The Chronicle is the Only Paper in
The Dalles that Receives the Associated
Press Dispatches.
HANDS OFF:
Under the caption "Name the Man,"
the present week's issue of the Sun has
the following :
Some days ago the Chkoxici.e urged
that a certain merchant in this city be
boycotted on account of his having mer
chandise shipped from Portland over
the Union Pacific line. No name was
mentioned, and the action of that paper
in so doins is unjust to many of the
merchants doing business in this city.
If it is a fact that there is a business
man in The Dalles so far forgetful of the
best interests of the community as to
withhold his patronage from the people's
line, the fact bhould be definitely known.
The Chkoxici.e should name the person
so that the people generally will know
how to govern themselves "and not let
the stigma rest upon all the merchants
of the pity.
The Chronicle did not suppose there
was a five year old boy in the city who
did not know the name of the merchant
referred to. If the name was not given
it was only because the Chronicle hesi
tated to use its power to punish the
merchant as he deserved. But we have
a suggestion to pour into the capacious
ear of the scribe of the Sun. If he is so
ignorant as not to know what everybody
else knows let him call at this office and
the "devil" will furnish him with the
information. Then let the Sun publish
it to the world and when it has done
that it will have done the first thing it
ever did on behalf of the peoples' boats
eince they were put on the river. If the
Sun is so handicapped that it cannot
fight for the peoples interests, it must
keep its hands off those who are engaged,
to the best of their ability, in that work.
The Wasco San pays : "Governor
Pennoyer promptly denies the state
ment made in the Chkoxicle that he
had written to Speaker - Cri.sp regarding
an appropriation for the construction of
a portage railroad between The Dalles
and Celilo." Is the Sun sure about this?
The Oregonion says "the Governor has
not written a letter to Speaker Crisp.'!
The Sun is not exact. The Chkoxicle
'said it was "reliably informed that Gov
ernor Pennoyer had written to Speaker
Crisp" and the Chronicle says so still.
But it now goes further and it says' that
the Governor said he had written a letter
to Speaker Crisp and whenever his
excellency denies that he said so, the
Chboxiclk will give the proof. The
Chkoniclk is not a sensational , sheet
that in ami fact nres articles for occasion.
Protection Against Furnace . Heat.
The protection of workmen from fur
nace heat, as practiced at the Menden
and Schwerte iron works, in Westphalia,
is said to be by means of a rectangular
iron screen hung from an overhead rail,
Which can be made to cover the whole
working side of the furnace, or can be
pushed aside when not required r when
it interferes with the work going on.
The lower end is bent into a gutter, hav
ing a slight fall in the direction of its'
length, and the upper edge is provided
on the inside, that nearest the furnace,
with a pipe bored through with small
holes about three-quarters of an inch
apart, which is in connection with the
service pipe supplying water for cooling
the Bides of the bed.
When In use, the inside of the place is
kept constantly wet from the ' supply
pipe, the small jets trickling down to
the cooling bosh at the side; a notch at
the bottom is left for the passage of the
rabble, and a short inclined plate is pro
vided for the cinders to run over; with
these exceptions .the whole surface is
screened by the water cooled plate. It
is said that this arrangement, which
was first applied experimentally to a
few furnaces, has worked so satisfacto
rily that it has been fitted to all the pud
dling furnaces in the works named, the
operatives being thus enabled to : work
full time even in the hottest weather.- '

... A Clock .That Sounds "Taps." .
. An alarm clock is usually used for
getting poople up, not for sending them
to bed, but 1 know of at least one au
thentic case in which the latter end was
attained by it. ' ' A nervous, active wom
an, who refused to take an afternoon
nap because she could "never think of it
until it was too late," was astonished by
the gift of an alarm clock, with the dial
set exactly at 8. It sounded a regular
summons to a daily rest. Its imperative
call could not be disregarded, and in a
short time she found health and spirits
much improved by this fantastic use of
a familiar convenience. Kate Field's
Washington. ; ' : '
- ''Grave Tellins" In China.
The queerest industry in the ghostly
line in China is "grave telling," writes
William E. S. Fales, the Chinese expert,
now in the orient. When the average
Mongolian reaches manhood's estate one
of his first ambitions is to have a nice
and comfortable grave. The moment he
has. the .requisite cash, he consults , one
6r more 'grave tellers." These are old
scholars, whose scholarship has not been
appreciated by the public at large, or
who have fallen from grace by gambling,
opium smoking or other vices, and who
earn a precarious living from astrology,
clairvoyance and similar "supernatural"
sciences. The philosopher, after receiv
ing a fee whose amount is .proportional
to the wealth of his client, consults his
mystic books, draws an incomprehensi
ble diagram with points and straight
lines, and announces the day on which
it will be f undsney (good luck) to visit
certain cemeteries and burial sites.'
The day arrived the parties are on
hand, no matter what tricks the weather
may play. I have seen them in a rocky
pass where the. thermometer was 125
degs., and . in a marsh knee deep in mud
when the rain was an ice cold deluge.
They come dressed in their best clothes,
newly washed and shaven.' The grave
tellers are equipped ' with hooks, dia
grams, paper and a forked rod, strangely
resembling the divining rod with which
our ancestors sought springs and veins of
ore. The search begins with prayer, and
then comes a weary walk and talk, some
times lasting hours. The site is finally
picked out. ; ;
Often two or three sites are selected,
so that in case the use of one is prevent
ed by unforeseen circumstances another
one will be ready. The client arranges
with the owner of the land and the au
thorities, and is then prepared to die in
peace. The practice is universal and as
old as Chinese civilization. Its influence
upon the people is something tremen
dous. How to Get Employment on a Newspaper.
It is safe to say that half a hundred
men and women a day make a tour of
the New York newspaper offices trying
to find employment. A good many of
these are beginners, who have not the
slightest idea of what newspaper work
is. They think it quite easy to write,
and are ready enough to do what they
are told if employed. It is a weary
march up and down stairs, with always
the same answer, "Nothing to do." The
amateur becomes discouraged, and goes
away heartsick and weary of the effort.
"But what shall I do," once said a
young man to Joseph Pulitzer, after tell
ing the editor of The World how well he
could write and how faithful he would
be.
Mr. Pulitzer's answer always struck
me as a good one.
"I do not need writers," he" said;
"writers are plentiful enough. They
can be found anywhere. What I need
are young men of originality, and ideas
that will boom the circulation of my
paper young men of progress, who can
see ahead and who can make their own
positions by doing better work -than any
one else in their line.' A' good idea is
better than a letter of introduction. Do
not go into a newspaper, office empty
handed. Unless you have something:
good to sell keep away. Try to get np
some original unique ideas that will
create a stir in the paper.' ' That is the
only way to succeed nowadays." Foster
Coates in New York Mail and Express.
, The Old and the New.
"Of course it hurts but yon' must grin
and bear it," is the old time consolation
given to persons troubled with rheuma
tism, "it you will take the trouble to
dampen a piece of flannel with Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and bine it on over
the seat ot pain your rheumatism will
disappear," is the modern and much
more satisfactory advice. 50 cent bot
