Bryan'a Picture There -
Just before the last meeting of the
Common Council some one hung a
picture of Bryan, the democratic
nominee, on the wall of the council
chamber. It is still there. Just why
the Common Councilvirtually every
member of which was elected on a
non-partisan ticket, and some of
whom are wishful of being re-elected
on a, non-partisan ticket shauld grant
this distinction to the democratic
leader doesn't seem very clear.
Entire New Council
There seems to be an impression
among some that a few of the present
members of the Common Council are
to hold over. This is an erroneous
view. Nine new .councilmen are to
be elected, and there is to be a "clean

water commission, in additipn, is to

have an entirely" new set of officials,
though it is very probable that some
of those now in office will be re
elected.
Railroad Men In Town
Quite a number of railroad men
were in Astoria yesterday and one
could easily imagine a convention of
freight and passenger agents being
held here. J., G. McNsb, genera
traveling agent of the Canadian Pa
cific; F. N. Kollock, general agent of
the Pennsylvania lines; Ccorge Tay
lor, traveling freight aand passenger
agent of the Wisconsin Central, and
J. A. Clock, general western agent of
the Wisconsin Central, at Portland
were visible on the streets.
Attached Scow
An attachment wa served on
scow with lumber yesterday to satisfy
a claim preferred by the ,Ross-IIig
gins Company against Sam Basell
The scow and outfit was presumed to
belong to Basell, who is alleged to
owe the company $129, and it was
passing by in the river en route from
Rainier, Deputy Sheriff Archie Mc
Lean took possession of it. Later,
however, the attachment was releas
ed, as Basell satisfied the other side
that the. lumber did not belong to
him, and that he merely itad it in his
possession to sell on commission.
Verdict For Plaintiff
In the case of William Miller vs. E.
M. Baker, a matter that occupied the
attention of a jury in the circuit court
nearly all day yesterday, a verdict
was returned last evening in favor of
the plaintiff in the sum of $139.. The
amount asked for in the complaint
was about $200. The defense alleged
that the work had not been properly
or well done. The plaintiff is a car
penter and contractor and had done
some work for Mr. Baker, the de
fendant, on a building. Attorney J.
F. Hamilton was for the plaintiff and
Attorney Frank Spittle for the de
fense.
Soldier's Hat Found
The soldier who stole a hat in a
Bond street store Thursday night
about 7 o'clock and fled with it suc
cessfully made his escape from the
police. He dodged into an alley and
from that moment he was not seen.
But his own military cap was later
found by a police officer, and in the
hat is this name: "Logan Alden."

FOR YOO COUPLE
HARRY FLAVEL AND MISS
ELIZABETH A. PATRICIAN
MARRIED LAST NIGHT.
Harry Flavel, of the well known
Astoria family of that name, and
Miss Elizabeth A. Patrician, of Ta
coma, were married at the Charles
Callender home-last night, the cere
mony being performed by the Rev.
W. S. Short, rector of Grace Church.
The announcement of the marriage
will doubtless be received with much
surprise among the friends of the
young people It is hinted that the
marriage will especully be a sur
prise to the Flavcls, who are out of
the city for a few days.
After the ceremony last night the
bride and groom proceded to Sea
side, where they expect to spend a
short honeymoon.
, The bride is a talented and grac
ious young lady who has been visit
ing in Astoria, at the homes of the
I'oards and the Earrs, for a short
time, and the course of true love in
this case sped on to a speedy wed
ding. .
The marriage license was procured
yesterday, it is stated, but evidently
by some plan was not made public,
so that the whole matter comes as a
surprise.
At the ceremony last night quite a
few were present. They were Mr,
and Mrs. Charles Callender, Miss
Winnie Higgins, Miss Irene Siming
Ion, Miss Freda Foard, and Edward
Higgins and George Prescott Wright.
Later others were invited and
merry party gathered.
FOOT BALL GUI FOR

ALL-STAR TEAM WILL MEET
THE ASTORIA HIGH ON THE
ATHLETIC GROUNDS.
At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon on
the athletic field the Astoria High
School, and n All-Star team will
play football. This game will be
wntched with interest by the friends
of the High School as it will be their
first game and will give the followers
of the game a "line" on the strength
and ability of this year's team. The
High School has a, number of good
games scheduled this year ana tne
players have been working faithful

All Things Modern.
"The Modern," the beautiful ton
aorlal establishment 01 Artnur E
etersen, at 572 Commercial street in
this city, is unquestionably the real
resort for the most perfect treatment
in this behalf, and the most critical
finds nothing to criticize there, how
soever often he visits the place.
On the front of the cap is the com
pany number 93. Therefore it would
appear as if it was Private Logan
Alden from Fort Stephens who start
ed on a rampage on Astor street
and later- sought to get a new hat
without paying for it. The police still
have the military cap, but it is diffi
cult to see how Private Alden or
whoever it was that wore the cap,
can get it now without also having
to answer to his misdeeds on Thurs-J
day night. A warrant is out for his
arrest.

LABORS OF COr.ir.IITTEE
M il OVER "
NO OTHEK CHARTER AMEND
MENTS ARE PROPOSED BY
THE COUNCILMEN.
At the conclusion of the meeting of
the charter amendment committee
last night, held in the city hall, the
announcement was made that the
committee had adjourned not to meet
again, and that the decision had
been reached not to recommend any
more amendments.
This means that the work of the
committee is over, and that aside
from the seawall amendment, already
adopted by the council, that the
committee wil have no other amend
ment to recommend,
Half a dozen proposed amend
ments have been suggested and dis
cuscd and it was deemed certain that
some of them .at least would be
recommended favorably,
The committee has worked hard all
summer and autumn long, and has
spent many hours in its. labors. The
seawall amendment alone was a
monumental work, laborious and ex
acting.
The members of the committee
were Councilmen Logan, Leinenweb-
er, Robinsor, Kaboth and Hansen.
Evidently they arrived at the conclu
sion that other amendments would
not be necessary.
HIS PASSPORT NO GOOD. ,
Italy Holds That "One an Italian Al
ways an Italian."
When on my first visit to Italy after
an abseneo of twenty-five years, fur
nished though I was with a purport
from Washington with the great red
eeul of state and with my naturaliza
tion papers, I wan amazed when I was
arrested and put In a den of prison
reeking with filth and vermin because
I had paid no attention to the Italian
laws regarding the matter of military
obligation. I waa under the Impres
sion, as 1 am sure many Americana
are, that when once I bad sworn off
my allegiance to the king of Italy and
had become an American citizen I
would t recognized as such and not
be required to fulfill the obligations of
an Italian citizen.
The experience waa not amusing, and
yet as I look back upon It there was n
ridiculous side to It When with great
dignity and pride I pulled from my
pocket my passport I expected to see
the little Italian official gasp for breath
and humbly beg my pardon. Imagine
my feelings when, glancing at the
American eagle on my papers and the
signature of the secretary of state, I
at the same time exclaiming, "Sono
citadlno Americano" ("I am an Amer
lean citizen"), he turned his back upon
me and said most Indifferently, "Fa
nlente; fa niente" ("That's nothing
that's nothing"). I was led away by
two carabinierl and turned Into a large
room, where I found seven prisoners
wbo were to be my companions for
that day and night. The next day I
was taken before the prefect of the
province, and then It was learned that
I was not obliged to serve tbe regular
three years In the Italian army, not
because I was an American citizen
that was not recognized but because
I was the only male In my family
The Italian theory la "once an Italian
always an Italian." The government
does not recognize the change of al
leglance on the part of any of its sub
jects. Antonio Mangano in "Charities

PAIN AND PLEASURE.
The Sanations That Corns When a
Person Is Hanged.
This Is the way Rev. J. T.' Mann In
Spare Moments describes the way It
feels to be ha used:
At Fort Barrancas, Fla., ou April 4.
1868, I was hanged as a Confederate
spy. I spent four minutes physically
and spiritually between earth ' and
heaven. Then a Yankee sergeant, be
lieving me to be the wrong man, cut
me down.
My first sensation when the barrel
was kicked from under my feet was
that a steam boiler Inside me was
about to explode. Every vein and
blood vessel to and from my heart
seemed charged with an oppressive
fullness that must find an avenue of
escape. The nervous system through
out Its length was tingling with a
painful, pricking sensation the like of
which I never felt before or since.
Then followed the sense of an explo
sion, as if a volcano had erupted. This
seemed to give me relief, and the pain
gave way to a pleasurable feeling, one
very desirable could it be secured with
out death. With this sensation a light
broke In upon my sight, a light of
milky whiteness, yet, strange to say.
so transparent that it was easier to
pierce with the eye than the light of
day. Then came into my mouth a
taste of sweetness the like of which I
have never since known. And I feit
myself moving on, with a conscious
ness of leaving everything behind.
Then I heard the sweetest music, and
it tsemned that more than a thousand
harps led in each part, accompanied by
myriads of voices.
And the sensation of coming back to
life after I had been cut down was
just as painful as the first feeling of
hanging. It was acute torture. Every
nerve seemed to have a pain of its
own. My nose and fingers were seats
of the most excruciating agony. In
half an hour the pain was all gone, but
I would not go through the experience
again for the wealth of the Indies. -
Russian Marriages.
The celebratlon.tof a Russian mar
riage sometimes extends over three
days. At the wedding festivities the
bride Is expected to dance with the
men one after another until she drops
with sheer fatigue. It Is a matter of
pride with her to keep going' as long
as possible, and It is not unusual to
find a bride dancing gayly after three
days and nights of vigorous frolic.
When a girl Is dancing with a man she
always holds his pipe. It would be
regarded as extremely rude If a man
should continue to smoke his pipe in
such circumstances. London Tit-Bits.

Bryan' Political BiHift llowm.
Charley Murphy,, the ,.w ft;
Tammany boss, whoe chief oemt"

Conners, the New York Democrats
state boss, whote saloon with its wa
ter rat surroundings was recently pin
tured in Collier's Weekly, are the au
thors of a New York Democratic plat
form telling how the national govern
ment ought to be run. They say:
"We demand that the public expend
itures shall be so safeguarded that
sinecure shall be abolished, that econ
omy shall be practiced In every pat" Is
department and that the business ef
the people be transacted on the Enia
on which successful private enter
prises are conducted."
When it is recalled that, according
to a recent report of the New Tar
Civil Service Reform association, the
New York city departments, which are
mere annexes of the Tammany tiger's
lair, are stuffed full of slnecurista;
that men are appointed to position
requiring a high degree of technical
knowledge and training whose oa?y
qualification is that of the divekeepec
and street loafer; that If an employe
in a city department shows a real de
sire to work, thereby embarrasstea:
the others wbo don't wort, he is haxed
and annoyed until he finds conditions
intolerable; considering that, notwMJa
standing the marvelous growth of tit
city and Increase in taxable property,
its credit lias been so impaired bj
reckless and criminal waste that K
obligations have Vr pay a higher rst
of Interest than those of many smaller
cities and towns; considering that
from the days of Democratic Bow
Tweed to Democratic Boss Mnrphy
the mlsgovernment of New York city
has been a byword and reproach tat a&
parts of the world, it certainly to
cates the gall of a rhinoceros for tlm
Democratic bosses who stand for S
this and the Democracy that staoda
for It to tell the national government
how its business should be run.
Happily there is not the slightest
cause for fearing that Murphy and!
Conners, by grace of their friend anA
political bedfellow, will get t&elr
hooks into the national departments
at Washington and tun those hives
of intelligent industry Into dope joints
for Tammany eineenrists. The potest
proof which Bryan has given that fce
la hand and glove with Tammanto
corrupt regime ought to be and wfi
be accepted by honorable men of aa
parties throughout the United Statas
as a warning of what Bryan's success
would mean in disaster to national
honor and credit and the cans of de

Watte rson a True Prophet.
Colonel Henry Watterson. after a
careful survey of the situation, said
in 1890:
Tha American peopls wiil nevar c
aent to sufcstituto the republic of
Washington, of Jefferson, of Jackson
for the republio of an Altgeld, a Till
man or a Bryan."
Colonel Watterson was a true proph
et He knew the Impulse and desire)
of the people, and his Judgment was
completely vindicated by the verdidt
of two consecutive campaigns for tim
presidency. The people held fast ta
the Ideals of Washington, Jeffersoa.
and Jackson. They spurned the bass
political standards of Altgeld, Till ma
and Bryan and elected to the presiden
cy a worthy successor to the men ef
heroic stature who had steadfast!
upheld the dignity and discharged tne
duties of . that great office.
Colonel Watterson's prophecy wK
hold good this year, as it did In 1836
and 1900. ,! Bryan has not changed.'
The national conscience has not chang
ed. The people have not changed,
The ethical principles and the paity
policies at issue in 1836 are at stafc
in the present campaign. Bryan
stands for the same violent infiuenosat,
the same ruinous policies, the same
discreditable purprc-s, that he repre
sented twelve years ago. His candi
dacy is a challenge and an affront to
the conservative, constructive forces
of our common citizen ship and will fc
rebuked as indignantly as it was in ids
former campaigns.
The Watterson prophecy was 'not
cast for IS96 or 1000 alone, but for &K
time and all Bryans. It was Insglsef
by a profound belief in the patriotism
and rectitude of the people. To doubt
that it will be fulfilled (his year ft
completely as it was twice befe
would be questioning the genuineness
of Colonel Watterson's gifts as at
prophet and assuming that the peopf
have turned traitors to themselves.
The new play, "The Fighting Oo
!s not a dramatization of the Den
antic campaign.
