ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
Today is "Bt Valentine's Day." It
ii, or more oorreotly was, celebrated In
England, Bootland, and in different parts
of the oontinent, particularly Lorraine
and Maine in Franoe, by a very peculiar
and amusing custom. On the eve of St.
Valentine, a number of young folks-
maids and bachelors would assemble
together, and insoribe upon little billets
the names of an equal number of maids
and bachelors of their acquaintance
throw the whole into a reoeptaola of
tome sort, and then draw them lottery
wise oare, of course, being taken that
each should draw one of the opposite sex.
The person thus drawn beoame one's
valentine. Of oourse, besides having got
a valentine for one's self, one became, by
the universality of the practice, some
other person's valentine; but, as MisBon,
a learned traveler in the early part of
last century, remarks, "the man stuck
faster to the valentine that had fallen to
him, than to ber to whom he bad fallen.'
These imaginary .ngagements, as may
readily be supposed, often led to real
ones; because one necessary consequenoe
of them was that, for a whole, year, a
bachelor remained bound to the service
of his valentine, somewhat after the fash
ion of a mediieval knight of romance to
his lady-love. At one period it was ous
tomary for both sexes to make each other
presents, but latterly the obligation
seems to have been restricted to young
men. During the Fifteenth ocntury this
amusement was very popular among the
upper classes, and at many European
courts. From Fepy's Diary, we see that
in Charles II.'s reign, married as well as
single people oould be obosen.
For some time back, the festival at
least in England and Scotland has ceas
ed to possess the graoeful symbolic mean
ing it used to have, and haa become a
considerable nuisano. "The approach
of the day ia now heralded by tneappear-
ano. in the print sellers' shop-windows
of vast numbers of missives calculated
for use ob this occasion, eaoh generally
consisting of a single sheet of post-paper,
on tha first page of which is seen some
ridioulous-colored oarioature of the male
or female figure, with a few burlesque
verses below. More rarely, the print i
of a sentimental kind, suoh as a view of
Hymen's altar, with a pair undergoing
initiation into wedded happiness before
it, while Cupid flutters above, and hearts
transfixed with his darts decorate the
oorners. Maid servants and young fel
lows interchange such epistles with eaoh
other on the 14th of February, no doubt
conceiving that the joke ia amazingly
good; and, generally, the newspapers do
not fail to record that the London post
men delivered so many hundred thousand
mors letters on that day thau they do in
general." Chamber's Book of Days, vol
1, p. 208.
The connection of the custom with St
Valentin, is purely accidental. In the
legends of the different saints of that
name recorded In the Acta Sanotortitu,
no trace of the praotioe peculiar to the
14th of February is found. It has been
suggested by Mr. Douce, in bis Illustra
tlons of Shakespeare, that the oiiBtein
may have desoended to ub from the an-
aieut Komans, who, during the Luperca
liu, oelebrated in the month of February,
were wont, among other things, "io put
th. names of young women into a box,
from which they were drawn by the men
as chance directed;" and that the Chris
tian olergy, finding it difiloult or hupos
aible to extirpate this pagan practice,
gave it at least a religious eapeot by sub
stituting the names of particular saints
for those of the women; and it is certainly
a usage more or lass widely extended in
the Roman Catholic ohurah to select,
either on Bt. Valentine's day or some
other, a patron saint for the year, who is
termed a valentine. But it is far more
probable that tha custom of choosing
valentines is relio of that nature
religion which was undoubtedly the
primitive form of religion In n. w. Europe,
as elsewhere; and that it sprung from a
recognition of the peculiarity of the sea
ton. Henoe the explanation, that "about
this time of the year the birds choose
their mates, and thence probably came
the custom of the young men and maid
ens choosing valentines or apeoial loving
friends on that day." Valentines are
now less extensively manufacture! than
formerly.
Thb Times Mountaineer says that
the bouse baa refused to pass the bill
repealing tbs Sherman silver law, and
then adds that "free-trade and free
silver are very euphonious mottoes for
democraoy." Better not said anything.
The republicans were as badly divided
on the repeal bill as the democrats, and
no one has any reason to call this a party
measure. The Gazette is do free-trade
journal, but thinks nothing will sound
better to the masses, our primary pro
ducers, to hear chronioled through the
press that the United States hasj again
adopted the money of our fathers, silver
as well as gold.
The house of representatives in con
gress have taken a test vote on the re
peal of the Sherman bullion. purohnno
aot, and it ia dead certain that it won't
pass this session. The vote to consider
the previous question, the consideration
of the silyer bill on the 10th inst., was
defeated and the measure tabled. The
vote stood 153 to 143. The motion was
supported by 107 democrats, 35 re
publicans and 10 populists ; against,
104 democrats and 89 republicans.
Tabling this measure means no repeal,
say supporters both with pro and con.
Any plan, leading to a further issue of
bonds to secure gold, should be resisted
by oongress if in their province. Make
our silver legal tender ss it was previous
to 1873, and coin up the hundreds of
tons of silvor bullions now on deposit
at Washington, and which is of no
earthly use under the present laws.
The dealings of the common people are
done in silver, and they abould have
just as many privileges, so far as their
money goes, as the millionaire. We
have plenty of the preoious metals to
make all the money needed.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature of the state of New York
providing for the recording of a certifi
cate signed by the parties to a mar
riage and by at least one witness in the
case of non-ceremonial marriages, and
further providing that such' marriages
shall not be valid except so reaorded.
In other words, there are to be no more
seoret marriages in New York, nor
should there be in Oregon. The next
step should be to make diyoroes as
publio in every respeot as marriages are
thus made. Exohange.
No kffobt will be made to pass the
Gullixon military bill appropriating
$40,000 for the biennial term, aside
from the fixed levy over the governor's
veto, a compromise having been effected
in the house yesterday, by which it is
virtually agreed to pais the Ford bill,
whioh appropriates $60,000 for the
militia for the biennial term and repeals
the fixed tax for both state university
and militia, appropriating $22,000 for
the stute university.
Austria is endeavoring to get enough
gold for a reserve so that they may
adopt monometallism. In order to get
the amount, our stook of gold is being
drawn up to an extraordinary extent.
There is not half enough goldin the
world to meet the requirements on
a monometallic basis. Acontinuation
of the present policy of the goldists in
the leading countries of the world will

If Gov. Fknnoybk's veto is sustained
on the World's Fair appropriation,
Oregon exuiuit will appear on a

to spare, too. Then we will wonder why
Oregon will be rated as a forth-class
state. Let us hold up our end, or
eternally go dowu to oblivion in moss

If tub wealthy meu of the world

All tbe members that were here were
greatly in favor of tbe appropriation
which has been asked for by the college.
The literary contest will take place at
the opera bouse Feu. lUth. The pro

Prof. Horner has collected tbe essays
written by the first, third and fourth year
students and had them neatly bound,
They are to be found on exhibition in his
room in the college.
Last Saturday was an unusually aotive
day for the oollege. It was announced
Friday that a body of legislators would
be here the next day, and in order for
them to see the college at its work it
would be necessary to carry out the reg
ular program of recitation Saturday.
They arriyed on the 1 o'clook train from
Albany and at onoe prooeeued to Can
thorn Hall where dinner was awaiting
them. After dinner they were shown
through tbe class rooms of the oollege,
(where tbe classes were busy at work)
laboratories, workshops, eto., and were
given the privilege of calling for any
olasa they desired to bear recite. Tbey
spent about three or four hours in this
manner anil then returned to Canthorn
Hall to the banquet. After this was
over toasts were given by Prof. Oovell
and Messrs. Swaun and Kowan, presi
dents of the Wehsteriun and Cioeronien
societies. They were followed by Rep
resentative Gates of Yamhill oounty, T.
T. Geer, of Marion county. Col. Robt A.
Miller, of Juoksou county, and Senator
W. 8. Vanderhurg, of Coos oounty. It
was necessary to draw this to a olose
about 7:45, to attend the entertaiameut
given by the literary societies in ihe ool

member from each chapter of the Web
sterian and Ciceronian societies, and one
from the Athenian and Madisonian socie
ties of the preparatory department Also
one member selected from the Hesperian
Lyceum. After the regular program
was rendered, President Bloss called upon

not a member of the legislature, but that
he had a voice in this matter and would
do all he could for the O. A. C. It now
being about 10:30 and some of the mem

AN OAKVILLEMIRACLE.
The Remarkable Case of Mr.
John W. Condor.
HE WAS A HELPLESS CRIPPLE FOR TEARS.
Treated by The BUB of Tbs Toronto General
Hospital And Discharged as Incurable
The Story of His Miraculous Re
covery as Investigated by an
Empire Keporter.
From the Toronto Empire.
For more than a year past the readers
of the Empire have been given the par
ticulars of some of the most remarkable
cures of tbe 19th oentury, all, or nearly
all of them, in oases hitherto held by tbe
most advanced medical scientists to be
in onrable . The particulars of these oases
were vouohed for by such leading news
papeis as the Hamilton Spectator and
Times, tbe Halifax Herald, Toronto
Globe, Le Monde, Montreal; Detroit
News; Albany, N. Y., Journal; Albany
Express and others, whose reputation
plaoed beyond question the statements
made.
Recently rnmors have been afloat of a
remarkable case in the pretty little town
of Oakville, of a young man recovering
after years of helplessness and agony.
Tbe Empire determined to subject the
oase to the most rigid investigation, and
accordingly detailed one of our best re
porters to make a thorough and impar
tial investigation into the case. Acting
upon these instructions our reporter went
to Oakville, and called upon Mr. John
W. Condor (who it was had. so miracu
lously reoovered) and had not long been
in conversation with him when he was
convinced that the statements made were
not only true, but that "the half had not
been told." The reporter found Mr.
Condor at work in one of the heaviest
departments uj the Oakville Basket Fac
tory, and was 'surprised, in the face of
what be knew of this case, to be con
fronted by a strapping young fellow of
good physique, ruddy oountenance and
buoyant bearing. This now rugged young
man was he who had spent a great part
of his days upon a sick-bed, suffering al
most untold agony. When the Empire
representative announced tbe purpose of
bis visit Mr. Condor cheerfully volun
teered a statement of bis oase for the ben
efit of other sufferers. "I am," said Mr.
Condor," an Englishman by birth, and
came to this oonntry with my parents
when nine years of age, and at that time
was as rugged and healthy as any boy of
my age. I am now 29 years of age, and
it was when about 14 years old that tbe
first twinges of inflammatory rheumatism
oame upon me, and during the fifteen
years that intervened between that time
and my recovery a few months ago,
tongue can hardly tell how muob I suf
fered. My trouble was brought on, I
think, through too frequent bathing in
the oold lake water. The joints of my
body began to swell, the cords of my legs
to tighten, and the musoles of my limbs
to ooutract. I became a helpless crip
ple, confiued to bed, and for three months
did not leave my room. The doctor who
was called in administered pieparations
of iodide of potassium and other reme
dies without any material beneficial
effeot. After some months of suffering I
became strong enough to leave the bed,
but my limbs were stiffened and I was
unfitted for any aotive vooation. I was
then hampered more or less for the fol
lowing nine years, when I was again
forced to take my bed. This attack was
in 1886, and was a great deal more severe
than the hrst. My feet, ankles, knees.
legs, arms, shoulders, Bnd in fact all
Darts of my frame were affected. My
joints aud musoles became badly swollen,
and the disease even reached my head.
My face swelled to a great size. I was
unable to open my mouth, my jaws be
ing fixed together. I, of course, oonld
eat nothing. My teeth were pried apart
and liquid food poured down my throat.
I lost mv voioe and oould speak only in
husky whispers. Really, I am unable to
describe the Btate I was in during those
long weary months. With my swollen
limbs drawn by tbe tightening cords np
to my emaciated body, and my whole
frame twisted and oontorted into inde
scribable shapes, I was nothing more
than a deformed skeleton, for three
long weary months I was confined to bed,
alter which 1 was able to get up, but
was a complete physical wreck, hobbling
around on orntohes a helpless cripple.
My sufferings were oontinually intense,
and frequently when I would be hobbling
along the street I would be seizedwitb a
Daroxvsm of nin and would fall uncon
scious to the ground. During all this
time I bad tbe constant attendance of
medioal men. but their remedies were
unavailing. All they oould do was to try
to build np my system by tbe use of ton
ics. In the fall of 1889 and spring of
1890 I aeain suffered intensely serere
attacks, and at lost my medical attend
ant, as a lost resort, ordered ma to the
Toronto General Hospital. I entered
the hospital on June 20th, 1890, and re
mained there until Sept. 20th of tbe same
vear. But, notwithstanding all the rare
and attention bestowed upon me while
in this institution, no improvement was
noticeable in mv condition. After using
almost every available remedy tbe hos
Dital doctors, of whom there were about a
doaen.oame to the conclusion that my
ease was iuourable, and I was sent away,
with tbe understanding that I might re
main art outside patient. Accordingly
from September 1890 to the end of Janu
ary 1891, 1 went to the hospital onoe a
ween for examination and treatment. At
this stage 1 became suddenly worse, and
onoe more gained admission to tbe hos
pital, where I lay in a miserable suffer
ing condition for two months or more.
In the spring of 1891 1 returned to Oak
ville, and made an attempt to do some
thing toward my own support. I was
given light work in the basket faotory,
but bad to be conveyed to and from my
place of labor in a buggy and carried
from the rig to a table in the works on
which I sat and performed my work. In
Augnst, 1891, 1 was again stricken down,
and remained in an utterly helpless con
dition until January 1892. At this time
Mr. James, a looal druggist, strongly
urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. I was prejudiced
against proprietary medicines sb I bad
spent nearly all I possessed on numerous
highly recommended so-called remedies.
I had taken into my syBtem large quan
tities of different family medicines. I
had exhausted the list of liniments, but
all in vain, and I was therefore reluctant
to take Mr. James' advice. I, however,
saw strong testimonials as to the value
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ss a blood
builder and nerve tonic, and thinking
that if I oould only get my blood in bet
ter oondition my general state of health
might be improved, and I resolved to
give Pink Pills a trial. With the oour
age born of despair I bought a box, but
there was no noticeable improvement,
and I thought this was like tbe other
remedies I had used. But urged on by
friends I continued taking Pink Fills and
after taking seven boxes I was rewarded
by noticing a deoided change for the bet
ter. My appetite returned, my spirits
began to rise and I bad a little freer use
of my muscles and limbs, the old trouble
some swellings subsiding. I oontinued
the remedy until I had used twenty-five
boxes when I left off. By this time I
had tajsen on considerable flesh and
weighed as much as lbO Dounds. This
was a gain of 60 pounds in a few weeks.
My joints assumed their normal size, my
muscles beoame firmer, and in faot I was
a new man, By April I was able to go
to work in the basket faotory, and now I
can work ten hours a day with any man.
I often stay on duty overtime without
feeling any bad effeots. I play baseball
in the evenings and oan run bases with
any of tbe boys. Why I feel like danc
ing for very joy at the relief from abject
misery I suffered so long. Many a time
I prayed for death to release me from my
sufferings, but now that is all gone and
I enjoy health as only be oan who has
Buttered agony for years. I have given
you a brief outline of my sufferings, but
from what I have told you oan guess the
depth of my gratitude for the great rem
edy which has restored me to health and
strength.
Wishing to substantiate the truth of
Mr. Condor's remarkable story, the Em
pire representative called upon Mr. F.
W. James, the Oakville druggist referred
to above. Mr. James fully corroborated
the statements of Mr. Condor. When
tbe latter had first taken Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills he was a mere skeleton a
wreck of humanity. Tbe people of the
town had long given him up for as good
as dead, and would hardly believe the
man's reoovery until they saw him them
selves. The fame of this onre is now
spread throughout the section aud the
result is an enormous sale of Pink Pills.
"I sell a dozen and a half boxes of Pink
Pills every day," said Mr. James, "and
this is remarkable in a town tbe size of
Oakville. And better still they give bet
ter satisfaction. Mr. James recalled
numerous instances of remarkable cures
after other remedies had failed. Mr.
John Robertson, who lives midway be
tween Oakville and Milton, who bad been
troubled with asthma Bnd bronohitis for
about 15 years, has been oured by the
use of Pink Pills, and this after physi
cians had told him there was no use doc
toring further. Mr. Robertson says bis
appetite had failed completely, but after
taking seven boxes of Pink Pills he was
ready and waiting for each meal. He
regards bis case as a remarkable one.
In fact Dr. Williams' Fink Pills are rec
ognized as one ot the greatest modern
medioines a perfeot blood builder and
nerve restorer curing suoh diseases as
rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis,
locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' danoe, nerv
ous headache, nervous prostration and
the tired feeling resulting therefrom, dis
eases depending upon humors in the
blood, Buch as scrofula, obronic erysipe
las, eto. Pink Pills restore pale and sal
low oomplexions to the glow ot health,
and are a epeoifio for all the troubles pe
culiar to tbe female sex, while in tbe case
of meu they effect a radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, over
work or exoesses of whatever nature.
The Empire reporter also called upon
Mr. J. C. Ford, proprietor of the Oak
ville Basket Factory, in which Mr. Con
dor is employed. Mr. Ford said he knew
of tbe pitiable condition Condor had been
in tor years, and he had thought he
would never reoover. Tbe enre was evi
dently a thorough one for Condor work
ed steadily at bard labor in tbe mills and
apparently stood it as well as the rest of
tbe employees. Mr. Ford said he thought
a great deal of the young man and was
pleased at his wondrousdeliverancefrom
the grave and bis restoration to vigor
our health.
In order to still further verify the
statements made by Mr. Condor in
the above interview, tbe Empire reporter
on his return to Toronto examined tbe
general Hospital records, and found there
in tbe entries fully bearing out all that
Mr. Condor had said, thus leaving no
doubt that bis case is one of the most re
markable on record, andall the more re
markable beoause it had baffled the skill
of the best physicians in Toronto.
These pills are manufactured by the
Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Sohe
nectady, N. Y., and Brockville, Out., and
are sold in boxes (never in loose form by
tbe dozen or hundred and tbe publio are
oantioned against nnmerous imitations
sold in this shape) at 50 cents a box, or
six boxes for $2.50, and may be had of
all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company from either
address. The price at which these pills
are sold makes a course of treatment com
paratively inexpensive as oom pared with
other remedies or medical treatment
