An AmiTliun variety company came to
'arums recently, tinder th mnnneemrnt
of Caballoa A Tatalll. It Included aeverul
Rood arrohullc and gymnastic perfO;mi rs,
and two sharpshooters, a man and wife,
uilvertl-cd as Colvmnn and Mexls, whose
work ion became the talk of the town.
The malinger. Caballoa, who had a long
experience with Itnrnum and nalley'a c!r-
iia in tno united States, thought that
It would Increase the prestige of his show
If he could have a prlvatn exhibition of
shooting In the presence of the prraldent.
Ti e ihlng was arranged, and on Sunday
morning Mr. Col. man decked his long.
lean body In a dresa ult, with a string
of medals In the lapel of hla ronl. Mlsa
Mexls donned a pretty dress, with a .k'rt
reaching to her knees, a pair of ton hoots
and a military cap. Mr. Caliallos, wear
ing a diamond pin as larce aa an acorn,
escorted them to tho yard back of Santa
Inex. the presidential mnnl n. where the
target were all put up and all details
attended to before tho president and th
person who happened to be visiting him
were called out to see the shooting.
The exhibition began with fr.ney shot
at glass ba'l. The woman, Miss Mexls,
broke balls her husband held In hi hands
She grai ped her rltle in all aorl of posi
tion. She stretched backward, forwnrd,
up and down and at each crack a ba'l waa
shattered. Coleman put a ball on hla
head and posed before the target. Then
Miss Mexla turned to General Crespo and
told him that she would deem It the
greatest honor of her life If he would
place the ball on hla head. The president
was amused by the proposition. Ho turn
ed to tho manager and aaked:
"Is It a safe thing to do?"
"I will answer for her with my life,"
dramatically replfrd Caballoa.
"Very well," said General Crespn, "I'll
try It, Just to show what conlblence 1
hnvo In North Americans."
Mrs. Crespo did not seem to feel the
samn ronflilenc In th woman, at the
retired without awing any mar of the
shooting. Tlia pr,-Wwil walked forward

New York. Jan. li. Member of the

circular lettir from J. P. Morgan A Co.,
releasing them from commitment to fur
nish their prorata of tl'O.OOO.iM) In gold,
and a second ll0U.iW.uiO If desirable, tak
ing payment In t-per-cent government
bonds. The circular conclude:
"I feet perfectly satlstltd that there ia
no pirstlon aa to the success of the pop
ular loan."
New York. Jan. 15,-Wall street wa
avrerably urprled today to find that
the formal announcement of the dlssolu
lion of tho world-famous government
bond syndicate was not followed by any
sensational developments. Aa to the loan
Itself no doubt is expressed aa to Ha being
fully subscribed, or even largely over
subscribed, and Ihe Increases! competition
for th. bnnd.s. owing to the apiiearance
of members of the syndicate as Individ
ual bidder. I expected lo make a very
satisfactory rise In Ihe prospects of the
treasury department.

thill the bond syndicate had been

' rim's purpose In releasing his asso
:t j. it is believed. Is to gl ' them an
pull chance with other banks nnd flnan
al Institutions to secure whatever part
v the loan they may desire. The onl
rr"!elsm so fur heard, of Morgan's public
stiiteii'ont. I that his assertion that he
was "Invited to Washington for a confer
ence" Is misleading, as the natural infer
ence Is that this Invitation came from
the president, or by hla sanction, from
some member of the cabinet. This, It Is
said, Is not a fact. When Morgan came
to Washington, the president declined to
see him: nor. It Is added, did he confer
with any member of the cabinet at the
president's suggestion.

WHAT SHUSTER SAID.
London, Jan. 15. At the half-yearly
meeting today of the Union Bank of
London, the new governor of that Insti
tution, F. O. Schuater. said that the pre
vailing Impression that a large Increase
In the stock of gold wa due to Increased
production wa Partly true. It waa from
the United 8tatea. he added, that the In
crease was chiefly obtained. Imports
from the United 8tates, continued Schus
ter, were dmr lo th currency troubles,
and the want of confidence arising there
from. But, In hla opinion, tho troubles
would not continue much longer, and
when these difficulties were overcome,
as he could not but hope they would be
sooner or later, the tide might turn the
current Into the opposite direction, and
It mltiht set In with great rapidity and
force.
MILLS ON FINANCE.
Washington, Jan. 15 Senator Mill's
speech on finance, with frequent direct
criticisms of the president and secretary

Mill had been prominent In the senate
as the champion of the presidential pol
icy. His criticism today were tempos
ate and dignified, the senator expressing
hi high personal regard for the exeau
tlve. although differing from him rad
ically on the question of financial policy.

e olutlon that all government obligations

Walters have grievance at well at
waitresses. In some London restaurants,
where the customers' tips pay th wait
ers' wages, th proprietors put a tax on
these tips by compelling th waiters to
pay td In th pound on th value of all
food sold. In the case of a large party,
where the waiters receive only on tip
for serving a number of people, he Is out

the tax which hit employer demands
from him.

A prominent Portland buslneaj man who
visited Astoria yesterday. In commenting
upon in article in yesterday t Issue, con
cerning city parks In Astoria, aald that
h was something of a property holder
In this city and that he thoroughly be
lieved In th park proposition, and that
befor very long the city would not
only need one park, but several. Th
objection railed by some peop'e. that
other question wer paramount to that
of a park, he did not consider of any
eight. "There ar alwayt thote who
cannot see very far ahead. Th history
of th building of .cities how that the
most prevalent error Is tb failure to pro
vide in the early existence of a town for
proper public placet of amusement and
recreation."
LOCATION.
At to th location of a park, from
my entire familiarity with tha tituatlon
In your city. I should say that Tongue
Point by far I the moat eligible and
best situated lte for a city park from
very point of view. It ttands at tha
head of the city, at It were; Is moat
beautiful In Itself, and possesses all the
natural advantage of land and water
necessary to meet th requirements of
th object In view. The city will surely
grow In that direction, and the place will
b easy of access, either by water, street
car or steam car, or vehicle, from any
part of the city. The location on Cox
comb hill would make another imaller
park, and, while It possess a little more
extended view. It will tack the advantage
of water, which always forms a very ne
cessary part of a public park.
"SOME OF THE REASON8
Why Tongue Point is th place for a
park may be summarised in th fact that
that portion of th city known as Alder
brook Is sure to advance rapi-lly. Mr.
Hammond owns thirty per cent of the
Tongu Point property in hla subsidy.
wenty per cent of the Van Duaen tract.
twenty per cent of tbe Alderbrook tract
and twenty per cent f Powell's addl'lon.
Th Union Real Estate Company, J. o.
Han thorn, and th Tongu Point syndi
cate are largely Interested In that portion
of th city, and have offered the railroad
company for a
DEPOT SITE "
An of th waterfrontare from the Eagle
cannery to the buoy depot, extending out
to the pierhead line, free of charge. Th
controversy over a depot tit at Clatsop
Milt teemt to have about run Its course
and th property owners not only cannot
agree among themselves, but are asking
gooa. rouna prices for their land. It
stands to reason that since the railroad
company cannot proceed with construc
tion of the line through the city until the
depot question It settled, and tbat they
naturally are not Inclined to pay much
money for a location, they will not wait
much longer on the Clatsop Mill people.
Whether or not the depot Is located at
the Clatsop Mill, or Alderbrook. Aider
brook property wilt be rushed to the front
and a large addition to th city built at
mat point, because the railroad must de
velop their own property. In fact, there
will be
A NEW TOWN.
With It business blocks. mercantile
houses, factories, hotels, eto. A proposi
tion Is also on foot to donate the Droo-rtv
from Tongue Point to John Day's to the
railroad company for the location of
docks, warehouses, etc Along this front
age there is a deep channsl. suitable for
the accommodation of large ships alon-
tide the railroad warehouses.
'Considering all these facts, the argu
ments, to my mind, are convincing in
favor of Tongue Point at the first loca
tion for a city park. Astoria is destined
to be a large city, and there will be
room for the development of all Inter
est; but it would teem that on the line
suggested nature herself had laid down
the law, and that while there should, and
probably will be. numerous other park
and beauty spots, the natural advantages.
extent of territory, beauty of situation,
and accessibility of Tongue Point will al
waya make it the
LEADING OBJECT OF INTEREST.
Should It be selected for park purposes.
The city cannot afford to be slow In
thla matter, even if It does nothing more
than to secure a bond for a deed on thla
property. It would not be necessary to
make any large expenditures in Improve
ment! for years to come, further than to
clean up the underbrush and open a
place where the people might gather for
recreation."
THE ENGLISHMAN SAW IT.
At a private dinner In England,"
Chauncey M. Depew says, "I toll the very
best ttory I could think of. It was
greeted with a little laughter. Next day
met my host on the Strand. He ad
vanced to me smiling, began to laugh as
he grasped my hand, and said: 'Do you
know, Depew, that was a capital thing
you got off last night capital ? And do
you know I have Just this minute been
thinking what a capital thing it was?
The point of the Joke has Just come to
me.'
I said, 'Why, It must have traveled to
you on a freight train.'
My dear Mr. Depew, I assure you I
haven't seen any freight train. I assure
you I haven t, 'pon honor. " .
An Englishman who had been In Amer
ica a long time was among a group of
gentlemen to whom Mr. Depew related
the atory. He gave a pianissimo laugh
Its conclusion, and then when Mr. De
pew turned Into his private office the
Englishman walked over to Horace Du
val, Mr. Depew't private secretary, and,
with a puttied air, asked, "Oh, I say,
what the devil did Depew mean by that
freight train?"
