Shower Party
On last Tuesday evening Mrs, F.
L Bishop gave a, shower party in
honor of Miss Ida Lclnenweber, who
is to be married to Mr. R. H. Van
Tuyl. Many friends of the bridc-elect-to-be,
were present, and she re
ceived many beautiful presents, The
evening was a pleasant one and was
immensely enjoyed by all.
Still Improving
The intersection of Twelfth and
Duane street is at this writing simply
a 'hole in the air." The down-town
street work docs not seem to be done
in parcels, with gangways for teams
and pedestrians, as was the case some
time ago. It is nothing now-a-days
to block up a thoroughfare for a week
at a time, and there is growing com
plaint about it.
Fourth of July Parade
The Goddess of Liberty together
with the children to represent the
different States of the Union for the
Fourth of July parade will be se
lected, and taken charge of by Su
perintendent Clark of .the Astoria
schools. A contest will be inaugu
rated among the children for the po
sition of queen and the liberty car
will be elaborately, decorated.
Good Opportunity
The Chamber of Commerce has re
ceived an inquiry from a Michigan
man who desires a tract of land on
which he can locate from 50 to 100
families of Germans. Members of the
Chamber interested can secure full
information at the office. If some
one has a tract of tidcland about
ready for settling for dairy purposes,
this seems to be a good opportunity.
New Sanitarium
It was credibly rumored in this city
yesterday that the Oregon Adventists
intend to erect a beautiful rest-sanitarium
on their land immediately
south of the fine properties recently
acquired and developed by the Dc
Laura Beach Company. The institu
tion will be of the same class and
service' as the fine resort they own
and maintain at Mt. Tabor.
New Business Venture
Astoria is to have another plumb
ing establishment. Messrs. E. S.
Younce and W. F. Baker, both prac
tical and expert workmen in this line
will open a business house at No. 126
Eighth street, opposite the postoffice,
where orders may be left for tinning,
plumbing, steam and gas fitting, and
all phases of such service, with a cer
tainty of getting it done with guar
anteed workmanship and all rational
despatch.
Evie To Trawl Again
The schooner Gerald C. has return
ed to port from her trawling expedi
tion, with a manifestly small load 01
fish, all of which .were, however, fine
for marketing, fresh and lucious. The
schooner Evie will be shipped and
leave out today for the deep-sea
grounds. The business will not be
abandoned by Mr. Obee and his asso
ciates, until it has been demonstrated
that there are no deep-sea fish in
nearby ocean waters; which is not
likely to prove the case.
Of Interest To Mariners
Nautical Expert John MtNulty, of
the lighthouse service, advises the
press that the British steamship Ori
ana, Captain Jarvis, commanding, has
reported to his office, the sighting,
on April 3rd, in latitude 26 min., 20
sec, N. longitude 141 nini. 11 sec. W.,
a submerged schooner of about 60
feet in length, with top-sides washed
away, and her ribs projecting three or
four feet out of the water. This would
place the derelict in the Tropic of
Cancer, and in mid-Facific,

Star Changes Hands
There is a natural sort of look
about the Star theatre these days with
Mr. and Mrs. Al. Hager in the lobby
as of old. They have leased the
house and will take it over on the 15th
instant. It is their intention to open
it with stock business, having the
Ashtou Stock Company, which re
cently completed a six-months en
gagement in Portland, under con
tract for a season of good plays.
Mr. Fritz will be missed from the
stand, for he has tried hard to make
the Star popular and has succeeded
admirably.
Star Theatre
The management of the Star Thea
tre this week offering their patrons
one of the best vaudeville entertain
ments ever witnessed in Astoria, the
acts are all good, and are well worth
the time of anyone's to pay this
popular theatre a visit, A special
feature in the way of motion pictures
will be shown next Friday, Saturday
and Sunday, also at ! the matinees
where the pictures showing the great
Atlantic fleet passing the Columbia
river on Battleship day will be given.
The pictures were taken from the
steamer Roanoke, and are said to be
extremely interesting.
Attraction In Chief
The Fourth of July Committee yes
terday received an affirmative re
sponse from Hon. Charles W. Fulton,
to its request that he serve as ora
tor of the day on the occasion of the
great celebration of the national
holiday. This is pleasing news and
his assignment may be classed as the
leading attraction of a day that is to
be charged with an abundance of in
teresting and entertaining things. Mr.
r ulton $ acceptance of the task of
honoring the day from the rostrum
lends assurance" of the perfect dis
pensing of that essential feature and
will bring pleasure to all concerned.
Astoria Regatta
At the meeting of the regatta com
mittee that was held in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms last night, it was
decided by a majority of one, to have
regatta this year. Nothing definite
was arranged however toward it, ex
cepting that, H. R. Hoefler and S. M.
Gallagher were appointed a commit
tee of two to select their chairman.
The regatta committee have also
agreed to turn over to the Fourth of
July committee "the i$400 that they
have had in the treasury since last
year's regatta, and which was handed
over to them by the Fourth of July
committee after the celebration last
year.
Astoria O. N. G.
Word has been received by C. H.
Abercrombie from W. E. Finzer,
adjutant-general, of the Oregon Na
tional Guard, that the board would
meet some time this week to consider
the application for the establishment
of a company in this city, and ex
pressed his opinion that there would
be no doubt but that they would act
favorably on the matter. General
Finzer also informed Mr. Abercrom
bie that the company would not get
the old equipment which they now
have on hand, but will receive an en
tire new outfit. However, it will be
some time yet before It will be re
ceived as it is being shipped from
Washington.
Stole The1 "Monogram"
A , Salem man, who-shall be name
less, was in the city yesterday, and in
the course of conversation with a
reporter of this paper, emphatically
denied the 'yarn that it was the
"Salem Hog" that stole the eight-foot
monogram from the rear of the O. A.
C. train as it passed-through that city
on its way to Corvallis the other day
when the lads and lasses of the Agri
cultural College were homing it from
their exhibition drills at the Rose
Festival. He says it "was overlooked
by the "Portland , Swine," a'nd was
captured on a telegraphic order from
the metropolis, by a Portlander who
happened to be in the Capital City
missionarying for the removal of the
State Fair to Portland.
Leinenweber-Van Tuyl Nuptials
At 10 o'clock this morning, at the
home of the bride's mother, Mrs.
Mary H. Leinenweber, 425 Exchange
street, in this city, there will occur
the happy ceremony which is to

Ida Eugenia Liencnweber and Mr.
Richard Harry Van Tuyl, both of
this city and both widely popular.

First Presbyterian Church will offic
iate and the wedding will be witness

cisco; and Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Lein
