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.
His courteous demeanor was something
entirely foreign to police court proced
ure and the cose attracted much at
tention in consequence.

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.

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.
