The Boat Line Declares Dlvidend

Last night the directors of the D. P. &
A. N. Co. held meeting at the Regu-
lator Office, which can be said to have
been the pleasantest one they ever had
held. There were present Directors
Hugh Glenn, sam'l L. Brooks, Ed. NJ.
Williams, Orion Kinersly and M. T.
Nolan. Joseph T. Peters was unavoid-
edly detained in Portland by business
and Hon. Robt. Mays was unable to
come in from the country. After some
routine business Mr.. Nolan moved that
dividend of 10 per cent. be declared
upon all capital stock. Mr.. Glenn Sec
onded the motion and it passed unan-
imously.
The capital stock is $39, 900 and 10
per cent. dividend will divide s., 1900
among the stockholders. We doubt if
there is another transportation company
west of the Rocky mountains that will
declare q. dividend this year and We do
not think there is one in the United
States that will declares 10 per cent. one.

In Honor OF FRANK ]. s.nnsst.

The large residence of Mr.. N. B. Sin
mott, on Fourth street, was the scene of
much youthful gaiety last evening.
Mrs. Sinnott had invited large number
of young people to meet her nephew,
Mr.. Frank J. Sinnott of Portland, who
is visiting in The DaIles. The house is
an excellent one for entertaining, and
the efforts of the hostess and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Fish, to make their guests feel
at ease were happily successful, and
the hours sped away SO quickly that
midnight came and went before any one
realized that it was getting late.
u The early part of the evening was
spent in conversation and social games,
after which the prizes were awarded to
the successful and unsuccessful contest
ants. Mr.. 6. w. Phelps was the fortu-
| hate winner of the first prize, while Miss
| Eredden and Mr.. Fritz w. Wilson, after
d desperate struggle, captured the BOBBY
trophies.
This was the first of the summer par
ties, and if the social season is to be
judged by the event of last night, the
summer will be very pleasant one to
the young people of The Dalles. The
young ladies, all dressed in light colors,
looked especially bewitching.
After some dainty refreshments,
served at small tables, the guests were
treated to musical selections, all oi
which were very well rendered. sMr,
@. w. Crossen sang solo, Answered. y

Upward Lightning strokcs.
jan 6 i'd

It is hard for tho mind to conceive of Q lightning flash taking other than a down. ward course when it strikes objects on the earth's surface but there are many well authenticated cases of the bolt taking the opposite direction. A case in mind hap pened at Manchester in August, 1888, where tho bolt was distinctly seen to strike the base of a large cast iron chimney and then to take an upward slant, burning crooked river in the metal from the point Of contact to the top, where it escaped into the atmosphere and exploded in the man. ner of an immense fire ball.
 At Monticello, la, on June 21, 1893, a tree near the residence of c. H. George was struck by a lightning flash and torn in manner which clearly indicated that the current had passed upward from the earth.
 The director of the Iowa weather service corps tells me that, while upward light ming strokes are reckoned as freaks and phenomena by the layman, they are not of infrequent occurrence and have often been reported by meteorological observers.
 In one or two of the Solomon islands and at several places on the Indian ocean coast of Africa the upward stroke is said to be the rule and the downward the ex- ception.-St. Louis Republic.

Catching the Dragon Fly.

"One of the greatest amusemcnts for tho children of Japan is catching the dragon fly,' said Dr. w. F. Taylor of Boston, who has spent several years in Japan. Japan is Q land of children, and thousands of them literally put in several weeks every autumn in capturing dragon flies and tying kites to them for the fun of seeing them fly. Soon after the turn of the sun in tho afternoon hundreds and thousands of huge dragon flies busy them selves flying over tho ricefields and gar dens, catching insects and gnats.
 "Tbe Japanese boys carefully saturate the end of bamboo with tar and start out for tho fun. They first hold the bam- boo up to attract the unsuspecting drag ons to take rest. In moment the boy gives tho bamboo twist and puts the tar end into so many motions that it is almost impossible for the creature to avoid it. Tho boys arc so expert at the business that have seen them chase fly that had got much ahead of them and succeed in stick ing tho dragon fly to tho reed. When once on the tar end of the pole, there is a mis- erablo future for the captives. They are tied together and carried around in the chase. Then string is tied to each one, and a small piece of paper, serving as kite, which the poor flies are required to sail. They fly away, but of course soon get caught into 0 tree or brush and die of starvation. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

 Although somo cities in Italy present more vivid and fascinating periods of ex- nInples there is perhaps no other city in Europe where the continuity of modern civilization for nt least seven centuries can be traced so fully in it's visible record. From the tmc of Louis the Stout A. D.

Whistler and the Amateur.

When James McNeill Whistler went to Venice to make those IA famous etchings of his he became so intoxicated with it's beauty that be made 70 pastels first, leav ing his etchings till the last few days. These pastels made tremendous sensa- tion. All the art world of Venice was car ried away with enthusiasm, excepting a Russian painter, who declared them tricks, betting basket of champagne he could paint six not to be distinguished from them. MT. Whistler amiably gave some of his paper and six pastels, which were finally mixed up with those by the Rus sian and submitted to jury who had seen none of them. MT. Wbistler's pastels were unmistakable, and the Russian lost the wine. A few days later the two met on the Rialto and MT. Whistler laughed Q little about the wine and the bet. The Russian was furious You forget, sir" be said, "that I'm a Russian, and if you scratch one you find a Tartar underneath. "Oh, no, you havo it wrong," said MT. Whistler, "you have it wrong.
