A very tormenting habit of eomo of
our young boys is tljat of throwing at
Chinamen ns thoyiiuss, attending to
their own business, ml not in any wise
iuterfeiing with thy little hoodlums. No
more energetic re can be found than
these Chiuameiiiid so long as we admit
them to our ehtee, the law should pro
tect them. yfl5verybody knows Dick,
who is an inoffensive young Chinaman
mid not oo who would merit such
treatmentas ho daily receives, when a
gang of little toughs stand on the corner
aud pelt him witii mud as he passes
carryig bundles of clothes. It is use
less for him to attempt to defend him
selftor the foolish parents of these same
disreputable boys would seo that their
"darlings" were not unjustly deult with
by a measly Chinaman. Just the same,
( they are not capable of bringing up
their children tho law should assist
them in the person of the marshal.
KxnrenMon of Gratitude.
Although having been almost com
pletely stunned by tho sorrow which
came upon US' in the terrible death of
our daughter, Maggie, we are not in
sensible to the many kindnesses be
stowed upon us by friends on every
hand ; on the contrary we can never
expreess our thanks sufficiently. While
It Is well nigh impossible to designate
among those who were particularly
thoughtful and helpful were Messrs. S
Bolton and J. Robertson. We take this
means of thanking you all.
Mil. AND MJIH. W. D. GlI.MOItli,
SWEET RE8T FROM SUFFERING
Full rartlcutnra KeRanllng thn Death
of Mag-gin Ollmorr Funrral
VcHterclay.
A large number of relatives and friends
gathered at the Gtlmoro homestead, two
miles from the river, on the Washing
ton side yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock
to attend tho funeral services of Maggie
Gllmore. Tho terrible circumstances
which caused her death, mado tho oc
casion doubly sad. Rev. D. V. Poling
conducted tho services, giving a short
address suited to tho occasion, nnd two
appropriate hymns wero Bung by Rev.
Poling and W. E. Simonton. The pail
bearers were S. Bolton, Grant Mays, V.
Koontz, W. Crofton.L. Curtis and M.
Donnell. As tho funeral procession
landed on this side of tho riyer many
friends joined and accompanied it to
Odd Fellows' cometery, where the re
mains wero interred, covered with a
profusion of flowers, among which was a
wreath from tho Antelope school.
Fuller particulars of the accident
which caused Miss Gilmore's death are
obtained from those who accompanied
the body to tho city. Instead of tho
lamp exploding in her lap, it was nc
cidentally knocked from the table by
one of the little boys and caught the
carpet. In attempting to escape from
the room, Miss Gilmore's dress caught
fire. In her terror, she ran from the
room, the flames completely enveloping
her, and had, reached the street when
Johnnie Bennett caught her nnd wrap
ping a blanket around her, extinguished
the flames. He was badly burned about
the hands and wrists.
At first tho physician did not deem
her case necessarily fatal, although four-
fifths of the surface of the body was
badly burned and she suffered terribly
It however, developed later that she
swallowed the fire, which caused her
death.
Her grandmother, Mrs. Giltnore, who
was there at the time, with great pres
ence of mind for one of her years,
grabbed a floor mat and beat out the
flames in the room, thus saving the
house and preliapa the lives of the little
ones.
Mies Gilmore was attending school in
Antelope and had made many friends
theie, who deeply deplore her sad fate.
injured In Au Accident.
Saturday Mrs. Kate Hallitnan, a sec
ond cousin of Mrs. N. Wicks, and her
adopted daughter arrived in the city
from Oswego for the purpose of going
out to tlio Wicks' place at the forks of
Mill creek, where Ned Wicks Is ill, and
whom she intended to help nurse. Late
in tho evening she started with Mrs.
Wicks for her destination, the latter
driving. Upon reaching a place in the
road near 0. D. Taylor's place, tho team
turned up on a Bidling place and tipped
the wagon over. Seeing tlmt-tliey were
about to go over, Mrs. Halliman threw
the little girl out and jumped out her
83lf. She, howover, fell on her knee
and fractured it badly. Tho women
then began to holloo for assistance, but
after some time, as no one heard them,
Mrs. Wicks walked down to Taylor's
house, when one of tho boys helped to
right tho wagon, lifted the injured lady
in and drove into town.

TWO GAMES EACH.
Tlio II nine Tenni llnwl tho V. M. C. A'x

There is no doubt that tlio Y. M. C. A.
team is a strong one; but it takes more
than ono defeat by oven the Y. M. C, A's
to back our bowlers down, and so the
game started out Saturday night with
confidence on both sides. Tho visiting
team is composed entirely of young men,
perhaps not over 18 years, f.nd they roll
with a vigor; hut tho D.illes team was
not behind time, and the games came
out pretty even, with the exception of
tho second, in which our team came out
forty-nine points ahead. Richards was
high man for Portland, with a total score
of 1815, while Baldwin loomed up with an
even 200.

A Clean riay.
"Human Hearts," which was played
at the Reed last Saturday nitht, drew a
large audience. It is one of the cleaneBt,
best and most elevating plays seen in
Saiem. Many of the parts are extreme
ly pathetic, but just when tho height of
pathos has been reached, in comes a
comedian in tho role of a tramp, who
brings the house from tears into laughter
and mirth. It lias often been said that
Salem is a poor patron of the theater,
but it was plainly demonstrated last
Saturday night at the Reed, that a good,
clean show will bu always highly ap
preciated and well patronized in Salem.
