Sixth Street Merchants Subscribed.
PORTLAND, Aug. 4. (To the Editor )
I notice in this morning's paper that Mr.
R. Buctlkofer protests against the street
far on Sixth street and questions the
.right of the Council to give the assocla
tlpn control of the highway. I am not
acquainted with Mr. Buetlkofer, and find
in the directory only one R. Buetlkofer,
who is a real estate agent on Washing
ton street, so his plea for the merchants
of Sixth street Is not personal, but as
either a voluntary or solicited special
pleader. Permit me to say that when the
fair was contemplated the first citizens
consulted and the first subscribers to tho
fund and, in proportion, the most liberal
subscribers were tho merchants along
Sixth street, the line of tho fair grounds.
Their contributions were made with the
distinct understanding that the fair was
to bo held on Sixth street, and when later
It was proposed to change to the Park
blocks, a majority of theso subscribers
stated that they would withdraw their
subscriptions if this was done. I do not
think that any citizen will be heard to
complain of temporary inconvenience
when the great good that this" fair will
do for Portland and all its Interests Is
demonstrated, as It effectually will be,
and certainly the inconvenience will oo
mode as slight aa possible-by the man
agers. E. W. ROWE.
President
" The Oregonlan understands that Mr.
"Buetlkofer is In business on Sixth street
or his letter would not have been
printed.

Chicago Times-Herald.
It is not generally known that under
an old act, which la said to have it
origin In the theft of a watch from the
person of William IV at Ascot races, the
Chief Magistrate of Bow street has to
attend at every race meeting there com
bining business with pleasure, perhaps.
The late Sir John Bridge was very par
tlGular In this rcspedt. ?o Ascot meet
ing was complete without him. He held
his court during the Intervals between the
Tates,1- and many a pickpocket who has
been dealt with by him at Bow street
w"as surprised when the same magistrate
awarded him six months' hard labor at
.Ascot.
THEY SWORE OFFSPRING
AD THE BABY HOME 15 ENRICHED
TO THE AMOUNT OF ?30.
Fall From Grace of Six Incurahlea
Glvea a "Worthy Charity a Mach-
Xeeded, Donation.
Because six Portland men swore off
smoking under a cash penalty and then
broke their "swear," tho Baby Home Is
winner $30. How it all happened is thus
told:
Portland, Aug. 1. Treasurer of the Port
land Baby Home Dear Madam: It Is an
article of faith in many poetic creeds
that the brightest stars that gem the
heavens are women's good intentions and
resolutions, crystallized in everlasting
light However this may be, they cer
tainly take shape In many of earth's
noblest charities and most radiant bene
factions. With men, and their aspirations and
resolves for betterment, the case is wholly
different High authority declares that a
sultry locality, whose name of four let
ters begins with an "h" and ends with
an "1" Is "paved with good Intentions,'"
or good resolutions of the masculine va
riety "gone wrong."
A half dozen of us Just now have on
haad a small assortment of these Plu
tonian paving-stones, that we desire, if
possible to transmute, by the divine
alchemy of feminine benevolence, into
something better Into tinsel asteroids. If
unfit for stars.
Messrs. Ralph Moody, Ralph Wilbur,
John Wilcox, William H. Hurlburt and
James Morris and myself recently re
solved, Individually and collectively, to
quit smoking for 30 days, with an agree
ment that any one who failed to "live up
to the blue-edged china" of his resolu
tions should "ante" I mean contribute
$5 to the deserving Institution of which
you are the esteemed and honored purse
bearer. Our sixfold good resolutions were made
In simple good faith, with slxtuple good
intentions but we are all only men and it
is therefore simply "the expected that
has happened." It has not surprised us,
and we do not imagine It will surprise
you, that wo havo fallen from the grace
of even an attempt at reform, and that
all our high resolves have "ended In
smoke."
Enclosed you will find a check for 0.
the aggregate amount of the profits or
penalties, though In such a cause, and
under such clrcumstancos. a forfeit seems
a winning, and a penalty becomes a
pleasure.
May we not hope that "out of evil
good may come," and that our six-manifold
weakness which we confess "with
contrite hearts and penitent minds' may.
In some small measure at least, strength
en the hands of yourself and your asso
ciates in your altogether admirable "la
bor of love."
With the best wishes for the noble char
ity in which you and your lady associates
are engaged, believe me, in behalf of my
five fellows!nners and myself, yours most
respectfully, FRED S. MORRIS,
Chairman Reform Committee.

blanket in making their new law. It was
certainly made of shoddy, or it would not
have shrunk so in the first washing. It
falls to cover the advertising agent, archi
tect, building and paving contractors,
hide, wool and hair dealers, detective
agencies, wire and fence workn, soda
fountains, umbrella and hat stores, pho
tographers and newspapers. Then we have
about 1C0O profesdlonal men In this city,
who make a living easily without the use
of capital, and who do not contribute a
cent to make this blanket more com
fortable. The lawyers vihom the publl
supply with courtrooms and Judge- o
ply their vocation do not pay a cent.
maybe because they are a necessary evil.
The doctor, who also makes his money,
easy, and his brother the dentist, are both
left out in the cold. The blanket Is not
large enough to cover them. The Jbweler
is down for $10; the floritt ls "touchcl"
for $20; the butter-dealer Is placed on a
level with the rich Jeweler; and in tho
vehicle license the hearse which carries us
to the grave is down for 35 a quarter,
while the doctor's carriage Is not down at
all. The scale-dealer, who tries to mako
men honest, is down for ?25 for his good
intentions, while the poor waflle-man must
contribute $9. and will certainly have to
make larger holes in hl3 waffle3 In the fu
ture. The saddler who helps to build up
the town Is down for $20. and the new In
fant industry, our Mining Exchange, has
each of its members down for $100 a quar
tetr. Most of these people are newcomers
here and want to maka thla their homo,
and certainly shoutd receive better treat
ment from our city fathers. I am a gocd
Judge of blankets, but thl3 is the worst
blanket I ever saw, and I hope it won't
last the city very long, or men may havo
to patronize some other mill that can fur
nish a better quality. I am In favor of a
license, but want It graded first, second
and third clas3, and to cover everybody.
