i Evidently it is not down on the calen-
dar of events for Athena to have fair
shake with the weather man in the mat
! ter OF outdoor Publications, picnics and
] the like, in what is termed 6 the merry
month Of May" The month OF May
has been yeritable 'sfrost'' to picnic
| gatherings ever since the Press man
can remember, and this particular month
of May has not redeemed the hoodoo--
not to any great extent, at least.
| Tuesday morning the 4th annual pic
mic of the Umatilla County Caledonian
Society was ushered in cold, bleak and
stormy. The magnificent program,
which had been formulated at great ex-
pense Of time and money, was witnessed
the first day by limited crowd of peo-
pie, who shivered in an atmosphere
/ frigid almost to parallel with that Of
the blasts Of stock perishing Montana.
Despite tie drawback Of weather con-
ditlons the. brawny Scots, with stout
hearts, went on with the program and
royalty entertained their visitors. The
bagpipes shrilled as only Prof. Moon
can make them, and they breathed the
life of Highland fings and Scotch reels
in tuneful rythm to the dainty steps OF
the Scottish dancers.
Judge Cameron, of Portland, thrilled
his hearers with masterful oration be-
ieweled with Scottish love, history and
tradition, and Hon. T. G.. HALEY, of
Pendleton, delivered one of his inim-
table addresses. The Misses Sharp and
Forbes and the wee Scotch lads and
i lassies gave their graceful share to-
/ ward the program, both at the grove and
!; at the evening concert in the opera
1 house, at which every seat on the lower
floor was taken. The concert program
was replete in its entirety with almost
everything Of Scottish character for
| entertainment, and was rendered with
credit to every one Of the performers.
| notwithstanding the dawn Of Wednes-
day was veiled ID lowering clouds and
threatening weather, about 10 o'clock
the sun broke through and goodly
number of people came to participate 10
the second day Of the picnic. The pro-
gram Of the day was gwen at the
grounds, and included tie beautiful
dances OF the ladies, gentlemen and
children from Portland, and addresses
| by Rev. Arrnfeld, of the NJ. II. church,
+ and c. A. sias Of the Christian church.
At 5 p. m. the exercises at the grove
terminated and the society's 4th annual
picnic was over.
| Considering the weather conditions,
the gathering Of the clans" was a enc
cess in every particular, and left work
OF credit to those jealous members who
did everything in their power for il
success.

MONEY is SCARCE
BOARD OF REGENTS CUT DOWN
THE SALARIES.
Regular Meeting Held in Weston and
New Board was Organized
Salaries for Next Year.

"Wednesday at the meeting of the
board OF regents Of the Eastern Oregon
State Normal School at Weston the
salary list for the ensuing year was cut
down considerably in order that the ex-
pense might be kept within the appro-
priation made by the recent legislature.
For some reason the last legislature did
not see fit to make an adequate appro-
priation, and the only thing to do to
keep the school running was to cut
down expenses and the salary list suffer-
ed, says tho Tribune. The salaries Of
Prof. PEBBLES and Prof. Kitteridge were
reduced to $500. The presidents salary
was not touched. The other teachers,
with the exception OF Prof. Bruce, will
receive $500 per year, while bis salary
was raised from $765 to $500.
There was full board present at the
meeting. Officers for the ensuing year
we're elected as follows:
President--J. w. Scriber, of La
Grande.
Secretary P. A. Worthington, Of
Portland.
Treasurer Robert Killgore, Of Wes
ton.
Executive committee Col. James II.
Raley OF Pendleton, chairman; Mr..
Saxton, Of Baker City, and r. Alexand-
or, Of Pendleton.
The teachers for the ensuing year
were chosen but the board decided that
ais school was not yet out it would be
better to withhold the changes from the
public until that time. However, there
were several changes made and many
new teachers employed.

bishop Seymour Thinks Russian Out
rage of Humanity Gives Right.
Biship Seymour, Of the diocese Of
Springfield, Ill, Of the Episcopal
church, in a communication published
by the State Register, takes the ground
that the United States government
should intervene in behalf OF the perse-
cuted Jews of Russia, and demand that
the Russian government take speedy
measures to protect the outraged jews
aud punish their prosecutors. Bishop
Seymour says that, OF course, the United
States should not interfere in the do
nestle affairs of other nations, but this
is case where humanity ID outraged,
and the United States, In the interest Of
humanity. should say, and it seems 10
him that this nation Is strong enough to
make its words quasi-command, and one
which must be obeyed, that these masa-
cres must INSTANTLY cease.

First Monument to Slaves.

The first monument to slaves in this
country was erected in the town Of
Fort Mill, S. c., by Capt. S. E. White, an
ex-confederate soldier, who sought in
this way to perpetuate the memory
and glorify the fidelity with which the
negroes in the south served during
the war for southern independence.
This monument was erected about 10
or Is years ago, while many of the peo-.
pie whose truth and loyalty 1t is in
tended to commemorate were still
living.

metal lace has been produced OF great
strength and considerable beauty. For

When Bedtime Comes the Guest ls

Family.

After eating we were ready for
sleep. We went to our house to find
all the women of the house waiting
to put us to bed. 1t seems to be the
correct thing to put a guest safely to
bed, and there they were waiting for
us to undress and to put the pillows
under our heads and cover us up. The
floor was covered with pieces Of mat
ting and all the cushions in the house
laid for us to sleep on; and as one Of
the cushions was little soiled tho
lady of the house got out from the
wardrobe her own white petticoat and
wrapped it around the cushion for q
pillow case. Lying awake after the
house was quiet heard faint scuf-
fling. and, peeping out, I saw the whole
family going to bed on the other
part OF the floor. back of the ward

between us and the rear of the house,

The most difficult part of the gov

here in the country of the Moros,
says special correspondence of the
Chicago Inter Ocean. They are Mo-
hammedans and hostile to Chris
tlanity. They have been until now the
unconquerable rulers of the eastern
archipelago for centuries and they are
proud, given to show, the clothes of
all classes being the most richly col
ored that could be produced. with
green and red and yellow predominant
ing. Their food is principally sweet
potatoes and rice, which they raise in
large quantities and rarely with the
aid of other than human labor.
Plantations of bananas, coco, coffee,
tobacco and cacao are very numerous,
says Montaro, but generally speaking,
the people much prefer to hunt in tho
forests for beeswax, honey, resin and
cinnamon bark, which, although of in
ferior quality, always finds prompt
sale.
They give some attention to the
cultivation of abaca. which they sell
in the fiber. With these fibers they
weave coarse but strong stuffs, to
which they give the name "dagway,"
and which, Drowned by means Of
shells, acquires the brilliancy of silk.
They also forge their knives, compil-
which they procure in the seacoast
towns, but the short railway built by
the Spanfards in 1897, and since de-
stroyed by the Moros. has furnished
them an almost unlimited supply of
steel for their knives. These arms
have for them a great value, which il

number something like 100000 to 300,-

reputation for being the most warlike,
brave and rapacious of the terrible
tribes that occupy these southern is-
lands. They enjoy the tradition be-
longing to this race of having given
the added evil intensity to the peculiar
fanaticism of Mohammedanism. They
have a naturally developed taste for

and make it legitimate. and they have
religion which consecrates it. In

He spent much of his life at Mount
