This writer baa no objections to feeding; owls In show windows, and feeding them, on pigeons when properly butchered, but we protest that aurh ex hibitions are entirely too near akin to the still lingering pagan practice of bull-flghting In certain portions of so- called civilised communities. We heard more than one vigorous protest from bystanders and we. pre dict that if the exhibition was intended to draw trade it would have Just the opposite effect. A BYSTANDER. HEARD HI3 DEATH CRT. Romance of a Printing Office and a Wandering Compositor. The talk had turned to the supernat ural, and a man who has been the foreman of a newspaper composing room for a good many years down In Ireinla told the following story In the presence of a Star reporter: 'There used to be a young fellow by the name of Blank, who worked at a case In office. He was nimble at typesetting, and a very nice kind of a boy. But he would wander about the Mr. D. McAllen, of. the firm of Mc country. Thai, you know. Is the char-'Allen McDonnell, of Portland, who acteristlc of the typesetting fraternity. I never liked the habit, and never In dulged In It to any considerable extent myself. I told him one day that he would come to a bad end. " 'If I ever am In trouble I'll call on you, Frank,' re replied, genially. "Well, one day he came to me and throwing his stick on the Imposing, picture or health, and, stone said that he was going to leave 'course, the men "smile, the office and go to Norfolk. I tried to dissuade him, but all to no purpose. He was a headstrong fellow, and that settled It. About a week later I was busy at the forms getting the Inside pages ready to send to the cellar. The clock In the city hall had Just struck midnight. Suddenly I heard my name called. I thought it was one of the boys In the office who was calling, and I made no Immediate reply. Again I heard someone call In a very distinct voice. This time I recognized It as Blank's voice. " "Blank Is out In the street, and he is calling you, Frank,' said one of the compositors. "I walked over to the front window, threw up the sash and peered out. The street was silent and deserted. Not a living thing was to be seen. " 'What do you want, Blank? I called out. "There was no reply. I shut the win dow and went back to the page which I had been making up. " 'I thought I heard Blank's voice," I said to my assistant. "'So -you did,' he replied; 'we all heard him call.' "And so they had. The next day a telegram reached the office saying that Blank had been run over and killed by a train near Norfolk about midnight. Blank had kept his word. He called on me when he was In trou ble. He probably died calling for me." Washington Star. NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. From the Philadelphia Record. , A few accommodating florists and en thusiastic amateur chrysanthemum growers have allowed us to peep at the favorite blooms now In training for the fall display. Fine specimens of the celebrated "Philadelphia" have been displayed by a prominent florist, who claims that no chrysanthemum ever at tained quicker recognition, more wide spread popularity, both In this country and abroad, than this superb new varie ty offered to the public for the first time in 1896. While still carefully guarded by the florist who introduced It, it won the silver medal from the National Chrysanthemum Society of Great Britain, and dozens of medals, certificates and first premiums In all the great shows of this country. The following Is the description given by the Judges at the great Chicago exhi bition, who awarded It a certificate: "A grand, large In-curved bloom, full A Neat Dress Is what every lady wants. Mist Florence McMullen, Room 7, Man sell building, has already estab lished a reputation for making nicely -fitting garments. Prices very reasonable, and satisfaction guaranteed..- ' ' '. ..."

It Is noticed from this year's btomns that under ordinary culture the flowers are creamy white, overlaid here and there with a pale sulphur yel low; but at night, and as the flowers grow older, they appear pure white. "Mrs. E. G. Hill" has proven a great favorite among amateur growers, as It can be brought to a great degree of perfection In the rich ground, a single plant producing a great mass of flow ers, often measuring from five to six Inches across. Its early blooming la a great point In Its ftivor, and Its clear, pearl pink timings, better expressed as "La Prance" pink, make it a valuable addition to this class ot Incurving chrysanthemums. The "Ivory" Is one of the finest In what Is known as the Peerless Collec tion, and "William A. Manda" la a fa vorite among the famous yellow "o. trlch plumes." A VIEW OF ASTORIA. Mr. McAllen Writes of the Situation In the Seaside City. Oregonlan. Is now In Astoria. In charge of the firm's branch store In that city, writes the following letter to his partner, Mr. J. T. McDonnell: Astoria, Or., Nov. 24. The weather here Is all that could be desired bright, warm sunshine, with crisp, bracing, frosty nlr. Everybody Is looking tin as a matter of Astoria wears a mantle of prosperity. The people have not that woe-begone, far-away, vacant stare to be found on faces In larger cities. The Aatorians may well be proud of their city. They are well supplied with good schools, churches, fine water sys tem, free reading-room; Jail, with no body In It. and several fine public buildings. It Is a notorious fact that the town is free from beggars, bunco- steerers and confidence men (at least I have not run across any), anxious races and poverty row. There Is a quietude about the whole city which speaks well for the moral influence of the greatest fishing town I suppose on the Pacific coast. The view from the hills Is some thing grand. I visited the waterworks Sunday. The reservoir Is a fine piece or engineering safe and secure good for all time, very different from the one you have In Portland, at the city park. I understand that John Burke, of Portland, put In the water system here. I am very much pleased with As toria, and cannot say Just now when I will return to Portland. We are very busy In the store, so all the news I send you Is superficial; still Is correct. I predict a bright future for Astoria. D. Mc ALLEN. FANCY WORK.
