LEATHERS PROMINENT AND RESPECTED CITIZEN BREATHED HIS LAST YESTERDAY. After long weeks of illness, dur ing which everything that human science and tender ministration could suggest was done in mitigation of his malady pericarditis, RichardlMarshall Leathers, one of Astoria's best and most deeply respected citizens, breathed his last at 2:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon, at his beautiful hill-home, on Exchange street in this city. . For sometime there has been a good deal of apprehension among the host of friends he possessed herej as to whether he could and would rally from the affliction, and the anx iety reached far beyond his house hold, and with that of his family's, ceased only with the sad intelligence of his death yesterday. Mr. Leathers was a comparatively young man and thia lends emphasis to his taking away, being but 51 years of age. He was born jn Redwood City, Cali fornia, on the 8th of September, 1857, and waa one of seven children born to Peter and Ellen Sullivan Leath ers, his parents, both of whom pre ceded him in death. Mr. Leathers leaves to mourn him, his devoted widow, Mrs. Annie O'Neill Leathers, and a baby son; beside two sisters, Mrs. Klocksen, of Palo Alto, Cali fornia, and Miss Mary Leathers, of Napa, is that state, and one brother, Benjamin Leathers, of Bremerton, Captain Crowe, the well known lumber surveyor for the San Fran cisco board of Marine Underwriters, was a business visitor in the city yesterday. The O. R. & N. steamer, the popu lar Hassalo, is back on her Astoria Portland run, in fine shape and con dition, and resumed business here yesterday morning. The ateamer Atlas, with barge No. 3, on her tow-lines, entered port yes terday morning, and both proceeded Portland-ward at once. The big trans-Pacific liner Alesia ia still in this port, the Columbia bar still being a bit too ponderous for her safe passage outward.

At the present writing it is the In tention of the family to ie ' re mains sepulture at Portland, muter the auspices of the Benevolent Pro tective Order of lUks, and within the pale of his faith, the Catholic church; but the announcement of final arrangements must wait upon the decision of those most deeply concerned and will probably be made known in tomorrow's issue of the Morning Astorian. , The news o! "Dick" Leathers death yesterday afternoon east a gloom on all who heard it, and on every side were heard egres sions of profound goodwill for the deceased and genuine sorrow that he could not hive lieved on and made stilt better use of the life he hon ored in every way it is given man to do. His character for high purpose and unfailing integrity was univer sal on this coast, and in this city, where he was known longest and best, he stood upright and unsullied, a good man In every sense of the word. It is conceded by everyone that Astoria has lost a valuable citi ten in the death of Mr. Leathers, and this conviction is based upon 27 long years of intimate, friendly and busi ness association that most happily justifies the kindliest thing said of him. R. M. Leathers was known as on of the most skilful and successful builders of small craft on the Pacific Coast, having served a long appren ticeship in the yards and shops of John Reid. the famous boat builder of San Francisco, away back in the "Eighties." He maintained a fine business here for years and turned out a fleet of launches, fishboats and pleasure-craft that has reflected wide and honest credit upon thit con scientious artisan, who, it ia said by those who know him and his work, never turned out a poor piece of work in his career. He has worked at his trade on all sections of the Pacific Coast, from Alaska to Mexi co, and there is many a sturdy little vessel to bear witness to the craft manship and business faith that in spired all his work. He was of quiet and reserved manner, but always amenable to the kindnesses and cour tesies of life and employed them him self in every relation with the result that his friends were legion. In business he was firm, exact and scrupulously careful, good to his men and absolutely fair in all things; socially he was a delightful host and warm friend and generous in all direction where his purse might proffer relief to his less successful fellows; and dying, be leaves every manly virtue accenuated since they must be recalled that justice may be done him. He was a member of Temple Lodge No. 7, A. F. & A. M., of this city, and of Astoria Lodge No. 180, B. P. O. E., and devoted to both great orders 'and all they stood for among men.

"WHERE IS MY WANDERING BOY TONIGHT" Elmer Walters has inserted the words and music of the sweet old song for the rise of te curtain of the second act of "A'Millionaire Tramp'1 because it carries with it the senti ment of so many mothers whose sons are adventurous. The music peels out from the church organ and the song is sung by trained voices just as the curtain ascends upon the scene of The Church of the Holy Cross. What makes the song particularly effective in this play is the appear ance of old Mr. and Mrs. Trumbull whose son has left the old home stead after an argument with the father and has vowed to seek his for tune alone and unaided. The son's whereabouts has been unknown ' for six months and the singing of the old song by the choir as old Mrs. Trumbull enters the church for even ing service is said to bring moisture to the eyes of many in the audience even before dialogue has been spoken. band through the years here and h was the recipent yesterday of mani fold expressions of condolence and comfort, all of which were deeply appreciated. She Is well known In this city, as girl and woman, an4 has innumerable friends to aid her in bearing the great grief of her life, Mrs. Leathers was a graduate of the State Normal School, at Monmouth, in the class of 1897. Fell Into Creek While down at Ills ranch at Clat sop on Sunday Mr. Lountberry, the popular clerk of the water commis sion, fell into Cullaby creek and got both cold and wet, Fortunately he suffered no bad consequences from the dip into the chilly waters and was at the office as usual yesterday. Mr. Lounsbcrry, accompanied by Mrs. Lounsberry, their son Lester, and the hired man from the ranch, were rowing up the creek when they came to a place wljcr several logs barred further progress. Mr. Louns berry stepped out onto one of the logs to help get the boat past, when the log turned and down he went with a splutter. He tried to hang onto the log but couldn't, but finally the boat was forced near him and he climbed up into it. While the in cident closed cheerfully enough, had Mr. Lounsberry not been able to swim the episode might have ended much more seriously.

SWINTON SEUL,S TO THOSE WHO KNOW "HIPI , HIPI HOORAHI" Weber and Field's burlesque is always of the best and most amus ing type. Rice and Cady who have taken their place in their German dialect comedy are starring in "Hip! Hip! Hoorah!" which ran an entire season at Weber' Music Hall and in which they will be seen here at the Astoria Theatre on No vember 29 for one night. It is a great big splendid production direct from Broadway where Jos. Weber's prodigality in staging is a by-word. The girls are pretty, the songs irre sistible and the entire production crowded with gaiety and high spirits.
