A GOOD TIME. "
About 1GOO Feople From Portland Spent
Yesterday in the City.
At 11:30 yesterday morning the first
section of the excursion from Port
land, given by the Minnehaha Asso
ciation, arrived, and stopped at the
Umatilla House to let the guests off
The second section arrived at noon
and went directly to the depot. This
was to scatter the people over the
town and not have them in one local
ity. It is estimated that between six
teen and seventeen hundred people
were here vesterday. Twenty coaches
were filled with the excursionists, and
from all appearances they surely must
have enjo-ed themselves.
The Academy park grounds had
been piepared for those who wished a
cool place where they might eat their
lunch.
During the day many walked around
and viewed the town, while others
were out in carriages, en horseback
and on bicycles.
AH seemed to be having a good
time, in fact, some of the younger
generation had most too good a time
for their own welfare and peace and
harmony. Thi9 was the only feature
to mar the day, but under existing
circumstances could cot be avoided.
.At 5:30 the first train started home
ward bound, and was followed 15 min
utes laterby the second section.
The excursion was a decided success
and all who visited our town left with
the best impression.
A HuSIK INDUSTRY.
New Steam Laundry to be (started in
the
Old City Mill.
In a few days a new industry will be
started in our city in the way of a first
class steam laundry. The best machin
ery that could be purchased will be
used and first-class work :an be guar
anteed. This is an enterprize that
should te patronized by everyone in
the city, as the people employed in
this work will be Dalies laborers and
the money paid out for it will b kept
at home.
Our people are anxious for home in
dustries and if they du no'- patronize
them when they get them, they cab
not expect such enterprises to spring
up in the city. The pay-roll for this
institution will be increased or dimin
ished according to the patronage se
cured, and we hope and trust that they
will receive a liberal support, as this
fact will aid in inducing other enter
prizes so locale at this point, and
thereby furnish employment to our
townspeople.

with; there is no much-noted reserve
fund; but there is neighborly love and
genuine fraternity enough among the
entire membership to insure the suc

CONSULTING THE CLOCK.
"I
Familiar Faces That Are Seldom Over
looked by New Yorker.
One of the popular habits of the peo
ple of this city is to consult the clock
' almost on every occasion when an op
portunity is presented. It matters lit
tle whether any- special need requires
that consultation or not, the clock will
thus be consulted. Especially is this
the case if a particular clock has the
reputation of being a good timekeeper.
So well is this known by many store
keepers that they will place clocks in
their stores so situated as to be easily
seen by persons who may be passing
along- the adjacent sidewalk. If the
clock bas a good reputation and the
pedestrian is fortunate enough to carry
a watch, a comparison is almost sure to
be made.
Many times a clock with a good repu
tation placed in the back part of a store
becomes a protection thereof, especially
at night, if near it is located a light
strong enough to illuminate its face end
! show the time. - A policeman told a
Mail and Express reporter the other
day that a good clock, thus situated, is
better than a private watchman for a
jewelry store, as every belated passer
by is likely to look through the store to
see what time it is, and would be al
most certain to notice anything un
usual in the appearance of the place. If
therefore becomes indirectly a silent
watchman guarding the premises
against the depredations of burglars,
and makes the pedestrians, as it were,
assistants in the work.
Church clocks bave always had a
large number of patrons in the work of
consultation, and nothing seems to be
so annoying as to find such a clock in'
active. When an event of this character
occurs, especially if the church is lo
cated on or near a busy thoroughfare,
the fact of the clock being stopped, or
that tome defect appears to exist, is
often made the subject of a notice in
the daily papers. Especially was this
the case when the steeple of old St.
Paul's was recently undergoing reno
vation, and it was a joy to many on
noticing that the newly gilded hands of
the clock were aain traveling' along
their accustomed circuit, and the deep
toned bell .was ready to strike the hour
oace more. N. Y. Mail and Express. ,
A
ADVERTISING IN MEXiCO.
r ha Natives of That Country Are Far B-
hind V In Their Ideas.
we have been under the impression
that the land of dark-eyed bidalgoes.
with their wide sombreros and short
jackets and gorgeous silver sashes, the
land of beautiful women with graceful
lace mantillas, swarthy skins and mid
night eyes, was making rapid progress,
but tliis opinion will have to be
amended, says Texas Sif tings.
It is true that the wealthier class
have discarded the briffht-hued serape
and adopted the nnpictnresque habili
ments of the gringo. It is also a fact
that in the City of Mexico the names
of the streets have been, changed from
the political, or intensely religious, to
nomenclature the most prosaic. For
example: "The Street of the Sad In
dian" and "Crown of Thorns street"
are now respectively "Fourth avenue
and "Diaz street"
These and other changes led us to
infer that Mexico was rapidly becom
ing "gringoized," but this delusion is
knocked endwise by the following
item:
A remarkable case is being tried in
the courts here. A short time ago a
small weekly newspaper by the name
of El Periquito published in its col
umns an advertisement of a business
bouse. Another firm in the business
Has sued the paper for damages, alleg
ing that they hi. ire suffered loss
through the publication of the adver
tisement of their nvaL The case is
attracting considerable attention, as it
is the first of its kind in Mexico."
In our own country the man who
does not advertise is regarded as a fit
subject for the undertaker or the luna
tic asylum.
It is strange that the Mexicans
should be so slow to recognize the ad
vantages of advertising. There is no
class of industrious citizens who can
not profit by advertising. For in
stance, a burglar overlooked eighty
dollars in a bureau drawer, and the lo
cal papers so announced. He returned
the next night and not only secured it
but an almost new suit of clothes be
sides.
