Tonight at the Vogt.
Smith Bros, call attention to their
toiree tomorrow night at the Baldwin.
The "wearing of the green" was very
prominent in our city today. Thia was
the only manner in which the 17th of
Ireland was observed here.
It ia gratifying to Bgain eee James
Blakeney on onr Btreeta after his lone
eiege at the hospital in Portland. He
is, however, still walking with crutches
and will be compelled to spend abont a
month more in Portland before lie will
be from under the doctor's care. He
will return Monday.
G. Li. Hutchin, formerly a resident of
Bloomington, 111., but now of Portland,
is in The Dalles today. It ia Mr.
Hutchin'a intention to, in the near
future, start a daily paper in Portland,
having Democratic proclivities. Should
the project be carried into effect, we wish
for it a much longer life than ita
predeceBaora. There should be ample
room in Portland for two large dailies.
The most enjoyable dance ever given
by the Rath bone Sisters was that which
took place at the K. of P. hall last night.
About fifty couples were on the floor,
and to make dancing comfortable the
email hall had to be opened, anl the

piano moved to a position b etween the
folding doors. Birgfeld'a music was
so inspiring that none could keep from
making the moat of it and joining in the
good time.
Ed Smith, holding the lucky number
which drew the prize at the theater last
night, took up bis bed-room set and
walked. It was a fine one, too. To
morrow night a parlor set will be given
away, and the numbers which have
been given each night will be good for
the drawing on that occasion. The
Smith boys are particularly lucky of
late, James having won the mandolin
raffled Monday night by J. Rees.
Tomorrow afternoon Noble'eiDramatic
Company will give a matinee, begin
ning at 2 o'clock, when-5 "Kathleen
Mavourneen" will be given. Thia is a
very pleasing play, n4 it , will, be a
splendid .opportunity ibr the ladies and
children to hear tire -Noble company.
This company baa' greatly pleased our
citizens by theirladylike and gentle
manly conduct daring their stay in our
city, proving themselves refined both in
their demeanor on and off the stage. -
Although the audience which at
tended, the Vogt last night to hear
Noble's company in "Train Wreckers"
was not large, it was a veJy appreciative
one, and the play was well given. They
have been requested to appear in "East
Lynne" tonignt, and, aa the play bas
for years been a popular one, no doubt
they will have the best houee of the
week's engagement. The Baker City
Republican speaks very highly of their
production of this famous play, -giving
each actor a share of unstinted praise.
Now ia the time to induce your friends
to come West and view a country worth
living in. The Union Pacific has fallen
in line with other routee and baa cut
ratea to California points, and local
officiate expect to receive notification
every day that reduced ratea will be
made to apply to Portland. The
Southern Pacific will be forced to fall in
line next or else lose considerable busi
ness. The Northern Pacific haa gone
the other roada one better and made
cheap ratea apply ' to all intermediate
points in ita territory. In fact, the
fight is warming up, and some more
lashing of east-bound rates ia expected.
Keeping the sidewalks and streets of
acityin repair is one of those endless
taaka which keeps multiplying aa the
work advances. A small stretch of
walk to which our attention has been
called aa being one which demands im
mediate attention, ia that on Eighth
street, between Court and Union. The
course of true love would certainly
never run smooth if that walk bad to be
passed over between the courting and
the union. It has been sadly in need of
repairs for eoui time, and the .need
should at once be met.
Another instance of the petty little
robberies being carried on by tramps in
our city at preeent wae shown early this
morning when a man, who was arrested
for drunkenness and vagrancy, was
found to be in possession of a pair of
Indian clubs, which he bad been trying
to dispose of. These email thefta are
only forerunners of more serious rob
beries which will be committed in the
city unless these fellows are compelled
to leave. They should not be encouraged
by having their requests lor hand-outs
granted by our citizens.
A few of the gentlemen friends of the
Ladies' Aid Society will make their
debut in the entertainment line next
Wedneeday evening at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Wilson, when the
ladies will take a back seat, where they
will be enabled to take a few pointers in
the art of entertaining. The drawing
card of the evening will be the selections
by the new male quartet club, just
organized. W. H. Wilson made a trip
to Portland yesterday to procure the
latest quartet music, both in classic
rnueic and the most catchy coon songs.
A two-story brick addition ,120x97 feet
in dimension; will not only be a won
derful improvement to the Umatilla
House, but aad much to the appearance
of a block which every visitor to or trav
eler through the city ia bound to see.
Having bought the property adjoining
the hotel, Sinnot & Fish now have work
men tearing down the old shacks which
have etood there for years, and will in
the near future, if not at once, build
such an addition to their hotel, the lower
floor to be used aa a dining room and
the upper partitioned into . rooms. -We
are much pleased to bear of thia project,
and hope nothing will prevent its con
summation. Many will remember well one of Mc
Ewen'a leading hypnotic subjects named
DuBois, who visited the city with the
great hypnotist on his first visit; a very
effeminate looking fellow, who started
out independently from this place aa a
full-fledged hypnotist, and who when
last beard from was humbugging
audiences in every part of the country.
It appeara that he haa about reached
the end of iiis string from the following
notice regarding him: "A hypnotist
named DuBois, and hia company ar
rived at Cle Elum the other night from
Roslyn, closely followed by a wagon load
of indignant young boya who claimed
that they bad been engaged by the
hypnotist to go into trances and do what
ever he aeked oa the etage at Roslyn,
and that be had not paid them as he
agreed. After a stormy scene in the
office of the Reed house, a compromise
was effected, and the boya departed for
home. They say that he has no
hypnotic power whatever."
The Consequence of a Comna.
The importance of so small a matter
as a comma becomes evident by the
perusal of the following:
In his court King Charles was standing on his
head, a golden crown;
And hia royal brow was wrinkled In a most por-
Fifty courtiers entered walking on their hands,
"tic unKUt,
Set in rings of gold and silver: what a rare
and splendid sight.
Four and twenty noble ladies, proud and fair
uu 11 icci OUg,
Were the trains that flowed behind them born
by pages stout and strong.
In a bower of fragrant roses the magicians now
complete,'
Blowing trumpets with their noses, they inhale
the fragrance sweet.
See the queen, how sad and tearful as the king
cuts off her head.
One bright tress of hair at parting and she
wiauca a lit: were aeuu.

ST: PATRICK.
Who He Was. and What Bis Mission
A Paper oy Mrs. L,. Brooks.
The following paper ivas composed by
Mre. Brooke and red at the St. Pat
rick'a party given ay the Ladies' Aid
Society , at the res'tence of Mrs. J. C.
Hostetler, last Wednesday afternoon :
The 17th of March has by common
consent been consecrated to the memory
of him who is ealjed the Apostle of
Ireland. History is very indefinite as
to its account of him, France, Scotland
and Wales being given as the place of
hia birth. In his confession he himself
says he waa born at Bonavem, Tabernia.
The . last name, meaning camps, was
given by the Romans to the district
south of the Clyde, and also to one near
the river Usk in Wales. Either of the
two :s better authenticated than that of
Boulogne, France.
In some of the incursions of the Picts
or Scots, common at the time, aa the
Roman power waa declining to hold
these people in abeyance, when about
sixteen years of age he was taken captive
and sold to a petty chief of Ireland,
where he remained for about six years,
then making his eecape back to his
home in Britain.
During his stay in the island he seems
to have "become interested in its people
so aa to 'decide to devote hia life to their
service, though aa he save himself, it
waa In opposition to the wishes of bis
lriends; but be claimed to have heard
their call, "Come over and help us."
Hia Hume ia eaid to have been Sociat,
Patrick being from the Roman indicat
ing patrician. Hia father's name was Cal
purniusr and evidently a Roman officer
of some authority, also a convert to the
Christian iaith as he is called a deacon.
While history, when separated from the
mythical and supernatural, gives ns so
little of detail, the fact that hia name
baa come down through the ages from
about the fifth century, kept evergreen
in the memory of the warm-hearted
people whom he went to serve, proves
him to have been a man of more than
ordinary ability. Dealing cautiouely
and gently with old pagan superstitions,
even preserving some of the Druidical
altars and transforming many of their
ritea. and customs to the Christian faith
he waa endeavoring to inculcate.
Hie "Confession" reveals him a
devout, simple-minded, unlettered man,
and a discreet, energetic missionary.
Such men belong to no especial age,
race, or clime, but are the heritage of
the world, and we, on the shores of the
Pacific, can unite with the people of the
Emerald Isle, washed by the Atlantic's
surges, in commemorating the memory
of St. Patrick, whether the 17th of Marcn
be the day of hia birth or bia death.
The life spent in service is what we
would honor.

Thy poets still are singing."
