The Spiral SoOthpr.

"Give me a spiral soother," says the critic to tho professor. The amiable dis penser of liquid comfort picks up lemon tenderly and carefully proceeds to remove its peel. The knife is handled so deftly and carefully that when the white inner skin of the fruit is exposed the yellow rind hangs in one piece, curving around and around, like bed spring, for instance. A goblet is produced and the peel is carefully wound around on its inside until it reaches from the bottom to the top. Cracked ice is heaped in to hold the peel in place, and 0 bottle of ginger ale is trickled slowly into 1t. The liquid sparkles like champagne, and you feel cooler with each tiny bubble that rushes to break upon the surface You spend two or three minutes in rapture at the vision, and then you raise it to your lips and sip it. The man in the stiff collar and white shirt becomes your best friend, the exasperatingly cool looking girl you are willing to lead to the altar, your enemies are forgiven, and you make up your mind to pay all your debts as the concoction trickles down your throat, cooling your frame, but warming the cookies of your heart.

A Soldiers Gold Medal Found,

A gold medal has been found on the farm of Dr. Gustavus Brown, Dicker- son Station, Md, which would seem to have been lost while McClellan's s army was encamped at that place in 1862. Some laborers engaged in digging post holes unearthed it about IS inches be- low the surface. It is about the size of $10 goldpiece. On one side is wig nette of General Mcclellan, encircled by the letters of his name. On the re- verse side, standing out plainly and dis tinctly, appears the name of Franklin G. Pulisipher, Company I, Twelfth Yer mont Volunteers. The medal is in the possession of MT. Jamison, the superin- tendent of the farm. Dickerson Station is on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, 30 miles from Washington. Washington Post.

Honesty Rewarded In This Life.

"The case presented in last nights pa- per of a reward of s10 being paid for the return of $50 reminds me of similar an- ecdote-only different," said the ancient New England member of tho club this morning. "It happened in Providence, R. l., 40 years ago, when the city contained but one millionaire, who was an old Scotchman named Alexander Duncan One day Mr. Duncan, in leaving his office, dropped large roll of bank notes in the street. They escaped his eye, but not that of the small boy who is around every where, and who bounced upon the bills immediately. The roll contained $500. When MT. Duncan received it he eagerly counted the money, and finding it correct, he turned to the boy and said ;s T thank, ye, my little man. Then noticing the look of dismay in the poor lads counte- nance, he felt in his trousers pocket and fshed out a coin, which he handed to the finder of his wealth. And the coin repre- sesnted-what do you thinkf''
 Five dollars.'
 "A dollar.''
 A half dollar"
 "A quarter of dollar"
 Just half of that It was an old Span- ish coin that we used to call ninepence in New England and that you called a shilling in New York. In other words, it was 12k cents which Alexander Duncan, the millionaire of Providence, paid to the honest boy who found and returned to him $500. .'-Utioa Observer.

ASSAULTED A BOY.
a Portland Educator Used a RaWhide and
the Grand Jury Indicted
Him

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 17.-Professor
Gilbert A. Adams, principal of the Stephens
School, has been indicted for assault and
battery, committed on the nine-year-old
son of J. E. Wolf Adams is one of the
most prominent educators here, but has an
uncomfortable temper. He has created a
sensation in educational circles. This is
not the first time Professor Adams has
been in trouble, owing to the severe meth
DDS of castigation adopted by him in the
correction of pupils.
In the present case it appears that the
Wolf boy contradicted his teacher as to
the spelling of word, and was reported to
Professor Adams. The principal sent for
the boy and proceeded to punish him in
the usual manner by striking the lads
open palms with a ruler. 1t is customary
to cease Furnishing when the victim begins
to cry, but young Wolf was stubborn and
would not weep. Finding he could not
break the boys spirit by the ruler process
Professor Adams then secured a rawhioe
whip, and with this instrument belabored
the boy until the little fellows legs and
back showed a mass of black and blue
welts and bruises, the thrashing being
kept up until the pain proved more than
the boys pluck could stand, and he gave in.

Instructive DREAD.-Professor Lom-
broso maintains that the knowledge of a
criminal physiognomic type is often in
stinctive among the common people.
There are persons, especially women, who
are far from suspecting even the existence
of criminal anthropology, and who yet,
at the sight of those who bear criminal
characteristics, instantly experience a
lively repulsion and know they are in the
presence of a malefactor. He was ac-
quainted with lady whose life was quite
Withdrawn from society, who on two oc-
caslons discovered the criminal character
of certain young people, not before sus-
pected. but afterward detected by the po-
lice. At his request schoolmasters have
shown to forty young girls twenty por-
traits of thieves and twenty of great men.
Four-ffths of these children recog-
nized the first as wretched creatures
or as scoundrels and the Sec
ond as honest men. The universal
though involuntary consciousness of the
existence of a physiognomy peculiar to
criminals has given birth to the express
sions, "a thief's face" ''the look of an
assassin" etc. How is this universal con-
scIousness to be explained2 In young
girls there is certainly no knowledge ac-
quired by experience. The vulgar explain
alton is that there is an intuitive sense.
Lombroso holds that the phenomenon is
hereditary. The impression left US by our
fathers and transmitted to our children
has become unconscious knowledge, like
that of the little birds born and reared in
our houses, which strike their wings and
beaks in fright against their cages when
they see passing over them birds of prey
known only to their ancestors.

D|SBARRED At PORTLAND.
The BAR ASSOCIATION BROUGHT
CHARGES AGAINST SEVERAL
ATTORNEYS.
THE GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE DE-
PLORED THE DIsREPUTABLE
CONDITION OF THINGS.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 17.-When the
State Bar Association met this morning in
the United States courtroom a sensation
was caused by the report of the grievance
committee, composed of five old and
widely known attorneys. They have con-
sdered three cases of disbarment left over
from last year and instituted proceedings
against five more attorneys during the
past year. The committee is much con-
cerned with this condition ana says in its
report:
The time has come when the bar of Oregon,
and particularly in Multnomah County must
arouse itself and put out of its ranks disrep-
utable members, or its reputation will be so
tarnished that ii will take many years for it to
regain its former reputation. Within the past
wear there have been nine members of the
Multnomah County bar arrested for crimes.
The report scores several attorneys by
name. OF nine members arrested, two are
in the penitentiary, two sentenced to long
terms and another being investigated by
the Grand Jury. Charges against the
others are pending in the State courts.
The members of the association knew of
these cases of dishonesty, all OF which

ROEHER MURDER TRIAL.
A Fitness for the Prosecution Bette,
SerreS The Defense.

SerreS The DeTense.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 17.-Mrs.
Mary Wildrick was d witness in the
Roemer murder case this morning. She
was called by the prosecution, but the tes-
timony was really favorable to the de-
fense. She said on the night be-
fore the murder she was walking on
the street with Roemer, and Ullery and
his wife approached Roemer and Ullery
called him aside.
Then Ullery said he wanted him to pay
that $6. Roemer replied that he did not
have it, whereupon Ullery drew a pistol
and said with many oaths that it was not
the money ne wanted, but his heart.
Roemer cried not TO shoot him, that he
was unarmed, whereupon Ullery told him
to come to the hardware-store next morn
ing, and to come armed.
J. w. McAllen, an undertaken, testified
to the position of the wounds of Ullery's
body. J. Van Buren was an eyewitness
to the shooting, aud saw defendant fire
two shots. Professor J. II. Brown looked
on the scene from the opposite side of the
street w Wright saw Roemer come
into the store that morning by the back
way, aud heard Bert Martin ask him if he
wanted anything, to which Roemer replied
that he did not have what he wanted.

IN THE SUPREME COURT.
appeal of the Craig M,trder Case Heard
at Los -4nOeIeS.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 17.-This
morning the greater portion of the session
OF the Supreme Court was taken UP with
an argument in the appeal case of John
Craig, who seeks to obtain new trial
The arguments were made for the defense
by Mr.. Guthrie and Mr.. Phibbs, who were
Craig's counsel.
The principal contention on appeal was
that the Superior Court during Craigs
trial for murder of his wife admitted testi-
mony with reference to his killing of his
father-in-law and mother-ln.law a short
time afterward. 1t was also claimed that
# they could have time they could have
introduced evidence to show that Craig
did net go to the Hunter ranch the day of
the murder intending to injure his wife or
children.
Henry T. Gage argued against the propo-
sitlons advanced by counsel, claiming that
no error was committed by the lower court
in the matters referred to, and counsel for
the prosecution had offered during the
trial to give the defense ample time to pre-
pare for the testimony in which they COM
planned they were taken by surprise. After
the argument the case was taken under
advisement by the court.

much-talked-o fight between Jack Frazier
and Fred Began came off tonight in the
quarters OF the Angel City Athletic Club

Although the fight was declared draw,
the audience was treated to the most

to 126 pounds, Began to 129. From the
start Frazier was the aggressor, Began
acting until the final round on the de-
fensive.
In the first round Frazier received
blow that was almost Knockout one,
but rallied quickly and came to time in
great shape.
The two last rounds were lively, and
when the mill was stopped by police in
reference both contestants were covered
with blood. Frazier had the best of the
fight, and had it been continued would
certainly have won.

titioned the court for a receiver for the
German-American Safety Deposit Savings
Bank, alleging that the City Treasurer
drew a check yesterday on the bank for
$5s, 600, the citys balance, and payment
was refused.
The bank on Tuesday last brought suit
against the city, alleging that ex-Treas-
urer Boggs placed $4,000 worth of war
rants in the bank, the city receiving credit
as cash therefor. The warrants were IL
legal until validated, being in excess of the
constitutional limit of indebtedness.
The bank asks the court to offset the
warrants against the city's credit, and sets
this up as a defense to the city's applica-
tion for receiver. The bank denies the
city's allegation that it is insolvent The

SANTA ROSA, CAL. Oct T.-People
who have not visited Santa Rosa for a
few months past are much pleased with
the improved appearance of the city.
Miles of new cement sidewalks have been
laid in place of the old wooden ones. B
street, from Fourth to Tenth, is nearly
finished, and before the heavy rains con e
the entire length of Fourth street will be
finished. The sidewalks on Mendocino
street are nearing completion. With a
few additional blocks of sidewalk the resi-
dents of Cherry street will have an unln-
terrupted way to the Courthouse. Such
Improvements give the city an air OF prog
ress which is attractive to outsiders.
Many OF the unsightly wooden fences
around the lots have disappeared and neat
stone copings have taken their places.
Many more people would have made this
improvement but for the cow and horse
