The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1905-12-12

One Of the most successful Repuh-
licau rallies yet held occurred last ev.
ening in Pacific hall, uniontown, when
number OF prominent citizens spoke
on the main issues to be decided.
The meeting was called TO order by
Karl Knobloch. who acted as chairman.
The band played two pieces Of music
to the delight Of large audience. after
which Rev. l., ID, Malone was introduc.
ed and discussed tho local issues from
the standpoint Of the morality Of the
question. A comparison was made be-
tween Astoria and other cities OF the
same population rs to the expense and
showed that We are paying entirely
too much. Mr.. Malone was followed
by Dr. Fulton. lie was plain and above

that the people support the ticket for
good government,

speech. lie was emphatic in the posi-.

In politics, there are times when he can
make the most egregious blunders with
the least possible trouble, and he has
done it once more, to the "Queen's
taste" There were more than one
of them involved in the silly and child
ish game here chronicled, but that only
adds to the assinine character of the
farce Judge for yourselves.
A certain bunch who are assuming
to direct the features of the Demo-
cratic campaign in this city concluded
it would be smart idea to beguile the
Rev. Luther ID. Malone from his avow-
ed and disinterested course of checking
the plot to "open up the city again to
the gamblers and dance-hall people,"
and TO that end, E. NJ. Baker was
charged to make his acquaintance and
to prosecute the little trick these wor-
thies had conceived for his undoing

Then these two remotely separated
individuals bowed and parted. And to
make assurance douhly sure and to
guard against the treachery he knew
must be at the bottom of SO untowa,d
a proceeding, MIR. Malone, on his way
to keep the appointment yesterday,
dropped into Sheriff Linyille's office and
casually informed that gentleman and
his deputies of his purpose and made
other arrangements that precnded oil
possibility of "shenanigan," and went
thence to the Ninth street hcad-quart-
ers of the Astoria Democracy to meet
his urhane and solicitous friend, Mr.
Baker. Arrived there he was met by
that gentleman and several others of
his ilk, including the County Judge and
Mr.. Theodore +. l.aurin and several
more of the "open town" lineup, He
was smilingly greeted and bowed to a
seat, and after all polite preliminaries

antagonistic TO him in every detail and

he met but twenty-four hours earlier
man who was in no way adapted to
nor likely TO affiliate with him, nor his
methods. The farce was so plain, so
utterly beyond all reasonable probab-
ility of acceptance, and even of tend
er, under even more positive circum-
stances OF daily business life, that Mr..
Malone could but disgustedly, vet po-
litely, decline the extraordinary offer
and leave the Office, utterly and absolu-
tely convinced of the shallowness and
duplicity Of the Democrats in this cam
paign of theirs. During the pendency

Telephone an Aid to Matrimonv.

From the Utica Press
1t is needless to say that the telephone
is great institution. 1t has long been an
absolute essential In every place of bust
ness. Just now there is a great increas Sc
in the number Of phones in private houses
1t Is possible to talk with pretty much
everybody at his or her home. The COM
panles are evidently endeavoring to boom
that branch of their business. because they
are advertising 1t extensively. The other
day st. Louis paper had big display ad,
at the top of which was picture of an at
tractive young lady telephoning and repre-
scented as saying rs that you, Harry ?'
The text beneath 1t includes this state
ment: ut is a well known fact that the
girl who has a telephone Is the girl who
has the most friends and consequently has
the best time"
This appeal to the young people Is adroit
and doubtless will serve to make the St.
Louis exchange bigger and buster The
parents who have manageable daughters
viii do well to consider this ingenious con-
tr1vance and modern aid to matrimony 1t
Is something of a bother for a young man
to call or even to write a note asking the
young lady to go to the theater, go for a
walk or drive or ride to the park but
If he can transmit the message by tele-
phone 1t Is an easy way of making an ap-
pointment. Many delicious message is
telephoned these days and there is reason
to believe the statement made by the St
Louis company. 1t applies. of course, with
equal force in every American city. The
young ladies' for whom a life of single
blessedness has no charms are not exactly
buying a lottery ticket when they hire q
phone. They can get much pleasure and
comfort out of 1t as they go along, for it is
a constant contributor to convenience II
Is worth the price. with the enhanced mat
rimonial possibility thrown In as an extra
inducement.

PRESIDENTS HUNT A SUCCESS.
Five Bears in Two Days-Party Almost
Snowbound.

A dispatch from Chen wood Springs. Col,
last night says: President Roosevelt's hunt
ing trip has been crowned with success far
beyond his expectations or those Of the
most sanguine of his guides. Three bears
were killed by the party today. and two
yesterday. one by the President and one by
Dr. Lambert. z. y. Stewart OF Colorado
Springs. one OF the Presidents hunting COM
panions. arrived here tonight, accompanied
by Courier Chapman. They brought the story
OF the hunt. The killing OF the three bears
was telephoned to them. and they under
stood that President Roosevelt brought
down two of them, but the details are lack
ing.
The party is almost snowbound in its
present location, and no attempt will be
made to cross the divide. Fifteen feet of
snow Is on the ground the other side.
and any effort TO reach Red Stone would be
futile. The hunters satisfied, however,
for they have reached the center of what
the guides say is the best bear country in
Colorado.
Bob cats are thick in the country now
being hunted; plentiful. in fact that
many are allowed to escape without a shot
being fired in their direction. Several fine
skins have been taken. however.
The bear killed by the President yester-
day was of the brown variety not so
heavy. but furnishing a much finer pelt
than the first animal killed. One of the
bears killed today is said TO be a grizzly,
but this cannot be verified.

French Mothers.

Charles Wagner. in the Cosmopolitan.
There is one thing that French mothers
do not do enough. That is to separate from
their growing boys, to send them to the
school of life. outside the home, and into
situations where they must look after
themselves The mothers happiness Is COM
plete only with her children around her; let
life not keep them too much apart. From
this arise too fearsome ideas of distance
and too tinlid attachment to the natal
soil or the maternal city.
The difficulty Is that 1t Is very reluctantly
admitted among the French that the time
must come for the nesting to use It's own
wings. l have seen most excellent parents
worry themselves nearly to death because
a daughter will not acquiesce in their IDEAS
or wish to accept the husband of their
choice. To a son a daughter, very de-
voted but independent, 1t is often said, You
love me no longer"
But if we have touched here upon some
what delicate point. the good will and love
of the French mothers are above all praise,
even If sometimes farsightedness and
breadth of mind be somewhat lacking.

FORETELLING FROST.
A French Invention of Great Assist
ance to Plant Growers.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The season is at hands when millions of
florists and gardeners, both professional
and amateur. throughout the northern
United States will have to consider almost
every evening whether II is necessary or
not to perform the labor of sheltering young
plants from frost. All such will be inter
ested to know that there has lately been
devised in France an instrument by which
the occurrence Of frost in a given locality
can be quickly and quite accurately fore
told by any one.
Whether there Will be frost or not de-
ponds on the tension of the watery vapor
in the air. This can be measured by COM
pairing the reading of dry and wet bulb
thermometers The merits of the new
French instrument, which is called "pag-
oscope." is that it makes this comparison
mechanically and gives the result without
figuring.
The pagoscope consist of a board. at the
edges of which are placed a dry and wet
bulb thermometer. Between these is a plate
with horizontal divisions which correspond
to the degrees Of the dry thermometer and
a vertical scale which corresponds to the
degrees of the wet Thermometer. Across
the face of this plate lies needle, pivoted
at the bottom so that its point moves

About sunset the instrument IS hung
on a post in the open garden ground. At
the end of half an hour the two Their
mometers show their difference, what is
the tension of the water vapor In the
air. Then the point of the needle is placed
on the vertical scale at figure correspond
ing to the reading Of the wet thermometer.
and its point of crossing the horizontal line
corresponding to the dry thermometer is
observed.
If the plate is colored yellow at the point
of intersection. a freeze may be expected;
If red, frost is practically certain; If green,
frost need not be feared, unless, Of course.
there should be lowering of temperature
by the arrival of a cold wave" These,
however, are predicted with great accuracy
by the weather bureau, whose forecasts
should be taken into consideration before
deciding that 1t is not necessary to give
shelter from frost. But, of course, the
weather bureau cannot consider all local

Durability Of Bank Notes.
From the Philadelphia Record

That Uncle Sans notes stand a great
deal OF rough and careless handling is a
fact that impresses itself upon any one
who has ever CHANGED to note the manner
in which the average cashier pulls and
jerks the bills before he pushes them
through the window to the waiting pa
tron.
A single treasury note measures three
and one-eighth inches in width by seven
and one-quarter inches in length. 1t will
sustain, without breaking lengthwise, a
weight of forty-one pounds: crosswise, a
weight of ninety-one pounds. The notes
run four to sheet-a sheet being eight
and one-quarter inches wide by thirteen
and one-half inches long. One of these
sheets lengthwise will suspend los pounds
and crosswise lit pounds.
1t will be observed that a single note Is
capable of sustaining, crosswise, a weight
Of ninety-one pounds. which is twice the
amount by nine pounds Of the weight the
note can sustain lengthwise; while in the
case of the sheet the crosswise sheet lacks
thirty-nine pounds Of double the sustain
ing power Of the lengthwise sheet.
