a a1emorlal to Congress.

The committee of the Commercial
Club, consisting of Messrs. Bradshaw,
Mac Allister, Schanno, Laughlin and
Whealdon, met Saturday afternoon and
formulated the following memorial to 3
presented to the present congress at once /:
To-the Honorable Senate and House of Represen-
D. c., U. S. a.
Your memorialist, The Dalles Com
mercial Club, of The Dalles, state of
Oregon, through our senator's, Hon.
John II. Mitchell and George w. Nc
Bride and our representatives, Hon.
Binger Hermann and w. r. Ellis, re-
spectfullY represent that from the best
information we have been able to secure
the date of the opening of the cascade
locks of the Columbia river, to naviga-
ton, is still matter of doubt and un-
certainty.
Large agricultural, horticultural, wool,
lum Der and transportation interests are
involved, and we believe thousands of
dollars daily will be realized by the in
habitants OF the Columbia basin as soon
as this great work is made operative,
and the transportation companies can
depend on passing their steamboats,
from the lower to the middle Colum bia.
Therefore. your memorialist desire to
urge upon the attention of your honor
able body and pray that you will con-
slider favorably:
First, The urgent need of the appro-
priation OF $179 ,597. asked for by the
chief of engineers of the U. S. A..
whose report for 1895 says, "and can be
proftably expended in the fiscal year,
ending June 80, A. D., 1897 to con-
struct the walls between the fret and
second locks of the canal. and to protect
from the powerful force of the tails the
breaking OF the outer walls of the lock
by erosion.
Second: The Importance of continu-
ing an organized body of mechanics and
artisans, who can economically and ex-
peditiously complete the work, also the
expense of housing and replacing the
large plant required.
Third: The great loss to commerce
should the locks remain closed for an
other year by reason of few weeks de-
lay in making this appropriation for
which we will ever pray.

but we feel coneoled in the fact that
those who have witnessed our lives, to-
gether with our toll and effort during the
past nine years, will at least give us
credit for acting conscientiously and
disinterestedly, and for doing right be-
fore the Lord of our hearts. n
''We have repeatedly called upon al
of our troops to stand by the army, its
general and its principles. We do so
again. May Gods blessing rest upon
our country, the army, and all"
Partisans of Ballington Booth say that
the secret of his removal lies wholly in
the fact that he has succeeded in almost
completely Americanizing the Salvation
Army in this country. His methods
aroused the antagonism of little Eng
lish coterie headed by Colonel Edie, the
chief secretary, who came over from Eng
land one year ago. General Booth,
father of Ballington, and commander-in-
chief of tbs Salvation Army, did not
fancy the idea of the army in America
breaking away from the English prece-
dents, and was finally prevailedNupon to
order the withdrawal of Ballington
Booth.
According to a clause in the constitu-
ton of the army, the commander is alb
solute owner of all the real estate of the
organization. The building on West
Fourteenth street, completed within the
last year, represents nearly $500, ,OoO,
which is decided to the commander in
his own name

How She Spelled 1t.

Everyone knows how to spell ''hard
water" with three letters, but proba-
bly, some readers would be puzzled to
spell yesterday with six. A Cincin-
natl girl could tell them how, according
to the Enquirer.
She does not yet go to school, but is
taught by her neither at home. The
other night her father was hearing her
spell. One word after another was sue
cessfully disposed of, and then he said:
Now, Annie, am going to give you
a hard one. If you spell it correctly
I'll bring you some candy. How do
you spell yesterday?
1t was hard one. Annie thought of
the candy, and just then her eye caught
the calendar hanging against the wall.
Then she answered, with smile of tri-
umph: Fri, yester, day, day, yes
terday."

MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY
Two Sciences That Are closely Related
and Necessary to Each Other.

Two Sciences That Are Closely Related
and Necessary to Each Other.
Probably in none of the sciences, ap-
piled or pure, is a knowledge of higher
mathematics so essential as astron-
omy. Certainly none involves so much
mathematical labor. The method of
the least squares is one in almost con-
slant use by those engaged in astro-
nomical calculation, and the amount of
labor often entailed by this process is
enough to make the head of an ordi-
nary citizen swim even to think of.
One of the most extensive least square
solutions ever made, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch, has recently been pub
lished by Prof. Schur, of Goettingen.
The heliometric triangulations of the
stars in the cluster Praesepe (the Bee
hive) gave rise to a series of "a normal
equations, involving IA unknown guam
titles. The solution of this set of
quantities was effected by Prof. Schur
in ten weeks by means of the usual
Gaussian method of elimination. Prof
Schur comes to the conclusion that no
other method by successive approxi-
nations is to be compared to the
Gaussian method, even though it might
seem to promise a saving of labor in
advance. Prof. Schur mentions as the
longest least square solution he has
been able to find in astronomical liter
ature a geodetic adjustment made by
Baeyer, in which a set of normal equa-
tions with 68 unl1nowns was success
fully solved by the famous computer,
Dase, in three months.

The Old Fashioned Kind Has Been Sub
stituted BY Various Sirups.
"The old-fashioned molasses is rap
idly disappearing as an article of com.
merce," said prominent grocer, "and
in it's place have come a number OF
sirups, which are more costly and by
no means as satisfactory, especially to
the little ones, who delight, as we did
when we were young, in having 'las-
ses on their bread Most of the mo-
lasses goes into the distilleries, where
it is made into rum, for which, not
withstanding the efforts of our tenn
perance workers, the demand is con-
stantly on the increase, especially IN
the New England states and for the
export trade. The regular drinker OF
rum will take no other liquor in its
place if he can help it. 1t seems to
reach the spot more directly than any
other dram. The darker brown sugars
have also disappeared, and they are
never likely to return, owing to the
methods of boiling and the manufac-
ture. Granulated sugar is of the same
composition as far as saccharine quail
ties are concerned, as loaf, cut loaf,
cube and crush, and differs from them
only in that it's crystals do not cohere.
This is because it is constantly stirred
during the process of capitalization.
The lighter brown sugars taste sweeter
than the white, for the reason that
there is some molasses left in them.
"Housekeepers have difficulty these
days in finding coarse, dark sugars,
which are always preferred for use in
putting up sweet pickles, making cakes
and similar uses. AS they cannot get
brown sugar any more, it may be well
for them to remember that they can
simulate brown sugar by adding Ia
blespoonful of molasses to each quar-
ter of a pound of the white granula-
ted sugars. This combination does as
we'll in all household recipes that call
for brown sugar as the article itself,
and, besides, it saves them great deal
of hunting for brown sugar, which, as
said before, has disappear from the

UNCLE GEORGE TILLMAN.
The Crime of His Early Career and t

The Crime OF dis Early Career Snu Ino
Way He Expiated 1t In Jail.
From the New York Sun.
ROME, Ga, November 27.-Captain
B. F. Clark, resident of this city, was
in his younger days neighbor of the
noted Tillman family, ami knew both
BENJAMIN r. Tillman and his brother,
George Tillman, until recently mem
ber of congress from South Carolina.
George was by far the most promising
and is several years older than Ben.
"When he was young man in 1858,
l think" said Captain Clark, che was
candidate for the state senate. He
had served for several years in the low
er house, and when he offered himself
for the senate there was no man who
stood better chance of winning than
George Tillman. He was eloquent
and active, and had inspired in the
minds of the people of the district the
highest idea of his ability and integri-
ty, so that no one doubted that he
would be elected. He was stumping
the district, and during his tour he
stopped one night in the town where /
lived, and after supper started out for
little amusement.
"In that day and time, 1 am sorry
to say, gambling was considered one
of the ordinary vices of a gentleman,
and very little attention was paid to
the saloons where poker, roulette, faro
and other games were INDUCED in by
the young bloods of the country as a
fashionable sport. George Tillman
entered. a saloon and took seat at a
table and was soon absorbed in the
game. The play proceeded quietly
enough for a while, and then dispute
arose and hot words followed. The
dealer was directly opposite Tillman,
and held in his hand an ivory knife
used in putting up the counters.
"Tillman was very nearsighted, and
as the lie passed between him and the
dealer be saw the latter raise the
paper knife, and, mistaking it for a
bowie knife, drew his pistol and shot
the man dead. In the confusion that
followed he quietly slipped out of the
room, and, mounting his horse, rode
away at full speed. The man whom
be had killed was not thought much
of in the community, being regarded
as. rather a sorry citizen, and not
much effort was made to apprehend
Tillman, who soon found means to
get out of the country.
HE went to Nicaragua and served
with the ill-starred Walker in his ro-
mantle career in that country until af-
ter his downfall, when he went fur
ther south, visiting various South
American countries. Finally he went
to Cuba and fought with the Caban pa
triots, but when their efforts for free
dom ended in disaster, he decided to
return to the United States. He had
gone through so many hairbreadth es-
capes and thrilling adventures that he
grew weary of the wild life, and came
back to stand his trial and to trust his
fate to jury.
"His promising public career had
been suddenly cut short by that unfor-
tunate affair in the gambling saloon,
but he still had many friends in Edge
field who were willing to partially con-
