TUE CHARGEs.-The first dis
patches gave wrong impression
of the charges against Bishop
Dubs, at Cleveland. At the time,
Rev. Fisher, of this city, who is
we'll acquainted with the Bishop,
assured us he was confident there
was a mistake in them, as recent
verifes. The charges
were simply that he accused some
of the members of the church of
having falsifed in a telegram sew
eral years ago. The others were
the placing of his hand on the
back of woman's chair in a fa-
miliar manner and at another time
of treating a servant girl in ia
miliar manner, nothing criminal
being even limited at.-Albany-
Democrat.

DAsTARDLY.-A correspondent
writes from Oakville, Linn county,
and among other things says:
The missionary box of the ladies'
missionary society was robbed last
Tuesday night during the sociable.n

A SwINDLE.-A new fountain
pen, especially adapted to the
needs of the sharper, has been in
vented. Having selected his vic
tim and made all preliminary ar
rangements, Mr.. Sharper writes
out a very innocent looking agree
ment with an ink that fades read
lily. Then by a simple and imper-
ceptible motion he turns on
another kind of writing fluid and
hands it to the victim and gets his
signature in permanent ink.
When the agreement fades out a
promissory note is written in and
the job is done. For a time this
pen will have as much work to do
in the city as in the country.

visiting an Eola young man asked
him if he could transpose the let

To LOWER ALsEA.-Andrew II.
Diven, an M. D.. who has been in
Salem for the past Twelve months,
was in Corvallis OH Wednesday
with his family. They are on their
way to the Alsea country in the
neighborhood of Waldport, this
county, along the coast. Mr.. Diven
intends to locate upon body Of
land he and others have pre- empt-
ed there and will remain upon it
until after the summer season.
He and family have been ailing
with lnalarial troubles of late in
the capital city, and seek their
new location partly to regain their
health, No doubt, they will be
speedily cured, If there is any re-
lief in ocean breezes. This Alsea
country is a rich, healthful place,
but is lacking in better communi-
cation with the rest of the world.

PERsoNAL.--Frank G, Baker, Ore
gon's printer, was in Corvallis Oh
Monday attending a meeting of
the directors of the new land and
loan company. Mr.. Baker will,
without a doubt, be re-nominated
on the republican ticket for this
position of state printer and if he
is elected (which will most likely
be) will have the pleasure of
knowing tha6he is, the first one
who has been honored in that way
in the history of Oregon's public
printers. 1t might be we'll to state
that Mr.. B. has, during his past
four years term, purchased print
ing material and machinery with
which to use in the work of state
printing, to such an extent that
$11 900 would not cover its cost.

A good story, in which two aistin,
guished Louisianians and a no less
distinguished Georgian figured some.
what c~onspicuously in a restaurant in
Washington, D. c., was related to a
newspaper man. The Louisianians
were Hon. Thomas ]. Semmes and
Mr.. James Legendre, OF this city, and
the Georgian was Hon. Ben Hill, son
of the late senator, and himself a
prominent Georgia politician. The
party were en- route to New York city
to attend the centennial of the su-
preme court Of the United States.
On the arrival of the train at Wash
ington, D. c., the usual time for break
fast was announced, and Messrs. Sem
mes and party, taking advantage Of
the opportunity thus offered, hastened
to the nearest restaurant. Each or
dered as his taste and inclination
prompted, and settled his own account.
Messrs. Semmes and Hill attacked the
bill of fare to the extent of 81, and Mr..
Legendre contented himself with a
seventy-five cent meal.
Breakfast ended, the three gentle
men each handed the waiter q silver
dollar-the exact amount of money
due by Messrs. Semmes and Hill.
Twenty-Five cents were due Legendre,
however, and this amount the waiter
returned to him on his tray. Nj. Le-
gendre had enjoyed his breakfast, and
being in good humor, replaced the
quarter on the tray to tip" the waiter.
The waiter, placing the money in a
glass on his tray, passed it TO Mr..
Semmes as a gentle reminder of what
was expected of him Mr.. Semmes
was. however, busily converting with
his friend, Mr.. Hill, at the time, and
in an absent minded sort of way
quietly appropriated the tip money
under the impression, no doubt, that
it was his change. The waiter was
dumfounded, and Mr.. Legendre, some
what embarrassed, beckoned to him
and dropped an additional quarter on
the tray to soothe his feelings. This
the waiter passed TO Mr.. Hill with the
hope that he, at least, had caught
on, and that Mr.. Semmes might finally
be brought to a knowledge OF his mis-
take. But he again made a serioui
error. Mr.. Hill dealt with the tip
money just as Mr.. Semmes had done
in the first instance and the
ton proceeded in the ordinary way.
Mr.. Legendre was already out fifty
cents in the scheme, and was conse
quently not further inclined in that
direction, and before the waiter could
recover sufficiently TO explain tho
mistake the three strangers left the
restaurant and were on their way to

Modern surgery has not hesitated to
cut a new nose out of the cheek, to
loop up a dropping eyelid, or engraft
the skin OF n person upon another,
but it has not until now given a mans
ears a setback. To DIR. William w.
Keen, Of jefferson college, came a
brother physician to repair a job that
had been badly done by natures prem
tice hand, so to speak. The young
man, for he was only 10, was all ears;
that is to say, his ears were not only
abnormally large, but they fl pped in
a painfully absurd manner.
The surgeon proceeded to lay bare
the cartilage by removing the skin
from the posterior surface of the auri-
Gle, and then excised a long, narrow
piece of the cartilage-V shaped in
cross sections, as il he had run a min
iature pillow over the ridge on the
back of the ear. Great care was taken
not to cut clear through and thus
cause a sea on the anterior surface.
The edges Of the cartilage were then
drawn together by catgut stitches, in
addition to those in the skin. This
was done while the young man vas
etherized. He went to sleep with long
ears, and he awoke with short ears
very sore ones, and so intricately fas.
tened into position that for some nights
he had to sleep fiat on his back. But
when the wound had healed and the
plasters were removed he found him
self possessed of symmetrical and fair
sized ears.-Philadelphia Letter.

Every Saturday morning a crowd
of small boys gather about the door of
a bakery in Columbia street. The
temptation is a chance to earn fifty
cents for a days work offered by the
baker. The small boy is employed 10
pick over dried currants and raisins,
TO remove the stems from them and Gull
out the utterly worthless. But the
baker does a little culling among the
boys before he employs them, and his
mode Of selection is original and curl
Gus. AS each urchin enters the august
and aproned presence Of the chief cook
he is asked:
do you know how to whistler
The smart little boy, who is not rs
truthful as the Father of his Country
and has not posted himself in regard
to the civil service requirements of the
employment he seeks, unblushingly
says 'Nawl' he does not whistle. He
also does not pick raisins. The next
boy is both truthful and posted. He
the bakers question with a
bar from the classical McGinty over
ture, and is Immediately introduced to
the room within where with a score OF
others he is to find engagement. When
all the boys who have passed the ex-
animation satisfactorily are in their
places the baker brings in the bags of
raisins and c~urrants. Each boy is
given a portion and told to whistle.
The wisdom Of the bakers scheme is
that as long a there is music floating
out from the lips OF the urchin there
could exist no opportunity for raisins
and c%urrants 10 float in. The scheme
works we'll, at least while the ingen-
ious baker is present. The concert suf-

GOT HIS WI poo
Tia Experiences of a Wealthy Il
BuytnK Wedding Pro.suts

bnying neoolng frosouts-
The amount of shopping for we'd
ding gifts that is going on is some
thing tremendous, and the man who
at the club the other day remarked
that he had concluded to be married,
30 hat he could shift to the shoulders
of his wife the responsibility of max
ing dinner calls and Of buying wed
ding gifts, was answered by a groan Of
sympathy from all the bachelors pres
emit And tho mention OF wedding
gifts recalls one of the bits of light but
somewhat amusing gossip floating
here. The tale tells" as William
Morris says in beginning his new vol
ume, that in times" not long past, U
there was a wealthy and artistic bach
elor in Boston who sent to an acquaint-
ance as a wedding gift a set Of berry
spoons Of a fashion peculiar and
unique. They pleased him much, but
they did not please the bride at all,
and, she, therefore, quietly took them
back to the house where they were
bought and exchanged them. In the
curse of the winter the gentleman
went TO the same jeweler to procure
a wedding gift for another friend,
saw and recognized the spoons,
bought and presented them, still I'M
marked, t. the second bride. She liked
them no better than did her friend,
and, like her friend, she took them
back to the silversmith. But in full
ness of time the original donor OF the
spoons took unto himself a wife, and
then one of his friends who had not
heard of the first repurchase went to
the jeweler and said to him:
You know what Mr.. J. would like.
Tell me what to give him as a wedding
present"
Think, answered the jeweler with
q smile. that he must like these
spoons pretty well, for he has bought
them twice"
Then he shall have them" was the
reply; but ] really think it will be
we'll to have them marked this time,
so that they shall not como back
again"
And SO it came about that the unique
and most artistically ugly spoons came
into the possession Of Mr.. j., who de-
clares that they are the handsomest
berry spoons that he ever saw.-Bos-
