The veterans In yesterday's parade will remember how the country labored under a great disadvantage at the out break of the war because long years ol quiet had engendered a feeling of se curity In the nilnilH of the people which, although npiuuvntly Justllled by the condition of affairs, was really without good foundation, and came near costing the loyal element of the country dear. Even with the American alertness in emergencies, and the ready adaptability of our people to a change nf circum stances and surroundings, It was some ;lnm before the country was on a propel fcotlng to meet the armed assault so long prepared for by the men of the south. The movement recently started fry the Grand Army of the Republic In the east for the Introduction of military Instructions In the public schools will prove a very effective guard against fu ture surprises of the kind referred to, and should bo imitated here in Astoria nnd throughout the whole Pacific- Const region. There are good reasons why this Is more likely to be the svt'ne of s foreign Invasion than any other section of the country, and the old adage, "In time of pears preiwre for war," has e special and local application here. Thr proposed Instruction need not be In the nature of added lulmr, but rather that of recreation, and It. would prove of value to the boys In many wnys, both now and later In life; teaching them the value of discipline, the habit of prompt obedience, self-reliance and df-control In all sorts of emergencies. Disciplined bodies arj always more easily handled than undisciplined ones, and many s disaster has been averted by the coolness engendered by discipline. The expense of such additional Instruction In the schoola would be very light, and a donl!e good might be done by the em ployment of old veterans as Instructors, of whom there are still plenty left fully comment for the duty, and who would Infuse a spirit in Mie work entirely lack ing In th hmtructlona of any othrrl of men. Let the Grand Army posts of this city and vicinity lake the matter up, and thus gain the distinction of In troduclng the movement In the west. Since Populism has drawn the baser clement out of both parties, says the OregontTln, those who are laf. have much In common on fiscal and c.-onomlc fiuestlons. Probably more Republicans and Democrats will vote together this year than ever before In Oregon. They will vote together for the confusion of Populism and the defeat of Pcnnoycr. Hon. C. W. Fulton's speech In Port land the other night was one of the best efforts of the campaign. The day is not far distant when Mr. Fulton will receive the reward ho deserves at the hands of the Republicans of Oregon for the services he is now and has In times past rendered the party. RACING IN MODERN ROME. RIderleu Home, Goaded to Furious Speed tVith Dulls of Prickles. Tlio prizes for theso races were called palii, and were usually pieces of brocade jr some other ricli stuff, which was ihrown over the bad: of the horse that won and so displayed to tlio people. Wo ilso hear of a procession of tlio pahi, so no doubt they often took tho form of banner. The nobles used to deposit tliein in tlioir chapels, and in tlio lust days of llio papal Bovernmnnt tlio French sol diers substituted fortlieproceesion of the palii that of the buo griuwo, Tho pope's dragoons used to gallop through the Corso to clear it before tho race, and to warn tlio people that it bad actually started. Either mortars were fired or trumpets blown, but acci dents were perpetually occurring, and when in 1880 two people were killed just below the balcony where stood tho Queen Margherita, the Barbary races were for bidden in the Corso for the future, though renewed last year in a very mucn moul ded form around tlio Piazza del Popolo. Tho horses hail no riders, but carried two balls of lead, covered with prickles, loosely uttached by leather thongs bo low tlio neck and on tho back. So of jonrso tho harder they galloped tho more theso prickly bulls danced up und down and goaded them on. Dashing furiously along tho Corso, they were past almost before people kucw t'.iut they had started, and in such narrow street, with Bitch a crush of people on either side and somoboily al wuys trying to cross at tlio last moment or stepping out of tho throng to see if they were coming, it was small wonder that it was n dangerous game, though of course tlio danger was in part also tho attraction. A shoot was stretched across the street to catch the horses ut the back of Piazza Vonezia, in tlio passugo still called Via dclla Kipresa do Burberi, in front of which was u cord covered with wot red paint. Thin dropped beforo the rush of tho foremost horse, leaving n streak of paint on his chest, and thus nil knew nt onco which was tho winner. Uentlo uiuu'h Magaziuo: A Loud Tcluphouc. An English paper describes a telephone which will talk loud enough for iv person in any iart of n largo room to hear and understand. Mr. Graham, tho inventor ,' has succeeded not so much by an im provomnt on tlio existing telephones lis by his method of arranging tho circuit and bringing its resistance as low as possible To this end tho usual Induc tion coil is discarded, and the two instru ments, transmitter and receiver, nre di rectly connected in circuit with the line and tho battery. Tho transmitter nt ono end of tho lino is connected to the re ceiver at the other end, and two separate lines aio employed having a common re turn wire. Two correspondents can thus talk quite freely with each other, nud as the receivers speak out so as to bo hoard In any part of a room conversation can be carried on by each person simply ipenking to his transmitter. The apparatus is attached to flexible conductors and is held in the hand. To open a conversation it is sufficient to pick up tho portable transmitter and press a button in its casing, so as to es tablish the circuit. The receiver at the other end acts us its own call bell by the loudness of its voice, and the response comes tqunlly prompt and loud. The user has therefore no need to listen care fully with one or two reeelvtrs held up to his head. All ho has to do is to speak into his transmitter nnd keep his cars open. SUU'Hy DiTotloll. The beautiful Margaret of Navarro was devoted to nor nrouier, v rancis i. When he was apparently dying nt Ma drid, she found her way to him through privation and danger and succeeded in effecting his deliverance. When he was ill nt a distance from her, alio went every day and sat down on a stone in the mid dle of tho road to catch the first glimpse of a messenger afar off. And she said : "Ah! whoever shall come to announce tho recovery of tho king, my brother, though ho be tired, jaded, soiled, di sheveled, I will kiss him and embrace him as though he were the finest gentle man in the kingdom." When ho died, she seemed literally heartbroken, nnd Bhe did not long Bur vive liiiu. Youth's Companion. I U .) clanko.

WILY HETTY GREEKS . PECULIARITIES OF A WOMAN WORTH $60,00,000. She Is Old Fariiloncd In Appearance, Se verely Plain In DreM, but the Perinnlfl- . cation 'of Shrewilneu When Fiuuncial Transaction! Are Involved. ' Not a small part" of the fame of Brook lyn can be laid to tlio credit of the re markable women who liave lived and live now within its borders women who have taken rank and honor in almost ev ery walk of life. It is a well known fact that a very large proportion of the real estate of the city is held in tho names of women. It is not a widely known fact that the woman who is reputed to be the richest in the United States lives In tho City of Churches and right in tho .clas sic section known as the heights too. Her wealth is variously estimated nt from $10,000,000 to $00,000,000, and her name is Mrs. Hetty Green. Her name and personality are moro familiar to Wall street than they nre to Brooklyu society. That is because Mrs. Green has chosen to devoto all her tiino to the man ipulation of her fortune and has let so ciety get along without her. Hetty Green at an Ibpetonga ball would cre ate a sensation indeed, bnt it is not like ly that such an occasion will ever be re corded by society writers. Hosts of people havo brushed elbows with a shrewd and rather calm faced woman, apparently BO years old, rather short, wearing a plain, old fashioned shawl and a bonnet so far beyond fash ion's pale that no ono would ever suspect It had been in it, even years ago. No body ever r,aw her with a dress which was not severely plain, nnd seldom has she been noticed when she did not carry on old stylo and well worn black satchel. Her appearance would never causo the uninitiated to think that t he was any thing moro extraordinary thnu an old fashioned woman cf modornto means nnd simplo tastes, v.-lio v.-us on her way to tho corner grocery or the bakery on the block below. Yet, if money in pow er, this samo staid looking person is ono of the most powerful human beings in tho country. In an old fashioned lionr.o on a corner in Piem pont i;lreet Mrs. Green and her daughter Sylvia have lived for several years. Tho modest apartments they oc cupy nro hired from, n pleasant faced woman, who keeps tlio house and who has an admiration for Mrs. Given, which sho dees not conceal. The rich est woman in tlio United State; has n eon, who has been spending some tiino in Florida seeking to improve his health. Mrs. Green 1ms been a widow for many years, and her daughter is about 20 years old. Sinco the death of her hus band Hetty Green lias become a finan cier of unusual shrowdness. Sho has in dicated by her actions that she has small faith in brokers, and that if she want3 nnything doiio tho best way is to do it herself. The weather beaten tx.tchol has caied securities representing millions of dol lars. It has knocked about New York nnd Brooklyn nnd other big financial centers with precious burdens, and Het ty Green has always had a tight grip oa it. She dips dot believe in spending her money on things sho docs not want, and ns sho wants very little sho spends but little. Iler children and her fortune aro tho solo objects of her solicitude. Mrs. Green is said to bo very nnxions to havo her daighter lieconio ono of the lending actors in tho famous Four Hundred of Manhattan island. Soiuething of an ob stacle in tho way of this is the daughter herself, according to report. Miss Green is credited with caring ns little for tho dazzle and newspaper notoriety of a 'so cial career us her mother. She is a girl whoso tastes are quiet nnd to whom dress is a matter of little consideration. Mrs. Green, by way of a foundation for her daughter's social debut, some time ngo settled a large sum of money ou that young woman in government bonds, Tlio amount Is stated to be 13,000,000. Incidents in tho career of this remark able woman havo stamped her ns a bold yet cautious operator in stocks and se curities. When tlio financial panic of 1884 occurred, Mrs. Green had a large deposit in tv firm of Canadian bankers named Cisco & Co. of New York. In formation reached her that tho bank was in an unsafe condition, and without waiting to hear more sho went to the in stitution and withdrew her entire de posit. Tho Priu had no alternative, and after paying her her money was com pelled to suspend and hnally failed com pletely. Hetty Green is tlio largest property owner in tho city of Chicago. Sho holds tit!o to Wqck after block of land iu tho business section, and her son assists in looking after her interests there. For many years she lived in tlio western metropolis, and she spends mnch of her time there whin away from Brook- lyn. Her characteristic bargain with ex- Judge Henry Hilton is f resh in the minds of financiers. Tho money which the judge wanted so luidly is generally con ceded to havo lieon used in buying out tho interest of his son, Henry G. Hilton, in the dry goods firms of Hilton, Hughes & Co. and Hilton Bios. lie went to Mrs. Green, or his lawyers did, and made a requeet for a loan of i.S'iO.OOO in cash. Mrs. Green was willing to lend, bnt in sisted on having a mortgage ou the mar ble palace at tho corner of Broadway and Chambers street, New York, the Stewart building, which, with the land, is supposed to bo worth $3,000,000. She would take no other seenrity. aud after two months' search of the title the lar gest mortgage ever given on a single piece of property in New York was recorded. , But Judgo Hilton needed the money be-! fore the search had been concluded, and after he had place! in the hands of Httty j Green title deeds representing $15,000,000 worth of property she advanced him (SO0.00O. Aud in addition to this the shrewd speculator forced him to sign a peper agreeing that she should hold the dvrda nntil the mortago was executed Brooklyn Eagle. A CALL. Astoria, Or.. May 1st, 1894.
