OF The aRlckEYo
Colonel RieISey's story of the Birth
OF the Famous Beverage.

Colonel Rielxey's story of the Birth
OF the Famous Beverage.
1t was in Washington that the late
Colesel Joseph Kyle Hickey came into
national prominence, for it was while
there as a lobbyist that he invented the
famous ''rickey," says the New York
American. In the past Colonel Hickey
often told Of the birth Of the famous
beverage
1T was in Shoemaker's at Washing
ton with George Williamson at the
bar" be often said chat the first
rickey was made. | came in with Colo
mel Bill Hatch and some other friends,
and I wasn't feeling very well. SO
said, George, | want some bourbon,
but | want the drink to be long and
cold and mighty sour Then saw
some lines on the bar, and ! said
There you are. That's the thing. Put
some lime in it, And George did it,
Colonel Hatch had one with me, and
we just smacked our lips. 1t was deli
cious and very, very refreshing"
But as to the "gin rickey,' which has
also become widely popular, Colonel
Hickey time and again denounced any
fathership of it.
Hickey always contended that the
use of rye whisky or gin in a rickey
made 1t unfit for gentleman to drink.

Death Of a Prominent Pioneer.

In the rapid succession OF deaths of
prominent pioneers of this coast ap-
pears this week that of ex-senator
II. W. Corbett, Of Oregon, who died in
Portland, Tuesday morning, of heart
trouble. Probably no man on the
coast was more widely and favorably
known in business, politics and social
life. He came to Portland So years
ago, and engaged for while in the
mercantile business, afterwards became
leading banker of the State, and hav-
ing taken an active part in the organ
ization and maintenance OF the Repub
lican party, his fitness and popularity
resulted in election to the L. S. Sen
ate, in 1867. He was born in West
boro, Mass, Feb Is, 1927. His educa-
ton was academic and acquired in his
native town. In 1S40 he went TO New
York and engaged in trade. In 1851
he opened general store in Portland,
making him one OF the first mer-
chants in Oregon, contemporaries
with Couch, Barnes, P.itchard, Norris,
the Failings, Norton and Trevitt.
Mr.. Corbett traced his lineage back
to William the Conqueror, when Roger
Corbett figured prominently as a mill
tary leader. He leaves one son, Henry
J. Corbett, who lives in Oregon. The
estate he leaves is valued at $1,000
600

OLD CREW DONE WITH CUP-RACINe.
An effort to secure crew for the

expectedly unsuccessful. An agent OF
the Islins and ]. P. Morgan, who Wis.
tied Deer Island, Me-, to obtain men
who had sailed on former successful
contests, would not sign, declaring
that they had been overworked aud
under-paid. Besides the food was not
good. They declare that they have
had all the cup-racing they want, and
they object specially to being d" tossed
around by lot of kid-gloved sailors
who knew about as much of the man.

that could have been 50 easily accord.

bosses"

Death Of One Of the Leading Packers.

Gustavus F. Swift, the President of
the great Swift Packing Co., died sud-
denly in Chicago, Sunday morning,
from the effects of an operation for
affection of the gall-bladder, per-
formed several days before. His death
was unexpected, as he had given every
indication of recovery. The imme.
date cause OF death was a hemorrhage
which the doctors could not suppress.
Deceased was born at Sandwich, Mass,
in 1889, and began life as butcher in
his native town. In 1875 he took up
his residence in Chicago. and opened
up an extensive business in transport.
ing live cattle to Eastern markets.
This was succeeded by shipment of
dressed meat in refrigerator cars. He
was the pioneer in this business, and
soon found rivals, but the trade WAS
big enough for all, and those who ell.
gagged In 1t coon amassed large for
tunes. Mr.. Swift left an estate of
$lOOOO,OOO and had in his employ over
1900 men. The sales of his company
in 1902 aggregated the enormous sum
OF 100000 900, and the importance of
this trade is shown by the fact that
there were halt dozen other large
corporations, besides many small ones,
engaged in the same business at this
time.

AT Tela, Honduras, about a fort
night ago, the government gunboat
Tamtumbla sneaked into the harbor
and began bombardment Of the town,
without giving the slightest notice.
An agent OF the United Trust Co.
there, an American, hoisted an Ameri.
can flag, but no attention was paid to
it by either the government troops or
the revolutionists. The flag was fred
at repeatedly, and the agent and his
wife escaped death by the rarest OF
good luck. A skirmish took place on
the banana and rubber plantation near
San Pedra Sula, owned by DR.. Elliott,
an American from Kansas City, in
which the revolutionists were defeated
DR.. Elliott was arrested and threaten ned
by the government officials on the
charge that he secreted some of the
revolutionists. 1t is charged that
both sides have butchered their pris-
oners, and in many cases have dis.
figured the dead.

A SEAMAN on the U. S. revenue cut
ter Seminole, lying in Boston harbor,
the other day, became angry from
some cause-or probably the much
misused word mad would fit better
here-and broke out in the most vio-
lent abuse OF everybody and every thing.
His abuse was patiently borne by his
fellow middies, however, until he at
tackled the American flag, calling it
"a dirty rag" That was too much.
The language was reported to Captain
Rogers in command, who Immediately
called to general muster, when he adj
dressed the crew on the enormity of
the ofiense committed by one of their
number. He then compelled the cul-
prit to kiss the flag and to swear with
uplifted hand that he would never be
guilty of such sacrilege again.

RELIANCE, THE New CUP DEFENDER.
Plans are about perfected for launch
ing the Reliance, now approaching
completion, without brag or buster,
at 5 80, on Saturday, the 18th instant,
and the yacht will be the first to have
a daylight launching since 1895. 1t is
understood that Hereshoffs, the build
ers, have definitely decided upon the
date named and the time of the day,
although since the Defender was set
afloat, eight years ago, no American
cup boat has been launched except
under cover of darkness. 1t is said
that the tide will serve better at that
date and hour, and rather than delay
the launching for the sake of secrecy,
they will send the yacht on her first
dip before dark.

TACOMA CHIEF AGAIN AT Fault
1t is now "on" Councilman Richard.
son and John Rea, Jr., of this city, who
are the second and third Olympians
who seem TO have been regarded as
q" innocents abroad" in a late visit to
Tacoma, the case of Ray Gilbert, one
OF the proprietors of the Green Tree
saloon. of this city, having been re-.
ported some months ago. It was ex-
pressions of opinion regarding the
strike which impelled Chief Fackler
to arrest the first named gentleman,
on charge of disordsrly conduct
while on q street car. Just at this
time, Mr.. Rea came aboard, and very
properly thought that freedom of
speech was guaranteed by the consti-
tuition, mixed in, and very soon found
that he too was involved in the mesLes
of the law. The chief took the eds.
orderly" men to headquarters, where
they were detained about three hours
before the officer discovered that he
had been overly officious, when the
prisoners were released with apologies.
That panacea will not work, however,
in this case, and Mr.. Richardson has
secured Geo. c. Israel, Of this city, ].
NJ. Ashton and w. F. Saches, of Ia.
coma, and S. P. Richardson OF Shelton,
to make him smart for his indignity
to an Olympia alderman.

The PANAMA COMMIssIoN.-It is
said on excellent authority that former
Senator Harris, of Kansas, will be one
of the Democratic members of the
Panama Commission, ex.Gov. Sayres
OF Texas being the other. Mr.. Harris
has received the Endorsement of the
entire Kansas delegation in Congress,
although all are Republicans. He has
been the second man on the Commit
tee on Interoceanic Canals for several
years, and everybody comedies his wide
knowledge of the subject OF canal con-
struction, he having been a civil engi.
neer before being elected to the Sen.
ate. Mr.. Harris will not be appointed
until after the Colombian treaty ha.
been ratified by both governments and
payment of the $40,OOO,OQO to the
Panama Canal company for its prop
erty and franchises has been made. 1t
is not President Roosevelt's intention
to name the commission until these
things have been contaminated.

IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE DEFEATED
The cause OF equal suffrage for wo-
men lately triumphed in Arizona by
the passage OF an act wiping out the
distinction OF sex in civil procedures.
The act was, however, vetoed by Gov.
Brodie, who claims that the act is in
conflict with the organic law of the
Territory. The favorable action of
the Legislature indicates that if there
is any ground for unconstitutionality
it is implied rather than expressed,
and the veto is probably the result of
strabismus of the gubernatorial optics.

By Any Other Name.

A sedate dominic OF New jersey
that highly moral State which stands
sponsor for all the big trust.-has at
tempted to define, 10y some more de.
scriptive term than dancing" the
essence of sO-called Ground dances"
and the quality which makes the
waltz so delriously sweet, the polka SO
wonderfully celebrating, the redowa
so enhancing, in its slow graceful
movements, and the schottish to pos
sess such hypnotic spell in its live
lier motions. In fact, he wants
term which shall embrace (see how
properly the right words cluster about
ideasD a true definition OF that form
Of the poetry OF motion which admits
of an arm around the waist OF your
fair partner. He seems to have hit
the exact idea OF what these forms of
dancing really are, when he describes
them as Hugging set to music" 1t
must be admitted that he has hit the
nail squarely on the head in uniting
the sensation Of hugging with the
sweet charm OF music, as he portrays,
in plain Language, appropriately, APP
preciatively, fairly and impartially, the
enhancing charm OF the round dance,
for he has called to his aid, and uni
united with deliberate solemnity, two
OF the most delightful experiences
OF the Earth-liie. The eweet strains
of music raise the human soul to a
kindredship with Deity, while hugging
well, let some one with greater COM
mand of language attempt to describe
it, for succeed he cannot. Whether
the Reverend gentleman intended it,
or not, his appreciative definition will
have a similar effect to gliding refined
gold, making it even more brilliant
than its standard value would imply,
and instead OF young folks (and prob
ably some old ones, too) swinging on
the garden gate or sitting on the back
porch of moonlight nights, they may,
under this incentive, choose circling
over the ballroom floor by the light of
the electrolier. tits well for the DOM
inies to keep their hands off of such

Miss BARTON INTERRUPTED IN HER
COOP WcRK.-Miss Clara Barton has
been forced to retire from the position
OF active head of the American Ma.
tional Red Cross Society, and it is an
nounced that she will be succeeded BY
Rear Admiral William r. Van Rev.
pen, retired, former Surgeon General
of the Navy. 1t seems that Miss Bar.
ton had given offence to the order by
failure to make . report, at times, of
its work and expenditures, and she is
accused of having secured and voted
proxies for her retention as President
of the organization. 1t is claimed
that it was THE arbitrary disposition
which impelled President Roosevelt
to decline a position on the advisory
committee, having charge of its char
liable work. 1t is proper to state,
however, that Miss B. denies the truth
OF some of these allegations, and her
word has the more effect from the fact
that she was the originator and main
laborer in the good work of relieving
suffering by organized effort.
