WILL THE DALLES BE REBUILT.
"Will The Dalles ever be rebuilt?"
a question asked by many and to which
there can be only one answer and that is
it certainly will. Yesterday morning
while the rums were still burning archi
tects and carpenters were being con
suited about new buildings and long be
fore noon some hnd gone to work 'to pr&
pare the timbers. Neither the residents
nor the trade of The Dalles are transient
things and men who have lived here for
years and built up a business and made
friends are not going to leava the' pros
pects that still remain hern and begin
life anew in other places. No fire can
destroy a live town and no flames that
ever burned can kill The Dalles. The
city will rise from her ashes and be all
the more enterprising and energetic he
crfuse of her baptism of lire.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
Like the Chicago fire whose origin was
perhaps never determined, notwith
standing the tradition about Mrs.
O'Leary's cow, the origin of The Dalles
fire is involved in mystery. At least
this much is true ; the testimony con
cermng it is contradictory. One thing
alone is certain, it began in one of two
dwellings which stood side by side. One
of these was the residence of Mr. F. W.
L. Skibbe and the other of Mr. John H.
Larsen.. We ; have heard men , assert
positively that it begun in the ; former
and others as positively that it originated
: in the latter. . We thought the prepon
derance of testimony was for the Larsen
residence and so said yesterday, but are
willing to admit that we have no proof
from personal knowledge for either hy
pothesis, although wo were at the fire a
few minutes after it first broke out.
Nor does it matter where it started since
there is not the shadow of a reflection
resting on auy one on. account of its ori
gin. Mr. Skibbe has lost everything
and is without a dollar of ..insurance
while Mr. Larsen though insured for
$o00 had fully $1300 worth of property
destroyed. ' :
IN MEMORIAM.
It is with feelings of more than ordi
nary sorrow that we c'uroniclft the death
of Joseph P. FitzGerald, son of our es
teemed fellow townsman E. P. FitzGer
ald; the only death victim, as we fondly
hope, of the destructive fire that has left
our fair city in ashes. Scarcely twenty
eight hours elapsed from the time that
. the deceased rushed through the flames
of his father's burning dwelling in the
heroic but hopeless efforts to save some
of the doomed property,' till he was a
corpse. And this all there is to tell. As
we hud "it from his own lips after the
sad accident which has consigned him to
a premature ,:rave, without a thought of
, personal danger, he had simply tried to
Bave some of his father's clothing, when
the fhiuiegcntbim offandin theattempt
to reach the iJuter air his arms and
hands were reduced to a crisp, while the
upper portion of his body and neck and
face were severely burned, and as the
sequel proved, his lungs must have in-
m!ed a portion of the deadly flame.
Everything that human skill could effect
was done, but without uvail and at eight
o'clock last evening, the spirit of Joseph
P. FitzGerald forsook its fire scarred ten
ement and winged its way to the God
who gave it. To ' the bereaved father,
this is more than an ordinary sorrow.
The same blow that scattered from bis
grasp the' fruit of the labors of a long
and arduous life has stricken down, in
the prime of his young and hopeful
manhood, a beloved and devoted son.'
Beside this greater loss, the other, terri
ble and distressing' as it is, pales into'
nothingness. In the presence of this
sorrow, almost the greatest, the human
heart can know, how poor and meaning
less are words of sympathy. Our heart
the hearts of all the community go
out toward the bereaved family, while
our prayer is that the God of , all comfort
may be their stay and consoler. . Poor
Joe FitzGerald ! Honest, manly, gener
ous boy, farewell, .

A King Who Avoids the Truth..
A talk with King Milan is rich mental
pabulum for the traveler who is aweary
and athirst in the dreary conversational
wastes of the Balkans. It is an un
mixed delight, but should be partaken
of with the admixture of much salt It
is a delightful causerie., set going by
conserves after the Servian fashion, and
concluded with Turkish coffee and
cigarettes, and a more than .Persian
etiquette prevails throughout. On cross
ing over into these countries one is im
mediately forced to the conclusion that
Oscar Wilde's lament "over the decay
in ine arc or lying is at least prema
ture; and in conversation . with the ex
king yon, if you never have before, are
immediately caught, and participate in
the eccentric poet's admiration and en
thusiasm" for the ' able and : unbloshinz
story teller who never gives way to
philosophic ' doubt, and who is' aware
that the criterion of truth is fluctuating.
lung .milan falls quite naturally into
bombastic blank verse, and when warm
ing to his work even soars to rhvthmic
rhyme, . Your Servian cannot help this.
It is inherent in his language and innate
in his blood.': The minister of finance,
wnose name I would not venture to"
spell, made his ' budget report " to the
Skoupstchina three years ago in well ar
ranged quatrains. But the budget did
not balance as well 'as the Quatrains.
and while his report was received as a
markable production in literary circles,
in the world of finance it excited din-
trust and suspicion, and Servian ' bonds
would have' taken a tumble had thev not
been already .deeply .embedded in the
bottom rock of Bourse Quotations. Ste

Bill Posting In Larger CUIea.
Bill posting for places of amusement
in this city has become quite a large
business. "A theatrical " ' manager who
has spent a : good many thousands of
dollars in this form of advertising savs
about it: "No theater in this city spends
less than $100 per week in this way.
Some of them go much higher. Many
people get all of their amusement
news from the billboards. Barnum had
great faith in this kind of display. For
years it cost mm $600 per week for everv
season in this city Reckon it up, and
it can easily be figured that more money
is pain, to out posters in Hew York than
the president of the United States gets.
"The charges for nostinff are from
three to five cents per sheet per week.

weather they need frequent renewal
The poster pays rent for space, so that
the advertiser's expense is simply for
posting and keeping posters in good con
dition. ' After paying all expenses- some
posters net a better income out of the
business than the average good profes
sional man or merchant can make."

A Mad Sculptor's Wonderful Work.
When the young sculptor, John B.
Leoni, during a fit of temporary insani
ty, was held in waiting at the Burling-!
ton (N. J.) jail, pending the results of
inquiries as to his identity, he obtained
possession of a common bar of washing
soap and proceeded to. astonish the jail
ers. With, the nail of his index finger
he began to dexterously carve the soap
into the shape of the "human form di
vine." and within an incredible short
time, considering the magnitude of the
undertaking and the unbalanced' condi
tion of his mind, had produced a won
derful model of an Alpine banter.
The figure, which is bow carefully
treasured, is said to be equal to anything
ever executed by either Marcon or
Vidouquet. It represents a man with
bis right arm outstretched, the fingers of
the hand encircling the neck of a duck,
which is as carefully reproduced and as
true to nature as the figure of the hunt
er. The left hand hangs by the hunter's
side, holding a shotgun, while at bis feet
lies the figure of a dog wistfully gazing
at the game his master holds aloft

Gazelles and Human Sentiment.
In the Jardin des Plantes, at Pans, in
a fine grassy inclosure. is a group of tiny
animals, the smallest . antelopes known.
They will come, about the size of so
many cats, close behind their low wire
grating, and stand and doubtfully gaze
np at you with enormous liquid eyes.
And such is the effect of their littleness,
their timoronsness, their almost absurd
delicacy so small, so delicate, those lit
tle, little hoofs, those little tender limbs,
those fragile fawn colored sides, that
little humid twitching muzzier so small.
and yet so keenly, tremulously re in
ceptive and so intensely sensitive; so
little, yet all alive and quivering: with
nerves: so small, so weak, so helnless.
and apparently bo unfitted for aught ex
cept to apprehend; such minute atoms
and specks ' of " sentient ' beimr. so lost
amid a universe's vast incomDrehensi-'
bility that my heart has been 'smitten"
to look upon those ' miniature ' living '.
tnings, witn the quite inordinate frail tv
of their 'body and the disproportionate
gness or their eyes,-ii; . ;;;
Symbols or suggestions of humanity's
every aspect may, one fancies, be dis
covered in animal creation. And 1
think those antelopes are symbols of a
state of soul rare enough' among men,
and yet too freauent. Edward Delilla

V A Soap for Bf eta! Work. .
The soaps ' used '' for' cleaning metal
work usually consist of mixtures of vase
line, oleic acid and fat, mixed ' with a
small quantity of rouge. When freshly
prepared they leave nothing to be de
sired. : But unfortunately such mixtures
soon turn rancid, and become y unfit for
use. ' - '-.' . Y:' i- '
A soap for metal work, which is stated
to be free from this objection, is made
from cocoanut butter in the following;
way: 2.5 kilogrammes of the butter are
melted in an iron vessel together with a
little water, and to the mixture is added,
with constant ' stirring, ' 180 grammes
of etialk. 87.5 grammes of alum, 87.5
grammes of cream Of tartar and 87.5
grammes of white lead. ,
This mixture is then poured into
moulds and allowed to solidify. The
soap so obtained is made into a - paste
with water and rubbed over the metal
to be cleaned, and finally removed by a
dry rag or chamois leather. Manufact
ures. Court Bwm Fricht-
A. genuine case of fright was devel
oped a few days ago when Charles Darr,
of Colerain pike, entered' the court house
for the purpose of testifying in the case
of Thomas S. Strahan versus Isabella
Watson before Judge Bates and a jury.
Mr. Darr thus made his first appearance
in court. When he reached the large
entrance to the building, and the great
stairway loomed np before his startled
gaze, Mr. Darr's teeth rattled like casta
nets. As he slid up stairs on the elevator
several buttons dropped from his clothes,
so hard did he shiver and shake.'. As he
traveled the long corridor leading to the
court room poor Darr was completely
rattled, and a series of shrill, screams
issued from bis lips. In order to prevent
the man going insane from, childish
fright ' he was excused, and. .he made
tracks for his conntry home- at a rate
that would defy the best efforts of a fly
ing machine. Cincinnati Enquirer.
