Notes.
London, April 4. The Paris corre
spondent of the Daily News says : ' "Tee
Prince of Wales has arrived in Paris.
While the princa's . train was at the
Marseilles station the prince lingered
too lou at the buffet. The train started
and the prince just succeeded in clutch
ing the rail of the saloon carriage. As
the prince appeared to be in danger the
station-master signaled to the driver
. and the train was stopped. The Daily
Chronicle's Paris correspondent says
only the vigilance of the engineer of the
train prevented a probably fatal accident
. to the Prince of Wales."

Railroad New!.
The Grant Gazette has the followin g
Panl Mohr and several other railroad
magnates were in Grant Saturday.
They crossed over to Columbus and
looked along the incompleted portage
railway line. Mr. Mohr' assures the
people that the portage is no longer an
uncertainty, but will be completed and
in operation within a very short time
A. W. Mohr took the Sunday morning
train for Portland, but the other
gentlemen went, with a team down to
Celilo. They assert that work will
be commenced in a few days.
A. W. Mohr came np from Portland and
registered at the Caledonian Saturday
morning. Mr. Mohr in speaking of tbe
portage, in which heis largely interested,
said that (400,000 had already been ex
pended in its construction. To complete
the road bed and lay the steel wonld
cost $250,000 more. He further said that
the work would, without doubt be fin
ished this season. This hews will create
lively interest among the people on the
other side of the river who have hoped
against hope that the portage road
would be built.
JAPANESE TYPES.
Two
Distinct Classes of Physiognomy
Anions Japan's Inhabitants. v
There are two totally distinct types
in Japan, which may almost be said to
be each other s opposites. u.he iirst,
which the Japanese themselves call the
Chinese or Corean, is the more com
mon. Those belonging- to it, says Har
per's Weekly, have round faces, flat
noses, full cheeks, rather thick lips
very pretty ones often md very good
white teeth. Those belonging- to the
second, or true Japanese type, have
long and comparatively pale faces,
noses arched like the beak of a bird,
thin lips, large eyes, with, not ve.-y
strongly marked eyebrows, and teeth
mostly good, always very white, but
often long and irregular. J his is the
aristocratic type,' which, when at its
best, is really worthy ol aomirauon.
To be called handsome a Japanese
must belong to it, while those of the
Chinese cast of countenance are never
more than pretty. - '..'..
Strange to say, the moral character
of the sections of the community differs
as much as does their appearance.'
have noticed that, as a general rule,
those with Chinese faces are gay,
laughing and restless, full of careless
good humor, while the others are silent,
indifferent, melancholy, sometimes
eves ": '.mi J.

Immorality at a Premium.
It would seem from the decision ren
dered in the case of Mart New for rape
on the person of Miss Jones, at Tygh
valley, that there is no law by which
the perpetrators of such immoral deeds
may be brought to justice, simply be
cause it appears that the girl is a little
over 14 years of age.
Here is a' deplorable case of a young
girl being robbed of all future virtue and
good name, for wherever she may go the
ill deed will follow ber.
The law is unquestionably too weak
and frail to deal justly with such cases.
It is a known fact that tbe weakness of
girls to resist the company of these im
moral wretches is greatest between the
ages of fourteen and sixteen years ; hence,
the great need of a severe law that will
protect our daughters from becoming
the victims of the Lotharios, only to
appease their lustful desires. This poor,
unfortunate child is to be pitied ; while
as for the parties who have caused her
moral -wreck (for there appears to be
two) they should be invited to leave tbe
country immediately under penalty of a
coat of tar and feathers, and the warp
and woof of his coat well tested by a
severe horse whipping.

The Queen's Annual Bath.
unce a year the queen of Madagascar
bathes in public in the presence of
as many of her subjects as can crowd
into the palace courtyard. In former
years she was wont to descend the
marble steps innocent of raiment, but
since the advent of wmtes she wears a
loose robe and disappears behind a
screen. Here the ablutions are per
formed amid much splashing. The
screen was introduced to satisfy the
missionaries. When the queen emerges
from behind the screen her complexion
is at least three shades lighter than
before. Then all the loyal subjects
shout, and, taking it for granted that
the queen has bathed, they disperse to
their homes and do likewise. After
the annual bath they all feel uncom
fortable, but a few days suffice to
make them feel and look natural
again, and all goes welL . j ' ...

COUNTY CONVENTION.
Continued from Third page.
the state of wheat, the state of cattle,
the state of fruit, and.the state of straw
berries and cream, this convention was
to play an important part, and it was
the intention this year to bring out the
very best that could be brought. Two
years ago every laboring man, was
receiving his hire, everyone .was
employed at a good remuneration. The
people were honest in voting for a
change, but' it has been demonstrated
they were mistaken. But prosperity
can be restored, and this means the elec
tion of Harrison, Reed or McKinley
The democrats will then take us by the
band and thank us.
Mr. John Micbell was then called,
who replied in an extempore speech of
considerable length and marked ability
He exhibited a clear comprehension of
the political events of the last year and
their results as affecting tho people.
Sincerity was stamped in every sentence,
in his inflection, in his earnestness, "and
it was markedly evident that he was
possessed of a consuming desire to res
tore the prosperity of a little more than
a year ago when the democratic party
assumed the reins of government. He
dwelt upon the national significance of
this convention and not merely the elec
tion of the several county officers. In
November, 1892, by some chance the
citizens elevated the democratic party to
power. From Maine to California they
promised greater prosperity. It was not
three months before tbe wheels of fac
tories stopped, and the operative depen
dent upon bis own labor had not the
means to support his family. Today a
fanatic by the name of Coxey with an
army of starving men are marching to
Washington to redress these great
wrongs. In President Cleveland's mes
sage to the special session of congress he
had said the purchase clause of the silver
act was responsible for the general de
pression. It has been repealed. Is
there any change? Tbe answer comes
from every hamlet, no! The cause lay
deeper. It was tbe abandonment of the
policy of the nation since its birth tbe
policy upheld by George Washington
and the republican party the policy of
protection. The speaker spoke of tbe
effects of the Wiison bill, its advocates,
the policy of the democrats against tbe
north, and fostering the south. If we
have suffered 'already from the ehndow
of free trade, how much more will we
suffer from its substance. -
After concluding, a committee of The
Dallies precincts announced the nomina
tion of L. S. Davia for justice of the
peace and A. A. TJrquhart constable.
Mr. Dufur was called, who declined to
address the convention on the plea that
the delegation were for the most part
tired out. .: His fight was over, and he
wanted now to see the ticket elected.

A WEDDING NOVELTY.
Marriage Certificate Six Feet Lone En
v grosxed and Framed.
An expert engrosser in Philadelphia
tells of a recent society event in which
an example of his work figured as the
chief object of interest. This was a
highly ornate marriage certificate, ex
ecuted chiefly with a bamboo pen on
the finest "Yellow Mill" drawing1 pa
per. The signature of the legally au
thorized Camden official who performed
the ceremony was written with the
same pen. . When framed and hung
above the folding-doors facing the
dining-room of an uptown mansion, it
measured six feet in length and twen
ty inches in width. -
"The young couple were delighted
with my work," said the engrosser,
"and after I had helped to conceal it
with an artistic drapery of white silk,
the wife remarked: 'I shall not un
drape this until all our guests are
seated at the table this evening, and
then,' she added, with scornful em
phasis, I guess they will know
-whether we are married or not.' "
At a regular business meeting of the
Junior Epworth League, the followiag

ident; Edith Randall, 3d vice president;
