The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1893-07-21

James Parton would not do hasty
work. He was methodical, patient, reg
ular and persistent, and in time he had
become so able to control his mind that
it responded to his will like the body to
his mind. He did not tax himself to
work out great feats within a short time,
or if he was hard pressed he gave him
self rest as soon as the strain was over.
He did not burn midnight oil, neither
did he resort 10 wine on tobaccoias slim
ulants to his brain. He was one Of the
most temperate men | have ever known.
Hekept his faculties every day as near
as he could at their best, and life AoWed
on from day to day with an evenness and
a quietness that made his home lifehot
only pleasant for others, but beautiful in
itself.
His habits were to breakfast about
half past 7, then to work in his garden
in the summer for an honr, and then to
shut himself in his workroorn, where he
could be sure to be undisturbed until
half past 10. Then he dined, and after
that, in his later years, took a nap. Then
he was ready for callers or visits to
friends, or for the reading which might
be required for the work Of the next day.
After tea he was usually the companion
Of his family, hearing his wife or niece
read aloud some book or magazine, and
this was his daily round, unless broken
in upon, month after month, year in and
year out. He did not often go to Boston
or New York or seek large number of
literary acquaintances, and yet he was
never unsocial. He was the light and
life Of two clubs in NewbuFyport, and he
was extremely fond of a good square
talk, in which he was fred up to his ut
most,-Rev. J. H. Ward in New Eng
land Magazine.

photographed for 80 years and would not ad-
init artists or reporters to his office or home
the editors were in quandary. He finally
waived his objections, however, and sat for
the portrait. This picture incident is an
index to one side Of the attorney generals
character, It shows that while he is man
OF very strong convictions he is still open
to argument.
Richard Olney is probably the best paid
lawyer in New England He has practiced
at the Boston bar for over 80 years and has
for some time been attorney for number
Of great railroad corporations, including
the Boston and Maine, the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy and the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe This practice is said
to net him an income OF $4,000 year,
Mr.. Olney has never before held Office, al
though be was once an unsuccessful candi-
date for attorney general Of Massachusetts.
He has always been Democrat, and twice
declined to accept place on the supreme
bench Of Massachusetts. He is warm
friend of General P A. Collins, and this
friendship is supposed to have some influ-
ence in his selection for attorney general,
although he has summer home near Gray
Gables and has often met Mr.. Cleveland at
Buzaard's Bay.
Mr. Olney descends from a fighting"
Baptist family. His ancestor implanted
the church in America, and other ancestors
hewed their way through colonial wars. He
Is quiet and studious man and has given

She Got q Sent.

Avery pretty girl stepped into crowd
ed car on the College avenue line, She
belonged in the high school and wasn't
in the habit of standing up The carwas
full. but everybody else had seat. Seven
men held down the most available ones,
and, strange to relate, not one Of them
appeared to be aware that a young wom-
an was compelled to stand.
The pretty girl, with quick glance Of
disgust about the car, took in the situa-
tion and blushed somewhat Indignantly.
She had long distance to ride and
couldn't cling gracefully to strap. Two
squares had been travelled when an idea
took possession Of her classical mind,
Out came the miniature purse from the
embroidered silk reticule, and the little
hands fumbled among a few silver coins.
A nickel dropped to the floor and rolled
to the far end of the car. This is part of
the plan, but it is executed dexterously,
and the passengers pity her. She blushed
and murmured, "How awkward Of me-"
Unsteadily she started after the nickel,
but seven men intercepted the movement
and rushed to the point, as the artful
maiden dropped into d comfortable seat
with sigh and deftly hid roguish smile.
The 5-cent piece was rendered by aman
who assumed her place at the strap. She
thanked him and looked all innocence. =

The Question 81 rooa and nrink.

Fancy being confronted with the ques-
ton, what kind Of food and drink do
you prefer3" and only half Of a rather
narrow page in which to inscribe the an
swer, How could one answer such
question in such spaceF for ones ideas
as to food and drink vary so much with
the hours Of the day, Morning, tea or
coffee very likely, with breakfast bacon
or kidneys or fried sole or plain boiled
eggs. But who wants boiled eggs and
coffee at his luncheon2 Then, again, dry
champagne is generally favorite drink
at dinner, but we do not usually care for
it at luncheon, and late at night most
men have a preference for whisky and
soda and would not care in the least for
Pommery or Roederer, Then man may
have strong liking for oysters, and also
for olives, and how is he to get in all
his opinions on these various questionsof
taste as to food and drink Exchange.

covered with light wood, and are not to
weigh over 1,500 pounds each. They will
be pointed at both ends, so as to offer the
least possible resistance to atmospheric
pressure, and speed Of from two to three
miles a minute is said to be quite possible
for them.
They will run on a single track road
elevated on iron columns The crossbealns
on top Of theposts will be about six feet long,
sufficient to support two single rails, on
which cars will be suspended, The transit
ON one of these rails will be in the direction
opposite to that on the other, and the cars
will be firmly held in place and perfectly
secured against tipping or running off the
track by a grooved wheel, which is to be
the motor.
Above the car there will be two separate
wheels Of from to s feet in diameter, one
on each end of the ear, and beneath on one
side Of the car will be four guide wheels,
which will run on continuous side rail
secured to the sides of the posts, thus PIE
venting any swinging motion from rapidity
Of transit or the wind. These guide rails
answer also for a conductor Of the electric
current, the upper rail supplying the re-
turn current, connection being made
through the motor attached to the car
wheels, thus forming the circuit.

AFTER each of the several railroad accidents of the recent past, the officer! of the roads have announced that "tht guilty party" is a switchman. or a con ductor, or some other person who wal undoubtedly to blame; but at the same time that fact does not relieve the rail. road company itself of responsibility. The passenger who buys ticket does not ask whom the company employs for this or that work He takes it for granted that the company hires or en- ters into contract with reliable men, and in the opinion of the public, if not al- ways in the eyes of the law, the company is sharer in the blame when the men prove incompetent.

Boston Wool Market.

The total receipts of wool at this port during the past week comprise 6,0ll bags and bales domestic and -----bales foreign, against 1862 bags and bales domestic, 4,O2S foreign for the same time last year. The total receipts since Jan. l. 1893, comprise 402,535 bags and bales domestic and l50, 460 bales foreign. against 5lS,77l bags and bales domestic and 155,1S2 bales of foreign for the same time in 1892.
 Tho sales for the week comprise l.. 4s2, 800 lbs. of domestic fleece and pulled, and 4s, ,00O lbs. foreign, making the weeks transactions foot up l,5S0,- 500 lbs, against 2,s72,5oo for the pre-. viou, week, and S,293, ,OO0 lbs. domes. tic and 63S, ,00o lbs. foreign for the cor responding week last year.
 The situation shows no improvement, sales falling of considerably. under the less demand that comes in supplies. The woollen mills that have started up find the outlook very uncertain, and If orders do not come in moro readily, much machinery will again be stopped. It is said that many of the Rhode Island mills will close down for 80 days, and cut wages lo@2o per cent. before they again start up. The depression caused by the expected tariff change is bad enough, but the silver situation also causes an unsettled feeling to pre- vail, which has taken all confidence out the trade. Manufacturers are only making goods on orders, and the latter do not pan out to any extent.
 Territory wools move fairly com- pared with other grades, but the de- mand has fallen of largely since the recent big sales. The secured basis for choice warp wools is yet about 35936c. for fine medium, with choice fine held at 37(940c.. the latter being for fancy. Buyers are buying to finish up goods now in course of manufacture. but to tempt them to go beyond this. liberal concession would have to be made. A fair amount of Texas wool is on the market. which Is quoted about the same as territory. California wools move slowly with the secured basis nomip. ally about 2s9SSc. for fall, with defec- tive at 20G26c.

The Fountain Head of Strength.

When we recollect that tho stomach is the grand laboratory in which the food is transformed into the secreti0ns which furnish vigor to the system after entering and enriching the blood; that it is. in short. tho fountain head of strength, it Is essential to keep this im- portant supplying machine in ordsf, and to restore it to activity when 1t be- comes inactive. This Hostetter's Stom- ach bitters does most effectually, sea sonably, regulating and reinforcing di- gestion, promoting due action of the liver and bowels. Strength and quiet ude of the nerves depend in great measure upon thorough digestion. There is no nervine tonic more highly esteemed by the medical fraternity than the bitters. Physicians also strongly commend it for chills and fever. rheum- atism, kidney and bladder trouble, sick headache, and want of appetite and sleep. Take a wineglassful three times a day.

--------------------- Arizona's Coal Deposits.

The discovery of new coal fields in Sonora, Mexico, is the subject of much favorable comment by our exchanges from southern Arizona. Judging from the tone of some of the notices given, it is strange that so many of the news papers of that section know nothing of the large coal fields lying in Coconino and Apache counties. These fields are the largest west of the continental di- vide, and will supply the Pacific coast for ages to come, In many places the coal deposits are 40 feet deep and 20 feet wide, and contains the best of coal for domestic purposes.
 These fields commence east of the Little Colorado river, and extend north cast to the San Juan, covering many hundreds of square miles oi valuable coal lauds.
 In eastern Apache county. northeast of St. Johns. there are also large coal fields which are inexhaustible. There is DO need for Arizona to look outside of hero limits for supply of fuel for the present or future.
 The reason that these coal deposits remain untouched is that they are, at present, too far from the railroad, and that there is but little demand for coal, beyond the supply now made from the Gallup coal fields. With greater de. mand, roads will be built to the new source of supply, and Arizona can sup ply the world with coal.

For what is the greatest amount oi lumber used' Nine people out of ten will say forhouses and buildings. It is doubtful if 95 per cent. of the lumber output goes into buildings. The rail, roads, farmers. and miscellaneous pur. poses take about 40 per cent, and the other 20 per cent. goes into boxes. The estimate is made, says the Southern Lumberman, ou the judgment of some of the best informed lumbermen in the country.
