FINANCES ALL READY
FOR ELECTRIC LINE
Mr.. EVANS WRITES THAT HE'S
ON THE WAY HOME.

A letter was received yesterday by
f, L. Evans, one OF the gentlemen in
teres,ed in the proposed electric Inc
to Seaside in which he states that nc
has secured portion Of the money
necessary to construct the line, by
this il is understood that having al
ready secured a part OF the finances,
the rest will be forthcoming,
Mr. Evans also stated in the letter
that he expects to be in Astoria again
by next Sunday,
The announcement by Mr. Evans
that he has secured portion OF the
finances probably will be received as
authentic and doubtless many will re-
ceive the news with much acclaim II
is known that Mr., Evans himself has
never doubted for a moment that the
finances would be easily forthcoming
1t is also known that Mr.. Rogers
the engineer who made the surveys
OF the right OF way. is also busily en-
gagged in other work of preparation,
and everything now tends to show
that the whole plan promises well,
Whether the line will be construct
ed over the hill to Young's river
bridge is said to be doubtful however,
as the FIRST plan is said to contem-
plate building around Smiths Point
on the level highway to contemplate
building around Smiths Point on the
level highway Later Il is contem-
plated to build over the hill.

The Human AppIetite.

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 i
once, and patronize it always; that Is
the rule Of the Palace.

PICTURES ARE DEVOTED
TO MANY STRANGE USES
Man Uses Portrait Of Himself kneel-
Ing in Making Proposal of
Marriage

Pictures have ere now been devoted
to strange uses. On one occasion, for
instance, William Hunt was commits
stoned to paint the portrait of a lsneel-
ing gentleman in whose hand was an
open scroll with a declaration of love
and offer of marriage thereon, says the
St. Louis Dispatch The lady to
whom this unusual proposal of mar
riage was sent replied with a chalk
drawing of herself holding a sheet Of
paper Inscribed with the laconic yes"
Pictures have not infrequently been
chosen by whimsical testators as hiding
places for their wills. To an even
greater length of eccentricity did n
gentleman go when he gave a hand
some sum to Mulready to execute a
figure subject on the back of his will,
which, thus adorned, was framed and
hung in his drawing room.
At an inn George Morland once ran
up an account which he was unable to
meet. He offered a picture in pay
ment. but boniface shook his head.
Suddenly, however, a fancy seized him,
and he invited Morland to step into the
yard. A few days later Morland was
in possession of a receipted bill. and
the following Sunday mine host ap-
peared at church in a waistcoat across
which was the picture of a gigantic pig.

New York, Dec. 16.-The three sis
ters who held the life of Ocey Snead
in their hands tonight occupy separ-
ate cells, charged by the authorities
of East Orange with murder. The
rumor that Fletcher Snead HilIsband
had been found hiding at St. Gather
ines. Ontario, is denied by the St.
GATHERINGS police.
Shortly after the arraignment to-
aay-of Mrs. Caroline W. Martin, Ocey
Snead's mother, who was arrested
last night in an uptown hotel, there
followed the third arrest in the case,
Mrs. Mary Snead, the aunt and moth
er-in-IaY of Ocey Snead, being taken
into custody.
The three notes found among Mrs.
Martins effects are all similar in
handwriting and wording to the sui
eide note found pinned to Ocey
Snead's c. rs and are deemed suffi-
cient evidence against Mrs. Martin.
The point made against Mrs. Snead is
that she was a party, with Miss Vir-
