Harrison has received from John f..
Healy, consul at Funchal, Madison
Island, 4 cane made from the wood of a
house in Porto Santo, one of tho islands
occupied by Christopher Columbus at
the time he was resident there.
Columbus married the daughter of
Perestrello, who was the governor or
ruler of the island. He was sailor
and explorer OF note himself, and tho
discovery of the Madeiras is by some
attributed to him. Tho cane is of dark
wood, but unlike most of the growth of
that locality, is comparatively light A
similar cane was also forwarded w. E.
Curtis, who has charge of the Columbia N

gramme was a musical rendition by a

This was excellently executed, and very
favorably received. This was followed

pirate manner by Prot. 9. l.. Gilbert, OF

TELEGRAPH1o NEWS.
Rnvages of Cholera.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 25.-Yester-
days new cases of cholera were 174 in
excess of those reported Tuesday, and the
deaths were "a in excess OF those re
ported the same day. Yesterdays totals
for Russia, according to official figures,
were 5679 new cases and 2743 deaths.
The disease is spreading 10 this city, but
the people now show little concern about
it. The number of new cases reported
here ia larger, but the death rate is
smaller. The doctors say the disease is
less virulent in Its character, and that in
addition to this the number of deaths
has been lessened By better arrangements
for the treatment of patients. When the
disease FIRST became epidemic the physi-
clans of the city were greatly overworked,
but now a number of doctors from other
places. are serving in the hospitals and
much closer attention can be given to
sufferers. The number of hospital atten
dants has also been largely increased.
There has been no relaxation of strict
sanitary regulations, and any violation is
met with prompt punishment. 1t is be-.
lieved the custom that prevails among
the poorer classes, many of whom during
the summer leave the city and live at
Staraya, Nosaya; Derevyns, Polustnovo
and other suburbs of St. Petersburg, has
done much to prevent the mortality in
the city from being greater. As yet
these places have been little affected with
the disease.

Self Reform Societies.

The Worlds Aduance Thought, OF Portland
Oregon, has issued the following preamble
aud resolutions for the institution of self
! reform societies:
Realizing the very great necessity for the
reform of humanity, and believing that
this reform must be brought about largely
by individual self-reform. To this end we
institute a society and adopt the following
preamble and resolutions as basis from
which to work:
WHEREAS. The reformatory effects of
humanity, thus far, have been mainly de-
voted to trying to eliminate evils in Others.
by external appeals in the form of speeches,
writings and arguments to prove the efficacy
of certain methods or theories to reform the
race, while those advancing them seem not
to understand that reform comes from
within, and must be evolved for ones self;
and that only through self reform can one
help to reform the race. Be it therefore
RESOLVED, That we, the undersigned, con-
stltute ourselves into society tor self-re-
form, to try to live in harmony with all life.
ResoEued, That we shall endeavor to so
guard our thoughts that we shall only evolve
good ones; that we will neither think nor
the provocation; and that we will strive
perslstently to be the embodiment OF love
ann good will.
Resolved. That so far as lies within our
power We will not leave any Effort untried,
nor let an opportunity pass to help our
fellow beings.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1892-08-27

be sufficient inducement to suggest to
every enterprislng man, woman and child in
the state that an unusual effort be made
towards presenting at our exposition some-
thing from every part of tn state, to the
end that the same, at the proper time may
be forwarded to Chicago.
Our sister states on the Goa are making
great effort; and although the legislature
of Oregon has failed to make any p' DIVISION
towards state exhibit at Chicago, we have
no doubt that individual effort on the part
of the citizens of Oregon will bring us up to
the standard of Washington and California,
where the legislatures have appropriated
large amounts for the representation OF their
respective states at the Worlds Colum bla
Exposition. Twelve counties have already
signified their intention of coming in with
county exhibits. and it is the desire to give
every county an opportunity to show what
it boasts of, and what it has in the way OF
Inducements TO settlement. To enable each
county to exhibit, the different transporta
rion lines have given greatly reduced rates.
These rates take effect August 18th, and are
as follows:
All articles for exhibition at the Portland
E position. on which full taIlff rates may
be paid to the exposition, will be returned
free to point of origin, ii on the railroad
line, and to junction point if on an origrnat.
ing or connecting line. All that Is re-
qulred is, that the shipper shall present,
within five days at er the close of the exp
sition. certificate signed by the secretary,
stating that the articles have been on ex.
hibition, and have not changed ownership.
The only exclusion is race horses. Articles
of perishable nat re, that for any reason
may not be returned, and on which full
tariff rates have been paid to the exposition,
will be treated as follows: Consignees of
such articles shall be refunded amounts
paid, on presentation and surrender to the
agent of the original expense-blll. accom-.
panied by a certificate from the secretary of
the exposition, to the effect that the goods
were on exhibition, have not been sold, and
no revenue derived from them.
The premiums this year exceed, IN amount
and number, those of all former years.

pared historical chan ts, the fine objective
points OF attack on the part of the English.
viz: Ft. Daquesne, LouIsburg and Acadia,

arithmetic from Plper's Graded Seat Work.
His eternal vigilance over the class places
every one on the alert, and preceptible
change can ready be noticed in the teach
ers, IN making rapid calculations IN aliquots

A new device in written spelling was then
introduced by Prof. Rigler, designed to
furnish each member of the class with the
fall benefit OF the whole exercise and yet
avoid the probability of receiving aid. The
class facing the biackbo number alter
