The steamer Eugene came down on

very large freight for Providence,
among which was several crates OF
cabbages, several barrels and sacks OF

boat TO do except 10 carry The freight
down the river; but at Wilton and

etchings, steel engravings and pastels
which hang on the walls and rest on
easels, are beautiful and show that
among the committee were artists.
Over the stairway is circular win
dow showing the club emblem. 1t is
handsome design made by Mr.. Neer of
Portland.
The club may well feel proud of its
new home, and that it does was evinced
by the smiling and satisfed countenan-
ces of its mem oers as they wed with one
another Saturday night in looking after
their guests. Between 500 and 900 peo-
Pile were in the rooms and yet they were
not crowded, and every one of the entire
number wore an 81 'I'm-awful- glad-I-came
smile that remained with them the en-
tire evening.
The rooms were tastefully decorated
the inches in the stairway containing
some beautiful palms, and the center ta-
BILE in the reception room another, all
furnished by the Stubling greenhouse.
The parlor and library were redolent of
roses and bright with well-placed masses
of chrysanthemums.
The Dalles Orchestra furnished de-
| lightful music, that made many a foot
| feminine tap the carpets occasionally in
the desire to whirl around the spacious
rooms. The mandolin band, new-com-
ers, also furnished some delightful in
strumental music, supplemented by a
song that caused an encore that would
not be quieted until it was followed by
three or four more.
The alleys were kept warm the entire
evening, the ladies evincing keen lik-
ing for that amusement. It was nearly
midnight before any got up courage
enough to leave, and only the fact thai
Sunday morning was at hand kept many
from staying later.

Grand Reception Saturday Night at the
New Rooms.

Saturday was busy day for members
of The Dalles Commercial and Athletic
Club. the various committees being en-
gagged in putting the new rooms in shape
for the reception of the invited guests,
and when the lights were turned on it
was evident that the right people had
been selected for the work
Though the most representative gath
ering of Dalles people to the number of
at least 500 were there. and saw for
themselves the beautiful rooms, we can
not forbear a description of them, yet
we feel the task is beyond the power of
our pen. The entrance is under a mas
Isive portico, the doors being of hand
some bird's-eye sugar pine and opening
into small ante room. From this the
entrance is made into the gymnasium
and bowling alleys, where tour fine dou-
bic maple alleys invite those who love
the sport to roll a game or two. The
Igymnasium is to the left of the entrance,
and is, or will be, thoroughly equipped.
VA fine horizontal bar, parallel bars,
dumb bells, Indian clubs, punching bag,
boxing gloves, and dozens of other
things pertaining to gymnastic exercises
being already on hand.
From the lower floor broad stairway
with landing, leads to the club rooms
proper. The rooms are all carpeted
with velvet and tapestry carpets, that on
the stairs matching that of the recep-
ton room, and being green figure on q
light background. The hall, stairway
and reception room are all finished in
terra Gotta shades, giving them a warm
and cheerful tone.
The parlors are to the left of the re
ception room, and are spacious and ele,
gantly furnished. The paper is red

Saturday evening Mr.. G. D. Snowden
received a telegram announcing the
death of his youngest sister, Mary, at
their home in Tacoma. He left on the
early train Yesterday to attend the
funeral. The young lady had not been
in the best OF health for some time, but
her final illness lasted but three days.
Many will remember her as having vis-
tied her brother here two years ago,
when all who met her were won by her
sweet, innocent manner.
According to the dispatch in the-0re-

rich gold find has been made by Lewis
Woods, come where in the Mt. Adams
country. The figures given are 100000

about $500,00 to the ton, it will be seen
tLat this exceeds anything found on the
Klondike, as the find is worth 100000
ton more than pure gold. The story
indicates that our friend Maddox still
occasionally gathers news for the Ore
gonian.

was general Finally the Partisan drop

turning to the other passengers, with
wink toward the sleeping man, said In
an undertone, TN play good joke ON

by which a small travelling bag was
slung over the shoulder of the sleeper.
I'll change into the next compartment
at the first stop. and my uncle will
wake up and think he has been robbed.

others grinned approximately. and the

Life In olaan England.

In his youth Augustus ]. G. Hare
lived with his adopted parents at rec
tory in Shropshire, and of the life there
he gives some picturesque details In the
story of his life:
When there was "a wash" ut Stoke.
which was about every three weeks, it
was a rule with granny that, summer
or winter. it must always begin ut / a.
IN. AT that hour old Hannah Berry used
70 arrive from the village, the coppers
were heated and the maids at work.
The ladies maids, who were expected to
do all the fine muslins, ETC., themselves
had also always to be at the washtubs
at 3 a. m.-by candlelight. If any one
was late, the housekeeper reported to
Mrs. LEICESTER, who was soon down
upon them pretty sharply. Generally,
however, hor real practical kindness and
generosity prevented any one minding
Mrs. Leycestor's severity. 1t was looked
upon as only 'her way" for people
were not so tender in those days as they
are now, and certainly no servants would
have thought of giving up a place which
was essentially good one because they
were little roughly handled by their
mistress. In those days servants were as
liable 10 personal chastisement as the
children Of the house and would as little
thought of reseuting it. You don {
suppose I'm going to hurt my hand box
ing your ears, said granny when about
TO chastise the school children sho was
teaching and she would take up boOi;
| from the table and use it soundly, and
then say. Nov we mustn't let the 9th
er ear be jealous, and turn the child
round and lay on again on the Other
side Granny constantly boxed bel
housemaids' ears, and, alas, when he
grew very old, she used to box deal
grandpapa's, though she loved him dear
ly, the great source of offense being thai
he would sometimes slyly give the serv
ants elbow tip when his daily table
spoonful of brandy was being poured
out.

Nourishing Gruels.

Nourishing gruels are always in de-
mand for delicate persons as well as in
valids Those most called for are Of In
dian meal or oatmeal. For oatmeal
cruel put into pan over the fire a
quart of boiling water, add to it table
spoonfuls of oatmeal by sitting it in
slowly between the fingers, stirring all
the while. When well mixed cover the
saucepan and place it at the back of the
fire, where it will simmer for two hours.
Season with salt enough to make it pal
atable and sweeten it if desired. Strain
it through medium fine sieve. To
small teacup two-thirds full of this hot
Cruel add teaspoonful Of cream when
serving it to an invalid. Indian meal
Cruel is made by mixing 2 level table
spoonfuls of meal with half a spoonful
of -four, stirring into the dry ingredients
half cup of cold water before mixing
them with a quart of boiling water.
Let this mixture cook slowly at the
back of the fire two hours, stirring 1T
occasionally to prevent its sticking to
the bottom of the pan, season generous
ly with salt, very little sugar and a
suspicion of nutmeg. This Cruel should
also be served with cream, like the oat-
meal Cruel. Chicago Times Herald.

Detrothals In Holland.

In certain parts OF Holland when a
Young man thinks he loves girl, he
asks her for match to light his cigar
at the door of the beloved ones home.
This is done to let the parents know
that something is intended, and If the
visit is repeated and the same thing &C.
curs no doubt is left in the minds OF
the girls parents, and they immediate
" proceed to investigate the young
mans character and antecedents. When
he calls third time, they are prepared
to give him all answer. If his suit is
looked upon favorably, he is given a
match. If refused, he produces his own
match, lights his cigar and walks away.
II a favorable answer is given, he steps
forward and joins hands with the girl
While the engagement is by no means q
settled fact even at this important
stage. it is stated as truth that If, on
the occasion of the young mans third
visit, his ;namorata offers him second
cigar and he smokes it in the house the
engagement is never canceled.-Godey s
