A most polite prisoner appeared in tht police court dock yesterday after noon upon a charge of drunkenness. The man Is named Andrew Antonna. He pleaded guilty to the charge and cordially thanked the police officers for their kindness In taking care of him while he was In an Irresponsible Con dition. He expressed a desire to pay the fine of 15 which Judge Anderson imposed, and courteously requested that one of tht officers accompany him to the place where he kept his money.

For further particulars, call on or address Q. W. ROBERTS, Agent O. R. & N. Co., Astoria. of the secret societies of the city. It appears to be tht plan of this company to give to small towns sums of money not exceeding f 5000 for town hall pur poses. However, the sum would not be great enough to build a city hall for Astoria, and the company would not agree to have the money form part of a building fund. The proposal did not meet with general favor. Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club, has under taken the organization of the Oregon Development League. Mr. Richardson is a hustler recently employed by the enterprising Portland body to stir up commercial matters. He outlines bis plan in a letter to Tht Astorlan, In which he says: "A convention will be held in Portland Tuesday and Wednes day, August 2 and I, under tht auspices of tbe Portland Commercial Club, for tht purpose of organizing an Oregon Development League. Every editor In Oregon will be a delegate-at-large. The mayor of tvery city or town, tht county commissioners, president of tvery commercial, Industrial, mining, horticultural, agricultural, stock-grow ing, Irrigation, dairy or other associa tion In Oregon, which has for its pur pose the upbuilding and betterment of this state, will have the right to name delegates, and upon the floor tbe small est locality will have the same vote as the city of Portland. The official call of this convention will be Issued Just as soon aa a few Important details now under consideration are consum mated. We want to get to work under an Oregon banner and make this state better, known than any other state in the union, and the plan to accomplish this result will be decided by this con vention, In which all interests can par ticipate." The matter will be brought before the Astoria commercial bodies in due season and delegates represent ing the city will be named. Mr. Rich ardson Is a noted hustler, and there is no question of his ability to make the league a success. PERSONAL MENTION. C. B. Clement returned lost night to Portland. H. L.

HEILBORN SON I Astoria's Leading House-furnishers Whether or not the Commercial Club baseball team will be able to cope with the Multnomah aggregation Is a question that is attracting the atten tion of the lovers of the national game. The Commercial team is engaged In dally practice and will be in butter shape tomorrow afternoon than at any other time during the season, although the absence of Rosy Graham will be seriously felt. Swep Morton, who us ually officiates behind the batt, will be at the second station, and it is said of him he makes an excellent base man. Tommy Ross will throw and Ferguson will catch. Flannlgan will hold down first, O'Toole will look out for the short territory and Brother Harry will be at third. In the left garden Chop Stockton will be sta tioned, in the center Charlie Haider man and in the right Ross Trulllnger. With this arrangement the locals hope furnish a first-class character of support for Tommy Ross and to ad game will be called promptly at o'clock, and there promises to be on hand the greatest crowd of the season, The committee appointed by Mayor Surprenant to solicit 3200,000 worth of life Insurance, thereby earning for the city 35000, yesterday made Us report The committee recommended that the mayor turn over the proposition to the ways and means committee of the council, which would be much better prepared to make an active canvass, and whose duty it Is to provide funds for the municipality. Two of the com mitteemen were left to do the work. They figured that If they were to go out and get 3200,000 worth of life In surance and earn the reward of 35000, they would each bo donating to the city the sum of 32500. While both men are phllanthroplcally inclined, they deemed this as rather too much of a sacrifice to make, even for beloved Astoria, and therefore asked to be excused. Mr. Clement the man with the proposal, stated yesterday that the offer would probably be made to one Ont of Them for the Company. A well-known comedian, celebrated for his eccentricities, boarded a street car the other day and duly paid his fore upon demand. After riding a block or so further he produced another nickel and tendered the same to the passing conductor. The honest conductor refused the proffered coin, while the actor vehem ently protested his desire to pay his fare. "You have given me your fore al ready," argued the man in uniform. "I know," responded the comedian, but this is for the company." Every one laughed excepting the dis comfited conductor, who had omitted to register the first collection. The Balloon Plant One of the curious devices of nature for scattering seeds is seen in the bal loon plant of California. The fruit Is yellow, and is a little larger than an egg. It has the appearance of an mpty bag, but U contains a watery substance which evaporates or dries up when the fruit matures, a sort of gas taking its place. This gas Is fighter than air, and the fruit flips back and forth in the wind until It finally breaks loose from its slender stem, rises into the air to a height of from 75 to 100 feet, and sails away to fall In some distant spot, and thus ex tend the growth of its kind. he Needs of a Home Are numerous And sometimes expensive if you havt not found tht right plaoa to trade.
