Hoshi is about 83 years of age and of the most pleasing personal, ap pearance. She is short, probably 4 feet 10 Inches in height Her dark hair is very abundant, her large brown eyes are soft, "yet bright, and her com plexion is clear and, rosy. In dress, .her costume is that of the American woman, yet as she has only recently laid aside her native gowns, her ward robe of western robes Is limited.

The .little Wallace children, the grandchildren of Chief Justice Fuller, the little daughter of General and Mrs. Draper and the children of Private Sec .retary and Mrs. Thnrber are among the pupils of. the kindergarten' that is situ- ated in the nursery at the White House. The ohildren are, put behind the bars of the little cribs when there is laziness or disobedience, and a final humiliation for extreme cases is a stool and dunce cap in the corner. The little outsiders who are so favored get all these advantages: for $6 or $8 -a month. So the whole burden of expense does not fall upon the family in the White House. ... A Slight Difference.

First Bank of Joseph, in Wallows County, Oregon, Balded and Two Thousand Dollars in Coin Taken. La Grande, Or., Oot. 6. At- 3:80 this aiternoon the First Bank of Joseph, in Wallowa county, was robbed of about $2,000 by three men, one of whom is dead, another is badly wounded, and the third is being pur sued by a posse of oitizens. At the time of the hold-up, there were four oustomers in the bank. Cashier Miller is in La Grande attend ing the fair, and D. J. MoCully was acting in his plaoe. In waiting on his oustomers, MoCully had oocasion to ge into the vault When he oame back and looked up, he was confronted with a shotgun in the hands of one of tht robbers, and was told to throw up bit hands. The customers had already oomplied with this request, and Mo Cully did likewise. One of the robbers leaped over thi railing and opened the private door, through whioh the men in the bans were made to pass, and then they wen lined up against the wall. One robbei took a position at the outside dooi and oompelled all passers-by to hall and throw up their hands. In the meantime the third ' robber had gone 1 J 1 1 li TT i . . . a . . ' iuw mo vault, ne iook ail oi toe our' renoy and coin, even to niokels, and plaoed them in a saok that he oarried. Coming out, he put everything into the saok that he could find on the oounter. He then demanded from MoCully the keys to the private boxes, and ran sacked them. By this time the report that the bank was being robbed had reaohed the oiti zens, several of whom armed them selves and awaited the appearance of the robbers. As the robbers made their exit from the bank, Alex Donnelly, a man SB years old, opened fire, killing one of the robbers instantly, and wounding another, hitting the latter twice. The third robber, who had the saok contain ing the ooin, suooeeded in reaching and mounting his horse, after dropping his gun. He then made off over the hills toward Prairie creek, afterward turn ing toward Cornuoopia. - - - ine roucer who was killed was named Brown, and the one who es caped is Cy Fitzhugh. The latter had been working for Mrs. Proebstel, on Prairie oreek. The name of the wounded robber is unknown, although he is reoognized as having been around Joseph for some time. The esoaped robber is described as being a low, heavy-set man.with sandy hair and mustache, of medium weight, 6 feet 8 inches in height, weighs about 150 pounds, and it about 28 years old. He wore a blaok coat and small slouoh hat, and was riding a small horse. A reward of $500 has been offered for his oapture and the return of the money. The robbery will in no way interfers with ho bank, as nearly all of its busi ness was transacted by exohange. IRELAND NOT A COUNTRY. TESLA'8 LATEST INVENTION. His New Electrical Oiellator at Last Perfected. New York, Oct 5. Nioola Tesla' has explained the principles of the eleo-, trical oscillator for whioh he has just obtained a patert. He has been work ing on the idea for ten years. "The objeot of my oscillator," said Mr. Tesla, "is to provide a simple, compact and effective apparatus for produoing greater effeots with existing cirouits carrying direct currents. Prao tioal eleotricity is too expensive. It must be cheapened so the multitude may have advantage of it. , That is all I am aiming at. "My new invention is simply this In any given circuit I interpose a de vice in the nature of a ohoking coil in order to give the oirouit a high self-in-duotion. I also provide a oirouit con troller that may be operated to make and break the oirouit. Around the point of interruption I plaoe a conden ser to store the energy of the disoharge ourrent, and in series with such con denser I plaoe a transformer which be comes the souroe of currents of high f requenoy. "Inasmuch as the self-induction of the oirouit through whioh the conden ser discharges, as well as the oapaoity of the condenser itself, may be given practically any desired value, the fre quency of the disoharge ourrent may be adjusted at will." OREGON'S METROPOLIS. TALE OF HORRIBLE CRUELTY. Almost Idiotic Poor-Farm Inmate Burled Alive. ; Norwioh, N. Y., Oot 5. Floyd Ab bott, deputy superintendent of the poor of Chenago oounty, has been arrested on a warrant ' issued by Justice Mo Mahon, of Preston, in which town the oounty farm is situated. The com plaint was made by Thomas Weaver, one of the most responsible men of the town, who lives at the oounty farm. He says in an affidavit that Abbott attempted to bury alive George Ma oomber, an inmate of the idiot ward; that he foroed Maoomber into a grave in the oounty farm oemetery and held him there while the grave was par tially filled, and until, in his struggles, his viotim finally broke away and es oaped. On another oooasion Maoomber was set .upon and beaten by Abbott with a shovel - and curelly out and bruised. He was then oompelled to strip naked and was thrown into the oreek whioh runs through the oemetery. Abbott pleaded guilty to the com plaint, and made no attempt to explain or defend his actions. His fine was paid by his employer, .Superintendent Sprague, and Abbott is Btill retained as deputy. . .s HARROWING TALES. Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pjeasanteftorts rightly directed. . There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sicknp are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti cle, which IB manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by ail reputable druggists. If in the'eniovment of (rood health. and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies' are then not needed. If afflicted i with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the' well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely ' ved and gives most general satisfaction. eat: Make money by successful (peculation In Chicago.

Judge Hopkins in the superior oourt baa quashed the somewhat famous green flag case against Contractor Patrick O'Brien. O'Brien was arrested Julv 6 for displaying an Irish flag on a portion of the staging of the ntfw ward schoolhouse on Independence day.

Town of Cedar Keys Bald to Be Nearly Wreaked. Pensaoola, Fla., Oot 5. Railroad oommunioation with the eastern and middle parts of the state has just been re-established, ard harrowing tales are being reoeived over tbe ' peninsula of Florida.:, ' It appears that the storm left the gulf and struck the ooast about Cedar Keys, whioh is said to be almost com pletely wrecked. From there it swept in a northeasterly course, its diameter being about forty miles aoross the state, doing fearful damage at the towns of Gainesville, High Springs, Newberry, Lake City, Bronsford, Callahan and many others. 1 - f" Muoh damage is reported at Jackson ville, but no loss of life,, as the center of the storm seems to have passed to the north of that city. The loss of property oifnnot now be ascertained, but it is very heavy, not only in the towns, but on farms, where the crops were de stroyed. , ; i JUDGE CRAY INDICTED. Paola, " Kan., Oot 6. George B. Anderson, alias Snyder, was billed to make a paraohute drop by being fired from a cannon attached to a balloon. Vhen 8,000 feet in the air, the assist ant on the ground . fired a signal. Either this was not heard or something was wrong with the cannon, and two more signals were fired. The cannon was then fired, but before the para chute opened, the rope that was tied to Andersons's wrist broke, and b U to the ground dead. - Charged With Carrying a Concealed Weapon. Astoria, Or., Oot. 5. Tim afternoon the grand jury returned an indiotment against County Judge Gray on a charge of oarrying a oonoealed - weapon. The oomplaining witness was John Stephen son, one of the witnesses for the de fense in the oase of - the Uniontown rioters. The' inoident that led to the complaint against Gray ooourred in the early part of August, daring tbe pre liminary , hearing of the cases against the alleged rioters, and as the result of a heated argument between the oounty judge and Stephenson. The ' latter, Judge Gray asserted; was endeavoring to intimidate Jacob Jackson, the prin cipal witness against' the alleged rioters. Hot words followed, and Judge Gray exposed a six-shooter. , Judge Gray oontends that he is a peaoe offioer, and as suoh has a right to carry a weapon; furthermore, that he had reoeived threatening letters a short time previous to his 'dispute with Stephenson.

' Portland's Industrial Exposition and Some of Her Thriving Institutions. Special Correspondence. . Portland, Or., Oot 7. Say, do you knotf that this is a pretty good kind of a town? ( The people are more sociable than one would think. Several very nicely dressed ladies, and with their faces done up in paint and powder, have invited me to oome right to their houses, and me never having been in troduced to them at all. I call that real sociable, I do. " Out at the Exposition, where I was a total stranger, one lady I never saw before introduced herself to me, and asked me to her house, saying she had several very attractive girls. Of course I had to go, and what do- you think I done? You see', I had to shave my aelf. I got a flexible razor strop, canvass one side, leather the other, from Wood ard, Clarke & Co., Fourth and Wash ington. . They mail these elegart strops to any address for thirty oentr. Saturday night was Redmen'a night at the Exposition; and, judging from the number of 'em there, it looked as if there were no pale faoes in Portland. These make-believe Injuns had wig wams, tomahawks, and pipes of peaoe galore. One thing that most pleased me was that I find they pay pretty good sick benefits, and also they make Mark Twain's saying good, that the good Injun is the. dead Injun; for as soon as you're dead your squaw gets some thousands of dollars. "All carpets fade. Some people say they won't, but we know they will." What do you think of a sign like that? I was surprised to see it in the largest oarpet and furniture house west of Chi oago, the H. C. Breeden Company. This house has four floors 100x100 orowded with all classes of furniture from plainest cottage to superb hand carved mahoganies. I was afraid to ask prioes as I looked through the won derful establishment My friend was not so oarefnul, and we found that prioes here were oheaper than anywhere in Portland. That comes from trading with factories in trainload lots. Port land is justly proud of the great H. C. Breeden establishment Mayor Pennoyer and Harvey Scott are having it hot over the fire depart ment The mayor, he has the depart ment; and Harvey,. he has the grumb ling; so it looks just like eaoh one would have his own turn the mayor wit'a the department, and Harvey with his grumbling. It ain't for me to say a word one way nor tother, but I think when Harvey's done with Syl vester, and the mayor is through with tbe editor, that they'll' kiss and make up. Both are pioneers, and that makes Oregon aristooraoy. - -t Somehow I feel as if we deserved no manufactures here. Our people seem to prefer Eastern or foreign goods. Look at Golden West Baking Pow der, an article that is surpassed by none, whioh has been used, by me for five years with entire satisfaction. It is made here by men of charaoter;' yet bow many of us use Eastern goods without a thought that money spent at home for home goods stays with us. This same house Closset & Deyers has an exhibit of a P. P. C. gas coffee roaster, patented only last April. . The machine roasts 160 pounds of ooflfee in from 9 to IS minutes, as against 45 with the old method. The long, sim mering of the coffee over an intensely hot fire destroyed all the fine aroma, and virtually killed the ooffee. By the new and short method the coffee falls through a flame, at the rate of 40 times to the minute. The flame, being in the oylinder with the ooffee, the in tense heat directly applied, draws the oil whioh ia near the surface of the coffee out and seals the berry so that, as the roasting continues, none Of the aroma escapes.""'
