THE CORONATION.
Extraordinary Precautions at Mos
cow for the Event.
Streets Lined With Armed SoIdiery,
and Lynx'eyed Spies Busy Every
where-PoIce to Watch
Police.

Moscow. May l7.-Such extreme military
and police precautions were probably
never seen or dreamed Of as those already
taken-more than fortnight before the
coronation. The vast number OF police
agents poured into the city is sufficient to
noticeably increase the population, large
as the city is, and they swarm among the
most diverse classes Of people, among
the laboring element, in every
rank of society in every profession, in
every trade and in every department of the
Civil Service, police officials themselves
being also spied upon. No less than 400
special police have been enrolled in the
classes Of hack and cab drivers. The 8.
TEN of close inspection adopted never ex'
isted in a captured city under siege. The
cellars and roofs OF all the houses along the
entire line Of the professions march are
Diligently Searched
in detail every morning and every evening.
A careful examination OF all the occupants
of houses on the line has been made no
less than three times. No visitor is ad
mitted to any hotel or lodging-house after
ii o'clock on any pretense, and no evening
visitor at such places can remain after
o'clock.
These and other equally stringent and
annoying rules are arbitrarily enforced.
Several hundreds of persons who are mis-
trusted By the police have been notified TO
quit both st. Petersburg and Moscow, and
not to return until after the conclusion OF
the coronation ceremonies. A great many
families OF reputable position have also
left Moscow, fearing some untoward event
would happen during the festivities, and
not knowing of whom the police would
endeavor to fasten guilt.
An Atmosphere of Fear
and suspicion covers the city; but the peo.
PIE can scarcely define their fear, and
many persons believe that the ceremonies,
instead of being accompanied by disaster,
may be the beginning OF an era Of better
feeling and lessened agitation.
Spacious stands and galleries have been
erected along the route, but ii is almost i'm.
possible TO secure cards Of admission, aud
they can be had only on the strongest in
dorsement and the production Of the best
credentials. Windows and rooms OF the
principal buildings passed BY the process
sion will be occupied only by guard OFF,
GERS, officials of tried integrity and secret
police agents. The way of the procession
will he hedged on both sides with double
rows of armed guards, and no spectator
will at any time be allowed TO change bis
place for any purpose. The depots are gar
risoned with military and police, and when
tie royal party advances, it Will be SIR
rounded by a wall Of moving clyalrymeu
and mounted officers.

Whirled Into Eternity.

ClScIyyArG, May 1.-THE foolhardiness
of attempting to handle shafting while in
motion was exemplified again yesterday,
and another life paid the penalty OF such
proceeding, at the billiard. table msnufac-
tory of the Brunswick 4 Bake Company,
on West Sixth street, few doors from
Main. The victim was John Henzler, an
old man, nearly sixty years OF age, who
has teen in the employ OF the firm for
only two or three weeks. He was MILL
wright, and was engaged in liking some
machinery in the basement when his
clothes we're caught in the belt.
Then follows the old story. Every stitch
upon him was torn off as the wheels con-

The Sample Copy FieEd.

Recently IT seems to Us as though q
large number of people throughout this
country have nothing to do but to write
postal cards to newspaper publishers, ask
ing for a sample copy of their paper.
This is new and growing industry. Bill
Nye expresses the sentiments of good
many long suffering men where he saws:
1t costs only one cent to get sample copy,
and at that rate the average bore of this
denomination expects to get 8 weekly
one year for % cents. Of course the sam
pie copy free lunch fiend has to write
each week and sign a different name, but
that don't injure his feelings any. He
has nothing else to do, and 1t keeps him
from ennui. Perhaps these people think
we are publishing paper just to wear out
our young life; but that Is where they
fall into common error. We are try
ing TO acquire competence, so that we
can carry a summer cane with our mono
gram on it, and that Is why we ask for
things sometimes when it seems unlady-
like and eccentric.
The man who gets literature by spong-
ing sample copies IS generally a man
who obtains a precarious livelihood by
posing as an artists model of a wild eye
snide. People who enclose stamps will
be waited upon just as soon as the mail
ing brigade can catch up a little; but
those who enclose a chunk of tafIy in a
postal card and look for this priceless re-
positOry of electrotyped brain, will anx-
iously watch through the gloaming till a
late hour-but viii wait in vain.

browning OF Id. Patterson.

The sad tidings were received at this
place last Saturday night, saws tine Oys-
terville Journal. that I'd. X. Patterson,
familiarly known as Uncle Ed" had
been drowned. II seems that Ed. Was on
his way TO South Bend with Fred Lobart,
in a sloop, and when OF Bay Center, Bo-
bart went ashore with lady, leaving the
deceased alone in the boat. On return
ing a short time after, Patterson could
not be found, and q search ashore failed
TO reveal his whereabouts. On going TO
the boat a second time, however, his
body was seen a short distance away, and
life found to be extinct. He was taken
ashore, and as soon as possible
placed aboard of the FdUOr-
ite and brought to this place.
arriving Sunday evening. The funeral
took place on Monday, and was numer-
ously attended ty people from all parts
of the county. The exact cause of his
drowning is a matter of considerable
speculation, but the general supposition
is that he lost his balance and fell over
backward, and having on heavy over
coat was pOwerless 10 save himself. Mr..
Patterson came to this coast in an early
day. and quite a number of years ago to
this county, whore he has followed his
trade to some extent, that of shipbuild-
ing. Among other vessels, the schooner
SdilOF Boy and South Bend were among
his work.

They Broke the Jugs.

Despite the stormy evening the
pleasant little II. L. church was COM
fortably filed last evening, the occasion
being a unique entertainment known as
breaking the jugs" For some weeks
past the NJ. E. Sunday school children
have put their spare dimes and nickels
into little earthern jugs, and last evening
they were broken and the money
counted. The exercises opened
by the choir singing Holy Spirit

panying on the organ. after which
Scott Bozorth read Order Up the Cart
ridges" "Wos to them who love the wine
cup" was then sung by the choir, followed
by a recitation. Alcohol and Tobacco"
by I. B. Elberson. Some of the jugs
were then broken, the result being as fol-

Nick built" after which Cordie Robb
told "How Jamie came HOme," and
Edith Conn in her inimitable style re-
cited PITY the Drunkard." The enter
tainment closed with the singing of the
Doxology. The receipts of the evening
amounted TO $50. This is the first enter
tainment OF the kind ever given in Asto-
ria. The proceeds viii be devoted TO
supplying a handsome Christmas tree for
the Sunday school.

Another View OF II.

Elsewhere in a condensed telegram is
given Wizards version of his reasons for
resigning. Perhaps the following from
a recent New York Sun may not at this
iunoture prove wholly uninteresting:
''The uneasy feeling in Wall street con-
tinues to increase, and business grows
more and more dull. The averaGs .daily
transactions were again on the decrease
last week. and although the general tone
of the market looked steady, several
specialties were very roughly handled.
The Willard stocks, the Union Pacific, and
the Northwestern were conspicuous
among them. The two last-named stocks
had special reasons for showing a de-
cline, and IN the case of the Northwestern
at least the fall Is only temporary. But
the Willard stocks merely resumed their
natural downward course, which was
slackened for a moment by the issue of
the new mortgage. Now that the bonds
are taken up by the creditors of that Ill
fsted concern, the stock held by them up
till now must be sold, and last weeks
drop in the price will probably 60 on with

An 0REGoS Town RAIDED.-Says the
Boise StotenldR: From a gentleman who
came up from Caldwell yesterday, we
learn that telegram reached that place
stating that on Sunday afternoon a band
of men-number not giyen-took pos
session of the town of Huntington on
Burnt river, Oregon, the point of juno
ton of the y. 5. l.. and the .. X.
d y. railways, and committed several
robberies of large amounts of money.
Among the rest il is stated that MIR. j. L.
Fyfer, a merchant doing business at
Huntington, was robbed of $4,000 In
money, checks and drafts. The pay
master of the grading and construction
forces of the railroad company is also re-
ported for q large amount. kilograms
of seventy-five words were promptly sent
to all the stations along the lire de-
scribing the robbers and ordering the
stoppage of payment of time checks.
Intense excitement prevailed at Caldwell,
and the confusion was too great to allow
more definite information to be gained.
This occurrence should be a timely warn
ing against like raids here and in other
quarters

WISER IAKE.-A correspondent of q
Seattle paper says: The story of Wiser
lake comes to my mind to-day. as told by
one of the old settlers, and it may be of
interest TO some of your readers who
know the lake, but have not heard why it
is called Wiser: Several years ago John
Wiser, who lived IN Oregon, came up the
Nooksack to make a home for himself
and his large family of children. When
he reached the neighborhood he heard of
the lake, and after beholding the beau
ties of mountain and water and admir-
ing them, determined TO make a settle
ment, which he did, being the first settler
on the lake, miles from neighbors, and in
the midst of great forest. For months
he labored alone among the trees, clear
ing several acres, building a good log
house, and planting out an orchard and
fruit beds. A good workman was Wiser,
and had prepared comfortable home
for his family when he re-
turned for them TO Oregon.
And it was a lovely plar Or II miles
away rose the dark footh4iis, like huge
fortress protecting old snowy Mt. Baker
TO the east, the Three Brothers southeast,
and the British range to the northeast,
all of which was mirrored in the bosom
of the lake, but quarter of mile from
Wiser's cabin. He returned to Oregon,
and without sending in an abandonment
Of his homestead in old Whatcom, took
up claim there six feet by three in size,
on which il will take him an eternity to
prove up. John Wiser's wife soon fol-
lowed him to his eternal homestead, and
his children were all scattered among the
families of his Mosaic brethrtn, with
out seeing their new home ON the lake,
and that is why ] think this little gem
should bear the name of its pioneer.

PUEcHAsED.-Yesterday, says the Salem
Statesman of Monday, Ex-Governor Chad
wick went TO Roseburg TO draw up the
last papers in the sale Of the land grant
of the Coos Bay Wagon Road company
TO the Coos Bay II. II. Co. The price
paid was about $4,000. The new COM
pany now owns 100000 acres of land, and
lars in all. This, it seems, is quite
enough TO insure the building of the road
from Roseburg to Coos bay. In case il
is built, the people whom il will effect
will no doubt have the kindest regard
for Gov. Chadwick, who has succeeded in
getting capitalists interested in the road.
