An unuaIlant Aotor.

A well known American actor, who
Is old enough not to consider himself
a matinee idol by any means, was
somewhat surprised and pleased in a
St Louis hotel a short time ago when
q pretty girl stopped him in the cor
ridor and presented him with a rose,
without saying a word. He was more
surprised and less pleased to receive
a note the following day reminding
him of the incident and asking him to
send the giver Of the flower two seats
at the theater In which he was playing
''as a memento of the occasion"
"My dear young lady" the actor re-
piled, waxing sarcastic as he realized
what. had been the object of the at
.ention he had been paid, 81 would be
glad to send you the seats you ask for,
but, on consultation with the manager
Of the theater, have been informed
that the seats are all fastened down
and that he is opposed to having them
sent away as souvenirs in any event,
so that you will have to be contented
with an autograph for souvenir of
your benevolence Of yesterday In
stead."-Harper's Weekly.

Moths and Butterflies.

Some moths look very much like but
terflles, but there are two ways in
which you can always tell the one
from the other. Each has little slen-
der feelers growing from the head,
but the butterHy's feelers, or antennae.
as they are called, have knobs on the
ends. The antennae Of the moth some
times have tiny feathers on them and
sometimes little spires, but thy are
never knobbed. Then. too, in alight-
Ing the butterfly always holds her
wings erect, while the moths droop
or are nearly fat.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands Of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements o~fsociety,
more numerous. The first effect Of the
praiseworthy effort to keep up with all
these things is commonly seen in a
weakened II debilitated condition of
b system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition Of both
body and brain, and in extreme cases
in complete prostration. It is
clearly seen that what Is needed is what
will sustain the system, give vigor and
tone is the nerves, and keep the diges-
tive and assimilative functions healthy
and active. From personal knowledge,
we can recommend Hoods S~arsaparilla
for this purpose. Tt acts on all the Wit
al organs, builds up the whole system,
and it fits men and women for these
high-pressure days.

RiVGS- Burden WeddinQ.

New York, April 1.-THE chantry OF
Grace Church was the scene today OF
one OF the largest and most fashionable
weddings of the season. The contract
ing parties were Miss Natica Rives,
daughter of Mrs. George Lockhart
Rives, and William Proudft Burden,
son of the late James A. Burden of
New York and Troy. Both families
are Of the highest social prominence
and exclusive society turned out in
force for the wedding. There was no
attempt at elaborate display, however,
owing to the fact that the Burden fam
lily is in mourning. The Rey. DR.. Will
liam Reed Huntington, rector of Grace
Church, performed the ceremony and
Bishop Potter pronounced the benedlc-
ton. Afterwards there was a break
fast and reception at the home Of the
brides parents.
The bride, who is one of the hand
soonest young women in society, was
never formally introduced, but has
always been a ~favCrite here and at
Newport. She is the only child of
Oliver 81. p. Belmont and his first wife,
who was a Miss Whiting, and has beer
for a number of years Mrs. George L.
Rives. Mr.. Burden is a grandson OF
the late Henry Burden, the inventor
and ironmaster, who was born in Scot
land, and who became the head of one
of the largest rolling mills and iron and
steel establishments in this country.

Letter to r. J. HaGe,
Goldsboro, n. G.

Dear sir:-People ask how many
square feet a gallon will cover De-
ponds on condition of building.
There is a great deal of lying on
this point. The stock claim of ly-
ing paints is 800 square feet, two
coats. It's a lie, as a rule.
Devoe overs 800 to 500, our
agents think. We think 800 too low
and 500 too high; though doubtless,
they both occur.
How much the other paints cover
is equally doubtful; we guess 100 to
400
The truth is found in another COM
parison. Devoe is all paint, true
paint, strong paint, and full measure;
the others in general are, at the best,
diluted, a%dulterated and short-measu-
re. They cover according to body and
measure. You can't paint with clay
lime chalk sand barytes water or
air-no body in them. Go by Devoe.
Yours truly,

GOLDSBORO PARK DAY.
1t is Now Observed Annually The
First Week in May Instead OF
November Let Us All
Celebrate.

The annual Park Day celebration
in the Fall as heretofore. For many
reasons this change of date has been
deemed advisable, and it is hoped that
the success of this years celebration
will prove the change justifiable.
The plans for the day include a
parade of military and fire companies
and decorted private vehicles, a speech
at the Park, the naming of the tree, etc.
In order that the day may be a suc-
cess-mayb be a day OF civic pride and
rejoicing-it is necessary that we have
the cooperation of all our business
enterprises in the establishment of q
half holiday.
Let us trust that all will thus CO.
operate.
The new feature of this years pro-
gram is the decoration of private
vehicles. During the first week of May
there will be an abundance OF lowers,
and the effect of these in adjoining our
buggies and surries will mean a trans
formation of homely black turn-outs
into beautiful floral bowers. Can we
not approach in this something of the
effect of the California flower festival?
Ii each one will work with a will to
make his or her carriage most beauti-
full, there is no telling how lovely the
effect of the whole may be produced.
In this, as in the establishment of half
holiday, we need enthusiastic co-opera-
ton.
Let us make this Park Day a. grand

Though the marriage is one Of millions

For two hours before the ceremony
crowds began to gather in front Of the

If Pendleon will in some way Sc
cure the removal of the Pacific
Coast elevator which now stands op-
posite the o. R. & N. passenger de-
pot, there is a possibility that a new
depot will be erected here by the
company.
This is not official, but it is sug-
gested by officials of the company
that this elevator building is an un-
desirable object in the o. R. & N.
yards and that as long as 1t is In Do
sition there the company will not be
willing to make extensive improve
ments.
The elevator is not now used as
an elevator, but is used solely as a
stable and it is believed that If prop
er showing were made to the ele-
Vator company that the building
would be removed to some more ap-
propriate place.
When the elevator was erected
there many years ago it seemed to be
the only logical place for it and it has
served a good purpose for the city
OF Pendleton, the elevator company
and the railroad, but as the city has
grown up and the elevator is In dis
use, 1t is not an attractive nor useful
object and would greatly detract
from the appearance of a new depot
In that vicinity.
The company sorely needs more
trackage room in this city and II In
probable that If a decisive movement
We're made by the city to secure the
removal Of the elevator that the
company would also remove the
stockyards and thus clean out all the
undesirable features which are now
In the heart Of the city.
Pendleton has grown on all sides
and has inclosed with a solid resi-
dence section the entire yard district
of the city, while this district was
"out in the country" so to speak.
when first laid out and the tracks
built.
The elevator company holds lease
on the ground on which the elevator
stands and 1t will be necessary for
the city to secure the consent of the
elevator people to remove the build
ing and release the ground volun-
tarily.
The kerr-Gifford warehouse which
was removed to Barnhart last sum-
mer had outgrown its usefulness in
the city and that company consented
to its removal to a place where it
could be used and it is believed that
the Pacific coast elevator can be re-
moved if the citizens take the mat
ter up with the company.
An effort will be made in this di-
rection as it is believed that this
building standing as it does in the
heart of the yards and being unused
Is serious obstacle in the way of a
new depot.

EVERY EFFORT
TO FIND BODY
EDWARD DAVIS BELIEVED
BY HIS FAMILY TO BE DEAD
His Father Adheres to the Opinion
That He Was Drowned While At
tempting to Gross Meacham Creek
During the Recent Flood-Fifteen
Men Fully Equipped Have Gone on
n Search for the Body.

C. a. Davis, father of Edward Da-
Wis, the young man who is supposed
to have been drowned in Meacham
creek, has arrived from Wallula and
is now directing the search for the
body of his son.
Last evening and this morning two
searching parties consisting of a to-
tai of is men left this city for Mea-
cham creek, where they will make
every effort to find the body.
Dynamite, tools, cables and all
necessary apparatus for searching
in the driftwood and along the banks
Of the stream were taken out and an
organized search in charge of DR..
S. ]. LAWS of Portland, brother of
the missing boy, will be made. DR..
Davis has arrived from Portland and
is now in charge of the party on
Meacham creek.
Mrs. Mary f. Chapple of Inde-
nendence, cousin of Edward Da-
Wis, has arrived in the city and will
assist In every way possible in the
search.
DiNis, ialiitI VI lIlt
nate boy, is Of the opinion that the
boy became entangled in wire,
while swimming Meacham creek,
which was swollen at the time and
drowned. He feels tina this is the
only way in which the accident could
have occurred, as the boy was an ex-
cellent horseman and unless he had
been dragged from his saddle ami
NAL he would have reached the bank
with the animal.
Tracks showing that horse had
entered and merged from Meacham
creek have been found near where
Edward Davis would have crossed
in his trip from the Brown ranch to
Thorn Hollow. and Mr.. Davis is sure
that this is clew to the fatal acci-
dent which has befallen his son. A
harbed wire. swinging under the wa
ter was found at that point, and It
is his firm opinion that the boy in
to cross was dragged from
the pony by this concealed wire and
was swept away, or perhaps held in
the water by the wire until drowned.
