Among the neat new stores in ihe city
might be mentioned the bicycWand re

The Dalles delegates who haye been
attending the Epworth League conven
tion at Moro arrived home last evening
They were accompanied by nine dele
gates from North Yakima and Ellens-
burg, who will remain over nntil tomor

leaguers from this city, they went on an
excursion to the Cascades today.
A notice in last night's Oregonian
tells of the death of Chas. W. P. Boss
on Sunday, in Portland. Although
nothing definite has been received in
this city regarding him, and fiom last
accounts the Chas. Boss who was in
jured here a few weeks since was im
proving, it is feared it is he who is dead,
since the age given is the same as bis,
as is also the name.
no wonder parents ana lriends are
overjoyed to feel that the boys are com
iag home, and that the 'anxiety felt as
the casualty list is scanned each day, is
to be at an end, for while death's hand
cannot be stayed even around our own
firesides, there is at least the satisfaction
of caring for them and feeling that they
are with us in the last hours. Yester
day's report adds two more Oregon boys
to the list of honored dead, that of Ralph
O'Dell of company A, and J. J. Choe,
company G.
The Dalles - Commercial Club has
challenged for the Feldenheimer trophy
and the contest will take place at the
Boad Club-alleys next Saturday evening,
at &;30 o'clock. The Dalles team is com
posed of expert bowlers, and will make
a great effort to capture the trophy.
The home team will be handicapped
from the fact that a couple of its regular
team will be unable to bowl, as it is im
possible to leave business Saturday even
ing, ihe contest will in all probability
be close and exciting, and will undoubt
edly draw a large crowd of spectators

For a time this spring the fate of our
roses eeemed to hang in the balance, the
severe winter having nipped them so
that we feared for their lives; but, while
there are not now eo many as in former
years, many gardens are filled with
them, and beautiful ones loo. This
morning we were shown by Carey Jen
kins the king of roses as far as size is
concerned. It grew in the garden at
Mrs. W. S. Meyers' and measures 6)4
inches across and 17. in circumference.
Its front name Is Paul, but its sir name
we do not remember. However, what's
in a name? It would probable smell as
sweet by any other name as its own.
Shortly after noon today Judd Fish
received word that his mother, Mrs.
Catherine Fish, had died at Hillsdale,
near Portland, a ehort time before noon.
Mrs. Fish, who was about 76 years old,
formerly lived in The Dalles, and moved
from here to Lafayette. A short time
ago she was taken to Hillsdale in hope
of benefiting her, for ehe has been very
ill for many months. Several times
have Mr. and Mrs. Fieh been called to
her bedside when it was thought every
moment would be her last; but the end
came eo gradually that they could not
tell when to telegraph for her son. Mr.
and Mrs. Fish will leave on the after
noon train to be preseni at the funeral.
Sunday evening B. Campbell general
freight agent for the O. B. &. N., and a
party of others, accompanied the boys,
among whom was his son, Hamilton, of
this city, as far as Flavel, on their long
journey on the Monmouthshire. When
the steamer docked at Flavel they started
to go ashore. All the party landed safely
excepting Mr. Campbell and his little
son. When they started down the gang
plank it slipped, throwing both over
board. A strong tide was running at the
time, and both would have undoubtedly
been drowned but for the second officer
and steward of the steamer, who jumped
overboard and held them until fishing
boats which were lying cloeu at hand
picked them bp.
We clip today an edito- ial from the
Oregonian in regard to the nnnecesearv
display and strain caused by the gradu
a ting exercises 01 tciiav which we con
sider contains, a number of enutj-'istions j
which are worthy of careful etuJy by a' I
concerned, although the reference lo the
training of young women, mentioned in
the first paragraph, does not seem to
apply to the average American girl
of tcday. Not that we do not eor-
Bider that graduating time should L
one of especial moment and be made an
auspicious occasion ; but is it not true,
as the Oregoi.ian says, that it is becom
ing rather more of a burdensome than a
joyous time, especially to the parents
whose means will not permit of the ex
pensive dreeees, class pins, programs and
what cot that are the adjuncts of the
modern graduating exercises? Many
parents can merely afford by self sacri
fice to let their eons and daughters finish
the public schools, and could cot con-
eider for a moment adding to their bur
den the unnecessary expenses. Should
there not be a rule, in our public schools
at least, governing tbesa minor matters
bo far as the class collectively is con
cerned, let the individual presents, etc.,
given at home be what they may.
It is hardly probable now that there
is a mistake a'lout the boys having
started homeward bound, for dispatches
Btate that they eailed from Manila yea
terday. With anything like smooth
sailing they will arrive in Portland
on July I2th. Everybody in Oregon
wishes them a speedy, safe and pleasant
voyage. They have been in the thickest
of the fray for many months, and never
faltered or whimpered. Their state is
prond of them and tbey will be given a
royal welcome. Dalles people are anx
ious to be among the first to welcome
them, and it wonld be a splendid idea
to charter one of the D. P. & A.' N.
steamers and meet them at Astoria,
then join in the welcome at Portland,
and top it off by preparing a genuine
old bunch grass welcome to Eastern
Oregon. We understand the Belief Corps
in Ihe Dalles is to have a meeting Sat
urday evening for the purpose of arrang
ing matters to that end, and if they do,
every man, woman and child in the city
should vie in their efforts to assist them,
and will do so. There is plenty for the
older ones to do, and, judging from the
number of children scattered through
out the city, we have enough to line
the sidewalks with them, and let the
little ones "etrew flowers in their way
who come in triumphant." If we are
to pass the 4th by unheeded, let us cull
out a holiday for the return of our boys.
Tomorrow evening will occur the violin
recital of Elmore Bice at the K. of P.
ball. He will be accompanied on the
piano by Prof. Birgfeld, and the follow-
ng excellent program will be rendered:

Our contemporary in an article in yes
terday's edition regarding the opera
houses in our city, makes a suggestion VI.
which TriE Chuonicle cannot conscien
tiously second.
We do not deny the fact that we are
sadly in need of a theater, where the
acoustic properties are good and where
one can Bit comfortably throughout a
performance without feeling every mo
ment that he is about to turn a somer
sault and thus furnish amusement for
the entire audience. Neither do we
take iseue with Bro. Douthit regarding
the fact that it is more easy to suggest
than to put in practice that tugeestion.
It is 'easy enough for a community to
sit and complain as to the Btate of af
fairs and how they shall be remedied.
but to put themselves in Mr. Vogt's
place and do as they tell him fo do is
another thing.
Oa the other hand, we believed that
the objectionable features of the build
ing cause many of the failures to secure
an audience. Unless theater-goers feel
positive just what sort of a play they
are about to bear, thev will consider
Borne time before spending $1 to hear
only half of the performance and be un
comfortable the entire evening.
As far as the proprietor is concerned,
he has done more now than perhaps
any other citizen would have done. In
deed, were every other citizen as enter
prising as Mr. Vogt, wbat a city we
would have. But, in the first place the
building was intended for an armory,
and is a good one, but we do not believe
an armory and opera house can ever go
successfully hand in band. In the first
place, the floor of an opera house should
not be level ; in the second, shifting
seats can never be made comfortable.
And we might go on, like the preacher,
until we reach lastly. As regards the
stage, judging from our own experience
and those of others more competent to
judge, it is all that could be desired,
roomy and well supplied with scenes
The dressing rooms also are com
fortable, and if receipts would admit of a
janitor being employed who would clean
them up and keep the stage and stairs
leading to these rooms in r respectable
condition, not a fault could be found
The Times-MountaineerBuggests that
the talent of The Dalles agree to give at
least two entertainments a year for the
benefit of the opera house to improve
the building. While we feel poBitiye,
having heard it discussed, that the
! oaie taUnt would not only give two,
tinv.iy entertainments tor the pur
pose of seen ting a g'wid opera house, at
the same time we do not believe they
would be willing:, nor would it bo ex
pedieni, lo cxp nd money on the build
ing no a in 11 re as an armory, and It la
claimed that this is the only means by
which any money is made on it. The
Dalles is not in need of such a large
opera house; a smaller one would be
much better adapted toils use. Would
it not be a better plan to leave it as it is,
with the exception of purchasing scenery,
etc., from Mr. Vogt, and let the building
be ueed as an armory, for mass meetings
and the numberless things for which
such a building is required. Then if a
lot could be obtained and a neat, inex
pensive opera house built, with perhaps
offices over it or Btore rooms beneath, it
seems to us it would be a much better
plan, a more paying one and at the same
time more satisfactory.
Should Mr. Vogt care to consider such
a plan, we feel assured the home talent
would make some arrangement to assist
in the scheme, either by forming a stock
company with him or on their own
hook. Just how . the plan could be
formulated might be considered later
should it be thought advisable.
