Tan Psyere Meeting The tax payers meeting at the Phlve ley school last evening was graced by a very small portion of the taxpayers. The Rhnol Board was Instructed to borrow 120,000 or any part of It that they may ned to enry out the opera tions they have In mind. Made Ample Retume The pleasant Intelligence was filed at this office last evening, by one In authority, that the performance ren dered by the pupils of the Taylor school, on Friday night last, at the Buoml hall In Vnlontown, had netted the school just 1105, on the piano- fund. At The Theater- Last evening, for the first time In Astoria, the Hoard-Dorst Block Company presented their, eierudat Ingly, funny comedy entitled "Chrlsto pher Jr." It Is one of the best som edys en at the Astoria this year and waa extremely well Interpreted. The members as a whole are above the average for an organisation of this kind and certainly do their bet at all Urn. Mr. Oeorge B. Howard In the title role was screamingly ludicrous and his many haps and mishaps do lighted the audience beyond descrip tion. Betty Johnson a Nellie Colt hared the honors with the star and played her part with rare grsc and perception. The !ly and the actors pleased the audience and In turn It ex preened Its appreciation with generous applause. The play will be 'given the rest of the week.

Though not entirely unexpected, the news of the death of Thomas Fannon' at his homo, No. 371 Kxchntige street, at a III tl past t o'clock yesterday af ternoon came as a distinct shock to his multitude of ftiftids In this city, whr he bus been an honored resi dent for many long ywir. He died of snurlm of the stomuch, and hae been very feeble for the past few wnk. Ills age whs' "it years, and his tory records for him that not many of those years were wasted, but full of virile energy, and largely devoid to the safety and welfare of his country, as ho was a soldier In the federal army for nearly half the period allotted to him. He wan a veteran of th Sornlnnle wars and of the civil conflict In the Sixties, and was an honored member of Cuehing Post, O. A. It. of this city, which organisation 1ms assumed the honors of burial. Just when the fu neral will take place has not yet been determined, but It will probably trans plre tomorrow, and Is certain to be largely attended by the hosts who have known him here so long. Announce. merit will be made In the Astorlan of tomorrow as to the precise hour and place of the ceremonies' and sepulture. He leaves a venerable widow, two dmiKhters and one son to mourn hi demise, beside many a living comrade and friend who hue served with, or known him Intimately, and to his hon or, through his long and useful career. NOT THE MAN. Klamath Party Think He Knew Th Man Killed By Captain Fert Word comes from Klamath Falla that T. O. Hague of Klamath Falls, formerly of New York ,1s of the opin ion that George Fisher, who was killed by Captain C. M. Forest, whose trial has Just .taken place at Astoria, was employed by him on a farm distant about forty miles from New York City, four years ago. If the man killed by the ship captain was the same whom Mr. Hague employed he waa regarded by his former employer as a danger ous man, and while employed on the New York farm caused the death of a number of valuable anmlala .Including horses, cattle and an Imported St Ber. nard dog by polnonlng. The dog waa the property of Mrs. R. O. Pun. of New York City, and was purchased In Italy, The dg developed a pronounced dls- like for the George Fisher whom Mr. Hague employed, and the man retali ated by poisoning the animal. Mr. Hugue describes the man as having been a native of England, stout, and who would have been about 42 years of age at the time of his death, If he were the same man who was shot by the ship's officer. But, unless Fisher hud changed most radically since the time alluded to by Mr. Hague, he Is not the man alluded to. George Fish er, the man who was here, whs1 tall, cadaverous, dark and elnlster looking and not over J5 years of ago. V.

The sudden death of Mrs. Julia In- aeln. at St. Mary's hospital on Monday last and heralded in these columns yesterday morning, leaves a sad story In Its wake. The poor mother died bringing Into the world a little son, and this three-day old Infant, along with Its two little brothers-, Albert and Edward, hae been duly committed, by Judge C. J, Tronthard, to the Boys & Girls' Aid Society, because the strick en father of the children, Is unable, for the time being, at least, to proper- ly.care for them, and has begged the Intervention of t'.ie law to provide a good and temporary home for them, un til he can collect enough about him to bring thorn back and make them com fortable and happy. Carl Inscla, the father, la a young, Intelligent, mechanic, of good habits, and earnest purposes, and kris been quite unfortunate In the way Q family sickness since he reached Astoria last" fall; and has the sympathy of all who have come In contact with him dur ing his stay here with his family. v To Raise Corona The Oregonlan says that John H. Peterson, Is In San Francisco negotia ting for the wreck of the steamer Cor. ona just aa she lies In the entrance of Humboldt Bay.

Supposing every man in a community was slovenly and un tidy, what kind of a city would grow up there? It may be the very natural desire to be in the lead that prompts the more progressive element to forge ahead. Is it not a laudable ambition For Smith to !5ay: "I Built the Finest House in Oregon, Here" For Jone? to Say: "I Raise the Finest Stock in Oregon, Here" For Brown to Say: "We have the Loveliest Women in Oregon, Here. My Ambition Is to have the "Most Up-to-date" Clothing Establishment in Oregon, here in Astoria. Let those who are built the wrong way criticise.

Finnish Amalgamation - The three grand lodges of the three great Finn fraternities of the country, which have been In composite session here for the pas ten days, have about reached a definite basis' for amalga mation and met at Logan's Hall last evening to perfect the details of the fusion. Just what these details were, is of course, a matter of secrecy as yet, and It will take another week of convention to round out the fullness of the merger. 'And the new grand offi cers of the unified order are yet to be chosen, but the principal Issue among them Is laid and the work for which they came for all over the country Is assuredly done and well done. It Is said they will be constituted under the name of style of the "Finns of Ameri ca," and the re-organlzation stands for over ten thousand good men of that nationality.
