SLOT MACHINES OPERATED Nearly all the Small Commodities, In eluding Liquid Refreshments and Wtiner Wurst and Sausagt Can B Procured by Dropping Money in Slot, It Is a well known fact, that no gam bling of any kind Is allowed In Ger many. There is a place called Mon haco, a sort of a summer resort, fre quented by the more wealthy classes, having a government of Its own, dis tinct and separate from any other country, where gambling is permitted and where it is indulged in by a class of people who usually can afford it. It Is similar to the great Monte Carlo where thousands of dollars or the American heiress has been lost by their husbands, the dukes and grand hobos of foreign countries with royal blood and a plethoric pocketbook. But they have nlckel-in-the-slot machines in Germany, says Mr. George Kaboth, who made an extensive tout of the country last year. But these machines are not allowed to be oper ated for money. Tou can, however. . buy almost anything made or manu factured in a slot machine. They are kept In all the stores, hotels restaur ants, saloons and other business places, and what are known as trade machines. By dropping the piece of money desig nated any article you desire comes out of the machine. In othes words you get value received on your Investment In the American slot machine you get what Paddy shot at The saloons have the machines and back of a glass case axe designated the whisky, wine or soft drinks. Tpu put in the price and out comes the whisky, If ordered. Not the Astoria four linger drink, but a gentleman's drink, for in Germany they take all day in which to get intoxicated, while in Astoria the job is usually done in 15 minutes and the remainder of the time 1 spent In remorse, trying to sober up. If you want a sandwich, either ham. cheese, sausage or any other kind, you drop in the price and out comes your lunch even Frankfurter and sauraut, the great German food of commerce, Is supplied by these machines. There are machines for all the small commodities needed and they are well patronized. American tourists enjoy sucking at the game, probably out of an Inherent passion for taking a chance In anything, whether for amusement or to win something for nothing. They are sometimes sur prised when they put a piece of money In the machine and it always pays. They have been accustomed, here in America to put their money In a ma chine or lay it down on a table and see the octupus hands of the man behind the table rake In the whole wad, and not Infrequently asking the loser to "take 8omethin'" In order to furnish a salve for the sore spots occasioned by being buncoed. Mr. Kaboth reports the German peo ple are the most contented and happy people on the earth. They enjoy their Sunday outings and their klinas or grosse schnaps, unj weinerwurst, and there 1 less drunkenness in Germany, and less crimes than in almost any other country in the world. They have good churches, good schoolhouses, and the society Is ele vating and refining. Sunday, by a large majority of the people, Is given to rest and recreation. All laws are scrupulously observed and are more strictly enforced than In the United States. Tou never hear of a young man going wrong by gambling his own and his employers' money. No one ever hears of a failure In business brought about through gambling. No men are out of employment because gambling is closed down, and Germany is as enlightened1 a the wide open, town advocates of Astoria. They have had experience and their laws are based upon that experience. the fighting powers of Igorotte war riors. Accordingly the dog flesh Is served only to the males, the fairer sex being denied the rare treat. Visitors to the centennial, however. need have no fear of witnessing bloodcurdling combat unless the Tort land police should become obstreper ous In the presence of the Igorottes. which would naturally result In a lively seance.

Revivalists Hold Meetings in Erick son's Saloon. The Evangelists operating in Port land do not confine their work to the churches, but Wednesday night they held a meeting at Erlckson's saloon In Ue Red Light district, which . waif) filled to overflowing. The bartenders served beer while the preachers spoke, and according to the Oregonlan, Erlck- son did a rushing business. Last night they held a meeting at Blazler's saloon, and so popular have the meetings become, that several oth er saloons have tendered the evang lists the us of thlr salons for revival meetings. If meetings could be held et the Waldorf and Louvre In Astoria there Is no doubt but both placed would be Ailed. THE SCHOONER KLOSE Wrecked and Cargo Has Been Pur chased by Martin Foard.

Gilliam spoke In part us follows: That unanswerable question. It Is a question that no man or woman without Jesus Christ will be able to answer. If it were possible for me to talk to the Invisible God and ask htm, I would ex pect to have Him say there' is no an swers to that question, I would ex pect Jesus to say there is no answer to that question. I would expect the angels that sing around the throne to move away, and say. there is no an swer to that question. How shall we escape. If we neglect so great salvation? Can you answer It? I claim that It Is the unknown God. Can you ansVer It? Some may say. I do not believe in hell. What has that got to do with It? I ask you If there is anything to escape from? First The greatness of God's sulva- tlon. There Is nothing In the world to compare with It, because It was pur chased by the blood of Jesus. He pur chased redemption for us and dipped the pen in his own precious blood nnJ signed our pardon. Second Because It Is free. If It was something hard to get hold of, men would work hard to get It. No min ister ever Vlleved more In the cross of Calvary than do I. If you should ak me if It Is all wrapped up lu the cross of Calvary, I would answer, no. lh you think that God sent His only Son, and suffered torture, with a crown of thron placed upon His head, and be scoffer at, for nothing. Did He want to see that scene enacted upon Calvary's hill. No., God hid His face and refused to look upon It. Do you think that God will hold man guiltless than makes of 100.000 from John D.

Mr. Beadle took possession of the lumber, most of which had already been loaded on cars for quick trans portation. He has placed a man there er love hath no man than he lay down his life for his friend. Over 1900 years ago Jesus laid down Ills life for His Friends. He died for us.

IGOROTTES SET SAIL. Native Filipinos Leave the Islands This Week for Portland. 'Two hundred Igorottes, Moros, Ne gritoes and Vlsayans will leave the Philippine islands this week, arriving In Portia inl the latter part of April, where they will proceed Immediately to the grounds of the Lewis and Clark exposition. These natives will populate the Philippine village on the govern ment peninsula at the exposition. Upon their arrival the construction of the Philippine village will be started at once. A feature of this will be a city of houses built on poles over the surface of Guild's lake. This Is char acteristic of the expedient resorted to by the natives to avoid reptiles and foes of similar kind. The city of pole bouses will be occupied by the Moros, . SCORES EVANGELISTS. Rev. W. S. Short Does Not Approve of Emotional Religion. Grace church was filled to overflow ing Wednesday nltjht to listen to an address by Rev. William Seymour Short, giving the reasons why he re fused to join the evangelistic work now going on in Astoria. Mr. Short said, "Enthusiasm and emotion can be arroused by any traveling crank, fool Knave or preacher. True Christianity ts riot temporary nor mere enthusl asm or emotion, but Is permanent life and habit. Home production an.! nnt. ronlzlng home Industries apply with special force to the question in hand, for we have at least 12 resident mln isters here, and they need the money; $50,000 la spent to sftid these evan gellsts to Portland. A traveling way farer can stir up more mischief in ten minutes than a resident minister can allay before the next traveler comes. Marine Notes.

Though your sins be like scarlet, they shall be white like wool. Second. It brings peace. Io you know what peuce means? If you go home tonight and lay down upon your bed and go to sleep, you have absolute ly no control over yourself. If your heart should cease to b'-at you would wake up In eternity, with ypur Maker, This salvation offers pcare. It offers pardon for the soul, nnd a pardon that enables man to go out In the world and live as God wishes him to live. There Is no other salvation. Jesus said. am the way, and the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father except by Me. If we neglect this only salva tion, how shall we escape All that a man has to do to be lost Is simply to neglect taking this salvation. All that Is necessary for you to do Is to lose the power you have got and you will be lost because of your neglect There Is no answer to this question. It Is an unanswerable question, but there Is a way to escape and that Is by taking Christ. There Is no excitement here tonight, no enthusiasm. It is for you to say.
