Mayor Surprenant yesterday attach
ed his signature to the new ordinance
to prevent public crlers and the bill
Is now law. Section / Of the measure
provides as follows: ut shall be un-
lawful for any person within the cor
porate limits Of the city OF Astoria to
advertise goods, wares or merchandise
for, sale by public outcry, or to offer
goods, wares or merchandise for sale
by public outcry; but this ordinance

would interfere with teamsters, who
resort to public crying at boat land
ings and depots, but Police Judge An
derson expresses the opposite view.

When an ordinance TO accept the
Improvement OF Ninth street was pre-
sented at Tuesday nights meeting Of
the council Mr.. Hansen objected, say
Ing the improvement had not been made
according to contract. He called at
tention to the fact that tlmbers Of i'm
proper size had been installed and that
the nails In the sidewalks had not been
driven. Mr.. Belland, one of
the members Of the street committee,
had declined to sign the acceptance for
the reasons enumerated by Mr.. Hansen.
Contractor Dill had given assurance
that the defects would be remedied, so
the ordinance was passed, with the
that the work would
not be paid for until the repairs had
been made. The discussion brought
out the fact that the rock work on
Ninth street is the best thus far done

II is reported from Seaside that tw1
reasons are assigned for the recent
municipal order that gambling should
cease. When the old Grimes hotel was
recently destroyed by fire some Of the
timld visitors at the beach became
frightened. and left. declaring that the
towns fire protection was wholly in
adequate. Then when Frank Moody
took shot or two al Lawrence Suili-
van other timid ones became fright
ened. The town authorities are said to
have been actuated by desire to main
tain the reputation Of their resort in
their order TO close gambling The Moody
came to the city with Sheriff Linville
and stood a $50 fine Sullivan was too
Ill to come to Astoria, but promised
to do so as soon as ne was able. A few
days later he telephoned over that he
wanted 70 80 to Portland and asked
the sheriff II II would be all right. The
sheriff said II would and Sullivan went
to the metropolis. Eventually he will
come TO Astoria to make donation
for the lnfraction OF the law. In view
Of the fact that gamblers depend on
the summer crowds. the late order OF
the town officials has created the i'm
preston that the move was merely a
blind, but this is denied by Seasiders
who insist that the town really means
to enforce the order. not only during
the winter months, but as well during
the seaside season next year and
thereafter.

feet above the grade OF Thirty-eighth

HE DID NOT WE'LL TO BE ANGRY.


 HE DID NOT WE'LL TO BE ANGRY.
 A few days ago it was reported that Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head |of the English department at the Uni versity of California. who has achieved some notoriety on account of his pro- nounced stand against co-education, lost his temper with his poetry class of one hundred young women. The pro lessor said: "If God Almighty or the Angel Gabriel wrote poem it would |not interest you. You are nothing but giggling girls. Half of you ought to be made to pay tuition. Class dismissed" Professor Gayley was trying to tell the class about the glories of some new poetry. but the girls were apparently not interested. When he had scolded the young women he tossed his books into a grip and left the classroom.
 As this statement has not been de- nied we suppose 1t was true. And if it was true it is proper to say that Profess sor Gayley didn't treat the incident just fright. He was probably correct in his assertion that the giggling girls before him wouldn't be interested in a poem even if it were written by God Al- mighty or the Angel Gabriel. But he forgot that giggling girls don't have to be interested in anything. Their mis- sion in life is to giggle, and all who are privileged to see and hear them ought to be satisfied and pleased. Most are. l Of course when Professor is trying to get a chance to insert some knowl- edge between the giggles it is provok- l ing not to be able to- but being a Pro- lessor he ought to know his limita- l tions and not make a fuss because the gigglers recognize them. And as to poetry, what is the need of trying to teach poetry to giggling girls? Is there any poetry equal to them? And have | mt they been the inspiration and the
 solace of poets? It is little surpris-
 ing that while Professor Gayley was
 surrounded with poetry he only had
 thought for that which he was so eager
 to teach. but Professors are given to
 abstraction. He would have done bet
 ter to forget his wrath in admiring
 contemplation of the lovely poetical gig glers.

THE RHoDKs sCH0AARsHfPs.

Dr. G. R. Parkin agent of the Rhodes trustees, says that during the coming spring the young men who are to re- ceive scholarships at Oxford will be se- lected-forty-seve from the United States, eight from Canada, three from Newfoundland, Bermuda and Jamaica, one from New Zealand and eight from Australia, or sixty-seven in all When the scheme is in full operation, how ever, there will be from 175 to 200 pick ed young men sent to Oxford from all parts of the Anglo-Saxon world for a three-y years training. A provision of the Rhodes will looks to a further in crease of the number of scholarships at the death of certain beneficiaries. For time there was hesitation upon the point whether the men admitted to scholarships should be very young or comparatively mature. It has been de- cided that they should be students who have had some college life. They will be withdrawn from home influences, and should, therefore, be old enough to take care of themselves. It has been decided, however, it appears, that the scholars received from the United States shall be undergraduates, In America each State has a committee of five or six eminent educators appointed to select scholars from among appli- cants. There are twenty-one colleges at Oxford, so that 1I5 students will mean eight or nine to each. But some latitude of choice is to be allowed. Bal licl, or Brasenose, for example, may have as many as twenty if the inclina- tions of the scholars favor such a dis tribution.

course. Perhaps the worst root de- stroyers are those who collect the roots for medicinal purpose. They gather such plants as BIoodroot and Solomon's Seal, and many others, and they should be prevented from doing this. because these plants may be easily cultivated on a commercial scale. as similar plants are grown for this purpose in Europe.
 In many places there have been or ganized societies for the protection of native plants. and these are doing for the wild flowers pretty much what the Audubon Societies are doing for the birds. All such societies are more or less beneficial, as they at least call peoples attention to what it is desirable to do. and most people want to do what is desirable if their attention is called to 1t and if it is not too much trouble.

NOT mUCH LIKE HARTFORD.

The other day we noticed the accident that befell a club house in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. whereby one of the walls of the club house fell on Sunday morn ing and exposed bad people with gam bling implements before them. We con- graduated New Haven on the fact that no such thing could possibly be reveal ed here by the fall of any wall of any club house. We now have and seize an opportunity to congratulate the whole of Connecticut on the impossibil- ity of anything happening in Hartford like that which has just happened in Columbus, Ohio. The police of Colum- bus made raid on a gambling house, and, curiously enough, found a game in progress. Among those present were, it is said. some twenty members of the Ohio legislature, who, however, con- trived to get away by the fire escape and by sliding down pipes. In this way their arrest was prevented, and their names were not inscribed on the po- llice station blotter.
 What blessed privilege to live in
 the State of Steady Habits and Good Habits. No such disgrace as that which
 has come on Ohio need be feared here. Perhaps the extraordinary prevalence

 hurt the morals of the State.
