Approval.


The suggestion Of Judge Bowlby. pub
lished in the AstOrian few days ago,
In which the widening Of some Of AS
toria's streets Is recommended. has
called forth considerable comment and
Judge Bowlby enjoys the satisfaction
Of learning that his suggestion has met
with almost universal approval In this

his idea but these objections have been
voiced TO some extent by property-own-
ers who have selfish interests at stake
In the opposite directioii.
The Astorian is in receip. OF a let.
ter from F. l.. Parker, bearing on the
subject. as follows:
ASTORIA. July 20.-Editor Astorian:

by Judge Bowlby in this mornings
Astorian. The streets Of Astoria are
too narrow
III the city can vacate, legally, for
permanent occupancy. twenty feet OF
the north side OF Duane street, / am
ready and will at a moments notice
dedicate twenty feet off the north end

therefor viz:
LOT 8 in block 13l. and lots and
Of block l35. Sbively's Astoria. located
at the corner Of Fifteenth and Com

The streets OF Astoria are too num-
erous as well as to narrow.

ANCIENT VASES FROM CEBD.
roryp IN RUINS on THE ISLAND
OF MINDANAo.
sent TO j. II. sherk, OF Coiumhia, by
william Thomas in the Philip
pines-Cane Made From Billiard
Cue That Campos Played with.

]. T. Sherk who lives near Columbia,
has received from william Thomas. now
al Cebu. Philippine islands, two curios.
handsome vases Of native manufacture
Mr. Thomas may be remembered by peo-
ple OF Seattle as the man who was
thought TO have taken yellow fever from
cuba TO Hampton roads.
The vases are made of bone. apparently
either OF a monster fish or OF some giant
animal that roamed the antediluvian
world The vases are six inches long,
and artisticauy carved in images OF vines,
flowers and fruit. Mr.. Thomas writes
that they were discovered in the ruins
Of an ancient native fort on the island
of Mindanao by six prospectors, who were
later captured by the F'ilipinos and held
in captivity six weeks. Mr. Thomas let
ter also states chat the Philippines are the
home Of lepers. but that the disease does
not seem 10 be contagious.
Another Spanish war relic in the possess
sion Of Mr. Sherk is a silver-headed cane
made from a billiard cue taken from
Moro castle Havana. IL was also pre-
scented 10 him by Mr., Thomas. The stick
from which the cane was made Is said 10
have been the faVorite cue Of Gov. Gen.
Campos, the predecessor Of Gen. Weyler.
when he went 10 the fort to play the
game and forget his troubles From the
shane and size OF the stick an expert
would suspect that billiards in Spanish
required as much main strength as a man
al bat in baseball. or that Campos didn't
know q billiard cue when he saw one.
