THAT possession of much of the worlds
L goods is frequently attended by the mani
festaton of the weirdest eccentriCities on part
of the owners is amusingly illustrated by the
following curious instances:
In Vienna there lives a wealthy man. a
Pole of noble origin, occupying sumptuous
ionable quarter, who, when he wishes to
summon his servants, does SO by means of
bugle calls. a favorite pastime of this eccen-
trio is to drive an omnibus, attired like any
ordinary driver of such vehicle, wherever
he may find aristocratic equipages to be most
numerous
The Eiennese assert that. while he spends a
fortune each year upon his raiment. yet he IS
never clad in any save the discarded garments
of his valet. On one occasion the Pole
founded the guests at ball by appearing in
costume of pure white, with the notable excep-
tons of shirt and tie which were entirely
black To complete the oddities. it may be
added that when dining which he invariably
aCcomplishes alone at table d hote, he main
tans his reputation for crankiness by reversing
the usual order of things and beginning his
meal with demitasse, working backward to
the soup.
1t was not long ago that there died in an
Eastern town a wealthy eccentric. who, though
he had never for years been outside the grounds
surrounding his residence. was accustomed to
boast each day that he had walked to certain
towns, generally at great distance from his
house. What he actually did was this: When
ever he decided that it would be an excellent
idea to visit distant town. he ascertained its

RICH ECCENTRICS

exact distance from his home and covered il on
foot on a carefully measured walking track
maintained on his premises for this purpose.
Should he desire to call on his friends nearby.
he would do SO by proxy, at the same time con-
Quoting a conversation with them by means of
the servants whom he sent in relays with GER
tain questions, with strict injunctions to bring
the answers speedily as possible.
A well known Partisan. according to his own
statement, has for many years defied the
weather by drinking a solution of camphor.
which in his opinion IS an excellent substitute
for clothing. 1t is said that winter and summer
alike find him sleeping without particle of
clothing, with the windows of his apartments
thrown wide open. 1t has been his custom also
to stroll in the garden. even on bitterly cold
days, in a garment much resembling that ordi-
narily worn by normal people only at night.
Among the wealthy eccentrics of England
was a man who lived near Hastings. His fad
excited much attention and amusement among
his neighbors. Principally at noon each day he
would appear in his front yard. with a crimson
turban on his head his feet covered with richly
embroidered and jeweled sandals, and with a
coolie cloth round his waist Then. absolutely
Indifferent to the boots of the people in the
street. he would first pray aloud to the sun.
the father of light and good. and Immediately
afterward PROSTATE himself before a quaint
miniature temple wherein was enshrined a
grotesque idol with diamond eyes. What made
his eccentricity remarkable was the fact that he
was not of Eastern origin, nor had he ever been
converted to any religious faith or cult of the
East.

urging its way in the direction of the bright
star Vega.
A journey to Starland
TN one of his lectures, Professor Eewcomb
once remarked that he never felt a more
delicious sense of repOse than when, crossing
the ocean during the summer, he could find a
place on deck where he could be alone and
enjoy the starit heavens. Looking up at
Lyra, with Vega near the zenith, while listen
ing to the clank of the engines, he tried to
calculate the hundreds of millions of years
the ship would require if it made the same
journey as the sun.
But the journey is one in which we are all
unconsciously engaged, on our great ship
Earth as it circles the sun, which in turn is
drifting onward in the solemn procession of
stars. The widest imaginings of eastern
storytellers, with their magic horses and en-
chanted carpets, seem spiritless in comparison
with the story told by the facts of science.
railway train does not more surely whirl us
to our destination than by this solar migration
we are swept in the direction of Vega.
Who would not wish to see with an all
seeing eye the sun and its family drifting
onward through space? Always gathering
material, and adding comets and meteor
swarms to its domain the sun sweeps on and
the obedient planets follow; but whittier they
going and how the celestial journey will
end even science cannot tell.
A Celestial Procession
A MOST fascinating discovery has just been
4 = made by Professor Boss regarding a
moving cluster of thirty-nne stars in the
constellation Taurus. These stars represent
literally " fight of suns" all drifting in the
same direction, with an average velocity of
about twenty-five miles a second There
are stars marching in widely extended
ranks, by concerted plan, along prescribed
track, under orders sealed perhaps forever to
human intelligence" They are all urging
their way onward through the star depths
with a velocity compared with which the
swifteSt motions known to us are as absolute
rest.
Each star in the celestial march is glowing
mass of gas thousands of times larger than the
globe on which we live They may even rival
our bright day star, the sun, in all its ma esty
and glory. as the sun exceeds the earth Each
star in the celestial procession may be pouring
forth supplies of heat and light and swaying
by its attraction the motions of attendant
earths like our own.
The fact that these stars are constantly urg-
ing their way through the heavens leads us to a
consideration of what has been termed star
drift Every star is in motion; for the SC
called fixed stars" long ago broke away from
their moorings and began to fit at large through
space. 1t is slow star that moves at the rate
of only mile second, the average speed being
ten miles At this rate, star traverSeS more

Among Best in Northwest.

The Brinkman Family theater is
now classed among the best in the
northwest. Manager Fred Brink
man, during his recent three weeks
absence from the city, made arrange
ments whereby he will in the future
get the very best vaudeville COM
panies on the road. He will in
future use two circuits alternating
weekly, one from the west coast, and
the other from the twin cities direct
from the east, thus giving his patrons
the best of high class vaudeville
obtainable anywhere. For thisweek,
commencing tonight, Mr.. Brinkman
has engaged two high class vaude-
vile companies, consisting of four
people, affording the best of attrac.
tions of this kind ever witnessed in
the northwest.
1t is his intention to keep his
place up to this high standard and
in order to do so will be obliged to
set the price of admission at Is and
20 cents which will meet with the
hearty approval of the theater goers
of this city who enjoy high class
vaudeville attractions.

An early morning blaze completely
destroyed the building occupied by
A. Benner as second hand store and
residence of John Spillet, and also
damaged the brick block commonly
known as the street block" caus-
ing an approximate loss of $10,-
100000; the loss being partially COW
cred by insurance.
At 3 o'clock this morning large
volume of smoke was noticed CON-
ing from the building occupied by
A. Renner, and an alarm of fire was
at once turned.
The fremen responded at once
to the call, but by the time teams
were procured and the water turned
on, both the Benner building and
Spillat residence were one mass of
flames and the efforts of the depart
ment were directed to saving the
brick block.
After two hours of steady fight
ing, the fire was brought under con-
troll but not until the two frame
buildings were totally ruined.
The fire, which was noticed in the
rear of the Benner building, gained
such rapid Roadway that the intense
heat burst the large windows in the
rear of the photograph studio of
Crippen & Reese.
Mr.. Crippen, who was asleep in
the building was awakened by the
cracking of the flames, and was
obliged to fight fire in order to
secure his clothing and books and
private papers.
Considerable damage was done to
the stock of the printing office

stock of Josyln Brothers which were
on the first floor and in the base
