It.was the first time she had ever trav eled alone and all the family'camo down to see her off. "Now, Pheeb," said her.father, as ho helped her on,"dont lefany of them young fellers come foolin' ronn'; mind what me an' your mother has alius told you, an' don't have notliin' to say to strangers." "I "won't, iather," chirruped 'Phoebe. Where's the box wifh my best hat? i the bag jhthe .dried raspberries 'Jim's wi&VIW-'the" kitten?

Take keer of Kitty, an' be sure an' "Good-bje, Pheeb I Don't make no 'quaintanccs with ennybody. As your gran'father used to say, 'The Lord helps them as helps themselves.' " There was a lot of them brothers, sisters and consins who watched us un til the train and "Pheeb" were out of sight. Then the young traveler settled down to business. And we all watched her, for she was a very pretty girl- First, she heaped all her thing3 in the seat facing her. Then she concluded to put some of them in the bracket above. "Allow me," said the spruce traveling man with a mashing smile. "Thank yon," said Miss Phoebe, cool ly, "it's kind of inconricnt going any where alone." "Going far?" asked the traveling man as he eat down, and we all glanced at him with envy. "Only to visit my brother Jim in New ton Centre. I get there after dark, though, and am awfully afraid they won't meet me." "I'm going that way myself," hazard ed the untruthful traveling man. "Why, how nice! I wouldn't be a bit afraid of you."

We all started to hunt the wicked kit ten, while the excited mistress pulled the bell-cord and stopped the train. Whi-n peace was restored and four traveling men had returned the kitten to its owner.the conductor seated himself by Miss Phcebe lo explain that a passenger must never, under any circumstances, touch the bell-cord. Meanwhile all the onerous duties of answering questions and reassuring frightened old women devolved on the brakeman. Then the boy with peanuts came in and she Enared him into getting some milk for the kitty from the restaurant car. The book fiend dropped an armful of burning no els into the seat at last left vacant by the conductor. "Have you 'How He Won Her, or Love On a Rail-car?" she asked sweetly. ne sat down to explain that he was just out of that, but had "Divorced at Sight, or a Romance of Chicago." Then the only man in the car who had not been down on his knees, a cold, haughty, soulless man, with, a cynical sneeer, opened his valise and handed her "How He Won Her." When the train reached Newton Cen tre the young lady left it, followed by a meek and submissive crowd. The con ductor carried the cat. The brakeman had the sachel. The rest of her luggage was apportioned to tne male passengers, each of whom received1 a sweet smilcf,and aconjial "good-bye" as brother Jim hove sigllt, to claim his fair relative. As, we scrambled back to our train we heard Jim ask; 'IHow in the world, Pheeb, ftdid you get along with all those- traps?"

Tlie Evening Telegram contains an interview with a merchant on the fruit question, in which the latter says: "All reports received by us from the interior agree that tho fruit crop in Oregon is very short this year. Prices are well up now, and will not re cede a particle. All firms have advanc ed the price of dried apples to 11 J cents per pound, ine market is almost en tirely bare of Oregon dried fruits, and most of the offerings come from Califor nia. Oalifornia has sent most of her canned fruits to the East, and is liable to run short. Had we not made contracts some tune ago we should be unable to get a can of fruit. Eastern buyers took small fruit this season more freely than ever before, and cared little about, the prices they were charged. In fact, the demand has been beyond expectations and is unchecked even by higher prices. California canners were never more act ively engaged than now. The question of labor is a perplexing one "they being nnable to secure enough hands. All sorts are in demand, except Bartfett :pears' v h mmmmmmmimm ANOTHER HOLOCAUST. A Theater Darned. Losdon, Sept. 5. A theater at Exeter took fire this evening," during the per formance of "Romany Re." The. occu pants of the pit, in an awful struggle, es caped, but many of them were greatly injured. There was only one exit from the gallery, and the crush there was ter rific. Scores were trodden under fool and suffocated. A fire escape was brought to a windowand mani-insiil-se- cuijl. Sixty corpses liavo beeh removed The mortality is cstimatedat 100. AN AWFUL SCENE. j-iThe fire blazed fiercely, lighting up the whole city. People were soon flocking to the sceno in thousands, inquiring for friends. ThejBceno inside the theater when tho fire broke out was an awful one. Some men implored the audience to be calm, but it was impossible to check the frantic rush. The theater hose was brought in to play in a few minutes, but water had little effect on the flames. Tho actors and actresses were taken from the windows, with the aid of the ladders. They lost everything except what they wore at the time. Up to the present time 1C0 bodies have been recov ered. They aro almost unrecognizable. Thirty injured survivors have been taken to tho hospital. The fire burned throughout" the night. The search for bodies proceeds slowly. In many cases every shred of clothing is burned off, and'tho bodies look black and raw. OltlOIX OF THE FIRE. There are various reports as to the ori gin of the fire. It is only certain that flames broke out in tho scene shifter's department. Those who,, escaped say that the special exit was properly open ed. The firoTirigade arrived fi e minutes after the breaking out of tho flames, but the efforts of the firemen were without ef fect. There were Beveral thrilling res cues. A majority of the victims were men and boys. About thirty women were burned. When the fire started the drop scene was lowered to prevent draughts. Some of the actors opened a door to escape, causing fire to burst through the drop scene and ignite tho gallery. The flames overtook the people, who were wedged in an immovable mass, and roasteu them to ;3eat(i. Many who were rescued alive died soon after being brought out of the burning building. Tho occupants of the dress circle escaped with out serious harm. UNDER CONTROL. Sept. C A telegram from Exeter at 5 o'clock this morninglsays that the fire is under control. The people, distracted with anxiety, are standing about the streets in the neighborhood of the thea ter, in search of friends who attended last night's performance. The hospitals are besieged by anxious inquirers for friends. Twenty badly bumed persons who were admitted to the hospitals died a few min utes after they were received. THE BURSED BUILDING. London, Sep.. G. The structure burned was. the Theater Royal. It was built af ter the latest designs, and waselabo. rately finished, being considered one of the prettiest in the kingdom. There was a full house to-night and everything was all right until tho end of tho third act at half-past ten when tho drop scene fell and in a moment tho whole stage was a mass of fire. A wild panic ensued. The occupants of the stall, pit and dress circle escaped, after a dreadful crushing, many being badly bruised. The actors and actresses were in their dressing rooms when the fire began, and all es caped. The fire originated in the flues and spread rapidly, filling the theater with dense smoke. The occupants of the upper circle and gallery rushed to the windows, screaming frantically. Many jumped from the windows and were in jured. Others were rescued with the aid of ladders from the verandas. The Town Clerk of Salem, I1L, claims to6wna rooster with such an ear for music that when the young lady of tho house sits dow.n toTIie piano, the bfrd hurries, mounts the instrument, and pounds the keys with his feet. Chicago ia not to be fowled-out with intelligence in this regard. A South-side gentleman who lives near a chicken-house, says that all the neighbors who wish to arise early leave a call with the rooster. The said rooster opens for business about 5 a. m. and never neglects a customer. The only complaint comes from hose who do not leave calls. Chicago Inter-Ocean.

There aro a great many queer wayB criminal and otherwise by which men , earn a living, but perhaps there is nono more peculiar than that adopted by thW alleged Dr. Grant of Boston. His profes sion is that of marrying unsuspecting; fe males. His motives aro purely pecuni ary, and if ho can securer the money ho is, after in tho course of his engagement to Jy Trwrrlnil lif. .. ilJrBpJid hia"vtctlms'""the ceremony itself. This fs quite a consola tion to them when they- understand Nthd situation, and shows him to be a manNof some feeling. In the course T( business during tho last two years the doctor hasjlound it necessary to marry five women. Numer ous others he has simply caused to ar rivo at a state of preparation for the altar1 before re-i'izinj on thia speculation1. New York and Brooklyn have been in cluded in his field of operations, and ho did a fairly good business in tho minor summer resorts. As ho was not embar rassed by any reference to tho personal appearance of those with whom ho dealt, he found, in many casci, no competition 1 Ho fell, as many a shrewd man has fall en, from having too many irons in the fire. But the doctor's record drop3 far behind that of a Mr. Morton, of New Haven.whd some years ago was bankrupted in the same business. Morton had a real wife" w hom, as w ell as his children, he thought much of. He supported these dear ones' and brought them homo many valuable: presents besides, by systematically en gaging himself to and, where necessary, marrying such women as ho deemed fl' nancially productive. Pending the pro ceedings which sent him to tho Virginia state prison it was ascertained that ho had at least thirteen wives, with a larga number of counties to hear from. There is a suggestion contained here as to tho advisability of women requiring satisfac tory references when contemplating mar riage on short acquaintance. And per hsps there is also food for reflection, int the premises, on tho ease with which the average woman is captured. An. ExcrriNo Roadsters' Rce. God ' C.Sears went with his family to Scattlotd spend the summer months, and took his1 buggy horso Baby with hrtn. The Seat tle horsemen hearing that the horso was called one among the fastest buggy horsed in Portland, concluded to have a trial of sliced with him and the Seattlo buggy horses. So a race was arranged to admit any buggy horse in King county and Mr. Sears's horso for a race, mile -heats, best three in five, for a purse of $100. The race came off last Saturday at thd Seattle race track, and about 1500 peopld attended tho races, and betting ran high, the pools selling: $20,first choice, on Aus- . tin's black-horse, $10 on Pago's bay horso and $1.50 Sear's horso. The first heat' was won by the Page horse; timo, 3:03. Second heat was taken by the same horso ) time 2 :56Ki which mado him a Jhot favorite in tho pools. The third heat was taken by gear's horse, Pago's horse second and Austin's horso distanced; ' time, 2:57. Tho Page boise was still sold ' favorite in tho pools. The.next heat was1 won by Sear's horse; timo, 2:56. Each horse having now taken two heats' the excitement ran high, and betting in tho pools changed to even on' each horso. The third and final heat was won by Sear's horse; timo, 2:53, which gavo hha the race and the putBo, rind won for his backers about $2000. The time mado in tho lost heat, Consid ering that tho track is a half mile track with quite short turns, and very heavy from the rains of the day before, and tho track 08 feet over a mile in length, show ed that Sear's Baby is well ablo to sus tain tho reputation of the Portland road-' sters in the Sound country.
