T. C Nash Suffers
Terrible Experience.
Assaulted by Thugs Last Saturday
and Lay in a Stupor for
Three Days.
With a deadly weapon, evidently a
sandbag or a Liackjai k. a thug or thugs
dealt what may yet prove to be a fatal
blow to T. C. Nash at midnight last
Saturday. .The unfortunate young man.
who lives beyond Piedmont Junction,
was walking to his home, having Just
missed connections with the motor.
Mr. Nash had been over to the West
Side on business and had been delayed
until "quite late' in 'returning home. He
boarded .the .last car on ilie Upper Al
blna line, but through some delay on the
rojwl' mlased the motor car which con
nects at the Junction. There was but
one thing to do, that being to walk the
entire distance to his home. This he
quickly determined to do.
HIGHWAYMEN'S NIGHT.
The night was dark and the sir plere
lng cold. It was Just buiIi night us
highwaymen adellght . In. Mr. Nash
started out on a brisk walk, but had not
progressed very far before he wu
struck on the top of his head a series of
terrible . blows.
From this point all must be conjec
ture, except to the thugs. Not a thing 1
does Mr, iSash remember concerning hi
awful experience, except that he was as
saulted shortly after leaving the Junc
tion. From that time until yesterday
noon he lay unconscious at .,1s home
and he has no memory of what trans
pired. He was discovered lying beside
the track Sunday morning by Thomas
Monahan, conductor on the St. Johns
motor. As the night- was very cold,
and Mr: Nash had been exposed to the
elements for atout seven hours, he was
all but dead.
FEARFULLY BRUISED.
Er. .nlnation revealed many bruises
about the head and fbee, all of which
must have been Inflicted by awful blows
with a deadly weapon. The victim was
taken to his home, where he Is now
under the care of Dr. E. Hossitet t,The
.physician found the entire body .iiUrab
with the cold, and It seemed almost a
miracle that death did not result be
fore he was found by the conductor of
the motor car. The terrible blows that
were Inflicted, together with the ex
posure, was enough to khi any person
not possessed of extraordinary physical
endurance.
ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Robbery was evidently the motive of
the man or men who committed the as
sault, but if that was the purpose, they
were much disappointed, as Mr. Nash
had no cash valuables with him that
night. From the' number of cuts and
bruises i his face, it Is evident that the
unfortunate victim was pummelled in a
most brutal manner after having been
felled to the ground. Doubtless the thug
or thugs, after finding he had no mqney
or other valuables, took revenge by beat
ing him fearfully with a bludgeon. There
are many scalp wounds, and the face Is
also badly cut and bruised. It will be
many weeks before an of the wounds
heal and the young man is able to go
about as before the assault. In fact,
the victim will likely carry scars from
the encounter all his life.
The affair was promptly reporiea xo i
the police, bu up to date there have
been no arests. It Is rumored that other
similar, though less serious, assaults
have been made on citizens of the East
Bide.

JUST BETWEEN OURSELVES.
BY K. K. K.
ine uerman Methodists field a meeting
nt their church on Fifteenth and Hoyt
streets last liight to discuss the possibil
ity of establishing u Deaconess Home In
Portland. Rev. H. F. Iange of Connell,
Wash., us a. member of the central cora
mlttte. was present to advls. He gavs
a little sketch of the work from its ori
gin at Kalserswerth. Germany, 30 years
ago. It was u tiny affair at flrat, but has
grown until there are 10,000 deaconesses
and an annual income of several million
dollars. There are others almost us large
In Germany and this country. The last
established was at I,og Angeles, Cal.
The idea is a home for mission work.
Nurses are always ready for a call,
schools fur the poor and shelters for the
unfortunate all grow about such an In
stitution when It Is once firmly planted.
After listening to the address the audi
ence felt I'ortla'nd must have something
of the Kind, flans are under way now
but can hardly mature before late spring
or early summer.
CURRENT EENTS CLUB.
Possibly out of regard for the busy
Christinas workers the program at the
Current Exents Club last night was very
short. Every number was given a closer
attention, perhaps, certainly the selec
tions seemed excellent.
Mrs. W. Wj-nn Johnson truly said in
the. opening lines of her paper, "'Recent
"H'.conomk Literature
that no subject Is
understood so little and thought to be
understood so well as economics. She
called the neutral :osltion of the mid
dle class In the gTeat labor and capital
controversy, the salvation of society.
From their vantage ground they sea
above and below and catch the right on
both sides. Mrs. Johnson felt th labor
organizations found the excuse for their
existence' in the lack of soul In the trusts
and corporations. The laboring man must
work out his own balvatlon. Taking Car
negie's "Gospel of Wealth" as a begin
ning, Bhe ran through a number of the
later economic publications.

by Mrs. La llarre. She touched lightly
on standard works before turning to the
newer writers. It seems American books
are beln,j eagerly read In Europe. "Ben

in this country when first published, and
Aldrlch's story of the "Had Boy" Is one
of the standards, one might My. in tho
libraries of the French schools. In speak
ing of tho historians. Mrs. La Barre gave
a high rdace to Mrs. Dye and her old and
new chronicles of Oregon. President
"Teddy's" "War of 1S12" and "Winning
of the West," as well as Andrew Lang's
Bcotch history, were mentioned. In point
ing out some items of interest In the
popular works of tlctlon, Mary McLane
was called an accidental humorist.
Miss Walton had such a severe cold It
was Impossible for her to attempt the dif

BOARD MEETING.
The North Pacific Board met in tho
parlors of the First 1'resbyterian Church
yesterday for their monthly meeting.
When the roll was called ladies from Cal
vary, Westminster, the Fourth, St. John's
and the First Churches were In their
places. The feature of the meeting was
the address of Mrs. Paul, herself a na
tlve Alaskan girl, who has grown into a
cultured teacher among her people. Her
quaint expressions r he only sugges
tions of her birth.
She told an amusinp story of a mis
sionary wedding. Affairs of the kind
seem the same the world over. The
groom was a reformed Mormon fully TO
years old, but he was so happy, feel like
young man," and the Indian bride wore
a white silk dress with a shawl for the
usual veil, while the guests told funny
stories to make every one lsugh.
Mr. Keck happened to be In Portland
yesterday and he atteaded the meeting;
to give on account of his work in 8h

BAKED ICE CREAM..
It was n decided surprise at the Cook
ing School yesterday when Miss Voor
hees began her lesson with a recipe for
sponge cake. Potatoes au gratin, sally
luns and baked ice cream were what the
ladies expected. But any recipe Miss
Voorhees gives is always good, so it was
accepted as an unexpected gift of the
Gods. Later all was made clear. When
tho cake was perfectly cold the ice was
spread over the top and a final layer of
white of eggs poured over that. Even
when slipped into a hot oven for ten
minutes the cream was as solid as ever.
Eggs are a non-conductor of heat, and
tho cake, of course, didn't warm up in
so short a time. It looked as appetizing
as it afterward proved, when it came
out of the oven decked with brown points.
A new way to serve potatoes is always
accepiL ..Au gratia proved to be both
simple and delicious. It rather belongs
to the scalloped potato family. In bak
ing the eggs. Miss Voorhees suggested
saving the inside skin. This will settle
the coffee and save quite an item of ex
pense in these egg famine days.
The next meeting will come in the
first week of January.

On the question of equipping the Na

that they may be fit for aotiva servlcs
Secretary Root is Insistent. He would
like to see the citizen soldiery, given tho
regular army weapons with smokeless
powder. It Is rather, a laughing mat
ter that this nation, which is ahead in
all sorts of inventions, should permit Its
volunteers to practice with a weapon
little better than the one used at the
end of the Civil War, over thirty years
ago. In England, where the volunteeres
are much similar to the militia of this
country, the citizen fighting men al
ways havB the same weapon as that
used by the regulars. The expense
would be considerable, but It is a case of
