Death of Mrs. Portwood.

Mrs. Sarah Portwood, aged 81, died
Saturday last at the home Of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. u. Stephens on Camp creek,
Grant county, Of paralysis. She had
been in very poor health for several
years and kept growing weaker until
Saturday, 23d inst, when the good old
lady peacefully passed away and joined
the silent majority. The body was laid
TO rest in private graveyard on Camp
creek Sunday.
Mrs. Portwood was lady OF sterling
qualities, Of loving and kind disposi-
ton and an exemplary mother. She
and her husband moved in 1875 from
Kansas to Polk county, this state, where
the latter died three years ago. Five
sons reside in this county--John, Ed,
Joshua, Oscar and Tom, and one son,
Henry, in Polk county. the latter being
the only one of the children who was
not present at the burial

A Case of spitework.

Last evening Frank NJ Lacey, resid-
ing IN Albina, was arrested by Consta-
bic Connor on a warrant charging him
with perjury. Lacey was at one time a
member Of the bntchering firm Of Lacey.
Fink Il Co., but sold ont toe. +. Walker
for $1,000, and, as alleged, agreed not to
again engage in the retail bntchering
business. Walker bad paid $500 Of the
amount agreed upon, when, Lacey again
opening butcher shop, contrary to
stipuations, he refused TO pay the re-
naming 500. Suit was brought In the
circuit court for the money, and was
tried before Judge Shattuck Yesterday,
resulting in favor OF Walker. Judge
Shattuck directed District Atty. Hume
TO draw up an information against
Lacey, charging him with perjury, which
being done the arrest followed. Lacey's
bonds were fixed at 1900, which amount
he furnished, and he was released from
custody, pending examination.-Orego

inequality In the World.

There is, and there always has been,
inequality in the world, in spite of the
striving of generous hearts and en-
lightened minds for equality. Although
equality has never ceased to show it.
self, and effect itself, within the diff
ferent orders, and in modern times to
characterize at least specifically that
large composite order which we call
good society, civilization is still em-
bruited and endangered by inequality.
One need not allege instances; they are
abundant in everyone's experience and
observation; and those who dread or
affect to dread the dead level of equal
ity are quite right in saying that even
in political democracy there is as
much inequality as anywhere. But this
does not prove that they are right in
admiring it, that it is not offensive and
stupid. Inequality still persists, but SO
does theft, SO does murder, so does I'M
chastity, so do almost all the sins and
shames that ever were. Inequality is,
in fact, the sum of them; in the body of
this death they tester and corrupt for
ever. AS long as we have inequality we
shall have these sins and shames, which
spring from it, and which live on from
inferior to superior. Few vices 1.-Two

OF whom she is justly proud, is DR..

REV. DR.. Brann, rector of st. Agnes

The League of the Sixteen was
Protestant combination formed by
Henri de Bourbon, afterward known as
Henry ~, against the Catholic league
under the leadership of the duke of
Guise. Henry Ill, hated the Guses and
supported the league, which ultimately
attained most of the purposes for which
it was formed.
There are more ordained women
preachers, apparently, in this country
than in any other. Recent statistics
show they number in all 1885. Three
years ago there were only 725, but in the
present day many religious bodies
recognize the ministerial rights of
women, and they are found among the
Congregationalists, Baptists, Method
lists, Universalists and Unitarians.
The Christian Sabbath has been
made legal holiday in Japan by the au-

theory that all men need a day of rest,
and partly out of respect to the Chris
tian religion. The government officers

business is universally suspended, al

operation seven days in the week. I'm

NAPOLEON and Washington.

Sobered for the moment by contem-
plating past danger which had threat
ened humiliation, and by the crowding
responsibilities of the future, the bet
ter side of the first consurs nature was
for a time dominant. So far as consist
ent with his aspirations for personal
power and glory, he put into practical
operation many of the most important
revolutionary ideals, failing only in
that which sought to substitute a ma
tionai for Roman church. But in
this process he took full advantage
of the state of French society to make
himself indispensable to the continu-
ance of French life on its new path.
Incapable of the noble self-abnegation
which characterized the close of Wash
ington's career, by the parade of civil
liberty and q restored social order he
so minimized the popular, representa-
tive, constitutional side of his recon-
structed government as to erect it into
a virtual tyranny on its political side.
The temptation to make the fact and
the name fit each other was overpower-
ing, for the self-styled commonwealth,
with a chief magistrate claiming to
hold his office as a public trust, was
quite ready to be launched as a liberal
empire under a ruler who in reality |
held the highest power as possession.

CRIMP SHIPS,
Sailors Cannot Now Refuse to Take Ter
rible Chances.

/
| ribIe Chances.
Important action will be taken by
the Atlantic Coast Seamen's union at
the next session of congress, which it's
officers hope will result in entirely
wiping out the present nefarious
crimping system. A national conven-
ton of the seamen's unions will be held
early in December, and the next con-
gress will be petitioned to investigate
the crimping system, preparatory to
passing laws to do away with the sys-
TEN of shipping sailors Throughout the
United States.
The crimping system, l feel sure.
will be done away with next summer
by act of congress-" said Secretary
James H. Williams recently. I'VE have
received the assurance that congress
will act in the matter, and the labor de-
partment will submit such evidence of
the degradation to which sailors are
subjected by the shipping masters that
only one course will be open to the fair
minded men in congress.
Never before has the condition of
seamen been so deplorable as at the
present time, in spite of all that the
Atlantic Coast Seamen's union has
been able to do for them. At present
nearly half of the ships in this port
should not be allowed to go to sea, and
any competent board would undoubt-
edly condemn many of them.
Yet a crimp ships sailors on these
ships, and if they refuse to trust their
lives on these ships they are liable to
be imprisoned for three months without
q warrant. There are already num-
Der of sailors in Jail for this offense
and in some cases the ships they refused
to sail in have never been heard FROM"

10 WEAR IN THE SADDLE.
becoming Costumes for Women who Ride
Horseback.

1 . d
becoming Costumes for Women Who Ride
Horseback.
i The woman who rides should remen,-
Der that in the fit and style of her habit
depends her appearance in the saddle
Fashions in riding costume change but
little from year to year, but that little
change means much.
The entire outfit should be obtained
from the best habit maker in town
This year there are two riding coats in
vogue. One is a jaunty double breasted
cutaway, made to show vest and linen
chemisette. 1t has small turnover
collar and peaked lapels to roll open;
also a mannish pocket near the left
shoulder. The other coat is single
breasted and ends at the waist line in
a point, with coat-tail back. The first
coat is the more popular, as every wom-
an who rides delights in vest, and it s
il this coat that the vest is displayed to
advantage.
The latest vests are of Tattersall vest
ing in plaid designs. They are extreme
ly stylish and give the correct touch of
color to dark costume. The novelty
of the season is a dark blue and bright
green plaid. Plain red vests are always
in favor during the fall, and they are
pretty enough to be worn the year
round.
Shetland cloth is perhaps the newest
material for riding habits, but the
standard cloths, like whipcord, melton
on1 cOyert ara nj y,,rr RI 1,a ,.aI;o1 ,,,,,,,
The favorite colors are dark blue,
brown, black and deep green. The skirt
of the well-made riding habit does not
fit too tightly over the hips. 1t meas
ures two inches below the foot when in
the saddle. A new riding skirt, which
originates with one of the best habit
makers in town, is well worth adopt-
ing. 1t has one seam of the skirt on she
side, which goes over the pommel, but
toned instead of sewed. The buttons
are arranged with fly, so that they
are invisible or the outside of the skirt,
but in case of an accident or when any
extra strain is brought to bear upon the
seam it will quickly unbutton.
The linen chemisette and collar worn
with the riding habit changes but little
from season to season. 1t should al
ways be severely plain, and four-in-
hand tie is preferred to stock bow. A
small black four-in-hand is considered
the most correct. The newest riding
gloves are of heavy kid, with the seams
sewed on the outside. They fasten with
from four to six buttons and come in
all the dark shades, dull red being the
most in vogue. Heavy suede gloves
with pique seams are seen in lighter
shades and are also much worn for
riding The most correct riding boot
is a top boot of embossed black leather
OF patent leather. In riding hats the
derby rules supreme. Whether it is be-
coming or not the fashionable woman
who rides must wear it.
AS to the undergarments for riding,
is better for both comfort and |
than the combination suit, and |
over this the loose-fitting corset and |
black equestrian tights. Nothing more
is needed. An extra covert coat will |
often be found a useful addition to the
riding costume.-N. Y. World.
