JAPAN TRIP WOULD ; COST $600 Drill In Uniform' I here were only 12 absentee at the drill of the First Company, Coast Artillery, last night in Foard & Stokes hall. Announcement was made by Captain Abcrcrombic that another drill will bhcld on Friday night. Thi will be in full uniform, and all those who have not yet called at the city half and received their uniform are requested to do so at once. There also will be drills In uniform on next Monday and Tuesday night, while the regular Wednesday night drill will be dispensed with as the hall 1 to be used for other purpose on that night. Every effort is being made to get the rifles and other missing por tion of the equipment here a soon a possible, and it i now hoped that it will be possible for the boy to ap pear in the regatta parade. . Geta Fine New Machine Manager Hager of the popular pic ture house of the same name received a. fine new American Biograph mov ing picture machine from the east yesterday. It was set up and' was gien a thorough test at the perform ance 'last night. The new machine gives a splendid clear cut and flicker less picture, and i a great deal easier on the eye of the audience than the less valuable machines. Fisherman Drown - . Axel Hcllcnn, a fisherman, was drowned in the Columbia at the Booth cannery sometime during Tuesday night. Hi cap wa found on the wharf there yesterday morn ing and a search wa made with the result that the body wa found nearly at the foot of the ladder which led to hi boat. It i presumed that he fell when attcmntinir to go down to Took Carbolic Acid While Patrolman Linville was tak ing Lizzie Johnson to the city jail at a late hour Tuesday-r.ight she-sud denly raised a bottle of carbolic acid to her lips and drank of the fiery liquid. The officer saw the motion a she carried the phial to her lips and with a hasty movement he reach ed out and grabbed it from her. In a moment she sank limply to the hi fishing boat and drowned. There I ground. A carriage wa called and were no indication of any foul play J she was removed in an unconscious and no inquest will be held. He was condition to the hospital. A physi cian was called who discovered that while her lip and mouth were badly burned she had apparently swallowed little or none of it. The officer' Chinook Playt Host About 30 ladies and gentlemen of the Astoria Artisan' lodge left last evening on Captain Jim Keating' popular launch, Pilot No. 2, for Chinook, on the north shore, where they assisted very materially and happily in the institution of a new lodge of that order, in that lively little city. Chinook did the "hospi tality" with her uual lavish hand, and the Astorians returned at a. late hour, thoroughly pleased with their outing. ii -i.i i . ,i - I .1 years urn aim unnidi i icu, " native of Norway.

"Winton. the aaed and well known attorney, who ha been failing in health for the past two years, and who is summering in Astoria, a guest nt the home of his daughter, Mrs. Captain Jame Keating, was reported Miss Mary Conyers, the accomplish ed vocalist and teacher, last evening. jThe laflics of the Astoria Philhar monic Society and a number of per i sonal friends contributed to the pleasant event. Miss Lonycrs em phasized the charm of the gathering by rendering, in her perfectly trained, mellow mezzo-soprano, a number of beautiful ballads, each and all of which confirmed the happy repute in which Miss Conyers stands in the musical world of Oregon. She is billed for some exceptionally fine work in the great regatta Sangerfest and, it is said, will shortly establish a class in this city, which will be not only a technical, but an artistic, ad vantage to musical Astoria. ' INVITATION OF JAPANESE .CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG STRING TIED TO IT. Announcement wa madein the of fice of the Chamber of Commerce yes terday that the proposed trip to Jap an u;jon the invitation of several of the Nipponese Chambers of Com merce will cost each one who goes in the neighborhood of $600. This fact will undoubtedly cause no ljttle amazement among all those who had signified their intention of accepting the invitation. Recently the announcement was made from San Francisco that the Chambers of Commerce of Tokio and one or two other Japanese towns had extended an invitation to visit Japan; the invitation being to the San Fran cisco and other Pacific Coast organi zations. Then, it appeared, San Fran cisco "invited" Portland, and Port land "invited". Astoria. And now comes the somewhat dis concerting information that each in vited guest is expected to pay con siderable more than he would have to pay if he went first class on a private trip of his own. The $60Q should permit someone to make a bit of money out of the voyage, even if champagne was served from "soup to nut." It is thought by some that the an nouncement of the $600 charge is a "frame up" on the part of someone, either in Portland or San Francisco, to frighten off the many who were planning to go. About a dozen from this city, had formally requested to join the party. Possibly the "frame up" Jias its origin in the presumed fact that so many wished to go that some one deemed it best t to scare most of them out of the trip.

GOii Lum Pye Arrested The gods of the Chinese joss houses were unkind to Lum Tye last night. Lum is the Celestial who until recent ly was the proprietor of the Usonia, a boarding house near the Clatsop mills. Last night he came1 down from Portland and it was his especial de sire not to meet, any one who knew him.. Yet, as he got off the train on the far side, who should he run into but Police Officer Hanson, who was there watching for people who get off on the wrong side of the train. The police officer and the Chinaman came around into the light, and while Lum was telling all about it, Con stable Sayer stepped forward and grabbed Lum Pye and hastily hustled him off to the donjon keep in the nether part of the city hall. There is a warrant out' for Lum. It accuses him of selling a talking machine that didn't belong to him It is also that for i a Chinaman Lum Pye is a very unusual man, for heowes many bills. ' Lawlor-O'Neill Word has come down from the me tropolis of the happy wedding of Mr. Patrick Lawlor, the well known capi talist of Seaside, and Miss Marguerite O'Neill, one of . Portland's pretty and estimable daughters. The ceremony that united these clever people took place yesterday morning at the" Ro man Catholic Cathedral in Portland, and while details are lacking, it is known that Mr. J. 'Andrew Brunold, of this city, ."supported" the groom, Where Do They Start The live newspaper man is con tinually up against the canard. The canard is the story of interest with out shadow of truth or fact. They are senseless, disappointing, and often harmful. Where do they start? Any reporter can tell where the most of them end. The Astoria is moved to this comment by having one of these lively things thrust across its path yesterday. The source from which it came was, practically, unimpeachable and it ran to the effect that a certain prominent municipal officer, popular ly respected and wholly responsible, had filed his resignation with the civic authorities; that it would be acted upon in due course; that the re signing official would thereafter en gage in. commercial pursuits, his ex tensive interests therein having been acquired some time ago. Seeking for confirmation, the party in question was approached, and the entire story was flatly and unequivocally denied, from beginning to end, and the' de nial emphasized by most excellent reasons for its utter ambiguity- and impossibility. But the story is still r going on its" foolish way and will probably keep on till knocked out by the public declaration of its false hood, by the man at interest.
