RICH IN ANNIVERSARIES

The chamber of commerce and city
council, Of Port Townsend, have taken
steps toward making fling comment
Grafton Of the centennial anniversary of
the discovery and naming of that port
by George Vancouver in 1892. Van,
couVer on his famous voyage to the
northwest coast passed Cape Flatterv
in May Of that year and entered the
Straits of Juan de Fuca. The first port
he entered he named after his shin. the
Discovery an English sloop-of-war.
From Port Discovery he rounded Point
Wilson and entered the port to which
he gave the name of friend, the Mar
quis Of Townsend. To make arrange.
ments for the celebration of this histori.
cal event committees of the city coun-
ell and chamber of commerce of the
Key City were appointed Wednesday
evening. The chamber of commere
committee consists of Judge James G.
swan, Hon. Robt. c. Hill, Capt. L. B.
Hastings, NJ. a. Sawtelle and L. NJ.
Andrews. The council committee is
composed of Mayor Tibballs, and Coun-
cifmen Horace Tucker, Warren Hast
ings, VIM. Payne, Israel Ratz and Chas,
A. Dyer.
The present year is prolific Of ami
versaries of events worthy of commena-
Grafton ia the Pacific Northwest. -Four
hundred years ago Columbus, looking
for short road to India, discovered |
America. Three hundred years ago
Juan de Fuca the old Greek pilot in
search Of the tabled Straits Of AMMAN,
entered the Straits of Juan de Fuca and
declared that he had found the passage
leading from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
In 1892 two important voyages were
made in which nearly all the geograph-
zeal features Of the Northwest were dis
covered and named. Captain GRAY, i'm
the ship Columbia, made the voyage i'm
which he discovered the mightiest of
the Pacific's tributaries, to which he
gave the name Of his ship. He then
sailed northward and discovered the
inlet which now bears the name of
trays Harbor. In the same year ,,
George Vancouver made the famous
voyage in the Discovery immortaiizing
the names of his friends-Rainier
Puget, WILDLY, Hood, Baker ct al
by applying them to the sublime and
unnamed natural features of the .
regions explored. The ninety-second -,
year of each century seems to be set i,
apart for important events marking ,
'Pochs in the history of the Pacific J
Northwest. i.

Mr.. W B. Fish, superluteudept Of rb.
Home for the Feeble Minded al Lincoln

OF his institution aHd the pncouragipu

That theory is not entertained at Lincoln
We have graduated rs high as 20 per cent

homes for them.
You remember that Dr. Dugdaie, Of
New ork, once mHy1e a tour of all the pris
ons, Jalls, etc, of that state and found a
great many people bearing the same fam
lily name, whose ancestry he traced back
through six generations to a couple Of pc
culiar natures. The forefather was a law
shiftless fellow, inclined TO be a criminal
and the mother was an imbecile Under
the caption Of the History of the Jukes,
the learned doctor figures that the state of
New York paid out $l,25O,OO0 for the care
of the descendants of this couple. So if
Illinois did no more than to properly pro
tect the 200 girls now at Lincoln the ex
Pense would be but an infinite particle
compared with the good accomplished.
we are now paying considerable atten
ton to the industrial education of the in.
mates, and it has been found to be a won.
derful factor in the curriculum. The plot
Of 400 acres is well cultivated, and we raise
all OF the vegetables, etc, necessary for the
home. Only three salaried men are EN-.

We are tempted to mention the state
in which these literary people live
especially as it is a state that prides it
self on being one of the most literary
states that ever was, but on second
thought we refrain. A lady writes TO
a friend that she has been visiting some
lovely literary people" in the state
named. They are very nice persons, in
deed, going in for high art and culture
IN their way, which they are sure is SUI
perior to every other way in this uni
verse
Their particular fad, however, is never
TO read a newspaper. All they ever
gather of current news dribbles TO them
through the magazines and religious pa
pers, In dress the women of this lovely
literary family are years behind the time
They look like fashion plate four years
old. They feed still upon the old opin-
ions they stored before issuing the edict
against newspapers It is very dry prov-
ender now. but no drier than they them
selves They will soon be ready to blow
away. Pictures Of bygone fashion hang
upon their walls-pictures made before
the American nation began to feel its
wings in the matter of artistic culture.
They are so far behind the time that
when James Russell Lowell died they
did not hear of it for three weeks. but
they did not mind a little thing like
that. Great events, heartbreaking ca
lamities. waves of evolution come and
go All are nothing to them. They
consider themselves too good to be a part
Of common humanity They sheer at
Its blind, piteous efforts to lift itself M
and be healthier and happier. With the
living. throbbing life of today they are
no more in touch than II they we're Chi /
nese and worshiped their dead grand
fathers. Mummited in their own self
,onceft these literary persons remain
IN an age that has gone past them. They |
are simply literary curiosities-that is
what they are.

A New Use for Gas.

A field in which gas is likely to play an
important part is to heat boilers and raise
steam The system has been at work in a
large establishment in London and the
results obtained are simply astounding.
Burning about 300 cubic feet of gas per
hour under thirty foot boiler steam Is
said to have been raised to fifty pounds
pressure tn forty minutes. Gas and air
are supplied under pressure to pipes that
run parallel with and under the boiler.

A trightfui story is told about a ghost
that comes and commits suicide once a
week in a certain house. Ghostly stories
OF one kind and another are printed
without end at present. After being
sat upon for century, ghosts are hay
ing their innings now and many intelli-
gent people begin to believe in them. It
Is fashionable to know somebody who
has ghost about-a veridical ghost.
The odd part Of it, however, is that it is
always somebody else who has seen the
apParitions They never come to You
yourself They never appear to persons
who are waiting and anxious to inter
view them. Under the circumstances.
therefore, 1t is Just as well to wait till
you behold one with yonr own eyes.

Is case in which the evidence of an
other cannot be taken Also before Won
accept the ghost be sure that you your
self are not little off your head or your
nerves, or that you have not been eating
oVermuch of mince pie, terrapin or lin
burger cheese. Don't accept his ghost

are in sound health and in full posses
