Short, of Grace Episcopal Church, Tells Parishioners Why He WHI Not Join In the Revival Services. ASTORIA, Or.. March 30. (Special.) At the Tegular midweek services of Grace Episcopal Church last evening-, Rev. VT. 8. Short, rector of the church, severely scored the methods adopted by the evangelists -who aro now conducting services In this city and Portland. A movement Is on foot to induce the evangelists who are now at Portland to come to Astoria, and Mr. Short was requested to unite with the local ministers and others in ar ranging for these proposed meetings- This Mr. Short declined to do, and for his refusal has been criticized by some who are taking an active interest in the mater. His remarks last evening, were intended as an explanation to his parishioners and congregation as to why he has not Joined in the evange listic services now being held in the city, and will not Join In tfiose project ed. Mr. Short said: Beloved Friends and Neighbors: As rour rellow-ciUxea now for well-nigh 20 years, and as your Christian minister whlch I conceive to mean the servant of all), I de Eire to have a plain talk with you. Enthusiasm and emotion can be aroused by any traveling crank, fool, knave or preacher. True Christianity, and truth are not tem porary nor mere enthusiasm or emotion, but are permanent life and habit. It takes more courage, ability and powers to stay by your guns through evil report and good report; to vork in the dark as In the light; In dull times or good; when enthusiasm has died out as when it is at white heat, than when surroundings are all practically favorable. It costs money for traveling teachers as well as for resident instructors, for traveling evangelists as well as for resident ministers. A traveling wayfarer can stir Tip more mis chief in ten minutes than the resident mln- ieter can allay before the nest traveler cornea As a matter of fact this constitutes a considerable portion of the resident minis ter's work these days. Home production and patronising home in dustries apply with special force to the question In hand, for we have at least 12 resident ministers here. A neighboring city is Just now in the throes of a disgraceful Jarring and clashing brought about by outsiders, and wholly un called for, as it seems to me by men who ray i "We are not here pressing our Individ ual claims and the evangelist does not flaunt his former career before the public He tells his .story because urged to do so and because men representing the best life of the cities we have visited have considered It helpful to those who are sorely In need of cheer. This service Is mainly to be held for men who are hopeless and helpless." These statements which X here emphasized stand for themselves. You must be the Judges of their reasonableness. Fifty thou sand, dollars for such a thing! (I have read and been told that them travelers are backed up by that. Vum of money!). Brethren, think twice before you lend your influence to such, and to such a probable outcome in your own city, or countenance any organization which upholds such eensa tlonal emotionalism or emotional sensation alism. : What might we not do with one-tenth -of such a sum with devotlpn and "stick-to-it qualities!" Quietly, steadily, decently, lov ingly and as peaoahly as possible doing daily such work as God puts in our way, will praise him better and save more souls than making a publlo show of the sins of one's private life. Great crowds are not the only sign that the truth is growing and the leaven working. I have been invited to unite with such a kind of work, by these very men. here In our community. You hsrre my reasons, the church's reasons, the Bible's reasons, com mon sense reasons, for refusing to counte nance any such work. Tin quietness and. In confidence shall be your strength." Y. W. C.

ROAD LAW IS NOT ALIVE NOW Proposed Amendment by Hermann Is Without Effect. SALEM. Or.. March 30. (Spec!al.-The amendment of a law which had been re pealed was attempted when the last Lg tslature passed House bill 259. by Her mann, to amend the road laws. Because there was nothing to amend. It is prob able that the proposed change will be In effective. The section which Representa tive Hermann deelred to amend was sec tion 4S20 of Bellinger and Cotton's code, which section declare? that the statute of limitations shall not run against the pub lic so as to give any person title by ad verse possession to public roads or etreets. That section was expressly repealed by the Legislature of 1503, which enacted an other, law upon the same subject and In the same words, though separated into two sections. Hermann's hill proposed to amend the original section by adding a proviso giv ing County Courts authority to vacate county roads that have not been used for five years.

LUMBERMEN SEE DANGER NEAR Booms May Be Prohibited in Gray's Harbor Tributaries. ABERDEEN. Wash., March 30. (Spe cial.) Master In Chancery "W. A. Word en, of Tacoma. and United States District At torney Jesse A. P. Prye, of Seattle, who have been on Gray's Harbor for the past! three days taking testimony In the Hump- tulips boom case,, returned home this morning. The testimony was taken in Ho quiam on account' of the convenience to the witnesses. About 30 witnesses were examined and about BOO pages of testi mony was taken. The case is entitled, "In re the United States and the Humptullps Boom & River Improvement Company," and is similar to the suit brought by the Government against tho Wishkah boom, and recently decided adversely to that corporation In the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran cisco. Lumbermen see great danger to the lumbering industry In this class 'of suits, for, as they say, if booms cannot operate on these streams, then these wat erways cannot be used at all for the float ing of logs. The matter has reached a serious stage. If the Government shall clear out all booms and prevent the storage of logs in the various sloughs and small streams tributary to tho harbor. It will have a very crippling effect on the logging busi ness. APPLE CROP PROMISE IS GREAT E. L. Smith Believes Report of Dam age to Fruit Is Exaggerated. HOOD RIVER, Or., March 30. (Spe cial.) It Is possible that cherries and peaches -wore slightly damaged here last night by the frost, but as those fruits form but a small percentage of the Hood Itlver crop, it means no material dam age for this locality. Apples and straw berries are uninjured, and the prospects are that there will be full crops. E. L. "Smith, president of the State Board of Horticulture, regrets exceed ingly that reports have gone forth that fruit of al kinds has been greatly dam aged throughout the Northwest. Mr. Smith places little credence in the reports. Too often, he says, such reports have gone out in the Spring, wtille In the Fall It Is discovered the fruit crops never were better. "While peaches and cherries may be damaged in some parts of the state, he docs not believe there will be any serious loss. He expects a big apple crop Jn Ore gon this year.

KEPT HIS PLACE OPEN SUNDAY Attorney for Majority of Men Under 150 Indictments Tries to Prevent Sheriff Brown From Draw ing the Jurors. BAKER CITT. Or., March 30. (Spe cial.) Interest In the trial of the so called whisky cases, under about 150 indictments by the recent grand jury. was intensified this afternoon soon aft er the second case that against Will iam Eblln. for keeping open on Sunday went to the jury, and the third case. that of Gus Anderson, of Bourne, was called. The courtroom was crowded, and It was expected a verdict would be reached In a few minutes, and the peo ple waited to hear It. Many leading at torneys and citizens were present. The jury, however, returned at 4:45 o'clock for a reading of their instructions, which -were explicit, although a llttlo different from the Instructions in the first case. Just at this time a bomb was thrown Into the arena by Hon. John L. Rand, who represents the majority of the de fendants, by making a motion that the County Coroner, Dr. T. N. Snow, who has held office for many years and is highly respected, be appointed to draw the jurors, instead of the Sheriff, on the ground that Sheriff Brown is an -In terested party in the trial of the cases. having entered back doors of saloons in person on Sunday to obtain evidence against defendants. The courtroom soon became packed as the news spread, and a heated argu ment between District Attorney Lorn ax and Mr. Rand ensued, during which the court had occasion to call both gentle men down. At times it seemed to by standers that counsel might get into serious Conflict As was the case In the trial of the gambling cases in Port land, where the Coroner was empow ered to draw the juries, Mr. Rand charged the Sheriff had exceeded his duty and was an Interested party In the trial, while the District Attorney main tained the Sheriff was called upon of his own volition to- ferret out all crime and prosecute and arrest lawbreakers, even without warrants. The court Instructed presentation of affidavits at 9 o dock In the morning. The Jury In tho Eblln whisky case at S o'clock tonight brousht in a verdict of guilty.

TEN PER CENT OFF SALARIES Deaf Mute Teachers Feel the Effect of Lack of Appropriation. SALEM. Or.. March 30. (Special.) "Ninety cents on the dollar Is the best terms I have been able to get for sal ary claims for employes at the mute school." said Superintendent Clark to day. when asked how the absence of an appropriation for maintenance will affect his Institution. The mute school Is one of those; institutions which was provided for in tne appropriation bill known as H. B. 370, when carried no emergency clause, and upon which the referendum Is being demanded. 2 money being available, no warrants are being Issued, and persons who work at the state institutions or furnish sup plies for them must find some way of getting cash for their claims against the state. "The first quarter ends tomorrow,' continued Superintendent Clark, "and as soon as the boa.d of trustees meets, all the employes will receive certlft cates of allowance, showing th amounts due them. They .are anxious to know what tney will be able to real Ire on their claims and I have been making Inquiry in their behalf. I rind that the best the brokers will do Is to discount the claims 10 per cent. "That means, that a teacher at the mute .school who receives a salary of 550 a month must accept 545 for his ! claim. It Is in effect a reduction of 10 per cent in salaries. Some of my best . teachers are already seeking places elsewhere and say they cannot stay If they must discount their salary claims. T:ae 10 per cent discount Is offered by the brokers. The banks will not buy the claims at any price, but they offer to make loans. They will loan money on the employe's note and take the as signed claim as security, charging S per cent Interest for the money loaned. They -will loan about S5 per cent of the face of the claim and the employe must -wait until an appropriation is avail able before he gets-the balance of his money. The employes generally need all the money they can get and will take the 90 cents on the dollar." In behalf of the employes at the sev eral state institutions, the Governor. Secretary of State and State Treasurer have been making inquiries to see what terms can be arranged for the sale of state claims and the figures mentioned by Superintendent Clark are about what the board has been able to secure. Not satisfied with that, the board is making further efforts and will endeavor to In duce Portland bankers to take up the claims at their face value, with the as surance tnat the board will use Us In fluence to have the Legislature appro priate money to pay Interest on the claims at 6 per cent. It Is represented to the bankers that if they pay the claimants the face value of their claims the Legislature will be willing to pay interest, which It mlg.it not be willing to do if the claims were bought at a discount. If brokers purchase claims at 10 per cent discount and hold them two years, they will maKe 5 per cent on the money Invested, even if the state al lows no Interest. If the state should then pay 6 per cent interest, they will make 11 per cent. Under the other plan the bankers would get merely the straight 8 per cent interest on the money loaned, while the employe of the state would secure a loan of about 542 on a 550 claim, upon which ho would also re ceive 6 per cent interest, or 53, when the Legislature appropriated money there for. In other words, the employe would receive about 542 now and 511 more two years hence, or 553 altogether on a 550 claim, from which he would have to pay 8 per cent interest for nearly two years, or about 56.50. leaving him. 547.53 net on his salary. The same applies to persons furnishing fuel, groceries, meat, etc Superintendent Calbreath. of the State Insane Asylum, says he does not.' know yet what effect the absence of an appropriation will have on his force of employes. He expects to lose some em ployes if they are compelled to dis count their claims, but says he can fill all vacancies, though perhaps not with .as good men as he has at present. JAMES F. WARDNER IS DEAD Mining Promoter and -Speculator Had Erratic Career In the West. EL PASO, Tex., March 30. James F. Wardner, widely known as a mining pros pector and promoter of gigantic enter prises, who during his lifetime had made and lost furtunes, is dead at El Paso. James F. Wardner was perhaps the best- known pioneer mining man of the North west. He was bom in Milwaukee in 1846, General Charles King being one of his boyhood friends. He served in tho Thirty ninth Wisconsin during the Civil War. He came to the Pacific Coast In 1871, lo cating at Los Angeles, and later engaged In mining. He joined the rush to the Coeur d'Alenes in 1SS3 and cleared up a fortune. The town of Wardner, Idaho, was named in his honor. Later he lost most of his money, but continued to engage In mining ventures. Wardner's life was spent In journeying over the American Continent, his wander ings even taking him Into the diamond fields of South Africa. Ho was connected with large mining deals from the Klon dike to the Isthmus of Panama, had lost at least four fortunes, and at the time of his death was the owner of a quicksilver mine in Mexico. He engaged In hograls lng In California and gold mining in Ari zona, returning to Milwaukee with $4000 and the intention of settling down to some quiet business, but he lost the $4034 in speculation. Among his celebrated schemes In which his Ingenuity displayed Itself was "The National Candy Bank," operated in St. Louis, and "The Consolidated Black Cat Company, Ltd.," with Its ranch for rais ing black cats in Washington. The latter part of his eventful life was spent In prospecting. During the boom days on Puget Sound he was associated with Nelson Bennett In founding tho town of Fairhaven. which was recently consolidated with Whatcom under the name" of Belllngham. They founded a bank, built a fine hotel, club house and theater, and Mr. Wardner erected a handsome residence. One of his most successful ventures was the opening of the Blue Canyon coal mine. on Lake Whatcom, which he sold to Montana syndicate at a good profit. ' When the panic came, Mr. Wardner was again In straits, for he was an Inveterate speculator, and no sooner made money on one venture than he put it into an other. When the gold discoveries on Trail Creek made Rossland boom, he ap peared there and speculated In mining stocks and became manager of a Mon treal land syndicate. He left there when the boom extended to the East Kootenai country and established a townsite which he named after himself. Selling out there. he started a steamboat line on the Upper Kootenai River, from Jennings. Mont., into British Columbia, but both his boats were wrecked In one year. Then he drifted to Seattle, in time to take a flyer in the Alaska and Klondike boom.. Wardner's recent operations have been in the Southwest and Mexico, and a few weeks ago he was reported to be In dan iter of murder by the Taqul Indians. He was a typical Western boomer, no sooner making a fortune than he lost It again, but always cheerful, optimistic and confident that he would "win on the next deal" the living personification of Colo nel Sellers.

FAILS IN SPEED TRIAL Goldsborough Makes Final Effort on Puget Sound, SUFFERS SEVERAL ACCIDENTS Hoodooed Torpedo - Boat Destroyer Runs, at 29.4-Knot Clip, for Half a Mile, but Cannot Keep It Up. SEATTLE. March 30. Twenty-five knots was the average speed 'made by the torpedo-boat destroyer Goldsborough on her final trial held InVthe waters of Elliot Bay this afternoon. On the fifth lap of the mile course the craft made 29.4 knots for a half mile, but she failed to keep It up, and from the report of the trial board there Is little hope that she will ever be able to develop an average of more than 25 knots. True to her reputation, the Goldsborough featured the trial with a series of acci dents. They were of a minor character. however, consisting of trouble with her auxiliary engines and the blowing out of packing In her steam connections. It cannot be determined what the Navy Department will do regarding the Golds borough until after the result of the- trial Is submitted to the bureau at Washing ton, D. C. The trial board was com posed of J. V. B. Bleeker, captain of the Bremerton navy-yard, and president of the board; J. B.

Mrs. Shermer left a candle burning In the room after turning on the gas. and when the deadly carbon monoxide had ac cumulated a sufficient density it exploded with terrific force, setting fire to the room and frightfully burning the corpse. As soon as tho blaze was discovered stu dents and neighbors broke Into the house and extinguished the flames with buckets of water. A GOOD DEAL OF NONSENSE About "Blood Purifiers" and "Tonics." Every drop of blood, every bone, nerve and tissue in the body can be renewed In but one way, and that is, from whole some food properly digested. There Is no other way, and the Idea that a medi cine in Itself can purify the blood or sup ply new tissues, and strong nerves is ri diculous and on a par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or indigestion is a germ disease, or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach which refuses to digest food can be made to do so by irritating and in flaming the bowels by pills and cathar tics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure Indi gestion, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the di gestive principles which weak stomachs lack, and, unless the deficiency of pepsin and diastase !s supplied. It Is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics," "pills," and "cathar tics" which have absolutely no digestive power, and their only effect Is to give a temporary stimulation. One grain of the active principle In Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3.000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this m a glass bottle at proper temperature, but of course are much more effective in the stomach. There Is probably no remedy so uni versally used as Stuart's Tablets, be cause It is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to Insure perfect digestion and assimilation of food. People who enjoy fair health take Stu art's Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep well; prevention is better than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent Indigestion and they remove It where It exists. The regular use ofone or two of them after meals will demon strata their merit and efficiency bette: than any other argument. as Stses. ICe to Ms JEscfe. A. SAKXAXXXA JS CO.. Haters, Taaass. IT.
