Fire at Mr. H. C. Nielsen's Store. '
JNight before last as H C. Kielsen, the
popular clothier, was putting out the
light of the last lamp in his store, pre
vious to closing up", the wire by which it
was suspended to the ceiling broke and
let the lamp fall to the floor, spilling the
oil which, becoming ignited, for a time
threatened the distructipn of his im
mense stock of clothing. The fire was
fortunately soon extinguished by throw
ing clothing on the flames, and the dam
age 'to clothing and 'store" furniture
amounted to only a little over foO. It
was altogether fortunate to Mr. Nielsen,
that no greater damage was done as he
had, juBt a few hours before the occur
rence, placed on nis shelves and coun
ters the last case of a full line of spring
clothing and gent's furnishing goods,
which he considers the finest lot of
goods in this line he has ever exhibited
to the people of this city. A visit to the
store today fully confirmed thetruth of
this opinion. Every counter and shelf
and every other available space was oc
cupied and Mr. Nielsen, himself an ar
dent free trader, assured the reporter,
that notwithstanding the McKinley bill
hia new stock of clothing is fully as cheap
as anything Of similar quality he has
ever offered to the public, and hand
some alU-wool suits, wholly of .Oregon
manufacture, at the . low price of $10
each, fully confirmed.this opinion.

- Let Us Start a Warehouse. '
W. E. Walthers the obliging and gen
tlemanly assistant of Maya & Crowe of
this city, got a postal card from a well
known warehouse of 'The Dalleslast
Monday, informing him that a package
lay at the warehouse addressed to him
on which there was a freight charge of
25 cents. Mr. Walthers went to the
warehouse on Tuesday morning and
found a gunny sack, containing a set of
harness that had been shipped to him
from Hood River. He paid the freight
charges and was then told that the ware
house charges were 50 cents or a hundred
percent more than the freight' charges!
Walthers intends to start a warehouse
himself juet aa soon as he can raise-the
boodle. He thinks there's money in it.

Congregational Art Social.
The sociable given by the Ladies Aid
society of the Congregational church, at
the house of Mrs. Geo. P.. Morgan last
evening, was a decided success. Besides
being a very enjoyable affair socially, it
was a thing of much interest in the fact
of being the most complete collection of
the work of the artists and amateurs of
The Dalles which has ever been gathered.
There is much that is very creditable to
the talent and industry of our art-workers.
The last three , years have
shown a marked improvement in the
work of our amateurs. They paint with
a freer brush and a finer appreciation of
nature's subtle moods." ' -
Perhaps there is nothing which is
more indicative;, of advance than the
presence in' a number ' of the pictures
and sketches of, an atmosphere and a
.delicate handling of lights and shadows
not before observable. There is not
such an opaque and painty effect as was
shown in former pictures. " Everywhere
may be observed a better appreciation of
what among artists is termed values
the.distribution of the light and shade
so as to correspond to the relative planes
of the picture, Evidently in this respect
there has been some good instruction
with power to inspire enthusiasm.
We observe a marked increase in the
number of original sketches which is an
indication of real progress. We cannot
here undertake to discriminate .to the
praise or dispraise of . certain teachers
amongst us, any more than we can allow
ourselves to select for special praise the
pictures and sketches of certain individ
uals whose progress and attainment has
been a wonder and an admiration to us.J
Good prominence was given to the
work of Ben Foster, a New York artist
of very considerable power and talent,
by giving his pictures and sketches a
room by themselves. A number of Mr.
Foster's pictures were burned in the
fire which consumed Mr. Curtis' study.
making the' exhibit considerably, less
than it would otherwise have been. ' ;.
The specimens of china exhibited by
our own art workers in that direction
was a complete surprise, and were the
admiration of all. .The . dainty speci
mens of needle work exhibited by Mrs.
Gibons called forth a good deal of ad
miration and praise. Much credit is ac
corded to Mrs. Lochhead and Mrs. Bar
rett for . the assistance they rendered
Mrs. Morgan in the tasteful and artistic
arrangement of the various articles.
There were about fifty persons present
at the sociable last evening.. It is pre
same l that a number were kept away by
the wind and rain which ' prevailed in
the early; part of the evening. ?-By-a
general request the pictures and other.
articles will remain in place, thusafford-
ing opportunity to those who may wish
to see them this (Saturday) evening. ,

A Tamed Tion
At the Zoo a young lioh from Sokoto
was much intent on breaking in the iron
shutter which separates the house it
now occupies from' its former quarters
next door. - Apart from the very proper
wish to assert a right to its former dom
icile, it had the irritating stimulus sup
plied by an ill tempered and decrepit
old leopard which was growling on the
other side of the shutter, and even went
so far as to insert one of its longest teeth
into the crack between the shutter and
the wall as a reminder to the lion' of
what was waiting for it on the other
side.'
The lion was striking constant heavy
blows on the door, and was so intent on
its occupation as to disregard the call of
its keeper. The keeper quietly attracted
its attention by pulling its tail I and the
lion at once desisted, rubbed its face
against the keeper's hand and lay down
to' be stroked, patted and have its mane
caressed. A very beautiful puma close
by exhibited all the pleasure of a friend
ly cat ' at being stroked, and the tiger
from Turkestan allowed himself to be
fondled like a big dog. London Specta
