ASTORIA. OR.--The railroad question,
which has been quiescent for some weeks
past, is again to be brought into promi-
hence, and viii occupy public attention
for time. When Judge Brown left here
for the East month or so ago, it was
understood that he had verbal under
standing with majority Of the subsidy
committee that no contract should be let
until such time as he could confer with
the New Workers represented and learn
what arrangements could be made with
them to enter into contract for the
completion OF the railroad by way Of the
Nehalem route. Before his departure
and after the refusal of the committee to
give him a mortgage on the subsidy in
consideration OF deposit OF $500, 900
Mr.. Brown stated that he believed he
could make such arrangements as would
be in all respects satisfactory to the As
toria people, but could make no definite
statement until he had an interview
with bis principals. A week ago Mr..
Brown telegraphed the subsidy commit
tee that he had completed his arrange
ments in satisfactory manner and
would be in Astoria in a few days.
Later dispatch was received from Mr..
Browns son, saying his father was i'll in
Denver and would not be in condition
to travel for some days. This latter
communication Is interpreted by some
parties as an indication that Mr..
Browns plans had possibly miscarried.

WHITEwASH.

and the result will be very satisfactory.
The lime in the whitewash is purifying
and disinfecting agent, and if the pig
sites, poultry-houses and stables are
thoroughly whitewashed, they will be
much more fit for the animals and much
less offensive to the eyes and nose. We
append directions for making brilliant
whitewash that will wear well and can
be made and applied by any one, SAYS
the American Farmer. We know OF
buildings that have been whitewashed
with this mixture for several years and
are still in very fair condition: TAKE
one half bushel of nice unslaked lime,
slake it with boiling water, cover it dur
ing the process to keep in the steam;
strain the liquid through fine sieve or
strainer, and add to It peck OF salt

tnree pounds of ground rice boiled 10
thin paste, one-half pound of powdered
spanish whiting and one pound of clean
glue which has been previously dissolved
by soaking it well, and then hang it over
slow fire in a small kettle within
larger one filled with water; add five
gallons OF hot water to the mixture, stir
1t well and let it stand for a few DAYS
covered from the dust. 1t should be put
on hot, and for this purpose it can be
Kept on portable furnace. 1t is said that
about pint of this mixture will covers

brushes may be used according to the

as well as oil paint for wood, brick or
stone, and is cheaper. 1t retains its
brllllancy for many years. There is
nothing of the kind that will compare
with 1t either for inside or outside walls.
Buildings or fences covered with it will
take much longer time to burn than il
tney were painted with oil paint. Col.

make reddish pink when stirred In,

tlty. A delicate tinge of this is very
pretty for inside walls. Finely pulverized
common clay, we'll mixed with Spanish
Drown, makes a reddish stone color;

Wnrk nn the Tariff BILL

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-The members of the senate financ>. subcommittee on the tariff devoted almost the entire day to work on the Wilson bill and made substan- tial progress i'll the consideration of minor items. They gave, however, comparative ly little attention to the more important questions which have from the first been a stumbling block.
 There has been quite a radical change in the sentiment about the sugar duty since last week, when it looked as if it were al most certain that the subcommittee would recommend a duty of at least a cent a pound upon that article.
 The committee has not as yet definitely decided upon the subject, but it looks new very much as if sugar would be allowed to remain where it is-on the free list. The decision upon the income tax will have an important bearing upon the sugar ques- tion, as it is not believed that bot the in come tax and the sugar duty will be nee essary 10 supply the requisite revenue in view of other changes contemplated. It is now even more certain that the income tax will be retained than that sugar will not be interfered with, and if it should not be stricken out the recommendation of the subcommittee will be favorable to free sugar, dependent upon one other contin- gency. This contingency Is the possibility of not being able to pass the bill unless something is done for sugar. This ques, tion is giving tine committee more concern than any other in connection with the sug- ar schedule but they appear now to be in- clined to take the chances on the loss of some Democratic votes with the hope of getting Repu blican votes if they should be necessary to pass the bill without a sugar

CREW IN THE RIGGING.
After Many Attempts at Rescue the Men
 Were Left to Their Fats.


 SCITUATE, Mass, Feb 14-For many hours the crews of the Massachusetts II IL mane sOciety's lifeboats and the United States lifeboat at the fourth cliff tried to rescue the crew of the wrecked schooner Minnie Rowan of Bridgeport, Conn. The vessel had anchored during the night to prevent going ashore, but the heavy north. east gale caused her to drag her anchor, and she was swept in upon the second cliff.
 The crews of both the life saving stations were summoned, but it was not for some time that the first line was fired across the bow of the schooner. The line fell far short, and the next half dozen lines also fell short or were hopelesSly snarled. Then one from the mortar of the government station went across the vessel between the fore and mainmaSts.
 The crew seized it and made it fast to the foremast, but it got fouled and was render ed useless. The seas were constantly washing across the vessel at this time. Half a dozen of the crew were in the rig ging, and the captain himself, tied up in blankets, was securely dashed in the main shrouds. He had been injured. Captain Stanley of the government lifebOat put off with a crew of 10, but was unable to get within 100 yards of the vessel. The heavy wind and current, combined with the aw- ful sea- drove the boat off, and it was fore ed to return. Another attempt to rescue the men was made with the lifeboat, but it was unsuccessful, and the men were left in the rigging

How fO Rest.

To begin with, women sit too much, and women stand quito too much. Stand ing about and sitting are not resting, however cleverly women may delude themselves on this point. Absolute re- pose comes to the tired muscles only when the body is iD reclining posi- tion, and absolute repose comes to the overstrung nerves only when the mus cular system is perfectly at rest-relax- ed. The middle aged woman should learn how to rest. Five minutes of rest flat on ones back on the floor or on a hard, smooth couch are worth half an hour of so styled rest in an armchair or in that unreposeful tempter, the rock ing chair. Some one has said to the women of today, "Never stand when you can sit; never sit when you can lie down." This exhortation, applied with some elasticity, is the best recipe for beauty know of. I recommend ire quent daily lapses into complete fallow- ness.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY SCARED.
He Thought the Rioters Had Sent Him
 Package of Dynamite.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 1+-During the trial of the 5S Mansfield coal valley rioters con sternarion was caused by boy handing to District Attorney Burleigh d square ob- ject wrapped in brown paper and tied tightly with a string. Mr Burleigh took it in his hand for moment, and then jumping to his feet he threw the package on the table. He was as a hite as a ghost, and all at the counsel table were scared.
 Mir. Burleigh demanded to know where the package came from. There were an archists among the prisoners, and it was known that there were many sympathizers in the corridor outside of the courtroom.
 The lawyers quickly recovered them selves, and the examination proceeded while Detective Goehring carefully cut the strings and removed the paper. The pack age contained half dozen old paper books A smile passed around, and Mir. Burleigh admitted that he had bit on a joke.
 The entire day was taken up by the de fense ill trying to prove alibis, and some decidedly contradictory evidence was pro- duced. One of the prisoners, Harry Fee gan, afterward positively identified as be- ing among the rioters, swore that he was home with his family at the time, did not know there was a riot and saw no coal tipples burned.
