1t is said that Miss Belle Archer. in
Hoyt's "A Contented Woman" has found
a part so thoroughly %congenial to her that
she has achieved success with but little
effort. Her performance of the new
woman" in Hoyts creation has met with
much praise. In appearance she is peculiar
ly adapted to the 'contented woman" and
it is said she plays the character with ad-
mirable abandon and subtIety.
"A Contented Woman will be the at
traction at the Grand opera house next
week. beginning with the usual Sunday
matinee. The piece has been greatly i'm
proved since its last presentation here. and

The committee of the Commercial
Club to whom the matter of raising
funds with which to purchase q
diamond drill to be used in prospecting
for coal, have completed their labors,
having secured subscriptions to the
amount of $500, which was the amount
asked by T. L. Nicholas and others,
who are experimenting the prospect.
The list will be placed in the hands of
the treasurer of the club within a few
days, to be collected and turned over
to Mr.. Nichols who will order the drill
at once and expects to begin operations
on the prospect by the middle of March.
The members of the committee and
also Mir. Nicholas are highly pleased
with the enterprise shown by The
Dalles in taking hold of this matter,
and expect good results therefrom.
Mr.. Nichols is an expert coal miner,
and is confident that vein of good
coal will be discovered within few
hundred feet below the bottom of the
hole he has already sunk. Should his
expectations be realized the future of
The Dalles will be settled, for a coal
mine near this city will make of it the
principal manufacturing center Of the
Northwest.

Taking Mems Places.

The British government has decided
to remit the customary tax on certain
dogs employed upon the south coast of
Devon. These animals perform the
work of swimming out to sea and
catching hold of the rope thrown from
the fshermen's boats. They bring the
line ashore, and thus enable the people
who are waiting on the beach to pull
the boat through the surf. The work
is very RISKY, and the shore is so rocky
that the fishermen would be utterly
unable to get their boats in without
the aid of the dogs, which are trained
for the purpose. Everybody is ready
to acknowledge with profound admira-
tion the intelligence, the faithfulness
and the zeal of the collie; but these
Devonshire dogs certainly run the
shepherds servant and friend very
close. To place such hard-working and
useful members of the community on q
par for fiscal purposes with the toy ter
rier, the poodle or the pug would be
both blunder and q crime

is gaining the reputation of being one
of the leading social orders of the city,
its entertainments always meeting
with good success, and the social last
Saturday evening added new glory to
the reputation of the lodge. Besides a
majority of the members of the lodge,
there were present large number of
guests, and the evenings entertain
ment fully repaid them for their pres
euce. The program as published was
rendered in full and in a most pleasing
and able manner. After the program,
q new and novel entertainment was in
troduced that afforded abundant amuse-
ment. 1t consisted of weighing con-
test, in which the weight of each lady
was taken, aud her partner, who was
found by numbers, was required to
purchase her at the price of one-fourth
cent per pound of her weight. The
evening was passed most pleasantly by
all present, and the social was pro-
success in every respect.

4 Boarding House Keeper Lets Light on

A very successful boarding house
keeper was telling writer for the New
York Recorder some secrets of her good
fortune.
"Above ALL" said she, 81 try to keep
every part of my two houses just as
clean as 1 possibly can, but I am not
the only one in this business who does
that, though it's great point. Then
have always hired large houses. You
cannot possibly make money in a small
one. have clung to neighborhood
and made my house distinctive by hav-
ing at some expense vines trained from
basement to roof. Those vines are my
trademark. When folks forget the
number they say the house with the
vines Moreover, they give the place
such a shady, cool look in summer that
people are not SO anxious to get off to
the country. The green effect takes
away the hot, stuffy look, and some
thing of the feeling. Then make
point of being very liberal with towels
and napkins. This item costs me per-
haps twenty-five dollars more in a year
than it would the usual boarding house
keeper in my place but it brings me in
the outlay multiplied many times. OF
course set as good q table as l can,
and my rooms are well furnished, but
as good as can be had elsewhere. My
luck in letting rooms I-have always be-
ieved to be due to the fact that have
a piano in nearly every large apart
ment. 1t is really odd to see how a
piano will attract a person. Why,
can get five or six dollars more week
for a suite with a piano, which doesn't
cost that much a month. If people
don't want the instrument, it can be
moved out. One other point: Iuse the
same kind of carpet in every room in
the house as far as can,'so when it
wears shabby, all the good may be
brought together and made use of.

lastly, 1 have no helpless, lazy relatives
such as usually cripple woman in my
line, eating her out of house and home
and disgruntling the boardcrs. If
had, 1 think should provide for them

room is generally worth more than
their company, or their half-hearted at

WILL WITH A TIME LOCK.
Odd Testamentary Freak of an Eccentric
Polish Land Owner.

IeSCAmenGary FREAK OF an eccentric
Polish Land Owner.
The contents of most eccentric will,
left by NJ. ZaleslSy, rich Polish landed
proprietor, who died in the province of
Taurida in March, 1889, were recently
published, says the London Telegraph.
The property left by the deceased
was valued at seventy-five thousand
dollars, and his will was inclosed in an
envelope bearing the words: ITO be
opened after my death" On this en-
velope being opened, the executor
found sealed envelope, on which was
written: ITO be opened six weeks
after my death" The stipulated time
having elapsed, the second envelope
was opened and third was found
with the words: ITO be opened n year
after my death" At the end of the
year fourth envelope was discovered
which was to be opened two years after
the death of the deceased.
This continued for five years, and
when, at length, ia 1894, the actual will
was read, it was found to be as eccen-
tric in its dispositions as in the direc-
tions attaching to its opening. The
testator bequeathed half of his fortune
to such one of his heirs as has the
greatest number of children. The rest
of mis- money he directed to be placed
in bank, and at the end of one hun
dreI years, distributed, with the ac-
cumulated interest, among the de-
sccndants of the testator.
The heirs of the deceased, however,
have taken proceedings to test the
legality of the will, on the ground that

of the people of the United States that
all men are created equal: that they
