MAY BE MURDER.

SAN FRANCISCO, July H. -
Working on the theory that John
Buchneff, a l4-year-old lad whose
body was found buried in bin Of
garbage at the sanitary reduction
works last night, was murdered, and
the body thrown into the bin to CON
ceal evidences OF the crime, the police
today placed August Delmonte, an
employe OF the plant, under arrest
pending further investigation. A post
mortem examination showed the boy
came to his death from a wound in
the head such as might have come
from a prong Of a rake or small cali
bre bullet. No bullet was found how
ever. The police are working on the
theory that the boy was playing in
the ibn and when ordered away did
something to anger some employee
who struck him in the head.

ORNAMENT OF NATURE

These signs, and the thoughts that
they excite in us, make the American
girl OF this hour seem more than COM
monty like an adventurer in unchart-
ed seas, bound for a port set down in
papers that have as yet an unbroken
seal, and whose course our utmost
love and best experience can no more
than imperfectly anticipate and safe
guard And that gives us the more
sympathy with her reluctance to be
shaped on the lines OF any existing
pattern, and makes US more attentive
and indulgent to promptings and re-
fusals and aspirations that may have
back OF them intuitions that are wiser
than any premonitions of ours. The
most we can do for her is to provide
that her preparation and equipment
shall be the 'soundest and most thor
ough that can be given her 1t is
matter of faith that she will do for
the world what her mother did before
her; aye, and something more; but
she will do it somewhat differently;
in her own way, and not precisely as
her mother did. One would think,
to see her out of doors, that she was
all for sport, and found the main
spring OF existence in the chase after
pleausre. Surely in that aspect she
is delightful to regard, the most
pleasing and inspiring OF all the orna-
ments upon the face Of nature. To
adorn creation being one important
thing that she is here for, there can
be nothing but grateful approval Of
her spirited discharge Of that duty

LAST HONCRS FOR
THE DEAD
BEAUTIFUL RITUAL READ
OVER THE BODY OF THE
LATE P. L. CHERRY AT THE
GRACE CHURCH.

During the hours between 10 a. m.
and 2 p. m. yesterday a great many
friends of the late P. L. Cherry
called at the family home on Fiji
teenth street to take a last look at
the face Of the honored dead, and to
pay their respects to the family, the
list embracing representatives Of all
the leading families and business
houses of the city,
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the
funeral cortege moved from the
house to Grace church, where the
solemn and beautiful ritual OF the
dead was read by the rector, Rev, w.
Seymour Short, assisted by Rev.
John Warren, rector Of Holy Inno-
cents chapel. The pall-bearers chos-
en-, and serving, were Messrs. G. Win
gate, Judge F. J. Taylor, Judge c. J.
Trenchard, Col. S. D Adair, S S. Cor
don and Brennan Van Dusen. After
the ceremonies at the church the re-
mains were escorted to the Astoria &
Columbia River Railway depot and
accompanied by all members Of the
family (save one, Mr.. Edward
Cherry, and several devoted friends,
were taken to Portland, on the even
ing express, where the body will be
cremated at the crematory of the
Portland Crcmatory Association near
Sellwood at 10 o'clock this morning.
1t was necessary in the interests Of
the consulate business that Mr. Ed
ward Cherry, who is in charge here,
since the death of his ia ather, should
remain and meet such matters as are
certain to arise daily at that Office.

DON'T LIKE BRYAN
German Paper Says He is Far Below
The Level OF Cleveland.

BERLIN, July 11.-All the news
papers this morning print the news
of the nomination by the democratic
convention at Denver of VIM. ],
Bryan for the presidency OF the u.
S. but the most OF them without com
ment. The Boersen Zeitung, Ma
tional Liberal, says:
Mr.. Bryan upon the whole is a
very sympathetic personality His
great eloquence is due to his speak
ing his conviction. He is a man Of
weight and magnetism but hardly a
statesman" The Morning Post, the
radical democratic organ, says Mr..
Bryan is far below the level Of Grover
Cleveland in statesmanlike capacity.

ACTOR TUMBLES IN
THE RIVER
JACK" MCDONALD SINKS
TWICE AND GLENN HARPER
JUMPS INTO THE COLUMBIA
AFTER HIM.

Jack" Mcdonald, one OF the
members OF the Georgia Harper
theatrical company now playing at
the Astoria theatre, accidently fell
from the Calender dock shortly be-
fore 6 o'clock last evening and mar
rowly escaped death in the surging
currents OF the Columbia. Glenn
Harper, one OF the proprietors OF the
company, was with him at the time,
and Immediately jumped in after Nc
Donald, who is unable to swim.
As Mcdonald struck the water he
|, sank deep out OF sight For the sec
ond time he sank, just as Harper was
nearing him. Meantime the two men
in the water had been seen by others
about the docks and someone threw
out rope, which both men managed
to get hold of, and in few moments
Mcdonald and Harper were both
drawn to safety,
How Mcdonald fell off the dock is
not very clear, and it all happened so
quickly that neither Mcdonald or
anyone else seems to know just how
the accident occurred. The Georgia
Harper company had "Ten Nights in
Ia Bar Room" on the boards yester-
day afternoon and last night, and
after the matinee Mcdonald and
Harper walked down to the water
front to get a breath of fresh air
They were feeling somewhat jolly
after the sultry atmosphere and the
heat of the theatre, and began fool
ing" around the dock. Then suddenly
Mcdonald went out OF sight into the
chill waters like fash.
AT all events Mr.. Mcdonald was
saved from a watery grave and Har-
per showed that he has the stuff in
him that heroes are made OF, and
both played their parts last night as
if nothing had happened. Mr.. Har-
per took the part of the son Of one
of the wicked, drinking men in "Ten
Nights" and Mr.. Mcdonald as the
gay and wicked gambler.

THE COAL QUESTION

NEW YORK, July l1.-lf the con
sumption of anthracite coal contin-
ues at the same rate at which it has
been going on for the last several
years it is estimated that the supply
will be entirely exhausted in the year
2055 says Edward w. Parker Of the
United States Geological Survey. He
adds that by that time according to
the records up to date the U. S. will
be using more than two billion tons
a year 2,300,OO0,00O to be nearer exact.
The aevrage annual production dur
ing the decade from 1916 to 1925 will
be about 600,O0000O tons. The total
production in 1907 was 480,450,042
tons"

RAILWAY WILL STOP
ITS WHISILINC
THE ASTORIA 4 COLUMBIA
RAILWAY SETS A FINE EX-
AMPLE THAT STEAMERS
MIGHT NOW FOLLOW.

Yesterday City Agent G. b, John
son, OF the Astoria & Columbia
River Railroad Company, received a
communication from Superintendent
John Mcclure at Portland, advising
him that orders had been issued from
Mr. McGuire's Office to all engineers
and hos;lers OF the company, 10
cease blowing all engine whistles in
passing through this city, from the
round-house at the eastern end OF
the city, and the Tallant- Grant can
merry on the west; but that the bells
on the engines must be kept ringing
constantly all the way through the
city,
The only exception allowed in the
new whistling order, is that the engi-
neers will use them at any and all
times when it is essential TO save life
or property.
ms Is ready and appreciated
concession by the company TO the re.
cent expression in this city against
the constant whistling in that service,
and will not lack ready acknowledge
ment on all sides. Ii is to be hoped
the friendly and prompt action OF the
4. & c, will be emulated by the
steamer companies whose boats are
really responsible for the most OF the
uproar along the water
front. The call whistles from the
docks may easily be dispensed with,
and il some passengers are unlucky
enough to lose their steamers time
or two, it will enforce closer OBJ
servance Of the schedules, and save a
wonderful lot OF public annoyance in
the city, day and night.

BUSY and THRIVING
TINES AHEAD
MANAGER WHYTE OF THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER OUT
LOOK FOR THE FUTURE.

The regular meeting OF the
Chamber Of Commerce will take place
tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. Since
the last meeting the directors for the
new electric railroad to Seaside and
Tillamook have been elected and sur
veying OF the line has begun. The
ong-talked OF oil and gas boring
proposition has been bought to a
point where beginning OF drilling may
be announced on almost any day and
the Chautauqua proposition has been
successfully financed so that with
next year it may be expected that
the largest Chautauqua Association
in the Northwest will be thing OF
reality in Clatsop county. The ma
chinery for the brick plant is due any
time and considerable discussion may
be expected upon the seawall propo-
sition. The Astoria Military Company
is now organized and something will
probably be heard about this excep-
tionally brilliant enterprise which has
been so intelligently conducted by
City Attorney Abercrombie.
Then it might be mentioned that
while Astoria has not yet succeeded
in achieving the so-called, much
mooted common point rate on wheat,
yet Kalama, large and growing city,
which bids fair to outrival Portland
and which is about half way between
Astoria and Portland, his having
large docks built for the shipment of
