must be some underlined, yet logical
reason for the oversight, and it GER
tainly cannot be OF sort that is
justified upon any healthier or hon
ester hypothesis, than that sug'
gested.
Astoria is known the world over,
despite the selfish programs Of her
commercial neighbors in this regard;
and it is about time that the decenter
rule of friendlier touch was used in
the advertising utteranees of these
great eenters, She is not in their
way at present; she is going her own
way free and glad and proud of her
status and prospect, without enmity
or jealousy or ill-will toward any Of
the greater or lesser competing cities
near her; she is willing to share in
the pleasure that arises from the
patent success of her neighbors,
Portland included. and certainly Sc
attic. and il does look as if she might
at least, be, remembered by them
when they parade their lesser, and
lest threatening. competitors all over
the adjacent coast country.

The latest development in Perley's
answer to the suit filed by Williams to
recover $4,000. half the expense in.
Cured in starring the prima donna in
1899 in "The Singing Girl"
Perley declares that he was not a
partner in the venture but was en-
ployed at salary of 500 a week to
manage Miss Nelson's tour and ex'
hibits his contract with Williams to
prove the assertion.
The manager also relates the cir
cumstances surrounding the with.
withdrawal of Williams from Miss
Nelson's financial agent This event
took place at the close of the first
season. According to Perley, the
turfman told him that he was willing
to back other theatrical ventures, but

Grafton for which Perley was to re-
ceive hundred shares of stock in the

The agreement was that the stock
was to be given to Perley when it
should have drawn dividends equal to
par value of the stock.
The theatrical man, in his answer
to Williams suit asks that the stocks
be delivered to him together with the
dividends.

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.

BERLIN, April 2l.-A great SEN
sation has been created by the murder
of Fraulein Frieda Barthold, a beauti'
iul and talented young opera singer
engaged at theater at Rostoek, by
Fraulein Augusta Zobel, whose griev'
ance was that a young man to whom
she was much attached had become
engaged to Fraulein Barthold.
Fraulein Barthold was the only
daughter Of wealthy pianola manu-
facturcr OF Stettin. She was gifted not
only with a voice OF exceptional rich
ness OF tone. but with a rare degree
of personal beauty and at the begin
ming OF the musical season the mum
cipal theater Of Mecklenburg en-
gagged her. She has been trained by
one Of the greatest vocal teachers oI
Berlin, and had commenced her career
by filing minor parts in the Emperor
Williams Opera House.
On the night OF the murder Frau
lein Barthold was to have taken the
chief feminine role in the Tales Of
Hoffman" and an hour or so before
the performance was due to commence
she was giving a singing lesson in her
apartment. Suddenly a fashionably
attired young woman called, in a state
OF violent agitation, and demanded an
immediate private conversation with
the singer The pupil was asked to
step for few minutes into an adjoin'
ing room.
While she waited she heard an in
terchange Of angry words, followed
by two shots. Other inmates OF the
house rushed into the room, where
they found Fraulein Barthold lying
dead on the floor, with a bullet
through her head.
The murderess attempted fight but
was arrested at the railway station,
According to her story she hal lived
for some years in Paris, where she
had become intimate with the agent
Of large Berlin exporting firm. Re-
Gently her lover announced to her
that their intimacy must come to an
end, and shortly afterwards she had
learned that he had betrothed himself
to Fraulein Barthold. Maddened by
jealousy, she concealed a revolver in
her muff, and shot her successful rival
dead.

The question of the hour in thi:
city is who gets the money that is
paid for the protection Of the Chinese
iotteries7" The people are not going
to put up with a raw situation of this
sort any longer: there is no possible
question as to the main fact Of the
graft and the only thing to be ascer-
tanned is the exact parties behind
the outrage. We believe we can name
the men responsible for the whole
transaction, and only refrain from
usual newspaper candor for want of
proof that will stand the test of de-
liberate and legal inquiry; that proof
is certain to fall into hands that will
make it seryiceable before very long,
and in such an event there win be a
'rattling Of dry bones" in this neigh
borhood that will outmatch anything
that has been read in these columns
for many long day.
The citizens of Astoria have been
very patient in this matter for an
unconscionable time, and have been
indisposed to raise this ugly issue. for
the sake of the good name of the
community, but the pitcher has gone
to the we'll" about often enough
and there is not a radical
cessation in certain lines at an early
date there viii be something doing
that should have been done long ago.
The Astorian has pleaded for a
square deal in this community for
FIVE years now, and has materially
aided in the Strengthening out of a
number Of public impositions and in
clearing the city of some Of its worst
people and conditions; and it intends
to fathom the iniquity alluded to iii
it has to fight it out on this line all
Summer" as one OF the best and
greatest Of Americans once observed
in regard to far graver situation.
If preferences are to be shown in
any form or direction we believe in
giving the white man the first chance;
but in this particular case, we do not
concede that even the local Caucasian
has any leeway and when the mo-
ment for exposition arrives, there will
be no exceptions, nor preferential
allowances, made one way or the
other. 1t will be straight, simple
deal in black-and-white that will be
exceedingly interesting and somewhat
compromising withal 1t is simply a
question of cleaning up the municipal
sore spots" and we know of none
that needs exposition and annihila-
ton more than the issue here dealt
with.
