The Unusual Stir Caused In King
ston, Sew York. I
Special Correspondence Boston Globe.
The letter I recently wrote the Globe
describing a remarkable occurrence
which took place here has had the ef
fect of thoroughly awakening this com
munity. The facts, as described, -were
that Jere Smith, son of Corne -us B.
Smith of the
State Insurance
Department, af
ter passing
through, an ag
onizing ordeal,
and havinj: been
abandoned by
his friends, had
en most won-
erfully res
cued. His ex
perience was, in
its beginning at
beginning of the least, almost
end. the same as that
of hundreds of other men and women
in every city and town. He had gone
along thoughtlessly noticing only
occasional inconveniences, and had
suddenly been awakened to the fact
that death was staring him in the
face. He had overlooked little pass
ing troubles without realizing that
they are often "the beginning of the
end." He had neglected interests
that concerned his very life, just as
thousands of others do, simply be
cause they come in a quiet and often
unnoticed waj And it is cause for
gratitude that his experience is hav
ing so good and arousing an effect on
others who were drifting in the same
dangerous direction.
I was in the office of the Kingston
Freeman, one of the best interior
papers of the State, the other day,
andhadatalkwith W. H. Winton,
its popular manager. Quite naturally
the conversation drifted to Mr.
Smith's oase, and the stimulating ef
fect it was having on the people. Sir.
Wanton said :
"lean specially sympathize with
Mr. Smith fori have been through a
much similar experience in my own
family. My wife became troubled
and weakened, as so many women
dorand from small symptoms and
Deginnmgs grew worse until sue

try the same means which Mr. Smith
employed so successfully, and mv
wife is not in her grave, but in the
enjoyment of health wholly because
Hunt's Remedy rescued her. This is
a grand medicine and a large suffer
ing world, too often ignorant or
skeptical of its life saving, healthy
giving qualities, needs it."
"It iB certainly receiving wonderful
indorsements" lremarked. "Do yon
think it merits them."
"Every one of them. Why, when
my wife began using the remedy she
discovered the same medicine had
been given her by a physician some,
time ago without her knowing the
name of the medicine given at the
time. I can jalso prove that bushel
basketsful of empty bottles of Hunt's
Bemedy were taken out of a doctor's'
office after his death. No one sup-!
poses for a moment that the bottles
were used for desk ornaments or briol
a-brac, but the contents had undoufr
edly been given to patients in small
quantities at high prices. The medical
profession evidently knows no better
or more valuable remedy.' '
Mr. Cornelius B. Smith, the father
of Jere Smith, confirmed all the son
had said and
added : " I have
not words strong
enough to give
Hunt's Bemedy
the praise it merits,
and there are hun
dreds of others in
this city who feel
the same way."
Mr. Edwin H."
Fassett said that
the facts above
"town talk." given had been the
"town talk" of Kingston, and his aa
lertion was confirmed by William D.
Brenmer.
Messrs. Cooper and Winchell, who
are popular druggists, declare that
not only are all the facts abovefstated
true, but the demand for the remedy
is Bometninjr remarkable. It has be
come a household necessity here, as
it unaouDieaiy deserves to bo every

ASTORIA, OREGON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, J 887.
vTLLABD IK WALL STBEET.
New York, Sept. 1. Henry
Tillard is becoming a power in
Wall street. Yesterday, it is
stated, he completed the pur
chase of $6,000,000 worth of se
curities owned by the Oregon
Transcontinental company of the
German syndicate which he repre
sents. It is understood this sale
carries' with it an agreement that
Villard shall have a seat in the
Oregon Transcontinental directory,
and many people predict he will
soon again be the president of
the companies from which he re
signed. San Francisco, Sept. 1. A
New York special to the JExam
iner says: Henry Villard's reap
pearance on Wall street as a con
spicuous figure was a prominent
subject of conversation yesterday.
The eventful history of this re
markable man is a favorite theme
on the street; and he is pointed
out as a striking illustration of the
recuperative power of some men
of energetic natures. It is be
lieved that he will mostly enter
into the directories of the Oregon
& Transcontinental and Oregon
Railway & Navigation, and proba
bly of the Northern Pacific, and it
is not impossible that he may
resume his position as president of
the companies. Villard represents
German capital amounting to
millions of dollars, and a promi
nent broker said yesterday that
he probably had larger command
of ready capital than an' other
man on the street.
Sax Francisco, Sept. 1. A
local paper to-morrow will say:
Villard's Oregon & Transconti
nental deal is looked upon by
local railroad authorities as sinipty
an effort to boom Northern Pacific
stock. It is proposed by the Ore
gon & Transcontinental people,
who control a large block of stock
of the Northern Pacific, to inaugu
rate a "reform movement" in the
compauy, by which its chances for
revenue making will be greatly
improved. Elijah Smith is also
interesting himself in the deal, and
if the party succeeds there will
probably be a good demand for
shares in Northern Pacific this
falL The opposition to the move
ment is led by the directors, who
do not wish to be ousted at tl:i
coming election.
The Georgian and His Melon.
The true Georgia epicurean nev
er approaches a watermelon until
he has turned his back upon the
effete civilization of the city. The
slaughter of the melon represents
a sacrifice which is as much out of
place at a dinner table as a dish of
deviled crabs at a Sat3'r's feast.
It is an idyl of the fields that be
comes a very dreary thing, indeed,
robbed of its surroundings. The
preparations for the simple cere
mony are few. One must go into
the patch at early dawn, when the
dew on the grass is heavy enough
to wet his trousers nearly to the
knee, aud stealthily, even though
committing no trespass but if it
be a trespass, so much the better
remove a melon to the pellucid
bottom ol a spring. At about 11
o'clock, when the sun is high and
the heat is trembling along the
surface of the field, he should
quietly carry his prize over to a
snake fence under the shade of a
persimmon tree, and, having drawn
a jack-knife's blade only rind deep
longitudinally around "the melon,
thump the latter upon the top rnU
until the inner structure is rup
tured. A pious man will lift his
soul in prayer when the luscious
red interior, full of black eyes, is
exposed, but this is not usually
considered nocessary. The offici
ating priest then seats himself flat
aground and prepares for the final
ceremony. Never in his life does
a man feel the need of company
less than at suoh a moment. A
melon invariably divides with a
hollow in one half, and a great
bulging cliff of meat in the other.
If tbere.be company present, the
struggle that ensues between ap
petite and politeness scars the soul
beyond repair. No man living
ever tendered the fat ol the melon
to another aud reserved for himself
the hollow delusion but felt his
existence embittered. No, abso
lute solitude at this critical mo
ment is the greatest boon that can
be conferred; in fact, it is neces
sary to the harmonv of the idyl.
If he be.alone, the- epicure, as our
Boston friend would call him,
prys out hunks of red meat with
his knife and uses his fingers after
the nrimitive manner of the true
child of the soil to convey them to
his mouth, and as he eats, being
skilled, the black seeds drop from
the corner of his mouth upon the
bosom of the grand old mother
earth, and the mocking bird,
balanced upon the topmost branch
far above him, furnishes- the hid
den music for the feast. Jlacon,
Ga., Telegraph.
It is charged that man' thous
ands of dollars have been expend
ed out of the funds of the fish
commission, ostensibly for the ben
efit of the government, but really
for the benefit of Major b erguson,
who has succeeded in being sub
stantially accommodated by the
government in the manner of fill
ing up iow, marshy grounds and
leasing a worn-out steam 3'acht.
The conduct of C. C. Frost,
special timber agent, in shutting
down the sawmills near Tacoma,
W. T., is severely criticised at
Washington. Frost was appoint
ed to his present position about
two mouths ago and seems to Le
uninstructed in regulations made
by secretary Lamar that timber in
moderate quantities for all pur
poses may be cut on government
mineral lands.
The cannery is running steadily
and has packed so far some 2,000
cases. The price of fish is SO and
50 cents, the former price for sil
ver sides. But very few of the
latter are running yet and will not
begin much before next week.
