In the Oregonian's amusement column

Edna and Eva Taylor, two bright, hand
some little girl?, who made such a hit
in "Fatinitza," again scored a success
last night with their dancing, being re
called, for which they gave the cocoanut
dance, with calcium-light effects. ' ;
' Jim Crate eluded the vigilance of the
marshal yesterday and escaped. While
Crate bad the liberty of the back yard
for a few moments, and Blakeney was
talking to a lady in the office, Jim
cleared the fence and was not discovered
by the other Jim until two blocks away.
Jim chased Jim, but he got away. It is
believed he is still in hiding in the city,
and when the officers catch him next
time he will probably wear an iron or
nament.
Mrs. E. W. Allen of Portland, who
will lecture this evening at the Congre-f

more fully on the mind, the lecture wili
be illustrated by stereopticon views
said to be the finest instrument in tLi
state and bandied by one of the mos
skillful operators. -

was 7,000. Long before 2 p. m., the
hour set for opening the polls, doz
ens of carriages,, placarded with the
names of the candidates, were bringing
people in to. vote. Challengers for both
sides were at every polling place and
many quarrels occurred though no ser
ious trouble took place.
. RESULT IN PENDLETON.

HiS flomifille fce calls" Rock Castle. It
is hewn out of the conglomerate rock
which juts out from the hillside about a
hundred feet from the base of the moun
tain. The doorway is just sufficient to
admit an ordinary sized man. Enter
ing it yesterday a reporter found the old
man at his usual occupation, reading.
(Before he entered upon his present life
he was a great patron of the free reading
room above Pease & Maj' store.)
There is room comfortably for four or
five persons within. He was sitting by
a fire, within an ingeniously contrived
1 fire place made of an old piece of stove
fitted in the side of the rock wall, a
chimney leading up through the side of
the cliff and out to the air. A single
bunk extends along the rear wall, which
comprises the greatest width of his
dwelling. There are a few cooking
utensils, but these serve only for him to
live in the most primitive way. Out
side is a woodshed, the roof of which is
an overhanging cliff. The most unique
feature of bis dwelling is a needle-shaped
rock about twenty feet high, rising from
nearly over his abode, which inspired
the name Rock Castle.. It sets off the
cave very neatly. Though forgotten by
the world in this out of the way place,
he does not the world forget. He has a
splendid birds-eye view of the city, the
winding river and the diatanttnountaine
towards three points of ' the compass.
What thougbtsevolve in his mind as he
gazes upon the smoking chimneys of the
city, the bustle and activity of a world
of which he once constituted a part, is
beyond conjecture. His needs are few
and they do not trouble him. He comes
to the city every two or three days to re
plenish his larder and gets water from a
spring he has discovered near by. .
. It is jnst possible the old man does
get enough to eat. It was remarked by
a visitor yesterday he does not look -as
well as formerly. Perhaps it might bo
well for some of his former friends to in
vestigate. Though a hermit, be does
not possess that austerity commonly,
supposed to exist with that species of
misanthropists. His greatest need he
expresses to be reading matter.
Woodruff has spent the winter in his
present dwelling. It Is warm in winter
and cool in summer. He is satisfied
with it, and seems to be enjoying his
declining years in this unusual manner.
Mr. Darwin Bradley and Mrs. Minnie
w. . ........
Angel were married at 8 o clock last
feevening at the Columbia hotel
mere is something or a romance con
nected with this event which is worthy
of presentation by The Chronicle. Mr.
Bradley has been a travelling photogra
pher, a man of family, but of habitually
(limited circumstances. His wife died at
khe residence of Oscar Angel in Novem
ber last, after a very Bhort illness, and
was buried November loth. The Brad-
leys for several months previous had
been invited by Mr. Angel to make his
biouse their home, sympatby for them
an their straitened circumstances induc
ing him to make the offer. When Brad
ley's wife died, leaving three children
motherless, he was unable to meet the
funeral expenses, and the county footed
the bill for the coffin.
In a short time domestic infelicity was
apparent between Mr. and Mrs. Angel,
resulting in a divorce suit and the de
parture of Mrs. Angel about January 1st
to relatives in the Willamette valley.
The divorce was granted Mr. Angel on
January 15th last, together with the cus
tody of four children, ranging in age
fcom 9 to 14 years.
The next 6tep in the Bradley-Angel
history was the marriage last evening of
Darwin Bradley 'and Mrs. Minnie Angel
at the Columbia hotel. The woman who
chose against husband and children to
marry her guest and care for his chil
dren arrived in the city the day or the
day before the ceremony. The divorced
husband beard of it and insisted upon
being present at the ceremony, and aa a
matter of fact was the 'first to congratu
late the newly-wedded pair.
It has not been two months since the
Angel divorce was granted, nor four
months since Bradley's wife died,
therefore the wedding appears a little
hasty under the circumstances. An
Oregon statute forbids the marriage of a
divorced person within six months time
from the granting of the decree. But
there are devious wavs to evade the law,
Land when two hearts beat as fondly as
those ol the impecunious Bradley ana
the rash Mrs. Angel, love laughs at lock
smiths as of yore. -
