Uncle Tom's Cabin In speaking of McKadden's Mammoth Uncle Tom'i Cabin Company which appear at the Opera Hoiise next Tuesday evening, an exchange says : "Uncle Tom's Cabin certainly has in it the elements of immorality and will hold the boards a long as new generation ' arise to weep over the woes of Uncle Tom and little Eva, and to scream over the od dities ef Topsy and Marks the lawyer. The McFaddcn Company comprises some very good material, while specialist are particu larly pleasing. Miss Robert's Aunt Ophe lia was one of the renditions of the charac ter ever given here. For a wonder St. Clair was an actor and net a stick. The Putnam twin sisters as the twin Topsies made a great hit. These bright pretty girls are brimfull of fun, music and cuteness, and have a great future before them. John nie Williams as Marks the lawyer brought down the house. The plantation quartette of genuine darkies was immense. The Bloodhounds and the comical trick doney, Jill, also came in for their share of ap plause. As a whole the McFadden Com pany is one of the best we have ever seen and they deserve good houses." A Good Law. Among the best bills that passed the Legislature Is Popes II. B No. 34 regulating the practice of medicine. It provides for an examining board of three competent physicians, 7 years residents of the sta'-e. They Issue certificates to appli cants, provided with diplomas, or upon examination. These certificates must be filed with Oounty Clerks. It provides for a license of $100 a month for Itinerent venders of patent medicines, drugs, etc. The punishment for a violation of this law is $50 to $500 fine in the case of physicians and not exceeding $500 in the case of ven ders of drugs, etc., with equivalent of im prisonment in cases of nonpayment. The law will do away with quacks and 10 cent patent medicine vendors, and going into effect on its passage Is now a law, If signed by the Governor. It should be enforced. How It Came. Albany newspapers have been making fun ef Salem in its at tempt to raise a $io,ooo bonus for a wool en mill, while only $3 could be raised by a collection In a crowded church during the Moody meetings. A reporter has been inquiring into this matter and finds that the time of the little $3 collection was the night the Albany people came down here to listen to Mr. Moody and crowded the church full, so there were very few Salem people present. Statesman. As there were over one thousand people present and 3500 of Albany's population remained at home it looks as if this city must be getting pret ty large. The truth is though, that there were about fifteen present from here, the whole $3 being given by them. Albany papers though have not made fun of the woolen mill effort. A Lane Co. Pioneer. Samuel Meek, an old pioneer and respected citizen of Lane county, died at his home, seven mi'.es north of Eugene City, Friday morning, Feb. 23, at 2 o'clock. He was injured in a runaway accident, near Irving, about a week previ ous. He was an Immigrant of 1853. He owned 4000 acres of land in Lar.e county and a large tract in this county. He is said to never have sold an acre of his land, though he kept buying. The Converted Gambler, Mason Long, the converted gambler, who has been talking to good houses in different parts of the state, will be at the W. C. T. U. Hall In Albany, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. One paper says, "He reaches the heart," another, "His style Is earnest, forcible and fascinating." Anoth er : "He Is surely the brightest,wlttlest and most entertaining speaker in the field." He talks against social evils generally. No admittance. A Bin Difference Richard E. Seeley, of John Hopkins' University, in the last ChatOauquan, argues that a city should give np none of its privileges to private person" without pay for them, and refers to Bilti more Street Car Companies that pay $9 into he City Treasury for eyery $100 colleoted, That does very well for lare cities ; but for ?laoos just getting a start it won't work, hey must either grant franchises or else re main in the shade ; at the same time they must look ahead. A twenty-five year fran chise is reasonable ; but do perpetual rights should eyer be listened te. The Albany Street Car Company should be granted a twenty-five year franchise at oace. Bargains in boots and shoes at Read's. CURRENCY. The Astorian says -'Watts has a head and so has a pin," and judging from some of that paper's remarks we presume it thinks there is most in the latter; but then the paper is naturally very sensitive on the mouth of the Columbia, Watts action on the pilotage Question didn't suit It, and it Is an old chestnut to get even with a man by likening his brain to something small. This reminds us of the story told by either Shem or Japhet and revised and re" peated by the ten cent patent medicine troup in this city last week. A man met ith an accident, resulting in his brains being taken out. The doctor put the fel low's skull together and kept the brains. Some time afterwards he saw the man passing his office and cried out to him to come In and get them. I he fol lowing answer was giyen: "Keep them yourself. I haven't any further use for them; I'm running an evening daily paper at Albany." That Mcl'hcrson relief bill that passed the legislature was a curious affair anyway. It seems that Mac once had a warrant on the state for several hundred dollars. He old it at a big discount. This bill was to make up the discount for Mrs. M. lust think of the character of a legislature that would pass such a bill. But it was a fair sample of many others. That Cut. The Idea prevails among some that Calipooia street is included in the cut proposed at the junction of Wash ington and Second streets. This is mis understood. The street at the junction of ralipooia and Second streets is consider ably lower now than at Washington and Second. It Is proposed to make a slight ascent when the cut is made to Calipooia street en Second, and south from the junc tion the deepest cut made on Calipooia street will only be two feet. This would benefit the adjoining property. On Wash ington street, though, It is proposed to cut to the grade of First street. The matter will be formally cousidered by the council to-morrow night. It is an important one. Too Much Moss Here. Weremember well when Washington territory was a small side show compared with Oregon when her total population was a few thous and and her largest town had but a few hundred. She Is now fast getting in front of her older sister in many things. Her towns are more active, her people are more awake and her spare acres are being more rapidly settled She has much mess on her rocks and trees, but not so much in some other places. Salem (Or.) Deaf Mute Stgn. A Pointer. A great many people take drummers as authority on the life of a place, and they are observing, Intelligent men, but Isn't It often a fact that they area little Inclined to make the place they are in the liveliest when they want to get a big order for goods. This is suggested by several little items we have seen in our ex changes in which they have reported every city in the N W as the livest. Dissatisfied Evidently. -The Rosebnrg papers are scoring Brother Samuels of the Wett Short quite lively. Here is a double one from the ' Review 1 ''The Plaindealtr scored the West Shore last week about its little game in the Salem write up, and illus trations (?) as that pretended magazine richly desered. Bro. Samuels ought to seed an other artist up to Roseburg to sketch (?) the town." At Jefferson. Saturday night about ten o'clock a would be robber entered the store of Tanzler & Son, at Jefferson, for the purpose of getting some booty, it being a boot and shoe store, but was frightened away before he had obtained anything.
