ITEMS IN BRIEF.
From Friday Daily.
J. Bright, of Wasco, is in
Of
From WftdnMdiv'a Dal V.
-- County Commissioner Blowers,
Hood River, is in the city.
" License to marry was issued today
to Henry Frock and Miss Anetta A
Hembree.
The sturgeon fishermen are not do
ing very well so far this season, the
catch being unusually light.
; Mrs. Harry Hogue, who has been
visiting Mr: and Mrs. Scnencic, re
turned to Portland this morning.
Seth Morgan was a passenger on the
Regulator this morning.- We heard
. him remark 16 to 1 as he stepped down
the gang plank.
' The case of the State against Bullock
was dismissed by Justice Davis yester
dvy on account of the complaining
witness failing to appear.
' Whether due to the increased pas
senger rates or something else, the
travel on the Regulator has largely in
creased since the new rates went into
effect on the O. R. & N.
' B. S. Pague, the weather observer,
has kindly consented to continue the
present beautiful days, and has ordered
the same kind of weather and station
ary temperature for tomorrow.
Mr. Herrick expects to have all his
salmon labeled and in cases by tomor-
. row night. The . Wingate building
. where the work is being done presents
: a busy appearance, the entire crew era'
ployed at the cannery being at work.
: Mr. L. McMorris, of Walla Walla,
is in the city for a brief visit. Mr.
McMorris was at one time a resident
of The Dalles, way back in the early
60's when Col. Sinnott hunted Indians
before breakfast and ran a ferry across
the Columbia by salmon power.
r ranK Malone, of Antelope, was
thrown from his wagon night beiore
last while on his way to this city, and
his collar-bone was broken. The acci
dent was caused by the wheels striking
a rock, or dropping into a chuck-hole,
He arrived here yesterday evening,
and-his injuries were attended to by
Dr. Hollister.
Reports from Vancouver this morn
ing are to the effect that heavy forest
fires are raging in several portions of
t he county. We refer to it here more
because it affirms what we have said
concerning forest fires, that is, that
there are dozens of them where there
' are no sheep to one where, the sheep
. are. The fires in Clark county started
from clrearings, not from sheep
camps, because there are no sheep
running in the woods there.
The horse, Picnic, that ran in the
' races here is the hoi-se that belonged
- to charley Bird of Vancouver, and that
was sold for a shoer's lien in Portland,
unknown to his owner some time
since. The horse was taken below on
the D. P. & A. N. line Monday, and
' Bird sued out a writ of replevin and
the sheriff took charge of the horse at
Vancouver. There promises to be a
pretty law suit grow out of the matter,
. which Bird should win, as he was sim
ply robbed out of his property. '
Heretofore The Dalles has contri
buted generously towards keeping the
road to the ferry in Klickitat county,
in good repair. It has done this be
: cause it . was benefited by the trade
coming here. At the same time it
seems but just that Klickitat county
should do something towards the work,
'as the benefits are mutual: her citizens
getting the benefit of better prices for
their grain. Complaint Is made that
the road is in a bad condition now,
which is the reason of this suggestion.
Hon. C,
the city.
Miss Mary Cox went to Portland
this afternoon.
Quite a drove of hogs came over
from Klickitat, this morning.
Mr. C. A. Graves, of Prineville, is
In the city visiting his brother-in-law,
J. F. Moore.
J. W. Pelton, S. S. Stearns and Geo.
Luckey, Crook county cattlemen, are
in the city today.
T. Clay Neece, of Sherman county,
has been in the city for a day or so,
but left for home today.
The Baptist convention is in Bession
here and is having a very harmonious
and interesting meeting.
Mr. I. B. Bowen, editor of the Baker
City Democrat, was married to Miss
Mary E. Burke Wednesday afternoon.
District Attorney Jayne is In the
city, and in company with Judge Brad-
shaw will leave for Prineville tomor
row morning.
Hon. O. N. Denny, who has been in
Walla Walla looking after some
lecal business, accompanied Senator
Mitchell on his trip down today.
A dispatch from San Francisco to
the Oregonian this morning announces
that Mollie Coe is still alive, with
about one chance in ten of recovering,
There was quite a crowd at the local
train this afternoon when it pulled out
for Portland. It was composed of
friends of Senator Mitchell on band to
bid him good bye.
Judge Blakelv arrived homo last
night from Portland, where he had
been attending the annual meeting of
the Pharmaceutical Society. The
next meeting will be held here, the
vote being unanimous for it.
Few people realize the vasf number
of cattle and sheep shipped from
Eastern Oregon and Washington
every year. Talking to some promi
nent stock buyers this morning, we
were astonished at the 'figures they
gave, from Jroolr, wa9co, trinam
and Morrow, they say 200,000 head of
sheep are shipped annually and from
the same territory at least 20,000 head
of cattle.
A gentleman who has just arrived in
the city by w.agon, suggests that if our
merchants, who place their advertise
ments on Rocks and fences, would
place an arrow indicating the road to
The Dalles allong side of their ads,
they would secure a double purpose,
that of indicating to the traveler how
to reach the city, and also where he
can buy goods cheapest when he ar
rives here, it wouia also save tne
county the expense of putting up sign
boards.
PYTHIAN STATISTICS.
A New Law for the Governing of Oregon
Knights.
From the mass of interesting matter
relating to the Knights of Pythias
grand lodge, which convened at Salem
last week, are taken the following
facts-:
The report of G. F. McConnell,
grand keeper of records and seal,
showed the membership to be 3387, an
increase of over 100 within the year,
The membership is divided as follows:
Past grand chancellors 12, past chan
cellors 575, knights 2761, esquires 16,
pages 23. The total assets of the order
are $56,412.16, of which there is
799.25 in cash, paraphernalia and prop,
erty valued at $28,621.91. The lodges
instituted the past year are: Delpei,
No. 64, of Bandon; Luna, No. 65. of
Prineville: Endymion, No. 66, of
Condon: Honor, No. 67, Lone Rock.
The loss by death during the year has
been three past chancellors and 13
knights. Number suspended 481,
withdrawals by card 144. The am
ount distributed for sick benefits has
been $8655.77, for funerals $1883.22, for
other relief $1208; total relief expendi
tures $11,746.99.
The reading and adoption of the new
constitution and statute, covering 110
pages of closely written matter re
quired many hours and as a result this
order has a very complete system of
law for its government.. One of its
new features is the creation of a grand
tribunal to which all matters of im
portanco can be appealed for final
adjudication. This consists of three
tribunes H. M. Cake, C. H. McCul
loch, of Portland, and Jefferson
Myers of Salem, having been the
choice of tho lodge, the first named
being chief tribune. The tribunal
must hold at least one sitting annually.
Their term of service shall bo ono,
two and three years, respectively, and
should a vacancy occur during the
recess of the grand lodge the same
shall be filled by the grand chancellor
appointing a past chancellor in good
standing, and who shall hold office
until the next meeting of the grand
lodge. The judgement and decree
of the grand tribune shall be
binding upon all parties thereto.
Pleadings, hearings and trials shall
be governed by the rules and pro
cedure of the Oregon supreme "court.
Mays. What a mine, innocent of
stope or winze, in which a reporter
might dig up untold wealth of story
and reminiscence of rides by day
and night across the bunch grass
ranges, of wild stampedes, of struggle
with snow, and storm and cold, of loss
and gain, runs in a rich pay streak
through the upper levels of Ben Snipes.
Truly, could we but draw out all that
material, our labors would be easy.

night before last and robbed. The
burglars blew the safe open, securing
about $600 for thir labors. The work
was that of experts, and so far no clue
as to their identity has been obtained.
. . The weather bureau ordered rain for
Portland yesterday, but there was no
more stock in hand. It will not be
long though, until the order is filled,
and we may expect a ' little dampness
up this way. Rain is needed to start
the grass, lay the dust, soften the
ground for the plowman, clear the
atmosphere, improve the roads, make
an item, and fill a long felt want.
The Moro Observer says that from
the amount of wheat being put into
the ground this fall the crop next year
will be larger than that of '94. As
Sherman county raised that year about
2,000,000 bushels, our neighbors must
be getting in their ground In good
shape. Sherman county, however, can
raise double that amount of wheat if
the distance from the railtoad of part
of the county did not prevent it being
profitable to do so.
"The devil always finds work for idle
hands to do," said Mrs. Perkins to her

a basket of chips and then pull the
weeds out of the flower bed." And as
A Picnic Bare.
Charley Bird's horse Picnic, of
which we spoke Wednesday is surely
properly named. Sometime since
Bird loaned the horse to parties at
Portland to train and race him. A
blacksmiths bill for shoeing Picnic"
not being paid he was sold under the
beneficcent law passed by the Oregon
legislature last winter between votes
for senator. Bird of course, . knew
nothing about this, Until he went
after his horse when he learned that
he had been sold for bis shoeing bill.
Picnic came here and was entered in
several races, at the fair. Monday he
was taken Tjelow, and. Bird bearing of
it sued out a writ of replevin in Clark
County Washington, and. Sheriff
Miller served the same by taking the
horse from the steamer Dalles City,
but not until the boat was at Portland.
This did not prove satisfactory to the
present owners of the horse, and the
matter was taken before the grand
jury, resulting in the indictment of
Sheriff Miller for stealing a horse.
Picnic is now in Vancouver and has
certainly been the cause of a genuine
legal picnic. '
Paid the Penalty.
The Oregonian Thursday contained-a
half column dispatch concerning
Mollie Coe, formerly of Hood River,
but at this writing probably gone
over the great "Beyond." Mollie was
a bright and beautiful girl, the daugh
ter of Captain Henry Coe, She was
well educated, a fine musician, and
was surrounded by every comfort that
indulgentoparents could provide. She
was of a wayward disposition, impa
tient of restraint," and heedless of
advice. Poor girl I The wheels of the
great world ground her down and
crushed her. She went as hundreds of
thousands of girls have gone before
her, as other thousands will yet go,
More sinned against than sinning, she
has paid the penalty and over her
memory let the mantle of charity as a
curtain shut out. all that was sinful.
Shot In the Leg.
Harold Staniels received a painful
but not dangerous wound Wednesday
afternoon, about 4 o'clock, while work
ing at the slaughter house for Mr. Kel
ler. He and Sam Brown were getting
ready to kill some hogs, a 38-calibre
Smith & Wesson revolver being used
for the purpose. Brown put the cart
ridges in the chambers, and holding
the pistol in his left hand snapped the
barrel into place. As he did so, the
pistol being left uncocked, the needle
which explodes the cartridges caught
on one of them, discharging it," The
ball struck Staniels in the leg, halfway
between the hip and knee, but fortu
nately did not strike the bone. Dr,
Doane attended to the wounded boy's
injuries, and in a week or two he will
be entirely recovered.
Columbia River Jetty Completed.
Lieutenant Taylor, United States
engineers, who has charge of the of
fices of Major Post and Captain Sy
mons, has all the business in his hands
he can comfortably attend to. He has,
within the past few days, been oyer to
Everett to inspect the dike there,
which is practically completed, and up
to Wenatcbec, to arrange for closing
the work of improvement there for the
season; and also to the Cascade Locks,
to see how the work is progresssing
there. The last bargeloads of rock
for the great jetty at the mouth of the
Columbia went down Tuesday night,
and the rock was placed on the jetty
Wednesday, completing it. A large
number of men who have been em
ployed there will now be out of work.
New Train, New Fare.
Commencing Monday, Oct, 21, the
Southern Pacific will give a special
passenger rate from Portland to San
Francisco on a new train to be put on
and known as the Shasta Limited.
The new feature of the train will be
that the fare includes Pullman and
tourist sleepers, the former selling for
$20, the latter $10. The run will be
made in 24 hours.
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
World'! Pair Highest Medal and Diploma.
How They Are to be Furnished Under the
New Law,
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion Irwin, has issued circular letter
No. 7 in regard to the adoption of the
new series of .text books adopted for
use in this state for the term of six
years, beginning October 1, 1895. The
circular- says that any failure on
the part of publishers to make suitable
arrangements for supplying text-books
at the depositories or places of sale
should be reported to' the office of the
state superintendent. It is expected
that the several publishers of the va
rious text-books shall make suitable
arrangements for a supply of text
books published by them at the sub
depositories, and to strictly- maintain
the " adopted and specified prices
I thereof.
It is also specifically required that
the publishers shall post in every
school building in the state a printed
list of their books, giving the ex- j
change, introductory and retail prices
of their books.
In the exchange of "books -It is ex
pected that any and ' all books for
which exchange may be made must be
received, if the old books are in any
wise fit' to be used in the school,
should the same text-books be the
ones adopted for use. Dealers must
not require that the book offered in
exchange In in good condition, . If in
condition for use at all it must be ac
cepted. Circular No, 8 has also been issued
by Superintendent Irwin, in which
one more book is added to the series
of school text books recently adopted.
The reason assigned. Is that Reed's
Word Lessons was adopted as the
speller and that this work is of such
advanced grade that a more elemen
tary book is needed. By promulga
tion of the superintendent, Watson's
speller fills the want, and is added to
the list of school text-books of Oregon

Indians are still in the mountains.
The fruit vender is still to be seen

He disposed of quite a large bill of

We are greatly in need of rain
The small amount of grain planted
has stopped its growth waiting for re
freshing showers. Between the

in the spring there is small chance of
a crop.
Nugen Kautz was called to Tacoma
on account of the death of his father,
Geo. Kautz, which occurred at Seattle
about a month ago. Fredda Holli

teacher in the school quite acceptably
during his absence.
Many Indians are made haopy now
by the new wagons which they have
bought and paid for by hauling fretght,
The opportunity of obtaining a wagon
is a rare one, as the Indian is given
the use of the wagon, and two loads
from The Dalles pays for it and leaves
them a neat little balance.
(Jorum & Davis at vvapanitia, are
said to have had a mutual misunder
standing which resulted in an inter

for the good of the community in
general. K.
Understands the Situation as to the Cas
cade Reservation.
Senator Mitchell arrived yester
day froin Pendleton 'and le'ft on the
local for Portland. He was busily en
gaged most of the time in shaking
hands with friends, and while thrynim
ber was large it was only a very .email
percentage of the friends he has here.
In a brief conversation with our re
porter, the senator, expressed himself
forcibly concerning the Cascade For
rest Reserve. He called attention to
the ruling of the secretary last spring
secured by him, which permitted the
flocks to be pastured on the reserva-1
tion. The senator thinks there should
be a small reservation around Mt.
Hood, another around Crater lake, and
that , the balance of the reservation
should be thrown open. He will turn
his attention to securing the right of
pasturage", on the reservation and
those who know his record as to ac
complishing his ends, will rest assured
that he will succeed. Ho is confident
a liberal appropriation will be made for
the boat railway, and thinks the work
of construction will be done under the
contract system. Incidentally we
might mention that the senator is is in
favor of annexing the Sandwich
Islands, of recognizing the Cuban
government, building the Nicaraguan
canal, and the reclamation of the
desert lands. '

ENUINEER HAZEL HURT.
Breaks a Leg; by Falling; From the Tres
tle Across Mill Creek.
Engineer James Hazel met with a
serious accident yesterday, tho full
eant of which cannot yet be known.
One of the locomotives had something
the matter with it, and Hazel went
with some others to see what the
trouble was. The engine was stand
ing on the trestle leading to tho shops,
and just this side of Mill creek. In
walking around the engine Hazel
caught his toe on a piece of wire or a
spike and fell over the edge of the
trestle to the ground, a distance of 30
feet. He was soon reached by those
who saw him fall, and was carried to
Dr. Doane's office that his injuries
might be attended to. Assisted by Dr.
Logan, Dr. Doane made an examina
tion which disclosed the fact that the
left leg was broken, the fracture run
ning into the. ankle joint, and his
right breast was badly bruised. The
fracture was reduced and the injured
man made as comfortable as possible.
He was taken to the hospital at Port
land in the afternoon. It is hoped that
he has no serious internal injuries,
though he complains of his breast
hurting him. At the best he will have
a tedious siege of' it before . he is able
to report for duty.
The Shop Pump.
In mentioning the fire yesterday we
neglected to state that the big pump
at the O. R. & N. shops was brought
into requisition and furnished a strong
stream of water. Four sections of
hose were burst when the pump first
started, and that seems to be the only
trouble with the O. R, & N. water
plant, it is so strong that average hose
won't stand the pressure. It adds
greatly to the protection against fire,
in all that section of the city within
its reach, and the company has always
generously placed it at-the disposal of
the fire department when needed. -
Our Frugal Secretary.
The Salem Statesman, thus describes
the work shop of our horney-handed
and over worked secretary of state.
Secretary of State Kincaid is now
most handsomely, and conveniently
domiciled so . . far as offices are
concerned. His own work room
and semi-privato offlee is in the north
east corner of the building back of the
senate chamber. This has just been
finished by the painters and is done in
the highest style of the art, the shades
being blended to perfection and pro
ducing a rich, magnificent effect.
The carpot is in harmony with the
colors of the walls and is very hand
some. I he furniture, easy chairs
aud lounge are of fine solid
oak, heavily upholstered and
covered with alligator, leather. A
solid oak desk, conveniently arranged,
completes the furnishings of the room
in which Mr. Kincaid will work and
receive his callers, and west . of this
room is one somewhat similar, except
in furniture, in which his confidedtial
clerk, C. M. Lockwood, will hold his
office. Each will be lighted by a beau
tiful electrolier and gasolier combined,
two-of which- Mr. Kincaid succeeded in
obtaining at a bargain. : The rooms
are very pretty, indeed, and will be
much admired by visitors to the state
house."

. A STUBBORN FIBE.
.The Grant Building Is Damaged to the
Extent of 82500.
The alarm of fire at 12:15 Wednes
day, was caused by a blaze in the up
per story of the Grant building on the
corner of First and Washington
streets. The building, a 2-story brick,
is owned by WiUiam Grant, and the
lower floor contains the offices of the
Johns Mill Co:, besides being used to
store shingles, dressed lumber, sash
and doors and other stock. The upper
floor was unoccupied, and was being
calcimlned. It is claimed the fire
started from the coal oil stove used by
the calciminers, which was left burn
ing while they went to dinner. The-
flre department responded promptly
and soon seven streams of water were
being sent through the windows, but
in spite of these the fire was obstinate
and though kept smothered refused to
let go until fully an hour after it
started. The roof is . burned off and
damages to the interior will run the
total up to $i")00, to which should be
added $600 for damages to stock and
personal property. There was no in
surance on any of the property.
The fire Wednesday demonstrated the
abundance of our water supply and its
availability; it also demonstrated the
necessity of a chemical engine. Had
the fire occurred in a dry goods store,
no master how quickly U had been
controlled immense damage would
necessarily have followed from the use
pf the water.

In front of the Snipes-Kinersly Drug

gray headed gentleman chatting to-r

each in developing its resources, and
mapping its future. We envied them
as they stood there unconscious of the
thoughts they had awakened in the
mind of ft weary reporter, for we reali
zed what a picnic we would have In
making a newspaper, an interesting,
regular-long-felt want-flller of a news
paper, if we had the fund of informa
tion concerning Eastern Oregon's
earlier history that each of them pos
sessed. What stories of mining days,
of steamboat experiences, and of prim
itive politics, lie unresurrected be
neath the silvery hair of Governor
Moody, What a history of early days,
of pioneer struggles and privations,
of things serious and ludicrous lie un

Saved His UU
a fortunate dis
covery in the nick of
time. Hundreds of
Fersona suffering
rom consumption
have had the pro
gress of the disease
stopped, and have
been brought back to
life and health by the
"Golden Medica
Discovery " of Dr.
Pierce,
V. Pierce, now chief
consulting physician ta the Invalids' Hotel
ana burgical Institute of Uuttalo, N. V.,
recognizing the fact that consumption wa
essentially a germ disease, and that a rem
edy which would drive the germs and their
poisons from the blood would cure consump
tion, at last found a medicine which cured 9S
per cent, of all cases, if taken in the earlier
stages of the disease.
The tissues of the lungs being Irritated by
the germs and poisons in the blood cireulat-.
in through them, the germs find lodtnneni
there, and the lunjs begin to break down.
Soon the general health begins to ul, and
the person feels languid, weak, feint, drowsy
and confnsed.
This is the time to take Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery; it drives the germs
and poisons from che blood, and has a sooth
ing effect upon the dry cough. In cases of
bronchitis the "Discovery" is invaluable.
"Golden Medical Discovery" increases the
amount and quality of the blood, thus invig
orating and fortifying the system against dis
ease and builds no wholesome flesh and
strength alter wasting diseases, as fevers
pneumonia, grip and other debilitating af

The manufacture of distilled spirits,
locally known as hoochinoo, has been
carried on by the natives of Alaska for
a long- period, and at times during the
early days of the Cassier excitement it
was freely purchased by the white min
ers as the only-liquor obtainable, owing
to the strict enforcement of the prohibi
tory elause against the importation of
liquors into the territory, says the
Alaska Mining Record. Hoochinoo is
nothing more or less than raw alcohol,
being distilled mainly from brown su-1
gar or molasses and corn meal. Undi
luted the stuff has a double proof
strength, makes '-drunk come" freely
and but a few - swallows of it will set a
man howling iu demoniac elec. and
nothing but an Indian, with his copper
lined stomach, can stand a protracted
spree on it.
The Kako Indians probably lead all
others in the manufacture of these
spirits and as proof of their knowledge
of the art of making a double proof
article, we give the particulars of the
awful fate of an expert Kako distiller
which happened recently on that island.
It seems that this Indian, while en
gaged in the manipulation of his little
coal oil can still, imbibed too freely of
its trickling and in a drunken stupor
lay down by his fire of cedar logs and
fell asleep, with his face uncomforta
bly near the fire and his breath fan
ning the flames. Through some reason
known ouly to the medical fraternity
gas accumulated, in the stomach and
the breath of the sleeper reaching the
flames the alcohol pas ignited. The
sleeper suddenly leaped to -his feet
with a terrifyiDg scream and fell back
writhing in agony. The man was burn
ing internally. Smoke and even flames
were issuing from his" monttf and his
agony.was something awful. His loud
screeches bronsrht the members of th
camp about him, who looked on in
silent, terror-stricken awe, unable to
do anything for his relief. The com
bustion continued until the Indian was
literally consumed inside and for some
time after the spirit of life had fled.

It Mistaken the Bird' l.s tar Sapling
and Pays Dearly far IU Folly
The ostrich at the Philadelphia Zoo
logical garden stood in the long yard
adioininsr its caa-e in the dfierhnns t.h
other. iday. It gazed contemplatively
through the bars of the fence at the
world beyond, and shivered once in
awhile as the cool breezes swept down
upon it. A playful kitten came through
the fence into the yard. The kitten
went running along the yard until it
came to the ostrich. Thinking its
long, thick legs were young saplings,
the playful kitten gave a run and
quickly climbed up them, and -was soon
on top of the Ootrieh's back. Tho huge
bird did not know what to make of it
at first, and went cantering around the
yard as though the plague were after it.
Round and round it went until, red in
the face, it came to a sudden stop. The
kitten never moved. It had taken a
firm hold of the ostrich's feathers, and
did not propose to be shaken. Finding
that the strange beast refused to be
thus disposed of, the ostrich became
less scared and more angry. It curled
its neck and twisted its head so as to
get a fair look at the kitten. The . kit
ten never winced. It bogan to think it
had barked up the wrong tree, but it
was determined to 6ee the matter out.
The ostrich aimed a blow at the rider,:
hut the cat dodged, it tried again, but
the result was the same. Again and
again the agiie head and long neck
rained" sledge-hammer blows at the
tricky little kitten. It escaped them all,
though some came rather too near for
comfort. Finally the kitten got scared.
It ran out on the ostrich's neck to crct
out of the wav. The ostrich could not
hit it there. With a suddan movement.
however, the ostrich stretched its neck
backward, encircled the kitten around
the waist, and squeezed it until it. was
dead. Then it unwound itself and
placidly looked at the dead animal.
After a moment or two of contempla
tion it picked up its victim and flung it
as far as it could.
MISTOOK THE OFFICE.
Seeking an Employment Agency, the Lady
Etnmbled Into a Matrimony Shop.
There is a funny story current in
the English papers about a certain
elderly Irish peeress well known in
London society ' She was in search of
a new manservant ana heard oi a reg
istry ofilco in a certain square on the
confines of Bloomsbury. Thither she
drove in much state, and on arriving at
the square in question her footman
asked a policeman -where was the
''agency." A man in blue majestically
waved the equipage to a certain house.
Her ladyship was admitted. "I have
come about a young man, she re
marked to the bland proprietor. "Yes,
madam; I quite understand, was the
reply, "lie must be sober and honest
and used to good families." "Oh, yos,
madam; I think we have the very thing
on our books. Would you like to see
his photograph?" "His photograph!"
cried Lady . "I suppose the man's
straight?" "Oh, yes, madam; a very
fine man; a fortune is no object, I im
agine?" This last with a movement of
the hand toward the carriage with its
pawing horses, that could be seen
through the window. "A fortune with
my footman?" literally shouted the
Irish lady.- :Then the proprietor ex
plained that his was a matrimonial
agency and that the registry office was.
on the other side of the square.
