The shooting Of each other by the

number Of disclosures in connection

Tue time for holding the Oregon
State Fair is coming on. Oregon has
probably the finest state fair grounds
on the Pacific coast. The buildings are
also first-class. The fair is held at the
time Of year when the farmer wants
little recreation before going into ..wln-
ter quarters and at Salem is q good
place to get 1t. The fair this year Is
to last ten days. This is an experiment
that has succeeded In most states,
although 1t Is doubtful IL the thinly
scattered population here warrants
that extension Of time. Salem has
splendid train facilities for people to
come here and get away the same day
and there Is no reason for the money
that Is spent why the Oregon State
Fair should not be great success and
tend greatly to the upbuilding of the
state and the education of its people.

A Funeral ON a Chinese Flower-Boat.

I saw many other strange sights on
these house-boats. For instance, at
ceremonials for the dead woman, the
chief mourner, dressed in light blue,
bound with a narrow darker edging,
would be seated higher than the COM
panions similarly attired who sat close
to her. Men were moving about the
place. The room was hung with bright
lanterns, table was loaded with sweets
and delicacies and profusely decorated
with paper ornaments, flowers, tinsel
and bright things of all Sorts
The walls were hung with paper
clothing. fans, boots, hats and
other articles, all of paper. Stuck
fiat against the wall over the
outer door were great saucer. shaped
disks, the hollow parts and edges OF
which were profusely decorated with
gold and silver tinsel. paper ribbons
and streaners, and curious ornaments,
making q blaze of color five or six feet
across. / was given to understand
that all these hanYings and ornaments
were afterward burned. It seemed to
me that most of the passers-by were
free to go in and partake of the delica-
cies provided. Frequently l saw men
enter, move through the crowd in the
room and around the table, and go out
again directly, without touching any
thing.-Florence O'Driscoll, M. p, in

FEAST DAYS.

"THE Feast of Fools" was the name
given by the monks to the Christian
holiday which took the place OF the
Saturnalia.
THE British and German druids had
festival that nearly correspondent, in
the time of its observance, to our Christ
mas season.
MAY 30, the anniversary of the sign
ing of the Mecklenburg declaration OF
independence, is a legal holiday in
North Carolina.
DECEMBER 25, Christmas day, is q
legal holiday in all the states. and in
South Carolina the two following days
are also holidays.

THE burning of the yule log in Eng

So high was the top of the great hotel
that the garish blue-white of the cleo
trio lights which so lavishly dotted the
city was toned down to a gentle lumin-
Gus haze.
The man on the bed tossed from side
to side uneasily, rolled on to his back,
lay with his mouth upon the pillow.
In his right hand he held crunched
letter written in wOman'S writing, and
as certain waves of dream crept over
him he rumpled the letter savagely.

and he broke into paroxysm of cough

Of terror. George Carr had been in
America before, and knew what these
things portended. Quickly dropping
his feet on to the boards of the floor,
ne walked across them, unlocked his
door, and opening it looked into the
passage. He had no doubt then as to
what had occurred. Not far below him
was the crisp cracking of flames, and
mingled with it came the cries of badly
frightened women and men,
MY God, the hotel is on fire." he ex-
claimed. 1T is built of wood from
cellar to roof tree; it is crammed with
people: and l am close under the shin
giles on the eleventh floor!''
He went out on to the landing in his
night-gear as he was, and attempted
to descend. Columns of grey vapor
which stung the eyes and nOstrils
rolled up the shaft of the stairway;
and. looking over the banisters. he saw
through the smoke arms of tawny flame
which shot greedily up towards him.
The heat was terrific: it drove him
back to his room even before the smoke
forced retreat. Baked by the con-
tinued heat of summer. the great wood
en- hotel was burning as though it had
been anointed with tar.

stood in the midst of the floor. trem-

GRANDMOThER'S DOLLARS.

What Her Descendants Might Have Had
In Interest from Them.
A woman recently died in q neigh
boring town, and besides grand
daughter and her cynical husband she
left a few relatives and eighty dollars
in gold, with other things. The wom-
an was over ninety-five when she died,
and the eighty dollars included her
wedding presents. Like many persons
in those days, she held fast to the shin
ing eagles. and had had them for near
ly seventy years. When she died. of
course, the birds were distributed
among the heirs.
The cynical husband, who was mar
ried to the old lady's favorite grand
daughter. unused upon the eighty dol
lars in gold and stripped his thoughts
of all sentiment as he specialized in his
mind what might have been. He is
not quite through with his figuring
yet, and his constant query is, il
grandmother had only put that eighty
dollars in the bank when she first
got it what clutch of golden eagles
we would have now! He unused on
this as he got ready on cold mornings
to go to work. and his favorite topic of
thought was suggested as he jingled
a nickel and bunch of keys looking
for his car fare. Then he began to fig
ure that money at six per cent. doubles
in about eleven years, and he lost
sleep as he thought how many times
eleven years went into seventy-seven
years. When the cynical husband
finally referred the question of his losses
to bank man he learned that in fifty
years the eighty dollars in gold would

the bank man said he would easily
consider that ten thousand dollars was
lost by saving the eighty dollars.-

THE RESULT OF PROTECTION.
Slavish Existence Of Employees of Car.
negie's Works.

Andrew Carnegie, who has grown
rich by the favor of the United States
government, has announced through
his general manager that any working.
man at Homestead who shall join a
labor organization will be at once dis
charged. At meeting of the working
men employed by Mr.. Carnegie his de-
tectives were present and the next
morning the workingmen who were
prominent in the movement were dis
charged. Life at Homestead must be
worse for a workingman than the life
of a slave in the south in the old plan
tation days. The slave at least was
well fed and well treated, because he
was property and had to be looked
after or he would be loss on his mas
ter's hands. The workingmen at
Homestead have not even the treat
ment of the plantation slave.
This is the logical result of a protec-
tive tariff. The tariff raised the prics
of products to the people at large and
SO increased Mr.. Carnegie's gains. The
workingmen wanted their wages raised
in order that, according to the theory
of the tariff law. they might get their
share of the results of the robbery OF
the people at large. This resulted in a
strike because Mr.. Carnegie would not
pay his men any more than he had to.
In the meantime, the current -.ate OF
wages throughout the country fell be-
cause of the heavy burden of taxation
for protected industries which all
classes of people had to pay whether
they were protected or not. Mr.. Car
negie promptly reduced the wages in
his protected industry down to the cur
rent level. There was another strike
and the Pinkerton detectives shot the
workingmen until the survivors were
willing to return at the wages Mr..
Carnegie offered.
Now Mr.. Carnegie proposes to refuse
to permit his workingmen to organize
peaceably and lawfully III their COM
mon interest. Suppose that If for a
week or month the law were to be
enforced against Mr.. Carnegie and SUP
pose that he were to be punished for
the blow holes in the armor plate ne
furnished to the United States navy;
suppose he were to be punished for his
frauds: suppose that the law were to
be dealt out with even hand to him,
cOuId any WORST punishment DE lnHlct-
ed upon him than 10 make him take
the place of one of his worikingmen.
working for twelve or fourteen hours
day in sitting atmosphere without
sufficient pay to buy wholesome food
and without enough clothing to meet
the storms of the winter without?
What a blessed thing is that protec-
tive tariff which produced men like
