The Human Appetite.

OF all the whimsical, shifting. unre-
liable, treacherous, exacting things IN
the world, the human appetite for the
right thing to eat is, perhaps, the
most unreasonable and imperious.
There are those who humor it; 9TH
ers who defy it; and all men are more
or less inclined to treat it with con-
sideration. To find a place where
these varying attitudes may be fos-
tered. at the least cost in each case,
and yet keep the appetite in proper
and peaceful subjection, is always
desirable information. One place that
is conceded as perfectly adapted to
this, is the Palace Restaurant just
opposite the Page building, on Com
mercial street, IN this city. Try t
once, and patronize it always; that is
the rule of the Palace.

HANDSOME PLACE
ITS OPENING LAST NIGHT
WAS A VERY PLEASANT
EVENT,

AS pretty and entertaining an event
as Astorian has witnesses in a long
time was the formal opening Of the

last night, and the place was crowded
with a merry throng from 10 o'clock
until hong after the midnight hour,

has been improving and embellishing
the entire place, until now il is one
OF which the city may well be proud,
The electrical work, which was done
by NJ, F. Hardesty, was the last to
be completed, and the completion Of
the entire rehabilitation was celebrat-
ed last night BY the little Opening"
The Royal Hawaiian singers were
secured for the occasion, and their
music and singing added much to the
enjoyment of the many who diued,
For nearly all who hear these singers
there seems something unusual, some
thing fine. about their singing that is
highly attractive-a sort OF haunt.
ting note that crops out in their vocal
and instrumental music,
Perhaps Astoria has been just 4
little bit behind the times, in that it
has not had a finely fitted out restaur-
ant heretofore, Now the want is well
supplied, The Imperial is place to
pleasure the aesthetic taste-nothinS
too gaudy. nothing "ginger-bready"
or rococo. The embellishments Of
walls and ceilings are really fine and
artistic, and the lights in themselves
are very attractive. And it seemed
good last night to see ladies in even
ing gowns, and at least one or more
gentlemen in evening attire, take
their seats at the tables
Mr.. Gallagher is to be cohgratulat'
ed on his enterprise in so handsomely
fitting out his new place, and on the
taste in making it as attractive as
it is.

again took possession Of him. He
bought too many goods and all #
them of the finest quality and styles.
In fact, the stock bought for this
spring would be a credit to Portland
or Seattle. This sale viii include a
sacrifice Of all suits, coats. skirts, pet
ticoats, waists, gloves and the entire
fine millinery stock, which must be
sold at once, as the first loss is the
best for all concerned. Mr.. and Mrs
