A INDUSTRIOUS WoMAN.-Mrs. Their
esa Cordosa died few days ago in
San Francisco, who was so large and
so heavy that her demise is the subject
of comment all over the country. She
weighed over 600 pounds, and the dis
patches state that the undertakes had
to break down the stairs of her late
residence in order to lower the body
into the hall. A special casket bound
with iron was constructed for the re-
mains, and as it was too large for a
hearse it was taken to the cemetery in
a heavy express wagon. Mrs. Cardoza
has been married twice, and leaves five
children, the youngest being is
months old.

Judge Aver very properly decides
that the holding OF the Republican
city convention in the Superior court
room, tonight, must not be construed
into a precedent for its use for politi-
cal meetings. As the Republican
committee had had the check" to
announce the use Of the courtroom
and a change might have Il demora-
lizing effect upon IN organization that
merits the sympathy that is generally
accorded a fallen foe, and Columbia
hall had been secured for the same
date by their political opponents, the
Judge has asscnted to its use, for this
once, and gives the following excellent
reasons why such privilege will not
be accorded hereafter:
Hon ALLEN WEIR, CITY:
DEAR SIR: | notice in tO-night's pa
per call signed by you for political
meeting to be held in the court room.
1t is the duty of the county to furnish
each county officer and also the court
with proper rooms for the transaction of
the county business. Each officer then
becomes charged with the care of such
rooms and the property therein. Thurs
ton county has at great expense fur
nished its court room and supplied it
with light and heat. Its furniture and
carpets are not such as are found in gem
eral halls Valuable books and often
papers are left on the desks and tables,
and the room is kept locked except dur
ing office hours.
Olympia is well supplied with public
halls suitable for public meetings. l be.
lieve that under the circumstances the
court room ought not to be used except
for court purposes and perhaps in gen.
eral public matters where the whole
county is interested. ! notice that Co
lumbia hall is to be occupied the same
evening so presume change in your
program, may not be convenient; if so
the court room will be at your disposal
at the time set. This, however, must
not be taken by anyone as precedent,
as the use of the court room will in the
future be confined to the objects above
indicated.
Yours very truly,
CHAs. ii. AVER.

None hut Ayers at the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepara-
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
of physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say It is. millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailiag friend, and you
will say it is.

Miss Fiji Potter, daughter Of the
noted actress, Mrs. Cora Urquhart
Potter, lately made her debut at
Tuxedo, N. Y. She will be the local
belle of the season. She is very much
like her mother, say the newspapers,
only handsomer. She does not cultivate
the careless style of dressing or the
Southern laisses aller, which was at
tractive to many in her mother. She
is clever and remarkably self-possessed
With her golden-tinted auburn hair
and glorious eyes, she was poetic

The unwilling of the Whitman

large concourse of people from this

THE proceedings in the Austrian
House OF Deputies, on Thanksgiving

ton is the enforcement of an ordi.

A SENSATIONAL murder trial is
drawing to close in New York city.
The murder of William Guldensuppe
has for several weeks past been the
subject of display headings in Eastern
papers. Martin Thorne has been
found guilty and will take a seat in
the electric chair soon, for Eastern
people do not monkey" with the law
as the California lawyers have done.
Mrs. Mack, an accessory to the crime
awaits trial, with fair prospect of a
long or life term in the penitentiary.

A LIGHT famine is reported in Daw.

came over the Dalton trail, and arrived,
this week, in Portland, informs the
Oregonian that box of candles had

$500. Still it must be borne in mind
that it is no more trouble to pay
those prices there than to dig up a
dollar or two within the bounds of

Statistics show that from OctOicr
10 to November 10, there have been
nine deaths resulting from casualties
at various foot-tall games played in
the Atlantic, Middle and Western
Statc>; the time intervening between
the Two above mentioned dates having
been recognized hy Il sort OF common
consent IL the official foot ball season.
PENNSYLVANIA is the worst sufferer;
that degenerate state OF noble line
age having contributed six victims
to these more brutal encounters than
ever disgraccd the COLISEUM ut Rome,
during the palmicst days OF the
gladia:orS New York, New jersey
and Georgia contributed the remain
ing three victims. The dominant
causes of these deaths are nonchalant-
IL listed about as follows: Fractured
skulls, broken nccks, congestion OF
the lungs, internal injuries, kicks in
the stomach, and ovcrhcating the
system. BY actual court these fatali
ties exceed the deaths resulting in a
similar space OF time, from all the
balloon asccnsions, prize fights and
lynchings in the United States, with
the bull fights OF Spain and Mexico
included. Besides the above deaths,
many able-bodied men and even
young boys have been made miserable
cripples for life through lesser casual
ties, such as broken and twisted noses,
torn ears, gouged-out eyes, dislocated
joints of the upper and lower extrem-
tiles, incurable rupture, besides long
array of other mishaps too disgusting
to repeat. And yet this brutal game
is fast becoming one of the acknowl-
edged features of a college curriculum.

sion that the Chinook word "cultus"
did in the olden times in this State,
when the patois was about an equal
admixture of English and jargon.
You might exhaust the English vo-
cabulary in an endeavor to portray
the moral turpitude OF human being,
but better idea of abject worthless

ing he was "cultus." Klondike," as
noun or adjective, is now on the
crest-wave of popularity in business
