don. After filing several engagements,
we left for New York, and to the aston
isbmen. Of oil, on our arrival, We found
what aftsrward proved 70 be Lotts'.
sutton awaiting Us. He then made
4 known his mission, and was in due tina
accepted By Lotss; bu. on the discoTe'
~ that he was veslthy man she broke
the engagement, she insisting that she
would no. marry any man who was
wealthy and titled member Of Eng
lish society while she WAS a poor actress
He pressed his suit at every opportunity
bu. with no success, and after spending
two years following Lo.ts from one
place to another. he was finally taken
sick in New Orleans. Lolita attended
him personally during the two months
he was sick. ~ the end OF which time
he died ii. is said. By many-broken-
hearted. Lotta killed and buried the
only man she ever loved. And when
she is filing engagements in the South
she never fails 10 visit the grave OF him
whose name, if mentioned to her, is .
signal of untold grief. This Is the cause
Of Lotta's sadness, and hers is such ma
turs tba. she will never recover from
it,"
The grading Of the block bounded by
California. Sacramento. Mason and
Taylor streets. on which the palaces OF
the bonanza Kings are TO be erected. is
finished. But owing, it is said. TO the
heavy losses sustained by the Nevada
Bank in the shrinkage Of stocks as we'll
as real estate, the building of the man
sions will not commence until next
spring. It WAS originally intended that
these buildings should surpsss ell pre-
vious efforts in the way Of family resi-
dences in the United States. The cost
OF Mr.. Floods when finished wa, to
have been 81, 800. 900. and that of Mr..
Fairs 81 900. 900. Whether the sudden
reversss in stock circles will not have q
initiating effect on tha architectural
plans remains to be seen. It 10 claimed
by those who ought to know. that the
bonanza firm has lost since last October
IS. 10000 by the huctuation Of the
stock market.
The Congressional labor committee.
commonly called tho Hard Times Com
mittee.' has arrived and commenced
their lsbors today. II. B. Wright, Of
Pennsylvania. is chairman. They are
directing their inquiry principally to
the Chinese question; and in order to
get. light on the subject. they requested
those interested to be present and give
testimony. Among those who were
anxious to tell ell be knew about the
Chinese was the Rev. Otis Gibson. His
evidence was lsudatory. in the extreme.
giving to the Chinese the credit Of be-
ing the standard of perfection in hui
msnity. 1t is said. so far as any practi-
cal results are concerned. that this COIN
mitttee will do little more than like
committee did in 1875. and that was to
20 back and report that Chinese labor
was more of benefit than an Injury
to the country. Portland wants them
to come up and investigate that iso-
lated. gloomy looking village; and let
me say to those fortlanders that they
need something more than an investiga-
ton, for when the writer visited that
aforesaid hamlet last April he noticed
that great deal If not ali Of the city
aud county work was done by coolies,
and now they have the presumption to
ask a committee to visit them. Bah
You are more in want of o coroner's
jury to sit on you. for you are slowly
but surely dying. If l can offer any
atonement to the readers Of the IN
TELLIdENCER for having so lar forgot
myself as to visit Portland, they hAv-.
but to suggest what it should be, and
as preliminary. l will promise never
to get any nearer to Portland than Sc
attic.
The Chronicle Of this morning at
tackled the Rev. Kalloch in q most vul.
gar. three column article; and while
that paper is condemned for using such
low. coarse and vulgar epithets. VIII ich
are not tit to be seen in public print,
but little sympathy is bestowed on the
Rev. acrobate. That paper offers no
apology as justification for using such
language. The article referred to
will not appear in the weekly. - it was
intended to affect Kalloch locally.
