Crime in the Air.

1t has been frequently noticed that
there are epidemics of robberies as well
as of suicides and other crimes A Grim
lnal epidemic, peculiar TO half dozen
large cities of the United States that
have large and vicious population, is
that OF Sunday murders, which are the
results of a day of idleness. Then,
again. murders with peculiar features
often occur in groups in all parts of the
country. In France there is tradition,
centuries old. that epidemics of suicide
return in regular cycles, at each recur-
renee of the suicidal furor the success
sive victims of their own murderous
hands vieing with one another in the
greater ghastliness of the tragedy that
they enact.
Stories Of wife murders in vzrious
parts of the country, relieved by few
exceptional murders of husbands by
by their wives, reach the press stimuli
taneously from many different sources.
Murder is in the air. has become u
stereotyped expression among newspaper
men and detectives. who know from ex-
perience that such epidenics will run
their cycles and cause many bloody
records to be made before they have
spent their fury.
With bank robberies it is the same.
It is not often that a single robbery is
made-one is sure to breed others; ssthey
come not singly. but in whole battal-
ions." This is not because the same
gang engages in many different enter
prises, but because a universal similar.

Unclaimed Funds.

There are tens of thousands of dollars
lying in the vaults of the subtreasury in
New York which belong to pensioners
Checks have been issued probably COW
ering the whole amount. but from one
cause or another the money has never
been claimed. The checks have never
been presented. The money stands to
the credit of the various pension agents
acting as disbursing officers of the gov
ernment. An account with one of these
officials is never closed until all the
checks come in and no more are to come.

OREGON's CHANCE.

Chief Buchanan of the worlds fair re-
quests that each state contribute the
trunks of three of it's most characteristic
trees to be used in constructing a rustic
colonade for the forestry building. Here
is our chance at last. In the western
part OF the state where the woods arc
covered with fallen timber of little
earthly account, it Will be easy to ind

moss, our characteristic lycopodium

that traverse the state would not carry
them to Chicago for nothing. 1t is quite
possible some enterprising citizens
might put up enough money for the ex-
penses of such an exhibition and there
would be no question about the ''charac-
teristic'' business.

The grandson of Count d'Hausscn-
vile. in La Vie de Mon Pere relates
how the noted royalist escaped from
the mob on the terrible Aug. 10, 1192:
My grandfather did not elaigrate.
Louis XVI, who had confidence in his
rare courage and entire devotion, had
made him promise not to leave him, and
he was always one of those who in mo-
ments of danger hastened to the Tuil-
cries to defend the royal family He
was with the king throughout the 10th
of August. When the royal family left
the legislative assembly he found him
self in a position of great danger
He took advantage of the semitwi-
light in the lobby to destroy his lace
ruffies and hid his gold laced hat and his
sword under the seats.
Then he joined the crowd which was
leaving the hall and the offices. But the
difficulty was to pass from the entrance
to the assembly hall to the gate of the
drawbridge of the Tuileries without be-
ing recognized In this space and at the
gate were the people, excited by having
taken the palace and by the massacre of
the Swiss, which had occupied them
nearly all day.
In crossing the garden my grandfather
noticed a child who had been hit by
bullet and was moaning On the ground
surrounded by several persons. He
walked straight to the group lifted the
child in his arms without saying a word,
and went on toward the gate, walking
slowly and apparently quite absorbed in
comforting the little child. His face was
thus concealed as he reached the gate
and ordered the crowd aside.
He was allowed to pass unsuspected,
and still protected by his lrecious bur-
den he passed through streets and
neared the d'Haussonville mansion Then
he left the child and sum of money
with physician, with instructions that
the little one should be given the best of
care

The assessment roll of Marion county
has been completed and the result shows
u gross property value OF $11 ,67o,32 or
an increase OF more than two and half
million dollars over the assessment. of
1880. The Indebtedness is $3, OBS, ,353,
the exemptions $G9S,0l7, leaving net
taxable valuation of 81 ,93S, $50, an in
crease OF million and half over the
assessment of 1890. There Is an increase
in town lots OF over million and an in
crease in every item excepting those OF
sheep and land. Speaking Of the two
and a half million increase in the gross
valuation the Salem Journal says it
actually represents real increase of ten
millions as the Journal considers the
assessed valuation is not more than
twenty-five per cent. Of the real one.
If this estimate is correct the journal
can well afford to ask .'Where is there
a county in Oregon that can show a
better gain the past year2''

1t was generally supposed during his

for bank notes than for musical notes
that, in fact. he was a heartless. sci
fish miser. It is true that. as a rule. he
was very chary with his money (he
died worth $50. 0OO), but that he was
also occasionally generous is amply
proved by several incidents in his ca.
reer. One of his last concerts was
given at Turin for the benefit Of the
poor. He gave-Berlioz. the great French
composer. the large sum Of 20. 600
francs. simply as a mark Of admiration
for the latter's Symphonic Fantas-

manner of his ~befriending a little
Italian whom he found playing on the
streets Of Vienna
The boy confided TO him that he sup
ported his sick mother by his playing,
and that he had come from the Other
side of the Alps. Paganini was touched
at once. He literally emptied his peck
cts into the lads hand. and taking his
poor instrument from him began THE
most grotesque and extraordinary per
Torrance possible" Presently there
was quite a crowd around the curious
