THE DAILY ASTORIAN, AStOiUA, TUESDAY MMNiNU. iULY 31, 1894 A CHINESE CELEBRATION. China is this year to have an exhlbl- tlon of her art and Industry equal to , Value 20 per cent Above Its Near the great displays In London, Paris and est Competitor. . . . i I V- I v. . v, 11.. 1 Chicago, ana one wmD a world's fair If It were not that It is entirely of domesUc Instltut.on and con- m . v. . r . n nMulnnt nnfl ant Mm. pie. But, as the empire possesses a pop ulation of some four hundred millions, It Is equal to a magnificent display with out any foreign help, and the intention is to make it of unrivaled splendor. It is held In honor of the queen dowager, who attains this year her sixty-first birthday, and it will exceed in cost and splendor any display of like kind ever known in the Middle Kingdom,' or perhaps any where in the world. It Is computed that It will involve an expenditure of $200,000,000 making the outlay attending our own World's Fair lust year seem trivial in the compari son. Apart from the central display In Pekln, celebrations will be held in all the towns and cities of the empire, and the renown of the imperial lady who has really directed Chinese affairs for a score of years ' will be signalized in every form which the ingenuity and loyal people can devise. The plun of the celebration was de vised by the imperial cabinet, and cop ies of it forwarded to all the officials 'of the country, who have since been active in the requisite preparations, so that on the appointed date the land will break simultaneously into a glow ing radiance of celebration which oughtj respectai nowever m the quallty of tne to astonish the old broiwe dragons still foQd lt mak,;s to flneneg8i delicacy preserved in some of her temples and d whole80mene8Si coum not be meas associated in some obscure way with1 ered by flgureg her history and development.

She snown by statistics, to exceed the was the daughter of an obscure Manchu ga,es of a other baklng, powders corn- official, and as the youthful remaie js a merchantable commodity in China,! she was sold to a Canton mandarin. and by good luck and management be came a member of the Imperial house hold and ultimately the wife of the, emperor and mother of the heir ap parent, who did not live to mount the throne, but she placed her nephew on it and he is there yet, and she is be hing him with the reins in her hand, that yet at sixty-one shows no sign of relaglng vigor. Perhaps no woman of any period has been the Inspiring figure of such a magnificent pageant as the contemplat ed one promises fair to be; it will array all the treasures of the empire, the products of its art and Industry, and its historic trophies, going back as her sallow seers and antiquarians think, thousands of years before our era, and it will set In motion all the spectacular resources for which the land has been famous from the earliest times. The outside nations can only stand aloof and look on and wonder, hoping, per haps, that the country will not bank' I'upt itself in so' ambitious an exploit of celebration. So far as we are con cerned, we may congratulate ourselves that there is no North America female requiring such expensive celebration and no visible prospect of one. OPEN LETTER FROM MR. CORBETT To the Editor of the Astorian : Dear Sir In reference to the state ment published in last week's Astorian accusing me of expressing a contempt uous opinion concerning an oration de livered by Mr. C. J. Stupp on the 4th of July, and which was published In last Sunday's Herald under the nom ,de plume of "Timothy Callowlable'" I have this to say: First That I am not the author of that or any other anonymous corres pondence, or had In no way any con-. neotion whatever with it. Second In all my newspaper cor respondence, I have never said or done aught to injure a person's reputation or expressed a contemptuous opinion Which might hurt the feelings of any one sensitive of their good character, Third I don't see Mr. Stupp's reason for having the accusation against me printed in Inst week's Astorian, as I told him last Sunday, a week ago,, when he accused me to certain persons of having been the author of anonymous correspondence published in the Her ald, "that upon my word of honor as a gentleman, I had nothing whatever to do with it." Mr. Stupp should bear in mind that it would be more creditable to his af fected dignity if he would refrain from making any chorges or Insinuations) against a person until he has posiuvei proof that his statements are substan tially correct. If the learned pedagogue deems this refutation unsatisfactory and refuses to retract his untruthful statement, I will endeavor in another communication to settle this little difficulty over a polntl of honor by a side issue.

Royal Baking Powder In Strength and The Baking Powder has. the thg rf Jtfl claB 13 greatest strength, purest Ingredients, most perfectly combined -wherever ex. hiblted in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna, and at the various state and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have in variably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World's Fair the exam ination for the baking powder awards were made by the experts of the chem ical 1 ! i !,, rt tha A oy4,u1.I1 PO 1 rfnMIt of Waah,ngton The offlela, . port of the tests of the baking powders which were made by this department for tha specific purpose of ascertaining which was the belt, and which has been i made public, shows the leavening , strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of pow der. ' Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited at the fair, the next highest in strength thus tested con tained 133 cubio inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave an average of 111.

IT ISN'T IK THE ORDINARY WA T that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription comes to the weak and suffering woman who need it. It's guaranteed. Not with words merely; any medicine can make claims and promises. What is dono with the " Favorite Proscrip- tion" i this : if it fails to benefit or cure. in any case, your money is returned. Can you aok any better proof that a medicine will do what it promises I It's an invigorating, restorative tonic, a soothing and strengthening nervine, and a certain remedy for the ills and ailments that besot a woman. In "female complaint" of every kind, periodical pains, internal inflam mation or ulceration, bearing-down sensar tions, and all chronic weaknesses and ir regularities, it is a, positive and complete cure. N To every tired, overworked woman, and to every weak, nervous, and ailing one, it if guaranteed to bring health and strength.

Notice Is hereby given that the un dersigned has been appointed adminis tratrix of the estate of George McLean, deceased, late of Clatsop county, Ore gon, by the county court of the state of Oregon for Clatsop County, and all per sons having claims against, said estate must present the same properly verified. I i . . wi..w Vi? moatbBl rpAm f nil nnlA. .Ill IV M n lhM 1 ELIZABETH McLEAN, Administratrix. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Blue Devils The business man who says that ad vertising does not pay does not adver tise. He is the one that always doubts the prosperous trade reports he hears of his competitor, who does advertise. He sits in the bock of his store, smokes his pipe and wonders why he isn't making any money. He has the blues when he should have trade. He not only lets his neighbor get that neighbor's share of the business, but a good part of his also. He sees people whom he thought old friends of his go into fciJ competitor's store and come out with bundles of goods, when he has the same articles on his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices than they paid his competitor for them. Why is this so? It is because his com petitor lets the public know in an in' telllgent way through the local papcis what he has to sell and when he lias it, The successful advertiser looks after his advertising space as he does his clerks. He changes his ads. in such a way the people are attracted by them. He feels that to make money he must be willing to spend some; that there is strong competition In all lines of busl ness, and to get his share of the trade ne must advertise, and to do lt In the most skillful and intelligent way. If he cannot write advertising matter hlmse.t, he seeks .the aid of some one who has . , .-, n made the writing of advertisements a study some specialist, who will see that It is properly written In a catchy and displayed way some one whose duty lt Is to take off the Bhoulders of a busy man all the worry of making up an ad. No business man attempts to cure his own sickness, pull his own teeth, make his own clothes or attend to his own law cases. He employs specialists for each of these various services, and saves money by doing It. It Is through its language and arrangement that an advertisement gets Its business-bringing qualities. There must be something to attract public attention and bold lt; something of interest, something out of the ordinary, something that is different from others of the same line of busi ness. To give It these peculiar features requires experience, and the owner of The Astorian has engaged the services of such a specialist for the benefit of its advertising customers who may wish to take advantage of his services. The Evening Star, of Washington, D. C, has an adartUement writer con nected with its business department, and Its terms to advertisers are, "So much blank space, so much money. The same amount of space, with the assist ance of the advertisement writer In get- ting up d. attractively, so much addl " Uonat" Ths Astorian charges nothing extra, the services of tbe expert belnz thrown in. i : 1 j . : 1 For Oearhart Park.
