The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-06-18

A friend OF Senator Patrick NJ. Nc.
carren of Brooklyn told the following
story about him at the Hoffman hous,
a few days ago:
Senator McCarren went into res.
taurant near the capitol In Albany a
few weeks ago and ordered some fish
When 1t was placed before him he sat
back In his chair and looked indignant.
What do you mean by bringing such
finh to a gentleman2" he asked OF the
colored waiter.
"Bes' fish in Albany, sah," he re-
piled.
Have you such thing as nose?'
inquired the senator angrIly.
Deed | has. Sah," said the waiter.
well, can't you smell the fish,
then?"
Smell de fish, Sah?' repeated the
waiter. Use been smellin' de fish fer
a week.

THE PATRIOT EDITOR
OF THE WORCESTER SPY

with the recent suspension OF The
Worcester Spy. one OF the few news
papers in the United States that has
been in continuous publication for over
a century, the last publication intlma-
tely associated with the name OF
Isaiah Thomas is scarcely remembered
at the present time, although during
his active years he was recognized as
one OF the leading printers and pub
fishers in the country. Though less
well known than Benjamin Franklin,
he did fully as much as the latter for
the announcement of printing In the
United States. The History Of Print
ing" in two large volumes, by him, Is
now one of the standard works on that
subject, and the original book is so
rare that a few years ago the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society reprinted
the work with later additions.
Isaiah Thomas was born in 1749 and
died in 1881. He is best remembered
in Worcester, Mass, where the greater
part Of his life was spent, as the foun-
der of the American Antiquarian So-
ciety, which was established in 1872
and to which Isiah Thomas contribu-
ted generously in money besides giving
1t 5000 volumes, comprising the great
er part Of his library. That was a
large collection for those days and
among the books are some exceedingly
scarce works on early Americana.
The original name of the Worcester
Spy was the Massachusetts, Spy. 1t
was started by Thomas in Boston In
1870 and within a few year sthe paper
became known throughout the entire
thirteen colonies from its fearless ut
terances against British oDpressiou
So bold was the editor in this respect
that Governor Hutchinson, one year
after the appearance Of the paper,
ordered that Thomas be prosecuted
and the matter was brought before the
grand jury In Boston, but no cause
for indictment was found. Just be-
fore the battle Of Lexington, however
Thomas considered it wise to move his
press to Worcester, Massachusetts and
there, with the exception of two or [
three years the paper continued to |
be issued until financial reverses
caused it's suspension a week ago. L
One Of Thomas's notices during the 4
Revolution was "Unanimity at home !

PIcKLED HUMAN HEAD.

ST. Louis, June 1.-THE head of a
South American tribal chieftain. cut
off and preserved By his conqueror, a
neighboring barbarian king, Is a grew
some but interesting exhibit in the
Brazilian section of the anthropological
building at the. worlds fair. The head
is part of collection of relics of the
native tribes of Brazil.
After being cut off, the head was
treated after the custom in such cases
by having all the facial and skull bones
removed. 1t was then put through a
process of curing that hardens the flesh
and preserves the original color. AS
a result the head is practically un-
changed, except in size. The process
reduces the size and the once savage
chieftain's head now appears about the
size of mans fist. A luxuriant
growth of hair of more than foot in
length is appended to the diminutive
relic, the features of which are per-
fectly preserved. The mustache and
beard are also perfect.
The specimen was secured from the
warrior who decapitated it in the in
terror of South America and is the only
relic Of the nature on exhibition any
where,

New York Press.
A girl can nearly always improve
her complexion by kissing a man
against her will.
II man acts as II he were deeply
interested In woman's wit she will
take all the rest for granted.
Because you can see through a wo-
mans shirt waist Is no sign you can
see through her idea OF wearing It
that way.
without half trying a widow can
make a man believe little children win
teach her more worldiIness than she
knows.
When you are going through tun-
mel with a pretty girl II does seem
great waste Of time to have the lights
turned on for so short a time.
