However, Mrs. Croaker returns unexpectedly and the lovers are placed in hiding, one in the large Boiler, one in a cup board. - Mrs. Croaker proceeds to have Penelope do the washing, light iog the fire end or the boiler in which Pitcher is concealed, and turning on the water. This is too much for Pitcher who in Mrs. Croaker's ab sence slips out of the boiler and nndrr the table. Penelope, " coming in, be lieves Pitcher has been boiled to rags and proposes to elope with Tossnr, when Pitohr, upsetting the table, the tablecloth wrapped around him, says "I torbid the bans," They think it is his ghost and an amusing scene fol lows, terminated by the appearance of Mrs. Croaker. The ghost and Tosser, while attempting to escape are ar rested by Chalks, the milkman and a stormy scene ensue, which is how ever brought to a happy ending by Penelope accepting Chalk's offer of marriage, and, in a very melodious quintette all wish them happiness and say goodbye.

The city attorney of Albany has given an opinion to the city council holding that the Albany saloon bonds of $1000 each could be enforced and the entire amount collected from the bondsmen upon a violation of any city or state law ' regulating saloons in Albany. A few weeks ago Council man Bryiut raised the question. The connoil accepts the opinion given and Mr. Bryant gave notice that he would move for an aotion against the bondsmon on the first violation of the law by saloonmen. Heretofore the saloon bonds have been treated as merely guarantees that the saloonmen would pay all fines and damages as sessed, in caso of violation of the law. A way has- been found around the long trip from Washington by Senator Gearin, in order to register for the coming eltction. The law provides that only duly qualified voters may run for office aud one of the qualifica tions is registration. As Senator Gearin desired to enter the race for U. S. senator to succeed himself, it seemed as if he would be compelled to come back to Oregon in order to reg ister, at a time when his presence was necessary in Washington, but a way has been found 'to satisfy the de mands of the state law and senatorial duty at the same time. Senator Gearin's private secretary has been appoiuted a deputy conuty clerk for Multnomah county aud blanks have been sent him for the purpose of registering the senator.
