A Ytvr EeuarLs About Tbe Actorizn aad
Ot'tsr Xrn-sptpcr?.
Tks Astosiax is twelve years old. It
has seen Astoria grow from a Httlo fish
ing hamlet to iho second city hi the state
in population, wealth and influence. It
has kept steady pace with Astoria, grow
ing as the community has grown who
give it their generous support and its
proprietors may be pardoned for saying
that it has kept pace with tho growth of
the city: it is believed to be fully up to
the requirements of the situation and is at
least as good a paper as any published in
any community with a similar amount of
English speaking psople in the United
States.
The yearly improvements in Tit:: As
tosiax have been noted and commended
by all and it is tho hop of those who
work for its success that it will continue
to be the exponent of Astoria's condition.
Yithoat any intent to say other than
that which any one can see'for himself it
may be said that two daily papers can
not live and prosper in Astoria. The
place isn't large enough; there are not
enough people here to make it possible.
Two half-starved miserable concerns
may eko out a wretched existence, but a
newspaper to bo what it3 name implies

say what should be said without having

who has to stand with his hat in his .

given just the same amount of resp&ct

Tho newspaper business is just Iiko

itor of the Orcgonian has moro power
than any other man on this coast north
of San Francisco and that goes a good
way sometimes. The Orcgonian comes
about as near being an independent pap
er as any m tho United btates. It is a
little crotchety now and then and occa
sional' loses 'its dignity in descending
to personal allusions, but no journal is
perfect and the general tenor of its
course, the general tone of its remarks
and the prestigo it deservedly enjoys
givo it u standing that is the secret en
vy of its state contemporaries. Somo
day when its present proprietors are re
membered only as other pioneers are re
membered tho Oregonian will bo a great
paper.
How some newspapers in this stale ex
ist is ono of tho things that seems im
possible to explain. With no advertis
ing patronage, no circulation, no stand
ing at home or abroad, they linger along
week after week, and a whole year's is" I
sue will not furnish o single item worth
stealing.
In concluding these rambling remarks
which are kindry meant, and we trust as
kindly taken, Tun Astomak on its
twelfth birthday thanks the community
that give it lifo for their cordial support,
and hopes as each succeeding 3'ear rolls
rouud to be able to point to tho substan
tial growth and prosperity of the seaport
of Oregon.

SECRET SOCIETT SKELETONS.
A Rcsnlar Tart of tbe Regalia Dealer's Stoei.
The most successful initiation cere
mony that I ever saw in a collego secret
society was ono that was popular at an
Ohio school until an accident happened.
Then part of it was dropped. That part
was a skeleton."
Tho speaker was a dealer in society re
galia. Ho centinued:
"We were initiation a sturdy young fel
low who said he didn't believo in spirits
or anything supernatural and this is how
we did it: Ho was stripped to tho waist,
one foot was bare, and ho was carefully
blindfolded. Then we led him into tho
darkened lodgo-room, where two guards
grasped his arms firmly. As they led
him slowly around tho room one of them
said, in a melancholy veice: My friend
for I cannot yet call you brother tho
journey of life is before you. Consider
it. Life is what wo make it, but trials
must come, and sorrow and distress.
Look well to your pathway.' "
"That injunction was rather aggrava
ting to n man who was blindfolded and
led by two strong companions who were
guiding him to n short, smooth plank
rising at an angle of forty-five degrees.
'Man rises suddenly in life,' said tho
guido as tho victim stumbled up tho
plank to a hassock placed on edge, which
rolled away and let" him sit down on the
floor."
'He was picked up and led on as the
uuide said: 'The path may bo smooth
for a timc bnt obstructions uro sura to
e across it, and then tho victim stum
bled lengthwise over a ladder supported
three inche3 above tho carpet, while his
conductors moaned in unison. 'Even
when iu troublo himself he may be called
upon fo help a brother, nnd this ho
should do to the utmost,' said the guide,
who helped himself to tho victim's
pocket-book. 'Last of all comes death.
He is terrifying at best, but should it
be vonr fate to meet him alone show
yourseii a man, tor a crown awaits you
er s skeleton.
'Do regular business secret societies
use skeletons in their ceremonies?"
" Certainly. There are several societies
that use them. "Wo keep them in stock
constantly. They are packed in half
length cases, inado of pino or walnut, and
are shipped by express all over tho coun
try." "Somo skeletons ara plntn, with steel
articulations, nnd whero thero is likely
to be no strain tho hinge may be made of
silver. Some of these high priced skelet-
ons nro carefully polished, and gliston in J mense crop which now seema to bo as
the light of tho lodge room. Fino cases onrp.1
j go with high priced goods." j

catacombs of the old country. There is
no tariff to protect home 'industry in
skeletons, and we can import them

Ths Terrible Experience of the Bark TV. II.
Besse.
Tho ship W. H. Besse, Captain Gibbs,
which is tied alongside "Welch, Eithet fc
Co.'s wharf at Victoria, passed through a
terrible experience during tho earthquake
and eruption that visited tho island of
Java on August 27th, 1SS3. Capt. Gibbs
allowed a reporter of tho Colonist to ab
stract a few notes from his log in refer
ence to tho matter. The vessel was on r.
vovage from Manila to Boston, and was
under sail between the islands of Batavia
and Java at the time of the terrible
disaster. Suddenly there was a quick
succession of heaTy reports similar to the
broadside of a man-of-war, only deeper,
during the night. "When off St. Nicholas
point, most terrific reports wero heard
and a heavv black bank was observed to
rise up from the direction of liiakato is
land. Tho barometer fell an inch at a
jump, rising and falling quickly iu this
extraordinary manner, such was the ac
tion of tho atmosphere. All hands wero
called on deck, and sail secured just be
fore tho squall Btruck the vessel with ter
rific force. The anchors wero let go, the
wind increasing to a hurricane, tho day
becoming darker, until at noon it was
blacker than tho darkest midnight. A
heavy shower of ashes came with the
squall, making tho air so thick that it
was difficult to breathe, whilo a strong
smell of sulphur prevailed, all hands ex
pecting to bo suffocated. The scene was
an awful one, forked lightning ran along
tho sky making tho darkness more in
tense, tho wind howling madly through
tho rigging, and tho sailors thought the
last day had surely come. The water
was running through tho straits at 18
miles an hour towards the volcano.
At 4 p. M. tho wind moderated, tho ex
plosions only occurred at long intervals,
and tho horrid shower of ashes, similar
to pumice stone, and fino as flour, les
sened. Tons of it covered the ship, sails
and rigging wero coated with it, sticking
so hard that weeks wero consumed in re
moving it. A littlo still adheres to tho
backstays.
All day Tuesday tho men wero em
ployed in shoveling tho ashes from the
decks, cleaning cables and rigging, and
rigging, and on "Wednesday afternoon
tho vessel got under way, sailing cau
tiously along, with reefed sails, and see
ing no lights or sign of lifo on shore. A
fair wind prevailod, but it was not known
to what extent tho upheavals of nature
had interfered with tho passage through
the straits.
The water wascovered with trees, dead
bodies, fish nnd thousands of green coca
nuts. Open sea was at last reached and
for GOO miles was covered with ashes
from tho volcano. A number of tho
sailors wero taken ill with Java fever
and one died, leaving only five to man
tho vessel. Tho patients did not recover
when port was reached, and were sent to
the hospital, whero another died.
During the progress of the event a
sailor walked off tho forward house and
wa3 so severely injured that ho died
shortly after reaching Boston.
The experience was an awful one and
officers and men wero stricken with fear
at the terriblo sight, nnd glad they were
that they had beon spared from the sad
fate that overtook, so- many thousands
during the Java disaster.
