The dining car capne through on this

said to be a beanliful one; but not being
invited to partake of its contents, we
cannot sav as to the puddin' contained
therein.
A special train, consistingof five cars,
passed through the cityflying last night
about 10 o'clock. 0n board was the
Bostonian opera company, and 'tis said
they made thetrip from Portland to
Umatilla in six hours.
The tranBCiipt of the condemnation
proceeding in the case of U. S. vs. Seu
fert, composed of seventy-eight pages, is
now at the clerk s office in this city to
be recorded. This is the case in which
$9000 was allowed by the government
for the Seufert property over which the
boat railway is proposed to be built.
Last evening about 7 o'clock, at his
home on the corner of Tenth and Union
streets, Justice of the Peace Bayard per-
formed the ceremony which united In
marriage George . Mann and Nettie
May Cook. The groom is a young
farmer who now has a place near the
English farm, eight miles from the city;
while the bride is the second daughter
o! O. W. Cook, of 3-Mile.
California strawberries are making
their appearance in our markets; but as
yet few Oregon berries are" seen. Last
Tuesday Mrs. Coventon picked a few
irom ner vines ana Friday there were
some brought in from Senfert's place.
Farmers along Mill creek report their
crop almost ruined by the late frosts
Sandoz says he has lost about $500 from

There'll be an exciting time at the old
fairground on the afternoon of May 30th
if the employes of A. M. Williams &
Co.'s store accept the challenge of the
hoys at Mays & Crowe's. "When hard
ware challenges dry goods, something
mu6t "drap." The young ladies are al
ready anxious to determine what their
colors will be. "After the hall" thev'll
probably be black and blue. Another
question is, which are the favorites?
Capt. W. S. Hart, who has charge of
the rivers and harbors of the Pacific
coast, spent yesterday in The Dalles
He was here for the purpose of looking
over the proposed railway above The
Danes, vvnne tne snip railway was
knocked out by congress at ita recent
session, those who ought to know seem
to think that if the people were to peti
tion congress regarding the boat rail
way, that they would prevail. Would
it not be a good plan to see what can be
done?
The tenth annual junior exhibition of
the University of Oregon tookplace in
Eugene Friday evening. Afuong the
names of the orators wece those of
Homer D. Angell and MissDaieie Alia
way, of The Dalles. The former took as
his subject "The Prospctive Relations
Between the United States and the Far
EaRt," and the latter"Oregon Scenery
in Poetry." The eUadents who are at
tending the university
are such as are accredit
we are proud of their attainments.
Sheepshearing is now starting np in
Klickitat, says Mr. Alex. Hamilton, the
sheep inspector, who has just returned
irom an omciai trip, ine ebeep are in
a very good condition in the main and
but very little scab prevails. The two
principal points for shearing this season
will be in the vicinity of Pleasant
and Blockhouse. Probably the greater
number will be sheared at the former
station. The wool from both places will
be hauled to The Dalles. The market is
not booming and wool sales will be slow

Travel to the seaside this season will
not only be expeditious, but unprece-
dentedly comfortable. The convenience
of railroad travel is already a matter of
one season's experience; and to this fa.
cility is this yeat to be added the O. R
& N.'s roomy and luxuriously appointed
steamer Hassalo, whose unofficial trial
trip yesterday developed phenomenal
speed. All such encouragements as
these to the rest and relaxation of sum
mer outings are means of grace to a
too-busy generation. The average Amer
ican needs nothing more than to take a
day off and renew both mind and body.
Oregonlan.
George H. Himec, who is so well
known over Oregon as one of the early
pioneer printers, and who is so thor
oughly conversant with everything con
nected with the early history of our
state, is in the city today. He is as
sistant secretary of the Oregon Histori
cal Society, and comes here in its in
terest. On June 15th the association
will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary
of the United States extending territor
ial jurisdiction over Oregon and the
fortieth anniversary of the admission of
Oregon as a state. All persons who
came to, or were born in the original
territory of Oregon prior to February 14,
1859, are eligible to membership in the
association.
PERSONAL MENTION,
Arthur, youngest eon6f Capt. and
Mrs. Waud, celebrated bis tenth birth
day at his home on Fourth and Liberty
streets Saturday aftecnoon by giving a
Dewey party to some of his boy friends.
Part of the time was Bpent in games and
music, until Mr Kinersly arrived and
took their pictures, after whih they
were seated ax the table, where an ele
gant lunch was prepared,, vthich only
Dewey boys can enjoy. The table was
decorated with cut flowers and flags.
The young Dewey s were waited upon by
Miss Bertha Ueer, of Portland, and Fred
and Hazel Waud. Those invited were
Mrs. Myers, his Sunday School teacher,
Guy Douthit, Raymond Neil, Raymond
and Ernest Halfpapp, Pearly Haslem,
Lindon Garrison Clinton Bradshaw,
Roger and Ted Seufert, Guy Jones,
Henry and Adolph Buchler, Harry
Walther, Johnny Stevens, Frederick
Broneon, James Kinersly, Lawrence Mc
Arthur and Earl Swain.
For some time past the Taine class
has been taking np a course of papers
relative to the early history of Oregon,
which have proven at once interesting
and instructive. The subjects so far
treated have been : "Prehistoric Dis
coveries," "Discovery of the Columbia,"
Expeditions of Lewis and Clark,"
"Settlement of Astoria," "Early Explo
rations Premissionary ."Methodist Mis
sions Under Jaeon Lee and Reinforce
ments," Whitman and Spaulding and
Successors," "Provisional Government,'
Printing and Newspapers," "Emigra
tions," "Historical Reminiscences,'
The Ashbnrton Treaty," Others which
are yet to be taken np will be : "Physical
Characteristics of Oregon Reference to
Climate, Agriculture, Mines, Forests,
Commerce and Trade," "The Jetty at
the Mouth of the Columbia Construc
tion, etc," "Louisiana Purchase," "Set
tlement of French Prairie." It is
the intention to give at least two
public lectureB in the near future, to
which the class will invite all interested
as we all are. The first will probably
be by Prof. Lyman, of Whitman College,
who is a very interesting speaker. He
will lectnre on May 19th, taking as his
subject "Benjamin Franklin, the Typical
American Statesman." Another lecture,
which cannot fail to interest, will be one
by George H. Himes on "The History of
the Literature of Oregon." He will no
doubt be here on May 22d.

The blue rose, which, with the black,
has so long been the subject of horti
cultural research, has made- its appear
ance in Bulgaria, a district renowned
for its attar of roses. The owner of the
blue rose is M. Stantcheff, who when
visiting his collections one day noticed
on a bush that had hitherto pro
duced blooms of a pale rose color live
greenish-blue roses of a hue recalling
the delicate tints of the turquoise.
Samples of the soil wherein this rare
plant has grown have been sent to the
chemical laboratory of Sofia to be mi
nutely analyzed. It is known to be
rich in lime, ammonia, salts of copper
and oxide of iron.

Aajnlnaldo's Surrender Slay Delay the
Volunteers.
from The Dalles
to any town and
The report that Aguinaldo has de
cided to surrender does not brighten the
prospects of the volunteers early home
coming. In fact the chances were better
for their coming soon had the war con
tinned. In that event, regulars would
be hurried to the Philippines as rap
idly as possible, and the volunteers re
lieved as fast as they conld be spared.
Since Aguinaldo has announced that
he will give up the fight it will not be
necessary, however, to keep a large
army there until the terras of surrender I
are completed, and the country is under
good control.
The volunteers being there, they will
be kept for this purpoee, very likely, un
til regulars can be eent to take their
places, without rushing matters through,
It would never do to weaken the army
now in the Philippines, for as soon as
that was done, the wily Aguinaldo would
decide to begin hostilities again. Even
the sending ho oie of the volunteers at
this junction -would have a bad effect
upon peace negotiations, even though
regulars were in hand to take their
places.
No doubt the boys will be sent home
before very long, but the cessation of
hostilities has bad more of a tendency to
put the time off than to hasten it.
There is one consolation, however,
the boys can go into camp, and will not
be exposed to the damp, disease-breeding
battle-fields during the bad season.
