THE MtffiiittfG OBEGOKlAjT., JTHbpfUY, 'APJOL i, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amniements Tonight. CORDRAY'S THEATER Cummlrigs Stock Co. In "Nell Gwynn." "Will Pull for Portland. As dele pates to the National convention of the Travelers' Protective Association, to be held in Richmond, Ta., June 3 to 7, the Oregon and Washington division of the order has decided to send seven delegates, who are instructed to make a strenuous effort to bring the 1902 National convention to Portland. These delegates are: Ex President Alexander Kunz. B. Shelley Morgan, A. N. Smith, president of the Oregon and "Washington division; F. P. King, A. H. Devere, Otto Guthman and 2avid M. Dunne. Four of these delegates attended the last National convention, and made a flcrht to bring -this year's con vention to Portland: Messrs. Kunz, Mor gan, Smith and Devers. The members or the delegation feel confident that this year their endeavors -will meet with .suc cess. They will go fully equipped "With facts and figures, and expect that the session of the Transcontinental Passenger Association, which meets in Monterey, April 17, -will grant a low rate to Port land, to be used In case the local delega tion is successful In bringing the conven tion here. Fitting Up New Stores. One can hardly -pass along any street in the busi ness portion of the city without seeing plies of old lumber where the Interiors of buildings, generally old ones, have been torn out to enlarge and improve store rooms. On Third, near Oak, an oyster- bouse has been torn out to make room for an elegant saloon. There Is no pro vision, so far, for the cigar store which generally accompanies the new saloons. On First, near Alder, the inside of a store room is being torn out in order to enlarge the place . A store-room on First, Just erected by Hale & Kern, contractors, has been fixed up and occupied by an Assyrian or Babylonian, who keeps a stock of goods nid sends out a lot of women to peddle. If they succeed in getting into a bouse they generally sell something before they can be got rid of. One saloon and a cigar store have heen ousted to make room for a shoe store, but there are more saloons and cigar stores being fitted up in many places, some of them more elegant than any of their competitors. To Arrange for the President. Mayor Rowe and the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade, the Commercial Club and the Manufacturers' Association will meet at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, tomorrow morning, at 10:30, for the pur pose of discussing plans for the proper re ception of President McKlnley and his party when they shall visit Portland next month. Whether this committee will act permanently or not Is a question yet to be determined. There is some talk of Us do ing so in addition to four representative citizens, to be selected by themselves. This matter will be discussed at the meeting Friday. Mayor Rowe Intended to wire President McKinley yesterday, asking nlm to devote two days to Port land, one to the city proper, and the oth er to a trip down the Columbia, but, aft er further consideration, concluded to wait until after the committee meeting. It is probable that the entire committee will join In the telegram. Knocked Down bt a Car. Minnie Myers, a 9-year-old girl, had a narrow es cape from being killed, yesterday after noon, at the corner of Fifth and Wash ington streets. The child was running ocross Fifth street, in the face of a blind ing hall storm, as car No. 2S of the Port land Railway Company was going north. Minnie was thrown to the -pavement by contact with the steps of the car, which fortunately was stopped in time to pre vent her being run over. She was taken into the Hotel Perkins, where it was found that no bones were broken, but she' complained of a severe contusion of the spine. The child resides with her par ents, tit Seventh street, near Burnside. She cared less for her injuries than for the effect the accident would have on her mother, and pleaded, "Please, don't tell mamma," Marine Monster. The large and valua ble collection of relics and curios located at the rooms of the local Inspectors of Hulls .and 'Boilers, has been enriched by a wonderful marine monster, captured by Portuguese fishermen on Puget Sound and brought round by Captain Day, Light house Inspector. It somewhat resembles in form a seal or sea lion, but has antlers much resembling those of a deer, and a mouth filled with teeth something like those ot an alligator. It is a genuine rara avis, but nothing like a black swan or any other bird. Since it arrived It has eaten nothing, but Is as lively as ever, and has not fallen off any in flesh. Cap tain Edwards says if it dies he will tan its skin, and if it doesn't he will break it for a polo pony. Where He Can Be Cured. Harry Smith, a cadaverous-lboking opium fiend, was sentenced to SO days In the County Jail, yesterday, by Judge Cameron. He said he -had become a slave to the drug 14 years ago, and could not liberate him self from the habit without help. The Judge told him the County Jail was a good place to get weaned from the stuff, as the prisoner had been there several times before, and always emerged from a long term well and hearty. Smith did not like the Idea of going to jail, however, and begged plteously to be permitted to leave the city. Bdffaix Exhibit Shipped. Seven car loads of Oregon's exhibit at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo were shipped from Portland, Tuesday evening, over the O.B., & N. Two more cans, con taining material for the mining exhibit, will be added to the train at Baker City. Of the cars which left here, three df them contained forestry exhibits, while the oth er four were devoted to agricultural, hor ticultural and mining exhibits. It is ex pected that the entire exhibit will amount to about 12 carloads, and the material for another car is almost ready. Todng BicrctE Thief. William Eaton, a 12-year-old mulatto boy, was placed In charge of the Boys' and Girls Aid So ciety last week, as his mother seemed to have lost control of him. He had stolen a bicycle from the Harrison-street school and -offered it for sale for 15 cents. The tax tag on the wheel belonged to anotfier bicycle that had been stolen, and the rightful owner of this wheel was found yesterday, but the wheel Is still missing. The boy will be brought to the police sta tion today, to tell what he knows of its whereabouts. Pleas of No AvAil. Five hoboes were up before Judge Cameron yesterday, ac cused of trespass. They had obtained a can of beer, and all got drunk In a vacant building on Front street, near Everett. Two professional cripples were In the gang, and these begged to be let off, promising fervently to leave town In stantly, but the Judge had beard these promises before, and so fined three of them $50 each, with the alternative of 25 days each In the -County Jail. The cases t)f the other two will be further investi gated today. Fish at $5 Apiece. Daniel Sully, the actor, eays he hurried through his per formance, Saturday night, in order to spend "Sunday fishing in the waters near Skamokawa. He took eight of his com pany along and fished all day, but the whole crowd caught only five fish. "The l fish are there, though," Mr. Sully said, at the Portland, last evening, "but we didn't seem to have the proper combina tion. What we caught cost us about ?5 apiece." Intending builders and contractors: I carry in stock a complete line of hard ware, paints, oils, pumps, pipe and well points. J. H. Johannsen, Seaside. Or.

"The HislviTnyman" at Mnrttoam To night "Jfell Gtrrnn at Cordray's. "The Highwayman," DeKoven & Smith's masterpiece, will be presented at the Marquam tonight, Friday, and Sat urday nights, with a special matinee Saturday at 2:15. No comic opera that has been produced In years has received the praise that has been bestowed on this excellent work, and theatergoers are to be congratulated on being given this oppor tunity to witness It. The opera enjoyed a run of over 200 nights at the Broadway Theater, New York, and has been justly styled a legitimate comic opera. The com pany presenting DeKoven & Smith's latest and best work, contains In Its roster the names of several artists well known throughout the country, chief among whom may be mentioned the clever and beautiful Katherlne Germaine. She pos sesses a beautiful face, a queenly figure, and a fine voice, besides which she Is the happy possessor of histrionic ability of high order. Another name almost as well known to operagoers, Is Edmund Stanley. Mr. Stanley was for eight years connected with the De Wolf Hopper Opera Company. H. W. TreDenlck. at the time of the original presentation of "The High wayman" In New York, was offered the position of the leading commedlan to play the part of Foxy Qulller, but he accepted another engagement.

Others among the present members of the organi zation are Miss Addle Sharp, Miss Helen Ralnsley, Miss1 Catherine Campbell, Mr. W. H. Thompson, Mr. S. H. Forde, Mr. Charles Cantor, W. H. Gerard, Mr. John Reade, and Miss Bonnie May. SOUVENIR PERFORMANCE. Cnmmlng's Company Will play "Nell Gtvynn" for the lOOtli Time. No company that has appeared here recently has made so pleasant, and what promises to be a lasting Impression, as the Ralph E. Cummlngs Company, now playing at Cordray's. No play In recent - 111'" y ' : ": "- ?$ ; '-v , $ ", " S&$ Nelson Hall as Nell Gynn. years has created such a furor In New York as "Nell Gwynn." Ada Rehan and Henrietta Crossman, both rivals, and each playing different versions, and both play ing to capacity of Wallack's & Daly's Theaters, New York. For these reasons the announcement that Mr. Cummlngs, (who purchased the Western rights of the play.) and his associates will produce this reigning sensation, "Nell Gwynn," at Cor dray's for three nights, commencing to night, with Saturday matinee, becomes Important, and the fact that tonight will be ladies' souvenir night In commemora. tlon of the 100th performance of the play by this superb company, makes this an opportunity for real pleasure seldom of fered Portland theatergoers. Handsome souvenirs of the occasion will be distrib uted among all the ladles In" the audience. Nell Burgess In "The County Fair." "The County Fair." which, with Neil Burgess himself In his famous character of Abigail Prue, is announced for Monday and Tuesday nights, April 8 and 9, at the Marquam, has a novelty in realism as a climax to Its third act. The trained horse 'Cold Molasses" not only kisses but also caresses his mistress, Abigail Prue, In such a way as to draw unstinted applause from the audience. "The County Fair" is one of those New England farm life pictures, which not only afford wholesome amusement, but also present realistic il lustrations. There Is an exciting horse race, so cleverly done that mechanism is forgottn and as the horses are running across the stage they seem neck and neck. Then there is the barn picture with its corn husking and frolic, singing and dancing, Its bundles of straw and beautiful Alderny cow, complacently cnew. ing her cud, a beautiful picture from start to finish. "The Telephone. Girl" at Cordray's. Looked at from a popular standpoint, "The Telephone Girl," which comes here for a week at Cordray's, commencing Sunday night, April 7th, is a very divert ing affair. Indeed. It is light and frothy, and, as a whole, it .is an exceedingly merry amusement; and fills out an even ing's leisure capitally. The Incidents portrayed and the dialogue Inserted bear upon a subject which Is familiar to nine- tenths of the community, and that, per- OSTEOPATHY SUCCESSFUL. Removes the "Cause" of Disease.

The girls are ranged 'round the switch board, while in the foreground are the desks of the chief operatdr, and the others In charge of the establishment. A great deal is said and done which Is side splitting exaggeration and burlesque of what fakes place in such a placej ,Harry Hermsent as the German , inspector, Is amazingly funny, arid in all he does and says he Is seen at his best. Miss Mabel Hlte, as Estelle, Is Intensely chic. In her singing and specialties she is very clever. The others in the copmany are all ef ficient and fully sustain the claim for ex cellence put forth by the management. Among them are Douglas arid Fofd the dancing wonders, Flora Parker, the dainty comedlerine, Frank Kelly, the Chappelld Sisters, Charles Burrows, Eoulue Iwls, John J. Magee, Bert DeReulle; Inez Dale Nelda Herman, Jean Bernard, and Edith Gibbons. Sale Opens Today. The sale of seats for the Stanton Opera Company opens at 10 o'clock at the Metro politan.

Ever since the recent strike of- the Brewers' Union began, the strikers have been adverse to glvnlg their side of the dispute to the public. They contented themselves with one short statement, which was a rather vague and Indefinite presentation of their grievances, and the public has been compelled to hear mainly the boss brewers' version of the contro versy, which has been willingly given. An Oregonlan reporter tried both yes terday and Tuesday to get a statement from the strikers, but was refused both times by William R. Winter, one of the strikers, who says he Is the representative of the local executive board of San Fran cisco. Mr. Winter seems to be looked upon by the strikers as their leader, but he Is very averse to making any public declaration of his fellow-employes' al leged grievances. Tuesday afternoon Mr. Winter stated that he might come to The Oregonlan office In the evening If he felt like It. Ho did not come, and yesterday the re quest for a statement from the strikers was renewed. Mr. Winter again decllnedi stating that in the course of two or three davs he might prepare one within two or three days "if he felt like It." In the meantime the strike continues, and Is apparently as far from settlement as when It commen ed. CAFE KRATZ OPENED. The Cafe Kratz, 122 Sixth street, corner of Washington, was opened last evening, and hundreds visited the establishment. The decorations, fixtures and lighting were a revelation to the numerous visitors, and It was the universal verdict that it is the neatest and most attractive resort In the Northwest The grand opening will take place next Saturday night. t WHERE TO DINE TODAY.

A letter wag rea,d from H. H. Hart, sec retary of the National Conferencei mak ing suggestions as td the propdr course to be followed to secure the convention. He suggested the propriety of securing a formal invitation from the Governor, the Mayor and the commercial bodies. This should be supplemented, he said, by a statement from the .proprietors of the leading hotels as to what reductions from regular rates they wo'uld make to dele gates. Further than this. Mr. Hart's lat ter suggested the advisability of several leading citizens attending the Washington conference and making an active personal effort to secure the conference. The chairman was authorized to ap point a committee of nine citizens to take the work in charge. He announced that he" would take some time In selecting the committee. The statement was made that the maximum cost to the city for holdln the conference here would not exceed $1SM at the outside. ,. . The conference embraces superintena ents and directors of all the penal, re formatory and charitable institutions of the United States, including Insane asy lums asylums for the blind, deaf ahd dumb, Idiotic and otherwise defective youth arid adults; poorhouses, almshouses, penitentiaries and reform schools.
