Accident on an Elevator.

In one of New YOrk's largest hotels they
have three elevators ard OF course require
very powerful machinery to run them. One
of the guests who had gone TO the theatre,
fingered for nice little private spread at
Del's, aud as the steak WAS particularly good.
"you know" and his best girl in lovely
humor (who by the way was his wife) the
gentleman remained so long with bis charm
ing companion over his Mumm's. that when
he reached his hotel the colored attendant of
the elevator mad gone up stairs and falleninto
the arms of Murphy OF MorpIey, Pm not
sure which. Our friend believed in fresh cir
dns lived on the floor nearest the sky, so of
course news as disappointed to lind the elevator
closed for the night He muttered something
to his wife and gave wrench at the iron
door leading to the elevator Car. 1t opened
and he laughed, and although his wife AT nrst
refused TO enter, he finally prevailed and
chuckled to himself as the elevator started
upwards, 70 think how he Outdone the house,
and how the darkey's eyes would stand out in
the morning, when he found the elevator at
the top of the house. When they got to the
second door from the top our friend thought
he might as well try to slow up a Ii tie, but to
his astouIshmeDt he found he could not
cneck the uumauageable elevator. The pros.
pect of a drop of nine stories flashed before
his mind, also his wife's at the same instsnt:
result, q tremendous yell from the gent and d
shrill scream from the lady. The attention of
a gentleman on the floor below WAS attracted;
he jumbed to the elevator and giasped the
wire rope, holding with all his strength land
be was strong, as he had lived in Texas Tor
twelve yearsj and he finally brought the ele-
vstor to q stop Just in time, as il was found
on the following Gay that only one small
strand Of tho heavy steel wire remained in
act. but our neignbor5 were saved. They
were profuse in their thanks and when they
met the gentleman recognized their old
friend, J. NJ. Emerson of San Antonio, Texas,
Ia l. s. - L.,
hdence in Mr.. EneTson's firm that he would
wait until he went to San Antonio for the
earrings and baby buggy. Moral: If you
want anything cheap and good, go to Elmer
sons. Emerson keeps everything and you
will be- customer for life If you deal with
him once.

Improvement Of tho rheatsr.

Error long disabled the theater from
Offering pleasures which might be en-
joyed with self respect. but il Is inter
estingly noticeable that Of late the the
ater has been somewhat better advised,
and at the moment the newsstand has
begun to topple on the edge of the pit
the drama has been trying 10 climb out
of it. The theater Is still very coarse,
very shameless, but we think It has
really some impulses TO purge and live
cleanly, which ought 10 be encouraged
by all who know It's vast influence.
AS we have often said, II addresses
the weaker intelligences, and not the
cultivated, except on rare occasions.
But apparently the newsstand also ad-
dresses the weaker intelligences, and
the acted fiction has been growing NOR
ally better, while the printed fiction
has been growing morally worse, till
now there is much less 10 choose be-
tween them than there once was

LOTTERY MATTER.-Th
way the postoffice treats lottery
matter is peculiar. If a letter or
circular supposed to contain lottery
matter from other countries, it is at
once marked Supposed liable to
customs duty" The customs de-
partment at Portland is notified and
the party to whom it is addressed is
required to open it in the presence of
the officer and pay forty per cent. of
its value, besides being liable to
prosecution for receiving a lottery
ticket. The only safety is not re-
ceiving such matter at all. Consid-
erable comes to Salem from Canada,

A Citizen nisrnsses Paving.

A Cltlzen discusses PaVlng.
ED. JOURNAL: Salem Is now one
of the progressive cities Of the
northwest and is enjoying a pros
perty equal in proportion to our big
sister, Portland. There is an old
saying, let well enough alone and
don't overreach, but keep up inn.
provements step by step and success
is certain. There is an element
here, as In all other town who as
long as it dom cost them ANYTHING,
go advocating ideas entirely out of
reason.
We are now having u discussion
about improving streets. The own
ers of property abutting such streets
to be improved, with but few excep
tiuns, have approved plan of grad
ing, draining, gutterlug and curbing
Commercial street as far as Center,
aud State and Court as far as the
courthouse. This was a wise selec-
tion of streets, as that was enough
for a commencement without injury
to anyone. Now come some per
sons wanting bituminous rock, the
most expensive of all systems if done
as it ought to be. Others want
Belgian blocks. They contend that
gravel has been used for the last
thirty years, and has cost thousands
of dollars.
If these gentlemen will look ny
their cashbooks they will see they
never paid one dollar excepting by
roadwork, which naturally would
have to be paid anyway. Every
street supervisor had his own way
of dumping gravel, never having
any grade to go by, and of course
there could be no drainage. Now,
will any sane man say that streets
can be kept dry in that way during
our rainy season? We have as fine
streets naturally as any found in
this conntry, All we want is to
drain the water. Gravel is plenty
aud lies at our doors, but the trouble
is it is too cheap, aud there is no job
in il.
Some want Commercial street to
look like Washington street, Port.
land, a street just now partially
finished with bitumiuous rock.
Washington street is only 60 TO ours
100 feet. The cost there to lot of
% feet front would not be more than
$l75 to 5000, while here it would be
more than double that. Then
Washington street front foot com.
mands from $500 to $4,000, to Com
mercial $3.50. Rents from $500 tC
$500 per month; tor suite rooms
Commercial gets $50 to $50.
Others say, "East Portland streets
begin to look bad because they were
gravelied" o." 1t is the same old story;
they did it the same as we did here,
but they are putting it down right
now. They don't talk there of btu
minous rock, although much more
able to stand it than Salem. Be-
sides property owners are consulted
and not told how to pave their
streets, as the majority of property
owners decide there what is to be
done. The charter of Salem is
arbitrary and belongs to monarch
ical country, and will not stand in
the courts.
The remarks made by the gentle.
man representing tho hituminous
rock company some time ago, before
our honorable council was sufficient
to convince anyone. He said Salem
did not demand, mad could not
afford bituminous rock pavem .nt in
It's present state and wide streets,
and advised us to wait until we
reached population OF 10000 to
40, 900 people. He recommended us
at the same time to gravel, just
what property owners want to do,
