tinge Of young green here and there.

and steaming in the sun, rolled away
like the sea. Far OF, standing out
black and forbidding against the hori.
zon, they could see the ugly buildings
of a coal shaft; behind, above the
trees that grew for the city's shade.
the convent lifted its tower, and, above
all, the gray dome Of the State House
reared itself dominating the whole
scene. The air shimmered in the haze
Of spring. Birds were chirping in the
hedges; now and then a meadow-lark
sprang into the air and fed. crying out
its strange staccato song as 1t
skinned the surface of the prairies.
Vernon Idly snapped the whip as he
drove along; neither of them seemed
to care to speak. Suddenly they
heard a distant, heavy thud. The

She gave him a strange look which
he did not comprehend. Then she
turned and glanced quickly at the black
breakers of the coal shaft, half q mile
away: then at the golf-players.
DO the mines run under this
ground?" she asked. sweeping her
hand about and including the links in
her gesture.
Yes. all over here. or rather under

his knowledge Of the locality. He
thought 1t argued well that a legislator
should be informed on all questions.

The pleasure OF the spring had gone

spasmodic burst Of speed. as livery

have to trot very far to bear them
away from the crack of the golf balls
and the dull subterranean echoes Of
the miners blasts. but Vernon felt
that a cloud had fioated all at once
over this first spring day. The woman
sitting there beside him seemed to
withdraw herself to an infinite dis

You love the country" he asked,
feeling the need of speech.
Yes" she said. but she went no

curiosity springing within him: he
longed to know more about this young
woman who In all outward ways
seemed to be Just like the women he
knew, and yet was SO essentially diff.

he could not move her to speak of her
own life or Its affairs. At the last he
said boldly:
Tell me. how did you come to be

Best Treatment for Colds.

Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplets treatment" says the
Chicago Tribune, moderate Iaxa-
tives, hot foot baths, free perspira-
ton and an avoidance of exposure to
cold and wet after treatment"
While this treatment is simple, it re-
quires considerable trouble, and the
one adopting it must remain indoors
for day or two, or a fresh cold is
almost sure to be contracted, and
in many instances pneumonia fol-
lows. Is it not better to pin your
faith to an old reliable preparation
like Chamberain's Cough Remedy,
that is famous for its cures Of colds
and can always be depended upon?

on last Sabbath morning, April 20,
after appropriate funeral services by
the pastor, Rev. j. G.. Graham. Quite
large crowd attended the funeral
services, the majority being the near

extended account of this good man s
life, not being possessed with the
proper data this week.
Hon. j. Bolton Watson and mo-
ther visited relatives here last week.
John A. Leathers, of Spartanburg,
has been at the bedside of his father

ham, Ala, via Seneca, on last THURS
day, where she will be treated in a
private sanitarium in that city. She
will remain some time, and while

brother, Capt. ]. S. Lee. We trust
the operation will prove beneficial to
Mrs. Harris, and that she may re-
turn home fully restored to health.
A tenant house on the farm Of
Floyd b. Watson was burned to the

REMARKABLE AUTOMOBILE RUN
The "NIaNwcIi' Travelled 1,O5i Miles
Without Stop.

The worlds nonstop automobile
record has experienced q most sub
stantial boost by the performance of
the 30-horSepower, four-cylinder
Maxwell touring car, which complet-
ed the scheduled 10000 miles at
4.21 p. IN. on April 18th at Boston.
The run was begun on March IS,
under the auspices of the Bay State
Automobile Association, whose Off
cial observers accompanied the car
at all times and render full report
of the performance of the car at the
end of each trip.
The Maxwell car, when it was
stopped by President Speare Of the
A. A. A, had covered 1904 40
miles, the ten-thousandth mile being
completed with G.. j. Glidden, the
father Of the Glidden tour, in the car
as one Of the official observers of the
club. During the entire ru,,. which
extended between Boston and Wor-
cester, Providence, Newburyport,
Nashua, Falmouth and South Franz
ingham, the motor was never stopped
and it is regarded as an important
feature in favor Of the Maxwell ther-
fmo-syphon cooling system that only
four quarts Of water had to be ad-
uSu " 'ilS IhS lliSI duulllOn
becoming necessary only after the
car had travelled over 5000 miles.
The drivers, G.. E. Goldthwaite, A.
See and Ellery Wright, worked in
8-hour shifts, as also did the OBJ
servers Of the Bay State Automobile
Association, j. George, G. f. Law
renee and A. Schneider.
The gasoline consumption for the
10,074 miles was go gallons, giving
an approximate mileage Of 14.S per
gallon of fuel-this in spite of the
numerous stops Of the car itself, for
replenishment of fuel and oil,
changes Of drivers, observers, etc.
In more than doubling the worlds
highest mark for nonstop running,
the Maxwell puts the new record at
a figure that is not only remarkable
as illustrating the reliability of the
modern motor car, but incidenta!!,
throws an interesting light upon the
possibilities of individual transpor-
tation.
To appreciate the immensity Of the
Maxwell nonstop performance it is
only Docessary to consider the dist
anCes Travelled by the best known of
our limited express trains. For eX-
ample, the Twentieth Century Lin
4ted, in its 500-milc run from New
York to Buffalo, changes engines no
fewer than three times and it goes
without saying that railroad cngi-
neers would consider it most diff
cult thing to have a standard rail
road locomotive travel 10000 miles
without single stop for adjust
ments or repairs.
After the conclusion of the run the
Maxwell car was given into the GUS
tody Of the Massachusetts Techno-
logical Institute, whose head, Prof
Park, has charge OF committee of
four technical men who viii, dissem-
Bile the car and render an exhaus-
tive report on the wear which has
become evident in the various parts
Of the cars mechanism. That the
car has suffered no considerable de-
terioration was shown in the final
test to which the car was submitted
under the direction of the committed
The committee, in taking charge of
the car, made it ascend Boston g

a 90 per cent grade. The car was

ADJUSTMENTS
"THE KERRY cow

There was d fair-sized audience
out at the Astoria theatre on Sum
| day night last to witness the beau-
| ties Of wit and sentiment inseparabIe
from Arthur Cunningham's portrayal
Of the jolly blacksmith Of Kerry. Old
as the play is 1t Is yet one Of the
standard Irish dramas, which, like
the poteen Of the "ould sod", grows
better with the years. There is
something honey and genuine about
these plays; something that appeals
to the better nature and Yields some-
thing, at the same time, to that same
nature.
Mr.. Cunningham makes an ideal
young Irish workman with high am.
bition born Of an honest love for a
dainty Irish colleen, and his acting
and singing, in series Of perfectly
pictured and life-like scenes, ably
supported by company Of clever
people, constitute one Of the real
pleasures TO be derived from the
stage as a source OF interest and en-
tertainment.
The play went without a hitch.
There was mirth and sympathy and
lively interest all over the house all
the time; and a good deal Of il cen
tered in the fascinating Nora Drew
presented by Miss Alice Condor, who
was sweet and clever enough to
charm far more people than mere
Dan O'Hara. The Patrick Drew Of
H. D. Byers was exceptionally fine
and was appreciated by everyone;
Earle Gardiner made a lively Ray
mond and a manly brother; Major
Gruff's ecrentricities lost nothing in
their handling by George Calvert; E.
r. Sinclair made first class villain
in the lines Of Valentine Hay and
Miss Lillian Raymond hoydenish
and jolly Alice was a show in itself.
Robert Leonard, as Captain Sidney;
Dan McManns, as Sergeant Bull; w.
r. Sheehan as Darby O'Drive; with
all the minor assignments, were
thoroughly we'll handled and lent the
play the necessary swing and snap
that fixed it as one of the pIeasantest
things that has come to Astoria this
season.

Demurrer Il Sustained.

Judge Mcbride yesterday sustained
the demurrer made BY the attorneys
for the Western Union Telegraph
fCompany against the suit brought by
10. M Owens The suit was ar un.
usual one. Owens brought suit on
the grounds that a telegram had not
been delivered TO him for two days;
The message announcing the death
Of bis niece in Aberdeen. The COM
plant asked for damages on the
ground that the complainant had suf-
fcred Humiliation" and mental an
guish," in not being able to attend
the funeral, etc. The laws do not
generally contemplate that monetary
damages can be secured for any mem
tai perturbation or anguish, for VAR
ious reasons, the principal one being
that 1t is q virtual inpossibility to
measure such damages. Therefore
the attorneys for the company de-
INJURED TO the complaint as not stat.
Ing a sufficient cause Of action and
the demurrer was upheld. That
means the action cannot get into
court. A similar ease was passed
upon in similar way in Portland a
few days ago.

PAUL cILMoRE's PLAY.
Boys of Company B" Takes Large
Audience By Storm.

A glowing tribute to the American
soldier was the keynote OF the speech
made by Paul Gilmore at the Han
cock opera house last night at the
conclusion of the second act OF the
captivating military comedy, "The
Boys of Company B" After the
star and the members Of his company
had responded to no less than doz-
en- curtain calls, when the curtain
was drawn on the scene showing the
military camp. Mr. Gilmore acquies-
ced to the wishes Of the large and
representative audience present and
made speech, in which he compared
the American soldier to the soldiers
OF Great Britain, France and Ger
many.
AS Tony Allen, in civilian dress a
lawyer, but in the khaki the captain
Of company B, a New York military
organization, Paul Gilmore has pro-
badly reached the zenith of his fame
as a romantic actor. A pretty love
story is cleverly interviewer in the
plot. The object of Tony's love is
Eileen MacLane, the role being the
hands of Jane Aubrey, who proved
as captivating as the military comedy
itself. There is military dash to
the comedy throughout, and although
the supporting company especially
the boys of company B, give the real
military flavor to the offering, it is a
dual star production with Paul Gil
more and Jane Aubrey as stars Of no
mean magnitude
