To our Lady-Customers:
, There are too many places In this city
selling wraps and Jackets. Many of the
garments sold here are shop worn, and
eome out of retail stores In other cities
on account of being stale, but are sold
here for the very latest. For the past
10 years I have been selling Jackets and
wraps of the first grades at much lower
prices than any house In Portland, ami
have never yet deceived any customer In
order to make sale. Considering that
the city Is overcrowded with this par
ticular line ot goods I shall from this
day close out all jackets and wraps at
wholesale prlees.

THE ARMY'S WORK.
An
Excd:ent Lecture Delivered by an
Officer Lrnt Night.
Mr. James Weston, of the Salvation
Army, epoko at length to a crowded
home last night In Rcscuo Hull on the
work and alms of the Salvation Army.
He held his audience closely attentive
for over an hour and his address was
most excellent throughout. Some of the
intiaHcs were especially Interesting. Mr.
Weston explained how the work of the
Army was divided Into four parts field
work, rescue work, slum work, and social
work, and In connection with the latter
branch of the warfare stated that dur
ing last winter the Army branch In Sc
orn,, wwt n-lven 13.800 free meals, 10,100
! free beds, and 9.000 free baths.
His description of the slum work in
. large cities, the constant attendance on
! the sick, the Tabor of keeping clean bed
! ridden people, supporting and lightening
' the lives of the wives and children, ot
i drunkard.", and the general lifting up
I of the lowest types of humanity was
I full of pathos and many people In the
audience were deeply affected1 by the
I plain and uncolored review of the every
I day life of an olllccr engaged In that
j field. The rescue work, which embraces
the salvation of fallen women, was
spoken of and described at length, In
1 tertnersed with many .interesting anec-
dots" of wonderful conversions and tri
umphs over difficulties of every descrip
tion. Thirteen years ago there were
In the Cnlted Slates 5 corps and U offi
cers. "Today," continued the speaker,
"Goil 'blesses our work through 555 corps.
over 2,000 ofllcers, and a million men and
women. We arc saving 3,000 fallen women
pverv veir In our rescue homea. JWe are
i v..rv Hhv In the United States
2r..(KiO homeless men. Our gospel Is
r.reachcd In 29 different languages and
in the past year 1,250,000 people have at
tended our services on the Pacific coast
alone. And the last year's work In. the
United States has cost us altogether
G,(X), not as much as many preachers
receive individually in big cities for
i ear's labor. Our officers on the aver
ae get $2.07 every week, out of which
they feed, clothe and board themselves.
"We are bringing the world to the feet
of CJod," concluded Air. Weston, "and
who can say that our mission Is not tho
most holy crusade ever waged among the
sons of men?
THE CLOSE.
Fisher's Opera House Packed to Over
flowing.
The cloning entertainment last night
of the Racon Stqck company at Fisher's
was given to a packed house and the
Justly celebrated company acquitted
themselves in a perfect manner. The play
was the "Estate of Hannibal Howe" and
Is a representation of th9 serious sldo
of the work of the Salvation Army. Com.
fdy and pathos are combined and Mr.
Haeon was In his clement, while Mr,
'Webster In the leading character, and
Ed 'Ilurgess In the comedy part were not
only equal to the requirements of the
parts, but were most enthusiastically
received by the irgo audience. "How
muny kinds of law arc there?" was a
question that was never answered. The
entire play Is a tory from life, replete
with truthful Incidents. Tlv ladhis of the
company, one and all, lll.ed their roles
perfectly and captivated the audience
with their winning ways and -womanly
Impersonations.
Astoria will always welcome tho Bacon.!
and hope that they will soon come again.
Prof. Heggs Is to be congratulated upon
tho most successful opening of the new
opera house und
the businesslike and
pleasing manner in which the whole en
gagement was handled. It goes without
saving that whatever entertainment lie
brings here will be tlrst class In ev?ry
particular. Astoria has long needed' Just
sucli enterprise. Mr. Heggs l now In
ccne.'ponilence with Hragg & Muller for
th.' Grand Star course, and If proper sup
pert can be had he will close the con
tract for what will prove a series of
Fplt ndld entertainments.
In all justice Mr. .1. F. Cordray, the
manager of the Hacon company, and the
well known theatrical man of Portland,
must not be forgotten, for without ihls
nerve ami enterprise Astoria would not
have had the week's entertainment. Mr.
Cordray brought Ills own scenery from
his Portland house and spared no expense
or p litis to make the opening of the new
hou-e n success In every partlcu.ar. Gen
ial and open hearted, he wins frl.'nds
everywhere and will be welcomed when
he returns' with another entertainment.

WOOLY JOURNALISM
Some Extracts Reprinted From
Astoria Daily "Bladder."
CHAMPION OF 1 HE PEOPLE
How the "Bladder" Jealously Guard
ed the Cause of Truth, Hu
manity and .lust ice.
Whllo raiding a gambling house one
night last week the police came across
a file of la publication termed the "As
toria Dally 'Bladder," which was prompt
ly contlucated. Through the kindness of
the authorities the Astorlan will be en
abled from time to tlmo to publish ex
tracts from this "newspaper." The fol
lowing paragraphs will serve to some
extent to give people an Idea of a Btyle
of Journalism that flourished In Astoria
before the coming of the railroad:
(Selection No. 4.)
The Bladder' political campaign Is now
on and shisters will please take not' of
same. We are going to run a citizen's
ticket again this year, which the noble
success of our scheme 2 years, ago beck
on us on to more victories. The Demo
crats, outside of two or three soreheads
Is organized In there might, and the citi
zens ticket thla year is going to play
hokey once more. Old Bill Stypher has
come Into the fold. At first he was leary
but we showed him how Republicans
couW vote the citizens ticket without
hurting thelrselves and he Is one of our
host. If the boys will only hoop her up
and get about 200 more republicans roped
In we can make the citizens gag go
again. And why not? By their fruit ye
shall recognize them land this two years
been the fattest In tho history of the
burg.
The high- collar dudes who ga to the
theatro to o'gel and disconcert the lady
actors have got to quit. A theatre is a
place of recreation and not a flirting
place. Go easy boys we are onto you.
Tho hogwash in the morning sheet abou:
purity and morals makes us sick.
Old Lady Garnett of Skamoshwa3h has
pungled up at last. We didn't want to
expose her before the world, and know
ing we had" go onto some things, like the
sensible lady she is, she came around and
deeded us thirty acres, though not the
best land we could wish. This is no
blackmail sheet but when one gots onto
certain matters he should be reeom
penced for his celerity.
The Bladder is now preparing to put
In the markets an addition to Skamosh
wosh bought by us at great expense. It
will be subdlvisioned into good sized lots
and we guarantee the proper title to the
land which Is in no wild cat addition
but a good' and true Investment. With
each lot the purchaser enn get a share
of stock In our paper, alono worth the
price charged which Is rive dollars for
lnsldts andl ten for corners. i
I
At l'at the amateur rag is to be done
up, and It Is time say we. Gentlemen j
v, ho have had all a lifetime's experience
on the best papers in this continent has
came and will start ai-new morning daily
Immediately. They will have no compe
tition. The measley rag on the corner
Is on Its last legs and even now Is rotten
to tho coar. They will at once start
a live newspaper and If they want the
Bladder's help we will loan them our
route 'boy for two or three months anu
put them up to some things besides that
will make the amateur rag's head swim.
Their is a few tricks of the trade such
as clipping out faker telegraph and such
like which we flatter ourselves wo aro up
to, and can give our friends a few solid
bints hbout tho came. Success to you
boy.9, and may you kill the (liny monop
oly sheet In short order.
Thero Is a lady in destitute circum
stance In this town and It has come
to our ears that she is In a state border
ing on penurlousness. She lias severe.il
children, and all ixro starving. Her name
withheld for obvloti.s reasons, not wishing
to let our right hand know what our left
hand doeth and there la no need to pub
lish her mime for the sting of poverty
to point Its linger at her. The Bladder
hu'S be-n much moved by this case, and
our collectors will visit you in the next
few days for subscriptions for this worthy
object. Cash ' only, or certified checks,
made out to tho Bladder edkjr, Is
In order. We will attend to the rest,
such as provisions 'buying tiring &o. We
have ran this charitable kind of tiling
two or three times before and Its has
been always a success beyond all expect
ations. Get out your pocket books boys
and give without stint. The lady will
bless you for your kind hearts.
If people think that we are the only
ones who have got It In for Hammond
they are slipped up. There Is others with
more power and ability thin we, such
powers gained by reason of his previous
intimacy with the man who can roast the
liver out of him, and as can be seen by
a glance at our editorial columns our
frlond Is getting It hot.
The low lived Bladder thief has got
In his work again but was caught In
the net. Last Wednesday he approached
a widow's stoop as the evening dusk was
setting In and rtole up a copy of the
Bladder. The widow seen him through
the window and f.iys, "O sir, don't de
prive me of that, It Is a necessity to me
unj mine,, and take anything else but
leave me that." And we are creditably
Informed that the black hearted scoundrel
laughed In her face and that he answered
by putting the Bladder in his Jeans and
feloniously making off with It. But the
reckoning is at hand for ail such dirty
work. We -vllf donate the agent ot
the dirty morning rag a copy of the Blad
der, but It ye are men don't seal it from
widows.
The following attribute lo ourilves is
received: ,
Long may the Bladder wave
And shvd its folds ;rtong the sky
And may I be there to peruse
Till I go to my long last home on high.
Such paper Is the bulwark
Of our constant tears and deep care
And It will surely ' -
Ever have my sincere prayers.
Yours truly,
A ADMIRER.
We have completed arrangement for a
new Bladder structure In a year or two.
the vresent overflowing fur want of room
and having to transact the bulk of our
business on the street Inlde i years we
bfg to announce a elitlis ctory stone
foundation truo(ure. known as liie Blad
der Structure, and In the latest style ot
the building art. It I probable our edi
torial staff win be on the fifth floor. The
telephone numbers has not yet been de
cided on but we will let our clients know
later .bout this matter. Tlie stone used
will probably 4e brlks with Iron trim
mings. ' ' . '
r-Vaftt on our surgestiojij a.J a
give out several Jays b-f l a T" tlwre
"w a, eclipse T'the moon !a$ "T'Vi'.')f
night. It was. not muclt discerned as the
cloud Interfered, and therefor the publie
missed an astronomic, sight that I w
Inspiring thing, to say the least to see
the orb gradually swallowed up by a
black substance as If it was totally de
molished for a time.
This great mogul, thia Punjamdrum ot
Montana, cut us In the street last week.
Sal Ho! Maybe he thought we couldn't
get back at him but I am not the man
to take an Insult and swallow It whole.
We are tunning this Fheet and propose
to make It a power in the land. We
hear that people think we are going a
bit rough on the county by kicking at
the 'Pamjamdram. In the language ot
Vanderbllt "The county be damned" say
we. No man is going to-assault us and
take us for chicken hearted without a
come back. See: ' '
.
We hereby pledge to give J60 gold coin
to any man who will start a morning
paper to wipe out tho amateur rag, and
our moral assistance besides the shekels.
The Bladder can live without the rail
road. The Bladder bas bten In an exist
ing state for several month and Is still
hear and all friends of the Bladder whose
naime is legions hopes wo will still keep
the Bladder alive to do battle in the
front van of the fight for the working
man, wlch Is and ever will be the Blad
der's friend.
Thla paper now prints more copies than
all the other rags put together. We no
tice that our wager of ten thousand dol
lars a week ago still lies undisturbed In
our safe. Our new linotype presses Is
now on the way and will be here soon.
Its Journey across the continent ha been
haled with satisfaction as evidence of our
progress. The work of bringing it along
M slow, natural enough, as such kinds of
freight has tobe handled with great care
to save a breakage which would cost
the railroads a pretty penny, but the ma
chines will certainly bo here In time to
go Into our new structure which Is the
ntxt thin? on the cards.
While not wishing to throw out any
hints or Insinuations we- would like to
ask where Mr. Water Commissioner got
Ms new buggy what we seen him out
driving with last Sunday, and likewise
the costly span of horses which never
come from no legitimate earnings ot
the aforesaid man as I am prepared to
prove. It Is a pity that this ring keeps
Its laborer on the water works down to
a measley $1.7T a dny and can live In
the laps of luxury Itself.
We got two compos yesterday to take
the jobs of the striking union rats who
want to eat a man out of earth and
home. The new hands are live boys who
considers 15 cents a thousand decent
wases, which It is.
...
I If a certain man we can name proposes
I to run for office we beg to Inform that
j he has not yet fixed things up satisfac
tory with tis, and If he Is willing to do
