Until then he is not inclined to do much

East Portland, Or, boasts of one of the
prettiest Marearettes in the land. This
sweet little girl is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. n. Schnider of 2S2 Crosby street, East
Portland Or. AS you see her in this pic
ture you see her in the flesh. Her cheeks
are plump, her eyes bright, and there is
color N her cheeks. There is not mark,
a blot or blemish to spoil the beautiful
contour of the face. The reason is given
that she has been using joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. Marguerite sends her love
to California, and tells of her delight with
Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla.
Marguerite is winsome, bright, and Is
easily the prettiest Marguerite in the coun-
try. / spoke to her father. His place of
business is at 33 Fourth street, Portland.
HE came out of his Office especially to tell
me of the great good joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla had done for the family. 1T is,"
said he, ''the family medicine now, and
we propose always to keep this remedy in
the house." He advised me to visit many
other houses in Portland and l would
learn of wonderful things that had been
done by Joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla. He
said he knew of q case of scrofula that was
completely cured by this great blood med.
icine.
BY the way, remarkable thing in Port
land is that there are no substitutes here.
People are not putting up something lust
as good" and of course when you ask for
joys Vegetable Sarsaparila you get it
without a murmur. The truth is they are
not cutting the price, and druggists make
q rational profit, therefore do not feel in
cl:ned to cheat people. 1t is good idea
to publish this letter as written.

THE FLAGLESS NICARAGUA
Her Commission and License
Revoked by a Central Amer
ican Government.
The Merging of Nicaragua Into the
Greater R public Causes Al
the Trouble.

Captain Mcintyre, the genial captain of
the big steam collier Costa Rica, is IN the
peculiar position of shipmast without
flag to fly at his masthead-almost "a
msn without county,"
For long time past the Costa Rica has
piled between this port and Nanaimo
bringing in her heavy burdens of coal
and flying the flag of Nicaragua, the little
Central American re public, principally
noted for revolutions and an extremely
torrid climate.
Why the steamer should carry the name
of one revolutionary State and the flag of
another, has never been explained salts
factorily, but the vessel prospe-ed never
theless.
Some time ago the heads of three of the
little Central American States-Honduras
Salvador and Nicaragua-joined issues tor
mutual advancement and prosperity, and
the Greater Republic of Central America
was the result.
One of the first acts of the new Govern.
ment was TO revoke all of the commissions
that had existed under the regimes of the
minor repu bics.
Nicaragua lost his position, as did Consul
John I. Wright of Honduras and Consul
DIR. Eustorgio Calderon OF Salvador. Then
the latter was appointed Consul for the
Greater Republic, with full power TO look
after its interests in this City.
In addition TO deposing the Consuls the
new Government revok d the licenses and
commissions of all vessels sailing under
the separate flags of the three States, and
moreover decided that for the present at
least the flag of the new Government
should fly over no ships except the war
vessels belonging to the allied Govern
ments.
Thus it was that Captain Mcintyre

park would be supplied on and after next

A communication was received from ex-
Mayor Sutro, expressing his opposition to
the location of the Pesthouse on the Aims
house land.
Daniel Foley reported that it was the in
tention or the Supervisors to stop all street
Improvements on the south side of the
park until a proper system OF sewerage
could be installed.
The ques ton of having electric lights
placed in Golden Gate Park was discussed
at length, but no definite action was
taken as the Park Commissioners are con-

for that purpose.

when he is alleged to have been in Notary
Cooney's Office.
The witness said that on Septem Der 81
1894, Senator Fair attended meeting OF

being in the afternoon. The witness had
his minute-book with him, and from this
he read that the following were present at
the meeting:
James D. Phelan, first vice-president, in
the chair; James G. Fair, s. G. Murphy,
John A. Hooper, c. G. Hooper, Frank j.

FIRES AND FALSE ALARMS.
They Kept the Department Busy fol-
Several Hours

They Kept the Department Busy for
Several Hours.
Four false alarms and two small fires
kept the department busy for few hours
last evening. The first alarm was from
box 147 at 1925 o'clock, and an investiga-
ton proved it to be false. The second,
from box 70, at sos clock, was also a
bogus alarm. Box 60, at 8 O'Clock, and
box 63, at 9:06 o'clock, also proved to be
false alarms.
After Chief Sullivan had raced to the
four boxes, he placed two men in hiding
in the vicinity OF each of the boxes south
of Market street in the hope of detecting
those who were causing the department
so much trouble. The attempt, however,
proved unsuccessful.
An alarm was sounded from box rs at
9:10 o'clock for a fire in the rear of a
dwelling occupied by DR.. T. Leonard,
1910 Howard street. The cause of the fire,
which damaged the building to the ex-
tent OF 800, was unknown.
The alarm from SO at los was a small
hay fire on wharf X at the foot of Third
street. The damage vas slight.

A TUG-0F-WAR SCHEME.
How Some of the Sailor Lads Were
Trapped by Trained Athletes
on the Water Front.

An exciting affair occurred at the new
ferry building yesterday morning. A
number of brawny longshoremen and
sailors were discussing the tug-of- war
tournament in which several of their
number are to participate, at the corner
of Market and East streets. As the dis.
cussion became quite heated regarding
the muscular merits OF each team a by
stander, who had not entered the discus
sion, said he could produce four men
within half an hour who could "outpuli
anything on the water front"
At first he was thought to be some
meddlesome idler parading a large sized
bluff, but when he offered couple of
shining twenties to back his assertion the
crowd was convinced of his sincerity and
Immediately commenced caayassing for
men ana money" to capture the alleged
good thing. After nearly an hours lii
gent search quartet of hercuiean can
didates Tor muscular honors were re-
cruited, and the requisite $40 being posted
the unknown pluneer covered it and
fastened away to rally his contingent OF
rope-pullers.
He returned punctually at the hour
agreed for Ill A. M and it was hastily de-
cided that the contestants try conclusions
on the steel cable used on one OF the der
ricks to hoist material at the new ferry
depot. Permission being granted, the
men took up about 100 feet of the slack
cable 10 the third floor, and having impro
vised cleats on some wide two-inch blanks
they grasped their respective ends. The
tug was even for about two and a half
minutes, then the rope began 10 travel
toward the unknowns' side slowly and
with aggravating precision till with one
mighty effort the opposing team was
pulled over the cleats like powders de-
scending a mountain side.
The referee handed the winners their
money and it was then for the first time
learned that they had gone up against four
of the best men of the Irish team under
Captain James Hardned, who are en-
tered for the big tug-of-war tournament
at the Mechanics Pavilion.

along the center of the street and a gor-
geous demonstration was given in hopes
that it would cause a revival OF business.
The merchants still complain, however,
and say that business has decreased
almost 80 per cent during the past yeal.
Il meeting of the Sixth-street Improve
ment Club was called last stevening and the
situation was discussed at length. Mr..
Dohrmann, president or the Merchants
Association, suggested that if good streets
and better car service were desired, all
members of the club should keep the
matter constantly sgitated and before the
eyes OF the public.
NJ. Israel then moved that committee
of five be appointed to affiliate with a like
committee from the Merchants Associa-
tion to visit the Market-street Railway
Company and lay before it the PROPOSE
tion of laying an electric railway on Sixth
street. This motion carried, NJ. Israel, H
Wolf, Mr.. Farrell, II. Elsbach and G.
Merle were appointed as a committee.
The proposition of repaving the street was
also discussed, but no definite action in its
regard was taken.

Fitzsimmons is hot upon the trail of

that Fltzsimmons will never get into the

"I'Il cover his $1,000 whenever he wants

need not think he will have to pay ms to
get into the ring with Corbett, like he did
