A NEW COASTING STEAMSHIP.
To Make Direct Ctmnectioa Between Part
laid, Alsoa, Taqiiaai Cooe Bay
and Other fointi.
Portland, June 2. The efforts
of the Chaiuber of Commerce to
secure a larger trade from Paciflc
CoJst seaport towns is bearing
trait, i tie telegram mis evening
save : An agreement was entered
Ir with George W. Williams who
w t.t 10 San Franciaco,-- here?
after diligent search, he purchased
the Bteamsbip Wilmington, and is
now at the Ainsworth dock being
prepared for service at once.
Her cross tonnage is 940.76, and
the net tonnage is 752.07 tons. On
a draft of twelve feet she can carry
1000 tons, so it is said, and if no.
she will be a good boat for that
trade. She is, by her license, re
quired to ctrry one captain, two
mates, three engineers, and a crew
of twecty-two men. There are
stateroouid enough to accommodate
ninety-three first-class passengers,
and the rooms are large and com
fortable. There are also steerage
accommodotions lor over 100 pas'
sengers. and nearly twice that
number could be carried it neccs
sarv.
She is an iron vessel, and though
built in 1870 has just been in the
dry dock aud careiully examined.
It is the intention to run the
boat ltetween here and Coos bay
direct, on weekly trips. From
Coos lay the tteam schooner
Geotge 11. Chance ill bo run to
adjacent points. Up the coast
from tbere she will connect with
Uiupqua, Siuslaw, Aleea and Ya
quina. Southerly she will go down
to Coquilie and Fort Orford.
In this manner a direct trade
can be had between this city and
all thoBe towns, and if regular
service is kept up, the business is
sure to increase rapidly. The slow
growth of many of these towns has
been caused by the irregular com
munication between them and the
outride world.
That this is more important than
our merchants realize, may bo in
ferred from the fact that of late
there is scarcely an issue of any of
the San rranciscj dailies hut
what contains some article urging
their merchants not to let Port
land draw away from them the
trade of Coos bay and vicinity.

A NEW I'K.NNV THICK.
How Sla Copper Caa Be Manipu

Here is a very simple little trick
with pennies which will catch the
sharpest of your friends :
Place six pennies on the table
and arrange them in the form of a
Roman cros. that ii, finir pennies
in a perpeiidicnlar nnv for ih up
right and one on each side ot t';e
second penny for the cxis-t piece.
You Mill then have two raws, the
up and down row with four
pennies in it, and the horizontal
row witu three pennies in it. Aek
your friends to place them in two
rows with four in a row by only
changing the position of one
penny.
They will try, but they won't
succeed.
Then crush them and win lie
bet, if you happen to be of that
nature, by placing the lower
penny on the crpendieular row
on the center penny. Of course
you did not Klipul tie that th-coinis
were not to le phice i on top of

What the Charleston's Chase Has
Cost the Government.
Ntw York, June 2. The Woild's
Washington special says : The
Charleston, acting under instruct
ions from the navy department,
has given up the chase of the Data.
The cruiser is coaling at Call.it,
and will lill her bunkers within
twenty-four hours. There is an
impression at the navy depart
ment that she will be ordered back
to San Francisco. It is interesting
to note just what chasing the
Itata has cost. A conservative
estimate made by a naval officer
puts the extiense of sending the
Charleston to Callao and bringing
her ba.-k again at fio.iXW. J im
probably is much below the actual
cost, and the Data is still at large.

laslSeptember. I obser red nothing
suspicious in the play at Plain
till' s houte at Tandy court. 1 was
first informed of the report current
in regard to Sir William by Lord
Coventry."
Continuing, the prince eaid the
sad event (the charges brought
against Sir William) had broken
up the party at Tandy court.
At this stage a juryman caused
a sensation by rising in his place
and asking in a loud voice :
"Are ttie jury to understand
that you were banking on these
two occasions and knew nothing
oi the alleged malpractices?"
' Th? prince hesitated for a 1 rnc .?fJ.
ment, as if undeciiltM as te
whether he ought or ougit not re
ply. Finally no said, with a half
smile: "It is very easy for a
hanker when dealing the cards not
to see anything, esiecially when
in the company of friends in a
country house. You do not sup
pose that any one will play un
laiily.'' The juror a: ked : "What was
your opinion at the time the
charges were made against the
plaintiff?"
To this the prince savagely re
plied : "The charges made against
iiim were so unanimous thatl bad
not any other course open to me
than to believe them."
The prince's last answer caused
another tlutter of excitement fol
lowed by whisjiered comment.
He tieemed very glad and re
lieved when his examination was
over.

derous Scoundrel, Who Had
His Eseape in the Darkness.
Ei. Paso, Tex., June 2. As the
freight train, bound for California
from the East, reached the last
switch at the stock yards early
yesterday morning, a man jumped
ml of the darkness, pulled open
the switch and disappeared, fcn
iineer Simpson saw the man open
the switch when only about thirty
feet lay between it and the engine.
His es-ajie from death was mirac
ulous, as he stuck to his post and
went over with his engine and
lour cars. Fireman Dillon and
l'.rakeuian O'Neill received a few
iiruises as they jumped from the
train. The engine and four cars
were completely wrecked and the
track was taken up for a consider
able distance. Men were imme
diately put to work and the east
bound Southern Pacific was de
tained but a short time. Spite is
supposed to be the incentive for
Uie murderous deed, although the
man has not been traced so far.
I.ANGTK1-S LATEST.
She Barters Her Smile for the
Caxh of is English 6 pert,
London. June 2. The reports
cabled to America that Mrs. Lang
try is short of cash are wide of
ttie mark. It is well known here,
particularly among those familiar
with the Fiiorting world, that Mrs.
Langti y is at present under the
special protection of Wm. Baird,
w ho is better known in sporting
circles by the name of "Abing
don." He is the best gentleman
rider in England.
Abingdon is about as good as
the best professionals. He owns
one of the best stables in England
and is I roverbially lucky with his
horses, and, withal, derives an in
come something like (500,000 a
year from his interest in his mines
!n the north of England. He is a
coarse and illiierata fellow, whe
makes no secret ol'is company
with notable women.
The way some of them have
victimized him is startling. He
once handed Dolly Teeter, a beau
tiful Riighlon barmaid, a blank
check to till in as she pleased, when
she promptly cashed it for $25,000
and married liord Aylesbury. Cur
rent report credits Abingdon with
squaring all Mrs. Langtry's debts
and with settling upon her a hand
some annuity.
