OBITUARY.


INC DUCnCsS Oh SeIAesSs
A cable telegram from London, under date Of
the I'd instant, announces the death OF the
Duchess of Inverness, lady who was at one
period OF her life quite an attractive star In
the very highest circles OF English aristocratic
society. Cecilia Letitia Underwood. Duchess OF
Inverness, was the eldest surviving daughter OF
the second Earl OF Arran. She was born about
the year 1885, but the exact date OF her
entry to this sublunary sphere is not known.
Her age was stated, some time since, vartously
at eighty-nve and lightweight years. She
was married on the l4th OF April In the
year 1915, to Sir George Buggn who died on the
% OF April in the year 1928 The widow, Lady
Buggln, soon afterwards contracted marriage
with his late Royal Highness the Duke OF Sussex,
uncle to Queen Victoria. She had previously re-
sumed by royal English license the name OF Under
wood, the maiden name of her mother. Her mar;
riage with the Duke OF Sussex was not recognized
by law In Great Britain, although acknowledged to
be sufficiently binding for conscience and in the
Church. She was elevated to the peerage as
Duchess of Inverness-one OF the many. titles
borne by the Duke OF SusseX-on the 10th OF April
IN the year 1910. The Duke was noted for his
charity, good fellowship and philanthropy, and in
this his pursuit OF good works. he was at all tunes
warmly seconded by the Duchess OF Inverness, Lady
Underwood, now deceased.

A Later Despatch.

PORTLAND, oregon, August 2-Noon.
The fire Is fully under control. Twenty'three
blocks are total ruin. The fire originated In the
store Of Hurgren Schindley, In which no fire or
light was used, and was undoubtedly the work OF
an incendiary. The st. CHARLES Hotel, the largest
building in the city, and two stores are the only
buildings saved on Front street. The St. Charles
Hotel is damaged to the extent OF $4,000
Walkers sash and door factory Is destroyed; loss,
$4,000 The Oregon Iron Works were on fire five
times.
ONLY ONE HOUSE STANDS
on FIRST street, in space Of eight blocks. The
east side of Second street is gone for nine squares
One fireman had a leg broken and several were
otherwise injured during the fire.
second fire was set to house on the corner Of
Third and Taylor streets, but extnguished, and
the lncendiary caught.
THE SALEM FIRE DEPARTMENT
arrived by train, which made the run of ffty-one
miles in the extraordinary time Of sxty-nine
minutes including stoppages. The steamboat
bringing the Vancouver Fire Department made
eighteen miles In seventyfve minutes.
The loss by the fire extends into the millions.

Latest Particulars.

PORTLAND OREGON, August 2-3 p. M
The IRE commenced at twenty minutes past four,
and spread over an entire block before the
steam fire engine was applied, and the
Metropolitan Hotel was burned to the
ground. Soon after the fire broke out
the wind rose and caused 1t to
spread in all directions, so that when the Salem
Fire Department arrived seven blocks hat been
consumed. They stopped the farther progress Of
the fire northward. But when all available as
sistance had arrived there were only seven
engines to subdue fire half q mile In
length and quarter Of mile in width.
AS fast as it was suppressed in one direction it
broke out in another while new fires, supposed to
be the work Of incendiaries were continually
being discovered. The fire only ceased for want Of
material.
Among the losses are two engine houses, two
sash factories, three foandries, four mills. i've
hotels 100 stores and $50 dwellings. One hundred
and fifty homeless families are now encamped in
the public PARKS The loss is estimated at
$1,5oo,ooo, on which there was an insurance OF
100000.

once that there is morbid taste in the society
which encourages the vicious drama. The evil
is not confined to the play, but what is bad in
the play when society encourages it, degrades
both the drama and society. There is no
dramatic progress, no social growth in this
cooperation of two evil forces, and
what is worse, it does little good to cry
out against the wicked thing. The only way
to meet and overcome what is vicious in art is
to recognize and encourage everything that
is good. Artistic growth is the appreciation
of artistic worth and truth and beauty and
goodness When plays healthful in tone sue
coed the immoral drama sinks into the lap of
death, and every community can drive i'm
moral plays from the local stage by making
pure and hearty comedy bring more certain
reward to the manager. We need q little
more of this spirit in New York to make our
dramatic stage as worthy in morals as in art
but it is only dramatic jeremiah who can
bewail the present epoch as worse than the
others which preceded it If immortality
enters into some of our representations it is at
least finer in form and texture than in the
past AS we grow in fneness of appreciation,
of which the last decade gives such brilliant
promise. the evil will be gradually extirpated.
1t follows, then, that we must constantly look
to and promote artistic growth. Especially is
this the case in regard to music. A mistaken
policy has frequently, it is true, made hearty
encouragement impossible In Italian opera
expectations were lightly raised when il was
certain from the beginning that the too bril-
liant promises could not be kept Such a
course will not be tolerated by the pub
lie at the present time. The annual
visits of Americans to Europe enable
opera goers to become acquainted with
the proper management of the lyric drama,
and to repudiate the makeshifts of bygone
age. Therefore we advise the managers to
prepare in time for the fulflment of the
promises they hold out to subscribers. If
they deal fairly with the public there will be a
corresponding response and financial as well
as artistic success, as was notably
the case with the Nilsson season two
years ago. This like the cooperation
of the evil forces in society and art is the
working together Of opposite forces for good,
and, by its mutual practice, the next ten years
will be made even more remarkable for
artistic progress than is the decade Just
ended

A BAD SIaN.-It is said that the inscription
"for SALE" or "for rent is posted on more
than six thousand houses and stores in New
Orleans. The people of New Orleans and of
Louisiana have been too busy for the last
seven or eight years with their party politics
and their quarrels and fights over the public
plumber to pay much attention to any other
business. The consequence is this extraor-

the commercial metropolis of the State.

TELEGRAM TO the new YORK HERALD.

MATAMORos, August 2, 1873.
The Voz Pablc1 denies the rumor In the Amert-
can papers that General EscobedO, with the Fourth
Division OF the Mexican army, had been ordered
to the Rio Grande, and says that General Escobedo
is on his estate near San Luis Potosi and
that the Fourth Division Of the army Is
stationed at different and remote parts Of the Re-
public on active duty. The report, although stated
to have emanated from the headquarters Of the
Department of Texas and which first appeared II
the San Antonio papers, Is groundless.
