AN EVERLASTING SUCCESS.
KILLED BY TRAIN.
John Detka, of st. Paul, Mimi. Met
Death Under Car Wheels Last
Night.

A young man, who gave his name
as John Detka. of South ST. Paul,
Minnesota, met a tragic death last
night by falling off the overland
train in the Salem yards, and being
mangled beneath the wheels. He was
taken to the Salem hospital, but died
in few minutes after reaching
there.
He was stealing a ride on the
steps of Pullman, and fell off be-
tween Court and State streets, as
the train was approaching the Salem
station. A man. who says his name
is George West. was accompanying
him. and was on the steps of the
next sleeper. He was kept in the GUS
tody of Sheriff Culver last night, for
his possible use as a witness. He
says he never met Detka until they
met last evening at Oregon City. and
really knows nothing of the dead
mans history. He gave his name as
stated, and last night on the way to
the hospital told the same thing to-
Sheriff Culver.
The man on the way to the hospi-
tai said something indistinctly that
his partner interpreted to mean that
the colored porter on the Pullman
had kicked him off the train, but he
was not sure of 1t. The sheriff did
not so understand 1t. West says that
when the depot was reached the por-
ter came and told him that his part
ner had fallen from the train. West
did not see him fall.
Detka's skull was fractured and
his right arm badly mangled.

his person, presumably written by a
sister. and the scapular mentioned |
in the letter was also on his person.
The fragment of the letter was as

THE MAID AND THE MUMMY.
Musical Comedy at Grand Opera
House Was Good BurlesQue.

! Those who attended the produc-
tion of the Maid and the Mummy
at the opera house last night be-
lieving they would hear a musical
comedy like Carries "The Tender
foot or "The Burgomaster" may
have been somewhat disappointed
The Maid and the Mummy" was
only burlesque, but 1t was good bur-
lesque. The libretto, if it may be
termed such, was clean, wholesome,
witty and refreshing; the costumes
were neat, new, tasty, pretty and ar
tistic; the twenty girls in the chorus
were young, rather pretty and light
of heels; the young women who had
talking and singing parts were tall
ented, and the comedians were fully
up the standard.
The mummy was never absent.
That important role was filled by
Fred Warren. and so tightly did the
whole ensemble stick to Warren that
the performance may be termed a
one-man show.
Mr.. Warren is exceedingly clever,
and kept his audience in a roar of
laughter. The maid was not in
the limelight to the same degree the
mummy" was.
On the whole. the musical num-
bers were good, ooh. Gee: Its Great
to Be Crazy" I'm so Dizzy and
others made big hits with the Salem
audience.
The house was well filed.

Secret Of England's Picturrsqucncs>.

Mr.. Howells, writing in Harper's
Magazine about An English Country
Town and Country House," has this
to say of the English custom of inner
itance by the eldest son:
1T seems strange to us New World
linSs, after all the affirmation of his
tory and fiction, to find certain facts
in feudaliSm (mostly the kindlier
facts), forming part of the status in
England as they form no part of it
with us. 1t was only upon reflection
that ! perceived how feudal this great
house was in its relation to the lesser
homes about it through many tacit
ties OF responsibility and allegiance.
From eldest son to eldest son it had
been in the family always, but it had
descended with obligations which no
eldest son could safely deny any more
than he could refuse the privileges it
conferred. AS we drove along between
the meadows where the light was fail
ing and the lambs plaintively called
through the cleaning, we said how de-
lightful it all had been. how perfectly.
how satisfyingly English. We tried
again to realize the sentiment which,
as we'll as the law, keeps such places
and renders it part OF the family faith
and honor that the ancestral house
should always be the home of it's head.
think we failed because we conceived
OF the fact too effectively, and mag
ined conscious a thing that tradition
has made part of the English nature,
so that the younger brother acquiesces
as snbjectively in the elder brothers
primacy as the elder brother himself.

in their order one class Welded to
another without grudging and without
Srasping, and that this which fills
England with picturesqueness and dra-
ma, was the secret OF England In

GOOD. NOT PALACE. HOTELS.
Are First and Greatest Want Of Tour.
ISIS in This Conntrv.

If the see America first boomers,
in convention assembled, would do
some practical work in the way OF
encouraging hotels Of reasonable price
and comfortable management in this
country they would confer a boon
upon long suffering people, says the
Denver Post. In England, France,
Germany and Switzerland the travel
ers can always find, in second and
third class hotels, in small inns and
taverns. comfort. consideration and
personal service such as are to be
obtained nowhere on this side of the
Atlantic and often at a small price.
Shall | not take mine ease in mine
inn?' could never have been written
in the United States. In the great
hotels. it is true, there are "all modern
conveniences," baths. electric lights.
steam heat and table upon which
all the things that can be printed up-
on long menu are daily assembled.

comes to mind when one is seated at
one of these overcrowded tables. But
this relates only to the high priced
places. And here in America one can
go TO no other. for our cheap hotels
are simply impossible.
Why can we not have the delightful.
small homelike inns Of England here
IN this land OF English speech and ira
ditions?
A place where the traveller is act
ually met at the door by a kindly
landlady. who shows the rooms anX-

comfortable with all her good, shrewd,
motherly heart. A little supper, serv-
ed in your own coy parlor by blaz-
ing fire. Your shoes and outer gar
ments taken away, carefully brushed
and brought back without noise or
hustle. Your bed carefully spread
with sweet-smelling linen, aired and
your sleeping room made ready for
you with all the daintiness of home.
Perfect protection you receive, too,
from noise and the curious stares of
strangers. All this you can get from
one end of England to the other, in
hundreds of inns in city and country,
Travelling becomes a pleasure when
there is such entertainment to be had
without too much damage to ones

In Switzerland, for years the play
ground of Europe, the art of caring
for travellers has become fine art,

can be entertained in comfort at the
smaller and cheaper places and never
see the bird bath" dishes which greet
the American in his own country,
wherever he may roam, unless he
keeps strictly to the great hotels and
restaurants in the cities.
We need special wave in the sea
of reform we are now slushing around
in-reform in our methods, manners
and customs of hotel keeping. Let the
seeing America first" enthusiasts la
Dor with the hotel people. and, above
all, let them encourage few really
humane men and women to set up
small inns and old-time taverns in
this western country That will keep
American travellers in their own coun-
try more effectively than any other
measure that could be inaugurated.

PRICE OF GALILEO'S FINGER
Relic Of Famous Astronomer to Be
Bought by Italian Government.

What is the finger of dead scien-
fist worth? This question has been
stirring all Florence, the thumb and
index finger of the right hand of Cali
leo having recently been offered for
sale in that city by an old woman,
Laura Joni. Being in straitened cir
cumstances, she tried to obtain the
highest offers for her strange property
The government, getting wind of
the affair, caused an investigation to
be made, and ascertained that these
relics OF the great astronomer were
genuine, having been cut off in 1877 by
fanatical adnlirer, Marquis Copponi,
when the body was reinterred in the
splendid mausoleum in the Santa
Croce church. Thereupon the govern
ment decided to acquire them and to
replace them in the mausoleum.
The only question still to be dis
cussed is the matter Of price. Upon
this point experts will undoubtedly be
called in. But one person, we are
sure, would not be welcome-the
American tourist, who, as reported
recently in the Atlantic monthly, re-
marked on being told of Galileo's
tomb in the Santa Croe: "Galileo?
Oh, yes; Calico? Why, of course!

hear of them together: now who was

Is it possible that the people of Vlr-

whose Scotch Irish blood is their chief
glory, would SO far depart from all
teaching, all experience, and all prac-
tice, as to adopt so dangerous an ex-
