the fall term Of court. Since the cor roncr's
inquest States Attorney Posey has Sc
cured additional information tending to
fasten the guilt Of the crime upon Matthews.
The evidence has been all circuInstantial.
and was not as strong as was expected at
the time of the hearing before the core

1t will be remembered that Irwin was
killed by a gunshot wound in tie head
The gun was placed SO close to the head Of
Ihe victim that the paper wadding. instead

1t was piece Of Populist newspaper,

against Matthews, upon whose Person was
found scrap of paper closely resembling
that from which the wad was made. AT
Matthew'S shanty was found a gun with
saper wadding of the same kind as in the
Indischarged barrel of the wad with
which the deed was committed.
States Attorney Posey secured these
,ieces. and after considerable work placed

M Guy RiGNALT' a lawyer of Paris,
~ /. who Is stopping at the National,
tells of an interesting decision
recently rendered by Parisian judge
which threatens the life OF hattiIne -honored
French theatrical institution. the claque.
This is body OF persUns paid o attend the
theaters and applaud whenever the signal
is gwen by the leader.
The decision was rendered in a case
where tie leader of the claque is one of the
theaters brought suit against 4 managcr
for rreach of contract. The Judge awartied
the suit TO the manager. on the grounds
that such contract is unlawful; that paid
applause is in opposition tn good manners
and public order, and is like:y TO give risr
TO disturbances. Moreover. it was ruled
that the claque hinders the expression of
public opinion. and destroys the liberty OF
the paying public. " '
such strong Judicial IcoDdemnatIonIs very
likely to set public opinion against the
c!nque and probably presages It's entire
extinction
At present, says Mr. Rigpalt. every thea
ter in Paris and most of those OF tie
provinces have tEeir own claques. If the
custom should pass away a large number
of persons who now earn their living IN
means of sustenance.
American and English tourists generally
VIII welcome the change, as they have
always condemned The claque as antique
and senseless. Ofteut mes the most vigorous
applause is given at what is obviously tie
weakest point n a play.

auspicious for such a reunion. ALL section
al feeling ensendercd by the passions Of tn e
great struggle has happily disappea red:
sectional lines no. longer effect mems opin-

North and the South has been entirely oblit-

aloof from the Yankee, and the spectacle
is even presented of n former Union gen

IL such Il reunion is to be held it cannot
be too soon, for the ranks of the old SOL

,,fTis news to most peop

uf T is news to most people" said Carton
z. wilson, q lawyer Of Portland, Ore,
at the Arlington, Ito learn that the
Columbia river has three names. Two OF
them, however. are known only locally.
when the first settlers arrived they found
the Indians called the river oregon, after
the tribes who lived on the banks, and adopt
ed the appellaiion. 1t is still called so by
some Of their descendants.
1.-THE name oregon, according to Whit
ney. the philologist. means big ear or, the
one with the large ears. and was given to
these particular Indians because OF their
custom of enlarging their ears by piercing
them in many places and filling the incis-
ions with ornaments.
The river was next called the St. Rogue
by some Jesuit priests, and as st. Rogue,
/ believe, it is still known in Jesuit rec
ords. Finally, when Robert Gray, in 1892,
explored the river, lie ignored the claims
of the two previous names, calling tie body
of water after his vessel, the Columbia.
Curiously enough, this last name stuck, and
became official, while the other twoa un-

ceedingly for they thought
that TIE day of their de-
liveraDcc had come at last, and the garbage

over this crcmatory or that one was finally
agreed upon, and in course Of time started
into action. THEN it was discovered that

Commissioners, contractor and crematory
owner, and the result was decision to have
another furnace built in anotherpart of the
city. Now comes the climax. The South
Capitol street furnace has ceased opera
tons indefinitely from some mysterious
cause, aud tho whole output OF city garbage
will have TO be shipped by scow-until fur
ther Uotice.
Instead Of progressing the city has re
trugraded in this particular branch of sani-
tatiun, and il is all owing to the miserable
system Of doing municipal work by con
tract. II the collection and disposal-of gar

held to the obligations Of his agreement,
hut never is. He has given bond for the
faithful discharge OF the duties assumed
by him by virtue Of his contract, and not
only should he be paid at the rate agreed
upon for collection and cremation, but he
should bc sued upon his bond for non-fnl-
fillmeut-of., contract. There has been al
together too much leniency.
