Women who Are Posted.

There are women, and those, too, who
do not aspire to public offices, who know
as much about the silver question and
other subjects Of national interest as
men. The affairs of the country inter-
est them deeply. If I wanted ques-
ton in political economy explained I
know Of women within q stones throw
who could satisfactorily instruct me.
Just men with brains are willing to ad-
nit that the old argument of woman's
inability to understand national affairs
had never q grain Of truth in it. That
they did not understand was once more
or less correct, but that they could not
was always a mistake. Eleanor Kirk

As Rare As Commendable.

Very many Portland men will recall NJ.
P. Dalton, who was few YEAR, ago we'll
known in business circles as a dashing
and promising young business man. He
was connected with number of lines of
trade and was liked by all who had deal
ings with him.
At last he was induced to invest in
some speculations that promised well
but did not pan out, and when he took
account of stock he found that he was
several thousand dollars in debt.
He left Portland and took up new
life in the South and West. He tried his
hand at anything that offered SO long as
there was hope of making an honest
dollar. At one time he was on ranch
in Texas, at another miner for gold.
Time passed, his debts were outlawed.
but not forgotten. A few months ago he
went to Denver and invested what he
had land it was but little outside of pluck
and business training, in mine. 1t paid
largely and he made money rapidly.
The first money he received was sent
East and one by one his debts were paid
dollar for dollar. In some cases he re-
called debts others had forgotten and in
no case did he ask for cent reduction.
Yesterday the last dollar was paid and
from this time forward he will be work
ing for himself. Scores who knew
bright .sMel'' Dalton will rejoice at his
good luck.

A GAME FOR FUN.
The Portlandu Have a Game with the
Portland Reds.


Yesterdays exhibition game as far as
the score was concerned did not at any
time become exciting, but the Portland
people were given a chance to witness
the trial of the new battery opposed to a
team composed of many well known
players.
Mr.. Rich of Bethel made his first ap-
pearance behind the bat. He caught
Bowley in the first five innings, Morse in
the next three, and Captain Annis in the
last, and in all but the throwing to bases
he did good work. With six times at
the bat he got four hits, with two flies,
and three runs.
The Portland Reds, under Webster's
management, were made up as follows:
Madden, IS. s. 2b.
Webster, C.
McGOvern, If.
Woodbury., 3D. & p.
McAndrews, lib.
Griffin, If
Roach, p. & IS.
Andrews, CT.
Roach pitched the first inning, after
which Woodbury. was put in. Most Of
the interest centered in tMike'' Madden,
who played short stop and second base.
The crowd was disappointed in not see
ing him in the box, but it was ascer-
tanned that his arm was not in pitching
condition.
Burns did not play, but rested his in
jured foot for the Salem game, and Carey
played a very creditable game at short.
