JOE JEFFERSON RETIREs.
Announces Decision Never to Appea
on STAGE AGAIN,

Announces Decision Never to Appear
on Stage Again.
New York, Oct 3.-Joseph Jefferson,
after more than seventy years on the
stage, during which time he has be-
come one of the most honored and be-
loved members of the dramatic profess
sion, has decided absolutely never to
resume his theatrical career. Deepest
regret was expressed by all who heard
him make the announcement.
Mr.. Jefferson arrived here from Bos-
ton, where he had rested few days,
recuperating from his recent illness at
Buzzards Bay which caused the aban-
donment of his fall tour. He is con-
valescent, but still must be judicious
in guarding his returning strength, and
he will remain here three weeks, after
which he will go by easy stages to
Florida, stopping in Washington for a
time and again in Atlanta.
When the decision was ultimately
reached he quietly announced it to his
family 81 shall never act again. he
said. My days upon the stage are
ended"
Once the decision was made and it's
first feeling of solemnity had passed
Mr.. Jefferson became more cheerful

E. L.MimS& Co. Market Letter

The market this week showed firm
ness accompanied by dullness, being
one of the best signs imaginable, for
as a general rule dullness is a fore
runner to weakness, which in this
case has not occurred.
The stock of Montana-T onopah Is
firm at l.60 to 1.65 and demand ex-
ceeds supply. Parties anxious to buy
at 1.60 but no one willing to sell, The
tendency of Montana onopah is de-
cidedly upward and we venture to
say that in a very short period the
stock will touch LIS and possibly
200.
Belmont is selling around zoe and
at those figures finds ready buyers.
Midway is holding its W and can
be bought around BIC to 39c. We
expect a sharp move in this stock
shortly and advise one and ali to buy
it now to hold.
North Star dull; nothing doing in
it and sales around 28c small, prov
inc that no one cares to sell North
Star at the figures prevailing.
Tonopah Extension very firm and
large blocks find ready purchasers
around 100 and Ito.
Goldfeld Mining company is stead
lily being sold at from 50c to 6Oc and
the owners predict much higher
prices, at the rate they + turning
out the ore on the January lease, the
property will soon be a dividend
payer and will be to Goldfeld wha'
Montana onopah is to Tonopah, th'
recognized leader. We reccomment
its purchase. The fact of the matte
is Goldfeld is undoubtedly grea
camp and all the real good proper
ties there win pay handsome return
to the investor, buying stocks at 10y
figures always gives the buyer
chance to get profits and to bu
stocks that no one wants is the sures
way to make money, because whe
no one wants anything prices ar
low, whenever everyone wants stoc
prices are high. 1t has been a ma.
ter OF history that buying low price
stocks with merit yield larger prof
than any other kind.

future will advance rapidly and bu.

OREGON EDUCATION
EXHIBIT ATTRACTS ATTENTION
AT THE WORLDS FAIR.
May Serve to Bring the National Edu-
Gators Association to Portland
Next Year.

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis,
Mo-, July %. The National Educators
Association which recently held session
in the worlds fair at st. Louis has prac-
tically decided to come to Oregon in
1903 to take in the Portland exposition.
There are several thousand of the edu-
Gators, and if the railroads will grant re-
duced rates they will surely come. The
executive commission of the association
will consider the location for the next
convention, and it is believed that Port
land will be selected.
The teachers who visited the Oregon
educational exhibit were very much
pleased with the arrangement and the
work on display. 1t was the general
opinion that Oregon students did Just
as good work in school as any other
state in the union. The work is all
neat and attractive and shows that much
attention was expended in making the
collection.
One Of the features is the set of relief
maps from Baker county. There are a
number of these maps, which are mold
ed from soft drawing paper, and they
attract attention from all visitors.
Several cabinets adorn the walls which
contain photographs from all parts OF
the state showing just what sort Of
schools Oregon can boast Of and how
they are constructed.
A number of private institutions have
sent excellent showings which are on
display with the rest Of the state ex-
hibit. Oregon's schools are being very
widely advertised and those who are in
tending to move to the western state can
see just what educational facilities she
offers for the younger members of the
families.

A teamster who was standing holding
a handsome pair OF heavy draft horses
on the upper deck OF a steamboat dock
waiting for his wagon to be pushed up

wife and several chubby children stood

the Oregonian. II have been living In
Crook county for the past year." was
the reply, "but concluded emigrating

A FEW cAENIBAL BIRDS.
Some Fsathered Creatures That Prey
on Their FeIlows-Duek Hawks
Are worst Oaendsrs.

The most unpleasant items on the
bill of fare OF the bird kingdom are
birds themselves. writes a naturalist.
The most systematic cannibal among
birds is the peregrine falcon, or duck
hawk, and where birds are abundant
this fastidious gourmand merely eats
the flesh Of the head and neck and
eyes OF each victim, leaving the re-
mainder of the body untouched. Oc-
casionally, as among other animals,
a bird OF strictly vegetarian habits will
attack another bird, even one OF its own
kind, and kill and eat 1t In the most
matter Of fact way.
Perhaps every order Of the higher
warm blooded animals may be in
cluded in the list from the sloth.
which mutely resigns itself to the ter
rible grip of harpy eagle, to the
human child, powerless before the at
tack OF some bird of prey frenzied
with hunger In certain districts
eagles and hawks have been shot
smelling strongly Of skunk, but
whether that fearless animal really
figured, except accidentally, in their
diet. is to be doubted. II any group of
mammals Is to be entirely excepted 1t
is only that Of the whales. The small
er gnawers Of wood. the rodents, suf-
fer most heavily. and untold thou
sands are devoured by hawks and
owls, while cranes. shrikes and ducks
make way with their share, and even
flamingoes will chase and devour q
mouse with avidity.

A Sailors story-eY Himself.

An old sea captain, who wooed and
won his wife in very brief courtShip,
is wont to describe with deep-chested
chuckles the plight from which he res
cued her at their first meeting. 1t was
in the early days of the crinoline, and
the girl, dressed in her best, had come
down to the wharf to meet her father,
also captain, whose vessel had been
sighted at the mouth of the harbor.
The wind was strong, and she soon
found herself in difficulties, says Tit
Bits.
First | ever saw o my wife," says
the captain, she was a gal-a fine,
able, saucy-looking craft, all sail set
an scudding before the wind straight
for the end o. Timmin's Wharf, let
ting off distress signals as she went.
Her canvas was more'n she could
stand up under, an she knew 1t; but
she couldn't take in sail, an every
sheet and stay held, an there she
druv-straight for the end O. the
wharf an fifteen feet O. water She
was in distress, an tell you she let
folks know it. You'd oughter heard
her. Foghorns an minute guns are
whispers to a bowling hurricane side
O. the yells she KEEP letting off all the
way; but she couldn't help herself,
and there she druv.
"'Ahoy" snid |. Something wrong,
my gal, amt there? Seems to me you
don't mind your hellum,' and with that
| put out my arms straight an she
blew into EN-, gasping out, Stop me"
An stop her did, with the loose ends
of her rigging whipping round my
ears, and her fingers clinched in my
collar, she was that skeered.
"'EeaSy, says |, 'e-easy, now, and
brung to longside O. Bill Farnaby, safe
in port an all's well. Only next time
you're out when it's blowing half a
gale, jest you take n reef in them
togs, grapple to fence post, or keep
a mile away from the ocean.
Thank YOU says she, dropping
my collar an turnin' pink, 4 will,
Capt. Farnaby; but this time there
wasn't any fence post
"'There was a man, an that does
as WELL says |.
"'An' | think maybe it does, Capt
Farnaby,' says she; If he's kind
enough not to mind bein' choked.'
What's a little choking?' says L.
Choke away. And next month We was
married"
