Count Leo Tolstoi, tho famous Rua
iaa novelist and social reformer, lias
been formally excommunicated from
the Greek-church on account of bit
writings which were deemed heretical
and dangerous to orthodoxy.
At the present time there is a con
siderable influx of immigrants and
borneseekeri to Portland from Eastern
points. About 50 arrived on Saturday
and hundreds more aie expected to
follow, (irants Fibs should take some
measures lo present to these people
the advantages of this section. The
absence of suitable literature for dis
tribution la a serious handicap when
we wish to impress outsiders with the
excellence of our resource! and ad
vantages and it is a deficiency which
should be rcmodied.
Chicago and the neighboring country
was visited on March 10 by on of the
most severe wind storms of Die season.
Thousands of telegraph, telephone and
electric light poles were blown down and
property was damaged in the city lo the
extent of $175,000. In reading accounts
of such occurrences in other places, our
Own climatic advantages are brought
more forcible lo our minds. We are
very prone to forget our many blessings
in that regurd and to exclaim volubly
in denunciation of the weataer when
ever it is damp underfoot and overhead
or when we shiver in the March b'ottv,
A few experiences of the sort lo which
oilier people are subjected might make
ns think twice before we grumble at
trifles.
Great Britain's reply to the amended
ilay-l'auncefoU) canal treaty has been
received in Washington and, while its
contents are not yet made public, it Is
understood that it is a dignified but
complete rejection and leaves the United
States the responsibility for any further
action In the matter. This respon
sibility should be cheerfully accepted by
the United Btates and the canal con
structed without asking any Kuropean
nation's consent. )y somoones blunder
we were placed in such position that
we were under moral obligation to
onsult with (ireat Britain regarding
the matter. Wa have consulted, but
we are under no material obligation to
subject ourselves to her ideas. No great
calamity is likely to follow aven if we
were to go a little contrary to her
wishes.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
Ily local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by 'constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the Kustachian Tube. When
this tube is Inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless Ilia inflamma'.ion
can be taken out and the lube restored
tolls normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nuthing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Dealness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure, Hand for circulars, free.

One nlffht, eaya the author of a
curiously interesting rticle in frank
rslie'a Popular Moi (hly. things came
to a climux. Marshal Mclnness
at Sitka; hia substitute, liowan, was
sitting- in an all-night lunch room,
when a man with blood running down
hib face stntfgered in the place, lie
shouted for tome one to give him a
"gun," and K.jwan, viho wa a square
man, explaining that he was acting
marahal, asked hiiu what his trouble
was. The wounded man Excitedly
told hia story. He had been rubbed
of hia money, and had been beaten
on the head when he had protested
to the bartender of the Theater
Kovul, where the robbery had oc
curred. Finally be had left, prom
ising, however, to get a gun and
square accounts. "Come with me, and
I will investigate thia matter," said
Itowan, and he helped the man along,
for he wax quite feeble from the lose
of blood. When they got to the the
ater the wounded man, opened the
door, nt the same time making a
Krmhta-nce of drawing a pisUrl from
his "gun-pocket." Fay, the bartender,
had been expecting him. Quick aa a
flash he pulled his gun and Cred,
dropping the poor fellow dead in his
tracks. Kowan, his re-olver in his
fist, pushed hia way into the room,
only to be shot down by the desper
ate IfHi-trnder, who afterwards disai
peuird. A ..an who was employed by
the citizen to net aa fireman hap
pened to be passing at the time. He
was Intoxirtt-ted, and In his excite
ment emptied his revolver at random.
One of the bullets struck the propri
etor of the Nugget saloon, who was
eating at a lunch counter on the side
walk, and crippled him. Marshal
Kowun atnggered to hia feet, man
aged to crawl to Pr. Moore'a otflce

dead. Oddly enough, the doctor had

A RUSH FOR AUTOS.

The year in automobiles hss been a
good one, but even with its increase of
about ino per cent, in the manufacture,
the business was not entirely gratify
ing to manufacturers.. At the outset
the makers looked for tremendous
sales, but with the unsettled condi
tion in business, generally due to de
clining values, many purchasers held
back. Prices of autos, however, were
well held throughout the year, and Tn
some instances advanced. The auto
mobile is not a novelty, allowing a
wide margin of profit to the maker,
aa 4t is essential that all parts of the
machinery included in its construction
be of equal merit, which prevents in
ferior productions and keeps prices
up.
The demand for pleasure vehicles
represented only about 21 per cent, of
the total increase In Die output dur
ing Uis yiar, which indicates their
growing popularity. The striking
growth was in the output of delivery
nnd truck autns. One of the features
that developed during the year was the
formation of several bus and truck
companies for the purposj of hand
ling country passengers and farm
prohiel. lo and from towns. It has
developed that this business iz a suc
cess, and will eventually expand to
vast proportions. The export' demand,
has also grown mnt riaKy, und the
American make of every desrription is
going to all parts of the world, rvin
to France, where they originated.
RILEY AND THE VIOLIN.

It has been noticed thnt at nil the
entertainments given by James Whit
comb liilcy there is always a violin
d i the programme. There is
never an exception to the role. His
manager says the custom is followed
on i of deference to Uilcy, although
it ia not known that he ever re
quested such n favor. There is n
story back of that. It appears that
Itiley's ninldtioii early in life wan to
be a violinist, lie ia quoted as say
ing that an accident spoiled a mighty
line fiddler lo make a second-rate
poet, but then people may not agree
with him on that, score. When he
was a young man he exercised a fiddle
a good deal. It is said that when he
began uirct icing out on tho front
porch the neighbors went in nnd
closed the doors and windows, no
matter how hot It might be. hut that
may be a slander. At any rate, liilcy
wanted to be a violinist, aud was
getting greatly wrapped up In his
studies when he met with an accident
that caused the los of his left
thumb. This made it Impossible for
him to pursue his violin ju-ni tiec, nnd
the songs thnt were strucgling for
lit i. ranee through the medium of the
violin found escape through verse,
und the world is better off on account
of his niviiii.nl. Kiley's malingers

Don't Endanger Your Life
By riding a tin frame Bicycle. Ride a
Kacyclc, Stearns, Crescent, Crawford, B. & II.
Special, or Spaulding
And you will be in the lead from start to finish. These wheels
weigh flora 22 to 26 pounds, aud are constructed of the best material
obtainable. We sold over too Crescents last year and but one frame
proved defective. The Racycle is warranted for one year. The
Stearns will be made by the Crescent people, and will be the same
fine piece of mechanism as usual. The Crawford aud B & H Spec
ial will be greatly improved and are perfect beauties. The Spaul
ding is a new one in this place but is one of the leading wheels in
the East, and Is fully warranted.
I sell for cash or on installments, and take old wheels in part
payment, I equip any of the above wheels with any make of
Tires, Handle Bars, Saddles or pedals, with or without Coaster
Brakes or Cushion Frames.
