THE TELEPHONE-REGSITEB M c M innville , June - - - O regon : - - 21, 1889. MARTIN & SANDERS PERSONAL ANO 1’EItTINENT. Three Ohio newspapers have come out for McKinley for presiddnt in 1892. Amelie Rives-Chanler has been invited by Catuile Mendes to collaborate a novel with him. Boulanger says that he likes the Lon doners but he can’t admire their climate and dinners. The Shah of Persia does not s[>eak English or German but can carry on a conversation in French. Bill Nye, tlie humorist, left for Paris the other day. Look out for more of bis humor from that gay capital. Edgar A'altns, the novelist, will soon set out for Italy. This country is not highly colored enough lor him. Secietary Rusk seems to feel that a Presidential bee is worthy of a welcome from the Agricultural Department. Ex-secretarv Bayard’s son will be grad uated from Yale this year. He will study law in his fathers office at Wilmington, Del. Sir Julian l'aunccfote is delighted with Mr. Blaine. He ought to l>e. The gov ernment never gave a foreign diplomat a junket before. President Harrison denies that he said he would run the government to suit himseif. After all, action speaks louder than words. • A remote province in Turkey proudly claims to be the only 8[>ot on earth on which Tascott, the Chicago murderer, has never been discovered. Senator Ingalls is out in Kansas fishing and mending his political fences. He is having more success in the former occu- piticn than in the latter On his tour to Asia Minor and Persia, H. Rider Haggard will be accompanied by an American negro who has been in his service for nearly a year. Rosa Bonbeur is another one of the famous people of the world who cele brate their seventieth birthday this year. She is still painting industriously. There is a story floating about in Eng land to the effect that the new courier who accompanied Queen Victoria to Bi arritz was a woman in man’s attire. Colorow is dead. Sitting Bull is dying, but Geronimo continues to raise cabbage at Fort l’ickens. On the whole, Geroni mo has the worst record of the three. Five hundred women in Tokio and Yokohama have subscribed to a fund for the purchase of a handsome Bible to be presented to the Empress of Japan., The Emperor of China has become warmly interested in Western science. Somebody bonld send him an account of the SuH.van-Kilrain fight—if it ever conies off. The Shah of Persia will bo entertained at Beilin next Tuesday with an artillery leview in the morning and a ballet per formance in the evening. He will enjov the latter. The fact that the German Emjieror has been ordered to Kissengen by his physicians leads to the conclusion that his liver is not much stronger than King Humbert’s. A Virginia newspaper says that ex Senator Riddleberger spends most of his time reading and fishing. Well,‘‘read ing maketli a full man,” ami so does fishing, at times. Marshall P.Wilder writes from London that he is having a delightful time enter taining the British aristocracy. He has just returned from Paris, where be visi ted Buffalo Bill. •Secretary Rusk is bound to be useful. Ho is preparing a volume treating of the common diseases of horses and cattle, which will be distributed to the farmers of the country in the fall. President Harrison received a letter a few days ago in which he was urged to learn to play lawn tennis. The writer said that the exercise derived would fully atone for the dignity sacrificed. Chicago’s Monopoly Threatened. Russia is making an attempt to get a hold of the trade in salt pork, which is a new export for that country. Papers on the curing of )>ork, ham and bacon are being read at different towns by experts who have l>een sent abroad to study the subject. ‘ Theoretically,” says our con sul at Tanganrog, “this new industry seems easy to introduce, but its estab lishment on a practical basis in South Russia is doubtful. The economic con dition of the inhabitants must first be raised considerably before any care will Ixi bestowed by farmers on cattle which at present are sadly neglected and miser ably fed, as is shown by the meat selling in the market. Reiiorts show that the tr.al shipments of salt pork (twentv- three railway wagon loads) made from Eletz were very successful, but later re ports from other places left a margin of profit, which alone will deter Russian traders from seriously taking up this branch. The government, however, is fostering this industry. The Imperial banks are emfiowered to make advances 50 to (¡0 per cent on the value, and JO.OOOr. have been assigned for the con struction of a slaughter house, etc., at Grizzi.” At present there is a very gen eral want ol the knowledge and skill ne cessary for establishing a successful trade; and although in the southeastern provinces there are large numbers of pigs suitable for certain qualities of ex- port we are assured that there is not much prospect of England receiving in the near-future cheap prime salt ixrrk, hams or bacon from Russia.— Pall Mall Gazette. Yankee Bathing Customs. There is no place where more eccentric ideas of propriety are found than in New England. Take bathingasanillustration. At Cresent Beach and other popular re sorts in the neighborhood of Boston on anv fine summer day you will find plenty of female excursionists who are their own bathing houses, so to speak. That is to say, these fair but economical creatures bring long water proofs with them, and, putting them on, disrobe unobtrusively beneath them on the open beach. Be neath their ordinary clothing they usually wear their bathing suits down to the shore, and so are finally seen to emerge from the protecting mackintoshes fully equipped for a plunge in the ocean. When they come out they ut on the mackintoshes again, drop t' ir wet gar ments beneath them, an having re sumed in like manner tl. r everyday- garb, become once more vi ole. This is recognized as a correct sty cf going into the water on this coast, a 'nobody a)>- pears to regard it as Pecu . r in any way. Not any more so,indeed, than the Yankee custom of setting apart some section of every beach for the men who wish to en joy the surf in their buff. The said section as a rule, occupies a conspicuous portion of the sand-strip, so that women who arc strangers are apt to come upon it at any time with embarassing unex pectedness ; but it is the custom therefore not o]>en to criticism. The writer vividly remembers a primitive spot he once vis ited on the Maine coast, where the men nsed each day to bathe in purie naturali- lios, from a rock, where the women watched them from a supposedly decor ous distance, though near enough to shout recognizingly, as each one took his dive into the water, "There goes Jim!” “It’s Sam next!” “Now Bill is off!” and so on as long as the entertainment lasted. Yet there was no thought of impropriety in volved. I it» d I hell Mil* ■R V" 01 ill »1 J. Competition in the Stylo and Strength of this Pump, and Confidently R e c- ommend it as the We have a machine quite unlike anything else. New Principles, Now Ideas. It is tho New High Arm “ DAVIS.” It is new patera; A New Model. Did you ever see a sewing machine with Only Six Working Parts? If not you never saw this now ma- chine. The old method of feeding from below is entirely done away, and all the complicated machinery con- nected therewith taken out and dispensod with. No Machinery Underneath to clean or oil. This Nev/ Feed method does not Stop at seems, but Steps evenly over them. There is Only One Tension to regulate. No holes to thread through. It is a Mechanical Wonder, yet no more interest- ing for what It Is, than what it will do. It is the only machine having Steel Roll Bearings for its needle bar. The only machine having a Support for the Needle after it leaves the needle bar. This “ New Davis ” is as far ahead of the old ma- chines as the Telephone is ahead of the speaking tube. Come and See for Yourself. It will pay you From Curiosity. We are so much interested in this ourselves that we are anxious you should see, know, tell and help us get these facts before the people. Ladies, come; Tailors, come; Mechanics, como; Experts, come; Everybody Come and See this new model machine and learn what it will do. Èàte® ! ,1 ; < [ J ; < ! J ’ < ■ ; i ’!
