Revisiting Astoria
J. I). Southcrland, of Portland, is
quietly enjoying a visit here, with his
daughter Mrs, Paul Badollct, at the
Commercial street home, and ming
ling with the host of old-time friends
who arc clad to greet him again lie
has many keen and trenchant
I memories of the olden days of As
toria and tells the best of the old
stories in delightful fashion insepa
rable from the advantage of having
shared in the circumstances related.
He will be here for some time yet.
Special Call Issued
County Judge Tremhard has issued
a call for the convening of the Cct'nty
Court for Saturday, May 23rd, to take
cognizance of the writ of mandamus
issued out of Judge Mc Bride's court,
in the matter of the local option cases
in this city; this being in accord with
the statute prescribing ten days' no
tice for the convention of the county
court in special session. The order of
the circuit court is construed to be
of minor effect to the provision of the
code; and the court is proceeding up
on this hypothesis.
In Formal Session
The Oregon State Board of Pilots
met in this city yesterday in regular
session for the month of May. Com
missioners F. J. Taylor, A. V. Pen
dleton and Sylvester Farrel, being
present. There was only routine busi
ness transacted. Commissioner Pen
dleton reports that he has the State
schooner "San Jose" in fine condition
for sea, and that she will be brought
around from Young's Bay when the
bar pilot boat Joseph Pulitzer enters
port again.
Court Did Not Meet
The County Court of Clatsop
county did not meet yesterday, despite
the fact and service of the peremptory
writ of mandamus commanding it to
do so forthwith for the purpose of
ordering an election for local option
purposes in precincts 2 and 3 of this
city, emanating from the circuit court
chambers of Hon. Thomas A. Mc
Bridc, at Oregon City. The court is
relying upon the statute that says no
special session of the county court
may be had without 10 days' notice in
that behalf And in this relation, it is
said that the attorney for the local
optionists, J. A. F.akin, declines to
prepare an answer in contravention

of the motion to quash the writ allud
ed to, and wtl confine himself to
pleading the fact of the County Court
being in contempt of Judge McBride's
order, and rest on thai presentation.
The lawyers interested 'in the matter
left for Oregon City on last night's
express and the matter will be sub
mitted there this afternoon.
In the Police Court
The police had five complaints to
present his honor Judge Anderson
yesterday afternoon and three of
those forfeited their bail by not ap
pearing. The other two pleaded not
guilty to the charges of vagrancy and
disorderly conduct respectively but
the evidence given by the officers and
witnesses for the prosecution satisfied
the court of their guilt. The gentle
man "vag" was fined $40 or 20 days
and the disturber of the peace of
the city of Astoria was assessed $30
or IS days.
Distinguished Visitors-
All Chinatown is agog with pleas
urable excitement, in the entertaining
of several distinguished visitors from
San Francisco and Portland. The
travelers are not merchants of both
cities and hold some prominent office
in the fraternal world of Pacific Coast
Chinamen. They leave today for other
fields of peculiar interest to them. It
is rumored that one of them, the old
est and fattest, is a millionaire and a
man of extraordinary Influence in
Chinese affairs in America; but the
Astorian's informant is backard about
names and dignities.

composed of Messrs. Earle Clark,
Robert McLean and Allen Hughes,
was out yesterday intervening the
merchants of the city, on the score of
closing the business houses of As
toria on "Battleship Day," May 20,
and last evening had secured the sig
natures of 40 of the merchants pledg
ing themselves to "shut up shop" on
that day, and the young men expect
to get the last dealer in the city by
sundown this evening. All of which
is good news.
Back From Maine
Captain H. A. Matthews, the well
known ex-bar pilot of this city, who
has been absent for the past five
months on a visit to his old home
stead in distant Maine, and other
points in the East, returned to the
city yesterday, and was kept busy
shaking hands with scores of friends
and old shipmates who were glad to
see him looking well and hearty again
after his protracted absence. Captain
Matthews docs not know just what he
will do as yet, and will take his time
in formulating his plans for the
future. H looks as if his trip had
done him a world of good. Mrs.
Matthews who went East with him
returned home some time ago.
A Successful Affair
Manager Buffum's special reception
at the laying of the cornerstone of the
first home erected in this city by the
Banking, Savings & Loan Association
at 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon, was
a sheer success and was enjoyed by
all guests who were able to be pres
ent and they were many. There were
clever and appropriate addresses
made by Mayor Wise, Mr. Buffum,
Dr. Ball, G. Wingate and Secretary
Whyte of the Chamber of Commerce
and others, all in explanation of the
purposes and plans of the Associa
tion and in friendly support of the
famous slogan of the concern, "Own
Your Own -Home." Light refresh
ments were served at the instance of
the genial manager and the whole
affair was voted one of the most suc

"The Jewel" Opened
Last night "The Jewel" theatre was
opened in its new location which is
on Commercial street next door to
the Scandinavian-American Savings
Bank. The entrance is very beautiful
and unique being an arch the full
width of the building (and a partition
set back from the street about ten feet
with the box office in the centre and
large double doors on each side all
opening outward. The interior is
papered in red and has a seating capa
city of 212 chairs and probably stand
ing room for 40 people. The moving
pictures are especially good and
many were the words of commenda
tion heard on the sidewalk as the
patrons came away last evening. It
has been stated that two theatres so
close to each other would injure the
business of both but this is a fallacy
as in the East nearly all the threates
are in groups. In one city in the
East three theatres are next door to
each other, half a block from them is
another and one block round the cor
ner brings one to a point where four
others can be seen.
