OLD QUARTERS REFITTEo.
The Comfortable Home OF the 'ou"s
MEMS Christian Association.

The opening of the newly furnished ana
decorated rooms of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association last night was grahu sue
cess numerically, in spite oil tue unpropl-
tious state of the elements, ana those VINO
attended certainly were repaid for ventur-
ing out. The rooms have been so changed
as To be entirely unfamiliar Part OF the
hall has been partitioned off and included in
the rooms throwing them en- suite. On en-
tering. spacious vestibule is the key OF the
plau. from which radiate the different rooms
To the left is the reading room. beautifully
decorated and furnished in mahogany tints,
supplied with choice literature from all parts
Of the country, the magazines enclosed In
tasty covers, being on the tables, around
which are grouped arm chairs, Inviting one
to sit down and read The newspapers will
be grouped in racks on the wall, easy OF ref
erence and access. The boys reading and
amusement room opens off this, and will be
supplied with choice juvenile literature.
Retracing our steps and entering the lee
ture room, another transformation is seen.
The floor is covered with pretty pattern OF
linoleum, and the room furnished with ash
cane-seated chairs, fine organ, etc. Open
ing from this are the toilet room and kitchen
Part of the hall has been partitioned off, and
on the front corner of the building is situat-
cd the large parlor, furnished in a very at
tractive manner, with piano, large plush
covered easy chairs of various shapes and
colors, centre table, secretary and the usual
drapings. Opening from it are the directors
room, furnished in oak, and also nicely
draped and carpeted, and the amusement
room, where checkers, dominoes, and ''all
games in season." can be found The whole
interior is tinted tremendously. and presents
"homelike" appearance, quite different from
the usual run of such places. The young
men of Portland are certainly to be congrat-
ulated upon the provision made for their
comfort and enjoyment, and the attractions
outlined by the management of the associa-
tion are so many that it would seem that all
was being done that could be done to render
the coming winter pleasant one for the
"boys." The rooms are open for inspection
by our citizens at any time. and all will be
cordially welcomed.

veterinarian, DR.. Winchester, that II tuber-
cular bacilli existed the microscope alone
must detect them. Glands were taken from
various parts Of the cows body and were
sent to the department OF agriculture at
Washington for examination. Yesterday
DR.. George IL. Bailey received an official re-

The Tide That Led 70 Fortune.

The great food that brought disaster
upon the dwellers in the Conemaugh VAL
ley turned Gen. Rosecrans from his quiet
way and made miner of him. He was
in Virginia when that great food came
on. 1t cut him off from communication
with Washington and kept him for awhile
in a barren country. While he was thus
cut off n farmer proposed to him to go
and look at mountain supposed to have
iron in il. The General Is student, aud
has dipped into most of the myster es Of
nature that science knows. He is fond
of investigation. He went TO the noun
tain and now the mountain is coming 10
him. 1t proved TO be a valuable iron
mountain. He formed a company and
bought it. Tn, company entered into a
contract with n Pit sburg company by
which the latter agreed 10 develop the
mine at their own expense and deliver the
iron on the cars at price that would paw
the company owning the mine we'll.
Without any expense beyond the first
purchase money for the mountain the
company is getting its ore out p,oftably.
Sixteen chambers are being worked. and,
to use the miners expression, the ore
mells like butter.-W Washington letter.
