ASTORIA IB FOR
R. .0. 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.

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.
Mrs. Leathers has the abounding
sympathy of the wide range of
friends and neighbors and citizens
who have known her and her hus-

"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.

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.

"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.
