The treasury department has had be
fore It a new problem for which there
le no provision In the customs regula
tions. An Irtahman In Virginia has
written a letter to the eecretary com
plaining that he has had no luck what
ever with his laundry work In that
state, and wants to send his linen regu
larly to "old Ireland" to be washed by
"women folks" who know how to wash
and Iron properly.
The matter was at first taken to be a
joke and a polite letter was written to
the complainant saying that there was
no precedent for sending clothes out of
the country to be washed, and the
brodlng Buddana of the customs serv
ice were therefore loath to pass upon
what appeared on the face of it to be
wholly a hypothetical question.
This proved wholly Ineffective to
quiet the Irishman, and he came back
with another letter eaylng that the
government was very much mistaken
If the assumption was that he waa toy
ing with a hypothetical question. He
really wanted to send his clothes home
every month or two to the old sod to
be washed, and he would like to have
a ruling that he should not be bothered
with customs duties.
The department studied the problem,
and finally replied that there was no
law to prevent the applicant from send
ing his clothes to Ireland to be washed,
and If he would state to the cllector of
the port whence they were sent that
they were to be taken to Ireland to be
washed, and would undergo no change
thereby In character or quality, they
would pass duty free.

Smaller Craft Who Have Ilten
Profiting by the Overflow
Slay Start a Cat In
JtateK.
One, and possibly two, fast passen
ger and freight steamers for the As
toria and Ban Francisco route, to a
slat the Columbia and the Elder, are
among the contemplated Improvements
to the Ilarrlman water service along
the Pacific coast. Official announce
ment of this Important adltlon to
Astoria's coastwise shipping facilities
Is expected as soon as General Man
ager fkbwerln returns from the east
It la announced that the owners of
the smaller steamers, who have been
profiting by the overflow from the
0, It a K. steamers, expect the offi
cial announcement of the addition at
an early date. It Is also believed that
the advent of the new steamers will
lead to a rate war that will be gigantic
In Its proportions.
Thus far but few of the smaller
coasting steamers have made much
of an attempt to cut in on the passen
ger business, the Alliance, which
touches at way ports being about the
only one that does much in this line,
and the most of her passenger travel
cornea from the way ports. Travel by
ea in spite of the dlacomfort is still
very popular with a certain percentage
of the traveling public, and Is Increas
ing. It Is expected that the tourist
travel next year will be much greater
than ever, and many of the visitors to
the Lewis and Clark fair, who come
out from the east, will take advantage
of the ocaalon, either coming or go
ing, to enjoy the ocean trip between
Portland and San Francisco. With
a fast boat and good accommodations
this could be made a very popular trip.
and while the Harrlman steamship line
would to a certain extent be running
opposition to the Hani man railroad.
the business and development of the
country has reached a stage where a
service of this kind la demanded.
As a considerable portion of the
freight that was bandied by the steam
ers came into Portland over the Har
rlman lines, It would have been a com
paratively easy matter for the O. R.
A N. Co. to route It through to San
Francisco by Its own steamers had they
not been running full to the hatches
all the time. Not all of the freight that
originates in this territory can be con
trolled by the O. R. A N. Co, no mat
ter how many boats It places on the
route, but If a good fast steamer Is
added to the present service, it would
undoubtedly cause the retirement of
some of the mosquito fleet now plying
on the route.
Just at present all of the steamers
On the Pacific coast are profitably em
ployed, but periodical dull seasons come
and In the past the Portland-San Fran
cisco route has always offered the beat
opening for steamers that have been
crowded out of other fields. It is un
doubtedly to forestall opposition of this
nature that the O. R. A N. Is arrang
hit to take car of all the business
that it can secure here. As the need
of the boat or boats Is very urgent. It
Is thought that a ready-built craft
will be purchased in preference to wait
ing until a new one. could be construct'.
ed. Shipping business on the Atlantic
Is not so good as on the Paclflo, and
there Is nearly always an opportunity
to buy a good steamer at a reasonable
figure; In fact Portland ship brokers
ottered them within the past few daya,
none of which, however, were large
enough or fast enough to meet tho re
quirements of the 0. R. ife N. service
on the San Francisco route.
Facts of IntereeL
A very remarkable caee of auto
matic whistling following brain in
jury occurred some time ago In Buffa
lo, The caae wan that of a Polish la
borer employed In the ast Buffalo
s'pek yards. He waa found one morn
ing lying unconscious beside the rail
road track, having evidently been
struck by a passing train. He was
cormlderably cut up, but the chief In
jury was a depressed fracture of the
skull, situated three Inches
above and one Inch behind the left
ear. The skull was Immediately re
phlned, the depreaned bone removed,
and he was put to bed, and seemed to
be doing welt although he remained
unconscious. About 10 o'clock that
night he suddenly began to whlittle
the whistling calls he was accustomed
to use In handling the cattle in the
yards. He would continue whistling
for about a minute, and then stop for
five or ten minutes. He kept this up
for regular Intervals until he died
four days later . The whisUlng was
pitched always in the same key, and
at no time could any melody be die tin
gulshed. It was audible over the
whole hospital ward, and attracted the
attention of every one about U was
Impossible to arouse the man at any
lime after the accident and he re
mained entirely unconscious to the
end and whistled until a few minutes
before he died. ''.

me for aorae little time. Three days
after I began their use I knew they
had gone to the cause of the dull

my back and relief came sooner than
I expected, t believe the cure Is per

Wore of All Experiences.
Can anything be worse than to feel
that every minute will be your last?
Such waa the experience of Mrs, S. H.
Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three
years," she writes, "I endured insuffer
able pain from indigestion, stomach
and bowel trouble. Death seemed in
evitable when doctor and all remedies
failed. At length I was Induced to try
Electric Bitters, and the result was
miraculous. I Improved at once, and
now I'm completely recovered." For

Clyde Fitoh, Playwright.
Clyde Fitch may not be the fore
moMt American dramatist, but he is
certainly the most prolific, and the most
successful- at least, from the commer
clal standpoint. He produces five or
six plays every year, and rarely does
he score a failure. More of his plays
are being presented today than of any
other dramatist, alive or dead. One
out of every six or seven of our more
prominent actors is apearing In a Fitch
play. Not a billboard In the country
but is plastered with a poster announc
lng one of his plays, at least two or
three times "a season. These things
spell success, In big letters. They mean
royalties, In a steady and constantly
Increasing stream; for as soon as a
tar discards a play. It is snapped up
by road companies, If it was a success,
and then goes to the stock companies,
so that it continues to earn money for
its author for years after its first pro
duction. 5
Far more than any living playwright
Clyde Fitch understands the art of
pleasing the public. He Is not ham
pered by any difficult ideals. His play1
must Interest must hold the attention
of the audience from the first word to
the last must arouse discussion, awak
en curiosity. Beyond this nothing.
Clyde Fitch wrote hla first play, pro
fessionally, In 1889, when he produced
Beau Brummer for Richard Mans
field. Since then he has worked assid
uously, and has a score of successes
to hla credit And he is yet under 40!
Small wonder that the name of Fitch
is talismanlc in the theatrical world-
