Mr.. Eugene Palmer Of Albany,
Oregon, was in Our city on Tuesday
last circulating petitions for a ref
erendum vote on that gigantic graft
of $I25,oo a year for all time to
the University at Eugene. The
people of st. Johns were glad to
see the gentleman. Petitions for
signature are now in the hands Of
Mayor Couch, Councilman King,
Messrs. Kirk, Goodale and several
others whose names we did not
learn. That St. Johns will do her
whole duty in this matter goes
without saying. Let every man
who does not believe in educating
rich men S sons at the public ex-
pense, while the average man can
scarcely rake and scrape enough
together to give his children a COM
mon education. call ON either of the
above named gentlemen, and put
his John Hancock on the petition,
thereby teaching our educational
pap suckers that they can no longer
combine to rob the people for their
benefit.

In the best orchestra seats will provoke

three rows of the orchestra are sold

pally because they do not wear hats
and do not therefore obstruct the view

curtain goes up the stranger Chances

during entr'actea they come down and
promenade with the others and visit

very fact of being present at an i'm
portant opening is enough to give
certain social precedence, even though
they sat on the rafters or chung to the.

Another feature which attracts the
American is that during the entr actes
the men who do not join the prom

those on the first floor.
1t is not considered rude to level
glasses at any one, whether within a
few feet or up in the balcony, but it is
rather considered a compliment to the
