The score was 9 to 0. The score indicates a fairly close game, at all events, even if the As toria boys were not able to score at all. On Saturday the Astoria team is scheduled to play with the Eugene team, and it is recognized that they are going against a hard tcarr there, and especially after having already played two games in the week the boy will probably have an up-hill job. But even at worst the Astoria team will come home with one game to their credit and against a good team at that, and if by good fortune they win from F,ugenc the trip will have been far more of. a victorious one than even the well wisher of the Astoria boy could have reason ably anticipated. . First Company The first company' held its regular drill last night, and in the absence of Capt. , Abercrombie, Lieutenant Karl Knobloch took charge of the work. The company was again di vided into three sections, one drilling in the manual of arms, the second at bayonet exercises and the third at the setting up exercises. The sec tions will give exhibition drills of these movements on the night of November II, when the members of the Astoria Relief Corp will present the company with a flag. ,The enter tainmerjt committee, was authorized last night to go ahead and make all arrangements for the military hop, to be given on the Saturday night preceding Thanksgiving, and it was premised that no gentleman who does not wear a uniform of some de scription may attend the dance. The uniform may be either begged, bor rowed or stolen, but every man must wear one. This military hop prom ise to- be a very fine one, The sec tion that has not yet had target prac tice will go out bunday morning, meeting at the armory at 8:30 o'clock. t U i v "7 a ;i 1 V EVERYTHING IT ! Expected To Recover Lum Chack, the little Chinese boy who was operated upon for appen dicitis at St. Mary's hospital on Tuesday evening, passed a comfort able day yesterday and good hopes are entertained for his recovery. It is remarked by the hospital nurses, however, that as a rule the Chinese do not betray much recuperative power after surgical operations, and this fact, which has often been noted, give rise to interesting conjecture. It is well known that among the Chinese the belief seems universal that one might as well be dead as maimed. One seldom if ever sees a Chinese with a leg or arm gone. It is even said they purposely kill pa tients who are injured in such s manner that deformity or loss of limb is likely to ensue. Ages of be liefs of this kind apparently do not give them that mental stimulative power which the white man 13 apt to have in abundance; and back of if all is the Shintoism or Brahmaism that teaches them ."a " fatalism that ignores' surgery and kindred aids. Prisoner a Song Bird- James J. Prendergast, a stowaway sailor, who is a prisoner in the city til serving a ten-day sentence, has a beautiful tenor voice, and he whiles away many an hour in his cell by singing ballads and old-time songs. Frendergast was taken off from a vessel that touched here from San Francisco en route 1o Portland. He had stowed away. There is a pecu liar quality about the man's voice TEA If the tea is good you ask for a second cup; if not, you ask for the money.

During one of these sale days, between October 27 and November 15 you can have goods FREE altogether. I have selected the date, stamped it upon two slips of paper, sealed it in an envelope, and it is now in. the safes of two daily pajpers. ; On November 1G three well known gentlemen will open these envelopes and publish the date. All customers who hold sale slips, bearing the date stamped on the slip, will get their money back, no matter whether the purchase was for 5c or $500.00. i i "1 1 1 'ASTORIA'S RELIABLE CLOTHIER" w that lend it charm and interest, and probably nilny of the i professional singer who have appeared in As toria theatres the past year might suffer greatly in comparison with thi prisoner in the city jail. When Prendergast gings the police officers tTp-toe to the door and listen,, and officials upstairs in the city hall come down to hear. His voice is roughen ed by the life he has evidently led of late years, and one wanders whether the acoustic properties of the city jail add, or detract, from the tones. "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," "Bent Bolt" "Love Me and the "World is Mine," and other songs of equal beauty are on his lips much of the time. "No," said Prendergast yesterday. "I never had any train ing; just picked it up from my mother and sisters." He is a young man, with a north of Ireland name and an English accent, and evidently doesn't tell the whole truth when he states he has had no training. But if the local moving picture theatres want a singer they might bail Prend ergast out i Astorian In Danger Cashier J. R. A. Bennett, of the First National Bank, of this city, yes terday received a very interesting letter from W. W. Ridchalgh, at Montreal and then on the eve of his departure' for England, on the steam ship Virginian. Mr. Ridehalgh, his wife and children were on the Cana dian Pacific train that was wrecked lately within a day's ride out from Vancouver, and judging from the text of his letter, in reference to the disaster, they must have had a thrill ing "few moments." Mr. Ridehalgh says: "We were nearly killed while coming over the Kockies, ihe car we were in turned over on its side, and only for a telegraph pole and two switch-stands, we would be roll ing down hill yet." The accident to the train occurred on- the crest of a mountain precipice practically 600 feet high above the stream and val ley it rose from. There are those in Astoria who will be glad to know that Mr. and Mrs. Ridchalgh and children escaped all injury. His Services Completed The directors of the Oregon Coast Railway Company, the subsidiary or ganization formed as a holding com pany for the proposed electric line company, have dispensed ' with ' the services of F, L. Evans,' .who' had been employed 'to assist irt promot ing the work, as his employment was no longer required. The services of H. G. Van Dusen have been secured for . the purpose of securing the rights of way between Jiere and Sea side. This task is likely to Drove guite a lengthy one, as nothing had been done in the way of preparing the deeds, and other like work, though very little difficulty is antici pated in getting the rights of way from property owners. The prog nostications ot commencing 'work on the proposed line by October I, as frequently made last summer, seem to have been merely so much boom talk. It is hoped to have the rights of way secured by January 1. Mean time nothing has been heard from the agent of the Philadelphia com pany who was entertained here at a smoker on October 9. The Astoria men back of the enterprise, however, will feel neither surprised or discour aged if nothing comes of this nego tiation, and they have other re sources to turn to at once when the time comes.

A communication was banded into this office stating that the Epworth League of the First M. E. church, would hold a Hallowe'eri party, and it wa3 naturally presumed to be for Saturday night. Request is made that it be stated that this party is for tonight at 8 o'clock, and not on Hallowe'en. Regatta Grandstand The Regatta grandstand was not a moneymaker this year, so members of the Regatta committee announce. While no money was actually lost; still for one reason or another it was not well patronized. . One principal reason was that the showers kept people away just when they might have wished" to enter the grandstand- Voridarful; Meat-Values at Smith' PTo Portland V. II.
