THE ORIGIN OF DREYFrrs.

The curious origin OF the name
'Dreyfus,' which is so widely extended
among yhe Jews OF France. Germany
and Switzerland, is interesting juS' at
TINS time. IL arose in Elsass in he
form CT 'T.svUs.' Its present form ~
Que 10 = strange popular misunder-
standing. Ia the year 1855. when the
persecution OF the Jews took new
STRAIT in nearly all the states OF Ger
many, the Elector Palatine. Johann II.
and his neiShbor, the Archbishop Elec-
tor, Johann Of Trier. agreed to expel
all the Jews from their dominions. The
Jewish fugitives from Trier sought u
new home, for the most part in ElsIss.
The jews Of that time, faithful to their
ancient customs. had not adopted the
use Of hereditary suTnameS. which had
been common among their Christian
nsighhcrs in Germany for more than
two centuries. Hence the municipal
and communal authorities throughout
EIass entered the names Of one and all
the Hebrew immigrants as "T-svira-
nus" tthat is, "the man from Tr!er.
Official scribe was altered in the popu-
lar dialect TO the hard ID" and pc
official abbreviation "Trevus" iu the
local registers became "Dyeysus.
Thus every Jewish exile from Trisr
had 20 accept. nolsns vo.ens. the sur
name Of Dreyfus. There Is no ground
whatever for the various ingenious AID
tanciful deriyations of the name from

CRICKET PROJECT
Local Players Want a
Series of Cup Matches.
Proposition TO Form Several Eie-
vens and Play a Series OF League
Games on Baseball Principles.

There IS some talk among local
cricketers OF inaugurating a series OF
cup matches after the manner tn
vogue in Australia. Something Is Ger
;airly needed TO induce interest among
the willow wielders." and the idea
should not be allowed to- go by default
before action OF some sort Is taken.
The membership of the Honolulu
Cricket Club is a large one and. with
outsiders" there should be- sufficient
players TO form either three or four
teams. The scheme, so far as at pres
ent appears, Is to call meeting OF
those interested and elect captains,
who will draw lots and play their
teams one against the other. the same
as baseball league games. for a cup
to be set up by the Honolulu Cricket
Club or by subscription from mem
bers; this cup to become the property
OF the team standing in the lead on
completion OF the season. Under ex-
listing conditions the arrival OF a Brit
ish gunboat and an occasional match
with the Davies eleven are the only
times when cricket is really played.
ana even then errors i'm the field are
so numerous, by reason OF insufficient
practice, that the game loses much OF
its interest to an onlooker Under this
new order of things every player will
undoubtedly exert himself to- his ut
most in the interests OF his team. and
from these matches the executive OF
the Honolulu Cricket Club will have
good opportunity of selecting team
competent to bring about the downfall
OF any visiting eleven.

will have Charge Of Pt. Orchard Dock.

Captain Coghlan, com mander of the
Raleigh, now ordered out OF commission
for extensive repairs and alterations,
is assigned to duty as commandment OF
the Puget Sound naval station.
Some surprise is expressed in naval
circles that Capt. Coghlan should re-
ceive so important aud desirable an
assignment i'm view of the general
understanding that he was reprimand
ed for his little recitation of "Hoch Del
Kaiser" but the general understanding
was all wrong.
There might have been a gentle
Gliding in Secretary Longs letter,
but it was SO mild that the sec.
rotary did care to make it public at
that time, and Coghlan had too much
good sense tn do so.
Officials at the navy department are
reticent regarding Capt.Coghlan's as
slgnmcnt, whether or not 1t fore
shadows any change in the affairs o.
the Puget Sound station. However,
seems likely that new reign of activ-
ity is to be inaugllrated, and money
appropriated for construction worl
ana additional machinery is to be
expended in placing the station in
better condition to hanled government

State Fair Notes.

The state fair commission is arrang-
ing for general conference of horti-
cultural inspectors of the state, at
North Yakima, during the tair week,
Sept. % to 80. The meeting will he
attended by prominent fruit growers
from all sections, and will prove bene-
fetal in many respects. 1t is proposed
that several sessions he held in some
pubic hall, where the various subjects
OF growing, handling and marketing
fruits, discriminating pests, introducing
new varities and other matters of i'm
portance to fruitmen will be discussed.
The growers and dealers will in this
way form an intimate acquaintance
and their work result to the mutual
advantage Of all in attendance.
Work on the state fair is progressing.
The buildings are being repaired, the
track put i'll shape and many con-
veniences are being added for the COM
fort Of both exhibitors and visitors.
The commission has decided to re-
fuse privileges to all parties having
gambling devices, and must therefore
refuse many applications for such as
appear to be of that class. The in
dications are that many oil the finest
products Of the Northwest, never before
exhibited, will be at the fair :his fall
The people are enjoying prosperity
and desire to show the neighbors and
the strangers within our borders, what
the northwest can produce Yakima

r. E. Bryan of Hillsboro, Or, was in
Cathlamet, on Tuesday taking look
at how modern logging is accomplished
in these damp days. Mr. Bryan owns
fine body of timber land in British
Columbia, just oppositeNew Whatcom,
consisting of nearly 100000 ieet.
He will start camp this summer and
commence operations. Mr.Bryan's son
has just returned from Manila, where
he has been taking an active part in
the hostilities now pending. At the

is finally settled and business enter

that the lumber industry on this coast
will receive quite an impetus from the
demand that will undoubtedly be devel-

Washington is the only state in the
Union that can successfully grow Hol-
land bulbs, and proposition is being
floated looking to the establishment OF
a heavy industry in this line in What
com county. This news was brought
to Seattle by Andreas Simon, horticul-
tural and agricultural editor OF the
Stats Zeitung, of Chicago, the second
largest German paper in America. who
arrived here yester day to consult with
the Seattle immigration committee
relative to doing some work for West
ern Washington in the East.
Mr.. Simon has spent considerable
portion of the summers of tl:-. last
four years in Whatcom county and
other parts of this side of the state
and devoting the most of this time to
improving his knowledge Of the agrl-
cultural resources. Through his IN
strumentality and valuable conserva-
tive articles published in his paper 25C
German people from the Middle East
have already lmmigrated to Whatcom
county where they are living and
thriving. When he came from Chi
cago ten days ago he was the head O
another party of nineteen, which viii
also settle in that locality.
M. Simon is well acquainted will
the natural conditions necessary Il
the successfully growing OF HOLLAND
bulbs, and says the soil and climate o
Whatcom county are SO favorable tina
Holland may be successfully competed
with. AS there is imported into tn
United States value of $25O,OOO o
these bulbs every year, when the indus
try is we'll established here grea
portion of this will be saved. The on
ly other state in the Union where tn
bulbs can be grown at all is Nortl
Carolina, and there the product j

A TIP to Ministers.

The conduct of Michigan Volun-
teer at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, last
Sunday when he left the church be-
cause the minister was preaching
against expansion and criticising the
government in the management OF
the war may well furnish ministers OF
the gospel topic to think about. Not
that it need influence their opinions
upon political question, but to adj
monish them of the improperly OF
discussing e purely political question
from the pulpit. In this country 1t IS
impossible for the average citizen to
escape coming in contact with a poll
tical question on six days OF the week.
No matter how wearisome it may be-
come, he will hear it wherever he goes
and from everyone whom he may hap
pen to engage in conversation. Some
times it is one topic; again, it is an
other.
For the past twelve month, the ques-
tons that conversationalists in the
United States cannot escape are those
growing out of the war with Spain.
At club meetings, social gatherings,
lyceums, church festivals, lodge meet
ings, in bar rooms, on street corners,
in the newspapers, in short, wherever
one goes, or with whomever he talks,
he must expect to hear about expan-
sion, treatment of the troops, embalm-
ed beef. furnishing of commissary sup
plies and hundred other topics that
have occupied public attention since
war began little more than year
ago. To hear these matters talked
about in most places is to be expected
and, though they have ceased to be
particularly edifying, they are accept
ed with patience. But when man
or woman goes to church Oh Sabbath
morning they 60 with their minds
prepared to hear about something elso
and it is little short of an imposition
to feed them with the same sort Of
provender that they are trying to gel
away FROM
In all of these matters the pastor
will doubtless see opportunities to I'M
press practical moral lesson upon
his congregation; he is of course, justi
fed III doing so, but an elaboration
upon political questions that people
become very tired of on week days, be-
comes doubly nauseating when heard
from the pulpit on Sundays.-Seattlt

The question of how profitably
produce our home supply OF bacon and
hams Is IN" IT very great Importance
in the P..ci.e Northwest. At one time
when wheat wasextremely low in price
we increase sery rapidly our produc-
ton OF h"e~, ) 1t for the past two or
three years the imports of pork produce
IS into the Northwest appear to have
been increasing. Many farmers in
in this region know how to raise hogs
with profit in small numbers.
What is wanted is general knowledge
OF how every farmer can make it paw
to raise more hogs than at present.
just as soon as can clearly demonstrate
ca that"there Is money in hogs" the
hogs will be raised. 1t is part of the
farmers business to try to find out
how this can be done. We have no
doubt that the time will come when
the Pacific Northwest will not only
produce all the bacon and hams re-
quired for home use, but will also mar
ket q large quantity of these products
elsewhere because we produce better
quality Of these articles than any other

Oyster Culture.

PORT ANGELES, May 24.-DR. E. H.
Stanley, the Port Angeles oyster en-
thusiast, returned to town Monday
from a visit visit to his oyster pond at
Washington Harbor.
DR.. Stanley has for several years de-
voted considerable time and money in
perfecting pond for the reception OF
oysters for the purpose of cultivating
the Estern bivalve. DR.. Stanley visit
ed the pond ir company with Deputy
Fish Commissioner J. A. Gale.
The Doctor states that he was de-
lighted to find the deputy so enthusi-
astic over the probable future of the
oyster business in the state.
The deputy has had twenty years.
experience in oyster culture, and was
most favorably impressed with the
location at Washington Harbor. He
found the water perfect, the vegetable
matter the best, ard the bottom just
right, and with but very slight i'm
provement in the way of building a
dam to keep out animal matter, the
pond would be the finest IN the sta te.
1t covers an area of about two hun
dred acres, and the deputy was so fav-
orably impressed with the place that
he is going to recommend it as a state
station for the culture of Olympia
oysters. He says the present value OF
of the Olympia oyster to the state is
$4,000 annually, but with the de-
velopment of cultivation, as proposed
under the state appropriation, 1t will
he worth to the state several times
what it is at present.-Times.
