Notice To Advertisers. The Astoria?! snarantees to its ad vertisers the largest circulation of any newspaper published on the Columbia river. The Ladies Guild of Grace chuch will hold their recular meeting to-day at 2:30 p. M. The East Portland city council has levied a city tax of Fix mills for the cur rent year. About twenty feet of the Clatsop mill was blown off by the wind at an early hour yesterday morning. The brilliant execution of the Misses Scblussel on the piano at Occidental hall last evening elicited a merited encore. A resolution providing for a prohibito ry amendment to the constitution passed the house last Mondav by a voto of 39 to 19. It is said that there are nine men in the legislature who did not travel to Sa lem on a railroad pass. Nine is a good many. Lotan t Henderson, of the Willamette Iron "Works, have sold their interest in the Coeur d'Alene steamboat lino for 20,000. The funeral of the late Mr. Conrad Boelling took place from Grace church at two o'clock yesterday afternoon and despite the storm was largely attended. H. A. B. "Williams, the agent of the Katie Putnam comedy company, now playing in Portland, writes that that talented little lady will be in Astoria next week. John T. Cannon, an Astoriak employe, received a novelty from his parent state of Maine yesterday in the shape of blot ters made of spruce and poplar. The poplar fiber makes an excellent pad. Prof. A. Ij. Francis, the well known tuner, arrived here last evening and will be found at the Occident hotel for the next two weeks. All orders for tuning or repairing will receive prompt atten tion. The Pertluhirc has finished loading. She has 227 bbls flour, 7,733 centals wheat and 11:890 cases salmon. The Uri. I). Seed will finish to-daj. The Janet Mc Neil is discharging her cargo in fine con edition. The ladies of the Congregational church will hold a social Faiday'evening, at the residence of Mrs. Capt. I. Stevens. A musical programme will be rendered and a pleasant time is assured all who attend. The Welcome thinks that if the Repub licans at Salem don't look out the Dem ocrats will buy eight Republican legisla tors, with promises of office, and elect ono of their party to the senate. That was the programme three weeks age: but it isn't now. Deputy Sheriff Moffitt returned yester day from a trip to Clatsop. "While there ho attended two dances and also a debate on the question, "Which has the most in fluence over man woman or money?" It was decided by a large majority that wo man had, such decision being eminently correct. The. fine play of '-Michael Strogoff" was presented to an appreciative audience last evening. The play is essentially a spectacular one, and while the troupe did it as full justice as the circumstances would perniir, it was evident that the lack of scenic effects and stage acces sories marred the realistic rendition. Wero the company to remain another night and play "Under the Gaslight," they would have a crowded house. The troupe leaves for the Sound this morning. What promises to be a lively suit comes up in the justice court to-morrow. It seems that certain parties at Clifton be ing refused credit for beer, undertook to clean out the saloon; that in the cleaning out they were roughly handled; that upon they being arrested thoy had the party of the first part arrested for selling liquor without n license. Just what this has to do with Astoria precinct is not quite clear. Anyhow, the case comes up to-day, when no doubt outraged justice will be" vindi cated. An emxiloye of the Bible society who has been distributing the scriptures in Portland, says that in calling on various families in that city he found 7C3 Roman Catholic families, 332 Methodist Episco pal, 285 Protestant Episcopal, ISO Luther an, 139 Hebrew and Jewish, 123 Congre gational, 121 Baptist, 82 Unitarian, CO families of the Christian church, 3 fam ilies of the Evangelical Association, 15 Gorman Reformed and 9 United Breth ren, 9 Adventists; Friends or Quakers 5, Church of Sea and Land, 3: also 1 Mor mon and 1 Buddhist, Seth Green, the veteran fish culturist of the United State3, to whom the people are largely indebted as a pioneer in ono of the economic industries of the coun try, has concluded to place his practical experience in fish hatching and fish rais ing, covering over a quarter of a century, at the disposal of all who fool an inter est therein. With this object in Tiew, he has become the editor of the Fish Cul ture Department of the American Angler of Now York, and in that capacity will be pleased to respond editorially to all queries germane to the subject of fish culture. The chamber of commerce held a spe cial meeting last evening to discuss the amendments to the city charter sent some time ago to Salem and which passed the senate The amended charter pre sented by the city council shortly after ward, has passed the house. As each measure has passed ono branch of the legislature honors appear to be .easy so far. In the senate yesterday Dorris moved that the council bill be read the third time; the motion was lost. Reed then moved that the matter be referred to the committee on corporations, which was agreed to, and there the matter stands at present. A cry of fire and a general alarm last night about 950 was caused by a defect ive flue in the house of "Wm. Uhlenhart, which was promptly extinguished with, fortunately, very little damage. This was the first fire alarm in Astoria this year. 1 x. ai: The fire again broke out at midnight, and despite the utmost ef forts of those in the vicinity, the house was partially destroyed. The de partment got to the fire as soon as the nature of the ground would permit. The furniture and personal effects were saved. The building was insured in the Lion of London for $1,000, and the fur niture in tho Hamburg and Breman for $1,100. COUNTY COURT FROCEEDIXCS.

Tho witty paragrapher and the funny man of the newspapers have recently struck a now lead in recounting the amusing mistakes which may occur by operators giving the wrong parly to a subscriber, or switching off some one who has begun a conversation and connect ing him with others who are talking. A sample story is about a customer who rang up his butcher to inquire what he had put on the last sausage sold him. Before the butcher could respond the operator disconnected him, and the customer was let into a conversation be tween two men about a well which had just been cleaned, and the one who was talking was relating what lie hau found in it. The customor only heard "two dead cats, three rats, and' when he threw down tho telephone in horror, and tho agonies of a cholera patient were en dured by him for tho next hour. Anoth er tells of how a young lady was shocked by having unknown to her, a butcher boy's account of tho slaughtering of a calf switched in upon a young men's de scription of a runaway in which a mutual young lady friend was concerned. In tho midst of the account the lady listen er heard a hoarse voice say, "I then cut her throat, grabbed her by the leg and ' and a dead swoon prevented her hearing the conclusion. A mistake not exactly of this kind, but still a pretty good sample of amusing er-J rors which may occur, is reported from the office of a gentleman in Portland, and as its truth is vouched for it is addition ally interesting. A young business man rang up, calling for a gentleman friend. The operator mistook tho number, and a lady s voice answered, "Hello, what do yon want?"' "Well, who aro you?" "I'm G4." "You're too old. I want 17.' Tableau. Anuoiuiccxueiit. .lames P.

ETJLAOHON." COLTORJA. RIVER UERRIXG SOUTH. Cnrlons Uses of tbe Mallotcs Paelfles or Candle Fish." "Turn out the gas," said a collector of curiosities, who had just returned from an extended trip, "and I'll show you something now in tho way of illumina tion.' The speaker had unrolled from a thick bundle of Chinese paper several objects that had an ancient and fish-like smell, and thrusting one of them into a brass candlestick after tho writer had turned off the gas ho lighted a match and touched it to the end of the object. A moment later a clear, yellow light illum ined the room. "Yes, it's a fish," said the collector, in reply to a question. Just take this paper and read a line or so, and bo one of tho few who have read by the light of a dead herring." The writer did so, and found that he could read with the greatest ease, the light being equal to that of an ordinary candle. THE CAXDLK FISH. "Yes, it is curious,' continued the nat uralist, "but nothing when you get usedjto it. I've got so that if I should see a man use himself as a candle I shouldn't bo much surprised. But this idea of using fish is a queer one. I first observed it when I was on the north shore of British Columbia. I made a trip all through tho country for the purpose of obtaining a skeleton of the rare rhytina that was killed off about a hundred years ago, and if I didn't find that, I ran into some oth er curious things well worth knowing. I had lived in an Indian village nearly a week before I heard anything about the candle fish, and one beautiful moonlight night was standing on the beach when I saw something that appeared exactly like me reueciion oi mo rauuu, uuiy il wan m the wrong direction. I called tho atten tion of a native, who was not f?r off, to it. and immediately it seemed to throw him into the greatest excitement. Ho Bang out "Eulachon!" asloudasho could, and in a few moments at least fifty men were on the beach launching their ca noes. There was so much confusion that I could not learn what was the matter, but I tumbled into ono of the canoes and off wo went." "There wero two men In all tho boats but ours, I making tho third. One sat in the stern and paddled whilo the other stood in the bow with a curious instru ment in his hand that until now I had not observed. It looked like an enormous rake or comb made of a piece of pine at least eight feot long, with a hole for a hand grip at the top, tho lower part thin ning off to pn edge, into which was driv en Bharp iron or bone teeth from three to four inches apart, so that the weapon resembled a great comb held by tho back. Its use was soon evidont, and 1 saw that it was an arrangement for fishing. The ripple I had seen on the water was an enormous school of fishes, called by tho natives eulachon, and to surround them now seemed to bo tho chief object." A GRAXD FISn HUNT. "Tho canoes wero swiftly paddled out until they were all upon tho outside and then they rushed at them full speed, oach man wielding his comb-like scoop and dashing it into tbe sparkling mass that gleamed like silver, and at every stroke, so thick were the fishes, that the teeth of the comb came up covored with their im paled forms. These were quickly jerked into the boat and another dash made, and so on until the school was finally driven in shore, where the excited natives leaped into tho water knee deep in the throng, and fairly scooped them into their canoes, whero their vivid phosphor escence made thenl look liko molten gold. The school seemed so terrified and de moralized that they hugged the shore, and if the men had' had nets instead of thoso outlandish combs they could have captured millions where they only took thousands. Tho boats were rapidly filled, however, and in an hour tbe excitement was over, and tho canoes were hauled by the exhausted fishermen upon the beach. In tha morning they were emptied on tho shore and the catch handed over to the squaws, who took the entire matter of curing in hand. They seated themselves about their respective pike and, taking sticks pointed at tho end, rapidly strung tho fish up on them by piercing them through the eyes. Cross-pieces wero then placed upon them to prevent their falling off, after which they were taken by chil dren and placed in the smoko at the top of their sheds. "No, there was no cleaning or scaling at nil; they were exactly as they came out of the water. When thoroughly dried they have a flavor of wood smoke, and then arc taken and packed in large frails, made of cedar bark and rushes of various kinds. Now they are stowed away on a scaffolding made of high poles, and are not touceed until cold weather, as they form a winter supply, or cache The natives call them, in our tongue, the candle fish, and tb.6y not only eat them, but uso 'them to burn, as I havo shown you. Previous to this catch I had had no light, but after, I luxuriated in a can dle every night; and wrote my reports and took my notes all by tho light of tho eulachon. Tho little fish --seems fairly bubbling over with oil, so much so that I tried to fry one, and, turning away for a few moments, I returned to find tho back and other bones jumping around in a lot of fat: -the flesh had melted and actually turned into oil. You can squeeze it out of them, and you havo no idea of its value to those people. The oil is a medicine; as fuel it keeps them warm, gives them light and is a healthy food in its dried state. When eaten, they are swallowed bones and all, or are partly melted. A candle fish is given to a child to suck on, just as we would give it a stick of candy hero. When they burn them they take a pointed stick, in sert it in tbe ground and make a slit in the other end. into which a candle fish is thrust and lighted. There is no trim ming or smoking, and when tho light is no longor needed it is blown out and tho remainder of the candle eaten; so there is no loss, you see, in these dips. Some times the fish aro extremely abundant, and the surnlus aro nil mntln nn nil which is used for a variety of purposes by the natives. OIL STOEED IK A STALK. "What do they stow it in? Well, nat ure again comes to tho rescue, and they go to the ocean for their bottles as well as their oil. One of tho great sea-weeds that grow off tho coast has a hollow stock that is about as large as a champaigne bottle. These are cut into lengths hold ing three pints or more and filled with oil when fresh and make perfect bottles." Tho candle fish is allied to the smelt and is known scientifically as the mallo tus pacificus. In former days it was found in tho vicinity of British Colum bia in vast quantities. The Columbia river, from tho bay past Astoria to tho Cowlitz is said to have been a famous place for them, but the factories and the steamers have gradually driven them off, iso that now there aro only a few places comparatively speaking, where great numbers can be found "There is only one thine.'- continued tho speaker, "in tho way of fish that I J have ever seen to beat this, and that was in Africa, where they uso a live hsh as a doctor. Yes, instead of sending for a doctor they would send after this fish, i and I don't know but that there was about as much sense in it as there is in a i good many of our nostrums. I first no- iiceu mis peculiar cure on me oiu -uiua-bar river, where I went severol years ago on a collecting tour. I was awakened ono night by dreadful groans and cries, and getting up to see what the trouble was, l learned that a child in the adjoining hut had been taken sick. LTpou oing in to see if I could do anything, I found tho women filling a great basin with water. into this was placed a cattish, the one we know as malapterus electrious, that they took from a gourd that served as an aquarium, and into the water they then forced the child, making it pick up the 4fl 'Pl4- - VAiAiinrl cti ( (r?t- rl a ' evident, as it dropped it and yelled all the louder; but the women made it again take hold of tho fish, and whether it did anv good or not I am unablo to say, but the child soon stopped crying and seemed better. Possibly tho lisu benumbed it. "Then it was electric?" said tho writer. "Certainly,' was tho reply. "The fish was tho common electric catfish, common in African river, when first taken thoy give quUo a powerful shock, something liko that received from theso street ma chines, and when examined they fhow quite a complicated battery. homcise in a nsn. "Tho next morning," continued tho speaker, "I made somo inquiries and I iound mat tno catnsn was a son or Ain can soothing syrup and given to babies quite regularly, or any ono olso who hap pened to need a dose. As soon as a na tive child began to complain, a tub or vessel of water was brought out and sev eral of tho fish caught if they were not on band and tho child made to get in and play with tho fish. Not only do they do this to cure tho sick, but iff some tribes tho mother, when washing their infants in tho morning invariably make them take a shock by touching the fish. This, they said, mado tho baby grow to a strong ftaftm. The children, however, objected to it, and tho squalling and screaming when the little fishes wero brought out was something nppalling. The children are also made to drink the water in which tho fish havo been, and, finally the fish itself is eaten, so that tho remedy is a vGritablo cure-all, and can be taken ex ternally or internally, as the case may be. 'It is curious to uoto that the old Greeks and Bomans usod tho torpedo in in the samo way, and even tho water that surrounded it was supposed to con tain the means of miraculous cure.
