. Tim Murphy in "Old Innocence"
last night drew the usual house. He
was exceedingly clever, and from tbe
time the curtain raised until it fell

call was indeed a masterpiece and
brought forth much applause. In the
after piece, "Sir Henry Hypnotized"
Mr. Murphy showed great talent, in
impersonating many of the famous
actors. Those who did not see him
surely missed a treat, and one we pre
dict that will not return soon.
OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAY.
A Celebration Would Be the Proper Thing:
ThU Year.
It has been several years since The
Dalles has celebrated the nation's
birthday with any demonstration ex
cept the display of flags and discharge
of firecrackers. But the present year
is especially an appropriate one in
which the people may show their
patriotism and love of country. While
the nation is involved in war with a
foreiern power is a time when the
blood of the true patriot courses freely
through the veins, and when he would
give vent to his love of freedom and
country. It is a time when the citizen
loves his country more than at any
other, and when he would especially
desire to celebrat? the anniversary of
the day on which American Independ
ence was proclaimed.
Then why should not The Dalles
celebrate our national holiday? Why
should not The Dalles have a regular
old-fashioned Fourth of July celebra
tion? Tbe reading of the grand old
Declaration of Independence, patriotic
speeches and songs, tog ther with a
grand feast and general reunion of tbe
people of the surrounding country.
If we are to have a celebration, it is
none too early to begin making prep
arations, and we would suggest that
the Commercial Club, which is to take
the lead in everything of a beneficial
nature to The Dalles and its people,
take hold of the matter at once, and
go at it with a determination to cele
brate our national birthday as it was
never celebrated before.
COMPANY O LEAVES.
A Thousand People Torn Out Many Pa'
thotic Partings Will Go In Camp
at Invlngton Park.
This morning at 6 o'clock company
G assembled at the armory, and after
a short drill marched to the depot, and
were in readiness when the 6:55 train
arrived. There was an immense crowd
of men, women and children at the de
pot to bid farewell to the boys in blue.
A conservative estimate of tne num
ber of people who turned out to wit
ness the leaving is at least a thousand.
Father, mother, sisters, brothers,
sweethearts and friends were there,
and to say the least, in some instances
there were some very pathetic partings.
There were fifty-eight members of
the company left in the private coach,
and will go in camp today at Irvington
park, near Portland.
When the train pulled out, the
cheers were deafening, and whistles
were blown and everything done to
give company G a good send off, and
make them feel that their service was
appreciated.
As a parting, we will add the senti
ment of the country, "Remember the
Maine." We wish our boys much suc
cess, should thny be called upon for
field service, and a safe return to their
homes, and we assure them our
thoughts and prayers will be with
them.

DENIED A NEW TRIAL.
Judge Bellingnr Refuses Seufert Bros.
Another Trial.
In the case of the United States vs.
Seufert Bros., which is really a con
solidation of two cases in the nature
of proceedings condemnatory for the
right of way through the premises of
the defendants' above The. Dalles, for
the purposes of a boat railway, Judge
Bellinger has denied the motion for a
new trial.
There have been three trials of the
issues involved in this case. The do
fendants claimed damages in the sum
of $152,200. The juty that sat upon
the first case awarded damages in the
sum of $95,047.50. This verdict was
rendered July 10, 1896. The second
jury, which returned its verdict De
cember 9, 1896, returned a verdict in
the sum of $35,000, and the third jury,
which returned its verdict February
1, of this year, awarded damages in
the sum of $9000.
From the verdict of the last jury the
defendants appealed, asking for a new
trial, upon the ground of insufficiency
of damages. The motion was argued
at great length and submitted some
weeks ago.
The decision of the court denying
the motion, necessitates the filing of
an application for an appeal to the cir
cuit court of appeals, unless the de
fendants are willing to accept $9000.
the situation. Even those who can
not sympathize with their object can
appreciate grim humor:
Lord help us in the holy task
Of blowing out the Spaniards' brains.
Give us the strength, we humbly ask.
To draw the life-blood from their veins.
. Their sunny islands may we take.
- Their sea-coast cities shell and burn;
Sad orphans ot their children make.
Their wives to lonely widows turn.
Guide, then, our ballets as they fly.
That they may mangle, maim, and kill,
And give us succor from on high.
To work Thy righteous, bloody will.

NO LANGUAGE NEEDED.
Instances V. hicli Seem to Sustain tns
- Contrntl ia of Certain Savants.
Thonc who contend we could get on
without a language may add another
story to prove their point, says the
Lcecis Mercury. Everybody knows that
in many cases it is not the words used
but the manner of speaking which
mokes the impression. Thus it was
that Daniel OH.'onnell was able to make
a market dime rajre and storm by call
injr her a hviiotlienuse triangle. Some
Swedish ambassadors having to present
an address to I.ouis XVI., which they
had forgoUcn. recited the whole ol
their catechism, acd that did just as
well. Prof. Druiumond tells us in his
"Tropical Africa lie was in a similar
fix, and got out of it in a similar way.
On one occasion four of his earners
rau away. There were three others of
the same tribe in the company, and
though the professor knew nothing of
their dialect, ue determined to teach
hem a lesson. Beginning with a few
general remarks on the heathen, he
briefly sketched the geology of Africa
and then I roke into an impassioned de
fense of the IJritisli constitution. Uhe
three tribesmen trembled like aspens.
He concluded his reprimand by solemn

Difficulty of a Countryman in Finding
Firm's Address.
A countryman drifted into one of the
Main street railway offices and said:
'The policeman outside thar told me
yuh had a direetion bock of the town
iu here." The busy but polite clerk
indicated the directory, and the coun
tryman stared. He opened it doubt
fully, says the Buffalo Commercial, and
turned a few pages. "Xams of every
body in town in here?" he ventured,
"(iuess so, pretty nearly," replied tho
clerk, smiling. "They may have
skipped an odd name here and there,
but the skips are few." The country
man, went back to his book r.i:il the
clerk to his work. After 13 or 20 min
utes the clerk saw the countryman was
still puzzling over the dirr rtory and
stepped over to where he Hf-jod. '"What
name are you looking for?" he asked.
"Roberts Brothers," answered the rus
tic. The clerk glanced at the place
where the countryman was looking and
nearly had a fit. The fellow bad start

JUDGMENT IU BOTH CASES.
Seufert Bros, to Get 89000 and I. H. Taffe
. 81000.
In the United States circuit court
this morning Judge Bellinger allowed
the U. S. district attorney to take
judgment on the verdict in the case of
the United States vs. Seufert Bros,
The verdict of the jury upon the third
trial of the case was $9,000, and as a
motion for a fourth trial was denied
there was nothing left for the defend
ants but to accept the award or appeal
to the United States circuit court of
appeals. , It is hardly probable that
the case will be carried to a higher
court. In this case the question in
volved is the assessment of value of a
strip of land owned by tbe defendants
at Tie Dalles, which the government
desires for the purpose of a boat rail
way.
In the case of the United States vr
I. H. Taffe, a sisailiar action, only in
volving the price of a strip of land at
Celilo, judgment was this morning
given the government upon the find
ings of the court. The court found
that the defendant was entitled to
$1,000, and as this is final, the defend
ant having entered into astipulation
to this effect, there is" no further ap
peal from this judgment. Telegram.

AN ENTERPRISING FIRM.
Seufert Bros. Will Operate a Fruit Can
nery This Season.
Seufert Bros., during the coming
season, intend putting a fruit canning
establishment in operation. This is
something that has long been needed
here, as we raise immense quantities
of all kinds of fruit, and of the best
quality.
We are glad to note this enterprise
and are sure if Seufert Bros, take hold
of it they will make it a success. Al)
should lend a helping hand, and in
every way try and make the venture a
success and a paying investment. By
so doing, we may be able to induce
others to invest capital in enterprises
that will build up our community and
advertise our products.
The Bono Was Ueut.
A case entirely new to medical sci
ence came under the observation of the
physicians at the Maryland university,
hospital recently. James Tnion was
the patient, and he was afflicted in a
most peculiar way. Tymon is employed
at the bakery of 1). V. Lord, and is l'j
years of age. While at work he aeei
dentally fell upon his right aim. Hi
felt an acute pain in the member cs i!
it had been fractured. The pain was
intense, and finally Tymcn's employ
ers sent him to the hospital, where he
was examined by the physicians ir.
charge. To their surprise they dis
covered that instead of being broker
the bone of the forearm was bent so as
to form almost a eircle, nnd was firm ii
that position. It was something tlia;
the physicians had not met with be
fore. It is supposed that the bone ha'
became softened in some way, either
through constitutional weakness or a
peculiar diet.
Dancing for Telephone,
A story comes from Vienna of danc
ing by telephone. The ball took
place in the Hungarian town of Temes-
var, preceded by a concert, the audience
listening at loud-speaking telephones
fixed against the wall ro;:nd the room
to a military band which wan playic.'
in Arad, to operatic selections p-;ven bt
artistes in the theaters at I.udapcst,
and to popular songs which were be'e-jf
given in Szegedin. Then the room was
cleared, and hundreds of young people
danced for hours to music played in
all these towns.

G A. H. Encampment.
The committee on decoration for the
G. A. R. annual encampment, to be
held here on May 17, IS and 19, re
quest that all business bouses and resi
dences decorate their premises liber

many hundred people from afar will
visit our city, and we appreciate their
coming.
There could never be a more oppor
tune time than at tho present, as our
country is at war with Spain and gain-
ng victories daily, our town profuse
with flowers and verdure, and spring
business beginning to bud. Let every
one try and make the re-union a suc
cess in every particular, and show to
the veterans that their cominsr and
visit to our city has been heralded and
prepared for to the utmost.

one leg were cut off and bis body
mangled. He was riding on tbe brakes,
beating his way east when in some
manner, which probably will never be
known, he lost his hold and was ground

London Professional Who Does
Believe In a Born" Nurse.
A woman who is a trained nurse, oc
cupying, after years of practice, a su
perior place in a London hospital, has
been giving a course of lectures on her
profession. Her first proposition at a
recent taik was that thore is no such
thing as a born nurse; the habit of ob
servation was a duty and the basis of
nursing, which was an art only learned
by practice.
Among some practical utterances of
the speaker were: "A sunny sickroom.
one that was entered by the sun once in
24 hours, is desirable; patients placed
on the south side in a hospital ward re
cover sooner, by ten days to a fort
night, than those on the north side.
Plenty of light is beneficial, except in
cases of brain disease. The less furni
ture in the room the better, and to keep
it clean a damp duster should be used
instead of a dry one. The air must be
kept as pure inside ns outside, and there
was little or no risk about having the
window open, top and bottom, if the pa
tient were well covered, head included,
and a good fire kept burning. Night
air is not injurious; it is purer in a city
after ten p. m. than at any other time.
The bed should never be in a corner, but
accessible from all points. In fever and
surgical cases, a 'cradle' had sometimes
to be used to keep off the weight of the
bedclothes; an impromptu cradle
could be made out of a bandbox, with
L the bottom knocked out. Bedmaking
was the grammar and keystone of nurs
ing; many regular nurses could not
make a good bed. It was important to
ict with decision when the time came for
any office, and not to worry the patient
by hesitation or talking of what was to
be done; to tread quietlv, but firmly;
not on tiptoe, and never to whisper to
a third person. Every effort ought to
be mide to secure for the patient two
hours sleep before midnight. Ama
teur nurses often broke down through
neglecting to take food when keeping
watch through the night. St. Louis

- The Czarina's Train.
Women who have suffered at the
hands of dilatory and inefficient dress
makers will learn with joy that royalty
itself cannot always command even its
coronation robes. For many months
the most skilled workers of embroidery
in the Russian convents were hard at
work embroidering in delicate gold and
silver on white satin the coronation
train of the czarina. As it was so enor
mously long it had to be worked in sep
arate pieces and sent to St. Petersburg
to be pieced together. Judge of the con
sternation of the court modistes when
the precious parcel was unwrapped. All
the beautiful silver threads had turned
black Not nihilists but corrosive acid
in the wrapping paper had caused the
calamity and the empress of all the Rua-
sias bad to be crowned in a comparative,
ly plain frock. Philadelphia Press.
