Higgins and Addicl<s Confer.
The two men who are responsible for the
four months deadlock, ex-senator Higgins
and ]. Edward Addicks. surprised every
body by holding an earnest conference at
the Hotel Richardson this morning. They
have been enemies for months. but it is
believed they arrived at a partial under
standing during their conversation. The
Higgins men admitted that it would be
futile at this late day for the Higgins and
Addicks people to combine on the eX-
Senator, as the Massey followers would OBJ
ject and the combination would not be
strong enough to elect without Massey's
support Speaker of the Senate Records,
who is democrat, declared that should a
joint session last until o'clock this after
noon he would declare the general assembly
adjourned sine die. He consented, however, to
turn the clock back for the purpose of pass
ing legislation, but not to continue ballot
ing for Senator. Both branches were
busy up to noon rushing legislation. Demo-
cratic lawyers from all over the state were
here coaching the representatives of their
party in the legislature in obstructing the
progress of the balloting and dilatory mo-
tions generally

these organizations, who may not be them

ton.
1t is the semi-centennial meeting of the
convention, and this fact alone would make
1t one of the most interesting in the life
of the organization since 1t separated from
the northern branch of the church, in 1S45.

The Opening Meetings.
The series of meetings was inaugurated
last evening with the annual session of
the Baptist Educational Society, which
was held at the First Baptist Church, on
18th street. This morning the big edifce was
filled again when the meeting of the Young
Peoples Societies was held and deal Of

but 1t is believed that 1900 would be
conservative estimate. DR.. Stakely said
day or two ago that from the way ap-
plications for accommodations were pour
ing in he thought there would be in the
neighborhood of a thousand delegates
present when the convention is called to
order tomorrow. Many of these will doubt
less have other members of their families
with them and these will go to swell the
size of the gathering. The very best of
arrangements have been made by the local
committee for the comfort and welfare
of the visiting host. Post office facilities
have been prepared and everything has
been done to assure the delegates that
nowhere can they feel much at home
as in the beautiful capital city.

And Contractors VIII Commence at Once.
Engineers Curtis and Jameson, of the
Astoria and Columbia river railroad, arr

of the contractors,
The large body of engineers are some
twelve miles out on the line from Tongue
Point, and a smaller corps at or near
Tongue Point are engaged in locating
the line and grade stakes. Another small
corps of engine ers are at work on the
west side of lthe bay. A small gang of
graders win be put TO work at once on
the Cine from the city east. This means
that work will commence as soon as the
men can be got here. Asborans will be
glad to see the dirt fly ard will have the
assurance THAT the road is to be thor
oughly built in every particular and that
Il will be capable of handling all the
traffic THAT may be offered to it. The
terminus of several trunk lines, u is
necessary that the road bed should be
solid, the grades light ard the curves
easy. These are features about which
TOO much care cannot be taken ami con-
cerring which Mr. Hammond Is deter
mined that no mistakes shall be made.
Work will progress fast enough wh n
the foundations are wet laid.
The question of THE location of the
depot has not yet been decided, as other
matters have entered into dts consid-
erAtion which have delayed the decision.

TO CULTIVATE THE MEMORY.

A habit of forgetfulness is one of The
greatest hindrdnces in all business and
social relations, but our modern style OF
. life and education is certainly injurious
to the memory. The old method of learn
ing by rote has fallen into disfavor, and
Theirs was much to say against it as a
hindrance to originality; but there is a
time in every child's life when learning
by rote is a useful thing, and 1t is at
a very early age, for the minds of young
children not being occupied with so many
things as those of their elders they are
in a receptive condition and their MEM
ory is more retentive than later on.
Every mother has been struck by her
child of two or three years remembering
perhaps for some months where a certain
thing was placed, or some little event.
and ii is a matter of common experience
that we remember the events of our carly
youth more forclbly than those of even
a few months back.
1t is possible to begin to cultivate the
memory as soon as the child can talk,
when it should be made 10 describe
everything it has seen during its morning
walk or to repeat some little story that
has been told to it, or a short lesson
which has been learned. Every teacher
d
that th- lesson of the day before mas
been retained and understood, for the
more we overcrowd the little brain in
the attempt to force knowledge upon it
the less we impress upon it for future
use. 1t is the experience of all thos5
who have crammed for examinations
that as soon as the examination is over
the undigested knowledge passes away,
similarly through life. Unless an item OF
knowledge is assimilated 1t becomes as
useless to the mental system as an un-
digested article of food to the bodily
system and in both cases they act as an
irritant, interfering with the proper di-
gestion of other matters.
In q well ordered mind facts remail,
ard points are, as It were pigeon holed
In such a way that they can be brought
out Immediately when required. They are
unidy brains in which the objects OF
knIowledsS are confused and not ready to
hand, so that they may turn up at un-
expected moments, but not just when
wanted, in ths same manner as there
are untidy drawers, wlrdrooas, and
rooms, and to cultivate a habit OF mental
order as well as one Of physical order
should be the earnest desire of every
mother and teacher-Home Notes.

REGATTA BALL.
An Immense Crowd Gathers in Gymna-
SUM Hall.


No better indication of ;he popularity
OF the regatta could have been asked
for than the brilliant throng which as.
tembled last night at Gymnasium Hal

Regatta Bail. The costumes of the la.
dies were rich and beautiful, while most
of the gentlemen in full dress added to
the pidturesquenes of the scene. The
rooms were handsomely decorated with
dark green ivy, and handsome flowers
which made foil for the delicate
dresses of the ladies and altogether the
affair was one to be remembered
Al an early hour the crush began until
1t soon became apparent that the rooms
would be uncomfor;ably crowded Not
withs;andilg this fact every one was in
the best of humor and having most en-
joyable time. The program contained
Is dances. of every variety, and was
carried Through 70 the finish, and then
they wanted more.
The 14th Infantry Band furnished the
most delightful music, which made one
dance whether or no and all voted the
affair a grand success and well worthy

tees.

A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
Was That Given at Fishers Hall Last
Evening.


Within that commodious and well-built
pavilion familiarly known as Fisher S
HaN" have been given many pleasant af-
fairs and happy social events, but prob
ably none have been more successful and
enjoyable than the one given by Court
Astoria, A. o. F. last evening. Every
detail lbhat would tend to make the af-
fair the most satisfactory ever given in
Astoria had been intelligently considered
by the management, with the result that
their efforts were most completely sue
cessful in every particular. The hall
was very tastefully decorated with bunt-
ing, flags, Japanese lanterns and flowers,
all arranged with striking and pleasing
effect. One of the features that added
much TO the success of the affair was the
instrumental concert given by that pop
ular body of musicians known as Par
sons orchestra. The concert preceded
the dancing and was warmly applauded.
An exceptionally well arranged Dancing
program was then carried out and con-
tinued until the ''wee sna' hours" Con-
sldering the many counter attractions
going on last evening, the success that
attended this affair speaks mos. highly
for the ability and intelligence displayed
by those who had the entertainment in
charge.
