The rumor that reached this city ou Friday evening, and which was pub lished in yesterday morning's As tokian, was indeed a fact as the sad news was verified yesterday. William Morris, of Portland, book keeper of Meyer & Frank, was in bathing at Seaside, and being a fine swimmer went out a long distance be joud the other bathers, though warned by them not to go out so far alone. He went out so far that he could not be seen from the shore and was completely tired out, and possibly taken with cramp, for he was swept under and must have gone in a crab hole. I At the latest report last evening, his .body had not been washed ashore and may be carried so far away as ; never to be recovered, though gen erally the bodies of drowned persons eventually come to the shore. Mr. Morris was a native of Canada, where his parents still reside, was 24 years of age, unmarried, and had been iu this country about two years. Boats went out to search for him when it was found he did not return. j but the search was fruitless, for the sea would not give up its dead. A few days ago Larry Sullivan swam so far out that he became exhausted, and w;is rescued by Pete Giant and Fred Prael. Good swimmers are more liable to be drowned than poor ones, for they are bold and venture out too far. There is no possible danger in bath ing at Seaside, unless one foolishly ventures out too far and becomes tired out. A Roy Badly Scalded. Yesterday afternoon while the steamer Telephone was on her way down from Portland and the passen gers were eating dinner, one of the tables on which was placed the hot soup, tea and coflee, broke down, spill ing the scaldiug contents on those around ihe table.

Seattle has done a wise thing from a business point of view. Astoria shonld prepare to make a similar in vestment by having tho charter amended so as to allow the city to is sue tho necessary bonds. The weight of popular opinion is in favor of the city owning its own water works, and there will probably be no serious opposition to legislation mak ing it possible. Passengers to Portland. Smiiay Horning Botes, Comments and Farappls. SO Mi: OllKtIX.lL, S03TK COVIEli. Yesterday the proprietor of one of our Third street shoe stores was considerably surprised. A good looking young woman who came in from the country on one of tho little steamers went to his store to purchase a pair of shoes, and se lected a pair to try on and see how they wonld fit. The accommodating proprietor, ever ready to oblige his patrons, was in the act of sprinkling some chalk powder inside, so they might go on easily. She glanced fur tively at him and remarked: lI know what you're doing." The genial salesman smiled acquies euce. She glided toward the door and said in tones that startled his nerves: "You can't chloroform me, mister; I was fooled once before, and I'm blamed if I'll bo again.'' And she left without her shoes. We are born iu hope; we pass our childhood in hope; we are govorned by hope through tho whole course of our lives; in our last moments hope is flattering to us; and not until the beating of the heart shall cease will its benigu iufluence leave us.

Fcebled and palsied age, trembling on the brink of the grave, has them when everything else has fled away aud been forgotten. They are the mem ories of our boyhood's home, tho home where we were born, tho yard with its wealth of roses aud flower decked vine, the lilac bushes where tho robins made their nests each spring, paying their rent in songs, we have often dreamed of but uever heard of afterwards; tho old elm and swing, where the children used lo play, all the timo tho mother sat by tho window, her faco gleaming out occasionally through tho folds of the dainty muslin curtains, and the old house with its queer corners aud nooks, and tho neat, tidy chambers where wo used lo dream of cloudless skies, sunny hours, momeu Is of bliss and glorious happiness, which now only linger in the memory of them. Neither changes nor time, neither dis tances, can ever efface or blot from the heart those memories of the spring time of our lives. Woman may sirngglo through all time for popular recognition and her rights, but there is one goal which she can never attain, the loss of whicli must ever be a thorn in her side. Her name will never be emblazoned among those of tho leading men of Astoria on tho enameled shaving cups whioh adorn tho shelves iu tho barber shops. If you aro willing lo bo a3 pleasant and as anxious to please in your own home as you are in the company of your neighbors, j on will have tho hnp picst home in tho world. UKAIj ESTATE TRANSFERS. An Astokian reporter while stand ing near tho steam flying horses last evening overheard tho following con cen con versateon: "The man wlo invented that machino had a bright idea," said a young lady to the young gentleman who was with her. "I've had a brighter idea than that," said the young man. "What is tho brightest idea that ever suggested itself to your asked Alice. Aud Fred replied promptly, "Your eye, dear." Enthusiasm is ono qf tho most powerful enginas of success. When you do a" thiug, dp it with a vim. Do it with your might Put your whole soul into it Stamp it with your own personality. Boaotive, be onorgetic, bo enthusiastic aud faithful, and you will accomplish your objeot in spito oJ all opposition, open grave so soon to receive our be loved relatives or friend we instinct ively wonder if we shall meet him again, and if so, how, when and where. The answer is given beautifully in the drama, where the Greek who is doomed to death is asked by his be loved if they shonld meet again, and ho replies: "I have asked that ques tion of the hills that look eternal; of the clear streams that flow forever; of the stars among whose fields of azuro my raised spirits have" walked in glory. All are dumb. But as I gaze upon thy living face, I feel that thero is something in love that mantles through its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again." They who thread life's pathway bearing on their faces an expression of cheerfulness, nre radiant ministers of mankind. They scatter suushine on all they meet; depression and gloom fade away in their presence. The fact that Mr. Hobart Brooks, who will next season manage the tour of the "U. S. Mail," in which is an amiable burlesque on the postmaster general, has so annoyed Mrs. Benja min Harrison that she has intimated to Mrs. Hobart Brooks, her niece, that further intercourse with the White House must be discontinued unless her husband leaves the theatrical pro fession. Baby Brooks, Mr. Brooks' son, aud Baby McKee are playmates, and unless Baby McKee kicks up a great big fuss because Baby Brooks is missing, the families will probably bo estranged, as Mr. Brooks proposes to keep on the even tenor of his way, and boss the "U. S. Mail" at least for one season. Great hope is, however, placed iu Baby McKee's lung power to accomplish results which no diplomat would dare even to suggest. The days are made on a loom whereof the warp and woof nre past and future time. They are majesti cally dressed as if every god brought a thread of the silky web. Before marriage: "Oh, my darling, your voice is as inu&ical to me as a ve3perbell, whoso tones fall softly on the perfumed evening air! Speak again, and say those words, my be loved, for I could listen to your voice until the stars are extinguished into everlasting night f After marriage: "1 have had just enough of your chat tor, old woman, and if you don't let up, I'll leave the house." Best is never so sweet as after a long struggle; streugth never so strong as through trial; a joy is a more blessed thing after sorrow, and the fair dawning or sunny days could never come if wo had no night Louise Montague, who is undoubt edly the most beautiful, dashing aud vocally accomplished burlesque ac tress on the American stago to-day. and has been so attractive 111 her sing ing, beauty mid gorgeous costumes, was interviewed in Chicago recently. Her remarks in reference to stago costumes were as follews: "What do yon imply by the question, What do 1 think alxmt tights? Do you mean considered from a standpoint of looks, morality, health or what? If yon mean how do I liko the looks of lights, E should say in reply that U depends altogether up on tho wearer. They can be an artistic delight to tho eye or they can be quite the reverse. 1 can conceive of cirenmstauces under which it wonld be quito impossible for the nicest pair of tights to look well; then I can imagine circum stances under which very ordinary tights wonld become things of beauty, it not joys forever. It all depends, as I say, upon the wearer. As to the modesty of tho custom or wearing tights on tho stage I must say that 1 think that depends upon the wearer, too. Tights can be worn modestly, just as dresses can bo worn im modestly. Now, don't you think so yourself? I don't believe that a woman was ever injured in her moral character by wearing tights in rolos where they wero demanded. By the way, why is the subject of tights dis cussed so mnch? Why uot ask if bare arms and aliRnlders nre immoral? I don't sec why oho sot of limlis should be discriminated against moro than another. Is tlicre any reason why part of tho leg covered with silk should be considered apy more de moralizing thau anus and shoulders uncovered? I don't see it" PERSONAL MENTION.

Prof. Gentry's Etuiinc an J Canine Psratlo at Ro' Opera Honse Wcilnesiliy anil Thm-Mliy Evenings. The following i3 a genuine com plimentary notice of the Equine and Canine Paradox, taken from tho Bos ton Glebe: When excellence in all its details is attained iu the training of dumb ani mals, aud when this seems to have been accomplished more by kindness than cruelty, then unstinted praise can be given such an exhibition of tal ent The show given by the ponies and dogs or Prof. Gentry is in every way worthy to be classed in the front rank of excellence, and therefore worthy of praise. It is good in every particular, and each hand some lxniy and doff Heems to do his part with an accuracy, ease and ' enjoyment that adds greatly to the. pleasure of the exhibition. The feats performed by some of the dogs are wonderful and never fail to bring forth most enthusiastic applause. The jumping of the greyhound and Bruno is as exciting as it is marvelous, and was greeted last night with great cheering and delight When the sleek greyhound Prince makes the great leap, the audience give a gasp of astonishment as they see the lithe, long body rise forward and upward like a rocket, covering a truly wonder ful space. Then the hound, as if re garding the feat accomplished as a very little thing, stalks soberly away. A great crowd witnessed the exhibi tion last night, and everbody left highly pleased.

Human beings appear noon the stage of life as flowers blossom in tho summer, liko them bloom awhile, radiant in strength aud beauty, and liko them wither and decay, for sooner or later to overy mortal comes tho dread summons of tho dark augol, and tho passage over tho river.
