These were the concluding words of an interview accorded a represen tative of the Morning Astorian, last evening, by Hon. Isaac Bergman, ,t his Bond street home, during which the peculiar manipulations of the Smith-"Citizens"-convention of Mon day night," were freely, and dis gustedly, adverted to by the nominee of the Astoria 'Democracy, for the office of Mayor. "Never in my life have I been so astonished and dismayed as I was at that meeting. My candidacy for the mayoralty was the outcome of many kindly and tnsistant request on the part of my friends, and my accept ance of it was more in deference to their wishes than of my own. I think I must have been the only man in Logan hall on Monday night who did not know of Tony Smith's ulter ior plans in this direction; ad in all my political life I have never been treated as he treated me. A few hours before the assembling " of the convention I had intimated, in Smith's own office, my indisposition to take the place, and had begged his brother, John H. Smith, to enter the field and relieve me; but they both insisted , on my retaining the claim, and position, I had assumed, and I did so. I feel the incident more than I can well express, but having gone into it with the best faith in the world, I do not feel called upon to relinquish my attitude nor aspira tion, and shall not do so, unless, at the Democratic primaries on the 9th of November, be shall have again oust me at the polls. I do not know what he will do nor do I care. As thinzs stand. I shall stay in the race." "'. This, is, substantially, the expres sion of the man who was so boldly knifed in the "house of his friends' on Moiiday night; and it is the sense of every personal friend of Mr. Berg' man in the city. It is said they in tend to stand by him to the last ditch; There is no discount on the very broad and resentful feeling that dominates' Mr. Bergman's friends and this is likely to grow rather than diminish as the campaign pro gresses."'"; '"' '....

ASTORIA FOOTBALL (Continued from page 1) to the (fact that an by when score was due Astoria player was , near another fumble occurred near the Portland Academy's goal line. , Al though both their scores were made on what might be termed flukes, the Astoria team clearly had the better eleven,, and was speedier than the home aggregation at every point One exception to this was noted in punt ing, for Cookingham time and again booted the sphere for a distance of 40 years and saved his team-mates from impending peril. Portland Academy opened pro ceedings by kicking off to the 15 yard line, from which place Astoria began a steady march toward their opponents' goal. After, two long end-runs by Upshur and some good gains by Parker through tackle, the ball was landed on the Academy's 40-yard line. The Academy team held at this point and Astoria was forced to punt. Upshur drove s pretty spiral which dropped in Cook ingham's arms on the goal line.( The onrushing Astoria end must have upset the nerve of the Academy quarterback, for he dropped the ball and an Astoria man fell on it for a touchdown. The trial at goal failed and the score was 5 to 0. The Portland Academy team had not had the ball in its possession yet and the first attempts on the offen sive were unsuccessful either in pen ctrating the opponents line or in circling the end's. The onside' kick was resorted to and was used after that with varying success through out the game. For the remainder of the game the ball zig-bagged from one end of the field to the other, neither side being able to gain with enough consistency to score. Stoyer for Astoria -was seen repeatedly to break through the opposing line and break up the formations. The second half was characterized by long runs and much shifting of the cene of battle, Morton, Astoria's diminutive end, was used in end-runs around the other wing and proved a good ground-gainer. His fleetness ana agility in dodging tackiers were productive of several long runs. Both sides scored in this half and several scores were averted by fumbles being recovered, and by good tackles ..." As toria scored first about the middle of the half, when Holmes picked tip the ball on an onside kick and ran 30 yards for a touchdown. Portland Academy's score came late in the half just before the whistle blew and was on a pretty drop-kick from the 25-yard line by Cookingham. The Academy boys had punted from the midfield and recovered the ball on the 30-yard line on a fumble. An onside kick was worked prettily and put the ball, on the 15-yard line. , At tempts to penetrate the Astoria line were unsuccessful and Cookingham went back for a try at goal. Stand ing on the 25-yard line he sent the ball soaring; straight ' between ' the goals. ' why you should buy your goods from the 8 n n 8 p c 5V A'iWN 'iflllilllVUFR il pip 1. Our Prices are Low. 2.

Yours Very Truly, ASTORIA FURNITURE CO. FICTION ANO FACT Dreams of Authors That Havo Turnod Into Realities. The delrer among old book, often finds, says tho Borlln Umschau, prophe cies made, by writers which in, their day were nothing but romance. This can be so easily observed by reading the works of Jules Verne, and there are also books in which airships, the telephone, 'pbofogrtfphy and tho motor wagon have been spoken of generations before these were accomplished facts. A novel entitled "Der Kluge Mann." published by Vons & Co., Lelpsic, 171)5, by nn author named Cramer shows a Roentgen picture. The story tells pf the Countess Abllllnln, who gave her heart to the knight Glbello. . The knightly lover was thoughtless enough, however, to kill his ladylove's fnther, and her affection turned to hatred, mid she rowed to kill him. In a dream she saw the man who bad fascinated her, and she stood ready to kill bim, when suddenly IiIh. form changed, and before her stood a grinning skeleton, snying, "I have already been punished." This scene is illustrated in the old book, ami the picture is not unlike a Roentgen photograph, but when It was published no one probably would have believed that science within a comparatively short time would make it possible to produce this picture, which the author's Imagination invented.
