One thousand copies of the old sang "Ben Bolt," which Corrlnne will sing next Friday, have been distributed among the citizen by Manager Regies. Brass bedsteads are now to be bought for such small sums that no one need be debarred from having these prettiest of bedroom furnishings in their homes. The following Portlanders were in town yesterday: J. Joseph. L. M. Gordon, Charles Schnabel, Alex 8. Week and W. H. Braden .all of whom registered at the Occident. George Nelson, manager of the Scandi navian Fishermen's Packing Company, returned yesterday from a visit to Cali fornia of several weeks' duration, much improved in health. At Kearny Hall last night a large num ber of Danes had a dance and social gathering. The evening was a most suc cessful one In every respect, and the festivities were carried on up to a late hour. The rehearsal yesterday afternoon for the Gypsy Fantasie was well attended, and those participating say that It will without doubt be one of the most beau tiful entertainments ever seen on Aso ria's stage. Secretary Holden. of the Chamlier of Commerce, reports that the committee to whom was referred the question ot the annua report, has not yet completed Its labors, and that th report is not ready for publication. It Is rumored that one of the beautiful ball costumes that will be seen at the As sembly dance Is of sky-blue silk bengal ine. The balloon sleeves terminate at the elbow, and the epaulettes are mad of fayence velvet. The residents of Lewis and Clarke were In the city yesterday In full force. Among them were noticed C. 8. Dow, J. D. Ma chedo. C. H. Withers, Olof Erlckson, W. Hampton Smith, W. J. Ingalls, W. J. Heckard, and T. Olsen. One of the scientists rays that the sun, if bollow, would hold three hundred thousand earth globes, and an eye capa ble of hourly viewing ten thousand square mile would require fifty-five thousand years to see all Its surface. The I'pper Astoria Soclnl Club held its rerular meeting Friday evening. Many visitors were present and enjoyed the ex cellent progiam. Next Friday night the club exiects to have a lady phrenologist present who will add to the entertain ment. Mr. J. O. Hanthorn lias a musical in strument at his home In East Astoria called a regina. and, ringing up the As torian office yes'erday, treated the em ployes to some beautiful music ovr the wires, lor ail of which we are truly grateful. Nearly all of the right of way for the railroad has been cleared up, and It is hoped that the depot site question will be soon disposed of. It was understood yes terday that further favorable progress had been made by the committee In charge. The Assembly Club entertainment and dance tomorrow night will not doubt be one of the best attended social affair of tho season. Everybody who is anybody seems to be going, and every where is ex pressed the determination to make It a success. Dr. Alfred Kinney, who returned from his Portland visit yesterday, stated that business in the city by the Willamette, appeared to be rather dull, although he noticed Friday afternoon quite a number of people on thestreet enjoying the fine weather. C. L. Huston, who has gone to Port land presumably on a pleasure trip, some of the boys have ifitimated, is matrimo nially Inclined, and will before his return possibly complete a contract with a for mer well-known Astoria lady. His friends are all ready to give him a hearty wel come should the surmise prove true. A. Maxim, and Sidney Campbell, cf Warrenton, H. Juntllla, of Crooked Creek, Mrs. Snyder, of Knappton, Tom Hender son and Mrs. A. Carlson, of Young's riv er, John Nelson, of Oneida. John Klrkka la and Erlck Maunula, of Deep River, and Fred Olsen, of Olney, were among the country visitors In the city yesterday. Yesterday was one of the exceptionally dull days which occasionally visit Asto ria. As a rule Saturday Is a good day In all lines of business, but yesterday's exception proved the rule. -The heavy fog seemed to put a damper upon everything and the damper people got the less they felt Ilk doing any work or making news. ' The heavy'fog yesterday evening which settled over the river and city made nav igation rather difficult. Outgoing steam ers were obliged to blow thcTr-Jvhlstles coiu-taiitly, and the response Irom the brlla of the ship lying at anchor, made pleasant music for the landsmen. Inn It was not exactly the kind that a suitor likes to hear. Near the old Devlin cannery yesterday, a small boy fell overboard, and was res cued from drowning by Adolph Johnson, who was working on a new holding In the neighborhood at the time. Mr. John son had to Jump Into the water, which was quite deep at the time, tho tide be ing in. and had it not been for his ef forts, the child would have been drowned. The water main at the crossing of Com mercial and 17th street, burst yester day afternoon with considerable force. Fortunately no one was standing about, and no special damage was done, and the l"aclllc Hrld -e Comiwny will have to put In a piece of ti.-w pipe. This Is the unlv accident or Daw which bus occurred In the distribution system, and the water commission Is to be congratulated upon 1 its escape from other troubles of this nature. I Manager Besrirs received a telegram I yesterday booking "Little Corrlnne." the I child wonder, for next Friday night at Fisher's Olera House. Corrlnne has play ed to packed houses wherever she has I played on the coast, and the entertain ment that she Is putting up this season is far beyond the average. Her own charming personality of Itself will always draw a crowd: but when coupled with a line support, and a well-staged oera, the "standing room only" sign is hung out nightly.

It iroe without j aytng that th xlsitors will be royally ; entertained by both tho F.Iks and the j press, and what they don't know about J Astoria on their return, won't Mil a book. Manager Clinton of the Sunset Tele phone Company, received a letter yes terday from the head office In Fortland regarding the advisability of operating a night and Sunday service in this city, a pel I Ion for which was recently circu lated In this city and largely signed. The management states that, if the slxetrn small telelihones now In use are rolc,t by the larger and Improved ones, makln an increase In cost of not more than uo cents per month each, the additional ser vice will lie forthcoming. It Is thought the proposition will lie accepted. Judge Cleveland, who has liern nailing up on big guns, remarked to an AHorlan representative last night. "Isn't that new Colt gun. which has Junt been adopted by the navy department a terror It Is about as destructive a weapon as you can well conceive. It can be carried by cavalry on the saddle, as It only weights about forty pounds, from place to place, and even the Infantry, at pinch, could transport a few hundred to a convenient spot for defence or attack A continuous lire can be kept up of four hundred sbou a minute not an hour which startles the Imagination. At recent trial a target the size of a man, was placed at a distance of two hundred yards, and one hundred hits were made In sixteen seconds. If we are not carcfu It will become very dangerous to go to war. This thing would mow men down as a farmer mows grass. Ugh!" The city Teachers' Association held Its regular monthly meeting yesterday in the Shiveiy school, the following teachers b Ing present: Professors A. U Clark, and Albert Williams, Miss Weed, Miss White, Miss (1 runnel I. Miss Mary Dealy, Miss Young. Miss Shlvely. Miss Josie Dealy, Miss Garner, and Miss Nlckerson. The election of officers for the ensuing term then took place, after a discussion aa to the advisability of so doing, owing to the poor attendance. Prof. Clark was unanimously reelected chairman at,d Miss Mary Garner secretary. Owing to the absence of the principal of tho Shlvely school and his failure to arrange for prop erly heating the building, an adjournment was taken. The school board has re quested all the teachers In the city to attend these meetings, and the small nt Kndance yesterday was striking in th: extreme. Despite the fact that Chinese New Year Is with us, and that, during this season all good Chinamen do not fight, a row occurred In a Bond street China house last evening which, but for the timely Interference of two white men, would have proved fatal. During the New Year's holidays the Chinese play a game In which six or eight usually participate. They gather around a large table, on which stands a bowl of gin. The fun then begins. One man asks another some question, or at least, so fur as a re porter could understand, says something, whatever It might be, to which the man whom he addresses must answer correctl and promptly, the penalty for his failure so to do being that he must partake of a small howl of gin. During the ques tioning and answering, both men shout at the top of their voices, all the time wav ing their ernis as If their lives depend ri I'pon It. In the house In question all went well until two of the participant had partaken of more than enough ilrt- water to insure domestic tranquility, ard during the arm-waving process, one man's fist came violently In contact with an other's ye. The man who was struck said nothing, but, laughing, contlnurd the game, the bystanders and his com panlons thinking he had passed the mat' ter off as a Joke. In about ten min utes his eye began to assume i.i'h'r dark ard swollen appearance, t' r.a 1 the game got around to the same tw, men again, and the yelling and gestleu latlng continued. Suddenly the man with the ornamented eye let his fist drive u! the man who had struck him, and, be fore the bystanders could realize what was going on the men were rolling on the floor, fighting like tigers, and putting forth their best and most earnest en deavors to demolish each other's conn tenances. The remainder of the China men male no effort to stop the fight, and. for that reason, the white men stood Idly by. One of the combatants finally drew a long knife, and made a savage lunge at his opponent's head, but It fail ed to take effect, the mun dodging when be saw the other's purpose. Here the white m?n Interfered and separated the Infunatc-a Mongolians. They were per sistent, however, and Insisted upon fight ing It u t. The good offices of the peace makers prevailed, however, after cne of them had told the Chinaman who had no knife that he would throw him downstairs If he didn't behave himself. The China- man evidently thought he meant it, for he made himself scarce and was swallowed up In the darkness. NOTICE. The members of Astoria Lodge No. CO, A. O. U.
