Random Observations and Local Events of Lesser Magnitude. for the other to inaugurate the custom About a hundred laides removed their hats last evening, thus setting an exam pie or a fashion which will become un versal. It will soon be the part of good taste to take the bats off, rather than to keep , them on. Custom is responsible for law, and a large hat will hereafter attract distasteful attention. The funeral of the 8-vear-old son ol Daniel Daffron took place at 2 :30 o'clocl this afternoon from the CathoMc church, The Woodmen will give an entertai ment at Fraternity hall Friday evening next.

Powell will give a valuable lecture this evening at the Christian church entitled, ,:The Value of a Laugh." The admission fee is 15 cents and it is very likely that sum will be earned many times over, placing each laugh at 15 cents. Sheriff Driver returned today noon with Wm. Landes and Ida Walters. The pair are charged with adultery by the former husband. They are at pres ent at the county jail and will have a preliminary examination before Justice Davis at 10 a. m. tomorrow. The fruit crop of the Dry Hollow sec tion is said to be injured by the recent cold weather. A loss of part of a crop is frequently a blessing in disguise. In thia country the trees are inclined to overbear, and even if - the entire crop was killed the renewed growth of the trees would compensate for the damage to the frmt. - The Chinook work "alki',' is pro nounced alkey, and not al-ki, as it is spelled. The word is never used by the Indians to signify anything except some time in the future. It means after awhile, or by-and-by. Tenas alki means in a little while, and bias alki signifies a long time in future. The seal of the ter ritory of Washington contained the word "alki,'.' signifying that after awhile the territory would merge into statehood, and the designers of the state seal very properly omitted it, for the prophecy which it had signified had finally been fulfilled. ' The suggestion in The Chronicle and the request of the Rathbone Sisters con cerning the removal of ladies hats', we were pleased to see so generally ac quiesced to by the ladies last) evening. The native good eens9 which our ladies possess must assure them that it is a fitting respect for the rights of others to remove their bats when assembling in large numbers at a theater with a level floor. We believe that it is only regard for the conventionalities that -they have not done eo before, each waiting ANOTHER PROMISE. Senator Mitchell Says Ample Provision for Lock Walls Will Be Made. On Monday The Chronicle Publishing Company wired to Senator Mitchell re-; garding the $20,000 appropriation," claimed to be due to Messrs. Day by' Capt. Fisk. In view of the conversation held by Messrs." Mac Allister, Judge Bradsbaw and Capt Gray with CaptAlect another Fisk, a very unsatisfactory state of mind resulted in the minds of the people in regard to these appropriations. An answer was received this morning. Fol lowing is the text of both dispatches : Son. J. H. Mitchell, Washington, D. C. Captain Fisk claims $20,000 appropria tion unavailable for building walls in inner lock at Cascades. Does river and harbor bill contain other appropriation for building temporary or permanent walls. Wire answer. The Chronicle. Here is the reply : The Chronicle, The Dalles Oregon : Ample provision will be made either in sundry civil or river and harbor bill to build walls in inner lock. ' John H. Mitchell. An Able Lecturer Soon to Appear. Judge ltennett Accepts the Nomination he published report in the Oregonian and the Northwest press that Judge A 8. Bennett bad declined the Democratic nomination for congress was premature. A reporter of THe Cheonicle saw Mr. Bennett today in regard to it. ' He replied: 'There was a foundation for such a report, caused by tny unwillingness to accept the nomination at the time the convention was in session. I hastened to make known my desire not to accept the candidacy, but the convention had adjourned before I could do so. I have been debating with myself whether or not to decline, and - have reached the conclusion this morning that I will not, since it is practically too late to ea x uJJo you propose to take tne" during the coming campaign?" Tuesday, the 21st, our city is to be favored with an address by Mrs. Nar cissa White Kinney. Mrs. Kinney is not an. entire stranger to our people. having spoken here most acceptably when ehe was simply Narcisea White. She is state president of the W. 0. T.

All report her as exception, ally eloquent, persuasive,, witty, pa thetic. One says, "The mantle of John B. Gough has fallen upon . her shoul ders." Come out and bear onr Gongh on Tuesday evening. Condnctors Bart. Two railroad conductors, says the Oregonian, old friends and brother Elks, had the misfortune to each suffer a frac ture of a leg a few days since over in Washington. J. W. McNamara, one of them met with his mishap in stepping from a train at Troy, and was taken to Kalispel. The other unfortunate is Lon Curtis, brother of Anson Curtis, of .The Dalles, also well known, who met with hia misfortune one day before Mc Namara. He was badly injured, but, at last accounts, was doing well. He is a member of the lodge of Elks at Seattle, a Knight Templar and Royal Shriner. Both men have a host of friends all over the coast, who will regret, their mis fortunes. ' Subscribe for The Chbonicle and get the news. "Most certainly."

"That is" of lesser importance, in my opinion. You will observe, however, that the Portland Democratic platform allows plenty of scope for a reasonable tariff on raw material, including wool, as well as that on the manufact ured product."

One of the Most Snccessfal Ever Under taken by Home Dramatists. - While it may be true that Tb Dalles has had'stronger dramatic productions than "The Confederate Spy," it is an indisputable fact that no company ever appearing here had as strong support throughout the whole cast as those who played last night to a crowded bouse at the Baldwin. " Never before has the writer witnessed such perfection in de tail in the histrionic line as upon the presentation of the war play "The Con federate Spy." Each filled his appro priate niche to'a nicety, displaying rare good judgment in not exaggerating its importance, but improving to the fall the demand. This may be due in part to the excellent drilling of Prof. Ras mus, but again without the material his efforts would have been in vain, and the material we are proud of. We have lis tened to them oft before, have cried and laughed with them, we have applauded them when they pleased us, and that has been many, many times. It is no exaggeration to say that the play last night was as good as two-thirds of the dramatic productions that visit The Dalles. i Of the acting of Mr. Harry Lonsdale, who took the title role, nothing new can be affirmed. As always, he invested the character with great dignity and power and his representation was bo perfect as to lose hia own identity. A new sensa tion must have been experienced in the minds of men who were purely in a Northern environment, who believe the word "rebel" stands for a spirit of ma lignity, and -they mnst have admitted there was as high a regard for the prin ciples of honor, integrity and manhood south of Mason and Dixon's line daring war times as north of it. - v Mr. N. J. Sinnott as "George Water man," was a character well sustained. Without affectation 'or stiltedness Mr. Sinnott took the part of the lover with consummate tact and grace. His rare dramatic abilities found ample expres sion in the third act in the rather Btormy interview with the spy. "Major-Gen. Banks," by Mr. D. C. Continued on fourth page.
