In| NEW YORK GOSSIP New York July 23. —Six weeks ago it was almost impossible to secure passage on any one of th<- out-going transatlantic liners, so large were the crowds going abroad for the spring vacation in Europe, but now the rush js over and there is a general com iiiaint of the dullness of general bus iness in this line. Shipping men are suffering severely, the last two weeks •having shown a falling off of fully 10 per cent in the average number of steamships in this port, and for this reason can share the sorrows of the passenger steamship people. New York is improving as a sum mering p!a- \> every year and the dim mer attractions are getting better all the time. The theater and hotel roof garden have become a joy. There are cooling drinks, the summer vaude ville and the refreshing breezes from the bay and rivers blowing through one's whiskers. Scores of families who formerly went away every sum mer now stay ai home, taking little daily trips to the beach or up the river it sound, returning to their own com fortable be,is at night. This is true, of course, only of people in moderate, circumstances, for the Newport, Nar ragansett and Bar Harbor habitues nave the out-of-town microbe and cant get rid of it. The men who have remained in town and sent their fami lies to the seashore and country seem r o be glad to be here. The dog days have started the curb market oft' on its summer wanderings. oDwn in Broad street, where the curb brokers hold their picturesque mar ket, the sun comes tip behind the sky piercing Broad Exchange Building and the dealers wander here and there to keep in the shadow of the structure, in the afternoon the sun sets over be hind the equally tall Johnson building ami in the shadow of this the afternoon market for stocks and bonds is held. So accurate is the market's informa tion <it deepest shadows that a case .}f sunstroke was never known. Preliminary work for the construc tion of an island in New York Bay be tween Liberty and Ellis Islands by the government has been completed and the work of filling in the site marked out will be begun immediate ly. Tbe island will be 800 feet long and 500 feet wide. On it will be built a reception hospital for contagious diseases. There are persistent rumors afloat that Mr. Lewis Nixon, formerly head >f Tammany Hall, will soon return to the Held of politics, and the report has led to the he'ief that he will lie a for midable candidate for the democratic mayoralty nomination. Tammany .and Mr. Nixon did not agree very well that which be accepted the leadership of The wigwam and it is well known that Mr. Nixon would accept the nom ination under no other condition than that winch he accepted the leadrship of the organization, that is. that a policy ol honesty and decency be ad- >erv noruTirwth'tbo w?

It is stated that a numebr of Long Island dairymen are compelled to wash their cows twice a day with a mixture oi carbolic acid and crude oil. Gossip has it that the gubernatorial bee is buzzing in the bonnet of ex- Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff. Mr. Woodruff is not con sider a man of extraordinary capaci ty, yet there is no limit to his ambi tions. It will be remembered that he greatly desired the republican nomi nation for vice president at the Phil adelphia convention. He has been a standing candidate for the United States senate. The merchant who has a store on the line of the subway these days is considered an unlucky man. It is es mated that property owners and mer chants here on one street alone, the boulevard, which has been in chaotic state for over a year on account of the tunnel building, have suffered losses at the rate of nearly $1,000,000 a year. Hundreds of houses have been vacated on account of the noise and danger of blasting, the street in places is al most impassable and is avoided by ev ery one who can take another, so that the building of the tunnel here is proving a rather heroic treatment of the transportation ills. Archery, the sport so reminiscent of "Merrie England" and Robin Hood and Maid Marian, threatens to be come' very popular here. An archery club, to be known as a sort of annex to the Huntington Manor Golf club, with an initial membership if seven teen women and men has been formed. The club colors are Lincoln green and on field days the women will ap pear in skirts of that color and the men in shooting coats of the same shade. New York probably has the larg est list of depositors in savings hanks of any city in the country. Of the 2,250,000 people in the state who put their money in savings hanks, 1,500,- -000 are in New Y r ork. Bankers are authority for the statement that since July 1, however, the withdrawal of de posits has been larger than for many years. One reason for this is said to be the number of strikes that have been on this summer; another is that the low price of storks has tempted many depositors to take their money from saving banks where they can get only 3 or 3% per cent and put it into dividend paying securities. In the near future a seven story business house will stand on the site of the present "Boss"' Tweed home on Madison evenue, which is one of the most famous residences in the : city. The property has just been sold !to a realty company. It was from this old mansion that Tweed, disguised with wis and gold spectacles, escaped in IS7S while officers with warrants i for his arrest were watching the ; house. Tweed let himself down from | one of the rear windows and made j his way to Florida. In Spain he was j recognized from one of Xast's car -1 toons. THE EVENING STATESMAN, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1903. *I^Pfl :o harmonize warring factions In ihe committee and shake it from its leth argy as a campaign factor. Mr. Bruce s a lawyer with offices in Wall street. He has done valuable service to the republican party as a campaign sp< aker and has been regarded as one of the best orators on the stump. In these days of demoralization in security prices it would appear that investors and capitalists who are fearful of the security outlook might turn their attention profitably to the hippopotamus market. Miss Murphy, the big hippopotamus in Central park has just added a baby hippo to the menagerie, her eighth contribution to the hippopotamus -vorid and as a full grown hippo is worth $5,060, an in vestment in Miss .Murphy a few years ago would have netted large returns. WIFE ON THE STAND. Mrs. Douglass Accuses Her Husband of Cruelty. Seattle. —The attorneys in the Douglass divorce case, on trial before Judge Tallman, consumed Thursday morning in wrangling over the admis sion of the deposition of Rev. Hugh W. Gilchrist, who testifies that Mrs. Douglass admitted ito him infidelity. The defense argued that it should not be admitted as testimony because it had been confided to the pastor in his professional capacity, and was there fore of a privileged character. Judge Tallman ended the controversy by ad mitting only that part of the deposi tion which related to the conversation in Mr. Gilchrist's room between him self and Mr. and Mrs. Douglass. Mrs. Harriet Douglass, mother of the plaintiff also occupied the stand for a short time. She alleged that she personally knew of the unseemly con duct on the part of her daughter-in law, and testified as to her own will ingness to care for her grandchildren, should they be awarded to the care of their father. The defendant, Mrs. Mabel Doug lass, took the stand in the afternoon. On cross-examination, the attorney for the defense brought out the fact of the partial deafness of Mrs. Doug lass, to which her attorney stated he intended to prove that she misunder stood the question of Rev. Mr. Gil christ when he asked if she was guilty of improper conduct, and had icriminated herself unknowingly. Mrs. Douglass also testified that her husband had supplied her with practi cally no clothing since their resi dence in Seatle, and that she had ben compelled to appeal to her mother Her husband, she said, allowed his wife no money for car fare or other necessities, except with the greatest reluctance, and he permitted the rain to pour on her bed a week before re pairing the roof. The defendant then denied the harges against her. She denied that she had at the time made a confession to either her husband or Mr. Gilchrist, and stated that her words. "Oh, if I hadn't told you!" expressed only re gret that she had admitted to her litis band writing certain letters, and for which admission, she says, he threw her to the ground and choked her.

OA9TORIA. c<ea-g th« /» MRtj Yfiri Raw (thttyS tail EXPERIMENTS IN HOG RAISING. R. C. Judson Offers Some Startling Figures. A Colfax dispatch says: Efforts to encourage the hog indus try and other methods of diversified iarming are being made by Col. R. C. Judson. industrial agent of the Oregon Lailroad & Navigation company, who is now here in the interest of the cold storage plant which Colfax citizens are job to erect. Mr. Judson is enthu siastic in advocating a diversity of .arm proudcts and while here gave out a statement which he said should ,3 in the hands of every farmer who s interested iv bettering the condi tion of the country. He declared that eastern Washing* on and Oregon are natural fields for 'he production of pork and that it an he produced at a cost less than hat in the corn-growing states. He idvocated experiments along the line >f hog feeding, and gave a number of nstances of pork brought to his notice while at work in the various sections >f the Inland Empire, through which he is constantly traveling. He gave out the following statement on this subject: "Kiddle Bros., the extensive live stock shippers and feeders of Island City, Or., are now feeding about 2000 bead of hogs, and Mr. Kiddle says they are producing one pound of pork with three pounds of wheat. W: 3 hogs ai 6 cents per pound. live weight, vlr. Kiddle says they get $1.10 a bushel tor their wheat when fed to hogs. They now have 480 head of hogs weighing from 230 to 300 pounds each, and 150 pigs running in a field of five acres of alfalfa. They feed these hogs a small amount of millfeed and have a lot of them constantly ready for market. They have had this number >f hogs and pigs in this small field since April 1, yet will cut three tons of hay per acre from the field. A new lot of hogs are put in the field when one lot is shipped out. This firm ships to both Portland and Omaha. "Maj. Townley, of Union. Or., who is an extensive Shorthorn breeder and grain farmer, says that he has been making a series of experiments during the past winter in feeding hogs and has been able to produce one pound of pork from three pounds of wheat, and that at the present price of pork he '■an realize from $1 to $1.10 per bushel for his wheat when fed to hogs. In some of the tests made a pound of pork was produced with less than three pounds of wheat fed. He now has on hand about 2300 bushels of last year's wheat, which he expects to market by feeding to hogs and selling the hogs. "Prof. H. T. French, of the Univer sity of Idaho, who was formerly pro fessor of agriculture in the Oregon agricultural college, told me that he made a number of tests and experi ments while with the latter institu tion, and found that he could produce a pound of pork with three pounds of wheat fed to hogs. It seems to me that when such good authority as these men say this can be done it will pay the farmers of the Palouse coun try to investigate and see if they can not improve on their present methods and produce more pork, for the de mand in the Northwest is constantly increasing at a more rapid rate than is the production of this necessary staple." Mormons Celebrate 50th Anniversary. Salt Lake, July 24.—The 50th anni versary of the entry of the Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake valley was celebrated today by the dedication of Pioneer park on the site of the origi nal camping ground of Bri'gham Young's vanguard. SHORT IN ACCOUNTS. Baker City,Or. —About a week ago the traveling auditor of the O. R. & N. came to Baker City and checked up the accounts of tue station. It was known at the start that Cashier George W. Breaw was short, and he was dismissed from the service of the company, although he assisted the auditor in checking the station. Two or three days ago Mr. Breaw left the city, and yet there is nothing to show that he went away on account of his shortage. The exact amount of the shortage is not known, but it understood to be less than $200. al though Agent Hallock does not care ;o talk about the matter until the return of Sheriff Brown, who went in search of the young man. Breaw was bonded by the Guaranty company. Clip out the Business College cou pons in the Statesman. Wisconsin Catholics Organize.
