Weatlier forecast till IS m., Wednesday; fair, followed by light rain. Slightly cooler. FAIR The Chronicle is the Only Paper in -The Dalles that Receives the Associated Press Dispatches. ' ,. . LOCAL BREVITIES. . The Chroniclk is 50 cents per month. Put Bradford, one of the founders of the old O. S. N. Company, is in the city; Mrs. C. J. Vanduyn, of Tygh Valley, is in the city, a guest of Mrs. R. B. Hood. Wm. C. Young, representing the Fir-min-Jack Dramatic company, is in the city. We acknowledge a pleasant call from O. L. Stranahan, of Hood River, yes terday. Hugh Glenn is in receipt of some ex ; tra fine picture mouldings. See his rio "? tice in the short stops. The Dalles Merchantile company have got an order to ship two car loads of potatoes to Florence; Kansas. We are pleased to hear that Stock In spector Rice is improving and is able now at intervals, to sit up a little while. . J. C. Baldwin returned today from Portland after pnrchasing a new stock of goods, some of which arrived this morn ing. Six cars of beef cattle from Idaho are being fed at the stock yards. Two cars of sheep were shipped from there this morning for Victoria, by Jack Anderson. Word cornea from Dufur that William O'Dell of Hood River, who, as our read ers are aware, lies at Dufur at the point of death, is not expected to last more than a very few days. A party of Gypsies, comprising 15 per sons, with the usual number of horses, xiogs, birds, dirty children and Gypsy brie a brae, are catriped just east of the Wasco Warehouse. They say they cajne from Portland and are on their way to 'Spokane. A large amount of freight is arriving daily at the Wasco Warehouse, chiefly for the Prineville country. 15,000 pounds arrived yesterday, while the same day the warehouse - received 1000 pelts, mostly mutton, from the interior. The first Sabbath school picnic of the season of the M. . church will be held on next Saturday forenoon. The teach ers, scholars and friends are requested to meet at the Wasco academy grounds at 10 o'clock a. m. ' Mrs. Monroe Grimes, who has been in this city for the past few days, left this morning in company with Mr. Shearer 'for Shearer's bridge. We are pleased to hear that the lady is recovering from her late dangerous illness. Next Sunday will be services of the 'German Lutheran Congregation in the parsonage on Ninth street at 10 :30 a. m. and 7 :00 o'clock p. m. Rev. C. Vallmer ofWalla Walla, Wash.; will conduct the services. Everybody cordially invited. A. Horn, Evangelical Lutheran Pastor. , A. S. Macallister and G. J. Farley re turned from a fishing trip to Five Mile creek, last evening. Knowing that tne chronicle could not be induced to tell a "fishy" story they modestly report an aggregate slaughter of fifteen trout. Who slew them and what they paid for them they refuse to tell. Rev. Jonathan Edwards, financial agent of the Whitman College of Walla Walla, aud lecturer on Biblical litera ture and Christian evidences, is in the city and will be present at the Congre gational church to-night at the prayer meeting, which he will address. Joles Brothers presented this office with a sample cake of pure Vermont maple sugar, which they took from a 400 lb. lot which they . have just received from the East. It was simply delicious and made everybody from the "devil" down to the editor " too sweet for any thing." . vVFjom Mr. George Filloon we learn lJ the great annual shipment of threshers and engines, by Russel & Co., of Massilon, Ohio, consisting of a special freight train of twenty-five cars, will ar rive in this city tomorrow morning and Btop over for two or three hours. We presume it will be well worth seeing. Two special artists from Portland meet the train here and they are instructed to :take several pictures of the train with "natures own background." A wagon loaded with wool from the Corson place, belonging to Jack Ander- son, very nearly capsized at the east nd - of the Wasco Warehouse this morning. The leaders got scared at a iryosv camn '. located there and turning short cramped me wagon ana smasnea the coupling pole and hounds into splinters. The driver had a narrow escape, but no further damage was done. I A Chronicle Correspondent Glrea Some Points. Editor. Chronicle : I saw a well dressed man walk down Second street the other day. When I say well-dressed I mean well-dressed, not foppishly at tired. There wasn't the suspicion of a gilded youth about this man ; not a sus picion. He was a shrewd, sensible fel low enough, looked like a well-to-do bus iness man. The sort of fellow who breakfasts at home with his mother and sisters, lunches down town at a modest restaurant, and never, no never, dines at a club. The sort of man who plays pro gressive whist and likes it. Yet he did a little thing that showed a most unlooked-for taste for the pomps and vani ties. Only a little thing, but what is the proverb that says something about straws and am I clear? Well, the man was walking along peacefully enough, when a well-known about-town man strolled by. The about-town man is said to be a most reprehensible sort of a person, but he does dress exquisitely. As he passed, the staid business man looked at him. Then he looked again. He fastened his earnest eyes upon the hat of the about-town man. He watched that hat for a whole block. Then he could stand it no longer ; off came his own hat. He gazed excitedly at the rim. He said something in a smothered voice. Something far more forcible ' than polite. This is the sense of what he said : "Some-thing-or-other that hatter! He said mine was the latest shape!" This little episode filled me with an in satiate desire to find out something about men's hats. I wanted to know what was the matter with my lymphatic friend's derby. I found out.- That is what Mr. Pease, at McFarlarid & French's said : "Are men particular? Well, I think they are." "Do they return hats often after they've bought them?" "Of course they do. Now reeardinsr this comical street scene that amused you. The chances are the gentleman's hat wasn't flat enough in the brim. A shade's difference will change a stylish derby into anold-timey-palmy-day's hat, such as a certain class of theatrical men wear. The trouble with' men is this: They are fussy,' but they will not ac knowledge it. Now, it's the easiest thing in the world to press a hat into a shape becoming to the customer, but will the average man have sense enough to believe me when I tell him this?" Not he. I want the latest thing," he "and that settles it." says, So all the old jokes about new bonnets are two-edged swords, are they? I know many an uncomplaining woman who will rejoice to hear this An Omiaaion. Our attention has been called . by A I . T 1 . ...... v. ooiuiHon to an oversignt that was made in our report of the late G. A. R. proceedings at Astoria. The writer not having been present at the encampment the omission will be all the more readily .understood when we assure our readers that it wholly unintentional. We omit ted to makeany reference to the labors of one man who more than any other con tributes during the past year to place the affairs of the Oregon department of the G. A. R. in a more successful condi tional then they ever were before. One at the comrades said in the hearing of the writer, "I would not do the work that Assistant Adjutant General Myers did during the past year to place the G. A. R.. in its present admirable condition for five hundred dollars." And yet Mr, Myers did it as a labor of love without a farthing of reunmeration and the com rades justly think that any report of the encampment proceedings that would not recognize this valuable and much es teemed service would be essentially de fective. And so says the Chronicle. A Fair Young Teacher. Miss Waif Grubbs, who has been in this city for the past few weeks, engaged in drilling the young ladies of the Tab leaux d'Art Co., has returned to her home in Portland. Miss Grubbs has hosts of friends in The Dalles who will always give her a warm reception when she comes here, either in private life or in any capacity in which she can make use-other many talents. We learn that the academy at Pendleton has tendered her an invitation to come there and drill a class of young ladies for the commence ment exercises in June, which she will probably accept, and give the same class of entertainment which she so success fully produced here. Miss Grubbs has a peculiar talent for impartiug information to others and has the further faculty of imparting to her students a large share of her own enthusiasm, and if she chooses teaching as a life work she will be sure of success. ' t - An Excellent Suggestion. The editor of The Dalles Times-Moun-tatnetr draws down $50,000 from a $2,500 investmentment in Washington real es tate. Now he can build that steamer himself that will so help an open river. Astorian. John Whiteaker, Oregon's first gov ernor, .once announced in his message that Oregon's principal exports were "soap socks and pickles." If the old man were to see the grain, salmon and fruit shipments of '91 he would add a supplement. Astorian. Mrs. Kirby and daughter have gone to spend a short time with friends in La Grande. ; i An Interesting; Lecture. Dr. Mclnturf delivered one of his lec tures on Japan to a moderately filled house, in the M. E. Church last evening, The lecture occirpied nearly two hours, It was delivered in a very pleasant con versational manner, was full of interes ting facts and annecdotes illustrative of the character and habits of the Japanese and the 3850 islands that comprise the Empire of Japan. The Doctor at once put himself en-rapport with his audience by declaring that he had never seen any i rung to equal the climate and scenery around our little city. After briefly describing the topography area, climate and population of Japan, he went on to speak of her people, whom he described as very matter of fact (reminding us vividly of a Dalles editor) and illustrat ing by an incident that occurred at lecture he once gave to a lot of natives in which he informed them that one of the states of this country was larger than Japan, when he was promptly told, not that he was mistaken, but that he was a liar ! The country he described as the most beautiful and filthy in the world The growth of vegitation is so marvelous that he once saw a beautiful ship with hull and masts which had been bent in to shape while the tree was still grow mg. ihe summer clothing of the na tives is "air and sunshine," and nothing more. The people have earthquakes for breakfast, dinner and supper, and it ia uncommon for the house in which you live to rise up in the air and shake its elf, as it were, and then quietly settle down again. It rains constantly in summer, and the damp heavy atmos phere is so laden with moisture that i Jap's ear will (figuratively speaking) get blue-moulded. As a consequence Japan is a sleepy country and the Japanese are so accomplished at the business that the doctor has seen them sleeping comforta ble in -every possible position except standing heels up. Notwithstanding this they have only hard angular blocks of wood for pillows and for such purpose an oyster can is an occasional luxury The people are somewhat skilled in med icine and the arts, but while remarkable for their powers of imitation they are wholly destitute of the inventive faculty and are physically dirty and socially cor rupt to a proverb. In the art of lying they could beat Ananias himself. The doctor exhibited a number of Japanese iaois ana curios ana wound up a very entertaining and instructive lecture bv inviting the audience to come forward and examine them. A flood Performance To all theatre going folks in this city the announcement that the Annie Fir- min, John Jack Dramatic company will appear at the Vogt Grand, Thursday, April d, must have been a great pleas ure. John Jack is well known by the amusement loving public. Numbers there, are in this city who have witnessed hie performance, and all express them Belves as well pleased with him, in fact he is a uniform favorite, as also is Annie Firmin. Their attractions secure them large houses wherever they appear. The Cincinnati Gazette concedes that John jacit ia the accepted Falstaff of Shakes penan creation.
