Stole Picnic Lunch
A traecdy in a minor key occurred
to little Dick Hobson and several of
his olaymates last Saturday, and sev
cral little breasts are still beating
with manly indignation and sorrow
over the fate that was their's. Dick
had a birthday on Saturday. Natur
ally such an important occasion
should be properly observed, A pic
nic was decided on as the fitting man
ner of the celebration, and all the
other little lads and lassies in the
neighborhood on Franklin street
were invited. The picnic was held
out near the wireless, and the first
thing to be done was to carefully
cache the dinner while the little
folks went out for a ramble. When
they returned they found that bold,
bad thieves had been there before
them. The candy, the oranges, nap
kins and all the other nice things had
been stolen, though the thieves left
the sandwiches and other edibles

ROBATii CASES UP
YESTERDAY,
UDOE TRENCHARD PASSES
UPON SEVERAL MATTERS
PERTAINING TO LOCAL
ESTATES.
In probate court yesterday Judge
C. J. Trenchard passed upon several
matters pertaining to the administra
tion of estate.
Mrs, Anna H. Uetts made appica-
tion to be appointed administratrix
e bonis non of the estate of
Theresa O'Brien, deceased. The cir
cumstances in this case were some
what peculiar. John P. Betts, hus
band of the dead woman, and John
H. Kock were the regularly appoint
ed administrators, but each died, and
it became necessary to appoint an
other. About $900 in currency and
a considerable amount of real prop
crty are involved in the administra
tion. The court approved Mrs. Betts'
application.
In the matter of the estate of C.
R, Thomson, Mrs. Mary P. Thomson
filed a third account as administratrix
and prayed for an order approving.
After due examination the court ap
proved the account and order it al
lowed.
In the matter of the guardianship
of the person and estate of Charles
M. Fulton, minor, application was
made by the guardian, Anna M. Ful
ton, for an order to sell an undi
vided one-tenth of certain real prop
erty. No objecting being made, the
sale was ordered, at private sale.
A petition was received from S. F,
Clayton to be appointed administra
trix of the estate of Daniel P. Shep
herd, who died here recently. The
only known heir is Burton Shep
herd, of Sioux City, la., and Mrs,
Clayton appears as a creditor against
the estate. She was appointed, under
bond of $1200.
Judge Trenchard also made an or
der confirming the sale of property
in the matter of the estate of Mary
B. Cook. The sale was made by Al
exandcr Gilbert, Jr.. as administra
tor, to Alexander Gilbert, Sr.
sports galore, and an invitation has
been extended to the soldiers of Fort
Stevens and Fort Columbia of this
district to participate. It is conn
dently believed that the soldiers will
come in on the games and perhaps
they can be prevailed upon to take
some other part in the day's enter
tainment. It is more than probable
that the committee will spring some
very welcome surprises in the parade.
if all the plans turns out well. Efforts
will be made to interest the Chinese,
and if their services can be .secured it
is certain that the Celestial part of
the parade will be highly interesting.
The suggestion has also been made
that it would be of great value if
there could be some sort of represen
tation of the various nationalities
residing in Astoria in the parade,
For example, it is believed that it
would be a very pretty sight if chil
den of the American, Swedish, Nor
wegian, Finn, and other races would
march, each carrying flags of their
native lands entertained with the
American flag. Perhaps it would be
possible to interest the Chinese and
Japanese in this, too, and it is be
lieved that such a representation of
the children would be a very inter
esting and beautiful sight. The tug
of war has been arranged for, and
will be on a high platform so that all
can see.

and following the words of a critic
who recently said: "She held her
lines prettily, and was charmingly na- ,
tural in her every movement. Her
jolly, good humor was unaffectedly
real, and she made us understand the
hold she had on King Charles. Her
wit was bright and keen and rolled
from her tongue with the ease of a
courtier, her bearing was the essence
of grace and her manner was at all
times captivating."
