SACRED CONCERT
 PLEASED CONGREGATION.

The sacred concert at the Methodist church Sunday even- ing, given under the direction of Miss Hester Lynn Phillips, one of Newport's most talented and popular vocalists, drew a congre- gation which taxed the seating capacity of the church and won from each one present the com pliment of being thoroughly en- joyed.
 Tn each number the training of the choir was evident and much praise is due the leader for work in this line as well as for the sweetness and cultivation of her voice. In recognition of her assistance to the Presbyte- rian choir, no services were held at that church to allow the mem bers the pleasure of hearing this successful recital. The anthems Hark, Hark, My Soul, and Father, o Hear Us," were probably fayorites, but the program as printed be- low embraced much of the best talent of the city, and all was enjoyed.

tenn of compelling the consumer to bear
all the burdens of government by the
payment OF tariff taxes, must be departed
from, wealth must be compelled by lust
laws to contribute to the government in
the shape of an income tax and an inheri-
lance tax the just proportion of the bur-
dens OF government, and finally, there
must be cessation of militarism, imper-
ialism and colonialism as presented by
the Philippine policy of the Republican
party.
Upon these principles we appeal with
confidence for the cooperation of all pa
triOtic American citizens.
We express our continued confidence
in the capacity, character, courage and
fidelity to true Democracy manifested by
our standard-bearer III the contests OF
le96 and 1900. William Jennings Bryan.
We therefore direct our delegates to the
National Convention at st. Louis to act as
a unit upon all questions under the fol-
lowing Instructions:
First, to work and vote only for such
National Platform declarations as are
consistent with the declaration of this
State Convention in letter and in spirit.
Second, to oppose any policy or declar-
alton which involves or implies any sur
render or compromise OF the principles
above set forth.
Third, to cast their influence and vote
only for the nomination of such candi-
dates for President and Vice President
whose active loyalty to Democratic prin.
ciples, as set forth in the platforms OF 1896
and 1900, is safe guarantee of their fidel.
ity to those principles applied to the prob
lens of 1904.
We heartily endorse as our candidate
for Vice President. George Turner. jur.
ist .of high rank, peerless citizen In
sympathy with the declaration of this
platform and statesman whose efforts i'm
behalf of the people make him entitled
to be considered as worthy of the highest
honors within the gift of the party.

The first cucumbers from California
have sold the past week at from IA to
II cents each. The first strawberries,
from the same source OF supply, sold
for - cents box, and only hali-ripe
at that. The first green peas brought
ten cents a pound and new potatoes
have sold at from four TO five pounds
for quarter. Blessed is the producer
who first getteth to market.
The new lighting apparatus of the
State house annex was tested Monday
night, and worked splendidly for II
short time, but it was found that the
steaming capacity OF the boiler was
insufficient for the engine which runs
the dynamos, and the experiment
came TO an abrupt end. 1t is thought
that the addition OF a water-heaier
will obyiate all difficulty of making
steam fast as it is used, and this de.
vice will be adopted without delay.
The local aerie of Eagles will make
an excursion by the MultnOmah Sun

dedication of the fine hall, costing

full attendance from many other
aeries will be present and gala time
had. Eight bands have been engaged
for grand parade. The steamer
leaves Percival's dock at I o'clock A.
N. and fare for the round-trip will be
only 81.

IT WRIGGLES IN AND WRIGGLEs OUT
1t is amusing to witness the Ledger's
attempt to straddle the Republican
State platform and keep both legs on
one eide, at the same time. 1t says
that the convention simply "ma.quer.
AIDED" as Republicans, and were in fact
a railroad ratification meeting, still
that paper stands for the ticket and
predicts its triumphant election. II
says the convention deliberately wiped
off the map the Eastern part OF the
State, but the ticket of the State will,
through that papers support, be elect.
ed. The lines were, it declares, close.
ly drawn, and so far as this convention
was concerned the railroads were the
Republican party, but it will support
its action, as the Republican party,
while repudiating its action as a rail
road tool. The railroads, it asserts,
regard the people as part of their as.
sets, and it will help to rivet the fet-
tiers on the limbs OF an unwilling PEG.
pie, because it is Republican to do so.
1t is, indeed, a tangled web the Ledger
weaves from the loom when it is un-
der control of the partisan machine.

Apish Mannerisms.

A dispatch from Paris states that
the wife Of distinguished professional
man in the French metropolis gave a
reception recently in honor Of "COn'
sui" a chimpanzee which had been
the Chief attraction at place oil
amusement in Paris. The cards OF in
vitation stated that the guests were
invited specially to meet the accomp-
lished simian. At the reception Con
SUI appeared in iaultless evening
dress. He was duly presented to the
guests, and his manners, according to
all reports, were worthy Of a Gallo
Turyeydrop. He nirted with the
women" said the dispatch, ." like a
courtier" In fine, the simian made a
hit OF the season, and the guests were
charmed by his elegance of deport-
ment and hi, wit. 1t is, OF course,
gratifying to our high social pride
that Partisan society is following New
York's 400" lead in this matter. At
last our Smart Set has found vindica-
ton. 1t has invented an idea dis
tinctively its own and worthy of imi-
tation at the very source of high so.
ciety customs. When, more than
a year ago, monkeys were introduced
into Newport society, banqueted and
otherwise admitted to the plane of
equality with the members of our
most exclusive circle, there was some
turning up of noses by people too
short.sighted to perceive that a great
world wide social evolution was taking
place. Those who have made study
of the monkeys social graces and &C.
complishments find the simian very
delig htful addition TO the "40O'-a
creation of comparatively high refine
ment and most brilliant wit. Indeed,
it is limited that the simian is, in man
ners and intelligence, so far superior
to the male things OF the Smart Set
that the women fairly dote on him as
the next best thing to real man.
Then his title to the distinction of
belonging to the F. F.'s is supported
by no less scientist than the great
Darwin.

FUNNY FEATURES OF THE FAIR

Quaint and curious are many of the
objects on exhibition at the Worlds
Fair. Several Of the States vie with
each other in presenting the oldest
freaks OF human conception to exploit
their respective products. Some of
these creations provoke broad smiles,
not to say hearty laughter, but all are
useful in showing forth some leading
product of the State to which they
belong.
California sends several such ex-
hibits. One is horse made entirely
OF hops. In size and appearance this
figure looks just like a real horse, and
some of the athletic girls who have
seen the animal in the Palace of Agri.
culture have remarked facetiously that
they would like to harness "Hoppy"
for drive around the grounds. 1t is
from Sacramento county, where hops
grow abundantly.
California's exhibit also shows a
startingly life.like black bear, reared
upon his launches as if ready to hug
the visitor. He is made of prunes, OF
the black variety 80 popular with
boarding house landladies in certain
cities. His huge mouth is wide open,
and one finds upon close examination
that even his teeth and tongue are
made of prunes of the lighter shades.
In Utah's exhibit there is q statue OF
q beautiful woman in beeswax. This
dainty female is plump and solid, no
framework being used; she is wax
through and through, and is . work
OF art.
Louisiana furnishes a cotton negro.
This is the only white negro on
record. He has black face, however,
the cotton forming his face being
dyed to the proper hue. The figure
represents a typical cotton planta-
ton darkey. He looks happy, and
causes many q smile from the specta-
tors.
In the Palace of Mines and Metal
lurgy is an iron man. q statue of Vul-
can, 80 feet tall, cast in Birmingham,
Ala. He is mounted upon a pedestal
OF coal and coke, and is the Goliah oil
the Exposition.
A statue of the famous Indian girl,
Pocahontas, made Of leaf tobacco,
represents Virginia in both history
and agriculture.
Figures moulded in butter are pro.
vided by several of the States, with
proper refrigerating accommodations
There is an ingenious map of Okla
homa Territory made of the various
kinds of woods found in that Territory.
Indiana has clock made entirely
of wood, even to the wheels and main
spring.
As q feature of Alaska's mineral
exhibit there is an icebox apparently
made of gold. II is covered with gold
leaf, and is designed to represent the
worthless icebox," - Alaska was
contemptuously called when it was
purchased from Russia for 81, 200, 900.

The Democratic party of the State of
