SUBJECTS EoR CHARITY.
The stiles Boys to Be Taken to the Boys
and Girls Aid Society, and the
Mother to the Poor Farm.

A case deserving of special attention
and the charity of the people was
brought before Judge Mays yesterday by
several citizens, under whose notice it
came. 1t is that of the Stiles family,
who for some time has resided in
little house up in the pines. The family
consists of a mother and four boys, the
father having been killed two years ago
while working on threshing machine
at Henry Gilpin's place near this city.
Since then the mother has been endeav-
oring to support them, but owing to a
lack of training herself, and what might
be termed incom potency to manage
them. has made almost dismal failure.
Now the poor woman is Ill and unabl
to further provide, and the county ha
taken the matter in hand. The twoA
younger boys are aged and IL years,
while the older ones are 13 and 16 years
old. With some training they may be
taught to be good, industrious boys.
Accordingly, Superintendent Gardner,
of the Boys and Girls Aid Society, was
telephoned for and will arrive tonight.
Tomorrow he will look into the case and
if he deem 1t best, take them to that
institution.
In the meantime a committee of
citizens has been husily engaged in
making the boys respectable looking
and has patronized Parkins' bath
rooms, the clothing stores, etc., so that
their former friends would hardly recog-
nize in them the boys Of yesterday.
We have heard of the effects of
rattlesnake bite, when the ekin of the
person turns brown and spotted. Such
is the case OF one of these boys, who was
some years ago bitten by a rattlesnake.
Mrs. Stiles has been made comfortable
and will be taken to the county poor
farm until she RECEIVERS. Thinking that
she would no doubt appreciate picture
of her SONS who are to leave her, Mr..
Clifford kindly took their photographs
today, which will be presented to her.

butNthoughtit it entirely too risky to at
tempt to make the trip today. If pos
sible she will come up tomorrow and
will make return trip Sunday. The
present indications are not promising
for her.
Among the passengers from Salem to
Portland yesterday was Mrs. Abigail
Dunniway, who had smile on her
countenance which defied competition,
and said as plainly as words could tell,
''We'ye won the day" Her fellow pas
eengers declared that she was preparing
her ballot, as she ecribbled few lines.
Her r>four-min speech Tuesday night
did much to impress the Legislators with
the fact that women can be brief when
there's anything to be gained by it..
Several of our legislators were heard to
remark, .'While I'm not IN favor of the
amendment, the best way to get around
it is to vote for it, for Pm willing to
trust it to the people," It might, how
ever, be a parallel case with that of the
young lady who married man to get
rid of him.
A clipping appeared in THE CHRoNIcLE E
of Wednesday, stating that a Catholic
priest in Chicago had joined the Knights
of Pythias. In justice to the priest in
question, Rev. F. j. Walsh, we quote
the following from the st. Louis Review
of Jan. 18th: "The Buffalo Volkfreund
of the 9th inst. asserts that the report
that he joined or intended to join the
Knights of Pythias was denied by Rev.
F. ]. Walsh of Chicago, Immediately
upon its first appearance in the Chicago
papers, and was telegraphed over the
land by the Associated Press; but that
few of the journals served by this agency
deigned to notice it, despite the fact
that they had conepicuously printed the
fake. Such proceedings are charac-
terlstic of our yellow journals. There is
method in their madness"
On the platform at the Agricultural
College Wednesday, when the legislators
visited that institution, was Prof. Catch,
who though somewhat older in, appear
ance than when he was professor of the
academy at The Dalles, looked very
natural to many of his former pupils
from various schools of the state, who
were present. Among the distinguished
visitors on the platform were several
who had attended school when he taught
in the university at Salem, and while he
looked over them, as he did in former
days in the school room, many seemed
to be wondering, as they did then, If he
really were looking at them, and if he
we're going to ask them to speak. This
time they were safe, for while he might
have insisted on speeches in former days,
he acknow ledged he hesitated to do so
now.

The storm of Tuesday at Seaside is de-
scribed as something sublime/and at the
same time terrifying. The surf beat
clear up to the portico in/ front of the
Grimes house, and great logs of drift
wood were actually grodnd into powder
before the eyes of the beholders. Mr..
Grimes states that jh all his experience
at Seaside he never saw such fury of
the elements.
Governor Gesr has received an invita-
tions to attend the annual banquet OF

which is to be held on Washington's

cline the Los Angeles invitation, but if
nothing happens to prevent, will attend
the woolgrowers' meeting.
Last night was said to be the coldest
of the year, the thermometer loafng
around below zero-one degree down in
the city, but, according to one thermom-
eter on the hill, four below. Tne boys
are today skating on the sloughs and
ponds. We are not the only ones who
are suffering with the cold; Portland
and the Valley towns are even worse off,
although they claim it is much colder in
Eastern Oregon.
Those who so enjoyed McEwen's en-
tertainNents last year, are anxious to
see him again, and from those who have
attended them in the Valley we learn
that they are doubly interesting. This
year he has with him Miss Grace May
nard, who is the subject in one of the
on the stage. Then he introduces a
number of musical specialties and baton
swinging in the class. He may put his
subjects to sleep, but his audiences are
always wide awake and sometimes con-
vulsed with laughter.

must have been unusually cold when he
cent his report Wednesday; perhaps his
best girl had given him the 'fcold frost, !"
| the ticy mIt,' or the ''marble heart.''
Be that as it may, our residents were
amazed to see by the paper that the
thermometer stood at 15' below zero on
that day in The Dalles, when we had all
read the thermometer at 16' above. We
are inclined to believe the correspondent
was not to blame, but, as usual the
f'measly" compositor had finger in the
pie. Com positors are used to making
pi, anyway, and can bear the blame.
Although it is not anticipated that the
river will again be blocked, there is just

construction of the plant. We shall
begin work at once. AT the start we
shall produce $4,000 worth of gold

Chicago, Sept IA special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Diplomatic and official circles are dis
cussing with interest a rumor that the
secretary of state has warmly endorsed
the adoption of a special court dress
or uniform.
Senior Don Antonio Arriaga, the pres
ent dean Of the Latin-American diplo-
matte corps, is the father Of this in
novation. Ever since he succeeded 10
the deanship upon the death of Matiax
Romero, the Mexican ambassador, Sc
nor Arriaga has been urging the adop-
ton of a acrimonious uniform by his
colleagues. This has always been a
fad with some of the Central and South
American ministers. But Senior Romero,
who was personally austere and formal.
always set his face against such dis
play upon the part of republican repre-
senfatives. In order to remove the OBJ
jections of several of mis- conferees Sc
nor Arriaga determined to sound the
American secretary of state as to his
views upon this absorbing matter. He
was pleased that the idea found singu-
lar favor with Mr.. Hay.

volunteers were welcomed home on
their return to the states capital to-
day with demonstration that atoned
for the lack of enthusiasm manifested
when the regiment departed from this
city on May II, 1898, on its long jour

guns, cannons and horns began sound
ing a noisy welcome when the soldiers

o'clock.

MICHAEL DAvITTs VIEWS.
Had Dreyfus Been Poor, He Would
Have Excited No PITY.


New York, Sept. IA dispatch to
the World from London says: In
response to the request of the World
correspondent for an opinion regarding
the Dreyfus verdict, Michael Davitt
wires as follows:
The comments of the English and
American press on the result of the
trial at Rennes are a greater outrage
on justice than is the condemnation of
Dreyfus, even if he is innocent. It is
a moral assassination of a nation, for
the action of the courtmartial, had
Dreyfus been a poor man, would have
excited no sympathy in London or
New York. AS it is, the rich English
speaking world works itself into a
hypocIitical moral rage against a ma
ton that taught England and Europe
the liberty they now profess. Were
Dreyfus an lrishman accused of a
political crime against England he
would be tried, condemned by a picked
jury. sentenced by a political judge and
imprisoned among thieves.
THE fact that Dreyfus is suspected
of treachery tc France is enough to
make him a moral hero in England
and to cause the British press to use
the case as a weapon with which to
stab France. Neither England or
America ever ran one-hundredth part
OF the risk faced by France in order to
get at the truth concerning one man s
act or his innocence.
Il do not believe him altogether
guiltless. but 1 hope he will be par
doned forthwith"

The Killed.
The Seriously Injured,

Engineer Keller.
Fireman Wright, badly bruised and
scalded.
Track rider, who was on the front
end of the caboose; name unknown.
The PorterYille accommodation train
came in from Porterville, and left the
caboose on the main line while the en-
gine. and crew went in on the siding to
pick up some cars.
The ladies who were killed boarded
the caboose as it stood in front of the
depot and took their seats. The engine
and some cars were just being coupled
to the caboose when the crash came.
The heavy passenger engine tore
through the caboose as if it were card
board, and the hapless inmates were
crushed and thrown aside. The mail
and baggage and express cars were de-
rallied and served to prevent the heavy
train from telescoping by acting as a
buffer to diminish the force of the i'm
pact of the train against the mass of
wreckage in front. The passengers on
the northbound train were shaken up
and bruised by the jar of the collision,
and one man had an arm broken.
Fireman Wright was badly scalded
by the bursting of the injector pipes,
but he will probably recover.
The bodies of the women who were
killed were terribly mangled. The dis
aster ID attributed to the fact that the
caboose of the Porterville train was
left on the main track, which should
have been left clear for the passenger
train from the south.

DRIVE OUT MISSIONARIES.
Narrowly Escape With Their Lives
In Chinese Province.

from Tacoma, Wash, says: kilograms
have been received at Shanghai an
nouneing that several British mission
aries have been driven out of the city
of Paongan, situated 100 miles across
the border in Audone province, Thibet.
Over 5000 Lamas reside there, the ma
jority of whom Joined the anti-foreign
demonstration and drove the mission
aries out. The latter included Mr. and
Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Macbeth.
For several weeks previous to the
final riot the missionaries were COM
PEELED to stay indoors. Details are not
known, further than that the mission
was destroyed and the missionaries
barely escaped by journeying secretly
at night.
Near Ichang and Chun King an anti
Catholic uprising has been caused by

President Will Decline to interiors
In the Transvaal Mattear.


In the Transvaal Mattear.
New York, Sept. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Not
withstanding the suggestions of Mr..
Bourke Cochran and others, President
Mckinley has no intention of proffering
mediation in the TransvaaI dispute. Ac-
ton looking to a peaceful solution
might be taken if congress had had an
opportunity to ratify The Hague con-
vention. which makes it the duty Of
neutrals to suggest to the disputing
powers that they submit the cOntro-
versy to an arbitration court In view
of the fact, however, that these con-
yentionS have not yet been submitted
to the senate, and of the further fact
that the trouble only Indirectly concerns
the United States. while it is certain to
result in benefit to American citizens.
the administration has decided that it
would be inadvisable to interfere.
Should the Boer republic and Great
Britain request the United States to
mediate, the president would be apt to
accept. Until they do, nothing will be
done beyond the Instructions already
given to the American consul at Pre-
toria, directing him to carefully watch
developments, to make frequent reports
and give all necessary protection to
Americans and their interests.
An administration officer said today
that many Americans urged the presi-
dent to interfere on the ground that
American interests in the TranSvaal
are very large. AS a matter OF fact,
he said, very little mining property, and
that of small value, is owned by Ameri-
cans. while the majority Of the Ameri-
cans in the country are in the employ
of the British syndicate which Owls
and operates the mines.
