FAMOUS BOY EDITOR.
Tello d'Apery Has just Returned from
Foreign Landslide Expects to
Write n Book.

NTltc n BOON.
The youngest ''globe-trotter" is back in
New York once mNre, says the New York
Recorder, Jr. This time he returns from his
most extended trip. for he has completely en-
circled the earth in his wanderings. Tello
d'Apery is his name, and he is known to
many children of this and other countries as
the editor OF a Juvenile monthly called the
Sunny Hour, and by his Barefoot mission.
The young man is not quite eighteen years
Of age, tall, with dark eyes and hair, which
bespeak his Italian ancestry. He has a yer y
charming manner, probably acquired in the
courts of Europe and the East, for he has
been very cordially received by royalty in
every country that he has visited. The trip
from which ne has just returned has occu-
pied about five months. He laughed when
speaking OF his journey and said: Il am
day in advance Of old Father Time now, be-
cause I travelled from east to west, you
know" He had many queer experiences
and adventures while abroad
While travelling through British India he
was taken very ill with the fever which
usually assails travellers through that strange,
far-away country. Then he felt very home
sick, too, for he journeyed entirely alone.
Kind friends took care of him at Singapore
and nursed him until he was himself once
more. At Constantinople Ghazi Osman Pasha
received him as If he were a son of the Mahdi,
and soldier-servant was placed under his
orders. The pasha also took him up the Bos-
phorus in his private boat, and later on pre-
sented him to the Sultan of Turkey. This
august monarch directed his physician to
show the young traveller the beauties and
wonders of Constantinople.
In Athens the fair city Of the Greeks, Tello
met Nine. Bakmetiefr, a god-daughter to the
of He Wis fai
and was presented to her majesty Queen
Olga who gave him splendid photograph of
herself with her autograph at the bottom.
He has many such souvenirs Of his stay in
foreign lands. His desk is covered with them,
while others hang upon the walls of the room.
Every one bears the autograph Of the giver
and original of the picture. They are all full
of royal blood or notable in the history Of the
world. Tello has now been home two weeks.
81 am very glad to get back to my work,
he said. ''Shall / write another book? Yes,
of course; but not just vet. My book, Europe
Seen Through Boys Eyes was very well
liked, and provided me with funds to keep up
my work among the shoeless boys and girls
of this large CITY," He led the way back to a
rear room, where hundreds of pairs OF old
shoes were waiting for barefooted children to
ask for them. ''You see." he explained, Its
summer now, and they like to go without
shoes, but when winter comes, then it's differ
ent." With all his travelling and hobnobbing
with kings and queens, Tello dApery Is still
a sturdy, thorough American boy, who be-
lieves his own country to be the best.

W. A. Bohart Is IN the city from North

Pendleton Tribune. She will be accompa-

Trial of Speed.

A foot race at 3 o'clock in the morning
is very early for such sport; but during
this season of the year strange things may
happen, and at the hour mentioned a trial
OF speed was had in front of the freight
depot in This city, The parties to the
contest were Harry Stevens and F.
Horwege, and the bets were $500 side
aud the distance 100 yards. stevens,
we are informed,is professional sprinter,
and beat the champion of Antelope last
summer He has been IN the city some
time, and last night Horwege was boast
ing of his speed, when the race was made
and the stakes put up. Knowing that the
city authorities would not permit the
race to be run, they made arrangements
and just before the passenger train ar
rived had the trial OF speed. Those who
were present say that Stevens won the
race easily. and, while running, amused
himself by looking back and watching
the vain efforts of his oppon cnt to over
take him. He pocketed the money and,
we are informed, left on the boat this
morning.
Since the above was in type we learn
that Stevens had companion named
Berthwalte who helped him "work" Hor-
wege, and that last night, before the race,
they managed to beat him out of consid--
cradle money. Mr.. Horwege Is an INDUS
trious, hard.working German, and had
intended to make visit to his old home
in Europe before he met these sharpers
and lost his hard-earned coin.

The Asylum Goes.

Ever since the Oregon asylum commits
sioners located the proposed Institution on
land in the vicinity of Union, there has
been general impression that the building
would never be constructed, says the East
Oregonian, and 1t has been intimated that
the commission never intended that 1t
should be built, Such an opinion has been
almost universally held throughout the
greater portion of Eastern Oregon and in
the Willamette valley. Il now appears
that this opinion was erroneous. The
building commission are at work on the
plans and estimates and will within rea.
sonable time submit them for bids by con-
tractors. The site is said to be very advan.
tageous and the land rich aud fertile. 1t is
couple of miles northwest of Union. The
Salem Post says the present asylum author
ities are in favor of the building of the new
YUM, on account of the crowded condi.
tion of the Que now in operation in Salem.
The $40 acres 10 the new asylum site cost
S25. 600.

To the Reform Sob ool.

Sheriff priyer left this morning for
Salem, having in custody Oscar Wolfard,
who was examined yesterday before
Judge Blakeley and considered proper
person to be an inmate of the refo rm
school. The boy is aged about 10 years,
and for some time past has been "run-
ming wild" on the streets. In his case
it is very evident there has not been
that parental restraint exercised that
should have been, although the mother
made the complaint before the county
judge. There are other children in the
family that should be sent to the home
or some charitable institution where they
would receive the necessary training for
the development of character. tits to be
hoped that Oscar will come out OF the
ref,rm school better boy and with hab-
its OF industry formed that will give him
a proper appreciation of the necessity Of
labor to earn living.

Common Sense About Money

Olympia Standard Oem)
The unwr,tten laws OF trade control the
value OF money the same as of commodities.
Increase the volume of silver abnormally
and it will fall in value when measured by
commodities possessing intrinsic value. Un.
limited coinage of silver would undoubtedly
send the prices of labor and supplies just as
much higher as the increase of volume was
beyond the demand tor it on gold basis. It
is impossible to substitute silver for gold as
the measure of valuo, while international
commerce recognizes only the better metal
in business transactions. The average
American voter does not always apply the
test of reason to his political acts, aud hence
demag cgues play upon his credulitY by ad-
vocating measures which seem, at first
glance. to be desirable, and he casts his
vste to find that it Is not productive of any
of the results promised.

A Thrilling Experiences.
Long Greek Eagle.

j. j. Hinton, of Hamilton, returned
from trip to Ukiah last Friday. To an
Eagle reporter he stated an experience h e
met with between the North Fork of the
John Day rive and Ukiah.
At the head of the Forth Fork grade
there resides rancher who for some time
has showed signs of insanity. Meeting
Mr. Hinton short distance this side of
Ukiah, he sprang upon the wagon seat
and informed Mr.. Hinton that he was a
prisoner, and compelled him TO turn his
team and start back for Uklah. MI Hin
ton being uDarmed and having q fiery
team, was compelled to comply with the
insane mans request. Before proceeding
very far, the )unatic told his story TO Mr..
Hinton, stating that he was United
States detective and that he was the man
he was after and that he would have TO be
taken back to Ukiah for trial. At this in
stance he drew dirk and taxing hold of
Mr.. Hinton's arm stated that lie had bet
ter go along quietly If he did not wish TO
be hurt. Before they had gone many
miles they met two hunters, who, on
learning the situation, prevailed on the
crazy man TO release Mr. Hinton This
he finally did, and Mr.. Hinton turned on
his road homeward, thankful that while
he was In the custody of lunatic, he
escaped without injury.
J. B, Despair, the uaiah merchant, was
notified of the affair, and at once pro-
ceeded to notify the proper authorities of
Umatilla county, and ne doubt ere this
the would-be detective, who reigned su-
preme On the North Fork grade, has been
committed to the asylum.

No Appointments Made.

A Salem exchange has the following,
which proves that some newspapers have
been premature in some of the statements
published;
Governor Lord was seen today at the
capitol by Post reporter and questioned as
to the truth or falsity of the report that had
gained currency to the effect that Willis
Dunniway, OF Portland. had been chosen to
act as his private secretary.
"The governor said that any paper which
had published that appointment or any
other had done so upon their own RESPONSE
bilIty as he had not made any appointments
public as yet and would not until Monday
or Tuesday next, and that as soon as he had
notified the several gentlemen who were to
be appointed he would make their names
public and not till then."

Their respective losses ranged from 81. so to
$1,000. No one claimed the loss of cent
piece. All those who have called spend
more or less money IN the store before leav-

control of his powers of eramhulation.
