man caught in the attempt of setting
fire to buildidg in The Dalles at this
moment would not be worth the snuff of
a candle, and ten times the regular force
of officers could not save him. And this
is just as it should be. There is no
place on the Almighty's footstool where
the miscreant ought to be allowed to
live who would deliberately and malic-
iously start fire that would leave hun
dreds of women and children homeless
and penniless, and be the occasion if not
the cause of the loss of valuable and
precious human lives. One thing is
certain, the climate of The Dalles will
for some time be very unhealthy for
tramps and thugs, and as they them
selves value their worthless lives they
had better steer clear of here.

A Woman Summoned as Juror.

I don't think it is generally known
that woman was recently summoned
as juror in st. Louis The lady took
the matter very philosophically and at
tended court promptly, only, of course,
to receive the apologies of all concerned.
This was the elimination of series of
blunders which have occurred from
time to time, and to prevent the possibil-
ity of which canvass will soon be
made. Summoning a man to act as a
juror in two courts at the same time has
been done more than once, while some
men boast that they were never called
upon to serve on jury, and although
there must be something close to 100, 900
able bodied and competent jufSrs in this
city, aged and exempt persons are con-
stantly called upon But that lady
juror capped the eclimax.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

The assessor of Umatilla county some
time ago sent circular letter to every
mortgage holder in the county. whose
name appeared on the records, in order
to obtain information regarding any of
the mortgages that might have been paid
in whole or part. Some four or FIVE hun
dred replies have been received and as a
result the assessor has checked off from
the mortgage transcript $163, ,179 in mort
cages, some of which were paid four or
FIVE years ago, but which according to
the law had to be placed on the roll
every year. Wasco county could copy
the example of Umatilla with great
profit.

An exchange quotes approvingly the
apothegm, "Low taxes signifies an in
telligent people" That depends. Low
taxes may signify moss backism. A
community content to get along without
public improvements may have a tax
rate low enough to be exactly proper
tionate to their lack of intelligence. A
school district that refuses to levy a five
mill tax for educational purposes in or
der to reduce taxation, is case in point.
The town of Milton did not display re-
markable intelligence when it refused
the other day to vote for an increased
tax that would have given them better
school facilities besides a new water sys-
tenn and an electric: light plant. If low
taxes always meant high intelligence
then the savage in his native wild ought
to be the most intelligent man in the
world.

GENERAL PERSONAL MENTION.

Oscar Wilde frankly entities his new
book study of christianity from the
Outside" Some who considers them
selves in it could give only rear view of
the subject.
The oldest jockey on the tnrf, and still
one of the best of them, is William
Hayward, who rode Preakness in the
famous dead-heat race for the Saratoga
cup in 1875. He lives at Eatonvilie,
New Jersey.
Gray hairs continue to crowd about
the temple of Will S. Hays, editor, poet
and song writer, but his ebony mustache
is resplendent with youth and vigor.
He writes better than Joe Howard, of
New York, and tells more truth.
Oliver Wendell Holmes enters his SD
year with his characteristic good humor
and cheerfulness unabated. The genial
"autocrat," who thought it "better to be
20 years young than 40 years DID," has
the same feeling as to his eighties, ex-
cept that partial failure of his eyesight
causes him some trouble.
The late empress Augusta of Germany
was very rigid in her oppositions to be-
ing photographed. There is, however, a
picture to he seen in the shops of Berlin
representing a group of theroyal family,
with the Empress Augusta seated on the
left, holding abook up so as to hide from
view her imperial features.
Captain George Dewey, of the navy,
has lived for the last five years with only
half liver. The other half was cut of
by an italian surgeon while Captain
Dewey was lying i'll from liver disease al
Malta in 1866. From the day the opera.
ton was performed his health began to
improve, and he. has enjoyed life ever
since.
The Countess of Caithness, the new
high priestess of theosophy, is the exact
antithesis. of her predecessor, Blayat-
sky. Her figure is slender, her man
ners elegant and her tastes refined. She
dresses in great taste. Her only resem.
'biance to Blavatsky lies in her fondness
for diamonds, but that is pardonable
womaply weakness.

rhe poems OF Fashion.

The poetic diction of the ladies who
condescend for consideration = to
write concerning the fashions is some
thing to wonder at. We are told this
year that t'the summer underlinen now
being shown in the shop windows is
simply a dream of soft, deliccse confec-
tions in silk and lace" And it is further
specified that there are accordion plait-
ed nightgowns, falling in creamy rifles
from neck to toes, and accordion plated
petticoats as light as air." It is the year
Of weddings, and the getting together Of
a trousseau of underclothing of this fan
tastic and ethereal sort must have been
keen delight to the feminine soul.

LET VAGRANTS AND THUGS BE.
WARE.

There can scarcely be reasonable
doubt that some of the four disastrous
fires we have had in the short period of
four and half days had their origin in
incendiarism. 1t is in fact unreasonable
to suppose that four fires should have
occurred in SO short a time and two of
them within few hours of each other
without extraneous aid particularly, as
not one of them can be accounted for in
any ordinary way. 1t is the history of
all great city fires that the scene of the
calamity soon becomes the rendezvous of
all the thugs and toughs for miles
around. It was SO in the great Chicago
fire, and so here. There is not doubt
in the world that gang of thieves made
away with everything they could possi-
bly, carry off, and did this nearly as fast as
the generous-hearted express-men, who
gave their services for nothing, could
carry it to place of supposed safety. It
is even rumored that boats were en-
ployed on the river to carry stuff rescued
from the flames over to the Washington
side, and that wagons left the city loaded
down with plumber, and the supposition
is perfectly reasonable. In no other
way can it be accounted for that many
things that the owners knew were car.
ried to the edge of the river should have
disappeared as if by magic. Be that as
it may, the mass meeting of yesterday
was significant of very serious conse-
quences likely to follow the presence in
our midst, any longer, of men who can
not give satisfactory account of them
selves. There is no mistaking the spirit
of the people at this hour. The life of =

nearly every county in Oregon has had

The little village of Lostine, wallowa
county, suffered quite loss from fire
last Saturday evening. Someone set
fire to the livery stable of J. v. Luttrell,
which was consumed with all its con-
tents, including what feed there was in
it. The loss is estimated at about $500,
partially covered by insurance.

A COMMITTEE OF SAFETY HERE.

While the citizens have every conf
'dence in the ability of the mayor and the
officers of the law to detect and pun
ish crime, and while they hope that the
dernier resort of lynch law will not have to
be resorted to, these considerations have
not prevented them, as we are well as
sured, from forming themselves into a
committee of safety which will supple
ment every proper effort to detect and
punish crime and to drive criminals
from our midst.

She squelohed Him and Then wept.

She Squelched Him and Then Went.
1t was a broiling, blistering, swelter
ing hot day. Every man in the car wort
wilted collar and had cinder in hii
eye. There seemed to be nothing or
earth to do but to wipe your streaming
race and swear. AtTwenty-third street
there came into the car girl,as fresh
and cool as nosegay of sweet peas In 6
shower bath of dew Not a man bui
stared at her In respectful delight an6
felt cooler and better natured But one
feilow IN the corner, a poor, misshapen
wltnered up chap, with one foot in
brace, stared too long. You knew she
didn't like 1t by the way the pink deep
ened In her cheeks and the white teeth
shut into the full red lower lip.
Finally she looked up at him, with thai
grave, steady light in her eyes, as only
good woman can look when she doesn't
want any nonsense. That kind of a re-
buke usually makes a man so ashamed
OF himself he can't look himself in the
face for week. But the individual re-
turned the look with a bold, insulting
glance, before which the steady eyes fall
tered and fell and the red famed up in
her cheeks. Feeling his ewes still upon
her, suddenly she looked up again. not
into the mans face, which was fairly
good to see, but coolly over his extremi-
ties, as much as to say: ssYou poor wretch,
who are you, with your miserable SEM
blance of manhood, to think woman
would firt with you? What mistake
you are, anyway
Well, the fellow was pretty lame, hut
old Mercury, with his winged sandals,
couldn't have hustled out of that car any
quicker than he did, and at the first sta
ton sneaked off the platform.
And the girl-well, in minute she
was sitting up very straight, with lips
that looked as if they wanted to culver,
and bright, shining eyes, and on the
cinders in her lap were two round, wet
spots.
Girls are the queerest creatures in the
world anyway. It was wicked thing,
of course, but she had to do it. And
the idea Of feeling sorry afterward,-
