ASTORIA, OREGON:
FRIDAY OCTOBER, 25, 18S9.
AX ADVANCED' DIVINE.
T. DeWitt TaiiMage, a New York
preacher o note, is a century in ad
vance o his time. He thinks that
sectional anil denominational division
should cease.
His big Brooklyn church, burned
down last Sunday week; the follow
ing Sunday he preached at the Acade
my of Music. Among other things he
said: ""I now make an appeal to all
Christendom to help us, and I will ac
knowledge the receipt of every .con
tribution, great or small with my own
hand. "We want to build a larger and
better church; we want it a national
church, in which people of, all creeds
and all nations may find a home. The
contributions already sent in make a
small-hearted churcb forever impossi
ble. Would not I be a sorry spec
tacle for angels and men, if in a
church built by Israelite and Cath
olic, as well as all styles of people
commonly called evangelical, I should,
instead of the banner of the Lord
God Almighty, raise the fluttering rag
of small sectarianism?"
"If we had 300,000 we would put
thun all into one great monument to
God. I say now to all the Baptists
that we shall have a baptistery. I
say to all Episcopalians, we shall have
in our services, as heretofore at our
communion table, portions of their
liturgy. I say to Catholics, we shall
have a cross over the pulpit and prob
ably on the tower. I say to Method
ists, we mean to sing there like the
voice of mighty thunderings."
"I do not know but I see on the
horizon the first gleam of the morning
which shall unite all denominations in
one organization", distinguished only
by locality, as in apostolic times."
THE COMING CONGRESS.
The reason why the opening of the
Fifty-first congress is awaitedwith more
general interest than was excited by
the gathering of any of its predeces
sors in recent years can readily be
pointed out. This year, for the first
time since 1875, the Republican party
will be in control of both branches of
our national legislature. Every con
gress which met since March 4 of
that year has .been -dominated in its
popular branch by the Democracy,
except that which began its existence
Avith the presidency of .Tames A. Gar
field, and that party exercised suprem
acy in the upper as well as the
lower branch of the congress pre
ceding that one. In the Forty-seventh
congress, however, which was in ex
istence during the first half of the
Garfield-Arthur administration, al
though the Republicans had a small
majority in the house, the senate was
a tie, there being thirty-seven
Republicans, the same number
of Democrats, one readjuster
Mahone and one independent
David Davis. Mahone usually voted
with the Republicans on partisan
matters, "while Davis distributed his
favors nearly equally between the two
parties, but neither party was in full
and unrestricted control of that body.
The fact that not for sixteen years
past until now has any congress come
into being which was dominated in
both branches by the Republicans will
direct, the attention of the country
with more than usual interest to tho
one which will assemble this year.
"When the "Forty-third congress met
in 1873, Grant was just beginning his
second term in the presidency. Over
ihe upper branch of that congress
vice president Henry "Wilson presided,
Avith Matthew IL Carpenter and Henry
B. Authony succesively presidents of
the senate pro tempore. James
G. Blaine was made speaker of the
house in that year for the third time.
That" was the "latest congress over
which the Republicans bore undis
puted sway in both branches, and the
country is anxious to see how they
will acquit" themselves in the coming
one, after having been prevented
from exercising full legislative power
for about a decade and a half past.
That the parly will meet the expec
tations of the country in this direc
tion seems altogether safe to predict.
The Republicans were intrusted with
power and responsibility in an era in
whichthe problems to be met and
mastered were far more numerous
and complex than those which con
front the country at this moment, and
they et all times proved- themselves
equal to the most delicate and ex
acting requirements of the situation.
It is said the United States is des
tined to. become a nation of blondes.
The population of Norway shows a
percentage of 97.25 of light eyes.
Flaxen hair appears" in 57.5 per cent,
while absolutely black hair is only
found in the ratio of 2 per cent. The
immigration from Scandinavian coun
tries in 1888 numbered 80,000, or
about one-sixth of the entire immi
gration that year. The immigration
from Germany is also very largely
made up of pure blondes, -while that
from the British Isles and other Euro
pean countries is very mixed, with
blondes still in the lead.
The Illinois Steel company proposes
to go into the manufacture of tin.
The proposition is to issue, $5,000,000
in 20-year 5-per-cent. bonds, converti
ble into stock at the option of the
holders, and to put in a plant for the
manufacture of tin. The company re
ports a prosperous business for the
pasyear. The orders have been so
large as to compel the purchase of
300,000 tons of pig iron outside of its
ordinary supplies. The stock will be
listed in New York and will be ex
pected to pay 6 per cent, dividends.
Beet Habte became a novelist by
accident It happened in this way:
He was the editor of the Overland
Magazine, nnd failing to secure a sto
ry of California life he wrote one him
self. It was "The Luck of Roaring
Camp," which was received with a
storm of abuse on the Tacific Coast.
In the East, however, it had a im
mense success, and was the commence
ment of his literary fortune.
The coldest region in the United
States is the stretch of country on the
northern border from the Minnesota
lakes to the western line of Dakota.
At Pembina, which lies near the 49th
parallel, the lowest temperature re
corded in the great storm of the win
ter of 1873 was 56 below zero. This
is believed to be the lowest tempera
ture reached in the United States.
Legacies to the amount of 9,000
left by Benjamin Franklin and John
Scott, to be expended on public im
provements, have amounted by in
vestment for nearly a century to
about $110,000. Of this 8100,000 will
be devoted to the erection of a large
public bath in Philadelphia, while the
remaining 810.000 will be laid aside
for another hundred years.
The citizens of Tayloraville, Neb.,
recently tarred and feathered old
Jason Mitchell and then rode him on
a rail. Instead of resenting this treat
ment, Jason seemed to enjoy it. This
puzzled the boys very much until the
old man sued twenty-five of them for
8100 damages each and got it. Then
they began to see that Jason really
had the most fun.
Maggie Stewart, aged 15 years,
managed to travel from Glasgow to
New York without paying a cent of
fare, supported all the way by well-to-do
passengera whom she amused. She
had broken a pitcher belonging to the
woman by whom she was employed,
and on that account ran away.
New Orleans has taken on a virtu
ous fit in the matter of gambling, and
is moving to suppress everything in
that line from craps among the roust
abouts, to poker, loo and baccarat in
the swell clubs. This is probably in
interests of the Louisiana lottery,
which permits no competition.
The city council of Los Angeles,
CaL, sat as a board of equalization
and put a 20 per cent, raise upon prop
erty in the business portion of the
city, and now the owners of that prop
erty refuse to pay the increase and
suits have been instituted to enjoin
its collection.
TnE wife of John P. St. John, Jr.,
son of the prohibition apostle, has
just sued for divorce at Santa Fe on
the ground of her husband's habitual
drunkenness. Somebody should hire
tne Jiansas ex-governor at Sou per
night to talk prohibition to his son.
E. J. Baldwin, the California mil
lionaire, has been a blacksmith, farm
er, stable-keeper, commercial traveler,
ooaiawain oi a canai-Doat ana a gro
cer during his extraordinary career.
He is now GO years old and worth
18,000,000.
The coinage of gold dollars at the
Philadelphia mint is limited to 5,000
a year, and they are put in. the posses
sion of the. Treasury to make exact
change in paying depositors of gold
bullion.
The amount of 4) per cent, bonds
outstanding at tne present time is
128,000,000, and of the 4s 655,000,
000. The 4s mature on September
1, 1891, and the 4s on July 1, 1907.

Epoch.
The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi
vidual. Such a remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agencj
whereby the good health has been at
tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alterative and Tonic. 1 f you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidnes's, Liver or Stomach, of long or

To Theater Owners. Managers and Whom it
May Concern :
This is to certify that 1 have equipped tho
Windsor theater in this city with tho Lind
gren stationary chemical firo engines. After
examining all other systems of firo protection,
and after repoatod tests of tho Lindgren sta
tionary chemical firo engine, and upon tho re
commendation of tho insuranco undor-writ-ors,
1 have no hesitation in pronouncing it
tho cheapest and most powerful, as well as
perfect, liro protection for theaters ever in
vented. In my opinion every theater ard
opera house in tho United States, as well as
Europo, should be equipped with theso choui
ical firo engines, and thus savo tho loss of life
and thousands of dollars in property,

To Whom it May Concern :
This is to cortify that I, George A. Burhank,
witnessed tho exhibition of tho Lindgren
chemical cngino test to-day, and as I have
witnessed a great many such chemical tests
in Now York City, Boston, Mass., and other
largo cities in the Kast, I hereby stato that it
was tho quickest and most satisfactory test,
and was also pronounced so by two of our
councilmen and all tho citizens present, and 1
will also stafo that tho timo of applying tho
chemical was left entirely to mo and I did not
givo tho word until tho firo was well started,
for in other tests I havo witnessed thoy have
always put tho chemical on tho minuto the
firo was started and water would answet just
as well, as thero was nothing but tho flame
started and tho wood not charred, and 1 take
great pleasure in recommending tho "Lind
gren" as far superior to any other "Chemical"
engine on tho market.
