RAN FALL IS HEAVY Closing Scenes at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. ASTORIA PEOPLE ARE HOME Thousand! of People Waded Around in Water Ankle Deep, and Enjoyed Themselves Exciting Scenes in For eign Building Commercial Success. Correctly speaking, the Lewis and Clark exposition did not end in a blaw of glory 011 Saturday evening. But that wa not the fault of the manage ment. Jupiter Pluvius baa a way of knocking plan endwise on some occa sions and Jupiter wa putting in his best licks on Saturday evening. Aa a matter of fact he was working over time and probably drawing price and a half for hi efforts. If not he will prob ably receive a call from the walking delegate of hi union, A number of people who went up from Astoria to witness the closing scenes of the fair returned to their homes yes terday. In the steady downpour that existed from early in the evening until after midnight some of them remained on the grounds and white many are wil ling to admit that they were foolish for doing so, all unite in saying that it wra worth the sacrifice just to see how other iteople acted. On the trail canvasi had been hung up over the walk so a to keep aa much a posihl of the rain from reach ing the atreet. Nome of the moisture was held in mid air by the canvass, but the greater art of it reached the earth ami in mini and moisture that came slsive the ankles in places, men, women and chfldren sloslied around, shouted. laughed and sung and tried to make1 themselves believe that they were hav ing the time of their lives. And in a way they prolwbly were enjoying them selves. It take very little to please some ieople. At the same time scene of confusion were being enacted in other sections of the eXNsition, but perhaps the maddest and most confusing of all were those in the foreign building. Thousands of people had admired he many beautiful article on exhibition in that building and somehow the im pression bad gone out that on the clos ing night these article would be sold dispwed of for a song. That and the rain falling outside accounted for the large throng that congregated in the building on Saturday evening. Good in the foreign exhibit were not being dis poned of for a song however, as eople soon learned. They made Inquiries at booth after booth in their search for bargains, that were not to lie had and still they walked from one place to another, jostling each other, all the time looking for the bargains that were not to lie found. And through it all they were good natured. The hour for closing arrived and still the people hung around the building. Scores of guard were brought in and herculean effort were made to drive out the bargain hunters, but the people moved about from one section of the building to another and it was long after midnight before the big structure was finally emptied. Notwithstanding the ceaseless down pour of rain the display of Are works were good and thousand of people stood out in the moisture to witness them. The total number of adinlsjons dur ing the season of the fair was 2.545,509 and on the closing day 50,1)00 people visited the ground. The number of people who attended the fair far ex ceeded the most sanguine expectations of the supporters of the fair. From both a commercial and a finan cial standpoint the fair was certainly success. Full of Tragic Meaning. are these lines from J. It Simmons, of Casey, la.

One of the employes of the Occident barber shop started to clean out a bath tub Saturday night and there be found a dead eraflh, with a piece of sea weed firmly clasped in one claw. On this ea weed there were a number of pe culiar mark. An old salt who examin ed the marka unhesitatingly declared that they represented some communica tion in crab writing. Procuring a micro scope he sat down before the piece of sea weed and an hour later he brought the result of bis investigations to tne Astorian office. Here it is: Career of a Crawfish. Friday, Oct. 13. It has been an un lucky day for me. I'u to this time my life has be n lit in the- iieaeeful water of the Columbia river with noth ing to disturb the monotony of exist ence except an occasional roar from the Imr, when it was displease-! with things said by the Oregonian. Hut today I wa picked up by a lolmter named Clinton and carried away from my hap py' home. But I'll have revenge. Ill keep a diary. Kvery thing on land seem new and strange to me. Of course I had read a great deal a lout these thing in a Crahville daily paper with a hyphen- ted name; but reading about these things and seeing them is so different My captor took me into a barber shop where be had gone and stood the bar ber off for the price of manicuring his face. The barber growled a little and that made Clinton sore, for be thinks that because he has charge of the cir culation of a newspaper that he amounts to something. Before leaving he drop ped be into the pocket of the barber, whose name was Peterson. But Pet erson was good to me. When he found me be took me out of hia pocket and placed me in water and I wa happy once more. But my happiness was of short duration. One of the other em ployee of the shop took me out of the water and put me In the coat pocket of a man named Flynn. Bay, that fel low i a bundle of nerves. He did not discover me until he was seated at the dinner table. Then he happened to place hi hand in hia pocket -1 was growing a little hungry and there in the dark ness I though that I was being fed. 1 nipped a finger and then the yell that fellow let out would make a siren whistle jealous. At the same time he jumped to hi feet and the table went over. I don't know how many dishes were broken. I was a little bit excited myself by that time. October 14. I wonder what they will do with me next? Flynn brought me back here hist evening and I was placed in water during the night. But today I have been taken out twice and placed in the pocket of men who came into the shop. But they always bring me back. My captor of yesterday dropped in to dial 1 or a moment and l was placed in his pocket; but be discovered me a soon as he reached the street and brought me back again and placed me in the pocket of another man. I am hack in the water again and the day i drawing to a close. No one. has been thoughtful enough to feed me and I am very hungry. In addition to this a ter rible foreboding hangs over me and I can not shake it off. I wish I waa back in the Columbia river. Clinton has just come into the place and ordered a bath and I heard one of the men whisper to another, "we'll get even with him now." I have been taken from my resting place and put jn a bath tub. Some body lias turned on the water and it fecit warm. As the water continues to flow it grows wanner. I am growing uncomfortable. My feelers begin to stiffen. Oh, heaven Wanted a Confidence Kyard. Del Scully is telling a new story. This is the way he dishes it out: Two colored poker player were fram ing up a little deal by which they ex pected to relieve an unsuspecting third party of his surplus cash. "Now, 1'se gwine to le de dealah," ex plained one. "De gemman what am flush he am to sit on mah right. The othah fellah, he gwine to face me and you am to ait on mah left. "Ah deals mah fricn' wi de wad foah queens. lie man what faces me he am to receibe foah jacks, an' ahm going to deal to you foah kings, dealin' to mah se'f an ace full." The other coon nodded hi head and loked perplexed for a moment, endeav oring to grasp the situation. "Doan that sound right to you J asked the fellow who wa going to do the dealing. "Oh, ya-as," said hi friend, "dat am puffickly squah; but doan' you think you had bettah deal me one of dein aces fo' a confidence kyard t" Why suffer with tiredness, mean, cross feeling, no strength, no appetite!

A couple of newspaper men of this city, yesterday morning took ai'aatage of the exquisite October sunshine and the less vigorous demand on their time by reason of its being Sunday, and by way of relaxation, turned their backs upon the city, climbing the backbone of the peninsula and sauntered down into the peaceful precinct that fringe the eastern shore of Young's Bay. The hills bed shed the rsins of the night before and the grasses on the heights were dry; the beautiful valleys of Young's river ami Lewis and Clark riv er nestling placidly below the giant height of Saddle mountain and the neighboring Coast range crest, present ed a picture of quietude and loveliness in the shifting Octolier light, very al luring to the tired eye of men eon- fronted, dally and hourly with far lew. agreeable scenes; the bay itself, shim mered in the floot! of the moving tide, idly mirroring the broken fragment of cloud that drifted slowly above it. The air wa balm itself to nerves attuned to the high tension and important events and the stillness of the hour supremely refreshing, in contradiction to- the fev erish uproar of the busy town they had deserted; the browsing cattle and sheep viewed the invasion of their habitat with friendly eye and the very dogs of the bay-side homes, yielded comrade like reception to the scribes;' the wand erer wandered aimlessly along the tide-reach and talked of anything and everything but "shop"; the open coun try, the water-side, the rugged hills; all inspired thoughts of their own boy hood days, and yarn after yarn of that jolly era were interchanged; they skip ped stones over the shining water, pow wowed with every kid they met, inspect ed every way-side garden, rambled through the Ericsson nurseries, drank spring water wherever they found it watched the flight of aea and land birds, and, just as evry wearisome, trite and unkindly thing had been forgotten, they found themselves confronted with a too- suggestive street ear, and grudgingly, relinquished the pastoral pleasures they had been enjoying, and hastened back to their posts and exacting duties.
