Mecca of the Teachers.

Newport is to haye a summer
normal school and Seaside lecture
course this season. State Super
intendest Ackerman, of Salem,
and several other prominent edu-
Gators have just returned from
Newport and announce that the
prospects for a large attendance
OF teachers at the great seaside
auditorium is most fattering, and
that the best instructors to be had
will be timely secured, There
will be, Ist, teachers review
course; 2nd, a general scientific,
literary and art course; 3rd,
round table instruction; 4th, sea-.
side attractions; a course of ten
popular evening lectures. Super
tendents Denman and Bethers
have already signifed a deter
mination to take hold Of the great
educational symposium at this
celebrated watering place, and
encouraging letters are coming in
from all parts of the state.
: The County School Superin-
tendent Of Linn will hold the
annual institute at Newport and
during the term of the Summer
/ School, and will hold his exam
inations there, thus giving teach
:ers from every portion of the
state an opportunity to take their
examination there without being
compelled to return home before
the close of the vacation season.
Efforts will also be made to per-
feet satisfactory arrangements for
county certificates from other
counties. This arrangement will
be appreciated by the teachers
throughout the state as giving
them advantages hitherto impos.
sible.
The popular course of ten lec-
lures will offer attraction and edi-
fcation to the great mass of visit
ors who will naturally assemble
at Newport during this season of
the year. It is believed that so
large a number will be present
that the season tickets to the lee
ture coures can be sold at 81
each. Special opportunities and
inducements will be offered to
such persons as signify an inten-
ton to attend the normal school
and lectures. Tenting facilities
will be afforded visitors, ladies as
well as gentlemen, where they
will be under the protection and
influence of refined families.
Special rates will be offered those
who hold season tickets; and as
the Statesman says 'Everything
will be done to make Newport
the Mecca of the teachers of Ore
gon during the summer months

Three Questions.

Before purchasing piano or organ
there are few questions it is well to
consider. First: Is the instrument made
to use or simply to sell? Second: Is
the the tone, action and finish first class2
Third: Is the price reasonable? Cheap
instruments are expensive at any price.
Why? Because they never give 'satis-
faction, being constructed Of the cheap
est material hastily thrown together.
To secure the value of your money there
is one certain way. Buy an instrument
which has not only an established repu-
tation for years. but which has kept up
with every improvement of modern
times. If you then would like such an
instrument with tone, action and fn-
ish unsurpassed, have them, and can
furnish you any at the lowest price.

vetoed, practically, BY Senator
Carter. His. reasons are, moi
fully known, but il is generally
believed that the defeat of the
subsidy bill was no small factor
in the decision of those who re
solved TO put the $50, 900, 600
harbor bill on the shelf. Mr..
Carter has been upheld by some
for his attitude, for the defeated
bill, it is declared. contained
many provisions which were
rather salty. 1t seems danger
Gus thing to give one man, un-
less he have the responsibility of
the president himself, the power
to defeat legislation desired by
both ., houses, and it is hardly
creditable for senator to take
advantage of that power unless
something far more dangerous
and harmful than the river and

the temperance of Senator

the departure of Senator Nc
Bride, who has won the warm
regard Of the Influential senators
and proved himself a very capa-
bic and useful member of the

senator has done for Oregon will
never be known, and will never
be appreciated at home. His at

Senator Simon and Represen-
tative Moody are more fortunate
than their colleagues, in one re-
spect: Mr.. Dunn, Oregon's spec
ial correspondent, has as one of
his duties special chronologing
of the work and doings of Sena-
tor Simon. Since his work is
reviewed from friendly stand
point, the senator is. free frem
any anxiety that the people at
home will not be informed as to
what he is accomplishing. Mr..
Moody's private secretary, Mr..
Brown, is Mr.. Dunn's assistant,

CiaI, at t1tc National Capital.

+ EDITOR GAzETTE:-'The sec
ond Inauguration of, President
Mckinley was accompanied by
such display and festivities as
was becoming this prosperous
era. There was General Miles
in his new uniform, and many
other features too numerous to
mention. The parade was a
three hour affair, largely military
and contained several attractions,
such as the West Point cadets,
and the boys from Annapolis,
and a battalion of American
troops composed of native Porto
Ricans.' The weather fellow
used his best endeavors to spoil
things, but the Inauguration as
a whole was said by those who
have seen former ones, to have
been a success. ..--.
E. w nateVef may be the idea at
home, 1t is the unanimous opln-
ion of all the newspapers Of all
kinds of politics, that the re-
turn Of Senator Mitchell to the
national congress was a splendid
solution of the apparent Oregon
deadlock. While the senator,
in theory, will come into the
senate as new member, yet he
stands SO we'll with his old asso-
ciates that he is certain to OBJ
tain such committee assignments
as he may desire. It was
rumored here that toward the
close of the Oregon legislative
session a number of the older
senators Of both parties prevailed
upon Senator Jones, chairman of
the national democratic commit
tee to telegraph the Oregon DEM
ocratic legislators, urging them
to vote for Mitchell. l do not
know how true this story is, but
even the rumor will illustrate
the strength of Oregon's new
senator.

Whatever the political autage-
nism of the past, it is very proba.
BILE that the Oregon delegation
will work very harmoniously, so
far, at least, as concerns legisla-
tioa for the state. Patronage
questions also will, doubtless, be
settled without much clashing.
The engagement of E. S. Will
lard, the English actor, was the
artistic success of Washington
this season. Miss Maud Hof-
man, Mr.. Wizards leading lady,
shared in the hono1s Of the star.
She is one Of the most artistic
and natuta1 actresses, and one OF
the handsomest wemen on the
stage today. Miss Hoffman does
not expect to star for at least two
more seasons. She was taken
siek in Washington, and re-
mained here a week after he1
company left, joining her troape

south Sea SuperstitiOns,

In the south sea islands the old gods
are still very close to present life,
despite the vigorous profession Of the
newer faith which the missionaries
have introduced. On village green's the
stone churches rise into prominence.
The people are unremitting in their
attendance upon the services, wearing
clean white shirts and gaudy bonnets,
according to the sex Of the worship
ers, and carrying their Bibles and
hymnbooks wrapped In spotless hand
kerchiefs. But in the jungles and on
the waters no Samoan quite forgets
his ancestral gods, the powers of ma
ture. and In the domain of the hunter
and the fisher these old gods reign
supreme.
Moralists may not assume to blame
them as untutored savages practicing
absurd superstitions of an inferior race,
for If any moralist will only 60 a-fish-
