a firm hand. and many of the guests
had looked more than onc upon the
signature as if therein might lie the
key to the mystery.
The feminine guests who were wont
to sit OF the veranda rocking their
chairs from the first of June until the
middle of September, discussing social
events and comparing husbands and
incomes. now had a new theme. Who
might Miss Astor be? What was her
past? Why did she so pointedly avoid
the Monday night card party and shun
their sacred circle?
ANY one can see," said Miss Her,
relia Morton, q person of doubtful age,
whose family consisted of two brindle
bulldogs. that she has plenty of
money and-and that she's very young
TO be travelling alone"
But Miss Astor continued to keep to
herself, in spite Of her intuitive knowl-
edge that she was doing herself no
good in the eyes of the porch brigade
by doing so. She slept late the first
morning, climbed a nearby mountain
at sunrise the second, and on the third
day she set out in search of blueber-
rieS.
1t was on the fourth morning of her
stay that Harry Davis. a young and
wealthy lumbermap, was strolling
through a lonely lane not far from
the hotel. All at once he heard a shrill
cry, and ut the same moment he no.
ticed a riderless horse leap over the
fence.
Rushing quickly to the spot whence
the sound had come. he beheld a some
what frightened, dust begrimed young
woman. She had been picking berries
when the runaway horse dashed
through the bushes and frightened her.
She gave vent to a little cry at the
sight of Davis, and as he offered her
his strong arm to assist her she looked
into his eyes. She murmured her thanks
and wondered at the futtering of her
usually well behaved heart.
Much as Davis disliked the average
type of young womanhood. he became
greatly interested in Miss Astor.
Though he had intended to spend only
a day or W. In the country, he found
himself postponing his return indef-
nitely. There seemed to be so much
to talk about, there were so many
places round about the hotel that Miss
Astor never had seen, and. altogether.
he found the time passing far too
quickly.
The tongues on the veranda began to
wag vociferously. Fond mothers who
yearly spent small fortunes at summer
resorts trying to find eligible partners
for their daughters longingly wished
that these same daughters had golden
hair and appealing blue eyes. While
their daughters sat In detected twos
and threes wishing vainly that they
might travel alone, Miss Astor and
Harry Davis wandered here and there
In utter oblivion to It all.
On the very day on which Davis
had decided III his own heart that he
loved Marguerite Astor and could not
be happy without her he received a
telegram urging his immediate return
to the once. Business that could not
Be transacted by bis subordinates

he sought the girl ana told her what
had happened. asking her 1t the same

Many Convicts Escape.

Salem, Ore.-Six convicts have es-
capped from the penltentiary in the
last six days. Four left last Friday.
None of the six has been retaken. A
total of l3 convicts have escaped from
the feeble minded institute since last
spring and nearly 20 convicts have
made their escape from one place or
another during the summer.
Frank Campbell, a convict serving
two years for burglary, broke from
the lin of convicts employed digging
the trench for a sewer at the state
fair grounds yesterday afternoon, and
was shot in the back by a guard. The
wound was not serious. Campbell
was committed from Wasco county.
Charles Day, serving one year for
larceny, committed from Clackamas
county, escaped yesterday afternoon
from the gang employed at the feeble
minded institute by walking away
through the thick underbrush. Day
is the second trusty to escape from
the feeble minded institute this week.
James Adams, a Crook county con-
Wet serving seven years for larceny,
escaped Tuesday. Adams was cook
in the convict camp. and went awas
while the guards were absent.

of the Portland club of the Pacific
Coast league. Stalling is to give three
players and a piece of money for
Johnson. He will join the Highland
ers in the spring.
Johnson's long suit is his ability to
hit the ball. As slugger he has
the Pacific coast talent beaten easily
So far this year he has cracked out
nine home runs, four of which came
in pinches when they won games. His
greatest achievement of the season
was rapping the ball for the circuit
with the bases full, two out, in the
ninth inning when the score was 6 to
3 against Portland. A Sunday crowd
of 1900 saw this game.
Johnson has a fine arm and his
place with the Highlanders will prob
ably be in the role of a utility man.
He is good in any position in the in
field or outfield and can also catch
behind the bat. He throws the first
ball in the spring as hard as the last
one in the fall.
Fielder Jones, retired manager of
the Chicago White Sox, has watched
Johnson's work all season, and thinks
he is a very promising player. and
has the making of a great batsman
He can place the ball and bunts well.
He has his average over .2S5 per cent
all season.
Johnson's home is in Muncie, Ind,
and he is a glassblower by trade.

FOURTH" DEATH
RATE LESSENEO
FIGURES SHOW 4 GAIN OF
1OS LIVES OVER LAST YEAR
Campaign for "Sane Fourth" Appar-
emily Has Good Effect and the
Death Rate Is Greatly Lessencd-
Property Loss Greater Than That
OF Last Year, However.

Chicago.-Final compilations here
of Fourth of July disasters now show
a large reduction of deaths and casu-
alities to the credit Of the Sane
Fourth" movement. but an increase
i'm fire losses. The comparison stands:
Deaths, 1908, 1913; 1909, 60; gain,
1903. Accidents, 1908, 5,62S; 1903,
1851; gain, S,262. Fire loses, 1908,
$25796O 1909, $72A415; loss, $466,-
ass.
These figures being necessarily
comparative. the amount of saving
cannot be more than estimated. The
record for this Fourth in the fire loss
column does not agree with the gen.
eral reduction in the fire waste which
is resulting from increasing cooper
alton of municipal authorities in
checking this waste which falls upon
insurance companies first and then
upon the public in necessarily in
creased rates.
Not many years ago little was gen
orally known about the direct rela-
ton that exists in insurance rates 10
conditions under which the insuring
Is done, building restrictions and fire
fighting facilities, freedom from re-
strictlve and necessarily rate-raising
anti-compact and valued policy laws
and the punishments provided for ar
son. The fire waste of the country,
put by the conservative commission at
s1.260, 100000. has compelled united
efforts to reform, especially as this
figure does not include the collateral
losses by interruption to business,
lack of employment for labor, diver
sion of trade and bankruptcy and the
loss to states, counties and cities by
the destruction OF taxable property.
Summaries show that some states
including Illinois, Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Connecticut have reduced
their fire losses considerably while
other states, notably Mississippi and
Tennessee have seen the fire losses
Increase. Meanwhile new laws have
been devised adding to the difficulties
and consequent expense of underwrit-
ing and increasing the uncertainties
and therefore the rates necessarily
charged.

hood and their claim to be on an
equality with men in every way"
This statement was one Of the sa-
lient features in the address made by
Professor NJ. +. Armstrong, Phi. D.,
Ii. D., F. r. S. president Of the
chemical section of the British Asso-
c,ation for the Advancement OF Sci
ence, which began its sessions here
today. Professor Armstrong also ex-
pressed regret at what he called the
growing tendency toward premature
announcement of inciplent or alleged
scientific discoveries.
I'VE have been living in a time Of
sensational discovery" he said, "in a
period when advertisement is favor
ed and the desire for notorlety RAM
pant. Unhapply that caution that
appeared to be regarded as a price
less prerogative of the scientific
worker in the earlier part of the last
century is no longer our recognized
watchword."
DR.. Armstrong declared his faith in
the progress Of chemistry toward solv-
ing the problems Of life and sex. He
found fault with present conditions Of
society which, he said, placed no him
drance in the way of the unfit.
"Those who presumably are the fit
test" he said, ARE failing to contrib
ute In proper proportion TO the per-
petuation of their race. The condition
of affairs today affords a most strik
ing exemplification of the slowness
with which civilized nations are learn
ing to appreciate the lessons of sci
ance.
"No problem can compare in i'm
portance with that of the future of our
race. Not only do we discourage de-
at the lower end of the
scale of intelligence, but we now are,
through our system of education,
failure at the upper end. 1t
mas been stated that in the United
states of America the higher educa-
ion of girls has been proved to steril-
ZC them"

ESTHER MITCHELL
NOT 4 VAGRANT

Regarding the recent story circulat-
ed concerning the discovery of Esther
Mitchell in an opium den, the Evening
Telegram of yesterday makes this
correction.
Doubling the story of a woman in
the Victoria, B. C. Jail, who repre-
sented herself as Esther MITCHELL
sister of George Mitchell. and who
was arrested in an opium den near
Nanaimo, b. c., The Telegram wrote
o. v. Hurt, of Waldport, asking him
If the real Esther Mitchell had not
been at his home since her release
from the Steilacoom asylum. Mr..
Hurt replies:
'Waldport, Ore, Aug. 23.-(To the
Editor of the Telegram. THE report
that has been circulated that Esther
Mitchell of Corvallis, was in trouble
in Victoria is absolutely false, as she
is at my home and has been since
last April, and is living a quiet life.
She has won the confidence and re-
spect of this community. She ex-
poets to make her home with us, and
can be found here any time, and any
ope representing herself as Miss
Mitchell,is is an impostor

the flowers which have bloomed out

Only Woman Soldier Dies.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Mrs. Sarah
E. Thompson, the only woman car
ried on the rolls of the pension office
as soldier of the Union army, died
yesterday.
Mrs. Thompson was recognized as a
soldier. largely because of services she
rendered the latter part of the Civil
war, by discovering and reporting to
federal troops the hiding place OF
John Morgan, the Confederate Gen.
eral who invaded and terrorized
Ohio.
