The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for the
production of everything that will o n
luce to the material welfare and comfort
of mankind are almost unlimited and
when Syrup of Figs was first produced
the world was enriched with the only
perfect laxative known, as it is the only
remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop
ular it becomes.

A Union Gentlewoman.
Miss G;ruudy'sIctter.


WAsHINGTov CRY, March 30.-Miss
Margaret Loughborough, another white
haired lady of particularly gentle and
elegant manners, is the only perman-
ent guest of the Louise home who enjoys
the Distinguishing title of "a Union
Woman" She was daughter of the late
Nathan Loughborough, q gentleman of
the old school who served in official life
during the administration of Madison and
jefferson. He was a lifelong intimate
friend of Mr.. Corcoran, and when his
daughter late in life needed home, she
was personally invited by the founder to
reside here. 1t is little wonder that this
delicate and refined woman of nearly
80, dwelIs with special warmth on the
great kindness and generosity of
the liberal founder. Nor does she
vince at the name Union Wo-
man." but relates with quiet
satisfaction that it was this fact alone, her
own and her fathers loyalty to the Union,
that enabled her at the close of the war to
obtain a government position and thereby
aid her impoverished friends in the South.
Grasslands, which had descended to Ma
than LOughbOrough, at his death became
the property of his son, who in turn sold
it during the Cleveland administration to
Secretary Whitney. Miss Loughborough's
room at the home is filled with quaint bits
of furniture, handsome pieces of silver
China and bric-a-brac, relics Of the old
home, and here she hopes to remain until
the end. Happier" she said, ethan
fathers"

LONDON, April 3-The creation of the
commonwealth of Australia by the fedora
ton convention at Sydney is barely
noticed in the papers today, which fail to
recognize its importance. The Star grasps

copied the constitution Of the United
States. avoiding defects and evils.
Australia will accordingly be democratic
federation and practically republic. A
delicate task devolves on the queen-the
appointing of a governor general Austria
liza will not accept titled nonentity. A mis-
take in the choice would endanger the con-
nection between the mother country and
new federation. When everything is ripe for
declaring independence and the election of
president, the convention adopted the
clause of the constitution providing the
chief executive Of the federation shall be
known as governor and shall be appointed
by the queen. The proposition for the
governor general to be elected by popular
vote was rejected

Canada Independent Of America.

PARIS, April BIN an interview Mer-
cier, the Canadian delegate, explained that
with the object of counteracting the
United States tariff he had negotiated q
loan for 81. O0o, 600 for conversion of the
internal debt and development of railways
and other resource. He would study the beet
sugar industry of Belgium and Germany
to apply the same system to the Dominion.
Hc would consult the French government
and Chamber of Commerce regarding the
exchange of French wines for Canadian
timber. He had q contract with the
Societe Hippique to export to France
horses bred in Canada in exchange
for French stations. Far seeing
Canadians considered the Mckinley law
a blessing as it tended to help the Domin-
ion in achieving complete commercial
emancipation. He thought some day in
the future Canada would perhaps attain
independence by a pacific agreement with
England. No serious Canadian dreamed
of annexation with the United States.
English papers which presumed the exis.
tence of an annexation party talked with
out knowledge.

Inspection Of Buildings.

NKw YORK, April 3.-Representatives OF
the American Institute Of Architects, the
National Association of Builders, the
National Association of Building In
spectors, the National Board of Under
writers, and the National Association OF
Fire Engineers convened in this city to-
day to jointly frame model building
ordinance. A subcommittee appointed
deemed it impracticable at present to
draw up detailed building ordinance.
Some OF the recommendations are: That
the legislatures of the various states
should establish state building laws gov
erning the construction Of buildings in all
Incorporated cities; that there should be a
separate department for the inspection of
buildings, whose officers should be ap-
pointed for long terms by the local execu-
tive; that aside from special local codes, a
general law should contain rules that. all
buildings over seventy feet high must be
built of incombustible material. Further
recommendations are made for the safety
of human life in buildings.

CHICAGO, April 3.--Edward McMahon
created . sensation by rushing into st.
Vincent's orphan asylum tonight, and de-
manding his 4-year-old child. The infant
is heir to 5000, and has become the sub
ject Of bitter feud between the father and
his relatives, who are displeased with him
for re-marrying to divorced woman. The
baby has been suffering of late
from systematic arsenical poisoning,
and both parties to the feud accuse each
other of contemplated murder for the sake
of the inheritance. The child has been in
the asylum only a few days, having been
placed there on the advice of Probate
Judge Kohisaat, when evidence of the
poisoning was laid before him. The
Sisters of st. Vincent called in the police
tonight and had Mcmahon elected. Tho
Mcmahon family is wealthy, and the case
in its various phases has excited great in
dignation.

CATHLAMEr, April 3.--[ Special. REV. e.
G. Hughes, representing the Peoples Traf-
fic Association, is making . canvas of the
Columbia river towns to get support for .
rival line of boats to the Union Pacific.
This movement is caused by the hoggish
policy of that corporation. Passenger and
freight rates have been advanced. Free
wharfage is afforded their boats at inter-
mediate points between Portland and As
tcria, but until threats of reprisal were
made, the season of 1891 was started in
without giving the customary compliment
tary passes to wharf owners. Astoria and
local shippers are making common cause,
and propose to make Jay Gould sip sor-
row with . long spoon.
G. C. Love, of Portland, has just COM
pleted starting a lodge of the Ancient
Order Of United workmen at this place,
which materialized with twenty members.
Another lodge will shortly be started at
Skamokawa.
A petition has been forwarded to Wash
ington for the establishment of a postofiice
at Eureka, and The appointment of
Thomas Scotchler as postmaster.
A petition will be presented to the
county commissioners at their next meet
ing to allow boulevard to be constructed
along the ridge overlooking the Columbia,
from the old town of Cathlamet to Birnie's
addition. This is a fine site. for making a
beautiful drive, which would serve as a
material attraction to the summer Wis
itors.
Cannerymen are making preparations to
put up q large portion of their this years
pack in fiat cans. A limited quantity Of
choice fish was put up in this way last
season, and there is strong demand in
the market for more at good prices.
S. H. Miller has been appointed deputy
for this county by Fish Commissioner
Crawford.
Early this winter potatoes were quoted
at $l.40 sack. At present the price has
dropped to IS cents. Farmers make the
mistake here every year of boarding away
their potatoes in the fall, waiting for a
fabulous price. A good price is offered,
but the great majority hang out for more,
and the consequence is that when they
throw their stock on the market in the
spring it is glutted, and, besides loss from
rottage, shrinkage, etc., less price is OBJ
tanned than was offered after the harvest
Hon. E. C. Hunter, the new superior
judge for the Seventh district, will hold
court at Cathlamet on the 18th of this
month.

Italian War Scare Offsets the
Good Crop Reports.
a Better DIVIDEND OUTLOOK.


NEW York, April ESPECIAL BRAD
streets says: sIrregularity and dizziness
continued to be the predominant features
Of the share market. At the same time
the unfavorable news seemed to produce
very little impression on prices, and the
market at times displayed tendencies Of an
advancing character which were very sug-
gestive of underlying strength. The reop-
ening of the foreign markets after their
extended Easter vacation did not bring
with it any increase of interest from that
quarter in this market In fact, one Of the
most disturbing elements during the early
portion of the week was the indefinite ru-
mors of further financial complications in
Paris growing out of Argentine entangle-
ments.
The diplomatic incidents connected with
the withdrawal Of the Italian minister at
Washington City also seemed to have q
momentary effect on the position of Amer.
lean securities abroad. At any rate foreign
participation in our share market was
extremely limited and was mainly in the
direction of selling. This in turn af-
fected the foreign exchange market, and
though the fear of gold exporters
does not have such an unsettling effect,
the actual engagement of 81. 100000 gold
for shipment today necessarily tended to
suppress the bullish manifestation. On
the other hand, the crop prospects and the
influences seem effective in main
tanning the belief that better
conditions in railroad affairs, with a
corresponding improvement in share
values, are to be expected. Reports on the
condition of the winter wheat are ex-
tremely favorable, and it is argued that
high prices and the large European de-
mand for our cereals will stimulate an
early crop movement, which would in
crease railroad tonnage and earnings.
The demand for all grades of wool has
been weak. Manufacturers have bought
heavily since the first of the year and are
now well supplied. Activity in Australian
woods is not so marked. Domestics are re-
ported to be very quiet, and sales are
small. Arrivals of foreign woods have been
heavy, and it will take lower
prices to. dispose of inferior grades.
Reports received from the coming clip
all point to large supply. There is suf-
fcient wool in the market 70 supply manu-
facturers until it arrives. Values of first
class woods have not changed during the
week, though an easier feeling is noted in
some grades. Ohio feeces and pulled
woods are dull. Dealers are now offer
ing concessions in Ohio x and Xxx.
Territories and Texas woods are quieter.
Stocks of these woods are so light that
holders feel no necessity to press sales at
present. There is continued fair inquiry
for unwashed and understandable woods.
Quotations in carpet woods are being held
very firm by dealers, but the demand is not
strong, and the distribution is light.
