pecial says: "A choice political secret
bas come to the surface which will cause
uneasiness in the minds of congressman
who hare not followed the will of the
president since inauguration. It is that
be proposes to take a band in selecting
the members of the 54th congress. The
national democratic executive committee
propose, if posaibte, to secure absolute
control of the management of the next
Democratic national campaign committee
and also the committee designated bj the
National League of Democratic clubs,
wbicb has heretofore acted jointly with
the national congresiional campaign com
mittee composed ot one member of con
gress for each state. ' Not long ago there
was an important conference at the White
House, and the participants were Dsn
Dickinson, of Michigan ; Josiah Qtriocy,
of Massachusetts; and Chairman Bsrritv,
of the national Democratic eampaig'n
committee. At this conference, it now
develops it was determined by these gen
tlemea it would be politic for the admio

control of the management of the next
congressional campaign, and in so doing
there weuld be a powerful lever influ

position was advance by Cleveland, was
vigorously supported by Dickinson, and

Cnlaeaw Rectstratloa.
Washtnoton, Nov. 27 Tbe treasury
department is somewhat concerned over
tbe prospect of Chinese registration nn.
der tbe new law passed upon tbe eve of
an adjournment of tbe extra session and
under wbich the department bag just is
sued regulations. Tbe suppositien is
tbat tbe Chinese will comply witb tbe
law, but no one can say definitely until
(be experiment is tried. Officials them
selves are as much in tbe dark as any
one. If they should again refuse, tbe
situation would ba Awkward, It is said
the intelligent Chinamen generally did
not object to registration and really
looked upon it as a means of personal
protection, but tbe bulk of them would
be controlled by their employes now as
formerly. Tbey do not, as a race, talk
kindly to having tbeir photographs taken
for the purpese, but there is no reason
to suppose that this objection will long
stand in the way of compliance witb the
law, if tbe Six Companies and tbeir at
torneys be not obdurate.

He disavowed any intention to overthrow
tbe ministenals merely for tbe pleasure
of demoralizing tbe government. He
demanded, boweyer, that tbe ministers

No cabinet which tried to ignore or baf

have done, would be allowed to exist.
Deputy Miller also addressed tbe meet

Held for Identification.
A man giving his name as George Fuller
was arrested as a hobo by Mr. Maloney
Mondayj and he answered the description
of Frank Martin, who was wanted for mur
der committed at Evauston, Wyoming,
Oct. 19th. Of course he pretended to have
no knowledge of having been guilty of any
crime in Wyoming; but on being closely
questioned acknowledged he was in Evans-
ton about that date, and by evasive answers
to otber questions Kve strong indications
of having done something of which he vw
not proud. His discription was given . ia
a printed circular, offering $100 tor his ap
prehension, and accompanying this was a
half-toned photogravure, which resembled
him very mnch. When arrested he had a
full beard, of dark brown color, and, when
the . photograph was taken he was clean-
sbaved. Mr. Maloney had a photograph of
him taken with bis whisker, at-d also one
when these were shaved. He was found to
haye on three coats, and two pairs of trous
ers, one of which tbat answered the des
cription in the circular, being turned inside
out. The name ct the firm of which the
hat was purchased was in embossed letters
on the band; but this had been torn on.
which is rather suspicions. Henry Wade
was tbe man wnom be Killed; but no
further particulars of the crime was given.
Martin threw away tbe coat in which he
left Evanston, which be acknowledged to
tbe recorder. As soon as tbe sheriff ia
heard from, he will either be taken back or
discharged; but very likely the former.

On Wednesday the editor ot the Qazette
had occasion to visit the agricultural college
and spent a profitable hour in the depart
ment of English, presided over by Prof. J.
B. Horner, and was well pleased with tbe
qua tity and quality ot work done in thia
important branch of study. In addition to
the regular text books, much theme work is
dene in special note books prepared for the
classes, much of which we have never seen
excelled. The laboratory system, oral or
written always accompanied by rules and
reasoas is the practice. All thia is nnder
the personal supervision of Prof. Horner,
who hss during the last twenty years been
well and favorably known in Oregon aa
thorough, efficient and popular teacher, and
wbo haa twice been an editor once on a
newspaper and the other time on a maga
zine. The room, which containa portraits
of authors, scenes from Shakespeare and
numberless ctber literary viewiy-ia by far
the beet equipped room in English on the
Paoifio coast, and witb its present growth
will in time be second to none on the conti
nent. ' Both the teacher and students ap
pear to be enthusiastic in their effort to
master the language of the mother tongue.
"Millions In It"
There is always some avenue open to
wealth, even in such depressing times as
the present A genius in Gilliam county
has invented a rat trap which he thinks
will revolutionize the world.and it is thus
described by an exchange: "William
Walton, the young inventor of Mayyille,
was in town this week. - He returned from
Portland a month ago, bringing with him
an iron model of his sand rat trap, which
works to perfection. The trap is a great
improvement over tbe one in common
use, as when once set into the hole of a
sand rat it will catch all the rats that are
in the hole without being reset. The
mam feature of Mr. Walton's trap is a
spring that is wound up like a clock.
When a rat steps on the trap a few coils
of the spring are released with the result
that the varmint is first transfixed anil
then thrown out of tbe trap. The trap
captures a dozen rats witb one winding.
Mr. Walton thinks his little device will
revolutionize the art of rat catching, and
is going to baye it patented. Next spring
he is going to move to some county that
gives a bounty for sand rat scalps, with
half a dozen of his traps, with which be
says he will keep two men busy scalping
and another hauling the scalps to the
county clerk."

Hamilton's Body Found.
Albany Herald Sunday: Yesterday
morning the searchers for the missing man,
Joseph Hamilton, in the mountains on the
North Saotiam, found the body about two
miles from bis cabin, near the trail leading
from the drift above Miss Hall's place to
the cabin of J. B. Comely. The dead
man's little dog hat remained with h m,
faithful to the last, and his presence led to
the finding of the body. About 20 men
were out on tbe search in three tquads, oue
noder tbe leadership of J. O Fox, one
headed by L. V. Liutbead and tbe third
directed by Duncan Ferguson and Ed.
Townsend. About 9 A. M , Messrs. Town-
send and Hollmgsworth, directed by the
presence of the little do, found the body
lying by a log not far from the trail. Death
most have resulted from over exertion and
exposure, as there was no marss on me
body. He was lying a his back, his hands
heme partially under him his hit a fa feet

line Herd of Goats.
Corvallis Times: George V. and his ton
George A. Houck of -this county have per-
haps the finest herd of goats ia the state ot
Oregon. The herd uu in ber a about 450 aud
was receLtly increased and improved by the
acquisitiou of the Ara Caotrel herd. Mr.
Uouck has a hiKh opinion of the goat busi
ness and curing Lis loug experience ot
more than a dozen years has never suld a
fiVece at less than 22 cents per pound, and
bv shipping east frequently receives 30 to
35 cents. The average yield from an ordi
nary herd is about four pound but eight or
ten pounds are frequently clipped from
high grade animals. Goats subsist chit-fly
on brush and browse, whinn makes tnem
of great assistance in clearing land. Last
Wednesday Mr. Houuk received two thor
oughbred Angora bucks direct from the
famous stock farm of Miller and Sibley of
Franklin, Pennsylvania.

Jennie Russell gave a rendition in her usual
admirable style, which was loudly applauded
Mrs. A. Varoey iavored the audience with
an instrumental solo, also Miss Grace Lauer
and Mrs. J. M. Patterson. These were
well received and elioted rounds of ap

STOVES AND CLEANLINESS.
One of tbe Advantages of Life la a Tene
ment House.
One reason for my preference fop
the large tenement is that it permus
the elimination of the cooking stove
from each household. "A home with
out n Ktnve! Impossible 1" I hear
many exclaim. Not in the least iin
possible and something for the very
poor greatly to be desired. First, so
far as heat is concerned, in a tene
ment house holding 50 or CO families,
heat may be supplied from a centra
source which would be far too ex
pensive in a small tenement house of
8 or 10 famines.
The poor usually buy fuel in small
.... . . i - .1. .
Quantities at exceptionally mgu aira,
and this amount, if added to taeir
rent, would in a large tenement sui
nlv them with heat bv steam or hot
water, which would be far prefer
able for the following reasons: The
storing of fuel and the carrying it up
lone fliehts of stairs by tne noaiua
would be done away with, and the
sending children out to gather kin
dling from wharves, streets and va
cant lots, with the dirt and slovenu
ness and weariness which always at
tend such work, would be abolished.
No one who has not worked long
among the poor can realize the serious
drawback to good temper, comfort
and cleanliness that the mere care of
fuel, the cleaning of the stove, and
the disposal of ashes involve with
neoDle who must eat, sleep, bathe and
Live around a coal stove three or four
flights from the cellar or ash barrel.
as is the case in the majority of our
tenements. The waste in fuel is of
ten amjallins:. due largely to igno
rance about drafts and to letting the
fire ero out during a morning s ab
sence from home and then rebuilding
it to cook the dinner.
I once saw a child of 10 m a room
strewed with shavings and ashes try
to make a fire by placing the coal on
the bottom of the grate and lighting
from the top the kindling and paper
that were laid over it. In families
that were receiving coal given in
charity I have repeatedly seen red-
hot stoves packed full of coal, the
drafts all open and the heat going up
the chimney. The doing away witn
the heat of a stove in the living room
dnrinor the summer months is no
small contribution to the health and
cood temper of the inmates. Lucia

About Mutual Agreement.
There is a common agreement in
the inviolability of mutual engage
ments, but there seems to be a pecu
liar breach of honor when two people
have agreed to die together in one
failing to keep his appointment. This
not infrequently happens, and it has
been remarked, as m the case of Mrs.
Brundage and Mr. Clute, that it is
the man who manages to keep his
footing in this world. The question
bas arisen if on the man's part this
is prompted in the spirit in which a
man tells a woman he is going to the
lodge, or to a neighboring town, or
j wheter failure tomeet her orac.
company her is due to lack of cour
age. This seems not only the most
-plausible but the most creditable
answer.
It is not human to run to embrace
death, but circumstances may make
it a familiar presence. Every wom
an who has filled her allotted place
in life has had at times to look death
deliberately in the face. Familiarity
with any situation divests it of its
terrors. This is the reason why wom
en meet death with more composure
than do men. -This by no means ex
cuses men from fulfilling such en
gagements as that of Mrs. Brundage
and Mr. Clute, in which the honor is
especially involved, but it explains
the defection of Mr. Clute and men
of his kind. Exchange.
Pipe Smokers' Paradise.
In Washington a man may place
his good old brier pipe in his shapely
mouth and walk around town smok
ing according to the dictates of his
own conscience, none daring to make
him afraid. It is not so in all parts
of the country. There are places
where such conduct would bring him
under police surveillance and cause
him to be ostracized by society.
There has long been a deep rooted
prejudice against the pipe. A man
might appear in public smoking a
cigar that would cause horses to
Bwoon three blocks away and nobody
would say anything, but if he smoked
a pipe on the streets his social doom
was sealed. Reason, however, has
resumed her majestic sway, leveled
the barriers of superstition and con
quered the armed hosts of prejudice,
and as a result the man who smokes
is happy. Washington News.
A Conditional Marriage Fee.

make a display before the stranger
in crossing one of the numerous wa
ter courses with which the city is in
tersected, missed his footing, and in
trying to-eave himself lost his hat.
The exhibition was truly unfortu
natethe spectators laughed and
looked at the Englishman, expecting
to see him laugh too. On the con
trary, he not only retained his com
posure, but promptly advanced to
where the hat had rolled, and taking
it up presented it with an air of un
affected kindness to its confused
owner.
The officer received it with a blush
of surprise and gratitude and hur
ried to rejoin his company; there
was a murmur of applause, and the
stranger passed on. Though the
scene of a moment and without a
word spoken, it touched every heart,
not with admiration for a mere dis
play of politeness, but with a warm
er feeling for a proof of that true
charity "which never faileth."
On the regiment s being dismissed
the captain, who was a young man
of consideration, in glowing terms
related the circumstance to his colo
nel. The colonel immediately men
tioned it to the general in command.
and when the Englishman returned
to his hotel he found an aid-de-camp
waiting to request his company to
dinner at headquarters.
In the evening he was carried to
court, at that time, as Lord Chester
field tells us, the most brilliant court
in Europe.
Of course during his stay at Turin
he was invited everywhere, and on
his departure he was loaded with let
ters of introduction to the different
states of Italy. Philadelphia Times.
What a "Plush Cut" Means.

Men get up some perplexing ques

heard at a theater the other night.
Two gentlemen were back of me.
One said to the other:
"Just look around. You can't see
a plush cut anywhere. Flusncut?
What did he mean? I looked around
also. Evidently there were none in
sight. His friend said:
'That's so. You don't see them
much now. I presume they will
come back again soon. They come
in fads. One fellow who is popular
takes it up, and the others are sure to
follow suit." Curiosity had opened
my ears at nrst. Desperation was
B training them now.
"Yes, generally one bright fellow
leads the style for the swim, and the
fellows in other cliques take it up.
A year ago in any auditorium in the
city every fellow that pretends to

When Charles Mathews was in this
country, the rapidity of his speech
was a cause of much astonishment,
but there was no loss of distinctness
on that account. He was said to be
the most rapid talker and singer on
the stage. Sarah Bernhardt talks at
a furious speed sometimes, but every
speech that is to be spoken fast is
practiced again and again, a little
more quickly each time, in order to in
sure clearness or utterance.
