Frank Cushman, the progressive
comedian, and his comedy company in
the bright and jolly musical novelty
entitled 1.-THE Air Ship" will be the
Offering at the Grand Opera House to-
night. 1t is said to be hilariously
funny from start to finish, with ricn
vein Of comedy running through the
graphs, ludicrous situations, brilliant
wit and humor, excellent singing
and novel specialties. The College
Girls chorus, comprised of twenty
handsome young ladies, appropriately
dressed in rich costumes, should prove
quite an attraction.

All three were smoking; all three
were sitting in what they called
"Dago IS" shine chair, getting
"shine." After the shine, all three
went to barber shop for "shave."
Here were three wastings Of cash by
these $S-a-week boys.
First, they need not smoke; or need
not until they can afford 1t. Next, they
should shave themselves and shine
their own shoes. Done, as it doubtless
is, twice a week, it costs them so cents
a week; this is $40 year, and is equal
to the interest on $500 year at per
cent.
l don't speak for undue saving;
rather bespeak liberal spending if one
can afford it, but an $S-a-weeh boy has
no judgment when he throws away
$500-for this is what he does when
he wastes the interest on that much
capital.
The saving system, until you can
afford to spend, would put many a
young feller" beyond the caprices of
fate.

An Undutiful Wife.

A mos interesting and amusing
case of wifely insubordination is re.
ported from Washington. 1t appears
that the navy department is following
the example of some of the other de.
partments, of the government, and
putting ban upon marriage, il having
recently issued an order that wives
of officers shall not accompany theis
husbands when these are on official
business. OF course, this virtually
breaks up the domestic life of such
officers as spend the most of their time
as they should, in attending to
their duty. Protests have been many,
but one woman has obstinately refused
TO obey both her husband and the
government, as appears from this let
ter received by the department from
Commodore Fyffc, then in command of
the Asiatic squadron.
"Sr: 1t becomes my painful duty
to report that my wife Eliza Fyffe,
has, in disobeyance TO my orders and
in the face of the regulations of the
navy department, taken up her resi-
dence at this station and persistently
refuses to leave"
Probably Mrs. Fyffe thinks she is
obeying the higher law when she re.
bells against this edict and she might
rightly claim that having married
when no such regulation was in force,
the government had no right to put IA
new disability on her married life, ex
post facto We hope Mrs. Fyffe will
win the day.-Woman' s Tribune.

thing reached such proportions that
it come finally that fraud order has
been issued by the postoffice depart
ment against the promoters of the
"Vineless Potato Company" 1t is
stated that the inspectors who had
this matten under investigation were
influenced in securing the fraud order
from an opinion from the agricultural
department az Washington to the eff
feet that the vineless potato is a fake
pure and simple. 1t is said to have
been stated by authorities in the ag.
ricultu-al department that it is no Sc.
cret that small potatoes can be grown
vinela.s in the dark on white bleached
shoots Of sprouting seed potatoes, but
it was pointed out that the crop would
always be less than the amount
planted"
A promoter named w. d. Darst is
said to have been the main factor in
organizing the Vineless Potato Com.
pany, and the concern is said TO have
Advertised: "Vineless potatoes can be
grown in bins above the ground in 60
days at cost not to exceed cents
per bushel." 1t appears that the main
idea connected with the vineless po.
tato deal was TO sell a combination of
sawdust and "potatine at $3.50
bottle, and since the mails were being
used to get growers to send orders for
the materials for growing the vine
less potato the government decided
fraud order would be the best thing
to stop the fake.

"orcester.-There has been very
neaVy rains throughout the district

mas been very beneficial to the nlan-
'atiohs, but some of the nights have
oeen very cold. In many places the

or blight is still very serious and

The Yakima Republic, July 10.
Notwithstanding the stories that
have been circulated about the bie
crop of hops in America and Eurone
and the low prices that will prevail
this fall the buyers are Offering an
advance of " cents per pound on
contracts over what was paid two
weeks ago.
Contracts have been made freely
this spring at 10 cents per pound.
During the last few days there has
been a stiffening in prices and liz
cents is now being offered. Some of
the growers have even refused this
offer.
The indications are that Yakima
will produce as many if not more
hops than she did last year. The
vines are showing up in good shape
and the hot weather has killed the
vermin. The predictions are that
Oregon will produce a crop equal to
that of last year and that the west
side will show up this season with
about as many as last year. Califor-
MIA will probably produce a crop
in excess of last year, ac-
cording to all reports.

THE "BOOTLEGGING" EVIL.

In the liquor business the bootleg
ger fills identically the same position
TO the legitimate trade that Mrs. Ma
tion fills in the cause of temperance.
He Is an outlaw, because he not only
has no regard for the law, but studies
up all kinds of ways to break it.
The bootlegger is pretty tough
proposition in any community and
gives the entire liquor business a bad
name; but he is in the height of his
glory in the Indian reservations,
where the government has very strict
laws against the sale of liquor. He
could make a much better living at
some other line of business in nearly
every instance. 1t is the fact that he
is breaking a law, getting ahead of the
government, that appeals to him.
The officers at Muskogee recently
discovered a new method of snug
Cling the liquor into the Indian coun-
try. A teamster working on the rail-
road grade near that point devised
the plan. He had two very large horse
collars made, and they were water
tight. He would make regular trips
to Texas, and every time he returned
the laborers in camp would get
drunk. After watching him for a
long time the officers discovered that
he would take several extra horse
collars with him and bring them
back full of whiskey. Each collar
would hold about two gallOits OF

A RELIGION OF DEEDS.

Much has been said against the
Christian Scientists. Their creed has
been flayed by the orthodox churches
from one end of the world to the
other
But the Christian Scientists, as
viewed from the Pendleton standpoint,
are practical, sensible, God-fearing
folk. Their church door is never
locked against the world. Their faith
is founded upon investigation and
their religion is one of deeds.
Do you know that the thing which
turns hordes of people away from
Christianity is the frowining doors of
churches locked against the needy and
hungry soul of the outcast and
stranger for six days in the week?
Every city has its warm, open, well
come saloon-a very dispenser of hos
pitality to the stranger and prof
iNiSu iSS'hlS ploSS ". tlle HOIHtle''s
and the transient
But for six days in the week Gods
house is locked and barred, no glow
ing fire tempts the stranger, no read.
ing room invites the weary to rest, no
welcome word from the closed doors
brings a thrill of the human kinship
into the bosom of the wanderer.
The Christian Scientists are chang
ing this condition in their humble
way. Their doors are never closed
They maintain reading rooms, invite
an investigation of their tenets and
make the stranger welcome at all
times.
Without criticism of other churches
it certainly seems that this is prac-
teal basis for religion. If religion
means anything it means something
every day in the week. The world
has too much Sunday religion. Too
much formal charity, too much per-
functory hospitality.
What is needed is more open doors,
more inviting retreats TO offset the
open deadfalls maintained by tie vi
cious and immoral.
The vicious elements in society are
well organized and maintain attrac-
tions to draw men away from decen-
cy. For this very reason should not
the moral organizations maintain an
equal number of inviting places in
which to offer men decent environ>
ments? Over half of the transient
men in any community would take
advantage of a moral place of rest
and recreation rather than the other
kind.
