A Delightful Evening.

Owing to the inclement weather the
attendance at the semi-term "open
meeting" at Willamette University
was considerably reduced Friday even
ing but what the assembly lacked in
numbers was more than made up in
numerous pleasant diversions.
Miss Bessie Collision, president of
the Philsdosian society, presided oyer
the exercises of the evening The first
number was a violin solo by Miss Mel
| lie Brown, the execution of which was
up to the usual standard Of excellence
Of that tllented young lady's perform
anccs, She very gracefully acknowl-
edged an effort to recall her, Miss
Bli nche Belle was heard in recta
tion that merited the encore it re-
ceiyed. The young elocutloniSt re-
sponded with short selection.
Misses Louise and Matte Southwick
were heard in one of their best vocal
selections and responded to the hearty
and prolonged encore accorded them,
with the-ever popular piece "AmbO-
lena Snow" Miss Marie Vandersal
was heard in one OF her best recita-
tions and was warmly applauded.
Miss Vandersal is one of Salems tall
ented elocutionists. Her interpreta-
tion of the loYe affairs of the attrac-
tive young daughter Of a farmer,
whose suitors numbered three, and
the ultimate termination thereof was
splenddly given. Miss Halle
Watson's instrumental solo was ap-
plauded to the echo but the modest
young performer would not concede
her delighted auditors second selec-
tion. Miss Watson is most skillful
performer for one Of her years and
has a bright future before her in mus
| ical circles.
Nj IS Bessie Collisions prophecy"
gave evidence OF careful preparation
and its presentation was good. Re
inforced as it was by occasional pan
tomines, made the plp3r OF double
interest The selection of the "Phil-
odorian Quartette" formed a fitting
finale To the program AS burlesque
it was much appreciated and no one
questions but the vocalization was
far superior to any the Philodoria ns
are capable Of providing. The as
Sembly was 50 delighted with the
initial selection by this quartette they
insisted upon and received a second
number entitled The Swanee River.
The first selection was: Just Tell
Them That You Saw Me"
The quartet consisted of Misse
Neya Griswold, Pear Sanders, Ethe
Rigdon aud ROxauna Thompson.
AT the conclusion Of the program
10 the chapel the young people as
sembled in the society halls on the
third fiOoT where the reminder Of
the evening was spent, not moment
OF which passed but was charged with
genuine pleasure. Games Of yariOu.
kinds were proposed and zeai0usly
prosecuted until II o'clock ahen th'
merry throhg dispersed.

Mayor Hoos Finds That the
Law Won't Allow the
Building of Water
works.
M,EwAN's PROPOSITION ILLEGAL
Gravity Supply Only Possible
and the Experts Will
Be Confirmed.

CONGRESSMAN T. Mc11wan and Lebbeus
b Ward called on Mayor Hoos this MORN
ing. to talk about the water question:
Mr.. McEwan some time ago in letter
to the Mayor insisted that the city could
and should buy and build its own water
plant. This statement was sent to the
Mayors legal advisers. 1t Is UNDERSTOOD
that Mayor Hoos has received decision
from Corporation Counsel Blair and Mr.
Allan l.. McDermott telling him that the
question of the city buying its own water
works is imply impossible. According 10
law. these gentlemen say, the city can
spend no bigger sum than s500,0o0 on the
purchase of a water works, hence the
plan suggested to do that is entirely out
of the question.
Many Jersey City people have advocated
this purchase of a water works py the
city and Mayor Hoos submitted tne
proposition to the legal authorities just
named. In view of their opinion the plan
will be dropped and the gravity supply IS
again on top.
It it authoritatively stated that Mayor
Hoos will approve of the resolutions ap-
pointing C. c. vermeule and Garwood
Ferris as experts TO prepare plans ana
specifications for gravity supply Inc
Mayor as it will be remembered yetoea
the resolutions from the Board of Finance
and Street and Water Commissioners on
technical ground. This technicallty can
be easily overcome and the appointments
formally approved. These experts VIII
shan at once go to work with the prepara-
ton of their plans.

On the return trip they occupied END

The first night out from San Francisco,
as the train was speeding through lone
ly section of the country the Captain was
awakened by stirling smoke that nearly
choked him. He was startled to ind the
roof of the car above his berth in flames.
He quickly jumped out of bed and aroused
Mrs. Newbury who was sleeping in the
in the lower berth. He then pulled the
signal rope. but found that it had been
burned. He seized pail of water
and dashed it on the flames. 1t did but
little good He then seized a fire axe
and began to tear away the burning tim
bers.
In the meantime Mrs. Newbury had

HORSES FOB EXPORT.
Secretary Wilson studying the Re-
sources Of western States.

WASHINGTON, July 81, 1S97.-Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, will spend his vacation, which. he
will take in August, in travelling through
Colorado. Utah, Wyont9D the Dakotas
and Montana, with the object of Studying
the resources of these States for rearing
horses suitable for the European armies.
The Secretary has written to United
States Ministers, and has requested some
Americans travelling abroad TO give him
information regarding the exact qualifi-
cations demanded rothe army horses of
Europe, and when this information is re-
ceived farmers bulletin will be issued,
with a view of having this country do
more in supplying the demand than. it has
in the past. The only objection to horses
raised on the plains of the west as army
horses for European countries lies in the
fact that the animals are not large
enough.
The Sioux pony possesses all the
equalities of health and hardness that
could be desired, and it is believed that by
proper feeding and by the Introduction of
heavier stock on the Sire side it can
be brought up to the required size.
Mr.. Wilson believes that if stockmen
and farmers can grow the horses needed
to recruit the cavalry of European coun-
tries they will get a good price for them.
Secretary Wilson will also look over
the States in which he will spend his

ALICE BARRETTs MYSTERY.
Captain Goldman Laughs at the Story
That He Borrowed HIonev.

Captain Goldman Laughs at the Story
'Elat He Borrowed MONEY.
BOSTON, July 81, 1s97.-It has developed
that the mysterious man who figured in
the stories told by Alice NJ Barrett whose
body was found in the Office of her en-
ployers, here, week ago. in relation to
a loan of $500 to Captain John Goldman,
brother of the girls employer
Captain Goldman, however, positively
denies the story and says he got the in
formation that he was named by Miss
Barrett as her debtor from Fire Marshal
Whitcomb of this city who went to New
York yesterday to interview Captain Cod
man. Fire Marshal Whitcomb went to
New York in consequence of information
received from Mrs. Barrett, the girls
mother.
Captain Goldman, who, with Fire Mar
shall Whitcomb, returned from New York
by the night boat, said he was willing to
tell all he knew about the matter and
throw any light possible on the girls
death. He had known Alice Barrett two
or three years, he said. She had done
considerable typewriting for him and he
had taken her to dinner at the Parker
House several times. He had also given
her a picture of himself. The young
woman would never take pay for any
typewriting he said, and that was the
reason he took her to dinner
He was greatly surprised to hear that
he was the mysterious individual to whom
Alice had loaned the $500 and laughed at
the thought of it. He pointed out the
absurdity Of the idea that he SHOULD she SO
to a stenographer to borrow $500. He
stated that he could not believe the girl
told such story.
