WEDNESDAY, MARCH II, IMS. THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA OREGON. .1 PORTLAND WETS latest Quotations In the Portland i Market ' Complete Market Reports Corrected Each Day Giving the Wbolmlt Prices of Commodities, Farm Produce, and Vegetables. ) PORTLAND, March 17. -Carload arrival from the South today con lilted of two can of orangei and one , of mixed vegetable!,' Yesterday a car of iwect potatoes came in and tlili probably waa the last car of thlt com modity to be brought here thii sea aon. Among today's receipts was also a consignment of rhubarb from Cali fornia, which Is now more plentiful than heretofore and selling at a lower price, 8c a pound. Vegetables and fruit prices general ly underwent no chnnge today and the market was inclined to be dull. The demand in most lines was light and the volume of trading small. Oranges,' however, are rather active and the supply f this fruit for the present la adequate. Apples sell In a steady way and dealers say the mar ket Is perceptibly Improving as the season advance. It Is quite likely that there will be a slight advance in prices within a short time. In the fresh meat market condi tions today were a duplicate of those of yesterday. Poultry receipts were light and the demand was far from active, and the same was true of pork. Veal seems to be weakening, owing to larger ar rivals and too great a proportion of inferior stock, but last week's prices are still in force. The butter market was unchanged, and eggs were weak at yesterday's quotations. Grain, Flour. Feed.

New York society in the past has provided many wierd and wonderful entertainments to the edification of the country in general. There have been monkey dinners, dog suppers, doll baby suppers and innumerable other functions of the same sort until it seemed as, if the limit must have been reached. But now one more fad, perhaps the strangest of them all has been added to the list the Bath Breakfast. The first event of this sort ever given here took place this week when thirty of New York's society women garbed in bath robes and kimonas attended a function in which a Turkish bath and a plunge were the novel features with break fast served between dips. That New York society is in need of a cleans ing physically through the medium of aditional ablutions is one charge which has never been made against it, and consequently the bath break fast must be regarded not as an effort at the virtue ranked next to godliness but merely an attempt to invent some new form of intertainment. Like all its predecessors this new form of amusement is likely to pall on the jaded society palates of New York's 400 to give, way in turn to something new.

CRITICISM HEAPED ON HIM "In the East I Would Have Been Stoned and Put in Jail In the West the People Came to My Aid and Helped Me Out." He Said. . SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 17.-Jere Knode Cooke, the unfrocked pastor of St. George's Church, Hempstead, L. I, who eloped about a year ago with i'loretta Whaley and who under the name of Balcon is now occupying a flat on the outskirts of this city, with the girl and their baby, told the following story of his life to-day: "My parents died when I was very young, but young as I was, I remem ber distinctly my mother making me promise to enter the ministry. As I grew older the calling appealed to me more and more and I decided to enter the church. I was adopted by a man named Cooke, whom I looked upon aa an uncle, and attended the public schools. When I waa 16 years of age I was apprenticed to a painter and decorator, and there I learned the trade which I am now following. The little I earned I saved and event ually had enough to allow me to enter Yale Life was an uphill struggle then. I had to work my way through college and on graduation was ap pointed curate of a church in Balti more "While there I met and married the women the law calls my wife.. There I made my first big mistake. Phy sical reasons forbade her marrying, and when, three days after our wed ding, she coldly informed me that she had married me simply as a stepping stone to social success and that she saw in me one who was going to rise. I recognized the bitterness of my lot "From Baltimore I was appointed rector of St George's Church in Hempstead, L. I. The position was a good one and one that highly pleas ed my wife. She had there an op portunity to further her social aims and it was pleasing to me also, in as much as it waa in accord with my personal ambition to succeed. "As a rector of St George's I met Florette Whaley. She was a mere child then and grew under my eyes. I always regarded her as a child until one day I awoke to the fact that she was a woman and that I loved her. At this stage I might say that, though sixteen years of age, Floretta Whaley was one of the type that matures early her orphan life and surround ings had made her remarkably pre cocious, even as a child, and at eigh teen she was in her womanhood. I say this in the face of the criticism heaped on me in regard to the elop ing with one so young. "I wish it to be remembered that at this time I was at the height of my success. The near future promised for me all the sacerdetal world had to offer. I threw aside everything and took the girl. "I knew exactly what the payment would be. I knew the storm that would follow. I knew I became a criminal. I knew it all, and I did it." "Here in San Francisco I learned the difference between the East and West. In the East I would have been stoned and put in jail; in' the West people came to my aid to help me out They understood that I had only one course to pursue and that was to stick to the mother of my child. I expected a hounding and instead I received nothing but kind ness and offers. "And now all I ask is to be -allowed to live my life not as Jere Knode Cooke, unfrocked pastor of St George's Church, but as Jere Balcon, painter and decorator, who draws a week's wages for a week's work." a. .r Have You Seen The Wash?
