orderly. There was not a single ar
rest ' made and everyone conducted

mended. The 100 guns with which the people
of The Dalles were awakened yester
day morning were fired by O. L. Bar
rel!, who is an expert when it comes

The oration delivered by Hon. Wal
lace McCammant yesterday was one of

mant was secured as orator.
Two alarms were turned in last nigh1
about ten o'clock but did not amount
to much. The firat alarm was a small
blaze in the rear of the D.P.&A.N. Co.
office. The other was on the roof of
the Cosmopolitan and created a good
de al of excitement for a few miuutes.
Much of the success- of yesterday's
celebration was due to the splendid
music rendered by the three bands.
F. C. Hindle, leader of the Arlington
band, frot. Birgfeld at the head of
The Dalles banc, and Will Hinman,
manager of the Dufur band, certainly
deserve credit for the prompt response
they made to the calls for music.

one of the members of the Berkley
Concert and . Comedy Company who
will appear in the city tomorrow night
is billed to deliver a lecture before the

his native state of Califonia.
The only serious accident that re
sulted from the celebration yesterday
befell Mrs. Southwell, of Eight-Mile.

STRANGE COINCIDENCES.
Some Instances of the Efficacy of Obeying
Queer Orders.
The London Spectator lately had a
clever article entitled "The Tyranny of
Coincidence." The example shown is
of a lady who was driving outside of
Athens. When the horses were halted
one of the team refused his oats. The
Greek coachman insisted that the
horse was under a spell. The young
Euglish lady had an "evil eye." The
man told Miss Symonds to spit that
was the only cure. The young woman
was forced to go through the unlady
like performance, and at once the horse
took to his feed. "The coincidence
rivited the chains of superstition upon
the driver tighter than ever." Many
coincidences of a similar character
must occur to the reader. Here is a
case: A child was told to put a four
leaf clover in his left shoe, and was as
sured "that he would be sure to 2nd
something." The little boy did so, and
had hardly moved out of his tracks in a
large grass-grown pasture before he
found an old half-dollar of an ancient
date, evidently lost years before. The
child was not superstitious, and fortun
ately the parents were not. The matter
of coincidence was explained to him,
and among other things he was plenti
fully supplied with four-leaf clovers,
but he never found anything. The
origin of superstition associated with
amulets or any material objects must
owe its being to just such coincidences.
Among those who are not educated it
may be that the tyranny of coincidence
does exist, but it should not hold with
those having sound minds. We all
have, however, a dark chamber in our
brains, and it is there that the owls
and bats of superstition Aap their
wings.
RUN GREAT RISKS.
tjuormnee Companies Are Chary
About
Reinsuring; Delayed Ships.
Reinsuring risks on vessels long over
due and supposed to be lost is a game of
chance in which speculative marine un
derwriters have been indulging. One
of the vessels on which such big odds
have been taken, says the Philadelphia
Record, was the British bark Command
er, which sailed on April 11 from Chit
tagong, India, for the West Indies and
the Delaware break, a ter, and has been
given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo
were insured as ordinary risk at the
rates then current for vessels trading
on long voyages. After three months
had elapsed without the arrival of the
vessel the original insurers placed their
risks with other companies, paying
twenty guineas premium and escaping
the payment of a total loss. ' Those who
took the new risk became alarmed at
the continued absence of the vessel, and
to protect themselves they reinsured
the veBsel and cargo at forty guineas
premium. As the loss of the vessel now
appears to be beyond doubt those who
last took the risk will be called upon to
pay a total loss.
The British ship Munster sailed in
ballast from Bio Janeiro on May 10 for
Newcastle, N. S. W., and is believed to
have been lost off Cape Horn. She
is now being ' reinsured at eighty
guineas premium. The ships Lord
Spencer, which sailed from San Fran
cisco for Queenstown on April 9, and
the Star of Austria, which sailed from
Santa Rosalia on March 25 for Fal
mouth, are believed to have been lost,
and the vessels and cargoes are being
reinsured at seventy guineas premium.
AN ENERGETIC NEW WOMAN.
She Can Blake Her Way in the World and
Look Out for Herself. .
I don't take much stock in these new
woman ideas,' remarked a man from
south Georgia the other day, according
to the Atlanta Constitution, "but I saw
one to-day I would like to have in my
corn field in fodder season to pull fod
der. Say, that woman was a James D.
She saw a street car about a block and a
half away and made up her mind to
catch it ; and she did begosh. She made
a plunge for it and whistled for the con
ductor to stop the concern. The con
ductor didn't think she would ever
reach the car and consequently did not
stop. But that woman was one of the
up-to-date rs, and she had different no
tions from those of the conductor. She
ran like a rabbit, and it wasn't long be
fore she had planted ber tiny foot upon
the step of the retreating car.
"I felt disposed to applaud her for this
feat, but about that time she reached
up and pulled the bell cord and stopped
the car herself.
"The conductor and motorman looked
up in astonishment. 'I simply want to
wait for my dog to catch up, she re
plied, to their inquisitive glances.
"Now, all I have to say is this; that if
that woman is a new woman, we need
more of them to run this country. We
need them particularly in the corn
fields."

THE OUKTH CELEBRATED.
A Complete aaccess Many Visitors From
Afar A lira nd Procession,
Early yesterday morning our citizens
were wakened by the firing of tbe
grand national salute. The town was
In gala attire, and it was but a short
time until the streets were thronged
with people.
The grand parade started at 10 a. m.
led by Lieutenant H. H. Riddell, chief
marshal of the day, accompanied by
several aides. The Arlington national
band headed I'.U divis1--: followed by
the newly orgn -t ' ,:?d miliiia company.
Then came carriages in which were
the speaker of the day, mayor, presi
dent of tbe commercial club, reader of
the declaration of independence, school
board and several others. The liberty
car was in this division and was a
pretty Bight to behold, for tbe little
misses wem even more charming than
their elder sisters.
The second division waa headed by
The Dalles brass bind followed by the
George and Martha Washington float,
A. M. Williams & Co's. marines, draw
ing an immense cannon. Louie
Comini dressed as a Turk marching
along side of bis son, who was driving
his billy goat which was hitched to a
wagon, came next, and attracted quite
a lot of attention. The Times-Mountaineer
had arranged a very attractive
wagon with a press in it, and during
the procession Joe Heroux, the press
man, printed and distributed dodgers
to tbe crowd along the streets. Mays
& Crowe had a beautiful buggy placed
on top of a celebrated Rushford wagon
drawn by two large horses.
The third and last division was led
by the Dufur brass band and consisted
mostly of the different fire companies.
Chief Gunning, foreman and first as
sistant, followed by the Jackson
Engine" Co. and the steam engine,
came next. Then' came the Columbia
Hose Co. with their carts, followed
by the East End Hoso Co. and tbe Mt.
Hood Hose Co. Tbe juvenile hose
team was- in this division and was a
very attractive feature.
From Second street the parade
moved up Union to the new school
house, where the formal flag raising
took place, during which the Dalles
band played the "Star Spangled
Banner.' When old glory fluttered to
the breeze Mayor Nolan stepped to the
front of the balcony and suggested
three cheers, which was Immediately
taken up ai.d the hills responded with
the echo. The chorus led by Prof.
Lundell then sang "The Flag With
out a Stain," which ended the morn
ing exercises. In presenting the flag
to the district, Hon. John Michell de
livered a most pleasing and patriotic
address that was a beautiful tribute to
the stars and stripes, and the response
by Chairman Adams was happily
worded and well received.
At 1:30 p. m. the plug ugly parade
took place from the Wasco warehouse,
led by tbe Dufur band. In this pro
cession numerous Indians took part
and all went to the Academy park.
The Arlington band opened the ex
ercises at the Academy park by render
ing a selection, after which Rev. Jos.
DeForest pronounced the invocation.
After the chorus sang "Columbia the
Gem of the Ocean" the declaration of
independence was read by Mrs. Maud
Eddon in a very able manner. The
"Soldier's Chorus" was next, after
which Hon. Wallace McCammant was
introduced by president of the day,
Capt. John W. Lewis, and de
livered a stirring oration which
was appreciated by all. The
chorus then sang "Remember the
Maine," after which the general as
sembly joined in singing "America."
Ihe races came next and were quite a
drawiug card. The sidewalk and
street in front of the academy being
blocked with onlookers. The bicycle
parade failed to materialize, but the fire
works compensated for people staying
up for they were grand. This ended
the day's sports and from the number of
visitors, appearance of the people, the
committees that bad the affair in hand
can be congratulated, for the celebra
tion surely was a flattering success.
That the celebration was a martced
success in every particular cannot be
denied by anyone who was in attend
ance, and to the various committees
who had the management in charge
much credit is due. and too much can
not be said in praise of Capt. John W.
Lewis, chairman of the executive com
mittee, on whom the entire supervi
sion of the arrangements for the cele
bration devolved. For two or th-ee
weeks Capt. Lewis devoted his entire
attention to furthering the Interests of
the celebration, and very nobly did be
perform the labors that devolved upon
him. To him more than anyone else
did the success of the celebration de
pend, for it was owing to his rare ex
ecutive ability that every detail was
looked after, and nothing was left un
done. However, Capt. Lewis was ably
seconed by the other members of the
executive board, and he duly apDre
ciated thief valuable assistance.

01 Feeling Existing Between the
Chinese Ruler and His Subject a
Che Speedy Downfall of the Present Dyn
asty Prophotically Announced The
Country to Be Divided Into
Three Kingdoms.
Reports of a serious revolt against
the present Chinese government in
Manchurin and the issue of proclama
tions by the rebels declaring that the
Manchu dynasty is near its end have
created a great deal of interest among
the foreign colony in the treaty ports,
Bays a letter from Shanghai. News
that bears directly upon the reported
disaffection in many provinces of China
comes from Nanking. It appears that
all np through the great valley of the
Yangtse a finely written prophecy of
the approaching end of Manchu rule is
being circulated. It is almost impossi
ble for a foreigner who has not lived
i in China to understand the importance
that is given by the gentry to anything
which is well written or carefully
printed. If such a document does not
strongly 'violate the probabilities it
will be accepted as Gospel truth.
This prophecy, says the Chicago
Tribune, appears to be firmly believed
by all the Chinese who have read it. It
purports to have been written by Iluan
Peh-Shanwho in a vision describes
the downfall of .the present govern
ment. It shows considerable literary
ability, but anyone who is skeptical
may readily see that the author has
thrown in local detail to clinch his
prophecy.
The sketch of the emperors of China
is very well done, but this historical in
troduction appears to have been writ
ten merely to lull the snspecions of the
reader and to induce him to accept the
sensational statements about the com
ing ruin of the Manchu dynasty. The
prophet declares that the great prov
inces of Yunnan and Kueichou are the
first that will abandon the empire
After this China will be divided into,
three kingdoms, but this will not take
place and permanent peace will not be
secured until the woods are cleared
from Purple mountain and the waters
of Lotus lake are dried up. The
specious nature of such a prophecy may
be seen when it is stated that about)
all the forest has been cut off of Purj
pie mountain, while in dry years ona
may walk over the bed of Lotus lakpj
which is converted into solid ground.
Any season of drought may therefore
be taken by the conspirators with the
assurance that the two main items of
this prophecy will be found fulfilled.
In Hunan there is deep feeling
against the present dynasty because of
its favor shown to foreigners. Hunan
is the seat of a set of fanatics who
would - rejoice to see every European
thrown out of China. In this province
liave occurred the worst outrages on
Christian missionaries, and anyone
journeying np the Yangtse retains
ivid recollections of the showers of
stones and obscenity that descended
apon his house-boat from the neigh--.oring
banks. Intercourse with
Coreigcers seem only to intensify the
jopular hatred of the European inter
lopers, who, they think, are encouraged
by the yonng Emperor and his advis
ers. . The worst feature of the situa
tion is that the central government
loe" net dare to rebuke the insolence
A the Hnnan people. , This has been
.fa.o-.vn repeatedly in recent yeaio, out
-.he most conspicuous instance was the
aili:re to punish Chou Han, the author
f the infamous Hunan tracts against
'hri.itKinity, which caused all the peril
nd suffering of missionaries in the
JanKte valley. This man was proved
be the author of these tracts incit--

.ape;joats of some of the best native
rienus of the missionaries. He. then
lilated on the thoroughness of his
work and the impartial punishment

mockery . of the thing, but as no
European could follow out an investi

Since the.n elaborate protests have
been filed with the Taung-li Yamen
against the injustice of the proceed
ing. '-
In any other country than China
such acts would have resulted in the
degradation of the guilty officials, but
the governor of Changchs and the
viceroy of - Hunan are both in office
and complacently defy their foreign
critics.
It is from Hunan, .therefore, that we
may expect to see the first uprising
against the present dynasty. There
are already rumors of serious trouble,
but no one can ascertain the facts, be
cause the province is closed to Euro
peans, and the few native Christiana
dare not tell what they know for fear
of the vengeance of the officials.
MASKED BEKOHE MARRIAGE.
A Feminine Falling; Which Is Often, the
Cum of Fost-Knptial Misery.
There is no doubt that a great deal
of the "unhappiness of married life
.rises from the fact that when a man
is courting a girl he only -sees her "at
her best," both as regards temper,
looks and everything else. After mar
riage he is rudely disillusioned and
vaguely wonders whether this, snappy
young woman with untidy hair and
perhaps a shine on her nose can be
the sweet-tempered, faultlessly-dressed,
lovely Angelina of a few months ago.
Yes, young man, says the New York
Advertiser, she ' is Angelina right
enough, only she has, so to say,
thrown off ber mask, now she has
"got yon," and appears in her true
colors, which are not quite of BO fas
cinating -a hne as those that dazzled
your lovesick eyes in the courting
period. It la- nearly every girl's am
bition to get married. She lays her
self out to do so, and any little artifice
that will .rr her natural charms
she has no hesitation in using. She
dresses for effect, she poses for effect,
she talks for effect, in fact, during this
stage of ber life she is acting for
very woman is more or less of an
actress and it must b son fa ad that.-
generany speaa-ing, sue acts her part
very well.
After all, it is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and
endeavor to captivate mankind, for
marriage. is the be-all and end-all of a
society girl's existence. The worst of
it is that she cannot keep this np after
marriage. It would be too great a
strain both physically and mentally.
As it is, heaven only knows what she
goes through during the anxious time
when she is angling for a fish, especial
ly if it be a gold fish. She molds hep
self to his likes and dislikes, and out
rages her own feelings, until the little
golden band on her fingers allows her
to breathe freely and declare that
"Though he likes living in the coun
try, 6he detests it, and does not intend
to live there." Mr. Neuwed is startled
and astonished. This is open rebellion.
Yet when he was courting her she ap
peared such a meek, gentle creature, as
to have no wish or will of her own,
quite content to follow in his lordship's
footsteps. "What a fool I was to get
married," he mentally exclaims, and
then in all probability the bickering
begins that renders married life one
long misery.' Perhaps it now dawns
on Mr. Neuwed that when he waa
courting her she was at her best.
A word to men. When you are court
ing a girl remember she is at her best
in every respect, and that she cannot
possibly always keep up this high
standard after marriage; so grasp the
fact that you are not going to marry
an angel, but a human being with many
faults, perhaps as many as you possess
vourneli. -

could invent
a story of truer

than the "humble
romance " revealed
-"' by the following;
letter from Mr.
Hairy Chant, of an Haskell Avenue,
Dallas, Texas.
" About fourteen or fifteen months stro
I was working; with a g-sns; of men and happened
to say to one of them, ' I hope it will not rain as
I have a big; washing;' to do for the children.'
The man said, ' What is the matter with your
wifef" .
" Pot years my wife had been suffering; from
what the doctors called prolapsus of uterus. She
was nervous.- had cold hands and feet, palpita
tion, headache, backache, constipation, a disa
greeable drain, with bearing down pains; no ap
petite. She got so weak she could not get around.
1 am only a laborer so was always in debt with
the doctors, and all for no good, as none did her
any good. We began to think that she was never
going to get well. 1
" I told this man what the doctors said was the
matter with her.' and he ssid " did you ever hear
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription ? ' " "I told
him no, but I bad tried so many patent medicines
that I was tired of them all. and besides 1 did not
hsve enough money to pay the doctor and the
drag store. He said if I would get two or
three bottles and try them, and If it did not do
my wife any good that he would pav for the med
icine. I went to the drug- store (Mr. Clawber's
on Elm Street), and bought a bottle. The first
and second did not seem to have much effect but
the third seemed to work like s charm. She has
taken in all about thirteen bottles and she is to
dav as stout and healthy as any woman in the
United States. This is not the only case. When
ever I hear tel! of any woman who is sick in the
neighborhood I just send the book and paper that
is wrapped around every bottle and that does tbe
business. I sra no longer bothered about doing
mv own washing and cooking, for mv wife can
do" it all in one day and never seems tired or out
of spirits now."
