Washington Eats o1eo. Oregon Doesn't.

PORTLAND, Nov. Especial. lit is a singular
fact that while from twenty to thirty
licenses for the sale of oleomargarine
have been issued by Internal Revenue
Collector Weidler to Washington parties
during the pas. few months, not a license
has been issued for the sale of it in this state
during the same period of time This Is ac-
counted for by the stringency of the Oregon
laws and comparative laxity OF the Wash
ington laws regulating the manufacture and
sale of adulterated foods The Oregon law re-
quifes all adulterated articles OF food to be so
labeled that the consumer shall know what he
is buying. This requirement applies to retail
quantities az well as wholesale packages. In
Washington no such labelling is required.

In regard to small pox the report

''Small pox has made its appearance

which was diagnosed as chicken pox.
From those children the case of small

tracted. Upon closer investigation il
was concluded that the supposed chicken
poX was in fact varioloid. the infection
of which was brought by the returned

Tom Campion Could Not See n Water
bury Audience Disappointed.
Just as the curtain was about to rise
at the opera house last night the alarm
ing discovery was made that Sam j.
Ryan, alias Marcus Antony McNab,
was among the missing. AS McNab was
O'Dowd's next door neighbor and rival in
love to go on with the play without him
would be like playing Hamlet with
Hamlet left out. 1t was learned that
McNab, who was unwell, went to bed
at the hotel in the afternoon in order to
| freshen up for the nights performance.
| What to do under the circumstances
was puzzler. An understudy in the
company had fair idea of the part, but
did not half know the lines. The only
way out of the difficulty was for
the victim to sacrifice himself
| in order to save the COM
pany from disgrace. Finally, after
the orchestra had been playing for
twenty minutes to keep up courage,
McNab's son Artie had the temerity to
come before the curtain and in a
trembling voice announce that his
worthy sire was sick, but that the play
would go on provided the audience did
not asSassinate the understudy. In the
meantime Tom Campion, city editor OF
| the Hartford Times, who is Water
bury boy, and who came down to see
| the show, rushed over to the hotel
| yanked Ryan out of bed, helped him to
dress and hustled him over to the opera
house arriving there just afteri was an
nounced that Ryan was dangerously ill.
| He jumped into his red wig and whisk-
ers and at just twenty five minutes after
eight was on the stage aching for a
| fight with O'Dowd. The newspaper
| mans good Judgment saved the show.
