OREGON LEGISLATURE.

Salem, Oregon, Jan. 16.-The House
spent the entire day in making dilia-
tory motions. Many members have
left the capital to spend Sunday and
as they will not return until Monday
afternoon it is highly probable that or
ganization of the House will not &C.
cur before Tuesday, which will again
delay the vote for United States SEN
ator for a week or so. The Mitchell
men express confidence in their abil-
ity to keep their forces in line until a
vote is taken while the opposition is

window glass a, block away tothe west.
Pousing a moment to listen to the eX-
pected noise of hurrying footsteps, and
hearing none, the patrolman hurried in
the direction of the noise, confidently
expecting to a%pprehend the burglars in
the act. When he reached the corner
of Sixth and Franklin avenue he dis
covered the form of "a man leaning up
against the window of a haberdasher's
store. He cautiously crept up IN the
supposed burglar, only to discover that
the man was sound asleep with his head
through the plate glass window. In
the uneasiness incident to the heavy
load he carried, he had butted his head
through the window. He was totally
unconscious OF what had happened
when the policeman woke him up. He
paid the proprietor for the damage
done and no arrest vas made.

PAID A FORTUNE FOR A YACHT
Eugene Higgins New Pleasure Boat Cost
Half q Million Dollars.

Half a million dollars seems a great
deal to spend for a pleasure craft; still
that is what Eugene Higgins has done.
His new yacht, the Varuna, has arrived
in the New York port from Greenock,
having made the voyage In ten days.
The Varuns is one of the handsomest
steam yachts afoat and has proved her
self to be a fine sea boat. Although the
weather she encountered was severe
from start to finish, the Varuna shipped
hardly q bucket of water. The Varuna
is commanded by Capt. Frayler and
sailed from the yards of A. & j. Ingliss,
on the Clyde, on November 81. The
weather was so severe that the yacht
was compelled to seek shelter until No
vember %. The yacht was designed by
G.. L. Watson. She is schooner rugged
and is a twin-screw vessel, the propel-
lers being driven by two sets of quad
ripple expansion engines, capable of Civ
ing her a speed of II knots an hour.
She registers 1,574 tons gross, is painted
white, and is filed with all the latest
improvements and appliances. The
crew numbers 81 men.

SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER.

Roast Goose Occupies the Place of Honor,
 Geneva Fritters the National Dish.
 h this beautiful country, where the laws and the customs vary ia every can- ton, the mistress of the kitchen has a wide variety of German, Italian and French cooking to select from. But on Christmas day, although all these styles may be united on one table, there Is an inyariable although unwritten law that roast goose shall be the chief dish. The dessert is 8 marvellous mixture of Swiss oonfeotioneries, comprehending every thing from little cocoanut cakes to elab. nrate structures of flour and sugar inter sperscd with all sorts of nuts and small fruits.
 But between the opening goose and she closing patisserie is introduced the really national Christmas dish called the Geneva fritters These fritters are made after the following recipe:
 Put into saucepan dozen pears cut into quarters and the cores taken out, with enough water to cover them. Let them stew till they are quite tender, when the water will have evaporated Put them into colander and crush them with wooden spoon. Add half their weight of sugar, little lemon and pinch of powdered cinnamon. Put the saucepan on the fire for eight or ten minutes and then let it cool Take two handfuls of raisins, seed them and put them on the fire with enough water to soften them, then add them to the above, with httle glass of rum or kirsch.
 Take thin flour paste TOT dozen pears of moderate size and make them into roll about the circumference of a dollar, cover half the surface of the paste with marmalade and cut the frit. ters into convenient sizes. Serve witk the yolks of eggs. after cooking theni before hot fire and powderins them with ssgar. New York World.

CHRISTMAS GIVING.
The Poor Were Not Forgotten In tic n.v.
 of Long Ago.

f<s ENa-,
 of Long Ago.
 There is an ancient custom for inc rector of Fiddle Hinton, ill Dorsetshire. to give away OH old Christmas day, the 9th of January, annually, pound Of bread, pint of ale and mince pie to every poor person in the parish, and this distribution is regularly made by the rector to upward Of 300 poor persons. At Stafford there is au old charity for providing poor people with plums for their Christmas paddinss, sId kind hearted man at Burnham left sum sufficient to provide the inmates of the nuorhouse of the pafish- with a Christi mas dinner. followed by a proper supply of ale, tobacco and snuff.
 At Prince Risborough, in Bucking- hamshire, there was a very singular Christmas usage. Up to about 1913 a bull, boar, sack of wheat and a sack of malt were given away to the poor by the lord of the manor at about o'clock every Christmas morning. This practice was then discontinued, and for about five or six years beef and mutton were distributed in place of the above articles. Mir Grubb-fit name for the dispenser of what Rittmaster Dugald Dalgetty would call 'sthe provend ''--of the par sonage house. the then lord of the man. or, whose father first stopped the above customary distribution, produced to the commissioners of charities a case which his father had laid before a justice, rel ative to this custom, with a view of ob. taining the opinion of counsel as to whether it could be sustained as GUS. tom at common law, and whether he should be subject to legal process if he omitted to make the distribution.
 It appears from the document that the custom had then prevailed for a considerable number of years; that it was mentioned in the local histories but that it's origin was lost in obseurity The practice, while it lasted, seems to have been productive of much intoxica- ti0n and riot. The poor are said to have paraded the town during the whole night preceding the distribution with an ineessant elamor, effeetually banish- ing all repose. On the following morn ing they marched i'll crowds to MT. Grubb's house. and these assemblies of. ten comprised many strangers as we'll aa parishioners. On the doors being opened they all rushed to the feast prepared for them with so little decorum and for bearance that often in their zeal for priority they inflicted wounds on one another with their knives. The whole remaining portion of Christmas day, it is stated, was spent by many of them in the public houses. The justice before whom the matter WAS heard was of the opinion that this custom was not sus. tainable as a common law right, and the charity commissioners reported sat they had received no sufficient evits9ee that the custom could be considered aa charitable donation the continuance of which could be enforced.

FAILURE OF JUSTICE.

In speaking of the failure of jus. tice in the tobacco trust case, when ten of the jury were for conviction and two for aequittal, Gone of whom was shown to be an investor in me- nopolistic corporations, and the other q man who was not subject to jury duty but concluded to act from patriotic desire to promote the ends of jnstice), the New York .Joufnoi says:
 Though there is practical unanim- ity among the people in the con- viction that trusts are harmful to the interests of producer and con- sumer alike, though the principle embodied in these laws proceeds di- rectly and logically from the English common law, and has unquestioned acceptance among Anglo-Saxon na- tions; though the demand of the votersfor the suppression of monop. polistic corporations has been so emphatic that Congress and nearly every State Legislature has been forced to pay heed to it, yet in the courts antitrust law has almost in sarriably failed. Each failure leads to more insoent aggression on the part of the trusts, greater unrest and discontent among the people. ]"
