gerously shot. A night or two afterward
Officers Book and Gibson halted a lad who
was walking along the Northern Pacific
track.
They found stolen watch in his pockets
and at the station it developed that the
'he" was a ''she." The girl, after being
locked up sent written message to "HenrJ
Miller" and thus unwittingly put her com.
panion in the clutches of the law. Miss
Forslund was provided with a complete
outfit of female clothes, but declined to
wear them save for a brief period, alleging
that they were uncomfortable. She is pas
sionately attached to Clark and also re-
CARDS him with fear, as she says he has
often threatened TO kill her if through her
means he ever got into trouble.
There are tinges of crime and romance
about the three preceding cases. The life
of Amber Glen Corley, who has taken to
fat instead of to foolishness, furnishes no
such material for the pen of the chronicler
or moralist. She is the daughter of
Charles and Maggie Corley of Birming-
ham, Ala, and though but five years old
weighs 100 pounds and is putting on flesh
at the rate of six pounds a month. As an
infant she was sickly and small and up TO
two years ago she could neither walk nor
talk. But since then she has developed
both mentally and physically with alb
normal rapidity.
Her strength is something remarkable
and she experiences no difficulty in lifting
her rather from the floor, although he
weighs 146 pounds. She visited Atlanta
the other day and at one meal devoured
two pounds of steak, half dozen eggs and
a quantity of bread and coffee. She has

The case of Editor E. J. Livernash oi
Livermore, Cal, will commend itself to
the study of scientists. Mr.. Livernash was
arrested the other afternoon whiie AT

cisco because he was attired in female gar
ments. He explained to the judge that ne
was sufferer from insomnia and subject
to hypnotic influences

Now had promised to meet a friend
in Livermore that evening. After / was
dressed in the woman's clothes in which
meant to play the joke upon my wife,
remembered my appointment, As l die
not intend to 90 to Livermore, it occurred
to me that as he would probably leave San
Francisco on the 4:30 o'clock boat l could
meet him at the ferry"
Mr.. Livernssh's physician, DR.. Robert
son, deposed that "he is one Of the most
pronounced instances of hypnotisnl that
ever came under my observation" Asked
to define his meaning of hypnotism be con
tinued: ''It is a thing generally misRnder-
stood. 1t is a condition Of trance which
may be induced by mesnerist, or may be
induced by the patient himself without
even the intention of doing So" He added
that Livernash would never have dressed
in woman's clothes If he bad been in the
complete possession of his faculties.
Later on he recited to a reporter the
strange case of the editors brother. Said
the doctor; "He was taken with an epilep-
tic ft not long ago, and it required SIX
men to hold him. He acted vindicsively
toward all six OF the men. but when he
came out of the ft he had no recollection
OF what had happened The next time he

A Quite THANKSGIVING.

however the streets were almost wholly

down Middle to Cross and thence to the
avenue" There were also about five
persons more or less unsteady on their
legs on different parts of Congress, but
otherwise all was peaceful and quiet.
One reason for the peace and quietness
that reigned in the city is perhaps to be
found In the fact that Deputies Plummer
and Sterling called at the Boston boat soon
after she came In and took charge of two
20-gallon kegs and ten boxes containing
from six to twelve bottles each, all con-

Standing Upon Merit.

The highest compliment possible for
people to offer in recognition OF accepted
honest effort was the throng which flocked
to Mission Hall last night to hear Mr..
Doutney read and his Colored Eclipse
Quartette. Mr.. Doutney gave mere and
better than the people expected. The hui
morous dialect readings and motto songs
by him were nicely rendered. He is
mimic of no mean order. His rendition of
a Tribute to Cold Water" was fine ora
torical effort. The Eclipse Colored Quar-
tette sang well. Their sketch, "Aunt
Hannah's Washing Day." representing me-
gro life in the South, was certainly most
wonderfully realistic 1t kept the large
audience in continuous roar of laughter
from beginning to end. 1t was a clear
rendition with an entire absence of yul-
garity. Tonight will be the farewell of
Mr.. Doutney and the quartette, when
another concertwil be given with a change
OF programme. The hall was crowded.
Even with that success there has been
barely enough received to pay the expenses
OF the work. tits to be hoped, therefore,
that large crowd will be present tonight,
not only to make up the difference, but al
so TO give Mr.. DOutney something for him
self for his labors here. The Rev. S. F.
Pearson commended his work in the high
est terms last night.

CONTRACT LABOR LAW.
Position of the Allan and DomIn-
lon Lines In the Matter.

There has been some agitation among
the longshoremen in regard to the employ
ment of Canadians by the Allan and
Dominion lines in the loading and unload
Ing og of their vessels. The United States
agent, Mr.. Elliott, has been investigating,
it is said. in accordance with instructions
from Washington where the Portland
Longshoremen's Benevolent Union made
complaints that the contract labor law was
being violated. Yesterday report got
around that the investigation might result
in considerable changes in the plans of the
companies in employing labor. But this
report seems to be without foundation.
Messrs. Barclay and Neal. who have
charge of the Allan stevedoring, and Mr..
Mills of the Dominion, were seen last
evening by a PRESS reporter. They said
the government agent had been investi-
eating; but they felt sure they were not
violating the law and that he would so
find. They bring clerks and four or five
stevedores to superintend work, as is nee
essary, just as they bring their managers.
But of longshoremen they do not bring
any, hiring whomsoever present them
selves. They are hiring mostly Portland
ers, but do not make any distinction In
hiring when good man presents himself.
There are about twenty Portlanders who
follow the steamers to Montreal working
there all summer and returning here
winters. Vice versa there are some Cana
dams who drift down here. But there is
nothing like the importing of laborers
under contract. This is in substance what
those who have charge of the work here
say. They feel very confident that they
are not violating the law, and that the law
was not intended for cases like theirs

SAILING OF THE SANDMAN.
An Unusually Large Cargo and a
Full Passenger List.

AT 3.55 p. m. yesterday the ssteamer Sar-

saw him take her out. The vessel was
loaded down to Plimsoll's mark, having an
unusually heavy ca rgo for the first trip, of
which the following are some of the
articles: 1892 bushels wheat, 1866
bushels peas. 1898 bbls. Canadian apples.
3,707 bbls. local apples, Is, 27O boxes cheese,
1853 cases eggs, 925 boxes butter, $50 cases
canned apples, 4SO boxes aud 10 bbls.

cricket team from West Ontario.
Thr Sandman carried 67 sacks of Cana
dian mail.
