A MAN ABOUT TOWN. Last week through a misunderstanding the M. A. T. mentioned Mr. Chas Pierce as the leader of the Mechanic's Band. Mr. R. A. H oh man is leader, who, by the way, at a cornet player, has few equals in Oregon. Mr. Hohtnan has done excellent service for this band and the M. A. T. would not in tentionally say anything to take away the credit due him. lie Is entitled to renewed thanks for many courtesies. Mr Pierce is leader only of the Boys Band. O A petition was circulated, and signed by nearly every business man in Albany ask ing tike repeal of the provision in the police ordinance prohibiting the riding of bicycles on the sidewalk anywhere in the city. The M. A. T. believes the petition should be granted. Bicycle riding is now just as much a means of navigation as walking, does not Injure the sidewalks in the least and does not endanger life or property. The bicy clists of Albany are responsible young men, and are entitled to be treated as in other cities of the site of Albany. In Salem It is al lowed except on the main buslneas street, in Portland It is allowed except on and beyond Fourth street, and everywhere the bicycle is only kept off the business streets, and in many place not even there. Albany can not afford to be one sided in this matter. The fact that the city officers have been In structed to Mwink" at the matter does not do away with the right of the petitioners to have some kind of action on the petition. O The new divorce law, permitting divorces en the grounds of one vears desertion, 1 now in effect. It will be a fine thing for lawyers ; but is a disgrace to our statute books. Our divorce laws are becoming shamefully loose. O It is becoming too common for people, on slight provocation, to have their neighbors arrested for offenses thev are never able to prove. On their ex part proof a case .; easily made out larfore a Justice of the Peace, and all he can do is to issue a warrant. He gives it to the Constable, and all he can do, u to serve it, if he has to travel several hun dred miles to do it, though only a six year old rooster has been taken. The history in Linn county has been that in only about two cases out of ten a conviction follows, that in eight cases putting the county to a large and unnecessary expense. The fault is generally not with the Justice or Con stable, but with the neighbor, who under the heat of spite or passion, makes wild statements. In order to effect an arrest, and which when the trial, or examination before the Grand Jury comes off he cannot sub stantiate . And now these Salvationists. It has be come catching for newspapers to run them down, and for the crowd to follow suit. The M. A. T. does not like their stvleof convert THIS PAPER at.

A.T. has no objection to being call ed My Aunt Tabytha that is a good name, but he objects to being hauled into fields not his own, and about which he is as poor ly posted as even N. P. Arrested 'for Libel. William R. Boone, editor of the Oregon Siftinfs, was arrested last week on charge of Peter Riley for libel, brought to this city and Friday held to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $500 bonds, which were furnished. This is about the wav it happened. A scurrilous item appeared in the Sif tings from this city about a well known citizen. The subject of the sketch went to Portland and hauled Mr Boone over the coals. In the next issue of his paper he apologized and said the article written was signed by one James 9r William Riley, and as there was no such person here it proba bly referred to Peter Riley, whom he at tacked in strong language. When Mr. Riley saw this he was very naturally great ly incensed, as it is generally considered a disgrace to be connected with such a cor respondence as has been going on in the SitimgM, and Mr. Riley is not that kind of a man. Hence the warrant of arrest. Closing Exercise. Closing exercises of the Albany Public 'School, under the management of Prof. Lonaway and assistants, wilt be held in the double rooms, at the school house, on Thursday and Friday afternoons of next week, beginning at 1 :30 p. m. each day. There will be room for about one hundred and fifty visitors. A cordial invitation is extended to the citizens of Albany general y to be present at these exercises. So Hie Ihingles. . Those who went to Mr. William Fort- miller's Friday evening ascertained the fact that a shingle social is a very fine thing. This one particularly was. Numerous games were played by an uncommonly large number of young people, and a choice lunch served on nicely naturally scented shingles, which, by the way,are much more convenient than plates, and are novel for the purpose. Albany needs a scries of shingle or other socials. State Grange. The Oregon State Grange meets at Salem May 24th to and inclusive of May 27th An open reception will be given in the Senate Chamber of the Capitol on May 24th when Governor Pennoyer will deliver, the address of welcome, which will be respond ed to by Mrs. H.
