OUR REPUTATION ABROAD.

ssNo town in the state of Ore
gon has had more unjust caluinny
heaped upon it than has Corval-
lis" said Col. Holt in converse
ton with the GAZETTE man yes
terday. ''From the reputation of
your rcity, gained abroad, expect
ed to find a little hell Oh earth
here. Imagine my surprize, when
I learned from personal expert
ence that the moral atmosphere
of this community was exception
ably pure. No place in the Uni
ted States has given me more
earnest and respectful attention,
or attended my meetings more
literally. The number of sign
ers of the pledge has been Won
full; $50 already andy will have
$50 before the meetings close.
So far as lies in my power I shall
correct this unjust impression,
and I reach the ear of a great
many people,
The GAzE1Tf is not surprised
at the condition spoken -of by
Col. Holt. We have told our
readers that such a condition ex-
lists and informed them of the|
reason for it. It is due to articles
eminating from our own city,
which are readily believed by1
those unfamiliar with the facts,
and given wide circulation by
the press Of the state. Misde-
meanors of small importance have
been padded and enlarged into
column articles. Petty viola
tions of the law, winked at else
where, have been placed under
microscope, and published with
every detail distorted. When
items of this nature were ex-
hausted new ones have been i'm
agined, and mysterious hints
have been dropped of delicate
morsels of sensation in process
of incubation. Evils exist in
every community. There should
be and are proper methods for
correcting them. Newspaper ad.
,vertising is not one of them.

During the late campaign, the
Eugene Guard had columns of
sympathy for the poor travelling
men who had been forced out Of
employment by the trusts. A
few days ago the American Type
Founders trust had the nerve to
GO into the Guard office and
seduce one of its employees into
going on the road as represen-
tative of that trust. Here is tn e
irony of fate.

their way to ITALY after tour Of the
world. In India they were entertained
by naharajas in oriental style and
hunted lions and wild bears. The suf-
ferings of the famine stricken natives
are terrible, they say. Starved to mere
skeletons, they dig in the earth for
roots and seeds to feed upon Al
though the English are doing much to
alleviate the suHerings, it is difficult
task, for caste prejudice interferes and
it is hard to keep them at the reliev-

for. The Italians spent two months in
Japan, and say the japanese are only
waiting a favorable time for entering
the conflict with Russia, which they
consider inevitable. a

Cover Furniture with Muslin.

The French housewives love Of fine
fabrics is only equaled by her solicit
tude for their preservation, and her
thrifty mind has been at work all win
ter devising some plan by which 'she
could rent her elegantly appointed
apartment" to rich foreigners in Paris
for the exposition, and yet keep her
fine brocaded furniture fresh and fair
for her own future use and pleasure.
AS usual, her ingenuity proved itself
equal to the emergency, and now the
big hotels, as we'll as the most e&pen-
sive of the apartments meublees have
adopted her idea. Every chair and
sofa is covered with white spotted
muslin. The effect is fresh, clean and
