Amusement Matters.

Mr.. Edwin Thorne and his company repeated
the melodrama 'The Black Flag" at the Grand

ance and cheap prices served to draw out an
audience that filled the theater and INDUCED in

Mrs. Stumph Again Taken into Custody on
the Charge of Being Insane.

The question of Emma Stumph's unsound-
ness of mind is being tried by Judge Ayres and
jury. She is about sixty five years of age. and
three years ago her husband procured divorce.
year later commission OF lunacy found her
to be insane, but she was never sent to the asy-

she was not insane, but after that Stumph, who
had married again, had her arrested and
brought before Squire Smock, charging that she
was dangerously insane and ought not to be al

poor farm 20 await the action of the Circuit
Court Witnesses testified that she caused a
great deal of trouble and always carried a cane
which she threatened to use on her former hus
band and wife; that she threw stones in the
street. and yelled and screamed at everyone in
the neighborhood of Geser and East street, and
claimed to own the house in which Stumph

A Word About Seal Gaps.

We take it for granted that purchaser of a
seal cap is DESTROYS of knowing two things
First that the article is of a reliable character
and that the price charged is consistent with the
quality Of the goods. The papers are so full OF
saving chances Sacrifices" ''cut prices" and
'slaughters"-that the people have very little
faith in such announcements realizing fully
that store expenses have to be met with profits,
and that no merchant can give you something
for nothing unless some one else pays for it.
We would, therefore, simply say to the persons
contemplating the purchase of seal cap that we
have an excellent variety of firstclass goods and
will guarantee prices to be fully as low as
those OF other houses, the quality of goods being
equal Respectfully, Fl. BAMBERGER,

The Right to Sell by Samples.

The proposed ordinance relating to peddlers
and hucksters is receiving close examination
from councilmen. They want to be sure of their
position before taking final action. Yesterday
some were talking about it, when the question OF
whether selling at retail by samples came under
the head of peadling Mayor McMaster
said the question had been before him
on the arrest Of or two sellers OF
that description. They were charged with ped
ding without license. He discharged them be-
cause the Supreme Courts of Massachusetts and
other States did not regard seller by sample as

One of the several replevin cases brought by
Nathaniel K. Fairbanks, of Chicago, against
Charles Kreitlein was tried as far an the areu-

chase by the defendant of large quantity of
goods previous to his assignment The first

lies for verdict Kreitlein then won the suit
But Judge Walker permitted this testimony to be
offered. 1t was from grocers. called as expert
witnesses, on the question as to what they con-
Eidered to be reasonable purchases. Kretlein,
1t is alleged, bought at one time thirty five dog
en- mops, which, Rufus K. Sifer said. were thir
ty-two dozen too many for the defendants
trade. Other purchases were thought to be ex-
travagant and unreasonable such as 273 pounds
OF ground pepper. when seventy-three pounds
would have been sufficient; 1.200 cans Of cove
oysters in June. when not more than 200 should
have been bought The witness also said his
invoice Of coffee was 1900 pounds out of the

The dispatches of the morning bring
the news that Hon. John II. Mitchell has
been elected United States senator from
Oregon. 1t was a nasty fight his enemies
made against him, and il acted ike a
boomerang. Had the charges been true
AS to his domestic honor, Carrie Price
must have been "a daisy" to receive love
letters from her brother in-law and then
give them to the public. But that charge
and those against his personal and official
integrity are refuted by his constituents in
the Oregon legislature. Indeed, the fact
that Mitchell was a candidate was priud
fucie evidence of the untruth of the
charges in the first place, for no man
could have mustered courage enough to
be n candidate for senator il they had
been true. That Mitchell is Il brilliant
and energetic man no one denies, and all
unprecedented men will be glad of his vim

The advantages of a%lphabetic writing
are nowhere more conspicuously shown
than in a large printing Office. The
compositor stands within easy reach of
every character he may have need of,
and a boy can learn the position of each
in the case in a few hours. 1t is quite
another matter where each word has a
distinct character, as in China and
Japan. A correspondent, describing
the Office of a japanese paper, says that
a full font of japanese type comprises
1000 characters, of which 5000 are in
constant use. and for 2, 900 more there
are fire uent calls.
The type is distributed about the
composing room on racks, like those in
q reading-room. and the compositors
wander up and down the aisles, setting
type and taking exercise at once. With
80 many characters it is no wonder that
japanese proof-readers have to be men
of intelligence and high scholarship.
The impossibility of telegraphing single
character words has kept this great in
strument + civilization in foreign lands,
and made it practically useless for the
natives of China and Japan. To these
the telephone is an especial blessing
which they are not slow to appreciate.

The Churches of New York.
i"Gath's'' Ietter.I

The tendency of churches in New
York is to build up the social life which
is more needed on this island than a
new religious dispensation. Tho aver
age New Yorker has fewer family &C
quaintanoes than any other average
man in the country. lie is a business
animal who is spilled down town all
day and there engaged in the severest
pursuit of wealth, and when he comes
nome he has but little disposition for
social calls, unless they partake Of the
nature of the business OF the day. If
he is a nan of cultivation he will spend
his l.lae in his library or among his
paintings or coins, in his library or
follow up some especial branch OF
study.
His wife, therefore, and the growing
children lack for a sufficient social
world, and this is afforded to many OF
them by their church organizations.
Hence New York churches are social
colonies and not provocative schemes of
missions.

The municipal authorities of Paris have
under consideration a plan for supplying
railway communication to Montmartre.
The proposal is TO run up rope lines from
four points lying around the hill, in such
IL way that the rope towing a train up one
side of the hill will be wound up by the
same cylinder and same engine which
y off the rope of the train that de.
scends on the opposite side. This system
has been already successfully tried at
Lyons on the line which uns up to the
heights of CroiN. Rouse and Fouryieres,
and it is plain that q considerable saving
must be secured by employing a station
AIRY engine instead of locomotives. The
new lines when carried out will be u great
boon for the 100, 900 people who live on
and around Montmartre.
