Camilla UrSO.

Last Tuesday evening the Steamer
Vancouver carried a number of our
citizens to Portland to attend the last
of Madame Camilla Ursc's grand con-
certs at New Market Theatre. The
little steamer without any way landings,
made the trip in much less time than
usual, and the party arrived in time to
get comfortably located in their seats
before the rush. At eight o'clock the
curtain rose and Miss Wandesforde,
and Messrs. Pilueger and Yarndley ap.
peared and sang "rhrough the world
wilt thou fy,', from the Bohemian
Girl.) Next followed IA piano solo
Tarantella, by Mr.. Auguste Sauret,
which received hearty encore from
the appreclative audience. Mr.. Yar"dly
next sang ''The Maid Of JUDAH" after
which Madame Camilla Urso arrayed
most gorgeously in silks and satins and
glittering with diamonds, advanced in
her digni6ed way to the foot lights and
posing her bow in the air for moment
began in strains the most delicate and
beautiful, the ''Fantaise Caprice" OF
Vieuxtemps. Instantly quiet reigned
in the whole auditorium, and she fairly
entranced her audience as she proceed
to those may heights of musical excel
lence which her skill so wonderfully
commands. A perfect storm of applause
followed the performance and did not
subside until she appeared and played
again. "Call me thine own" Couplets
from L'Eclair, was next rendered by
Miss Ivy Wandestorde. She has
finely cultivated voice, which is clear
and sweet and her singing was enthus
astically received by the audience.
Charles Pflueger sang "Summer Night"
and "Song of the Position of Longe-
anmean," the latter in German. After
another piano solo by Mr.. Sauret, Cam
lila Urso appeared and rendered Pagan
minis masterpiece "The Carnival of
Venice" In response to the loud en-
core she played the Last Rose of
Summer The performance concluded
with grand scene from "lll Trovatore"
in which Miss Wandesforde did some
fine acting as well as singing. AT the
conclusion of the performance and after
visit to that favorite resort Alisky &
Hegele's, the Vancouver people left for
home, where they arrived at IL o'clock
amply repaid for their trip.

The Society Of Amana.

An obscure communistic society,
called Amana, occupies q tract of fertile
land near iowa City, and has 1 1924 mem
bers. There are seven villages, and In
each a boarding house sufficient to &C.
commodate the population of the vii.
lage. To these all the people go to get
their meals, the hour for which is given
by bell from a central tower. There
are also laundries, where oil washing
and ironing are done so that no house
keeping really is done in the families,
which leaves the members to other de-
partments of labor, and every member
Of the society has something to do.
Once in every year the executive officers
make an annuity apportionment to each
family or single individual, which is to
befor use for that year for personal OK
penses. There is in every village a
store, in which all kinds of goods are
kept, and which are delivered to mem
bers of the eooicty without profit; a
record Of e,lch persons purchases is
kept, and at the end Of the year the
amount is deducted from the annuity, SC
that very little money is used. If O
member withdraws from the society,
what he put in is returned, without in
terest or increase. If q member dies,
andis the head of family. his share or
interest in the society is divided among
his legal heirs, and placed to their credit
on the books of the society. There are
three physicians, whose duty it is to
visit the sick. Their medicines and
teams are supplied by the society. So,
also. schools are maintained.

A Moth ExternlinatOr Wanted.

Miss Grundy has returned to Wash:
ington and says: "The residence OF
ex-senator Stewart, of Nevada, generally
known as Castle Stewart has been
rented, I hear. for $4,000 for the
session. This is startling reduction,
as the price per annum wasfxed at $18,
900 heretofore. It was reduced proba-
bly, because the superb furniture, cur.
tains and carpets have all been ruined
by moths during the two years it has
been without tenant. The upholstery
was very costly and elegant. The richly
embroidered satin which covered the
chairs, sofas, etc., in the parlors, as we'll
as the Gobelin tapestry curtains. was
purchased at the last Paris exposition,
and brought here to be made up. l do
not think moth ever cut silk or satin,
but NIL the materials containing wool in
the house, including the Gobelin tapes
try, which draped many of the windows
of the parlor floor, have been seriously,
if no irreparably, injured. Ex-senator
Stewart, has occasionally iliyed there
since his family went to California, but
only as lodger, and the rooms have not
been opened and aired properly, other
wise the moths might have been sub
dued, though they are always more
difficult to exterminate here than IN any
other place with which am acquainted.

Bancroft. the Historian.

George Bancroft has the reputation Of
being one of the most thoroughly edu-
Gated of living Americans. When he
was student at Gottingen, he learned
the Oriental languages from Eichborn,
ancient history from Planck and Heeren,
natural history from Blumenbach, and
Greek and Roman antiquities from
Diszen. He afterwards heard the lee
lures of Wolf, the famous Homerist,
Hegel and Schleiermacher, He has been
intimate with Humboldt, Varnhagen Won
Ense, Cousin, Schlossel, Goethe, Benja'
min Constant, Manzoni, Chevalier Bun
sen, Niebuhr, and host of t'ead celebri-
ties. One of the things Of his youth was
a small volume of poems, enthusiast
cally describing the scenery of Switzer'
land and the ruins of Rome. He pub
lished the first volume of his 8. History
of the United States" forty three years
ago, and the work is yet unfinished. He
is still at work on it, and hopes to live
to complete it, and he probably will, as
he is OF robust constitution and in ex.
cellent health, and was seventy-seven or
October3. Those who know him regard
him as one Of the youngest old men o.
their acquaintance.

The DIscoyercr of the Moons of Mars.

Prof. Asaph Hall, the discoverer OF the
moons of Mars, began life, 1t Is SAID, as
carpenter and with meagre educatlon.
He married O school mistress, and 1t was
this wise lady who induced him to study
higher mathematics, and who herseu
became his instructor. He rapidly sur
passed his gentle teacher, and at twenty,
five became an assistant in Harvard
Observatory. Shortly after the astroll-
onomical activity Of the Naval Observa-
tory at Washington was revived, III looi,
a number of professors of the navy we're
appointed, and Hall was given aposluo11
as assistant. In 1863 he was promoted
to be professor. There he has renamed
ever since, heartily appreciated by MS
associates. It was on the night OF Aug
ust II that he first saw Mars attendants.
Between the 18th and the 10th, wien
the weather was uufavorablc for success,
full observations, he both hoped ana
feared, but his wife, to whom alone ne
communicated his discovery, was enthu-
siastic and confident. While impatlently
waiting to confirm his discovery, ms
generous disposition almost induced him
to communicate his chances OF success
to his associates, so that all could share
the honor but the thought OF his many
years of labor without any luck, con-
vinced him that it would be toollsh 10

the advertisements of the business men.
They will print cards, bill-heads, .circu-

they have supplied the wants OF town

even work their way up to Oregon, or
down to Arizona, but what they now
think of doing is to establish circuit OF
good towns for their business and visit
them several times in the course of a

to make it success as all three are good

An Heroic Old Soldier.

There was a private soldier named
Gardieff who won fame and death in an
heroic manner, writes war correspon-
dent in m account of a recent engage
ment in the Eastern war. He was an
old soldier, but had, not long ago, fallen
into disgrace. He had received severe
punishment for disorderly conduct, and
on being permitted to resume his place
in the ranks, the commander of his
squadron had said to him: Garaicff,
you had better get yourself killed. or 10
something now that will make us forget
your past follies. The brave fellow was
seen to dash wildly into the fight; slash
ing right and left, he killed with his own
hand four of the Turks within five min
utes, when he was surrounded and liter
ally hewn and hacked to pieces. 1t was
the intention of his regiment to give the
body ceremonial burial on the follow

from being carried ont, and brnv" GAR

Adrianople Described.

Adrianople is about one hundred and
thirty-five miles from Constantinople.
It is about five miles in circumference,
surrounded by old walls and defended
by citadel. Its streets are narrow and
circular, but adorned with fountains and
mosques, of which there are about forty.
1T was taken by the Turks from the
Greek emperors in 1862, ard made the
seat of their empire, which it continued
to remain for great many years. 1t
possesses manufactures OF silk, wooden,
and cotton stufs. Rose-water and other
perfumes are made here, while the dye
ing and tanning establishments have
quite worldwide fame. Its exports are
wool, opium (for the poppies here are
the finest in the world), leather, honey
and wax. The population is about lOO,-
900, of which oDe.third is Greek. 1t ls
here that the Turkish difficulty lies.
The Greeks are to o man with Russia,
and in event of the civil war which has
broken ont in sub-Balkan Bulgaria
reaching Adrianople, one-third OF Adrl-
anople may, sword i'll hand, welcome the
Russians. The bazaar and the mosque
at Selim are the great attractions at
Adrianople. The former is a building
about two hundred yards long, and offers
for sale oil the rich commodities OF the
East. The mosque is built like a theatre,
and from the ruins of Famagusta, IN
Cyprus. It's principal balcony has an N
ascent of BIT steps. Adrianople was, it
need not be said, one of the great classic
cities of ancient Rome, and it figures
frequently in Gibbons decline and
Fall of the Roman Empire. 1t re-
mained practically the nearest approach
to an old Roman city until it fell under
the Turkish power in 1860. It renamed
the favorite residence for the sultans
until the last century. Adrianople once

Greek struggle for independence and
freedom from the thrall OF the TURKS.
In that year the city was taken by the
Russians, who had overrun Turkey thus

Greatness in q HOyel.

A war correspondent says: Gorny
Studen isl wretched village OF few
hundred inhabitants. the Turkish quar-
ter being on one hill and the Bulgarian
on the opposite height. The former is
deserted by its proprietors and the
houses have been unroofed by soldiers
to get at the wooden rafters, fuel being
scarce in northern Bulgaria. The only
building remaining in this part Of the
village is occupied by the emperor of all
the Russias. It is built of unburnt clay
bricks, and it's low roof covered with
rough tiles. Here in this hovel tho auto

awaiting news from his various armies in
the field. There is no pomp surround
ing this humble imperial residence; two

THE DOWNWARD ROAD.

It was flushed, angry face that looked
up, and harsh tones that said:
II don't care what people say, father !;
I suppose I am old enough to Judge for
myself"
"It's no bad thing, Gavin, to mind
what ither folks say about you. When
you really get to Il don't care You
are in bad way. I hope for all you

"Then it's name O my money I'll

And oil Bailie Irwin took ont lis ban

"But, father, he is such a bigoted,

"You've been lang finding it out,

"Father, Jessie Grief is angel"
"I wish she was. It's no an i'll

Gavin Irwin had been two years in
Duncan Forbes house and Office, and
not felt his strict rules and old-fashioned
ways particularly unbearable.
But few weeks ago pretty villa be-
longing to the barony of Grief had been
occupied as summer residence by the
gay Miss Grief and her aunt, and Miss
Jessie has chosen to enliven the mon
otony of her retirement by paying great
deal OF attention to the handsome Gavin
Irwin.
Jesse Grief was one Of a type of young
ladies peculiar to the last half century,
and, nnhappily, increasing "a fast,
