ASTORIA NOTES.

The cutting rates on the Lower
Columbia between the o. r. & n.
Co.'S boats and the Telephone, is
growing very warm. The company
are running four boats, two day, and
two night boats, and it seems they
are determined to run the Telephone
off the river. Neither company is
making more than expenses, in con-
sequence of the low rates.
The seaside resorts are making
preparations for a large travel this
summer.
Fishing on the Lower Columbia
is the dullest this season that it has
been for many years. Some fisher
men are talking of quitting the river.
There is no profit to either fisher
men or canneries, with the present
run of fish. If the decrease in fish
continues for the next few years, as
it has in the past few, fishing on the
Columbia will be something of the
past.
The river has been very rough
during the last month, and several
men have been drowned, and a
number of boats lost. ARGI.

What Secretary McBride Saws of It.

The writer asked Secretary of
State Mcbride this afternoon re-
garding the capitol grounds, and as
to whether he thought they ought
to be extended.
eff we ever finish the capitol
building" he answered, "the state
should have those grounds in order
to show off the building, we'll"
Mr.. Mcbride said that the last
legislature made an appropriation
for the improvement of the capitol
building, and grounds, but that
none of the amount had been eX-
pended on the grounds, because if
work were to be commenced on the
dome, teams, wagons, workmen,
etc., would soon destroy any work
that might have been accomplished.
He says, though, that the next
legislature will probably increase
the appropriations already made,
and if Wilson's avenue were to be
turned over to the state, it could be
greatly improved next year.
Secretary Mcbride favOrs the plan
suggested by the JOURNAL yester-
day, and promises his aid to accom-
plish the end, if it is desired to have
this done.

the many friends Of Ed Abbey in
this city. 1t is from the Yaquina
Post:-"Ed Abbey and Mr.. Larsen,

engaged in the restaurant business in
San Diego, had the misfortune to
lose his entire outfit by fire, a week

ness sense) would have it, however,
he had a fair insurance on the
property destroyed, and can resume
business again when he gets through
visiting. Reports times lively and
plenty of money in California"

KelIer,s Store Entered by Burglars.

The jolly burglar is again abroad
in the land. Sunday morning, they
entered Keller & Sons store through
the transom over the rear door, and
took about S6 in cash and a lot of ci-
gars and tobacco. They evidently
tried to break open the safe, but were
unsuccessful. There must have been
several of them, and the one who
entered the store through the tran
som opened the door to the rest.
The matteris now in Marshal'Ro
hands.
1t is supposed that when this was
done, Salem's tone" policeman was
guarding the other end of his beat.

The vgilant imp, Indigestion, goads us
with his many-lashed scourge. Each lash
is n diabOlic symptom. No comfort I'm ent-
ing, misery afterwards, little or broken rest
at night, visitations of the nightmare dur
ing fitful intervals of sleep, an uprising
unrefreshed and without appetite, sleepi-
ness and yawning during the day, nervous
ness and irritability of temper, even mono,
mania in extreme cases. Hard to bear, all
this. Necessary? No! a thousand times
no, so long as Hostetter's stomach Bitters,

or chronic, is procurahle. The commence

FarrOn's Soap Bubble.

This entertaining musical play
will be presented here tomorrow
night. Go and see it. The Kansas
City Times says of it. "SOap Bubble
is one of the most taking NONSENSE
cal creations of the day. 1t is well
supplied with popular music, and
when the humor lags horse play
steps in to keep the ball a-rolling.
Last nights performance was at
tended by good sized and appre-
ciative audience. Mr.. Farron was as
mirth-provOking as ever, possibly
more so, and his songs were never
better received. Miss Dolly Foster
is as piquant as a pinch OF snutf,and
though her voice is not Of the most
Dowerful. her vivacity and mimetic
bowers make full amends for any
deficiency in the vocal line. She
Shared the hOnors with FarrOn. Ed
J. Connolly is IA creditable substitute
for Baker. and Miss Ross is quite
tuneful. The east generally was up
to requirements, and the audience
felt quite sore when the curtain fell." "

BALCONY AND WINDOW GARDENING.

Naturally enough, being of British
origin, our city jewellers try their
skill in their particular lines, often,
we regret to say, with much Tissue
cess. Why we do not succeed may
be retold-the old story that the
sun is too hot when allowed to play
its full force on the tlowerpots, when
exposed either on window-sills or on
balconies. To make window and
balcony gardening pleasure, the
grower should always have recepta-
Giles wherein to plunge the pots.
These surrounded by moss or tan
will so keep the roots moist and cool
that plant cultivation under these
conditions should then be pleas
ure. For balcony and windows
plain wooden structures should not
be allowed. They should be cover
ed over with what is termed virgin
cork, and in the special way of bal
cony gardening, neat rustic affairs
may be made to initiate what is
termed rockwork. What to plant
will depend on position, as in sunny
aspects sun.loving plants must be
selected, and in shady situations
the reverse. AS a matter of rule,
all plants, when cultivated under
such conditions, dislike high winds /;
therefore, in this description of
of gardening, unless temporary
shelter can he supplied when such
occurs, it will be useless to attempt
to cultivate plants. Nearly akin to
balcony plant cultivation is the
bushhouse. We again caution those
who may cultivate plants in such
structures of the necessity of having
shelves filled with either tan or
cocoanut fibre, so that there may al
ways be a moistness under the pots ;
and also so much better would it be
if the plants could be either par
TALLY or totally plunged in the same
material.-[Sydney Mail.

CHANGE THE ORDER.

Left
Why, don't you enter the names
in the order in which applications
for passage come?
Certainly we do. The first who
comes is the first name to go down,
and so on.
How is that going to affect your
hair?
Well, ten minutes after the paper
is out with the list of passengers
going by the steamer, some woman
will pounce upon me and maui me
numerically, because some other
woman's name is before hers. When
she has satisfied her vengeance,
another comes in for the same pur-
pose. So for gooC ness sake, Re-
porter, change the order of the
names that | may blame it on you.
They are afraid to tackle reporter,
because he can give it back to them

DEPARTURE OF THE AUSTRALIA.

The departure of the S. S. Aus
tralia for San Francisco this noon,
was, in all probability, the biggest
send off yet. The steamer took
237 passengers-7s in the cabin and
159 in the steerage. Fully GOO peo-
pie were on the wharf to see the
steamer off. The band was in at
tendance, and, as usual, played
well. The flower vendors must
have reaped harvest, judging from
the decorations of the passengers.
The steamer was delayed 20 min
utes waiting for the mail, which
having come, was put on board the
ship in lively style, and in few
moments the steamer was moving
away from the wharf. There was a
late passenger, Portuguese as
usual, who was hauled up at the
bow of the steamer.
The value of the domestic prod
uce taken by the S. S. Australia
was $25S, 760.04. The quantity of
bananas taken by her was extra
large, (3471 lunches.

RESCUE WORK.

Nothing is easier in this world
than for man to Ego to the dogs"
And one may insensibly glide into a
position of social degradation, from
which it is impossible to rise without
help. How many wrecks of human
ity know this to their cost? Friends
who will help one in prosperity are
generally conspicuous only by their
absence in the time Of adversely.
Probably no man is SO utterly help
less as the discharged criminal. His
relations, if he ever had any, and
they are respectable, he is ashamed
to meet. Goodly people pass him
by. The brand of Cain seems to be
upon his brow, and there appears to
be nothing for him to do but to 90
from bad to worse, and to die, as he
has lately lived, in gaol. Besides
walking the street with "big
drum" and flaring lights, and
preaching at each corners, the Sal
walton Army people do other, and
certainly on the face it, equally
creditable work. Two important
institutions are maintained by them.
One is the Prison-gate Brigade
Home and the other a home devoted
to the reform of fallen women.
Both are sustained chiefly by volun-
tary contributions and although
somewhat strange for the Salvation
Army-they are worked quietly and
unostentatiously, both unquestion-
ably are the means of doing great
good. All the well-known zeal of
the Army is thrown into both under
takings, and persons who once re-
form are afterwards kept in touch
by them as long as possible. 1t
would appear that the Female Re-
fuge is, of the two institutions, more
generously subscribed to by the
public. In city like Sydney there
is, it is sad to say, very great scope
for n work of this kind, and the
women who undertake this "mis-
sion of women to women" must be
brave as well as practical. In this
way, at least, the Army can claim
public sympathy, and ought as
suredly to receive public support.

its consequent evils, is greatly on

BURlALS IN NEW GUINEA.

A new Guinea boy was seized and
eaten by one of the many crocodiles
that prey upon the coasts of the
island. His sorrowing parents slew
the offending monster, and, rescuing
the half of their beloved son, which
was still uneaten, they greedily de-
voured it in their grief When their
kindred die they hang them up or
lay them on a framework of bam-
boos for the sun to cleanse the bones
of flesh. While this is going on
they watch near the corpse, and at
intervals, when their grief becomes
too much for them, they visit it and
smear their bodies all over with the
juices that are dropping from the
dead body. When decay has done
its work the bones are cleaned and
some of them buried, while others
are worn as ornaments by the sur
vivors, and the skulls decorate their
houses. In other tribes the bodies
are buried in sitting posture up to
the neck, and vessel is placed over
the head. In these cases the skull
alone is prepared for ornament, the
eest of the body being left beneath
the soil.

off the plate onto the deck of the
vessel. Bailey picked up the bread
and saying, - it; why don't you
give me plate for the bread, and,
walking into the galley, was taking
plate when the Chinaman swore at
him. A short scuflle ensued during
which four plates were broken. All
Pc not having got the best of the
tussle, threw u Ratchet at Bailey, as
the latter was about to retire from
the galley. Dodging the Ratchet,
Bailey went for the celestial, who
reacI ing a big butcher knife, cut
Bailey's elbow and then his back as
he was retreating. All Pc was
shortly afterwards arrested with the
above result. The wounds Bailey
received, were not dangerous but
were nevertheless painful and re-
