diplomatic family in Washington, includ-
ing twenty secretaries, attaches and
translators. 1t was an afternoon recep-
ton, between the hours of to z. The
drawing room and ball room were filed
with foreign dignitaries and the notables
of resident society. Mr.. Sze an attache,
who speaks pigeon English ''velly well''
presented the guests to the minister and
his wife. Mrs. Yang Yu is a lovely lit
tie lady, always painted like a fan or
pagoda, and delighted as a child with the
attention which she everywhere receives.
A.-e minister wore his native dress of rich
brocades, and his wife was resplendid in
brocaded satin of so many colors that JOS
eph's historic coat would have passed un-
noticed beside it, with head gear of ar.li-
cial flowers and trimmings so pictures
Quely arranged as to defy description.
Next in line stood her two baby daugh-
ters, arrayed in native gowns of brilliant
hues, and each held out to the passing
guest tiny hand, in quaint imitation to
their small mother. The young son of the
household, and Mr.. Chung, another favo-
rite attache, who knows some English as

ball room in this house is charming with
it's sky-blue effect overhead, surrounded
by cupids holding garlands of roses, it's
screens and pannels of Chinese art work
and furnishings of both the Occident and
the Orient. AT one end an orchestra was
stationed, concealed behind a superb Chi
nese screen. At the other end, between
tall palms in the recess of a bay window,
stood the famous throne, or seat of honor,
upon which Ii Hung Chang so lately sat.
The whole thing is in oak, supurbly cary
ed. There is low table upon it, and
slightly elevated seats and foot rests.
with many cushions of scarlet satin, en-
broidered in gold. 1t is a matter of uni

about to leave the country. He has al
ready notified the state department that
he has been transferred to ST. Petersburg.
and that his successor Mr.. WI Tung

Terrible Experience of Man on a

st. Joseph. Mo, Jan. 12.-In a Pull
man car on the south-bound Missouri
Pacific limited Sunday night were two
passengers, who attracted sympatheti,
attention. The woman was strikingly
beautiful, while her companion might
have been either 30 or 60 years old. Sharp
lines dishgured his otherwise attractive
features. and there was a quick, nerv-

The mans name is James Payne, and
he is a resident Of Parkersburg, w. Va,
where his family is well-to-do. Two
months ago he started for the Pacific
coast. on the train between Green river
and Pocatello his pockets were picked.
He was even unable to telegraph home
for money, and determined to make his
way through by the box-car route.
on the second night of his stay in Po-
catello, a west-bound special pulled in,
in which were several fruit cars He
climbed into one and prepared to make
himself as comfortable as possible. He
had scarcely concealed himself before the
door was closed and sealed. The car
proved to have been loaded with bananas.
He composed himself to sleep. When
he awoke 1t was to find himself In dark
ness with the train flying along with ter
rife speed. He had been aroused by some
thing soft and velvety creeping across
his face. He struck match TO see what
had disturbed him. To his horror he saw
several large tarantulas

Mr.. Pullman was indeed one of the
great wealth accumulators of the age,
was financier who had few equals,
but he failed to instill into his sons
business principles fitting them to
even have charge and control of prop
erty. He like many of the other very
rich men of the country, in the pur-
suit for wealth, neglected to give his
sons that training that would fit them
to continue as his successors. While
his efforts in life as a fnancier were
crowned with success, his duties as
parent were neglected,

Is Going Ahead

The Dalles will show fair advance
ment for the year 1897 in the way of
buildings erected. Since May 1st of
this year 26 residences have been
erected, and all of them will be COM
pleted before the end of the year.
Three business houses have gone up
VOLTS store building, the addition to
Peters & Co.'S. store and the new hotel
building erected by Rowe & Co. Two
fine churches are Under course of con-
struction-the Catholic and Lutheran
work has been commenced on the
foundation of school house that will
cost close to $4,000 and WiIkinson's 8
warehouse will probably be completed
before the end of the year. Besides
these new buildings, thousands of
dollars have been expended in repair
ing and building additions to different
residence property. This will make a
very good showing of improvements in
tie city for the year 1897, and is con-
elusive evidence that The Dalles is 60
ing ahead.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

During the past two years OF
extreme dull times the Times
Mountaineer has been sent reg
ularly to a great many who no
doubt appreciate the paper, but
who have not been called upon
for a settlement of their sub
scription. During those years
we have endeavored to keep the
paper going without calling up
on delinquents, knowing that
money was difficult to get; but
now that times have improved
we feel that our patrons should
not only settle all arrearages,
but pay their subscription one
year in advance. We have trust
ed many of you one and two
wears. and feel that a return OF
the compliment is due. You
are therefore urgently requested
to pay up back subscriptions and
one year in advance, which will
entitle you to the Times-Moun-
taineer and the Webfoot Planter
one year as a premium.

all the business of the court had been
concluded except the trial of Bush,
who had been indicted for murder in
the second degree. Last July Bush
killed young Cadle at dance in the
southern part of the county. His case

their suspense. The latest to secure

Seattle, for the Office of United States
attorney, and Chas. E. Claypool, of
Tacoma, as assistant United States at
torney. Senator Wilson has every
thing his own way when it comes to
federal patronage in Wash

with which he has been able to dispose

Says She Would Prefer 1t to ANY Coun

Mime. Calve is as loyal to the Ameri
cans when she is in Paris as they are to
her when she is in New York, says Har
per's Weekly. She has been talking to q
Partisan reporter about L'Amerique
and assures him that it is an enchanted
and dreamlike country, to which, if she
were not French, she would wish to be-
long. She brags handsomely to her
ccuntrymen about our villes mag
nifiques, with avenues as wide as the
Champs Elysees, bordered with struc.
lures two or three times as high as the
buildings in Paris, and brilliant with
electric lights. Even more warmly she
praises the remarkable development OF
our artistic instincts, which encourages
artists to give full swing to their true
temperaments and to interpret the mas
ters according to their own ideals. Mel
ba, it seems, has told a Partisan inter-
viewer that after singing in opera in
America she hardly dares risk herself
on a Partisan stage. Calve says she
sympathizes with her, and, fond as she
is of the Partisan public, looks for
ward with trepidation to appearing be-
fore it again.

THE REMAINS REMOVED.
Crave OF DIR. Marcus Whitman, Near Walla

Grave OF DIR. Marcus Whitman, Near Walla
Is Opened.
Last Thursday afternoon Marcus
Whitman's grave, at Whitman mission,
seven miles west of Walla Walla, was
opened, preparatory to the erection OF
a mausoleum of brick and granite
thereon by the Whitman Memorial
Association. President Penrose, of
Whitman college, few students and
newspaper men only were present, be-
sides the contractors.
Near the surface of the mound in
one corner, four skulls nearly intact,
were discovered, also a number of
minor bones. The skull of DIR. Whit
man was recognized by the gold filling
in one of his teeth and a tomahawk
wound at the base of the skull.
DR.. Whitman, his wife and II asso-
ciates, massacred so years ago, are
supposed to be buried in the grave.
The bones were taken to Walla
Walla, to be classified by physicians.
After being placed in glass case for
inspection for few days, they will be
returned to their resting place, and a
mausoleum of brick and granite erect
ed over them.
