CONCERNING
CHRIST MAS
GOODS.

Only four days remain in which to
complete the Christmas shopping.
How to do it easily and economical
ly is the question which yexes nearly
everybody just now We shall do
everything in our power to solve the
vexed question. In the first place
we feel every confidence in COM
mending our stock as being complete
and of excellent value. We do not
say that we have the largest stock in
the United States, but do say
that we have applied all our skill
and resources towards collecting
stock which shall be pleasing to the
eye-and of intrinsic value to the
purchaser-and which nearly all
Portland people take pride and
pleasure in showing their friends
from other cities and towns.
We are now showing goods on
three floors. In the basement are
all kinds of Toys and goods for Chill
dren, and an extensive stock of Bask-
cts and Brackets. On the main floor
nearly every department contains
goods suitable for Christmas Pres
ents, and none of the counters should
be passed by without a careful in
spection. In the room up stairs, en-
trance outside, (Gilbert's Hall stairs
we have a room filed with choice ar
ticles which have been manufactured
in our own work rooms, also a fine
collection of Bronzes, French Bisque
and Venetian Figures, Baeearat Cut
Glass, Ink Stands, Vases, Odor and
Toilet Bottles, of our own direct i'm
portation. Several fine Chairs,
Screens, Mirrors and Cabinets win
be sold at very reasonable prices.
The public are cordially invited to
examine this vast collection. The
members of our firm and their assis-
tants will be very glad to have Gus
toners consult them and will render
all assistance possible in guiding cos
toners to the different departments
and helping them to make selections.

letter to his parents, asking their pardon
fur the grief he was about to cause them,
determined to leave behind him his I'm,
pressionsn as the poison he had swallowed
look effect. He absorbed the poison IN an
American grog at Partisan Gale. Inen
Withdrawing to private room of the estao-
lishment he took up pen to Jot down ms
imp.essions. Il ara going to die" ran this
strange document, the beginning OF Which

The writer was in his death agony. Am
afraid? No, want to die, though orignt
fnture was in store for me. But loved. IL
i, good to love, but it is also fatal" After
1h.sr reflections the unfortunate lad hegan
TO suffer intolerable agony, which he de-
picted ia disiointed phrases. The poison
burnt his Throat, his chest, his heart" he
c,u.d no longer note down his impressions.
He had but life left to write the last words,

{ TOLUME LIYXTf.D

The GAZETTE was established in 1900, and IS
he Oldest paper published in the State, and with
one or two exceptions the oldest in the coul
try. 1t is proposed to keep up Its usefulness aud
to continue it as paper suited for the family as
well as tor the counting room and work shop
and to this end neither pains nor expense will be
spared.
The GAZETTE circulatcs among people who
consult its advertising columns before puicEas
ing. That this is self-cvdent may be inferred
from the fact that large country edition-ncar.
ly as large the daily-iS sent out all over this
section of country three times week, aud IS
read by thousands, most Of whom send here or
to contiguous cities to make purchases. The al
vantages of advertising in the GAZETTE
apparent, and need no further demonstration.
The GAZETTE will continue to furnish tho
news kilograms Of the New York Associated Press
and of Reuters European Agency while its
Washington correspondence will furnish H."
latest and most reliable news from the capital Of
the nation.
The Commercial columns of the GAZETTE vii!
give the earliest and most exact financial and
commercial news, with reliable reports Of the
Grain, Cattle, Grocery and other Markets.
Its Richmond correspondence and special tcle-
graphic dispatches will give early and accurate
accounts of tho proceedings of the General Assem-
bly, and of all the operations of the State govern
ment.
Correspondence from every section of the State
published continually, and all events Of interest
occurring within the bounds of the Common wealth
will be faithfully reported.
In the Local Department no pains vii! bo
spared to chronicle all matters occurring in tho
city and neighborhood.

SOUTH WASHINGTON.

A SURPRISE pARTY.-A pleasant party
OF young ladies' and gentlemen OF East
Washington quito Unexpectedly invaded
the residence of Mrs. Nelson Brumagim,
No. 631 + street southwest, last evening.
The party evidently camo for good tlmo
and that they succeeded was fully attested
by tho frequent outbursts of laughter from
some ludicrous saying or q merry song, In
which all took part. Mrs. Brumagtm,
although taken completely by surprise, was
soon prepared to meet tho emergency, and
tho party were invited into the dining
