The Star Theatre was crowded to the doors last night to witness the all-round success of the Mack Swain Company in "The Little Minister," one of the prettiest of all the Scotch plays before tbe modern public. Cora King Swain, as the Lady Babbie, was the leading feature of the night and was thoroughly supported as was attested by the almost continuous ap plause while the curtain was aloft. The troupe is certainly making a strong hit in Astoria, and the comedy-drama of last night proved their unqualified right to a generous patronage.

Morning Astorian, 60 cents per montu The Morning Atorian takes pleas ure ui ri'piiAluatitf the letter below, knowing the wide spread Intercut Its readers have in Oregon's famous car toonist, lluouer Davenport, of whose whereabouts for the past several months there has been more or les conjecture! The following very interesting let ter has jii't been received by I B. Geer, from his nephew, Homer leaven port, the world famed cartoonist, who went to the great desert in search of Arabian horses of the purest strain. Nearly all Statesman readers know that Mr. Davenport is a Marion county boy and raised in the Waldo hills near Silverton. He is bringing over twenty odd horses, and he has accomplished what no other man ever did has gone from an alien land to the desert tribe and secured horse and brought them away with tha consent of the tribes that love their horses even as their own children. Following is the letter: "ALKPJ-O, Syria. Aug. 18, l!MMt.-My Dear Uncle Bye: I write to say that have just returned from the interior of the desert; that while thin and ragged I am well. The heat ran about 113 to 118 in the shade, but we stood it. I am tired from the auddle, but have as a reward the pick of all the desert trilte Something seems to guide me, a on meeting Akmut Ilaffez, the ruler of all the tribes, he went personally with me, and when the governor of Aleppo asked me bow many soldier I wanted, I told him none. So Haffej says that 1 brought smile instead of soldier to the Bedowen. Thus I won their heart and got horse and mare that no money could have bought. To this W hearted man I could not speak a word, still when I told him the stories of Silverton and of my mother and father, he told me thing that show nip that mnps only show the divisions of land and wa ter that the brotherhood of nian runs through all the race the world over. We rode nights over the desert even without a moon and they killed sheep and we ate all day. "I am anxious to get out of this old citv. The filth is awful. The streets are jut wide enough to let one car riage down a street, so when they meet someone has to back to the closest cross street. We are hoping to ewape the 'Aleppo button,' a 'ie that comes on the face of every one. Nothing can cure it and no medical study has revealed its cause. It lasts about a year, then it disappears, leaving a white scar that is called the 'Aleppo button.' "Hope to start the horses and mares tomorrow night for Beirut, 200 miles, and once there I will ship to Naples; thence to America. "Of course I haven't had any news from any part of Europe for a month. There are no newspapers published here, though it is a place of two hun dred and fifty thousand people. "I notice lots of gazelles pets in vacant lots and the hyenas come to the very edge of the town to dig into graves; camel graves In particular. "The governor of Aleppo lias just made me another present; a 2-year-old stud colt, the finest I have seen. He came from the Oomusa tribe. lie is bay, nearly fifteen hands high now. "The heat is making me pant in this house they call a hotel, and I'll quit till I get to America. "Give my love to everybody in the hills. HOMER DAVENPORT."
