The society beaux who during the past
season have enjoyed the hospitality OF
the Friday Fortnightlys returned the com
pliment by giving the young ladies OF the
select club a delightful dance at Cottllon
Hall Friday night. Unlike the usual Fort
nightly gatherings, the affair was not
german, but a cotillon. Mrs. Gordon
Blanding, Mrs. Eleanor Martin, mrs MIS-
Henry l., Dodge, Mrs. William l. Kip,
Mrs. William McAfee and Mrs Monroe
Salisbury acted as chaperones. The dance

HISTORY AND
ART BEAUTIFUL
IN COMBINATION
Realistic Panorama of
Battle of Manila.
PERFECTION IN DETAIL
ENTERTAINMENT APPEALS TO
ALL AMERICANS.
Central Park the Scene of Great Sea
Fight That Borders So Closely
on Realism as to Almost
Deceive.
ENTERTAINMENT APPEALS TO
ALL AMERICANS.

An entertainment Of historic and artistic
interest was opened by the Interstate
Panorama Company for the people Of San
Francisco yesterday in the Panorama Of
Manila Bay at Central Park A private
view was given in the early part of the
afternoon, and later the general public
was admitted. 1t is safe to say that
every one who saw it derived from the
picture not only a clearer idea of the
great sea fight. but the genuine pleasure
that always comes from the contempla-
ton Of good work well done in the crea-
ton of ideals of beauty.
This panorama is more attractive than
any former battle picture, inasmuch as
the scene itself is one of picturesque and
romantic loveliness. The earth has few
combinations Of sea and shore more fair
than that which makes up the wide bay
of Manila and the little harbor of Cavite,
and at the time of the battle the view was
presented under it's divinest aspect. 1t
was early mornng-the hour when land
and sea are freshest and fairest Misty
vapors f1oated about the sky, the distant
shores presented a varied view through
the hazy air and every wave cleaned in
tints Of emerald and pearl.
The panorama is presented from point
of view just opposite Cavite and along the
line taken by the American warships as
they steamed back and forth during the
fight The time is the moment when
Dewey gives the signal to close up The
answering signal is displayed on each
ship. The American fleet is near the
spectator, who stands, as it We're, in the
midst of It, On one side, not far away,
are seen the Spanish fleet and the town
and harbor Of Cavite. On the opposite
side, far off and dim in the distance, are
the merchant vessels and foreign ships
in the bay, and beyond them, out of a
mass Of buildings, clear in the sunlight,
rise the towers of Manila.
Beautiful as is the background of the
scene, the center of interest is of course
the battle itself. The great ship Olympia
holds the foremost place. Her massive
PROV is so near the spectator that he can
almost touch it with outstretched hand.
1t is the largest representation of ship
ever presented in a panorama, and its
creation is one of the supremest triumphs
of the art Of Illusion. Not all of 1t Is on
canvas. Much of the body of the ship and
some Of the gun turrets and guns are pro-
iections from the picture, but IT will puzzle
the acutest observer to determine where
the realism ends and the illusion or art
begins.

uniformity in the spelling Of names. What
more natural, although he spells the sylla-
bles of his surname Bar-na-bee, that some
remote progenitor wrote Bar-na-by. Still
further on another undoubtedly wrote
Bar-no-by and some other in the misty
ages when they fought better than they
spelled had it Bar-no-b o-bo-dy. Most nat
ural conclusion in the world.
That this is the true derivation of the
name no sane person can doubt who has
seen the comedian sit into a game of
poker. Therefore, with the blood of the
Bar Nobody of the ages in his veins. is ii
any wonder that a childiike comedian like
Barnabee should fall? It is nothing more
nor less than atavism. He could not help
it, especially when the tempter came in
the person of William Broderick. the ro-
bust basso of the company, who looks.
but is not. the easiest mark that ever
came over the pike.
The fall came on Sunday at the end Of
the fifth week of the present tour, while
the company was being whirled over the
rails to the next stand. All the new
stories and most Of the old ones had been
retold for the purpose of Willing away
the hours and things were getting mo-
notonous. Broderick, who was new man
in the Bostonans, had leaning to poker,
and knew Barnabee's fondness for the
given by the comedian, and while he
fairly ached to get Barnabee into a game,
his native modesty-he is suspected of
having had his origin in Chicago-pre-
vented him from making the first ad-
vance. The terrible dullness of that Sun
day, however, was too much for him, and
he decided to break the ice
Join US in a little gamer" he asked
Barnabee, after having consulted with
several other members of the party.

Barney exclaimed Mrs. Barnabee,
reproachfully, 'your promise!'
"Oh, know all about that. I'm not go
ing to break it, I'll just sit in and give
these young fellows a lesson and cure
them forever of tempting their Uncle Bar
ney into a game"
He was fully satisfied that Broderlck
was the easy mark he took him for and
his face was Wreathed with smiles as he
sat in with the basso and two others He
patted the cards lovingly as he made the
first cut, and when 1t came to his turn to
deal he wanted to be so good that he
dealt extra pasteboards to everybody at
Here" said Broderick "Misdeal. I've
got one card too many. Pass the deal!'
Not much, William" replied the
dealer. 81 gave you too many just to see
if you knew anything at all about the
game"
The poor opinion of Brodericks ability
as a player expressed by this remark
seemed to be borne out from the very
start. The i'll luck that proverbially at
tends the proposer of a game fastened on
Broderick, and the best he could get was
the worst of it, greatly to the delight OF
Barnabee, who was rakng in most of the
money, the other players being content to
fill in and watch the others duel.
These lessons are expensive, William, -
remarked Barnabee in his blandest tones
as he raked in a jackpot containing six
or seven of Brodericks dollars. They
come high, but US young fellows must
have them"

Yaquina destined for San Francisco,
which we were obliged to haul back TO
Albany and ship all rail in order 70
carry out the provisions of our bills OF
lading.
From that time until last September
we were unable to get any vessels that
were suitable for this trade. This is
the only year since ! came here that
we have not been badly blocked and
had from 1000 TO 2000 tons more OF
wheat on our tracks than we could get
out of YaQuna promptly.
What ! wish to impress upon you ls
the fact that had the Government gone
on with this work and enabled the
owners Of this road to determine on
the class of vessels that would be suit
able for this route they would nave
been built and operated. Further, the
interests Of San Francisco in keeping
the YamIina route open are Identical
with that Of the whole Willamette VAL
lev. Further, the extension of the road
eastward TO the inland empire OF East
ern Oregon has been held up by the in
activitv of the Government; and un-
p less this harbor is improved as con-
templated and promised, it is ques-
tionable in nv mind whether the own
ers will ever deem it eXpedient TO eA-
tend the line over the mountains.
If San Francisco desires the trade or
the Willamette Valley and the suDse-
CI1ent opportunity of controlling the
trade of Crook, Malheur, Harvey ana
other counties east of the CASCADE
range. there is no other way. to accom-
nIIsh it but by fostering this enter
prise.

WHAT STATISTICS
HAVE PROVEN!
What Medical Science Has Accomplished.
THIS GREAT DISCOVERY is OFFERED FREE
TO "CALL' READERS

Statistics prove that more people are
brought to the grave by diseases of the
kidneys and bladder than by any other
disease.
Kidney trouble is in itself so insidious
and deceptive that thousands have
some form of it and never suspect it.
For many years medical science has
been trying to discover some remedy
that would positively overcome these
dangerous troubles.
But not until recently was the dis
covery made. DR.. Kilmer, the eminent
physician and scientist, after years Of
study and research, and after test on
test that never varied in the grand
result, announced the discovery OF
Swamp Root, which has proven itself
most wonderful cure for all diseases
of the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp Root has proved such
remarkable success in curing kidney
and bladder diseases, 1t has also proved
equally invaluable IN the cure of blood
diseases, rheumatism, liver and stom-
ach troubles and in the regulation and
cure Of all uric acid troubles.
Swamp Root has been tested in so
many ways, in hospital work, In private
practice, among the helpless, too poor
to purchase relief, and has proved so
successful in every case that a special
arrangement has been made by which
all readers of the Call who have not
already tried it, may have free sam
pie bottle Of Swamp-Root and thus test
for themselves its wonderful curative
properties.
If you will send your name and full
address to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y, sample bottle will be
sent, absolutely free by mail, postpaid,
also a book telling more about Swamp
Root and containing some of the thou
sands upon thousands Of testimonial
letters received from people who owe
their good health, in fact, their very
lives, to the wonderful curative prop
critics of Swamp-Root.
This great modern discovery is for
sale at most drugstores in fifty-cent
and one-dollar sizes. Don't make any
mistake. but make a note of the name,
SWAMP-ROOT, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, and remember that it is prepared
only by Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. Y.

promise into smithereens almost by the
express permission of Mrs. Barnabee and
the further conviction that Broderick was
such tyro at the game that he could not
help winning. The luck of the beginner
has passed into an axiom, and Barnabee
made up his mind that he would get even
later. Since that time the comedian has
been 'poking' steadily among the mem
bers of the company, with the result, un-
less a remarkable run of luck sets in, that
he will have to write at the end of this,
as he has at the close of every previous
season, endless checks for US, which
pass current in the Bostonian continuous
poker game for coin Of the realm.
Can you blame him, with the unadul-
terated sporting blood in his veins of a
thousand Barnabees descended from the
first Bar Nobody?

DAY or so before Henry Clay Bar
n nabee of the Bostonians started on
- the road this season, Mrs. Barnabee
- - extracted from him a promise that
he would refrain from poker She
pointed out the fact that the hot end of
that article had burned large holes in his
pockets during previous tours, and told
him that it should point a moral. He ac-
knowledged the correctness of his wife's
observations and solemnly gave his word
that lie would have no more of 1t.
The comedian reckoned without taking
into consideration the sporting blood in
his veins, or the indubitable evidence of
danger in his own name. The sheerest
study of comparative nomenclature would
have satisfied him that his promise was
futile. He admits that he is descended
from long line of ancestors, some of

Albert Meier was struck by the psssen-

He thought he could get across before
the train came upon him, but he failed
by several rods. He got out of the way
as best he could by crawling out on the
timbers. He carried pack on his back
which came in contact with the cylinder
head OF the engine and as a result the
old man WAS knocked against the timbets
receiving some terrible cuts about the
head and face. The train was stopped
and the injured man was loaded on and
taken to Ellensburg where he was
patched ny by a surgeon and sent on his
way rejoicing.

Is the Populist Party SwaIlowedp
PRossER, Aug q. 1899.

EDITOR HERALD: In your issue o. last
week you quote from the Ellensbure
Dawn, wherein he makes some state.
ments and draws some conclusions which
will not hold water. He infers that the
democratic party of three years ago was
in worse plight than the populists Of
today.
Brother Turner. the democratic party
was "never dead as door nail" but the
peoples party of today is. 1t is the old,
old story-a la greenbackers. The fusion
of the greenback party with the demo
Gratis for office did the work. The fusion
OF the populists has done the same thing.
Your error is this, that instead of the
"populists picking up the democrats and
giving them few fat jobs" the demo-
Gratis, like the serpent dining on an OK.
first fabricated the populist party and
then slowly and surely swallowed it.
