SENDS DISEASED HUMAN
FLESH TO INFECT JUDGE

Colorado Springs, Colo.--Justice of
the Peace A. p. Toombs recently re-
ceived two pieces of human flesh
through the mail Accompanying
them was a note explaining that they
had been taken from a smallpox pa
tient, the writer expressing the wish
that the Judge might catch the dis
ease and die. The county physician
and the city chemist, both examined
the grewsome contents of the letter
and pronounced them human flesh.
There is no way, they declare, that it
can be told whether the flesh contains
contagion until some animal Is inoc-
ulated. This will be done.
In the meantime Judge Toombs has
reported the matter to the federal au-
thorities for investigation and num-
Der of the city detective deparement
have also been assigned to work out
the mystery.
Judge Toombs is unaware of the
existence of any enemy, unless it be
some one upon whom he has inflicted
punishment in his official capacity.

German and English firms are af-

time, while most American manufac-
turers seem to send their men over

these easily demonstrate the fact that
the Chinese prefer to deal with Am
erican merchants.
zone of these lines is cotton goods.
The last three years has been a steady
increase in the call by Chinese mer-
chants for American cotton goods.
German and English cotton goods
fell off in the quantity imported,
though there was big increase in the
total. The same is true of smoked
and canned meats. 1t might be true
of all commodities if American mer-
chants would wake up"

Society.
(Continued from Saturday )


The most important social event,
not only of the week, but of the entire
season occurred at the handsome resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. John Ross
Dickson on South Main street, Friday
evening. Always leader in all things
musical, Mrs. Dickson secured one of
the best artists in the northwest to
afford the people of this city real
musical treat. The affair was in no
sense of the word for Prof. Odessa
Sterling or to introduce him to the
people of Pendleton, but was arranged
in order that the lovers of music in
this city might be afforded the rare
pleasure of hearing an artist of note.
Prof. Sterling Is at the head of the
piano department in the Whitman coll
lege conservatory of music and those
who have heard him before or who
heard him Friday night for the first
time do not hesitate to pronounce
him one Of the best who ever appear
ed in this city. The program includ-
ed numbers from Brahms, Chopin,
List. Beethoven and Staub and af-
forded ample scope for the great YER
Eatlllty OF the dTIlSL. EVERY HullDci
was a master piece but the most pop
ular ones were probably the "B Minor
Rhapsody." from Brahms, the three
Beethoven dances, Under the Trees
by Staub and the Chopin Polonaise OF
SO. At the conclusion Of the musical
program the guests were invited to
the dining room where refreshments
were served. Mrs. e. p. Marshall
presided at the coffee urn, while Miss
Edna Florence, Miss Gertrude Camp
bell and Miss Lavelle Florence, as
sisted in serving.
Charles Michaels and bride, who
were married near Pilot Rock, We'd

SCORES THE LORDS.
Paper Characterizcs Opposers of the
Budget Hereditary IntcrlOpcrs.

London. - Reynolds Newspaper
contains a criticism of the lords which
represents the growing sentiment OF
millions of Englishmen, 1t is as fol-
lows:
Is it not a monstrous scandal that
the existence of thoroughly demo-
cratic Budget should be at the mercy
of a band of antedeluvians who have
no sympathy with modern ideas. If
the peers were distinguished by su-
perior intelligence, there might be
some compensation for their anamo-
lous position. But when we find the
majority of them perfect dunder-
heads, with less than the average
amount of intelligence and with alb
solutely no interest in politics, save
where their own selfishness is con-
cerned, the situation becomes serious
in the extreme. The situation how
ever, has its compensations. Unable
to realize the peril of their conditions,
the coroneted dunderheads will drive
matters to extremities Like certain
animals mentioned in Scripture, they
Will rush over steep place into the
sea. Those whom the gods wish to
destroy they first drive mad. By re-
jectlng the Budget, the lords, while
demonstrating their own political lu-
macy, will greatly contribute to their
own destruction. At any rate, they
will at last make a clear issue which
the people can understand. That is
sue will be whether the people are to
be masters in their own house, or
whether they are to be ruled by a
band of hereditary interlopers, who
have hitherto defied all attempts at
election?

GIRLS FORSAK|NG
PATH OF VIRTUE
DECLARE
IMMORTALITY ON INCREASE
Clergymcn and Soclologlsts of Eng
land Make Startling Announce
ments-Say Socalled Gcntlewomen
and Girls of Respectability Are
Worst Sinners.

! Iondcn,-That immortality is ON the
Increase among the women of Eng
land, and especially among gentlewo-
men and so-called respectable girls,
is the striking statement made by
clergymen and soclologlsts at the re 8.
cent conference of the Moral Educa-
| ton Society in Manchester One
prominent clergyman openly declar-
! ed that he was not so much concern
ed about the girls who did not go to
church as the girls who attended the
| Bible classes, meetings and church
and was afraid alslo of a great num-
! Der of communicates. They got it
! from the police reports, also, that
this kind of immortality was tremend-
ously on the increase among the So
called respectable girls.
! Rev. DR. Goodrich, who presided
| referred to the need of more enlight-
enment among the young. and said
! the secrecy or the silence that was OBJ
served nowadays with respect to NOR
al questions was frequently interpre-
ted by young people as a sort of per-
mission for error with respect there
! to. Rev. A. T.. Reardon said they
/ ought to take into full account the
| tremendous amount of knowledge
| that existed If there was an ignor-
ance of that which was right, he was
quite sure there was a very great
/ knowledge of that which was wrong
He had to deal with hundreds of
young men and women in the young
| peoples clubs in Manchester, and he
knew that the knowledge the young
! people had would appall most of
! them. He knew of one place in Man
chester where several hundred girls
were employed, but the workmen
could not possibly be brought in un-
til the forewoman had obliterated the
epithets written on the walls by the
girls in the workshop.
Parents Partly to Blame.
| Miss Rose, secretary of the Liver
pool Branch of the National Vigilance
! association, delivered an outspoken
address on the morals OF young peo-
pie For a long time they had felt
| that it was absolutely criminal of
I parents to allow their children to go
out into the world without telling
them something of the dangers they
would have to face. Speaking of the
causes that leld girls astray she refer
I red to amusements and the love of
| dress. a case the other day that came
into her hands was due to the latter
cause. A girl was enticed away for
a bad purpose through a fine lot of
clothes. There were other influences
ana difficulties; for instance, the bus
mess life in large shops, factories and
warehouses. do you realize the mo-
notony very often, of these young
girls lives in big towns. away from
their homes?" The girls liked to
get out in the evenings. and then
temptation came along "I know for
fact that a great many of our girls
are tempted by men who are rich,
and who take them away for days
amusement or for week-ends and so
on" She did not think they liked to
realize the amount of evil that went
on in school life.
