Was!i'mt]icm iii.inriA. u (MI. FRIDAY IOBMNG. MAY I. 190$. Our Temperance Lecture. Another Chi -ago educational light b -iiii-.s benignantlv on a subject which most beer -drinkers will think he know-very little about, when he say- .t t»' ! - •an be produced that contains no alcohol. It is Doctor J. K S- . . of the Chicago Zymo t• -h11i• Institute. Why bless your soul. I'rofessi>r. alcohol is a king whose scepter sways the love f<>r all companionable leverages. Although its j>resenee is so small in beer that a drinker can very easily control the use of it. and may not without de lil>eration drink enough to make him intoxicated, :t is undoubtedly true that the exhiieration which ardent or malt liquors produce, are the in centive for use. It is only a con firmed toper who can drink the former without a " racer,'' swallowed while making a "rye face over the fiery fluid; even with beer, a taste has to be acquired, by prolonged use before a sigh of satisfaction follows om swallowing the foaming "cliney" or tall " grossen.'' If it were not that this element, is wanting in lemonade, while it may give " its color in the cup," or the evervescent fizz, which comes from the fount with seemingly enough bluster for a dozen "jags," they might be as popular as the so called hard drinks. Hut this they can never be. without some special adaptation that may give them an attraction over pure cold water, which is supplied by nature in the proper form to quench thirst. The STANDARD honestly believes that beer is a t mprrancr drink. The proportion of alcohol it contains is so small that it can be truly said that "it cheers but not inebriates.'' The Germans are a nation of beer drinkers, but is not as noted for inebriation as others just as noted for use of ardent liquors —the pro ducts of the still. The craving for some stimulant, whether hereditary or inherent, is almost, if not quite, universal, and what is so common must surely be an instinctive inclina tion to aid or reinforce some want of Nature. It has often been said that it is not the use, but the abuse of liquor, that should be condemned. Even radical temperance lecturers, some who use their brains to think with, admit that to be a fact; but it is as readily admitted that with the fiery draughts, moderate use, even with professedly moderate drinkers, is often impracticable, so long as the convivial habits are supported by the delights of social intercourse. A very few such drinks makes the individual reckless and oblivious of consequences, and he impairs health pocket and self-respect by a speedy debauch. This cannot be said of beer, and by beer we mean true beer; that which supplies a natural crav ing, and without the almost inevit able results of attending the use of whisky, brandy, gin, and some wines and cordials, that contain a large proportion of alcohol. In this view we are supported by statistics which show that as the malt product has largely supplanted the use of distilled or vinous fermented liquors as a bev erage, the use of the latter has de creased, within an equal limit of population. A TRIAL is to be made in Michigan for the Federal authorities to co operate with the State Game War dens for extermination of wolves, and if it is successful the campaign will doubtless be extended to other States. The deer of our country are being rapidly exterminated by the pest, and it is roughly estimated that from one to two thousand deer are slain each Winter by wolves. The success that has followed scien tific wolf-killing in other parts of the country is indicated by reports from the forest reserves. The biological survey has worked with the forest service in an effort to clear the na tional forests of timber wolves and coyotes, atd reports received by the survey indicate that between 1,400 and 1,500 timber waives were killed last year in and near the forests, and about 19,000 coyotes. THE LARGEST WOMAN. —Miss Eva Allen, 33 years of age, who lately died in Menard county, 111., was said to be the largest woman in the world. She was nominal size till the age of twelve years, when she took a new growth and her size increased rapid ly, and at 30 she weighed 600 pounds, and was exhibited all over the coun try. Her weight at death was 569 pounds. The casket was so large it could not be placed in the hearse, and had to be taken to the cemetery on a dray. A FIVK THOCSASD DOLLAR HEN. — Ernest Kellerstrass, of Kansas City, Mo., has a $5,000 hen. "Peg" is the hen which Mme. Paderewski, offered its owner $5,000 for and it was refused, but he sold the madam five of Peg's chicks for SI,OOO a piece. When we consider that her husband receives that sum occasionally for a single performance on the piano, the price of Peg's progeny does not seem especially exorbitant. IN Pittsburg, Pa., the loaves of bread have grown so small, that an old law dating far back as 1794 has been invoked to restore it to normal size. Informations have been made against a score or more of bakers for an order that the loaf shall conform to the old standard, and weigh one pound. Death of an Honored Piou'ter. Andrew J. Chambers, a pioneer of IS4.">. almost a lifetime resident of Thurston county, past away shortly after7o'clock Saturday morning, at the family home. < hambcrs prairie, after a short illness. He suffered a paralytic stroke Tin -day afternoon of last week and. although he re gained con-eiousnes-". he constantly grew weaker and no hope was enter tained for his recovery from the first. He contracted pneumonia a few days, ago, which further complicated Lis case. He was Si years of age and was born in Indiana in 1825. He lived for a time in Kentucky: crossed the plains to Oregon in 1845, resid ing in Oregon City till IS 17. which year he changed his home to the prai- rie in this county bears his name and where he resided till death, with the exception of three years spent in the gold mines of California, whence he returned in IS.VS. In 1854 he was married to .Miss Margaret White, at the home of bis brother, David Cham bers. four miles north of his home. Mr. Chambers crossed the plains with his father, Thomas J. Cham bers, and live brothers, only two of whom now remain, Thomas Cham bers of North Yakima, and McLane Chambers of Roy, in Pierce county. M rs. Mary Doherty of Taeoma. a sis ter, and Robt. Chambers of Pierce county, and Mrs. Peterson of Seattle, are half-brother and sister. Five of Mr. Chambers' daughters were present during his last hours. They were Mrs. Jacob Hunsacker of Kverctt, Mrs. Chas. C. Denny and Mrs. Win. Calhoun of Seattle, Mrs. Robt. (iranger of Sumner, and Mrs. Geo. N. Talcott of this city. Mrs. W. T. Hoskins, of Terra Haute, Ind., did not arrive till the day after his death. A granddaughter, Miss Mos salien Chambers, was also present at the close of life. A wife, who has been an invalid for years, also survives her husband and resides at the old family home. The impressive funeral rites, the large attendance of pioneers and others, the profusion of flowers, and the tear-drop in many an eye afford ed eloquent tribute to the memory of a worthy man in all the relations of life. He was a good husband, a kind and indulgent father and an upright citizen. As illustrating his strict sense of justice it is related that while serving in a subordinate com mand, a squad of men during the Indian war, he was unable to prevent them from foraging in the enemy's country, and the volunteers helped themselves to several fine horses on their line of march. Protests un availing he returned to his superior officer, reported the transaction and declined any further detail of service where the strict law of right and justice might not be obeyed. A like respect for square dealing charac terized all transactions with his fel low man. A GCOD TEMPERANCE STORV.— It is stated that the British steamer Braunfels, which arrived this month from Calcutta, at Philadelphia, car ried as part of her cargo, 400 mon keys, which were confined 'tween decks. On the voyage, a pet baboon, mascot for the ship, contrived to liberate the monkeys, which swarmed over the ship, taking to the rigging in which they were perfectly at home in climbing, and at once developed the usual monkey instinct of hurling everything detachable at the crew. This went on for some time, until the captain thought of an expedient whereby the incident passed without the serious results that threatened management of the vessel. He mixed a quantity of strong brandy with molasses and placed it in pans upon the deck. Very soon some of the more venturesome came down and sampled the repast prepared for them. Their report seemed to be favorable for very soon a string of monkeys were fighting each other for a share of the delectable mess, and it was not long till, like poor frail humanity, they were trying to stand on their heads and performing other foolish acts, when they became an easy victim for recapture and im prisonment, to sleep off the effects of their debauch. ROOSEVELT'S JUDGMENT AS TO THE FIVE FOREMOST DEMOCRATS. —The President seems determined to gather an incongruous assemblage on the 12th, 13th and 14th of this month, when the State Executive are by in vitation to be his guests at the White House. He now includes five prominent Democrats, and his list is interesting as showing the pertonnel as well as the order of precedence he, has assigned them. They are. James J. Hill, Andrew Carnegie, Grover Cleveland, William Jennings Bryan and John Mitchell. Besides the Governors of all the States, Cabinet members, the Justices of the Su preme Court and members of the Inland Waterways Commission have been invited, all but the five named coming ex-offico.i EMMA GOLDMAN, the champion anarchist, and her suite of followers, Dr. Benjamin Reitman. her manager, and Alexander Horr, her advance agent, were ejected from the St. Frances hotel, San Francisco, last week, by its management, who de clined to become the host of such dangerous malcontents. They found accommodations at the home of a sympathizer. THE transcontinental railroads have announced cut rates to Puget Sound to see the fleet when it arrives on our great inland sea next month, and we may expect many visitors from the far East and middle West. MADE HIS STOMACH SEI.F-SCPPORT iN<i. A few days ago, a man named Henry Harrison, but better known as the " Human Ostrich,"' died in Seattle, from having swallowed a nail | bent like a fish-hook, without curling : the point under the head, as usual when he included pointed articles in I his demonstration diet. A />■>••' mor !ti hi is said to have developed in his stomach one horseshoe nail, eleven knife-blades, five lath-nails, six small screws and three tacks. Harrison was a Hebrew. 38 years old. and said that he had been following the " Hu man Ostrich" business for nearly ! twenty years, that during that time he has worked on an average of 15(1 ! days a year, and that this is the I first time he has ever had any trou j ble with his stomach as the result of | swallowing tacks, screws, horseshoe ! nails, knife-blades, and various other ] articles of the hardware variety, i During his career on the vaudeville I j stage he said he had swallowed at | least lot I knife-blades, but that he j never kept any account of the nails, j tacks, screws and other small arti ! des. because he did not think they I were worth remembering. Oi'H Far IT- Yi EMM. —Prof. W. S. Thornbur, Professor of Horticulture in the Washington State College at Pullman, lately said: " Full crops of fruits from the orchards that are now planted in the State will yield from $40,000,000 to $60,000,000, and if we continue to plant, it is only a ques tion of time when Washington will be the greatest fruit-producing district in the world." This is startling but truthful language. Our State has nearly 100,000 acres of orchard fruits and enough trees have been sold to increase it 20,000 this year. At the same rate of advancement the acre age will be doubled in five years. He refers to the wonderful yield of $2,500 in apples from a single acre, near Spokane, and of $1,651 from dew berries grown on a like area irriga ed land. A third of an acre yielded S2OO in the Spring and SIOO in the Fall, making an aggregate of SBOO per acre. Nor are these yield excep tional where reasonable care is taken in cultivation. THERE is one American titled bride —and we believe the only one—who merits and receives the heartfelt sympathy of her people in the loss of a worthy husband, and that is the Duchess of Chaulnes, late Miss The dora Shonts, youngest daughter of Theodore P. Shonts, of New York, who was married to the Duke Feb. 16th of this year. It seems the Duke had been a sufferer from a weak heart for years, and had for some time been subject to fainting spoils. His death came, however, unexpectedly. With his wife he had just come from a drive in the Bois Rologne, and were about to retire, when he suddenly gasped for breath and lost consciousness. Ho died before a doctor could be sum moned. The wife's father was noti fied by cable of his daughter s be reavement, and left by the first steam er for France. MUST HAVE PEACE THOUGH WE FIGHT FOR IT.— Mrs. Eddy, the High Priestess of Christian Science, is said by the Sentinel, the organ of that cult, to have declared that in favor of a big navy as a peace pre server, as follows: " For many years I have prayed daily that there be no more war, no more barbarous slaughttrof our fellow-beings; prayed that all the peoples on earth and the Islands of the sea have one God, one mind; love God supremely, and love their neighbor as themselves. Na tional disgrcements can be, and should be arbitrated wisely, fairly and fu.ly settled. It is unquestion able, however, that at this hour, the arinanent of navies is necessary for the purpose of preventing war and preserving peace among nations. A SOLUTION THAT IS CLAIMED TO BE DEATH TO THE TOKEDO.— Charles Shalberger, of Tacoma, it is claimed has discovered a coating for piles that will preserve them from the ravages of the toredo. He has tried it on wood subject to all the condi tions of the ordinary pile for over three years without the slightest evidence of any attack from the marine worm, and he feels quito sure that it will protect indefinitely. The trial was made in waters that seemed to be a special field for the toredo and wharves have to be wholly re newed after a service of two or three years. If Mr. S.'s claim is verified it is one of the greatest boons con nected with economic management and safety of water-front property for deep water navigation. ROIIEKT MILLER, a young lineman who was so frightfully burned by the fall of a live wire at the Tacoma smelter, Saturday, died Wednesday from his injuries. His last request was that he be united in marriage to his affianced Miss Noma Learned, and the ceremony was performed, and a few hours afterward he died in his wife's arms. FIVE thousand marching tars from the American fleet paraded in San Diego, Cal., on the 15t ult. It was the most imi»osing pageant ever wit nessed in the State. It took the long concourse five hours to pass a given point. IT is reported that Hearst s candi date for President to be supported by his Independent League, is Thomas G. Hisgan, of Springfield, Mass. One thing is certain: Nobody by the name of His-gan be elec ted. SUELTON is to have a new hotel to supply the place of the burnt build ing, the Hotel Webb. y M V SF-Nl' 1 1 DRIFTWOOD G X BY LUE F VERNON. | C\A-X-N N 'ViiS Laugh and the bunch laughs with you. Some men have an idea that Heaven is one long pay-day. You are all advised to give vent to your mirthful feelings. When you g.-i. right down to the true inwardness of it you will find that a man's best friend is himself. When our shafts fail to hit the mark, we generally have a feeling that it is because the mark is too low. Spring sheil* her loveliness anew To glaililen lov's yoiirij; dream ; It's must ti o warm lor oyster stew ; Too chilly for ice-cream. A woman is always interested in the age of another woman. Old maids were born in the wrong time of the moon there was no man in it. Fish is said to be good brain-food, hut it really seems a pity in some cases to waste so much fish. No man may expect to enjoy him self fishing unless he has something better than worms in his bottle. The eagle had better ]<x>k to his laurels, because the Teddy bear is somewhat to the front, just about now. It is by far better for women to wear the " Merry Widow" hats than to see them don the " weeds" of thfl sad widow. " Women have l«;en wronged for ages, and have suffered in a thousand ways," declared a woman's rights lecturer in Seattle, recently. Well, there is one way in which they never suffered —in silence. * ★ ★ The Olyuipin Dnih/ Snrx is as far above the Otym jn'tui and lumrifi r, as a newspaper, as the Sun is above the Karth, and this is not saying a bit too much. [Not if we judge of such matters by the true Standard. —Ki>. ] * » ♦ Congressman Cushman and Wil liam Jennings Bryan was the biggest liar in the world, or words to this ef fect. All the arrows of the hate, envy and malice shot by ten-cent Congressmen, or any other class of men, rolls from Bryan's placidity like water off a duck's back. * * * The other day, where some build ing was going on in Olympia, a man asked for a job. The lx)ss told him there was no vacancy, but he might call in a couple of days, because, he explained, " We've got a man here who hasn't come, and if he doesn't turn up to-morrow we shall send him home." * * w Rockefeller, Morgan it Co. believe that the more money there! is to lx* made out of a deal the more credit able it is. This is a characteristic aphorism of the present day and one that should be engraved in golden letters upon the tombstone of some of our financial magnates' as repre senting the hit Hint if of their business transactions. * * * John L. Wilson is the man who should be representing Washington in the United States Senate. He accomplished more for the State at large while in the Senate, than both Ankeny or Piles will ever do. I fully believe that Wilson will again be a ! United States Senator from the Evergreen State, and there are many people in the State who hold the same opinion. * ★ ★ There was B sweet fancy in It'irt'inls of old Of a star that hail wandered at play. And the learn that it shed in the search for the fold Still shinea in the fair uiilky way. So the thoughts of my heart, of the years that have fled Are shining like stars o'er the sea, And the cycle of years, when their beauty is dead Will be hallowed bv memories of thee. * * * It has always seemed a shame to me that after an actor or vaudeville artist has done his or her best, the public should show its satisfaction by demanding a double programme. I suppose the custom of giving " en cores" has arisen by good-natured artists singing, dancing, or doing whatever their stunt may be, over again, to please an audience, but the public seem to forget that to many actors during their "turn" before a large audience is a great strain, and that it is not kind to ask for this strain to be repeated when the per former has done enough. Give per formers, when his or her work suits you, a hearty applause, but don't in sist on an encore —probably five or six times. _ . , „ * * * United Senator Samuel H. Piles. of Washington State, is a remark able fine, well-built man —a " Beau Brummell" as it were. The Senator, while walking down a street in Seattle—his home town — happened to pass two men who were packing sacks of coal, weighing one hundred pounds each, up to the third floor of a house-keeping apartment building, when the following conver sation, by the two men, whose faces were begrimmed with coal-dust, oc curred: " Say, Bill, who is that big, swell looking fellow?" That's United States Senator Piles, of this State. They say he is one of the brightest men, as well as being the handsomest dressed man, amongst the august body of law makers at the national eapital." VV hat a splendid man," rejoined the other. ' [ never in all my life, see'd such a back for a sack of coal." OI'R NEXT SERIAL,. —In our issue of the 15th inst. we will begin publi cation of "The Princess Virginia," a story ot moderate length, a charm ing romance of love and adventure, which we think the best since our presentatien of " Wings of the Morn ing." It is by C. N. and A. M. Wil liamson, authors of "The Lightning Conductor,' and " Rosemary in Search of a Father," and other popular literature. It is the rom ance of an English Princess, whose American lineage enables her to hold her own in the game of hearts she plays with her imperial lover. The Orrguitiun says, "It is a dash ing romance of imperial lovo that stirs the imagination to the highest degree." MRS. GOULD, of Shelton, has been sent to the Hospital for the Insane, at Fort Steilacoom. YOB MAY TAKR VOIR CHOIOB BAU.OOJI OR STAOE.— John G. Hall, proprietor uf a stage-line from W*i li sted. Conn., and the Berkshire hills, is getting estimates on a derigible balloon with the intention cf carry ing passengers by that means when prevailing winds permit, and peo ple wish to make a journey by flight and are willing to pay a little extra for the novelty. THE people of Utah, on the ltitli ult., had a double scare when live shocks of earthquake were followed by a sudden darkening of the sky and Hashes of lightning.
