mond the Montana capitalist interest
ed in the Astoria-Gobie railroad ar.
rived in this city tonight. Mr. Ham.
mond will leave for Astoria tomorrow
night to meet the railroad committee
of twenty-one of that city, and, with
j. C. Stanton, he will confer with It's
members regarding the construction
of the Astoria-Goble road
When seen by an oregonian represen-
tative, Mr.. Hammond outlined the pur-
pose of his visit, and also said that he
expected to become citizen of Oregon,
and would bring his family here to re-
side. AS to the building of the pro-
posed Astor1a-Goble road, he said:
''The option given to Mr.. Bonner and
myself, in which Mr.. Stanton and l.
w. Kimball, of Atlanta, Ga, were also
associated, could not be financed. This
was partly due to restrictions contain
ed in the agreement, but more partic,
ularly on account Of the present con,
dillon of the money market and the
lmpossTbility of now placing any kind
Of new securities. In consequence OF
this, parties who were associated with
me in the enterprise have withdrawn.
| have great faith in the project OF
building the road, and am prepared
to carry out the work myself, provid-
ing the Astoria people will make some
concessions that are now imperative.
"'The proposed road will be 66 miles
in length, and will require the expendi-
ture of about $2.OOO,OOO to construct IT,
1t will have to be built by men putting
up their own money, engaging in the
project on their own Individual respon-
sibilfty, and under suoh changed con-
ditions the people OF Astoria must take
that under consideration. The require
ments as to time of construction and
personal guarantees that Astoria will
carry out its part of the contract must
also be considered.
''Mr. Stanton, who is now in Astoria.
will be identified with me In any fu.
ture operations may undertake in
the construction Of the road

ciate, Bonner, purchased some weeks

San Francisco, March 27.--Joaquin
Miller the poet Of the Sierras, arrived
from Honolulu today, where he has
been for several months preparing a
history of Hawaii for an Eastern pub

suddenly with no other baggage than
a copy of his poems. His intended de-
parture was kept secret as he says he
was afraid the officers Of the govern

treatment accorded to political prison.

says that men are dying In prison fol
want Of air and proper food. He pre-.
diets that fillbustering expedition win
be organized to Honolulu and rescue
the political prisoners. When asked II
he was done with Hawaii, the poet
said:

cause Of this is the short supply of

the Cromwell coat, with its broad, turn.
down collar and big sleeves cut up the
inner side to show undersleeves and the
turnback cuffs, will be more widely ac-
ceptable.
One Of the prettiest Of these revivals is
undoubtedly the Cromwell collar and cuffs,
which, to be quite correct, are rather more
of Charles III than Cromwell, as they are
most of them decorated with costly and
delicate lace, vanity and frivolity "Old
Noll' would never have countenanced.
These sets are made in all kinds of white
washing fabrics and might well employ
some Of the dainty needles engaged on ST.
perfuous fancy work, for a set Of snowy,
pretty collar and cuffs will make shabby
passe gown pass as respectable.
For general wear fine cambria ruffles are
better than lace, as they launder perfectly
and are far more durable, besides being
very inexpensive.
The figure in the illustration shows q
pretty house gown of surah, of the shade
known as "Ophelia." 1t is close fitting,
with a vatican back. The front has a fall
of accordion plated surah from heck to
foot. The gown is cut away at the throat
and has a Marie Antolnette fchu Of surah
bordered with ruffle of white NOUS oline
de sole. This is fastened by a chou OF Rib-
bon with very long ends. The bishop sleeves
are finished with a similar ruffle.

SINGULAR TRIAL OF WILL POWER.
Mrs. weisner Held Mr.. Goldsbury's Hand
For Eighteen Hours.

Christian science, represented in the per.
son of Mrs. Weisner, the wife of Chicago
doctor, and great natural will power In
the person of Paul Goldsbury, also of Chi
cago, recently had remarkable struggle
for mastery at Warwick, Mass. Mrs wcis-
ner is about 33 years old, of ordinary ply
sique, while Goldsbury is about 25 and
finely developed.
Mrs. Weisner Is an enthusiast concern
ing Christian science and believes In IL
implicitly. Mr.. Goldsbury, on the other
hand, while a Christian, does not believe
in Christian science. The two friends had
many earnest discussions and these cul-
minated in an assertion from Mrs Weisner
that, with the assistance of Christian sci
ence, she could demonstrate that her will
' Is stronger than that Of Goldsbury, and
she challenged him to physical test He
accepted.
They were to clasp hands, and the one
that first unclasped was to be the van
quished. Hands were clasped by the man
and woman, and, incredible as 1t may
seem, this clasp was not broken for Is
hours, and then only by force.
Friends at first thought the contest bit
of pleasantly, but as the hours wore on
and neither would yield remonstrances fol-
lowed. Finally they were broken apart
by main force, but not without a severe
struggle.
In order to subdue Goldsbury 1t was nec-
essary to take him to his summer home
and tie him. Mrs. Weisner showed little
effects Of the long struggle The claim is
that she hypnotized Goldsbury, but it would
seem that his will held out until they were
parted, and then he was far from having
lost his natural power.

ties. The cooperation of himself and the
man Is a valuable assurance of safety. The
routine part of the work has become so
familiar to the baboon that he would be
incapable of forgetting things where the
man might do SO through mental preoc'
cupation.
The baboon not only switches the trains,
but he flags them. He understands per.
fectly when told to exhibit a red, white
or green signal.
He does many other things that will
seem incredible to people who have never
met members of his family under favor
able conditions. 1t should be remembered
that monkeys Of the better class seldom
visit this country. The few who do are
quickly enfeebled In health by the climate
and are then in no condition to exhibit
their talents.
This haboon belongs to the chacma
family of South Africa, and consequently
has very high standing for Intelligence
among apes. The doings of his family,
not always admirable, are recorded both IN
natural history and in novels, and they
are very interesting reading.
The switchman's baboon pushes little
trolley from his masters little hut to Port
Elizabeth for the purpose of fetching tolls
provisions and other things. He cleans
his masters house, prepares his food
spreads the table for him and waits on hin
and generally lightens the burden OF hi
| lonely life.
