which Is unlike any sleeping room probably
in the world.
LIKE A PINK SHE'LL.
Lillian Russell Srejoices in a sleeping
apartment which suggests nothing 80 much
as great pearly pink sea shell. Her little
single bed is Iiofl1brass but scarcely a
trace OF the glittering metal can be seen,
SO much of motlier-of-pearl has been used.
Not only to Inlay but to cover the pillars
and bars has Che cleaning substance been
used. ucE
The draperies arc of white silk bolting
sloth painted in pink morning glories and
delicate arbutus, lined with palest pink
satin. Soft White lace over pink satin
forms the covering for the bed and for the
hard round bolster. and falls on both sides
almost to the white velvet carpet.
A DAINTY DRESSER.
The dressing table is of pink enamel in
1aIo With wreaths and cupids of mother
of-pearl, with faint traceries of gold. The
oval-shaped mirror is framed in a wreath
of porcelain morning gIories, the hand
mirrors are of mother-ofpearl set with
Jeweled monograms. All of the brushes
and toilet belongings are of gold and the
exquisite sheeny pearl-like substance. The
dressing chair matches the toilet table
in coloring and ornamentation. 1t is a
quaint little affair, with cushions soft as
down. There is no back, of course SO
that the maid can brush Miss Russell IS
golden cGris with all ease and dispatch,
but the arms are broad and curving, and
upon these the singer rests her 6liinpled
elbows and avoids much OF the fatigue of
toilet-making.

Constance Cary, of the famous Virginia
family, has her bedroom furnished with
the quaint old mahogany furniture in which
her grcat-grandmothe delighted. The
roomy old bed would make two of any

bed stand the quantity carved steps,

of Rev. J. G. Butler, pastor, at Luther
Place Church yesterday morning.

Over 700 sacks of this year g wheat
have already been received at the Waco

Rumored Accident to Charles Hobart

A rumor spread rapidly over the city
this morning that Charles Hobart, a
railroad engineer, well known to resi-
dents of The Dalies, had been killed in
railroad accident on the Northern
Pacific. The news was that the rails
spread, causing the engine to topple
over, and killing both Mr.. Hobart and
his fireman. Another rumor said it
happened in collision. A telegram
was sent to Cascade Locks. where G. G.
Hobart, the father of Charles, lives,
asking for information, but the answer
came that the father had not received
any message. Messages were sent to
different points, but up to late hour
no answers had been received.
LATEr-A telegram has just been re-
ceived, saying Mr.. Hobart was not
killed, as reported, but had his ankle
broken. The fireman was killed.
Refrigerator car, 1886, which left
The Dalles July 25th, oyer the o. R. &
N. Co. and Short Line, has been heard
from. It was loaded with peach plume
and small fruits, and from here was
billed to Chicago, which place was
reached in SIX days after leaving The
Dalles, The Chicago market was found
glutted with fruit, and after a days de.
lay, the car was re-shipped to New
York. In ten days from The Dalles il
reached the metropolis. The fruit was
in excellent condition, and found a
ready sale. This experience demon.
strates that fruit can be shipped from
Oregon to anywhere, and next season
the amount of shipments will be greatly
increased.
This is the smokiest summer The
