Police Judge Anderson yesterday de-
llvered scathing rebuke to a young
woman named Jeanette Pierce, who
had been arrested for disorderly con-
duct. The woman seemed to regard
the incident as a huge joke, and as she
sat in the dock with four other pris-
oners a broad smile illuminated her
countenance. She had been arrested
during the morning and promptly and
rather lightly responded Guilty" to
the charge preferred against her. Her
attitude thoroughly angered the court,
and the roast which came from the
bench was probably the most severe
ever delivered in the police court.
Judge Anderson referred to the brazen
effrontery Of the woman, expressing
the view that she must have been lost
TO all sense Of decency to make light
OF her predicament. Miss Pierce was
br0iigh. 20 an acute realization Of the
fact that thers was nothing funny
about the matter. fer the court scored
her as woman was never before scored
in the local court She was fined $40.
or 10 days in jail.

L. W. Crichton of Portland writes
the following letter to The Astorian:
"The keeper Of the city park wants
another seal, but he does not want it
unless It is large one. Now, II 1t is
possible for any Astoria fisherman to
catch large seal the keeper of the
park viii give IS for 1t, He will not
however, accept a small seal, The
reason is this. The small seal recent
ly shipped from Astoria got tame too
easily and lay on the bank out of water,
while the large seals lay on the rocks
In the center Of the pond and swim
around in the water and amuse the
public. The keeper wants rusher and
a growler. II you can be the means Of
securing such an animal, you will
have the everlasting regards of the
children of Portland who every Sun
day watch the pond in the park" Any
fisherman who catches a large seal Is
requested to notify the editor of The
Astorian and the animal will be sent
to the keeper Of the Portland park.

&C. Paimberg, who improved Frank
lin avenue from Ninth to Twelfth
street, states that, Notwithstanding the
protest OF the property owners, the
work was done according to specifica-
tions. According to Mr.. Palmberg, the
contract called for only one inch Of
fine rock and screening, and the small
rock. he explains soon worked to the
bottom. The work was done in the
manner provided, and that the Inn
provement was not successful was not
his fault. He states that he is now
engaged in removing some Of the
heavy rock, and that he will replace
1t with smaller rock. The same diff
Guilty was experienced on Exchange
and Sixteenth streets, where the coarse
rock is being removed. While the work
is going on the streets will be fenced
of, so that teams may not pass over
them. When the fine rock is laid the
owners will have no cause for
complaint.

ian Church-Russian, Greek, Arnle- nian, Roman (with all it's various sec tions) Coptic, and the various Protes- tants nations-is trying to secure some historic or legendary site; and, this se- cured, up goes a building destroying the natural configuration of the site, absolutely obliterating the associations that the scene would call up if left un- touched. Well may a modern writer exclaim, even of St. Helena, What right had even the ancients to build church here?" To-day the Russians are the most aggressive. In 5S0 A. D., Theodocius counted twenty-six church. es on the Mount of Olives, but they were not such mighty buildings as the Russians are erecting there to-day, with all the glare of colored and gild- ed domes; and on the summit of the Mount rises their great high tower that dominates the whole country round While bathing in the Dead Sea I looked up, and there. in the sky, as 1t were, was this peaked Russian tower These new buildings on the Mount of Olives are all additional to the great walled square of Russian building out side the wall on the Jaffa road. The last place to have been walled round is that little hill just outside the Damas- GUS Gate, still called Golgotha by the Jews. It is no longer possible now to climb this little hill, and look back to the East on the Mount of Olives, and away to Mount Zion on the southwest This site, where Gordon claimed that Christ suffered, was almost, until to- day, free from all building as in His age, and free from superstitious rite and also legend. The Garden tomb be- meath it is still unspoiled, although the custodian has his little house in the Garden. One pays small fee to look into this rock-cut tomb, and, be it the tomb of Christ of not it is, indeed, a tomb of that period, beneath the hill that answers so rninutely to the des- cription of the hill of Calvary. Here is no incessant chatter of professional prayer, no tricky decorations of the lamps of fighting sects, nor those awful deceptions of holy fire coming forth from the rock, or such statements hurled at the would-be reverent as through this crack the blood of Christ trickleds down onto the head of Adam. who was buried just under and awoke him." Is there no means of securing that this little hill and this tomb may be saved from such desecration?- London Standard

HAsHEEsH IN EGYPT.
Many Ways in Which the Potent Drug
 Is Struggled.

Many Ways in Which the Potent Drug Is Struggled.
 The Egytian in satisfying his passion for the dream giving hasheesh seeks to baffie the English customs in many odd ways At Alexandria there is veri- table museum, where are stored pianos, picture frames, biscuit boxes, table legs, books, dernijohns and refrigerators. In all these articles smugglers had stored hasheesh. Despite the vigilance of the English officials, it is estimaeed that not more than one-tenth of the baneful drug imported into Egypt is discovered.
 An Egyptian smoker of hasheesh is even more helpless slave than the Chinese opium fiend. He knows that in the end he will become madman, yet he rushes toward the awful goal with unrelaxed speed. With the strange exaltation which first comes to the smoker, he feels himself floating from cloud to cloud, or alighting in the gardens of palaces, all his own; or swimming with mermaids through the opalescent depths of the sea. And
 
 lieves that he can woo back his fondest dreams with little more potent dose.
 Most of the hasheesh which Egypt consumes comes from Greece. From the husks of hemp seeds and the tender tops of the hemp plant the Greeks manufacture a greenish powder, whose fumes bring the ecstasy its victims de- sire The profits of those who success fully smuggle the drug into the ancient land of the Pharaohs are tremendous. Outside of Egypt hasheesh sells for 50 cents a pound. In the country adjoin- ing the Nile it costs as much as $5. Not long ago a great number of table legs were unloaded on a wharf at Alex andria, consigned to an interior point. In unloading the legs into Nile skiff, a stevedore chanced to break one in two. Before long he was dancing about stretching hls arms over his head, lift ing his feet as high as his waist with every step and muttering:
 "Lei me have hell, too, I am ruler of heaven; why should not my domain in- clude hell also?
 On examination it was found that about half of the table legs were hol- low, and were filled with the green dust of hasheesh, and the stevedore had helped himself literally from the storehouse he had discovered.

YESTERDAY,s STOCK MAKKEY.
A Drop of Over a Point in Consolidated
 Road.

New York, May 25.-The closing out of contracts yesterday by the disgusted traders who had come into the stock market under the influence of the Sat power in the market. The reaction in- vited some short selling in the effort to extend the downward movement so as to yield traders profit on the short side But this was timidly pursued and with the subsequent steadying of the market the trading became virtually stagnant. Efforts to trade seemed to be abandoned in despair of achieving any movement of prices. Selling for London account had some influence on the early heaviness although it was in very light volume. The impression h4as produced by the employment of houses having connections with those cities that Chicago and Philadelphia orders
 were responsible for the selling of some os the leading stocks. A drop of over a point in New York and Hartford was the only concrete effect of the strike of freight handlers. But the labor diffi- culey on that road was of oppressive in< fiuence on the trading. The immobility of prices in Wall street and the stag nation os the trading are evidence of the waiting for developments in the general situation. The extent to which
 the ability to meet fixed obligations may be impaired by the downward course of business must be ascertained before confidence returns to the specu- Ilative world. The incidents of the day were few and were of little influence. iThe outgo of $2,25O,O0O gold tomorrow lis practically offset by additional re- Ieeipts of Japanese gold and the transfer of government deposits from banks co
