At tho Baptist church last night a spir ited contest for tho Dotuorest prohibition silver medal was had by Hatlio Van Order, Maud Annis, Louis Eccleston, Clydo Faulkner and Edith Iiuckner. Tho prize awarded to Claude Faulkner. Each did wellexcellently well, but as there was only one prize to be awarded only ono of courso, "could get it. So it was awarded, perhaps, to the right one, but it doubtless called into consideration points of elocution which only adepts in tho art could understand. The pieces rendored wero so different in style of composition as to require, in some, a wider rungo of rhetorical powors than in others, and thus called out more of a demoustrativo action in gestures and force of voice and variety iu ezpreesion. For a true test each ought to recito the SAine pieco or one of a like stylo of com position. In the pieces recited, while of a kindred subject, the style cf construc tion was vory unlike; that is, while ono was grave and serious another was lively, requiring a high, a low, a ijtiick and a slow movement of the voice with corres ponding gestures; another requiring nioro of a monotonous tone and few ges tures, would appear railier tamo to the common observer, while the ono requir ing a wider rango of voice and more gesticulation would Bee in the Utter, though the lamer would lie faultless. Upon the whole these youu people did nobly and were worthy of great praise for their almost faultless It-clumalionn. The judges were E. D. Stratford, Dr. Myra Brown and F. W. tiusou. After the award was declared Aliaa A mala Smith made I by presentation speech. It was brief but nicely done and was duly applauded. The W. C. T. U. havo con tests for the Demorest prohibition medal eyery three months. Mm. E. E. Richards read a choice selection in her usually good style. Master Kobert Buckner recited a piece to the delight of all. A good sized audi ence waB in .attendance and seemed to enjoy the exercises throughout. The Fruitgrowers. Salem, Sept. 12. According to tho es timates of G. I. Sargent, secretary of the board of horticulture, there are 505.000 acres of pit and core fruit in the state, an.I 1500 acres of the berry variety. Of the former estimate, 33,000 acres are to prunes. Mr. Sargent has estimated the yield of orchards under his observation, and feels warranted in making the state ment that at ledrock prices prune-raising is a profitable industry in Oregon. R. P. Meyers, of Jefferson, has 23 acres of prunes. The trees are seven years old, and the orchard promises an average yield. Mr. Meyers estimates the Lyieldat from $0,000 to 100,000 pounds anea. too cash pnee bcinc ottered for dried prunes is from 4 cents to 5 cents. From the lowest estimate, SO.OOO jwinds, and at 4 14 cents per pound, the income from this orchard will bo $3400, or a lit tle more than $147 per acre. The cost of evaporating, at 1 cent ier pound, will be about $33 per acre. Allowing $17 for sprayios, cultivating, etc., leaves a net income of $100 per acre. Secretary Sar gent considers this a conservative esti mate. Good Time riade. Kiit-inPor C.ILSPV nf tlio Salon, "fun. non Ball" is ono of tliR Iml pni-inwira nn the road.

Kiretchjian, general secretary of tho Armenian Relief Association, from Mrs. Marian Haroyan, a well-connected Armenian lady, from a city of Upper Armenia, concerning the security of Armenians in the cities as compared with the villages. She said : "Our condition could not bo described in words security is uo word to use. Wo havo no hope or resource loft, every thing seems doomed, and if relief does not cotno after all this disaster, the evil that will result will bo something that cannot be conceived. Arreets, impris onments, tortures, are what occur eyery day. They search tho houses, of course, freely, but what docs that mean? The oflicialA.will come into our houses when ever they please, overturn everthing with the declaration that they are seeking for arms or other suspicious material, but in their search they pocket whatover they pleaso of jewelry or valuables. To whom can we utter a word of complaint? "Aside from tho tortures in prison they tako young and old to the government mansion every day, and night after night, and pat them through horrible tortures. Tho family of ,S . 1) ., who lives close to the mansion, said they could no longer bear to hear the unearth ly groans and hideous noises they hod been hearing for days and weeke, as their souls wero iaiut. "There was G , of our quarter, a tine young man. He was taken theio and tortured for some unknown suspi cion, his limbs were stretched wilh ropes tied to them, theu they put a strap looped around his neck and hanged him uutil he was almost dead. Then they tor tured him and hanged him again, keeping him all the time just alive euough to feel the awful agony. Think of the life of the faithers aud mothers living in this miserable land! This is how our best eople are perishing. "The people have no means, or cour- oge, even, to possess arms, when even the suspicion of it brings such destruc tion upon whole families, eo that they are not able to delend themselves against thieves aud robbers. Some who have had arms that could serve for pro tection in traveling, buried them in the earth for fear of being discovered, thus making them unless. As there is a God, help must come to put an end to this horrible destruction of our people by elow death, but the souls of the people are fainting in them when they can neither speak nor act to seek deliverance, but must silently see the torture and ueath of their kindred, who suffer unut terable agonies." Steamer on Fire at Sea. -'Loxuo.N7Sept.lG. Fire broke1' on lon the steamer Iona, from Edinburgh to London. The flames spread with so modi rapidity that before aid reached the vessel six passeucers and the stew ardess of the Iona were burned to death. The fire was put out after four hour's struggle. The lire broke out when the Iona was j offCiackton, in the fore part of the ves sel. The passengers were aroused, and I it was supposed all had escaped from the i . onrning cauin. v tiiio mu crew were fighting the (lames, soldiers on board assisted in lowering the boats and sup plying the passengers with life belts. There was no wind and the sea was per fectly 6mooth. There was, however, some excitement and ixufutiou among the passengers when it was discovered that some women and children were j miestug. ihe stewardess re entered the I burning cabin to try to rescue them and i she also perished. Tho darkness and smoko issuing from the burning cabin combined to make it a terrible scene. It was not until three compartments were burned tbat'it became possible to enter the cabin wliere were discovered the charred remaius of six women and ono child. Then the engines wero start ed up again and tho vessel proceeded on her way to Loudon. There are various rumor as to the origin ot the lire, borne passengers alleged that male passengers acted in a cowardly manner, seeking first thoir own alety instead of assisting the women and children into the boats. Messages From the Dead. New Yokk, Sept. 10. A special to the Herald from Vancouver, B. C, says: Advices received by tho Australian steamer Miowera says that the bodies of the victims of the Eldorado mine disaster havo been recovered after two weeks' burial. The men were working in McAver's mino when the baukiugmade to keep otf the river gave way, tilling tho outlot of the mine. They wero imprisoned al most within hearing of their re6cuerp. It took exactly 14 days to reach the dying men, and in that timo all were be yond the need of assistance. Evidences of the terrible sufferings of the poor fellows iu their last moments wero most heartrending. Believing that they would be eventually reached by the would-bo rescuers, but knowing then that it would bo too late, tho men evi dently held an auto niortem council, for most of them wrote letters to friends and relatives from their living grave, aud there were evidences of solemn inter course before death ended their terrible sufferings. All but one of tho men were found in a naturally formed chamber, lying side by side quietly, as if sleeping. They wore peaceful expressions and must, before death, have been lulled to bleep by gen erated gas. By letters left they had, however, been in conversation together for 24 hours atler thoir fearful imprison ment. The following is one of tho letters, verbatim, of a vie im, written iu peucil : "I am getting faint, no air. God pro tect me for tho nako of my poor children aud wifo. Lizzie, look after them and bring them up good. Tho money I have iu my box iu tho bank iB to bo divided among tho little ones. Mako tho best of what I havo saved. God bo with them. Kiss them for father's sako. I forgive my enemies. Love to all that are dear to me. Goodby, my dearest children." Chables SIawklv. The messages were written in the dark, and it look six hours to decipher them. It was Won by the Americans. l'ntLADELi'niA, Sept. 16. Tho inter national cricket match between the Ox ford and Cambridge, past and present, and the university of Pennsylvania, past and present, teams, which began Friday, was finished this afternoon, and was won by the American team by 100 runs. In tho first innings the visitors piled up 284 runs, and as the home eleven made but 133, things looked decidedly blue. In the second innings, however, the Americans put together 307 runs, giving them a lead of 161 tuns. The visitors could not gauge tho swift blowing of Patterson and E. W. Clark in the second innings, aud made but 61 runs. BREVITIIES. From Tuesday's Paily. G. W. Wannocott of Myrtle Creek was doing business here yesterday.

Her father was a merchant bold Who o'er tho wild Blacayan water Still Drought back tho good red gold To richly dower his only daughter. Radiant sho as rose on treo; But, though full many a gallant sought her, Noi no, no 1 on all their woe Frowned back tho merchant's daughter. Until, effulgent from tho fight That shook tho shores from Franca to Flanders, Shone upon her patriot sight The klngllest of our sea commanders, Looked her through, and from her flew Vanished smiling, on the morrow. Ah I but she her laughing glee Forsook for sighing sorrow. "Fair blows tho wind; the skies are Hue. Wilt sail with me, my 'winsome daugh ter?" 'That -will II Dear friends, adieu!" And o'er the wave her sire has caught her. South-ward far, by sun and star. Els good ship fleets tho ocean over. When, alack t across her track There strikes a Saleo rover. Bat as the pirate pressed them sore, And deck and hold ran red with slaugh ter. Sudden round the headland hoar A noble warship sweeps the water. Heavens afcovel 'tis her true love That hath this great dellv'rance wrought her. Grief, farewell I wake, marriage bell. For our West merchant's daughter I Alfred Perceval Grave3 In Athenaeum. AN ELEPHANT'S TENDER CARE. When Left to Watch Children He WW. Faithfully Protect Them. Tho whole family of the mahout be come, as it were, parasites to the ele phant, by whom they earn their living. l nave seen a baby placed by its mother systematically under the elephant's care and within reach of its trunk, while the mother went to fetch water or to jret wood or material to cook the family dinner. JSo jackal or wolf would be likely to pick up and carry off a bahr who was thus confided to tho care of an elephant, but most people who have lived a life in the jungle know how -very pos sible it is for a jackal or wolf to carry oft a baby when lying in a hntwhen the mother's back is turned. The children thus brought up in the companionship of an elephant become familiar with Mm and take all kinds of liberties with him, which the elephant seems to endure on the principle that it does not hurt Mm, while it amuses the child. You see a little naked black child about 2 feet high standing on the ele phant's bare back and taking it down to the water to bathe, shouting all the time in the most -unbecoming terms of native abusive language. On, arriving at the water the elephant, ostensibly in obedience to the child's command, lies down and enjoys him self, just leaving apart of his body, like a small island, above the water, on which the small child stands and yells and yells all the more if ho has Eeveral companions of his own age, also in charge of their elephants, all wallowing in tno water around him. If the child slips off his island, tho elephant's trout-promptly- replaces 'film' in' safety.-4.The1 little -rrrchins as they grow np become first mates to mahouts and eventually arrive at the dignity of being mahouts themselves. Omaha World-Herald. An ElectroOIagnetic Cannon. This recent invention is dependent for its action upon the principle of the force of attraction and repulsion as caused by magnetism. A bras3 rube, 5 feet long, inches in diameter and 1 inch bore, was wrapped with insulated wire along its entire length, tho current flowing tnrough different sections of the wind ings In such a manner as to cause the bullets to become temporary magnets, which were attracted by the magnetic lines of force ahead of them and repelled by those behind them, thus giving the projectiles an increasing impetus as they pass along the gun. The bullets are thrown forward in much the same man ner as the armature of an electric motor is turned on its axis. Tho cannon is light, inexpensive, and its capacity for throwing projectiles depends on the ra pidity of loading the same. It is esti mated, that a five foot gun, requiring 600 volts and 100 amperes, will throw a one pound ball 1,000 feet, with a strik ing velocity of 100 pounds. Boston Journal of Commerce. Got What She Asked For. She was buying a trunk. "I want one," she said, "that cannot be opened by tho regulation trunk key that everybody uses." "All right, " said tho. dealer. "I will see that you havo one." Tho next day the trunk was sent home, and a few hours later the nur- chaser appeared at tho trunk store. "I told you," she said, "that I want ed a trunk that could not be opened by the regulation trunk key." "That's what I sent you." "Why, any trunk key in tho house will unlock that trunk." "You said the regulation trunk key. Havo you tried a hairpinr" Then sho went homo and wept when sho found that sho couldn't unlock that trunk with a hairpin. Detroit Free Press. William Morris. William Slorris, tho English poet, re joices in the possession of a prodigious memory. Given a fair start on any sen tence in Dickens' works, he will com plete that sentence with very little de viation from textural accuracy. Were every copy of "Pickwick Papers" de stroyed today William Morris could write the book almost word for word as it now stands. Greenland was so called because in summer its hills wero covered with a beautiful green moss. Paganini looked like a caricature of a man, so thin was he, with every feature exaggerated. Haydn had n long nose, an almost in variable peculiarity of genius. Buckram was at first any sort of olothi stiffened with pnm. The Square Deal Store.
