Gov. WILLIAM MCKINLEY, JR., OF
Ohio, it is reported, has determined to
drop the CIR" from his name at the
end of his present term of Office. He
would have done so Immediately after
the death of his father, who had borne
the same name, but it was held by
some that, as he was elected as ''Wil.
liam Mckinley, Jr.," some compiled.
tions might follow a change of his sig
nature. His name will be printed
William Mckinley on the ballots this
fall.

SOME of the new congressman are
not deeply read in the history of the
United States if the Washington
papers tell the truth. A newly elected
representative from Missouri was
introduced to Senator Sherman the
other day and shook the Ohio states
man warmly by the hand, saying:
ZACH, senator, vas glad to see you. I
hat heard of you more times as I hat
hairs on my head. You vas from At
lanta, hey?" He is believed to have
acquired his information respecting
the Sherman family from wen-known
patriotic song.

HIBBERT's GORE is the one place in
Maine where taxes are unknown. Only
six families reside there-forty persons
in all. The Gore comprises three hun
dred acres, bounded by Waldo, Knox
and Lincoln counties, and by some
mistake was omitted by the engineers
when these counties were laid out.
Having no connection with any county
and never having been organized as a
town or a. plantation, the residents Of
the Gore neither pay taxes nor vote.
They build their own roads, however,
and send their children to the schools
near by. By special provision of the
statutes the paupers of the Gore are
cared for by the oldest adjoining town,
Palermo, but there have been only
three paupers in the last forty years.

The Modern Old Maid.

The term girl bachelor" is new
coinage seemingly destined to take the
place of the worn-out ''old maid, p"
which has long since lost its sting, if,
indeed, it ever had any. The girl
bachelor of to-day is a well-poised, in
dependent, generally self-supporting
Young woman, who does not see in
matrimony the chief end and aim of
feminine existence and who finds in
the companionship of other women the
many opportunities for helpful work
that she needs. Plenty of the most
agreeable social life is to be seen at
her woman's club, which benefcent in.
situations, like mushrooms, are spring
ing up all over the country. Here she
meets dozens of kindly, pleasant, wise
and attractive women, and thus keeps
in touch with all matters of interest in
the literary, artistic and social world.
Her own rooms are also the meeting
place of many congenial spirits.
Should she wish to travel the world is
her own from the north pole to the
pyramids, with every modern facility
for seeing and observing within her
reach. All this does not imply that
women are growing averse to matri-
mony and family cares, but that many
who are not so constituted as to find in
it their truest happiness are finding
other channels for their activities, and
are no longer doomed to the loveless,
contracted life of the old-time "old
maid"

In one of the small towns of New
England where gossiping is rife among
the well-to-do inhabitants, and per-
sonal quarrels are apt to be frequent,
there once dwelt two highly respected
citizens who had become estranged
over some trivial incident and were
consequently much more bitter in their
luminosity than would have been the
case, probably, had they quarreled
over weighticr matters. CHANGING to
meet one day on narrow sidewalk,
ole of them drew himself up haughtily
and exclaimed: 81 never turn out for q
rascal" 81 always do" rejoined the
other, and with low bow and grace
full sweep of his arm he stepped out
into the street and passed on, leaving
his rival baff1ed and dumfounded.

"MEN who have worked hard all
their lives and who have accumulated
means more than amply sufficient to
enable them to live without work for
the rest of their days, and who have
tried doing nothing, tell me-" said a
citizen of New York city recently, "that
idleness soon becomes irksome, and
that they can find no real rest and
recreation except in constant labor
have no doubt that this is true as a
general proposition. But with the
proneness of the individual member of
mankind to believe that he may es-
cape the operation of laws that seem
inexorably to govern others, am in
clined to think that if I were comfort
ably fixed financially 1 could stand
idleness for quite spell before being
seriously disturbed by desire to
work"

occurred yesterday near where the
wreck of the Great Republic lies. Two
fishermen employed by George &
Barker were capsized in the breakers,
but were rescued by the life-saving
crew. One Of the men clambered on to
the bottom Of the boat, while the other
grasped the net and proceeded to
surround himself with as many of the
corks as possible. He was found in
this position when the life-saving crew
arrived and his companion was taken
from his damp perch on the overturned
boat. The latter was saved, as was
also the entire equipment. The trim
little launch Ida Hazel, belonging to
the Hanthorn. cannery. towed the boat
in to shore.

CHECK THE FIRST APPROACH


OF rheumatism, and further attacks
may be escaped, if proper precautions
against exposure are taken, and there
be no hereditary predisposition. I'm
fortunately, people who ultimately be-
come chronic sufferers, too often neg
lect the trifling twinges and premoni-
tory stiffness which herald the advent
of this agonizing malady. Among the
diseases for which Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters has been found efficacious this
is one, and the medicine being perfect
ly safe, it is certainly to be preferred
to drugs used for its cure, which are
frequently useless, and nothing more
or less than poisonous. The substitu-
ton of this pleasant and pure blood
depurent for medicines inimical to life
in a slight overdose, is a measure
which may fitly be urged upon persons
who desire to obtain relief safely, or
who have failed to obtain it from the
numerous pseudo remedies for this dis
ease in the market.

number of property owners met
yesterday afternoon at the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce for the pur-
pose of discussing the question of ex-
orbitant taxation. A few ago The As
torian called attention to the fact
that Clatsop county was paying more
than her proportion of state taxation
and the property owners have at last
awakened to the stern necessity Of
taking some action in the premises.
Most of those present at yesterday
afternoons meeting were of the opin-
ion that it was advisable that all Of
the owners Of realty should, if possible,
be represented, and for that reason,
it was determined to postpone formal
discussion of the question until the
evening of June Sd, when it is expected
that every one interested will be in
attendance at the Chamber of. Com
merce rooms.

The customs officials have made no
new discoveries recently in tracing the
forged certificates to their source. THEY
have, of course, opinions indicating
the circumstances, and by whom the
documents were forged, but no positive
proof has thus far been obtained. One
of the officers thinks it possible that a
copy of a certificate was secured by
some operator in China and that near
ly all of the documents were forged
in that country. Then again, the theory
is advanced that some one having the
necessary material went over to China
from this portion of the country and
engaged in a wholesale forgery busi-
ness on spot delivery basis. Suspicion
points strongly in two or three direc-
tions, and it is not unlikely that pros
ecutions may yet prove to be the out
coma
