THE E0RVALL1S GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1903. Burned to Death. About seven ea:s a0 a daughter was bom to the daughter of Senter Payton, at the Occiden tal hotel in this city. The motj'er i and father were members of a theatrical company that was playing an engagement in this city at the time of the birth. The child was named "Trilby Corvallis Curt?." About three or four years, ago the parents again visited Corvallis and the little girl appeared on the stage during the entertainment.. Ow ing to the circumstances of the child's birth and the fact that she was named after this city, many took a keen intciest in the little tUiuT and. 'kept -posted on her whereabouts. Dr. C. H. Lee, of this city, attended the -mother at the time the child was born, and the parents have cor responded regularly since that time. A few days ago Dr. C. H. X,ee received a letter announcing that the little girl had been burned to death in Chattanooga, Tenn. According to the information re ceived, the mother and little girl occupied a room in a hotel that had a fireplace in it. A week ago Sunday morning the mother arose and a fire was kindled on the hearth. When- the mother .had about completed her toilet the child arose. The little girl went over to the fire-place and got too close to the fire. Her night gown caught fire. The mother caught the child up in her arms and screamed for help. One of the members of the company, who occupied a near by room, heard the mother scream and rushed to her assist ance. The man was obliged to break the door in order to gain an entrance to the room, and when he got in he threw a blanket around both mother and child The child did not at first show signs o beiugv fatally burned, "but she expired about 24 hours later. , It is thought that she in haled the flames. This is sad news lor many people in Corval lis, who extend their sympathy to the bereaved parents. The stage name given the lit tie girl was "Baby" Josephine Curts. Dr. Iee received a elm ping from the Chattanooga News of January 12, of which the fol lowing is a paragraph: "Baby Josephine Curts -was born in Corvallis, Oregon, May 5, 1895, aud was therefore past seven years of age. She was one of the most winsome and best known child-actresses in the country. She was a niece of Misses Vina and Iucy Payton, and the granddaughter of Mr. Senter Payton, The mother placed the child on the stage a few weeks after she was born, where she has. been ever since. The father of the child resides in Big Springs, Tex. He has been notified of the death of the child and will arrive in this city-tomorrow morning." Parents' Meeting. The attention of the patrons of the public schools of our city and neighboring vicinity is called to " the "Parents' Meeting" arranged by Supt. Denman to be held in Corvallis, January 31. The great benefit arising from such meet ings is bey oud question." The crying need of the public school at the present time is the bring ing of the home and school into closer relation. The value and benefit of such a blending of forces is apparent to every patron of our schools. It is the duty of every parent to show by their action their interest in such work. Every patron who possibly can; should attend this meeting. In order to insure a successful time Corvallis Grange No. 242 has united with Supt. Denman on this occasion. . They intend to not only be present but have taken a prominent part in the program. The plan of meeting is to have parents bring their din ner with them and join with the teachers and Grangers in having a good time. It is Supt. Den man's intention to see personally, as far as possible, the; parents of of our city and urge their at tendance, 4 While the preparation of a lunch means some time and trouble-, yet the benefit to be derived by such an event will more than repay any expense . incurred. The teachers of our public school have taken hold of this meeting- with a determination that insures a grand, good time. Each grade of the public school will be represented in the exer cises. A complete program wili appear in next issue or the Gazette. After Ten .Years. Edson Nash, a nephew of Geo. W. Fuller, of this city, arrived in Civalli?, Tuesday. He for merly resided in this county, but left here about ten years ago and went to Idaho and sections of country- adjoining that state. He finally drifted onto the Ncz Perce Indian Reservation and bought a body of land from an Indian. At that time he says one could ride 60 or 70 miles and would see nothing more in the way of civilisation than a "shack" here and there. Con ditions changed rapidly : up there and today it is quite a populous country. Towns as large as Corvallis have sprung into existence, land- advanced rapidly in price and the entire country was reclaimed, so to speak. Last spring Mr. Nash sold his farm at a good figure and after looking about the country a bit, drifted back to his old home tor a few days' visit with relatives and friends. "He says that in the main he does not see a great change in Corvallis in many re spects the town has gone for ward, but not beyond an easy stage of recognition. In a short time he intends to return to Idaho and locate on some land. He does not expect to go to the Nez Perce country, but will visit the Paradise or Rose Prairie section. This is something like 75 Miles from Ivewiston, and in Mr. Nash's opinion will be settled up rapidly. Going to Valdez. George W. Smith intends to leave, Monday, for Valdez, Alas ka. He will accompany the Roland brothers, who will go-to Portland, Sunday. The latter have been in the far north en gaged in mining for ths past six years, and have been very lucky. For a period they , mined near Dawson, but a present have min ing claims about 175 miles in the interior from Valdez. They are presumed to hold mining property worth $200,000 or $300, 000. On arriving at Valdez the party will sled their outfit 'to their claims and Mr. Smith will most likely accompany them. The Valdez country, it is thought, has a great future. According to the Oregonian a few days ago, there is to be an all-American line of railroad run from Valdez to Dawson. If this proposition is a go, things in that section will hum. One of the Roland brothers has his family domiciled in this city and the ether brother has just made a trip to his old home m Nebraska. A couple oT months ago some of the gold brought out by them was on ex hibition in a show window of a jewelry store in this city. -The nuggets were quite large ' and of a fine quality of gold. "- " ' Is Somewhat Odd. Human nature is a very pecul iar thing this statement cannot be successfully contradicted. Ten years ago a man appeared on James Wilkinson's farm some twelve or fifteen miles south of this city, and in spite of the fact that Mr. Wilkinson ordered him from the premises, went to work. Me was a rather spare, athletic fellow in these days and proved to be a good farm hand. He was allowed to . remain and work. Weeks passed into months and months into years and still the man worked on. He asked for no money all he wanted was duck clothing and plenty to eat. While decidedly odd in some ways, lie is no fool and uses eood judgment about his work. On more occasions than one he has proved most reliable. What his name is nobody knows, but he responds to "Ned." During all these years he has remained a mystery; he has . worked, eaten and slept, and seemed to care for nothing ' further. He is still on Mr. Wilkinson's farm and from a trimly-built man has devel oped , into goodly proportions. His overalls are now a snug fit when the waist-band is 50 inches in length the legs need be only 30 inches long. From what we can learn "Ned" is all right. City Restaurant.

Prof. Lance's Knowlcdze of the Solar - Systeta Doubted by the Snail Boy; Acquaintances of E. M. Lance and who in Benton county does not know Ed .Lance? will appreciate the follow ing narrative, which appeared in Wednes day's Oreou'uu 7 "That profeso.-," bai t a small boy at the KusBCilvilJe School, yesterday, in a voice vibrant with c!iHr'i-t,-"that profes sor don't know no'h:ii,." And he shot about four withering giancesat Professor E. M. Liu jo, the principal who was de livering a lecture on "Astronomy" to the pupils. . The pedagiuu "was cndcavoiiu to "in still a thirst for kaowla.hje into the ris ing geaera'ijj, but" aoiaivd hij most complete BUicedd ia coaviacia socus of his juveuila audiancj that he was dwell ing in a:i abysmal igasraa.-e of things solar, luiar, stellar and astronomical. "Tii-j sua," said Professor Lance, ich the true -oratorical inflection, 'is 93,0o0, 003 miles away from us." Nbi being prepared to .argue the point tho small boy accepted it with a vague but inarticulate distrust, and the learned man, who had toid the school children to question hiaa freely, proceeded unin terrupted. , "Ninety-five , million miles," said he, "is so great a distance, that if a boy had an arm long enough to reach the sun, it would be many thousand years before he knew he was burnt." And the pedant paused benignantly that his illustration n:iu;ht percolate the mental jungle before him.' It was af this i.incture that the small boy reached the stage of indignation which damaada a verbal oa'' Jt. He rose from his seat as Mr. Lane invited the curious to do, and sought tho speaker's eye. , "How is that?'' said the small boy with lha forceful brevity of language which be longs to the young, the unlettered and and the foreiin-born. "IIo.v caaitb9? If I pat my hand on the stove I know it right away. Isn't the sun just as hot as the stove?" The profc3sjr carefully explained the matter to the skeptic, who resumed hi 3 seat, vanquished by the rnellifluaus ver biage of tha lecturer, but unconviaced. His distrust of Mr. Lince as a leader in the path 3 of knowledge was rapidly grow ing. Aud then the schoolmaster turned to the subject of gravitation, "Were the force of gravitatioa sus pended for one brief moment," said the i-nagiaativo professor, "everything oa the earth would immediately rly off into space at aa inconceivable Velocity." At the risk of iu yoking a very material wrath upon himself, the doubling Thomas iu the rear S9at onc:a more ro33. "Where would we to?" he asked. About this tiui3 the lecture adjourned. Unitarian Services. "Four Fundamental Articles of Lib eral Christian Faith" will be the subject of a sermon by Rev. W. G.
