Hail to the Chief"

Mrs. Annie Hawkins returned last
Saturday evening from Los Angeles,
where she attended the session of the
Pacific Jurisdiction of Women of
Woodcraft and was honored by being
reelected to the office of Grand Man
ager, without opposition. With the
other Oregon Representatives she was
also instrumental in having the head
quarters of the order established at
Portland.
In recognition of her efficient serv-
ices and the prestige which the high
office brings to our city, Svrluga Circle
prepared reception in her honor
which perhaps surpassed all previous
affairs of that nature in the history of
Toledo. 1t is easy to believe there was
no prettier scene in Oregon Saturday
night than the interior of Woodmen
Hall. The beautiful and appropriate
decorations reflected much artistic
skill and considerable hard labor. -

Mrs. Emma Crosno presided at the
piano-aud this is sufficient proof that
good music was feature. Miss Addie
Harrison read the interesting legend of
"Jump off joe one of the famous
rocks on the beach at Nye Creek. The
Circle guards made some pretty evolu.
tions and escorted the Grand Manager
to the seat of honor, after which Neigh.
Dor Otto Krogstad made brief but
pleasing address of welcome, embody-
ing the principles of Woodcraft and a
definition of Fraternity. Mrs Hawkins
gave an interesting account of her eX.
perience in California, including TRIP
to Catalina Island on a rough sea
While her description of this trip was
far from complete, victims OF nal de
mer pardoned the omissions.
The banquet room was a thing o
beauty and joy while it lasted. Here
too, the pretty decorations were in evi
dence. but, naturally, they failed tc
hold first place as an attraction. There
was an abundance of delicious viands-
Just like mother used to make-but
strange as it may seem, their weigh
failed to bring single groan from tn
tables. In this respect, also, the ban
quet was unique.
A jolly good social time and few
rounds of "Bingo," in six-eight time
brought the very pleasant affair to
close just before Sunday morning.

The Crabs are bound to have revenge
and are coming back next Sunday with
some new players. 4 hot game is ex-
pected.
Since the above was put in type, we
find the following in the Albany Her.
aid of Tuesday, May 8:
"The baseball game at Toledo, be-
tween the Yaquina City team, headed
by Conductor "Billy" Hoehein, and the
Toledo Tigers, the latter greatly
strengthened by the addition of a num-
Der of Siletz Indian boys who have
played with the Chemawa team for
years, resulted in defeat for the rail
road men. The train men yesterday
reluctantly acknowledged that they
lost the game, but did not give the
score, but parties in from Lincoln
county said it was % to g. Yaquna
City will see constant practice for the
next few weeks when the two teams
are to meet again, and the losers of last
Sundays game are determined to wipe
out the disgrace of defeat when they
next face the Toledo ball players. The
game was witnessed by about all the
population in Lincoln county,"
THE LEADER will not even try to guess
the source of the Herald's information
1t is possible, though, that all players
looked alike to some OF the Yaquina
boys on that eventful day, hence the
error. The only "Siletz Indian boy
in the game was Albert Martin, who
went in as backstop for Yaqnina aftel
Jesse Reeder was retired by an injured
thumb. Excuse MS while we laugh.

the Water Front saloon, where she
awaits inspection. The boat has been
equipped with a new boiler and thor

One of the comparatively new addi.
tions to the English language is the
word "knocker," as applied to the in
dividual who is against every proposi
ton or enterprise OF which he is moi
the originator, or on which he has uo
been consulted The "knocker" is
not always noisy. Sometimes he moves
quietly about the streets and into store
wherever he spies willing listener
and discharges his little load OF poison
without attracting general attention
Day after day he circulates among hi
fellow.citizens in this manner until he
succeeds in convincing few of the
thoughtless that he is man of extra
ordinary shrewdness and much import
ance The majority, however, thor
oughly understand the "knocker" anC
treat him with silent contempt. AS he
pleases himself immensely and does nc
real harm in the world, the temptation
to knock the knocker on the head witt
Il feather Is easily resisted.

Recounizinu Norway

The bloodless revolution started by the Norwegian storthing stands ap- proved by King Oscar and the Swed- ish riksdag summoned to an extra ordinary session. King Oscar said in his speech from the throne that "the union is not worth the sacrifice which acts of coercion would entail" and the government laid before the riksdag bill to pave the way for settlement involved in the separation of the king doms.
 Norway thus secures what the Con federate states could not secure-se- cession without bloodshed or serious opposition. Norway's luck is due to the good sense and clear perception of King Oscar. "A union in which Norway would be forced would be of little value to Sweden" said the King in his speech, and he spoke with rare good sense.
 Premier Ramstedt proposes to en- ter into negotiations which will make the two countries one so far as az gression on the part of other countries is concerned, although they will be- come two for every other purpose. He proposes to meet Norway in conven- ton in which all matters of separa- tion can be cleared up and defined, and steps taken that will "be con ducive to the mutual welfare of the two countries" Who can say here after that the world does not move when such things can be and not ex- cite our special wonder?
 Norway is proceeding slowly and deliberately. She may select a king, or she may become a republic. In either case she will in due course send representative to Washington, and then no doubt President Roose- velt will recognize the new country. King Oscar is too good a man to be pained by untimely action. As soon, however, as Norway is ripe she will be promptly welcomed by the United States to the family of nations.

TALL TOWER PLANNED.
tbe New York Tribune-

From the New York Tribune.
 Plans are now under consideration by the Metropolitan Life Insurance company to complete It's building by the erection of a tower, which shall make 1t 560 feet high-probably the tallest building in the world.
 The company's home office building oc- cupies most of the block bounded by Madison avenue Twenty-third and Twen- ty-fourth streets and Fourth avenue. It is on the Twenty-fourth street and Mad ison avenue corner, now occupied by pr. Parkhurst's church, that the "tallest tower" is to be built-so tall as to dwarf the height of St. Gaudens Mercury of the Madison Square tower.
 The site of the Metropolitans tower has frontages of some 175 feet in Madi- son avenue and 150 feet in Twenty-fourth street. Preliminary sketches have al- ready been drawn by Napoleon Le Brun & Sons, the architects of the building
 "The tower will perhaps make 1t the tallest building in the world" MT. Le Brun told a Tribune reporter last night of the tower, which will be for an archi- tectural effect"
 1t is understood that the company will not take possession of the tower until Dr. Parkhrust's congregation shall bo ready to move into its new edifice across the street.

FAIRBANKS IN OHIO.
Vice President Attends Commence
 ment at His Alma Mater.

Delaware, O., June 22.-Rev Dr. Her bert welch until recently pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church at Mount Vernon. N. r., and widely known in the east, was today formerly installed as president of the Ohio Wesleyan univer. sity The ceremonies were simple and in- cluded brief addresses by distinguished guests, among them being Vice President c. w. Fairbanks, who graduated in 1872.
 Mrs Cornella Cole Fairbanks of the class of 1872, wife of Vice President Fair banks, was given the honorary degree of Master of Arts, the same degree being also conferred on Miss Mariana Young of Japan.

Senafor Mitchell on Trial.

One scandal doth tread on another's heel so fast they follow in the present administration. The latest scandal re- lates to the public land grabbers, and Senator John H. Mitchell of Oregon has actually been placed on trial. The trial is now progressing before Judge De Haven. federal judge sitting at Portland, Ore.
 A correspondent of the Boston Transcript asserts that within the last fifteen years there has been stolen from the public domain not less than 150, 100000 acres-an area which would make thirty states of the size of Massachusetts" Wheat lands were stolen in California and Oregon, graz ing lands in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyo- ming and Montana, and timber lands in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Ore gon and northern California. The trial ol Mitchell relates to the stealing of timbered lands The Interior Depart ment is endeavoring now to lock the stable door after the horse had been stolen.
 The easy terms of the homestead law and the law in favor of soldiers widows have both been grossly abused, and as a rule the land office men winked at the grafters especially when fees were promptly paid. Sena- tors and representatives have also promoted the thefts. They have tinkered the homestead law until it serves the grafters rather than a bona fe, farmer farmer. The grafters util- ize all acts-the timber culture law the desert land act and the forest re- serve act. One man in California holds title to fifteen million acres of public land.
 The Mitchell trial will serve to bring up the doings of the grafters, and perhaps it may lead to the exer- else of a little honesty hereafter in as well as out of Congress when the public lands are the stake.

doing. It is long road to the purif- cation of municipal politics in this country. It means a long course of education.
 Munieipalization has received a black eye at the hands of the expert called here to point the way to it's establishment. He sees, in short, that the situation shuts the Glasgow plans out. They are feasible in Glasgow, but absolutely impraeticable here, be- cause our city governments are politi- cally rotten.
 A city that cannot see it's way clear to the utter elimination of all political influence in street railways should never even consider municipalization, for it would bring trouble and disas- ter only. No cities are so corrupt as American cities, and MT. Dalrymple sees the situation, and he does not hesitate to speak his mind openly and

Death of Mir. BeckWiih.

In the accident to the Twentieth Century limited train at Mentor, o., Samuel c. Beckwith was killed. He had long been the advertising repre- sentative in New York of The Age Herald. He was the head of firm made up of three brothers, and none stood higher than he in the work to which the active years of his life had been devoted. Cut off in the prime of his usefulness and in the full tide of success, he will be greatly missed and his death will be widely deplored.
 The firm will be maintained by the two surviving brothers, and The Age Herald will continue to be efficiently represented in the metropolis, but the head of the firm has gone to his re- ward, leaving behind many mourning souls. All who knew him soon came to esteem and cherish him as a de- voted friend and warm-hearted man.

Yellow Fever at Panama.

Colonel Gorgas, the chief sanitary officer of the canal zone. is striving in the face of many obstacles, to prevent the spread of yellow fever at the isth- mus. In the absence of pure water supplies and of adequate drainage and the presence of unacclimated persons, and of filth and general sloyenliness among the natives, he has not been and cannot we'll be wholly successful. In view of his fine record at Havana all feel, however, that he Is doing all that any other man in his position could do.
 Given time enough he will render the canal zone wholesome and habit able even by the unacclimated. This calls for drainage and pure water, not only at Panama and Colon, but also at all the camrs and hamlets between the two ports. Before another sum mer this will be accomplished, but it has not been and could not be done in time for use in the present hot season of the year.
 A panic prevails at the isthmus, and all persons from the United States are leaving the isthmus. Many have left, The fever is prevalent and oftentimes fatal, and it is not at all probable that it will be rushed out until cooler weather comes again. The natives will not boil the water they drink, and no precautions can render secure the health of the unaccllmated under pres ent conditions in the canal zone. At the best when drainage and pure water are at hand the climate of the isthmus is unfriendly to the white man. It is damp, hot and disease breeding. Only the acclimated can at present successfully face it, and they are either natives or Jamaicans.

THE LATERAN HOLY TABLE.

From the London Tablet.
 Like so many other relics, doubt has sometimes been cast on the authenticity of the Holy Table at St. John Lateran's. But it would seem as if the doubt rested on no stronger foundation than the mere absence of detailed historical proofs. It is probable though not certain, that the Holy Table was brought to Rome by the Empress Helena, together with the Holy Cross and other memories of the Passion, and it is quite certain that in the tenth century the table had already been yong preserved in St. Johns. It used to be kept at the high altar, whence it was transferred in the tenth century to the chapel of St. Thomas, and from there in the eighteenth century to the loggia in the apse. until 1t was finally moved by Plus TX. to its present shrine over the altar of the Blessed sacrament The table Cor rather the large part of it which is still preserved is of cedar; 1t measures about five feet square and is over an inch in thickness

BIG LINER.
Went Through Whale Like Knife
 Through Butter.

From the New York Sun.
 frolicsome young whale Twas observed skylarking in midocean on Wednesday afternoon in the course of the American liner Philadelphia, in last night from Southampton and Cherbourg. The whale apparently was unfamiliar with the hab- its of liners that travel on schedule. and he spouted and waved his flul1es as if the ocean were his back yard. The outlook in the Philadelphia's crow nest and the officers on the bridge kept an eye on the whale, which seemed oblivious to the Philadelphia's approach. He did not sig nal whether he would go to port or star board, and the Philadelphia kept right on. So did the whale. He found out too late to alter his course that it might have been wiser to give the right of way to the liner. As he turned at right angles with the liner her stem cut him in halves as cleanly as a carving knife might divide firkin of butter. The bow end of him gasped a bit and his fiukes were tremulous awhile. Nobody except the officers and the lookouts knew any thing about the tragedy, as it made no impression whatever on the ship. A para graph In the wireless paper contained for most of the passengers the first in- formation that whale had been killed.

EFFECTS OF LAUGHTER
 BENEFICIAL PHYSICALLY
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
 1 HE immediate physical results of NY indulgence in laughter are numer-
 ous. In the first place, the act of laughing involves the exercise of large number of muscles, including many of those of the face, neck, chest and abdomen, which. if they are exercised sufficiently, often become corresponding ly well developed, as do also all those glands, blood vessels, nerves and other tissues in intimate connection with them. The facial muscles, for example, of the man who laughs often and easily are generally developed to a degre which gives him the facial rotundity of con tented child. But laughter accomplishes much more than the production of this mere outward appearance of well-being. It has a highly beneficial influence on those two vital organs the heart and the lungs.
 During what is called fit" of laugh ter the lungs may be almost completely emptied of their contained air. Fresh air Is then drawn into the fullest extent of their capacity, initiating. perhaps. those little-used air cells which contained pre- vlously only stagnant air and bacilli-for

ScHURZ MAKES ADDRESS.
Says Republic Should Stand as Gen
 tIeman Among Nations.

Madison, Wis, June 22.-The commence ment day address at the University Of Wisconsin was delivered this afternoon by Hon. Carl Schurz of New York He said in part:
 "The republic should stand as the gem tleman par excellence among nations, a gentleman. scorning the role of swash- buclSler whose hip pocket bulges With loaded six-shooters, and who hasnes pig diamonds on his fingers and shirt front' a gentleman modest in the consciousness of strength, carrying justice, forbearance and conciiaton on his tongue ana pen evolence in his hand. rather than a chip on his shoulder. As this republic IS 10 endure and to be successful in It's high est mission, it must put it's trust rather in schools than in battleships.
 President Van Hise in an address se- verely scored "tainted'' fortunes and de- plored the upbuildng of universities by such means.
 The degree of doctor of laws was con ferred on Carl Shurz.

In the shallow breathing we ordinarily practice comparatively large tracts of air cells are not used. During this process the general circulation is accelerated, impure air Is hurried out of the system and fresh air hurried in. With the forci- Die ascent and descent of the diaphragm during inspiration and expiration the liver and other abdominal organs undergo kind of kneading not unlike that un- dergone during massage, and which is of great benefit in rousing them from that torpor to which they are liable. The heart is also stimulated to more vigorous contraction during the active cachinna- tory process, Persons who, so to speak, let themselves go and laugh with will, sometimes bring almost all the principal muscles of their body into play, twisting, turning, and bending themselves almost double in sheer muscular exhilaration
 It is matter of everyday experience that one feels the peter for good laugh, an explosion of laughter being, in truth, a nerve storm, comparable in it's effect to thunderstorm in nature (on very small scale)' doing good by dissipating those oppressive clouds of care which sometimes darken the mental horizon.
