Oh vhame, Where Is Thy Blush.

The Paris Bazaar fire, aside from the
loss of life incident to it, is to be re-
GREETED rs having been the means of
bctraying the british instincts OF man
when put to the supreme test. 'Twcre
better the dclusi0n that mankind is
endowed with chivalric devotion to
the fair sex should continue, than that
a rude awakening fill the heart with
distrust and lessen its admiration of
deeds of self-abnPgation and true hero
ism.
The women who gave their testi-
mony, in the effort to ascertain the
origin of the catastrophe, before Paris
magistrate, are unanimous in the de-
claration that the conduct of the men
during the fiery ordeal was simply in
famous. The names of aristocratic
and titled towards were freely given,
who demonstrated that a desire for
their own safety outweighed all the
boosted impulses of gallantry which
have hitherto been SO freely accorded
to the seemingly ever-polite French
man. Everybody was, of course, ex-
cited, and the women, from their emo
tional nature, must have been nervous
and historical, but this does not ex-
cuse, even in the interest of personal
safety, the crushing down and walking
over those whom the Maker has de-
creed shall find her support in man.
One lady exhibited marks of blows
made by stick in the hands of man
intent upon his own safety; another
was struck so violently on the chest,
to clear the way, as to seriously wound
her; another was knocked down and
beaten when she attempted to rise;
another's hand was struck by walk
ing-stick while holding on to ladder
and all the fingers broken. This was
done by burly man to make her let
go and afford passage way for his
cowardly body to pass. Another
wretch struck women right and left,
as he fought his way out, but very
thoughtfully confined his assaults to
women.
1t is said that many of these aristo-
cratic towards are known, and that
they will be debarred from drawing
rooms hereafter. IT'S we'll. And there
can be but little doubt that the decree
will be rigidly enforced, when we con.
slider the estimate that wOmanhood
places upon true courage, and the in
nate contempt it has for anything
bordering upon cowardice.

Not an Iconoclast.

1t may he Of interest to those who
contemplate hearing Mrs. Annie Be-
SAINT, this evening, to know from her
own words that she is not lecturing
i'll the guise OF an iconoclast; nor is
she seeking to break up any Of the
cherished crccis or tcncts of anybody.
Her claims are that she is going about
doing good, i'll the footsteps of her re-
nowned predecessor, Mrs. BlavatSky.
The following short extract from
one of her lectures in Portland, sets
forth in few words and in II graphical
manner the real gist of the life-work
she has taken upon herself. Among
other things the talented speaker said,
We do not ask anyone to leave the
church or faith in which one has been
brought up. There is no need for it,
since at their base all faiths are
founded upon the sublime philosophy
OF the one true wisdom, religion. All
we are trying to do is to restore the
secret meaning of those teachings
which the wars and invasions of the
early centuries of the present era have
destroyed.
Remnants of these spiritual truths
still remained in the retreats of the
inhabitants of monasteries and other
places of seclusion, but when the ma
terialism of modern times begin to
threaten these scattered remnants and
the representatives OF the arts and
sciences dealt such blows to all spir-
ituality, the ancient wisdom was
brought to the world through Helena
Petrovna Blavatsky. She came again
to teach the ancient truths and draw
around her those whom she believed
to be prepared to take up the same
work after she would be gone"
Let liberal minded people ponder
these things.

An Ideal Resort.

Olympia may not possess the adj
vantages of traditional Gretna
Green, but it is becoming every day,
more and more, the acknowledged
ideal resort for picnicers, excursionists
and pleasure-seekers from all parts of
the upper and lower Sound.
The gentle slope of the original
TOWNSHIP towards the waterfront makes
it an easy matter to reach any and all
portions of the city whether the sight
seer is leisurely pursuing his way on
foot, in carriage, or on his bicycle.
Promptly upon the arrival of every
excursion train or steamer, the street
cars are on hand and in waiting to
carry the people to Tumwater, where
a couple of hours can be profitably
and pleasantly spent in roaming about
the park and viewing the natural
gifts and acquired attractions for
which that sprightly suburban town is
so noted. As was said of old, "Our
enemies being judges" the capital city
eclipses every other town on the
Sound for beautiful situations and de-
lightful surroundings.
1t is the common remark of many
who visit our city for the first time
that the half had not been told them,
and as they saunter through our
broad and well-shaded avenues, seat
themselves in Sylvester Park to chat
the while, or go spinning in the
street cars, they are bewildered by the
beautiful sights that confront them
on every side.
All in all, Olympia promises so
many of the essential elements of q
natural pleasure resort that all who
come here once are sure to count the
months and days when they may
come again.
Visitors are sure to note Olympia's
clearly streets, the affability of its
citizens and the general air of well
come and good-cheer extended to
them during their stay within its
charming borders. Conscious of all
this, it becomes everybody to make
it as pleasant as possible to those who
come hither to while away a delight
full afternoon and recuperate them
selves from the grinding cares of
business life.

GAN ALL-ROUND COOP FELLow."-
The N. Y. Sun, in its Washington let.
ter, thus alludes to one of our Repre-.
sentatives in Congress, Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis:
Mr.. Lewis repudiates the name Of
Populist and says he does not deserve
it. Whether as Democrat or Populist,
however, Mr.. Lewis is thing of beauty
and joy forever in the House of Repre-.
sentatives. He has injected into its pro-
ceedings just the sort of breeziness
needed to give zest to them, and his
striking personal appearance serves to
draw upon him the attention of his
fellow members and the occupants OF
the galleries. He is Democrat ALWAYS
alive to the political necessities of the
hour, and as clubman, politician,
story-teller, and all-round good fellow he
finds a hearty welcome in Washington
both in and out side of the halls of Con.
greSs.

THE people of Portland want the
warship Oregon at Portland OH the 4th
of July. They want her because her
name is Oregon, and they have a silver
service to present in recognition of the
honor of the name, and the presenta-
ton involves a convivial season, a
" flow of soul" as it were. Seattle
wants the Oregon ordered to rendez-
vous in her harbor on the Fourth sim.
ply as business proposition, to draw
a crowd, without any pretense of SEN
timental suggestion. The wires have
been kept hot and the mails over
loaded with petitions by the rival cit
les, placing the war department in a
greater quandary than declaration of
war with Spain, or the laundering of
q warship in mid-ocean. A way out
of the dilemma would be to order the
bone of contention, a big one it is adj
mitted, to Olympia on the 4th, where
the awe inspired by majestic solitude
may compensate for loss Of the
grandeur and pomp it would have
found at the demonstration of either
of the rivals.

knowledge of the social and political
significance of these terms:
Beginning with the ruling sovereign
the old list runs as follows: King,
Prince, Duke, Marquis, Earl or Count,
Viscount, Baron, Baronet and Knight,
for the men, and Queen, Princess,
Duchess, Marchioness, Countess, Wis.
countess, Baroness, Dame and Lady,
for the women. These titles substan-
TALLY represent the gradations of rank
as the system has existed since feudal
ages. King, Queen, Prince and Prin-
cess are not, properly considered,
titles of nobility, since these incum-
bents are created or dethroned by
political within or revolutionary ext
gency.
Duke is strictly the highest hered-
itary title of nobility, and Baronet the
lowest. A Knight is created by the
ruling sovereign, and the honor is
unceremoniously conferred in recog-
milton of military achievement or other
acknowledged merit. The term Lord
is quite indefinite as to its Specification,
and is applied as mark of courtesy to
a nobleman of any rank above that of
Baronet. "His Majesty" Her Maj
esty," ETC., are applied to the ruling
sovereign only, and ellis Grace" and
Her Grace" strictly apply to Duke
and Duchess, and in church parlance
to an Archbishop.

In answer to some questions pro-

turn of mind, the STANDARDS heraldic

hereditary and created nobility, as it

orally. Although under our republi.

titles relating to what is known across
the ocean as noble birth have no force
whatever, yet it is incumbent upon

THE forestry reserve amendment
reported to the House by the Confer
ence Committee is an entire substitu-
ton for the original proposition. 1t
appropriates $4,000 for survey of the
forestry reserves, and gives the Presi-
dent power to modify, revoke or sus-
pend any or all former orders of the
executive, or any part thereof, from
time to time. 1t likewise suspends
Cleveland's order until March, 1898.
Until that time the reserves are
restored to the public domain; after
that date the lands embraced in that
order, not otherwise disposed of, shall
again become subject to such orders
or proclamations as have not been
modified by the President.

RASH ACT OF MADMAN.- Jasper
Nesselroad, an old and respected citi-
zen of Whatcom, owner of an extern
sive logging business, was wounded by
a pistol-shot inflicted by II. w. Stew
art, on Thursday of last week. The
act is attributed to an uncomfortable
appetite for whisky and jealousy of
his wife. 1t seems that Mrs. Stewart
had parted from her husband on ac-
count of his intemperance, and that
the friendship of the wounded man
had been manifested in many WAYS
for both husband and wife, so there
was no real cause for jealousy unless a
protection of the woman which prob
ably influenced her to avoid repeti-
ton OF her past experience could be
construed into a justification of the
rash act of Stewart. At last accounts,
Nesselroad was alive, although the
bullet passed through his intestines
nine times in its course through his
body, and two feet of these ducts were
removed and the parts united-a tri-
umphy in surgery seldom recorded.
Nesselroad has a daughter in this city
(Mrs. Matte Gilmore) to whom he has
bequeathed property valued at 5000
in case of his death. He likewise
leaves $500 to Mrs. Stewart. The muir.
derer is in Jail awaiting trial.

June 10th, at which the usual barbe-
cue, games and recreations will be in
troduced to charm and entertain WIS.,
itors. 1t is to be regretted, however,
that the usual "killing match" is a
starred feature of the programme. If
the public had not been invited to
this display, nobody would question
the right of any trade to introduce
features peculiar to their calling; but
to most people outside of the slaugh-
ter yard the sight of inflicted death is
abhorrent; and "seen too Oft" the
butchers own experience proves that
these finer feelings are so blunted or
removed that proficiency in the art of
killing, hanging up and dressing"
becomes a matter of boast. 1t was
this morbid tendency that has disqual-
flied that trade as jurors in cases of
capital punishment.
