One of the oldest Inhabitants was about yesterday, and he remarked that this was the coldest May and the ralnl est spring he had ever passed through on the Coast. Let us hope what he says Is true. The office people of the Astoria box factory have lots of confidence In the people who pass In that vicinity, as their safe was wide open yesterday for some time, with no one about the prem ises to prevent a dropper-ln from help ing himself. Foreman Leinenweber has not yet ap pointed an engineer for No. 3 steamer, to take the place made vacant by th resignation of George W. Morton. W. A. Hall is at present In charge of the engine, and will remain until a perma nent appointment Is made. The council last night ordered Bab cock fire extinguishers for the No, and 3 engine houfaes. When they arrive they will be placed on a bracket in the engine houses, but never used, at least this is the experience of seven out of eight fire departments "that have pur chased fire extinguishers In the last ID years. SEASIDE NOTES. Mrs. Alex. Campbell, with her daugh- ter, has left for Seaside, and with the aid of painters and new furniture, they will fix up their cottage so Mr. Camp bell won't recognize it on his first trip to the seashore this summer. TWO STAPLES. There are two kinds of merchandise mat Astoria merchants sell more of than do dealers In any other town con taining three times the inhabitants in the United States. Alarm clocks and granite ware are as 'staple, articles of merchandise here as flour and sugar in Illinois or quinine and snuff in Arkan sas. A TENDER THOUGHT. it was a sweet Idea thot ono r,f the Cedar street school teachers suggested to her scholars when she asked that It any of their )arents had more flowers than they wished for themselves that they make up a bouiiuet and leave It ut the hospital to cheer the room of Borne of the patients that may he confined there. UPPERTOWN SCHOOL. Prof. Clarke examined the pupils of room 3, fifth grade, yesterday afternoon in arithmetic. This will be flnul If It Is found that they have passed an acceptable exam ination. If they do not come up to grade, this trial will give them nn op portunity to review their studies again before the closing exercises In June. TRAMP STEAMER. Tim nwtlHh steamer Danube, Capt. Myers, master, wus due here lust night, no says a telegram received by het agent, James Flnlityson, yesterday. She connects with the steamer Em press at Vuncouver, which brought over from the Orient 200 Chinamen on her last trip, but how many of these will be on the Danube Mr. Flnluyson does not know. more to go home and pick the wild flow era from the vicinity of Lucerne. And he will, too, If the good ship which he expects to sail from New York on next month does not get shipwrecked. He Will start from Astoria next week, visit ing the midwinter fair on his way. CLEAN UP. Th unexpected will happen, unless the party who has the care of trolley car Noi 7 Is not more particular; , Ye' terday an oil can, with a lot of greasy cotton waste In a box, was left under one of the scats near enough to solr the skirts of any lady who might have been so unfortunate as to sit on that side oi the car. While they are removing the oil can, It would be a good idea to clea i.p under both seats, too. A GOOD RECORD. The little tots in Miss Fossett's school are preparing for an examination, which will commence next week. There are 37 scholars in her room, and during the past month there have been only four days' absence charged up to them as a whole. This is doing quite well, when It Is understood that this report covers a time of year, when children are more liable to sickness than almost any other time of, the school season. SHIPS 1" HAT PASS IN THE NIGHT. It will not be many moons before the old custom house In Uppertown will have fallen down, and then another of the old land-marks will have disappear ed. .It is getting more shaky every day, and the props placed against It are vacillating, too, so the old citizen who wishes . to visit It and sit under the shade of its porch once more to review the memories of the past had better do so at once, for It will Itself soon be one of the things of the past. FINE LABELS. At George & Baker's cannery there were but few fish brought in yesterday but the cannery hus a new label called 'The Palm," which, If It means any thing, means business, for It s as pretty and neat a label as ever came to the Coast. Cannerymen seem to he paying more attention each year to the attrac Uveness of the packages that contain their goods, but It would be well for them not to overdo the label business, an it Is quite a large Item of expense and does not make the salmon tuste a whit better. A SURPRISE PARTY. Mrs. Cording was delightfully sur prised yesterday afternoon by a number of her friends, who fairly took posses sion of her home. After spreading an excellent lunch, which nil enjoyed with much relish, and afterwards spending an agreeable hour In conversation and social Intercourse, they departed with pleasant memories of the occasion. Among those present were Mesdames Fox, Buwhong, Gearhart, Mary Ross, W. T. Ross, Crawford, Doeneeka, Math- eno, Rueker, Morrison, Lelnenweber and R. N. Wright. COUNCIL MBKTINO. The city council met last night and transacted no Important business ex cept to adopt a resolution directing "that the auditor and police Judge of the city of Astoria advertlHe for the sale of general municipal bonds of the city of Astoria In tho sum of $;t0,000for ten years' thiw. and to bear interest at t per nmt per annum, payable semiannually." DEDICATED. IMAGINATION. Hihofleld & Hoiike claim that they were not awure what a close mlghlioi tho Wetb Coast cannery building wo until It cuuHht tire Sunday last. It might not have been a very serious lire to some, but to them It seemed the larg est conllagralUm they had witnessed tot years, and it was right iKn them from the time It started until the lnt simrk was put out. A CORRECTION. in the aacotint of the Rescue club' proceedings at the last meeting, us nub llshed in yesterday's Issue, It was stated that the program for the present Week was in the hands of a committee. It seems that this was a mistake; the com mlttee named being appointed for next week, and th Uppertown school hlng kindly volunteered to give the enter tainment for this wej k, CEMETERY TRESPASSERS. The Greenwood Cemetery Association ho been much annoyed by the deetruo tlon of shrubbery, the pulling of flow er and othor acts of vandalism com mitted at the cemetery. It is deter mined to stop such mischief In future. and to that end has posted a notice di recting attention to the provision of the law forbidding such acts, and all tres passers will be hereafter promptly pro, ecu ted. Once upon a time a church which had a' little more money In the till than It knew what to do with, instead of rais ing the minister's salary, proposed to buy un elegant chandelier,- and while they were discussing the question of whethvr to get It In New York or from Chicago, an old brother got up and wild: "For his part he didn't see what they wanted a, chandelier for. If "they did get one there wasn't uny one In the neighborhood who could piny on It." How will It lie with the new Bubcock Are extinguishers provided by the city council when they are needed? SCHOOL VISITING. Mrs. Busey, of lhi Court sU-ect school, spent a very pleasant day yesterday visiting the various schools of tho city. She has the honor of being the first city teacher who hus visited the Alderbrook school this year, and siHnks highly of the thorough .work done there; com mending especially the marching and drills of the primary department. The distinguishing excellencies of the Up pertown ami Cedar street schools are well known, and she found that they fully sustain the reputation they hav iH mod In the educational work of the city, , ROOF LEAKED. '. In January,' Agent Lounsberry had the roof of that part of the U. P. dock, painted, which was put on after the big blow last fall. It cost nearly 1400 to paint It, but ft was good paint, the salesman said,- had gas In Ity among other Ingredients. And when It scaled off In places his explanation was ,'Hhat that was where the gas was leaving the paint" ' . ,.f v-r - ; Anyway the gas must have predomin ated the mixture, as it all came off, and now the roof has got a new coat of an other kind, which Is guaranteed, ; and Mr. Lounsberry has the worry of ' a rusty, leaky dock roof off his mind once more. fiW'5f-SBi..":.,!;.'"".i;i'''..'

Reduced fare via all the leading steamship lines. Friedman's Gonsigi.ee Sale Has revolutionized Astoria. It has changed the prices of clothing that the people begin to purchase at home and don't go to Portland for them as before. The merchants are now afraid that If a railroad should come to town' It would bring more people here, and among them there is liable to come men that will engage in the clothing, hats and dry goods business. Therefore it puts them to the necessity of getting another ordinance through so as to prohibit any railroad company from bringing any perrons here that will sell clothing, dry goods, and hats, and they will ask the council to enact an ordinance to pro hibit cars coming here with goods Buch as they sell, and all railroad cars that may hereafter bring here new goods shall pay a license to the city of $400 for each car load, and $400 for each pas senger who intends locating in Astoria and engaging in the clothing or dry goods trade. . ' And be It further enacted, that the city of Astoria be fenced In against all intruders, such that would dare come here and bring a nice stock of clothing or dry goods, and offer the same for sale here for less than the old mer chants who have kept their old stocks on their srelves for yeira and have ha, I the trouble of dusting and 1 jruahinn them so long, and they will pray to have the ordinance passed in en- night and become a law immediately aftor its passage.
