war in the Philippines.

ocean commerce in consequence Of the
war in the Philippines.
Yet in spite Of these unusual eondi-
tlons, such falling of in Columbia
river commerce is apparent from con-
trast with former and less prosperous
years that universal concern should be
excited throughout Oregon and imme-
diate action taken by her business men
a,fi boards Of trade to stop further
diversion not only OF their naturally
tributary trade, but for obtaining some
share in the unprecedented increase
shown by the published figures from
other sections of the Pacific coast.
From January to December 81, 1899,
as shown by President Van Dusen, the
total nur, Der Of steam and sailing ves-
sells clearing from the Columbia river
for foreign ports was 126, with 214.35O
aggregate tonnage. In 1898 the total
of foreign clearances was 1s2 vessels,
aggregating sO2.Ss9 tons; a decrease
for 1899 of IS vessels and $3.50 tons.
The foreign entrances for 1899 were
s3 vessels. of 153,272 tons. while the
number of foreign vessels entering in
1898 was 1Is and their tonnage 227, ,4Os;
showing a decrease of 50 vessels and
64.1S4 entering tons in 1899.
Nor can this startling decline be ac-
counted cor in the low price of wheat
or the falling off in the export de-
mand. for an even greater ratio Of
loss appears in coastwise trade than
that of foreign. During the year
1899 the total coastwise vessels enter
ing the Columbia river was 4O5 and
their aggregate tonnage S7s.O36. while !
in 1898 the coastwise entries were 511 |
vessels Of 4SO.76O tons; a decline Of 1Os
coastwise vessels or 1O1, 724 tons in 1899.
In 1899 coastwise vessels to the num-
Der Of $50 cleared the Columbia river,
their tonnage being 1850, when in
1895 the number Of such clearances
was 45S vessels and 465, ,716 tons; the
decrease for 1899 being 102 vessels and
94,15s tons.
Finally, summarizing these various
forms Of decline, we find, first, the |
showing Of total loss in both coast
wise and foreign clearances in 1899
amounting to 1873 vessels and 1S2,7O5 !
tons. Second, "a falling off in both !
foreign and coastwise vessels entering
the river Of 15s vessels, aggregating
15J,85s tons; and, third, we have the !
appalling exhibit Of grand total !
net decline in Columbia river deep
sea commerce Of all kinds, foreign !
and coastwise, inward and outward
bound, during the single year of 1899
the best year ever known at other
Pacific coast ports-of 294 vessels and
34S,568 tons!
Can there be any doubt in Oregon
that in the light of these figures there
is cause for alarm, and that the time
when there must be united action on
the part of her people in defense of the
states commercial interests has come?

History Of the MarseilIaise.

Rouget de PIs!e's share in this ia.
nous song amounts to the first six
strophes. He did not write a single
note of the music, though he lacked the
courage to avow the truth. The music
was composed by Alexandra Boucher
a celebrated viOlinist, in the year 1880
In the drawing-room of Madame de-
Mortaigne, at the request of a colone
whom he had never met before, anc
whom he never saw again. Rouget de-
rIsle was an officer in the Engineers
and was for well-known reasons i'm
prisOned In 1901. 1t was from thii
prison that he heard the stirring march
and at the request Of his jailer he
adapted to the tune the words Of q
patriotic song he was then writing
Some time after the Marseillaise had
won fame for the young officer he met
Alexandra Boucher at a dinner party
in Paris. The violinist congratulated
the young patriot on the success of his
poem, laying stress on the word poem.
You don't say a word about the
music" remarked de PIsle, and then,
in a moment Of unwonted candor, he
admitted that the music was not his
own composition. Boucher thereupon
modestly informed DE Plsle that the
march was his composition
They embraced each other fondly, a
only Frenchman can. When De PIsls
recovered from the shock he naively
"Your music and my words
go SO well together that they seem to
have sprung simultaneously from the
same brain. and the world. even II !
proclaimed my Indebtedness to you,
would never believe II"

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.

The Pennsylvania State Christian En-
deavor Convention will be held in this
city November 20. 21 and 22d next. The
day sessions will be held in Grace Tenn
pie, Broad and Berks streets, and such
adjoining churches as may be necessary
to accommodate the Endeavorers. The
place for holding the evening sessions
has not been decided. and Will not be
until the changes being made in the
Exposition Building are completed. The
State officers and the local committee
In charge Of the arrangements held a
conference last night, at which MANY
OF the preliminary details were settled.
1t Is the expectation of the State off,
GERS. from information received from
the surrounding States and from Chris
tian Endeavor headquarters, that the
Pennsylvania convention will be more
Of the character of an international
convention. 1t will, without doubt be
the largest Endeavor convention held
in this country this year, and the
speakers will be the best to be obtained.

The Duty OF the Rich.

1.-THE rich man has no more right to
repose than the poor. He is as much
bound to labor as the poor; not to labor
In the same way, but to labor as real.
ly, as efficiently, as intensely. am
tempted to say more intensely, because
he has q sphere 30 much wider and
nobler opened to him. No man has Q
right to seek property In order that h
may enjoy, may lead life Of indulg.
ence, may throw all toll on another class
Of society. This world was not made
for ease. Its great law is action, and
action for the good Of others still more
than for our own. This is its law, and
we violate 1t only to our own misery
and guilt."-William Ellery Charming

was Of an obsolete pattern, and. while

HER OPPORIUNITY.

81 ICK, what chance have for sue.
Ucess? What opportunity to do

without a tone Of resentment In her

them In q corner Of the building beyont
her reach. While she thought with tn,

spread to the festoons. Then she con
ceived her plan.
In q second she was upon her knees
She half-crawled across the piazza neos
until her outstretched hand could reach
her crutchss. She slipped them under
her shoulders and swung back across
the piazza. Not a soul was near to helr
her, and her quick instinct told the girl
that q scream would create . panic n
the crowded ballroom. The nre danced
along the paper festoon.
How she ever did 1t she could never
afterward tell, but it seemed a divine
strength aided her strong arms as she
climbed upon the piazza rail. With ont

stretched the other toward the blasting

she turned and gave him her hand
without saying a word.
1t Is needless to tell what followed
Virginia Howper found her popularity
