Daniel, the Faithful.
GEORGE DARSIE.

Babylon was the greatest city OF
ancient times. Two of the seven
wonders of the world were there, it's
walls and it's hanging gardens. The
walls of Babylon were three hundred
feet high, eighty feet wide at the top,
and altogether they extended fora dis
lance of fity-six miles. The hanging
gardens within the city were con-
istructed in order to soothe the
home sickness of the Median queen.
Pining for her native hills and noun
tains, amid the level plains of Baby
Ion, the king upreared hills and noun
tains in the very heart of the city,
for her sake, supporting them on
immense arches and pillars that were
marvels of engineering skill, cover
ing them with full grown forests and
interspersing them with lakes and
streams and beautiful cascades, all
of which reproduced every phase
and variety of the wild and rugged
scenery to which the eyes of the
exiled princess had been accustomed.
The most magnificent religious struc-
ture ever built on this earth adorned
the city. 1t was the famous temple
of Bel, the descriptions of which read
like some tale of the Arabian Nights.
And in it were deposited for safe
keeping those sacred vessels taken by
force of arms from the temple Of
Jehovah at Jerusalem, Nebuchadnez-
Ear little dreaming at the time that
he was but preserving them against
the day when his successor should
order their return to the restored
sanctuary of the Jews upon the sum-
NIT of Moriah.
Into this great city, at the age of IL
before the destruction of Jerusalem
Babylon. He was of noble if not of
royal blood. 1t was the policy of the
kings Of Babylon to select the bright
est youths among a people captur-
ed in war and to educate them at
dom of the time, that they might be
understanding and ruling their own
people. 1t was statesmanlike policy.
The history of Daniel opens at the
beginning of his three year course of
education at the B2bylonian court.
And as we study..his character, even
then, as all through his long, useful
and honorable pubic career as high
official, both under the dominion of
Babylon and of Persia, we find no
other quality standing out so boldly
and strikingly as his answering and
invincible faithfulness.
He was faithful to himself and to
all his convictions of right and duty.
There was no surrender of his re-
ligion to the reigning fashion or to
the ceaseless effort to persuade and
induce him to exchange it for that of
Babylon. True to its requirements
he refused to defile himself with the
kings meat and wine appointed for
his nourshment. 1t was not Daniels
temperance principles which stood
in his way, but his religious scruples,
the royal fare having all been first
offered in sacrifice to the false gods
of Babylon, and the partaking of it
involving in Daniels view, the recog-
milton and worship of idols.
He was faithful also to every man

A Breezy Skirt Dance.

Saturday night, after returning
from the opera, Jim Stuart retired in
his chamber connected with j. A.
Wilson's drug store. He had been in
bed but few moments, when he rec
objected that he failed to bring in
the thermometer which hung on the
casing outside the front door, and got
up and went out to get it, without
dressing. AS he stepped out of the
door, however, gust of wind shut
the door and the spring lock fastened
him out. This left him on the street
in most terrible plight, and he put
in his time dancing the skirt dance
until private Waterman Ben Spears
came along and volunteered to walk
over to Mt. Airy to Mr.. Wilson's resi-
dence, where he procured a, key, re-
turned and let the swing dancer" in
out of the weather. Bourbon Ne,os.

ROUTES RHEUMATIsM.-Mr Charles
Lawrence, of Ashland, Nebraska, de-
sires that sufferers from Rheumatism
should know his experience with S.
S. S., and writes under date of July
81, 1891, that he was great sufferer
from acute rheumatism for more
than six months. He had quite a
number of physicians to treat him,
and also took other medicines, with
out any permanent benefit. A friend
told him to try S. S. S. He did so,
and used only four BOTTLES, which
cured him sound and well. He
recommends it to all who suffer from
rheumatism. Rheumatism has been
conceded to be trouble in the blood,
and we have numbers of reports from
the most reliable people in the coun-
try that it has cured the most ag-
gravated cases. We certainly recon-
mend every sufferer to send for our
treatise on blood and skin diseases,
which will be mailed free. Address,

such if the right one could be had. Such
an opportunity did occur and your COM
mittee have the pleasure OF reporting
that the association owns the valuable
property situated on the corner of High
and Free streets, fronting Congress
square and known as the f. o. Libby es-
tate. That your committee were enabled
to secure this valuable property is an
evidence of the good feeling and interest
manifested by some of the friends of the
association. Although according to the
terms of our pledge we were not in a
position to call for payments on the sub
scriptions, yet for the simple asking, we
were enabled to raise money sufficient to
meet the terms of sale of said property,
paid cash $10,500, giving a mortgage for
the balance of $4,000 at per cent in
terest. The property is rented on a lease
which has four years to run from next
May. The rental of the property is
81, $50 per wear. which takes care of our
interest charge of 5000, insurance and
leaves a small balance for repairs, incl
dentals, etc. We are planning for more
aggressive work in the near future,
should it please the association to keep
this committee in existence.
We earnestly solicit the hearty CO.
operation of every member of this asso-
citation during the year before us, that
we may be able to place our subscription
list at the top notch.
Respectfully submitted,

THE FLOUR INSPECTOR.
The Flour Dealers and Grocers' Asso
citation Appoint Their Own Inspector.

| The Wholesale Grocers and Flour Deal
ers' Association held an important meet
ing yesterday afternoon, President Mel
cher in the chair. 1t was the largest
meeting held by the association for years.
The cause of the meeting was the recent
action of the Mayor appointing, and the
aldermen electing, Charles N. Noble in
spector of flour.
Some two weeks ago a petition was
presented Mayor Ingraham, signed by all
the -four dealers in town, except two
and those two do not find it necessary to
have their..fou inspected-asking for the
re-appointment of Charles S. Bickford,
for twenty years inspector and thor
oughly competent man. This petition
was signed irrespective of party. The
petitioners asked that the appointment
be laid over for week. When the APP
pointment was made, last Monday night,
Mr.. Mobiles candidacy was not backed
only two flour dealers and those men do
not require -four inspection.
The flour dealers consequently made
inquiry and ascertained that in all states
cdSC VI lllIuOlS, tuo louI Inspectors III
each commercial city are appointed by
the chambers of commerce. In Portland
we have no chamber Of commerce and
the Flour Dealers and Grocers' Associa-
ton would stand in its place in the mat
ter of appointment of inspector of flour.
Furthermore the city ordinances say the
law appointing the inspector is permits
sive, not mandatory. Any person deemed
competent by dealers in flour to inspect
the flour may be agreed upon and desig-
mated to inspect and brand -four in such
manner as they please, provided they do
not interfere with individual or corpor-
ate rights.
Consequently, Mr.. Bickford will be the
flour dealers and grocers' inspector, and
has given $4,000 bonds for the proper per-
Torrance of the duties. The pay comes
from each dealer whose flour is inspect
ed, not from the city. The grain of the
past season, which is even now coming
to market, has in many cases been frozen
and thawed, and it is of vital Importance
that an inspector should be able to nose
out all defective consignments.
There does not seem to be anything for
the city inspector to do and no city salary

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Dear Irish Boy.

Tonight, Friday, Saturday and matinee
will be presented at Portland Theatre,
"The Dear Irish Boy" play which
abounds in tragic and sensational Incl
dents, largely mixed with that mirth
which is as indispensable factor from
Irish character as the sparkle from
champagne The interest is sustained
from start to finish. The piece is said to
be beautifully staged, and contains some
of the handsomest and most elaborate
scenic effects ever produced. The view
of the ruins of Dare Castle by moonlight,
is triumph of art and scenic effect.
While the story it tells is conventional,
it is interesting for it's rapid action,
stage setting, sharp repartee, wit, color
ing, and the dancing and singing that are
inseparable in plays of its kind.
Duff Opera Company.
The tickets are selling we'll at Stock
bridges for the performances to be given
by the Duff Opera Co. The fact that
Bettina Gerard will appear in the COM
pany brings to mind chain of interest
ing incidents. Several summers ago, at
the old Bryn Mawr Hotel, sever of the
gilded youth of Philadelphia were des-
perately in love with pretty Betty Ord
way. She married Padelford in Wash
ington when she was only II, and year
after she was a mother. Then trouble
began to brew; Mrs. Padeford went on
the stage; there was divorce, or, as
others claim, separation. Bette Ord
way worked hard at her profession, and
changed her name to Bettina Gerard.
There was report that she was known
in private life as Mrs. John ]. Rafael
Mr.. Raffael's operate debut was with the
McCaul company when that organization
was at the height of it's fame, and he is
now singing important roles in the Duff
company.

The Stockbridge extra and matinees
should not be forgotten. They are all
the best of entertainments and by buying
course tickets you save considerable.
