SANE OR INSANE. Justice Fitzgerald of the su preme court of New York has decided that Harry K. Thaw shall be examined that his sanity many be determined. A com mission has already been select ed to conduct the examination. Thaw declares himself as sane as the judge now. It is making a nice point in ad mitting insanity, in fact, plead ing insanity during the few moments required to commit a criminal act and then immediate ly to become perfectly sane. Yet sucii is the course pursued by Thaw and his attorneys in conducting tha defense of the former for the murder of Stan ford White. Again, it is strange that if Tiia.v is at the present time per fectly sane that he has never at any time since the murder given evidence of any regret for the killing of White duri g his awful attack of "brain storm." This wou d go tJ prove that his mind at present is in the same state it was when the deed was committed. In other words, he has not changed his mind. This theory of temporary insanity, is getting "dog-eared." After all this "fuss and stew" over the trial of Thaw, and the expense of said trial, it is now determined to ascertain if he was insane at the time he corn committed the deed and his men tal condition at the present time. What a saving it might have boen for the tax-p lyers of New York if tha question had been sat led before so much money had bean spent over his trial. Thaw belongs either to the in sane asylum or the electric chair. There seems no justice in send ing hm' forth into the world again a free man. The Standard Oil octopus has advanced the price of its com modity one-fourth cent per gal lon. This is refreshing news for those who use kerosene lamps, automobiles and yachts. The Standard Oil magnates justify their course by a statement that the rise of price was made nec essary by the increased cost of conducting the process of pro curing said raise or words to this effect. J. J. Hill says that "red lights" are ahead for the cau tious business man. He does not mean that everything is going to the bow wows, but says there is in progress a recession of busi ness. This he seems to infer will affect only those who wear diamonds and automobiles. SILVER T03 CHEAP. Banks Flooded Refuse to Accept More Strange Condition. Portland banks have an over surply of silver coins, and will not accept any great amount of thm for depositing, savs yester day's Telegram. Few knew that the city was flooded with the white metal un til yesterday, when tbe United Collector of Customs sect $12, 000 in silver to deposit in the First National Bank, in accord ance with a new regulation which had been put into effect by the treasury department at Washington. The stacks of sil ver were refused, on the grounds that more of that suit of money is in the bank now thau can be handled to advantage. Inquiry showed that the other financial institutions are similarly affect ed. Word came from Washington tbe other day that from now on fell import money received at this part should be deposited in the Fi st National Bank at Portland, iiK-ed of ; einc sent lo the Unit rd Sutes sub-treasury at San Francisco, as has -een the cus tom. Since tbe local baoK will I noi accept the silver, th.- Collec-ione tot of Customs is wiring- to the treasury department at Washing tun today to determine what be sh ;11 do with. it. In the mean- ltnt- the coin , that no one ap pears to want is being;" htld in private depositories. Duty to the amount of $80, . in go d, collect d from ' the Oriental iiuer .: Arabia's cargo, was received at the bank-yesterday without any objections, but when the silver was offered with the yellow circulating medium it was frowned upon as being too cheap. Additional money will be collected on the Arabia's c rgo, but some means for keep ing it in private s-afes? may Tiave to be found if it should happen to be silver. CURE FOR "WHITE PLAGUE." Hope For Sufferers Held Out. What It Is. Consumption is a subject that today is being discussed ihe world over, and it now looks as though the dav is not far distant when sufferers froin this terrible malady will have hope held oui to them by the medical profes sion. There has been an awak ening but recently in regard to the havoc wrought in human life and affairs by this plague and every new discovery is hailed with delight that promises help for those afflicted. News of a new cure comes from Boston, and the story reads: Hope lor sufferers from the jsjreat white plague is held out by the success or experiments with vaccine inoculation as a cure tor tuberculosis, not only of lungs, but on other organs of the body, by the faculty of Tufts College Medical School and pathological department of the Massachusetts Genera Hospital. The t:eatmeut has already been tested in the case of Mrs. Curtis Guild, Jr., wife of Gov ernor Guild, with most encour aging results. At Tuft's Medical School the woik has been in charge ot Dr. Timothy Leary, professor of path logy and bacteriology in the Massachusetts General Hos pital, and Dr James Homer Wri-ht. Dr. Wright calls the treatment "the Opsonic method," from the fact that the opsoning in the blood are stimulated to greater activiiy. In" the O'.se of disease when dangerous bacteria attack the body, the opsoning set to work 10 destroy the bacteria. If they succeed the patient recovers, but if they fail, the disease progress es and the deadly absorption 0 the vital organs begins. Dr. Leary says of the preven tative with which he is experi menting. "What we are "trying to do, what. others in every part of the medical and scientific world are at work tiying to do, is to elab orate a specific which will so strengthen the powers of the hu man blcod that their resistance in tbe inroads of disease will not only be increased but prolong ed; which will make them im mune against the inroads of tht bacteria and keep them up to the point which they must possess in order to perform the work for which they were intended by na ture." In Their Honor. At the First Methodist church Monday evening a farewell re ception to Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Underwood called together a large company of friends- of the guests of honor who spent the evening in a very happy manner. An impromptu program was giv en which included a song by the audience, solo by Dr. Cathey: recitation, Mrs. Carroll Curn nrngs; vocal solo, Mrs. Arthur Haynes; recitation, Mildred L. Hall and recitation, Harriet Fos ter. Rev. Feese, on behalf of the company, requested . Mr. and Mrs. Underwood to come for ward, and in a few well- chosen words presented them with a handsome Japanese inlaid music stand, as a token of the esteem in which they are held by the church people. Mr. Underwood responded feeliugly,, assuring all that only for the purpose of bet tering their condition , ' in life would they sever the pleasant ties they have formed in Corval lis. He closed by inviting evety- to come over to Lebanon and pay them a visit W. C. Swann then requested Miss Zetta Underwood to come forward, when he presented 1 her a book, a token of loving i regard from" the Intermediate League of which"; she has been; aj faithful member, " '' The- remaining hours of the eveningi were spent in social con versation,' coffee and cake being served to all in the dining room, The occasion was one of pleas ure for ail, although there was general regret expressed . that it should have been --necessary to say goodbye, to Mr. and Mrs. Underwood and, family Would Furnish Sites. At a special .meeting held by . 1 1 -11 i a r lt line memoers 01 me u' aru ior iue feeble-minded institute, a volumi nous list ot tracts of land sites tor the construction ot the new buildings was presented by the owners for tbe consideration of the board. Maps, blue prints and descrip tions of many desirable' places were laid before tbe"v In fact, the table around which Governor Chamberlain, State Treasurer Steel, and acting Secretary of State Judge Benson, sat was pil ed so high with documents that th board decided to appoint a special 'committee to examine each tract of land separately, select tbe most desirable, secure the best prices and report to the board at the earliest opportunity. The committee appointed con sists of William Waldo, one of the city aldermen, and Railroad Commissioner Oswald West. The appropriation bill as introduced by Senator Miller, of Linn and Marion, originally provided for $160,000 for building and main taining this institute, b-.t was cut down to the committees and passed providing $100,000 for buildings and equipment, $10, 000 for maintenance, and there is also about $15,000 available, which was left over from the ap propriation nnde four years ago, 10 apply lo the same purpose. The selection is to consist of 800 acres. Superintendent Jones, of the. blind school acted as secre tary to the board. Oregonian.

He was able to do tnis br cause ot the superior keeping quality of his apples, which enabled him to hold his iruit un til all other growers were out of the market, says the Oregonian.

He also claims to have had the same ex perience for several vears. Mr. Lcwdsdale's Spitzenburgs bave brought him from $2.50 to $3. 10 per box, according to size. Baldwins were sold from $1 to $1.65, with an average of $1.27 for car shipments. Ben Davis brought from $1 to fi 35 f. o. b. cars. Mr. Lownsdale says his cuil have averaged him $i.c6 per box.
