TURNS MUCHlLEASED
TRUSTEE WEssINaE~ GIVES
ASSURANCES or EARLY
COMPLETION.

Last nights Portland express had
on board the following named nine
Astorians, who, yesterday, called in 4
body upon Mr.. Wessinger, trustee for
the Wcinhard Estate, At Portland, in
the matter Of the resumption OF work
on the Weinhard.Astoha hotel here,
to-wit; Messrs. Herman Wise, G,
Wingate, w. r. Scholfeld, Harry
Hoeaer, John Cratke Z, G. Judd,
Norris Staples, J. NJ Anderson and

was cordially received by Mr.. Wessin-
ger and as soon as the object OF their
visit was made known, that gentle
gave his prompt and earnest assur-
ance that the house would be com
pleted, upon the original plans and
specifications devised for the enter.
prise; that It would be carried out
upon the liberal scale proposed by
It's projectors and upon the primary
estimates OF cost, no matter what
other steps might be taken in the
way Of similar venture, II any we're
contemplated here.
As to the approximate time for the
starting Of the big work, Mr. Yves.
singer himself could not specify that,
but gave the committee an assurance
that he would endeayor to let them
know that important particular by the
first Of April il il was within his pow
er. He adverted to the stringency,
which, he said, was practically re-
sponsible for the long delay in the
case, and the committee returned TO
this city last night, convinced, to a
man. that the proposition will be per.
feeted within a reasonable time; that
Astoria is to have a really first-class
and modern hostlery upon the site at
the corner of Twelfth and Duane
streets, where the fine foundations
have already been laid for it.
This is cheerful nets and all AS
toria will be glad to see the work
begin on this very essential improve
ment, and the hope is universal here
that nothing win be allowed to make
for another protracted delay in the
enterprise; for OF all things most need.
ed in this city, an up-to-date hotel
such as is contemplated in this in
stance, is the most commanding and
most necessitous.

DO | LOOK LIKE | WAS
DEAF AND DUMB"
THE YOUNG BEGGAR EASILY
FOUND HIS EARS AND
TONGUE.
Gee, bud dey vas easY. :

Gee, but dey was easy"
"Huh, me deef and dumb-do
look like l was deef and dumb"
1t was with remarks Of this nature
that young Harry Fletcher. the "deai
and dumb" boy who paid a visit to
Astoria last week and picked up $84C
from the charitably inclined in
two hours, regaled the passengers and
deckhands Of the steamer Lurline as
he was going up river the night the
police told him to leave town.
"Huh, do I look like | was deef
and dumb?" he asked his hearers,
Well, he certainly looked that way
to the generous-hearted citizens who
reached down into their pockets and
gave him money as fast as he asked
for it, almost.
The Astorian pointed out the next
day that the young beggar was prob
ably only shamming, and the develop
ments showed that he had sharp ears
and a nimble tongue. The police had
him in their custody for several hours
and while they surmised that he was
perhaps shamming they took no
drastic measures to find out, as they
were satisfied to get him out Of town
before he had picked up all the loose
change there was in the pockets of

men and others.
Begging is against the law; perhaps
il citizens would Immediately call up
the police station the moment they
learn Of the presence Of a beggar
Astoria would cease to be such soft
spot for the moochers.> OF course it
shows how tender-hearted Astorians
are, but it is quite shock to ascertain
that nine out of ten of the beggars,
or perhaps a far greater percentage,
are takers of the worst sort,

Found His Mother

For the past 43 years Police Officer
Emslie Houghton has gone through
life thinking that his mother was
dead. To his great surprise he heard
not long ago that she was probably
still alive and finally he heard she was
residing in Chico, Cal, and several
days ago he addressed a letter to her
there. Yesterday there came tele-
gram stating that it was his mother
who had received the message and in
a day or two letter will probably
arrive. Forty-three years ago Mr..
Houghton's father left the family
home in the state OF California and
took his boy Emslie with him, then a
little fellow, The boy grew up with
the understanding that his mother
was dead, and never for moment
in all these years had he thought she
was alive until last summer, when he
was down at San Francisco, when he
chanced to meet with some relatives,
and they by chance brought up the
question of his mother and he heard
then for the first time that his mother
had not died years and years ago.
Since then he has been tracing her
and finally found her at Chico, AS
soon as he can arrange his affairs
here Mr. Houghton expects to 90 TO
California to see his mother,

this end he seeks the best possible
place to crafty his normal appetite at
most rational expense, These things
account for the steady stream Of
