STOCK SOLD.
It Brings Only n small Portion of Its
Original Cost

The Bennett Il Hull furniture stock,
which occupies the fourth floor in the
MacDougall & Southwick Companv's store,
was sold TO satisfy creditors last week.
The stock brought only small part of its
original cost The MacDougall d South
wick Company have decided to close out
the entire stock as speedily as possible and
the prices placed upon this furniture are
without doubt the lowest ever known on
the Coast. 1t is safe to assume that at the
present figures this furniture is marked at
half its original cost TO manufacture.

DIR. VAN MAKrkR's PICTURES.
He Says They Are Household Goods,
but Customs Officers Demand Duty.

TACOMA, June 1Z.-ESpeeial. l-Dr. J. G.
Van Msrter, who returned few days ago
from Rome. Italy, is about 10 write to the
government officials at Washington City
TO ascertain what can be done about a
quantity of household goods which he
shipped 20 this country from his former
home in Zone, and which are
reported flooded with water at Port
land Among the goods are sew
eral valuable paintings. one a madonna
which he valued at $4,000 Another bit
of painting was executed in the thirteenth
century and is considered of great value,
as it was in an excellent state of preserva-
ton when it left Rome. Dr. Van Mar
ter's paintings, he SAYS, are worth over
$4,000 alone, and included among his
house furnishing articles are tapestries
that cannot now be procured at any price.
All of his goods were certified to
as being part of his household prop
erty by the United States consul gen.
eral, and here is where the hitch comes.
Under the approval of the consul general,
DR.. Van Marter claims the goods should
be entered. but the customs officials at
Portland have refused to allow it. The
goods were shipped by q sailing vessel.
the local customs authorities that he must
pay duty on the goods, inasmuch as he
did not accompany them. The goods ar
rived IN February. and DR.. Van Ma,ter
did not arrive in New York until late in
May.
The impression seems to prevail among
some customs officers that it is an easy
matter TO buy off, consuls and secure a
certificate that goods such as DIR. Van
Marter desires entered are a part of ones
household furniture and fixtures. There
are number of valuable books among
the goods held at Portland, and it is i'm
possible TO ascertain the extent of the
damage until the water recedes. A heavy
suit for damages may result.
DR.. Van Marter's personal wardrobe has
been detained by the floods and conse-
quently. while he is here in town person
ally, he has not yet arrived in a strictly
society sense He had to outfit with new
clothes pending the arrival of his trunks
from the East.

Senators Jumped on Taylor at the Start
and Held Their Lead.
It is Umpire Hoagland's fault, says Mana
ger Irwin, that his pet Quakers lost yester-
days game to the Senators, but glance at
the score shows that the home team played
the best ball by a large majority.
Young Mr.. Taylor was in the box for the
visitors. and he was hit safely six times in the
first inning. After that he was invincible,
but the game had been won by the five runs
scored by the locals.
Ward hit the first ball pitched and II fell
safely in right field. Notwithstanding the fact
that Thompson, Boyle, and Hallman went
after it. Joyce followed with a single in
Thompson's territory. Ward was making for
third with great speed. He failed TO reach
the bag. however. as the big right-fielder
threw accurately to Cross. but Joyce reached
second. Sullivans error let Hassamer on
first. Then singles by Abbey, Cartwright,
Shjebeck n double by Selbach, and Taylors
error resulted in five mems crossing the
plate They were all made by the home team,
but just sufficient to win.
The Philies scored one run in the first on
singles by Hamilton and Thompson, base
on balls, and n put out. Another one was
added in the second on Taylor's double and
singles by Grady and Hamilton.
Gradys single hit in the seventh Hamil-
tons base on balls. Cartwrights error, and a
single by Cross resulted in two runs. That
was all. although they made great effort in
the ninth. when Hamilton went to first on
balls. but the heavy hitters failed to get on to
Maul's tantilizing slow and occasional shoots.
The game was full of sharp plays. Shiebeck
doing good work at short and the outfelders
of 10th teams made many brilliant catches.

WALKER LUNACY CASE.
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Walters Agreement
a Satisfactory Ono.

Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Walters Agreement
a Satisfactory One.
The lunacv case of Barlow L. Walker was
disposed of yesterday in Equity Court No.
by Judge HaSner.
At the suggestion of the court the attorneys
for Mrs. Genevieve Walker, the wife, and
Mrs. Irene B. Walter, sister of the iunatic,
consulted together as to what should be done
for Walkers benefit. Later the attorneys ap-
peared in court and filed the results Of their
conference, which proved to be an agreement
on the appointment of B. F. Leighton as a
committee and trustee for Walker
Mrs. Walter withdrew her motion to quash
the writ Of lunacy. 1t was also admitted that
Walkers upsoundness OF mind began as far
back as May I. 1894, and Justice Hagner ad-
judged him insane from that date.
Mrs. Walker and Mrs. Walter as senting, the
court appointed B. F. Leighton as a commits
tee and trustee. Leighton's bond was placed
at $4,000. None of the attorneys were in
any way communicative about the disposition
Of Walker. The selection OF an institution
for Walkers safe keeping rests with B. F.
Leighton. Walker is still under treatment at
Providence Hospital.
