The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1899-09-30

Pague, the Portland prophet, has
been smelling rain for four days and
yesterday 1t came. A local philosopher
ascribes the superabundance Of mois-
ture in Oregon this year to downright
jealously and to Mr.. Vail, the Manila
postmaster. Mr. Vail is an oregonian
and he has written several times that
ii rains more in one week In the Philip
pines than II does in Oregon in q year.
This offended the pride OF the web-foOt
state. She wasn't going TO allow any
copper colored country. expansion or no
expansion, rob her OF her well earned
reputation and II needs be. she will
have rainy season all the year round.
The weather outside vas Unusually
stormy yesterday, the latest report nom
the cape giving the velocity OF the
wind at So miles an hour, with heavy
fog prevailing. The British ship Blyths-
wood, from Liverpool, which was re-
ported of the river Friday, was not
sighted at any time during yesterday,
and she is probably we'll out TO sea.
The two government transports, City
OF Rlo de Janeiro and Sikh. crossed in,
the former in the morning and the lat
ter late in the afternoon. The tug SAM
son, with a rock-laden barge In tow
for Grays harbor, went down to the
mouth Of the river. but was unable to
cross out and returned to her dock.
Many OF the smaller pOstotfices OF the
state. which usually carry only a small
supply OF blanks, are using the new
form Of money order adopted by the
department end several have been paid
at the Astoria Office. The new orders
are the size and shape OF an ordinary
hank draft and much more simple than
the old style. The advice is a carbon
copy Of the original and a receipt to
be returned Is given the purchaser after
the manner Of express money orders.
Circulars recently received state that
the department intends reducing the
fees soon. The new features will tend
to still further popularize this method
Of forwarding money. The Astoria Of
fee will begin using the new blanks in
about three weeks.
The schooner Jessie moved down to
the lower harbor yesterday and will
leave out on her deepsea fishing cruise
as soon as the weather settles. The
Jessie is in command Of Captain Hen
derson and carries crew Of IA men,
and is provided with six dories. Dick
Carruthers and Mr. Belshaw are also
on board. The Jessie will go to the
halibut banks of Cape Flattery and
from there move on to those off Cape
Fox. She carries 10 tons of ice and has
a months provisions on board, and II
is expected that she will return In
about three weeks. She is well pre-
pared for the trip and win doubtless
bring back a good fare Of deepsea fish.

CHEMISTRY OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

Subject of C. w. Whittlesey's Lecture
at Boardman Yesterday-The First of
the Series.
The series of noon lectures at the
Boardman Manual Training school was
inaugurated yesterday afternoon, the
first of the series being Charles W..
Whittlesey's lecture on the Chemistry
of Photography" This lecture had al
ready been delivered before the New
Haven Photographic society, and was
repeated at the request of Principal
Mather.
Mr.. Whittlesey slletched briefly the
history of photography in the main and
illustrated his text as it progressed
with experiments, both visual and in
the optical lantern. The speaker ez-
planned clearly some of the phenomena
of light and photogra ply by means of
some of the simpler Photographic pro-
cesses, and led up to the preparation
and use of the wonderful gelatino-br bro
mide of silver plate, the dry plate which
makes snapshot work SO popular De-
velopment. intensification fixing and
printing in their theoretical aspects We're
also touched upon by Mr.. Whittlesey in
brief manner. An interesting feature
of the lecture was the development and
fixing of plate in the lantern.
The lecture was enthusiastically re-
ceived.

court of justice to-day decided prompt

two 60o-ton golfers. The amount is 10
per cent. of the total sum, a53,00O, for
which the ship brokers agreed on April
21 to deliver the golfers.

preparations to fit out the ships. They
testified that they sounded the foreign
office on the subject, and were informed
that they might be liable under the for

their contract.
The justice said they did what he
hoped any English gentleman would do
under the circumstances. He himself
believed that war existed on April d.

that the brokers acted in bad faith.

ENT.ERTAINMEN1,S.
Hyperion Thenter.

Miss Della Fox and her company ap-
peared at the Hyperion last evening in
new musical comedy by Edgar Smith
and Louis de Lange, entitled 1.-The Lit
tie Host" The production was under
the efficient management of Nat Roth.
Miss Fox's qualities are we'll known
She is a curious mixture of the roue
and the ingenue. The programme
styled her 'the popular American come
dienne" and as that is official, it must
be right. The piece was evidently not
designed to appeal to refined and cu1-
tured" audiences Its gentle quibs and
sallies are fashioned for a seasoned
palate and imply a certain superficial
acquaintance with the "Tenderloin.'
The situations are not without hunor,
and good character acting in the per-
Torrance. II is bibulous affair and
lively to a degree. Miss Fox was anus
ing and vivacious and made a great
success with the audience which was
large and enthusiastic. She was well
supported by r. e. Graham, Hugh
Chilvers, Eugene O'Rourke and John
C. Slavin among others.
CALLAHAN IN FAUST TONIGHT.
j. Callaghan and his fine company will
present Faust" at the Hyperion to-
night. Mr.. Callahan's name is ia
miliar to theatergoers. He has won by
hard work an honored place in the pro-
fession and his experience and training
have eminently fitted him for the role
of Mephistopheles, difficult as it is Mr..
Callahan gives an original impersona-
ton of this part, and has received the
warmest praise for his work, as shown
by the verdict from other places. The
supporting company are all competent
and have been carefully selected for
their qualifications to play the different
parts. Every scene is elaborate and to
correctly present them all requires a
vast amount of mechanism, which has
been provided. Then the apotheosis is
a beautiful set and one of the finest
ever placed on the stage. Sale of seats
now open. Prices popular, 15c, 25c, 35c
and SOC.
