Ordinance Not Yet Signed
Mayor Smith hat not yet aigned
the Curtia ordinance which providei
for the cloning of lalooni on Sunday
and for the forfeiture of license! upon
a aecond conviction, and it la aaid to
be perhapi doubtful that he will. If
the Mayor vetor the ordinance It
will probably be upon technical
ground. The ordinance niakea the
keeping open of a aaloon on Sunday
, a "nuisance," and the question might
arise if the city council can declare
that to be a nuiaance which at com
mon law or Inherently ia not a nuia
ance; It providei for the closing of
all "houe or placet" In which liquor
la kept for alc, which might compel
the closing down of hotela and room
ing houses; and for such reason as
this it i hinted the Mayor doe not
look upon the measure with favor.
There were many new spring
suits on the streets Sunday, and

In Detroit, Mich.
Giles B. Johnson, the Astoria gen
eral agent for the A. & C. lines, now
F.ast on a vacation, writes the Astor
ian from Detroit, under date of the
15th; but the brevity of the communi
cation leave much to the imagination
to complete. For-instance, he says
that for one day he was "over the line
in Canada," but does not say whether
his short stay there was due to the
activity and persistance of the Cana
dian police, or what. Again, he says,
"I would like to own this town,"
evidently referring to Detroit; which
leaves the natural inference that he
was warming up to that condition in
which men sometimes think they
really do own the town; and then his
writing is of a sort to create suspic
ions and lend color to the worst pos
sible construction on the matters al
luded to. Thus do wandering citizens
fail to properly account for their
whereabouts and actions when 'they
are a long way from home. The
Astorian hopes all h well with Mr.
Johnson, but , .
Foreman Disappears.
Hong Yick & Company, the Chinese
contracting firm, of this city, makes
it known that one U. Hirrayama, a
Japanese, heretofore contracted to
serve as foreman of the Japanese
employes of the Columbia River
Packers' Association at Nushagak,
this season, has decamped from this
city, nad his whereabouts are un
known. They aver that he left on or
about February 14th last, and took
with him the sum of $850, advanced
to him by the contracting firm on the
6th of January; and that unless he
returns before Monday next, they
will proceed to secure another fore
man in his place and stead. Hong
Yick Company is located at 340 Bond
street, in this city. n

YOUTHFUL BEGAR WAS
RAKING II COI'i
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS
YOUNQ CHAP HAD MADE
$8-40.
A youthful beggar struck town
about noon yesterday and at once
started out to put in a half day'
work. He pretended to be deaf and
dumb, though whether this was mere
ly i pretense or not wasn't definitely
ascertained, and there is the bare
possibility that he was thus afflicted.
To each persons that he accosted he
handed out a card stating that he was
deaf and dumb and wished to secure
money to take him to an institution
where he could learn a trade. Final
ly some one telephoned to the police
and the young beggar was rounded
At the police station ?8.40 was
found in his pockets and he cheerful
ly stated that he had secured all of
that in his two hours' begging in
Astoria. He was placed in a cell and
later released with the definite under
standing that he leave town on the
evening train. The young fellow
seemed to be an old hand at tKe
business arid was evidently -a "dope
fiend" also.
. If he was really, deaf and dumb
there would not have been the slight
est difficulty in gaining access to any
one of the numerous state institutions
without the slightest cost to himself
or any one else, and the deaf and
dumb "racket" is one of the com
monest forms of affliction pretended
by sturdy beggars who seek to play
on the sympathies of the charitable.
At the rate he was starting out he
probably would have taken in $25 or
perhaps $50 here in a couple of days.
Despite all the warnings that are giv
en about beggers the Astoria public
seems to like to be' roped in. All
begging is against the law.
One of the business men offered to
p?y the young chap for carrying in
some wood. He immediately wrote
on his card: "Not me." He inform
ed the police that he was a Spaniard
and that his name is Harry Fletcher.

Boy Falls 22 Feet
Little Raymond Hoefler, who has
attained to the ripe age of three and
half years, while playing back of his
father's store Friday afternoon, fell
to the tide flats below, a distance
of 22 feet. Mr. Hoefler heard the
lad cry as he struck the ground and
hastened down and picked him up.
He had apparently struck on his head
and shoulders, and his face was bleed
ing badly. Though the "wind" was
knocked out of the little chap he was
conscious and gritty and in a short
time was apparently as well as ever.
That he was not killed seems almost
miraculous.

DEATH OF BISHOP
One Of His Old Friends is Also
Critically 111.
KALAMAZOO, Mich., March 20
A touching incident in connection
with the death at Grand Rapids yes
terday of Bishop George D. Gillespie
of the Episcopal diocese of Western
Michigan is found in the fact that one
of the Bishop's oldest friends, Dr. E
H. Van Dusen. formerly of this city,
but now of Goshen, N; Y. cannot act
as one of the pall bearers, in compli
ance with the Bishop's last expressed
wishes. Dr. Van Dusen is himself
lying critically ill at his home in New
York State. Another , old friend
whom Bishop Gillespie in his last
hours named as a pall bearer is Rev.
Father Frank A. O'Brien, dean of St.
Andrews Roman Catholic Cathedral
here. Father O'Brien was a fellow
member with Bishop Gillespie many
years ago on the Michigan state
board of corrections and charities.
