EXPELLED FROM THE ORDER.

Astoria, Ore, March l6.-The
principal talk among society men,
bers today is the action of the A.
o. U. w. Saturday night in expell-
ing F. d. Winion, a well-known
attorney of this city, from the order.
The action is the result of a long
drawn-out trial, based on the
charges against Winton because OF
his action in collecting a $3.50 fee
from Mrs. Feakes for collection
of the policy from the A. O. U. w.
on the life of her husband, who died
last fall. The order pays without
the intervention of attorneys. There
was much excitement at the time
the lodge made its final decision on
a mass of evidence, and both sides
claim unfair dealings. Winton,
backed by his friends, it is said,
will appeal to the supreme lodge.
This is an unusual proceeding in
the order, and the outcome will be
watched with much interest.

the latter desired.
Thanking his benefactor, the hungry
fellow proceeded TO the restaurant aud
Immediately seated himself at table and
gave his order for porterhouse steak
with all the fixings. He also ordered a
quarter of pie some pudding and cake for
dessert.
After his bountiful repast he stepped up
to the counter, apparently ready with his
cash, but before he produced it, he call
ed for 10 cent cigar and asked the pro-
prietur to have one himself, and then
rendered his order in payment for his
dinner. Ii was accepted, OF course, but
the business man stared this morning
when he came to pay the bill, and de-
clared that hereafter he should be care

are supposed not TO be solid bodies. In
deed, it is believed that the PARTICLES in
timatsly associated in grand tour
through space ana forming what we call
a comet are very small. How much harm
a comet would create on the earth by
hitting it would depend on the size of
these so.called PARTICLES, and the number
of them in the particular comet. The
collision might be serious to the earth
and would undoubtedly be disastrous to
the comet. In fact, in the language of
the day, the comet would be likely to be
all broken up. The bombardment of the
earth by comet would be like the shying
of lot of glittering stones at us. IL the
stones were large and many, somebody
on the arth, and the earth itself, would
be likely to suffer serious damage. If
they were no bigger than pebbles no great
harm would be done.

COMET COMING.

PERRINE's comet is reported to be COM
ing toward the earth at the rate of 1900,
00J miles a day.
This is an appalling spsed to be sure.
But as the comet is about Is, 0O0, 900 miles
away there is still time to collect our wits
even though we eau probably do nothing
to prevent a shock in case the comet
keeps right on soming and hits us.
The scientists, however, are convinced
that the path the comet is pursuing will
turn II away from the earth on about
March /, although minute errors in the
calculations would be enough to make the
estimate of the path Of the comet all
wrong. IL is not impossible that some
day comet may sin against the earth.

One hundred and slxty-four years ago
today, GEORGE WASHINGTON was born.
According to the light and understanding
OF the present day, and stripped of all SEN
timcnt tending to idolatary or dedication,
he is the grsndest, most heroic, and most
inspiring figure in the pages of history
after the man who was born Jesus.
That this is so is largely because of char
actorstics that every young man may hope
TO possess even though opportunity and
like that OF wAsHINoToN's in world his
tory. For the peerless American was not
a scholar AS military leader he does
not rank first. He never won great bat
tie. Other men have heen, or even,
more eminent in statecraft. WASHING
TONS fame rests neither upon his knowl-
edge, his discoveries, his military tri-
umphs, nor his craftsmanship, but upon
the spirit that was infused into every act
and that distinguished what he did-a
spirit that we may all OF us hope to culti-
vate and pray that some spark of it may
be in us.
WASHINGTON was heroic in nature.
Heroism was In his every word and act,
the sort OF heroism that the humblest
may aspire to. There was no blemish in
his character. Tho story OF the cherry
tree, like a parable, pictures the man.
lie was honorable and courageous;
mentally, morally, physically he was as
sound as oak. He was fearless. He vas
the incarnation OF duty, OF self-sacrifice,
and OF patriotism.
Defeat and discouragement were power
less to move him from purpose that he
believed to be right, just as success
and flattery failed to sweryc him from the
path of patriotic duty to which he had
consecrated his llfe lie was massive,
splendid fellow, was GEORGE wAsHISo-
TON.
We celebrate his memory today and
every day.
