KinzIe played nne game for Asto-
ria. as did Smith and Bartholomew:
but the surprise OF the day was Win
Crosby's good work. Early in the
game he made three fouls, but after
that did finely. Kinzie. brother OF
the A. F. c. man, and McCraw played
great bal. for Ilwac0,
The defeat was well deserved by the
a. f. c. when men leave the field be-
cause they cannot blum the umpire out
OF his decisions, they need nxlng.
Then, again, they were eternally tell
ing each other how TO play. In short,
they succeeded In making themselves
foolish. Despite all this. the game
was excellent. Many are OF the opin-
ion the A. r. c. team can beat the
Ilwacos with practice. Two OF As
toria's best players had not been on
the field until yesterday for year.

FAST TIME MADE.

Captain Ed. Mccoy, the popular
skipper Of the tug Relief, arrived yes
terday morning from Port Townsend,
with the bark Sonoma in tow. The
Sonoma has been sent 20 the Columbia
river consigned TO the Portland Four
ing Mills for loading for Vladlvostock,
Russia. This will be the first cargo
shipped from this sIriver to that port
Capt. Mccoy left Astoria at p,
m. Thursday, spent three hours at
Port Townsend, and was back on the
Columbia bar. Just fifty-two hours for
the round trip. This Is probably one
OF the quickest trips made TO the
Sound. The Relief is washing boilers
and will be ready for work again In
few days The captain says there
were a large number Of vessels at Port
Townsend, both coasters and deep-sea
ships.
Being questioned by an Astorlan
representative, Capt Mccoy stated
that when putting to sea Thursday he
ran down fishing boat which filled
with water and sank. lie took the
men off, picked up their net. and put
back TO Elmore's dock, where they
landed. The boat was one belonging
to the Emoro cannery. The captain
says there was no truth In the re-
port circulated that the men had fired
upon him, at least not to his knowl-
edge. The accident was unavoidable
in the haze and darkness Of the even
ing, the fishing boat not being sight
ed until right under the nose Of the
tug.
The weather outside is hazy and dali
ly growing worse, and II is probable
that there will be no more clear wealth
er runtil after the southeast winds

AROUND TOWN.

There are, in this loud stunning tide
OF human care and crime,
With whom the melodies abide
OF the everlasting chime,
Who carry music in their hearts,
Through dusty lanes and crowded
marts,
Plying their daily toll
With busted feet,
Because their secret souls
A holy strain repeat"

Suing fer Half a Mustaehe.

A singular story is reported in the
GdiigHdili Messenger from st. Calais
\ few days ago several persons were
sitting at table in local hotel when
the splendid mustache of horse dealer
became the subject of conversation.
One of the members of the party COM
plimented the horse dealer and asked
him for what price he would sell his
mustache. ''Ten francs" replied the
latter, laughingly. ~ will buy half of
them" said the would-be purchaser,
placing five francs on the table. The
horse dealer put the mouey in his
pocket and later in the evening left
the hotel. Not quite appreciating the
joke, the man who was minus the five
francs sought the aid of the County
Court process server, and, having laid
the information in regular form
brought action against the horse deal
er for 500 francs damages for non-ex-
eeution of his contract.

Ridiculous Canton.

Parisians extract amusement from
everything that happens to them, no
matter how terrible. Recently, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, they Were much
agitated and excited by explosions of
dynamite, brought about by anarchists;
but, in the midst of their alarm and in
dignation, they found time to make a
great many jokes about their dangers.
One writer, for instance, demanded
that law should be passed providing
for the arrest and Imprisonment of all
wives who were suspected of an inten-
ton to blow up their husbands.
The proprietor of large lodging
house amused the public with the fol-
lowing sign above the entrance of his
establishment:
"No cabinet ministers or magistrates
allowed on these premises"
This notice derived its point from the
fact that the wrath of the anarchists
was supposed to be directed toward
these officials.
One journal states that a tenor ap-
piled to manager for employment,
and sang two or three songs to show
what he could do.
"Iou sing very well-very well, 1"
said the manager, "but-"
''But what, sir?"
'Well, you see, your style is rather
explosive, and at the present time your
audience would be apt to take alarm. :"

Queen Victoria's Throne.

The throne of England, so splendid
in its rich trappings Of silk, velvet and
gold-wire lace and tassels, is simply an
old-fashioned, high-backed chair. 1t
has been in Use for more than 600 years,
but the early history of the old oaken
relic and the name of its maker are
both unknown. The wood which COM
poses this 'throne" is very hard and
solid, as may be imagined when il Is
known that the chair has been kept
i'm the dry" and we'll covered with rich
cloth of various kinds since the DAYS of
Edward /. The back and sides of the
chair We're formerly painted in various
cJlors. The seat is made of rough
sandstone. This stone, which is believ-
ed To possess talismanic powers, is 35
inches in length, IL inches i'm breadth,
and 49, inches in thickness. Number
less legends are told in connection with
this wonderful stone, but the truth
probably is that il was originally used
in Scotland as coronation stone
upon which the Scottish kings were
seated while undergoing the ceremon-
les connected with being crowned
''king of the realm of Scotland"

Ancient FloYers.

The Oldest herhIriIm in the world
i doubtless that of the Museum of
EyyptOIogy nj CIiro. I; consists Of a
large number Of crowns, gariands,
wreaths and bouquets of flowers co..
lected, one and all, from the ancient
Egyptian tombs, most OF them being
preserved i'm excellent condition. Some
flowers were better protected than
Others, and in spite OF their extreme
delicacy have retained the original col
ors in an astonishing manner. B.os-
sons from the watermelon plant, for
instance, show after being Immersed
in water, that they still plssess the
green colOring matter. This should
certainly seem surprising since most of
the sarcophagi dated back > centuries
Il. e. Ii is, however, very difficult 70
state the precise age of the flowers cor
rectiy, since in many eases the tOmbs
had been opened by the ancient Egypt
ians themselves, and it is almost I'M
possible to know whether the flowers
found in them belong to the period of
Ahmes /, or Ramesis III. At any rate
they can not be less than three thou
sand years old, while the Oldest col
lection Of flowers and herbs i'm Europe
is hardly four hundred years Old.
Among the plants of the Cairo eollee-
ton are found blue and white Lotus
flowers, red poppy blossoms, the
Oriental larkspur, the holly-hOck, sew.
eral species of chrysanthemums, th'
pomegranate, leaves from the willow
and celery, and several other species o
flowers, Of which we also hear in the
