THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 17, 1893.
The library entertainment in Odd
Fellows' Hall last night was beyond all
doubt the most successful affair of Its
kind that has been held In Astoria
this year. Tho program, as published
In Saturday's Astorlan was carried
out without a hitch, and from start to
finish was delightful. The hall was
' filled with visitors. The "Circulating
Library" contest was provocative of
much amusement, and a large number
of people, particularly ladles, partici
pated. There were several clever rep
resentations. Miss Mary White was
awarded the prize by the committee.
She appealed as the "Blglow Paprs,"
byLowell, and had two large news
papers pinned at the hn of her skirt,
alongsldci the letter L. The prize for
the largest number of correct guestcs
was awarded to .Mrs. Albert Dunt.or.
Among the best and most -Ady
"books" were "Victor and Vanquished"
Miss Bv'nrtle, who wore a picture of
the Vigilant and the Valkyrie; "The
"World Against Her," Mrs. D. K. Wur-
. ren; "The Buckeye Cook Book," Mrs.
A. L. Fulton; "Through Thick and
Thin," ' MIB9 Hattle Sayre, who ap
peared with a hatpin stuck through
a package of starch and a sheet of
paper; "The Negro Question," Mrs J.
T. Rogers; "The Doctor's Daughter,"
Miss Nettie Tuttle; "Under the Holly,"
Mrs. G. Wingate; "Middlemarch," Miss
Lottie Bonnett; "Half a Hero," Miss
Barron; "Soriij Women's Hearts," Miss
Maud Warren and "Innocents Abroad"
Mr. Eben Rogers. The statuary was
splendid and brought down the house.
Every piece was perfectly portrayed,
and too much thanks cannot be ac
corded to Mr3. Robert Carruthers for
lior careful arrangement of tho figures.
The Soattlo Telegraph says: "The
mo.'-it uriUHiiul thing occurred at Port
IllnUely the other dny which affords
additional proof that the little teredo
with which the waters of Puget Sound
are Infested are at times, at least, very
destructive. A large boom of logs was
found to have become Infested with the
worms so badly, that they had to be
towed out of tfce port, for they were
entirely destroyed. There were several
thousand feet of lumber In the boom,
and the loss amounted to many hun
dreds of dollars. This Is an unusual
occurrence. There art however, booms
of logs even la tho Seattle harbor
which, to the unpractised eye, appear
to be all right, but a close examina
tion would reveal them honeycombed
with teredo cello. Usually logs Infected
this way lose their buoyency and sink
until almost the entire log Is below
the surface." There Is a moral In this.
How many Astoria lumbermen have
ever seen a teredo's work on their
logs? The other day a piece of piling
from this city was taken up from tho
bed of tho river nnd scut to the
World's Fair. It li il been down wa
ter for 47 years, nnd was as solid as
the day It was driven In. The teredo
Is as much a stranger here as a trans
continental railroad. Hut the latter
will come In fcy and by. The former
never coo.
The following1 significant Item from
the pen of a Washington lumberman,
Is from the Stattle P. I. of the 10th
Inst: "So far aa prizes are concerned
Washington, got but small recognition
at the World's Full- In the timber" line,
We naturally looked for a big array
of prizes. All we gut was tho award
on a yellow fir log. The Willapa Tun-
iiin Ktruot Company, of South Bend,
e iplin-ftil (;,nt p. 1 i n- t-itinln extract.
That's a feather for our bark, but It
Is hardly any acknowledgement of our
timber." This lumberman calls atten
tlon to the fact that Oregon, while
making no pretenslous and having no
appropriation, got away with Washing
ton and carried, oit tho prize on Its
uxhtbit of commarvlul woods. Astoria
Hhould feel proud of her position In
this matter fu- It wus this city that
took hold of tlio forestry exhibit and
made It a success. Mr. Johnson, the
Smith's Point florist, as the mun whose
efforts have been crowned with such
splendid rcsulttt. Ho Btarted In at the
11th hour with a miserable amount of
cash to assist him, and In splto of
these dinieultles come out on top. What
could Oregon not have done with her
lumber display had she only taken
time and spent money without stint
In Its preparation?
It la said that at the first meeting of
Theodore Roosevelt and the late James
O. Blaine, Teddy modestly Informed
the republican lender that he had n
notion of going Into politics, but hadn't
derided whether to enter tho house or
the senate. The Maine statesman con
sidered a moment and then suid:
"Don't do either; wait. Get more fa
miliar with party polities, and may bo
when you are a lew years older you
may Do nlilo to attempt there things.
Mr. Hoonevelt has waited, and his
fi-iends think he Is overdoing the mat
ter. They want him to give up his
place on the civil service commission
and enter active poll I Ice In New York
City.
Dvorak, the Bohemian composer,
says that this country needs Instru
mentalists. "It Is a shame," says he,
"that' with the millions of Americans,
nil the big orchestras like Seldl's
'1 hoinns' and the Boston Symphony,
should be mnde up Almost entirely of
Giornmna." Dr. Dvorak miys that tho
young men of this country who "de
spise fiddling," would make more mon
ey a first violins thnn than as dry
goods clerks ana bookkeepers, which
Is trim enough. Unfortunately all
young men cannot be first violins while
most of them are equal to clerking or
bookkeeping.
Prince Henry, of Battenherg. who
has been yachting off the coast of Scot
land, has been recalled, and is once
more attached to his royal mother-in-
law's anron string after tits holiday,
The prince, by the way, Is not valuing
popularity In England. He makes no
tecret or Ms cor.wmpi tor me mkmhh,
nnd has not even token the trouble to
l ain to sneak Engllwh Intelligently
He has an accent like a Milwaukee
avenue bartender, and reads nothing
but German.
Major Hinry Johnstone, of the royal
British artillery. ho bevn reading the
N'ew York dude who ape the English
a lesson. "If Twere an American."
ha says, "I Wuuid be more patrtolio
than to ape any people on earth. I'd
te an American, for this Is a fine coun
try. Then again, the people the angio-m-inlucs
ape are not our best people.
They are loungers In clubs and me
apt to be ridiculous." All of which
Is true, but It will have no effect on
the young men of Gotham. They are
wedded to their Idols.
