After an illness of several i weeks, Mr. L,. G. Kline died at ! his residence in this city shortly j before noon -, last Monday, brief mention of which was made in Tuesday's Gazette. . His death was caused jointly by a compli oation of kidney troubles and old age. Mr. Kline was born in Kalish, Poland, September io, 1828, and was littJe past 72 years of age at the time of his death. When quite a young in an he went to England where he made his home for a number of years. Ha came from there to the United States in 1850 and set tled in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was wedded to Adeline Hill, March 9, 1856. He came- to the Pacific Coast via the Isthmus in 1864, alld arrived at San Francisco. In September of this year he arrived in Corvallis. He has resided here continuously ever since. Mr. Kline was a tailor by trade aud opened up a business of this kind in connection with general merchandising. For nearly twenty years he continued in business in various business locations in the city, but in January, 1884, he retired from active life and turned the enterprise over to his son, Simon. He was a very success-tul- business man and amassed considerable wealtb. Looking after this competency has occu pied him the greater part of the time since 1884. The funeral occurred at 1 130 o'clock yesterday afternoon from the family residence. Tho ser vices were conducted by Rabbi Mosesshon, under the auspices of Barnum Lodge, I. O. O. F. The interment occurred at the Jewish cemetery, in Albany, and the funeral party was con veyed there by a special train. The remains were laid to rest by the side of the deceased's late wife, whose death occurred something over a year ago. During his business life in this city Mr. Kline was much esteemed by his patrons, and later in life, when the pressure f business affairs was not so great aud he had more leisure, the social side of his. nature was shown. L. G. Kline will long ba remembered for many esti mable traits of character and a most kindly disposition. Thus has ended a life most worthily spsur, and with it, one of the connecting links of the Corvallis of the past aud the Corvallis of the present. Mr. Kline is sur vived by three children, Moses Kline, of Portland, S. L. Kline aud Miss Pauline Kline; tha latter two both of this city. He also leaves two grandchildren in San Francisco. For Sweet Charity. The Gazette is in receipt of a letter from Clarence Owsley, editor of the Galveston, Texas, Tribune, stating that he, at the time of the storm, Sept. 8th, had in press a very handsome publication entitled, "Picluresqua Galveston." It is a book of something over one hun dred pages, printed on 80-pound coated paper, filled with views of this, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was to have been issued this week by the busi ness men of Galveston as a souven ir advertisement of tha.t city. Mr. Owsley has tendered the profits of this publication to the Galveston Relief Committee, and under their auspices the book will be sold to the general public at $2 a volume. Probably 2,000 or 3,000 volumes were saved from the elements. Of course the first orders received will be the first orders filled. Orders received after the edition is ex hausted will be returned with the cash. The offer of the Tribune has been approved in behalf of the Galveston Relief Committee, by Chairman W: A. McVitie. The vol ume is well worth the price asked. Besides, purchasers will have the satisfaction of knowing that they are contributing to the relief of thousands who were left homeless and destitute by the hurricane. Ad dress all orders and make checks payable to the Galveston Tribune. For Reut. Three good office rooms. M. Zierolf. Apply toT P. Music Lessons.

Three Protestant ladies had called at the church during a meeting that was being held in furtherance of some charitable purpose in which they were interested, and when they came down the aisle, all the pews being occupied, the priest in charge said to an attendant, "Three chairs for the Protestant ladies." The at tendant misunderstood, and called out, "Three cheers for the Protes tant ladies!" The cheers were given with a will, and it was all the holy father could do to stop the exhuber ant reception before the attendant could call for a "tiger." Housekeeper Wanted. Lady without family.
