The case of Mrs. Kyle, ot Upper As toria, for obstructing a public street, was to come up before Judge Osburn yesterday, but owing to the city attor ney being engaged In another case a con tinuance was granted until today. A part of the alleyway leading east from Kopp's brewery runs through Mrs. Kyle's property, and for some reason It was fenced in. In doing this a part of the alleyway was also fenced in, and the road rendered useless. This being the only convenient road leading to the hill the neighbors reading In the v.clnity made complaint. The matter will prob ably be satisfactorily settled today as Mrs. Kyle yesterday expressed a willing. ness to Street Commissioner Chadwlck to remove the obstruction. REGATTA COMMITTEE. Not the Response by Merchants There Should Be. The members of the regatta finance committee were fairly successful yes terday, In their efforts to ra.se funds, but there is a possibility that through the failure of some who will be most greatly benefitted to give tht'.r Just pro portion of the expenses, the project may fall through. The Idea seems to pre vail i.n, soma quarters that the regatta will be given In any event, but rh.s is entirely erroneous. The finance commit tee have concluded that it will be better to give back the money already subscrib ed if all do not respond, and wUl reluc, tantly abandon their work unless there is a decided change tomorrow. A num ber of the subscribers last year were men who derived no great benefit, and many of those who were enriched to the extent of several hundred dollars gave the small sum of 32.60, while a few gave nothing and reaped a rich harvest. It will be useless to give a regatta this year unless the subscriptions are much more liberal than, was the case last Aug ust, as the expenses will necessarily be much, greater. It should be remem bered that the members of the .finance committee are devoting their time with out remuneration, and in addition are compelled to spend no little money while canvassing. After the regutta Is ov.ir. if It can be arranged at all, a balance sheet, will be published showing the amounts received from each, and the dis position made of every dollar collected. so that subscribers can see that the money went Into Us proper channel Certainly no one with an ounce of busi ness sense will have the hardihood to assert that every dollar subscribed will not be returned ten-ifold or twenty-fold. THEIR EYES ON ASTORIA.

Many Relics of Prehistoric Life on This Continent. While visiting the Agassi museum at Cambridge do not forget the Pabody museum, which is separated from the c'ther only by a bit of smooth lawn. Both are located only a short distance from Memorial hall, and .ire reached through .the shaded promenades known as Dlvln' lty avenue. The Peabody collection will not be so Instructive to children as the great animals cf the other building, but for high school scholars and their elders It contains much of absorbing Inter est. In 1808 George Peibody gave 3150,000 to found a museum and a professorship at Harvard, which should be devoted to the study of American antiquities. Previous to that year thre were only a few scat tered collections In the country, hard to get at for Study and of little value from their ick of classification and arrange ment. Some valuable relics were allowed to go to England and other countries, not because their importance was not known, but on account of lack of Interest In the subject. Mr. Pieabody's generous gift, however, roused public attention to the tact that if America wished to know anything of her own aboriginal history she must take the work in hand and make her own explora tions and collection The Peabody mu seum is an illustration of what may be accomplished in a comparatively short time by men thoroughtly equipped for their work and willing to spend their splendid powers of Intellect, enthusiasm und Integrity In pushing it. There is a theory at the present time that the earliest American relic goes back about 60,000 years. To connect that historical aiMiquHy with the people who were found here in 1&30, by an unbroken chain ot sub-soil evidence. Is what the workers at the museum would like to do if possible. In one room are to be seem human footprints which were found under 16 feet of. lava la California, the discov ery .being-made while opening a gold nine. These are undoubtedly of great re moteness, in point of time and are in centives to the untiring energy, and most accurate observation In order that further information may be revealed in regard to them. - Somewhat more tnooVru things, how ever, poss?s a greater Interest ti the ctsual visttor. Perhaps the -no im pressive feature of the building is the variety of working materials used by those old time people. Besides stones and flints for weapons, they used shells and wood With, copper sheathing, ana clay .for all sorts of vessels, including large and most Unitereetlng collection of pipes, which were then, us now, ap parently, objects of much care and affec tion. Wood was used with facings of copper end even bison horn, coral, smooth shells, silver, gold and many of tne in ferior Jewels, such as Jad.te and cornel ian, were used for ornamentation, while mica and polished coal were also con sidered beautiful by them. It Is probable that trading was exten sively carried on from tribe to tribe, for ornaments of mica, which is found ex clusively ia the Carol'.nas, have been found in the Mississi ppl valley. Shark's teeth, that must have come from the Paclflc coast have been found this side of the Rockies. Bits of obsydian, of a kind found only In the Yellowstone park, have been picked in the valleys of the Tenne8iee ,bnd Arkansas rivers. Of course, all this carved material im plies tools In variety, though few are found beyond stones which have been i-eed for graving or crushing purposes. Some of the corn mortars are in almost ptrfect preservation and betray thi facts that both beauty and utility were con sldered In their manufacture. In fact, the modern viator to those relics of past and supposedly rude ages, cannot fall to be impressed with the great love those peo ple or peoples had for beauty. They had an excellently well developed eye for both form and color. Some of the vases are of the most pleasing proportions, shapely and graceful. Many of them arj decoruited In two or more colors, the painting generally of a geometric pat' tern, being done from colored earths by means of feathers or flat sticks. Some large bowls, of a curious "cross- hatched" appearance called for an ex plunatlon. Think of tha patience ie- quired to construct a large Jar from thin ropes of spun clayl Yet those peo ple did It, beginning at the base and colling strand after strand of that brittle cord until the vessel was shaped to suit them. Then, the Inside was smoothed and perhaps decorated In colors, and the outs.de might be further ornamented by coded serpents or a couple of little sprawling frogs or a group of birds. Some Jars were left with a cone-shaped base, and to Insure their safety, cushions of straw were woven, shaped for all the world like the (Inflated rubber cushions which are now used on plazas and at ball games. The pointed clay base was thrust through the opening in the straw showing the Ingenuity of the workers. Many of the ornaments and articles of dress found show that the men, no less 'thu.n the women, paid the greatest atten lion to personal adornment. Great head dresses and g.rdles of the gorgeous South American plumage are common, straw and bamboo weapons are woven In con trasting stripes, beads und shells were used as embroidery material, and the nose and lip r.ug show great diversity of Individual taste. Some of the most Interesting portions of the collection are thase from Mexico and Central and South America. The burial customs of those countries are most valuable in revealing their modes of life and trend of thought. Large Jurs and bowls of carefully prepared material ure found surrounding the mum. my cases. One large case, covered with a sort of coarsa sacking, und securely tied with ropes, Is left as It was found,' to show exactly how It looked when first dug up.
