Brother Of Judge Parker Lives I'm As
TORN, Oregon

A brother of Judge Alton B. Parker,
democratic nominee for president lives
in Astoria, Oregon, in the person OF
Eugene B. Parker, grocery clerk in
the store of A. V. Allen. He has re-
sided there for the past year, coming
from Seattle. He first worked for Ross,
Higgins & Co. for few months and
was highly thought of by that firm, as
he was an expert window dresser and
was we'll liked by customers of the store
but he transferred to the A. V. Allen
store upon receiving very lattering
offer.
He is q married man, with two young
children, and had completely concealed
his identity as the brother of so distin-
guished man as Judge Parker. His
associates in business had no knowledge
of it, and his family never mentioned it
to their friends. When approached on
the subject he at first denied that Judge
Parker was his brother and said there
was some mistake; but finally half ack-
nowledged it to be "A fact, saving he had
hoped it would not be discovered, as he
knew it would bring him into publicity,
which he wished to avoid.
He refused to talk about his early
home life or his brother upon any con-
dition, and said he had not seen Judge
Parker and that he did not correspond
with him or any member of his family.
Even to his personal friends and mem
oers of his family he absolutely refused
to say word aboutJudge Parker, except
to say that he had no reason to be
ashamed to be his brother, and from
what he could learn he had an excel
lent chance for election.
Mr. Parker is man about 40 years
of age. and stands we'll in Astoria, al
though he is not of an obtrusive person
ality, and few are really acquainted
with him. His pre- sent alarm is that he
will now become an object of curiosity,
and that it will interfere with his EN-
ployer's business. He is a democrat in
politics, but has not taken any active
interest in the party in that city.

The accommodations are for fifty patients but since the state has been in charge the occupants will not average over ten a day, while the death rate will not exceed over three a month. The only diseases that seem prevalent among the convicts are pneumonia and consumption. Typhoid fever is almost wholly unknown.
 The doctors in charge are required to make an autopsy of a convict when one dies and submit a full report to the con vict board. The training for the young medical student who Is fortunate enough to secure a position here Is invaluable. It was at that same hospital. when under control of the Tennessee company, that Governor Cunningham received fifteen years experience that enabled him to take such high rank among the surgeons Of the country.
