troublous ear, his right one, where
upon, on Sunday last a vicious Port

a bill previously charged with some
thing that set up blood poisoning, and
though it is now mending rapidly it
has troubled him seriously ever since
it happened.

with' the famous precept, VV, R.
Macbeth, of this city, known of every
man and boy, on the peninsula, as the
iiuthor and sponsor of the "Wild West
Parade" that is to mark this Regatta
nason, had occasion, lately, to write
the F, G, Wonder costume house, in
Portland, about certain natters in
connection with his projected enter
taintnent to which the Wonder people
responded promptly enough; but, hav
ing mislaid Mr, Macbcth's letter and
forgotten his name,' directed their
reply to "Mr.' Shakespeare, care Re
gatta, Astoria, Ore.," and the missive,
on reaching headquarters rather puz
zled Secretary Wallace and his col
leagues, as no man of that name was
here, nor in correspondence with
them; and when "Mac" called for hi;
mail yesterday morning, this letter
wai turned over to him as the only
Shakespearian character known in the
festival outfit. It was his, alright, if
it did find him "by indirection."
Fir Sals Amenities
Yesterday morning, long before the
doort of the A. Dunbar Company, on
Commercial street, were thrown open
for business, not lest than 250 pros
pective bargain-hunters were gathered
at and about the establishment. When
the doors were opened, it was to ad
mit but 25 at a time, and when these
had gone through the stock and made
their purchases, another group was ad
mitted, and so on, through the entire
day. During one of the invasions one
woman tried to force her way in
ahead of another woman !i line, when
the latter, with a twift uppercut and
a remark quite at ttinging, compelled
the intruder to recede. It was inter
esting to watch the eager spirit of
most of the women (for there were
scarcely any men at all infected) since
it is peculiarly a characteristic of that
sex, and one they practice quite as
much for the good of the man's
pocketbook, as for their own grim
pleasure in capturing a genuine, or
near-genuine, bargain.

No Rubber Balls
Despite the fact that a seal of dis
approval has been placed upon the
use of the rubber balls by all those
who have any connection with the
Regatta, nevertheless one of the street
merchants yesterday was offering
them for sale. It seems, to be the
opinion of nearly everyone that -the
rubber balls are merel trouble
makers, a pesky and ornery form of
amusement that is about as sure to
cause trouble as anything can. Roughs
strike women in the face with them,
or some half drunken and half baked
fellow hits a man In the face while
his wife is at his side. Then there is
a mix-up. Again others seem to think
it is a frisky and pleasant thing to
grab up a handful of the paper con
fetti from the ground half of the
handful being street dirt and throw
ing it in someone's face.

The Change Is Manifest
The fishing season has closed, and
the hour of relaxation and pleasure, as
exemplified by the Regatta, is at hand
in Astorfa; the men, and boats and
gear, and animals are finding their
way in from, the industrial outposts
of the fisheries; the canneries are shut
ting down, one after the other; and the
call of pleasure and fun is heard on
all sides; the booth and' tent and
stand of the itinerant showman and
merchant, and perhaps, the fakir,
jostle each other everywhere, and the
sounds of music and laughter and
joke run riot through the city's thor
oughfares. The Regatta is on, and if
you doubt it, watch the signs, and win
dows and crowds, and mark its ure
and happy approach; and keep your
eye on (the boats and trains and rigs
that are landing hundreds here hourly.

for the Regatta week. During that
time there were no reports of rob
beries of any consequence or any ser-

kept up during the remainder of the

Lecture At Warrenton
The Ladies Society of the Presby
terian Church at Warrenton has ar
ranged with Albert Holmes Cross, of
Cleveland, Ohio, to deliver his lecture
"Breaking Bands," this evening. Mr.
Cross is spending a few days in As
toria and supplied the pulpit of the
Methodist church here last Sunday.
In his work as a Sunday school secre
tary, he has traveled over 27 states
delivering over 1200 addresses and
lectures. His popular lecture "Break
ing Bands" has been given' before
many Portland audiences, and is high
ly spoken of. There is to be no ad
mission price. Everybody is cordial
ly invited to attend. An offering will

Died At John Day
The sad news reached this oity
yesterday- of the death, after a brief
illness of an organic character, of
Mrs. Anna Parker, wife of Mr. A. L.
Parker, at their John Day home, at
11:10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs.
Parker was born in Denmark in 18691
and was the mother of an interesting
family of eight children, the eldest be
ing a son, Jennver, aged 22 years, the
others being her sons Harry, Peary,
Wening, Dewey and Melvjn, and her
daughters Mary and Alma, beside a
foster-daughter, Edna Nelson, upon
all of whom, with the stricken hus
band, the death of wife and mother
falls with crushing force, for, as was
said yesterday by a (fevoted friend of
the family, the most beautiful attri
bute of Mrs. Parker's womanhood was
her perfect motherhood. The deceas
ed lady was but 39 years of age and
became the bride of Mr. Parker at the.
age of 16 years. The funeral will take
place at the family home at John Day
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, Rev.
W. Seymour Short, rector of Grace
church officiating, and interment will
be had at Ocean View, the grave-side
services being strictly private.
