ticularly stylish combining silk blouse

certainly are more picturesque than

twelve inches wide, often interwovon
with metallic, jet, gilt or crystal beads,

with deep rain" fringe. Bands OF
bright-colored Russian embroidery arc
new this season. but quite expensive

Salem at Last Has a Government
Building in Sight of the Lower
House.

The senate of the United States
has repeatedly given Salem a post
office building. But the bill has
never reached the house for action.
1t has never been lut to q vote oI
that body.
A private dispatch from Congress
man Hermann indicates that at last
there may he some action. 1t is "a
follows:
The public buildings committee
decided this morning on 100000 fol
government building at Salem. The
report was submitted. The whole
committee agree.
Congressman Wilson has just
secured a $l75,0 900 building for
Spokane, and it would seem that as
the second city of Oregon, Salem
should sta nd some chance of recog.
milton.
Our Republicans and Democrats
should now go to work to influence
members of congress to give Salem a
p1stoffice building.
While the committees and oul
delegation in congress are unanimous
for a Salem public building, it is not
Gel tain that the present congress
will pass it unless they are labored
with to show them the justice OF
our claim.

NEW ASYLUM WING.
The most important part of the
grand jury report is the closing STATE
meut about the state asylum, for the
insane. They say: 1--WE find it
badly crowded. Wards having been
originally designed to accommodate
thirty-five patients; NOW have in
male wards an average of 429, and
female wards 3S aud 5-6tbs. We
therefore recommend the further
construction of stone or brick build
ings, to accommodate the increasing
population Of that institution, and
that no wooden buildings be con-
structed. Also that those wooden
structures already on the premises
be DISPENSED with at the earliest
convenient date" Sigued: J. NJ.

CHARMING HALL DEDICATED
Unity Club Entertains "A Lively
Program and a Good
Time.

A pleasant evening was spent last
night by the members of the Unity
literary club aud their immediate
friends, numbering about one hun
dred, young and old. The program
consisted Of representations OF char
acters FROM the works Of American
authors, and although presented In
a rather informal way, proved very
entertaining to all present. Among
the distinguished host appearing
were Hiawatha, Minnehaha, Evan
geline, John Alden and Priscilla,
from Longfellew; Zenobia, Priscilla,
Holliugsworth. and Hilda, from
Hawthorne; Ichabod Crane, Died
rich Knickerbocker, Peter Stuy-
vesant, Rip Van Wrinkle and wife,
Fair Daughter of Amsterdam aud
the Puritan maiden, from Washing
ton Irving. Also characters from
Franklin, Mrs. Burnett, Bavard
Taylor, Whittier, and Others. IL. B.
Holland as Rip Van Winkle and
Mrs. Holland as Gretchen, gave
most realistic representation of
those strong characters, aud thereby
pleased every one present. Many
of the other characters were well
taken, and worthy of more public
presentation.
After the program the good ladies
invited all to partake of delicious
luncheon, which was served aud
disposed of in pleasant and effect
i've manner while Prof. Coomer's
orchestra played some of its choicest
selections. The OCCASION was clused
by grand march and few simple
dances, lasting only until II O'Clock,

was pronounced a decided success.

WAS HE HYPToNIzED
A Worlds Fair Convention Call
That Was Mysteriously
Tcc1.ad


The following item is taken from
the Athena Press and has appeared
ih a number of Oregon pal ers:
WORLDS FAIR CONVENTION.
His excellency, Governor Pen
uoyer, on the 9th inst, issued u
proclamation to all those interested
in an Oregon exhibit at the Worlds
fair, to meet at the state house on
the 22nd of February for the pur-
pose of appointing commission to
consider the expediency of raising,
by subscription, an amount sutfi-
cient to defray expenses for proper
exhibit.
AS a number of exchanges en-
larged upon the enterprise of our
chief executive in a glowing man
ner, a JOURNAL reporter was
seut to ascertain the facts about a
convention that was first heard of
in the above way.
THERE is NO RECORD
in the governors cffice of any such
proclamation having been issued.
Secretary Munly searched in vain
for any minute on the governors
desk and the state printers Office
was alike devoid of any trace of
such a, to be desired, manifesto.
The governor was absent from the
city and the only remaining theory
to explain the mysterious proclama-
tion was that the governor may
have been hypnotized by Mr.. Osborn
of the Portland chamber of COM
merce. His return to the city and
the arrival of delegations to the
convention are painfully awaited.
Salem will receive the delegates
Hospitality, and the governor too,
for that matter, if he has any such
ideas in his head, He may have
planned it all as a huge surprise for
the state of Oregon, which has prin-
cipally been a state of apathy on the
worlds fair question. A full re-
port of developments in the matter
will be found in The JOURNAL.

While Benjamin Franklin was born
in Boston he can be said to belong to
Pennsylvania as truly as does William
Penn. who was born in England, but

ton. And how many people in Philadel-

know that we are indebted largely to

century ago began to replace the fire.
places and more crude arrangements for
CRATES warming our houses?
The Franklin stove, which in its days
of early development was merely por-
table iron fireplace, with open front, in
which wood was burned to heat an apart
ment, was given its name because it was
invented by Benjamin Franklin, and
was really the connecting link between
the rude treplaces of the last century

Drowning Half a Continent.

When the Panama canal was first pro-
posed a great cry went up that such a
"ditch" would endanger the lives of mil
lions of human beings. 1t was argued
that the waters on the Pacific side of the
isthmus were hundreds of feet higher
than they were on the Atlantic side, and
that the great rush Of waters to even mp
the difference in the level of the two
oceans would drown out all southern
North America, all the West Indies and
most Of Mexico and Yucatan. Would
be engineers and sensational editors
passed their opinions or wrote yards OF
scare editorials on the subject. 1t now
turns out that the Atlantic and not the
Pacific is the higher of the two oceans
and that in place of the difference ii
level being hundreds of feet, as had beer
affirmed, the surface of the water on the
east side of the isthmus is exactly 81:
feet higher than it is on the western
side.--St. Louis Republic.
