JUDGE Greene will adjourn court at
New Tacoma for three weeks after COM
pleting trial of Conway, 1st mate of the
Challenger, in order to hold court at
LaCcnner. In January the Challenger
ases will be completed.
AT the Maison Dore You get Sunday
dinners that would do credit to Del
monico. We've "been there" and know
what the definition Of eptcare means.
If you don't think so just try it for
yourself.
The NJ. E. church services yesterday,
morning and evening, were well attended.
Beta sermons were devoted to the con-
sideration of popular amusements-in
the morning, to dancing, card and bill
lard playing, etc; in the evening, dane
ing. The exposition OF Bible doctrine
would have done credit to any pulpit on
the coast. Both sermons were directed
more especially to professed Christians.
YES, he was somewhat surprised. He
had called with a huge roll of manu-
script, and asked the editor to aid him
in deciphering some illegible handwrit-
ing. The editor called his able COM
positor and told him to 'help this man
out" The a. C. kicked the caller out of
loors andslammed him against
wheelbarrow. Surprise is mild word to
describe his feelings.
OUR ScHooL.-At the opening Of the
present term of school the directors de-
cided to exclude all pupils who were
nor-residents of the district, Since then
so many urgent applications have been
received that directors have decided to
procure additional seats and make room
for a few more. We learn that after the
holidays pupils will be admitted from
abroad as heretofore.
WE have a miniture sazerac club in
Port Townsend. At its last executive
session the president gravely informed
his hearers that barrels Of lime were
loaded on the Emma Hayward at the
San Juan kiln by means OF chute
which was set at the proper angle so
that the barrel would strike the water
and the rebound would send it up on
the steamer deck. Mr.. McCurdy, pro-
prietor of the kiln, says it amt so; that
has a good wharf. Some members Of
the club are inclined to doubt the state
ment themselves.
REMARKABLE.--Among the money
found on the body of the late George
Curtis were: / note of the 1st National
Bank of Omaha, U. S. Treasury notes,
| National Bank note of South Reading,
and Bank of British Columbia notes
of Victoria. They had been submerged
in salt water from Nov. 2d to Dec. 9th,
yet when dried they were found to be
uniniured except that little tin rust
attached to some that had been enclosed
in tin box. A silver Scent piece was
80 badly stained as to be hardly recog-
nizable.
We desire to call the especial atten-
ton Of our lady readers to the advertise
ment found in another column headed
"Pleasant and Profitable Work for Wo-
men" Never was such an opportunity Of
fered to some energetic lady to acquire n
good income so easily. We have it on good
authority that lady canvassers east of
the Rocky Mountains are making $75 to
800 per month selling "Practical
Housekeeping" and manners that
VIM" The books come endorsed by
such eminent women as Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Mrs. Livermore, and many
Others. We trust that some intelligent
and energetic lady among our many
readers will take advantage of the oppor-
tunity and secure the agency for this
territory. 1t is surely worth trying for.
SOME complaint is being made because
the o. II. 4 N. Go. send mail carrying
steamer to San Juan for lime at this
season of the year when delays on ac-
count Of bad weather are so common.
Disarranging the schedule time of mail
steamers causes lots OF bother and
disappointment to the public.
