Whiskex claims Another.

| About two o'clock this afternoon the
sound of pistol shot was heard coming
from one of the bedrooms of the Cosmo-
politan Hotel. A clerk ran up to room
43 where he found man lying on the
floor besides the bed while the blood
gushed from wound directly in the
middle of his forehead and his brains
scattered on the carpet. A A caliber
six shooter lay beside him with three of
the chambers empty. A nearly full
flask OF whiskey was on the stand at
the bed head and the smell emanating
from the unconscious form of the suicide
indicated that the man must have been
under the influence of liquor when the
deed was done. Enquiry soon discov-
cred the fact that the mans name was
Lacey and that he came to the The
Dalles from Antelope county where he
has been engaged at sheep herding and
other similar employment for the pas
two years. He has been in the city
since last Saturday, all the time drink
ing more or less heavily. He claimed
yesterday to one of our citizens that he
had lost 500 since his arrival in gamb-
ling. A letter was found on his person
which read as follows

To aUhom 1t may interest
The saying that no one commits
suicide unless temporarily insane think
can be refuted in my case. The problem
of existence is too much for me OF am
for it, which amounts to the same thing.
Whiskey has been my master for years
and the longer live the more absolute
its control is. have not the will power
to resist it, SO L am going to take this
means OF putting an end of a life that /
have lost all interest in. l hope if there
is merciful God as my christian friends
tell me, that he will not inquire too
closely into misspent life Ny rela-
tions do not want to hear of my
untimely death so I will not say any
thing about them. And now friends
goodbye, think kindly of me if you can.
r. I. LACEY,
The Dalles, Oregon.
Lacey is a man of medium height,
about twenty-six years of age, with
dark hair and light brown mustache.
He had no money nor valuables on his
person. 1t is said he has a good horse
in one of the livery stables. He was
respectfully clothed and wrote a fine
hand. He is still alive as we go to press
but DIR. Hollister who is in attendance
says he cannot possibly survive half an
hour.

Human Vanity to Human Misery.

DIR. Stellwag, the famous occulist,
while lecturing to the students at
Vienna recently, told pretty story
of Dom Pedro of Brazil. He said
that he had many opportunities of
conversing with the ex-Emperor, a
man of the highest character and of
great culture, whose heart and mind
was always filled with plans for
improving the condition of his peo-
pie. II was one of his dearest wishes
to have a big hospital at Rio, but he
lacked the money wherewith to build
il, and the wealthy could not be in
duced 10 subscribe. Then an idea
came to hir1 and he began to bestow
titles. A man who was willing to
give good round sum to the hospi-
tai could call himself count WIS.,
COUNT or "baron." The patent of
nobility was not hereditary, and If
children wished to inherit the fathers
title they had To pay over again. Rio
was suddenly peopled with mobiles,
and the hospital was built on grand
scale. When was completed. Dom
Pedro had the following inscription
placed over its gates: "Vanitas HUI
mana, Miseriae Humanar'-Human

SOME OLD SUPERsTITIONs REGARD
ING THE CUP OF TEA.

Here are few old superstitions re-
garding the ever-friendly cup that cheers,
says the NeU York AdcertiSer:-
If while the tea is being made and the
lid, which has been removed to pour in
the water, is forgotten, it is sure sign
that some one will "drop in to tea.''
If single person happens to have two
spoons in his or her saucer it is predic-
ton that the fortunate Tor unfortunate,
drinker of that particular cup will be
married within year from that date.
If you put cream in your cup before
the sugar it will ''cross your love- so be
very careful.
If tea stalk floats in the cup it is
called "beau," and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and ronnd,
and then hold the spoon upright in the
center of the cup.
If the "beau' is attracted to the spoon
and clings to it he will be sure to call
very shortly, if not the same evening;
but if the stalk goes to the side of the
cup he will not come.
Examine the tea leaves in your cup if
you are plebeian enough to boil your tea
instead of drawing it in the refined and
dainty fashion, for lot of leaves means
money and fortune.
If you want to know how many years
will elapse before you may expect to be
married balance your spoon on the edge
of your cup, first noting that it is per-
fectly dry, fill another spoon partly with
tea, and, holding it above the balanced
spoon, let the drops of tea gather to the
tip of the spoon and gently fall in the
bowl of the one below. Count the drops
each one stands for year.
1t is a sign of fair weather if the clus-
ter of small air bubbles formed by the
sugar collect and remain in the center of
the cup. If they rush to the sides it will
surely rain before night.
When the toast is made three or four
thin slices of bread must be cut the whole
length of the loaf and placed one over the
other. This done, they must all be cut
in half with one sweep of the knife. If
this is done by young women and the
slices are not served clean through to the
plate she will not be married within the
year; if the bread parts in two even
heaps she might as we'll order her trOus-
sedu. On no account must she take the
last piece of toast or bread on the plate
unless she wishes to be an old maid.

each of the colonists has from one to
several hundred dollars saved which is
entrusted to Seamore's keeping. The
money is loaned out at substantial rates
of interest and on approved security
only until the owner has accumulated
his fortune" when it is called in and
converted into European coin and bank
notes. As soon thereafter as possible
the fortunate Armenian shakes Ameri-
can dust from his feet and HES himself
across the ocean to his own beloved
Armenia.
Next to Seamore in rank is H. Paronna-
gian. That is the correct way of SPELL
ing it, for Peter wrote it. Peters writ
ing is little better than his English,
but not much. Paronnagian is the pas
tor of the colony and is said to be a well
educated person. he conducts religious
services every Sunday and the colonists
attend in body. At night during the
autumn and winter months he devotes
his time to instructing the more ambi-
tious of his flock into the mysteries of
the English language.
The Armenians from all accounts con-
duct themselves in a peaceful manner.
Some of them work at night and put in
their leisure moments during the after
moons lounging about the neighborhood,
but they seldom modest anybody. On
the contrary blocking by themselves"
seems to be a race characteristic.

COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.

Although country editors are nearly
always poor, there are plenty of persons
who believe that half the paragraphs in
country newspaper are paid for with
enormous brides. There are always two
sides to every question, and whichever
side an editor falls on, the partizans of
the other accuse him of being bought. !"
1t is little wonder, therefore, that the
editor is seldom popular man: never
knew one who was, and l never knew
one who was not often accused unjustly.
Probably the people believe in brides to
editors because it is very rare editor
who does not accuse his opponent of be-
ing bribe-taker, creating a prejudice
against themselves and their calling
Lazy and incompetent editors nearly
always explain the success of their more
vigorous opponents by declaring that
they carry on a system of black-mail L
once visited a large city, the newspapers
of which 1 had long admired almost
with reverence, and was surprised to
hear citizen say that what the city
really needed was better papers; they
would bring eastern capital" Every
citizen of a country town wants his To-
cality "boomed,' to the end that he may
sell his fifty-dollar lot for five hundred:
he can appreciate how really good pa
per might aid him in this, and because
his lot does not advance in value as he
thinks it should, he has a grievance
against the editor. He longs for an ed
itor with some "snap" in him. don't
know what 'snap" means, but know
this is the quality usually thought to be
lacking. There are more great men in
every country town than really exist in
entire nation, and if they are not recog-
nized, the local papers are ofno account.
was once bothered a good deal by
certain man who said he could clean
more chickens in an hour than any other
chicken-cleaner in the world, and he
wanted the fact mentioned. Men who
are never suspected of greatness by other
people accuse themselves of it to the
editors, and when they refuse to men
ton this greatness, they are told that
their columns contain great deal of
stuff not half so interesting. 1t has oc-

A PECULIAR PEOPLE.

An Armenian is a difficult person to in
terview, that is for an English-speaking
man. Troy has colony of Armenians,
or rather of Armenians and Sicilians
mixed. 1t is impossible to distinguish
one from the other as far as appearances
60. The colony is located in Reads
alley, between Ferry and Pine streets.
The west side of the alley is occupied by
a row of one and twO-story brick and
frame buildings. In five of these the
Armenians and Sicilians live A repre-
sentative Of this paper found his way
into the midst of the colony this morn
ing.
The colony numbers 120 souls. OF
these only three or four can speak Eng
hsh. One of the three or four
is Peter Giroogian. Peter after a
fifteen minutes search was found and
the pumping process applied. Peters
English is not complete success. In
fact unless it was labelled it wouldn't be
known as English at all The first
query put to the Armenian was as to the
number forming the colony. Said Peter:
me notta understand"
Then another occupant of the alley
was appealed to. He was an Armenian
and understood. From him it was
learned that the colony contained 100
persons, only fifteen of whom were
Armenians. The remainder were Assy-
rians and Turks. Until three or four
weeks ago there was only one woman in
the colony. Now there are three, the
other two being mother and daughter,
the latter rather pretty girl of 16.
There are also two younger children,
both boys. The colony began to form
five or six years ago and has steadily in
creased until it is now one of the largest
in the country. 1t has outgrown Reads
alley and its members are to be found on
Fifth avenue and Ferry streets and in
rickety tenements on other streets adj
joining.
The men are employed in various
ways OOIlC WIN dI IlC OllOCiJ
shops, others at the iron and steel mills
and a number at tho Malleable iron
works. Some of them are engaged at
the effeminate occupation of sewing col
lar and shirt bands. They live like the
poorer class of Italians in the larger
cities and spend no more than is abso-
lutely necessary to sustain life, their
principal ambition being to save enough
of their earnings to enable them to re-
turn to their native land wealthy" As
this requires only the modest sum of
$1,000 or $1,000 it will be seen that they
are not striving after the unattainable.
The king of the colony bears the name
of John Seamore. The cognomen is
American enough to suit the most patrio-
tic. Seamore is employed at the Gilbert
car works. He is the financial man of
the colony and acts as banker. His po-
sition is more than an honorary one, for
