The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-08-25

A numberof large establishments in New
York provide suitable bodily refreshment
for their hundreds Of employees. This is
given in some part of the building, so that
from the hour Of report for duty till tho
hour Of dismissal there Is no excuse for
leaving the place. Restaurants in these
business houses for customers arc now
quite general. Retail stores thatsell every
thing within the range Of domestic require
ment must keep the customer in good
humor and fair bodily trim, and there Is
nothing like nice lunch at low price to
do this. s.-NeW York Harald.

The Prices Paid for Female slaves in
Turkey.
The poisoning of four beautiful oda-
lisques, or female slaves of the imperial
harem of the Sultan Of Turkey,
prompted by the jealousy Of the other
women, brings to mind the fact that the
slave trade is the chief source OF re-
cruits for the harem
The trade is conducted almost eXclu-
sively by a tribe Of Tcherkesses known
as Iessirdchis. Families generally
work together. One brother, for ex-
ample, stops at home ana minds the
shop while the other goes abroad and
purchases and forwards the raw
material OF the commerce. NEGOTIATIONS
with purchasers are conducted through
the intermediary of Arab brokers. who
call regularly on their patrons to in

black eunuchs or white girls and are re-
munerated by percentage on sales.

in Speaker Crafts place and delivered
his inaugural, which was listened to
with the greatest interest.
After Governor Altgeld had concluded
his inaugural address the joint session
was dissolved. The Senate returned to
it's chamber, where Lieutenant Governor
Ray introduced his successor to the
Senators and then handed him the gavel
as the symbol of authority. Lieutenant
Governor Gill delivered brief address,
and taking his place raped three times
with the gavel and inquired: What is
the pleasure of the Senate?" This was
the last act in the work of transferring
the powers of office from the outgoing
to the incoming officials. The Senate
then adjourned.

system, the number OF eonviCts in our ueni-
tentiartes would be greatly reduced and all
problems involved in the treatment OF crimi-

more easily solved.
Redistricting.
The redistricting OF the state viii be one o.
the most important duties devolving upon this
General Assembly. II will be difficult to so
redistrict the State as to do exact Justice to
all interests and parties. Nevertheless every
effort should he made to come as near doing so
as possible. As a rule, injustice dement's no

AC4LL F0R HELP.

Brunswick, the brave little city by the
sea, has issued an appeal for help
Approaching the necessity of prompt
aid the following message was sent
to Washington addressed to Senators
Gordon and Colquitt, Speaker Glisp,
Hon. H. G. Turner and all of the mem
bers of the Georgia delegation in con
gress
The situation here is distressing. We
are shut off from the outside world.
Starvation stares the poor people in the
face. The refugees, the ordinary bread
winners, with their families, have left
the city without means. About four
thousand people are left in the city un
able to procure supplies. There is inn
mediate need of provisions and money,
and time is an important element. We
8DDeal In behalf of a stricken people for
immediate aid and confidently rely upon
the heart of the great American people
and the government to respond.
1t is evident that the authori lies Of the
city expect the disease to spread.
Otherwise they would not have so
promptly issued the appeal for aid. 1t
is an appeal which meets with a prompt
and hearty response We do not doubt
that help is greatly needed The dis
ease it is true, has made little progress,
but the panic produced by its appearance
has ST pped the operations of the indus
tries by which most If .he working pee
pie earned their cad.
It should be remembered that the APP
pearance of the fever is only one OF a
series of misfortunes which I'VE recent
overtaken Brunswick. The failure OF
banks and leading business establish
ments had already reduced or destroyed
the ready resources of many of the we'll
TODD citizens. The community was not
prepared to meet this added calamity.

IN RAD LUcK.

1t appears that the recent acti Of
the Georgia State Farmers Alliance at
its meeting at Griffin may result in
trouble for the State Alliance Exchange,
the mercantile branch of the ord~r.
At the state meeting it was decided
that the Alliance should purchase a
newspaper organ, and further decided to
purchase the Living Issues" the paper
which succeeded the Southern Alliance
Farmer as the official newspaper of the
state organization.
The directors of the Alliance exchange
also voted an appropriation to assist in
buying the paper, but now it is said that
some of the stockholders will g into the
courts and ask for an injunction against
the directors to prevent them from pay
ing out the money appropriated.
1t is more than likely that if the mat
teronce gets into court it will result in
the appointment OF receiver for the eX-
change and the winding up of its affairs.
Two much ''organ'' is one thing that
hurt the order so badly year ago.
