FUNERAL OF MRS. JOHAXSEX.
The body of Mrs. Johansen who was
burned to death at Roseburg last Toes
day morning, came down on tho Wide
West at noon yesterday, and was taken
charge of by the lodges of which her hus
band was a member. The funeral took
place at two and was largely attended.
The occurrence was a most harrowing
one and much sympathy is expressed for
the family. Mr. Johansen and his son
did not come down, their burns preclud
ing all efforts at removal. They are very
badly burned about the face and head,
eaoh of their bodies being almost a solid
blister from the shoulders up.- It is
thought both will recover. The hotel
faoedtwo streets, and was surrounded
by a veranda, so that all the occupants
of the main part escaped by rushing to
the veranda and jumping into the street.
The fire caught in the oil room tinder
the stairway, and this was the first to
born. Mr. Johansen and family occu
pied rooms in the second story of a wing,
and did not know that a small back
stairs led to the yard below. They heard
the fixe, and opening a door leading to
the main stairway, were struck by the
flames and severely burned. They re
treated to their rooms, and Mr. Johan
sen jumped to the ground, telling his
wife and son to follow, he goitig first so
as to break the fall. As soon as he touch
ed the ground some man jumped from
the building on him and stunned him so
that he was insensible for two or three
minutes. The boy jumped out. While
Mrs. Johansen was waiting for her hus
band's call, he lying insensible below,
the flames enveloped her. A one-armed
man named Walsh knew of tho existence
of the back stairs, and was making his
escape that way, when he saw Mrs. Jo
hansen, seized her, carried her down
with his only arm and tore her burning
olothes from her, himself being severely
burned. For this brave act, all honor.
Mr. Ziegler, proprietor of tho hotel, af
ter rescuing his family, went back into
the building to save the guests and be
came surrounded on three sides by fire.
Bis only escapo was to drop through a
window between the hotel and the adja
oent saloon, there being about two feet
space between the buildings. It is sup
posed that he injured himself in the fall
and was not able to crawl out.

HJGERSOLL'S LEOTUEE IN AS-T0EIA.
The Col. Gives His Yiews on Orthodoxy.
Something About Hit. Remarks; With Com
ments Thereon.
Col. Robt. Ingersoll arrived yesterday
on the Wide West and in the evening
spoko on orthodoxy to a fairly filled house.
The Colonel is a man of pleasing pres
ence. He is tall and portly, partially
bald; white hair on the back of his head,
smooth jolly-looking face, the redeem
ing feature of which is a pair of remark
ably intelligent eyes. He started off in
nn easy canter and soon had all his audi
ence riding along with him nt a pace
that gave time to breathe. He is an ac
complished orator. His style is most
graceful, his tones, now deep in emotion
al utterance, now high in sarcastic de
nunciation, are exquisitely modulated.
His language is remarkably copious and
he talks with the air of one who knows
just how to make his words the most ef
fective Not the least of his charm as a great
speaker is the entire absence of any dis
play. Hi! does not give one the impression
that ho is going to do anything very won
derful, nor does he attempt any climaxes
of expression, but, thoroughly at home
with his subject, gives verbal coinage to
the ideas that flow through his mind.
The lecture was a treat and was thor
oughly enjoyed b3' those present.
lngersoll's lecture last night was on
"Orthodoxy." It was the finest and
most intellectual discourse ever delivered
in Astoria. This is high praise but it is
his due. With keenest intellect, with
most stinging satire, with sharpest sar
casm, he attacked much of bosh and
sham and claptrap in this world, and
held it up to scorn and ridicule. His re
marks in relation to a "special Prov
idence" were alone worth listening to.
His description of Shakespeare's intel
lect; his invocation to Ixve, his glorious
supplication for human rights and hu
man liberty, stamp him as the foremost
of American orators.
He is not so original as Beecher; yet
wo prefer him to Boecher, because he
seemed to have less of the incongruous
about him; his wealth of languago is
fully equal to Beecher's, and he does full
justice to his subject.
As for belief in what he says, that is a
matter of opinion. The most of his au
dience went for the intellectual treat that
was afforded them. He has nothing new
to offer. What he says has been said be
fore, but his ability is such that wero ho
to begin talking about rectangular paral
lelograms or right-angled triangles, ho
could lib doubt hold the audience for
oer two hours, as he did last night.
Ingersoll has changod in the last few
years. About six years ago in bis lec
tures he saw fit to indulge in ribaldry
concerning Jesus Christ. The diminished
receipts at the ticket office xnado him go
off on another tack. Now ho is willing
to concede that Christ was a good man.
On this trip to the benighted northwest
his principal stock in trade is ridicule of
the Hebrew religion and race. A race
that has produced poets, artists, orators,
lawyers, princes, nnanciers, and great
men in every walk of life, such as the
Jewish people have, can afford to let such
Buerile criticisms as Ingersoll'H pass by.
e sneers at Abrahnm and talks of the
"mistakes of Moses." He strikes at the
great and honored dead, the leader and
lawgiver of tho most remarkable nation
that ever rose and flourished and fell.
The jackal can gqa.w in safety, the tongue
of the dead lion, and tho field-monso play
its antics in his footsteps on the plain.
Some of Ingersoll's utterances if ana
lyzed won't bear inspection. When boiled
down they leave no trace of truth. He
says: "All have an equal right to give
their honest-thought." Now that is very
taking, and sounds well. But let us see.
The honesty of a thought does not give
weight or importance to it. If it did,
lunatics and crazy people generally would
be the best of reasoners, for none are
more honest in their thoughts than they.
Thouglit must be judged with reference
to its truth and no& with reference to the
honesty of him who thinks it. This plea
of "honesty" in thinking is a justiUca
tion of every error and crime, for we
must, in tho very nature of the case, take
the thinker's word for the honesty of his
thought. Guiteau, when ho killed Gar
field, expressed his "honest thought" by
means of a revolver; and, if Ingersoll is
right, he had a right to do it. The right
that Ingersoll insists on implies the right
to realize that thought in action and
habit. If it doesn't mean that it doesn't
mean anything. It means the right to
cause that thought to influence society.
By what right then does Ingersoll claim
the right to interfere with tho slavehold
er's "honest thought" or the Mormon's
"honest thought?"
But Mr. Ingersoll says: "liOgic Is not
satisfied with assertions." Then if that
be so logic is not satisfied with his asser
tion in reference to it. But Mr, Ingersoll
hero gives evidence that he doesn't know
what logic includes. As a science, lo"ic
deals only with principles; as an art it
deals only with assertions. The reverse
of what Mr. Ingersoll says is the truth.
Mr. I.'s mistake arises from his inability
or refusal to distinguish between reason
and logic
Again he says: "Reason is the result of
all experience." How can it be? Re
sults follow causes, If reason is the re
sult of experience it can't exist until
after the experience is finished. What is
it, then, that the individual "experiences"
with? Mr. Ingersoll may say it is the
"mind." But "mind" and "reason" are
identical. Reason is the mind in action
The fact of tho matter is that without
reason experience is impossible, and when
Mr. Ingersoll tries to make reason the
result of experience he throws away both
reason and experience.
Mr. I. is safe enough as long as ho con
tents himself with making fun of Moses
or showing what tough old chaps the
patriarchs were, but ho doesn't reason
worth a cent. However, for those who
like that sort of thing, it is about tho
sort of thing thoy would like.
After saying that "reason is the result
of experience," he says that "Reason is
tho intellectual capital of the soul, the
only light, the only guide." Now that
sounds pretty, but when he said it he
contradicted himself. Just before ho
said that "reason is tho result of experi
rience." Mr. Ingersoll knows very well
that reason is the "soul" or intellect It
self in conscious action; therefore it can
not be its own "intellectual capital," or
it3 "only light and guide," if it bo "the
result of an experience." What "lights"
and "guides" the soul while it is exper
iencing? Reason? No; for he says that
reason is tho result of experience. A re
sult is an effect, and an effect cannot go
before its own cause. But Mr. Ingersoll
in'his flight of poetic imagination must
not be bound by the petty ties that or
dinary mortals dare not ignore without
risk of being proved untrustworthy.
"Not until tho destruction of Jerusa
salem," says Mr. Ingersoll, "was there a
Jewish sculptor or painter." Is it poss:
ble? Then, Mr. Ingersoll, who "sculped"
and painted tho temple of Jerusalem?
Who made those grand ornaments? Who
fashioned the cherubim that adorned the
ark of the covenant?
"Moses made a mistake in tho tenth
commandment in putting women on an
equality with other property," As a law.
yer Mr, Ingersoll is probably cognizant
of the fact that the relative nature of
persons and things protected by law is
not measured by the law that protects
them. A law may forbid murder and
theft without placing them on the same
plane. Here, in Clatsop county, the law
forbids alike the stealing of fifty cents
and five hundred dollars. Does the law
put these sums on an exact equality?
No; for it sends the fif ty-cent thief to
jail, and the more ambitious fellow to
Salem maybe. The great criminal code
of the Jewish nation condemned the
wife-stealcr to death, while he who stole
an ox was required to return it and pay
n fine. So that Mr. Ingersoll's little
point about that "mistake' of Moses
doesn't stand examination.
Mr. Ingersoll argues liko a man who
places considerable confidence in the cred
ibility or gullibility of his hearers,and im
agines that while a few who don't believe
anything that anyone says without good
reason, may investigate his statements,
others may tako his word for it. Still,
on the whole, Mr. Ingersoll exhibits
sound business principles. He supplies
tho demand; he says whnt people wnut
to hear (and charges 750 a night, pure
ly in the interests of reason" and
"truth.")
"For my part," says Mr. Ingersoll, "I
would rather be the slave than tho mas
ter." All right; everyone to his taste.
For our part we would rather be the
master than the slave; for, being the
master, we would have it in our power to
free the slave and cease to bo the master.
Mr. Ingersoll here has his choice between
imbecility or hypocrisy. He can choose
for himself
"Slavery includes all other crimes. It
is tho joint product of the kidnapper, pi
rate, thief, murderer, and hypocrite." So
says Mr. Ingersoll. No one more hearti
ly" agrees with Mr. I. than tho writer
regarding tho detestable character of
slavery, but see now Kouert twists him
self up. Ho says slavery "includes" all
other crimes, and is the ''joint product"
of them' How can it "include" nil other
crimesif it be the "joint product"of them.
A "product" Mr. ingersoll is an effect.
If slavery be a product of crimes it can
not include those crimes; for to include
them it must exist prior to them; and if
it exist prior to them, it cannot be a
Eroduct of them. Mr. Ingersoll either
as a bad memory, or elso he contem
plates writing a new dictionary.
Bob forgets one thing in his lectures,
viz.: that he hasn't got a monopoly.
Other people doubt and deny too, and
they don't caro whether it is a man in a
pulpit threatening them with damnation
unless they do so and so, or a man nt
Occidental hall saying smart things that
make people stamp and look around and
say. "That was good!" for nearly $100 an
hour; they don't care to believe unless he
convinces them. We look at Bob Inger
soll just us we do at any one else. If he
has anything to oner let nun come for
ward and say it; if it is good, all right;
if it is bad, why it is only one man's
opinion after all, but his saying it doesn't
make it so or not so.
The poetry part of it is all right. When
he stood thero last night and talked about
the "dreamless drapery of oternal rest,"
and all tho rest of it, it sounded good; but
every one has a book at home whore he
can "find better poetry in than ever Bob
Ingersoll thought or said. His poetic
utterances form a part of his business;
he spouted poetry in Washington when
ho was trying to clear tho Star route
thieves; he got off prettier poetrv then
than he did last night, because Dorse
paid him better for it than Portland or
Astoria can. If wo could toss $2,000 in
sight for to night, Bob would do better
by us than he did last night. That's all
nght.toe: every one who went to hear him
in Astoria went to hear him just because
it was Bob Ingersoll; if he was to come
here again, ho would ho no novelty, and
would have to hitch on with his equally
orthodox brother, Beecher, if ho wanted
to fill the hall. To-morrow night ho
talks in Olyropla.
Servants of the Stomach.
The new Governor General of Can
ada brought with him thirty-nine serv
ants. That seems a good many. But
even- stomach has more servants
than that. Lungs, liver, heart, arter
ies, veins, esophagus, kidneys ami njl
the rest of the party must be kept in
prime order if first-class service is
expected. Brown's Iron Bitters is
tho great regulator for all these. It
quiets them when m rebellion, and
keeps thom to their work when they
are lazy.
