"The Holy City To Furnish Scottish Rite Cathedral. Now that the work of plastering and finishing the Inside of the Cathedral of the Scottish Rite Masons has been com menced, the committee in charge of the furnishing of the building Is beginning to order furniture. This is going to be a somewhat extensive Job, and is being taken in hand and disposed of by de grees, as it Is too extensive and expensive a matter to be undertaken at once. Probably the first thing to arrive will be a $10,000 organ, exhibited by the Aeolian Company at the Pan-American Exposi tion, which has been ordered, and Is to be shipped about January L Residents in the vicinity of the cathedral will mis take the deep roar of its double bass for thunder, and the reverberations from the music will turn all the milk within a mile Into bonnyclabber. A number of the- most magnificent electroliers obtainable have been ordered through the Portland; Gas Company from the Eastern manu facturers, the cost of which will run away up to considerably over $10,000. For the seating of the auditorium 350 balcony chairs of the latest and most approved style were ordered yesterday by P. S. Malcolm. No expense Is to be spared In furnishing the cathedral so thai the in terior shall compare well In beauty and grandeur with the exterior of the build ing, which when completed will be one of the eights" of Portland. Seventh-Street Improvement. Sev enth street is being Improved, though the visible signs of it look like anything but improvement. The concrete has been put down between Taylor and Yamhill, and the block between Alder and Morrison will be finished, so far as the foundation goes, in three days. The contractor says the rain has seriously delayed the work; and In some cases has undone what had been supposedly completed. For the asphalt coating dry weather is absolutely es sential, and the contractors sleep with one eye on the clouds and spend the day reading the weather reports and figuring out the probabilities of error. Several people have cast aspersions on the 'qual ity of concrete used, but explanations go that some defects were due ''to the mud and rain. In two or three places it had to be relald in part Until good weather comes the citizens that live above Seventh must bear with the in conveniences of mud and water and com fort their eouls with thoughts of the "nice, shiny pavement that will be there next year. ' Mining Men Too Much for Him. A reporter whose duties require him to be 'out late at night was rather surprised when going home yesterday morning about 2 o'clock to fall in with a very respectable citizen on his way home. He looked as if he had been fooling with the flowing bowl. He said ho had been talking business to half a dozen mining "men from the borderland between Ore gon and Idaho, and had made a deal with them about a piece of mining property. "Those men from elevated regions are great drinkers," said he. "I tried to keep eoberby taking mineral water and cigars occasionally till I drank all the mineral water of all "kinds In the cafe, and had all my pockets filled with cigars, imt I had to drink occasionally, and in the end began to feel boozy. I had 47 cigars In my pockets and smoked a dozen, besides handing cigars all around many times. I believe each of those men took over 100 drinks, and they were not in the least phased and did not want to go home till morning, but I knew my wife would be uneasy, so I came away." Interest in Oregon. H. C. Allen, city passenger and ticket agent for the Nickel Plate Road, at Erie, Pa., was In Port land Monday, and called at the Cham ber of Commerce. He said In the course of his conversation that there was a great deal of inquiry going on In Penn sylvania about Oregon, and that he was constantly in receipt of letters asking for information about this state. He was given 2000 pamphlets on the resources of Oregon and 1000 Lrewls and Clark leaflets, and he promised to see that these were distributed among the prospective mov; ers in his ' section of the country. He strongly advised the chamber to do some advertising in Pennsylvania, and the ad vertising committee has a plan under advisement or the distribution of Ore gon literature throughout Middle Atlantic States. This Man a Long Time Gone. A letter has been received by Auditor Devlin from Eusebo Chagnon, of Biddeford, Me., ask ing for Information as to the whereabouts of her'brother Aldolph, or Alfred Chagnon, who left home 50 .years ago and' intended to return In 1S76, but has not been heard from since he left The only Information received by his relatives In regard to him was seen In a newspaper that a man by the name of Aldolph Jason was drowned In April, 1876, and as the missing brother has not been heard of since it is not known but that he was the man drowned. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Mr. .Chagnon, dead or alive, or of the man drowned, Is asked to Inform Miss Chagnon at once. -Dentai, Examinations End Today. The examinations given by the State isoara or uentai examiners nas taken a longer time than was expected, and will not be completed before this afternoon. The work is .going on smoothly and the applicants seem to be well satisfied with the questions that are asked. Today Dr. Beattle, of Oregon City, will examine the class in operative dentistry, and this 'will complete the examinations. This after noon the board will meet and compare notes, and this evening a list of the suc cessful applicants will be given out. To Appoint Livestock Delegate. -Countj' Judge Webster has received a let ter from C. F. Martin, secretary of the National Livestock Association, request lng him to appoint a delegate to attend the sixth annual meeting of the associa lion, which will be held at Kansas City on January 13, 14, 15 and 16. Judge "Web- iter states that he will appoint some good livestock man who desires- to go. He must pay his own expenses, as the county has no livestock fund to draw upon. Ladt Finger Appl.es Arrive. The pretty little rosy-cheeked apples called Lady Fingers, which are so much In de mand at Christmas time for decorating Christmas trees, etc., are now coming Into market. Like many other varieties of apples they are not so handsome this year as usual, not haying such red cheeks or glossy skins, and many of them are rusty and scabby, which will lessen the demand for them, as they sold principally on their good looka r "Will.

Fourth-Street Paving to Be Com pleted. The work of improving the right of way of the Southern Pacific Company on Fourth street Is rapidly Hear ing completion. . All the work remaining to be done is the paving of the right of way with wood blocks for a little over a block, and a full lorce of men are at work on this. The City & Suburban Railroad Company has completed the Improvements to Its line on Third street, and Is push ing the improvement on Morrison street as rapidly as possible. The public watches the progress of the work with patience, but all will be glad when, this street, one of the busiest .in town, is cleared of the rows of empty -cement' barrels which mark the improvement, and is open and free to traffic again. The various com panies making such Improvements have used all possible diligence and have got through with the work much faster than was expected, but the long-continued stormy weather has caused much delay, which was unavoidable. It is to be hoped that when another such mass of work is undertaken by any railway company aome more favorable season will be chosen to do it In. - Freshet Tests Sewers. The large sewers which carry away the water from the canyons west of the city, as the Johnson Creek, Balch Creek and Marquam Gulch sewers, have this season success fully withstood the severest test they have ever been put to, and have escaped so far without Injury. They were all put in good order before the rains commenced, the gulches cleared of drift and rubbish as far as practicable, and the channels of the creeks, paved at the entrance to the sewers to prevent small stones and gravel from being washed into them. Monday and Monday night the volume of water flowing into these sewers was greater than was ever known before. William Braden and his force were out In the rain a great part of the day and night watching to prevent obstruction of the sewers, and were out again before it was light yes terday morning, but the precautions taken to prevent damage to the sewers appear to have been effective, and the usual ex penditure for repairs to these big sewers is not likely to be necessary. Cutting Down Shade Trees. The march of improvement has done away with nearly all the shade trees" In the business part of the city and from the residence districts, especially- the older settled ones, the trees are rapidly disap pearing. Their absence in most cases greatly Improves the appearance of the streets. At the corner of Front and Couch streets, where seven large poplars were recently cut down, the building so long overshadowed by them has been painted and places of business have been started there, and a sound sidewalk has taken the place of the old decayed one, to the great Improvement of the neighbor hood. On the East Side there has not been such extensive removal of trees, but the work has been started, and one man has contracted for the removal of 15 pop lars from his lot and the street in front. of which five are over 100 feet tall. It Js time they were gone. Royal. Arcanum Elects Officers. Last evening Multnomah Council, Royal Arcanum, had an unusually fine meet lng. Three new members were initiated and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Regent, A. M. Ells worth; vice-regent, E. C. Bronaugh; or ator, K. Evans; secretary, J. E. Bro naugh; treasurer. E. C. Mears; .collector, C. H. Gilbert; Chaplain. H. M. Carlock; guide, J. E. Lewton; trustee for three years, F. Dayton; warden, W. E. Pot ter; sentry. D. G. Woodward. The fol lowing resolution was, on motion of George W. Hazen, enthusiastically adopt ed: "Resolved, That this council has been highly honored by the appointment of one of its past regents, the Hon. John Bar rett, to be Minister to Japan; that -we extend to him our congratulations and wish him all honor and success. Fine Oregon Mutton. Englishmen pride themselves on their Southdown mutton, which their epicures pronounce the finest in the world. If the South down sheep are any larger or any fatter than some seen hanging In front of a Portland market yesterday, which were raised by R. Scott, of Mllwaukle, the epi cures who have to eat them are to be pitied. 'The dressed carcasses weighed about 140 pounds each, and appeared to be mostly tallow. As they were raised and fattened on Oregon grass, clover, etc., there could of course be no better flavored mutton produced anywhere. To Formulate Plans.

OLD FGGTE KNEW. Experience Teaches People. "My parents considered coffee simply a harmless beverage for old and young, so when a mere baby I commenced to drink It, and when I reached womanhood, found myself truobled with nervousness, head ache and an Irritable temper and to ob tain relief I drank more and more cof fee, thus adding fuel to the fire. . "I grew worse until life was one black night of pain. My nerves were shat tered, body wrecked with suffering, my stomach gave out and utterly refused to digest tho most simple foods, and finally I lay for weeks starving and longing for food, but unable to eat more than just enough to keep me alive. "While In this state, my next door neighbor brought in a fragrant cup that I supposed was some new grade of cof fee, and, although I had suffered so ter ribly from its effects, the temptation was too strong" to resist, and I "drank it with reiisn. i noucea it naa a rich, agree able taste, and I drank it without dls tress. She repeated the kindness two or three mornings. "I began to congratulate myself that It was not -coffee that hurt me after all. I was assuring my friend of this one day when she astonished me by saying that I was not drinking coffee, but a pure food drink called Postum Food Coffee, made from nourishing grain for building up the system and nerves Instead of tear ing them down. "I then began to -drink Postum regu larly, and to get well slowly but surely. Today I am a strong, hearty woman; my nervous system Is entirely rebuilt, and with a reserve force of strength In time of need; l sleep wen ana awake re freshed and feel bright foreach day's task, with no Indigestion or stomach trouble, and a good, strong active brain ready for any mental strain or. toll. There Is no doubt on earth that coffee nearly killed me. "A friend of mine was obliged to re sign her position as school teacher, be cause of extreme nervousness caused by coffee drinking. I Induced her to use Postum ill place of coffee, and at the end of four months she began teaching again, her nervousness gone and feeling and looking 10 years .younger; her sallow pnmnloTlnn havlnp huMimfl a. hpnntlful healthv bloom." Name Riven by Postum 1 Co., Battle. Creek. Mich. I AT THE THEATRES Symphony Concert. Overture, "Egmont" Beethoven "In Autumn" Tschalkowaky Etude, "Erolca" , Liszt Etude. Op. 25, No. 9 Chopin "Berceuse" ................... Chopin "Allegro de. Concert" Chopin Prelude and Fugue In A Flat Bach Etude In E Flat Rubinstein Miss Sawyers. Intermezzo from "Xaila" Dellbes Symphony in D Major Mozart Adagio-Allegro, Andante, Finale-Presto. "Rarely has the Portland Symphony Or chestra given a more able concert, from a true musical sense, than the one given last night at the Marquam Theater. The large audience was quick to recognize this fact, for the programme appealed to them and they gave encores to two' orchestra numbers. Mr. E. E. Coursen was happy In choosing the kind of music he presented, and he conducted with dignity and author Ity. Possibly the most ambitious number played by the orchestra was Mozart's "Symphony In D Major," adagio, allegro, andante and finale-presto. The .opening movement's grand and Inspiring, and in the andante the strings have a lovely mel ody to work to a dainty, soft finish. The finale is not so strong as one would natur ally expect after getting charmed with such a pleasing Introduction.11 Mr. Coursen gave a strict, scholarly r.eadlng to Beetho ven's "Egmont" overture, but as an open ing piece the overture did not shine. The tone quality is so odd. To .hear Tschai kowsky's "In Autumn" was an unalloyed delight. It opened with a woodland mel ody, plaintive- yet not sad, with plenty of rich, warm color, and the finish was as dainty as could be, mostly sustained by 'cellos. The orchestral playing, particu larly among the first violins, was excellent In this number, and it is little wonder the audience encored it. The favorite number was Dellbes' intermezzo from "Nalla," and it is the- daintiest, the most fairy-like bit of gay music that has been heard in this city for many moons. The orchestra scored a distinct success here. The soloist was Miss Elizabeth Patterson Sawyers, planiste, who, although she has played at one or two of our musical events, really made her debut In Portland last night. She gave forth the message of music In beauty and reverence, and certainly she excelled with her splendid technique, her fine phrasing and enthusi asm. Liszt's difficult "Erolca" number was brilliantly played, and left nothing to be desired. Real poetic interpretation was shown In the Chopin etude. Op. 25, No. 9. Miss Sawyer easily overcame great tech nical difficulties in the long-drawn-out Chopin's; "Allegro de Concept," but her best number was Rubinstein's famous "Etude In A Flat." She was an artist to her finger tips In this number, and it is no wonder she received a hearty encore. She graciouqly responded with a gay little piece, "Enfants du Bal" (Westerhout). Miss Sawyers holds the degrees of Mus. Bac. and A. C. M. from the American College of Musicians. ' At the Baker. One of the greatest productions ever at tempted by a stock company will be pre sented at the Baker Theater all next -week. starting with Sunday matinee, when the Neill stock company will produce the great military play by Lee Arthur, "We-uns of Tennessee." This piece is conceded to be one of tho best military plays ever oro duced in this country, and has achieved a magnificent success wherever it has been presented. The Neill stock company will give a performance of "We-uns of Tennes see" that will be perfect in every partic ular, and the business at the Baker all tne weok will be ud to the usual stand ard of crowded houses at every perform ance. C09IIXG ATTRACTIONS. Jefferson Toniarht. Thomas Jefferson. as "R1d "Van Winkle," will begin an engagement "of two nignts at the Marquam Grand The ater tonight. The advance sale of seats nas been extraordinarily heavy, having been on sale for two days. The crowd no doubt will be a big one, as the name of Jefferson is a trade-mark that generally fills the house, especially when he is to present "Rip Van Winkle.' Nearly every man, woman and child is familiar with his charming fable of the Cats kill Moun tains and the Village of Failing Water, situated on the banks of the grand old Hudson River, long ago, when the Dutch held title to those lordly shores. Mr. Jefferson's performance of the happy-go- lucky "Rip" is simply delightful. He won the hearts of Portland people when here a year ago, and is sure of a hearty welcome this time.

Un The sale of seats for Norman Howard Bartletfs celebrated society lecture, "To Hell in a Pullman," opens at the Marquam Grand boxofflce this morning. It is long time since the Portland public has had the opportunity of hearing a speaker of the ability of Mr. Bartlett, and those whoHexpect an Intellectual treat will not be disappointed. The lecture is pronounced one of the gems of tne lecture world Both press and pulpit are unanimous in their encomiums. There has already been a large demand for seats, and the probabilities are that the gifted speaker will be greeted by large audience. Many who were unable to hear Mr. Bartlett at the Elks' memor lal service Sunday will be glad of the op portunlty to hear him in a lecture that has brought him wide fame. The lecture will be delivered Friday night at the Marquam Grand Theater. In reference to this lecture and the speaker the following press clippings may be of Interest: Norman Howard Bartletfs lecture Hynaicate Han, Wednesday evening, en titled "To "Hell in a Pullman," was masterly effort. Eloquent, dramatic and pathetic, it held the audience spell-bound throughout. It -is not often one has the opportunity to listen to such a -scholarly, nollshed orator as Is Mr. Bartlett. Few i tatform speakers equal hlm in so 'many dints of excellent. Tracy Trumpet, At the Agricultural College last night Norman Howard Bartlett appeared as the fourth attraction in the University lec ture course. Mr. Bartletfs subject was To Hell in a Pullman." a satire' on the prevailing shams of society. Over 500 students were present, and they were unanimous in pronouncing the lecture one of the star features of the course. As an orator Mr. Bartlett Is regarded as one of the most able, speakers of the Northwest The Times, Minneapolis. WOMEN IN INDIA. Dr. Temple Dachesne Lectures an Their Place In Hindoo Religion. Dr. Temple Duchesne lectured last night at the A. O. U. W. Hall on "Woman's Place in the Hindoo Religion." The theme of the address was to illustrate the fact that every country has Its own Ideals of religion and morality, and that the Hin doos should not be unjustly Judged by foreigners. The condition .of women In India has been obtained from the reports of mission aries who come in contact with the lower classes only," said Dr. Duchesne. "The "Ve- das, the sacred book, was largely written by women, for at that time they held the same privileges as men. The Mohamme dan invasion centuries ago necessitated changes in the customs for protection of the women and children, and, though these have lost their application, they have ever since continued. Both the "Vedas and the political law gave women more rights than she now enjoys In America. The child marriages In the southern provinces are also due to the old invasion, for the young girls needed protection from the Invaders. They were never sanctioned by the higher classes, and are gradually dying out. "The men In India are more intel lectual than the women. The biblical eon- opntlon of woman's Dlace has stood In the way of her development. In America, to day, woman is the intellectual and relig ious Inferior." Ih closing. Dr. Duchesne said: "It is entirely unjust to Judge those 'of a differ ent standard of morals by your cgvn par ticular standard." PROFESSOR TO LECTURE. Edward B. Warman, of-Chicago, to Be Heard In Portland. Five Intellectual treats are in store for those who hear Professor Edward B, Warman, of Chicago, at Taylor-Street M, L Church this week and next.
