Some pieces of the machinery weigh eight to 10 tons and have been hauled by wagon 35 miles to the head works. "The plant will cost $10,000 and will be a good thing for The Dalles. It will not only illuminate the town, but will also furnish power for all manufacturing pur poses, including a new 1000-barrel-a-day flouring mill. It will brlnff The Dalles to the front." 1 Washington XoteN. t J. F. Marsh has a cabbage four feet eight inches around, and others which will weigh over 50 pounds each. He also has a full and firmly headed cauliflower two feet eleven inches in circumference. Flouring mill machinery will arrive in two weeks for the new mill at Riverside. Chopping and cleaning machinery Is al ready In. All wheat In that locality Is bluestem. The new dam has a 30-foot head and 200 horse power, giving capacity for a 1000-barrel mill. It is reported that the Washington Water Power Company has purchased the entire water power, including some river front land, at Post Falls. It Is said the water power company has purchased both the interest of Finch & Campbell and of the Post Falls Water Power Com pany, which gives the big local corpora tion the entire monopoly at Post Falls of the immense water power. James G. Green, convicted of murder in the first degree of E. V. Benjamin, last March, and recently sentenced to be hanged by Judge A. L.. Miller, has ap parently given up hope qf the Governor interceding in his behalf, says a Steven son correspondent. Green has written his relatives in the South, bidding them good-bye. He his on several occasions stated that he preferred to be hanged rather than be sent to the penitentiary. While the day has not been set by the court for his execution, it is not far off. and the Sheriff, in anticipation, is maklns preparations for the execution. It Is not likely that the matter will be prolonged as In the case of Nordstrom, as Green's relatives seem reluctant In furnishing funds. His attorney has. however, given notice of appeal, but It is hardly be lieved by the people here that the ap peal will be perfected, a3 the final re sult could hardly be expected. In a case of so foul a murder as this one, to result other than In unnecessary expense to a county already burdened. Li. M. Alexanderaon, who has worked In various capacities on Puget Sound steamers In the last eight years, ranging from pilot to deckhand, has gone to Sweden, where a fortune of between 40. 000 and 50,000 marks, equal in Amprican money to $13,000, awaits him. When a youth Alexanderson ran away from homp and went to sea. After a time he had placed himself in communication with his parents, and last Winter received word that both had died, leaving all of their possessions to him. Before he could mako his arrangements to leave here he heenme mixed up In a, fight with some other fel low employes on a steamer on which he was working, and rather severely cut one of them with a knife. A. charge of assault with attempt to murder was made against him, but after being de tained In jail for some time he was al lowed to plead guilty to some lesser of fense" and was lined heavily, the money to pay It being promptly advanced by the executors of his Swedish estate. His be longings In Sweden consist of an estate of 400 acres and 27,500 marks in the bank. in Irish point lace, embroidered muslin, Soap is made fit it for for which other soaps AT THE HOTELS.
