Working and Repairing
The immense plant of the North
Pacific Brewing Company, on East
Exchange street, is stil the scene of
a big line of repairs incident to the
late fire that raged there. The plant
is in full operation, despite the fact
that carpenters, plumbers and ma
chine men are swarming all over it,
and the company is using a number
of expedients in the necessitous ele
ments of its manufacturing which,
while they are crude and expensive,
serve their purpose excellently until
the regular methods and appliances
may be resorted to. It will be some
weeks, before the engines, main and
auxilliary, will be in full service, and
the ereat vats on the upper floors
are kept cool by huge masses of ice
blocked up all around them, vice the
fine refrigerating plant now off duty
as a result of the recent blaze. Man
ager Schmpff is taking good care
that the daily average output con
sonant with the annual average of 25,
000 barrels, is not permitted to de
plete by a single barrel, in spite of
cost and inconvenience.

St. Aldemar Commandery No. 11,
Grand Commandery of Knights Tem
plar, of Oregon, was instituted in this
city yesterday, the warrant for its
organization having been issued to
Dr. Jay Tuttlc, Rccs Thompson and
If. L. Henderson some time since.
The beautiful and profoundly in
structive ritualistic work incident to
the investiture of these eminent de
grees in Masonry, is always confided
to the hands of the Grand Command

officers, and in obedience to his law
there arrived in this city on the noon

eral; W. E. Grace, Prelate; J. F. Rob
inson, Grand Recorder; E. F. Mason
and L. C. Marshall, Fast Grand
Commanders, and Frederick Wcath
erford, Templar Errant.
There has been a group (now num
bering in the neighborhood of twen
ty) forming for some time in this
behalf, in this city, and these gentle
men had perfected all the necessary
rrangements for the important occa
sion, including the leasing of what
will be known in the future as "Com
mandery Hall," the large and hand
some quarters over the store of Her
man Wise, and in that sanctuary the
work of the day was done yesterday
tternoon and evening, a superb ban
quet supper being served the grand
officers and the noviates between the
two services of the day.
The first men upon whom the
great degrees were conferred yester
day constitute the official staff of the
new commandery, and to them will
be entrusted the passing of the hon
ors to their fellows. St. Aldemar's
official roster is as follows:
Eminent Commanded Jay Tuttlc.
Generalissimo Recs Thomas.
Captain General O. I. Peterson.
In due time the rest of the aspir
ants fo'r these high and honorable de
grees will be gratified and then the
new commandery will be finally
a-foot'in the upper walks of the
world-wide and splendid fraternity.
The distinguished visitors will return
to their homes and offices on this
morning's express.
Mra. Elizabeth CaUender Dead-
Mrs. Elizabeth Callender, of Se
attle, died yesterday. She was a sis
ter of Robert Carruthers and is was
to him that word came of her death.
She was a pioneer of the State of
Washington, having crossed the
plains with her parents when a child.
She has been ill some time and her
death was not altogether unexpected.
Besides two daughters, who were
with her when she died, she leaves
two brothers and four sisters: Rob
ert Carruthers of this city; W. A.
Carruthers of Bay Center; Mrs.
Harry Wood of Astoria; Mrs. Hunt
er of Ilwaco; Mrs. Malcomb, and

A DOCUMENTARY STANDARD.
A petition containing the names
of .1788 voters of the Second Con
gressional District of Oregon, and
sponsoring the candidacy of George
S. Shepherd, of Portland, for Rep
resentative in- Congress, was just
three times as numerously signed as
the law required it to be, and this
may be taken as an indication of the
wide ranee of interest taken in his
honorable aspiration by his friends
over the district. It is probably the
largest document of the sort filed
this year. Mr. .Shepherd is working
quietly and sagaciously and as be
comes a man in pursuit of such a dig
nity, and if he shall receive the nomi

-WHAT WOMEN WILL DO."
It is not a very far cry from
Charles Dickens to melodrama when
you come to think of it, and there
need be no surprise consequently
upon the announcement that "What
Women Will Do," which comes to
the Astoria theater Sunday, March
29, is based upon the story of David
Copperfield. Wilkins-Micawber, Rosa
Dottle, Emily, Peggotty and Uriah
Heap will be the leading characters.
The play as announced is one of the
novelties of the season, possessing
both strength and interest. ,The
scenic effects are elaborate in the
extreme. The comedy element in
troduced by the Micawber family, es
pecially the two oldest children, Wil
kins, Jr., and Ella, is excruciatingly
funny, and elicits applause of laugh
ter at every performance.
"THE BURGOMASTER."
Gus Weinburg and dainty Ruth
White will head the big revival of
"The Burgomaster," which William
P .Cullen wil present tonight at the
Astoria - theater. These, two clever
people are the originals in the roles
of Peter Stuyvesant, Governor of
New Amsterdam, who sleeps for '200
years and awakes to find himeslf in
modern New York, and ot Wiuie,
the gilded youth, who essays to
BE
show him around the town. The cos
tumes for the revival are' all new,
and are the handsomest, it is said,
of any comic opera now touring. The
scenery is all new, some of the scenes
having been changed. "The Burgo
master" was the first of the Pixley
and Luder's popular successes to gain
favor. It is in a class with Robin
Hood" and "The Prince of Pilsen'
for tunefulness and many of the num
bers have come to be known as clas
sic- "The Tale of the Kangaroo,"
"I Love You," the famous Indian
chorus, the Rainy Daisies, and other
songs have a lilt that sends the audi
tor from the theater whistling mer
rily. Miss White has written a new
song which experts claim will be a
large seller. It is entitled "How
Many Have You Told That To?"
The chorus, which is a very large
one, has been selected especially for
its singing and dancing ability. Mr.
Cullen will be remembered as the
producer of "The Burgomaster" and
"The Tenderfoot."
