Pendleton Oregonian.
Today there was an unusual electrical
display in this vicinity. There were
several vivid displays of sheet light
ming across the heavens. seeming to
permeate all space with flashes of fire.
Several trees and houses were struck
though no serious damage was done
The public school building was struck,
and balls of fire rolled around pro-
miScuously i'll every room, causing a
panic among the school children. More
than bali a dozen children were
burned, causing blisters, and the cloth
ing on several was burned more or
less. Several pupils had to be car
ried home.
Physicians were busy for a while,
but no serious consequences resulted,
except to Charles Petersons little girl,
who is still confined to her bed, suffer

severe nervous prostration. The same
phenomena were noticed in several
houses, and several cases of electrical
burning are reported. Lightning came
into the telegraph Office, but did little

whole locality was pervaded with the
peculiar electrical demonstration. The
storm was followed by a very low

Mr.. Norman is a thorough Englishman but
was educated in the class of 81 at Harvard
When he left that university, he finished his
studies at Lepsic and then made his debut
in journalism as member of the Pail Mall
Gazettes editorial staff. After four years of
service under Editor William T. Stead, Mr..
Norman inherited a fortune and made tour

About this time he joined the staff of the
London Chronicle and later became it's as

books-among them 1.-THE Real Japan and
Peoples and Politics of the Far East" The
entire first edition of the latter book was sold

be found in the more general practice
of cash payments in the retail trade,
and the great fall in prices which has
come about in the past twenty years.
Not long ago the smallest coin known
In the general circulation west of the
Mississippi river was the nickel five
cent piece. Only within few days
the larger ST. Louis papers were charg-
ing five cents copy for their issues,
when three cents, two cents, and even
one cent were the prevailing rates far
Their East. Now papers costing only
the fraction Of nickel are the rule
rather than the exception in the West.
The growth of the country and the COM
petition in business would Of them
selves finally bring the cent into active
use there; but the downward course of
prices has operated all over the country
to make 1t much more active coin
than ever before. Odd prices are now
frequent even where purchases are for
round amounts or considerable sums.
Penny bargain counters in some of the
big department stores have lately been
introduced. A three-cent car fare is
not unknown, and no doubt is to become
better known
In fact, SO closely is the trade of the
country calculating it's prices that a de-
mand may not be far off for the reintro-
duction of the half-cent piece. Frac-
tlonal parts OF cent are now very
common in even retail quotations. Eng
land finds use for such a coin in the
bronze farthing. France in the sou,
which is, however, more nearly the
value of a cent than a half cent Our
own laws have authorized the coinage
of half-cent piece, and from 1893 to
1871 large number of these pieces were
struck. AT two other periods before
the war there was some coinage of this
coin; but in 1857 it was discontinued,
and has not been since revived The
two-cent piece was dropped in 1873, and
the three-cent piece in 1890.
The growing Importance of the pen
ny, or, more properly, the cent, has an
important bearing on the economy Of
the people, 1t gives to the nickel, the
dime, and all pieces of money a higher
value in the eye of the possessor than
they had ever before, and teaches care
in all expenditure. No one now needs
to be ashamed to wait at the store for
the change to be brought back amount
ing to only one cent. That penny has
come to possess an important purchas-
ing power, greater than it has ever had
before. And it is in the way of being
advanced to second place above the
lowest in the divisions of the monetary
circulation

VERY PATHETIC.
The Ceremony at the Archduchess
Elixabeth1s First Communion.

London Correspondence Boston Traveller
Very pathetic was the ceremony
that took place the other day in the
small chapel Of the imperial palace at
Vienna, when Archduchess Elizabeth
celebrated her first communion The
twelve-year-old blue-eyed and golden
haired princess is the only daughter
of the late Crown Prince Rudolph
who persisted in such a mysterious
tragic manner at Meyerling five years
ago, and it may be stated that were it
not for the tenderness manifested to-
ward her by her grandparents, the en-
peror and empress, she would, indeed,
be an orphan, since her mothers con-
duct toward her has been characterized
by the same amount of heartlessness
that first led to the estrangement of
Archduke Rudolph from his wife.
Cardinal Gruscha, the prirnate of
Austria, performed the ceremony, and
at it's conclusion the little archduchess,
who wore plain white frock, her
blonde hair no longer down her back.
but for the first time worn coiled in
plaits around her shapely head, walked
up, not to her mother, but to her grand
rather, to whom she is passionately at
tached, and who Immediately bent
down and clasped her in his arms.

The st. Paul Spiritual alliance, in

brated Swedish philosopher and the
osophist, Emanuel Swedenborg.
large audience filed the lecture
room and listened with deep interest to
review of the life and teachings of
the Swedish scholar, delivered by Wal
ter Howell, the speaker of the occa-
sion. The discourse began with brief
sketch of the life of Swedenborg, and

In which, according to the speaker.
his seership eliminated was eluci-
dated to some extent and it's theories
upheld. The speaker further called
attention to the similarity between
Splrltualistlc philosophy and that of
Swedenborg, tracing the likeness in
accordance with the theories and pre-
cepts of both sects. ~
In speaking of Swedenborgs theol-
ogy, Mr. Howell particularly empha-
sized his conception Of the Trinity in
contradistinction to the Trinitarian
dogma of the orthodoxy, in that the
Swedish teacher recognized a Trinity
of essentials and not of persons. 1.-THE
Affirmation creed" said the speaker,

borg's doctrine Of the Lord, or the in
carnation, was somewhat dissented
from, for, whereas, Swedenborg de-
clares Jesus Christ to be very God In
the flesh, all men are incarnations of
the Divine, and manifestation is only
a matter of degree. Jesus may have
been a manifestation of God in a.
greater degree than ordinary men. but

Kansas City Journal.
While 1 was on a hunting trip last
month at Inman, Kan, I saw a sight
which few sportsmen have ever seen"
said Cook Herman. "One night, just as
1t was growing dusk, our party was
hunting on a lake where we had been
having good success with duck. Sud
denly the sky seemed to be clouded over
so that we thought storm was coming
up, but on looking to see what was the
cause of the sudden darkness we dis
covered that Immediately over us was
flight of wild geese, which literally
covered the sky for as far as the eye
could reach. I do not believe I would
exaggerating if I was to say that the
geese in that flight were numbered by
the thousands. For half an hour we
watched them flying by, forming all
sorts of picturesque groups like maps
in the sky, shifting rapidly from one
combination TO another. They were
flying just high enough to be out of
gunShot reach, but I managed to kill
one tired sstraggler, which had fallen
behind one of the big lunches and ven
tured where he could be reached by
a long shot It was a sight which
shall never forget, and I am still regret
ting that we could not have got a crack

PHOTOGRAPHY CURES DRINKING.
Discovery Made by n Woman Whose
Husband Was Addicted to Liquor.

Photography, which was at first employed
merely for the purpose of making portraits
has greatly broadened it's field of usefulness
1t is now used as an adjunct to many of the
arts and sciences. In engraving it is indis-
pensable. In astronomy it has been of enor-
nous assistance. In surgery it has filled a
want long felt. It's very latest use is in the
line of temperance. Properly contrved
photography may be more successful agent
in the suppression of the liquor habit than
the most eloquent prohibition orator that
ever drew a breath, says the New York
World This important discovery of the new
application of photography came about as fol-
lows:
woman in Salemville, Pa, who had suf-
Tered great distress for years on account of
her husbands convivial habits, determined
at last that he should know how he looked
when he was drunk. She felt that this
would be a disagreeable revelation, for, like
most men who drink to excess, he never ap-
peared to think that he looked any worse
than other men.
So once when he came home under the in
huence of more liquor than was absolutely
necessary, and fell into a maudln slumber
she sent for photographer and ordered him
to take picture of her husband as he sat
in his chair. This the photographer did
faithfully, and the picture was a great sue
cess, being an excellent likeness.
Next morning the husband found the pho
tograph lying beside his plate at the break
fast table. There no need of explana-
ton, for it explained itself. He studied it
long and hard and then placed it in his
breast pocket.
Since then he has not taken a drink

THE DAY OF THE PENNY.
Importance of the Little Coin to the
Economics of the People.


Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
The one-cent copper coin of the
United States is enjoying an increased
popular demand. 1t is a significant
fact that the coinage of this piece has
of very recent years taken UP more of
the time of the Philadelphia mint than
ever before. Three presses are now at
work there on copper coinage, turning
out 100000 cents day. :. This rate has
before been equaled or exceeded, but it
is worthy of remark now in view of the
previous great output Of the copper
cC1ns within the past dozen years. Since
the foundation OF the mint in 1893
l,O66, 677, sos one-cent pieces have been
struck, and it is estimated that some
$50 100000 pieces are now outstanding.
But the great bulk of this coinage has
taken place lately. From 1893 to the
beginning of the civil war the coinage
of the cent piece did not average much
above $4,000 worth year, or 100000
pieces. Just prior to and during the
war the coinage became unusually
large, but fell off during the time of in
Hated prices to a marked extent. But
In 1880 the penny coinage rose suddenly
to an unusually high figure, and has
Kept there ever since. Within the past
hfteen years almost one-half of the Ell
tire penny coinage of the whole coun-
try has been executed. Of the amount
outstanding of 7S0,OOO,000 pieces, no less
than 5O4, 100000 pieces have been struck
In the fifteen years. And the public de-
mand for the coin appears to be un-
ahated and rather on the increase.
The explanation of this is doubtless to

State Servants In France.
