Columbus IL Blamed.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says: The
dominant tone of the press comment is
philosophical resignation. The educat-
ed classes are not making any attem pt
to find scapegoats or to console them
selves with vituperation Of the victori-
GUS enemy. The colonies, instead Of
enriching, have impoverished the coun-
try. Columbus, In discovering the
New World. was not SPANS bene-
factor, but her evil genius. Therefore
one leading paper opposes the sugges.
ton that his remains should be brought
home from Havana,

sutro was Tnsolvent.

San Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE Even
ing Post says that the s., 600. 900 estate
of the late Adolph Sutro Is insolvent,
and that unless the creditors agree to
withdraw their claims for the time be-
ing the estate will be hopelessly
swamped. Much of Sutro's property is
mortgaged, and interest and other nec-
essary expenditures are eating the estate
up very rapidly. The executors of the
estate say that If time Is given them
every possible demand will be met and
that there will be large residue for the
heirs. The attorneys for the estate
deny that there Is another Will, and
say that Mrs Kluge's claims are
groundless.

.Home-asade. Soda water.

Plain soda In water-s0 often recon-
mended for dypeptics-is disagreeabie
drink to many people; but delicious
drink may be prepared to take It's place
that will prove quite as beneficial.
Take two pounds Of graduated sugar.
two ounces Of tartaric aoid. one and
one-half ounces Of essence OF winter
green. three pints Of water and the
whites Of two eggs. Mix the sugar
with the acid and wterr, let It come to q
boil, and boil hard for two minutes.
When cool stir In the wintergreen and
the eggs beaten to froth. Put into
jars and set in cool place. Put two
tablepoonsfuls or less Of the syrup IN q
glass of cold water and foam It up with
soda, using from one-fourth to one
half teaspoonful Of the soda, just
enough to make It foam thoroughly;
and 1t will not only be beneficial, but a
delicious summer drink.

n6srd Of Trade Brokers, III to ia Chamber Of
Commerce building. Portland. oregon.l
The cash situation, which Is Rener-
ally the main element in the Market
shows little change. The demand IN
some quarters failed to show as much
urgency, but In others 1t was fully up
to previous weeks. The scarcity OF
cash wheat, the result of farmers refus-
ing to sell freely, is the underlying
strength. There were numerous BIDS
Of GO &c over September for No. 2 red,
and Sc over for No. 2 hard for export,
but sales were slow. No. 3 red brought
72c and No. hard II Kc free on board.
In ordinary years this price would De
an attractive one to farmers, but this
season it Is not. What the outcome
will be is a puzzle. Farmers may be
able to carry their point and force spec
ulators to pay better prices. A great
deal depends upon the magnitude OF
the export demand. The rally at the
last was helped by reports that cash
wheat in Kansas City was up Gao,
and Minnesota Sc on cash wheat.
There was also report about Russia
prohibiting exports. but It was denied
by export houses in Paris. Receipts
everywhere were under last years.
The Price Current was rather bull
ish, and London reported the continent
buying cargoes off coast. 1t Is said
that practically all the stock OF the
contract wheat at Chicago will be- ship
ped out before the end of the week.
With no stock there and futures at a
discount there is not much prospect Of
bears making large profits by selling on
the breaks. The government suggests
a spring wheat crop for Minnesota OF
1881 900 bushels; North Dakota, as,
451 900 bushels; South Dakota, Al,
500, 900 bushels, total for the three
states of 1877, $50, 600 bushels. Last
year they had 100, $50, 900 bushels.
The general belief is that the depart
ment's acreage Is too low.
Conflicting reports In regard to the
crop situation in Russia were circu-
lated. The first received were unfavor-
able. They started inquiries from
other sources. Dreyfus' man at New
York said that the Russian situation
was favorable, though less in some sec.
tions, and deliveries were rather light,
owing to rains having delayed thresh.
ing. D. Bingham's information waf
that the Russian crops were good.

Rev. DR.. Carroll of the fashionable

Cleveland, holds that had St. Paul
known anything of the towering
denominations as women wear on their
heads nowadays the apostle would new
er have declared that women should
keep their heads covered while in
church. Therefore he recently re-
quested the women OF his congregation
to remove large hats during service.
ana nearly everyone has complied.
Dr. Carroll had from time to time
been in receipt Of complaints from
men that the high hats made ii inn
possible for them to listen to sermons
with any degree Of enjoyment Il was
at a loss says the doctor, Ito know
what to do about il, and so came to
the conclusion. after thinking the
! matter ever carefully that the best
course would be to throw the respon-
sibility upon the women themselves.
! took counsel of several Of the most
! thoughtful ladies among my congre-
| cation, and they told me that they
would support me in my efforts to in
