from a correspondent:
In moving to a new place OF resi-
dence we found on the premises a
large cat which had been left there
by former occupant. She was not
of the real domestic kind, but lived
principally in the barn, occasionally
venturing into the house 10 obtain
her food. On one occasion, much TO
the surprise Of my wife, she came up
to her and mewed several times. turn

Funeral of Robert Bybee.

Robert E. Bybee, who died recently
in California, was buried in Portland
today. Mr.. Bybee is the son of James
E. Bybee, one of the old pioneer horse
men of Oregon. The latter became
famous through the wonderful perform
ances of the horse Guigo, who, under
his direction and training, won 81 out of
81 races in 1890. Robert Bybee was the
owner of Misty Morn, Sea Breeze and
other noted racers now at the Blood
Horse track in California. Mr.. Bybee
left Portland about six weeks ago with
his horses, to attend the meeting at the
Bay city.
Few men are better known in horse
circles than Mr.. Bybee. Portland has
been his constant home for the past 25
years. He studied law and was admit
ted to practice in 1866. He followed his
profession in Portland for many years;
but more recently has devoted his time
and attention almost exclusively to
horses.

stranger claiming to be lawyer, a
member of well-known Portland law

Suspecting something was wrong the
fellow was arrested and is now in Jail.
AS he is well connected and seems to

swindler, his father has been furnished

This is the same man spoken of in the
East Oregonian in the following article
and readers of that paper may be inter-
ested to know that he is in Jail here:
"Fhere was a confidence scheme
worked on couple of Pendleton gentle
men, the other day, which had an
amusing outcome. A man called at the
Office of the well known attorney, G. H.
Carter and stated that he was from
the University of Virginia. He
called by name all the members of the
faculty and was also evidently
acquainted with many of the citizens of
the town in which the school is located.
His name was Black, and he wanted a
small sum of money with which to pro-
cure that with which to satisfy the crav-
ings of the inner man. The above
named attorney is inclined to be philan-
thropic and loaned him $40, ''until the
bank opened in the morning" That
evening, the same stranger called on
another attorney in Pendleton, T. G.
Haley, and claimed to be brother of
Mr.. Pointdexter, of Walla Walla. OF
this attorney he also borrowed some
money and departed for Portland. Up
on telephoning to Walla WaIla, it was
ascertained that the impecunious stran-
ger had worked the same scheme in
that place. A telegram was then sent
to Writ Minor, of whom the stranger
spoke Familiarity, in Portland saying
''Look out for man from the University
of Virginia. with striped pants.o
That same day brother of Mr.. Car
ter, who sent the dispatch, called on
Mr.. Minor, who sent back the following
''Man from the University of Virginia
here. Thanks" It appears that the
brother was graduate of that institu-
ton, and happened to have on striped
pants.'

The orIno1Ine craze.

The Telegram is first to report the ar
rival of crinoline in Portland. Itstarted
in Europe, crossed the stormy Atlantic,
reached in safety the New England
shores, and, like vast engulfing tidal
wave. has been moving toward the wild
and woody west. It has set all the world
agog. Women have raved over it, the
press has teemed with accounts OF its
progress, and the pulpit has not been
silent over the Threatened invasion of
the famous hoop-skirt. The tall hat,
which has been SO long and go loudly
execrated by all male theater and opera
goers, is no longer in the contests, and
must be content to take back seat for
the present. As yet, only one well-au-
thenticated Cease" has been reported in
Portland, though it is no hazard to pre-
dict that the new fashionable fad will
soon assume an epidemic form among
the ladies of the city.
Last evening the Marquam theater-
goers caught the first fugitive glimpse of
crinoline which has been seen in Port
land for probably quarter of century.
To old-timers the sight was not SO novel,
but to hundreds of pairs of young eyes
it was a sort of wonder, revelation in
the great world of fashion. The lady to
whom the credit belongs of introducing
the coming style of dress in this city
entered the crowded auditorium last
evening and advanced down the aisle to
seat in the parquet. A great many
persons who had not obtained seats were
standing in the vestibule when the lady
quietly entered and started down the
aisle. A sudden hush fell over the
crowds, the subdued hum of conversa-
ton was suspended and the lady with
the crinoline instantly became the
cynosure of all eyes asN she passed
through the ranks and down to her seat.
AS if moved by common impulse,
every one stood aside to make room for
the lady. 1t is unnecessary to say
everybody looked, and, for few mo-
ments, the incident caused no small
futter of excitement, especially among
the ladies present. Now that the social
ice is broken, it is very probable that
hoop-skirts will not long be novelty on
the streets of Portland.
