A banquet and program will form the principal features of the. entertainment. HONORED HERE ALSO- Death of A. G, Barker, the Popular Railway Representative. ' YeHlerday' Oregorilim brought the following and Iriieliigcrii'e, which I sincerely deplored by horclred of A lorlnrm who have kiiown and appro elated Mr. Harker for year: "A. i, li.irkor, Hnltunt general agent of the Chicago & jNorlhweHtcrn Hall way, died ut midnight, at hi home, 710 Klarclori Hr-.-t, of pneumonia. Mi. Darker hud been ill only lnco Friday. He leave a wife arid a grown daugh ter. The arrangement for tho funer al will be announced later. Hurlal will bo In Portland, where Mr. Darker ha lived for the pant IS year. "Few official of Kallroad Row had more friend than Mr. Darker. Ife had t;ie reaped and the affection of all who knew him. During a long con nection with the road he reproented he had galrn-d an extei,Mlve acquaint ance In all part of tho atate. Nowhere wa he moro highly eteemed than In Portland, where ho wa bet known. Ho audden wa Mr. Darker' lllne that but a f,-w of hi friend had learned of hi erlou condition. The new of hi death will prove a ahock to a large number In the tranxporta tlon bulnex, u well a to many In other vocation," He Got Telegram He had not been married very long and wa get ting along happily, when the pleasant tenor of hi life wa warped by the receipt of a telegram from hi war llko mother-in-law, announcing her arrival on a certain train. He met her dutifully; and tarried her load of bun dle up homo, amlllng, but vengeful, and aire no aooner got there than ahe aaMumed entire command of the estab llNhment, Including herself. He bent every faculty to devising way and mean of ousting her and at last ekll fully paints himself to a life-like Im age of a fimall-pox patient; goes to bed and the scheme work like a charm. For lifelike detail of the story, see tho new niovlng-plcture film at the Waldorf. tf The Roy Fox Hearing Yesterday af ternoon District Attorney J. A. Eakln desired to bring the matter of the pre liminary hearing of C. Roy Fox be fore Justice P. J. Goodman, but the absence of Sheriff Pomcroy up the river on official business, coupled with the desire of Fox to first hear from hl family In the matter of his defense and the employment of his attorney, precluded tho hearing yesterday. At torney G. C. Fulton was seen by a reporter of the ARtorlan yesterday, and that gentleman said that he had sim ply been written to by the father of young Fox asking him to take charge of the boy's case and to name his fee In the premise, to which he had sent an affirmative answer as to tak ing the case and naming a fee In re lation therto, after consulting with the prisoner, and that he had, as yet, received no answer accepting bis terms. The matter stands thus, but Is likely to eventuate definitely today or tomorrow, at farthest. Conumdrum of the Hour! How did It come about that Hon. Martin Foard, prize-Judge at the masquerade ball given by the Sons of Hermann on Sat urday night last, get tho "Goddess of Liberty" mixed up with the "mother of her country,' Martha Washington?" Of courso the hour was, approximate ly, late for him, and the hospitality of the German clansmen abundant and very refreshing, but that does not ac count for the mtx-up and explanations are duo nn anxious public almost on the verge of hysteria by reason of the unfathomable mistake. Orders in Probate Judge Trenchard presiding In probate court yesterday, made the following orders: In the mat ter of the guardianship of the person and estate of Frederick C. Thomas, a minor, permitting C. S Brown, guar dlan, to sell certain realty belonging to the estate. In the matter of the estate of Martin Poulsen, deceased, the semi-annual account of Ludwlg Lar son, administrator, was approved and ordered to the record. Query, and Answer ."Editor Astor lan: Kindly, through your paper, set tle a dispute: Does the Southern Pa cific control the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern Railway, also?" No, It neither controls, nor affiliates with either of the Northern roads, save on a basis of Interchange of business. The two northern lines are amalga mated under the control of James J. Hill; the Southern Pacific Is the prin cipal factor of the E. H. Harrlman system of railways In the West.
