an eclipse of the moon tonight, and those
wno are interested in sucn matters should
watch the midnight sky. There will be
brilliant colorings, preceded by Inky dark
ness, and the effect will doubtless be
very impressive if the weather is clear.
The time of the eclipse is set between 9
and 10 o'clock, and if the heavens re
main as clear as they have been the past
three or four nights, there should be fine
opportunity to view the phenomena in
this locality. The total eclipse of Octo
ber 16, 1902,, was so thoroughly enjoyed by
those who viewed it that many will
doubtless anxiously watch lor a recur
rence of such an event.

gone to a Pokeville, Ky., pastorate.

where for its sumptuousncss of detail.
Its massive and beautiful scenic effects
and the utter perfection of the orches
tra's rendering of that wonderful
score. The marvel and magic of the
piece, musically speaking:, were felt
more from this magnificent orchestra
and the elaborate perfection of stage
management than from tho recitation
of the music by the principals, and the
choral numbers lacked unison and
smoothness at times. This is paying
a high compliment to Mr. Schenck. the
conductor, and to Mr. Savage, who
furnishes us so splendid a theater

Following the defeat of the ordinance

Member Onee M. E. Church.
The OregonJan, la course of a Ion
article growing out ef the controversy
between Dr. Brougher and Mr. Masters.
said, among many other things, that
Mr. Masters "is a member and Trus
tee of Taylor-Street Methodist
Church." Why there should be any
Inference that his "action has the ap
proval of the Methodist Episcopal
Church" The Oregoalan does not un
derstand; and The Oregonian thinks
there is ao such inference except In
the mind of this correspondent and
possibly of his associates. However,
since Grace Church, through tfils cor
respondent, takes the. trouble to set
Taylor-Street Church straight, w
snan suppose mat mere win be no
chance of misunderstanding hereafter
that Taylor-Street Church cannot and
does not. Indorse the acts of Coun
cllman Masters, its member and Trus
tee.
It Is a trifling matter, but it may b
observed that in the above, in his quo
tatlon from The Oregonian, Mr. John
son carefully eliminated "Taylor
street" The Oregonian does not In
tend to have Its language garbled or
misquoted in its own columns, and has
Inserted these two missing words In
place of the dash( )of the corre
spoudent While discussing the sub
ject of inferences It may be proper to
suggest that this correspondent possibly
Intended that the public should under
stand that The Oregonian had de
scribed Mr. Masters as a member and
Trustee of Grace M. E. Church, and
therefore Grace Church had not gone
out of Its may to criticise- the words
and public attitude of a Trustee of
Taylor-Street Church, or to define the
position of Taylor-Street Church, since
Taylor-Street Church had not seen fit
itself to do it
Mr. Masters is a member of the 11
cense committee of the Common Coun
dL In pursuance of his functions he
has voted four grants of licence to sell
liquor in conformity with law. It
Is for the Methodist Episcopal Church
to say whether this act should exclude
him from its membership. Of course,
The Oregonian can have no opinion
on this point However, it supposes
that sale of liquors under lawful re
slrlctions will be continued In Port
land; It supposes further through 11
cense Issued in pursuance of law,
whether Mr. Masters shall be a mem
ber of the Common Council or the
Methodist Church or not
The Oregonian doesn't know enough
about the usages of the Methodist
Church to say whether Grace Church
can turn Mr. Masters out of Taylor
Street Church or not; and that Is not
its business.

When Heartburn, Sour Stomach,
Headache, Bad Breath, Coated
Tongue, Belching of Stomach Gas, or
any of these forerunners of Indigestion
appear. Old Dr. Cascaret wants to
be right cn the spot in your pocket.
He wants to check the-coming trouble
instantly before it can grow into a
habit of the Bowels to be costive.
Ladies, who extend to Dr. Cascaret the
hospitality of their Purses or their Dress
' Pockets, will 'be rewarded with a fine
complexion, and healthy Happiness.
These will about fifty times repay for
the trifling space occupied, and the ten
cents per week at cost.
Dr. Cascaret guarantees to cure the
most obstinate cases of Constipation and
Indigestion, without discomfort cr in
convenience. His medicine does not gripe nor purge,
nor create a drug habit.
Because it is not a "Bile-driver," nor
a Gastric-Juice Waster, but a direct
Tonic to the Bowel Muscles.
It exercises naturally the muscles that
line the walls of the Intestines and
Bowels.
Want of Exercise weakens and relaxes
these Bowel-Muscles, just as it weakens
Arm and Leg muscles.
Old Dr. Cascaret goes directly after
these Bowel-Muscles. He wakes
them up just as a cold bath would wake
up a lazy person.
