STRIKING TESTIMONY.
The American Wool Reporter, published
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia, ia
the chief organ of the woolen manufac
turers of the United States. It earnestly
opposed the McKinley bill, and still
criticises some features of it ; yet it says :
"In less than two years a remarkable
change has been wronght ; and it may
be noted right here, and we affirm it
with considerable emphasis, that the
change is a direct result of the schedule,
which is a bar to the importation of
many goods formerly imported. And it
may not be amiss to say that this change
has occurred without any appreciable,
if any .change in prices to the consumer.'
The same publication says further:
"The year just ended was a wool . dress
goods year; it witnessed the largest pro
duction of fancy goods this, country has
ever reached. Not only this, but it
marked the beginning of a new era in
the industry, an era which is likely to
bo a not able one. Probably never before
in the hietory of the industry has the
prospect for the future been as bright
and promising as at the present time.
After years of struggles against adverse
influences, the domestic manufacturer
sees a future before him that offers every
encouragement; with a firm foothold
gained, and both feet planted, .there
seems to be little in the way of a steady
march forward. The foreign competitor
has been shut out, so far as pertains to
the great bulk of goods that go ,to the
masses, and the field is his own. It is a
fflorious nreWnt. iml nrnmtaaa tn ho a
more glorious future.!'
The Oregon Pioneer society whose an
Biial meeting will be held in June, is
taking steps to have its anniversary on
the centennial of the discovery of the
Columbia river. Should the movement
succeed it is expected that the United
States government will consent to send
to Astoria two or three war ships to give
added interest to the occasion in the
way of firing appropriate salutes. We
understand the matter is in the hands
of a coimuitte of the Pioneer society
which is expected to report at an early
-day. We hope the report may be favor
able to the carrying out of the programme
suggested. It would be most fitting
that the two events should become one
and their joint celebration would attract
a crowd of visitors that would undoubt
edly make the day a grand success.
Geo. Weir, the once genial manager of
Stavcr & Walker's Inland Empire
branches, has become so ill that he has
been removed to Portland, Lis former
home, reduced to a mere skeleton.

stricken provinces in Russia. The

'. The iithlcs of Story 'Telling.
It seems to us that in good ' fL :tion e vil
mut appear as a foil for good; that it
must be set over .against righteousness
so as to make black black indeed and
white purely white. .The story teller
need have no express moral, hobby to
ride post haste; his tale will he all the
better if told with the pure lov of story
telling: but we may be quite ure that
his taste is nnsonnd if he chooses a
salacious story to tell and gives it the
unction of personal rehearsal. Here, in
deed, is where we would draw the line.
Evil can be used by the artist with clean
hands and to wholesome effect by con
trasting it with a healthy, solid protec
tion of good.
The chief trouble with current realism
is that it does not do this, but chooses to
. set hopeless evil and nerveless common
place side by side without any trium
phant moral heroism to dominate or neu
tralize it. The ethics of fiction shine in
the character, the moral nature of the
story, more than in the ostensible or
even the actual moral purpose of the
author. It ia the general effect that the
work is likely to produce when read by
the aggregate of readers, which must be
a large element, of . the test. phautau
quan. ' ' , .' ' "

How prevalent dueling wan at one
time in Ireland may, be gathered from
the fact that men of the highest, dignity
and most responsible position were ready
to eat fire and taste steeL ' The lord
chancellor, Lord Clare, fought the mas
ter of the rolls, Uurran. The chief jus
tice. Lord Clonmel, fought Lord-Tyraw-leyand
two others. The chancellor of
the exchequer, Isaac Corry, fought
Henry Orattan.. The provost of Trinity
college. Mr, Henry Hutchinson, fought
the master in chancery, Mr. Doyle. ;
O'Connell fought and killed Mr. d'Es
terre, the champion of the Dublin cor
poration, and,' as Barrington, says, tht
duel was "fatal to the champion of Prot
estant ascendancy.' These are not the
only : eminent Irishmen who fought
duels, for Sir Jonah Barring) on states
that during his "grand climacteric," 227
memorable duels had been fought He
tells us of one man who had fought no
less than sixteen duels, and Mr. S. C.
Hall describes a field near (lastlebar,
where it was stated that sixty fvtal
duels had taken place the lst being
that of an uncle . who had shot his
nephew or a nephew who had shot his
uncle. Leeds Mercury.
New Wonders In Electric Lighting-.
By means of currents alternating with
very high frequency Professor . Nikola
Tesla has succeeded in passing by induc
tion through the glass of a lamp energy
sufficient to keep a filament in a. state of
incandescence with the use of connect
ing wires. , He has even lighud a room
by producing it in such a condition that
an illuminating appliance may be placed
anywhere and lighted without being
electrically connected with anything.
He has produced the required condi
tion. by creating in the room powerful
electrostatic field alternating very rapid
ly;' He suspends two sheets' of metal,
each connected with-one of the terminals
of the coil. ' If an exhausted tube is car
ried anywhere between these sheets or
placed, anywhere.it. remains always, lu
minous,. ;;; , V1
The extent to which this method of
illumination may be practically avail
able experiments' alone can decide. In
any Case our insight into the possibili
ties of static electricity hair been, extended,-
and . the .ordinary iclectric machine
will cease to be regarded, as a mere toy'.
