GRANTS FRIEND
DIED IN POVERTY
Was Famous Soldier and Ply
SICIan.

LONDON, Aug 21-There died in
poverty, in a dingy fiat in squalid
Kensington Road last week, DR..
Orazio Lugo, once a famous American
citizen who fought with Grant and
Garibaldi. He assisted Lord Kelvin
in his telephone discoveries, superin-
tended the laying of one of the Allan
tic cables, and was at one time close
friend of former Ambassador Joseph
H. Choate, who always kept Lugo's
photograph on his desk at the Embas
sy. He won by inventions several for
tunes, but lost them in commercial
ventures.
Lugo was born in 1929, in Venice.
His mother, the Countess Royigo, was
cousin of Cavour, the great states
man. A graduate of Padua, he achiev
ed an honorary degree in America by
his work on the optical nerve. He
served when only 10 in the first great
battle of 80 at Santa Lucia. His
three brothers were killed at Megeng
ia and he himself was dangerously
wounded at Solferino.
He went to America after the con-
| fscation of his estates in Italy, with
letter to Mr.. Yznaga, grandfather of
Consuelo Vandebilt the Duchess of
| Marlborough. Subsequently he saved
| Yznaga's life in squall on Lake
| George. For time Lugo was profess
sor of chemistry in New York Univer-
sity. He agitated for the right of
woman to become medical students,
| Among his friends was Samuel Bar,
| low, Charles A. Dana, William Gull
len Bryant and Thomas F. Bayard.
| He called once at a hotel where
| General Grant was staying, and sent
! in his card. Many politicians were
waiting in the lobby. The general
came out and taking Lugo by the arm
led him within.
Gentlemen" said Grant to those
in waiting here is a man who
could anyways get anything from me
he wished, but who never asked me
for anything" This was the keynote
of Lugo's character. He was per-
sonally unselfish and quixotically dis
terested. Hence he died poor.

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-

critical period, that determines its
duration. seems to be between 90

GOOD OREGON BUILDING.
State win Erect $4,000 Structure for
Alaskan Exposition.

1t has practically been settled that
Oregon will be represented at the
Alaska ka-Youkon-Pacific Y exposition, at
Seattle, in 1909. by $4,000 building,
says a Salem correspondent. 1t Is
hoped that more money can be Sc,
cured from the state legislature for
both purposes, but that sum is avail
able.
At the meeting of the Oregon state
commission, held at Salem, yesterday,
Architect David c. Lewis, of Port
land, was awarded the contract for
the construction of the state building
at the exposition. 1t was also decid-
ed that headquarters for the COM
mission, where frequent meetings
may be held, will be established in
Portland within the next two weeks.
Efforts will be made to have the
various counties add individual or
special and class exhibits to the col
lective display made by the state so
that oregon may have the honor OF
outdoing the record made by WASH
ington at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition.

DEFUNCT BANK
WILL PAY HALF
FIFTY CENTS ON THE
DOLLAR THE LIMIT
Report of Receiver Devlin Shows That
Unless Reorganization Is Effected,
Depositors VIII Receive But SO
Per Cent OF Their Funds-Keen
Disappointment In Store for Hun
drclls

What will be keen disappoint-
ment to the hundreds Of depositors
of the defunct Oregon Trust and
Savings bank of Portland is the an
nouncement by Receiver Devlin that
but so cents on the dollar will prob
ably be paid on deposits. The Ore
gon Daily Journal says:
Fifty cents on the dollar is all that
depositors in the defunct Oregon
Trust & Savings bank can hope to
receive unless a reorganization is
effected.
Earlier and more sanguine esti-
mates have been abandoned us the
investigation of the banks affairs
has proceeded and as fresh evidences
Of its gross mismanagement have
come to light.
While Receiver Devlin still refuses
to express any opinionn on the sub
ject, 1t is declared in the most positive
terms by those who have carefully
examined the assets that depositors
can not expect to the receivership tu
yield them more than one-half the
face of their claims.
Many ugly rumors are afloat con.
cerning w. Cooper Morris, the cash.
Ter of the bank. and 1t is freely as.
serted that he was personally inter.
ested in many of the loans which he
made. He is in Medford today, hav.
ing gone there, it is said, for the pur.
pose of promoting the reorganization
OF the bank. In his absence IL ha,
been impossible to secure from hin
either confirmation or denial of tn,
stories current on the street.
There is no doubt, however, tina
he was chiefly II not solely responsi
BILE for the loans to the Golden Eagl

bank used the funds of its depositors

First Step Toward Manufacture of
Fletcher Invention.

The first step toward the manufac-

washer in this city, was taken today
when w. D. Fletcher sent an order
to a firm in Connecticut for $4,000 of
the small steel knives which will be
used in the manufacture of the wash
ers.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Fletcher
to begin the manufacture of the arti-
cles in this city on a small scale, as
soon as the knives are received.
As the demand for the washers in
creases, the factory will be gradually
enlarged until finally a big estab-
lishment will be located here.
Mr.. Fletcher and his son. r. w.
Fletcher, inventors of the washer, are
confident of the ultimate success of
the invention and have received flat
tering offers for their patents.
