THE TELEPHONE-REGISTER. M c M innville , September - O regon . - - - 27, 1889- MARTIN & SANDERS Personal and Pertinent. Private Secretary Halford’s illness is said to be ilue to over-indulgence in cigars. John L. Sullivan may find it difficult to change from a law-breaker into a law maker. Corporal Tanner’s resignation is met with perfect resignation on the pait of the public. The prefect of the Seine has snubbed Boulanger. The way of the agitator is often hard. Mrs. Cleveland recently shot a deer in the Adirondacks. Who says she is lead ing an aimless life? Robert Browning bears a striking re semblance to James O. Blaine. Nobody even at campaign time, ever accused the latter of writing poetry. Edward Bellamy, the novelist, is a slender, rather good-looking man who wears a mustache and looks no more “literary” than AVm. D. Howells. R. I). Blackmore, the English novelist, who gained immortality by writing “Lor na Doone” is growing old and now de votes most of his time to tending his garden. The White Cross University of Science has decorated Geo. AV. Childs, James Gordon Bennett, Thomas A. Edison, John AV. Mackay Cvrus AV. Field and AV. AV. Hubbell’ Ernest Benzon, the "Jubilee Plunger,” whose book on how he squandered over $1,000,000 in two years is having a run in England, says that the worst form of gambling consists in betting on cards. King Dinah, of Africa, who has made a sensation in Paris, has received au of fer from an American dime museum pro prietor to travel in thia country. To the song “Dinah AVon’t You Come?” Dinah sings “No.” Emmons Blaine was married to Miss McCormick, of Chicago, at Richfield Springs, N. Y., on Sept. 26.

Secretary Blaine and his family will go to Richfield Springs in a few days. A handsome suit of rooms has been en gaged for them at the Spring House. Mr. Emmons Blaine and his bride will reside in AA’ashington. President Harrison has changed his i demeanor in various important details since he was elected to his present office. He used to hang his head in a spiritless way ami never looked anybody in the eye. His manner waB what is known as “slouching.” Now, however, he has braced up. He holds his head high, his shoulders back and there is a straight forward glance in his eyes new and then when he is talking to an office-seeker. He is more particular about his clothes than he used to lie, and has really been improved by his elevation. Rather an Awkward Fix. “Funny thing happened to me once,” said the doctor. “I was at a little town in the western part of Iowa last fall at a place where I had stayed over night to nee a friend and expected to go to Sioux City next morning. The train was sched uled to leave at 10 o’clock, and shortly after 9, having seen that my trunk was duly checked, I decided to get my side- ! burns shaved off. so strolled into a har der shop nearly opposite the station. I There was only one chair in the place, I and that was run by a little fat barber. He received me cordially, worked along 1 quite leisurely, and had one side nicely ehaved when a bell began ringing fnri- I ously and a man ran along the main street yelling “Fire! Fire!” at the top of his lungs. AVithont waiting to explain or apologize, my fat friend threw down razor and rushed out doors, leaving me to await his return. I sat very pa tiently for ten or fifteen minutes, or until it was very near train time, and then I J began to grow restive. It was absolutely necessary for me to get to Sioux City the Sime day and theie I sat with a beautiful I sidewhisker on my left cheek and the , right one as bare as the palm of my hand. Finally 1 threw away the cigar I ' was smoking and went outside where sat a small lame boy, the only creature in in sight. ‘AVhere in thunder’s the bar ber ?’ I asked. “Oh he’s down ter the fire, mister. Yer sec Billy’s foreman o’ther hook and ladder company, an’spees ter be 'lected chief o’ tiier department next spring an’ he don’t miss no fires, Billy don’t!” “I groaned and went back in the shop; it lacxed two minutes of train time, so seizing the scissors I clipped off the left whisker as close as I could, then rushed for the depot just as the train pulled in. I sneaked aboard and hid in the smoker until we arrived in Sioux City, where I had the job properly finished. Nice ex perience, wasn’t it?” An Example for all Men. Ex-Senator Ross, of Kansas, always tails on his feet. Whenever lie retires from office—as lie lias done several times —lie steps into the nearest printing office and goes to work at his trade as a com positor. Pretty soon lie steps up—or down—and is next heard of as an editor, from which it is not a long stride for him to another office. And so he goes his rounds. A few weeks ago lie was gover nor of New Mexico, and, as .governors of territories go, a fairiy good one. Thence lie went to fingering the type, and now he is at work at the editorial desk again. But lie is not likely to be out of office long. Some change in himself or some political elevation is pretty certain to bring him into harmony with the popular sentiment and give him another place under the government.—/’, out the Hontoii Trartltr.
