Ne Plus Ultrais evidently young,
high-toned and conscientious lover.
That he has referred this momentous
problem to the Free Lance, for solu-
ton, is fattering, alike to the Editors
sagacity and lack of sentimentality.
Certainly, in every instance, the par
ents of the matrimonial aspirant
should be appraised of his intention
prior to laying his hand, heart and
bank account Gf he has one,) at
the feet of the coy damsel. who has
bewitched him into believing, that
by her side alone, can he find happi-
ness. For should the young lady
"kick' him, as the rustic lover has
it, or refuse him, as the cultivated
denizens q society phrase it, or should
the artful archer-lover, direct his
thought to another fair one, for men
like maidens, are tickle creatures
Shakespeare wrote:
.'-'''''.s'Were man but constant,
He were perfect. That one error
Fills him with faults"
Should he, | say, seize this horn of
the dilemma, or grasp at the other,
the consciousness that his father and
mother.are acquainted with his senti-
ments will, in a measure preserve his
mental equilibrium, will prevent his
leaping out of the frying pan into
the fire, in other words, clipping with
the cook or housemaid to escape the
odium of unrequited love. But be-
fore he distresses pater familias with
the intelligence, that he is seriously
contemplating this fateful undertake
ing, let him ponder long; for, to
"Marry in haste, is to repent at leis-
ure." So much for the first clause of
this two-fold query. To the second:The
Mosaic law emphatically commands,
"Honor thy father and thy Mother"
Honor in this case is merely syno-
nym for obedience. If they oppose
the alliance the son proposes, if he is
dutiful, certainly he must defer the
marriage, or if he has not asked the
all important question, he must let
the matter rest here, until his parents
change their minds, who doubtless
have excellent reasons for their obdu-
racy. This course will be unkind to
the young lady, who will consider
herself defrauded of woman's dearest
prerogatiye, to decline or accept; she
will however, quickly smooth the
ruff1ed plumes of her self-love in an
other admirers smile. While her
undeclared lover will learn that
love, which is undoubtedly 'sfun-
ny, funny thing" has not ruined
his appetite, he will deyour just
as much cake and cream as before;
and will be thankful, when the young
lady in question turns out as cold,
that he listened to pGter and mater,
and didn't rush headlong into matri-
mony.
This is the editors view. But de-
string to give "Ne Plus Ultra the
benefit of varied opinion, the Editor
causally asked a young gentleman
to give her his ideas on the subject.
He held that unless the intending
bridegroom proposed to bring his
bride to dwell with the s'old folks, .
they had no right to object to the
union. For love, he said, was the
foundation of happiness and man
could not be happy if he were perpet-
ually craving a boon, that parental
authority denied him. We hope ssNe
Plus Ultra" viii be dutiful and hap
Ply too. In brief, that father and
mother will. consent to his wishes and
the young lady will assent to them.

NEXT TO A BABY.

He Eventually Decides to Offer His Seat
to a Woman.
She had baby. evidently her first
baby, and she made the mistake of
choosing the next seat to Josh, who
hates babies, and of course tried to be
rid of this one. Josh looked the infant
over curiously. Then he addressed the
mother:
Excuse me, madam, but is there any
danger of the child's exploding?"
''Sir?"
Il mean drooling, or splitting, or any
thing of that kind"
Il think not, sir.
And you won't let it suck its fingers
and then grabble them over my face, or
hat?'
Il will not, SIR
And the child's safe? I mean it
or Group, or scarlatina, or chicken pox?
Those diseases are light for children.
but serious for adults, madam
Sir, my child is quite healthy"
"Ah!" he said with sigh of relief.
''Thank you, madam. Only pray don t
let it splutter."
The car was crowded and a young
woman was standing near Josh His
victim sought to retaliate.
There is a young lady standing;
would it not be well to give her your
seat?"
Madam, turn and turn is fair play.
When did you ever see lady give a
young man her seat?'
But the baby took matters into its
own hands and began spluttering.
and Josh, hastily getting up. rendered
his seat most politely TO the young lady
and took another on which she had
been turning her back,-Toledo Blade.

oAKEs AT GRAY's HARBoR.
Considering Railroad Extension-A Trip
by Steamer to Portland.

by Steamer to Portland.
GRAY's HARBoR, June 13.-The party of
Northern Pacific railway officials which
arrived here yesterday afternoon took the
steamer Typhoon this morning for Peter
sons point, from which place it will be
taken to South Bend and later to Ilwaco
Beach, Astoria, and Portland. While in
this vicinity the party was entertained by
the members of the Gray's Harbor Com
pany, nearly all of whom were here, Presi-
dent Congdon and Vice-President III. P.
Barbour, of st. Paul, having arrived only
day or two previous. President 0akes
and his party had the steamer Typhoon,
the feetest on the harbor, placed at their
disposal as soon as they arrived at Monte
sano. From the Typhoon they were
transferred to carriages and driven all
over the townsite of Gray's Harbor. The
citizens turned out in large numbers to
welcome the officials.
President Oakes expressed himself as
greatly pleased with the country and as
tonished at the amount of work which had
been done. General Manager w. s. Mel
len also said that the country was destined
to fill a much more important place than
it did at present and many people would
surely soon be here. The other officials,
without exception, expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the looks of Gray's
Harbor. The officials did not stop at
Aberdeen, but made stop at Hoquiam.
The particular reason for the present
visit of the management of the Northern
Pacific road is to consider the project of
extending the company's line from Monte
sano, the present terminus, to Gray's Har-
Dor, the only deep-water point on the
harbor. The proposed extension will en-
tail the construction of only eighteen
miles of road, and for more than three
fifths of this distance the grade is COM
pleted The Gray's Harbor company has
offered the railway company very heavy
inducements to run the line into this city,
and it is generally believed that this visit
of the officials will settle the matter. Mr..
Oakes declined to say whether the road
would be built when accosted by Posr-
INTELIIGENcER reporter this morning, but
as the proposition has been under con-
sideration for some months, every one feels
that this visit is almost as good as the
railroad itself.
Mr.. Cakes will reach Portland on Tues
day morning, and will get back to the
Sound on the following day.

conferences are being held, and the result
VIII be that both street car lines will be
granted franchises through both cities.
Inc question whether the consolidation
oil the cities, New and Old Whatcom, con-
soiidateo the school districts of the two
towns also is still unsettled. The school
directors differ In opinion concerning the
matter, and the attorney general of the
state has refused to give an opinion in the
case. The financial standing of the two
districts complicates matters. District No.
l has assumed an Indebtedness TO erect
four school buildings. while district No, >
has only one schoolhouse, and compare
lively no debt. New schoolhouses are
necessary in district No. .. and the dues-
tion arises, must district No. / bear her
own Indebtedness and assist district No. 9
in the erection of her buildings also? On
top of this the directors talk of erecting a
large central high school.
The city council has levied ~ mills on
the dollar for city revenue purposes. based
on total city valuation of 81 SOC, 900. The
assessment and levy are much higher than
ever before, and will be found oppressive.
FIVE mills has heretofore been the limit of
the levy on a lower valuation.

By the indecision of the government
officials there are still two postoffices in
the city of New Whatcom, close together.
The public interest demands the estab-
lishment of free mail delivery and the dis
continuance of one of these offices. The
delay in settling this postoffice muddle re-
tards the establishment of the free mail
delivery system, and our people are be-
coming impatient with the politicians who
are responsible for this.

THE SUICIDE CLUB.
Ten Of the Eighteen Members Have
Destroyed Themselves.

destroyed themselves
r. BRIDGEPORT, June 14.-The discovery
that Landlord e. r. Schmidt, of Birming-
ham, who took his own life last week, was
member of the famous Bridgeport Sui
eide Club, has again brought that grue-
some organization into prominence.
The history of this peculiar club dates
back some six years. As or
iginally organized its membership was
limited to six. Upon their death the club
was to become extinct, and it was in
tended there should not be any deviation
from this plan, but incredible as
it may seem, as soon as the existence
of the club was known, it was beseiged
with applications for membership and as
members could not withstand the pressure
they were obliged to let others in, until
the original six grew to eighteen. tits one
of the rules of the order that at least two
members shall shuttle off this mortal coil
each year by their own hands, but it has
never been known to outsiders whether
lots are drawn for who the sacrifice is
to fall on, or whether the members
are sworn at imitation to de-
stroy themselves within a stated
time. The latest theory is the most
probable inference from the fact that the
mortuary record of the club has always
been kept up with fearful regularity. Ten
of the eighteen members have so far killed
themselves.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14.-A letter re-

says that Chinaman All Quong Tia, having
been acquitted of the charge of numbering
Potter Tom. a Piute Indian, at Bridgeport,
Cal, was dragged from the courtroom,
turned over to the Indians, by whom he
was cut into pieces.
The Chinese consul here will bring the
matter to the attention of the Washington
City government
The Chronicles Hawthorne, New, special
gives the CHASTITY details of the killing of
Chinese All Tia at Bridgeport, CAL The
matter was reported to the Chinese lega-
ton here. Poker Tom, Piute Indian,
disappeared five weeks ago.. His body was
found cut into small pieces. The body
had been packed in brine and completely
picked
All Tia gave the Indians big feast
few days after Poker Tom disappeared,
and served some choice delicacies. which
the Indians greatly relished. Indians
now believe that Tia made a frIcasse of
Toms head and heart and served it at the
feast. Last Monday night the Chinaman
gave himself up to the police, as he feared
an attack from the Indians, the Indians
keeping guard around the Jail all night,
fearing Tia would get away. Next morn
ing Tia was arraigned on the charge of
murder He admitted the killing, but
said it was done in self-defense.
He killed Tom with a club. and
cut the body up to escape
detection. The justice of the peace acquit-
ted Tia and as he was leaving the court
room the Indians bound him with a rope
and led him half a mile from town. Then
brother of Tom cut off one arm.
The Chinaman cried pitiously but the In
dians cut off the other arm. Then they
cut off both legs and his head. They cut
his breast open with cleaver and scat
tered his entrails through the brush. Two
hundred armed Indians were present
and the butchery was witnessed by two
white men. As the sheriff did not pro-
test, no one interfered with the Indians
The lawyers and justice of the peace are
blamed for acquitting Tia, as it was known
if they turned him loose, the Indians
would kill him.

HAZEL vAssALo's RELATIONS.
Mothers Trust Betrayed by Her Cruel
Father.

Father.
SAN Francisco, June 14.-TSpecial. 1.-The
police may now be able to find little Hazel
Vassalo, the child who disappeared from
this city so mysteriously two years ago.
She has been heard from in Seattle, and
letters to her relatives here state that she
is now in the possession of an Italian
organ-grinder and gathering pennies for
him on the streets in Seattle. Three
sisters named Knauss lived on one of
the streets opening off Montgomery av-
enue some seven years age. Their parents
were respectable people, and two of the
girls married well. The third, however,
was unfortunate in tying herself up with
an Italian named Vassalo, who was a
clerk in fruit commission house. This
man went from bad to worse, principally
because he was addicted to drink.
Finally the unlucky woman was stricken
down by fatal sickness and on her death
bed charged her sister to care for Hazel,
who was then little mite. The dying
woman said she was sure Vassalo would
not care for the child as he had cursed
her and whipped her numerically on diff
ferent occasions.
The sisters tried to carry out the charge,
puI one uay NaSSOia took daZel away,
claiming that as he was her father he had
a right to do with her as he pleased.
Search was made for the little girl the next
day, but the Italian was seen and de-
clared he did not know where she was
and said somebody had taken her from
him in the night.
One of the married sisters is Mrs. +. /.
Davis, the wife or barber in Seattle; her
address is No. 2,3f1 Front street She
wrote to this city last Monday that she
saw Hazel with the organ-grinder. The
child admitted she had been called Hazel
in San Francisco, but when the Italian
scolded her, denied that this was true, and
said she had come from Chicago. Mrs.
Davis went to notify the police, and on
her return could find neither the organ
grinder nor the girl.
