VERY FUNNY FOLKS.
At Opera House Next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday.

Bronson & Chenoweth's Funny Folks,
wholesale dealers in Joy, open at the
Athena opera house Thursday evening,
Nov. 5, in three night engagement of
farce comedy for fun and percentage
of the door receipts. The troupe is a
good one and has the reputation of
dealing out good, wholesome, clean fun
in carload lots. The Pendleton Tribune
in speaking of the shows success in that
town says:
"a large, and enthusiastic audience
witnessed one of the most entertaining
shows that has visited Pendleton in a
long while. The program teens with
comedy and is sure to prove a great
winner. Every one of the company Is
an artist and laugh maker.
"There are two hours of nothing but
laugh. One special feature was Mrs.
Rea Bronson who sang the illustrated
songs. This lady sings distinctly and
sweetly and with great feeling. It is
certainly worth the price of admission
to hear her sing. Mr.. Chenoweth sus-
tanned his title to the greatest living
cornetist. He is good. Miss Eva
Thatcher as the Irish Lady set the
audience wild with her irrisistibly fun
ny and quaint Irish songs. Minnie
Ward Rimmer captured the audience
also. This lady is a very clever heel
and toe dancer. Mr.. Duncan made
good. Mr.. Bronson was never funnier
than he was last night. He is q real
comedian. It is perfectly natural for
him to be funny. The title of Funny
Folks was well sustained. The program
changes nightly.

COLLARLEss SPRING COATS.

The greater number of the new sprir g coats are made ccllarless. which means that the stock collar is O. more impor- tance than ever before.
 There are very pretty. very new laca stocks combined with small fnsats of silk scattered thiclty with French knots that look extremely we'll One which was decidedly attractive in it's color combination was made of cream lace with little set-in motifs of light brown silk thickly embroidered with pale blue French knots.
 This stock was made with T single tab in front formed of the iacc. finished with a narrow binding of brown silk ard embroidered with sprays cf blue forget-me- nots
 Another attra ctive stock was o1 white silk. with black French knots IS its deccra ton; it was made with q turnover of white silk embroidered in red cherries, and it had three tabs in front, the center one being the longest.
 The tabs were white silk. with French knots in black as the borders. and inc center of each tab showed the embroidered cherry design.

rlisuse of the Negative.

It is perhaps futile to keep pointing cut how the best of people continue to abuse the language which it is their privilege to possess, but there is always the chance that the good word uttered may not be lost. One peculiar break that occurs very frequently is in the use of the negative. We often find such statements as that He, nor anybody else. could do itl" If language is de signed simply to convey ideas and the terial, then this may be tolerated, but it is indefensible. It says one thing, but actually it means just the opposite Another abundant blunder is illustrat- ed in these few words from the speech of Chauncey Depew made at the re- ception to Baron von Sternburg. He said:
 That brought out the fact that no kaiser, emperor or king relies today on the dispatches of his ambassadors, but has his clipping bureau
 Read correctly that says that mo king" "has his clipping bureau Of course it means exactly the contrary. X similar blunder is found in the fol- lowing extract from a court report in the New York Times:
 MT Addicks took the stand yester- day and denied he ever engaged eithe.' NIr. Logan or his firm as counsel and that he always supposed MT. Logan represented MT. Greene"
 Did MT. Addicks deny" that ne al ways supposed it or did he say that he supposed t? The. language is one way and the evident Meaning is the other You find manifest and inexcusable mis- takes of this sort in newspapers, books and speeches, and, if we are getting used to them and so tolerant of them. it simply argues that we are becoming more careless in regard to our lan- guage and less capable of it's use.

immigration Figures.

l Immigration figures for the fiscal year 1863 seem likely to surpass those Of any preceding year except 1882. The figures of the bureau of immigration furnished to the bureau of statistics for it's monthly publication, Commerce and Finance. show that the total inn migration into the United States for the nine months ending with March. 1903 was 494.425, against 37O.575 fo- the corresponding months of last year. This makes it almost certain that the total immigration into the United States for the fiscal year. which ends sixty days hence. will exceed that Of any preceding year except 1882, in which the total was 7SS.992
 Italy supplied the largest number of immigrants in the nine months ending with March last, the total from Italy Gncluding Sicily and Sardinia being 1c9,S00. The next largest number con- sidered by nationality was from Aus tria- Hungary, 123.234; and third in rank, Russia Gncluding Finland). ST. 731. Sweden ranked fourth, 25,0S0; Germany. 23,4S2; Ireland, 16,93O; Japan, 15,1S5; England, 14,621; Norway, 11,316 and Roumania. 1858

CURRENT COMMENT
.:-.....................:........:
4 SOURCE OF INTERNATIONAL
 FRICTION

FRICTION.
 That was a soothing ard a sensiblc address which Baron von Sternbers made at the dinner given to him in New York Wednesday night. It is tru ?, as he said, that most of the friction between the United States and Ger many has been due to misunderstood . ings. Perhaps it would be more acct rate to say that the trouble has re suited from a certain contemptuOus attitude on the part of both nations. which has been based on lack 3f knowledge.
 For instance, Nun Moltke would hardly have referred to the later oper- ations of Grant and Lee as the mancu- vers of armed mobs" if he had known much of the civil war, and the Ameri-
 can notion of the subserviency of Ger mans to the divine right idea is doubtless just as mistaken as was the great Prussian's conception of Ameri- can military ignorance. When an edu- cated German can say as Prof. Adolf Wagner of the University of Berlin
 said, that America is practically | parasite on European civilization there is little wonder that international fric- ton arises. If one nation looks upon another as hopelessly greedy and vul- gar and is regarded in it's turn as want ing in love of liberty, trouble is always possible. The fact that both concep- tior.c; are mistaken does not make thern less dangerous.
 The thing that is needed is what the
 politicians call a campaign Of educa- ton" It is Impossible to believe that if Prof. Wagner had known something of American history and life he would have made the statement he did as to this nations position. Americans N hU are familiar with the German charac-
 ter arc not apt to find it wanting in it's love of liberty. A better mutual un- derstanding would increase the respect which each country has for the other and so would promote friendly reia- tions
 It may be confidently anticipated that
 the multiplication of books and maga. zines and the increased facilities for
 travel will do much to eliminate the provincial spirit and to advance mu- tual appreciation. Meanwhile such t1ctful cnvoys as Baron von Stcrnberg
 can work successfully to the same end. That America is disposed to wclccme such advances as he has made is eVi-
 dent from the conciliatory tone of the press on this side of the Atlantic in
 the recent controversies-Ka City Star.

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.

THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT
 Whether the basis provided by the fourteenth amendment is wise or nOJ is another question. While it's purpose was to Suarant equal rights, it woulc if put in operation. bring pressure to bear on the states to debase their elec- torate States which, like MassaC Chu- setts. tried to secure intelligent voting. would be penalized, as would southern states which might. without any dis crimination against the negro. try ili entire good faith to keep government in the hands of industrious and intel ligcnt men. This government was not founded on universal suffrage. It was d Ia ter development. aided by polltl- clans wanting new and ignorant voters to use. Perhaps it is now so estab- lished that there is nothing to fear from further pressure to make more ignor- ant voters, or to prevent reaction in favor of educational or property quail fications But if there are states WheT-' limited suffra ge-limited in good faith by equal jaws without race discrimina- tiOrl-is thought to be in the interests Of civilization and honest government. Q federal law which offered premium for the sway of ignorance and irrespon- sibility would seem to be of doubtful wisdon.-New York Tribune.
