Deck Hands Struck.

Last night the steamer Spencer,
says the Chronicle, failed to arrive at
her dock and inquiry developed the
fact that she had had trouble with
her deck hands, who walked ashore
when the boat reached Portland
Thursday night. The general com
plant appeared to be that the hours
of work we're entirely too long. 1t
was also declared by the men who
we're on the Spencer that they object
ed to the task of discharging the
grain she carried unless they we're
paid at the same rate as was received
by members Of the LongshOPemen g
union. Another crew was quickly &c.
cured for the Spencer, but she was
held to undergo her annual inspeo-
tion. During all this time there we're
many passengers on the boat, waiting
patiently for her to get ready to sail
for The Dalles. Had it been known
that the inspection would have delay
ed her so long, it is probable that
other means would have been secured
for sending the passengers up the riv-
er

synagogue ON May %, ITS. by Rabbi
Haydn Isaac Carregal. This was de-
livered in Spanish and was translated
into English. Carregal was a most in

president Of Yale college. The first
Jewish club in America was formed in
1851 at Newport. with a membership
limited to nine persons. Just before
the outbreak Of the. Revolutionary war
the Jewish population Of Newport must
have numbered nearly 1000 souls. The
war dispersed the commun nifty, and it
never regained its Importance. The
Jews, for the most part, espoused the
colonial cause and lost the greater part
Of their property when the town was

|pN Encishman told me a little while ago that he intended to
set up a power station on the Thames, bring down coal by
barges and sell electric power to London. I said to him:
! - "How foolish! Why not run a copper wire between Lon
don and the coal mines and develop your power WHERE
THE COAL IS? If you build that power station it will be obsolete
inside of fifteen years."
We must eliminate the railroad altogether from this problem.
What's the Use Of it, WE DON'T WANT THE COAL ANY
HOW. 1t does us no good to look at it. What we want is the re-
sulant, the utmost energy that can be produced. And there is no
sense in carrying around millions Of tons of raw material like coal
when we can get its product delivered to us by wire.
Everything points to the fact that in the near future electricity
will be produced for general consumption in great power houses AT
THE MOUTHS OF THE COAL. PITS. That is the logical and
common sense outcome of present events.
The present method Of doing things is merely a matter Of habit.
It's simply wonderful to observe how habit controls maj and how it
sometimes delays great reformations even in practical affairs. This
system Of carrying coal from the mines for the purpose of producing
electricity somewhere else is habit. Habit is the greatest foe to prog.
rss and invention.
The great majority Of men arc controlled BY habit. They have
only way. But there are SOME OF US who have a little Of the
spirit Of evolution, and we bother and trouble the others by not letting
them alone.
Now the truth is that it will cost a third less to transport electrical
power by wire than to carry it in the form Of coal in railroad cars.
Assume the price Of coal to be 81 at the mouth of the mine, and as
sumo the freight to be $1.90.
Now W e al turn that coal into electricity at the mine and convey
it by wire at less than half the cost of the freightage of coal.
So in years to come the great electric power plants will be set up in
the coal fields. Electric power will largely do away with steam power.
Electric light will become CHEAPER than gasight.
believe firmly that all great trunk railroad lines will go to cleo,
tricity inside of fifteen years. I don't mean simply passenger traffic,
but heavy freight traffic also.

The Jew as an American Citizen

By FRANK w. HIGGINS. Governor OF New York
UR Jewish fellow citizens have Il right to boast that under the
protecting shield Of equal rights they have taken no steps
backward in the long and weary years that have rolled BY
since they first obtained from the Dutch West India COM
pany "permission to sail and to trade in New Netherlands and to live
and remain there"
1t is not to be wondered at that the Jews, with their marvellous
history Of intellectual achievement, WITH THEIR NATURAL.
MORAL STRENGTH, with their phianthropic and charitable in-
pulses, have hourished and waxed great in those 2o years of abundant
opportunity.
In these days of greed and the lust of gain, when man too often
struggles to heap up riches with little heed to the restraints Of moral
or civil law, when success seems to justify the means, when respect for
the rights of others and regard for the feelings of others give place
to a sordid selfshness, we must not forget that a nation can be great
and noble ONLY AS IT'S PEOPLE ARE \ GREAT AND
NOBLE PEOPLE and that the character of a nation is determined
by the characters Of those it honors.
The jew has cheertully accepted the moral obligation imposed on
all who seek the benefit of American citizenship.
NOT ONLY IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES, BUT ALSO IN MILITARY
AND CIVIL LIFE, IN SCIENCE, ART, LITERATURE AND TIE LEARN.
60 PROFESSIONS, He HAS SERVED HIS ADOPTED COUNTRY WITH
FIDELITY AND ZEAL.

NOVEL SHOWER PARTY.
Elegant Pre.NsptiaI Party Held Last Week at
the Mcknight Home.

The Mcknight home on Fifth street
was the scene of merry gathering last
Thursday evening when Miss Mabel
Mcknight entertained about forty
guests in honor of her friend, Miss Vera
ALERT, the occasion being shower for
the bride-elect. The floral decorations,
superintended by Mrs. W. B. Dickson,
were exceedingly pretty and effective,
the color schemes being green and
white for the dining room and pink and
white for the parlor. The flowers used
IN the decorations were sweet peas,
clover and daisies, with virginia creeper.
The chandelier of electric lights over
the dining table was enclosed in a
beautiful white bell, from which hung
broad white ribbons, having a wonder
fully effective appearance when the
lights we're turned on. AS souvenir of
the occasion each guest was presented
with bouquet of sweet peas, served to
them by the bride elect A novel way
of presenting the shower gifts was found
by serving them in the form of two
huge pies, each gift having card at,
tached containing parody from the
familiar nursery rhyme of, "The -Four
and Twenty Blackbirds Baked in Pie :
The evening passed rapidly and pleas
antly with music and games. Part OF
the time being spent by each of the
guests writing letter to the bride elect
which were to be read by the latter after
having started on her wedding trip
Miss Leonore ALERT presided over the
punch bowl, which it may be stated was
we'll patronized by all present, the non
alcoholic punch forming a great attrac
ton. Dainty refreshments were served
before the guests separated.
