Poor GIRL-Edith Burnett, q tall,
comely English girl, was married, in
Seattle, Wednesday night. to China
man named John Toy, the Rev. H. d.
Brown performing the sacrilegious GER
emony. It seems that the union was
SO much q matter Of barter that the
girl took the minister aside, and exhib-
ting to him . note for large amount
given her by the prospective BRIDE
groom, asked him if il was good. He
told her it waa and performed the GER
emory. The sacred nature of the rite
is wholly wanting in such a union and
it is to be regretted that a clergyman
was found who could be induced 50
readily to prostitute his sacred calling
by performing the ceremony.

THE fastest boat yet built, unless it
may have been the cigar.shaped craft
launched on the Hudson . dozen
years ago, which attained approx
mate speed to the Arrow, that on a
late trial trip made 1913 knots an
hour, which is equivalent to As statute
miles. Her length is 100 feet 4 inches,
her beam IL feet 6 inches, draft 8 feet
6 inches, and she has 66 tons displace-
ment. The power consists of twin en-
gines Of 1000 horsepower each, of
quadruple expansion type and specially
constructed for high-speed. It is prob
able that the name of the new flyer
lately built at Portland was suggested
by the Arrow which has made such q
cord on the Hudson.

THE Boston Herald opposes raising
the salary of the President from $780,
600 to 100000 per annum, on the
ground that it is based solely on the
consideration that the cost of living
justi6es it. 1t holds that the domi
nant party must cease shouting pros
perity If it can give no better reason
for the advance than one which ap
plies with equal force to every wage
Garner in the land. "If," it aflirms
"the state of the case calls for &C
much additional salary, then, mos.
certainly it must mean the propriety
OF substantial addition to laborers
wages. Before the legislators at the
national capital engage in such pro-
jects as this, it may be we'll for them
to reflect upon what they may logically
lead to il carried out"

The Christian Science Cult.

The most logical and interesting cd.
dress on true Christianity that has
been presented to an Olympia audi
ence, we think, was that of Carol Nor
ton, c. s. d. of the organization in
Boston, at the theater. Monday night.
1t was based upon the proposition that
the Saviour did nothing supernatural
in performing the so.called miracles of
healing the sick and restoring the ap-
parently dead to life Tie speaker
held that these works were done by
operation Of natural law, and the oh.
lect of Christian science is to study
that order of things so closely and
carefully as to develop their latent
power for promoting physical health
and mental probity.
Mr.. Norton declares Christian Sci
ence to be the greatest discovery of the
nineteenth century, and predicted that
Love, not Creed, will be the keynote
of the present cycle. When one re.
fleets upon the frequent discovery OF
secrets of nature which set at defiance
the crude theories hitherto held re.
garding natural law, it docs not re-
quire wide stretch OF Imagination to
picture all that is claimed at the very
threshold of the temple Of Christian
Science as now understood. Marconi's
discovery of the means for pulsation of
intelligence through space gives re-
newed hope of Immortality by bridging
the space between earth-life and the
invisible world. The little disk which
records the accents Of the living to be
reproduced to succeeding ages, the
Crooke-tubc by which human vision
may penetrate opaque substances, are
discoveries unfolded by scientific re-
search which open up new laws and
discard old theories. Why then should
it be considered impossible to break
the seal of the page on which the
means of acquiring and maintaining
physical perfection may be made plain
as the ordinary functions OF Nature?
Christian Science is a subject which,
in view Of the many discoveries that
have set the world-wise astir with
amazement and compelled savants to
revise their notions of occult power,
commands respectful consideration OF
Thoughtful people. 1t cannot be dis
missed with the gibe OF the cheerful
idiot that by it you may cut off a
finger and replace it through a su-
preme effort of will-power. Experience
of passing years but emphasizes the
poets claim that there are moro things
in heaven and earth than are dreamt
of in mans philosophy.

THERE is nothing more sure in the
always changeable futurity than that

before them so palpable manifestation
OF the hand writing on tho wall, that
they will seek to climb over tho tail
board OF the band-wagon,

SOME SPLENDID PLAYS Frederick
Warde and Louis James are again
starring the Coast, this time in Bakers
great tragedy Francesca de Rimini,"
and Shakspeare's most entertaining
comedy 1.-THE Tempest" These stars
appear only at the leading theaters.
"The Heart of Maryland" held the
boards at the Marquam Grand this
week, interpreted by Belasco's great
company, and tonight and tomorrow
night Ouida's Strathmore" will be
presented to Portland audiences at
that theater, the leading lady, Miss
Prescott, being beauty of that city.
These are all first.class plays by lead
ing performers and it requires tact
and influence to divert them from
their route embracing only the larger
cities.

Hanna's Plan to Capture the Negro.

1t is hardly probable that Hanna's
bill to pension the ex-slaves, freed by
the emancipation proclamation in
1868, will pass. At that time there
were 100000 slaves in the United
States. Probably time has reduced
that number fully two-thirds, but that
would leave million names to add
to the pension list, for bounty as
we'll as a monthly stipend eqnal to
that OF deserving soldiers
There has been an attempt made
by some of our small fry politicians to
minimize the evil that would be
wrought by this official manner OF pro.
noting mendicancy, by the assump-
ton that the number that would be
benefited are very few. after the lapse
OF more than generation since the
time when most OF them, then in mid
die life, we're freed from servitude.
They do not realize that the negro is
at least as long-lived as the white man,
and that our pension roll OF ex-sol-
diers, OF an army, scarcely as large at
the close OF the war as the number OF
slaves set free by it, still crowds we'll
on to the million mark, and costs our
people an annual outlay OF $l3S ,O0O,-
600.
There is hardly possibility, how
ever, OF the Hanna bill passing Con.
gress. 1t bears no more of an appeal
to justice than to select any other class
of citizens to subsist upon the bounty
of the whole people. The government
did enough for them to cut the shack
les Of slavery and open to the black
man all the avenues for honest labor
for which nature has fitted him. It is
an exceedingly bad policy to awaken
in his credulous mind a thought OF
pa.ernalism on part OF the government.
His confiding nature has already made
him the victim of scoundrels profess.
ing friendship who have collected mo-
ney from him to help pass bill for the
very object now suggested by Hanna.
The great Boss deems it legitimate
way to divert support of the colored
citizen from the man in the White
House, who by quite as despicable, but
more honest means, has played an ap.
parently trump card for the trick.
