THE WEST POINT RIOT.
II Happened During the cadssship 81
jefferson Davis.

Closely connected with Benny Ha-
vens' was the great cadet riot of Christ
mas. 1896, in the middle OF Jefferson
Davis third year. Before Christmas 1t
was rumored through the barracks
that Davis and other southern and
southwestern cadets were going to ex-
plain to the other members of the
corps the mysteries of eggnog. Cadets
Davis, Tilghman and Temple were to
get the necessaries from Benny's, but
it seems that something prevented. and
others had to get the materials. The
authorities were suspicious and or
dered the inspectors to stay up all
night to keep order. This angered the
cadets. and the preparations for the
eggnog went on. In the dark OF the
morning of Dec. Is the invitations
| were sent out Robert E. Lee and Jo-
seph E. Johnston declined. ]. B. Ma
| gruder. Drayton. c. ]. Wright and 9TH
ers accepted. Davis was extending the
invitations when he heard a rumor that
Captain Hitchcock was abroad He
! ran back TO No. 5 north barracks,
where the refreshments were collected,
| called out, Put away that grog. boys;
old Hitch is coming" and looked up to
find that Hitchcock was already In the
| room. Davis was sent to his quarters
under arrest, fortunately for him. for
after some hilarious noise he went to
sleep and did not get into the riot
which then began. The instructors
and officers Were chased out Of the
halls into their own rooms and there
besieged. The cadets obtained arms
and organized the Helvetian league to
protect themselves against the bonn
bardiers, who. they heard. were or
dered out to subdue them. Davis room
mate, Walter B. Guion OF Mississippi,
was the leader of the Heivetians- He
secured a pistol and tried to shoot
Captain Hitchcock. Some Of the OH
GERS were badly bruised with stove
wood that the cadets threw at them.
After an hour or two the riot wore
out. Later nineteen cadets. among
them Guion. were court martialed and
dismissed. Davis. with others. was
kept long under arrest and given de
merits.-Professor W. L Fleming II

NEED OF SAFETY
GATES IS SHOWN
Trouble in Handling Crowds at
PennSy Station.

Saturday and Sunday the Pennsyl-
vania station was thronged with peo-
pie. In fact the crowds were the larg-
est in years and the station officials
and the policemen on duty there had
their hands full protecting the travel
ers and their friends and relatives
from accidents. Owing to the fact
that the gate system is not used at
the local station, considerable difficult
ty was experienced in guarding the

A PEDDLER'S JOKE.
II Had a Sharp Turn That Took All
the Fun Out of II.

IL Had a Sharp Turn That Took All
the Fun Out of II.
One day a peddler of tinwarc stoppca
at country house III New England
and, leaving his horse and wagon at
the gate, went to the door. where n
big woman with a rather pleasant
face met him. He told her what he
had for sale and succeeded in dispos-
ing of half dozen articles to her.
Then she said that she had not money
enough to buy more.
well, a'am." said the pedGler. "Ill
take rags If you have any"
Il have none to SELL" answered the
woman.
The peddler saw at least n dozen
children, all small. about the house
and the yard. and he suddenly thought
of joke that he might play on the
woman.
You seem to have plenty of chill
dren," he said. Maybe you might sell
me one of them and take the pay in
tinware."
What will you give?" said the wo-
man.
I'll give S1O." said the man, "all in
The best tinware."
well, SIR said the woman. Its a
bargain; take your pick Of the lot"
The peddler was surprised that his
joke was working so well, but he kept
very serious face, and. selecting a
very bright looking little fellow of
six years, he took him up and put him
on the seat of the wagon and then
gave the woman $40 worth of such
articles as she wanted.
Never doubling that the mother
would repent of her bargain and give
him, to redeem the boy. $40 in money
the minute she saw him starting off
he climbed up on the seat, touched VI
his horse and drove off. He drove
very slowly. however. for he expected
every second to hear the woman cal
him back. for how could he think fol
moment that a mother would sell
her child for a lot of tinware?
But she did not call him back
much to his amazement, while. as fol
the boy. he was in high glee. for hs
was going to have a drive. Presently
the peddler. fearing that the joke haC
been turned on him, drove back to thu
gate. Lifting the disappointed little
fellow down from the wagon. he wen
with him to the door, where he found
that the woman had just finished ar
ranging her new tins nicely on he
shelves.
Il think the boy will not do, aftel

NO, sirr cried the woman. "A bar

''Why, ma'am," said the man, "sure

I'll sell you as many OF 'em as yo'

The peddler stared at her for min

turning suddenly toward his wagon
he drove away as fast as his hors
could take him.
But he left his tins behind him.

A Golf OUTRAGE.

The Earl of Wemyss was on a Fife
golf course on one occasion accompa-
MED by an old caddie. His lordship got
his ball on one occasion so near the
hole that to play it was. as 1t appeared
to him. superfuous. So he simply tip
ped it in with the toe of his boot.
The caddie revolted instanter, threw
down the clubs and looked Mortified.
When he found words to speak it was
to say. Hang it, me lord. gowf's

ADJUSTMENTS
MISS RoBERTs coMING.

Miss Florence Roberts, still under
the advantageous management nf
John cort, comes to the Astoria
Theatre next Wednesday in her new
play The House Of Bondage" The
appearance of Miss Roberts, always
an event, is made more conspicuous
on this occasion, owing to the keen
interest attached to her latest pro-
duction, and the environment offered
by an unusually excellent and well
balanced supporting company. Ar
thur Forrest, Thurlow Bergen, Kent
Bosworth, Harry Gibbs, Ann War
rington and Mary Bertrand, all
sterling players, is each entrusted
with a conspicuously important role.
The great popularity Of Florence
Roberts has been won by a series Of
irnpersonations that have won her /
conceded peerage among American
actresses. From light comedy to
tragedy she has attempted, and al
ways with success, a range of parts
that would appal a player Of less ver-
sability-which means any other con-
temporary artist that can readily be
brought to mind. Miss Roberts UNI
doubtedly exceis, however, in emo
tional roles, and in "The House Of
Bondage" she has a part in which she
runs the gamut Of emotions. N fact
her admirers who have seen her in
this play declare that her impersona-
ton is the triumph Of her career.

Mr.. Dunbar Has Good News

A iong-distance message reached
the Office Of Fulton Brothers, from
Salem, yesterday morning, announc-
ing the pleasant fact that the case
against ex-Secretary Of State =. Il
Dunbar, Of this city, had been decid-
ed in the supreme court, exculpating
that gentleman from all possible
charges Of mal-administration IN th.
matter Of the 100000 Of fees sought
to be recovered on the ground that
!! the Secretary was not entitled to
them during the eight years Of his
incumbency. Mr. Dunbar was the re-
cipient Of hearty congratulation on ali
sides yesterday, and while sincerely
pleased with the turn given TO the af-
fairs, maintains his old and steadfast
belief in his perfect right to such por-
tion Of that sum as he did receive in
fees, and that the mistake made by his
opponents lay in not enforcing their
doctrine while he was ii Office and III
constant receipt Of the statutory COM
pensstion. This case settles this long
mooted issue in Oregon for many a
year to come. Telegraphic reports
last night stated that the supreme
court had not passed on the merits Of
the case, but had chiefly held that the
state was not the proper party to sue

After Dr.. PEACOCK

Experts who have been going over
the books of the county officials Of
WahkiaIum county are said to have
prepared a report to the effect that
DR., Fred Peacock, the county coro-
ner, was not a citizens when he took
the Office, and that he held it for ona
or two years before he became a
citizen Of the United States, It Is
alleged that DR., Peacock became 4
citizen only last March. He had twice
taken the oath OF Office. This same
report is said to read that he also
voted in aCthlamet illegally, claiming
tobe a citizen while not actually one,
This new matter adds to the troubles
in which the Cathlamet physician
finds himself and gives new hold
for his enemies. If the report Of the
experts can be verified and substan-
tiated In court it is possible the ques-
ton Of perjury may arise, it is said.

in this written form expressed the
good win and appreciation Of the
commissioners. The set Of resolu-
tions are really fine and artistic in
appearance They were prepared by
Mr.. Tee, the city surveyor, who IS
also a member Of the commission.
The lettering is beautifully done, and
on one side Of the paper is a finely
painted scene, a glimpse Of an Ore

something that Mayor Wise can long
retain with much pleasure, both from
the sentiments engraved thereon, and
because Of the beauty Of the work
done by Mr. Tee.
