How Bachelors Nay safely Make
Promises ,of Marriage.
Lawyer Abe Hummel Is authority
for the statement that IL bachelors
who wish to avoid breach Of promise
suits will use telegraph blanks In do
Ing their proposing they viii always
keep on the safe side. He. bases this
assertion on an incident III q West
chester county breach Of promise
case, in which Mr.. Hummel appeared
for the defendant. The plaintiffs
lawyer began to read the alleged pro-
posal of the defendant to the jury, as
Il appeared on a message blank. He
began with my dearest Louisa.
Mr.. Hummel interrupted. III the
court please, this document is partly
printed and partly written. BY all the
rules Of evidence the plaintiff cannot
offer parts Of that instrument. He
must read it ALL
The opposing lawyer protested that
the printed matter had nothing to do
with the case, and the fact that the
proposal was written on telegraph
blank was an accident. The court
ruled that everything on the blank
should be read. Reluctantly the plain
tiff's counsel read:
"There is no liability on account of
this message unless the same Is re-
peated, and then only on condition
that the claim is made within thirty
days In writing" And then, after the
signature, Yours. lovingly, john"

The coming engagement Of James
Neill and his excellent company at
Fishers next Monday evening will in
troduce him in one of the strongest
dramatic melodramas that has ever
been presented on the American stage,
"A gentleman of France" and Mr.. Neill
who is always the first to present the
novelties from the east on the coast has
found in it one of the strongest sue
cesses of this year. The story is brim
full Of absorbing incidents and tells Of
a young soldiers fight for the woman Of
his heart, and how in the end, after
serving his love and the king he Is re-
warded justly with position and hap
piness. De Marsac. the hero of "a
Gentleman from France" belongs to
the category Of swashbucklers as does
D'Artagnan. The hero Of the former
is a nobleman, while that of the latter
is of humble birth who fights all his
battles alone. Mr.. Neill will be seen as
De Marsac and the charming Edythe
Chapman will appear as the beautiful
Nile. de la Wire, whom he rescues from
the Castle Of Chize. The play will be
handsomely mounted, and will be the
finest hing in scenic sense that Mr..
Neill has ever presented There is sure
to be a large demand for seats for the
engagement, which will be one of the
interesting Theatrical events of the
year. Seat sale opens Saturday morn
ing at Griffin's book store.

P. W. Gillette, of Portland. in Sec
ond letter TO the oregonian. insists that
Fort Astoria was located at what is
now the southeast corner of Fourteenth
street and Franklin avenue. Mr.. Gil
lette seems to be just trifie nettled
because local residents have seen fit
to differ from him as to location OF
the famous post, and he dismissss az
absurd the statement that the fort oc-
cupied the property just west OF the
hospital. AS to the statement that the
timbers found at the corner of Four
teenth and Franklin were the remains
Of a house erected by James Welch.
Mr.. Gillette says that house was stand
ing when he came to Astoria and re-
mained until the SOS. Fifty years ago.
he adds, all the old settlers here knew
that the fort was located at Fourteenth
and Franklin, and he concludes his let
ter with the remark that local author
tiles are perhaps better posted in the
modern than in the ancient history Of
the place.

That the canning Of sardines, begin
ing with next season, may be made a
thriving industry in this city, is the
hope of those associated with the late
Hemlow Sardine Company. Those
who investigated the practicability Of
establishing such a business at Astoria
during the run of the fish just past re-
port that conditions are in every way
favorable for launching out on a big
scale. The few samples put up viii
serve to introduce the article on the
market and the packers win interest
dealers in their goods this winter.
Plenty OF time will be taken to get the
cannery in shape so that no delay will
be experienced when the fish enter the
river. II is the intention to make the
business permanent.
