Commercial Slnvt, The steamer State of California did cot reach the Astoria dock yesterday morning until nearly T o'clock, although she lett Portland on schedule time. On account of low water the steamer was u able to round the Tongue so she cast anchor for a few hours and waited for the t!d to rise. She bad a fair paseen- gr list and cargo and took on a quan- tfiy of freight nere. She went out at 10 0 clock. 1 TI.e Congregational church services will be conducted as usual today by Rev. Fdw.

A cordial welcome Is extended to all who may desire to attend any or all of these services which will be Interesting and !!vating. Tomorrow evening Astorians will be entertained at Fisher's opera house with tha newest burlesque and VauJe Yille company In "Vanity Fair." as ar ranged for this season. It prwnls an Interesting mixture of musk-, sensa tional acrobatic feats and grotesque burlesque antics, with farce and song and other special features. The hill coutalns a sufficiency of pleasing and entertaining comedy, singing and htKh class music. Seats are now selling fast at Gritfin & Read's. Dr. Styner, the electric doctor, re turned on last night's express from Portland, where he was called Thurs day evening by a telegram of pressing importance. During Dr. Stjner's ab sence nearly M persons called on him. The doctor regrets that he was compell- ed to disappoint his callers, but his ab- sence in Portland could not be avoided. Owing to the many persons now recelv- lug Dr. Styner's treatment, he win re- main for another week, and callers will And him hereafter at his office In the Main-street house. Two Astorians were disputing yes terday, one claiming that this year closed the 19th century and the other insisting that the century does not end until December 31. 1900. Since there are 1C ears In a century, the latter, ot curse, was correct, but the first man Is not the only one who has made the error. It Is even said that the big Paris exposition was intended to usher in the twentieth c-jntury, but the managers have Just grasped the fact that it will only be a funeral to the nineteenth. The projected Pan-American exposition will Inaugurate the new c-ntury. Two gentlemen of foreign ancestry had an altercation on the str.-t yes terday evening. After a heated argu ment one hotly remarked, "Ye spalpeen, I'll bate the fur-'; off yz." "I dank yrni don't," answered the oth-r anj h- was right. He still has hi face. But there was a mlxup. chiefly of the huniritis character, and the two er .hrt.-e fpc tat'irt, fa' no occasion to interfere. The Celt finally grew wear' and whis pered something in th opposition's ear. The romlihtants locked arms, niarr-h'd to the nearest saloon and the fi?M was oft.

Mrs. H.ukt died yfsterday mornirg In Portland, where f-he had g'nc Tues day for special medical treatment. An operation was d'-enied necessary, but the shock was too tmat and she did no rally after It. Her husband, who Is a member of the firm of Seholfleld & Hauke, iu I'pper Astoria, accompanied his wife to Portland and was v.i'h her when she died. Th.- funeral arrange ments will be made tomorrow. The body was brought down on last i i. t, ir it's train. Mrs. Hauke wa highly respected by her neighbors who d-eply regret her death. Mr. and Mis. ITitiko liad no children of their own bet had adopted a little girl. Mr. Hauke was a native A Norway. Prnf'-ssor A. L. Clarke pti 'ipal of the Adair school, has had quite a vailed experience sinc H,r. achool vacation began four months ag'i. Aft.-r the .srhinlx clos-d down, he went !) wrrk at th" As'.orla Box Factory for tvt week, then work slacked up and not wishing to be Idle, h1 pulled hoot for a fisherman for over a month; after that he left for the Willamette valley, where he picked and shelled three bushels of hazel nuts; picked hops at Oervals, drove a threshing machine at Chiiniporg and stacked hay a St. Louis,! Mnv'n ivunty. This conclusively show that rroftfr Clarke It man who nevw Ida the gnus ttrow under hi foet and that he ts a frat rustlor. A laundry Chinaman, carrying a baa- kel 0f cMHee, was passln along an ji,toria street ywterday afternoon wnwl he hul someone cry "hre! here." Scenting bustnwis he looked around but saw no one save an Innocent reporter. He started on when again the voltf came. "You, come here, you." apparently was from across the street , vmile of "sabe" came over the wie,tial's face. He stored his basket umier an awning out of the rain and iUxpping to the opposite side of the 8trwt mounted a night of stairs. He c4n,e down loo-king disappointed and troubled. Ho picked up the basket ,nen ne heard. "Come here, come here, come here. Polly wants a crack er:" John located the sound this time. It was from a parrot shrieking in an upstairs' window. The Chlno muttered a few words In English and shambled) on. He may have been a good mission 1 school Chinaman but his language did n't show it. A SOCIETY EVENT. Wit, Beauty and Burnt Cork at Fisher's Opera House. N'-xt Wednesday and Thursday even ings Fisher's opera house will no doubt bo crowded to the doors, the occasion t-in: the Brst appearance for the bene fit of the Astoria Public Library. This event will be a new departure In the amusement line. Instead of the usual mlnlstrel performance by the worn-out male tribe. 50 of our bright Astoria ladies will show us how to cracU Jokes, sing darkey songs, dance. etc , and the final mill be a genuine cake u.tlk. in which the couples receiving the most applause at the hands of the audience will be awarded the delicious cake. There will be not a stale or common place feature in the whole proformance nor anything, of course, even border ing on coarsness. One attraction will follow another writh rapidity. The sale of seats opens at Griffin Keed's Tuesday morning. Of:!) RED TO PORTLAND. Dewey's Famous Dispaich Boats Will Be One of the 81ghts of tk$ Expieitton.

Portland Move for a Thirty Foot Chan, nol Proves That lrt Inadvquate for Commerce. Hillsboro Independent. Positive friends of Portland have been fond of saying that a channel t the sea 12 feet deep waa enough. They haw pointed out that other ports are shallow too, that ships that visit them can oo-ne to Portland, and hence there Is no need of more water when It can not be used. But recently when It Is seen that big ships, sail Portland announced that 55-foot channel would at once be dredg ed out to the sea, and now later It stated that a SO-foot channel Is requir ed. This latter statement concedes the contention of Astoria, that the sea port ot Oregon must be able to ac commodate, the heavy commerce of the world. It seems like a great undertaking to remove seven and a half feet from the bottom of the Willamette and Co lumbia rivers for a distance of liW miles, though It Is possible that JO feet of water already exists evcept at f v points. The expense of dredging the New York channel from !S to 35 feet for a distance of only seven miles roni up Into the millions and It is no. Just plain to see where the money Is coming from to undertake a greater work In Oregon. Would It not be U-tter to take the money that will be required for dredging and put It Into gTaln ele vators at Astoria and Flavel? If Port land will send the wheat of the Wil lamette and Columbia valleys tr the mouth of the Columbia, there will be nothing to fear from Seattle or San Francisco. There will be no need of sending wheat fron Oregon to San Francisco for reshlpment. The tea In spector will be brought back to Ore gon and that, too, without the Interven tion of the congressional delegation. Besides our railroad will have full cats eastward. Portland will be the distributing point Instead ot Seattle and Tacoma. London Is a big town, though Liverpool Is the shipping port. CARD OF THANKS.
