orable, upright and useful. He
was married twice, the first time to
Miss Ida Cross. A daughter, Lucy,
was born to them, who is now the
wife of Mr.. Carpenter at Rector,
Ark. Some years after the death
of his first wife he was united in
marriage to Miss Bette Davis.
Five children were born of this
union, the eldest being boy of

The faint, preliminary rumors Of the
city election due in December, are flut-
tering about Astoria; and in figuring
out things and people and measures and
methods incidental thereto, as is done
in an unconcerned sort Of way at this
early day, two questions Of some signi-
fcance present themselves, casually, so
TO speak, and they are; Does the new
direct primary law apply to city elec.
tions. and II so, will II be applied TO
the forthcoming event in Decemberf
The Historian has. lis own opinion on
both propositions, but desiring TO have
something official, and legal, a reporter
called upon City Attorney A. N. Smith,
yesterday afternoon and propounded
tie inquiries. Mr. Smith replied in
terms that practically answer both
questions in the Affirmative. He is of
the opinion that the law does apply to
the city elections, but had not gone
into the subject at any length with
view of rendering direct opinion. This
he will do today, and the public will
have the benefit of his deductions at
once.
II goes without saying that il the city
attorney concludes the law is applicable,
he will recommend its adjustment 20 toe
coming local contest and the council
and city officers will make their pre-
pantions therefore in conformity with
the new statute.
In this event, the primaries must be
held as early as possible in November
in order to afford. sufficient time for
campaigning, and, ad interim, il win
pay every citizen 10 look up the law and
find out just what is expected Of him.

away with all conventions and that any

nominee for any Office, and that every
voter must, I'M fact, do duty at two el. |

II was during one of Mrs, Sangster 8
western trips, in vast amphltheater
which had been erected beside beau
+iful lake. Here, from Sabbath to SAD
bath. noted preachers came from a.,
over the country, and crowds gathered
70 hear them. One Sunday Mrs. sang
stAr and her intimate friend, Mrs. Ter
hume Marion Harlan0, decided to at
fond one Of these meetings. In order
to reach the place they had 70 cross
the lake. They were detained on uhe
way, and the house was full by tne
time they arrived. The only space
left was on the platform, and tnere
were no vacant chairs. TWO OF inc
most distinguished gentlemen present
saw the dilemma, and started out In
search of chairs. Soon they returned
and forced their way through tne
dense mass of people, each OF the TWO
bearing above his head a dim1nutlVe
rocking chalk painted in a consplcu-
GUS tint of light blue. Even the most
serious reflections upon the sacredness
of the time and place could not re-
strain the amusement Of the two la
dies as their knights forged to the
front with these very funny chairs.
They had arms and were over-small
for their recipients, but they managed
10 make themselves comfortable, and
gradually Gained themselves in prepa-
ration for the exercises which shortly
succeeded.
During a brief lull a strange woman
near Mrs. Sangster nudged her and
whispered loudly, us that man DR..

clergyman.

The woman had scarcely ceased
when the distinguished preacher whom
she had been describing arose without
any introduction, as was his habit and
advanced like a whirlwind to the front
Of the platform. Stretching out his
long arms, with a small Bible in his
right hand, he began, in his own pc
culiar, rasping, and yet not disagree
able voice, The ta-astlmOnies of the
