The most attractive window ln As

mented upon. Dainty sweets In pro
fusion, Christmas toys, of every de
scrlptlon has been admired by every
one. The store Is profusely decorated
with Christmas tree ornaments and
trlmmlnaa. something never before
seen ln Astoria. The choicest candles
tare displayed and the store la crowded
night and day. Orders have come In
from every section of the country and
small towns on the river on account of
the excellent assortment. There Is not
a store- on the coast that can compare
with It. either In neatness or the qual
ity and quantity of stock carried.
Suicide Is becoming quite a fad In
Astoria. Yesterday morning Miss
Nellie Lamont, sometimes called
Block Nell," and who also bear the
euphonious title of "The Spanish
Queen," attempted to commit suicide
by Jumping off the wharf at the foot
of Seventh street." Her quasi husband
who officiates as a swamper at the O.
K., followed her to the wharf ,and
when his meal ticket Jumped over
board, he followed suit and readied It
from the watery grave. They came
to the surface spontaneously, and by
this time "a crowd had gathered. A
rope was thrown to the happy couple
and they were towed ashore. The only
benefit derived from the plunge was
- "Shore Ar."
Seat sale opens tomorrow morning
at 9 o'clock at Fisher Bros.' office, 109
Twelfth street It makes one better to
see such a play as "Shore Acres." It Is
an old play, and yet it Is a new one
new In that one never tire of seeing
it, and one finds something more to
admire ln every presentation. This Is
"Shore Acres" 12th ' season, and that
in Itself Is the greatest proof of the
play' value. The scenes enacted In
the old Barry homestead, where dear
old Uncle Nat brings in a whole car
load of toy for the children, bought
with his last pension money that was
so sorely needed for a new overcoat
is one of those bits of human nature
that has helped to endear "Shore
Acres" to every lover of home life ln
America. There are other scenes
equally as touching. No play now be
fore the public, has ao honestly de
served the success it has achieved, and
every lover of refined stage art sin
cerely hopes that "Shore Acres" will
continue to be played for many years
to come. Don't fall to secure your
seats early.
