Crrr Hall OVSTERS Every Day and Night lt BERT CORTIIELL'S ( Neil to Co a. ) Wrecked Locomotives. The two locomotives which met in collision near Roseburg. nn the Southern Pacific, last week, have been brought to the shops on the East Siue. The en gines are Nos. 1768 and 1750, and they were literally torn to pieces. No worse wreck has ever happened on this divi sion. What is left of them is on several cars, and there are simply thousands ot pieces. On the cars are the (ragmenls of the two tenders. Here are piled up twisted bars and plates, cylinders and heavy iron parts in every conceivable shape. The locomotives were brought down on their wheels and are in the same position they were in after the collision. The front ends of the boilers are elevated, riddled and torn, showing something of the terrific force with which they came togother. Iu the center the drive-wheels are lifted about six inches above the track, as the entire bodies of the locomotives were bent upwards. Men who have been on the division for a great many years say this is the worst that had ever been brought to the chops. Tiiere is hardly a liolt or bar in either locomotive that is not bent or broken. Tho great mass of fragments on the flitcars tells something of the force of the collision, and the hundreds ot people who have viewed the wreck have wondered how it was possible that any one of the trainmen should have escaped instant death.

The National Irrigation Congress which will meet at Chicago, III., Nov. 21, 22, 23 and 24 is creating wide interest and promises to be an unusual success. The national irrigation movement has become a broad popular movement and eastern commercial interests have readily taken bold of the idea of reclaiming and populating the aiid west and tbuscreat ing a great home market for their goods. The best authorities on irrigation and forestry have been secured to speak and give illustrated lectures,, and men of natiiiiial fame and renown as orators and statesmen, will address the Con gress at the great Auditorium theater on subjects of national interest to the West. Under the constitution of the Con gress the mayor ol each city of 25,000 or less population is entitled to appoint two delegates, while cities of greater population are entitled to (our dele gates. Each agricultural college, orga nized irrigation, agricultural and horticultural association, each socie'.y ol engineers, irrigation company and each board of trade and chamber of corn mere is a I to entitled to two delegates.

Nearly every senator and representa tive who has been to Washington since the election, regardlesa ot political affiliation, has expressed pleasure that the result of the election was so over whelming that the talk of fraud and corruption which has disgusted so many after some of our national elections has been conspicuously absent this time. It is also almost generally agreed that it was the great prosperity of the coun try that brought about the result rather than blind devotion to any political party. That belief ia based upon the general idea that the average man who ia doing well la averse to taking the chances involved in making a change, even when be believes that the change might be beneficial, The rejoicing ol the dominant party has also been remarkably free from partisan rancor, which has bail a good effect upon the spirits of the defeated and added to the all around pleasantness. Podtmaster General Smith, who ac companied a delegation of Philadelphia!!! to the White House, succeeded in get ting a conditional acceptance from the president of an invitation to attend the Founder's day banquet of the Union League club, of Philadelphia, to be given on the twenty-fourth Inst. Senator Mason, who, by the way, is again a regular and welcome visitor at the White House, has announced his intention to champion at the coming session of Congress what he regards as the most important internal improve ment cotitemplsted in the middle aert legislation providing lor a survey to enlarge to a regular ship canal and extend the present Chicago drainage canal to connect the great lakes and the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi rivers and the Gulf of Mexico. He says the undertaking is of the greatest com mercial importance to practically the entire portion of the United States between tho Allegheny and the Rocky Mountains. He will endeavor to got the president to help the project along by giving it a good word in his annual message to congress, and is confident of success. If hard work and perseverance wiH win Senator Mason will, as he is lull of both. Judging from what is being printed on the auhject, it uiiuht be supposed the' all the campaign liars had been assigned to the job of writing up the proposed magnificence and grandeur of the second inauguration of President Mc Kinley. In order to make their slorios picturesque and startling, not a few of these writers have entirely dispensed with that very iiselul article known as common ...use The mere ceremony of swearing in the chosen ruler of more than 70.000,000 will of itself, be impos ing and magnificent, and there can be no doubt that it will occur amidst proper surroundings Hill all tho talk about surrounding it with all the gorg eousness and costliness of the greatest royal, pageant Europe has ever seen the London jubilee procession, is poppy cock, and can only find believers among those who do not know where the money comes fiom to pay the expenses of inaugurating a president. Not one cent of it conie-i out of public money, The residents of Washington always subscribe in advauce, tne amount the committee estimates will be needed, so that the committee will not be bum pered in Its work by lack of ready money. The receipts from thesale of tickets to the inaugural ball, privileges to the street stands, etc., usually aggre gate an amount large enough to pay all expenses and the money advanced to the comuiitiee ia returned to the sub scribers, but it is not a ways so. and tho committee does not bind ilsolf to return it. It must lie evident that the amount raised iu this way will not be larg.i enongh to provide much royal gorgeousness, Representative Payne, of New York, chairman of the house ways; and means committee, which will meet on the 20:h inst. to consider the question of a teduction of internal revenue taxea. does not pretend to say what the com mittee will do, but It is very evident from bis guarded talk that he isn't expecting a bill that Hill make sweep ing reductions. There is good ground for the belief that the bill whiib will be reported to the house will not nuke reductions of more than (20,000,000 a year, -and even that much would be doubtlol if the president had not so strongly committed himself in favor ol reducing these taxes. The prevailing idea in official and congressional circles seems to be that uncertainty as to the immediate future in China and in the Philippines, make it advisable for this government to have a staff surplus of cash on hand to meet any possible emergoncy. It is officially denied that Secretary Root's visit lo Cuba has anything to do with the Cuban constitutional conven tion, now lilting in Havana, although it ia official and will be utilized in visiting sections of the island not reached by him when he was over there some months ago. Many believe that Secretary R iot has gone to Cuba as the personal rspreseulative of the president, and that hie report of exist ing conditions will be an Important factor in the future attitude of this government toward the island. Inas much as the work of the Cuban consti tutional convention will, if completed in lime, be at once submitted to con gress, it ia not thought that the pri dent's annual message to congress will contain lany important Cuban recom mendations.

MARY HOWARD waa the prettiest chambermaid in the hotel, and Mr. I)oan waa the oldest boarder. Not ohlest In point of years, but in point of occupancy, although he was not as young as he waa when he passed his fiftieth birthday. He roomed on the floor that Mary haJ the care of, and after a year'a ac quaintance with her he had decided in his own mind th-it she waa a very nice girl. Mary liked Mr. Down well enough, but that was all, for he was a bachelor, and she rattier had her doubta about auch old bachelors as be waa. Hut Mr. Ooan waa rich and liberal, and so polite always that he gradually won favor in Mary'e eyee. One 8undny when she waa fixing up his room, which waa the only time she ever suw him there, he began talk ing to her. "Do you know, Mary," he said, with evident sincerity, "that you are the prettiest girl in the hotel?" "Yes, sir," replied Mary. Mr. Down was somewhat staggered by thia unexpected frankness. "Oh, you do, do you?" he responded, little nettled. "I ought to," she aald; "every man I have seen in this hotel haa told me so, except you, and now you have, so they can't all be telling stories." Thia explanation did not quite suit Mr. Doan, but Mary was quick-witted, and he let It go as she put It. "I presume," he aald, apologetically. "I oaght to have told you so before, because I have known It ever since the first day I saw you, but you seemed to me to be a ludy, and I did not want you to think that I was not a gentleman." "And I am a lady, Mr. Doan, aa my mother waa and still Is, but I am a Indy In distress, as the story-tellers have It, Two years ngo my father died, leaving us nothing hut a lltth house away out in the suburbs, where my mother and brother live. He never was rloh. but he was a gentleman, and when ha left us poor, somebody had to do something, and I took this plnce. It was the only thing I could do for wages right from the sturt, mid we needed something to live on My brother found a plnce In a store, and between us we manage to live." "You're as good a girl aa you ars pretty, Mary," said Mr. Doan, "and I must go out and see that mother of youre." So he did, too, and came back with very agreeable impressions of the sweet old lady of 00 that he bod mot. "Mary," ha sold on the following Sunday, "how would you like me to be your father 7" "You are quite old enough to be," she aaid, sharply, "but you are not old enough to be my mother's hus band, if that is what you are leading up to." "I don't know about that," be laughed. "A woman's heart la always young," Hut Mary did; not like the subject, and went out without continuing the conversation. Half an hour later as she was carrying a roll of quilts aoroes the hall in front of the elevator, into which Mr. Doan had Just steppsdv that always uncertain method of locomo tion got loose and started down the shaft for the bottom, seven floors be- low. Mary knew what was ooniing, or going, rather, anil with a scream she dashed the roll ot quills Into the open door. The cage had only a slight start audi the quilts were caught and wedged in between the floor and the elevator roof and the downward move ment stopped with a noise like a wheel taking a rubber brake. Mary uroppsd in a faint. Mr. Doan almost had a spaam in the elevator where he was boxed up, the elevator boy earns run nlng from a rousn where he had gone to deliver a message, somebody turnsd in a fire alarm and the whole place waa In an uproar. The firemen wars restrained from turning the hoes on Mr. Doan, and busied themselvss rigging timbers In the elevator shaft below the cage to catch it, when the qulite were withdrawn, and preaantly Mr. Doan came down with a thump, and walked out scared almost white. The papers next morning had a whole column about it, with a large picture of Mary, the big heaiHinea about the brroiam of a ehamliermaid. It happened on Kriday, and on Sunday Mary was at her post again. When Mr. Doan saw her he did not wait to ask her about the flowera lie had sent to her bouse, nor about his having called to see her without seeing her. "Msry," he said, In the mutter of fact wny of a man of SO, "you saved my life, ami I want to do something to show in y appreciation of It." "Oh, Mr. Hi. nn," she almost pleaded, "don't say anything more about it. I rXdn't do anything." "You saved my life. Isn't that any thing? It Is to me if It Isn't lo you!" "I would have done just the same for Torn." Tom waa the elevator boy. "Well, I'm going to offer you some thing a kid like Tom couldn't ofTer you, and flint is the heart and the hand of an elderly man." "You nu an you want to marry me for saving your life?" aaksd Mary completely dazed. "Not exactly, Mary. I I 1," hes itated Mr. Doan. "It's just the same thing, and I can't permit it," said Mary resolutely. "You are rich and I am poor, and it would tie Just as If I saved you for what you might give, and I didn't do that." Mr. Doan tried hla beat to argue her Into ronsrnt. but the harder he talked pr-ti ln-ii: and Apples Wanted! Joins Zitca & Co., 210 Ogden llldg., Chicago.

He went to see her mother that afternoon, and the mother promised to do what she could, for she liked Mr. Doan. Still Mary would not listen to reason. She said if she had money It might be dif ferent, for then people could not say she eaved the man for hla money. . It was really a silly and fooiisn position stie had taken, but young women do illy and fooliah thinga more timea than a few. Mr. Donn thought there might be a younger man, but said nothing. One morning a week later Mary re ceived a note asking her to call at Mr. Down's olt'u-e. Greatly puzaled, she went, and Mr. Doan and another man were waning for her. The other man whs Mr. IXmn's lawyer. "Mary," aald Mr. Doan, after the usuui salutations and an Introduc tion. "tm you give me a dollar?" Mary took out her thin little purse and found three quarters, three nick els and a dime, which she h united over to Mr. Doun without a question. "I'd like to borrow a nirkel f It for ear fare," ahe laughed nervously. "You won't need it, Miss Howard," aald the lawyer politely. "Here are some papers, Mary," said Mr. Down, handing her a large packet. "You won't undera.and them if you look at them, so I will merely tell you that they are deeds to all the real property I own and include the cer tificates of all the stocks In my pos session. Indeed, everything Is there If you will look them over. They are yours,- Mary, In a dared fashion, opened the packet, and the only thing ahe could read wast "Know All Men lly These Presents, that for and in considera tion of one dollar In hand to me paid,' to., etc., and ahe didn't do a thing hut drop the paper, and begin to cry. The lawyer discreetly got out of the of flee, and Mr. Donn stepped over to the svindow. The room waa atlll ex cept for Mary's faint snillls, and the twittering of a couple of sparrows on the telegraph wire in front of the window. 'Die stlllnei s seemed to soothe the perturled spirit, and presently she lifted her fnce from htr wet hand kerchief and glanced shyly up at Mr. Doan. He did not sec her. Phe got up and went over to him, sobbing a little yet. "Mr. Doan," she said, putting out her hand, only one hand, to him, "ia It true that you have given me every thing?" "Everything In the world I own Mary, and I am poor as a ehurch niotiss. "nut Mr. Doan" she protested. "Not a word," he broke In. "If It hadn't been for you I would have lost It all by leaving It to a lot of people I don't like, and if you nave it I know it will be where It will do much good Don't you worry, my diar. 1 am not so old that I can't hustle around and make a pretty good living yst. I can do 'It a good deal better than you can." Mary looked at him and again the tears filled her eyee. "Mr. Doan," she said, "If I were to tell you that there was a younger man I loved; one whom I had known since I waa a little girl and who had been waiting until he could earn enough to make us comfortable, would you st.il let mi have thia money? Aren t you giving It to me because you do not know this and hope to win me with it?" Mr. Doan choked a little. He had not heard of this young man. Per haps If he had he would have been less generous. He might have given him a poaitlnn In his nflice or helped him along in some other way. It waa harlly neeeasary to tmpovsriah him self for the sake of letting the woman he wanted for hia wife marry another man. Hut Mr. Doan had the right kind of a tuff in hla make up. "I don't know what you want to do with it, Mary, and I don't ears," he said bravely. "What I want It to do Is to make you the happlrst woman in the world, and that will make me feel It ia where It will do the moat good. All I ask is r-hat when 1 am too old to work any longer you will board and lodge me at a reduced rate and give me a fnlr funeral." Mr. Doan laughed at hie Joke, but Mary did not. She put ont both her hands to him. "There la no younger man, Mr. Doan," she said, "and If you will have me for your wife, you may" Mr. Doan acted ridiculously for a man of his years He .houud and niaikp a wild grab for Mary. "You bet I" he began, when she broke away from him and warned him off." "On ons condition," she said. "Name a ikixen," na replied with craay liberality. "One ia enough, and that one la that you give me back raj) dollar." He hanrsrd her over the money and ahouted fo - the lawyer to some In. "Think of it," he said to that gen. tleman, "ahe will marry nse on the simple condition that I givs her bsck the dollar she gave me." "Which means," said the lawyer formally, "that aa there la no consid eration all the property and so forth previously made over to Mlaa Howard I yours."
