Aged Gdestial I Dies on Lothian Succumbs While Vessel Is on Way Down RiverSteamer in if- ' Filthy Condition, The ballot boxes that were used at Hammond yesterday In th.e special elec tion were brought up t'o town by Harvey Thompson. The vote cast was 22. At Warrenton seven otes were cast and Sklpanon polled eight; The soil of aged Sing Luey fled while the .Oriental liner Lothian was coming down ,1he river from Portland, Tuesday, The Chinaman had engaged passage at Sari Francisco for his na tive land, that he might die there among the friends of his boyhood and the associations whose memory had bolstered up his spirits at various times In this nation of the free. -. The Lo thian lft Portland at noon on Tuesday dnd a sbrt Ume later Luey cashed In his checks. He was officially pronunced to have succumbed to the ravages of time. The body Is still aboard the ship and will be embalmed by the other Ce lestials aboard which means that It Will be preserved In brine for burial In China'. "' ' " " The Lothian does not present an in viting appearance. The 664 Chinese who took passage on her a.t San Fran cisco are not at all clean, and the ship is Just about as filthy as one could well Imagine a vessel to be. The Chinese are crowded for room, but seem well satis- fled with their condition. They are go ing- home front America for $15 and that in itself is sufficient recompense for the inconveniences to wfolch they are being subjected. iSvenson ARE YOU Looking' for a Present?

No. 538 Duane Street, W. J. COOK, Mgr. THE PORTLAND :- r:" Vt . II, C. BOTERS, Mgr. Special Rates to Astorians Concern Is being expressed In ship. ping circles regarding the safety of the oriental liner Indrapura, which was due to arrive at Victoria, B. C, four days ago. The vessel sailed from Yo kohama November 26. The passage seldom requires more than 17 days, and now that more than 20 have elapsed, It Is natural that uneasiness should be felt by owners and others Interested. There Is no settled conviction that the Indrapura has met with disaster, but that she Is delayed by heavy storms, is not unlikely. Upon arriving at Vicr torla the liner will disembark a number of passengers and then she will pro ceed down the coast to the Columbia. The great McEwen gave another splendid fntcrtalnment at Fishers' op. era house last night. The attendance waa much larger than either former night and the new feature in the magio and hypnotism were If such be possible better than before. The audience was very appreciative which no doubt as sisted Mr. McEwen In bringing the "subjects- out. Tet there will be bet ter results obtained, when the class of subjects reach that proportion where talent may be found, then will Mr. Mo Ewen put on his famous "minstrel" and statuary scenes. This class of en. tertainment is always good on account of the originality brought out in the course of the evening's performance Mr. McEwen announced from the stage that tie would make his blind- folded drive tomorrow. Starting from the oiwra house at 12:30 p. m., he wiil follow a route selected by a com mittee of citizens, through the main portion of town, locating a book prev iously hidden by a part of the com mittee, then drive back to the opera house and find a word selected also by the committee.? He is blindfolded be fore leaving the opera house and re matnsbllndfolded until after the word Is found. It Dennis Brown, one of the employes of the Astoria Electric Company, has juite a collection of rare coins and other relics of the past. One of We tolus Is a copper piece weighing two and a half ounces, bearing the Inscrlp- ton, "Georglus III, D. G. Rex," on one side, and on the reverse side, "Brit- tanla, 1797." Mr, Brown states that a few weeks ago he was offered two nnniids sterllne for the piece by an Englishman who happened to ride on the car. The Britisher was or han been a - smelter ana servea , inrouguuui me Boer war. When he saw the old coin he remarked that he had seen but one before, and' had purhased It for $10. He couldn't buy the piece here, how ever, for any money that he might be willing to give. Mr. Brown has also a lot of rare stamps, among them being some ola state tax stamps of the.de n nm I Tin Hons of 10 cents and $1, and a postage stamp printed during Andrew Jackson's time. Another curiosity in the possession of the collector ia a copy of an Issue of a Charleston, S. C, pa per of the year 1821, a treasure which the owner prizes very highly. , All of Wise's customers who have bought $10 worth of goods or over since June 1, 1903, who have not as yet re ceved their numbers are requested to secure them before the drawing for four first-class round-trip tickets to the world's fair at St. Louis.
