Ryan & Co. 637, Third street, have just received a full line of 1893 patterns In wall paper, and comprising all the latest designs and shades, at the low est prices. Call and see them. Judge i Cleveland yesterday officiated at a wedding ceremony In which he was more than-ordinarily Interested. His daughter Minnie, well known among the young people of this city, and a general favorite, was married to Aud ley Gragg at the family residence. On ly relatives of the contracting parties were present, and at the conclusion of the ceremony all sat . down to a light repast. The young people left for their honeymoon on the Telephone last night. They take with them the best wishes and the heartiest congratulations of a host of friends and well wishers, with whom The Astorlan joins In wishing them a long life and prosperity. Mr.s M. McKenzle, corner Main and Third streets, invites the ladies of As toria to call on Wednesday and Thurs day of this week, to her opening of spring and summer millinery. Here are some more comments: "The libel suit against the editor of the Astorlan, brought by Sidney Dell, a lawyer of that city, was dismissed. Two-thirds of the jury being in favor of the defendant. The charge of Judge McBride to the Jury was to the effect that whenever a newspaper finds a case of flagrant wrong-doing or evil, It Is its duty and privilege to expose It, and glve.it the widest circulation." Pacific Journal. "The notorious blatherskite, Sidney Dell, sued the editor of The Astorlan for libel. After a trial that helped to advertise The Astoriaa greatly, the Jury disagreed." Tillamook Headlight. "The editor of The Astorlan, who has been on trial In Clatsop county circuit court for criminal libel, has been discharged. It is time that the constitution granted liberty to the press, and stopped these vexatious lawsuits for libel every time an editor lets a ray of sunlight shine upon the fraudulent actions of social and polit ical vampires. Otherwise the office of censor of the press should be created, and every article should be examined before being published as It is in Rus sia. The power of the press Is very JEFF'S, lis. Only Restaurant.! The Astorlan yesterday, knowing the condition of the city jail and wishing to present to its readers in the best possible manner a picture of Its de fects, engaged at its own expense the services of Dr. J. A.' Fulton to exam ine the building and make a profes sional report. He sends us the following communi cation: "To the editor of The Astorlan. Sir: In response to your request I to day visited the city jail and inspected the premises thoroughly.' "I find that the sanitary condition of the Institution, is, in the language- of a well known Jurist of our city "un enviable." Three of the cells contain only three hundred and thirty-six cubic feet of space each; and an ordinary man would during one night's confine ment in either of these, die from as phyxla, if it were not for a small hole six by ten Inches, In each door, which provides ventilation. These small holes are closed by a little perforated Iron door, which, when shut, would not allow an opening more than three Inches square for ventilation. None of the rooms, with one exception, have received a single ray of sunlight for years; and there Is practically no ven t Uatlon in most of the cells. The floor on which the prisoners are supposed to sleep. Is never dry, simply because, with the facilities at hand, it Is im possible to dry it. In each cell is a water closet, but none of them have any arrangements for washing or sluic ing, and none of them appear to me to have ever been washed since they were first used. But what is most remark able is that each closet Is placed about six inches above and directly over a large cross beam, which acts as a re ceptacle that Is never emptied, and from which come most terrible odors that fill all the rooms. This smell is simply abominable and a continual menace to human life. The condition of affairs on the whole Is shameful. Two days' close confinement In one of the dark cells would shatter the con stitution of an Hercules, and twenty four hours In any cell in the building would be too long for any human be ing or a dog either.

It will be read with in terest by every pioneer of this state, for nearly all -of them knew and held him in close friendship. Thomas Hodgkins, who died at the Esmond Hotel in Portland, Or., on the 20th of March, after an Illness of only four days, was born In Woolwich, Me, 67 years ago. At the age of 26 he left his native state for the Pacific coast, and arrived In California In the spring of 1852, and soon after started for the gold fields, and after prospecting nearly all summer through the northern part of California, he, with others,- started north for the Rogue river mines In Oregon, where he arrived late In the fall. He spent the greater part of the winter in the snow of the mountains, often suffering the pangs of hunger, but buoyed up by the hope that spring would soon come and raise the block' ade. But the first advent of spring brought other and unlooked for trou bles in the form of the Rogue River Indians who took the war path and opened hostilities on the miners, many of whom were killed, but the subject of this sketch, after many long days and nights of travel, enduring the hard ships Incumbent on such a journey through almost an endless wilderness, arrived In Portland, Oregon, early In the spring of 1853. Having been born on the banks of the Kennebec river, liis early years were spent in fishing and rafting, and while resting a few days in Portland, he heard of the Col umbia river salmon which again turned his attention to the fishing industry. and he went down the river in search of a suitable location to engage in the business. He selected a site in Columbia county about two miles below and opposite Oak Point, where he took up a dona tion land claim and here made and used the first salmon gill-net that was ever cast in the waters of the Columbia river. The following year he built the first fish tray ever constructed by wnite man on tne river. This was made similar in shape to those used in that vicinity at the present time, but instead of framing them and using up rights and slats as they do now, his first trap was made by driving stakes about three feet apart and weaving alder and willow brush In the stakes, and even in this rude trap he caught a great many salmon which he either smoked or salted and afterward ex' ported to the Sandwich Islands. In 1857 he returned to Maine and again engaged in fishing on the Kenne bec which he followed both summer and winter for nearly ten years. Dur ing this time he was married to M.rs. H. A.; Wescott, who survives him. In 1867 he came to Oregon again, his wife following him a year later, where they have resided ever since. Mr. Hodgkins has twice represented the people of Columbia county in the legislature, first In 1872 and again In 1880. In polit ical faith he was a democrat, but in politics, as in all of his business and other transactions he' was broad and liberal ..minded, always using his in fluence and vote for the man he con sidered would secure the best results for the state of his adoption, which he loved and honored to an unusual de gree. So he was not only a pioneer of Or egon, to which association he belonged, but he was the pioneer fisherman of the Columbia river and has kept pace with the progress of latter years in the mode of catching fish. At the time of his death he and his partner, L. W. Ball, owned one of the best, if not, the best, seining grounds in the river. By his death Columbia county loses one of her most Influential and benev olent citizens, and his wife and grand daughters mourn a kind and affection-1 y ate nusDana and grandfather, but it is consolation to them , to know they Jj nave tne sympatny or an Who knew him. His memory will long be cher ished In grateful remembrance by the poor and unfortunate who ever found in ' him a sympathetic and helpful friend, while those who were drawn to him by the bonds of close friendship feel that the hand of death has de prived them of one who was as near and true to them as one of their own kindred. Of him It may be truly said, "An honest man Is the noblest work of God." rnWO JDKSIKABLK UNFURNISHED ROOMS .i newly papvreu. iuoacrate rem. aea intra street.
