Your Spring Need in the m VI 17 THE WASHINGTON TAKES TO THE WATER AT CAMDEN Is Not On? of the Fastest Unu of Her Class, Hiit Is the Sujierlor of Many of .the Earlier First-class Ves sels Has the Greatest Battery and Defensive Power of Any Crul lias 23,000 Horse Power. Camden, X. J., March 18. In the presence of several thousand and to a chorus of steam whistles and clanging bells, the United States armored cruiser Washington, the most power ful of its class yet built, gracefully glided from the ways at the yard of the New York Shipbuilding company today. As the new warship swept down the ways toward the rippling waters of the Delaware the assembled multitude wildly cheered the new champion. Owing .to the distance of the state of Washington from this city, there was not a large attend ance of citizens of the commonwealth honored by the navy department when toe Washington was named. There was an Influential delegation on hand, however, composed of state officials, members of the legislature and the Washington representation In congress. The ship was christened by Miss Helen Stewart Wilson, daugh ter of former United States Senator Wilson, of Washington. The Washington was contracted for on February 3, 1904, and at the same time the Cramps were awarded the contract for a. sister ship, the Tennes see There has been quite a rivalry between the two shipbuilding firms to see which could complete Its con tract the quickest. The New York Shipbuilding company Is ahead with the launphlng of the Washington. This is partially due to the fact that Ihe Way on Which the cruiser was built are covered by a mammoth shed of glass ani steel, allowing for work; 'in all kinds of weather. The Washington, while not design ed to be quite as fast as some of the lighter armed cruisers, will have greater battery and defensive powers than any vessel classed as a cruiser. In fact, she will be superior to many battleships of the earlier type. The Washington's length on water line is 502 feet; breadth at load water line, 72 feet; displacement on trial, 15 feet; mean draft at maximum load, 27 feet The steaming radius at 10 knots will be 6500 knots; steaming radius at full speed, about 3100 knots. The armor plate protection ranges from 9 Inches for the turrets to S Inches for the belt. The cruiser will have a very heavy armament The main batteries will consist of four 10 inch guns and 16 6-Inch guns. The secondary battery will have 23 3-inch rapid-fire guns, 12 3-pounder semi automatic guns, two 1-pounder auto matic and two 1-pounder rapid-fire guns, two 3-inch field pieces and three small calibre rapid-fire machine guns. The Indicated horse-power of the engines is 23,000 and they are de sclgned to drive the vessel at a speed of at least 22 knots an hpur.

WJ.CLARK&GO. ! Interesting Letter From New York City New York, March 18. Naphtall Hers Imber erratic genius of the East Side, the original of "Makitsedek Plnchas," and author of the Zionist anthem, has Just published his latest collection of poems, and the book Is dedicated to "His Majesty, the Mika do Mutsuhito, Ruler of Japan," whom the bard elsewhere Indicated as "the blood avenger of Kiechlneff." To Mr. Imber then belongs the honor of being the f'rst man to dedicate a book written in Hebrew to the Em peror of Japan. Mr. Imber is also the first to prophesy the downfall of Russia In Hebrew verse, and to sing of the tri umphs of Japanese arms. The book represents the third edition of Mr. Imber's collection of poems under the name "Barkol." which is the Hebrew for "Sparks From Heaven." There are a number of new poems in the volume, and nearly all of them deal with the war in the Far East. The Strenuous Life. After much thought on the subject the coroner's office has decided to attribute to the strenuous life the un precedented number of sudden deaths which have occurred of late. For that reason all coroner s physi cians have been instructed to exer cise the greatest possible care in ex amining the bodies of all persons re Dorted to have "died suddenly." Coroner Nicholas Brown, discussing the subject, says: "The weather alone has not been responsible for the enor mous number of deaths reported sudden.' There are other and more corent reason. People live too rast they drink and eat too much and too often and too rapidly. Some smoke too much, and cigarette fiends espe. daily are subject to death from heart failure. Others whiz tnrougn ine streets and country roads in automo biles. While they may escape acci dents, they die suddenly In bed or elsewhere of heart trouble. People who run up elevated railway stair ways to catch a train may lose their lives as a result The men and women who rush up subway stairs may not die while so doing, but they may die the next day. It is the same wnn walking rapidly home or to work or to luncheon." Revival of Irish Immigration. It will be good news to a great many people who were becoming troubled about the changed character of the immigration Into this country that the Irish are beginning to come here attain In something nearer the old-time numbers. Last year 88,110 Immigrants from Ireland were admit' ted at the port of New York. This was an Increase of nearly 7,000 over the number in the year before. Women and men were in the propor tlon of about four to three, and some 1600 were under 14 years old. They brought with them altogether more than a million dollars.

New York city did not by any means get most of these Immigrants, though some two-thirds of them stay ed In the Eastern states. As showing their superior character over the im migrants of the Slavonic and Latin races it is only necessary to show that of all the host that came here less than 1200 were detained for further Investigation, and of these all but 123 were ultimately permitted to land. Sake Neither One Nor the Other. Those who have fallen under the Influence of the insidious Japanese drink, sake, can discover what it Is composed of by reading a decision rendered by the United States circuit court of appeals the other day.' The learned court deliberated long and earnestly over the question whether sake was a still wine or a beer, the point arising in a customs case. The court found resemblances , to still wine in the percentage of alcohol and resemblances to beer In the pro cess of manufacture, sake being a brew from rice. But it found fur ther o many points of dissimilarity from both that it placed the Japanese beverage In the catch-all clause of the tariff which Includes all articles not otherwise enumerated. Divorce While Yon Wait. Much adverse comment is being made by lawyers and clergymen over an amendmetn to the divorce laws of the state which has been adopted by the legislature at Albany. The amendment provides that suits for di vorce may be begun In the state of New York by any non-resident If the offense complained of occurred in the state. The defendant must be a reel dent of the state, but this stipulation carries no weight with it as any per son who has lived here a few days can claim residence here. Under the amendment, John Smith of Saginaw, and his wife, conspiring to have the law separate them, might come to New York, live here a few weeks, and then the wife could bring a suit. She could claim residence here, and name her husband as a res ident It would then be a matter of only a few months at the most to get a divorce. It is declared that the amendment is dangerous In every re. spect as it would form in this city a rival to the divorce colony In Dakota. Governor Hlggins will be petitioned not to sign the amendment Fancy Price for Art This has been a great season for art sales. No sooner is one closed than another commences. The amount paid for pictures and antiques sold at auction during the last two or three months wilt surely run Into sev eral millions of dollar. The latest sale on was the Glaenzer collection of antiques which was held at the Amer lean art galleries this week. A gen ulne old piece of Chippendale carved after the style of the Louis XV period and covered with the original Beau vals tapestry, brought $1550. In one afternoon nearly 130,000 was realised from the sale. Among the tapestries was a beautiful Gobelin of the seven teenth century, with llfe-slse figures and a border, which went for 11150, 01 TO CORRESPOND. AND KNIVES. IN ADDITION BE PLEASED TO HAVE YOTJ .v ANNOUNCEMENT. Standard Grocery Will Handle Ooth- lnc Business Priced Cut Slashed and Slaugheted. Inasmuch as there is no cloth ing store on Court street, and as we are often called upon to snow our grocery customers from the Interior country, where they can purchase clothing, etc. we have decided to handle agents' suits, shoes, hats, caps, etc.. In the future. We intend to carry a complete stock of samples, but Intend to make specialty of taking orders for tailor- made suits. We often wondered how some of Pendleton's department ?) stores could afford to sell some groceries at cost, in order to sell clothing. We are no longer in the dnrk, as we find since going Into the clothing business, that it Is nearly all' profit. As we Intend to put this line In for the accommodation of our customers, we do not Intend to make a profit on the clothing business, but will sell at cost Below are a few of our prices and you will also see samples of the finest line of clothing in the city, on display In our windows. The best suit we carry Is 810. Others ask as high as 820 for the same suit. We have others, all wool and strictly high grade as low . as 84.46 for a whole suit. Underwear, 80o suit, worth 11. Canvas gloves, 4 pair 26c, others sell then 8 for 25c. Good heavy cotton box, 80c dozen. Extra good working shirts, 45c each. Best overalls on earth for 6c. either waist or bib overalls. All other articles carried by a cloth ing store can be had of us at cost, same as above. Some of our clothing competitors may ridicule the idea of going to a grocery store for clothing, but we beg to say that It is not any more ridic ulous than going to a clothing store for groceries. We made arrangements with one of the largest tailoring house of Chl- r-nwn and if vou want a nice suit at a 60 per cent discount, let us have the order. Our terms on clothing, etc., are strictly cash. STANDARD GROCERY CO., Pendleton, Or. THE CLEANSING AND HEALING CURB FOR Catarrh is Ely's Cream Balm Easy and pleasant to use.
