Z. Taylor, aged 60, and Captain Qucntin Rankin, both of Trenton and widely known lawyers, out of their hotels at that place ad murdered the luitefs, failj to report the finding of Cot. Taylor's body or any trace of his whereabouts. A man named JPowell, who hauls fish from The' Log to Myckman Is said to have been forced to accompany the mob which numbered about 80 mem bers.' Powell had been staying at the hotel when the riders called every one out and compelled them to line tip. Col. Taylor, Captain Rankin and a surveyor whose name is unknown, are said to have been taken away, others being permitted to return to their beds. Powell states, it is said, that after killing. Rankin, a vote was taken, regarding the disposition to be made otj Taylor.: After a, dispute, Taylor made a dash and jumped into the Bayou river and started to swim across it. A number of shots were fired at him and in 'the confusion Powell slipped away and brought back the story of his escape. Search ers found the trees on the edge of the Bayoa clipped with bullets and there were deep footprints in the mud along the shore. On the other side of the Bayou tljere was single footprints. Governor Latterson ar rived" at Humboldt during the after noon and held a consultation with the citizens of Trenton who came to meet him. Governor Patterson an nounced he had offered $10,000 re ward and would visit the scene in person. Judge Joseph E. Jones adjourned the circuit court this afternoon and called a special session at this city PICTURES A DECLARES Has Not Authorized Posters How in Circulation With Alleged Interview on Political Situation INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 20, In a; of Labor has made no statement ex statement td the Associated Press, pressing his views, Mitchell says John Mitchell, former president of that the federations' policy is that of the Mine Workers of America, saysorganized labor is not committed to that secretaries of various local any political party, but so far as in unions have written him regarding the use of his picture with an inter view below, purporting to give his views on the present political situa tion.

FINAL SPEECH C.'l NOV. 2 National CommSttes Will Send Prom inent Speakers Into Ohio, New York and Indiana For Final Whirl in These States. NEW YORK. Oct. 20-Judge Taft will leave Cincinnati tomorrow night and begin at once his tour of Indiana. On return from New York he will close the campaign with a speech at Youngstown, Ohio, Monday night, November 2 The impression that the1 Republican national committee has virtually taken charge of the campaign in Ohio is erroneous. The impression doubtless grew out q a statement made today by Chair man Hitchcock that the national committee had arranged to send' a number of speakers into the state. The national committee has done this with full understanding with the state committee. So the matter was explained at the national headquar ters today. The national committee is especially interested in Ohio be cause of the many, though disputed reports of disaffection in several sec tions of that state. The committee in sists it has no doubt of the result in the state as a whole. It now pro poses it was said, to "Clinch the nail." Taft will appear at all the day meetings which have been scheduled in his itinerary in Indiana and Qhio but will not speak at any of them. The object of this is to satisfy the crowds that are expected to attend and, to save Taft's voice for the night meeting's. After the conference late today with State Chairman Wood ruff Mr. Hitchcock said while he never had any doubt about' New KRAUD MITCHELL their power they are endeavoring to- elect to 'office bonafide members of trade unions and others known to be in 'sympathy with political and indus trial reforms necessary to the wage earner. Other than circulars carry ing out this idea which he has writ ten and will continue to write, Mit chell says, were written supporting no candidate. r York, he is confident than ever that Taft ifhd Sherman electors would have a great plurality in that state and that he is just as confident of the re election of Governor Hughes. The final whirl of Republican national campaign will occur in Indiana, Ohio and New York. From now until the day of voting every available speaker of national reputation will be heard in the three states which both parties regard as pivotal. The national com mittee has arranged to throw the fol lowing speakers into Ohio: Taft, Postmaster-General Meyer, Secre tay Garfield, Secretary Straus, Sena tor Doiliver, Senator La Poilette, Leslie M. Shaw, General O. O. How ard, Representative Foster of Ver mont and Representative Longworth of Ohio, The campaign in Indiana also will be conducted with all the vigor the national committee can put into it. ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 20.- Russia has been given to understand from Bulgarian sources that Bulgaria although doing everything for the preservation .of peace, cannot look with indifference V on the military preparations of Turkey and that if mobilization is ordered in Turkey, Bulgara will be forced to inaugurate military operations herself. DO NT WANT POLITICS. WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. -The supreme court of the United States today' indicated the disapproval of the efforts to bring that court into politics by denying the motion to advance the hearing in the case of the Nobel State Bank of Oklahoma against Governor Haskell and oth ers, involving the constitutionality of the Oklahoma Bank depEs.it guaran tee law.

Sequestered Convict Sends Out Letter Seeking to Perpetuate IT REACHES THE ADDRESSEE PROMPTLY Henry Elunk Endeavors to Allure Into Further Csi;cert cf Release The Morning Astorian is present-, mg a case this morning that indi-1 cates some very loose methods pre- vailing at the Oregon State Peniten tiary, aside from the foul spirit that actuates the man behind the letters' quoted, and which will make many people in this section profoundly re gret the mistaken leniency with which udge Thomas A. McBride' disposed of a certain criminal matter at the June; term of the Circuit Court for this county, to-wit that of Henry Blunk, the scoundrel who ruined one sister and sought to destroy the moral nature and character of a younger sister, but was foiled. It will be remembered that this man blunk ran, away from seaside Hth Clara, the 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Millard, the girl go ing up the road dressed in boy's clothing, supplied her by Blunk, only to be arrested i at Portland through the agency, of the Women's Aid Society and 1 restored to .her family. Blunk was nabbed at the same time and brought back here and subjected to arrest and trial, upon a "charge of attempting to lead a minor into vicious ways, and sent to the penitentiary for. one year, he entering .the state's prison list June. The case was notable at the time for the cold and callous infamy of the man's dealings with both ""girls, and stirred up a good deal of popular feeling at the time. Blunk" had hardly, entered the pen' before he secured the services of his cell-mate, one Robert Walze, to write the following letter to the elder BRYAN AT LOUISVILLE, Candidate' Makes Five Speeches to Enormous Gatherings. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 20. -Passing in review before thousands of people along the line of march followed by a parade of many hundreds of march ers and speaking to more people than the sound of bis voice could reach, Col. Bryan tonight made a brief rally south of the Ohio river. The rally in Louisville culminated one of the buricst days of the campaign and the outpouring here equalled any and perhaps surpassed anything, in 'the way of demonstration the candidate has met with since he was notified of his nomination. For the time he left New Albany, Indana, just across the Ohio river until he spoke his final words of farewell, Bryan was the recipient of a continuous ovation, His favorite topic today wer the democratic platform as it relates to labor; guaranty bank deposits and the publicity of campaign contribu tions and frequently aroused his hearers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. DEMOCRATS HAVE $300,000. NEW YORK, Oct. 20-The Dem ocratic national committee today gave out its list of contributors of sums for October 17 and 19. Con gressman Ridder said that the cam paign funds now amount to about $300,000.; Tammany Hall is credited th giving $10,000. John T. Murphy of Montana gave $250 and L. C. Mc Laine of California $100.

PORTLAND, Oct. 20. -II. T. Butterworth, a jeweler and promi nent business man of St. John, a sub urb to the north of this city, was shot through the heart and instaii'Jy killed by a highwayman shortly after 9 o'clock tonight. The murder was committed in Butterworth's front yard. The object was to steal a dia mond ring valued at about $350 which Butterworth wore. Butterworth had just entered his front gate after closing his.sore a few blocks distant Mrs. Butterworth and her two little girls heard the gate shut and arose to meet the husband and father at the door. An instant later they heard Butterworth fall, though no shot was heard by them. Mrs. Butterworth opened the door and ran to the side of her prostrate husband to see what the matter was, and discovering that, he had been shot she summoned neighbors and these called a physician. The serv ices of the latter were useless as the victim was killed instantly. The St. John police believe that Butterworth was followed home by someone, aware that he wore valu able jewelry and that as he passed into the shaded gate the assassin discharged a heavy calibre revolver close to his body. Wifh remarkable swiftness the ring was removed from the fallen man's finger and before Mrs. Butterworth had opened the door the robber had disappeared.

TELEPHONE MAIN ML THE WEATHER. i I-, -v i t ft Oregon and Washington Occa sional rain 4 m..- w i 1 -t PUBLIC SERVICE STANDARDS The Morning Astorian admits its predilection for cleanliness and com petency in public office, and this without a shadow of partisan spirit. There is an old-fashioned idea that the functions of public office are honorable and are bestowed as among the highest expressions of communal confidence; it is a trust eeship that may not be slighted, ho matter how careless the people themselves get to be in regard to them. The investiture of office car ries with it the fiat sense of popular reliance in the man invested, and not even the heedlessness of the public may condone the deliberate wrong of the servant Graft will never be justified on the score that the graft er is un watched; it is enough to V say he is trusted implicitly. That puts it up to him to make good. In his failure he confesses his un worthiness, and time brings his pun ishment. All the Astorian asks is that the offices shall be administered for the benefit and safety of the people and their properties and the good name of the community. And the Astorian speaks for the people as it has the right; it is the admitted func tion of all newspapers; a function qualified by 33 years of legitimate, consecutive and fidelity to this cause and course. NO SLATE HERE. A certain member of the Astoria common council went to the trouble on Monday night last, to deprecate any further official attention to the Adair drain because, "Mr. Dellinger (the proprietor of the Morning As torian) was going to put in an en tirely new council on the first of Jauary, and it was not necessary for the present council to trouble itself," or words to that effect and sub Stance. This sort of thing was ut terly uncalled for, wholly gratuitous, sheerly personal, and a tacit chal lenge to every newspaper in the city. The councilman made a foolish break, as he found within an hour of this declaration. It mortified his col; leagues and placed him on record as a poorly read citizen, since, had he rea the Astorian he must have known that this paper has never, un der any circumstances, made, pre sented, demanded, nor contrived a "slate" of any kind, and that it has not, today, a single, distinct or spe cific choice of man or men, for any office in the municipality whatso ever; that it has not hinted such a thing.-but on the contrary has averred its freedom from all ties and alignments and people. The Morning Astorian has no slate, will, make no slatedoe's not want one and will not lend itself to the formula tion of one. is that plain ehoughT; But the Morning Astorian will take a fcand in the election, and re-elec- tion,. every good business ;rrian who will permit his name to come up for electoral consideration, for the coun cil and every office in the gift of the city, be. he Democrat or Republican, or what he may; and it will also" have something to do with the defeat of such men as it shall conclude are en titled to that treatment, on whatever grounds it may deem sufficient, and it has specific grounds for just such action in several prospective cases, not the least notable of which is that of the gentleman who volun teerd the uncalled-for assertion in the. council last Monday night.

ALONG ARTISTIC LINES. While Astoria is surely and stead ily surging ahead on general and commercial lines of improvement and development, it must be remem bered that she i holding her own in an artistic way, musically artistic be it understood; that her clever men and women in this line,, the very best of them, are merged in an or ganic whole, the Astoria Philhar monic Society, which under the masterful leadership of Dr. Emil Enna, and the spirit and access of its own strong equipment in the art itiserves, is becoming one of. the noted agencies of the coast country, as a musical establishment; it has won tordial notice from the maga zines of that cult, and its first con cert is conceded to have been one of the best ever given as an initial demonstration; and there are those among the priest-hood of music who do not hesitate to prophesy great things for this particular group of people in the near future if they shall observe and maintain the high standards already set, ?v This is very gratifying to the peo ple of Astoria, and it is presumed that such a realization will prompt the most cordial support of the so ciety in its coming public appear ances. STRONG POLICY. An extremely important feature of the constructive Republican policy, is the national move for the conserva tion of the natural resources of. the country. This measure has been originated by the present Republican administration and, like the Home stead Law, the National Irrigation j act and other measures for the benefit of the whole people, its influence is destined to be far reaching and pro ductive of great good to the home builders of the country. The National Conservation Com mission as it exists today is an out growth of the Inland Waterways Commission. This commission was appointed by President Roosevelt in March, 1907. In his letter creating the Waterways Commission the President used this language: "That the Inland Waterways Commission shall consider the relations of the streams to the. use of all the perma nent natural resources and their con servation for the making and main tenance of prosperous homes." AFTERTHOUGHTS. Mr. OJney insists that the Repub licans have been in powertoo. long. So they have too long to suit the Democrats, but not too long to suit the workingmen who remember vivid ly the empty dinner pails of the last Democratic administration and the era of prosperity and high wages that has endured three Republican administrations. It was! most tactless of Mr;- Parker to refer to "Democracy!! past mis takes" .and the candidacy, of Mr. Bryan almost in the same breath. The Republican party, Mr. Bryan says, is in full retreat. Perhaps it could make., better speed if the road wasn't so' cluttered Hip with deserting Democrats. i For a Sprained Ankle.

Events have nullified every proph ecy ever made by Bryan. Such a prophet merits no trust for the future. Mr. Bryan challenges Mr. Taft to take the people, into his confidence. It isn't necessary.

NATIONAL mMZtU PROTEST Present Rule Impoe a Dlsadvant age Upon Them at to Tlma and Ammunition, Etc, EtcMany Ex pected to berreient WASHINGTON, D. C, October 20,Important change in the pro gram for the National Rifle Matches will probably be made at the next annual meeting of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice. A number of novel ugges tioni have been advanced, all being intended to relieve the situation in cident to the winning of the first four place in the National Team match by; the teams repreicnting the reg ular service. So much distinction in the rifle world accompanies the win Am of these prize that the differ- into the content with great spirit. The army, navy, and marine corp col lected their most expert markmcn from all quarter and apent months in Meeting and training the teams which Rally represented them. The National Guard teams feel that they are at a disadvantage under the pre sent rule, at they are necessarily re stricted both as to time and ammuni tion, while the regular service teams are not. Again, the1 cavalry and in fantry teams which represent the ar my, are chosen from fifty or sixty men who are regularly instructed In marksmanship and whose pay is in creased In proportion to -their ikil with the rifle On; the other hand, such teams as those from Oklahoma, Utah, Ariiona, Wyoming and .other of the States where the National Cuard are numerically weak, are e icciea irom a icw hundred men whose instruction and opportunity to practice are necessarily limited.' In many cases the stale dA-naj posjess ranges of over six hundred yards and yet their teams are compelled to shoot against the cracks of the Army, Na vy, Marine Corps and of such States as Massachusetts, New 'Jer sey and Ohio, all of which are equip- V ped with excellent ranges, The National Guard is as a whole willing and anxious' to fry conclu ion with the army and other service teams, tut' there is a growing desire to see conditions adjusted so that especially the weaker state will have a better; chance. Among the sugges tiont advancd is that two prizes shall be set aside for the service teams and that four' prizes" shall be distri buted to the National Guard teams, all to shoot at the same time and place and under similar conditions It is understood that this plan is fol lowed in English catches where the volunteers are not expected to cope with the regulars, or the i reserves with either the volunteers or regu lars. Another plan which meets with Considerable favor, provides for di viding the contestants into three di visions, the first two to consist of .seventeen teams each' ad the thrd of the remaidcr. At Camp Perry, Ohio, this year, therewere fifty teams of twelve men each, entered in the Na lional Match, representing forty five states, and territories, the army, navy and marie corps, and the Naval Aca demy. Under the proposed scheme the first seventeen teams would be entered next summer in the first di vision, the next seventeen in the sec ond division nnd the remaining 16, with, all new entries, in, the, jthird d vision. Prizes would be offered in each division and there would be. a con stant struggle among the teams in each division and of the teams' to get from the third into the second or the second into the first division. President Roosevelt has again giv en evidncce of His strong interest in rifle practice by t writing letters to .Sergeant .A.Brest,of the 15th U. S: Infantry, Lt. A. D. Rothrock, Ohio National Guard, and to Lieut. S. A. Harris, 14th, U. S. Infantry, congrat ulating them on1 winning the Presi dent's match, the National Individual Match and the Military Champion ship, respectively, ai the recent na tional rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. The President's match is shot under the rules of the National In- Y dividual Match and the man making the highest combined score wins the military, championship.;. Heretofore the .President generally confiiifli himself to congratulating the winner of the President' match, shot under theuuspieei of the National Rifle Association, but this year he wrote to all three mentioned. As officer abovethe rank of Cap tain were excluded from the national matches this year by the wording of the appropriation-, act, the; language of President Roosevelt to Lt. Roth rock and Lt. Harris 1 significant. To the former he aid, in parti "It 1 true that as an officer you would not be required in service to use a rifle but your men 'must', all know how to shoot or they are useless on the bit tie line; anJ yoi, f ould not, properly teach them how to shoot unies you had the practical knowledge which only a high class shot can posses." To Lieut. JIarrt, he wrote, in part: "It ii with special gratification I write th letter to you, Every ofliccr of our .army should know how to shoot the. rifle.

UUi PARISIAN TIME FOR VESSELS ON THE HIGH SEA. In a memoir recently submitted to the French Academy of Science,' Pro fessor Bouque de la Grye offered a very valuable suggestion that met with a rather favorable consideration. According to this suggestion there wofild have to be created universal signaling posts for transmitting, by the aid of wireless telegraphy, the time corresponding to the meridans of the earth, to vessels sailing on the high sea. A daily signal given out at mid night from the Eiffel Tower would thus transmit the time corresponding to the first meridan to vessels loca ted on the Atlantic and Mediterra nean. Captains would thus be kept posted exactly as to the point on which their vessel happens to be. This, however, would mean a mater ial advance, eliminating any danger, while dispersing with any laboriaus time calculation.

The Cascades went to the Hammond Mills docks and will take on a quar ter of a million feet of lumber there, finishing at Prescott, out for the home voyage. The Lurline went up the river last evening with plenty of freight, and the following, people listed for the trip: Norris Staples, H. M. Rounds, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Carmichael and family; Mrs. F. Genedy. Ham VaugTin, chief engineer for the Van couver Transportation Company, is now serving as chief engineer on the flagship. The Department of Commerce and Labor, to which was referred the claim of the British "Steamship Bo veric, for the rebate of expenses in cident to the coming of a customs officer from Tacoma to Knappton to clear her lately, has declined to in terfere in the case, and there th matter rests. t The steamer Harvest Queen arriv ed down yesterday morning in place of the Hassalo, and will continue! to do duty in this line till the regular liner gets back to work, which will be for some days to' come. ;The schooner W.

This decision, he states, is definite and ;tnal, and it looks now as if those who wished ,hun to run agan will have to turn elsewhere for a candidate.; Mayor Wise announced his deter mination to a few friends and today he will send a letter to each of the men who have, signed the petitions asking him to rim again stating the decision he has reached in the mat ter. While he does not give, any reason for declining to make the race again, it is probably true that, he does so because he feels that he can not afford to give the time and money to the office for another term. That Mayor Wise has spent much money directly and indirectly during the past two years, in indeavoring to up hold the dignity of the city and to advance 1 its welfare whenever he could? is known to many. While a considerable number of citizens seemed willing and anxious to amend the charter so that the Mayor would draw a salary sufficient to pay his expenses, yet no one took hold of the matter so as to properly get.it before the voters. The letter that will be sent to the signers of the petition reads as follows: 4 "Your name appears on one of the several petitions presented to me, asking me to be a candidate for re election as Mayor. "I have given the matter my care ful, consideration and have finally come to the conclusion that I cannot see my way clear to comply. "However, my efforts shall still be directed toward the advancement of Astoria, though in a commercial rather than in the political field. Plans are maturing for the establish ment of a wholesale jobbing house to supply the towns adjacent to As toria, which will bring monej; to this city heretofore sent to Portland, Seattle and San Francisco. The management of this enterprise will take all of my time and energy. "I therefore thank you most sin cerely for your expression of conli dence and good will, with the assur ance that whenever I look upon these petitions I shall gratefully remember you and all of my friends. "Hoping that you and yours may always be happy and prosperous. "Very faithfully yours, "HERMAN WISE." As indicated in the letter, Mayor Wise is preparing to join in on a plan to start a wholesale house here to supply the stores in the numerous small cities near Astoria. It is un derstood that the arrangements to do this, have been practically com pleted, and this, with his present business, will evidently give him all the work he can readily take care of. What effect Mayor Wise's refusal to run again will have on the mayor alty race can only' be conjectured. His action leaves only one announc ed candidate in the field, Mr. Berg-J man, and as he is stated to staid for policies that do not meet with favor from a numerous body of citizens it is highly probable that some other candidate, will be advanced. It is1 said to be probable that certain of the leading citizens will take the matter up for consideration. JUST IN AND JUST RIGHT Sweet Apple Cider 35c the Gallon AcmSGrocery Co.

It i further averred 'that Mr. McGuire's protest, is perhaps due to a misapprehension on his part, and' ,an examination of the matter tends to show that the assessment is.assssr? ment is not too high, but that As sessor Cornelius has assessed too much of the rolling stock. The company submitted a state ment to the assessor showing that the cost value of the rolling stock on the A. C, was $252,952, and be cause of depreciation in value from natural wear and tear that it is now worth $151,727. The company's roll ing' stock.and rails are in three counr ties." The law controlling such as sessments provides that each county shall assess rolling stock in the pro portion that the number of miles of trackage within the county bear to the number of miles of trackage the company has in the state. That is, that the rolling stock shall be assess ed in proportion to the amount of the company's mileage that is within the county. Mr. Cornelius, the county assessor, states that the assessment was made strictly in accordance with this statute. ft? The company has a total of ap proximately 100 n)iles 6f line in the state,' and of this total about 50 miles, or one-haV,, are within Clatsop coun ty, and .therefore the assessment should be one-half of the value of the "'foiling stock. Mr, "McGuire's es timate' of the value of the rolling stock is $151,722, and the assessment is for $70,125, or a, little less than one-half.

Filed Protest In yesterday mornings' mail May or Wise received a communication from John Riley remonstrating against the assessment on certain property. The remonstrance had evi dently been intended for presentation to the council at its meeting Monday night, but was mailed too late to reach it in time. Mr. Riley states that he objects to the assessment of lot 3, block 55, Shively's, and states that he would like to know why it is so much higher than the assessment on lot 2 on the' same side of the street and lot 3 on the opposite side of the street. After Their Brides- Three fine, hearty young Finns yesterday purchased transportation at the Twelfth street offices of the A. C. R. R, Co., for New York and Warsaw, Poland. They intend to leave New York on the Lusitania, on November 4th next, and are going back to Europe for their brides whom they will bring on to the homes they have established for them in old As toria.

His latest acquisition is a Russian terrier, which .for hideousity lays "Chops" his Alaskan- completely in the shade. The new dog is of dark blue,' long and unkempt hair, bright dark eys,' 'and ,a natural born 'scrapper," ITe is young, alert and ambitious and had a fight with every dog he met between the docks and WITH EACH 15 SALE TO

Many Register s v..tJ, All day yesterday there was a steady stream of voters going into the city auditor's office for the regis tering for the coming primary and municipal' election. It kept Judge Anderson and his assistant busy waiting on the men. Apparently there is already enough interest in the coming campaign to compel voters' to register early. The registration dooks ior tne national election closed last evening, at the office of the coun ty clerk. There was a rush there, too, yesterday, as many wished to register and had neglected to do so until the last minute. The registra tion books for the municipal election will remain open for a time longer and voters are urged to register as soon as possible.

Beach Thomas, contri buted to the English press an i-.w v.., wviiuvi b iku, u'3i.uvcry con cerning heredity in plant and animal life. 'The scientific world," he said, "is on the point of giving full recog nition to a new, strange and deep rooted law, and it is a satisfaction to know that in a few months some of the tnost striking, of its practical results will be published by a body of English scientists." Briefly," the law which seems to touch the ultimate mysteries of her edity, is this: When pure stock or strains are crossed, it is found that a certain list of qualities remain, so to speak, indestructible, and appear uncontaminated in a definite propor tion of the offspring of all genera tions after the first. Some concrete examples will best show the practical effect .of the law. When the tall variety of sweet pea and the short variety of sweet pca'are j-wi swcvi ptd are crossed the first generation are all tall, Talhiess is the dominant quality LAUNDRIES. 1 i i Vim... Jil over shortness;' which is called re- ccsnlve. But In the second generation t( '"""J tl" Just one-quarter are dwarf, and not only are they -dwarf, but thry will remain purs dwarf, without any reversion, snd when crossed with dwarf will never again I .1 ..I..-. .11..... Tl.. All... thrce-quarterg will be taJL'taiut 5f these tall egnln just one quarter will j be pure tall, and never again show signs of dwsrfness. The remaining two-quarters will be Impure,; but again when crossed with their like will give both pure tails, purs dwarf,1 and mongrels in due proportion. So that we find tn all grandchildren, so to speak of pure strains the propor- thtt j,( onc.qlmrter o( ,iee gran4. children will be exact or pure rcpro-' ductlon in one quality of their grand mother, one-quarter will be' pure re production of their grandfather, and twoquarlers, though memblinjf one grandparent, will have latent In them the qualities of both. November Technical World Magaxlnc. WONDERFUL AMERICAN HEN. The cackles of tjie American hens, are swelling Into a mighty ehorus. Sixteen billion times a. year these s small citizens announce the arrval of a "fresh laid," and the sound of their bragging is waxing loud in the land, According to the last, census, there are 233,598,005 chickens of laying age in the United States. These are valued at S70,0lXl,OOO, and the eggs they lay, would ,if divided, allow two hundred and three eggs annually to evtry person man, woman, and child-ln the United States. The value of all the fowls, $85,800,000 would entitle every person In the country to $1.12, if they were sold adn the products divided. All the weight of the animal products ex ported, the park, beef, tallow, ham. bacon and sausage, weigh 846,860 tons while the weight of the eggs laid yearly tips the scales at 970.363 tons.- From the American Hen Her Right To Crow, November Techni-' cal World Magasine.

Country .people, this scientist holds, need not fear an early ap proach of thi evolutionary change, since they are less fully supplied with self-working appliances. It is rather in the big cities, and particu larly in the large hotel, that he sees the near approach of a race hope lessly dependent being. When a man doesn't even have to open a door for hhmelf he hold that the automatic age has surely arrived. These observations on the part of the professorial reasoner were In spired by the installation in the Ho tel Astor of an electric motor which, by the mere pressing of a button, turns the doors without effort on the part of the person entering or leaving the hotel. On the other entrances for a good many years do not seem to be either alarmed or hand, New Yorkers, who have had to push heavy revolving door at hotel changed by the innovation. Mr. F. A. Muschcnheim, the manager of the Astor, is the Edison of hotel men, so far as the use of automatic device go, but he doesn't take any stock in the professor's alarm over the ill effects of the multiplication of self-operating machintry. "There will always be plenty of big thing to keep people busy in New York," he say, "and you can't blame them if they like to save trouble in dealing with small things in, every possible way, by the use of automatic device." The "Little Church Around the Corner," probably the most famous church in the country, has just pass ed its sixtieth birthday. Known in literature! and even in song, it is the one church in Amerca which hat a national reputation!' Few persons, however, know the origiri of the pop ular name,-or the correct name of this church. Its proper designation" is the Church of the Transfiguration. It jwas originally orgaijied by twen ty persons in 1848, and had its first home on Twenty-fourth Street, just west of Fifth Avenue. Today it has nineteen hundred communicants, and within (he last jen yean the "original pastor, Dr. Houghton, was succeed ed as vicar by his nephew, so" that the church has had men of the same name at' 'its pastors thnnuhout Its history, it was not until the early rentiesthat .the church attained the nickname by which it is :ttow generally known. On the day of the death of George Holland, the actor, his friend, Joseph Jefferson, now al; so dead, went to a certain church on Madison avenue to arrange for. Hol land's funeral. Prejudice against the stage was stronger then than it is now and the pastor refused, to read the funeral service over an ac tor. He told Jefferson, however, that there was a "little church around the corner" where the funeral might be conducted the Church of the Transfiguration. Holland's funeral took place there and .the incident spread broadcast. Ever since then this famous church has been known as the Little Church Around the Corner.": Many eloping members of the Four Hundred have been mar ried' there and most of the famous actors and actresses who have died within the past twenty-five years have been buried from its portals.

Kidder's mas terpiece drama, "A Poor Relation," which was presented at the Grand opera house by Lee Willard and his company. This wai the first per formance of the season and it was greeted by a good sized and highly pleased audience. This comedy drama was the great favorite of the cele brated actor, Sol Smith Russell, and Mr.: Willards' characterization of the, leading role, Noah Vale, certainly did credit to his much revered predeces sor. The cast of characters through out was the' best that the, theatrical market can afford and, judging from the number of curtain calls accord- ed the, leading characters, if Mr. Willard should live to favor a Salem audience with his appearance again, he will most ccrtainfy fill the house to overflowing Salem Statcman.

It is supposed that the officers and wardens of the state prison "are familiar enough with the history of the crimes for which its tenants are sent there, and there should have been official gumption enough on. tap to have thwarted the despatch of such a letter from such a source. A comparison of the address' es would have shown plainly that the two epistles were sent to differ ent people and suspicion,, under the charges on which Blunk was serving, should have done the rest. But it got through, and the matter has been placed in the hands of the prosecut ing department of the State for this county, and district, and if nothig can be done to sound and remedy the very apparent misconception of duty at the big penal establishment up at Salem, the matter will be placed before- his excellency, the Governor, and his colleagues of the penal commission.
