Greek Marriage Customs.

The marriage in Constantinople of
an Englishman and a Greek woman
entails three wedding ceremonies. To
be legal it must be performed at the
consulate. The couple are legally mar
ried there the first day, and on the next
church ceremony is performed in the
English church, while the Greek re-
Hgious ceremony which follows is cele-
DRAFTED at the brides home The last
is the only legal form of marriage as
far as the bride is concerned.
In the Greek ceremony no ring is
used, but the best man places a wreath
bound with white satin ribbons on the
heads Of bride and bridegroom. Then,
while the priest is pronouncing the
words of the service, the couple walk
around him in circle three times,
holding candles, the best man at inter-
walls changing the wreaths from one to
the other. When all is over, the friends
throw small coins or tokens of gold and
silver over the welded pair, and gen.
eral scramble ensues among those pres
ent to secure the tokens

why a Horse Eats often.

The horse can conveniently eat for
twenty hours out of the twenty-four.
A horse which is in good health has a
good appetite at all times and is able
to stand plenty Of work and is rarely
on the sick list. To be a good feeder,
especially on a journey, is a great rec
ommendation i'll the opinion of every
good judge of horsefiesh. The reason
of a horse being such a constant eater
is that it's stomach is really small in
proportion to the size of it's body, and
less than four times a day, two of
which should be early in the morning
and at night, while hay should in the
stall be always within it's reach.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

The Japanese practice refined cruelty
to delight their palates. They believe
that the fish called the dai is most de-
licious when eaten alive. An expert
Japanese carver can dexterously re-
move fve-sixths of the edible matter
from it's bones without touching 81 vital
part. During this cruel operation the
fish is kept alive by wet seaweed which,
being placed over it's gills, enables it to

Harmony ON Irrigation

Representative E. J. Burkett of Ne
braska talked to the president the 9TH
er morning about irrigation of western
arid lands. He found the president
hearty advocate of national aid for
this purpose. The western representa-
tives in congress have held several con-
ferences the past summer to try to har-
monte on an acceptable measure for
presentation to congress. Mr. Burkett
has been the president of the gather
ings, which have resulted in an under
standing that the western congress
men are to press irrigation legislation
from start to finish. So many sugges-
tons have been made about irrigation
and there have been SO many bills be-
fore congress that there was never be-
fore any chance for action. The west
ern congressman are going to do better
from now on and are in high hopes of
being successful.

A. Lincoln MemOrA al.

Senator Cullom of Illinois proposes
TO introduce a bill in the senate pro-
viding for an appropriate memorial to
Abraham Lincoln. to be erected in this
city.
II wish to see a memorial that is ap-
propriate and commensurate with the
great life of Abraham Lincoln" he
said to a Star reporter.
The location, cost and form which
this memorial is to take are matters
that he regards of secondary impor-
lance.
Senator Cullom's bill will provide
that the memorial of Lincoln be located
in accordance with the plans of the
park commission. and he hopes a fit
ting design may be obtained by means
of competition. in which the greatest
artists of the world can be induced to
compete.
Some of the cabinet houses have been
open for some weeks to callers on
Wednesdays. but the regular public re-
ceptions will not begin before Jan. 1.
Time has made sorrowful changes in
the cabinet circle since this time last
year, and little gayety can be expected
from that branch of official service.

BURGLAR BOUND OVER,
Wilson Waves Examination and Admits
Guilt.

George Wilson, the Seaside burglar,
charged with breaking into several cot
tages at the beach, was before Justice
Of the Peace Brewer yesterday. charged
with entering the house Of G. II. Coop
er. The prisoner waived examination
and he was bound over to appear at
the next session OF the circuit court,
which will be May 9Th.
The prisoner Is somewhat OF a mys-
terry. Without doubt ne shrewdly plan
ned the burglaries charged to him and
executed his plans with unusual sue
cess. Residents of Seaside never saw
him. and where he spent the time not
occupied IN robbing the cottages Is not
known. His crimina.ity was profitable
only TO the extent OF supplying his
daily wants. and incidentally his thirst
for knowledge. From all accounts VIII
son was a vOracious reader and eager

get. Evidence is at hand that he was

light until late hour. The lamps
rays were prevented from penetrating
into the gloom outside by a shade Of
newspaper.
That the name the man gave Is not
his right one is believed by all who
have come in contact with the prisoner.
When asked by Sheriff Linville he said
his name was Olson. then laughed ner-
vously and added. perhaps you had
better make it Wilson" In court when
asked his name he replied Eli" then
checked himself and said Wilson"
The prisoner admits his guilt and is
in hurry for sentence to be imposed.
He asked the other day II Senator c.
W. Fulton lodged complaint against
him. When a negative reply was re-
turned he seemed greatly pleased and
asked the sheriff IL he knew Mr.. Full

know" continued Wilson. "I wish

Importnt Matters Discussed at Last
Nights Meeting.

At a meeting OF the Chamber Of Com
merce last night several matters were
up for consideration. a letter
was received from the Lewiston Com
mcrcial Club. suggesting that Asto-
ria and other cities appoint commit
tees To meet and entertain the con-
gressional committee on rivers and har-
bors which Is scheduled To arrive on
the Pacific coast next June. Other
cities named as proper places for the
appointment Of committees were Spo-
kane Portland Walla Walla. Yakima.
Colfax and Pendleton. The chamber
deferred action on the suggestion until
subsequent meeting
Judge Bowlby broached the idea OF
the establishment OF daily run Of
boats between Astoria and Cathlamet.
He stated that the suggestion came
from Editor Davis. Of the Cathlamet
Gazette who said that the people to be
benefited were dissatisfied with the pres
ent service. Mr.. Davis thought that
boat leaving Cathlamet in the morn
ing and returning. leave Astoria at 2
p. M. would be a desirable arrange
ment. No action was taken but the
matter will probably be taken up again
az the next regular meeting. John f.
Gratke was appointed delegate u the
National Municipal League which meets
in Rochester. May sth to 10th.
President Van Dusen announced that
he had been in conference with Major
