THE PHoNoeRAPH in RUSSIA.
Regarded with Disfavcr by the PO-
lice Authorities

Regarded with Disfavcr by the Po-
lice Authorities
Edison's photograph has had a bat
tie royal with Russian press censorship,
says the Angio-Russian. In the pavilion
of the public gardens in Tagonrog the
machine was exhibited, and attracted
large audiences. 1t played and sang,
and laughed and spoke for some time
undisturbed, until a police officer heard
the machine reciting ~ Of Kriloff's
famous fables, viz: "Demyan's Ukha"
(soup or hospitality, but with some
variations on the original text. The Of
ficer got suspicious, and not trusting
to his memory, he ran at nee and got
Kriloff's book, and came again to listen
to the monographs version of the
fable. To his horror he found the
fable reproduced not at all as it was
passed by the censorship more than half
a century ago.. An alarm was raised at
once, the higher local authorities com
municated with, and the manager of the
pavilion, Mr.. Pa~rafinovitch, was called
upon to explain the behavior of that
speaking American beast. All the poor
manager could do was to open the mys-
FERROUS inside of the criminal machine
and hand over to the authorities the in
discreet cylinder which threatened TO
tell the peaceful inhabitants so many
undesirable things. But the arrest Of
the chief criminal was considered in
sufficient. as it could not have acted
without a human accomp!ice. So, ae-
cording to the Taganrog Viestnik, the
affair has taken its official course, and
the innocent manager of the pavilion
has lost in the mean time his generally
good appetite and sound sleep, as he
does not know il what punishment the
official proceedings viii result, and how
long he will have to wait until his fate
is decided.

DIR. Mary Walker Calls on the Wife
of Gov. Oden During Holding

DR.. Mary Walker, crowned with a
new silk hat and switching a rattan
cane, nearly broke up Mrs. OdelI's "at
home at the executive mansion at
Albany, n. Y, the other afternoon.
The doctor has been at Albany for sew
eral days lobbying in the interest of
her hospital bill. She walked over to
the executive mansion to pay her re-
spects to the wife of the governor and
found 300 prominent Albany society
women there. Elbowing her way be-
tween the stylishly-dressed women
and holding her silk hat in her hand,
she grasped Mrs. Odell by the hand
and said: MRS. Odell, 1 am DR.. Mary
Walker. / called over 10 pay my re-
spects. 1 should like to see the gov
ernor if he is at home"
''The governor is at the capitol" said
Mrs. Odell, pleasantly.
$50 sorry" murmured the doctor.
81 am also sorry" said Mrs. 0dell.
"Will you not go through the mansion
and inspect it"
The doctor would and did, followed
by nearly every other wOman in the
reception-room.

JANECk BLOCK BURNED.
W. E. Ayres' Drug Store Totally Destroyed
Drs Rosser & Stephenson Losers

Drs. Rosser & Stephenson Losers.
The Janeck building on Yakima
avenue was Quilted by fire last Thursday
morning, resulting in loss of about
$4,000. w. E. Ayres' drug store was
totally destroyed, DR.. David Rosser's
office furniture and fixtures on the
second floor were practically ruined, and
DR.. J. F. Stephenson, dentist, suffered a
loss of nearly 5000. Mr.. Ayres' loss will
amount to about $ll 900, DR.. Rosser's at
5000 and the damage to the building
about $4,000, with sufficient insurance to
cover all losses.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
1t was discovered by DIR. Wells who
sleeps in a room over Rand's meat mar
ket. He was awakened by the sound of
breaking glass and got up and looked
out the window. As soon as he saw the
light of the fire he aroused Volney Taft,
sleeping in an adjoining room, who gave
the alarm.
| When discovered the fire was under
great Roadway and flames were shooting
out the front and rear windows, which
had been knocked out by an explosion
on the inside.
The fire company responded promptly
and did good service. The chemical
engine was given thorough test and its
efficiency was proved beyond doubt.
1t was very effective in keeping the blaze
in check in the rear, while in the front
the firemen kept two streams of water
at high pressure pouring on the flames
The firemen saved the building from
total destruction and possibly good
part of the block During the fire the
door.of Charles McEwen's saddle shop
an old frame structure, was broken open
by some good intentioned person to save
the goods. The building had taken fire
several times but it was saved entire.
The insurance adjusters arrived here
the first OF the week tc settle with tn.
losers. The building will be repaired
Immediately and will again be occupied
by Mr.. Ayres for drug store.
Beck, the photographer, also sustained
a loss in the Yellow Drug Store, losing q
frame of fine pictures.

Queen Esther Cantata.

Prof. NJ. Edwin Robinson, director Of
the cantata "Queen Esther" desires to
direct a chorus in this city in this can
tata. He has given very successful per-
formances in Tacoma, Everett and other
cities in this state, as well as in Montana
and Idaho. He carries his own cos
tunes, which are said to be rich ones,
and also, it is understood furnishes the
music copies. The benefit derived from
such drill as the presentation of this
cantata would afford would be great,
both from a musical and dramatic stand
point. All singers who are willing to
give the necessary time for rehearsals
will please send or bring their names to
George 5. Vance as early as possible.
Other places are after the professor, and
if he comes here at all he must be Sc
cured at once.

In the afternoon joint meeting of the
cattle and sheep men was held relative
to proper division of the reserve graz
ing land. May Is was set as the last day
in which to file applications for grazing,
and on that date allotments will be made.
At the noon hour and afterward the
stockmen and hundreds OF other people
went to see Coffin Bros sheep shearing
plant begin actual operation. Twenty
machines were operated, and the way
they clipped the wool startled the moss
backs. One man sheared sheep in 81 >
minutes and never cut the animal. A
lunch was served and everybody enjoyed
it hugely. The event was success.

At the closing of the fiscal year, March

$l,759.92. During the last year 10, 593
money orders were made out, which,
at an averge of 81 each, amounted to

A NONIED MENDICANT.
Thadeus Sehmit Is an Elephant In the Hands
of the Sheriff

Thadeus Schmit, who claims Ireland
as the land OF his nativity, was arrested
on the street last Saturday by Deputy
Sheriff Sindall on the charge of va
grancy. He is now in Jail awaiting the
pleasure of the authorities. Schmit is
an old man, short in stature and dimin-
utive in comprehension of the moral
code of society. For some time he has
piled the trade of mendicant, seeking
aims wherever his fancy led and often
making himself nuisance.
When taken to Jail it was found that
vermin infested his person, and he was
taken to the hospital to be kept there at
the expense of the county, and also to
be given genuine bath. He refused to
avail himself OF the opportunity to
wash, whereupon he was forced into a
bathtub by the men attendants at the
hospital. His clothes were then searched,
and behold 1920 in gold coin was found
concealed within his tatters. This sur
prised those who wished to befriend him.
He was sent back to Sheriff Tucker s
care, the Sisters being little apprehen-
sive that they could not keep him within
the bounds of their institution.
The county officials are now in guam
Diary as to what to do with their charge.
He has money and has rights of his own.
He is not crazy, neither is he "penni-
less waif." To turn him loose would be
to send nuisance upon the people OF
this city again. What will they do with
him? He is a white elephant on the
people.
