is indescribable and inimitable, con
taining more wit, pathos, humor
and solid sense than any one lecture
he ever recollected hearing." This
is high praise from an unimpeacha

veyor is makiugaUne insurance map
of this city, for the Sanborn Mop
and Publishing Co. Lltogmph cop
ies done in New York will go to nil
parts of tho world for tho informa
tion of all insurance companies.
What a JouhnaIj reporter saw of
the mop, gave the Impression that it
is a very complete work. Including
uiinuto details. As an incidental
proof of the growth of Salem, it
may bo mentioned tltat it fakes ten
sheets to make the map, that in 1884
required only four.
A Getd MiTtmtit.
Singing is not to be neglected in
the public schools of Salem. At the
East school Miss Gillingham, who

It is tho intention to teach many

From thoir arrival on this plnnot
to their usually airly doparturv from

angular physiques jwss a sort of
half-existence. Like dormice they
burrow in their home retreats,
afraid of heat, afraid of cold, con
stantly anaid that the shadow of
the dread reaper will materialise
and exact the forfeit which he de
mands of all, sooner or later. No
finer mcdineinal ossurauco of com
parative vigor for the feeble exists
than that afforded by llostetter's
Stomach Rittoi. Used with in
sistence not with spurts and
spasms this genial and profession
ally commended tonic will do much
toward Infusing strength into a
puny system, and rounding oil'
scrawny angles in tho human fig
ure. Appetite, nerve tranquility
and nightly repose are encouraged
by it, and a malaria, rheumatic
bilious tendency overcome. It re
establishes digestion and prevents
kidney troubles.

C. P. Bailey, the great owner of
angora goats, 10,000 in number, from
San Jose, Cal., was in town yester
day. He has gone to Portland, but
will return on Wednesday, and visit
the fair. The goat interest is an im
portant one for this valley, where
bo much clearing of brush is to be
done.
D. H. Lafollet aud wife returned
from a visit to Baker City. They
say that it may be a very good coun
try, but it is too dry aud dusty for
them. They will take theirs in the
Willamette valley for the rest of their
days. They were just behind the
train that went through a burning
bridge this side of The Dalles, where
the engineer and flroman were kill
ed. For nil lee on both aide of the
track are forest firea. Mr. Lafollet
saw the great Baker City fire, that
ran up into hundreds of thousands
of dollars. He says that Salem is a
hundred par cent, ahead of that
place, both for water and engines in
case of a conflagration.
Stati: Faiii G hounds, Sept,
Having my attcutlon called to an
article appearing in this morning's
Dally Statesman that reflects upon
the managers of the Southern Paciflc
Railroad Company unjustly, I deem
it but just to state that said railroad
company should bo exonerated, aud
I know there is no truth In the
charge that said company lias dis
criminated against any one who may
want to come over their lino of road
to the Oregon state fair. On tho
contrary, they have instructed their
local ucKcts agents to sell excursion
tickets to all persons who may desire
to attend said fair at a rate fttllv as
reasonable as the rates specified in
the article referred to. lalso would
say that tho reference made in tho
article to the race meeting just closed
and tho Mechanics' fair of Portland
is unjust and uncalled for. It is
regreted that said article should have
appeared. J. T. APPERSON.

He says that tho mllkiness or mud

DIED.
Less than formerly, but still too
seriously, young women contemplate
the destiny of an old maid. They
look toward the time when they
may We so described as toward a
lengthening period of shame and
reproach. They dread passing from
the sunny plane of expectant girl
hood into tho shadow of settled fate
in single life, as though they were
to step over the lino that separates
honorublo womanhood from a pecu
liar mlsfortuue that only women can
ttuiTer. Rather than endure this
supposed humiliation, a woman who
had lived a patient, loving, service
able, unwedded lifo, committed sui
cide recently. She had not the
courage to be an old maid, she said.
There Is something pitiful In this
falso notion, this subtle self pride,
surviving the semi-civilized era
when it was thought that tho chief
end of woman was marriage. The
world is moving so rapidly away
from the old theories, customs, and
prejudices that once held women in
social bondage that it seems extra
ordinary that stupid conceit of the
past should make wretched the lives
of, good, earnest, and free women to
day. Ono time it was the highest
ambition of women in gonerol to
become wives. Their whole youth
ful training and odueatlon was
shaped to that finality. Not to se
cure a husband was evidence of a
flokle nature or an unattraetivechar
aeter, and no woman of spirit oared
tohuvoit said that she could not
win a husband. But moral mid in
tellectual vWwa have broadened so
greatly since the time this vicious
prejudice made stares ami puppets
and lay figures of women, people of
mind and worth no longer count it
have reached out so variously and
extensively that woman has become
one or the active Instruments of
soolal development, and Is no longer
a passive, dull tool, moroly incident
al to the creative scheme. She has
become niUtress of herself, is left
freo to choose without criticism, cen
sure, or reproach whatever respect
able path she shall tread In the plan
of life. From a household ornn-
mont or domestic drudge she has ex
panded Into a mental, moral, and
spiritual force ; has become an agent
of art, science, and education, as
well as a mistress of tho graces, and
is respected for the forces, powers,
and qualities within her, tho truo
womanhood that is made up of
mind as well as matter and Is in
spired by genius as well as tempered
by sentiment.
The world has learned that wom
en can think as well as love ; that
they can achieve as well as serve;
that they are imbued with divine
attributes as well as blessed with
material charms; and in learning
this the world has, however reluc
tantly, struck from womanhood the
bonds custom welded upon her in
tho days when tho warrior savage
found tho delicate companion of his
peace only fit to carry and servo in
tho business of life, which ho
thought to be only fighting. Wom
en formerly married to secure pro
tectors; under the now dispensation
tlioy can protect themselves. Form
erly woman was content to admire
tho exploits, bravery, and achieve
ments of men ; now sho knows that
she has the ability, tho talent, tho
genius, and the physical energy to
enter boldly Into the lists and chal
lenge the mind, the soul, the heart
of man in independent action.
Medicine has opened its sacred ar
canum to her, law has yielded to
her irresistlblo demands, the arts
have crowned hor their worthy vo
tress and priestess ; the pulpit Itself
has bade her welcome, and educa
tion has hailed her as ono of its
ablest and most enthusiastic allies.
She has brushed away gloriousfy
tho old scorn that bound her sub
ordinate in tho household of man.
She stands erect on the high places
witli man, add may, in devotion to a
high calling, put away the Impedi
ments of marriage, and go singly
with honor through tho life shcJ
brightens and ennobles.
Marrlago Is no longer her inevit
able end. Her destiny has made
marrjago a'uhblec, notan obligation,
and tho old contemptuous epithet Is
as empty of meaning now as tho
gibes of tho fool against tho teach
ings of tho wise. Old maids have
left names that will shine in history
like stars in tho firmament. If
there bo work to do, and if it be
done worthily, tho world' no longer
cares whether it bo performed by
matron or spinster, by benedict or
bachelor. Tho woman who makes
tho liest use of her talents, who
serves faithfully in the ways of life
to which her conditions constrain or
urge her, needs no other courage
than good conscience to smile when
she Is called an old maid. Night
ingale, Bonheur, Cushman, Wlllard,
are names borne by old maids, but
who moro honored, more gratefully
remembered than they ? Exchange,
