The national association of. woolen
manufacturers in their memorial to con
gress asking that the woolen industry of
the country be granted a rest from any
further tariff agitation make the fallow
ing statement which any one at all
familiar with ruling prices for woolen
manufactures .will readily believe:
"There has been no increase whatever
in the market price of domestic woolen
goods. On the contrary, all staple
woolen goods and most of the fancy
goods may now be obtained in the
greatest abundance at a cost to custom
ers less than ever before in the history
of the country except in time of univer-
sal panic and financial crisis. It may be
that recent tariff legislation had nothing
to do with bringing this state of affairs
about, but if it has had the country wi 1
be able to stand a whole lot more of the
same kind of legislation.
The East Oregonian is crying for taffy
from its Portland namesake. It com
plains that since the man from St. Paul
"has had charge of affairs the niggardly
policy of the Oregonian" has prevented
its contemporaries from receiving mem
tion in its ediloral columns when they
have-done things well and deserved
mendation." It adds "The Oregonian
cannot expect to receive what it is too
. proud to give," a hint, by the way, that
. the Pendletonpaper will give no taffy
to the Portland paper unless the latter
presents the first chunk. Then , the
-East Oregonian drops into its usual vein
nd says "Thats' the policy of the
ignorant, narrow, selfish autocrat;" but
just -whom the reference is to is not
clear. It is clear however that the
Pendleton paper wants taffy" from the
.great daily and wants it awful bad. "
It is a Mrs. Mary Robinson of Hub
bard, Clackamas, county, 56 years old
and the mother of eight children who is
the latest victim of a desire to ride from
ocean to ocean on a bicycle. ' Fool

penses, and valley papers say she will
start as soon as she makes up her mind
whether to ride like a clothes pin or the
other wav. .

Governor Pennoyer, yesterday, re
mitted the fine of $500 against Thos. E.
Russell, convicted with the last term of
the Circuit Court of assault with a dan
gerous weapon upon Dr. J. . C. Gray,
upon the condition that he should leave
the state and remain away permanently.
Russel has Berved about two months of
his sentence. Now Russel refuses to ac
cept the pardon, on condition that he
leave the state, and has so notified the
officials. His attorney L. Bilyeu, gave
notice today of the appeal of the case to
the supreme court.
A conference of grangers and alliance
men was held lately in Eugene when
the following resolution was adopted :
"Resolved, that we, the members of the
grange and alliance, disclaim all political
action by our organizations, but we feel
it to be our duty and privilege to de
mand that each political party at the
convention shall place men in nomina
tion for eounty judge, commissioners
and members of the legislature who are
in sympathy with the farming interests
of the-state. We further agree and be
lieve it to be our dut to wiHihold our
votes from all unworthy candidates.
Now that t'le Oregon Pacific railroad
has again passed into control of the
bondholders, the inhabitants of Eastern
Oregon confidently look forward to re
moval of all the difficulties that have re
tarded the progress and prosjerity of
the road during the past few years. The
Corvallis Gazette, which has the reputa
tion of speaking from the card in "-matters
pertaining to the road, says : The
plan of reorganization provides ample
means for the completion and equip
ment of the road to its eastern termi
nus at Boise City; also provides ample
means for additional steamers to carry
their extensive freight and passenger
traffic between Yaquina and San Fran
cisco, thereby providing a better and
more reliable service. Under the new
organization the companv is free from
debt and with 146 miles of roadbed,
complete, equipped with rolling stock,
etc., and one ocean steamer, and three
rjver steamers, is in an excellent condi
tion to begin a new era of prosperity.

II ow Prioc Lucien Bonaparte Wan I.' fled.
It was said that there was no word in
language or dialect Which Pfince Lucien
was unable to trace to its etymological
source. But he got fogged once. It was
at Exeter. He was seeking a knowledge
of the great Devonshire language from
Mr. Baixd.the poet in dialect of the Dev
onshire nation. He asked : at a well
known newspaper office where Mr. Baird
wrote his weekly verses, "Is Mr. Baird
in?" There was a boy at the counter.
Tho boy replied with an affirmative
which can be only dimly rejrresented by
the letters "uff," made by drawing the
breath inward. The prince repeated the
question. Tbe boy again breathed him a
reply. The prince became angry. "I
ask is he in?" The boy again drew in his
breath between bis bps. Then the prince
smiled. Mr. Baird met him and fonnd
that he had forgotten his vexation in his
desire to investigate a new etymological
problem. "What do you mean in Dev
onshire," he cried, "by uff7" For half
an hour the prince and the poet tried to
get to the bottom of the problem, when
at last the fact dawned on Mr.-Baird's
mind that he had tried to teach the prince
what was tin teachable. He made the
prince so disconsolate that the people in
the county are quite capable of saying
that Prince Lucien died of vexation at
Ids inability to say "Yes" in the great
Devonshire language, or to explain the
origin of an inspiratory affirmative. .

Copper" Mines In New Jersey.
Copper mines were operated before the
Revolution near Flemington, N. J., by
an English company, and since that time
the history of these deposits has been a
varied one. In 1836 a company was
formed with the intention of developing
the copper on the Rockafellow property.
Three English miners were engaged, and
in opening one of the pre-Revolutionary
shafts, about fifty feet below the surface,
they came across some mining ., tools,
such as. wedges and picks and an oak
bucket, strongly bound with iron,., of
, about two bushels capacity. They found
an irregular chamber about fifteen feet
square from which fliey believed copper
ore had been taken. : i .. ;. ,
This experiment was a failure, as were
the attempts of numerous companies for
the next thirty years. , The best results
ever secured was to produce copper at
the cost of one dollar a pound when it
was selling at eighteen cents in the mar
ket. The trouble appears to be that the
copper exists ouly in small pockets and
not in sufficient quantities to pay for the
labor of getting it out. Philadelphia

' Celt and Saxon. V
One of Sheridan's tales was of an
Irishman who met a Briton, of 'the true
John Bull pattern, standing with folded
arms in a contemplative mood, apparent
ly meditating on the greatness of his
little island.
"Allow me to differ with ye!" ex
claimed the Celt." '
"But I have said nothing, sir," replied
John Bull. . -
"And a man may think lie as well
as publish it," persisted the pugnacious
Hibernian.
"Perhaps you are looking for fight?"
queried tho Briton.
."Allow me to compliment yez on 'the
quickness of your perception," said Pat
rick, throwing down his coat, and then
they pitched in. Washington Post.
Couldn't Collect with a Club.
It is astonishing. how history repeats
itself. For centuries wehave been try-.
tag to perfect the laws' so that no trace
might be left of "the good olT rule; the
simple plan, that , he may take who has
the right, and - he may keep" who can"
Still we are a long- ways from the mil
lennium, and every once in awhile some
worthy citizen relapses to the feudal
principle of trying to punch the head off
s creditor when he fails to observe . the
sacred traditions of steamship day. An
exasperated Market street tailor way
laid a frisky advertising agent the other
evening on the steps of his boarding
house and collared him.
"If yotf don't pay me that bill this in
stant fll club the life out of you," said
the -victimized tradesman. The adver
tising agent cast an anxious look around
and there wasn't a soul in sight. Every
one waa in the crowded dining room.
His resolve was instantly taken.
"Come right into the parlor- and I'll
give it to yon," he said, with a smile,
and the man with the bludgeon released
his grip on bis collar and followed him
until the swinging doors of the dining
room flew open and the astonished tailor
stood confronting the staring crowd.
"Do any of yon ladies and gentlemen
know this man?" asked the agent. ' The
boarders glared over their knives and
forks and shook their heads. "1 thought
not. I found the fellow out in the cor
ridor trying one of the doors with a
skeleton key, and I guess he's the man
that's beeH robbing the hat rack lately."
The positive resistance and declarations
of the creditor only made his case worse,
and when the help, got through dusting
him with, his own club the'ashman would
have hesitated to pick him up from the
sidewalk. San Francisco Chronicle.
A Itlack Cat in a Courtroom.
Toward the close of the trial of M. F.
Kerr .of Crawfordsville, Ind.. for forgery,
an incident occurred which, while amus
ing, demonstrated that the average
American still believes in the efficacy of
"signs." During a lull in the proceed
ings a strange black cat, with fierce,
glaring eyes, appeared in' the doorway,
causing a solemn silence to fall over the
assembly. It paused, looked about, and
slowly swishing its tail to and fro ad
vanced toward the space between the
prisoner and the jury's box. The si
lence became oppressive, and the judge,
lawyers, jurors and prisoner craned their
necksand with open - mouths gazed at
the creature.
- ".'Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touched?" If so the man
was innocent and would be freed. "
After standing as if transfixed for sec
onds it approached, the prisoner, who
with a superhuman effort stretched
forth his hand and touched the glossy
fur. : Immediately the cat gave a joyous
"meow" and disappeared. All were con
vinced that Kerr would go free. He was
acquitted. Cincinnati Enquirer.
, Real Bakes in the Wood.'
The two-pretty little children of David
Wismer, of Quakertown, figured in the
role of the "Babes in the Wood" a few
days ago, but were rescued ' before the
birds ' had. occasion to cover them up
with leaves. They suddenly took it in
their heads, while playing in the street,
to make a pilgrimage, and set out with
no further preliminaries than the prince
in the fairy tales. They came, at last to
the road' at Perkasie. several miles
away, but still were unweary, and kept
on their journey over the hills. Wonder
ing farmers gaped at them as they
passed.
The little ones soon struck tho woods
and wandered around among the trees
until dusk deepened into evening, when
they composed themselves complacently
for slumber beneath the overhanging
branches. . Meanwhile tho frightened
father had spread the alarm, and was
fast on their heels. . He traced his .babes
to the woods, where he awoke them,
and took them home with him- hal

A Curious Clock.
A novel clock is now being exhibited
by the Watchmakers' unionin London.
It is- of wood, beautifully carved and
stands six feet in height. The case is a
perfect fort in miniature, and instead of
a bell and striking hammer the hours
are announced by a bugler, who emerges
from a door at one side of the fort and
blows the call to assemble and march.
Almost instantly doors open -on ali
sides. : A ! regiment of automatic sol
diers, six . abreast, march out, wheel to
the left, stop a few seconds to "mark
time," and then march through another
part of the fortress to the barracks.
These marches and countermarches oc
cur each hour. - If they come out to an
nounce the hour of 1 o'clock, one soldier
fires his tiny gun. At 2 o'clock two sol
diers fire thei; . pieces, increasing' with
the hour , until the twelve leaders- fire
their guns, the rear ranks bowing their
heads and pointing with their bayonets
toward the dial of the clock. Chicago

Among the strange fatalities of the
year there are none more noteworthy
than those surrounding the colonelcy of
the Twenty-first infantry. In less than
