Some time ago Smith went to Seaside.
He secured rig from the Seaside liv-

side. This friend took the horse over
the hill, where he turned it over to
Mike Hobson. The man claims the

graph apparatus between Astoria and

Passengers on the steamer Alliance
complained bitterly last night at the
lack Of arrangements at the 0. II. &
N. dock. The steamship was moored
on the north side OF the dock opposite
the main entrance, but the entrance
was kept locked, with the result that
those passengers who came ashore were
compelled TO walk half way around the
dock. a distance OF fully $50 yards,
The dock was wet, slippery and dark,
and a mIsstep would have precIpitated
a hapless passenger into the river. In
view Of the amount OF business which
has been given the Alliance, wonder
was expressed that her owners made
no provision for the accommodation Of
their patrons.

Among the passengers on the ALI
ance. which is to sail this morning for
Eureka, is Joe G. Charters, an old-time
Astorian. Mr.. Charters is now located
at Portland. He is going to Eureka
on short business trip, and on his re-
turn, about two weeks hence, will spend
a few days at Astoria. Mr.. Charters
last night remarked the very great
change in Astoria. why, when l lived
here l knew everyone, but now know
hardly anyone" declared the former
Astorian. "The old-timers faces are
familiar to me, but the newcomers out
number them so noticeably that l feel
almost a stranger. Astoria looks fine
and 1 believe it has a great future in
store" Mr.. Charters was for many
years a member of the Astoria fire de-
partment, at pne time the chief engi-
neer, and during his connection with
the department he never missed an
alarm. Once the fire alarm was sound
ed while Mr.. Charters was on boat
which was carrying picnic party to
some nearby resort. He had the captain
tain put him ashore and FASTENED to
the scene of the confagration. In the
olden days the firemen used to feel that
way about 1t, and Mr.. Charles explains
that the enthusiasm then manifested
was responsible for the worlds records
which the local volunteer team estab-
lished. He recalled last night that,
when the firebell was on Flayers dock,
before having been placed in position,
1t was the custom to fire a gun when
there was a fire. After the big bell
was placed in proper position the gun
was dispensed with as feature of the
fire department.

Miss Rose Sherwood, colored, was
fined $50 by Police Judge Anderson
yesterday for smoking opium. In de-
fault of the amount the woman was
sent to jail for 10 days, and the police
will probably have no end of trouble
with her. Miss Sherwood explained to
the court that she "jes' couldn't help
smokin'," as she had been addicted to
the habit for five years. She thought
the court ought to be lenient with her.
The opium habit has become very gen.
eral with coast negroes, and the num-
ber of white persons who use the drug
is also very large. For time Astoria
was full of opium smokers, but the po-
llice have succeeded in running them
out of town. The cocaine habit is an
other characteristic of negroes, but in
this city there are few persons who
use this drug, according to the police,
