Thj famous Louisville artist, W.

The painting was made In a few minutes over an hour, yet Is so finished and life-like as to attract at tention everywhere exhibited.

Mr. Lounsberry is well known throughout the entire community, and his sterling Integrity Is appreciated by every merchant In the city. The O. ti. and N. certainly has one of Its best servants In charge of Its Astoria office. Apropos of the day, how mank know the number of ministers of all sorts there are in the United States?

Two railway men of renown yesterday paid Astoria a visit, and pleaded with the merchants for shipments over their respective lines. One was Mr. Allen Cam eron, general agent at Portland for the Canadian Pacific, noted for his story telling. The other. Mr. D. Ellery, trav elling freight agant of the Northern Pacific, is also famous for his photog raphy propensities. He can also tell a good story. When these gentlemen go for business In pairs, something has to give way. TE RODENTS, BEWARE! For Joseph Peoples, the Famous Rat Catcher, Is In the City. Mr. Joseph Peoples, the famous rat catcher. Is In the ;lty, and made the Astorlan office a pleasint call last even ing. This gentleman has become famous throughout the Northwest by virtue of his power over the four-footed rodents. Hi bears as striking a resemblance to the Pled Piper whom Robert Browning Immortallxed In his verv as might well be Imagined. He did not have any rats with him last evening, but promises an exhibition at an ;arly date. When asked how he came to discover the prep arations which strike terror to the hearts or win the affections of rats, Mr. P-o-pies said: "My dealings with the little rodents date back to the days of rny childhood. In England. I was suspended several times for bringing tats to school and turning them loose amongst the girls. I had a sort of power over them, and, be cause I always carried several around In my pockets, I was nicknamed 'Rats.' I richly deserved the title. "I was a boiler-maker by trade, and worked nearly nine years at the business. At the expiration of that time wages been so reduced I resolved to go Into something where I might be alone, or, at least, where I might receive respect able wage. Somehow or other, I got to thinking about rats, and wondered If some preparation could not be made to drive them away. After figuring out a great many Ideas, I came to the conclu sion that. If I could duplicate the smell of the ferret, I might realise my dreams. "Well, after four or five years' think ing, I perfected the preparation In Vlv toria, B. C, and made my first successful test in Btattle, on the steamer City of Kingston. 8lnce that time I have been kept busy driving rats oway from hotels, wharves and dwelling houses. I did not know Astoria was such a city, or I should have visited you long before this." "Does your profession pay, .Mr. Peo ples?" was asked. "Well, I guess yes!" was the reply. "When business Is good I make from 310 to $20 per day. Of course, my prepara tion Is a secret. No one knows it not even my wife; and no one Is likely to. Several chemists have attempted to an alyze the preparation, but all were un successful. I wll be In Astoria for sever al days, and Intend giving an ,:xhihltlon of my connection with rats." Mr. Peoples Is a most Interesting con versationalist, and his operations have received much space In the state paper:!. Hl wife and three children reside In Portland, to which city Mr. Peoples re cently came. OUR CORNER. A gentleman's resort, at corner Bond and 12th streets.

The committee of ten yester day morning held a meeting prior to the canvass which was to be made dur ttig the day. Plans of action were adopted, ami the separate committee for each ward Marled out upon Its labors. Chairman Noland has taken an rarncst staiul lit Ihe mutter, and In the most ef fective manner urged upon his co-workers the necessity of prompt and rfflctunt work, lits enthusiasm was communi cated to the others, who. In fact, needed no stirring up. Hut like th general ot an army al-out lo iio Into action, he made a stlrntw appeal which had Its Influence. Al I" o'clock last night the sub-conunlt-tees reported Ihe result of their work for the day. and the entire report Is eh en below : lleond expectation, the commute on Its first day's work, secured all extraor dmarv showing In the history of such enterprises, tt has hern the rule 111 Ihe past, that the first day or two of work did not come up lo expectations.

In linos of war. they seemed willing to do anything aid everything In their power lo advance the cause of right A noticeable feature of yesterday's sule. si-rlptlons was the IPxrullty of th Chin ese merchants.

This prediction : will no doubt he carried out If the pres- ; ent feeling amongst the a-ople Is so- , tXlned. The benefits to be derived from the ,1m- : mediate closing of this matter cannot he , overestimated. Every class of business ' In the city will prosper with the corn- ! mencemenl of active work, not only on ' Ihe railroad and depot, but on the ia- i rlous large enterprises protected by out side capital.

There was considerable discussion on the streets yestenlay concerning the probable action of the city coun cil In regard to levying a tax for the support of the street hydrants, number ing about 100, of the new water system. As far as the position of the water commission is concerned, they are help- less. There la but one thing lo do, mid that Is to raise Hi ..Vu' p r yeni' ne cessary lo support the plant, anil pay Ihe Interval oil th bonds, Now It Is Im material lo lb commission who pays this yearly sum. The only course the) have nl present Is lo chaise It lo tho consumers of water. Hence the llfly per ivni Increase lit the householdets' water rents, it I plain to the most obstreper ous kicker. Hint tha course pursued by the commission wus the only one left open to II. That II worked a hnrshtp UHn hundreds who were scarcely able lo nils the old rates. Is well known lo everybody' The only way In which ro ller can come Is for tho council to levy a lux of say twenty per cent, to b collected from tho acitcrul taxpayers of the city, fur Hie additional protection to their properly received by reason ot the establishment of street hydrants. A reduction has been made by the Insur ance companies In their premium rates, because of Astoria's niagnlllccui water sy.tcm. This means a saving In cash yearly, lo prot-rty owners, of sImiui $?o.ssi. Tho lax nsked to be lmHincd oiKih these property owners by ihe council of led.', or only Iwrniy per cent of Ihetr actual cash savings, under the existing water facilities, is certainty a (air deal. If Ihe council lakes this action, Ihe rales to consumers can be placed twtck lo th Ititoi'c In vitgue le fore the change. one of Ihe best known properly owners In the city said last night to an Astorlan riivrtcr that he was thoroughly in sym pathy with the mole, and could see no reason whatever why the poor cona'imera and renter of hotm-s from rich property owners should lie made lo Uar Ihe bur den of those who are exclusively bene fited by Ihe Increased rtr protection. He said: "I do not think that the city council will care lo oppose this measure In the face of popular demand and tbe Interest of the wage earners of Ihe city. If they do, ihey will certainly prove themselves most derelict in llielr duly and lacking the moral courage lo do what Is obviously the right and Just thing " .V I'OITI.ISTIC HAHANiU'K. t.encral .-aver ,ddrcss. d a l.ar-e Audi ence l,ast Fvnnitig.

The audience was In sympathy with htm, for every time Ihe general paused much applause followed, and every time he smiled the uudlenc roared with laugh tor.
