ATHENA, FEBRUARY 7, 1896 The Oregon delegation in con gress have been quite industrious since the convening of congress in trodming bills appropriating vast Bums of money for public buildings at different points throughout the i.t aiHfni mncmnncu nermann DbUbO III iwt Kwu has introduced several bills for im provements to the lower Columbia mid Willamette rivers and numer ous harbors along the coast, but none of them as yet have raised thoir voices in behalf of an appro priation for removing obstructions to navigation on the uppar jtOium bia. savs the Dalles Times-Moun taineer. Possibly we should nit find fault with them for their inac tivity in this matter, since such a vigorous opposition has been raised bv some of the parties most in terested in the matter to iho bn recommended by the government engineers a bout-railway but it does mm that this should not pre vent our representatives in congress from tHking action in sucli an lm porta ut matter. It is one of more importance, not to the state of Oregon nloiio, but to Washington and Idaho as well, than tho erec tion of public buildings or tho granting of pension!,. for upon it depe-da the future pn spfiity -of the entire inland Empire. It would benefit all the people, while pensions' and public buildings can k.,.,f; ,.,1.. n Ci.u 1'l,a 11 nil on Baker City and Salem can well afford to ivttit for their one hundred and two hundred thousand dollar buildings until this more important improvement is made, and we would cull the attention of Senators Mitchell and McBride and Repre sentatives Hermann and Ellis that if they wiiild serve their constitu ents well they will take this matter in hnd at onre. Civo tho Inland Empire an open river to the sea first, even if wo never get our great public .buildings. They are little neededluxuries as it were while an open river is a necessity. Thk entire people of Umatilla county mourn the loss of Sam P. SUirgi. llis was a lifts of useful ness. A man of enormous energy, he was the father of many enter prises in Pendleton and Umatilla county, llo was a m;in of un swerving, loyalty to a friend and never turned from ono in need of help who could demonstrate that he had ability to help himself and was reliable. Not only the ricli were numbered among his friends, but Iho poor alike were bound to him in the unbreakable chains of friendship.' Sam P. Sturgis had a goodly store of this world's goods, which were not accumulated by selfish avarice, but by self-denial in early life, and later by strict attention to honorable business methods. He was a man among men and the position in life he had attained; the claims bo had upon the friendship of hundreds of people, wero hewn from the rough by the man himself. His was a. useful life; fit for the emulation of all. May he rest in peace. Thkuk is undoubtedly a ghost of no diminutive proportions in the Republican camp at the present stage of the game, as tho following excerpts from two leading papers of g. o, p. doctrine and persuasion, will attest. The Ileppner (Jnzette asks: " '"Can we afford to swap horses in tho middle of the stream?" Tin Pendleton Tribune man comes back at the (Jnzette man in this way: f- "Tho answer is easy. The Re publican party is 'nut a one-horse party. It can swap horses in this district whenever it can gain by the swap. Is Mr. Ellis a states man of such commanding character that we cannot improve upon him? Nonsense. What has he ever said or done, in congress, that makes his services indispensable? Uma tilla county can supply a dozen more efficient men than Ellis , to hold down the seat in congress. The Ileppner Gazette is way off its baBe." Tuv TCiiopnn Huard savs: "The M ..... ' ' " ft only appropriation the Btate uni- versity receives is me ov,vw given by the last legislature, which is to carry on the university ioriwo years, thus making an annual sum of 115,000." How is it then that the item of $30,000 for the support of the state university was put in a 1 I . J. - the amount to be raised rjy me tux levy of 189G? Has the entire amount to be raised this yearr The Guard will please explain. A high protection paper says that "in order to restore confidence it is necessary first to restore the revenue." But the revenue cannot be restored by restoring the very taxes that wero abolished to reduce the revenue. Thk Republican organs shouted 1 wait 'till we'uns are in. and then prosperity will come." ''We'uns" have been in for some time, but the people still wail. TRICK WITH A BANK BILL. A Man Who Planned a Good Joke on His Boston Friends. A man walked into a hotel near the Grand Central station early the other morninn, having just left a train. Ho ordered and ate a hearty breakfast and then, instead of giving his waiter the money to pay the check and waiting for the change, as most men do, he "tipped" the waiter and carried the bill to the cashier. In his hand, says the New York Tribune, along with the bill for his breakfast, he held a ten dollar note. ' "I wish," he said to the cashier, "that you would pin a slip of paper to this bank bill, so that you can identify it, and then put it away, please, until I call for it. I'll be back to-morrow." The cashier looked rather aston ished. "Yes," said the other. "I only want to leave it here as security for my breakf aRt. I'll come back to get it" "But it's a good bill," said the cash ier. "I'll accept it and give you tho change." "No," replied the stranger. "I don't want you to do that. I want merely to leave this bank bill in pawn, i want to pledge it. Give me the price of my breakfast on it, and to-morrow I'll re deem it." "Oh, I see," said the cashier, with a smile, "you want to keep this bill be cause it has some peculiar value through association. It's a sort of a souvenir, eh?" "Well, not exactly," was the answer. "You see, I have been over in Boston. I went nearly broke there. When I was coming away some of my friends insisted on lending me some money. I told them that I should not need it, but they declared I could not pull through. One of them forced ten dol lars on me." "TU tell you what I'll do,' I said. 'You take down the number-and date of this bill. I'm toming to Boston again next week. Now to prove to you that I don't need this ten dollars, I'll bet you that I bring the same bill back with ine, I'll bet a dinner for us all.' "They took the bet, and that is why I want to put this bill in pawn. Pretty good joke on them, eh?" he said, with a wink. "I spend it, aud yet I keep it Take good care of it for me," and he went out, looking like a conqueror. About five minutes later the cashier took out the bill, pinned the slip of pa per to another one of about the same color and appearance, and slipped them back into his cash-drawer. "I wonder who'll have the joke on him, now?" he said to himself, and then ho whistled softly. A FOREIGN INDUSTRY. W Via Millions of'iTpnt Steel Rings, But Don't Blake Any. "I've handled and sold forty thou sand gross of split key rings since 1867," said the little man in nn over coat and a white sweater, "and not ne of them was of American make." "Why, how is that?" asked a New York Sun reporter. "Because there are none made in this country," replied the little man, with a smile that lifted one corner of his gray mustache. "No, Mr," he con tinued, "the making of split steel rings is an art that we haven't got hold of yet, somehow, and I must say I often wonder at it" "Where are they made, then?" "The best, sir, are made about fifty seven miles outside of Paris, at a little manufacturing town whoso name I can't just now recall. The next best rings are made iu Sheffield. England, while rings of inferior quality, made from Swedish iron, are manufactured in Alsuco. I don't know that the steel iu the French rings is any better than that used by the Sheftleld manufac turers, but the Frenchmen in this, as in so many things, have got the hang of making thfir thiugs look well.

KhefSeld rings are polished with oil and emery, and that gives them a dull steely look, while the French rings are polished by the dry process, with what they call 'crocus powder,' a sort of coarse rouge." "What are the extremes in size of split rings?" the man was asked. "The smallest that I ever handled," he replied, "were three-sixteenths of an Inch arnwt- Th.v are ffilded when they reach this country and are used in 1 cheap Jewelry. The largest key rings I ever sold were two and a half inches in diameter, and those I sold to the wardens at Sing Sing. In fact, they are called pri-on rings. That key ring with the two little knobs or bosses through which you slip the key, is also a French manufacture, and indeed I have never seen an American key ring except that clumsy little thing where yon have to move around a small round double plate with a notch in it, , and then spring out the open end of the ring through this notch. I must say," con cluded the little man, musingly, "I often wonder why we don't make ring over here. Even now there's a forty-five per cent duty on them, and they could be sold at half their present price and Still bring a good profit Why, just think. I sell over one hun dred and fifty thousand rings a year, and there must be millions of them handled every year in this country," STtPS ON KAlLWAY CARS. An Authority Thinks They Are Useless and Blionld Ha Abolished. When the first primitive railway was built in this country, says the Railway Age, somebody thought it would bo cheaper and handier to attach steps so that passengers could get on or off whenever the train might accommodat ingly stop, without the trouble of drawing up to a platform, and the fash ion once started has been followed un til now there are in the United States not far from thirty-five thousand cars, passenger, baggage, mail and express, which are dragging around four times as many one hundred and forty thousand sets of steps that are costly to build and maintain, are a constant source of danger, discomfort and delay, ! and serve no purpose that could not ! much better be accomplished by hav- j ing station platforms at a level with ! the platforms of the cars. The elevated railways in New York first demon- ; strated the necdlessness of steps for ' cars on the American plan of having 1 end doors, as had from the first been ' demonstrated on all European railways where the doors open at the side. The Illinois Central Eailway company had the enterprise to extend the principle of no steps to surface roads by build ing special cars and high station platforms for its world's fair train service, with the result of han dling great numbers of passengers with extraordinary celerity and safety, and the same progressive management is now preparing to abolish the use of car steps in its extensive suburban train service by elevating its station plat forms. It has had the principle in highly successful operation for nearly a year on its express suburban service, in which are used ordinary day coaches, the steps having been removed and tho platforms widened out, and if it were building new cars for that service it would build them without steps. For remote stations on its local service where it is not yet ready to provide new station platforms it adopts the simple device of having trap doors over the steps, which can be thrown back where the steps are to bo used an ex pedient that would facilitate the grad- ual adoption of the high station plat form principle on all roads, allowing them to apply it at first only at the principal stations. THLFIRST CIGARS. The Havana Variety Was Smoked In Paris as Vang Ao as 1813. When were cigars first smoked? Ac cording to a French authority who has been making investigations in this sub ject, the weed in this shape was not In troduced into Franco till the return of the French army from Spain in 1838. This fa-jt is on the authority of Hlppo lyto Huger, tho dramatic author, who writes thus in his memoirs: - 'Our return from Paris was by way of Orleans. On tho route we met quite frequently officers returning from Spain. They hod generally cigars in their mouths-a new habit, since be come general. From this" point of view tho campaign of 1823 had the good financial result of establishing a new branch of import trade." Another document, however, carries back the uso of tho cigar to a slightly earlier period. The "Hermit of the Chassoo d'Antin" (1813), going to see his nephew, a -young officer at Paris, finds him at his hotel in morn! r cos tume and smoking a Havana cigar. Tho taste for cigars seems at this time to have been sufficiently extended to make them a common article in tho stock of every grocer who was careful to cater to the wants of his customers. Not n J'loasaut I'eople. T An almost unknown race or one rarely visited by Europeans Is de sitUkhI by Mr. C. 8. Robertson. These people live in thosnb-Uimalayan region und are called Kafirtetnns. In many tvspecta they are not a pleasant people Their worst inental peculiarities ore cu pidity, jealousy, and intertribal hatred. On the other hand they have r strong family affection and are capable of acts of heroism when at war. For killing one of their follow tribesmen banish ment is tho penalty. They have their cities of refuge. They have medieiue men. Mr. Robertson intimates that there is a secret valley in Kaiiristan where an unknown tongue is spoken the sound of which .1 like "a soft musical mewing." S. 'v A Curious Incident. A train was recently stopped in France, on the line Itetwecn ISellegardc and Geneva, under the following curi ous circumstances: A freight tra in had in ono ' of its cars some cod liver oil, which began to leak away from the containing vessel. By chance, the es caping stream struck exactly in tho middle of the rail. The train that bore the oil was not affeeted. but the track was thus well greased for the passen ger train that followed, which came to a standstill when it readied the oily rails. Nearly three-quarters of an hour vere consumed in running tho two d a half miles to tho nest station, and Jhis rate was only attained by dili gent sanding of the track. THE MIDDLE-AGED MAN. Be Buys Two Oats Worth ef Geeoaaat Cakes an4 Renews Ills Youth. "When I waa m boy," said a middle aged New Yorker the other day, ac cording to the Sun, '.'I used to be very fond of cocoanut cakes, as they were called, small disks of candied cocoanut, which cost one cent each. They were colored white and red, and $aally they got some chocolate colored, and it seems to . me they had some other colors. . If I had only one cent I bought usually a white one, though some times I took a red one; if I bad two cents I bought a red and white, to have a variety. I have seen the time when I had three cents, and bought all three colors at once. "I bad not bough) any cocoanut cakes for I don't know how many years, though I had seen them along year after year, particularly in sum mer, when the dust blows and the white ones get all covered with dirt;, but the other day I bought two of the new-fashioned kind, that seems just now to be having a run; you see them on all the push carts. The new cocoa nut cakes are all one color, a sort of molasses color; and they are not round and flat like the old ones, but thick and bunchier, like little broken-off masses of the prepared cocoanut "I found them very good. They differ somewhat from the old-fashioned cocoanut cake in taste and texture, as well as in build and color; the old cocoanut cake, while not brittle, ex actly, was what you might call crumbly and sugary; it dissolved quick ly in the mouth; while the contem poraneous cocoanut cake, after you get below the light frostwork of its exte rior, has decidedly more consistence; it is what the modern child calls chewy; but the cocoanut taste is there all right, and as I eat them they carry me back to the days of my youth." AN EARLY IRONCLAD. It Was Built to Break Throuich the Spanish Lines. The idea of protected ships, such as the modern men-of-war, is by no means an absolutely new one. This is proved, says the Western Mail, of Cardiff, by the fact that an armored vessel was constructed, though crudely, of course, as far baek as 1585 by a shipwright of Antwerp during the wars between the Spaniards and the Dutch. In the sum mer of 1585 Antwerp was invaded by the Spaniards both by land and water, and the people of Antwerp built the first protected ship on record in an at tempt to break through the line of be siegers in the river. It was a craft of unusual size, with flat bottom, its sides' armed with iron plates fastened into great beams of wood. When finished the builders thought it a floating castle, impregnable to the artillery and mis siles of those days, which should crush all opposition, as it contained a great number of men, some of whom were placed like sharpshooters in the tops of the masts, and the rest protected by the bulwarks. They were so confident that the craft would rout the enemy that they called it "Finis Belli," thinking it no doubt would put an end to the war. Unfor tunately, however, the early ironclad proved a disastrous failure, getting stuck upon a bank of the Scheldt after a very short and unhappy career. The Spaniards were greatly amused with the untimely end of the vessel, while the brave burghers of Ant we. p changed the name from "Finis Belli" to "Per dito Expensal," or "Money Thrown Away,". The crew then deserted the ship, and the Spaniards, after defeat ing the Netherlanders in a naval bat tle, carried the monster in triumph to the camp of Alexander, of Parma, where it became one of the Bights of the times. . The city of Antwerp was taken August 17, 1585, and bo the first iron clad on record came to an unfortunate end. ' CAN THEHEART BREAK? Many Instances of Death Being Due to Grief, Fear, Etc. Grief doe not kill, and"it is, indeed, very seldom that heavy sorrow causes death to anyone when in a healthy con dition, says a writer in tho Buffalo Times. It is, however, very often the indirect cause of a death, either by bringing disease to a climax or by ren dering tho sufferer more liable to its at tack. If a man is convinced that his grief is more than ho can bear those who have studied tho matter agree that through the force of his own imagination tho man will actually die of a "broken heart The great Napoleon was killed by an internal disease, but it is supposed that it would not have been fatal had not his spirits been so depressed through exile and defeat William Piatt, the orator, is said to have died of a "broken heart," caused by his great grief at tho failure of his cherished hopes and plans. And there have been many other such instances in the history of this country. When plagues are raging in a town statistics show that as many die from fright and imaginary causes as from the real epidemic, so great a hold has the fear of death on some people. If a man is condemned to be shot it has often occurred that on the word "fire" he has dropped lifeless, although, through accident or design, no bullet has in reality loft the gun. There is a queer case on record con cerning the daughter of a celebrated French novelist, who was deeply inter ested in one of her father's stories. It appeared- in installments, and the hero ine was suffering from consumption. As the girl brooded over tho sad fate of the hcroiue she, too, suddenly mani festel the same symptoms. A physician recommended the father to restore the heroine to health, which he did a few chapters on, and at the same time as the girl in the novel recovered, so also pis too .-t'-iv'-t FIRST STRIKlfON flECORD. Roman Flute Players, H. C. SOO, Sueeesarol ly Keeented Kxelusion front a Banquet. l,lvy, in his famous book, "The An nals." is., 30, relates in the following suggestive words the story of a singular strike which occurred at Rome in the year 3') I- nd was probably the firs etrik ever known: "That year occurred an event lit tle worthy f being related and which I would pass in silence had it not ap peared m Involving religion. The ilute players, dissatisfied because the latest censors had forbidden them to take ivrt in the banquet in Jupiter's tem ple, according to the ancient custom, withdrew, every one of them, to Tibnr, so that nobody wai left at Rome to play during the sacrifices. This inci dent shocked the religious sentiment of the senate, and the senators sent messengers to invite the inhabitants of Tibur to make every effort in order that the players should be restored to tho Romans. The Tiburtines, having promised not to neglect anything necessary for that purpose, caused the flute players to come to the place where the senate met and .exhorted them to go back to Rome. Seeing that they could not prevail upon them to do so they employed a stratagem in keep ing with their character. On a day of festival, under the pretext that music would increase the joy of the feast, every citizen invited the flute players individually to his house, and wine, of which people of that profession are usually fond, was, given to them In such quantities that they fell into a deep sleep.. They were thrown into wagons and transported to Rome. They only became aware of what had happened on the day after, when dawn surprised them lying on the carts, which had been left in the forum. A large crowd had assembled and they were induced to promise that they wOuld remain at Rome. The right of attending the banquets was restored to these flute players." HANDSOME, BUT TIGHT.' A Young Lieutenant's Uncomfortable Evening In Society, Society belles are not alone in their liking for personal adornment Young soldiers, and brave ones at that, are sometimes as vain of their fine clothes as any schoolgirl, says Youth's Com panion. Gen. Du Barail, writing his "Souvenirs," lingers with fond particu larity over the splendid new uniform he put on when he became a lieutenant "Five minutes after I received my pro motion," he says, "tho best tailor in Al giers was taking my measure for my officer's uniform." Then he goes into full details about the red spencer trimmed with black braid, the blue cap, the sash of red silk, from which dandled acorns of gold, and especially the sky-blue panta loons. "It would be hard to imagine a uniform more coquet," he declares. This gorgeous rig ho was to wear for the first time at a dinner given by the governor general in honor of the men newly promoted; and he could hardly wait for the time to come. When ho came to put the garments on, however, he found himself literally in a strait- For three years he had been going about in loose Arabian costume. - His new clothes were so dreadfully tight! ne got into his jacket only with the vigorous assistance of three of his com panions, who had to unit all their forces in order to button the thing to gether. - He entered the general's house witn his arms standing out "like basket handles," and all in all felt as awk ward as any mortal well could. He neither ate nor drank. "It seemed to me," he says, "that at the first mouth ful of bread or the first swallow of wa ter, everything would burst. And when, as it happened, the governor general looked in my direction, with his big round eyes, liko coffee-cups, I felt a foolish desire to hide myself un der the table. Ah! for that evening, the fashion made me suffer!" SOME POlNitu QUESTIONS. They Were Fat to American Travelers by the Viceroy of China. When Mr. Allen and Mr. Sachtleben reached Tien Tsin, after their long bicy cle ride from Constantinople across Asia, they had a protracted interview with the viceroy Li Hung Chang tho man whom Gen. Grant included among tho three greatest statesmen of Uis. day. Ho asked the young American travelers a multitude of questions about the countries they had ridden through, and at last came down to personalities. The following were a few of his inquiries: "About how much did the trip cost you?" "Do you expect to get back all or more than you spent?" "Will you write a book?" "Did you find any gold or silver de posits on your route? "Do you like the Chinese diet?" "now much did one meal cost yon?" "How old are you?" "Are you married?" "What is tho trade or profession of your parents?" ' "Do they own much land?" "Are you democrats or republicans?" "Will you run for any political office in America?" "Do you expect ever to get into con gress?" " "Do you have to buy offices in Amer ica?" The young men hesitated a little over this last question, and the viceroy was good enough to say that they would be come so well known as the result of their long journey that they might get into office without paying for it "You are both young," he added, "and may hope for anything." " i", uand years old was sung in a comic opera lately produced in Australia by a traveling Chinese c:mpnny. Tho history of this Venerable ballad is authenticated by the effirmation of tho chief comedian of the troupe, who avers that the song has been sung on the Chinese stage, with tho original words and music, since 1000 15. C. A Melbourne critic says tho accompanying melody "con sisted partly of a Chinese chopping wood, partly of another Celestial blow ing a bull's horn with horrible intens ity of effort, and partly of a curious stringed instrument, which makes a noise like ' '-""t crt-ing la the v .. . ran la lied Enough.
