MAY NOT WAIT.
For Albany Evening Loeal-That
Would Mean no More Round Trips
to Portland in one day.

Jack Mayo, the well known rail-
road man and former Corva1lisite
was in town for an hour Thursday.
In addition to his duties as traffic
manager of the Astoria railroad, he
has recently been made general
freight and passenger agent of the
Corvallis & Eastern, and Thursday
stopped over enroute on business
trip from Yaquina to Portland.
The proposed change of time on
the Albany local, referred to else
where, may interfere seriously with
the Corvallis train facilities. The
local is scheduled to leave Portland
al six in the evening, arriving In
Albany so late that the G. & E.
evening train cannot wait for it.
The consequence would be that
the round trip to Portland in day
could no longer be made, and that
at time when it is most desirable,
viz,-during the fair. It would
also put the Portland evening pa
pers in this city out of business In
a large measure, as they would not
reach Corvallis until the morning
Albany mail.
The only way to obviate the
difficulty would be for the evening
train to wait the arrival of the Al
bany local from Portland at nine
o'clock, but that, Mr.. Mayo says
it is not likely to be done because
it would involve an extra railroad
crew, which would not pay. All
in all, the prospect for the evening
train service, at the moment, is moi
favorable.

SOLD HIS WOOL.
At Twenty Eight Cents Something
About a Small Boys Transaction.

Eighteen dollars and twenty
cents was what a fourteen year old
boy, who halls from the north of
town sold hisswoo1 for Thursday.
His name is Wilson, and his $500
was the wool product form only five
sheep. It is big story, but it is
a act,-this $3.50 for the wool
from only five sheep. The aver
age per head was 1854. This is
nearly four times what some sheep
sold for last fall, and yet it is only
what the wool went at, and the
youngster has the sheep left. The
average fleece was 13 pounds, and
the price was 2S cents per pound.
The five sheep were pets that the
boy rescued as orphans year ago
and has since cared for on his
father farm. 1t is probably one
of the best sold wool clips of the
year, and one of the best handled
focks of sheep, and'it was all done
by boy.
On the same day wool was de-
1ivered in town that was contracted
months ago that went at only 20
cents per pound. The price rose
Wednesday to 28 cents and itstood
at that figure Thursday, and had
not yet fallen yesterday, though a
drop was expected. Only small
lots scattered here and there, like
that of the thrifty lad from the di-
rection of Soap Creek, remain un-
sold. The wool price is the high
est touched in Oregon in 80 or 40
years.

ster. when he would save both his own
life and that of the fish. Meeting Lee
vlathan, he exhibited the seal of Abra-

away a distance of two days. To re-
ward him for this service the, fish
showed Jonah all the wondrous things
in the ocean (e. g., the path of the Is.
raelites across the Red Sea; the pillars
upon which the earth rests). Thus he
spent three days and three nights in
the belly Of the fish, but would not
pray. God then resolved to put him
into another fish where he would be-
less comfortable. Cramped for room
and otherwise made miserable, Jonah
finally prayed, acknowledging the fu--

A Monkeys Inteili1enoe.

An extraordinary instance of the In
telligence Of monkey in the Royal
Park, Melbourne. Australia, has been
chronicled. A monkey in a large cage
was trying to reach a nut which had
been thrown down on the gravel path.
Putting its arm through the bars and
stretching as far as possible, it found
that the nut was just beyond his reach.
There was straw on the floor of the
cage, and going to the back, where 1t
evidently expected to find the straw
less damaged, 1t tested straw after
straw, discarding them one by one, not
thinking them strong enough for the
purpose. At last it found satasfac-
tory one, returned with 1t to rne front
of the cage, and very quickly, with this
aid, hooked the nut close enough to be
picked up.

etails Of His Experience from Rab

When Jonah went to Joppa he found
no ship, for the vessel on which he in
tended taking passage had sailed two
days before his arrival; but God
caused contrary wind to arise and
the ship was driven back to port In
his Joy Jonah paid his passage money
in advance, contrary to the usual Gus
tom, which did not require payment
until the conclusion Of the voyage. Ac-
cording to some, he paid even the full
value Of the ship, amounting to 1000
gold denarfi. When the storm arose
the kind-hearted sailors, evidently re-
specting the rich passenger, first low.
cred Jonah only far enough for the
water to reach his knees. Seeing that
the storm subsidized, they drew him
back into the ship, whereupon the sea
at once arose again. The sailors re-
peated the operation several times with
the same result each time lowering
him deeper and deeper, until finally
they threw him into the sea.
The fish which swallowed Jonah was
created in the very beginning of the
world for that special purpose. There
fore this fish had so large a mouth and
throat that Jonah found 1t as easy Ia
pass into its belly as he would have
found 1t to enter the portals of a very
large synagogue 1t had eyes which
were as large as windows and lamps
lit up its interior. According to anoth-
er opinion. great pearl suspended in
the entrails of the fish enabled Jonah
to see all that was in the sea and in the
abyss. The fish informed Jonah that
he was to be devoured by Leviathan.
Jonah asked to be taken to the mon.

MAILS IN TIME OF WAR
Puzzling Questions Raised by Recent.
Acts of Russia.

Puzz1inR Questions Raised by Recent
Acts of Russia.
The present war bids fair to lead to-
some fuller understanding concerning
the status Of the mails in time of war,
says the New York Tribune. Russia
and Japan are both apparently acting
upon the theory that all mails consign-
ed to belligerent port are subject to
seizure as conraband of war, or at
least to detention and search. Japan
has contented herself with the seizure
Of mails sent out from Port Arthur
Russia has gone much farther than
! that in stopping British and German
ships In the Red Sea and taking from
them in bulk all mail sacks marked for
Japan.
The status of the mails in time Of
war has been the subject Of much con.
troversy, but has not been clearly de-
fined in treaties or in works on rter-
national law. Hostile dispatches, mill
tary orders and the like, excepting the
messages of ambassadors, have been
recognized as contraband and, Of
course, subject to seizure. Not only IL
the transportation of them equivalent
to the carrying Of contraband goods,
but the fraudulent transportation Of
them Is regarded as peculiarly hostile
act, subjecting the offending vessel to-
the severest penalty of confiscation.
Such is the argument of Sir William
Scott. But a regular mail-carrying YES
sci, which receives such dispatches In
the ordinary course Of mail carrying,
in ignorance of their character, is not,
according to Hautefeuille, subject to
penalty. The principles apply, OF
course, only to hostile dispatches. Or
binary mails of commercial, personal
or other acknowledgement character
should certainly enjoy a different; stat
us and would seem to be entitled to
exemption from seizure when under q
neutral flag.
Mr. Seward long ago expressed the
American view of the case when hE
said that there is no recognized sane
ton Of the principle that bona fide,
authenticated and sealed public mail
Of a friendly or neutral power, found
on commercial vessel navigating be-
tween two neutral ports, can be vio-
lated lawfully, either by a naval officer
or prize court, merely because the
vessel on which it is found Is searched
and seized as contraband."

proudly, and then cried and moaned
with the pain.
A few minutes later Sir Marmaduke
Seton was called to the telephone.

A quarter of an hour afterward he
entered the children's ward. His face
turned white as he gazed into the
child's blue eyes.

ly, and at the millionaire's word the
little one was taken into another
room.
While little Ruth slept Sir Marina
duke stayed by her side looking medi-
tatively at her face.
Duke Seton returned In about an
hour to his house. There was smile

But his wife was lying in faint on
the floor. Quickly he brought water
for her, but when she came round she
began to shrek wildly.

could say.
Then ensued twenty-four hours OF
agony to the distracted parents. In
the morning a policeman came and
tod them where the child was.
They rushed round to the hospital,
but when they were received with the
utmost respect and taken to a private
ward they wondered exec 1ingly.
With fearful cry Ruth ran to her
child and crooned over her. Duke
knelt by the other side OF the bed.

CHAPTER XXI,

deep, cloudless blue, save towards the
west, where the sun Is sinking into sea
of crimson light. Not a breath of air is
stirring-the trees are motionless; not
the culver Of leaf. There is a buzz of
insect life in the air, mingled with the
music of the birds. Upon a lawn, over
which is scattered numerous flower beds,
gay with bright colored blossoms, stretch
ing before a picturesque cottage covered
with roses, sit three men. One is young,
not more than twenty; the second is a
stout, ford, benevolent looking man;
the third Ia thin-yisaged, sad-looking,
with iron-gray hair. The three men
were I, Silas Morant, Mr.. Jonathan Rod
well, and my father. My father was
speaking-"What his ultimate intentions
could have been, l am at loss to un-
derstand. Probably to cast me, in my
insensible state, into the flames"
(Which, it seems, after all, he did not
kindle," said Mr.. Jonathan, shuddering
ar the remembrance.
"That is the most wonderful circum-
stance of all. Chance, or destiny. or
whatever you please to call it, had actu-
ally anticipated him, Porter must have

81 could not help plying the unfortu-
nate creature" said Mr.. Jonathan, "in
spite of the evil she had wrought. She
at least deserved better fate than to
perish by the brutal violence of the man
whom she loved SO devotedly."
lA
er, what divine mercy it was that
only one Of the kilograms fell into that
wretched mans hands, 1t appears that
the lad had put one in his pocket-the
one addressed to you, Mr.. Rodwell-and
was holding the other in his hand, when
he ran against his master, who snatched
it from him and forbade him to leave
the house. The lad said nothing about
the other, but watched his opportunity
to leave the premises, and deliver it at
the office. The delay, however, was very
near proving fatal to more than one Of
u.s." ~ ~
"That unhappy man." said Mr.. Jona-
than. had telegraphed to say that he
would be with me that night. But
felt half inclined to start for Essex with
| out waiting for him, and chance the con-
dltlon OF the house. But look! here are
two old friends Of yours coming this
| way. Silas."
Such was the fact. Walking up the
| pathway towards the house were Martha
Jennings and Josiah Cook.
FASTENED to meet the good, kind crea-
ture who had sheltered me, fed me and
clothed me when 1 was houseless and
destitute. She was dressed with I'M
usual smartness-a white bonnet, blue
silk dress, and bright-colored, or rath-
er many-colored, shawl. Josiah was also
got up in an unusual style; bright green
satin necktie, buff waistcoat and white
hat.
After little conversation, the secret
| came out: the worthy pair had bsen mar
