Last night Mr., j. T. Peters horse,
which was kept in his stable at the East
End. broke down the deor and running
into projecting timber injured himself
so badly that he died this morning. The
horse was valuable one, and one which
his owner regrets parting with. James
Blakeney also had the misfortune. to
lose one OF his horses last night. The
animal had been sick for a week past
and last night went to horses heaven.
Last night just after the boat arrived
there was an CANCEL lowering round, ;"
and when some men were about to move
a wagon onto the dock, he was requested
to fly away. Being somewhat ratified he
forgot his wings and stepping aside fell
into the river. The water was but few
feet-deep, and by clinging to one of the
piles he kept his feet until he could re-
ceive assistance. Mr.. Angel got pretty
well ducked, and to preventfurthe bap-

MUSIC HATH CHARMS.
AS Was Proven Last Night to Au-
dience at the Baldwin.

The breathless silence which pervaded
the audience during the entire program
at the Baldwin last night was very COM
plimentarY to the Wilder Harp and
String Quintette Club and speaks well
for the taste of the musical people of The
iDalles, for the concert was certainly one
yof excelleney throughout.
The club is composed of Prof. Wilder
who plays the mandolin, as does also H.
Berger; H. K. Oliver, violoncellist; Miss
Bessie Wemple, violInist and Mrs.
Wilder, harpist. The latter instrument,
perhaps, pleased the audience most. as
| it is not often that we are permitted to
enjoy the rare sweetness of its tones so
thoroughly as when played by such an
artist as manipulated its strings upon
this occasion.
i Somehow the old songs are dearer to
us than can the new ones ever be and
they always thrill US in the strangest
way. 1t is human nature to grasp at
everything which may appear new and
strange; but when we have listened to
the latest and most classic OF compost
tions and finally detect a few familiar
strains such as were played by Miss
Wemple in her violin solo, when was
recognized the air of that old song so
dear to ever Germans heart, go vie lists
moeglich damn" or sung by Americans
"How can leave thee, queen of my
loving heart" we grow extremely en-
thusiastlc. Miss Wemple understands
the art of bringing out every tone that
is best in the violin and pleased the au-
dience so much that she was loudly en-
cored.
The solo on the violoncello by Mr.
Oliver was not less appreciated, and
those who were not aware that such
music could be brought forth from the
instrument, were convinced that it plays
no small part in the general effect oi
selections rendered.
The two gentlemen who picked the
mandollns, though not being heard in
, solos, made their presence known in the
other numbers, taking the lead in 6
manner which proved them competent
musicians.
The vocal part of the program was wei
filled by Miss Myrtle Michel, whose
first selection was ''Only in Dreams by
: De Koven, followed by an encore "Nc
Kiss" She next Gang Forgotten" BY
Cowles, responding to an encore will
+ "The Wedding of the Lily and the Rose.
She was we'll accompanied by Aiber
Baldwin at the piano.
The club were much pleased with tn,
reception given them by the people o
, The Dalles, and Prof. Ryan is to be con
graduated on the success of the concert
At the close of the program a larg
number remained to enjoy dancing for
short time. The music furnished b,
Bert Baldwin, Prof. Ryan and Clinton
Alden was good. The dances were cur
tailed somewhat on account of the Hines
of Mr.. Baldwin, who had been confine,
g to his bed during the day, and wa
q scarcely able to appear last night.

ture. In driving the Spanish from

college boy whose conscience has been
quickened by years spent in the study
Of conclusions based on abstract
truths and the beauties and harmOnies
OF science could speak with greater
love Of country and scorn Of cruelty
and baseness, nor be influenced SO
little by sOrdid designs OF territorial
acquisition. They have required in
their language to the declaration OF
the Fourth OF July, 1776, with heart
mess that shames all those who have
thought the senate OF the United
States capable at supreme moment
Of being influenced by any other senti-
ment than undivided love Of country.
Nobody knows how long the war will
last, or how much treasure or how
many lives it will cost. We only
know that naval war with the mat
ter-annihilating explosives Of the GEN.
fury will be more horrible than Jules
Verne's most impossible flights OF
imagination. The war may kill and
destroy SO much that the nations Of
the earth will agree not to fight again.
1t must come to that point some time
and the American Spanish war may
bring that conclusion within reach Of
the world.
But war is not an unmixed evil.
Like death in a family it makes union
stronger. The strenuous sacrifice OF
the civil war made heroes and helOines
OF commonplace men and women who
would otherwise have lived longer and
altogether trivial lives. Nothing
which stimulates patriotism and en-
cOurages individual self sacrifice for
the good OF the whole is to be avoided.
When war is no more some recurrent
and universal passion which seizes
upon men and induces them in COM
panies to struggle and die, must take
its place. Else the strenuous and the
serious. which has made the mothers
sons, born between the years Of 1850
and 1870 into men Of might and high
courage, will be lacking. The absence
OF tradition and Of hereditary social
position in this country makes money
about the only dictator Of place and
power. The tendency Of long con.
tinued peace is to reduce the number
OF prizes to be striven for to one and
that one-money. The reproach that
the dollar is king in America is not
altogether undeserved. National
peril and long trenches filled with
our clean limbed, clear-eyed young
soldiers, will bring back again colonial
ideals of what life is for.
Although the Maine massacre is not
alleged as the cause Of the approach
ing American-Spanish war, it is none
the less the casus belli. No one will
admit that we would give up treasure
and blood for an abstract principle
and general love of freedom and a de
sire to see it spread all over the face
Of the earth. We do not want Cubs
because we can not handle our OWL
population with the results that the
Declaration OF Independence seems u
promise. The debt that we must as
sure IL we take Cuba and may
be obliged to guarantee anyway

The last enstallment of Henry
James ghost story which has been
running in Golfers Weekly has ap-
peared, and the last chapters keep up
the interest to the end. Imagine
climax prophesied in the first page and
in every succeeding one, everlastingly
dreaded, always suspended and mas
tering the characters, and the readers
until the last sentence of the final
paragraph. Such story is Henry
James ''The Turn Of the Screw" re-
ferred to in these columns several
weeks ago. Mr.. James in a commune
cation concerning Du Maurier which
appeared in one of Harper's publica-
tions while Trilby was running in
Harper's Weekly, said that Du Maui
rier had told him the plots of many
stories which he had in reserve. This
was in response to confession from
Mr.. James that the most difficult part
Of composition was the conception of
q plot. Now ''The Turn of the Screw"
has certain Du Maurieresque features,
viz: idealized childhood, mysticism,
the very suspension of the plot till the
denoument, suspended but momen-
tarily threatening cataclysmic reve-
latiOn. II it were not an imputatiOn
against Mr.. James versatility / should
be sure that the plot of this story was
supplied him by Mr.. Du Maurier. The
little girl and boy of the ''Turn of the
Screw" lack only the Du Maurier il
lustrations to be Trilby and little
Peter Ibbetson. Their unreal sweet
ness, goodness and supernatural
beauty, even the confidential tone of
the narration, are of George Du
Maurier and not of Henry James. The
latter's method is decidedly not to be
on familiar terms with his probably
unlettered and positively ulinterest-
ing readers. But he has learned
trick Of Du Maurier as well as plot
and the manuscript is read to a group
of friends around a fire place and under
circumstances in which his usual
hauteur would be quite out Of place.
The climax Of the story is intensely
longed for. With an exquisite art, all
his own and more literary that that of
the gentlemen who loaned him the
plot, NJ. James has shown the influ.
ence Of two evil ghosts or spirits upon
the naturally transparency brilliant,
and pure minds of two little children.
Their governess finds out that these
children are in the constant presence
of an evil looking man and woman
who or which when alive we're para
mours. They communicate with the
little brother and sister who can see
them and understand them and are
gradually teaching them evil, when
the gOverness appears. After little
while she too, sees the bOogers whom
the children love. She sees that the
children know that she sees them but
