Mrs. Schafler, of Chicago, has lately invented a garbage crematory built on the plan of a large oven. It is fed from the top, the ashes sifting through iron grates into four wheel carts bo that they may be conven iently hauled away. It is w) con structed that the smoke and smell are carried by pipes into a largo smokestack. She has also con structed a machine for washing win dows. Frank Leslie's. Salem aud all large cities need some such crematory. And now, while everything is dry aud before the rains net in, would be a grand time to have a general clean up and burn up garbage and trash. The resultant ashes would be a fine fertil iser for onions and other crops. Ktltn aid tke Floater I'ms. At the meeting of tho board of trade, last night, Gen.

M'ACK IN VKKY GOOD ItUMANH. Machinery, Turin Product, Mock, Home luiUiHtrlc mill Flutter to be Well ltepre- ented. Mr. K. L. Hibbard, of Sllverton, who has been appointed superin tendent of the pavilion at the state fair, came in to-day to arrange for the disposal of space in same. He reports a good many applications especially in the machinery depart ment, which will be well filled with a great variety. There are already more entries than usual. Mr. M. Wilkins, formerly presi dent of thesocietv, of Lane county, who makes the collecting of grasses a specialty, writes that he is progress ing well with his work and needs fully as much space as last year. George Relsliaw of the same county, will have a magnificent showing of grain. The applications for room for lloral displays in the garden lie token a grand show in that Hue, as this season has been especially favorable for plant and blooms. The garden will be under the general supervision of ti competent florist. It should be remembered that there will be no entrance fee on ladies' exhibits this year, but they are entitled to premiums all the same. Speaking of the cash premiums, it should be remembered that they will all be jwid in full and promptly this year as the society is in better financial condi tion than for years before. It is no longer a matter of con tingency about the noted racers being here, to compete for the $1,000 and other pur&eson the track. The indications of fine stock being abundant are very good. Salem and Portland merchants ouixht to imitate firms in other states, and make well arranged and attractive assortments of their wares, since competition is the life of trade, and it affords one of the best means of advertising. At the great fair at Columbus, Ohio, this month, additional at tractions arc a Honied in the shape of a day each for the republican, democratic and prohibition parties. Each is to have its day arranging its own parade, speakers and doings. It is expected that tho adherents will crowd In from all directions on the respective days and so swell the gate money and thecnthuslasm. It is not likely that the management of our fair cares enough for affording the farmers, when gathered from all quarters, an opportunity to hear tho three sides to follow such an ex ample. Oregon has not grown up to that yet. Politically It is pretty sure to go one wayandsucha course as that at Columbus might disturb present relations. One wise change made is the re duction of the entrance fee one-half. That will greatly Increase the at tendance. Mr. Hibbard is determined to have the pavilion all in order and thoroughly cleaned up before the hour for opening, on Monday, 17th lust. Space should all bo 'ap plied for by tho 12th. Intending exhibitors note that. A Tabacc Kxklkititi. New York will hold a big tobacco exhibition next winter. There are 600,000 retail tobacco dealers in the United States end 000,000 workers interested in the manufacture of smoking and chewing tobacco. A French machine will be exhibited which will make cigarettes without the use of paste and automatically rolls, counts, sorts and puts the cig arettes into boxes. A novel exhibit will be a collection of pipes covering a period of 100 years, from the stone calumet of the Indian to the Jewel- In-lald mecrshauin of tho Vienna ex quisite. Pipe and amber carving will be shown in all its branches. The new growth of Florida-grown tofcacco will be also shown. This tibacoo, according to some accounts, is the equal of Havana leaf and Is expected to revolutionize the tobacco trade in this country Marriage at BllrrrUi. As will bo seen from the usual marriage notices In another column, Miss May Coolldge, well known In Salem, was married on Wednesday, at Sllverton, to Mr. L. G. Adams, a olerk in Wolffs store in that town. Their many friends extend their heartiest good wishes that life may be loug and happy to the newly married pair. They will remain in Sllverton.

Shoreland, a missionary from the Willamette valley to Africa, under Risliop Win. Taylor's charge, wrote to Jtov. T. L,. fcalis that it was so difllcult toobtaiunativeAfrleanboys on the Congo, to educate iu tho Christian faith and to civilize, that ho had been obllited to give for two of them the overcoat bo bought iu Salem, and twelve handkerchiefs per month for each boy. When tusked to give a dollar for foreign missions many of us are to apt to forget the self-denial, the sickness and often the premature death of those who go out to better the con dition of tho heathen.

Wo trust ho will treat them well!" Tho charitably dis posed believe that they have gone on further, examining defective roads aud bridges. I'rtm Utker Statti.

Calling In at Squire O'Donald's shop, the writer observed him fram ing a rather peculiar looking docu ment, a diploma of membership in the oriental order of the palm and shell. It Is a side degree of Masonry, gotten up by Dr. Rob Morris, a well known literary man and great traveler, who visited Salem shortly before hl recent death, at a ripe age. He is held in high esteem by many both iu and out of the fraternity. He was a native of La Grange, Kentucky, but had become almost cosmopolitan. Some years since he was unexpectedly made poet laureate of the great order to which he was so devotedly attached by a large meeting of prominent Masons from various parts of the United States, at New York. Occasionally a Mason may be noticed wealing a small white shell as a charm on his watch chain. These shells were brought by Dr. Mortis front the shore of Galilee, for the members of the order spoken of at the com mencement of this article. Also a plain, unpolished iron ring bearing the mystic letters. A.N.I). The di ploma of membership Is very enigmatical and to the uninitiated interesting but both literally and figuratively, to a great degree, in an unknown tongue. It is signed by Henry It. Coleman, Louisville, Ky., assistant supreme chief of lT. S. A., Titos. Rowtiiaii Whytehead, York, for England and Ireland; Robt. S. Rrown, for Scotland; Rolla Floy, Joppa, for Syria; Ferdinand F. Oddi, Cairo, for Egypt; Constantino C. Carrer, Smyrna, for Asia Minor. Dr. Morris lived a year in Jerusalem, instituting the first Masonic lodge there in the English language Royal Solomon by name; he Its first W. M. He had collected many curios, among them some coins 2,800 years old He was author of descriptive poems hymn, a famiiar some beautiful and devotional one, set to music by the well known Dr. II. R. Palmer, begins "Kiich cooing dove iiml nIkIiIiik bough, That mnkt'8 theoew lilest to me, Hun honictliliij; I ur diviner now It bourn me haek to Cliillleo." Ho was a very inteiesting lecturer especially on the evidences of the truth of tho bible, being an active Sunday school worker and member )f tl10 Rresbyterian church. It was unfortunate that no church could bo obtained for his lecture on tho night that ho was In Salem, as It was Thursday and no one liked to give up a prayer meeting for the purpose. His request that a sprig of ever green should be hung on each certificate of membership when news of his death was received, has been compiled with here. Ho was a "righteous knight." Peace to his ashes. A I'ei'Dllar IrrlJrnt. Almost everyone In town knows Willlo Murray, a bright lad of about 14 years, whoso father Frank Mur ray formerly resided here. For sev eral months past, Willlo has teon engaged In freighting goods from this point to Bridgeport. When ho left hero on his return trlpyestorday morning, among Ids other freight he had some cans of powder, and when out some distance on tho road, looking hack he discovered thnt tho powder was leaking out Into tho road. Stopping his team ho went to where the inflammable material was hca)cd up in the wagon rut and stooping over began gathering It up. Iu doing this a match fell from his pocket which either from Iteing stepped umii, or the hot rays of the sun, took fire, igniting tiie loose powder and burn ing the boy very badly. Mr. J. I). Wright who acquainted uk with the circumstance, says his right hand Is nearly burned ofl aud that Ills head and other portions of his lody are badly scorched. He was taken to Bridgeport where his parents reside. Uaker City Reville, Sept. 1st. -- Heats.

The Hamilton family had a number of chickens, and these began to dis appear Inside of one or two nights in an alarmingly rapid manner. The coop was almost empty, and Mr. mid Mrs. Hamilton mourned thereat. At 0 o'clock one night a noise was heard In the coop, and Mr. Hamil ton and the hired retainer sallied forth tocaptun the marauder. Mr. Hamilton was armed with a shotgun loaded with bird shot, while the hired man carried a lire-torch. Hear ing their approach something darted from the coop and took refuge in a tree. Mr. Hamilton, thinking it was a wildcat, climbed the tree and when he got close enough emptied ltis shotgun Into a dark object perch ed on tho branches above him. Down came the object, striking Mr. Hamilton, and he came down by the run. The hired man saw that it was a huge cougar, and, dropping his torch, he tied like a scared wolf. The cougar began to feel for Mr. Hamilton, when the hitter's dogs took a hand in the tight and dis tracted Mr. Cougar's attention Then Mrs. Hamilton picked up the torch and Joined in the melee, which by this time had become quite In teresting and exciting. The cougar made for Mi's. Hamilton, but that plucky lady burned his chin whisk ers with the torch and so held him at buy. Mr. Hamilton elubbed his gnu and struck tho cougar, break ing oil the stock. Then ho took the barrels, and with the assistance of Mrs. Hamilton and tho dogs, soon beat tho cougar to death. When stretched out the animal measured some nine feet. The hireling lias In-en discharged, the cougar skinned and the pelt will lie tanned and made Into a cloak for Mrs. Hamilton. Portland News. lion lie Took in "HoMlnc'' The N. Y. Tribune, Dec. II, 188JJ, says "Geo. W. Cable, the Now Or leans novelist, has carried tho Puri tan literary capital by storm with his delightful readings from hisown works. Further experience con firms the first verdict that Dickens was nowhere eonj pa red with Cable as a delineator of his creations. His concluding entertainment, luter- s)crslug ureolo aud A mean songs with Ills readings, was such a suc cess that a repetition had to bo an nounced for next week, and not a ticket was to lie had for love or money by noon of the day of the opening of I ho sale."
