A certain Portland hotel-keeper says
"it doesn't pay to run a first-class

Tho annual picnic of the Presbyterian
Sunday school will bo at Smith's point

the picnic will bo postponed.
From tho beach comes the story that
certain gilded youths from Portland who
started to dig clams found that a tido
table was a necessary adjunct. To dig
clams at flood tide is a hard job.
People say that watermelons this year
give one the ague. Not in Astoria they
won't. No one has anything like ague
in Astoria, and you can fill up on tho
festive watermelon with impunity.
Considerable effort has been exerted to
make to-night's concert a success. Pure
Iv as a matter of business tho concert is
worth considerably more than tho price
of admission and the ability of the per
formers should insure a full house.
In a part of China, during tho mon
soon season, they have gambling shop3
whero tho betting-is whether or not rain
will fall within a certain time. From
the racket in Chinatown last evening it
would seem that this game was being
played in Astoria.
Tho Xews reports tho discovery of
"very rich gold quartz" near north Yam
hill, and says "some of tho oro is so rich
as to be almost puro galena." Tho thing

quartz as there is between putty and
molasses.

To clean out the reservoir, J. "V. Welch
yesterday turned on the supply from
Bear River direct to the main pipe3.
Should a break occur while tho hill res
ervoir is being cleaned it would take
some time to repair and it might bo well
for consumers to keep a quart or so on
hand for contingencies.
Parties just arrived from Port Or
.ford report widespread and destructive
fires in that region. A large quantity of
Port Orford cedar cut and ready for
market has been destroyed, and consider
able general loss entailed. As Port Or
ford cedar is held at 27 a thousand, a
fire among it is a costly thing.
Talking of "The Privato Secretary,"
the New York Mail and Express says,
"in the extremely clever and artistically
acted version presented in the Madison
Square Theater Co., it is ono of the most
laughable things ever seen on the stage."
The same company appear at Ross' opera
house next Monday evening in the same
play which ran 200 nights at their New
York theater. Reserved seats at Carl
Adler's.
To walk around alive and thus savo
funeral expenses is, doubtless, a matter
of economy. Timo was when it used to
be cheaper to die, but the difference in
the prico of vegetables, etc., makes it
more profitable, purely as a matter of
economy, to keep the undertaker out of
a job as long as possible. At least that
is tho reason a prominent citizen assign
ed yesterday for remaining this sido of
the shadowy river.
Notwithstanding The Astoman warned
everybody about tho notorious fakir
Vogel yesterday morning, who had ar
rived m town tuo nigut uotoro, no iounu
a dozen suckers yesterday who contrib
uted $2.50 each to his game. The only
wav to beat that fellow is to let him
alone. He is tho slickest and sharpest of
the wholo gang. One of the minnows
who bit at the hook yesterday was squeal
ing about "the city council giving him a
license." They did just right in giving
him a liconsc. He ought to have one
right along. He pays ten dollars a day
for it, and it's worth that to find out how
many consummate idiots thero aro in
town.
A newsDaoer works for its own tewn:
does something to build up the place;
keep3 things alive; advances tho interests
of all who live in tho place; draws trade;
put 8 money in the pockets of the busi
ness men, and adds to the well-being and
prosperity of all. By some this is appre
ciated. SVide-awake, liberal-minded men
reciorocate bv eiving tho paper their
patronage. Occasionally may be found
individuals, whose soul woum
have
as much room In a groin of sand as a
salmon in tho Columbia river, who prefer
to spongo oil their neighbors, p:c np
what they can from what is drawn to
the place by enterprising neighbors, and
pay nothing for it.
The third annual catatogue of tho Oro

is to hand. It is full of information
concerning tho normal school and its re

seven professors and teachers. There
were 202 students tho past year and 17
candidates for graduation in the different
departments. The normal graduates re
ceivo diplomas from the state authorizing
them to teach in any public school in tho
state without further examination. Tho
course of study is full and practical.
Tho expenses arc less than at most

of which this county is entitled to one.

II A KOTO I'AV DEBTS WITHOUT 310X111".
Considerable difficulty has been found
in collecting road tax, poll tax, etc, from
departing fishermen this season, which
is not to bo wondered at. "When men
can't or won't pay tho grocer, tho board
ing House keeper and tho man that fitted
them out or kept them through the dull
season, it is to bo expected that they will
dodge any form of taxation if it is possi
ble. And vet thero are two sides to the
question. A good many
fishermen
worked hard and faithfully all through
the season that has just closed and have
nothing to show for it. bomo of them
onby succeeded in lightening a littla the
burden of debt that was on their shoul
ders when they started in. The books of
tho canneries show in many places where
after the wholo season's work $1.7., or $2,
or $3.50 i3 all that is due a man. This is
rough on tho man himself and it is rough
on him who put up for him. As an in
stance may be mentioned ono restaurant
keeper in the second ward who boarded
and lodged thirteen men ever since last
February. On tho 1st of the month
there was about $20 coming to lho whole
baker's dozen. They wanted to go to
San Francisco, and though they owed
him for board all spring and summer,
tho restaurant man, in tho b?nevo!enc
of his heart, gave ten of them 10 apiece
to pay for a stoerago ticket lo San 1 ran
cisco. To somo this would look like
throwing good money aftsr bad lo give
these men 100 in coin after feeding
them for nothing all summer; probabby
he thought that that was the best way to
insuro their coming back again next
April in tho hopo of making enough lo
settle up all tho old scons. It is to be
hoped that tho restaurant man's gener
osity will have its just reward. Certain
it is that on tho part of a good many
fishermen nothing but their inability to
pay keeps t-hem from squaring their ac
counts. THK WJI. 11. KESSL'.

When Tiic Astobian started in lo get
tho Astoria land grant forfeited it was
wo! I awaro the job was a big one, but
supposed after the forfeituro bill bad
passed congress last January that that
settled it. However, it took six mouths
to get from "Washington out hero tho
official notification, and now comes "your
orator," It. Koehler, receiver or tho Urc
gon and California H:ilroad company,
and appears before Judge Dcady with a
petition asking leave lo file a bill for an
injunction against L. T. Burin, register
and receiver of tho Oregon City land
office, to restrain that official from allow
ing tho filing of applications by home
stead and pro-emption claims upon odd
sections of land lying within the limits
of twenty-five miles of Forest Grove and
to tho north and west of that place.
Of course tho petition was granted, and
the next thing will bo tho filing of an in
junction to restrain h. T. J Sarin from
doing what he was instructed to do by
tho commissioner of the general land
office at Washington.

During lho season of '34 Oregon

bar to San Francisco, 4,112 barrels flour
and 80,797 centals wheat to bo there re
shipped across the sea. All theso thous

" Judge," Eaid a yopng lawyer to
a very successful senior, "Tell me
the secret of your uniform success at
the bar."
"Ah, young man, that secret is a
life study, but I will give it to you on
condition that you pay all my bills
during this session of court."
"Agreed, sir," said the junior.
" E v i d e n c e, indisputable evi
dence." At the end of the month tho judge
remindedthe young man of his prom
ise. '
" I recall no such promise."
" Ah, but you made it."
"Your evidence, please? "
And the judge, not having any
witnesses, lost a case for once !
The man who can produce indls
putablc evidence wins public favor.
1 had an interview yesterday with the
most successful of American adver
Users, whose advertising is most suc
cessful because always backed by
evidence.
"What styles of advertising do you
use?" I asked II. II. Warner, Esq.
Display, reading matter, and par
ngraphs of testimonials."
"Have you many testimonials?"
In answer he showed me a large
cabinet chock-full. ""We have
enough to fill Boston, New York,
Chicago, St. Louis, and Philadelphia
morning papers."
" Do you publish many of them? "
"Not a tithe. Wonderful as are
thoso wo do publish, wo have thou
sands like them which we cannot use.
'Why not?' Let mo tell you.
'Warner's Safe Cure' has probably
been lho most successful medicine for
female disorders ever discovered.
We have testimonials from ladies ol
the highest rank, but it would be in
delicate to publish them. Likewise
mam statesmen, lawyers, clorgymen,
doctors of world-wide fame have been
cured, but we can. only refer to such
persons in tho most guarded terms,
as wc do in our reading articles."
"Are these reading articles suc
cessful?" "When read, they make such an
impression that when the ' evil days '
of ill health draw nigh they are re
membered, and Warner's Safe Cure
is used."
" No, sir, it is not necessary now,
as at first, to do such constant and
extensive advertising. A meritori
ous medicine sells itself after its mer
its aro known. We present just evi
dence enough to disarm skeptics and
to impress the merits of the remedies
upon now consumers. We feel it to
be our duty to do this. Hence, heal
lo accomplish our mission of healing
the sick, we have to use the readings
article style. People won't read plain
testimonials."
"Yes, sir, thousands admit that
had they not learned of Warner's
Safe Cure through this clever style
they would still be ailing and still i'm
poverishing themselves in fees to un
successful practitioners. It would
do 3'our soul good to read tho letters
of thanksgiving we get from mothers
grateful for the perfect success
which attends Warner's Safe Cuie
when used for children, and tho sur
prised gratification with which men
and wemn of older years and im
paired vigor, testify to the youthful
feelings restored to them by the same
means."
"Are these good effects perma
nent? "
" Of all the cases of kidney, liver,
urinary, and female diseases wc have
cured," not two per cent, of them re
port a return of their disorders. Who
else can show such a record? "
"What is tho secret of Warner's
Safe Cure permanent! reaching so
many serious disorders?"
" 1 will explain by an illustration :
The little town of Plymouth, Pa.,
has been plague-stricken for several
months because its water supply was
carelessly poisoned. Tho kidneys
and liver are the sources of physical
well-being. If polluted by disease,
all tho blood becomes poisoned and
every organ is affected and this great
danger threatens every one who neg
lects to treat himself promptly. I
was nearly dead myself of extreme
kidney disease, but what is now War
ner's Safe Cure cured me, and I know
it is tho only remedy in tho world
that can cure such disorders, for I
tried everything else in vain. Cured
by it myself, Ifcought it, and, from a
sense of duty, presented it to the
world. Only by restoring the kidnevs
and liver can disease leave the blood
and the system."
A celebrated sanitarian physician
once said to me, "The secret of tho
wonderful success of Warner's Safe
Cure is that it is sovereign over all
kidney, liver, and urinary diseases,
which primarily or secondarily make
up the majority of human ailments.
Like all great discoveries it is re
markably simple."
The house of H. II. Warner & Co.
stands deservedly high in Rochester,
and it is certainly matter of congrat
ulation that merit has been recognized
all over the world, and that this suc
cess has been unqualifiedly deserved.

A STARTLING FACT.
The next timo it is undertaken to move
tho national capital to the geographical
center of the United States duo consider
ation must be given to the statement
made on Tuesday evening by Professor
James Denman, in a lecture before the
Geographical Society.of tho Pacific. The
professor remarked that he had long
been puzzled about the term "out west,"
as it is used in theso United States, until
ho once found a surveyor's monument on
tho Rocky mountains, bearing tho in
scription which denoted it to be the east
and west center of this country. He had
sinco been doing a little figuring on the
proposition himself, with special refer
ence to data gathered on his recent trip
to Alaska, a part of tho territory of the
United States. Maino is 70 deg. west,
Greenwich meridian; San Francisco is
122. deg. west, and the extreme western
point of Alaska Territory is 187J deg.
west, so that the truo east and west cen
ter of the United States becomes located
at a point 250 miles west of San Fran
cisco, out in tho Pacific ocean. Thero
may bo somo sort of a paradox contained
in tho proposition, owing to the fact that
the point designated as tho center of tho
United States is not in tho United States
at all, but so the caso was put by the
learned professor last evening, and none
of tho assembled geographists said him
nay.
Now that this interesting fact has been
thus scientifically demonstrated, StLouis
must givo up, onco for all, its absurd
claim to being 'tho geographical oenter
of tho country, and no timo should bo
lost in laying deep and firm tho founda
tions of tho future White house on tho
loftiest crag of tho Farallonesv-S. F.

IT IS A GOOD PLAT.
Regarding "Tho Privato Secretary,'
which will bo presented in this city next
Monday by tho Madison Square Theater
Company, from New York, including "W.
H. Gillette, M. A. Kennedy, and others,
the Savannah (Ga.) Neics speaks of it in
this manner:
It is as much a pleasure to commend a
good play as it is to witness it. "Tfco
Private Secretary" is a good play. It is
well worth seeing. It advertises itself.
Thoso who saw it fast night would doubt
less like lo see it again, and thoy would
liko their friends to see it. It is very
funny, but thewris nothing coarse about
it. Therein lies ono of its chief charms.
Tho fun begins soon after tho curtain
rises on tho llrst act, and it continues un
til the end is reached. "Tho Privato
Secretary" is tho character who
makes all lho fun, and yot ho
doesn't seem to- enjoy it himself.
In fact, ho doosn't seem to know that
ho is tho occasion of amusement. He
looks upon himself as a pretty badly
used individual. Thero are two private
secretaries a genuine one and a falso
ono. The falso one, who is a gay young
spendthrift about town, and who has a
rich uncle who has just returned from
India, upon whom ho wishes to make a
good impression, personates the truo one.
The sccuo of tho main port of tho play
is in a gentleman's country houso whera
thoro aro two very pretty girls who un
derstand tho art of flirting remarkably
well. The falso secretary, in order to
preserve his identity, gets tho truo secre
tary into a good many amusing positions
and laughable scrapes. Tho rich undo
takes tho genuine secretary to bo his
nephew, and as tho genuine secretary is
very pious and very temperate, and as
tho rich undo believes in a young man
sowing his wild oats, they do not get on
well together. In fact, their manner of
getting on is one of tho side-splitting
features of tho farce. Tho play is finely
mounted. Tho Madison Square people,
howevor, always put their plays on the
stage in good shape. Another thing they
look after is that they select capable peo
ple to present their plays. All tho char
acters in "Tho Private Secretary" aro
well represented. Reserved seals at
