The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-08-19

in few hours, farewells had been
said, and the bride and groom were
on a railroad train, speeding out If
c-egon with Europe for their desti-
nation. March the oath they
sailed from New York and for the
next four months were travellers
among the ancient cities and inter-
esting scenes of the Old World. In
England, France, Germany, Italy,
Austria, and other countries, they
spent their honeymoon, returning
to Corvallis less than month ago
for rest, after which they were to
live in Portland, where DR. Ainslie
is engaged in the practice of his
profession.
The fatigue of travel on Mrs.
Ainslie was noticed by her friends
on her arrival home. The last
days of The homeward journey
are said to have been marred by .
slight indisposition. 1t was in the
hope that rest would restore the
lost energies that she remained in
Corvallis when DR.. Ainslie went to
Portland. A few days after her
arrival in Corvallis, she suffered a
severe attack of quinsy, which.
however, yielded, after some delay,
to trea tment.
The morning of her last day.
Mrs Ainslie told her sister that her
life was to end 81 am not going
to get WE'LL" she said, 'but I am
not afraid to die.' That was after
the dreadful shock os the perfor-
alton had struck. Frequently dur
ing the forenoon, she told those
about the bedside not to whisper,
and enjoined them, if there was
anything to say, to speak out. IF
I am better or worse, l want to
know it," she said. Towards the
close of the afternoon, the clearness
of mind passed away under the in
fuence of opiates, and the poor.
sufferer spoke but rarely. After
the operation when asked by DR..
Mckenzie if she knew who was
speaking, che replied 'Dr. McKen.
zie,' and spoke. no more. They
were her last words.
Those who were officiating min
listers at her wedding will speak the
last words over the remains of Mrs.
Ainslie. The funeral is to occur
from the family home at two o clock
this afternoon. The services will
be conducted by DR. Thompson and
Rev Carrick. The interme ent will
be in Crystal Lake cemetery.
Mrs. Ainslie was born in Corval-
lis in the home in which she died
on the 24th of September 1881.
Had she survived until the 24th OF
next month she would have been ~
years of age. She was educated in
the public schools and at the agri-
cultural college. graduating with
honors from the latter institution
four years ago. She was every
where favorite, socially and other
wise. and her sudden death is
widely lamented. For the husband,
parents and other stricken relatives,
there is a world of sympathy, spo-
ken and unspoken.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC COMPANY
ORGANIZED BY ATHENA
CAPITALISTS.
Proposed Site of Plant Is on the
UmatiIa River Near Bina-
ham Station.

In organizing a gigantic electrical
company to supply power to Walla
Walla. Pendleton and a half dozen
smaller points in the Inland Empire,
the Northwestern Gas and Electric
company has met it's first possible
competition in the Athena Gas and
Electric company, recently organized
Of Athena for the purpose of entering
the field which promised to be con-
trolled entirely by the bigger company.
Mr.. Young is in Walla Walla look
ing after matters connected with the
carrying out of plans laid and confer
ring with local moneyed men toward
interesting them in the enterprise. Ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Young his company
will enter the field with a finely equip
ped power plant and ready to compete
with the Northwestern for business.
The proposed site of the Athena
Gas and Electric company's plant is
on the Umatilla river at a point two
miles above Bingham springs. Engi-
neers have surveyed the proposed pow
er site and estimated in reports that
several thousand horse power can be
generated at a minimum cost. In be-
coming a factor in the electrical field
the company will compete for business
in PendletOn, Athena and Weston and
an electric railway system connecting
Bingham springs with Gibbon station
contemplated. The company has par
TALLY arranged for lighting the town
of Athena and a bid for the business
of lighting Adams and Weston neigh
boring towns and the city of PendletOn
will be made With two electrical
companies in the PendletOn field mer-
ry war of determination is expected to
result should the new concern carry
out plans now proposed.

DEMOCRATS AND CUBAN BILL.

Only tWenty-One votes were cast in
the house of representatives yesterday
against the Cuban tariff bill. these be-
ing about equally divided between
democrats and republican beet sugar
insurgents. Three hundred and thirty
five votes were cast for the bill, ABOUT
one hundred and fifty of these being
cast by democrats.
The democratic program as outlined
in caucus was to endeaVor to secure
amendments granting greater tariff
concessions to Cuba, but failing in
this effort, to accept the republican
measure as the best that could be Sc
cured at this time. This program was
faithfully carried out.
AS Congressman Mcclellan, mayor
elect Of Greater New York, put it,
there was an argument in favor of the
bill which rose above all others and
involved the duty and honor of the
United States. LAS we make it i'm
possible" said Mr.. Mcclellan, for
Cuba to seek alliances elsewhere, it is
duty We cannot shirk to permit her
to enter into the closest political and
commercial relations with us.
And now at last, after years OF
waiting. after the spectacle of an in
solent lobby practically dominating
the congress- We propose to fulfill par
TALLY our pledge to Cuba by giving he1
this tuppeny measure of relief that is
warranted not to offend the sensi-
bilities of the most sensitive trust ir
existence. We have made a solemn
promise to Cuba. If a republican ma
jority in its might is only willing tc
keep partially that promise, the blame
and the shame rest with the republican
party. But the bill is unquestionabl,
breach in the wall of protection"

UNFORTUNATE FOR THE CITY.

Councilman GlaSfOrd is a practical
mechanic and it is safe to say that he
knew what he was about when he
ordered changes in the plans for the
construction of the new steel bridge
on East Main street. Mr.. Glasford be-
Iieves that the changes he proposed
would have made the bridge much
safer, stronger and more durable and
these considerations would have jusu-
fed the slight increase in the cost that
would have been necessary. AS the
head of the street committee Council
man GlasfOrd was giving splendid SER
vice to the city without a cent of COM
penSatiOn to himself. While he Will be
relieved of much worry and response
bility, his gain is the city's loss. 1t
was mainly through Mr.. GlasfOrd's eff
forts that the Sub-fire station at the
corner of East Alder and Park streets
was decided upon and that work has
begun on the new bulkhead along Mill
creek at the same point. Mr. Glasford
had other important improvements In
mind and there is little doubt that his
plans would have been carried out sue
cessfully if others had not "butted in
at the wrong time.

be developing toward a doctrine that
the canal is of such superlative conse-
ouence that we are justified in enforc-
ing a kind of decree of eminent do
main.
Foreign hostility to whatever action
we may take is not probable. All the
powers tacitly consent to American
isthmian canal. Germany, only. in
South American matters, is seriously
opposed to the application of the Mon
roe doctrine; and Germany, only, with
this as animus, might be moved to up
lift mailed fist. But, SO far as the
cabled expressions of the German
press are Indication, Germany sees in
the canal a benefit to it's commerce and
is inclined to justify the United States.
Colombia, though to her was tend
Grad a handsome bonus and a large
yearly income in return for the canal
concession, acted namely. The future
Of Panama is intimately bound up with
| the canal and the infant republics Sc
cession may be regarded from its
| standpoint as purely a question of
| business" To the United States the
canal is a project in which every cit
| izen betrays and should betray keen
interest. Possession of it would
amount to a stronghold as valuable
to our government as is Suez to Eng
land. To the world the waterway is a
necessity and upon the United States
rests the task. That we should be
delayed INSTRUCTED, interfered with
| by an uniformed state like Colombia is,
ridiculous. Whether, however, our
present course is justified, whether it
! is right to put the job through at the
cannon's mouth, that is a question
which can only be determined in the
| light of developments, or when all the
| facts can be studied in perspective.
| Just now it seems that a gun play"
| is both needful and proper.

fine new THEATER
OPENS TONIGHT
The Iroquois, Chicago's New Play
house, Is One of the Finest in
the World.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Great prepara-
tons have been made for the opening
and dedication tonight of the Iroquois,
Chicago's newest and handsOmest thea
ter. Mr. Bluebeard," KlaW and Err
langer's Drury Lane spectacle are to
be the opening attractions.
The new playhouse is located on
Randolph street, between State and
Dearborn streets. Both inside and out
it is one of the finest theaters in the
country. The front of the theater is
in modern French style, with base of
polished granite, and the rest in glazed
terra Gotta. Twelve spacious doors lead
into a vestibule finished in white Yer
mont marble inlaid with mosaic. It's
ceiling is dome shape, with a mosaic
frieze illustrating the theatrical de-
velopment of Chicago, commencing
with a picture of the first theater in the
city and ending with the IroQuois itself.
The theater proper occupies space
90 feet wide and 125 feet in depth, of
which the stage occupies fifty feet.
There are but eighteen rows of seats
on the first floor and the aisles are SO
arranged as to provide for a system of
sating which prevents placing one per-
son directly behind another.
The greatest improvements and inno-
vations, however, have been introduced
behind the prOscenium for the benefit
and convenience of the players. A sep
arate building is devoted entirely to
dressing rooms, which are eighty in
number, besides ample Accommodations
for supers. The walls of the dressing
! rooms are of enamelled brick, insuring
absolute cleanliness. Underneath the
theatre there is a large green room,
music room, ballet room, sewing room
and wardrobe.
The theatre building is to be devoted
wholly to theatrical purposes. The cost
| of construction was upward of $780,
| 600. 1t was built and will be cOntrOll-
| ed entirely by the theatrical syndicate,
composed of Will J. Davis and Harry
Powers of Chicago, and Erlanger of
| New York, and Nixon and thinner
man of Philadelphia.

MAKING HISTORY RAPIDLY.

History is being created at rapid
pace on the Isthmus of Panama. Out
of one of those Spanish American
revolutions, which hitherto have been
regarded as in the nature of jokes,
events of significance internationally
and of vital consequence nationally are
taking shape. 1t may be said that
nothing of such far-reaching and SUI
perlative Importance has arisen since
the epochal situation that precipitated
war with Spain and subsequent annex
alton of the Philippines.
In the light of all the circumstances
as they have thus far been made pub
lic-indeed the statements Of Secre-
tary Hay and President Roosevelt so
indicate-the United States is fndi-
rectly responsible for agitating the
revolution and in a way responsible for
the new republic. But whether the
situation sums up into a protectorate
| it is as yet impossible to say, since
the policy in full of the administration,
| if it be decided upon, is not disclosed.
Though there may be some doubt
as to just Where the United States
stands in son e phases of the matter, it
is certain that we have adopted an
| unexpected course. We have been
guardian to South American republics
against only European interference.
| They have been allowed to fight out
| their own absurd battles. Yet in this
| case our interests have been so pre-
eminent that only a few hours after
| a government was set up, we decided
| to recognize that government.
Warships and marines have been
sent to Panama in ample number to
protect American property" and to
keep open a traffic way" We may go
on interfering until we provoke Co.
lombia to fight, hopeless and foolish as
that action would be. Still, it may
come. In short, the policy seems to
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1903-11-20

the depravity of the citizens or Ne"
York in not endorsing so-called re-
form government. They give all Sorts
of reasons for the victory of Tammany
except the right one-that New YORK
is democratic city and the democrats
there were tired of pulling chestnuts
ont of the fire for Boss Platt and other
republican bosses in order to please d
few sniveling hypOcrites and PROBES
sional reformers who make loud pro-
fessions of independence in politics,
but who are always found with the
renublicans when it comes to snow
down.
Navor Low during the last year
proved himself to be a rabid republican
partisan and he had no right 10 eH-
pect the support of loyal democrats
The reelection of Low would nave
been hailed as a great republican VIC
tory and it was for that reason that
he was so actively supported by the
Roosevelt administration. The cleo
ton of Mcclellan by big majority
gives new hope and courage TO the
democrats of the nation as 1t proves
that the party has fighting chance
to carry New York state and the ma
ton next year.
George B. Mcclellan, like his dis
tinguished father, the hero OF An
tietam. is a man of great force OF
character. During his five terms IN
congress he has shown himself to be
a vo1ng man of extraordinary ability
Land observing politicians predict for
him a great future. Any one who be-
lieves that Mcclellan will countenance
corruption in the municipal AFFAIRS OF
greater New York does not know the
man. He will give the city as honest
an administration as that OF Seth
Low and one that will prove far more
satisfactory to the taxpayers.
Before the republican organs at
tempt to pick notes out of the eyes
of their democratic brethren in New
York they should pick a few beams
out of the eyes of their corrupt party
leaders in the rOck-ribbed republican
city of Philadelphia. When they have
shown what can be done in the way of
reform in the CITY of Brotherly
Love" it will be time enough to mani
fest so much solicitude for the purity
of the government of the democratic
city of New York.
Philadelphia is today the most cor
rupt city on the face of the earth. Its
elections are a mockery and a farce.
Public franchises are sold for the en-
richment of the gang While the inter-
ests of the taxpayers are brutally 1g-
nored. Only two years ago street
railway franchise was practically given
away by Mayor Ashbridge and a venal
council, in the face of an offer of John
Wanamaker to give the city 100000
in cash for the same concession
1t is to this perennial saturnalia of
corruption that the republican organs
should turn their attention, but they
won't do it so long as Philadelphia
continues to roll up One-hundred thou
sand majority and over for the repub-
lican machine ticket. Their only pur-
pose in advocating non partisan, re-
form rule in Greater New York is to
enable Boss Platt and his gang to I'M
dermine this Gibraltar of democratic
strength.

The scene enacted at the White House,
Washington. by a demented- man. has
given the press Of the country something
to discuss for some time to come. 1t
was unfortunate that the man was not de-
tected and arrested before he was. in
view Of the letter he had written the
President few days before enclosing his
photograph. and informing him that he
would call at the White House and
claim his rights.
This should have been sufficient war;
ing to warrant the mar arrest, and
cause a1p9 investigation into his mental
condition. Il was fortunate for the Presi-
dent that he was no, admitted into the
White House at the time Of his second
appearance. and there Is no telling what
might have been the result. Too much
caution cannot be taken TO guard against
the safety Of the chief magistrate Of the
country and every safeguard should be
thrown around him.
