THE MORNING. ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1905. 8 NATIONAL ART CLUB Splendid Mansion Built by Gov ; eanorjiiden the Site. OVERLOOKS GRAMERCY PARK St Its New Home the Club Will Have . On of the Mott Capacious and Mag : aificent Clubhouses in New York, Containing Splendid Studio, Sew Tork. March U. The splendid ' nanslon built by Governor Tllden In Twentieth street, overlooking Gra i mercy Dark, Is soon to become the . hmn of the National Art club. Ne fsotiattons with the Tllden heirs have just been concluded hut the price paid them was not made public. The houes Is perfectly adapted to 'the use of the 1300 artists holding aiembership in the club. Governor Tllden designed It with the Idea of 'permanent occupation as a public 11, hrary after his death. His own col lection of S0OO volumes was to have Jbrmed the nucleus. A piece of va- ; eant property on Nlnenteenth street also has been bought for the club and apon It will at one be built a 12 or K-story steel frame studio bull ling. As a private house, the Tllden man ion came nearer to warranting the adjective palatial than any house of fts time In New York. Its owner was liberal entertainer and in his spa cious rooms some of the most import ant conferences of the period were Beld. It s manlflcent and for club purposes is so well adapted that its wew owners will not have to change k partition or make any important al terations. In its new home the club will have me of the most capacious and mag aificent clubhouses occupied by any fbnitar organization in the world. Plato's Philosophy. Astoria, Ore.. March. 2S, 1903. Editor Morning Astorian: To those who say tlit gambling ftrings revenues to the cltyt let us say that, that is simply a blind view. A gambling town gets a bad, reputa tion abroad and men of means an 3 swney do not care to erect homes and arm? up families in these lose go as "you please places. When one opposes rice and tries for better things the "responsibles" yell, "reformer!" and he Is regarded as a crank and lmpos sibUist. The wicked want things their awa way. To stand for common de cency Is what each and every prac tical man should stand for. Vice and rime do not appreciate the value of Siings or of property but tend to de preciate all things material as well as moral. Astoria wants homes and sfenliness and responsible men and, women. The sheriff is clearly right la the premises and is indorsed by rery decent man in the community. Vines collected from gambling has no doubt been turned over to the city. But what of that? Decency is worth snore than dollars. When men build komes they construct something where they gamble they destroy everything. Tsct us construct and produce awhile and kt the revenues come from clean worces. COMMON DECENCY. part of Astoria. There were no stores oh Commercial street, all of the bust ness being done on Ninth and Hon J streets. The owners of the property lost their tenents .by refusing to re pair the buildings and they were com pelled to move. Bond street is natur ally the business thoroughfare of the city, but lack of enterprise drove It to Commercial. Street Assessments. City Attorney Smith is preparing n ordinance providing lor issuing a war rant to the chief of police directing him to proceed and collect nil the de linquent street assessments due the city which amount to nearly $15,000. Some of the property owners neglect to pay their street assessments for four or ftve years, and when compelled to or desire to sell the property, send a pe tition to the common council to he nl lowed to pay the original cost without penalty and interest, thereby having the use of their money for four or five years. The council has refused to en tertaln any such propositions as It is not treating property owners right who pay their assessments promptly. The ordinance will he ready for the next meeting of the common council. WILL MAKE EXHIBIT Sacramento Valley Development League Will Be Represented. Building Boom. If people tnke tne tl'0UDl t0 take a walk In uppertown, on the hills and down In Unlontown they will be surprised ot the number of new houses that have been erected in Astoria. dur ing the past year. Assessor Cornelius has added 133 new houses to his as sessment roll, and there are at least 20 more under contract or process of construction. Every house Is rented as soon as completed and In many In stances before the contract Is let. The population of Astoria Is Increasing very rapidly. Young People's Sosial. The Methodist parsonage was the scene of a very pleasant social given by the young people of the church last evening. The feature of the evening's entertainment was the first appearance in public of the Sunset chorus, an or ganisation of male singers whose songs were very meritorious and highly ap: predated by the large number pres ent. The prediction was made taat tne gentlemen will add much to the en joyment of lovers of song In the city if they continue their efforts and favor the public with their music. George Watkins also sang and responded to an encore. Another Story. There Is another story now in con nection with the shooting pf Joe Nick. Constantine Lemon stated at first that Xick was flourishing a revolver and in attempting to take it away from him it was accidentally discharged. The aew story is, that Lemon had the re volver and was going to shoot T. K. Johnson and It was accidentally dis charged wounding Nick. It Is a crime to have a revolver and a crime to point a at any one, vr.nether loaded or not, and ought to be a cime to have such a disposition. Accused of Adhesiveness. George. B. Thomas, formerly of As toria, but for several years a resident f Portland, where he became a labor leader and succeeded In getting on the port of Portland commission, has been Indicted on a charge of accumulating JjOO without rendering any llgitimate services therefor, or what is euphon iously designated by politicians as "grafting." Robert Wakefield anj J. 25. Bridges are also Indicted as ac- ssories before the fact, in other words, for getting part of the swag. With the exception of the women and children, nearly all the men in Port land have now been indicted and the Jaw octupus will now reach Its fangs ent into the utermost recesses of the Jtate, for more converts. Civio Improvement. Several of the old shacks, which are early ready to fall down, are being torn down on Ninth street, between Bond and Astor streets. The build ings belong to the Boelllng estate, and 3b years ago .used to be the business PERSONAL MENTION. LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION Sutter's Fort, a Historie Monument of California. Will Be Reproduced by the Enterprising People of California at the Portland Exposition. Sacramento, March 24. The Sacra mento Valley Development Association with headquarters in this city, urges thut a Sacramento valley exhibit be sent to Portland and thut It be housed In a reproduction of the main build ing of Sutlers fort, the historical struc ture of the Sacramento valley. Suttors fort Is a historic monument and it Is argued that a reproduction at Portland can be made one of the striking features of the exposition. especially If with It are exhibited other relics of early days. Sutter's fort was the rallying place of the men who participated M the Bear flag uprising. It was the center of American Influence In the days which preceded the raising rt the star and stripes at Monterey. It was here that General Fremont found rest for his little band after their march across the continent in 1S16. Over 6000 peo ple visited Sutters fort here last year and It is expected that a replica of the building would attract much at tention at Portland. G. M. McPhlilips of Denver Is in the city. George E.

Scores of Astoria Readers Are Learn ing the Duty ef the Kidneys. To filter the blood Is the kidney's duty. i When they fail to do this the kid neys are sick. Backache and many kidney Ills fol low. Urinary trouble, diabetes. Doan's Kidney Pills Cure them all. J. Blake, whose place of residence is 523 Market street, Portland, says: "I bought several boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and I scarcely think If the first had not proved satisfactory that I would have tried the second and third. I had used almost everything said to be a cure for weakened kidneys and bladder, but nothing ever gave me the satisfaction I received from Doan's Kidney Pills. They are easy to take, have no effect upon the stomach or bowels and act directly on the kid neys. I thoroughly believe from the results I received and also from obser vation that Doan's Kidney Pills are one preparation on the market which acts directly as represented." Emphatic endorsement can be had The grocer would be too comfortable if all his goods were like Schilling's Best and backed by the maker as the; are. Money back. mm MAKERS.
