 How they let us through without touching hair of our heads or once making a motion toward us passes my comprehension

4 Woman's Statement.

They got into an argument about the money made by people who earn their living on the stage Of course they diff fered; people cant argue satisfactorily unless they do differ But here is the opinion of a woman who was once on the stage, who was considered popular, who was clever enough in her work to get applause and praise. who presum- ably earned more than the average ac- tress, and yet who is content with her present life:
 When take out the money paid for gowns which were useless except on the stage. when make allowance for trav- cling expenses, hotel bills, weeks in which few performers earn anything; when 1 take into account engagements which could not for many reasons be satisfactory to me, when l foot up the salaries which sometimes in my early work never received, and when l esti- mate the thousand and one little ex- penses which were then necessary, con sider that for several years of my life earned practically nothing but a living, and worked very hard, you must un- derstand Wheu got married l left the stage. Now it isn't necessary to tell you what my salary was or what my husbands salary now is, but his earn ings are less than mine were. But we two live much better on his smaller salary than | alone could live on my bigger salary We have pretty home and all that we need to be happy. We save little money too. So suppose this is fair answer as to what one makes on the stage There are great many circumstances to be considered. New York Tribune

Letters That Never Came.

They tell a funny story of man who rented a box in the postoflice awhile ago, He appears to have been new to the business and failed to get the hang Of the thing After month or so he called on one of the postoffice officials and be- gan to kick about the box. "The blamed thing never had any mail in it." was his complaint.
 "l have looked in that box every day since rented it and it hasn't had thing in it the whole time. even addressed a letter to myself and never heard from it"
 The two took look at the box and the postofiice man inquired if the box renter had ever opened his box Why, no; of course not. Couldn't he see that there wasn't anything in it.
 Of course it turned out that he had forgotten the number of his box though it was on his receipt. and had been watching and swearing over an unrented one. He found q stock of mail in his

We Are Larger Than We Used to Be.

There were only two suits of armor which could be worn by us. These were the suits of giants of that time. The rest, which belonged to the ordinary sized, strong medieval soldiers, were too small for us Would not this tend to show that we are larger than our ances- tors werey-Detroit Free Press.

Waited Until the Child Was Safe

An interesting little war story has Governor Jones, of Alabama, for it's hero. At the time Gordon was resisting Sher1nan's advance, Jones, then a staff captain, was delivering a message from his chief when he saw little child, clad only in night clothes, hiding in terror behind frame house in the direct range of the bullets from each army. Jones rode forward, took the child on his horse and galloped back with her to the Con federate line. When the Union forces saw the act they ceased firing. and there was an impromptu cessation of hostili- ties until the child had been carried to a point of safety. ty.-Charleston News and Courier

To Catch Those Shamming Deafness.

ho ShummtnE DchIuess.
 "That no man is proof against the love of money is evidenced by the ease with which a physician can expose man who is feigning deafness" says Dr. Wal lace Smyth. "A man can pretend to be deficient in any one of the senses, and it is sometimes necessary to subject him to an electric shock to break down his self erected barrier. But if man who is pretending to be deaf is approached from behind while standing on q stone floor or sidewalk and coin is dropped so as to ring, he will invariably turn sharply around with view to picking it up.
 "This simple device is frequently re- sorted to in countries where conscrip- ton is the rule and where deafness or any other infrmity relieves a man from army service, saw it tried in Paris on six alleged youths, and, much to the ex- amining physicians amusement, it suc- ceeded in exposing the sham every time" St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Some people have queer idea of what constitutes public spirit. saw q rich man approached yesterday for a subscription to fund to entertain the visiting journalists, if they decided to come this way. He refused point blank to give even cent. "When go east" he said, "I pay my own expenses; let them do so, too." Now there is com bination of intelligence and public spirit. It was not such ideas that built up this city and developed the county. It is to be regretted that such men must profit by the efforts of others. But the good work cannot stop because of the apathy of the few. Ii the eastern editors decide to stop in Phoenix they will be splendidly entertained, even il some of the very richest men in the county will not contribute cent.

Before There Is ANY observation-disclosures
The Purity And Security VIII be
, AIenaced.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-The recent an
nouncement is today very strongly ques-
toned that Tammany has accepted the
olive branch and is now at peace with
the Cleveland following. This may be
true or it may be doubted. Until it is
disclosed that the demands of Tammany
have been met, people at the west will
look with distrust upon any protestations
of friendship that may be made. To
win, according to the general belief, Mr..
Cleveland must have New York. To
have New York he must have Tammany.
The democracy has thus been brought
face to face with this dilemma, the de-
feat of its nominee or concessions to
Tammany. Western democrats for the
most part favor that which they believe
to be right, and oppose what they be-
lieve to be wrong. They are keenly
alive to the fact that Tammany practices
are a menace to the purity and security
of republican institutions. Loved for
the enemies he made, Mr.. Cleveland
may become distrusted for the enemies
he conciliates. Yet the general belief
in the integrity of Mr.. Cleveland and OF
his close political advisers will do much
to overcome the doubt arising as to the
terms of the conciliation of Tammany.

GOLD IN THE CASCADES.
Toledo People Make Rich Discoveries
on tho Green River.


on tho Green River.
From the Sunday oregonian.l
1t remained for party of Toledo peo-
pie to make the first successful explora-
tion of the quartz bearing lodges that
for years have been known to exist on
the western slope of the Cascade range,
between the Columbia river and the
northern boundary of Washington.
Prospectors have been out from time to
time, and although all satisfied them
selves of the existence Of rich mineral
deposits in the vicinity of Mount st.
Helens and further up on the range,
owing to the many deprivations and
hardships they were subjected to, no
one ever carried his researches to sue
cessful conclusion. The greatest obsta-
Gle was in the distance OF the mineral
belt from any settlement. About two
years ago a party of four Toledo people,
consisting of Ed Burbee, p. Koontz,
| Robert Young and ). Witt, made the
first discoveries of gold, on Green river,
the north branch of Toutle river,
tributary of the Cowlitz.
Although they kept their discoveries
quiet for while, others in some way
learned of them, and on the 10th of last
month party of sixteen Toledoites, un-
der the leadership of w. W. O'Connor,
equipped with the necessary tools for
cutting out trail started out to gee
what they could find. After three
weeks of hard work they reached what
is known as Green river forks, the outer
edge of the mineral belt. This point
they named Camp Separation, and after
laying out townsite for ''queen city,"
the party separated. Some returned to
Toledo, while w. w. O'Conner, Geo. A.
Miller, j. H. Spangler, Joe Schurand,
R. G. Lange, Gus. Anderson, w. Seifert,
w. A. Wittel and two ranchers pushed
out into the mountains in search Of
gold.
Those who have already returned
from this trip claim they are well repaid
for their efforts. They say they have
located no less than three dozen lodges,
some of which show up better than
most of the renowned Colorado leads.
Among the ores they found are gold, sill
yer, lead, copper, quicksilver and iron.
The party who have just returned have
organized the Toledo Mining company,
and as soon as they rest up they intend
! to return to their discoveries to open
the mines and have the ore assayed.
Mr.. Lange, who is an old mining expert,
pronounces the discoveries the most inn
portant made in years, and predicts
that the Green River district will soon
take front rank among the mineral
producing belts of the country.

GOV. FLOWER TELLS THIS.
a Fishing story which Takes the
Cake for Solemn Truth.


From the New York Times.l
Governor Flower brought home from
the North Woods last week brand
new fish story, as follows:
''In order to make the events of my
story possible, / must go back three
years before my visit to Dannemora.
An old guide hooked salmon in lake,
the name OF which cant remember,
three years ago. In the boat with him
were a man and his young wife. The
latter persisted in carrying a parasol.
When the guide got the salmon in the
boat the woman became frightened, and
with her parasol jabbed one of the fish's
eyes out.
"As she did so, the fish became un-
hooked, and was overheard in twink
ling. The guide made spring for the
fish, but the unlucky parasol ferrule
penetrated his eye and destroyed its
sight. The guide wore glass eye after
ward, and when went fishing Tuesday
this same guide took me to the lake
lost his glass eye overheard. When I
turned my gaze from him he had two
eyes, when returned it he had but one.
The guide bewailed his lot, and prom
ised to send him a bushel of glass eyes
if he would only take me where we
could get some big fish.
"Wednesday we went back to the
lake. My line jerked and my pole bent
almost double. The guide cast his eye
on my pole and line and exclaimed ):
Something big, gov'n'r.' knew that
from the way the object at the other end
acted. Together we hauled the fish,
should say fishes-out. One was a
large salmon and the other good-sized
trout. The trout was hanging to the
eye of the salmon with his mouth. The
guide pulled the fishes apart, and with
an exclamation of joy said: There's my
eye.'
"The eye that he dropped overheard
the day before was in the head of the
| salmon, which was the same fish that
the guide lost three years ago after the
young woman had pokcd It's eye out.
The trout was just in the act of putting
the eye in the salmon when the latter
was caught.
"Funny coincidence, wasn't it," and
the governor bent over his work again,
while the correspondent went out into
| the fresh, cool air.

AFTER The PULLMANS
The Great Palace Car Monopoly EFade
Payment Of Taxes.
CAPITAL ABOUT SIXTY x MILLIONS.
A Large Proportion of This Amount
is not Assessed Anywhere.
NO PROVISION FOR SUCH CUSTOM.
Claim no Knowledge of the Amounts
Assessed in Other States against
Them.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-At the
meeting of the state board of equaliza-
ton this morning Mr.. Craske arose and
stated that he was not ready to present
to the board his resolution which was
read last week instructing the committee
on capital stock to assess the Pullman
Palace car company on the basis of $43,-
6SS, $50, but he proceeded at some length
to explain his position to the board.
Mr.. Craske said: ''The question as to
what assessment should be placed upon
the Pullman Palace car company by
this board is simply a question of figures.
The company in its returns shows that
it has capital stock of $50 ,0G0, 900, and
from the market reports and actual
sales made on New York stock ex-
change, this stock was worth price per
share which makes the total capital
stock of the company last month $780,
GOO, 900.
'sIt has been usual in the past to give
the company credit for property owned
by them outside the limits of the state
There is certainly no provision in the
law for this custom. 1 admit that there
is reason, perhaps, why this should be-
done, but when this company says in
answer to resolution offered by the
capital-stock committee, and which
was passed unanimously by this board,
that it could not give the amounts as
sessed against it in other states, terri
ritories, etc., it cannot blame this board
for failing to give it credit.
''The Pullman company claims pro-
perty to the value of $3s, ,241 ,242 that is
assessable outside of the state, but does
not say that it is assessed. Allowing
this to be true and that the par value of
the stock on May I'd was 1892 share, a
there would still remain property to the
value of $40 ,O5S ,656 in this state subject
to assessment by this board, and on
basis of % per cent this would amount
to $4 ,696 ,S91. From this the company
would be entitled toa deduction of the
assessments made by the local assessor,
which is, according to their report, 647,-
78S, leaving as the capital-stock assess
ment by this board 81 ,249 ,103."

The Astoria shanghai Case.

ASTORIA, Sept. 19.-In San Francisco
on Saturday last, L. G. Carpenter was
arrested on an extradition from Oregon,
charging him with "enticing and per-
suading person to leave the state
against his will.'' Sheriff II. A. Smith,
of Clatsop county, served the papers,
and Carpenter was detained at the city
prison until this morning, when he will
take steamer for Astoria. In March,
1891, Carpenter, who was practicing
law in Astoria, acted as attorney for
Darius Norris, arrested by Chief of Po-
lice Barry, of Astoria, for a murder COM
mitted in 1885, in Washington, across
the river from Astoria. A writ of ha-
beas corpus was served on Chief of Po-
lice Barry, and by the time of service
and its return Norris was put aboard
an English ship by Carpenter and Cur
tis, acting as his attorneys. While
Norris was in prison, he gave a deed to
his land in Washington to Carpenter in
trust for fees, but now that he finds
there are no grounds for the fear of
lynching at the hands of mob, he has
returned from England and his case has
been taken up by Sheriff Smith. Car
penter claims that the trouble is really
the outcome of political fight he made
against Smith and Smiths friends in
Astoria, and says he is not fearful of the
result of the case.

A Good Sermon.


Oregonian. A few days ago Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, in an address
at the fair grounds in Crawford county,
in that state, called the conduct of the
Homestead strikers "rebellious against
the government" sit was not question
of government. There can be no sue
cesful labor capital where there is no
government. There are no laws suffi-
cient in any land to settle all differences.
We do not want more legislation, but
wewant more allegiance to existing laws.
When visited that section there was no
labor in 1t that was idle. There was no
capital except that which was idle.
Therefore, when the question of capital
and labor was presented to me, answer
ed, why, there is no capital or labor
here to discuss What we want more
than capital or labor is government" :"
This from the democratic governor of
Pennsylvania, should be sermon for
democratic editors throughout the Hand.
