The opposition to the present Civil
Service law is rapidly becoming for
midable. Not that the people do not
believe reform is necessary in our
civil service, but because they have
found out that there is no reform in
the present methods, nor do they be-
lieve any reform possible under the
law. 1t would not be surprising if
an effort was made to repeal the law
at the coming session of Congress.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, July %, 1885,
Mr.. Harrison reached Washington
last week, stayed several days and
turned out surprising number of
appointments, surprising to the fell
lows who were only expecting disap-
pointments. He also took a hand in
the deal between the National repub-
lican committee and the republican
faction of Virginia. A proceeding
which, while it enhanced his reputa-
ton as a politician, caused him to
be more or less harshly criticised by
large number of people who think
the President should keep out Of par
tizan politics. He has now gone back
to Deer Park. For the present he
will divide his vacation into periods
of fortnight each, he will remain
away two weeks, returned here for
two or three days, then go to Mr..
Blaine's cottage at Bar Harbor,
Maine, for a two weeks stay, then
back to Washington for few days,
after which he will go to Deer Park
to stay until October.
Mr.. Blaine will not return here be-
fore October, and it is announced that
the half.a.dozen unimportant consul
lar appointments made Saturday are
all that will be made before his re-
turn.

A SUDDEN DEATH.
DR.. A. D. Risdon is Suddenly Stricken
With Death at His Office at
Pas this Afternoon.

This evening at 2:4b the sad
news was quickly spread on the
streets that DIR. A. ID. Risdon, the
weli-known homeopathic physician
had suddenly been stricken dead.
The news was a surprise to every.
one, as the doctor has been in good
health up to yesterday afternoon,
when he was attacked by neuralgia
of the stomach, and pr. Z. &. Curtis
called, and administering the proper
remedies the doctor was able TO
accompany DR.. Curtis toN'his office
in the New Bank block, where he
remained and spent an hour in
pleasant conversation, after which
DIR. Curtis walked home with him
and when he left him DIR. Risdon
said he felt no pal . and thought all
trouble was over.
DIR. Curtis called again this morn
ing and found that the neuralgia
had returned again. He applied
proper treatment and when he left
the doctor said he felt much easier.
Just about noon DIR. Risdon's
daughter hastily summoned DIR.
Curtis saying that her father was
feeling worse, and after the attend
ing physician had administered to
the sufferer for an hour DIR. Ris.
don sat up In bed apd said
that "he felt perfectly comfortable
and did not feel 'tinge of
pain about his body" DIR.
Curtis departed at las n! N. and
had not been to this office longer
than 20 minutes until a. messenger
hastily summoned him again to the
bedside of his patient and it was
plainly seen that the worst was over
and that disease had reached vital
part of the body, and at 2:45 the
soul of the sufferer passed out to
that world beyond.
The dreaded disease had went to
the heart, and a few minutes suter-
ing ended the life of y man that has
quite a history.
DIR. Risdon was born near Roch-
ester, New York, about G1 years ago.
From New York he came west as
far as Decatug, Illinois,T where he
first began the practice of his pro-
fession. He aftegward came to Cal
ifornia, where he practiced his
profession until five years ago, when
he came to Salem And since that
time has been actively engaged IN
his profession.
He leaves tw0 daughters and q
son. One daughter was at his bed
side at the tims OF his sudden death.
The other two children are living in
California.
DIR. Risdon had many warm
friends in the city who will be
and grieved to hear of his
sudden death.

and lays.
Little Mamie was one of those
sweet, spirituelle littlefspirits, who
by their bright eyeS and winsome
ways at once captivAed the hearts
of all with whom they come in con-
tact.
Though so young yet she frequent
ly gave recitatione at the various
gatherings, and an her aequaintan-
ces will remember the \ \applause
that invariably |greeted her little
efforts to please Them. She\was in
deed winsomS little elf, at once
the pride and joy of her found pa
rents hearts, jnd the sunshine of
their lives. Little Mamie's illness
lasted for upwards Of three months,
yet was accompanied by absolutely
no suffering during its entire course.
The complicatipg disease arose but
few days before the final end.
All that lovingShearts and willing
hand could do was, done, but all in
vain. Physicians NassayedI to save
her, seconded by the untirtng vigils
and ever watchful care offthe fond
parents and the ever Nearnest striy-
ings of the little patient herself. She
at all times complied With the at
tendants requests and fwas at all
times the same loving Mamie as
when in health.
The end came peacefully and
easily-her mind remSining perfect-
ly clear unto the LAST fher lastwords

Her remains were tenderly LAID to
rest by loving hands, in Bethel

ing as they ihtend to NO they not
only violate these rules but also
succeed IN b limited extent in ruin

done to allow the many employees

ually risen forth from an almost in
visible sheet to now be the leading
journal OF the city. Fow are the
homes that this paper is not

upon as ona of Oregon's most
leading newslppsrs. And further,
among the many things that the

mob of tin horn gamblers and noto-

SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED.-Y
terday morning James Smith and
Alfred Thompson two young Salem
lads took their dinner and started to
the East Salem school and since that
time nothing has been heard of
them. 1t is thought that the young
travellers have Nstarted for Portland
and the officers at that place will
keep look out for them. Smith
is son of Capt. games l.. Smith of
the Willamette uver service and
Thompson is sou Nof Rev. Thomp-
son, of Grand Ronde. Smith has
been in the habit OF hunting on the
old Willamette river, \and it was at
first supposed that he was on a
hunting lark, buta reporter of this
paper was informed that his gun was
at home, and evidently they have
departed fora new pasture. The
youths are of a very tender age,
and it is thought that they will
be captured and returned home
sadder but wiser for their expert
ence with the outside world. The
state should have a reform.school for
sIch boys.

CURIOUS SUPERSTITION.-At sew
eral intervals during the past few
months well to do Chinaman in
the city has called at the business
Office of the JOURNAL and purchased
several quires of plain white paper.
For time no particular notice was
taken of the Occurance but as the
caAs became more frequent curl
OsitN was aroused as to what was
onewith the paper. All inquiries
fasled 70 bring out any Explanation
of the master, but the Astoria Pio-
neer reports similar pccurance in
their cityand says that, "all efforts
to learn what use the pagan made
of the paper proved anavailing un-
til yesterday, when reporter trailed
the man to, notorious gambling
den In the pagan quarter. An in
telligent looking heathen stood in
the doorway / through which the
man with 4e paper passed;
said, Him blig Chinese
gambler; ail same white man.
What himdo with white plaper?
Why, him use Aim In gambling
house, you sabe? lChinaman velly
superstitious." The pagan then
went Oh and explained that white
was the only coldr that Chinese
gambling house keepers will tolerate
on tile walls of their gambling
rooma. 1t is the color of mourning
and OF the robes wornNby the spirits
Of the dead. 1t Is associated with
the idea of losing money and is be-
lieved to bring bad fortune to the
patrons Of the game. Even the in
scriptiOns to the tutelary gods are
always written on white paper, and
white candles are burned before the
shrine, instead of red ones, which
are ordinarily used. Thus the mys-
terry Of the pagan's purchase of
white paper is explained"
