he has had little leisure to devjte !

There's never any use crying over
spilled milk, but it is well to profit by
past experience. Should The Dalles
again be selected as the place of hold
ing a district fair, it might be well to
think about the light exhibits both at
the pavilion and on the grounds, which
is because of the charge of 10 per cent
enterance fee. If all exhibits were
admitted free there would be doable
the amount, and probably three times
as many people in attendance.

one for robbing the engineer aud tir.
tuan. the eeuleuce was eighteen years
and four months. On tbe second for
holding up the train, it was twelve
years and three mouths, the object ol
the court being to give tbe robbers
about twenty years' actual ser

the men remaining in twenty years
and getting ten years' credit marks.
District Attorney Lord, in the open
ing asKed the court to impose the ex

said these men, in tbe carrying out ol
their plot, would not have hesitated to
take life. All circumstances pointed
t j that fact. They had been given a
hearing. One had admitted his guilt,
and the second had been convicted up
on a fair trial.
When asked if he had anything to
say, Jackson arose and aeliberatel
resting bis hand on the table, said to
the judge that it was a hopeless .case

CHINESE JEWELERS.
All of the Work Is Done by Hand Some
of it la Beautiful.
There are two jewelers in Chinatown,
tint their establishments do not re
semble the ordinary places known as
jewelry shops, says the New York
Times. The Chinese jeweler is a man-
iifftctnrer as well as a shopkeeper. His
establishment is a tiny room up one
or two llights of stairs. The room in
one place is divided by an openwork
iron partition, with an arch and a coun
ter near the window, whera ILe jeweler
stands at work. He is an elderly China
man, wearing glasses, and he works
over a tiny fire in the window. All his
Mork is done by hand, and some of it is
beautiful. There are heavy silver
bracelets which open with a hinge
and fasten with an odd little, staple.
The fine raised pattern is cut out, every
bit of it, b.7 hand. There are gold rings
made in the same w ay. There are fine
rings, made of 24-carat gold. Almost;
nothing is kept in stock. There may
chance to be a few rings and bracelets,
which are taken from a small safe.
Most of the goods are made to order.
When the manufacturer is asked the
price of a ri-ng he weighs it before he.
anewers. His scales consist of a slen
der stick of ivory, perhaps a third of a
yard long, covered with Chinese char
acters. At one end is a small brass plate
suspended from the stick by fine
threads and a very small weight, also
hanging by a thread, is moved along to
the balancing point by the jeweler as
he holds the little machine in his hand.
The front part of the little shop is filled
with a stove, table, dishpnn, dishes
as many things as can well be crowded

IN INSTRUMENTS.
Irish Harps to Be the Tocoe
This Season
There is a fashion, in musical instru
ments so far as the English young wom
an is concerned which compels changes
as sudden and sweeping es those whicii
take place in. regard to the same young
women s bonnets and hats. Of cours;
all of them who have pretensions to be
ing considered what is vaguely termed
musical reckon among their accom
plishments the ability to play the
piano, and they do not disdain to de
vote the surplus of their musical ability
to instruments of a more portable kind.
For a time it was the banjo, then the
mandolin, then, taking a flight upward,
the violin itself was degraded into the
position of a "fashionable" instrument,
dividing its claims with the violoncello.
We are said to be now on the eve of
another change. According to Music,
the instrument which is to be in vogue
this winter is the Irish harp, which
many young women belonging to the
very smartest society are said to be al
ready industriously practicing. It is
not the large and rather unwieldy thing
we are wont to see in. the street orches
tras, but a beautifully finished and dec
orated little instrument, some 30 inch
es in height, and about the weight of a
banjo, it ;s, m fact, the article which
the minstrel boy slung behind him
when, with his father's sword girded
oh, he set forth on that bellicose expe
dition of which the ballads tell us.
The tone of the Irisli harp is said.to be
particularly sweet, though a little thia.
