yesterday at 8 O'Clock with a large at
tendance. Letters from Miss Morrill, de-

From the annual report we learn that
the subjects under discussion during
the year have been the schools in Dakota
and South Carolina, to which barrels.of
clothing have been sent. Proportionate
and systematic giving has received con-
sidera bic thought. The browning event

Home Industry.

Since the firm of Johann HoT. of Berlin.
formed a syndicate with their agents. the
EisnerMend elson Co., of New York, to
erect plant in the United States for the
manufacture of the celebrated Johann
Hoff's Malt Elk tract. in 1892. the sale CT the
article here has increased enormously, and
it has become a standard commodity on the
American market.
The plant erected is one of the best
equipped of its kind. and has capacity 10
turn out nearly 10,u00,G00 bottles annually
The article manufactured here is. in every
way superior TO the one formerly imported
as the machinery and equipment of the
plant is of the newest and best, and the
material used, of The choicest.
This only proves that anything under
taken in the United States is always on !,
arger and more elaborate scale than in the
old country, even with an article Which was
originaled abroad nearly ff y years ago.

! From that day to this Francis Murphy
has been one of the great leaders in the
cause of moral reform, and his services
in behalf OF the cause of temperance have
given him a world wide fame
| Mr.. Murphy before he went to Colonel
Bradbury's office met Rev.I. Luce, an
old friend. who suggested that he ought
to come to Portland and hold a series of
meetings, and when he met Colonel Brad
bury that gentleman not only made the
same suggestion, but offered to himself
preside at the opening meeting, ard In

that nothing would give him greater
pleasure if he could only make the neces-
sary arrangements.
MIR. Murphy spoke of the great pleasure
it gave him to again meet Colonel Brad
bury, and said that he thought that a
little later it might he possible for him
to speak at City Hall. He referred to
the remarkably successful series of meet

same kind of meetings would do good
here.
Mr.. Murphy will go from here to Miohi-
gan, where he is to conduct series of
temperance meetings in one of the lead

here would hardly know him now. His
hair and heavy moustache are now an
iron gray. He is still as erect as ever.
and his voice has the old pleasant ring.
On his part Colonel Bradbury was
evidently much pleased at the meeting
with his former client. Mr.. Murphy
made the trip to Portland in order that
he might meet the colonel and intro

said he had found Lewiston a very inter-

The general comment ON the
low prices we are asking for our
millinery this season is not
surprising to us. We knew
that, when we marked them, but
we are in accordance with the
demand for stylish, pretty goods
at medium prices. The standard
of quality is the same for
which we have always been
noted, but the figuring ON all
have dropped. For instance.
the quality of hat we have sold
in seasons past at So is now
SLIGO. On $3.50 and $1.75
hats the price is S1.33. For
SIC and 81 hats, we now ask
69c. It's the same with flowers.
ribbons, laces, rhinestone and
fancy ornaments. Everything
in our store i'm fact, has felt the
change.
We have roses, made of velvet
and silk, three i'm bunch for Is
cents, that were made to sell for
% or 80 cents. It's your op-
pOrtunity to get the best at the
prices of the cheap.
This week our work rooms are
very busy with Easter orders. 1t
takes time to turn out the work,
so see that we have your orders
early, and we will see that you
have a pretty hat for Easter.

Any promise he makes | should be sure
he would fulfill, although it might be an
inconvenience for him to do SO. I do not

sure he would be far richer man than
he is if he had never done anything for
his party but vote. Why he should spend
SO much of his time and of his means in

bend. There is only one reason for it
that | have ever heard, and that is that
it is pastime to him-that he enjoys
the excitement of it. 1t is his way of in
dulging in recreation.
For my part I am thoroughly appre-
ciative of any man who will relieve me
of the labor of performing my political
duties If he will keep the machinery
going I am thankful to him. If he does
it disinterestedly, never seeking place or
help for himself, l consider him in the

THE PASS QUESTION.

1t is noticeable that many papers ar
que in favor of the total abolition of the
granting of railroad passes to state Of
TIGERS, because the state pays mileage.
The Milwaukee Journal says: "By what
right are they to have railroad passes?
Every person who rides free on the rail
road is making bill of expense for his
fellow citizen who pays his fare" But,
now, suppose that the issuance of passes
to state officers were required by law
as part of the railroad tax or license
due the state, and stop the payment Of
all mileage, then instead of making a
bill of expense" to the taxpayers of the
state, it would be a saving to the state
of the total amount now paid for mile
age On the other hand if passes
were prohibited state officers and
mileage paid, some if not all state
officers would still secure passes
on other accounts than the offices which
they hold. For instance, newspaper men
who might hold state offices would still
travel on their mileage books received
legitimately through their newspaper
business, and pocket the mileage the
same as now. And lawyers who were
the local attorneys of railroads would
have their own private passes as now,
and in various other ways outside of
their public offices state officials would
become possessed of passes, and there
would he no way to stop it even if there
was any desire to. And all the while the
payment of mileage would still go on as
now. To require passes for public Off
ciais within the state and abolish mile
age would be a saving to the people
with no greater imposition on the rail
roads than is practiced now.-NOrthwest-

ADOBE HOUSE COMING In.

Colorado Springs Setting the Fashion For
the Remainder of America.
The first houses erected upon Ameri-
can soil were built of adobe. or sun
dried brick, and adobe houses now
promise to become quite a fad in the
west. Colorado Springs has set the fash
ion, and we seem to be at last on the
trail of genuine national school of ar
chitecture. There is an impr ession that
adobe houses are unsu bstantial and IN
desirable places of residence. The fact
is, however, that a we'll built adobe
house is cooler in summer, warmer in
winter and more successful in defying
time and the elements than house of
wood or fire brick.
Many of the most ancient buildings
now standing on this continent are the
adobe structures in Mexico, New Mex
leo, Arizona and California. In Santa

terprise. The wisdom of the choice was
so apparent that the ladies who became
associated with Mrs. Thompson in the
work elected her president without de-
bate. Among the other prominent Off
GERS are Mrs. W. c. Lanier, first vice
president; Mrs. S. NJ Inman. second

and Mrs. w H. FELTON,, chairman of

tee is very strong body. and its men,
bership includes many of the most ca
pable women of the south.
A reasonable portion of the exposi-
TONS funds were allotted for Won
ans building upon condition that the
ladies should raise money for a proper
exhibit. For such purpose a large sum
was needed, but the ladies were un-
daunted. Every fair attache Of the wom-
ans department Immediately began
scheming. and many excellent plans for
securing money have been and are be-
ing carried out. The gay world of At
lanta has turned its entire attention to
boarding up the American dollar, and
the proceeds of about every entertain
ment that is held are devoted to the
woman's exhibit fund. As a result,
money is coming in at rapid rate, and
the success of the woman's department
seems assured.

BLsCHOFF "REMOvED."


The Governor Removes the Wrong Man
Surprising Him to be Police Commits
sioner.
A funny thing happened when Gov.
Morrill, sent out notices yesterday notify
ing the old board of police commission
ers that they had been removed.
Commissioners Yount and Whiting re-
ceived notices signed by the governor,
but Commissioner Krauss did not and he
was at loss to know why he had been
spared when it had been announced that
Gov Morrill, had named Charlie Holli-
day as his successor. 1t was not long
until he found out why he had received
no notice. The notice intended for him
was sent to Oscar Bischof Bischoff "a
a candidate for the appointment before
Gov Morrill, and he was astonished to
find by the notice that he had been re-
moved before he was appointed.
