Crandall & Burgett sold a bill of furni ture to parties in Bridal Veil yesterday, the purchasers stating that they could jtet better bargains in The Dalles than Portland. The foieman- of the building depart ment of the U. P. is in town making,, estimates for repairing the shops. Does it mean anything, and if so what? Mr. George Newak is endeavoring to get a l-cense to start a saloon in the second ward. A remonstrance is being circuited against it. Messrs. McFarland & French have placed a large order with the Boston Shoe & Leather Co. and our citizens can soon have an opportunity of wearing shoes made at the factory here. Billy Graham of the Baldwin Restau rant is up to his old tricks again. If you don't think so take a look at his front window. Mr. Graham certainly does un derstand how to decorate a window. But two prisoners are in iail awaitine the action of the grand jury, and these are held for minor offenses. It 18 there fore probable that the criminal docket will be very short. Mrs. W. P.

Already preparations for its appro priate celebration are being made. China gin and somshu fire-crackers and bombs, colored paper and lanterns are being gathered together, the small pig is varnished, and the dog tripe, dessicated saurians, smelliferous dried fish and rat sausage, are crowding the wash house larder ready for demolition. The Chinese fatted calf, so to speak, is in the shambles, and the hand painted goose hangs high. WILL APPLY HERE. Sensible Bmrki of the Portland Even . . Ins; Telegram. The Telegram of Portland makes some remarks in regard to the evening news paper field which will : apply to The Dalles as well as Portland and we re produce the article. This is a newspaper age in which com petition is so vigorous that the principle of the survival of the fittest controls the field. Only a few years have passed since the evening paper held a subordi nate position in the newspaper world. Today the situation is entirely changed. In every large city of the east and cen tral west the evening papers are equal ing their morning contempories in local sales, and in many instances surpassing them in both city and country circula tion. As mediums for all kinds of ad vertising they are eagerly employed by businessmen. The Pacific coast in general, and Port land in particular, offer even greater op portunities for the development of even ing newspapers than the east. New York city is the leading news centre of the continent, and the time of day there is three hours ahead of Portland's time. Practically, the vital news in commer cial, industrial, financial and congres sional circles is on record by 7 p. in., which is received here at 4 p. m., in i'me for publication. In this wajT the Telegram will give to its readers ali the news of the immediate day without com pelling them to wait unt'f the following morning. The subscribers in every sec tion of tbe state will be accommodated, as the trains to the south, east and north, and the boats to the west all leave in the evening utter the paper is issued. The province, however, of the evening newspaper being mainly local and pub lished at a time when people are at liberty and glad to read a bright, ener getic sheet that informs them of the dq ings and plans of their fellow-citizens, the Telegram will make a telling effort to cover the field in such a manner as to insure its own permanent prosper ity and subserve the best interests of Portland. FIVE KKGITLATOK8 AKUESTKD. They are Indicted by the Grand Jury, and Come Don From Milton. When the process of bouncing Chinese from Milton was going forward, the fun was all on the side of the regulators. The Chinese bad to go and they went nor stood upon the order of their going. Now it is the turn of the Chinese to laugh, for the strong arm of the law has interfered in their behalf. Saturday afternoon, it .appears, Si Kellev, Dan Sheats, Arthur Pierce, Charles Bartlett and Hugh Hoon, who are supposed to have been leaders of the firing party, were jointly indicted by the grand jury for assault and battery committed upon the persons of divers and sundry Chinese. The four first mentioned came down from Milton last night to answer to tbe charge, and Mr. Hoon arrived in town this morning. It is supposed by the parties arrested that Mr. W. M. Freeman, .who has de nounced the action of the regulators in his paper, brought complaint before the grand jury and caused the investigation. ihe young men indicted, who hardly look like Chinese "regulators," were arraigned in court this afternoon, and allowed until tomorrow to plead.

Shopping seems to be as brisk this year as it was last. The large shops up town have been crowded almost every day in the past week, and the extent of the buying does not suggest any unusual scarcity of money. Most of the great emporiums find it necessary in the holi day season to double and sometimes treble their detective forces. "It is am ateur shoplifting that causes us the most trouble," explained the chief detective m an extensive establishment in Twenty third street. "We know nearly all of the professionals and can spot them at the door, but there are a large number of women who come in here without the slightest intention of stealing, but who yield to the temptation to pick up little things that happen to please their fancy. "They see lots of pretty articles scat tered about loosely and apparently nn watched, and almost unconsciously they commit petty thefts. Such women, 1 presume, do not realize that they are stealing, and there are instances con stantly occurring where their consciences compel them to return the pilfered arti cles anonymously. Arrests, did you say? No: we seldom cause an arrest to be made. It is the policy of our firm to avoid scenes and scandals. When we detect any person in the act of stealing, a quiet word is generally all that is necessary to secure the return of the stolen article, and an 'amateur shop lifter' is not likely to repeat the offense after having once been found out." New York Times. - The Ailments of Royalty. Of late there have been some sinister rumors concerning the ' health of the Prince of Wales' eldest son, and every one knows how strongly insanity pre vails in the house of Brunswick. The other day the czar's uncle went raving mad at the autumn maneuvers,. and the czar himself is suffering from some mys terious nervous complaint. From Ger many again we hear of a return of the chronic illness which afflicts the young emperor and threatens to bring him early to the grave. The practical separation of the emperor and empress of Austria is a proof of . the unheal thiness of the Hapsburgs. ' ' We .know at what an early age King Alfonso of Spain died, and that his little son is very delicate, and was a short time ago so desperately ill that every one despaired of saving his life. The present sultan reigns only because the rightful heir to the Turkish throne is in a madhouse. Alone among the import ant European monarchs King Humbert of Italy can boast of sound health. On the other hand, his position on the throne is anything but secure. London Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. Died of a Bine Gummed Negro's Bite. Henry Farguson, of La Grange, Ga., colored, .died the other day from the effects of a bite on the hand three months ago by Joe Strozier. Blood poisoning ensued and he could get no relief. The negroes claim that Strozier is a blue gummed negro, and they regard a bite from one of that kind as poison ous as that of a rattlesnake. Very few negroes would have anything to do with his burial on account of their supersti tious fears in regard to a death of this character. Cor. Atlanta Constitution. A Congressman Study luff Law. The Hon. William T. Crawford, con gressman elect from the Ninth district of North Carolina, has entered the law class at the North Carolina university, and hopes to complete the course before entering congress. He is said to be a young gentleman of decided ability and one of the best stump speakers in the state. Baltimore Sun. Eighty-six and Walked Fifteen Miles. CoL John Clark, of this city, if a re markably hale and vigorous man for one of his age, 86 years, as everyone remarks who witnesses his erect form and firm step as he passes along the street. He recently walked around the cape, a dis tance of fifteen miles, in a trifle over six hours. Gloucester (Mass.) Times. Pennsyrrmnla's Dark Bel, An interview with a citizen of Ridg way, Elk county, develops some ., facta of interest concerning the tanning in dustry. Ridgway is the centre of the hemlock bark industry of northern Penn sylvania. "The hemlock industry of the state," said he, "is about 75 by 150 miles in extent, and the tanneries located in that district have extra facilities for se curing bark. The cost of hemlock bark at Ridgway is' about $5- per cord. The tanneries located at that point consume about 40,000 cords a year. Large quan tities of their products find ready markets in Europe." Said one of the leading tan ners: "The cost of bark transportation has become of late years a very important element in the success of the tanning in dustry. . Bark is bulky and cost of transportation long distances adds very materially to the cost of leather. Penn sylvania has advantages over New Eng land tanning centers by reason of its nearness to West Virginia bark regions. Tanneries located in the very midst of the bark districts have, of course, special advantages which count in these days of close margins. We have reached a time when all opportunities for reducing cost must be watched, and the manufacturer who fails to do so is apt to be left." Shoe and Leather Facts. They Don't Live in Tenement Hoasea. A young woman who, as the mission ary of an east side chapel, spends her me administering to the physical and spiritual wants of the poor people in her parish, has a hopeful view of the future of the German immiizrants. am one whom nearly all her work is done. She says: As soon as the children learn to roeak English they pick up American ideas. and before lonjj a certain amount of pride manifests itS9lf. A curious indica tion of this is that none of the English speaking young people will admit that they live in tenement houses. If you ask them they will always tell you that their home is in a flat house, while a few have reached a pitch of refinement where the dingy old buildings become apartment houses. If you went into some of the homes. through the dark halls and up four or five flights of rickety stairs, you might ask yourself what a tenement house real ly is. The young persons there, how ever, will tell you that the Hebrews in Essex and Ludlow streets live in tene ment houses. This pride may be false, but it is akin to ambition, and will make good American men and women of the grandchildren of the immigrants. New York Tribune. About Vegetables. Vegetables of all available kinds should always be found upon our tables, as they have a direct chemical and re medial action upon our bodies. Onions and asparagus are particularly recom mended for rheumatism and rheumatic gout; cauliflower has a tonic effect upon the system, and boiled peas contain 93 per cent, of nutriment, which is almost equal to the value of wheat bread. Po tatoes are certainly a very desirable part of our meals, and lettuces, carrots and cabbages would be much easier digested but for the artificial methods of cooking and seasoning which are employed by the modern civilized cook. Vegetables should never be put into the cellar, as many of them contain acids which will absorb the poison of the ground air, and, if eaten, will prove very unhealthy, and if allowed to remain will rapidly decompose and fill the air which arises to the npper rooms with a poison that will undoubtedly cause much mis chief. Potatoes should not be exposed to the sun, but kept in some dry place where the light and air can always strike them. Hall's Journal. Safety on Railroad Train. Some time ago railroad men engaged in a discussion through the newspapers about the safest position for a traveler to assume when on a train, and it seemed to be agreed finally that the person who took a seat on the right hand side of the middle car of the train, in a seat as near the middle as possible, would have a bet ter chance of escaping injury in an acci dent than one who sat somewhere else. "I never was satisfied that there was anything in that theory," says A. D. Martin, a St. Louis traveling man, "but it is' astonishing to notice how many people believe in it. You see the effects of the publication everywhere you go on a railway train. People crowd the mid dle car of a train, and get on the right hand and as near the middle of the car as they can. I nave seen on the Iron Mountain the seats on the right hand side of the car crowded, although it was sunny there, while the seats on the other side were nearly empty." St. Louis Chronicle. Treatment of Factory Hands. Superintendents of factories would do well to regard attentively the regime which exists in a wool spinning mill in Norway. AH the unmarried hands, both male and female, are engaged for a fixed yearly salary, and get board and lodging at the works. There is a large kitchen and a large dining room, where the em ployer and employed dine together. The owner's wife herself superintends the cooking. The bedrooms and the other apartments are roomy and well venti lated; the women sleep in one end of the building and the men in the other. They all look healthy and fresh, and very un like ordinary factory hands. New York Commercial Advertiser. Small Navies. Greece and Portugal, having special reasons for strengthening their forces, have each laid down ambitious naval programmes. Denmark, Norway and Sweden and Holland are doing a little in the way of building. In South America, the Argentii Republic, having expan sive ideas of her future, has planned for considerable additions to her fleet. Whether the monetary disturbances will cause their relinquishment is not yet known. Brazil is a good second, Chili a better third, and the remainder of our American sister republics are out of the race. New York Herald. ftOHTH DflliliES, Wash.
