Deals in Meteors. Professor Henry A.
"Ward, of Rochester, N. Y., an enthus
iastic student collector of and dealer In
meteors, who Is constantly on a rone
about as erratic as that of a meteor,
made a brief stay in this city a few days
ago, as be was passing through on his
way to San Francisco. He took advan
tage of this to again visit the meteor
which was discovered some time ago on
the lands of the Oregon Iron & Steel
Company, and which, by strenuous exer
tions on the part of several persons, was
enticed across the boundary of this land
onto the property of others, under the
idea that it was of great value. It is
still lying there and is likely to, until its
ownership is decided by the courts. It is
hoped that this meteor, which Is a large
specimen, will And its flnal abiding place
in the free museum of this. city. Professor
Ward stated while here that he had no
intention of trying to secure the meteor
for commercial purposes, but as he is a
f buyer and seller of meteors some were
afraid he might endeavor to gain pos
session of it to take It out of the state to
sell. He said his object in visiting the
meteor was to secure a photograph of the
bottom of it, which would be a work ot
some difficulty, but how he succeeded is
not known. He is an enthusiast on the
subject of meteors, always willing to part
with any he may acquire for a reasonable
consideration, and some imagine that he
would pluck the planets from their orbits,
the stars from their sphere, tear the con
stellations from the skies, knock a hole
in the bottom of the great dipper, sunder
Gemini, hound Ursa Major from the
flrmninpnf- hwir AiHpr rmt. n rlnir In
the nose of Tauras, halter Pegasus, puM
on exniDiuon inc mouesL, retiring sevenin
sister of the Pleiades, yea, even change
the position of the pole star if he could
by so doing secure control of any of these
heavenly bodies or constellations for com
mercial purposes. It Is not likely, how
ever, that he will obtain possession of
the Oregon meteor, for the real owners of
it are not liable to allow It to be taken
from the state and lost to the City
Museum for any sum he Is likely to offer
for It. They are too patriotic for that.
Vicissitudes or Real. Estate. A
Doputy Sheriff, who was sent to post
notices on a number of blocks and lots
In an addition platted some ten years ago,
west of the city, giving the owners warn
ing that the property was to be sold for
delinquent taxes, found it a very difficult
matter to discharge his duty. He could
not find the lots or blocks, nor even locate
the addition, nor any of the streets in it.
He rode up hill and down dale, into and
out of canyons and finally in a thicket of
Hazel brush found a squatter's shanty
and Inquired where Hazelwbod avenue
was. The squatter said he had lived
there about eight years and had never
heard of such an avenue, but he thought
any opening through the brush would
pass for it. He knew nothing of Elm
street, nor Fern street, but asked the
deputy In and gave him some bacon and
potatoes for lunch, and told him that the
man who owned the land all about had
sold It ten years ago for 5100 per acre,,
and when be saw It platted and the lots
going oC like hot cakes; at 1100 each he
rtmtendrd he had been swindled and lost
his mind, was taken to the asylum and
he is there yet. "If he could come back
now," said the squatter, "he could buy
his ranch back for less than he sold it
for, which should put him in his right
mind again."
Oranges of Hiqu and Low Deques.
Specimens of about every kind of oranges
known can be obtained In this pity.
Among them are the large, pear-shaped
"citron" as blr as a child's head, which
the Chinese always bring in for . their
New Tear's celebration, "grape fruit,"
huge navels, ordinary oranges, little Jap
anese and Chinese tangerines, the size
of a lady apple, which the Japs and
Chinese import by the ton at this season.
The smallest is the tiny kumquat, a
genuine orange, a native of China and
Japan, where It is called "golden orange."
It is pear shaped and no larger than a
damson plum, and Is eaten "rind and
all," and is supposed to be a great deli
cacy. Probably the only sample of these
tiny oranges. Is a small box sent by mall
to Mark Levy, by L. Samuels, while pass
ing through Florida on his way to Cuba
with his family. A young woman, who
tasted them, says they taste like a piece
of orange peel, and there Is nothing in
them but seeds. The large citrous of
the same shape, are of much the same
quality, having but little pulp and a lot
of seeds in them, and a skin as thick as
the hide of a rhinoceros. The ordinary
navel orange Is the best of the lot.
Contractors Want Their Pat. Some
dozen or more pieces of street and sewer
improvement have lately been completed,
notwithstanding the bad weather, and
the contractors are anxious to have them
accepted. Thoy are mostly short sec
tions, a block or two, of large contracts,
but the city Is obliged to accept such
work as fast as it is completed. The con
tractors are anxious to get every com
pleted block off their hands, so that the
payment of assessments can be com
menced, and they can get money to con
tinue work. Few contractors have funds
on hand sufficient to carry through long
jobs, before asking for any of the work
to bo accepted, so the arrangement that
work shall be accepted by the block is
a great advantage to them, and makes no
difference to the vlty except to render it
necessary to make a careful inspection of
the work as It proceeds so as to be
certain that It Is properly done when ap
plication is made for the acceptance of
any part of It.
Art Not Dead Yet. A neatly dressed
girl was going about the city yesterday
offering for sale a lady's waist belt, made,
as she said, by her old aunt, who Is an
artist in needlework. It was entirely made
of silk thread and although flimsy was a
marvel of 'fine and fancy stitching. The
price asked, was $10, which, al
though a high figure for such a flimsy
affair, was probably little enough for the
amount of patient toll expended on the
article. It was rather a discouraging
Job the young saleswoman had taken In
hand.
Strange Mineral Gives Light. The
specimen of a strange mineral mentioned
a few days ago as having been tested by
an assayer and pronounced to be gneiss,
and which, when scraped by a knife in
the dark, became covered with lambent
flames all over tho scraped surface, has
been sent to an Eastern sciontlst. No one
can be found who has ever heard of any
stone possessing such luminous qualities
as this, and no one appears to know
where it came from or what it is com
posed of.

Cleaning Streets Wakes Him Up. A
man who resides In the vicinity of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club yes
terday desired to make complaint against
the employes of the street-cleaning de
partment. He said they collected in
front of his room at an unearthly hour in
the morning, 3:30 to 4:30 o'clock, and re
mained there some time, waking him up
and keeping him from going to sleep
again. It was suggested to him that It
was a bad idea to find fault -with the
men who clean the streets, as they ought
to be encouraged In every way and per
haps they might some time get enough
done to make a showing. He said he
had no objection to the men working, but
it was after they had been out all night
and were on their way to the barn that
they collected under his window, the
carts coming chattering up, one after an
other, and the drivers shouting and talk
ing. It seemed as if they made a point
of all collecting there and then driving
into the barn at the same time. It will
probably astonish many to learn that the
street-cleaning department are out every
night at work In tbe present unpleasant
weather, and it would probably puzzle
many to find what they do, but If after
working .all night In the rain or snow
and mud, they have sport enough to shout
and talk and make a noise tt would be
hard to repress them. Yesterday morn
ing they were late and did not get to
gether In front of the complainant's room
and wake him up until 5 A M., so be did
not loose much sleep.
Hojiscs Didn't Notice Protest. The
mild protest entered by Special Officer
Caswell a day or two ago, against the
number of runaways occurring on the
streets of this city, and his suggestion
that the law against horses being left -unhitched
be enforced, commended Itself to
many, but has had no perceptible effect
on the horses. Shortly after his opinion
was announced a pair of rather over
worked and underfed horses attached to
a scavenger's wagon indulged In a wild
runaway up Third street. At the corner
of Salmon street they turned abruptly
west and evidently tried to take the walk
across the North Plaza block. The nigh
wheels cut a chunk out of a telephone
pole, and the off wheels broke off two of
the Iron posts which support the .chain
fence around the plaza. Then the end of
the pole knocked spots of bark off a large
locust tree and the pole was splintered.
It was a long time before the scavenger
found his outfit, but he hastened to re
move It, leaving rack and ruin behind
him, and he has kept out of sight ever
since. He had left his team standing
unhitched somewhere down town while he
went in to take a drink with a friend,
and the horses becoming tired of waiting
for him, and hungry for lunch, took
French leave.
Fishermen- Get Small Catches. The'
cold, stormy weather of late has badly
disorganized the fishing business on the
Columbia River and its tributaries. Owing
to the cold weather and the low stage of
water In the Cowlitz, the smelt backed
out of that stream last Monday and but
few fresh ones have been received here
since. A small school entered the river
a day or two ago but they were at once
scooped up. There were plenty In cold
storage here to last a few days, and yes
terday fine, fresh ones caught In gill
nets off Eagle Cliff arrived here.
The chlnook salmon also practically
disappeared, only a few coming to market
this week. Steelhead salmon have also
been very scarce here, there being a
gasoline launch to every salmon operating
in the Lower Columbia, the few fish
caught going into cold storage. Fisher
men, however, are not discouraged. They
say there is plenty of salmon In the river
and after a few fine days they will -come
to the surface to play and will then bo
caught by the ton. A very large catch
Is looked for this season. .
Politics Hib Vocation. A visitor to tho
city was yesterday introduced by a friend
to a man whose name Is composed of two
common surnames, "united by a hyphen,
as Brown-Jones. He expressed sympathy
for any one so unfortunate as to have a
hyphenated name, but the victim said It
was very fortunate for him a3 there were
several others of both his names In the
same business In this city. "What busi
ness are you in?" asked the stranger.
"You will have to take the testimony of
another witness," wag the answer, "for
I'm blamed if 1 know." This was thought
strange by the visitor, who, when the
man of two names had gone away, asked
his friend what the Xellow did for a
living. "Nothing." was the reply, "he Is
in politics, a sort of ward heeler."
Dr. Jektl and Mr. Hyde at the
White Temple Sunday Nic-ht. Dr.
Brougher, the new pastor of the White
Temple, believes In the application of the
gospel to every-day problems. Ho says
he has very little Interest In the sinners
of 20 centuries ago, but Is looking after
the sinners of the 20th century. He has
no patience with a namby-pamby Chris
tianity, but calls for an out and out type
of manly living that will command the
respect of all people. He usually selects
popular subjects for His Sunday night
sermons that have a direct bearing on
everyday life. His subject next Sunday
night Is "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde." He
will deal with the "Moral Man vs. the
Hypocrite." The doctor says all hypo
crites and moral men are Invited.
State Health Convention Called.
The state convention of the county and
city health officials will be held In Port
land, March 22 and 23. The new state
health laws will be the main topic of dis
cussion and a full attendance is expected.
The members are especially interested in
the result of the coming convention, as it
will practically decide what steps can be
taken to keep down contagious diseases.
Portland doctors are desirous of having
strict quarantine laws against all con
tagious diseases. They say that nearly
every' case that they have comes from the
outside, and that contagious diseases
could be practically wiped out If strict
quarantine laws were observed.

THE DAILY NEWS FORTY
THREE YEARS AGO
Complied and Reprinted Prom Orego
nian of February 15. 1861.
THE principal feature of this Issue is
the publication In full of a speech
made by Colonel Baker In the Senate some
three weeks previously, In answer to Sen
ator Judah P. Benjamin, of Louisiana,
who had charged the Republicans with
encouraging sectionalism.
Senator Baker voices a positive denial of
Benjamin's accusation that the free states
were desirous of Interfering with the Insti
tution ot slavery in the South, and were
fomenting insurrection among the blacks.
He denies also the accusation of the ultra
abolltionists that the Western States were
allies of the secessionists and in closing
affirms the loyalty of Oregon and the
Pacific Coast country.
The following editorial comment appears
with reference to the attitude of Senator
Baker and refers cuttingly to the expira
tion of the term of Senator Joseph Lane,
Baker's colleague:
"It is a great satisfaction to know that
Oregon has one Senator who does her
credit After the 4th of March we hope
to see our representation complete In that
body."
A H. Francis (colored), of this city, who
has been extensively engaged in the dry
goods business, it is reported, has failed.
We can learn nothing more than that he
has effected a sale of his stock on hand,
or a part of It to certain creditors. No
suits have been commenced, to our knowl
edge. Postponed. The performance of, tho
Fakir of Siva at the Willamette Theater
is postponed on account of the unfinished
state of the improvements now going on
at that place.
There Is an extensive side head about a
certain family in town having purchased
a half-dozen chickens, having their table
plentifully supplied with chicken all Win
ter, yet having three of the fowls still
alive. A gradual mysterious disappear
ance of chickens in the neighborhood dur
ing this time was also noted, and then the
mystery was explained. It was discov
ered that this family was catching neigh
bors chickens by the use of a hook baited
with meat One day they hooked a dog
by mistake, and his howling led to their
discovery.
Other sidehcads are on "Walla Walla,"
"Good." "Five Men Drowned," "Interior

Woman Found in River Is Buried in
Potter's Field.
Without having been Identified, the body
of the unknown woman found floating in
the Willamette several days ago was
burled in the potter's field yesterday. Dep
uty Coroner Arthur Flnley and other offi
cials who Investigated the case were baf
fled In every effort to get some clew that
might lead to the woman's identification.
Salem, Oregon City and other towns near
the river were communicated with, but no
one answering the description of the dead
woman was known to be missing.
Whether the case was one of murder or
suicide the authorities are undecided, hav
ing nothing upon which to base a theory.
While there were no marks of. violence,
yet the body was in such a bad state of
decomposition that it was impossible to
learn If poison had been used.
The body was that of a woman appar
ently between 25 and 30 years of age. The
clothing was plain and of rather an old
fashioned pattern. Indicating that the
wearer might have come from the country.
There was a wedding ring on the left hand,
showing the woman had been married.
Further than that there was nothing upon
which the authorities might base an in
vestigation. UNION-MADE COLLARS AND

A musical programme of unusual merit
was rendered at the open musical of the
Woman's Club yesterday afternoon, which
was provided entirely by members of the
New England Conservatory Club. The
musicians who participated In this pro
gramme number among the best of .the
city, and the selections were all of the
highest order.
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony was per
fectly rendered by Mesdames Schultz,
Hall, David and Goddard, two pianos be
ing used. Mrs. Hamilton and Miss Watt
gave a beautiful selection in Dellbes"
"Serenade Le Rol La Dit" Chopin and
Rubinstein were tho composers selected
by Mrs. Linn, and her singing of
"LHhaulsch.es Lied," and "Der Ara," was
exceptionally good. Both numbers were
well adapted to AervoSce.
Miss McGinn rendered MacDowclI's
poem (Scotch) with brilliancy and finish.
Her Schumann number and Impromptu
C-sharp minor were also fine. Miss Mc
Ginn's playing Is marked with a rare
delicacy of touch, her interpretation be
ing all that could be desired.
Mrs. Shlllock was compelled to appeal
In an encore after giving Bartlett's
"Grass and Roses." She was in her usual
good voice and was most enthusiastically
received.
Madame Schumann-Heink's favorite en
core, Schubert's "Whither," was given
as a trio by Mrs. Linn. Miss Watt and
Mrs. Shlllock, whose voices were nicely
balanced. Miss Agnes Watt whose
sweet soprano Is much liked by Port
landers, who have been fortunate enough
to hear her, sang for her solo "The Maids
of Cadiz." Her method Is admirable and
her tone pure and clear. Miss Watt was
also compelled to respond to an encore.
The musical programme was concluded
by a duo on two pianos by Mrs. Schultz
and Mrs. Davis, who played- selections
from "Lohengrin."
The music, both vocal and Instrumental,
was all of the highest class, being purely
classical in selection, and was thoroughly
appreciated by the club members. Pro
grammes of real merit such as this one
was, are encouraged by the committee on
entertainment, to be in keeping with the
standard of the work accomplished by the
Woman's Club.
