NO MCMINNVILLE, OREGON, MAY 11, 1888. * A SIGNMAKER'S LAMENT. Decay *<»f a Branch of the Painting Bus!- nei Works of Art. Any person anxious to know what has lx> come of tho majority of the emblematic signs which ton or fifteen years ago hung half a dozen in every block should visit any largo signmaker’s workshop. The once familiar wineseller’s bunch of grapes, the glover’s hand, the locksmith’s key, the carpenter’s saw, the blacksmith’s mighty arm, the butcher’s hour’s head, the hundred and one figures that formerly stood in front of tobac conists’ shops inviting customers to enter, are all on dusty shelves in the storerooms. “They are all gone out,” said a signmaker, ruefully looking over his collection. “True, the idea of painting tobacconists’ signs white and making them look weird and ghost like revived that particular sign for a time and brought back same of its old time effective ness, but emblematic signs in general belong to tho past. About all we sell nowadays are mortars, boots and clocks. Singularly enough the demand for them is not from country houses, but from the city. One would think that city people in the hunt for originality that business competition com pels would reject sooner than countrymen the oldest merchant’s sign known to man. Emblematic signs need pushing. They ought to bo still a good advertisement. Why, some of them, particularly the life figures, are works of art. There are wooden and metallic Indians and beasts in stock that pretentious sculptors would not be ashamed of. Look at that bull’s head and at that bust of Gambrinus! Look at the care and time it t^ok to carve even so simple a thing as a gun and get it true to life. Emblematic signs are carved no more. Those that are built are made of iron, either cast or spun. A use for which some of them yet command a good price is as weather vanes and as the tops of flagstaffs. There are numerous men in town who have expensive emblematic vanes on their stables. I heard of one man who took his indoors at night. It was so costly he was afraid it would tempt thieves. “But business in other kinds of signs is brisk enough,” he continued. “We make them of wood, iron, glass, mirrors, porcelain, copper, wire, silk, velvet and plush. The signs in this city, as a whole, are second iu artisticness only to those in .New York, and that city’s signs are second to noue. The tendency is all toward display, with as much gold and glitter as possible. I wouldn’t dare guess how many hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of gold leaf the signmakers of tho country use up in a year. Carved signs are the most exjjensive. It’s no uncommon thing for a merchant to plaster $1,500 to $2,000 worth of signs on the front of his store.”—Chicago Times. Scenes in Colombo, Ceylon. Hero comes striding through the press a gaunt, wild looking specter, nude to the waist, his huge bones seeming to start through his brown, leathery skin, and his fierce, black eyes glaring out beneath a for est of shaggy hair. There, with the slow step and stately bearing of a man who knows his own importance, comes a Mil form with the shaven crown, long yellow robe, and red fan of a Buddhist priest, carrying me back in a moment to the barbaric temples and island monasteries of Siam. Then, perched in the eastern fashion astride of its mother’s hi >, with her arm around it, appears a native child—the prettiest little bronze statuette imaginable—with huge silver bangles glitter ing upon the dark skin of its tiny wrists and ankles, and all its splendid white teeth dis played in a constant laugh of wondering en joyment at the surrounding stir and bustle. And now wo might appropriately sing “The Tamils are Coming,” for round the cor ner file a perfect battalion of the famous Malabar race, whoso conquest of Ceylon ages ago is one of the chief landmarks in its stormy history* Their snow white turbans and spotless turtles look delightfully cool and fresh in the blistering glare of the noonday sun; but their faces, though smooth and sleek as that of a Greek statue, have an un mistakable coarseness in the outline of their broad, blunt noses and thick lips which would contrast very unfavorably with the small, delicate, sharply cut features of a genuine Hindoo. Next passesatall Malay in the white “baju” (jacket) and particolored “sarong’’ (close fitting skirt)-of his national Costume, looking doubly picturesque by contrast with the queer nondescript garb of a group of half caste women, whose shabby black European gowns and ill shaped hats add something even to the ugliness which bountiful nature has so lavishly bestowed upon them. Then ad vances a short, stout Cingalese, whose thick black hair is gathered into a kind of club on the top of his head and fastened there with a huge crescent shaped comb of tortoise shell.— Ceylon Cor. New York Times. Modern System of Advertising. The honest system of advertising should be but a small announcement of the offer of goods for the information of those who desire to purchase, in such a manner that those who desire to purchase, may, by seeking, find. But in advertising as it now exists, exaggeration is piled on exaggeration, and falsehood is added to falsehood. The world is filled with monstrous lies, and they are thrust upon attention by every possible means. The mails are filled with them. When a man opens his mail in the morning, tho letter of his friend is buried among these advertising monstrosities. They are thrust under street doors, and they are offered you as you walk the streets. When you read the morning and evening papers, they are spread before you with typographic display, they are placed among the items you desire td read, and they are given false headings, and they begin wjth decoy headings* They are posted upon walls, and on the fences, and on the sidewalks, and on bulle I tin boards, and the barns and housetops and the fences of all the land are covered I with them, and they are nailed to the tree j and painted on rocks. Thus it is that the whole civilized world is placarded with lies, and the moral atmosphere of the world wreaks with the foul breath of this monster of antagonistic competition.—Maj. J. W. Powell. Better ( ooki Than Women. Not perhaps for the same reason that great chefs are men, but because one of the most I striking phases of the civilization of today | develop® itself in that direction, men are get ting tobe better cooks than women. They I have always been better gastronomers. But I the man about town, the luxurious idler who ¡breakfast® at Delmonico’®, lunches at the Brunswick or at Savarin’s and dine® at Koiari’a, actually knows, as a rule, more about the constituents of the dishes on the menu, and how they are put together and heated to achieve a desirable result, than any woman he is ever likely to meet there or le'aewhere. There isn’t one woman in a | hundred who can go into a restaurant such as those ami order what a man would call “a decent meal.” Women who have traveled, much of life as their husbands and brothers see it, owe a vast deal of tbeir popu larity to tbeir acquired ability to know just I what's what acnsw a table a deux.—New lork Press “Every Lay Talk.” THE HUNGER STRIKE. GRIM DETERMINATION OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN RUSSIA. They Wanted Peruil.alun to Work, to Re ceive Food from the Outside, to Reed and to Go to Church—Victory Secured at Last. The following morning—it was July 8—all the prisoners of the “right solitary” refused to eat their food. When the warders, at the >rder of the director, opened tho cells at 8 «.’clock in the afternoon they found the food, placed there in the morning, untouched. An xcolleut supper, consisting of fragrant .ouillou, delicious roast beef and fuming tea uxl cakes—food the prisoners had already for- .otten the taste of—was placed iu the cells in the evening, but they were not to bo tempted, .nd took no notice of it. The same night hey were joined by the “lefts," or the oceu- ants of the “left solitary,” who had by some leans learned of their action and of the auses which prompted it. Seeing that tho risoners were in earnest, the director, at aiduight, ordered all food and water to be amoved from the cells. “1’11 make them eg for food,” he thought Ho did not sleep oat night. He stole on tiptoe from one ,icket hole to another, watching what tho .risoners were doing. They lay on their .allots, gazing at the ceiling, or talking to u h other by knocks, and in the twilight of ie cells their bodies reminded the director .1' hobgoblins. Grim silence prevailed in the amdor. Early iu the forenoon a delicious breakfast vas brought into the cells, but the prisoners xhibited no desire to eat it, and it was taken :ick to the kitchen. At noon a luxurious .nner was served, and although it remuinod intouched, it occurred to tho director to ave it all day in the cells. Tho voluntary ufferers threw the food into the “panishkas." iu the eveniug the same story was re|ieated, .vitb the same result. Tho director ordered ilishkin, AlexandroiT and Cicianoff to be brought from the "karzer' buck to their cells, hopiug to reconcile the prisoners, and that the three men, touched by their pardon, would try and persuade the others to give up their dangerous undertaking, but ho found he luid made a mistake—Mishkin, as well as Cicianoff and Alexandiv.fr, joined their fol low prisoners. At a late hour of the second night the di rector, accom[>aiiied by tho prison physician, went from cell to cell, begging and suppli cating the prisoners to eat, reminding them of their homes, fathers, mothers, relatives und friends, to whom they might soon re turn, apologizing for the rudeness ho hud dis played when overzealous in the performance of his duties, and explaining that he was merely a subordinate official who had to obey the orders from those above him. At all the cells the director received the same laconic reply, "Grant what we ure asking.” In tho forenoon of the third day the pris oners were all led into the yard, where the common prisoners aud soldiers sat aroiind large tables eating and drinking. Tho direc tor thought that the sight of persons eafiug would induce tho hungry to take food, but they did nothing of tho kind, and were taken buck to their cells. Outside the prison walls nothing wus know n of all these horrors. The direct r gave strict orders to all soldiers and warders to keep their mouths shut, and, fear- iisg liis wrath, they carried out his orders to the letter. The serious character of the affair so frightened the director that in tho morn ing of the fourth day be dismissed all the warders whose insolence had displeased the prisoners, and gave orders to their successors to be as jMiIite and gentle as possible. Again and again he visited the cells, humiliating himself before those whom he formerly treated as leasts, and coujuring them to eat and to live for the sake of their relatives and friends, but his efforts wore of no avail. In the evening of the fourth day the prison priest, a low lived hypocrite, went with a large crews in his arms from cell to cell, sup plicating tho prisoners to eat, in the name of God, but his prayers and entreaties received no attention from the half dead sufferers. Their condition that night was of a most de pressing nature. Most of them could no longer stand on their feet; some fainted, others raved constantly, an I special warders' hail to watch at their beds all night in order to prevent their sudden expiration. The 11rector did not sleep all night. The physi- lan and his assistants had never had such a .usy time before. Fifty-eight men were ipparently dying slowly from voluntary tarvation. They touched nothing but water, md some also abstained even from this. Tho same night a conference, presided over by the director, and attended by the physi- ian, the priest, the officers of tho garrison aid the head warders, was held at the prison >!Hce. The director delivered a mournful [leech, saying that he was tired of the duties f his office, that his office would kill him in few years, and that he was ready to resign . his resignation would be accepted. “But .hat is to be done nowf he exclaimed, dra- uitically. “I cannot grant their demands; i’s beyond my power to do it. Up to the resent time I still hoped the fellows would innge their minds or break down and begin > eat. For this reason I intended not to let 'io governor know of this horrible affair. Jut now I see they aro in earnest. They are '.etermined to die. I don’t want to be solely esjionsible for tbeir deaths, and I think it’s ime to report ev<k-ything to the governor .id let him act as he thinks best.” All agreed that no other course was possi le under the circumstauws, and a report ■ as got up and forwarded immediately to lie governor of Kharkoff. On the sixth day if the famine—July 8—Councilor Houmtzeff, iccompanieii by the chief doctor of tho ■rovince, arrived at the “centralka.” Thev, loo, liegan by exhorting the prisoners to take -.me nourishment Accompanied by the iircctor and the prison physician, they went rotn cell to cell, arguing, begging and ireatening, but their efforts were as useless is those of the director and his assistants. On the seventh day the prison was visited by a number of generals and the procureur, or attorney general, of the province. They received the same categorical reply: “‘Grant our demands.” Seeing that nothing could shake the resolution of the prisoners, and baring to wait any longer, the governor ordered the director to capitulate—that is, to promise to fulfill all tbeir demands. As the prisoners had no faith in promises of Russian government officials, both the gov ernor and the director had to sign a paper obliging tliemselves to permit the political prisoners tc work, to receive food from the outside, to read all the books permitted by the state censor, to visit the prison church on a Sunday named by them. etc. Thus, on the eighth day of the famine—July 10—tbe pris oners once again took food.— Michael Aiaikoff in Chicago News.
