Company Friday evening to a large and en. thuslastlc sudlence. The cavt was a good one and the parts were well sutalneJ,oine displacing fine drsmatlc talent in their representation of their characters, George Flth particularly filling the part of Doller clutch In good shape. There Is this to be said about amateur plays. The funny parts si wsj s take the best, whereas, as In this case, other parts are performed with equa ability, It was really a well balanced cast, there being no drawbacks In It at all. T L Wallace, in a fine makeup, "took" the part ot Morris Maltland, a stern, set old puritan of the days of the rebellion i Tho J Over man, Reginald Malt'and, his son, and the hero ot the play ; R U Vunk, Henry Low. ville, the genius of the plsy ; Mr Beemef, Rstph Mardell, the villain ; S W Reece, Col, Morrcll, in command.

Do not tall to go. It's History. A recorded : Valen tine's dsy, the 14th of February, observed In co.omemoratlon of St. Valentin us, a bishop or presbyter, who was dccspltaled In 370 A. D., during the Claudlan persecu tion at Rome. The custom of sending vslcntlncs, (sentimental or comic love messages often in ryhme, and adorned with ornamental or grotesque devices,) is a very ancient one. Seme tell us thst on this day the birds select their mates J ethers trace the custom to the Roman Lupercalla (Feb. 15,) when similar practices wete ob served. Trsces of the custom hare been delected among the observsnces of the Northern pagan of ancient Europe.llence i. is probsble the traddion that sw-ilbct Its origin to a commemoration of the loving and charitable disposition of St Valentine Is a comparatively late invention. A Gkmvine Anarchist. "George Sin clalr, the old fellow that left Oregon City for Portland just before the smalipos broke out on him, and died at the pest house sub sequently, was an anarchist ot the most rapidtype. Me wore a badge on his vest on which was, on one aide, a large S for Socialism j on the reverse side the words, Blood and Fire,' a crown, and underneath what appeared to be a hangman'a rope, lie talked wierdly to his nurse and physi cian of the coming millcnlum of Bedlam." Courier. K. or P. Blowout. Thursday night the Knights ot 1'ythtas in this city had quite a time in advancing members in the "work" of that order. Quite a number ot visitors were present from Corvallls and other points. After the adjournment a supper was partaken of at the HI. Charles, where the palatable viand of that house were properly stored away by the stalwart members of the order present. LiBANOx.-Mr. John E Durand, repre senting Davis & Rankin, contractors and builders of creameries and cheese factor ies, is now in Lebinon for the purpose of organizing a company tor this business. A large portion of this stock Is already subscribed and we hope the balance will be taken at once. ...Mr. W C Hindman, of Baker Citv, is on a visit to his brother, S W Hindman, of this place. He is a large stockman, and one ot the early set tlers of Oregon. Exfreu. Jack Horner. In referring to our Item about Lawyer Walters, alias I P Horn er, the Umpqua Herald, of Roscburg, says: "The students at the public school will recognize this fellow. He visited the school and masqueraded as a retired school teacher while in Roeburg." What object little Jack Horner can have in going through the country acting the hypocrite generally is beyond our conception. Rome dsy he'll be kicked into a corner and won't have even plum pie to eat. Coming Tfiia Way. There is headed this way, from California, one of the most bare-faced swindlers of the age. He has In his overcoat pocket a few bunches of iampwicks, colored a light bluish tint which he claims possess a chemical prop erty that when placed in a coal oil lamp will cause a brilliant light and kcp the oil from consuming. He claim that, with one of the wicks placed in the lamp the oil will not burn out for ix months. All heatks fortl.e wick U 35 cent. Of course they are a fraud Will Takb Bricks. In addition to the Cranor property on First Street, the deed for w hich has been filed, Mr. E. F Sox la alio purchased fifty feet on Second Street, just in the rear of the Cranor property. A two story brick will be erected on First Street and a brick warehouse on Second Street, which will give room for oneof the finest hardware a nd agricultural Implement houses in the valley. Will Go Again. Louis White, the man who cashed the dago's . check and skipped with the money, was held by Jus tice Humphrey under $500 bonds to await the action of the grand jury. The waiting will be done In jail. White was in the pen itentiary several years ago for eighteen months, being sent irom issuer county tor several offences, not, though for gambling, as he asserted. Narrow Escape. Thursday as an O P train was coming into the city two sills in the trestle work on the opposite side of the river broke, but the train came on safely into the city, A man chopping wood saw the sills break and informed a railroad man. The break is belnc repaired to-dav The engine was a small one. It is thought a No 3 would nave gone through. . Filed. The plat for Elklns addition to Albany is now on file.' It includes ten blocks, of the regular size, located in two tiers, west of Ferry and Washington streets. The blocks beginning at Maston ana Chamberlain's addition are divided by the following streets: Spruce, Pine, Harrison, Hale, Millard and Elklns, Hits us Back The Albany Democrat says Eugene is building ice works on pa per.

Children Cry for THE HAW ABOUT TOWN J i ; STAT LEGISLATURE, I OUtt HEW NAVV, It Is only a question ot time and not a long time, cither, the M. A. T. predicts, when the Natrow Gauge will run into Al bany. A direct connection with 8odavllle by rail is also something that is bound to take place within no great length ot time. Certsin thing are developing that Indicate both of these. They mesn considerably for the cltv. To-day Marshal Hoffman appeared in full uniform, military hat, blue suit and brats buttons, and the Night watchmen will soon be in a like ornamental condition. The appearance presented Is a fine one, an honor to enterprising Albany. BO We suggest now that the Oregon Pacific do likewise. Conductor Kennedy, tor in stance, a fine looking man, would fairly beam trapped up l.n regulation uniform like our Marshal. It Is all right to be practical In this world t but a lawn all chicken weeds and Canada thistles is not as attractive as the one sown to timothy or clover and closely clipped. School Not Subfekdrd Yet. The following In a Portland paper, the big one, Is quite cute. Our little Item about Mrs. W. hak had a big run among the papers. It was not a remarkably serious affair, but It attracted attention. Our schools con tinue to run,' without Mrs. W. who Is now attending to her domestic duties : "Mrs. lm VVestfall is Chinese woman who may not feel able to keep a private tutor and may possibly and naturally like the society of American youth. She wants to Improve her mind, and Jim Westfatl, a No. 1 China man, who dwells at Albany, wants his wife's mind improved. So every week day morning Mrs. Jim gracefully waddles to the public school and tries to be a scholar. Thereupon the blue blood of Albany runs riot In the veins of Its first citizens. They are Americans of high degree, and here Is a China woman who has almond shaped eyes and black hair and a tawny olive com plexion who claims a seat In the school room. She is 33 years of age, which Is over school age, and they have objections to her they don't care to name. Some say they wilt take their little ones out of the school, and the Democrat presents the case and asks the authorities to consider. Surely the school directors of the city ot Albany, the coming railroad center of upper Willam ette will consider." We confidently e. pect to learn that one of two things has occurred thatfrs. Jim Westfall or the public school she attend ha "suspended." We hope tha school will not suspend." B. and L. Association. A meeting of the stockholders of the Albany Building and Loan Association was held at the store of Stewart & Sox last Friday L HMon tany e was elected chairman pro tern, II Bry ant secretary, and W8 Thompson assistant secretary. The constitution and by-laws were read and adopted, the provision of which are too many fur present publica tion. Monthly meetings will be held the third Friday evening at the slnce of the secretary. The following directors were elected: It Bryant, W O Casselt, Geo E Chamberlain. Dr J P Wallace, W S Thompson, Geo Kesney, G W Hochsted ler, CH Stewart and FP Nutting. Aud itors elected: J L Cowan, E F Cox and E W Langdon. The board of directors will meet at the office of Hewitt, Bryant Sc Irvine on Monday evening and elect of ficers. Halsey Election.

About midnight Thursday a policeman was requested to go toihe house of Edward Robertson and ar rest Jas Pittsford, who was taking It by ttorm. Pittsford was arrested, placed in the caliboose, and afterwards discharged,as no one appeared against him. It aeems that he hat.1 been stopping there, and.golng home intoxicaleJ.was rather hilarious with his fUU, etc., or something to thst effect. Mr Pittsford will be remembered as one of Mr. Ad.

It will pass the Senate ; but will there be time to wait far the veto and getlt through over his head this session Is the question. The bills to relocate raunty teats of Polk and Gilliam counties passed In the Senate. Numerous committee reports were pre sented and bids ordered engrossed.

The soliciting committee for the woolen mill subsidy have succeeded in raising over S 10,000, half of the required amount. It is a big job to undertake to raise a bonu of jo,ooo. While the factory might be worth vastly more to the cttv, still there are many who object to proceeding In the manner. The end of the session is very near and It can al.-eady be seen that the product of the forty days' work will be the enactment of but very desirable laws. Ths greater questions win go over until another term, wane tne legion 01 minor appropriation bills and local measures will be disposed of. It is a pity the fUtteries. assessment and some few of the other Important ques tion could not be settled. A FINK PIANC The elegant piano used at the Heine concert last evening attracted great atten tion, not only on It appearance, but as well iu fine tone. Mr. Heine compliment ed it remarking that they had been able to play numbers, often omitted, on account of their having good piano. After the entertainment Mr. Heine voluntarily pre tented Mr. G L Blackman, the agent of the piano, with the following testimonial: Albany, Feb. 13, 1889. Mr. G. L. Blackman, Dear Sir : Having thoroughly exam ined the beautiful Sterling piano furnished 1 or use at our entertainment at the opera huute this evening, if affords me much pleasure to say that I consider it one of the best pianos upon which I have ever played. The purity of tone and excel lence of finish makes It, in my estimation, a superior instrument, not excelled by any of the best pianos In use in this country. Yours iruiy, Ada Heine. Heine Company.

Jerrold Kelly of the U, S. Navy has written a highly Interest ing article en the subject of our navy.from which we make the following extract 1 For the new navy there are afloat, build ing, or authorized to be bullt,nlne armored and twenty-two unarmored vessels ; and these twenty-two are the direct produc tions of this administration. In the armor ed class are Included one tteel battle ship, the Texat two tteel cruisers, tbe Maine, and one yet unnamed ; five Iron monitors, the Puritan, Terror, Mlantonomoh, Am phltrlte and Monadnock j and one tteel coast defender of the latest type. In the unarmored class, all steel, are eleyen pro tected cruisers the Boston, Atlanta, Chi cago, Charleston, Baltimore, Newark, Phil adelphia, San Francisco, and three others yet unnamed ; five cruisers the Concord, Bennington, and three others ; two gun boats the Yorktown and Petrel one practice cruiser, one despatch vessel, the Dolphin, one dynamite cruiser, the Vesu vius, and one first-class torpedo beat. ; , The Texas, for example, Is a battle ship of 6300 tons displacement at a mean draught of 31 feet 5 Inches. A belt of 13 Inch tteel armor extends along the water tine In the wake of the englnes,b6llers,and msgszines, and Is joined at each end by a transverse V-shaped bulkhead sis Inches thick. An armored redoubt runt diag onally acrost the ma!n-deck,enctos!ng the batjt ot two turrett which are placed on opposite sides, the port one forward, the starboard aft ; the redoubt,turrett and con ning tower are protected by tteel armor twelve Inchet thick. Throughout the ship extends a thick protective deck of steel. The main battery contistt of two 13-lnch breech-loading rifles, one In each turret, and of six 6-Inch breech-loading rifles ; there Is a powerful secondary bat tery of rapid fire and machine guns, and four torpedo launching tubes. Two triple expansion engines drive twin screws, and are expected to develop, with forced draft 8000 horse-power and a speed of 17 knots ; the total coal capacity, 9soton,wlll give a coal endurance of 8591 miles at 10 knots Some discrepancies have been discovered between the original plans and the work ing drawings submitted by Mr. John, her deslgner,and it ft proposed to make definite changes. The armored cruiser Mslne.now building at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn, displaces 664S ton at il feet S inches mean draught. A steel armor belt eleven Inches thick at the water line and 180 feet long covert the vitals, Its ends being joined by a transverse bulkhead six inches thick. As In the Tex as, a protective deck covers the whole ship, curving forward Into a ram and dipping aft to protect the steering gear. The arma ment consists of four 10-inch breech load - Ing rifles, pair mounted in the echeloned turrets ; of six 6-inch breech loading rifles, and of a powerful secondary battery, and seven torpedo tubes. The total coal capa city is 8S3 tons, and the vertical triple ex pansion engines wilt drive twin screws and deyelop 8750 horse power and 17 knots. At 10 knots the coal endurance will be 7000 miles. The Puritan If of 6oo tons,and the other monitors of 3S15 tons displacement ; the former has upon the tldet 13 Inchcs.the latter 7, and all carry n) Indies on the turrets ; this armor Is compound iron steel faced. Each vessel will carry two to Inch breech loading rifles in each turret and good secondary batteries. The new coast defence ship Is of 4000 tons displace ment, has 16 inchet of tteel armor on her sides and turveta.and 14 Inches on the bar bettes. I Ier armament is composed of one 16-inch and one 1 3-Inch breech loading rlfle.one 15 Inch dynamite gup.and a secon dary bsttery.whlch include sis 33-pounder rapid fire guns. . The unarmored class tnsy be roughly divided into tour classes: 1st, the protected cruisers; 3d, the cruisers; 3d,th gnn-boatt; 4th, the auxikar ie this last embracing the dynamite cruiser despatch vessel. , and torpedo-boat. The Chicaco. Boston, and Atlanta are already wel known, for, with the Dolphin, they were tb - c outcomes of the report made by the first Ad. visory Board in t88l. They were authorized in 1883, and to far at tested have proved them selves notable additions to our fleet. .They are fast, well-armed, and efficient. In 1S87 th Charleston, Baltimore, and Newark were laid down, and their performances are awaited with keen interest. So far ss intelligent direction an go, they ought to be unsurpassed by any ther ships in the world. The Charleston.lately J launched at San Francisco, is a reproduction of the Japanese Nani-wa-kan, which realized greater speed over the measured mile thsn eve before attained by any craft of her sue or class She is a central superstructured ship of 3700 tons displacement, and is expected to develop 7530 horse-power end 19 knots. Her arm ment consists of two 8-inch breech loading rifles disposed one forward and one aft on the longitu dinal midship line; of six 6-inch breech-loading rifles in broadside, and of a fine secondary bat. tery, and four torpedo tubes. She hat coa protection, minute subdivision below, and a stout protective deck- The Balt more is a high freeboarded vessel, with a long forcastle and poop-deck, and is protected like the Chsrleston The armament U composed of four 8 inch breech loading rifles, mounted, on either side of the poop and forecastle; of six 6-inch breech-loading rifles on broadside and of a secondary battery, and five above water torpedo -discharge tubes. She is of 4400 tons displacement, and her hori zontal triple expansion engines are expected to develop 10,750 horse-power and 17 knots.
