Lambs.

CINcINNATI, Sept. 3.-An Arabian
marriage, celebrated exactly as it would
be in Arabia, is in progress here. 1t is
a remarkable affair. and it requires three
days to complete. The contracting par
ties are Raphael Latoof and Lizzie An
tonius. The ceremony began at a. M,
in what is known as the Red Onion ten
ement-house, inhabited exclusively by
Arabs. The bride is but fourteen years
old. In opposite corners sat fifteen or
twenty men, and as many women. The
bride was covered with rich scarf
From table in the middle of the room
a brother of the groom dispensed beer.
All the time, the squatting men and
women kept up an exasperatIng howl
ing. Soon the relatives of the bride and
groom appeared at the door, dressed in
Arab costumes, and danced stately
minuet. Then followed all sorts of per-
formances, wild shrieking, beating of
heads, burning of incense, bowling un--
der colored lights, and accompanied all
the while by the maddening bowling.
An immense crowd of spectators was on
the outside, and a squad of police was
kept busy.

Lamb shearers Gathering.

New ORLEANS, Sept. z3.-The great
prize fight next week is attracting an
unusual swarm OF sporting men from
all portions of the continent. From
now on every train will be crowded.
Steady betting continues at the pool
rooms, and two institutions of that kind
are open for the purpose of shearing the
lambs, and it is expected that large
gums of money will be lost and won on
the result of the fights. For instance
they are ready to pay out $3.50 on the

IntelIigent voters.

East Oregonian. In the state of Miss
issippi there are 257 800 men over 81
years of age. OF these, 1i0,100 are
whites, and 147,2O5 are blacks. The
state has new constitution which con-
tains provisions as to suffrage that may
be:com mmended to Oregon as superior to
even our Australian ballot law. This
constitution limits the suffrage to those
who can read and write it requires,
moreover, the payment of heavy cleo
toral poll tax a long time before election !;
and, what is more than all, it requires
the voter, when he appears for registra-
tion, to be able to read and expound, to
the satisfaction of the registry officials,
any sect'o or sections of the state con-
stiiu'ion which they may indicate. The
enforcement of this provision of the con-
stitution produces a remarkable effect
upon the registration, while of 147, ,206
blacks, only S,615 are found to be quail
fed toVote.

New YoRK, Sept. 3.-The cholera
has had one very desirable effect in this
country. It opens the eyes of the people
to realizing sense of the situation re-
specting the immensity of the steerage
immigration to America, which could
not be understood SO we'll. The steam
ships will sustain loss of $4,000, 900 a
month, or more, while. the 20 days
quarantine regulations are being carried
out; and according to the estimate here
today by the agent q one of the largest
lines, it is estimated ih,t dur,ns the
present month about $1,000 emigrants
from the other side. The usual steer
age fare is from $18 to $25; the average
can safely be placed at $40, which means
a loss of 81 900 900 for that class of pas
sengers.
The presidents order, as may be ex-
pected, created sensation among the
steamship agents in this city, The first
intimation of it was read while the
members of the continental conference
were in session at their headquarters.
The circular will practically stop all inn
migration while the cholera epidemic
lasts. The agents of the steamships
carrying passengers recognize this fact
and will now he compelled to give up
the traffic. Immigration to this port
during the first six months OF the pres
ent year mum bered over 272, 900 steera ge,
the number of passengers each month
varying from % 900 to 60 900.
Under this Pre- clamation there will be
a considerable decline, both to and from
the United States. One agent, making
a rough estimate, places the amount at
$5,000,000. Then there are hundreds of
incidental expenses which must be con-
sidered. There is the feeding of the inn
migrants that are detained, the payment
of the officers and crew while the vessels
are detained, the loss of sailing, which
means the loss of freight, and many
other losses. making it an enormous
bin, in the aggregate. for steamship
companies to pay. The loss arising
from the fact that fewer steerage passen-.
gers will. go to the east will be $50 900.
Next to the loss arising from thessteer-
age passengers will be outgoing cabin
passengers The loss from outgoing
steefsge passengers win be $3.50, ,oOO.l
Theloss in freight business win not be
rs much.
"Thes president's proclamation will
practically stop immigration to; the
United States,o said the agent of the
Guion line, "but I think it will not af-
feet those who go to Montreal and can
cross the border. Ny opinion is that we
will not have the cholera till next
spring. Agents of other lines have
adopted measures, and a general order
has been issued, to the effect that until
further notice, no more steerage passen-
gers will be carried from the other side.

The Argument. Used

W them off on Royal consumers is that
they cost less than Royal and afford
sile dealer much more profit.
But you. madam, are charged the same price
for them as for the absolutely pure Royal which
is perfectly combined from the most highly refined
and expensive materials. The lower cost of the
others is caused by the cheap, impure materials
used IN fhem and the haphazard way in which
they are thrown together.
Do you wish to pay the price of the Royal

A skilled botanist and horticulturist
whose annual displays of rare plants
and flowers are one of the features OF
his city conservatory, said: 1.-THE mys-
teries of plant life are even more inter
esting and intricate than the secrets of
insect life. The sex in plants and
flowers and trees is just as distinctive as
in the human species, and it is no I'M
common thing to observe at the close
of the day or at early morn a dashing
male plant or flower bending it's form
over far enough to kiss the nectar from
the petal lips of it's nearest floral Juno
Then some of the handsomest and most
delicately formed and tinted plants and
flowers are ruthless and as savage in
their instincts as the cannibals of the
Fiji islands. The entire order OF
pitcher plants, notably among them
the beautiful wild duck or Indian
moccasin' plant, whose delicately pink
shaded purse-like sack is the admira-
ton of all wild flower seekers, owes its
existence to the flies and small insects
which are attracted within its folds by
the delicately favored moisture of its
cup and smothered and starved to
death by the spasmodic closing of its
outer door, hemming all intruders in as
completely as cell of the old Bastile,
and on these strange feasts the beauti-
full plant lives and th1ives. ''-Phila-

KANSAS CITY, May 13.-The Missouri
River is again rising rapidly, and the
heavy rain which fell yesterday swelled
the small streams. Reports from Kan
sas indicate that the rain was general
over the entire eastern part of the State
and that much damage is being done by
the excess of water.
At Atchison ali the trains are again
badly delayed. and washouts on the
Missouri Pacific are SO serious that
trains are abandoned except those which
are feeling their way along and running
greatly behind time. The Kaw River is
rising very rapidly again, which indi-

At Newton the small streams have
again flooded the city, and many houses
are in such q dangerous condition that
they have been abandoned.
At Topeka the three creeks which run
through the city are on rampage and
flooding lawns and cellars. From
Western Missouri are reports of a great
fall of water at Marshall, Arrow Rock,
Bonneville, Lexington and Heggenville.
The streams have risen very rapidly
since last night and threaten a severe
inundation of all the railroad tracks.
The Missouri river at Kansas City is
rising SO fast that there are indications
of a very heavy rain above here which
has not been reported. The dykes at Har.
lem are still safe from the top and on
| the rise. Should break occur thou
sands of acres of land will be under
water and all the railroads from the
north and east will be useless until

| A report has been received here that

of Blue River, four miles east of this
city, are in danger of being washed

constant washing of the stream agains

MIR GLANDS TAX BILL.

Mr. Bland, of seventy-cent silver dol
lar fame, has introduced another
measure in congress, that should be
turned down-a bill providing for the
imposition of an income tax, the pro-
ceeds of which are to be devoted to the
payment of pensions. AS the last re-
publican congress, having first taken
care to empty the treasury, made ar
engagements that swelled the pension
list up to nearly hundred and fifty
millions of dollars for the ensuing year
to meet which there is not cent of
public money now available-it is evil
dent that something must be done to
provide the funds.
Mr. BANDS bill will meet with oppo-
sition, unless it is intended to tax the
big incomes that are every year grow
ing bigger, while the small incomes of
the workers are growing smaller, and
shrinking also in sustaining power,
owing to the influence of the Mckinley
tariff, which has made the cost of living
higher while helping to diminish the
wages of individual production, and the
receipts of the national treasury.
AN indiscriminate tax on incomes
such as we had to submit to during the
crisis of our late civil war, is the most
unpopular form of impost that could be
presented to the nation. Such taxes
have invariably been obnoxious among
all peoples, from the time of the Roman
republic to the present; and, as the ex
. perience of our last income-tax Law
showed, even the most stringent pro
visions of such law can be evaded, sc
that the impost costs nearly as much t.
collect as it produces, and is more fruit
full of evil than of financial results.

Mr. SMITH, a Massachusetts, man,
willed to his sister home at his house
as long as she should live. The question
taken to the court was as to just what
ga home" meant, whether simply shell
ter, or both shelter and support. The
supreme court in deciding the case ex-
planned that the word was ambiguous
and that the learned judges had put
themselves ''as far as possible in the tes-
tator's place to ascertain the meaning
which it bore in his mind" That is, the
supremeNcourt of Massachusetts,, in pass
ing upon will, sought simply to find
out what the will maker intended to de-
wise. If this sensible plan were more
generally adopted there would be fewer
wills broken.

PRESIDENTIAL ruplors have bten fly
ing thick and fast this week. First, it
was said that Senator Hill had made W
his mind to withdraw in favor of
Governor Flower. Next, that Mr.
Cleveland would soon make public a
letter declining to allow his name to be
presented to the convention, and ad Wis
ing the party to seek its candidate in the
west; and still another, that Mr. Cleve-
land had submitted a proposition to
Senator Hill for their joint withdrawal
in favor of some New York man to be
mutually agreed upon, or in the event
of that being rejected, or their inability
to agree upon New Yorker, to with
draw in favor of some western man,
with Hill as vice president. These all
belong to the important if true" class
news, and are only mentioned to show
the feverish condition of things political
at this time.

A STRONGLY backed movement in
favor of putting refined sugar on the
free list, is making itself felt in con-
gress. It is claimed, doubtless with
truth, that in no other way can the de-
tested sugar trust be SO quickly or SO
surely shorn of its power. Many re-
publicans privately admit their belief
that it would be good move to put re-
fined sugar on the free list, but their
votes would be controlled by their party
leaders should the ways and means COM
mittee Of the house decide to favorably
report such a measure, and not by their
private opinions.
