SATURDAY NIGHT'S flEDiTATION
Another busy week is ended: An-
other sir day's work is done, and what
has been accomplished? Have I any-
thine to show that any good has been
ccomplished? Ilavo I made a single
singlo soul happier by a kind word or
generous act? Have I relieved onoeoul
ot a burden ho was struggling to throw
off? Can I lay one hand on my heart
and answer in the affirmative the ques
tion eyer occurring to ' a thoughtful
mind: Have I done ray known duty to
mysell and brother man ; and have I
taken one step on the road of reform,
am I better today after a whole week's
labor than on Monday morning? Did I
speak kindly to Brother Jones, when we
met Tuesday? Did I pour a flood of
benevolent feelings upon the bereft
heart of Neighbor Drown? Ilavo I
taken thought for the morrow? Ah!
have I done any of these things? If I
have I am advancing and the world baft
been beneCttad on my account. But if
not, I havo been negligent, have buried
my talents and idled away my timo,
and am a profitless cumberer of the
moral vinyard.
In taking a retrospectiyo view of the
week's labor I perqeive I have neglected
somo, at least I was too discourteous to
one, too abrupt with another , I wa3 Iod
illiberal with a thirJ. In inv ignorance
incautiously offended a brother asking
for advice. I showed a want of confi
dence in a friend. I gave alms to a needy
soul bnt gave him to understand ho was
under great obligations to rae for my as
sistance.
I innocently but unguardedly told a
friend aspiring to position, that I did not
believo he would succeed. That giieved
him. He' turned away sorrowful. Ho
considered me not his friend. I tried to
correct my mistake by promising to help
him any way I could. But he shook his
head and despondingly sighed, "It is no
use for rac lo try. I thought yon were
my friend, but," and again he heaved a
sigh and walked away, his countenance
fallen. I perceived I had wounded his
feeiings. I was sorry but I saw I had
been too incautious. I had cot flattered
bim. I bad not learned how to mnko a
man happy today when I knew in all
reason ho was on the road to defeat
while entertaining high hope3 of success.
meditated over these things and invol
untarily cried: "I made a brother mis
erable today while entertaining a desire
to avoid a greater misery tomorrow, when
he would, as I foresaw, fail in his pur
pose.
I was forced to the conclusion that it
is best to not always speak your real
thoughts to a friend unless they are in
accord with his wishes. I meditated
over these things and said in my heart,
'Really, what good have I done"? I
bare given pain instead ot pleasure to a
friend. I have lest a friend without
gain to m j self or benefit to him. And )
eatd to myself, verily 1 will never again
dissuade an aspirant for office or from a
scheme for making money. I will bold
my peace. If he is my friend I will vote
tor mm or lend bim money lor specula
tion (if I have it by having good Eccurity
given me) then sell the note at a dis
count and let him and the transferred
creditor fight it ont. These things occu
pied my silent meditations last Saturday
night. Kays.
His Last Plug.
The editor ot the Melbourne, Australia
Speculator is tho Rev. Lorimer Fison, a
Methodist minister, with somo unique
traits ot character, lie edit: tbe p3per
with bis coat and boots off and a big
pipe in his mouth. He says that just
beforo his ordination he was sent for by
the board of examiners.
"Mr. Fison," said ono of the board,
"yonr papers are excellent, but thero la
ono thing wo object to."
Fison asked what it was.
"Yon nro addicted to tho eyil habit of
smoking."
Fison explained that he saw no evil in
it: bat. taking. a large plug from bis
pocket, said:
'In deference to your opinion, gentle
men, I promise you tins: As soon as i
have smoked the plug I hold in my hand
I will cease smoking forever."
They wero satisfied and be was or
dained tbe next day. But, as ho rifills
his pipe, he chuckles and tells you :
"I'yo kept my word, I've got that
very plug yet."
Told by Bob Burdette.
A very homely man I once know had
tho prettiest little daughter in tho coun
ty. One day tho little girl, after looking
at her father for some time, turned to
her mother and asked : "Mamma, did
God make papa?"
"Why, yes, of course," her mother an
swercd.
"And he made me too, didn't he?"
"Yes, dear, certainly."
"Mamma, said the child, after a few
minutes reflection, "God is doing better
work now than ho used to, isn't be?"

tho venturesome epirlt characteristic of
the times, to seek his fortune in the
gold fields of the golden west, ho braved
the dangers and Buffered the hardships
of a voyage across the plains, coming to
California, "but remained only a short
time, when ho returned to tho cast, and
on April 18, 1855, in Leo county, Iowa,
ho was married to Miss Anna L. Slaley,
who survives him to mourn his loss.
In 1S64, when our nation was in the
midst of the civil war, he again sought a
home mid peace in tho far west, and
came to Oregon, eettling in Washington
county, where he lived until 1SG9, when
ha removed to tho beautiful and
fertile Yoncalla valley, where he has
ever since lived, ilia family consisted
of seven children, five daughter?, three

resident of Portland. Mrs. W. T.
Woodsen, Yoncalla, Mrs. L: H. Seige,

Thus closes an eventful, quiet, hu

His life was one of uprightness, his
character was unsullied, his name was
untarnished. Truly his name indicated
the simplicity and innocence of his life.
A. Lamb is emblematical of all that is

TELEGRAPH NEWS
Through Archbishop Ireland.
St. Louis, June 24. It was stated last
night that it was through the influence
of Archbishop Ireland that a plank prc-
bosed by the American Protective Asso
ciation was not adopted as part of tho
platform of the republican national con
vention in this city. The word was
given out that Colonel H. Sellers, pres
ident of the National Council of Patriotic
Associations of tbe United States, was
at work to get a plank into the platform
indorsing the A. P. A. On the very day
Colonel Sellers sent a copy of what he
wanted embodied in tbe platform to Mr.
Foraker, chairman of the committee of
tho committee on resolutions, the follow
ing teleeram was received by Thomas .
Carter, chairman of tho republican na
tional committee, from Archbishop Ire
land: 'St. Paul, June 17. To the Hon.
Thomas N. Carter, National Committee
man The clause in the proposed plat
form opposing the uso cf public money
for sectarian purposes and union of
church and state is unnecessary and un
called-for. It is urged by the A. P. A.
Its adoption will bo taken as a conces
sion to them, will awaken religions ani
mosity in f the country and do ruuih
harm. Tho republican party should not
lower itself to recognize, directly or indi
rectly, the A. P. A. I hope the clause
or anything like it will not bo adopted.
Jon.v Ireland."
Colonul Sellers, in an interview, said
that he gave a copy cf the plank of the
patriotic societies to 31 r. Foraker and
also to Senator Gear, of Iowa. He was
told by the latter that the paragraph de
claring against the appropriation of
money from tbe United States treasury
for sectarian purposes would be incor
porated, and that the commitee had
taken favorable action upon it. Later
iu the day (Wednesday), he was sur
prised to learn from a member of the
ommittee that its action bad been re
considered, and that there would be
nothing in the platform in that regard.
All this is now explained by the tele
gram trom the archuiihop. lho dis

Canadian Elections.
Winnipeg, June 25.' The defeat of the
Tupper government, whose platform was
tbe re-establishment of Catholic paro
chial schools iu Manitoba, has come.
The wildest enthusiasm prevailed in
western Canada, and no such wild
scenes haye ever been witnessed here.
While the liberals were sanguine of elect
ing sufficient members of the Dominion
parliament to block the government
school msasure, they never dared to
hope to completely oust Tapper govern
ment as they have done. The liberals,
for the first time in nearly 20 years, have
won and are overjoyed at Laurier's suc
cess, while conservatives, to whom tne
disaster was altogether unexpected, are
in a dazed condition.
The liberal organ now emphatically
declares that Manitoba's national school
system is absolutely safe from interfer
ence. However, conservatives are quite
as positive that now that Lanrier, who
is a Frenchman and a Roman Catholic,
his come into power, bo will demand
that Catholic schools be restored. There
will be a great deal of anxiety until it is
discovered what Laurier's policy in this
respect will be. All are agreed, how'
ever, that one of his first move3 will be
to treat with Washington for reciprocity
cf trade between Canada and tho states,
and the result of tho liberal victory in
Canada will be fraught with the most
important results to the business inter
ests of Uncle Sam.
Carter Working for Teller.
Chicago, June 24. Senator Thomas
Carter, of Montana, arrived in tho city
yesterday, and left in the evening for
Washington. He held a long consulta
tion with Senator Lee Mantle, which is
said to have dealt with the prospects of
securing an indorsement of Senator Tel
ler's candidacy at the approaching demo
cratic convention. Senator Carter said
in case the democrats put up a man
whom the silver people could conscient
iously support, Senator Teller would
probably withdraw. He declined to S3y
what course ho would follow, remarking
that events would shape that

Senator Lyman Trumbull died at

city. Ho had been ill a long time, but

lapse, however, settled his fate in the
mind of his physicians, and the end has
been expected daily for the past week.
Is of Small Consequence.
Cleveland, June 20. Maifc Hanna
dees not think the silver question is a
matter of great consequence to the work
ingmen and is quoted in an interview as
follows :
"Tho thousands of workingmen who
are employed in the manufactories of
this country -do not care an-iots-aboutl
this question of free silver. They say
they do not, and it is apparent that what
the industrial classes of America want is
better times, a dawn of prosperity and
some assurance that they will ere long
receive better wages or at least a stipend
equal to that which they were getting be
foro the financial depression which fol
lowed the democratic victory of 1892.
"I am convinced of the correctness of
what I am saying because I have talked
with my men on this subject, I haye
5000 to G00O men in my employ, and I
know by personal investigation that the
men who are working iu the shops and
the mines care little or nothing about
the whole financial question. They rec
ognize the fact that it is one of the issues
of the campaign, but that it is about as
far as their interest goes. It is the far
mers and the debtor class who are inter
ested in the free-silyer question. The
workingmen want prosperity, and they
realize that this much-desired condition
can only came as a result of the remedial
measures of a protective tariff.
"However, the nomination of McKin
ley on a geld platform is going to stimu
late industry. It will bring back to this
country much of the capital which was
withdrawn by foreign investors, and its
effect will be felt in an equal degree
among the local capitalists. Why, I
mytelf known of enterprises involving
an investment of millions of dollars
who3o consummation was purposely de
layed until tbe projectors could ascertain
the character of the declarations in the
St. Louis platform."
Wife-Murderer Hanged.
Maesiified, Or., I one 26. Carl Au
brecht, the wife-murderer, was hanged
lilUhfMlilvanl. .at fnm .-.ni..
past 10 o clock today. Life was pro
nounced extinct a few seconds otter the
drop fell.
The execution was the Brat Jhat ever
took place in this city, and it was wit
nessed by those legally entitled to be
present. Aubrecht retained bis nerve to
the last. He left a word ot good-by to
his friends.
The crime for which he paid the capi
tal penalty was the murder of his wife
last January. The woman supported
ber husband by taking in washing.
When she failed to give thebrnte money
he shot her to death. The couple had
lived unlnppilv for years in South
Marshfield. Aubrecht was 47 years of
age.
Revolt in Armenia.
(Constantinople, June 20. uenial is
given by the sublime porte to the em
bassy statement that tbe Turkish troops
fired upon Armenian prisoners. Com
plete accord exists between the repre
sentativea of the great powers on the
subject of securing the appointment of
a Christian governor for Crete and the
fulfillment of the treaty of Aleppo. Each
ambassador will send an individual note
to this effect.
Another sanguinary outbreak has oc
curred at Van and 400 are reported to
havo been killed. The Persians are pro
moting the disturbances and fomenting
the revolt throughout .Armenia. The
Druses have now received Bedouin sup
port and are driving out the Turks. Dip
lomatic press is being brought to bear on
the porte, increasing tho chances of
peace.
ihe iollowiug statement has been re
ceived from Captain Vialar:
'I have witnessed hideous enormities
Armenian girls and women were pub
licly sold at auction. A mother threw
her two daughters into a well before my
eves to save them from the Turks. Evi
dences of Turkish official complicity hav
been obtained by me. The foreign press
should be ashamed to remain indiffer
ent."
Captain Vialar deplores tbe humiliat
ing role accepted by France. The porte
continues to hang Armenians publicly
It i3 understood that Russia will prevent
the publication of Yialar's report.
A Calf With Two Mouths.
There is a calf at Mosier, tho property
of Mrs. J. H. Mosier, that ranks as one
of the leading freaks of nature, says The
Dalles Times-Mountainear. The calf is
perfectly formed iu all parts except that
it has two mouths. Tho upper part of
the head is natural, with ono mouth
where it should .ordinarily be, and un
derneath this is a growth about six
inches long and four inches iu diameter,
at tho extremity of which is a well-de
veloped mouth with teeth, a well-formed
lower jaw aud tongue. The calf take3
its nourishment through the upper
mouth, bat being prevented by the ex
tra appendage from eating grass or any
other solid food, is gradually starving.
It is about three mouths old, and so
long as milk furnished eufliciunt nourish
ment it continued to thrive, but now,
that it requires something moio sub
stantial, it is losing flesh and will soon
dio from starvation.

Drowned in the Umpqua.
Friday afternoon about three o'clock
the Umpqua river claimed its annual
victim in the person of Fen Adams, son
of Mrs. Serena Adams, who In company
with his con8in, Stonewall Sutherlin,
and Ed. Earle was in bathing near the
cut" just below town. Sutherlin swam
out in the river a short distance and was
ncched on mrt- A,imj fMTiT-n.i
and when about twenty or thirty feet
from the thore, called ont that he was
"give cut." Earle called to him to turn
and swim down stream. A few Eeconds
later he threw up his hands and disap
peared from sight. Assistance was socn
summoned and an attempt was made to
recover the body, bnt without avail.
Cash Trask, who boa rescued from
drowning half a dozen or mere parsons
near the same spot, repeatedly diyed for
the body, but owing to the roiled state
of the water could not find it. Other
parlis3 tried, and with like result.- Later
giant powder was exploded in the hole
where the drowning occurred and for a
considerable distance down stream, but
so far without result. The iiyer bottom
is very uneven, and though the average
depth is not groat'here are many deep
holes and creviies among the rocks,
making the task of recovering the body
very difficult.
A reward ot $100 has teen oiler ed for
the recovery of the body.
The Soldier's Home Hospital.
The hospital at the Soldier's Home is
sufficiently advanced in construction to
give one an idea of its appearance when
completed in September. The building,
which has been sided and roof-boarded,
is in the form of a cross, whose apex
faces the road. The roof of the central
structure rises several feet above that of
the wings on each tiJe. The general
dimensions are 100 by 50 feet, and two
Btories above the roomy brick basement,
in which will be located the kitchen,
dining rcorn, laundry, storerooms, etc.
The walls will consist of planed and
matched flooring covered by tarred pa
per and rustic. Within the walls will be
lathed and plastered. A part ot the
windows will consist cf stained glass.
No provision has been made by the ar
chitect, a Portlander, for the use of the
upper story, and it is evident therefore,
it it were necessary to accommodate more
than 30 patients for which it is intended,
to be prepared under present arrange
ments, that the number of beds could
be doubled. The cost of the builaing
will be oyer $5000, and about $2000 in
addition will be expended to furnish it.
Tbe hospital stands in tbe center of a
weedy field, several acres in extent to
the south of tho Home, the most con
spicuous objects in which, are piles o!
stumps- The landscape gardner will
obliterate these incongruities in the
sweet bye and bye.
The Fire.
At 10 o'clock last night an alarm of fire
was rung by the city fire alarm beli.
Mrs. Teeny's house on tbe corner of Lane
mid Kane streets was on fire, originating
from an explosion of a coal oil lamp left
on the sittingroom table while the fam
ily weio sitting outside on the porch.
TLe firemen were promptly on
hand but the fire had spreid so
rapidly that the small babcock fire
extinguishers (the only means of
fighting the flames) could not bo used,
and tho building with nearly all the con
tents was destroyed. Loss about $1500;
insured in the L'h(unix of London for
$1000.
