Benjamin D. Sullivan of New York
city says there were only 495 lawyers
in that city when ho began his prac
tice sixty years ago, but that the Now
York bar is now adorned with 5,575
members, somo of whom have grown
rich.
William Kehsileb, who is the
first person sentenced in New York
to be executed by electricity, says
that he fears such a death a hundred
times more than a death by rope. If
murderers generally have such a dread
of the mysterious death by electrio
shock, life may bo safer when such
punishment is in general practice.
The census of 1890 will furnish in
formation which no other federal cen
sus has yielded relating to the re
corded indebtedness of the people,
The idea is to present statistics show
ing the extent of this private indebted'
ness of record and the form in which
it exists namely, whether in real
03tate or mortgages, debts otherwise
secured, or in general indebtedness
through notes and bills payable.
In these peaceful times -no business
is more profitable than the manufao.
ture of death-dealing instruments. At
Steyer, in Upper Austria, is the big
gest small arms factory in the world.
Day and night the factory is'busy
making Mannlicher repeating rifles
for the Austrian army and the com
positoManser-Krapotchek-Mannlicher
rifle for the Germans. Germany will
have its own plant, capable of turning
out one thousand rifles a day, in oper
ation next year. At Birmingham and
Enfield a plant is being put, in in an
ticipation'of big orders for the British
service rifle. The British orders will
keep English arms factories busy for
at least two years.
. '
The Situation at Seattle.
Seattle. June LL A careful can
vass reveals the situation in this city
to be as follews: The business men
are almost entirely without store
rooms, but are putting up tents in
whicn tney will be nuie to aispose 01
their wares until more suitable quar
ters can be erected. This element of
onr citizens are abundantly able to
care for themselves.
There are a large number of people
in the city, including clerks, etc with
and without families, who have lost
their all, and alarge number of persons
also who are destitute and without
food or shelter, except what is erven
them. These people are being cared
for the best way possible, but as it
will be some months beiore tney can
be supplied with houses, any contri
bution in the slinno of bedding, food
and household goods of all kinds will
be most acceptable.
A labor bureau is being organized,
and it is only a question of a few days
until all who want can find work.
Those who have no visible means of
support, and who will not work will
bo ordered to leave the city, and if
they don't, will be arrested and sum
marily dealt with.
Eestaurants are starting up all over
the city, and those who have money
can find food, plain though it may be.
The city will be rebuilt at once, on a
grander and-better scale than ever,
Contracts have already been let for
numbers of large brick buildings, and
inside of one year Seattle will doubt
less, be a better and greater city than
foofors
The relief committee has full charge
of all contributions, which will be
used in ihe best manner possible.
Quite an amount of funds will be
required to tide us over, but liberal
donations of money, which are being
gratefully received, will enable us to
ffS. most neeay.
The weather is good, and will pre
vent much suffering to those without
shelter.
The gratitude of Seattle to those
lellow-oountrvmen who have been so
liberal to her in her suffering, is un
bounded, and will never be forgotten.
J. U.1XEWIB,
Chairman Belief Committee.
EDITOBIAIi EXPLANATION.
Why the Swampyllle "WlRsler" Palled
to Appear Last Week.
The Swampville Wiggler of last
week contained, among other interest
ing personals, the following.
Old Bob Crook has set a report go
ing in town that does us a crave in
justice and we feel that it is oar duty
io use ana orana it as mramoasly
false. He says that the reason we
failed to get the Wiggler ont last
week was because we were too drunk
to set the type. We want to say
right here that old Bob lies. When
we get too drunk to set type we are
preny lar gone. How, the fact of the
business is simnlv this:
Thursday afternoon when our
lorms were made up and readv to
lock, we went up to Colonel Dyke's
saloon to meet Major Bones, who
promised to be there at that time to
pay ua sixty cents on his subscrip
tion account, which has been run
ning over seven years. When we ar
rived the major was in the middle of
a long yarn about old times, and we
waited for him to finish before we
called bis attention to his promise.
After that we joined the boys in a
onus just to snow ine social siue oi
our nature.
Well, when wo went back to our
ofBca we found that jndge Jones' old
red sow had rooted the office door
down and was inside playing havoc
with things generally. Sue had al
ready unset the imnosing stone and
pied the forms and was at the mo
ment we stepped in standing on her
head eating the last of a keg of ink
we had' just received as pay for a
column of advertising space for one
year.
We undertook to drive the old sor
rel rip out, when she whirled on us
and showed a strong desire to eat us.
We felt that it would be well to make
our esoape, so we skun op the wall
just as she made a rip at us and got
our pants. It was a narrow escape from
a horrible death.
For four hours we sat up there
astride of a sharp joist and "sooied"
that old varmint, but she paid no
more attention to us than she would
to the blowing of the wind. She
drank the last bit of our ink, and
tried to eat the keg, and then she -ate
the tympan off the press. At last,
just at dark, Bhe took our subscrip
tion book" in her mouth and trotted
away, and w? came down and stole
home down the back alley, where we
had to remain until our wife succeed
ing in persuading Colonel Barnes to
let us have a pair of pants on time, for
whicn we nope to induce the genial
colonel to take advertising in par.
This is the true reason why the
Wiggler failed to appear last week,
and old Bob Crook knows it, for we
saw mm ana nve or six others stand
ing on the opposite street 'corner
laughing at us as we sat astride of the
joist
We want to say right here that
we've suffered enough at the bands of
that old sow, and it something is not
done with her we shall take the law
in our own hands. This is not the
first time she has raided oar office.
It was only last month, when wa were
deeply absorbed in a lending editorial
on the marvelous growth and pmKreis
ofouroity, tuntBuecimeinuunoticod,
and without the least wnrniug rooted
over the bench on which wo weru lit
the time writing. That old sow is the
bane ot onr lire, and for nf teen years
has kept us out of the church. She
has demolished our office, taken the
bread ont of our mouth, made our life
miserable, stood between us and
Heaven, and now we say she must
cease.
HE SENT IT EAST.
For a year I was troubled with paUu In
ay back and aide, and headaches, the re
sult of liver and kidney trouble. I was
attracted to Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparllla,
by tho startling testimonials In the pa
pers. They seemed so practical I was in-'
duccd to try it, knowing- that as it was
purely vegetable, It would do no harm.
It acted as a gentle laxative. After the
second bottle my pains and aches disap-,
peorcd. It did so much for me that I
sent several bottles to my family In New
Jersey, who also took it with the mosij
satisfactory results.

Mr. E. C. Wheeler, mayor of East
Portland, and clerk ot this city, died
at the residence' ot J. T. Stewart, on
Fourth and H streets', East Portland,
at about ISO o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Wheeler had been suffering from
heart trouble which was the immedi
ate cause of his death. He had been
confined to his bed for some weeks
and his friends had long ago given up
hope of his recovery.
This afternoon Dr. Bichmond Kelly
examined Joseph Dooley, formerly a
resident of East Portland, now in the
county jail, and pronounced him in
sane. JNommg could be elicited from
the man, and he is evidently suffering
from softening ot the brain.
