THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, , WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 1', 1894 QUEER SPRIGS OF GENTILITY. Prince Victor Napoleon has, I hear turned over a new leaf, got rid of the feminine entanglement that had es- trangeu nun iium bh rii-uue !' - pie, mciuuing nis rciauvcs, ana nas ei- fected a reconciliation with his aunt, Empress Eugenie.. He has evidently taken to heart the snuus wnicn ne nas ueeu receiving uur- lng the last few months, livst of all at St. Petershurg, where nis very decent; young biother was treated by the czar to en& the author to pose as the Hol es a near and dear relative and accord-' man of Astoria the -great Objector cd lmierlal honors, whereas he, the head or the house, was leu entirely un- noticed and in the background; and Bccouuiy, xj. uodco u.. Ul Princess Josephine's wedding to Prince Charles, of Hohenzollern, when not only ne yvhb not uu:u wo.., Ui,n.uiu festlvltles, but even failed to have the vlBlts that he had paid to the Belgian and foreign royalties ln Brussels at the time returned in person, as etiquette re quires, cards being merely sent Instead by equerries. . This Is not astonishing when one bears In mind that the prince was no toriously living with an antiquated member of the Parisian demi-monde. whose only attraction lu. his eyes was her vast wealth. The Intimacy has been of many years' standing. And it was this that his father referred to when ho used to remark that Victor's means of livelihood were "Inavouable," that Is to say, unavowable. Yet the late prince was certainly no prude, and wa3 known in his day as one of the most profligate royal personages in existence. Over and over again we have Victor's brother, his mother, his uncle, King Humbert, and his aunts. Princess Ma thilda and the Empress Eugenie, en treating him to cut adrift from the woman, offering to provide him' a fair income If he would do so. But until re cently he has turned a deaf ear to their requests, preferring unlimited means rtnd a household mounted on a royal scale from unclean sources to a mod erate Income of respectable origin. Now, however, he has at length seen the error of his ways. " He has been spending a fortnight at Farnborough with Empress Eugenie, and Inasmuch as she, during the course of his visit took him with her to Windsor, where' he dined with Queen Victoria and slept at the castle, we may take it for granted that the Imperial rake has reformed. It Is noteworthy that the English court fully recognizes his chieftainHhig of the court of Bonaparte, for In the court circular which is edited by the queen ln person, he is described as "his imperial highness, Prlaae Napoleon," and at dinner sat at the queen's left, the czaiowitz occupying the seat aw her rlsht. As In the case of Dumas' Monte Chris to there has always been a swift schoon er and a steam yacht -with steam up ln the little port constructs by the Archduke at the foot of the hill. They are ln readiness day and night for in stant departure, and frequently, ln the morning, one or the other Is found to have sailed during the night, with its Imperial owner on board, who re:nains absent for whole months together, with out any Intimation being received cither on his island home or at Vienna us to his whereabouts. The collections of art treasures, an tiquities and bric-abrac of one kind and another that he has picked up during these mysterious trips are something beyond conccp'tlon. The buildings on the property are simply stocked with them, and when the moment comes for the archduke to take his place In an other world the museum that secures possession thereof may esteem itself fi.itunata Indeed. Only once has he been .vUited by a member of the imperial family, and! that was a couple of years ago, when the empress staid on the Island for a week. Mme. l'Archidue and her fair charges being relegated to another abode for the time being. Shipwrecks of royal personages are so rare in modern times that they at tract an unusual amount of attantlon. The only other one that has occurred in late years, barring, of course, the loss of . Archduke John's ship, was the foundering of the Princess Alice, the steam yacht of the prince of Monaco, oft the Riviera; coast. I believe that she was subsequently raised and It Is now once more afloat and in commis sion. The Empress of Austria's yacht, the Oreif, it is true, struck a reef some where in the Mediterranean a year ago, but managed to get oft without sustain ing much injury and without having been obliged to disembark her majesty.. COMMUNICATED. Editor Astorian: - In your Issue of Friday, July 27th, there appears an article purporting to be "A Report Containing Some Very Interesting Facts." With all due deffer ence to the author, who is evidently emulating Mr. Gradgrlnd In his pursuit of facts. It is very apparent to the care ful reader that facts are not always synonymous with truth. The author "estimates" by some men tal process of -his own, the number of high school pupils as 58, whereas, ac cording to the enrollment the number as stated by one in authority is 70. Either much has been omitted ln giv ing the data, or there Is no great degree of accuracy in" the arlthmatlcal calcula tion. For example, $14,506.50, "the total salaries of the teachers." divided by S84, "the total enrollment," gives $14.83 aa "the average cost per public school pupil,: Instead of $22.90 as staled. Another fact (?) given, "the total teachers' salaries in the high school amounted to $2750 a year." The real facte are -these: Prof. Wright's work Includes ' the supervision of all the grades ln the building n amount of work considered In most cities sufficient without any teaching. It is then plaltv . unfalr to he is exclusively prln c,pal of the hffh gchooi. - One assistant hajj aI(Jo a,.

The present rate of school tax Is 2 1-2 mills 12.50 on every $1000 assessment the price, forsooth, of half a box of cigars. . Is any taxpayer ln this enlightened age so benighted, so lost to a sense of his duty as a citizen, as to grumble because a small part of that tax is ap plied to running the high school? Our frlnd says 20 per cent is go used, though this is too large an estimate. Granting the 20 per cent, It would be four bits on every $1000 he is assessed a sum easily thrown away on some trifle or self-indulgence without a thought but spent for education ah ! that Is a very different matter.

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- tiering Alalma -iln. matA must present the same properly verified! to the undersigned within six months from this date. Julr 5th, 1894. ELIZABETH McLEAN, Administratrix. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder Contains a AboobIs or Alans. 1 ttT IP 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 ln the back 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 his 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 petltor lets the public know ln an in telligent way through the local papeia what he has to sell and when be has 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 busi ness, and to get his share of tho trade he must advertise, and to do it in the most skillful and intelligent way. If he cannot write advertising matter himself, he seeks the aid of some one who has 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 it is to take off the shoulders 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 hold it; something of Interest, something out of the ordinary, something that is different from others of the some 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 adrtlaement 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- anee of tne advertisement writer In get- tins; up ad. attractively, so much addi tional" The Astorian charges nothing extra, the services of the erpert being; thrown In. , ' For dearhart Park, The steamers Telephone, Dwyer, and Electric, all leave Astoria at 4 p. m. every day to connect with trains lor Gearhart Park.
