NOM DE PLUMES.
SAYS H. A. BROWN, OF THE CAMP
Dlines Aro Rich, and Are Betas Con

Abundant Oatloolc for Easi

"From the standpoint of the business
man, as well as that of tbo practical
miner, the Thunder Mountain district of
fers possibilities that are far abovo those
of the average mining camp," said H. B.
Brown yesterday, in an Interview. Mr.
Brown Is manager of the Brown Trading
Company, which operates at "Warren,
Grangevllle and Thunder Mountain. Mr.
Brown is In the city for the purpose of
purchasing his Summer and Fall supplies,
and Is interesting Portland merchants in
the great mercantile possibilities of the
Thunder Mountain camps. He Is a middle-aged
man, and a miner by occupation,
iavlng spent the greater portion of his
'lite in the West. For the past six years
he operated successfully in the Seven
Devll3 copper mines, on tho Upper Snake
Jtlver, but last "Winter was attracted to
the new camps by the great business pos
sibilities afforded in the district.
"Things are running along In good shape
up in tho diggings," continued Mr.
Brown, "there being some 25&) people in
the camps on Big Creek and the "West
Fork of Monumental. Tho greatest diffi
culty in the way of mineral and commer
cial development is tho transportation sit
uation. Thunder Mountain camp is
reached only by pack train, as the wagon
road from Emmit has not yet reached the
camp. The present outlet Is by way of
Council and Welser, it being necessary to
travel many miles over a rough traiL
"When the wagon road from Emmlt onco
reaches the camps, transportation facil
ities will be greatly Improved, and I pre
dict largo Investments and fast develop
ment "Do not understand me as saying that
Thunder Mountain is any Klondike bon
anza, for it Is not. I do say, however,
that tho mines of the district aro valuable
properties, and that the output, not only
this year, but In years to come, will be
large. The ore is low grade, averaging
from 58 to $10 per ton. This year will
prove the test of ore bodies in our mines,
and if the indications count for anything,
the outcomo of the season's work will
show that Thunder Mountain is near the
top pf the list. The present expenditures
of the operators are greater than some
people Imagine. Upwards of $500,000 has
been paid out there this season, and there
is plenty of capital to operate all tho
claims in sight. Good placer mines aro
few and far between, as quarts Is our
main stock in trade.
"More than 100 carloads of machinery
are now being taken into tho district, arid
the Fall output will be double that of the
present season. I seo no reason why tho
mines should not be operated during a
greater part of the Winter, as the miners
have the necessary appliances for carry
ing on the work, and the "Winter season
is not severe In that part of the country.
If a railroad should be built Into tho
camps, tho region could be developed with
great speed, and, I think, profit. Every
thing is expensive, except whisky, which
sells at the usual price. All mining sup
plies are very dlear, as the freight tolls
bring the prices to top notch. The min
ers are orderly, and there has been little
or no bloodshed so far. In the early
Spring, when grub was scarce, some cun
ning rascals began to steal provisions,
and they escaped lynching only on prom
ise of future good behavior. There have
been somo attempts at claim-Jumping,
and such work may causo trouble, as the
miners will not tolerate any dishonest
dealings. Claim-Jumping will lead to
lynchlngs and riot, as the miners are for
law and order, and for a square deal all
around. The camp at Thunder Mountain
Is not unlike all other mining camps, and
it has a typical Western appearance. The
miners live in log cabins and huts, while
some of the mercantile establishments
andjsaloons do business In large tents.
"There are two natural outlets for the
business of this section; one to Portland,
the other to Salt lake City. I myself
prefer to trade with Portland, and if this
city is wideawake to the great business
chances offered in our camp, your mer
chants will bestir themselves and see that
the trade comes this way. This Is a
chance that Portland should not over
look, as a mining trade will bring
thousands of dollars to a city tho size of
this. Tho mines up there will not boom,
but they will prosper for years to conic"
Mr. Brown, who Is at the Perkins Hotel,
T1ll remain in the city for several days.
FRENCH BRIDE'S OUTFIT.
Exanlsite Lingerie with. More Em
broidery Than Lace. ,
New York Tribune.
A prospective French bride is having
made, a trousseau of the daintiest descrip
tion, and it includes a good many novelties.
The underwear of the finest linen lawn Is
remarkable for tho beauty of the embriod
ery used and the small amount of lace.
Except on the long white skirts and a
few of the nightgowns, the lace Is Val
enciennes or a narrow edge of Cluny. Tho
seams of the entire outfit are finished by
an Insertion of tiny, openwork beading.
This is used in the seams about the should
ers and yoke of the nightgowns, the join
ing of the sleeve to the yoke, and in the
tiny darts in the pantoloons that take the
place of all unnecessary fullness.
A pretty design in nightgowns has tho
yoke embroidered in a leaf design on the
upper edge. This is cut out, and has a
tiny edge of Valenciennes, making a half
low decolletage. The same Idea Is used
on one of the corset covers. One pretty
nightdress has an Inserted bolero of em
broidery and lace insertion. This gar
ment is also cut half low at the neck.
Tho sleeves on most of the nightgowns
are elbow length. Some have little hang
ing cuffs of hand embroider", edged with
lace, and others ruffles. One pretty sleeve
is shirred on the Inside of the jirm. An
other has a straight cuff made of three
rows of entredeux.with ribbon run through
and tying in three little bows on the out
side of the arm. This garment Is ar
ranged across the bust with three rows
of entrcdeux. ending with bows on each
side. Some of the nightgowns ore made
with short choker and little turnover
pieces, for the big, elaborate collar Is de
mode now. A bertha effect Is better. If
one insists on an elaborate night gar
ment. All of the corset covers end at the waist,
with a ribbon run through entrcdeux.
Handkerchief points make a pretty trim
ming about the decolletage, and afford an
excellent opportunity to show cxqutaltc
embroidery One corset cover has a flock
of butterflies, not only on the bertha, but
down the sides of the garment. An ex
cellent Idea is a set of corset covers made
a little higher in the neck than the ordi
nary carmont, and witn little puffs in the
armholes, to be worn with thin shlrt
wa'sts. Three Jittle darts are taken la
front of the armholes to give better sup
port to the bust. With the low corset
In vogue, the corset cover becomes a most
Important garment.
There are some lovely corsets in the out
fit, charmingly embroidered by hand. One
corset. In pale pink silk, has a geranium

front, made perfectly flat, but strong
enough to hold the pettlcoate. The cor
sets are laced in three parts, and there
aro hooks to hold the lacings.
The Colbert embroidery is one of tho
successful Items In underwear, although
one that can hardly become common. It Is
done entirely by hand, and a good deal of
it is openwork, resembling almost lace ap
plications. Another combination of open
work and hand embroidery la called the
riviere.
The white petticoats in this outfit aro
trimmed largely with Cluny lace, deep
waving insertion heading the shaped
flounce. This flounce is mounted over two
or three smaller ruffles, the upper yone
trimmed with lace. One lovely-shaped
flounce is ' tucked In groups, with- two
rows of entredeux separating tho groups.
An attractive ellk petticoat is of black
and white striped silk, with ruffles and
flounces of white mouasellne de sole, em
broidered with a tiny black silk ribbon.
Another pretty affair of white silk has a
flounce of white lace. Inset with black
lace figures, and motifs in black Chantllly
running up the seams of the skirt.

Real Estate 3Inrket Improves.
The real estate market was In n quiet
condition yesterday, the rainy weather
and the subsequent dullness attending tho
Fourth of July celebration having a de
pressing effect upon the market. For sev
eral weeks the strike situation has played
havoc with what promised to bo the best
real estate market in Portland's history.
Now that the crisis in the strike has
passed over, and business conditions are
on the rise, the general real estate situa
tion Is Improving, and dealers look for a
busy Fall season. July is usually a dull
month with property-dealers, but tho
present outlook lsa good one. provided
the strike should not take a backset and
cause anew the conditions of a month
ago. Several dealers seen ysstsrday wore
of the opinion that values will go up dur
ing the next month or two, and that the
market will bo unusually active.

DIES BY HIS OWN HAND
HEIR TO A FORTUNE FIRES A SHOT
INTO HIS BRAIN.
Fred F. Grosshans, of Detroit,
Found Dead In East Side
Lodsints-Housc.
Is
Fred F. Grosshans, of Detroit; Mich.,
heir to a considerable sum of money, com
mitted suicide in a room. In the lodging
house on the southeast corner of East
Morrison and East Water streets some
time Friday night. His body was discov
ered yesterday morning, shortly after 11
o'clock, by Mrs. C. Hestie, proprietress,
when she entered the room. When first
seen he was sitting In a chair with a 32
callber pistol In his hand, his head slight
ly bent to one side. There was nothing
in the room disturbed, and he had not
gone to bed. All the cartridges had been
removed from the cylinder of the pistol
but the one that was fired Into his brain.
He had placed the pistol against his right
temple and pulled the trigger. Death was
evidently Instantaneous, as he had never
moved from the chair In which he was sit
ting. It was clearly a case of premedi
tated suicide.
Tho Coroner held an inquest yesterday
afternoon at the East Side morgue. Gross
hans, safoMrs. Hestie, came to the lodging-house
about a week ago. Friday
afternoon he went into his room and was
not seen again until he was found dead,
when the room was opened. He had prob
ably been dead several hours. The shot
was not heard by any one during the
night.
C. Hoover identified him as a young
man who came from Detroit, Mich., last
March. He had roomed on the West Side
and had been employed by Page & Son,
on Front street, for a time. Recently he
did not appear to have any regular em
ployment. Mr. Hoover said that Gross
hans was 27 years of age, and an orphan.
Several of his uncles are living in Detroit,
Mich., and he was Joint heir to a consider
able share in an estate In Detroit. Gross
hans had made preparations for self-destruction
some time ago. On one occasion
he had decided on committing the deed and

suaded by his friend. Hoover, to desist
ana give up his revolver. He talked fre
quently of committing suicide. In his
effects two bottles of poison wero found.
He was fairly well dressed. A letter was
addressed to him from a young woman of
Sllvcrton, complaining about his failure
to repay her money "he hod borrowed.
After hearing the evidence the Coroner's
Jury returned a verdict of suicide. An at
tempt will be mode to communicate with
his relatives In Detroit, Mich.
DEATH OF T. A. SHETTERLY.
Striclten With Paralysis at Pleasant
Jlomc-Wn Civil War Veteran.
At 12 o'clock Friday night T. A. Shet
tcrly, a well-known farmer and G. A. R.
man, died at the home of George Leslie,
near Pleasant Home, from a stroke of
paralyols. His death was suddon and
wholly unexpected. Mr. Shctterly had
been in his usual health during the day.
nnd was perfectly cheerful. Ho died very
soon after the attack. Dr. Short was called
to attend him.
Mr. Shettcrly was a prominent farmer in
that district, where he had lived for a
number of years. He was a member of
M. A. Ross Post. G. A. R,. of Pleasant
Home, and took a prominent part in the
reunions that have taken place annually
for tne past 15 years at that place, and
was a member of the committee of ar

He was CO years of age. A wife and
four sons survive him. It is expected that
the G. A. K. post will have charge of the
funeral services, whlclr will be held today
at 2 P. M. The deepest regret prevails in
the community over his death, as it will
be a personal loss to many friends.
THE FLINN CHERRY.
Prononnccd by Experts to Ue One of
the nest Grown In the State.
The "TFllnn cherry." developed at the
borne of Dr. M. A. Film, on Ecst Wash
incton. near East Eighth street, is at
tracting much attention among experts.
Yestcroay M. J. Magcon. a well-known
fruitgrower of Gravel Hill, and A. T.
Webb, who has 1200 cherry trees on his
form on the Base Line road, examined
the cherries as they were taken from the
tree. It was found that. In spite of the
storm, there was very little Indication of
splitting, only the ripest being affected.
The most of the cherries are fine and
plump. Mr. Magoon.and -Mr. Webb made
& close Investigation of these cherries, and
seem to think they are equal to any of
the varieties that have been produced in
this state so far. The cherries are very
firm and hard, and seem to have all the
qualities of good shippers. Mr. Magoon
pronounced them of a superior quality
and predicted that when generally grown
will make a cherry popular for shipping
t purposes, cwlng to the firmness of the
meat. The pits are small. Dr. Fllnn de
veloped the tree, which Is now 0 ycanj old,
from a-seedllng. He noticed some sprouts
in his back yard, which he cut down,
except the most promising, with the result
that he has produced a new variety. Last
year he sent some of the buds to a lead
ing grower In California and also some
Oregon growers used the buds. In the
course of time the variety will, come to
be generally grown. Dr. Fllnn is anxious
that It should be grown, and has been
distributing the buds free to all who may
want them for propagation.

The "Wlint-You-Call-It" Unblt.
New York Times.
"One of the minor advantages of clubs,"
said a bright woman, "is that they tend
to the prevention and cure of the 'what-you-call-lt
habit."
"The what?" asked her hearer, amazed.
"The 'what-you-call-lt habit! I mean
the habit of forgetting names and calling
everybody Mrs. 'What-you-call-lt,' or 'Mr.
What's-hlc-name. When you meet so
many people, with many of whom you arc
barely acquainted, you must learn to re
member names, or you'll make enemies.
People don't like to have their names for
gotten. It Irritates them. It's an un
spoken assertion of their Insignificance."
"But I thought forgetting names was a
natural Infirmity."
."It Is supposed to be; but natural in
firmltifo. like other difficulties, you know,
are opportunities for the great! You have
no idea how much can be done toward
overcoming them."
"It sounds very heroic!"
"Of course. Without a touch, of the
heroic, we become flabby or commonplace,
or both. It takes mental power to over
come the 'what-you-call-lt' habit; but once
having wrestled with It nnd conquered it.
you realize the value of available Intelli
gence." When the French General Bourbakl re

DOGS BURIED IN STATE
CAXIXE FUNERALS IN WASHINGTON
ARE IMPOSING AFFAIRS.
District of Columbia Has Provided
a Cemetery for Deceased Pets No
Back Yard Burials.
Of all the remarkable institutions to be
found in Washington, says the Washing
ton Post, there are few quite o unusual
as tho cemetery for dogs and cats, sit
uated on the Bladensburg Road, Immedi
ately cast of Mount Olivet cemetery. This
institution is duly authorized by law and
regularly Inspected by the District health
officers, and is owned and conducted by
Dr. D. E. Buckingham, of 2lH Fourteenth
street, northwest, who is not only a skill
ful veterinarian and a graduate of the
University of Pennsylvania, but In addi
tion enjoys the unique distinction of be
ing the first and only dog undertaker In
Washington.
The Institution, unusual as It Is, and
amusing though It may seem, Is never
theless conducted on business principles,
and managed by people who are far from
being cither commonplace or jpoverty
stricken. Dr. Buckingham, who origi
nated and is now conducting the enter
prise, served on the Government horse
nnd mule board at St. Louis, Mo., during
the Spanish-American War, and until the
Fall of 1&00 was connected with the Na
tional Zoo as veterinarian in charge.
The enterprise originated as a side
growth to his veterinary practice, and
through the desire of wealthy people, who
become very much attached to their pct3,
to. sec that they are properly burled and
tlicir graves tended after death.1 As a
general thing they would prefer to inter
them In their own yards, but as the Dis
trict government makes this an offense,
punishable by a fine of from J10 to ?33,
they have hailed with satisfaction the es
tablishment of a regular dog undertaking
business by Dr. Buckingham, who, in
consequence, has a large and growing
custom.
You ask me how I conduct a dog
funeral? Well, we will say, for example,
that the favorite pug or poodle of some
wealthy lady dies, and that I am sent for,
On arrival I And the body of the animal
laid out on silk cushion.", and the family
In tears. As a rule, they want to Inter
their animal in their own back yard, and
then it Is that I have to explain to them
that this Is against the law and liable to
cause trouble, as there are always prying
and revengeful neighbors about who know
What is going on In every back yaTd In
the block, and who would ask nothing
better than to report the matter to the
health authorities.
"When I make this clear to them, the
lady usually answers that this difficulty
can be very easily, overcome, and that our
man will bury 'poor Flossie after dark.
Then I am ob'iged to tell them that this
will not help matters, no the decomposing
body will produce an odor, rendering the
place unhealthy, etc.. concluding by sug
gesting that they turn the undertaking
and funeral arrangements over to me and
have the animal buried in my dog and cut
cfenetery. I explain to them that the
latter Is authorized by law and regularly
Inspected, so that the bodies of pets In
terred therein are absolutely certain never
to be disturbed.
"TJhls general brings them to reason,
and the funeral arrangements are settled
thore and then- I charge all the wty
from ?5 to $15 a lot In my cemetery, ac
cording to sizo end location, giving them
an instrument In writing, something In
tho nature of a deed, by which they prac
tically become owners of the plot In which
their dog or cat is buried for a period of
five years. At the exDlration of that pe
riod they can continue to hold the' lot by
the payment of a jiomlral fee. I alro
Charge several dollars for the coffin which
I provide for the body, for the work of
burial, wooden monument or tombstone,
planting of flowers and other incidentals.
"This done, I leave the house, select a
coffin for the animal from among a num
ber that I keep in stock to fit every size
of canine, from a pug to a mastlfr, and
turn the rest of the matter over to my
colored dog undertaker, John Harris. Har
ris sets out in the morning in a covered
wagon, and reaching the pacc where the
body of the dog i3 lying In state, places
It in the coffin and seta out for the cem
etery on the Bladensburg road or Balti
more pike. This cemetery covers three
acres of land and is situated on a high
knoll, covered with lare and stately oak
trees and surrounded by a handsome wire
fence. Harris places the body Jn the
grave that has been prepared for Its re
ception, and which the sexton, a man
I employ there, fills up and 'mounds up'
In proper fashions as though the grave
contained human Instead of canine re
mains. "Thus far I have not erected any tomb,
stones in the cemetery, although I expect
to do something of this sort soon, as there
are quite a number of people who think
a great deal of their animals, and who
have decided to erect tombstones over
their graves. Take Admiral Walker's
dog for example. The Admiral had an
old Irish setter named 'Don,' that had
accompanied him on every cruise and had
been all over the world. He died several
weeks ago of Bright's disease, at the ripo
old age of 13 years. The Admiral was so
much affected over the death of faithful
old Don that he shed tears.
" 'You may think it foolish of me,' hel
said, 'but that dog and I were such. friends
that I cannbt help sorrowing over hla
death.'
"Then there was Miss Wright's pug dog
'Beauty,' that died of eye trouble, and
E. A. Mitchell's cocker spaniel, 'Pedro,'
that fell a victim to congestion of the
brain. These thTee have headboards bear
ing their names, but I think that later
they will have little stone monuments.
"One dog that died recently was a fa
mous character. He was an English set
ter named 'Flash' and belonged to Miss
Henderson, of 934 I street. Flash was
the most arrant old meat thief In Wash
ington, and stole meat from butchers for
blocks around. He reached the ripe old
age of 14 years and died of gorging him
self with a sirloin steak which he stole
from under the very nose of an I-street
butcher. He has a fine wooden monu
ment bearing the legend: 'Flash. He
died leaving many friends,' though prob
ably not among the butchers.
'In addition to my undertaking busi
ness, I am a regular cat and dog doctor,
and in the course of my practice have
sdme very amusing and curious cases. As
a general thing there Is more sickness
among dOg3 In the Winter than In the
Summer season. You see In Summer they

Why "Writers Adopt Them ATatkora'
Real Names.
London Tit-Bits.
There Is euch a tantalizing suggestion of
mystery in many of the. pen names Tyhich
are so famfHar to us that one cannot re
sist wondering how and why they were
assumed; and the story of their genesis
ought to be interesting.
Why, for example, should the late
Charles Klngsley's talented daughter
choose to be known aa Lucas Malet; Ae
cording to her own confession, her modes
ty was the motive which Induced her to
conceal, her identity, so that any failure
on her part should not dim the luster of
her father's fame. For this reason she
combined the names of two clever women
In her family, one of whom was Misg
Mary Lucas, tho maiden name of her
father's mother, and the other Alice Ma
let, her grandmother's aunt, both of which
names she has thus rescued from oblivion.
With lady writers the fear of family
criticism deems to have been -responsible
for many assumed names. Mrs. Alexan
der, for Instance, the author of "The
Wooing O't" and other delightful novels,
adopted the Christian name of her hus
band, Mr. Alexander Hector, and under
this mask won -her fame before he was
even aware that she had written a line,
And lime. Sarah Grand, knowing that her
husband, Surgeon McFall, did not ap
prove of her views, concealed her Identity
under the name now so widely known,
and which she chose on account of its
pUlnness.
It is curious, by the way, how many
lady authors have selected unattractive
and even ugly pen names. Olive Schrclner
won her laurels under the almost repellant
name of Ralph Iron; Mrs. Cralgle chose
to be known as John Oliver Hobbcs, de
liberately selecting the least attractive
name she could think of, so that It might
not be recognized as a woman's choice
and ffmt it might warn her against yield
ing to womanly sentimentality In her
writing; and for similar reasons, Mrs. Ar
thur Stannard presented herself to tho
public as John Strange Winter, as unef
femlnate a name as one could easily con
ceive. Many writers have reduced the mys
tery of their noma de plume to the utmost
by simply using their Christian name, ae:
Mr. Thomas Anatey Guthrie, who chose
to be known as F. Anstey; Mr. Forbes
Phlllipo as Athol Forbes; Mr. Anthony
Hope Hawkins, as Anthony Hope, and Mr.
A. R. Hope-Moncrioff, as Ascott R. Hope.
It Is curious to observe how almost in
variably the pen-names of lady writers
are either avowedly masculine or without
indication of sex, as George Eliot, Max
well Gray and G. M. Hutton (Mrs. Mona
Calrd).
Miss Ada Ellen Bayly arrived at, the
namo Edna Lyall, now so familiar to us,
by the simple process of transposing
somo of the letters of her own name,
and Mile de la Ramee, as Is known,
adopted as her public appellation "Ouida,"
which was the nearest approach a very
youthful sister could make to the pro
nunciatlon of her Christian name, Louisa.
Somo pen-names have a distinctly hu
morous origin, as Luke Sharp, which
suggests the obvious meaning that oc
curred to its owner, Robert Barr. Mr.
Mostyn T. PIggott preserves his initials
In the amusing form of Medium Tom
Phun. '
The name Mark Twain was, as Is pret
ty generally known, suggested to Mr.
Clemens by the cry of the leadsman on a
Mississippi boat when the lead indi
cated that the boat was in shallow and N
consequently dangerous water; the Rev.
John Watson arrived at Ian Maclaren
by using the Gaelic form of John and
adding his mother's maiden name of
Maclaren. and Max O'Rell made a com
bination of his grandfather's Christian
name, Maxlme, and his grandmother's
patronymic, O'Reilly, abbreviating Max
ine O'Reilly into the familiar Max O'Rell.
