What the Gossipe Did A atory comes
up from I nioniown 01 a anaucreu
dream of connubial hli; the and con-
acijnence of an over-indulgence in idle
goip, It Hix-ma that a wedding was to
have come off in that neighborhood on
Friday afternoon, between a handsome
widow, with but nine children, and a
good-looking widower with live, and
the aixtoen heart were oon to have
beat aa one. (But eixteen to one always
)n Wen beaten). The wedding feaat
wn prepared, the. gueHt had assembled,
congratulation and felicitationa were
rife all over the house and ground, and
the bell were, relatively, pealing the
echoc of happiness on nil sides. Then
tha gossips got in their deadly work
and the groom was the subject j they
jtoKl everything they knew, mirmisod,
guessed, had heard, and thought, ought
to be so, and the ear of the prospective
bride was the one in which they poured
the deluge of their accumulated and
immoral horrors until the sheer force
of numbers and the constant reiteration
of the groom's impossibly bad record,
ns then and there rehearsed, overcame
the abundance of her love for him and
she gathered her children and fled, re
fusing to hear a word of protest or
exculpation. And the gossips ate the
dinner, and gossipped the more.

THE BEST Is HAT IN THE
WORLD.
It is the fashion nowadays for every mother'a son of a clothing dealer to
claim that "HE" is the only favored one who carries the "BEST" clothes.
Do you, Mr. Customer, believe that ONE factory, makea all the good
clothes in America.
Indeed, some factories who were the ones, but a few years ago, have de
generated and new men, young men, men of nerve, of ambition and of pride
have grasped the reins and the M and S or the X and Y Brands of former
years, are passed NOW!
Today, new people are to the fore, tomorrow too will be brushed aside, by
younger, more vigorous men with newer ideas and so the world has, does and
ever will, move on.
The question thererore Is: which one of your local clothiers is the most
aggressive, the most up-to-date one; who is it that will take up new ideas,
new makes FIRST?
When you have answered that question, then you can safely decide as to
who "DOES" come nearest to that ideal.
"Don't judge a firm by its pretensions."
"Judge a clothier as you would a preacher."
"A doctor, a. lawyer, a mechanic, etc."
"Judge every man or firm by the
"MAN BEHIND THE GOODS."

. Superintendent J, II. Thatcher, of the
Pacific State Telephone 4 Telegraph
Company .arrived in the city yesterday,
from Port la ml, to confer with the city
oflieials and other, in relation to the
re-organization of the company's plant
and service in this, city; and while here,
he closed a negotiation with the
officials of the Astoria Saving Hank,
for a ten-year lease of the rear, ground,
floor room and cement cellar space be
neath, in their new bank building at
Eleventh and lhiane street. Mr.
Thatcher Is peculiarly pleased with the
consummation of thi lease, as it will
give hi company very choice and con
venient business quarters in the heart
of tlie city. Tliis step is to be followed
within the next sixty days, by the in
auguration of the by work of install
ing the new central-energy plant in thi
city, which, when completed, will put
Astoria on a par with Salem, now the
bet equipped telephonic center In the
state, All wires are to be cabled under
ground that can possibly be put there,
and such as must lie strung overhead
will be cabled there, thus reducing to a
minimum, the open wires of the city.

himself today at the afternoon matinee

will see t1x new equipment established
here, and w ill do all in his power to ex
pedite it. Jf the company keeps its
promise Astoria aa faithfully as it did
fn the people of Salem, Astoria's, will
be glad of the patience they have exer
cised. It is a huge bit of work to alter
and enlarge a detailed service such as
this, and time Is required? time requires
jiatience, and atience i generally re
warded. It wa, in the Capital City;
mud it will be here, without doubt. Ask
ed in relation to the entry of a compet
ing company In this field, Mr. Thatcher
said he had beard such a project was
on foot, but that it would have no
effect on the plan and purposes of the
Pacific States people, and that they
would be carried out, despite all and
every element of competition; it was
for the people of Astoria to decide,
through its organic body, whether or
not they desired to have two companies
here; and if only one company, it still
remained with them to say which it
should tie. Mr. Thatcher will spend to
diiy with friend at Seaside returning
to the metropolis tomorrow.
Ia Totally False The statement which
appeared in a certain weekly newspaper
published i this city, wherein W. T.
Scholficld is asserted to have purchased
property in Tillamook and would short

by Mr. Scholfleld. Said he: "I have
no intention of moving to Tillamook,
and any reports to the contrary are
absolutely untrue."
