An Interesting Address.

The Hon. John NJ. Langston addressed
temperance meeting at the Fifteenth

from the drink habit. He told of many
incidents of Congressional intemperance
and urged the absolute avoidance of al
cohol. lie did not approve even of the
use of alcoholic beverages for medicinal
purposes.
Thcmusical feature of the meeting was

and hymns being rendered by the tenn

Scripture reading was by Miss q. \.

Tahry for a Dinner,

Did you ever give dog taffy9 That
is what amuses Broadway loungers and
the noted white bull terrier of the blind
man on the corner A wag and the dog
and the blind man and the taffy drew
great crowd the other evening. The
half masticated stuff stuck in the bright
animals jaws, and his fruitless efforts
to bolt it or to get his foot on it or to
dispose of it in some way were comical
and caused intense delight among his
audience. His dilemma did not pre-
vent him from selling all he could get.
just as he had securely stuck his
teeth together a passing poodle at
tracted his attention and he made the
usual jump, the length of his tether; but
his powerful jaws absolutely refused to
work. They had lost their snap. The
poodle stared at him with impudent
amazement, while the look of pain and
humiliation that passed over the ter
rier's face was almost human in ex-
preston. Samson waking up to find
his hair neatly barbered was nothing
to it.-New York Herald.

TRYING TO RECOVER.
Reports Telegraphed 0ni BY The

The Statesman's fire fake was
not telegrapbed TO the Oregonian,
but after the reaction IL sent this to
the associated press.
Salem's fire rating Of its business
property Is ciassed Ia what is known
as book two, the same as POrtland's
Ii was rumored that the agents ol
the Pacific Insurance Union were
here making new rate books, aud
would raise the rates, but this Is er-
rOueous. The surveyors are simply
making new survey preparatory
TO the issuance of new book, the
old minimum rate book being out of
print.
In its own editorial columns Sun
day morning it says:
There Is again talk Of fire in
surance rates on Salem business
risks being sent a few notches high.
er.
When It comes TO water-and lots
of it-for use IN case of fire, Salem il
decidedly prohi, But she is perhaps
no hi-er than the insurance risk
will be.
The story as told is not at all i'm
probable. 1t would be very easy
under existing circumstances, for
Salem to have fire as destructive
if not more so-than the imaginary
one.
BY these editorial expressions it
shows that it anticipated as the re
suit of its fake just exactly what
could be the only result ofinadequatt
fire facilities-a raise all around III
insurance rates.
1t is matter of congratulation for
our city that the Statesman has so
small circulation outside the city,
or the consequences might have
been more cruel. The greatest feor
was that the exchanges Nigh;
spread the news.
