Among the anti Chinese agitators
indicted at Tacoma were the Mayor

the Probate Judge of the county,
three newspaper editors. the Secre-

several merchants and number of
old soldiers of the Grand Army of

the work they we've engaged in, or

Oregonian and a few of the Eastern

Bargains at Weisbein's.

Attention is called to a change in the
advertising columns. Mr.. Weisbein an
nounces really startling bargains which
should benefit every housekeeper. he
possesses pluck and push, and is deter
mined to lead in low prices; the qualities
of his goods are warranted by him equal
to high priced goods. Such are his in
ducements, and he claims that owing to
the thriving business he is doing it Is a
proof of the sincerity Of his statements.
People usually mistrust low prices and
bargain figures, as often they have been
used to deceive, but ii is not always good
policy TO judge everybody alike. Mer-
chants do not at all times assign the rea-
son for their sacrifices; often it is for the
purpose of gaining a point or so. even by
temporarily losing some money. How
ever, may this be as it will, one thing is
certain: Seeing is believing; therefore 20

NOT A oAsE OF usURY.
Pleading Excess OF the Legal Rate OF
Interest for Payment.

Pleading Excess OF the Legal Rate OF
Interest for NOn-Payment.
Little Louisa Achey, a 13-year-old Ohio
girl, was the plaintiff in an important suit
before Judge Speer in the United States
Circuit Court yesterday. In 1881 Eliza
beth n. Savage and others of the family,
who live in Augusta, entered into nego-
tiations with Nelson Barker, an Atlanta
broker, to obtain loan of four or five
thousand dollars. Through Mr.. Barker
notes for S., 900 at per cent. interest Tor
five years were forwarded to Mrs. Achev
at Dayton, Ohio. Her little daughter had
some money TO invest, and $1,000 of her
money was sent to q. W. Munnerlyn, to
whom the Savages had given unreserved
power OF attorney.
He had agreed to pay Mr.. Barker $500
commission, which was done. The first
years interest, $500, was due Dec. 10
1882, and was promptly paid. Since 1882
the interest has not been paid. When
steps were taken to enforce payment the
Savages set up the plea of forfeiture on
the ground Of usury. In their defense in
court yesterday the additional plea was
made by the defendants that they never
received any Of the money. The legal
| rate of interest being per cent. the de-
/ PENDANTS claimed that the $500 which Mr..
! Barker received was An usuriOus charge.
Barker testified that he did not act as the
agent OF the Ohio parties, and that they
did not receive any part of the $500 which
was the commission paid him by Mum
nerlyn. The latter testified that he did
/ not understand Barker to be the agent of
! the Acheys, and he stated that he lost all
Of the money specializing in railroad
| stocks.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of the
/ plaintiff for $1,000 principal. $1,293 in
/ terest, $500 attorneys fees, and all COSTS
| The plaintiff was represented by Messrs
| Mynatt & Howell, of Atlanta, and the
/ defendants by Mr.. Miller, of Augusta.
/ Mr.. Barker stated that the case was
| test one, aud has been watched with
much interest by capitalists outside Of

A Forgotten Tract of Government LanG
on the st. Mary's River.

A Forgotten Tract OF Government land
on the st. Mary's River.
Within the last week the Federal gov
eminent has been making some inquiries
about tract of land in the extreme south
eastern part OF the State.
The tract, which contains 700 acres,
was purchased BY the government in 1915,
about the close Of the war with England
The land lies on the north side OF the st.
Mary's river, near its mouth.
Yesterday Lieut.. Carter returned from
the place, where be went to examine the
ground, and see about the title. 1t seems
that the deed was never recorded in the
county records, but was sent TO Wash
ington Immediately after the purchase,
and has been there ever since.
The ground was used during the war
with Mexico, and few traces of earth
works still remain. The tract has been
neglected so long that the people in the
neighborhOod forgot the circumstance Of
It's purchase by the government At Diff
ferent times squatters have settled on the
tract and it was pre-empted. There is no
one living on the land now, but the title
to it is held by individuals. The tract is
not very valuable, but is held by the gov
eminent like many other spots along the
coast.

The play is farcical ex-
travaganza. In Charleston it was pro-

critic, writing of the play, says; ''In
spite OF the confusion of ideas that doubt
less exists as to what the plot OF the piece
is, If 1t can be said to nave any, the incl
dents are so exceedingly laughable that
none could find time TO attempt to ana
lyze the play. 1t is given with a great
deal OF spirit and dash, and the funny
situations follow so rapidly that the audi
ence is not allowed TO recover from one
spasm OF laughter before it is overtaken
by another" OF the cast be says: THE
acting of Mr.. John 7. Craven, 'Old
SPORT was particularly good, as was
also that OF Miss Marion Gilmore, Venus

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The International Lesson for the Firs
Sunday in December.

The International Lesson for the First
Sunday in December.
The international Sunday school lesson
for to-day is on the scriptural subject:
1.-THE Sinful Nation" The golden text is:
"Cease to do evil; learn to do WELL"
The time of the occurrences narrated in
the lesson is uncertain. 1t was probably
between TAO and $50 B. c., while Ahaz,
one Of the worst Kings that ever reigned
in Jerusalem, was on the throne OF Judah.
The family of Isaiah is unknown, except
that his fathers name was Amoz. Ac-
cOrding to the lesson he prophesied under
UzZiah, lothian, Ahaz, and Hezekiah. II
he began in the last year of UzZieh, b. c.
1859, and continued to tie end OF Heze-
kiah's reign, B. G. COS, he would have
prophesied over sixty years, and he must
have been between so and 80 years old at
his death. A Jewish tradition makes him
survive Hezekiah several years, and
suffer martyrdOm under Manasseh, by
being sawn to death. lsaiah's character
stands before us as one OF almost SUPER
human elevation. When he Is thought of
during those sixty years, discharging so
many varied Offices, expostulating, re-
proving, eXpounding, comforting, doing
all with deepest resignation and unfalter-
ing faith towards God, and with serene
dignity towards men, it seems to be con-
templating one who, while retaining all
purely human sympathies, has a portion
Of seraphic nature communicated to him.
The home readings for the week are as
follows: Monday, The Sinful Nation. Isa.
L.: lis. Tuesday. A Lamentation Amos

-Four Fires Caused by Sparks from
Burning Chimnies.


Burning Chimnies.
The fire department had a lively day Of
it yesterday. The record was four fires.
The losses, however. were small. A few
minutes after noon flames were discovered
bursting out through the roof of house
on Bay street near East Broad street,
occupied by Lizzie Morel, colored. An
alarm was sounded from box No. 9, at the
gas works. The fire department imme-
diately responded and soon had the
flames extinguished. The damage was
slight, and will probably not exceed 500.
the property is owned by Thomas HOOh-
han.
The department was again called out at
3 o'clock by an alarm struck from box No.
s6.corner Lincoln and Huntingdon streets.
The ire was discovered in one Of row of
tenement houses on East Broad, between
Hall and Huntingdon streets, and was
nxtingulshed with a few bucketfulls OF
water. The damage was trifllng. The
house is owned by Mr.. Thomas Theus,
and is occupied by negroes.
About 80 O'Clock last night private
alarm was sent TO fire department head
quarters stating that the roof Of the house
at No. 90 Perry street was on fire. Chief
Fernandez sent out a detail of fremen,
and by cutting away a part Of the roof
the fire was extingushed without calling
out the department. The property rs
owned by Mr.. Carl Schultz, and is fully
covered by insurance.
Between and O'Clock yesterday morn
ing fire was seen south OF the city near
the Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way crossings. An alarm was given at
the Protection Hose company's house
but when II was learned that the fire was
outside the city limits the company did
not 90 out. The fire was In a small house
which was totally destroyed All four of
the hres are supposed TO have been caused
BY sparks from burning chimneys.
