(which Jockey Shall Ride


(which Jockey Shall Ride" is
the title of timely representa-
ton of an important local question
in late number of the West Shore.
The scene is race course; the
bulletin board upon the judges
stand announces the ''Great Free
for all, 1S9O-19OO." Oregon is
represented by an ambitious racer
and there are two candidates for
his mount. One is an intelligent
looking young jockey with "Enter-
prise" imprinted upon his colors.
The other is q decrepit old man
whose rounded shoulders bear a
heavy weight of moss. One eye
is blinded by the "Usury Law;;n
his arm has been badly crippled by
the "Mortgage Tax Law" '.False
Economy has given him rheuma-
tlsm in the knee joint, and his pro-
gress has been further impeded by
large bundle of unequal assess
ments attached to his. left foot.
Each is to be weighed upon the
scales of Public Opinion when
a decision will be rendered as to
(Which Jockey Shall Ride.''

ing lively move in the way of
doing something toward having
the state properly represented at
the worlds fair. The commission
ers appointed to look after Ore
CONS interests in the fair will
doubtless strive to do their duty
and did they possess every quail
fication for their positions, they
could still do but little compared
with the amount of labor necessary
to make this states display what
it ought to be. If we can not
arouse the people to a realization
of the magnitude of the worlds
fair and of Oregon's capabilities,
it would be better that we do
nothing. A poor representation
would absolutely defeat the object
for which it was intended. The
possible attractiveness and excel
lence of Oregon's display can not
be exaggerated, although it will
require time, energy, brains, and
money for their accomplishment.
Have we these requisites? Can
we obtain them? We have the
time-let us begin at once; we
have the energy and brains-let
us enlist them; we can obtain the
money-let us do SO.
The prevalent idea is that local
boards of trade take the initial
steps in the matter, but their ef-
forts must be backed by the en-
thusiasm of the people. Let us
insist that it be not necessary to
hammer this worlds fair idea into
the conception of individuals.
The possibility of making a dis
play that will command the atten-
ton of thousands day after day,
during the progress of the fair, is
clear, although it is saying much
in consideration of the efforts
which are now being made by other
states and countries. 1t is true
that we have mossbacks; they en-
tertain patriotic feeling for their
state; they want to see Oregon
prosper in the highest degree, but
now, as in the early days, they
have SO much faith in the benef-
icence of Oregon soil that they
are content to allow nature to take
Its course. True, nature has been
almost the sole factor in the ad-
vancement of our state, but let US
hereafter direct her energies by
intelligent effort, and by proper
representation of Oregon's re-
sources and institutions at the
worlds fair place our common
wealth in the position to which she
is entitled among the states which
are now claiming the attention of
capitalists and home e-seekers.

ernor Robinson, enc OF the old granite pill
lars Of the commonwealth, and a daughter
Of Gen. James I. Robinson Her father
was a brigadier general in h late ysar.
and has always been prominently identi-
fed with the history OF the state. He is
the most conspicuous turfInan in Ken
lucky, being president Of the Kentucky as
ISOLATION. He was also predecessor Of the
late William CassiUs Goodloe as internal
revenue collector Of the Seventh district.
His daughter is "a rich bruno" beauty-a
nut brown maid, -" with delicately chiseled
features and dusky hair, that clusters about
her brow and temples and the uape OF the
shaPely neck in tondcrest lovelocks. In
her manner turks Il sort Of COquettish def
ance, which adds a piqancy to her rianta
lOveliness and makes her As witching Il
maid as was ever mans undoing.
A superb type of wOmauhood is Mrs.
Genevicvc Morgan Mulligan. One hest
tates where to fix his admiration in her
case, his allegiance compelled equally by
her beauty, her intellectually and that
subtle charm Of manner that subjugates
even apart from the other attributes. She
is a poet, an artist, a philosopher, and yet
womanly past question, with "A tender,

second matrimonial venture was with X.
d. McFerran, a wealthy Louisyillian, from
whom she obtained a divorce after a brief,
unhappy marital experience. She is a
miracle Of loneliness, all graced, summed
up and closed in little" She is not tall,
and her figure is OF a rounded slenderness.
Her face Is tinted like a bit OF Dresden
china, with n fun OF brown gold hair
about 1t. She delights in filling her luxu-
rious Blue Grass home with gay company,
among whom she herself is the animating
spirit.
One of the greatest toasts and beauties
the state has ever known is Miss Maggie
II. Clay, Of Bourbon county. Wherever
she may be, on promenade, in church, in
bail room or opera box, eyes turn TO her
and linger, under the subtle magnetism of
her beauty.
To doubt her fairness were 70 want an eye;
To doubt her pureness wero To want a heart
And those who know her best say that
the pureness and sweetness OF her chArac-
ter, untainted through the adulation Of a
lifetime, is the browning glory TO her
charm. She has held queenly sway in the
states gay capital in Louisville and at
many fashionable resorts, and has said
Nay, nayl' to as long a train Of signing
SWANS as ever maiden lured to desperA-
ton. Exclaimed the other day a strange
in Paris, rs he caught q glimpse OF Miss
Clay from a car window: Tell me quickly,
who is that beautiful womani" On being
told he fell back in his seat and exclaimed,
with fervent emphasis; Her face is simply
heavenly"
The contrast between the rose leaf fair
ness of her face and her eyes, which have
caught the starry black of midnight, gives
a rare type to her loneliness. The white
ness Of her brow is intensified by the dusky,
soft hair above it, while the irregularity OF
nose and mouth is Just enough TO lend the
ensemble tina touch that beauty needs-to
win.
Miss Ruth Stanton has that indefnable
possession, ''le beaute du diable." The
youth, the freshness and the gay sponta-
neity Of her nature lend her n charm as
great as that she owes to gray blue eyes,
ripe lips, a healthy English glow and a
nose Tip tilted like a flower" She is one

A Modern Need for Sleep.

There is not one man or woman in ten
thousand who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and women
who slept only three or four hours a night
make very interesting reading; but l tell
you, my readers, no man or woman ever
yet kept healthy in body and mind for a
number of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more sleep
than they are getting. This lack makes
them so nervous and the insane asylums so
populous. II you can get to bed early
then rise early. II o cannot get to bed
till late then rise late. 1t may be as
Christian for one man to rise at s as it is
for another to rise at 8. l counsel my
readers TO get up when they are rested.
But let the rousing bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public appear
ance. Physicians say that a sudden Jump
out of bed gives irregular motion to the
pulse. 1t takes hours to get over a too
sudden rising. Civ us time after you call
us to roll over, gaze at the world full in
the face and look before we leap.-T. De

LARGE BARN BURNED.

 With Disastrous Results.

A Boiler in Farmers Barn E1pIodes
 With Disastrous Results.
 WIILIMANTIc, October 31.-About 8 o'clock last night the people in the farm ing district of Wormwood Hill, in the town of Manson, were startled by terri. fc explosion which was heard for several miles around. Immediately after the explosion flames were seen issuing from the large barn of Charles Jacobson situ- ated on his farm on the top of the hill. The structure was quickly enveloped in flames and was soon burned to the ground. It was well stocked with farm produce and also contained two horses. fifty ton of hay and number of calves and pigs. The calves and pigs were saved but every thing else was consumed. Jacobson made desperate effort to save the horses and was badly burned on the head, face and neck in the attempt. The hair was singed from his head and face. He will be laid up for some time with his injuries. There was an insur- ance of $1, ,150 on the barn and contents which were valued at $1 300. Mir Jacob son had boiler in the barn which was used for cooking feed for the cattle. This exploded for some cause unknown and set fire to the barn. The flames made such rapid headway that the [neighbors who went to the assistance of Jacobson were powerless to save any of l the property.

THE DANGER OF ILLUMINATE.
One Explanation of the Bridgeport
 Explosion.

One Explanation of the Bridgeport
 Explosion.
 The true cause of the explosion in the illuminate house of the Union Metallic Cartridge company at Bridgeport a week ago will probably never be definitely known. The only one who could throw light on it is the man who performed the dangerous work and who was killed. Many explanations have been made. the most reasonable of which is the follow ing, given by an employee of the com pany:
 In the manufacture of the explosive used considerable portion of very finely ground glass is mixed. The glass IS sifted through fine sieve upon the other ingredients, the compound being ready for use as soon as the glass has been thoroughly mixed in. The sieve is used to prevent any but the minutest particles from minghng with the other material, as an explosion would surely result If any piece larger than powder should happen to drop upon the dangerous com' pound.
 It is supposed that, by some accident, a small piece of glass, that usually was stopped, passed through or fell out of the sieve, and in the mixing which followed, caused the terrific explosion. The worst feature of the affair is the fact that an accident of this kind is liable to occur at any moment, and cannot be guarded against.
