A MAN ABOUT TOWN.
The young man without legs, who played
the concertina, on a tricycle, in Albany, last
week, in the evening sent his attendant into
store with fifteen dollars in silver to ex
change for gold, which would indicate that
placing concertinas, particularly as nicely as
this unfortunate young man played his, it a
lucrative business.
O
An Albany gentleman who had never
before experienced the privilege of being a
father immediately wrote a triumphant let
ter to his parents in the East, closing with
these words : "More in the future news,
I mean," which explains itself.
O
The Man About Town has met a lady In
Albany who was in the famous Peoria, 111.'
railroad disaster last Summer, one of the
worst on record. Fortunately she was In one
of the last of the fifteen excursion cars that
were wrecked and was not injured. With
her own eves she saw a man cut a woman's
fingers off with a hatchet for the rings that
were on them.
O
The Man About Town was very much
struck with a remark made by Prof. D. T .
Stanley at the Teachers' Institute Friday
evening. He said, "the young man wlio gets
a living without earning it is a leech on so
ciety." There are too many leeches here as
well as in other places, unnecessarily so, for
tawing wood, spading gardens, putting down
carpets, doing anything, almost, is as hon
orable as clerking, or acting as advance
agent for a circus, and more so than the lat
ter. Idleness becomes a disease as loath
some as leprosy, and if a young man has
any ambition at all he had better work for
nominal pay than be idle for nothing. A
reputation for industry and reliablity in lit
tle things leads up to valuable results.
O
There are plenty of people who know
more about running a newspaper than the
editors themselves, and just for the fun of
the thing we will let one of them run a
short column of hi own. Here it is :
"Gosh darn the Albany sidewalks ; why
alnt they fixed betur ; aint that what we
hav Marshals for en v way. Drive damn the
ales, straten the bonis, takeout the rot and
lets hav walks that pepie can walk on.
Them's my sentiments.
"Now tharc is, that is I mene, in other
wurds well I'll think rr.oar about it."
O
Which will win, the hens and ducks or
the gardens.
The ArtM ir Kntertainment.
Our citizens should turn out generally to
see the ingenius Mr C 0 Hogue, of Corval
lis, in the role of an offhand artist. In the
first place it wilt help the Ladies' Aid So
clety, which is in need of money. In the
next place you will get the worth ot your
money several times. Mr Hogue does rapid
and correct work, decidedly of the humor
ous character and makes your ribs rattle
He will take off several prominent Al
banians, who will be readily recognized.
Local hits you know, are always the best

On Thursday of last week Mr. James Gar
ret, of Peoria, after attending to business in
this city went to Halsey on the evening train,
and from there rode with a friend to within
a mile of his home. He was talking with a
Mr. Meyers, when he suddenly cried "catch
me," and fell to the ground. On bending
over him he was found by Mr. Myers to be
dead and was taken to his home. He was
buried under the auspices of the Masonic
order, of which he wa a member. Mr.
Garrett leaves a wife and several children.
He was 70 years of age at the time of his
decease. James Garrett came to Oregon
from Missouri in 1852 and took up the land
claim on which he resided until his death.
He was a man of uncompromising integrity,
a splendid father and a loving husband.
Those who knew him, and the number was
many, were his friends, for his amiability of
character and gentlemanly disiosition
brought him friends on every hand. His
death caused universal sorrow in the neigh
borhood where he was known best, and no
one mentions the affair without a kind word
for him who was taken so suddenly away.
For twenty-five vears Mr. Garrett was a
frequent caller at the Democrat office,
whose sterling friend he always was. lie
knew how to look over a fault and to ap
preciate a favor. The afflicted wife and rela
tives have the sympathy of the whole com
munity.
Making a Fn-.
The newspapers at Albany puff up their
town as though it was the only one in the
state that amounts to an vthing.but if it Isn't
any more enterprising than its daily papers
it uoesn t amount to much. They brag
about their electric light and at the same
time tell about haying nine street lamps and
two of those are taken by the county. That
city must look grand after night, being il
luminated in that manner. Eugene has at
least twenty-five and doesn't make near as
much fuss over it. Eugene Rtguttr.
Yes but your twenty-five little 100 candle
light offer no comparison to our nine 2000
candle lights. See here : 2x100 -2 coo
9x2000-18,000. There's the difference.
Nine big electric lightR,judiciouIy distribut
ed, are worth a thousand jack-o-lantcrns
Eugene is prospering and is a good city
but so is Albany also. Let us have a good
natured race for the lead. We have grounds
for making a fuss about Albany.
Report of Grand Jury.
The grand jury at the Circuit Court be
ore adjournment last week made the fol
owing report :
We the undersigned grand jury for the
March term of Circuit Court bee leave to
submit this, our final report :

ed our labors, we ask to be discharged.

An Afternoon Maze.
Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock a
fire was discovered in the roof of the Dr.
Wallace property oa First Stroet.now owned
by Dr. O'Toolo, and occupied by Henry and
Charles Miller. An alarm was given and by
remarkably quick work a hole was cut in the
roof and the flames extinguished before much
bad been burned, though considerable dam
age gs-as done by water. The fire started
from the flue directly under the roof. The
building was insured in the London Ins. Co.,
Judge Powell,agont,and the loss is estimated
at 300 or $400.

Wry Entertaiaiag
Among the many entertaining proceed
ings had at the Teacher's Institute last
week, all were overshadowed by the rendi
tion from the stage of the Opera House, of
fhe Merchant of Venice" by a data of
vouni? ladies in elocution, w.10 have been
for some time under the tutorage of Mrs O
S Pollock, teacher of English Literature in
the Albany College, who had brought her
clas to the Institute to illustrate her "Prac
tical Methods of Instruction in Literature.'
Miss Anna 1 'linn in the character of Duke
fully represented that quiet, dignified man
ner and disinterested purpose which befi t
one who administers law and justice from
the bench. Miss Esther Marshall, as An
tonio fully brought out that "quiet of spirit"
with which Antonio seemed to be imbued
when resigning himself to the tyranny of
rage of Shylock. Miss Maud VanHora, as
Bassanlo, the friend Antonio, very success
fully represented the love and disinterested
loyalty which Baaaanlo bore to the latter.
Miss Vesta Mason, as Gratia no, displayed
the Indignation which that gentleman felt
when applying the epithets, -damned Inex
ecrable dog" to the "currish" Shylock.
Miss Flora Mason, as Portia, with great
skill led Shylock on to that point where he
was commanded to take his pound of flesh.
Miss Mary Reed as Clerk and Miss Sarah
Wheeler as Nerissa did their parts well.
Miss Helen Crawford with the apparent
self-confidence of a Booth or Barrett dis
played the cold, heartless, revengeful char
acter and conduct of 8hriock and held the
audience with all attention to the very last.
Mrs Pollock deserves great credit for the
thoroughness of culture of her class.
Better Coaatry.
The Democrat has received H H War
ner's speech upon the organization of the
Rochester, N. V ., Chamber of Commerce.
It attracts the local editors attention simply
because that city was once his residence ;
and because Mr Warner, the patent medi
cine man, puts more money In our pockets
in a year than many of our own business
men.' The speech is a good one, and
Rochester is a good city, larger than
Albany, having a population of 130,000 ;
but we advise Mr Warner, and Messrs.
Kimball, Upton, Vick, Barry, etc., if they
would like to reside in a city with great ad
vantages, with a good a society as Roches
ter possesses, surrounded by a magnificent
country, and being blessed by a climate be
side which that of Rochester sinks as low
as a gas well, to come to Albany, Or.,
which they will find at the Junction of the
O A- C R R and W V St C R R in the
beautiful Valley of the Willamette, where
we are eternally kissed by the suns reflect
ing rays from Hood, Jefferson, and the
Three Sisters, and prosperity and boom are
crowning our lives with glory.
The New Harne Firm.
The new and enterprising harness firm of
Thompson St Overman has on hands the
finest lot of harness ever displayed in Al
bany, and we predict for them a lively trade
this coming season. People who trade with
this firm will get the best of goods and will
be well treated. Their stock of single har
ness, which is second to none in the Slate,
consists of the latest styles and best quality,
a well as prices to meet the times. Their
heavy farm and team harness Is made of

ness and saddles or anything else in the
line.
