The Mystery of Death.

Oh. death. how bitter is the thought of thee. How speedy thy approach! How stealthy thy steps! How uncer- tain thy hour. How universal thy sway. The powerful cannot escape thee: the wise know not how to avoid theo: the strong have no strength to oppose thee: the rich cannot brihc thee with their treasure. Thou art a hammer that always strikes. sword that is never dull, net into which all fall, prison into which all must on ter, a sea on which all must venture, a penalty which all must suffer, trib- ute which all must pay.

DONE BY TRYING.

Nobody can tell what he can

FAIRBANKS DAY.

There was plenty OF pleasure and in
terest agog hereabout yesterday anent
the coming of vice-President Fairbanks
O! the United States, together with
the presence OF the cruiser Charleston,
her officers and men, the homing OF the
troops from the forts and the influx
of people from the outlying districts.
Astoria was in holiday attire, and as
the several big affairs became conspie-
uous, there was splendid, good natured
crowd TO pay each and all the comph-
ment OF its undivided attention, and as
none OF the events OF the day conhicted
as to time, there was no lack of enthus-
iasm and triendliness in the reception
granted to each as it bore to the front.
OF course, the Vice President was the
central figure Of the day, and he was
made to realize the real Importance at
taching to his visit, not only as promi-
nent and forceful citizen OF the land,
but as one of its chief dignitaries. There
was absolutely no hitch in the program
OF the day as far as his movements
were concerned, and he urbanely and
happily fitted into the occasion at every
moment OF his stay. The public and
private receptions accorded him were
carried out gith gusto and goodwill
typical OF the City-by-the-Sea and he
goes eastward this morning with the
conviction that we were glad to see him
and proved it.
He made pleasant impression every
where and current comment was most
kindly in every respect, save that OF
political sort, OF which there was COM
paratively none. The idea of his visit
seemed to be along lines OF personal in
interest and friendliness, and bore no
significance, save such as he, himself,
touched upon in his talks to the people
in the afternoon here, and at Seaside in
the evening What may develop from
it in a political way, is matter of
future interest. He was met and enter
tanned, with all the eclat due his exalt-
ed office and due also to a gentleman of
his standing, and nothing more was
claimed for it. 1t is a popular hope
that he returns East with as pleasant
an impression of Astoria as he has left
with the people here.

sense that we are deliberately "fghting'
the metropolis, we deny it, in toto.
Like Portland we have program of
our own and before we attain to it we
must cross the lines of communal en-.

the river, and for the time being we
shall seemingly be arrayed against
her, but as a matter os fact we are
striving for that which shall make Port
