THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.

Like the Chicago fire whose origin was
perhaps never determined, notwith-
standing the tradition about Mrs.
O'Leary's cow, the origin of The Dalles
fire is involved in mystery. At least
this much is true; the testimony con-
cerning it is contradictory. One thing
alone is certain, it began in one of two
dwellings which stood side by side One
OF these was the residence of Mr.. F. w.
L.Skibbe and the other of Mr.. John HI.
Larsen. We have heard men assert
positively that it begun in the former
and others as positively that it originated
in the latter. We thought the prepon-
derance of testimony was for the Larsen
residence and SO said yesterday, but are
willing to admit that we have no proof
from personal knowledge for either hy-.
pothesis, although we were at the fire
few minutes after it first broke out.
Nor does it matter where it started since
there is uot the shadow of reflection
resting on any one on account of its ori-
gin. Mr.. Skibbe has lost everything
and is without a dollar of insurance
while Mr.. Larsen though insured for
$500 had fully $1,000 worth of property
destroyed.

Hill Posting in Large citie..

Bill posting for places of amusement
in this city has become quite a large
business A theatrical manager who
has spent a good many thousands of
dollars in this form of advertising saws
about it: mo theater in this city spends
less than 500 per week in this way
Some of them go much higher Many
people get all of their amusement
news from the billboards. Barnum had
great faith in this kind of display For
years it cost him 5000 per week for every
season in this city Reckon it up, and
it can easily be figured that more money
is paid to bill posters in New York than
the president of the United States gets
1.-The charges for posting are from
three to five cents per sheet per week.
When the weather keeps clear sheets
last two or three weeks La rainy
weather they need frequent renewal
The poster pays rent for space, so that
the advertisers expense is simply for
posting and keeping posters in good CON
dition. After paying all expenses. some
posters net better income out of the
business than the average good profes-
sional man or merchant can make. ~

Court Room Fright.

A genuine case of fright was devel-
oped few days ago when Charles Darr.
of Colerain pike, entered the court house
for the purpose of testifying in the case
of Thomas S. Strahan versus Isabella
Watson before Judge Bates and jury
Mr.. Darr thus made his first appearance
in court. When he reached the large
entrance to the building, and the great
stairway loomed up before his startled
gaze. Mr.. Darr's teeth ratified like casta-
nets.
As he slid up stairs on the elevator
several buttons dropped from his clothes.
so hard did he shiver and shake AS he
travelled the long corridor leading to the
court room poor Darr was completely
ratified, and a series of shrill screams
issued from his lips. In order to prevent
the man going insane from childish
fright he was excused, and he made
tracks for his country home at rate
that would defy the best efforts Of fly

animals. the smallest antelopes known
They will come, about the size of so
many cats. close behind their low wire
grating, and stand and doubtfully gaze
up at you with enormous LIQUID eyes.
And such is the effect of their littleness,
their timorousness. their almost absurd
delicacy-so small, so delicate. those lit

those fragile fawn colored sides, that
little humid twitching muzzle: so small,
and yet SO keenly. TREMENDOUSLY per-
ceptive and SO intensely sensitive; so
little, yet all alive and quivering with
nerves; so small, so weak, so helpless,
and apparently so untitled for aught ex-
cept to apprehend; such minute atoms
and specks of sentient being, SO lost
amid a universe's vast incomprehensi-

a SOAP for Metal Work.

The soaps used for cleaning metal
work usually consist of mixtures of vase
line, oleic acid and fat. mixed with a
small quantity of rouge. When freshly
prepared they leave nothing to be de-
sired: But unfortunately such mixtures
soon turn rancid, and become unfit for
use
A soap for metal work, which is stated
to be free from this objection. is made
from cocoanut butter in the following
way: 2.5 kilogrammes of the butter are
melted in an iron vessel together with a
little water, and to the mixture is added,
with constant stirring. 1S0 grammes
of chalk, S7.5 grammes of alum, S7.5
grammes of cream of tartar and S7.5
grammes of white lead
This mixture is then poured into
moulds and allowed to solidify. The
soap so obtained is made into a paste
with water and rubbed over the metal
to be cleaned, and finally removed by a
dry rag or chamois leather.-Manufact-

WILL THE DALLEs BE REBUILT

"Will The Dalles ever be rebuilt?' is
a question asked by many and to which
there can be only one answer and that is
1t certainly will. Yesterday morning
while the ruins were still burning archi-
tects and carpenters were being con-
suited about new buildings and long be-
fore noon some had gone to work to pre-
pare the timbers. Neither the residents
nor the trade of The Dalles are transient
things and men who have lived here for
years and built up business and made
friends are not going to leave the, pros
poets that still remain here and begin
life anew in other places. No fire can
destroy live town and no flames that
ever burned can kill The Dalles. The
city will rise from her ashes and be all
the more enterprising and energetic be-
cause of her baptism of fire.

IN MEMORIAM.

1t is with feelings of more than ordi-
nary SORROW that we chronicle the death
of Joseph P. FitzGerald, son of our es-
teemed fellow townsman E. p. FitzGer-
aid; the only death victim, as we fondlv
hope, of the destructive fire that has left
our fair city in ashes. Scarcely twenty
eight hours elapsed from the time that
the deceased rushed through the flames
,of his fathers burning dwelling IN the
heroic but hopeless efforts to save some
of the doomed property, till he was
corpse. And this all there is to tell. AS
&e had it from his own lips after the
sad accident which has consigned him to
premature srave, without thought of
personal danger, he had simply tried to
save some of mis- fathers clothing, when
the flames cut him off and in the attempt
to reach the outer air his arms and
hands were reduced to q crisp, while the
upper portion of his body and neck and
face were severely burned, and as the
sequel proved, his lungs must have in
-haled q portion OF the deadly flame.

P. FITZGERALD forsook its fire SCARED ten

who gave it. To the bereaved father,
this is more than an ordinary sorrow.
The same blow that scattered from his
grasp the fruit of the labors of long
and arduous life has stricken down, in
the prime of his young and hopeful
manhood, Il beloved and devoted son.
Beside this greater loss, the other, terri
BILE and distressing as it is, pales into
nothingness. In the presence of this
sorrow, almost the greatest the human
heart can know, how poor and meaning

the hearts of all the community go
out toward the bereaved family, while
our prayer is that the God of all comfort
may be their stay and consoler. Poor
