OPEN LETTER FROM MIR. coRBETT

OPEN LETTER FROM MIR. CORBETT
To the Editor of the Astorian:-
Dear Sir-In reference to the state
ment published in last weeks Astorian
accusing me of expressing contempt
uous opinion concerning an Grafton de-
livered by Mr.. C. ]. Stupp on the 4th
of July, and which was published in
last Sundays Herald under the nom de
plume of Timothy Callowlable" have
this to say:
First-That 1 am not the author of
that or any other anonymous cores
pondence or had in no way any con-
nection whatever with it.
Second-In all my newspaper cor
respondence, have never said or done
aught to injure a PERSONS reputation,
or expressed contemptuous opinion
which might hurt the feelings of any
one sensitive of their good character
Third don't see Mr. Stupp's reason
for having the accusation against me
printed in last weeks Astorian, as 1
told him last Sunday, a week ago., when
he accused me to certain persons of
having been the author of anonymous
correspondence published in the Her
aid, "that upon my word of honor as a
gentleman, 1 had nothing whatever to
do with it,"
Mr.. Supp should bear in mind that
1t would be more creditable to his af-
fected dignity If he would refrain from
making any charges or insinuations
against person until he has positive
proof that his statements are substan-
TALLY correct
If the learned pedagogue deems this
refutation unsatisfactory and refuses to-
retract his untruthful statement, 1 will
endeavor in another communication to-
settle this little difficulty over a point
of honor by side issue. Yours truly,
JAS. CORBETT.

The business man who says that ad-
vertlsing does not pay does not adver-
tise. He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
I sits in the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only let's his
neighbor get that neighbor's share of
the business, but good part of his also.
He sees people whom he thought old
friends of his go into lis competitors
store and come out with bundles of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why is this so? 1t is because his COM
petitor lets the public know in an in
telllgent way through the local papers
what he has to sell and when he has It,
The successful advertiser looks after
his advertising space as he does his
clerks. He changes his ads. in such
way the people are attracted by them.
He feels that to make money he must
be willing to spend some; that there is
strong competition in all lines of busi-
ness, and to get his share of the trade
he must advertise. and to do 1t in the
most skillful and intelligent way. II he
cannot write advertising matter himself,
he seeks the aid Of some one who has

is to take off the shoulders Of busy
man all the worry of making up an ad.
No business man attempts to cure his
own sickness, pull his own teeth, make
his own clothes or attend to his own
law cases. He employs specialists for

China is this year to have an exhibit
tion Of her art and industry equal to
the great displays in London, Paris and
Chicago, and one which might be called
a worlds fair If it were not that 1t is
entirely of domestic institution and con-
fined to her own productions and peo-
pie. But, as the empire possesses a pop
ulation of some four hundred millions,
1t is equal to a magnificent display with
out any foreign help, and the intention
is to make it of unrivaled splendor. 1t
is held in honor of the queen dowager,
who attains this year her sixty-first
birthday, and it will exceed in cost
and splendor any display of like kind
ever known in the Middle Kingdom,
or perhaps any where in the world.
1t is computed that it will involve an
expenditure of $2OO,OOO,OO making the
outlay attending our own Worlds Fair
last year seem trivial in the compari-
son. Apart from the central display
in Pekin, celebrations will be held in all
the towns and cities of the empire, and
the renown of the imperial lady who has
really directed Chinese affairs for a
score of years will be signalized in
every form which the ingenuity and
loyal people can devise.
The plan of the celebration was de-
vised by the imperial cabinet, and cop
les of it forwarded to all the officials
of the country, who have since been
active in the requisite preparations.
so that on the appointed date the land
will break simultaneously into a glow
ing radiance of celebration which ought
to astonish the old bronze dragons still
preserved in some of her temples and
associated in some obscure way with
her history and development The en-
press dowager is not of royal birth, but
is evidently woman of talent and per-
perhaps not at SO costly rate. She
was the daughter of an obscure Manchu
official and as the youthful female is
a merchantable commodity in China,
Sne was sou 10 IL SdlllOil Hiaiuehih,
and by good luck and management be-
came a member of the imperial house
hold and ultimately the wife of the
emperor and mother of the heir ap
parent, who did not live to mount the
throne, but she placed her nephew on
it and he is there yet and she is be-
hing him with the reins in her hand,
that yet at sixty-one shows no sign of
relaging vigor.
Perhaps no woman of any period has
been the inspiring figure of such a.
magnificent pageant as the contemplate
ed one promises fair to be- it will array
all the treasures of the empire, the
products of it's art and industry, and
its historic trophies, going back as her
sallow seers and antiquarians think
thousands of years before our era, and
it will set in motion all the spectacular
resources for which the land has been
famous from the earliest times. The
outside nations can only stand aloofl
and look on and wonder, hoping, per-
haps, that the country will not bank
rupt itself in so ambitious an exploit
of celebration. So far as we are con-
cerned, we may congratulate ourselves
that there is no North America female
requiring such expensive celebration,
and no visible prospect Of one.

An Accommodating Earthquake,

From the San Francisco Call.
Earthquakes play queer pranks
sometime S, and few on record are
queerer than an incident of the
trembler of 1868. The story Is told
by Col. George w. Grannis, who
vOuches for its authenticity, as he
witnessed the extraordinary incl
dent with his own eyes and knows
there was no deception. Col.
Grannis was agent of the Mont
gOmery block at that time--an en-
viable position in more ways than
one because the building was the
legal and business center of San
Francisco. Here are the veteran
ColOnels own words:
81 was in my office" said he.
"when the first shock came in the
evening. That was the earthquake
of 1868, the only tough shake-up
VIC ever had in California. Well,
could hear the shouts of people
outside and the noise Of fall
ing signs and chimneys, but,
knowing that Gen. Halleck
had constructed the building as
he would a fortress, according to
his ideas Of civil engineering, | did
not feel the least uneasy. The

engineers and architects. They
said it was impossible to pry that
thick wall back into place. There
was no purchase to get a move on
it. Well, | just began that even
ing to make arrangements to have
the wall torn down at considerable
expense. That night another
shock came from east to west, and

Invalid Crazed by a Snake.

Philadelphia Times.
An aged lady named Mrs. Sum-
merfield has been craZed by the
awful experience through which
she went a few nights ago. Mrs.
Summerfield is the mother OF a
wheat farmer living in Vernon,
Texas, and has been i'll some time
with a throat trouble, which has
nearly destroyed her voice. She
was attended to bed on the occa-
sion mentioned by one of her
granddaughter, who, at the old
lady's request, left the lamp be-
side the bed, burning brilliantly.
The house was newly built and
is not quite completed, with the
rafters of the roof still uncovered
by any ceiling. During the night
the old lady's eyes were attracted
by some object moving along one
Of these rafters, and presently a
large bull snake thrust it's ugly
head over and hung there, looking
down at her.
She, in all probability, tried to
summon some one, but, owing to
her affection, was unable to make
herself heard. So, perhaps, for
hours she lay with her terrified
eyes fixed on the hideous shape
overhead until, overcome with
nervous fear, her mind began to
wander. When found in the morn
ing she was unconscious, and it
was with difficulty that she was re.
Vived. Her first motion was to the
rafter just over her head, but this
was thought only part Of her de-
lirium, until all at once the snake
ran down along the rafter, and then
dropped down on the bed. The old
lady screamed loudly and again
tainted, and when she finally re-
gained consciousness it was seen
that her terror had completely I'M
hinged her intellect.
During the day she seemed quiet
enough, but at the approach OF
night, became so frantic thatit was
necessary to restrain her. The bull
snake is not venOmOus, but is for
midable and hideOus enough to in
spire repugnanco in the strongest
mind. On searching the rafters
and roof of his house Mr.. Summer
field, after his mothers fright,
found and dislodged not less than
eighteen snakes Of several varieties.
This is their season Of Information,
and they seek the warmest spot at
hand in which to lie until spring.
Unless mOlested they are usually
harmless at this time, being too
sluggish to move, and can easily be
killed; but near fire they thaw
out and become aggressive if shut
in,

Electric Heating of Street Cars.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
The electric heaters on the Gin
cinnati street cars have proved
quite success. The total cost of
operating the heaters is in the
neighborhood of &c an hour. The
cost of a coal stove would amount
in coal alone to &c an hour, exclud-
ing the cost of man to keep the
fires in good order. The electric
stoves on the cars without doubt
reduce the cost Of heating, and as
the current is taken out Of the
power house of the company the
plan is a good one indeed.
The average life of a street car
coal stove is but three years. They
have to be removed at the end Of
the season and placed in position
again in the winter. The electric
heaters are so small and compact
that they are barely noticeable
and Will last for five or six years if
properly handled. All of the Main
street electric cars are equipped
with the electric heaters. There
are generally from three to four
in the car, which makes them fairly
comfortable in the coolest weather.
The Clifton cars also have the cleo
trio heater, as have some OF the
Covington and Newport new cars.
In all instances they are proving a
great success.
