LATEST THING IN PoRTJ IT'S.

An Englishwoman with her eyes about
her. taking in her first impressions OF
American life, believes there is no end,
not only TO the richness, but exceeding
ingenuity, with which the average Amer

this colored crystal is novel idea to
the Englishwoman's mind: but she ad-
nits it is an interesting variation on the
ueual oil painting, though quite as ex-
oensive. She who would be done in
glass gives regular sittings to designer,
and wears for the occasion the richest
of her gowns, with colored jewels. He

in water colors, which is initiated in
heavy cathedral glass, tone for tone.
Only the face and flesh tints are painted
on the crystal, to get them quite exact,
and the result is splendid to a degree.

EARLY CLOSING.
Movement TO Close the Stores at Seven
O'clock.

As matters now are some OF the
merchants close their stores in the even
ing at one hour and some at another.
shoppers never know just when n GER
tain store will be locked against them,
and Clerks are obliged to stay all kinds
OF hours. In large cities II is the custom
to close all stores at 6 o'clock. The pub
iic knows that shopping must be done
prior to that hour and clerks are enabled
10 have their evenings for recreation.
movement was started yesterday by
the principal merchants OF Astoria to es-
tablish the rule by mutual agreement TO
close all stores at o'clock in the even
ing until the first OF April. II Is the
dun season now, and nothing is gained
by keeping stores open until late hour.
The public would prefer to do its buying
within prescribed hours which are unit
form, and It Is certainly due to hard
working clerks to give them a few hours
rest

How to Kill a Newspaper.

Just let your subscription go. Its
only dollar or two-the publisher
don't need it. If he asks you for it,,
just get as mad as you can and tell him
to stop the paper-you never read it
anyhow. Then go and borrow your
neighbours. When the reporter comes
around always be busy. Make him
feel as if he was intruding. When the
advertising or job man comes, tell him
you don't need to advertise, everybody
knows you; that you will try and get
along without any printed stationery
it's too expensive; you must economize.
Never drop in to see the editor unless
you want free complimentary notice or
a lengthy obituary for beloved rela-
tive. Never recommend the paper to
anybody. When you speak of it say
Eyes we have little sheet but it don't
amount to much" Keep it up year
or two and you will have dead news
paper, a dead set of merchants and a
dead town.-Er.
We believe that the steady growth
and increasing popularity ofour beauti-
full little city is largely due to the fact
that, to considerable extent, the con-
trary of the above is true in DEBORAH.
The majority of our citizens are wide
awake and progressive enough to
realize that the better the support and
the higher the standard Of its news
papers is, the greater will be the repu-
tation of the city at home and abroad.

A New Apparatus.

DR.. F. w. Conover, of this city, has
a new electrical appliance which, no
doubt, is destined to revolutionize the
operating of dentistry. 1t is an appli-
ance for destroying all pain while oper-
ating upon a tooth. An electric cur
rent forces the anesthetic through the
tooth and enables the dentist to work
upon it without any pain whatever
to the patient. He has thoroughly
tested this and has a number patients
who are glad to testify to it's efficiency
and he will be glad to explain its oper-
alton to any who desire it. While the
appliance is comparatively new in this
section of the country it is not an ex-
pertinent, and has been fully tested in
all sorts of cases in which it is applica-

Mckinley, Protection and Prosperity

Just at this time there is great mean
ing and future conveyed to the peo-
pie of the United States and hope to
their mutual advantage and their flu
ture welfare. The future is what we
must look to not the past. To our best
business interest and our families pro-
lection. The Banker, Merchant,
Farmer and laborer cannot protect his
family in any better way than to secure
a policy in the old original Bankers
Life of Des Moines. This company is
conceded to be the best and cheapest
mutual company in the world. Just
think of it. A man forty years old
can carry $1,000 policy payable at
death for the average low cost of &c
day, but during the past ten years
the cost has been even less than this.
We claim solid protection at the low
est minimum cost, not investment.
Protect your family interests now.
