Withdrawn, as was the case not long
ago in Seattle.
The privilege of making practice To-
cal forecasts is extended to but few
weather observers. these being select
ed by the chief of the department.
While Mr.. Grover mOdestly regards the
honor conferred upon him but lightly
and says it is nothing out of the ordi-
nary, the Walla Walla station is con-
siderably in advance of others in
smaller cities of the west because of
the power vested in the man who
watches the rain clouds. The depart
ment assumes that a man on the
ground is able to make better and more
correct forecasts of weather conditions
than one who is some distance away.
and the predictions of Mr.. Grover will
be watched with interest, not only by
the chief of the bureau, but by Walla
Wallans as well.

morrow, it will be impossible for him
to reach decision in either case be-

A petition is circulating in Salem on
behalf of Finch, on account of the fact
that he formerly lived here. Finch's
wife is circulating the petition.
Invitations for the executions are
being issued although the time is set

CHURCH AND STAGE.

The collapse of the Actors church
Alliance of Chicago, which has just
been announced. is the failure OF an
attempt to do the right thing an the
wrong way. The church and the
stage are too distinct in their respec-
tive fields to be cohesive There can
be no alliance between them save as
they are both agencies for good, in
sharply defined spheres. The pur-
pose of the stage is primarily to en-
terrain and only secondarily to edify
or exhort. But no greater mistake
could be made than to assume that
the church and the stage are bound
together by no ties of opportunity or
duty-unless it be the mistake, which
has just been proved in one conspicu-
that those ties are more intimate than
they readily are.
The stage cannot perform it's high
est mission without taking cognizance
of many things belonging to the do
main of the church, and the church
cannot perform it's highest mission
by holding aloof from what pertains
intimately to the daily life of the
people. Working together as indie
pendent coadjutors, both will succeed
Yoked together by fictitious and spec
tacular ties, neither will realize its
highest usefulness. The stage needs
something that the church has to
trying to give too much. The church
may be said to need something which
the stage has to give to bring it into
close and helpful touch with the peo-
pie. Between the two there can be
no alliance of a sort which aims tx
bring about a coalition, any more
than there can be such an alliance
between the church and the public

There is another matter related to
the identification of steam lines. 1t is
the electrifcation of terminals. This
is being brought about in several cities.

many points of view. Besides, with
the perfection to which electric

steaming and smoking locomotive is
unnecessary. 1t is more out o. place III

is noisy and dirty. It's mission is to

City jewellers are coming to demand

of the wild west, is fighting to compel
the railroad companies to haul their
trains inside the city limits with cleo
trio engines. The city council is striv-
ing to force the railroads to electrify
their terminals. And the prospect of
success is bright.

THE HANDBAG HABIT.

The handbag habit of the ladies is
bad one. But the victims Of this habit
seem to be unable to overcome it. Per-
haps they have no inclination to do so.
1t is fashionable for ladies not to have
any pockets, and therefore there are no
pockets. 1t is fashionable to carry
handbags, therefore handbags must be
carried. The case is settled. And if
the ladies insist on handbags, why, of
course, men must concede the point
and declare that handbags are charm
ing
Handbag snatching is regular en-
ployment with petty thieves. Yet it
can scarcely be called an employment
Handbag snatching is so easy that it
might be called a recreation with
thieves.
The papers daily record case after
case of handbag snatching. Cases of
this kind are so common in big cities
that the police think of them as Incl

The President had splendid mounts for

then, he is used to riding for hours at

it was the roads over which he trav-
