In this city, Saturday, March 13th,
Eleanor, widow of Charles Adams, aeed
76 years and 7 months, she having
been born in Pinkton, Ohio, Aug. 21,
1820.
The. funeral took place at 10 o'clock
today from the family residence, Rev.
J. H. Wood delivering the sermon. In
terment in Sunset cemetery.
Mrs. Adams was one of the pioneers,
arriving in Oregon in 1850 with her hus
band, and settling first at Oregon City,
then moving to Albany, a'nd coming to
The Dalles about the year 1880. She
was a woman of tireless energy, large
hearted and charitable, of a gentle and
lovable character that won all with
whom she came in contact. She leaves
six children Mrs. D. M. French, Mrs.
B. F. Laughlin and Miss Irene Adams,
all of The Dalles ; Mrs. V. L. Hiukle of
Antelope, Amos Carter of Milton, and
W. R. Carter of Newberg.
Her death was not unexpected, her
age and physical condition making it
impossible for her to recover from the
severe attack of pneumonia which was
the cause of her death. Surrounded by
her children, all of whom were present,
she passed over to the beyond, leaving
behind her the example of a pure,
wouianlv and Christiau life, filled with
good deeds and abounding in charity.

THOSE ARABESQUE PATTERNS.
Hallucinating Dress Goods, Calico With
the Jlm-Jams.
Our dry goods stores are displaying a
new dress goods known as arabesque.
The figures remind one of Jacob's cattle,
being ring-streaked and striped. It is
calico with the jim-jams, the figures
writhing and intermingling like the con
glomerate serpente of the third stage of
delirium tremens. We want to warn
our young gentlemen, as the warm sum
mer days approach, that he baa a case
of swearing olf on hand. He has either
to forego the foaming beer, the cooling
juleps, the lemonade with a stick in it,
aud all that sort of thing, or cut loose
entirely from the summer girl, with her
arabesque waists and serpentine trim
mings. The modern young man's brain
let will never survive the shock of the
combination. It takes .good nerves to
stand either, and the arabesque pattern
of inebriety is the more trying of the
two.
A waist ot that material, with a fair
female pulsating within it, reminds one
of tno circus and its concomitant side
show, the fat woman, who toys with an
armful of snakes and wears a genuine
boa around her neck. That's the way
they strike us now, at a remote distance,
bo to speak. What the effect will bo
when they get plentiful and all the
pretty girls are wearing them, of course
we are unable to say, but we suppose one
may get accustomed to them.
Other towns may have trouble in as
similating that sort of thing, but a
Dalles girl is irresistable in any guise,
aud would be will be attractiye even
though, like the Furies, she wore snakes
for a head gear.
It is to be hoped that the new
arabesque waists may be fashionable
during lent, as the sight of them daily
will take the place of almost all other
required penance.
If some pretty girl, with a good deal
of spare time will call around at this
office occasionally and get us used to the
combination by degrees, she will confer
a favor that will be appreciated by ua,
more than by tbe balance of the family.
The Full of Davia.
This is the way the Corvallis Gazette
sums up the house of Davis :
Alas, poor Davis 1 His house cannot
adjourn. Without a quorum it can but
adjourn from day to day, and a quorum
will never come.
Some members adopted a resolution
to dissolve, but what of that? There
was no quorum and the adoption of the
resolution was illegal. The Davis house
cannot adjourn.
Davis has gone home, haunted with
the consciousness that his house has not
adjourned, In his waking hours, voices
whisper, "No quorum, no quorum," and
in bis dreams there runs the refrain,
"Bayer, Berkley, Bourne, Bridges,
Bilyeu." and bo on down the list of
those who would and those who would
not. He awakens from uneasy slumbers
to hear tbe night shriek, " you can't ad
journ, adjourn, adjourn."
Other bouses may come and may go,
but the Davis house goes on foreyer. It
may resolve to dissolve, it may scatter
to the uttermost parts of the earth, it
may hide its hapless head from tho gaze
of man, but still the mighty truth rings
on, "The Davis house cannot adjourn."
There is no escape for Davis. Though
he fly to Cuba and follow the fortunes
of her struggling patriots, the gurgling
wounds of every Spaniard .slain will
moan, "You can't adjourn." Though
swift to far-off Crete he flies and helps
its noblo cause, yet every Turk will
curse at him aud cry, "you never can
adjourn."
The song will haunt him to his last
sad hour and on the slab erected where
he sleeps, this tribute will appear:
Hero llctli one whom Heaven nor Hell can hold,
For mighty Truth proclaims liiin still on Kurth.
Yen, when this clrclliiR sphere itself grows cold,
To know naught rnoreof human woe or mirth.
His spirit still is doomed to linger on,
The last und only evidence of man.
Ask you the sin of this most wretched pawn?
His house has not adjourned nor ever can.
