Portland Oregoniau.
Among the time-worn, ii not time hon
ored institutions, that having served their
day and generation must soon pass away,
is the street railway operated by horses.
From present indications electricity will
within few years supplant these tired
drudges OF the street in most of the larger
cities OF the world. Economy and the
growing desire of the public for rapid
transportation. even ii the distance TO pe
passed over is but few blocks, are the
chief elements that are urging the substitu-
ton of electricity for animal traction in
moving street-cars.
Among the advantages that are urged in
favor oil the change are more rapid transit,
better service. cleaner streets and smoother
pavements between tracks and rails, less
noise, the abolition of stables and the enor-
nous cost of feeding and caring for horses.
II is estimated that the expense of these
last two items alone will. in the larger cities,
provide amply for the cost OF generating
the electricity, keeping the roads and wires
In good condition, and pay half the salaries
OF the conductors. This is at leas, the es,i-
mate OF street car company in Milwaukee,
that proposes 10 inaugarate the overhead
electric system" in that city as soon as the
consent OF the council can be secured.
There is no question out the removal of
car-horses will add greatly to the cieanli-
ness. comfort and beauty of the streets of
crowded cities. The argument on this prop
osition Is all on the Affirmative side. and
when street car companies are satisfied
that there is money in it, the change will
be made. and the ideal car-horse will be re-
iieyed from the hopeless task of getting to
the end OF his monotonous journey

AT dinner not long ago Wilkie
Collins related instances proving how
impossible it was to introduce into a
novel descriptions of places and things
wholly imaginary. In one of his works
he described house which he had
never seen, and which was entirely the
offspring of his imagination. A few
days after the publication man called
upon him to protest against the intro
duction of his house into his novel.
Strange to say, the pages of the novel
contained perfect description of the
mans property. At another time he
used as one of his characters man
who was so exact about his eating that
he weighed every morsel which en-
tered his stomach. Mr.. Collins had in
reality never heard of such man. He
was greatly surprised, one week after
the appearance of his book, by the visit
OF an utter stranger, who wished to
know by what right Mr.. Collins made
him ridiculous in print by mentioning
one of his peculiarities.

The LATEST Man in the Country.

One of the LATEST men in the coun-
try Is John Curtis, who is serving q
three years sentence in the State
prison at Salem, Oregon. Curtis
worked in the foundry, and about three
months ago took off his boots on the
plea that they hurt him, and then
burned his foot SO severely that he was
laid up. When the burn was healed
ne put vinegar on it, and aggravated
1t to prevent its getting well. The
prison physician treated him, and
managed to cure the wound. Curtis
was set at work again. He worked
four days, and then with Ratchet cut
off his left hand. It took two blows.
One cut through the fleshy part of the
hand, the other clean through the
wrist joint. He confessed that he did
1t to avoid work.-Neac York World.

Boston (Mass.) Herald, Oct. 2.
South Boston hits it quite often, oftener
than is generally supposed. Several times
have the great capital prizes of the Louis
lana State Lottery been sent over to tho
peninsula to be distributed among the citi-
zens of that locality. The latest favored
gentleman at the court of good fortune was
Mr.. John II. Havey, who resides on West
Fourth street, and who does business at 304
West Broadway. Mr.. Havey Is a popular
citizen of the South Boston district, where
he has lived as man and boy for SO years of
his life. He was holder of 10th of the
second capital prize drawn at the last draw
ing of the Louisiana State Lottery, and he
received s. 600 in crisp bills last week. The
full amount that was drawn by the number
he held was 5000, and as there were two
other holders of twentieths in Boston, to-
tai of $1,000 came to this city as prize
money to gladden. the hearts of holders OF
lucky numbers. Mr.. Havey is not con-
slant buyer of tickets in lotteries, but has
purchased such tickets without

OF all the sovereigns of Europe the
Gear of Russia is the least pleased with
his work. This is not owing to the
fact that the Gear has nihilism to
fight, but because he is constitutionally
opposed to the cares of state. Helikes
to hunt and fish, and is very fond of his
family. He is sociable by nature and
enjoys sitting at table drinking wine
and talking to good friends. It is sell
dom, however that he can indulge his
tastes in any of these directions. He
is obliged to give a great deal of time
to the affairs of his vast empire, and he
often wishes that he had been born in

Woodruff is sending circulars to this
country announcing herself as a can
didate for President of the United
States in 1892. Mrs. Woodruff is mar
ried to rich English gentleman named
John Biddulph Martin. She ought to
be satisfied to have a nice home. and
she certainly ought to keep out of
politics. As citizen of England she
has no right to be elected President of
the United States. As matter of
fact her sex also deprives her of this
luxury. Furthermore, Belva A. Lock
wood has lien on the Presidency, and
as soon as the Constitution is changed
to admit of her taking the chair she
will be unanimously elected.

and move to a better stamping
ground" So they proceeded up the
Jefferson River, and for fortnight
met with most excellent success, all
kinds of game peculiar to that region
falling before the unerring aim of their
rifles. Elk and deer were plenty, and
the hunters did not need to 60 far from
the camp to find them. One day, while
the party were out in the brush and
separated from each other at consider
able distances, they surprised quite a
large herd of elk, and the animals ran
at tremendous rate of speed down
grade toward valley, aiming to cross
over to the mountains opposite. The
firing of the hunters guns at the ami
mails Immediately became SO rapid and
sharp, and the haIlooing and shouting
SO loud, that they were SO badly fright
ened as to take no notice of any enemy
in front, and bounded over rocks,
brush, and small trees with startling
rapidity in their wild efforts to escape.
johnson, who was considerably in
advance Of the remainder of the party,
caught glimpse of the elk approach
ing, and ran up hill to secrete himself
behind the rocks and bushes, and thus
not only head the animals off but get
good shot as well. He gained a
choice position, aud waited long
enough, as he supposed, for the elk to
approach him, but as they did not come
he concluded they had gone in another
direction. So, with gun in hand, he
pushed ahead, anxiously expecting to
get a capital shot. just as he was
emerging from some crags and dwarf
ish evergreens the whole band of elk,
not knowing his presence, and without
warning, swept down and all around
him, and he found himself right in the
midst of the herd. Indeed, so suddenly
and unexpectedly had they dashed
around him that to use his gun was
quite impossible, and it was knocked
from his hands, beyond his reach. In
fact, he became wedged between two
elk and was lifted bodily, and tossed
or thrown in such manner that he fell
hadlong over declivity and dropped
plump upon the back of a big buck,
lighting astraddle. Quickly grasping
the elk by the horns, he held on with
all his strength, while the animal
plunged and reared and snorted in the
most violent manner, closely initiating
the bucking of Cayute pony.
The other elk were considerably af-
fected with curiosity at the strange
