Deputy Collector Autzen recently made
a request to the department for the estab-
lishment Of q marine hospital service for
the free use Of sailors. He has just re.
ceived reply from Walter Wyman, Su-
pervising Surgeon General II. NJ. S., in
which he says there being no available
fund for establishing new services the
request can not be complied with at this
time.
George Nye returned Monday evening
from Boston, where he had been in at.
tendance upon the great Christian En-
deavor convention. He also visited his
childhood home, besides taking in the
sights in and around Boston. The rocks
on the beach hurt his tender feet, but he
got even and made the Bostonians mad
by saying the bathing was not so good
there as here.
All the women in Chehalis county in

The Eunice Goodrich company, which
commenced a weeks engagement on
Monday evening at the Acme opera
house, has entertained full houses each
night, and given the people Of Aberdeen
the best theatrical performances that
have ever been placed upon the boards of
this city. The play tonight will be the
laughable comedy, Wanted, Husband.
Tomorrow night, Little Romp. Matinee
Saturday afternoon, and concluding the
engagement Saturday night. Full houses
should continue to greet them if for no
other reason them than to show appreci-
alton OF the character of the troupe.
Montesano was visited by another de-
structive fire last Monday. The fire was
discovered in Kendall's saloon about four
o'clock in the morning. The firemen
responded promptly to the alarm, and
succeeded in combining it to the building
in which it originated. The building was
owned by Ninemire & Morgan, whose
loss is estimated at $1,000, insurance $500.
Kendall's loss is estimated at $500, with
no insurance, and the adjoining building
and contents, owned by J. II. Law, were
damaged by fire and water about $4,000,
OH which there was no insurance. The
cause Of the fire is supposed to be incend-
larry.
A. Damitio has small lumber yard
piled up around his establishment which
has been cut with his new saw mill, and
which will be made into fish boxes for
the growing shipments. Mr.. Damitio has
an ingenious arrangement for getting the
logs upon the dock where the saw is.
Two chains are fastened to large log
under the dock and pass up and'over two
pulleys above and little back from the
edge Of the dock. At high tide the log to
be lifted is attached to the other end OF
the chains, and as the tide goes out the
big log goes down and lifts this smaller
log to its place on the wharf.
On Saturday Mr.. Chas. l.. Lewis re-
ceived direct from the factory in New
York q superb Wing piano, which he had
ordered and which had been sent to him
across the continent, freight prepaid, on
condition that if after twenty days trial
it was not satisfactory to him it might be
returned at the expense Of the company.
So we'll pleased was he with the volume
and quality Of the tone, its ease Of action
and handsomely polished carved case OF
burl walnut, that he promptly waived the
twenty days trial and accepted it. The
instrument is one of their largest cabinet
grand pianos. Several less expensive
styles are made, the price depending on
the size and case.
