Subscriptions to the Carlield monument fund were discontinued ye3terda'. The many frienda of Capt. Wass will be jjlatl to note his position on the Chester. A co-operative di voice associa tion is the latest thing in mutual benefit societies. The Portland boats took up :i large number of Astorians j'eslerday morn ing; visitors to the Mechanics' Fair. Police otliccr Sires who was shot by Ben Payne last Wednesday night in Seattle, died on Sunday evening. The City of Chester arrived down yesterday morning, and sailed for San Francisco, Capt. A. D. Wass piloting. Portland's remittance of six hun dred dollars for the Garfield monu ment fund is the best contribution west of the Ohio. Private Gugenham of the 1st cav alry was accidentally shot and killed by Joe Eberle of the same company, at Walla Walla last Saturday. The Clara Parker brought down 15,000 brick from Hume's mill yes terday morning. She also had wheat aboard to complete the cargo of the Doxford. The members of the Odd Fel lows' Land and Building Association will meet at the lodge room next Thursday evening. A full attendance iH desired. The Emma Haj'ward brought down a large freight and passenger list last evening. Among the arrivals were Mr. Jno. Hume, Mr. M. 1'. Cal ender and wife, Mrs. Gen. Graham and sisters. There was some slight mention in the streets and in public and private places yesterday as to an alleged rain fall. The air was somewhat moist at times during the day and appearances certainly favored the assertion. Charters & Morton, of the As toria Shooting gallery, oiler a stand ing prize of $2 50 to any person 'mak ing three bulls eyes in succession. Also a prize of $5 00 to any person making the highest score in six shots during the balance of the week. The President has sent the senate the following nominatiens: Fred. W. Sparling, of Washington territory, register of the land office at Vancou ver, and Jerome Knox, of Oregon, receiver of public moneys at Lakeview, Oregon. After many trials and tribulations the State of California got safely out of the raging Willamette and floated down to tins port at Duiu last evening. She sails this morning. The Columbia and other craft are having a little time of their own at St. Helen's bar. "We can hardly, upon the wings of the imagination, picture to our selves the great and sudden clianges that internal development is destined to stamp upon the organic features of our young and beautiful country." Albany Herald. "Organic features" is good. The board of directors of the Oregon Railway and Navigation com pany have declared a quarterly divi dend of two per cent, payable No vember 1st, at the office of the Farm er's Loan and Trust company in New York, to stockholders of a record of October 20th. Transfer books will close October 20th and reopen Novem ber 5th. Interest on company's scrip will be paid at the same time and place. Wasted Money. The government has wasted millions upon millions of money in "improv ing" impossible streams and construct ing ridiculous harbors, for the mere purpose of gratifying individual con gressmen and giving them strength in thoir respective districts. A general pool is formed for the distribution of public plunder, and securing of need ed and reasonable improvements is effected only at the cost of uselessly squandered money elsewhere. The consideration of the river and harbor bills is habitually attended with a large aoount of jocularity, and some remarkable information in the way of local geography is imparted. .Rivers that were never heard of before, out side of a few counties, figure in Jheni. Two or three yeais ago, a Pennsylva nia member created a good deal of fun by insisting upon aid for some mountain creeks in his distnet, blithe obtained it. A Kentucky member asset ted once that the only way a con tain river under consideration could be improved would be by macadam izing it, but it probably got its stipend. Sm all this is very funny, but it is expensive, and ihe people ara getting tired of it. It has thrown au atmos phere of suspicion and fraud about such billrt that is fatal often lc their legitimate usefulness. - Assassination has never changed the world's history. Some talk of getting up a Shikes puiian association. Good idea. The I lwaco Steam. Navigation Co. have added 800 feet to their what f making 1,220 feet in all. The Union Packing Co., a co operative institution is putting up a new cannery this side of Smith's Point. The Coos Bay Steam and Lumber Compaiiy has incorporated to manu facture and deal in all kinds of barrels and kegs. Five new canneries are now in process of conjunction in anil near Astoria. That means a hundred and fifty more boats next season. The people of Wrangel, Alaska Territoiy, didn't hear of Garfield's death till the Gth inst., but upon re ceipt of the news, they held a memo rial service in honor to his memory. The inhabitants came near lynch ing a tailor who endeavored to intro duce the new style of tight coat sleeves in Deadwood. They regarded it as a direct blow at the poker in dustry. The Albany Register, being duly deposed sxyeth that the rumor jcr aQoat to the effect that Villard has bought the "Yaquina railroad" is to tally falue and unfounded. Con gratulations are in order. Jack rabbits .swarm iu Payett valley, Idaho. They eat the greaso wood and sage brush to the ground; a dog is insulted if offered rabbit meat. The boys corral them, and at a bounty of five cents each have near ly broko the county treasury. An agricultural exchange has an ailicle on kicking cows. Il is hard to imagine a man who can be so mean as to go around kicking these useful and inoffensive animals, but we suppose there are such wretches, or the article wouldn't have been written. -L. A. Loomis laid over here on Sunday on his way back f.om Port land where he has contracted with the Willamette iron wotks for boiler and machinery for the new tug now being built for the llwaeo Steam Navigation Co. $0,500 is the price to be paid. The British ship A&iracau, 075 tons register, Page master, from Ade laide arrived on Sunday; Woods pilot ing. Capt. Page reports having spoken the ship Merom from 'Astoria bound for Liverpool, 50 days out, in " ueg. w mm. .. L.ai; xau ueg. ;o ue". ou mm. 4 niin. W. Long. An Indian idol Has recently found in Kansas. It was made of earthenware, was brown in coiur, and lias a handle. It will hold two quarts. Boston Post. It was empty, and by its side lay another Indian idle. Philadelphia News. And here is the third canto of the Indian idyl: A few days ago some fishermen cast their nets inside Fort Point wharf and captured a halibut nieas ing four feet in length. The iish is the first of its species which has ever been caught, so far as is known, inside the Golden Gate. Halibut is frequently caught off the Farallones and in Mon terey bay, which is the southernmost point on the coast where it U found. Its favoiite feed'ng grounds are in higher latitudes. It is vcrv plentiful off the coast "of Vancouver island aud off Cape Flattery. Poor Little Fellow! This explains how the boys get lest: A six-yeir-o!d urchin failed to return home from school at the proper hour Friday afternoon, and was found late in the evening, after a long and anx ious search, straggling around the wharf. Ho was put to bed gravely, perhaps even sternly, but without much inquiry, explanations and disci pline being deferred till morning. At the breakfast-table, evidently feeling the need of interposing a defense, and taking advantage of a lull in the con versation among his seniors, he ex claimed: "I'll tell you, mamma, how it happened. After school I went part, of the way home with Mary , and at the corner of a street, where she left me, I kissed her, and she kissed xie, and then I found I was last." There was an explo.-uou around the table just about that time. Crossways At last accounts naval matters about the pleasant inland city of Portland were a little, mixed. In a Portland ex change to hand wo find th follewing: "Portland's river situation is even better than that of London." Iu the light of the above the delicate sarcasm of the P. e. is manifest to all. Our Poitland neighbor will soon take rank with the leading comic journals of the country. But if as may be suggested by some that were written in all due soberness, it can but be said that the English metropolis is entitled to the respectful regret of all those who go down to the sea in ships. Last Sunday night police ofllcer Beasley made a raid on a Chinese opium den iu the rear of Dr. Kinsey's residence on the roadway, and bagged two fiends who were "hitting the pipe," one alleged Caucasian and a Chinaman. They forfeited their bail of 110 each in the Police court yes terday morning. If you want a thing done do it yourself. Hunted around an hour yesterday to find a man to chop up and carry in a load of wood in front of the door. Finally organized into a committee of the whole on ways and means, and iu less than an hour had it cut and piled "all our own .self." - Last Saturday night while a per foi mance was going on at Music hall, a lamp suddenly exploded on the stage, causing a regular stampede, from the place. One of the audiem-e, a little more daring thanthe rest, jump ed on the stage and succeeded iu smothering the flames thus .saving the town from a probable fire. 'Tis said that the Venetians of the thirteenth century had a method of manufacturing glass goblets that would .shiver to piece if poison were poured into them. This is now reck oned among the "lost arts." If it is ever re-discovered, and glass factories start that branch of iudusliy, what a wholesale destruction of that useful material will take place in social re a.irls throughout our fair land. - The British bark Glen Fern ia ashore on Clatsop spit. Siie had no pilot and was probably misled by Tilla mook light. The life boat went down yesterday, but nothiug could be done. 'Twas iheught she might be got off at high tide last evening; otherwise the outlook for her safety is decidedly blue. About four o'clock the Gen. Canby, with a life boat, a crew of six men from the Scottish Knight, and a party consisting of the follewing: P. Oheriy, William MeCabe, E. C. Holdeu. . J. Barrv. Dan Graham, D. Curran. Tlios. Fairfowl, Mr. McKenzie, Capts. J ones of the Derbyshire, and Livingston of the Lanarkshire, started for tho vessel. They found it impossible to get near her and returned to the city about 0:30 r. i.

The executive committee having in charge the erection of a national nud international Garfield memorial hos pital met iu Washington last Thurs day, Gen. Sherman presiding. Near ly all the mombers were present. Standing committees were appointed. Secretary Blaine submitted tho follow ill" appeal and it was unanimously adjptcd: The cit:zeii3 of Washington and officials having residence here, have ttuited in a movement to do marked and enduring honor to the name of the late president, who-: gieat life was so sadly and so tragically ended. His reputation as a statesman. legislator and executive, was ac quired in this capitol. Beyond his claims to admiration and gratitude, he was personally beloved by all clashes of citizens of the Union in a degree that rarely falLs to the lot of an' public man. Reflecting his own wishes so far as they may be infeired from his career and his character, Uie measure deigned is th.it of a national hospital, to be located in the district of Columbia, to be known forever by his name. It will In n provfeion for the relief of human .sutfeiiug. from the cup of which he drank the bitter est dregs, and in the breadth of its hu man charity, it will fit the noble na ture and exalted aims of the hero and martyr. The hospital is designed to be as wide in its scope of bencficcuco as was the kindly heait of the dead President in its outstretch of human sympaties. It will be opened to tlixse needing its aid and ministration with out regard to olass, creed or color. To be a sufferer in need of help will be the only passport requited to enter it- doors and secure its aid. Such an in stitution founded 111 the cause of charity, and bearing the name of Gar field, appeals to the generosity of everyone and to everyone the appeal i made. Contributions binall and great are solicited, and may be safely re mitted to lion. das. Ciiiiilan. treas urer of the United States, who baa consented to act as tre.iMiivr of the fund.
