must result in promoting closer union and
good fellowshipin the various branches of
business that will be represented on this oc-
casion. The party will meet together about
o'clock, and enjoy chat, or card-playing,
ETC., and at o'clock sit down to the dinner

Cruelty to Birds,

The attention of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty has been repeatedly called
to the cruel practice of tormenting and
wounding, and in some instances killing
pigeons and other birds by boys who live in
the upper ward of the city. They amuse
themselves by using air guns, bows and
arrows, sings and spring guns. A gentle
man Thursday witnessed a case where a
young lad wounded pigeon for sport and
then left it to suffer and perhaps die. These
cases are becoming quite frequent, and here
after all complaints will be investigated,
and offenders, if found, will be punished.
Ii persons who know of any act of cruelty
inflicted on bird or beast will telephone to
A. NJ. Sawyer, agent, No. 279 L, the call will
be promptly answered and offenders, if
found, punished,

ant by one S. G. Alexander, an employe, of an in
filed. Subsequent application was made for a
similar patent by A. A Hawley of the Merino
Shoe Company. long contest was had. result
ing favorably to the Michigan Company. The lat
ter, however, had failed to put its assignment on
record at Washington, and the Merino Shoe Com
pany induced Alexander to make second assign
ment to them, and they took out the patent in
their own name, as assignee. 1t is claimed they
had full notice of the previous assignment, and
this action is to enjoin their operations under the
patent; also to compel an assignment from them
to the complainant.

The Free Mechanic Course,

The last lecture in the free Mechanic
course was given by Rev. Marion Crosley of
the Church of the Messiah at the library
room last evening, on the subject: Live and
Let Live" 1t was in the clergymans best
style and proved a fitting conclusion to this
excellent course. The committee can take
much pride to themselves in the fact that
they have given Portland citizens one of the
most instructive and entertaining courses of
lectures they have had in Portland for long

When doubts assail the complacency of the
believer in popular government he need only
turn to such story as is told in the press dis
patches from Munich to be convinced that there
are some features of hereditary monarchy
against which common sense must always re-
volt. The scandals which, in a political cam
paign in the United States, are stirred up to be-
foul the air, are not much worse, after all, than
the spectacle of a lunatc like Otto on the throne
OF European kingdom. And yet the theory
OF divine right sanctions the farce of this poor

Chicago are growing ashamed of The tactics of
their counsel. At first, doubtless, they were
sufficiently frightened to be willing to submit
with grace To the indignity of being proved
good and peaceable citizens, but when they
found themselves subject to- public contempt
for rushing into revolt against organized
society and then trying TO sneak out OF the con-
sequences, their feeling changed. Yesterday
one OF the lawyers for the defence guile trans
gressed the bounds of righteous patience, when
he tried To show that Editor Spies did not wish
10 be held responsible for the utterances OF his
own newspaper. Even though some of his
courage as an anarchist might have oozed out
Of Spies since his arrest, he had enough pro-
fsssonal pride left to insist upon a truce to such
overzealous championship a this.

The most prominent florist In New York has
JAILED In business because he had too many
wealthy and fashionable customers. They were
SLOW In paying bills, and he was afraid of LOSES
patronage If he insisted on n settlement, paying
heavy interest IN the meantime, on borrowed
capital, until he was forced into bankruptcy,
with large balances on his books. while those
who ruined him are enjoying themselves at the
summer resorts. This mans experience is by
no mean $ exceptional. though oil who snare 1t
may not have suffered to- the same degree. The
testimony of nearly all dealers is to the effect
that the best customers are those in moderate
circumstances with little pretensions, and even
the quite poor, while the least desirable are the
very wealthy and those wIo make greatest
claims To position, style, etc. The former pay
cash down, or when they can, the latter too
often only when they must.
