OCEAN JBAR, BAY, DOCK AND RIVER LITTLE COMIC TRAGEDY BACK OF THE SCENES ON SUNDAY NIGHT. The steam schooner Hornet of San Francisco entered this port yester day at high noon, and docked an hoar later at the Callender pier where the discharged about 20 tons of local freight before leaving up for Port land. This is the Hornet's first voy age to Astoria. She has a heavy general cargo, with lots of cement, a commodity that is wanted very badly in this port just now, and a goodly share of what she carried of cement, was for Astoria, but could not be had as it was cargoed below the Portland stuff, and will Jiave to be freighted back here. The Hornet is a "three-year-old" Aberdeen-built vessel of 660 gross tons, 402 tons; 176 feet long, 38 feet beam, and 12-5 feet depth; carries a crew of 18 men and officers, and is registered out of the Bay City. The steamer Lurline wenp up stream from here last evening with plenty of cargo, and the following named people as passengers from this city: Rev. W. Seymour Short. Frank Spittle, Jos. Driscoll, F. Jacob aon, S. Turner, H. J. Hemstreet, H E. Deputy, G. D. Shreve, G. M. Hunter. Mrs. William Oxman. and D. B. Smith. The dandy lighthouse tender Col mbine came into port on Sunday last from Seattle where she went on the drydock to have her hull painted. Captain Richardson and his officers and men are all well, and the shin will be. promptly put in shape for cruise in Alaskan waters for the purpose of delivering supplies of ail sorts. The Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company's cannery tender North Star, the last of the Columbia salmon-Beet bound for Bristol Bay, de parted yesterday morning, with about 20 of the company's people on board, and was given a string of farewell "toots" and she ran down the bay and over the bar, on her way to the far north where she will figure for the next four months. The 3000-ton British tramp stearrf ship Century is due to enter this port sometime today, having left Victoria at 3 o'clock on Sunday morning. It is not known just what she is billed to carry away nor where she is bound for, but this will develop very short ly after her arrival. , The steamship Senator, on her next to the last trip in her present service arrive in yesterday, at 6:30 p- m., from San Fraancisco. and after dis charging freight and passengers at the O. R. & N. docks, went on up stream. She discharged 40 tons of local freieht him. THE ASTORIA RESTAURANT 399 Bond Street Will Continue Under tha Manage ment of MANG HING The Finest Meals Served in Astoria Your Patronage Solicited. Courteous Treatment to All. The departure of the steamer Al liance from this port on Sunday morning last without docking here and taking certain freight, baggage an passengers, is sharply resented in several instances about town. It is an irregular way of fulfilling an ad vertised and regular steamship busi ness, to say the least of it. The steamer Alliance reached this port from Portland at 5 o'clock on Sunday morning, and Captain Par sons kept right on to the bar and went on his way to sea and Marsh field. The steamer Eureka, bound out for he port of that name, arrived down early on Sunday morning and went to sea almost directly. The steamer Olympic was among the early morning get-aways from this port on Sunday morning last, bound for the Golden Gate. The steamer Casco arrived down the river on Sunday morning last very early, lumber laden for San Pedro, and went over the bar with out delay here. The French bark Jacobson went up stream early on Sunday, on the lines of the Ocklahama, which ar rived down' at midnight Saturday after her. The steamship Riverside from San Francisco, entered these waters early yesterday morning, and went direct ly on to the metropolis from here. The steamer Johan Poulsen went to sea, from Knappton, early on Sunday morning, bound for San Francisco, with lumber up the Columbia. The steamer F. S. Loop was an early arrival in these waters yester day morning, and passed on up stream after a brief stay at the Cal lender. The steamship Geo. W. Elder is due to enter port this morning at an early hour, from her California ports of call, with freights and passengers. The steame- Argo is due to sail from flip CMenAer nier at an earlv hour tomorrow morning, with freight and passengers, for Tillamook Bay points. The steamship Breakwater was on time here Sunday morning from Coos Bay, and after a short stay at the O. R. & N., went on up stream. The little handful of people who sat in the Astoria Theatre Sunday night and listened to the troubador like notes of the Black Patti and her dusky followers probably were un aware of the fact that there was something in the nature of a strike or a lockout going on back of the drop curtain. Yesterday Manager Hanlon was busy engaging a new stage force. He also "fired" some of them Sunday night, but took them back when he saw that all started to walk out to- igether. Now it is hinted that the five members of the stage force are noing to call their affair a lockout and will try to see that no one else gets their jobs after the improved fashion of modern unions. The trouble happened something like this: The manager pays $10 for each performance for the stagehands. Out of this the stage manager is sup nosed to pay the other four helpers. Sunday night the men say, Manager Hanlon walked back of the stage and announced that he would cut the $10 down to $7.50 which meant there would be less money for each man They felt they couldn't do the work at the reduced wage and kicked. I he stage manager for the Black Patti show also sot into the game; he ai leeed that his company has as much right to a full stage force as any other afftrreitation that played mere, and he insisted on the full force. The house managed told them they could take it or leave it and they imme diatelv walked out. Finally the matter was patched up by Mr. Hanlon agreeing to pay the old rate, with an assurance, so the men understood, that they were not to be docked in the future. Had the demands of the men not been airreed to Sunday night there probably wouldn't have, been any show, as they were prepared to go out in a body.

CHICAGO. April 26.-More than 100 Chicago girls, pretty, vivacious and fairly well to do. want husbands that is, if they can find the right ones. The responses of these young women, describing their ideal man, were read last night at the Halstcd Street Institutional church by the Rev. D. D. Vaughan, during the course of a sermon on "The Model Husband." A majority of the young women writers surprised both (he poster and congregation by stating positively that they wanted their husband to be "the real boss." They also declared it was not necessary that he be hand some, wealthy, talented, or a "swell dresser" but it was insisted in every case that he be a man who was cap able of real love- The word "love" was underscored in most of the let ters. The feminine candidates prac tically were agreed that their future "better halves" must be "good heart ed, kind and affectionate." Business or professional men were not prefer red by most, but "clean, honest men, who make clean money", were desir ed. Dr. Vaughan secured the opinions of the young women by sending out a letter in which he propounded the following questions regarding the model husband: "1. Do you want him to be the head of the house? "2. Do you want him to always follow your bidding? "3. Do you want him to give his time to succeed in business or to his home? "4. Do you care whether he loves yoti or do you merely want a home? 5. Do you prefer a business or a professional man? "6. Must he be wealthy? "7. Must he be handsome? "8. Must he be a swell dresser? "9. Must he be educated or talen ted?" Next Sunday night will be devoted to the model wife. "1. Must she be pretty? "2. Must she be a good cook and a good housekeeper? "3. Must she be vivocious or quiet? "4. Must she be stylish? "5. Must she be a society or a home girl? "6. Must she be a college gradu ate? "7. Must she be talented? "8. Do you prefer a 'new woman' or the old fashioned kind. "0. Must she have a good dis position? "10. May she be a clubwoman, reformer or interested in politics? "11. Do yau want a clinging ivy or a sturdy oak?" of the Ridge building, a four tory brick and stone business and otlicc structure on Walnut street near Ninth.
