THE POPS HAVE FUN
U'Ren and Stevens Indulge
in a Mix-up.
BARTON'S WORD NO GO,
So Stevens Was Bounced By
the Sergeat-at'Arms.
There was lota of fun at tbe meet
ing of the state populist ' central
committee, held id Portland the other
day.
The action of the executive ommitteo
in calling the state convention to meet
on March 23 was endorsed. Tbe ques
tion of fusion with tbe union-reform
forces was discussed for hours, and at
last the resolution, instructing the sever
al county conventions to instruct ibeir
delegates for or against fusion, was
adopted, with hardly a dissenting vJc.
The meeting of tbe stats committee was
called, to order by Chairman Young, tie
announced that tbe meeting was one of
populists, and others were not supposed
to be present, and here the fun began.
In order to make aure that none but
popalieta would be present, the chair ap
pointed Charles Fitcb, of Oregon City,
sergeant-at arms and Fitcb took Lis situ
ation at the door, while W. 8. U'Ren
also took a position on tbe other side to
see to those who would seek to return.
Toere seemed to be no objection to any
of those, who bad lined up, to pass
mubter.
Dr. Barton, until recently state com
mitteeman for Yamhill county, who has
allied himself to the Cooper movement
passed without challenge. Tbe last man
in the line was J. D. Stevens, of Can by,
Clackamas county. As ha was about
to enter, Fitch asked : "Who are you?"
Stevens did not have time to explain
before U'Ren remarked: "He is no
populist "
"Yes, I am," was tbe quick retort
irom Btevens, "Dr. Rann will vouch

hustled out cf the ball.
The incident created great excitement
lor a time, and was tbe tbeme of conver
satton among tbe members of tbe com
mittee lor the rest of tbe day.

, It was also shown that." while the non
oliets were well disposed toward the rank
and file of the democratic party, there
was an irreconcilable ainurence between
the populists and tbe democratic ma
chine as represented by Pennoyer, Na
poleon Davis and F. A. E Btarr. With
that machine the populisls will have
nothing to do whatever.
For Uncle Sam Alone.
Charles F, Diwes. the comptroller
of
the currency, has issued the following
circular to all national bank examiners:
"It has come to my attention that it
nas been tbe custom of some' bank ex
aminers to accept employment, and com
pensation therefor, in making extra ex
examinations snd teports of the condit
ion of national banks assigned tbem for
regular examination which examination
and reports are for the use of tbe bank
and not for this office.
For an examiner to accept employ
ment in examinations of the same bank
from both the government and the bank
has a tendency to interfere with that rig
id impartiality which should character
ize bis work as a government officials
"Notice ia hereby given that hereafter
examiners will not be allowed to accept
employment from national banks in
making extra examinations for private
use of such banks."
Snake River Steamer.
A steamer to be need on the nnrwr
Snake river was on Friday shipped in

iagton.' This is sn incident in a h!
scheme of mining development la East

of mines and the building and operation
of smelters, railroads and a eteamer

to the new copper smelter and to carrv
copper matte to Huntington for shipment
to market by rail. The new smelter.
which ia located near Mineral, will be in
operation in two or three weeks. .

A'temptrd Suicide.
A farmer named John McLaughlin,
living on Dry Creek, six miles west of
Walla Walla, made an ineffectual at
tempt to commit suicide by cutting his
throat with a rasor. He cut aix gashes
in tbe neck, one on the left side, cutting
the neck almost in two and striking tbe
spinal column. He left tbe house and
his wife was unabls to locate him.
About midnight he came In with blood
adeeming from bis wound. Physiciana
were compelled to put him in a straight
jacket in order to sew up his wounds.
McLaughlin has been insane at limes
for several rears. Last summer.
while very violent, he attempted to kill
his wife and himself, but waa prevented
by neighbors. At last accounts, be is
still alive and the physicians are con
fident he will recover. MoLaughlin is
aged about 45 ) eirs and has been en
gaged in farming in the Walla Walla
valley for several years. .

Ministers to the Sick.
, In a hospital in Philadelphia, learning
to be a nurse, is a great granddaughter
of John Adams, second president of tbe
United States and one of tbe founders
of the government. Her name is Emma
O'Neil, and despite the fact that she is
scarcely more than 20 years old, she
possesses in not a small degree some of
the characteristics of the distinguished
family of which she is a proud descend
ant. She is beautiful and much courted
by Philadelphia society men, but on her
mother's death a year ago ahe decided
to devote herself to ministering to the
sick.

Companion and as a

Great AC! or. .
good many years aao while Edwin
Booth was playing a successful ongage
ment in one of the Jeading theaters, I
dropped into his dressing-room one
bight during tbe course of the perform
apce. He chanced to be in a particular
i.v nappy irame oi mina-aod be was
often cheerful and happy, tradition to
tuecontrary notwithstanding. He was
smoxiDg tne meviraoie pipe, ana be was
arrayed in the costume of R:chelbu.
with bis feet upon the table, aubmittino
ralipntly to the manipulations of his
wardrobe man or "drearer" After a
few woids of greetine, the cailliov
snoeaea at tne aoor ana said tbat Mr
Booth was wanted at the curtain "left

jumped up quickly, ana asked it l would
stay. where I was snd keep his pipe
angnt. or go aiong witn mm and see htm
lunch tbe cuss of Hum," Quoting the
words of George L Fox, who had been
producing lately a ludicrously clever
burlesque of Booth iu the same part. I
followed him to the wings, and stood by
nia siae wane ne waited lor pis cue.
It waa the fourth act of tbe drama. I
remember, and the stage was set as a
garden, nothing of which waa visible
from our position but the flies and the
back of Uie wing, and we might have
been placed in a great bare barn, so far
as . any scenic effect was apparent
aq rain, joaraaas ana me conspirators
a n a aa i
were speaking, and at an opposite en
trance, waiting for her cue, was tbe Julie
of tbe evening. 8be was a good woman
and an excellent actress, but nnfortun
ately, not a personal favorite with the
star, who called my attention to the bis
muth with which she was covered, and
said if aba got any of it on his new scar
let cloak he would pinch ber black and
blue, puffing volumes of smoke into my
lace as ne spoae.
when the proper time came he rushed
npoa tbe stage, with a parting Injunction
not to let his pipe go out; and with the
greet meercrjaum tn my own mouth I
saw the heroine of the play cast herself
into nis arms, ana noticed to my great
amusement, that sbe did smear the
robes" of My Lord Cardinal with tbe
greasy white stuff he so much disliked.
winked back at tbe ball comic, half-
angry glauce he shot toward me over
one's snowy shoulders. I ball expect
ed to hear the real scream he bad threat
ened to cue her to nttr.r 1 thought of
nothing but the humorous, absurd side
of tbe situation ; I was eager to keep tbe
pipe going.
And lo I he raised his hand and spoke
those familiar lines : "Around bsr form
draw the awful circle of oar solemn
Church. Piece but a foot within that
hallowed ground, and on thy head, yea,
though it wear a crown, I'll launch tbe
curse of Rome I" Every head upon the
stage was uncovered, and I found mr
own hat in my hand ; I forgot all tbe
tomfoolery we had been indulging in; I
forgot his pipe and mv promise regard,
ing it ; I forgot tbat I had been a habit
ual theater-goer all my life; I forgot that
was a f rotestant beretie. and tbat it
waa nothing but stage play : I forgot
everything, except the fact that I was
tending in the presence of the great.
visible head of the Catholic religion in
France, and that I waa ready to drop
pen my knees with tbe rest of tbem at
is invocation.
