Jn a recent iseue of the East Orego
nian appeared an item in which-two
ladies, Mrs. H. C. iLewis and Miss Ray
Robbins, asserted that they had been
robbed of $168, the proceeds of a lectnse
they alleged they gave in. Baker City.
The ladies stated to the East Oregonian
as -'follows : "Their misfortune was
caused by some alleged thief who -robbed
them of $163 cash, which the ladies had
as door receipts for a lecture they gave
in -Baker City. They came from the
opera house in the .evening with the
money in a sack, when some, one in the
darkness snatched the sack, leaving
them almost without funds. They came
on to Pendleton, where they expected to
.-give an entertainment similar to that
:given in Baker City, but here received
word that caused them to go on to Port
iland on the Friday' evening train. Ef
forts to apprehend the thief whom the
women allege stole their money at Baker
City, were unavailing." v . '
In answer to the statement of the
ladies, the Baker City Democrat replies :
"The women referred to were in Baker
City last week.' Mrs. Lewis gave a lec
ture at the opera house and her subject
was: 'A Theory in Tatters.' - Her au
dience was a slim one and the receipts
were more likely $1.63 than $168 08. So
small, indeed, that 'Mrs. Lewis very
probably borrowed the funds necessary
to pay her expenses. How she could
have been robbed and no one here being
advised of it, is strange." ;'
' An .Englishman's View.
A well-known Englishman writes to a
friend in this country: ."Your entire
financial difficulty is in this : . Tou can
not maintain a sufficient balance of ex
ports over imports to . pay the three
hundred million dollars which yon re
quire to meet : first, the interest on your
foreign loans ; second, the enormous ex
pend itnre of your ton riats and residents
in Europe;- third the freights you pay to
British s'kips. This isn difficulty not at
all confined to your community ; it is to
day the case of all d-ebtor communities."
