Reports made to the convention show considerable decrease in the Feder ation's membership is attributed to the fact that nearly 20,000 miners have been out of work in consequence to the strikes and the financial troubles, last fall.

SUSPECT Physicians Not Satisfied With' Hiccough Theory CASTLE ROCK MAN'S DEATH Quite Investigation Begun and Mrs. Kunart and Richard Greenwald Are Arrested, as a Result of Infor mation Received. CASTLE ROCK, Wash., July 14. Suspecting that Godfrey Kunart, of Castle Rock, did not die from hic coughs after all, Mrs. Kunart and Reinhold Greenwald, a friend have been arrested, on information sworn out by a countryman of Kunart. Kunart died last Friday, supposedly from a malignant attack of hiccoughs, but the physicians who attended him were not satisfied and a quiet investi gation was begun. The result was an inquest yester day, Coroner Bird and Prosecuting Attorney Hubbell, of Kalama, having been notified. Much testimony wa3 taken throughout the day but nothing was elicited sufficient to take a mur der case into court. The body had been sent to Portland last night for analysis for poison. The jury was then dismissed till re turns are received from this analysis when the investigation may be re sumed. The most damaging circumstantial fact adduced was the purchase by MYs. Kunart of poison at a local drug store a short time ago and the sup posed unusual friendliness of the woman and Greenwald. Mrs. Kunart has three little children. MINING CONGRESS MEET.

One of the notable, in fact, glaring, delinquencies besetting Astoria, is the craft and trains and the north beach j absence of a first-class, modern hotel; resort hotels are literally swarming there is nothing in her business align- witn delighted tourists and summer ers," who seem to think there are no other coast resorts anywhere near them. On the other hand, the Astoria Columbia River Railroad Company, which has even a finer resort objective on the Oregon coast, from Astoria to Seaside, and with swifter, equally as direct, and splendid service out of Portland, and from the "North Bank" and Northern Pacific lines, from the interior, seems to have utterly aban boned the program of advertising its summer havens and schedules for which it was famous two years ago, and has allowed the travel to the Clatsop resorts to diimnish notably this year. It rivals its rival in every detail, save that of skilful and attrac tive advertising, and the people of the coast country are wondering and complaining of this laches, of which the A. C. was never guilty before. The service they put up is ample and as fine as any in the country for the lineage and territory, and why the advertising has been suppressed no one but the management can say. At all events the travel is markedly less and is commented on here and all along the line, as a remarkable de parture by a company, which in re cent years has done some of the best and most attractive advertising railway annals. in "HOW LONG, OH, LORD?." r The Astorian has refrained for some time to echo the widespread and justifiable complaint of the home pub lic against the quality of the tele phone service in this city, for the rea son .that it wanted to give the tele phone company a chance to gather it self together after its trials and tribu lations incident to the San Francisco earthquake and expose and find its working level again, in the hope that Astoria; as the second city in Oregon and the most patient, as well, might be remembered and dealt with as it deserved; but the radical and uncom promising attitude of the Chamber of Commerce, in this regard, leaves the paper no alternative but to get squarely behind the movement for an improved service, and stay there until it shall have been established. Nothing that shall be said must be attributed as reproach to the com pany's present manager, Mr. Brunold; he has always done what he might to placate a very disagreeable situation, and at the same time sustain his com pny and accommodate its thousand and more patrons here. The trouble lies beyond his gates and grasp; from 100 to 500 miles beyond. For five years, the city of Salem, the running mate of Astoria in population and importance in Oregon, has enjoyed the service that is due this city. She has the best the company could devise and install, and is quoted all over the Northwest as erfjoying an ideal system. Now, Astoria, after uncon- ment that is so broadly missed and commented on; and so general and uncomplimentary has the passing criticism on this score become, that Astorians are beginning to ask perti nent questions about the plans and purposes of the Weinhard Estate with regard to the site it controls here and has primarily improved for hotel equipment of this sort. Inquiry at headquarters elicits the vague and poor comfort that "the plans are be ing prepared and that as soon as they are submitted and approved, the work will go forward." This is the sub stance of our prospect in this line. save, fo course, that the fine site at Twelfth and Dtiane streets has been improved with fine foundations and filled to the proposed cement base ment floor. It is conceded always that there are good business reasons for delay in such an enterprise as this; but those reasons ought to be made manifest to a curious public, that in default of them construes the delay as indiffer ence and neglect. It may be there is a shortage of money, but this is not an acceptable theory here, where the wealth and financial prestige of the great estate is a matter of common knowledge and appreciation; what ever the cause for delay, we hope it may be soon obviated and that some thing will be done to demonstrate that another season is not to pass with this rank deprivation hanging over this community. The projectors of this fine improvement certainly have their rights, but the people also have rights and interests that are not wholly negligible.

Possibly bo bad made some little mistake In diagnosis and was rather vexed about it "Will you sit down. Mrs. AlnHlee?" Dr. James voice broke In upon her thoughts. Sho sat down In the big armchair where she had sat Just now-all those mlnutes-or was It hours ago?-when she bud first come Into the room today with Dr. Bryant. Dr. James seated himself at the table facing ber. This room waa brighter than the other where sho had waited so long. The sun came Into It, and little patches of light danced upon the carpet and upon the table that was strewn with letters and upon the great man's kind, quiet face. Outside the window there was ac tually a tree. It was April, and tbe leaves wore beginning to grow green and waved gently to and fro In the soft spring air. Her eyes left the dancing leaves out side and came back to the faces of the two silent men. She realized that thev "I buai.Ii thy to i.kau ai less about the Why, hor dear, loving, fussy old Ito'b- wfm- ftrn"lf lulfet- V I "Wall fillA aaf.l In A nni vvi, me aearest nubby tu the world, would think she wa going to die nt the very least if ho knew she was sit ting in Dr. Edward James' room wait ing the verdict!

Something lu tho words framed by her own mind sent a quick little shiver through her for which sho could not account, and a vision rose before her of n prisoner waiting at tho bar and wondering wondering, perhaps, wheth er the Judge would presently put on the black cap or not. Ah, well, it must be terrible to be In such a position. She was only waiting-waiting for what? A sudden recollection crossed her mind of the great doctor's quiet, re stnlncil voice that had held In some thing which she had nt the moment not quite understood. It flashed upon hor now nil at once that It was pity. But why pity? Her heart gave a frightened leap. She picked up' nn Illustrated paper from the table before, hor and began Well," she said In a gay little voice. "what Is the verdict? You"- The words died on her lips. She could not have said why, only something in Dr. Jnmes' face gave her a curious sense of suffocation. "Mrs. Alnslle," he said gently, so gently that a sudden longing to cry assailed her, "I nm afraid we have not very good news to give you." He paused, and the sudden longing to cry left her. Some Instinct Inherited from her Rev olutionary ancestors made her draw herself up In her chair dud look the old man sqrarely In the face. It was he. not her, who winced a lit tle as sho said quietly: "Is it a very serious operation, then? Don't mind telling me. I am not afraid." She was dimly conscious that Dr. Bryant turned quickly away from where he stood and moved toward the window and that the silence following her words seemed weighty with mean ing. "No," Dr4 Jnmes. said slowly, "I am face, but she sat perfectly still, her eyes never leaving bis. "Yes," be answered so gently that he almost smiled at him, "that is what I mean."

She could almost have sworn that tbe gray eyea watching her grew dim. She realized that the figure by tbe window seemed to be rigid in it stillness. "It will be a shorter time tban that." The great doctor's voice trembled. She waa so very pretty so very young and pretty and falr-and so beautifully dressed. It was absurd to think of her clothes at auch a moment, but It would have been easier to tell her If she bad worn a shabby gown! It flashed Into his mind tbat U was like killing a butterfly tbat wa danc ing in tbe sunlight and yet "A shorter timer She interrupted hla thoughts. He leaned forward and laid his band upon her arm.

The silence In the room was like something tangible, made more em phatic by the chirping of tbe sparrows in tbe tree w ithout and the rumble of tho busy New York streets. It was the little lady herself who broke tho silence. "Thot was a hard thing for you to tell me." she snld gently. Then she glanced down at her own clinched hands. "Do you know," she went on, and a queer little smile flitted across her face, "1 have torn my handker chief into ribbons while I sat here. But but it won't matter now will it if It Is only to be a week?" There was no answer from either of her listeners. Words were impossible to them. Only5 a great admiration dawned In Dr. James' eyes as he look ed into the bright, resolute ones that faced him. "Thank you very much for breaking it to me so so gently," she said in tnat smootn, even tone tbat never trembled or changed. "It is a very great surprise. A a week you say?" The great man bowed bis head. Ob viously he could not trust himself to speak. "How strange!" she sold. "Next week there is a big ball and I am going I mean I was going my dress will come home and I How strange!" Dr. Bryant turned abruptly from tho window. She Baw that his eyes were full of tears. "It is so hard quite to realize," she went on, "that things will go on Just the same and I not be here" She paused, glancing out at the gieea tree uud the sunlight. "But I ought not to take up your time." She rose and turned courteous ly to Dr. James. "You have other peo ple to see, and I hope I hope you will not have another verdict to give like mine" For the first time her voice shook a little, but her eyes were still steady. "Will you have a cab called for me, Dr. Bryant? I should like to go straight home."

The steamer Northland arrived in yesterday morning from San Fran cisco and berthed at the Callender dock, where she laid for an hour or more discharging cargo. When she left out, her captain noticed four men rushing down the dock and yelling like they were possessed, and, recog nizing them as some of his passen gers, checked his ship's headway and rang her back alongside. The four men had plainly been drinking and all made a rush for the nest of dol phines at the west end of the pier and bunched themselves on the swaying piles, avoiding a repetition of a like, or a worse, accident to that which befell John Stademan at the Rose City on the O. R. N. pier Monday after noon. But, as the stern of the North land swung inboard, a number of the crew reached out- and grabbed the several half-drunken men and hauled them over the rail to safety by a mir acle of sheer strength and timeliness. Everybody who witnessed the caper was prepared for any miserable out come of the situation and the captain was openly censured for coming back at all for the drunken delinquents. The bay was full of small water craft, launches, tenders and fishing boats, all of yesterday' expediting the get-away of the various seining out fits to the many seining grounds be tween the Tongue and the Capes. The Tallant-Grant "Noah's Ark" was tow ed alongside Fisher's dock where 12 head of horses were taken on board and she was taken and headed up for Taylor's sands near Tongue Point. There was a general scattermentin this industry and by this morning all will be ready to launch the season's work. There are 18 piece of 11 1-irtch well casing, each 20 feet long, being loaded on one of the Callender barges this morning for the oil fields at Deep River. R. A. Wade, the secretary of the operating company there went to Los Angeles for the material which could not be purchased in the Colum bia valley, and brought it up on the Roanoke. Mrs. Wade made the voy age with him. The company is now down on their first boring just 270 feet, and will use the new casing on all subsequent work. The exact official measurements of the new cannery tender "Occident," built by R. C. Basil, for the Columbia River Packers' Association, as filed at the custom house are: Gross tons, 8; net. 6: leneth. 35.7 feet; beam, 9.9 feet; depth, 3 feet; she carries a 20 horsepower Troyer-Fox engine, ami her official number is 205,455. The steamer Sue H. Elmore was -beached at the west end of the Kin nev cannery yesterday morning and her propeller shaft relieved of a lot of clogging stuff that was imbedded there. She will return to her dock this morning and load out at once for Tillamook. The fine Standard Oil S. S. Col. E. 1. Drake entered port yesterday at noon and spent the balance of the day at the company's dock pumping 10,000 barrels of oil into the plant s tanks. She left up at 7 o'clock last evening under pilotage of Capt. Harry Emkins. The tine and trim British steamship Ascot, lumber laden for Melbourne, Australia, came down the river yes terday morning and went out over the Columbia bar at lp.m. The steamer Charles R. Spencer came down, about an hour late, yes terday, with 42 passengers for As toria and a few tons of freight. She went up 35 minutes later with 36 people from here. The steamer Horner arrived in from San Francisco, last evening and went on to Portland after a brief stay here.

After a series of conferences with steamship officials and cable despatches between Thomas MacMichen and Frank Lahn in Paris Mr. MacMichen said last night that word had been sent to Farham requestng him to ship his big airship with all possible haste to Ant werp for Boston on Thursday. Mr. er Samland, which will sail from Ant werp fr oBoston on Thursday. Mr, Lahm has been conducting the nego tiations on behalf of Farham for the St. Louis syndicate which had prac tically completed all arrangements to bring the successful aeronaut to this country when, at the eleventh hour, it was discovered that on account of its geat size the passenger steamers re fused to carry the machine. It had been supposed by members of the Aero Club here, that the wings of the machine could be folded up and toved away in a moderate compass. As the cases containing the frame with the wings are about 45 feet long they are too big for the hold and too long for the deck. On advice of the manager of the International Mer cantile Marine Co., a cable despatch was sent to Mr. Lahm, advising him to have Farman's airship sent by the Samland as facilities would be made, it stated, to have the boat carry the enormous machine, l He samianu is lue in Boston July. 27 and the 'first lav's flight at Brighton Beach was to have been made on July 29. DARING HOLD-UP INJURED MAN IS 111-; PROVING JOHN N. STADEMAN, VICTIM OF THE ROSE CITY ACCI DENT LAST MONDAY WILL PROBABLY RECOVER. John N. Statcman, who was ser iously injured Monday afternoon in an attempt to get aboard the Rose City as she was leaving her dock fot Portland, is still in a very serious con dition at the hospital. Although he is still greatly suffering, Dr. Fulton, the attending physician, has hopes for his recovery. The patient, who was totally blind Monday, caused by blood conjesting and swelling his face until his eyes were closed, was consider ably improved in this respect and could see quite well yesterday. When seen yesterday he was able to speak freely, and complaint of the pains in the small of his back, which are caus ing him much more suffering than the other injuries he .sustained. His friends at Portland who were tele graphed for at the time of the acci dent arrived last night, and are doing all in their power to relieve the man. But the excellent treatment he is get ting at he hands of a private nurse, and the good sisters, is impossible to be improved on. His complete recov er, if no unforseen complications set in, will require at least several months and after his recovery it is doubtful if he will again be able to engage in active work, as his back will never again be as strong as it was, it is said.

Survey Begins The actual work of surveying for the new electric line to Seaside was commenced yesterday. Several short lines, have been run over the heights during the past week or two for the purpose, mainly, of ascertaining the altitudes, but the line began yesterday marks the commencement of the real work of laying the electric line to the coast. The surveyors ran south on Eleventh street and up the Heights to Irving. It is understood that the engincrs in charge of the en terprise do not look upon the aru- tudes with any misgivings, as the way the hill figures out now no greater grade than 12 per cent is likely to be met with, which is a grade that the modem electric car can overcome readily enough.

THE SUN-DIAL'S MOTTO If j'Vu want your life to run with out friction, adopt the sun-dial'i motto; ''I record none but hours o( minshinc," What a great thing it would be if we could only learn that the art of wijilng out of our memories forever everything that U unpleasant, every thing which brings up bitter memor ies and unfortunate foundation and depressing, discouraging suggestions, would double and quadruple our hap piness .and power! If we could only keep the mind filled with beautiful thoughts, thoughts which uplift and encourage, the efficiency of our live would be multiplied many, many times. No mind can do good work when clouded with unhappy thoughts. The mental sky must be clear or there can be no enthusiasm, no brightness, clearness, or efficiency in our mental work. If you would do the maximum of whic't you are capable, keep the mind filed with sunshine, with beauty and truth, with cheerful, uplifting thoughts Bury everything that makes you un happy and discordant, everything that cramps your freedom, that worries you, before it buries you. Man was not made to express dis cord, but harmony; to express beauty, truth, love, and happiness; wholeness not halfness; completeness, not in completeness. The mental temple was not given us for the storing of low, base, mean things. It was intended for the abode of the gods, for the treasuring of high purposes, grand aims, noble aspira tions. It docs not take very long to learn that the good excludes the bad; that the greater motive, the grander af fection, excludes the lesser, the lower. The good is more than a match for the bad Exchange. BARGAINS IN BABIES Among the deacons of a Presby terian church in an Ohio town was a good old gentleman familiarly known as "Uncle Thomas". Although too deaf to hear, he was aJways in his accustomed seat at church, and his eal in religious work was untiring. Owing to a shortage of song books in the Sabbath school, some addi- tional ones were ordered by "Uncle Thomas", who apprised the pastor of their arrival, and the latter agreed to announce the fact from the pulpit on Sunday morning. The pastor made the promised an nouncement, among others, conclud ing with this one: "Parents wishing their children baptized will please present them at the close of the service." The good deacon jumped to his feet and, in the loud voice peculiar to the deaf, bawled out, "Those who have not any can get them at my house for fifty cents apiece!" As "Uncle Thomas" and his wife had always been childless, this start ling information almost broke up the meeting, and a wave of merriment swept the congregation that threaten ed to shake the church from its foun dation. Exchange. STIMULUS OF AFFIRMATIVE We do not think highly chough of our superb birthright. We do not realize to what heights and grandeur we were intended and expected to rise, or to what extent we can really be masters of ourselves; that we can control our destiny, make ourselves do what is possible to us, make our selves what we long to be. "I, myself, am good fortune," says Walt Whitman. If wc could only realize that the very attitude of assuming that we are the real embodiment of the thing wc long to be or to attain; that we nosscss the good things we long for not that wc possess all the qualities of good, but that we are these qualit ies wih the constant affirming, "I, myself, am good luck, good fortune; I, myself, am a part of the great creative, sustaining principle of the universe, because my real, divine self and my Father are one,' brings it about what a revolution would come to earth's toiler! "Nerve us with incessant affirma tives," well said the Sage of Concord. Few people understand the tremend ous force there is in a vigorous, per petual affirmation of the things we long to be or that we are determined to accomplish. Great things are done under the stress of overpowering con viction of one's ability to do the thing he undertakes, under the stimulus of a vigorous affirmative expressed -with unflinching determination. One might as well have tried to move Rock of Gilbraltar as to have attempted to turn Napoleon from his course or to change his decision. What did he care for the Alps, for "impassable" rivers, or for desert sandsl The Daily Market Report PORTLAND, July 14.-The move- mcnt of new crop hay has started in .w. ...i ,.i win .,M.,v..v v. .w v... v. vlley timothy, the first of the season, having just been brought to the city.

"In 1902 I had a very severe attack of diarrhoea," says R. N. Farrar of Cat Island, La. "For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, 1907, 1 had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain's Cholic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief. I consider it one of the best medicines of its kind in the world, and had I used it in 1902 believe it would have saved me a hundred dollar doctor's bill." Sold by Frank Hart and leading druggists. Over Thirtv-Five Years. In 1872 there was a great deal of diarrhoea, dysentary and cholera in fantum. It was at this time that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-five years main thined that record.

THE MORNING ASTOIUAN. ASTORIA. OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JULY 15 Have just received a fresh supply of Imported Macaroni and Spaghetti and Martin's Full Cream Cheese A. V. ALLEN Sole Agent for the Celebrated H. C. Fry Cut Glass. PHONE 711 PHONE 387t UNIONTOWN BRANCH PHONE 713 "DRYS" IN SESSION National Prohibition Convention Opens Today WILL INSIST UPON BETTER 'PHONES IF NOT FORTHCOMING, BUSI NESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN WILL ASK FOR REVOCA TION OF THE FRANCHISE. That the business and professional men in the Astoria Chamber of Com merce intend to carry on the fight against the Pacific States Telephone Company may be taken as an assured fact, judging from the temper and at titude displayed by many of them who are constant users of the 'phones. It is planned to carry on the matter un til the franchise of the company is revoked, or until it has bettered its service to such a degree that it will give at least fair satisfaction to the majority of its users. Mr. Whyte, manager of the Cham ber of Commerce, acting in accord ance with the instructions given by the meeting of the Chamber the prev ious evening, yesterday prepared let ters to the local manager of the tele phone company, to the common coun cil, and to the various independent telephone companies now doing busi ness about the country. The communication to the city council wil tentatively ask in the name f the Chamber of Commerce that the franchise of the telephone company in Astoria be revoked forthwith. The communications to the inde pendent telephone companies include an invitation to establish an independ ent company here. On all sides are heard complaints of the "miserably poor service." In the office of the Chamber of Commerce is a list of copies of letters on file, which contain repeated assurances on the part of the company of an imme diate betterment in the service, but as far as can be ascertained the con cern has not made the slightest real effort to accomplish anything. The last letter addressed to the local manager of the company by the Chamber of Commerce did not even elicit a reply. That it will be readily possible to revoke the franchise seems to be the prevailing opinion, yet an examina tion of the franchise granted to the company in 1901 tends to show that a revocation may not be as easy a thing to accomplish as it is to wish for it. The franchise does include a phrase to the effect that it shall stand re Toked ipso facto by the failure to live up to the terms of the instrument; but by a strange oversight, it con tains, apparently, nothing which calls for proper and decent service. It does demand on the part of the city, that the rates shall not be higher than in other cities of the same size in Ore gon having equivalent service; and yesterday it was said that even under this clause the company should be held amenable, as its service is said to be ontoriously poorer than in other rities of eoual size where the same rates are charged. At all events, it is planned to appeal to the council to revoke the franchise and let the com pany, if it can, show that legally the council exceeded its powers in so doing- But if the plan of revoking the franchise fails, then it is said that the business and professional men can simply get together and by a "gen tlemanly understanding" agree to pa tronize a new company. Unless there is a striking change of attitude on the part of those now in teresting themselves in the matter, it would appear as if the present agita tion is not a mere "kick" which will be permitted to die away and be for gotten in a month or so. The Pacific States Telephone Telegraph Company has wires and offices from Canada on the North to Mexico on the south. It is commonly looked upn as the "telephne trust." Probably the cities that have had trouble with the company in the last decade could be counted by the hun dreds. In scores of cities and towns independent companies have been created, and; as far as is known, the Pacific States Company or "Sunset Company" as it is better known never lets go when once it has a noiu. ine outcome mus rcsuus m.u dual systems arise in towns. "The double 'phones are a nuis ance," said a gentleman yesterday, "an entire nuisance, and yet as far as 1 know there is no other way to bet ter the service. Of course business men and doctors, lawyers, and so on, can simply get together and tacit ly agree to patronize only the new company as a punishment to the old for its sins, and thus the extra ex pense of paying for ..two systems can be avoided. And that plan, if carried out, would mean that the present local concern would get just what it has tried so hard to earn for itself." Already the, Chamber of Commerce is figuring on "backing up" and aid ing the expected new concern by helping it to get the patronage of the city. The "foxy" lawyers who drew the franchise for the Sunset Company managed to include within its pro visions a clause which reads that the city council cannot grant a franchise to any new concern on terms "more favorable" than contained in their franchise. 'LOCKJAW CAUSES DEATH. HILLSBORO, Or., July 14 Frank Susbauer, the 11-year-old son of Henrv Susbauer, near Cornelius, died Sunday from tetanus, as a result of a sliver, which he ran into one of his toes two weeks ago. BUSINESS SECTION BURNS. LOS ANGELES, July 14.-The business section of Daggett, a small tnwn on the Moiave Desert, was practically destroyed by fire last night. The blaze, which is supposed to have started in a barber shop, i quickly burned the main business block, there being a scarcity of water Among the buildings destroyed were the postoflfice, Hart's Hotel and Mc Rae's Cafe. The loss is about $50,000. NEGRO STRUNG UP. MIDDLETOWN, Tenn., July 14. Hugh Jones, a negro, was strung up to "a sapling limb near here early to day by a mob of 100 men. Jones had attempted to assault Miss Ora Yoppys, aged 17. He was being brought to Middletown by special deputies. THREE DIE OF HEAT.

HAVE SEVERAL CANDIDATES Will Enter Candidates For Presi dency and Vice-Presidency One Leader Avers That Women Drink More and Men Less. COLUMBUS, O., July 14-The National Prohibition convention will open here tomorrow, and a vigorous movement in behalf of Professor Charles Scanlon, of Pittsburg, for the Presidetnial nomination i the latest i development, i roicssor acaiuon is the field representative of the Tem perance Society of the Presbyterian Church. He led the fight against the indorsement of the anti-saloon league at the meeting of the Presbyterian General Assembly here a year ago. Up to the present time one candi date for vice-president has appeared. Professor A. S. Watkms, of Ohio, is a candidate for this place. It is ex pected he will be named for Governor bv the state convention tomorrow and if so, it will be with the understanding that he will' withdraw from the state ticket in the event that he secures ;econd place on the National ticket. The reason there are no other entires for the vice-presidential contest is that it has been a custom to select the candidate for this place from among the defeated candidates for President. While some of the leaders are an tagonistic to the Anti-Salon League, it is significent that invitations have been issued by the National commit tee to Rev. P. A. Baker, superintend ent of the American Anti-Saloon League, and Wayne B. Heeler, su perintendent of the Ohio League, to attend the convention. 'A fight against a platform of nu merous issues and in favor of one con fined to the single issue of prohibi tion was started at the opening ses sion by Temporary Chairman H. L. Peeke. of Sanduky. Mr. Peeke, in an address which consumed more than 2 hours, assailed woman suffrage, which has come to be regarded as an estab lished tenet of the party, declaring that women drink more and men less than they did a decade ago and that the cakest laws regulating the liquor traffic are in the woman suffrage states of Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming. Making Himself Sscure. After the funeral of an old woman in a remote Yorkshire hamlet her sona and daughters made a vigorous search for her will, but without success, al though they knew that she bad pre pared one shortly before her death. "What's ta done wl' it, Jock?" the eldest son asked the youngest, who, being unmarried and a great dunce, had always bung on to his mother's apron strings. "Tha's been In t' house all this time, wl' nobody to watch thee, an' it looks a bit fishy. Hast ta burnt It?" Jock violently refuted the charge. "Why, Ah nobbut 'ad It In my 'ands once," be declared. "Ah, then, tha admits there wor a will?" cried the eldest brother trium phantly. "Of coorse there wor!" Jock frankly confessed. "She gave it to me t' day afore she died, but Ah couldn't read a word of It, so Ah took It art an' burled It to keep It Hiife. Ah'm not going to let uny brothers an' slHters get ahead o' me. When Ah've learnt to read for me sen Ah shall dig that will up, but not a day earlier!" And they had to "have the law on him" before he would divulge the hid ing place of the document. ARREST DYNAMITER Dastardly Vidian Taken in San Francisco REFUSES TO CONFESS ALL Blew up Gallagher Places in Oak land, But Refuses to Tell Who the Men Are Who Paid Him For the Job. SAN l'KANCISCO, July 14,-John Claudiancs, a Greek, 23 years of age, has made a confession to District At torney LaugdiMi that he is the man who dynamited the residence of Jas. L. Gallagher in Oakland, and after wards wrecked with dynamite two houses owned by Gallagher in Oak land which were unoccupied. Claud iancs has been arrested by detectives in the employ of the dintrict attorney. Gallagher is a former supervisor of San Francisco who ha testified against Ruef in the graft cases. The information regarding the arrest, which was made on last Satur day night, has been withheld because the district attorney hoped to be able to apprehend Peter Claudianes, an older brother of the men arrested, who is believed by the district at torney to be the man who inxpirrd the young brother to do the deed. It is asserted by the district attorney that in a letter which John wrote to Peter on July 2, and which had fallen into the district attorney's hands, John convicted Peter of being the man who planned the dynamiting, and that he accuses his brother of receiving $1,000 for the job and then refusing to divide. Although John Claudianes has confessed to being the actual perpetrator of the crime he re fuses absolutely to divulge the names of the persons who he claims paid his brother $1,000 for committing the crime. FOODS OF ITALY. Specialtis of the Friggltrioi In NapUs and Genoa. Huge men'y chestnuts are found ev erywhere In Italy. Peeled and boiled In a reddish broth seasoned with lau rel leaves ard caraway seeds, the nuts are palatable. About two dozen of the large kernels are sold for a penny, lu both Genoa aud Naples the frlggltrlcl are Interesting, and some of tbelr spe cialties arc well worth a trial if one can forget the unappetizing appear ance of cooks and cooking appliances. One friggitrlce attracts attention to a tray of golden balls which she piles In a pyramid. The gulden balls aro arti chokes. They are boiled In salted wa ter uutll tender and are put In a pan over steam to keep tbeui hot until a customer appears. For threepenco the vender will take one from the steam ing pan, dry 11, dip It Into batter and pop It Into the hot oil. A moment later a golden brown ball, delicious and crispy on the outside and tender and succulent on the Inside, Is banded to the purchaser. The frying is man aged In such a way that when the fritters ae taken frojn the Jifttlo thff are very hof, but so dry" on the outside that they scarcely soil the fingers whes. eaten from the hand. Another frif gltrice specialty Is that of cheese balls, They are made of paste filled with grated cheese and fried. Mashed chest I nuts, rice, chopped chicken and many j vegetables aie used to vary the fillings for the popular frltos. Gome of tho 1 frying kettlc-s are portable, and the frlggltrlcl hnre regular routes like the milkmen, where they tap at the base I ment door, g;t their orders, take their tiny bellows and blow up the char coal until It glows and then cook tho breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes or artichokes, which are sent In hot Les&a's Weekly. In Praise of Tea. Klenlung, the Chinese poet, was a prolific writer, and of all his poems his Immortal "I'ralse of Tea" is most widely remembered. Written in ex quisite characters, It decorates half the old cups, plnles and fans of his period. Thus It runs: "Place upon a gentle fire the tripod whose color ami form tell of a far antiquity and fill It with water of molten kuow. Let It seethe till It would be hot enough to whiten fish or to redden n crab. Then pour It into a cup upon the tender leaves of a se lected tea tree. Let it rest till the mists which freely rise have formed themselves into thicker clouds and until these have gradually ceased to weigh upon the surface and at last float away In vapor, then deliberately sip the delicious liquor. It will drive away ail the causes of disquietude that come to trouble us. You may taste and you may feel, but never can you express In words or song that sweet tranquillity wo draw from the essence thus prepared." Solenodons. Only two species of that singular in sectivorous mammal, the solenodon, are known, one Inhabiting Haiti and the other Cuba. They differ chiefly in the color aud quality of their fur. Solenodons arc quaint looking animals, rather larger than rats, with long flexi ble snouts and naked tails. FOR GIRL STUDENTS Houses Being Built at University of Oregon PROPER HOMES FOR CO-EDS. At Least Three New Places Will be Ready For Occupancy in September and Householders Art Mora Dis posed to Rent Rooms This Year, UNIVERSITY, Of.. OREGON', EUGENE, July U.-Girt at the University of Oregon will be well housed next year. At least three new houses, accomodating between 60 and 70 girls, will be ready fur occupancy in September. The Mary Spiller House, named for the first woman connected with the University, is now being completed and comfortably ftimished, It will have rooms for 20 to 25 girls, aud be tinder the same general control as the men's dormi tory. It is beautifully located on the highest part of the campus, ami gives promise of being a most pleasant home. The Kloshe Tillacum Club will have a handsome new home by the opening of the University. The carpenters arc preparing to rush the building as fast as possible, It will accomodate between 20 and 25 girk The Zeta Iowa I Its Sorority is hav ing a new house built on the corner of Uth and Hinh St., which will have room enough for 20 girN. The plans call for a very handsome build ing. Room for rent seem much more plentiful than usual, probably for the reason that the touch of hard time has made many more people willing to rent. These, together with the new girl's houses and the old ones already established, will make it com paratively easy for the University to find good home's for the large number f girls that will enter in September. TANNING JOF LEATHER. It It Probably the Most Ancient of All the Arti. Tanning of leather Is probably the eldest of all arts.

IRVING AND"oNTAGUL One of Thtlr Practical Joksi That Seared Their Friend. In Scott's "The Prams of Yesterday and Today" the author tells of a prac tical Joko played by Henry Irving and Harry Mont ague upon a number of th'dr friends, and "In Its execution was seen tho first dawning glimmer of that Iroglc force that was ultimately to find expression In Hood's 'Dream of I'.ugeuc Aram' and 'The Hells.'" Irving and Montague, hitherto the best allies, be gun to quarrel on their way to a picnic, and their fi lends feared some tragic eoiiseqnences. After luncheon both of the men disappeared. uiiihiv sv sv iuimvu uvnuy imiu felt that bis wont fears were being reallwsl. With ono wild cry, "They're gone-what on earth tins become of them?" he made a dash down the Liar glo over the rock and bowlders, with the remainder of the picnic party at bis heels. At the bottom of a "dreadful hollow behind the little wood" n fearful sight presented Itself to the usfunlshel friends. There ou a stone sat Iletiry Irving lu bis shirt sleeves, his long hulr matted over Lis eyes, tils thin hands and white face all smeared with blood, and dangling au opeu clasp knife. Ho was muttering to himself In a savage tone: "I've done It! I've done It! I said I would! I said I would."' Tom Bmnle In an agong of fear rushed up to Irving, who waved him on one side with threatening gesture. "For God's sake, man," screamed the distracted 8 male, "tell us where he Is I" Irving, scarcely moving a muscle, pointed to a heap of dead leaves and In sepulchral tones cried: "He's there there! I've done for him! I've mur dexedjdm!" Smalo llternhy bounded to the heap and began flinging aside the leaves lu every direction. Presently he found the body of Marry Montague lylug fac downward.
