Personal 'Taffy" DispIeasing to the

When the late Sir Edwin Arnold
went to Japan he met the Countess
Kuroda, who had come lin lovely
Japanese dress to have her portrait
painted" by Walter Savage Landor.
Her eyes were dancing with excite
mont and she had a round spot Of
brilliant rouge on her lower lip. She
was delighted to and that Sir Edwin
Arnold could speak her own language
a little, but did not look at all pleas
ed when he admired her hands-ane
and small as child's. From the Japa-
nese point of view such personal COM
pliments constitute a breach Of eti-
Quette. Every dirty; very dirty" she
said, laughing, as she tucked them
away under her long sleeves. The
phrase is merely one Of polite depre-
cation when anything of the speakers
is admired. Mrs. Hugh Fraser, who
tells the story in her recent book on
Japan, adds: II have heard it applied
to peoples houses, clothes and, think
their dinners; If one has CHANGED to

MINT HAS NO SILVER COIN
May Be Shortage Of Change by Con-
gress' Failure to Act on Bull
lion Provision.

Philadelphia.-A serious shortage
Of silver coins in circulation and a
further reduction Of the working force
at the mint is threatened by the failure
Of congress to make any provision for
the purchase Of silver bullion for coin
age. At present there are only about
4,500 ounces of silver in the vaults of
the mint. The only ray Of hope that the
mine officials could see was that there
was an old law, passed in the early
sos which might possibly be construed
as giving the secretary of the treasury
the power Of purchasing silver in lin
tied amounts. Unless Secretary Shaw
can provide some relief there will be
practically no silver coined until after
the next session of congress.
At present the coiners at the mint
are working full time on nickels and
cents. The adjusters are working on
one-third time. They are divided into
three shifts, each shift working for q
month at time.
No regular amount Of silver has been
coined. An order from the treasury de-
partmenI for 10000 OF the 25O,OOO spe-
cial dollars for the Lewis and Clark ex-
position was received recently, and
the coins, which are made from gold
mined in Oregon, were all finished. The
mint is now making portion Of the
blanks used for nickels and cents, all
OF which were formerly made by out
side contractors. If the experiment
proves that the government can make
the blanks as cheaply as they can be
purchased it is probable that the mint
will in future make all of them.

OBITUARY.

The death of Mrs Agnes Jane Bond
occurred in this city last Thursday,
October 26. 1905, at the home of her
son, Frank Bond, deputy county
treasurer. living at sos south Fourth
street. The cause of her death may
be stated as a complication of dis
eases.
Mrs. Bond was born in Devonshire,
England, on December 18th. 1S47.
The family came to this country in
1894, and settled at Hunter, North
Dakota, where they lived until last
fall, when they came to North Yak
ina to live. She had made her home
in this city for the last year. She
was married to James A. Bond on
October 18th, 1872. The children
are Joseph, Frank, Emma and James.
all of whom are living. The funeral
was held last Sunday afternoon from
the family residence. and the remains
laid to rest in Tahoma cemetery.

LOOKS BAD FOR BUILDING.
Prospects of a Y. NJ. G. A. for This
City Are Not F1attering.

About year ago there was consid-
cradle talk in this city about the
building of Young Mems Christian
Association home. A committee was
appointed by the Commercial club,
and steps were taken looking toward
the ultimate construction of such a
building. The committee succeeded
ininteresting quite number of citi-
zens in the undertaking, and in very
short time $1,000 was raised by pub
lie subscription. The committee ex-
pected visit from the travelling Sec
rotary Of the national Y. M. c. A.,
whose ideas and plans in regard to
the proposition they expected to fol-
low out. 1t has been impossible,
however, for this gentleman to put
in an appearance SO far, and the pres
ent prospects for building look
rather dubious. In fact, the COM
mittee find that 1t will be impossible
to raise by private subscription the
necessary 100000 to carry out the
plans, and they have given up any
hopes they might have had of ever
being able, at least for the present,
to accomplish anything in this d.
rection.
The matter has been laid on the
table.

A SAD GREETING.
Mother Comes from Minnesota to See
Her Son, Whom She Finds Dead.

George Genereau, a young man
who was employed by the Cascade
Lumber Company in this city was
drowned last Friday morning while
spiking logs in the pond. In con-
nection with his death peculiarly
sad coincidence occurred. His moth
err and brother had just arrived from
the east, but had not yet seen the
son and brother. Their grief may be
imagined, when the sad tidings of
his untimely death became known to
them. 1t is understood that he was
engaged to a young lady of this city,
and the wedding had been set for to-
day.
The funeral was held Sunday, and
the remains were buried in Tahoma
cemtery. Mrs. Genereau and her son
have decided to make this city their
home.

GARrHIE AND CONNERs
VIII Wrestle ct the Yakima Theates
Thursday Evening, Nov. 9Th.

w. A. Garthie. the well known
wrestler of Central Washington, who
threw Dick Allen, Yakima's favorite,
and Cleaned" the local sports for q
sum close to 500 last winter, Is to
meet Ed Corners of Bellingham on
November eth, at the Yakima thea
ter.
These two noted wrestlers are ex-
tremely clever in their line, and will
undoubtedly put up one Of the pref
test matches ever witnessed In the
city. Garthie is very popular with
the local sporting fraternity, and
when a wrestler Is imported who can
put his shoulder to the mat three
times out Of Ave, to say the least, he
will have to go some.
Ed Corners Is a we'll known wres-
tier He has thrown some of the
best in the profession, and is looked
upon as a coming champion by many
ardent admirers. On the other hand
Garthie is not to be discounted when
compared to Corners. He is an ath-
lete of good habits, conscientious in
his work, and trains hard for his
bouts. The man who goes against
him has no cinch, and he will GER
tainly realize that he has been up
against champion stock himself.
The match will be pulled OF at the
Yakima theater on November 9Th.
1t Is for a good side bet and the gate
receipts. Garthie is going to make
the effort of his life, and even II he
should be thrown, the match will
be well worth seeing.

Sent to Medical Lake.

Miss Eva Turnbull was on Friday
last adjudged insane, and has been
taken to the Medical Lake asylum for
treatment. The patient was not in
clined to be unruly or dangerous, but
she had a habit of wandering away
from home at night, and would talk
in an incoherent manner. Instead
of growing better, as had been hoped
for, she grew steadily worse, until
the last resort was deemed necessary.
Miss Turnbull is 35 years of age, and
is the daughter of John Turnbull of
the Selah valley.

j. M. Brown, fruit inspector: I
would suggest, as matter of pre-
caution, that before growers plant
their fruit trees, they prepare a So
luton of bluestone and water in
spraying vat, in the proportion of
six pounds of bluestone to fifty gal
Ions of water, and dip the trees all
in it, root upward. There might be
a fungus disease of some description
on the tree that cannot be detected
when the tree is dormant. The cost
of so treating them is very slight,
and one cannot afford to take any
chances, especially when the treat
ment is SO inexpensive.
