Accused of riding his bicycle without dis playing a lighted lamp, F. Platner was before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday and pleaded that he did not know the of fense complained of was against the law. "How long have you been riding a bi cycle?" asked Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. "Since last May." "Surely you have seen people with lighted lamps on their bicycles at night?" persisted the lawyer. "Yes, but I thought the lamps were only for the safety of the wheel men," replied Platner. "Do you ever read the" newspapers?" "Only the Ger man newspapers. Let me off this time, and I'll carry a lamp in future," rer marked Platner. He was fined $2. Raspberries in December. A long branch of. a raspberry bush, bearing sev eral dozen berries in every stage, from tiny green ones to large red, ripe ones, fairly well flavored and tempting in ap pearance, was brought to The Oregonlan office yesterday afternoon by G. Mat thews, of 68 .East Seventh street, while the snowflakes were gently sifting down and melting on the sidewalks. This sort of thing is nothing new here, but It does not happen often outside of Oregon. Ripe strawberries and raspberries and roses and many other flowers in bloom in the middle of December astonish strangers visiting Portland, but are scarcely noticed by residents, as this Is the general rule nine years out of 10. - Potatoes Lower in Price. Those who did not sell their potatoes when dealers were paying 85 cents per sack for them are now sorry, as dealers say they have been paying too much, and offer only CO to 65 cents per sack. There is little demand for potatoes Jn San Francisco now, and they have enough there to last till after the holidays. A commission man who has been working around In San Francisco says they have but few potatoes there and fewer eggs, and that butter like Albany creamery butter is not to be found there. The best they have comes from dairies up the Coas and is about the same as Tillamook but ter here. Wasted Good Material. A young man who sometimes Imbibes at a saloon where whisky Is handed out In a silver teapot and called "cold tea" recently bought a rather expensive meerschaum pipe. The dealer told him that the coloring of the pipe would be helped if he would pour cold lea ' Into It once ' In a while; The owier of the pipe only knew of one kind of cord tea. He used this with such fre quency that the pipe began to swell, and kept on swelling till It all went to pieces. Now the question Is, Who shall stand the loss of the pipe the buyer or seller? They -would both like to make the whisky man with the silver teapot pay the bill. German Methodists to Meet. The pastors and members of the German Meth odist and other churches In Portland and vicinity will hold a mass meeting in the German M. E. Church, corner Fifteenth and Hoyt streets, at 8 o'clock this even ing, with the object of discussing the deaconess .cause and the' possibility of founding a deaconess home" in Portland. Rev. H. F. Lange," of Connell, Wash., will present the object of such an Insti tution, and it is hoped that the meeting will take definite .steps toward raising money for that purpose. All interested in such a movement are invited to attend. Concrete Walks on Fifth Street. The City Engineer force of surveyors were, setting stakes at Fifth and Jefferson streets yesterday for the guidance of the contractors who are laying concrete side-' walks on Fifth street. They are going up to Jefferson street,' which is the south ern limit of the cement-sidewalk district, to work downhill, and so get along faster. It will not be long till there are cement walks on Fifth street clear up to Jeffer son, which will be a great Improvement to that thoroughfare. Street Holes Filled. The large and deep holes in the pavement on Morrison street, at the Intersection of Third, where women used to get their feet wet in cross ing, will offend no more. They were filled with asphalt yesterday. One of the ad vantages of an asphalt pavement is that when holes are worn in it they can be repaired and the pavement made as good as new without much trouble. The won der is that such repairs are so seldom made. No Trouble to Find a Saloon. There is but little probability that any liquor drinker who can raise the money to pay for a drink will need to go thirsty in Portland. There are 311 liquor licenses out. About half a dozen of these are for wholesalers, a few more for restaurants, live tor groceries, nve lor colored men and 11 for Chinese; so that all classes are provided for, and no one need go dry.- Oriental Rugs and Khilems. There is now on exhibition In Portland the l'arg' est assortment of high-class antique Per sian rugs in the West, Connoisseurs and all interested in these wonderful fabrics will have an opportunity for only a few days more to inspect and make selections from this valuable collection. 345 Wash ington street, .near Seventh.

They is good. I think I like to send in a 12. Pleze let here from ue at wontz." The writer Is not perfect in his spelling, but he gets there all the same, and his mean ing cannot be mistaken.. Satisfied With the Jail. James Mc Donald, the veteran bad bill collector, who was arrested charged with trespass on the complaint of James Garner, the owner of an East Side scow, did not offer to raise the necessary $100 ball yesterday, and he remained In the County JaiL His case will be heard Friday, before Justice of the Peace Reid.

The drawing-rooms of Portland can now in reality bring back the true spirit and semblance of the real old New England Christmas. The "Driftwood Blaze." cele brated In poetic song by Longfellow? is here and we can all burn it in our hearths. The open fireplace at eventide wilt" now Irradiate the many-hued dissolving tints that wrought their charm around every New Enfflnnd firpslrlp nn tVio TnccnViii setts Coaet 50 years ago. That was the"! time or many wrecks, and the hearths were replenished by the driftwood from the foundered ships. It. was cured and saturated with the corrosion from the copper 'sheathing, nails and rivets, and when claced on the fire flamed into all the colors of the rainbow. In the mil lionaire's mansion of New To'rk they haye paid fabulous sums many a lime to get some of this driftwood. Lately Yankee In genuity has devised a wonderful powder, composed of the same Ingredients that produced the beautiful lights of the old driftwood. Put some of this powder in a good-sized pepper box ohaker. Sprinkle it qver the too of the burning logs. It im mediately melts, forms a crust upon the lbsrs. becomes a oart of tho loirs send ing out tha loveliest hues and neavenly commnauons or color all the while until the fire. at length dies down after the logs are consumed. The powder Is called "Driftwood Blaze." One sprinkling fixes the log so that it will burn In colors until it is entirely consumed. The "Drift" does not hurry the fire at all it makes It last a little longer. It ia the most poetic and beautiful thing that is put on sale this Christmas. The shakers and the "Drift" are on exhibition in our windows. $1 50 buys enough for 50 whole evenings of bril liantly scintillating paradise on earth. Anyone who gets "Driftwood Blaze" will be using Just what Whitney and Carnegie and the rest of them are using to make Christmas and home look complete. THE JOHN BARRETT CO., Established 1868.

American Minstrels.' Primrose and Dockstader at the Mar quam last evening bcdlmmed the recollec tion of rother minstrels of the recent past Into the seeming of 20 cents. True to the leading traditions of old-time minstrelsy, they delighted the eye and the ear from beginning to end of the performance with novel scenery and tableaux, new songs by splendid voices, brand-new jokes and sur prising specialties. ' The show Is straight, legitimate, satis fying minstrelsy, all performers black face, no powdered wigs, no chestnuts, no questionable Jokes, nothing that jars. The stage setting of the opening scene is a beautiful 'picture, and the tableaux at Its conclusion following the fine song by Mr. Hallett, "The Old Flag That Never Touched the Ground," Is very effective. Messrs. George Primrose and Lew Dock stader are so well known to "everybody that it Is not necessary to describe their entertaining qualities. In his "character and scenic creation," the "Sunny, Sunny South," Mr. Primrose demonstrated the perennial excellence of his dancing. Intro ducing his pupils,' a couple of sprightly lads, who later gave an exhibition of double clog dancing that made one willing to accept Mr. Primrose's statement that they are the best In the country. Mr. Dockstader also had a little special ly wherewith he proceeded to convulse the house all by himself. He Introduced the lobster-mobllist, doing stunts on his locomo-koko-mobile, "Mount Pelee." Mr. Docksta'der's local hits were center shots. Neil O'Brien and Eddie Leonard were the jesters of the first -part of the enter tainment, and they are good ones. Leon ard's dancing and his recitative song, "I'm Gwlne to Live Anyhow Until I Die,',' scored with the audience. Mr. O'Brien's creation, "The Doctor's Troubles," was so laughable that one small boy and a fat lady were nearly tickled Into a fit. The Howard brothers, banjolsts, are wonders. Their playing of the overture from "William Tell" was a revelation of the possibilities of the banjo; and their feat of both men playing simultaneously on one instrument .was astonishing. They also gave a very clever imltatlon'of the phonographed music of a band. The tenor soloists, Manuel Romain and James B. Bradley, are of the best. Mr. I Romaln's voice has an exceedingly deli cate and sympathetic quality whichshone all through Jiis fine song, "When Kate and I Were Comln Through the Rye." Mr. Bradley's song, "Down In the Valley, Where the Blue Birds Sing," Is a beauti ful bit of melody. The baritone solo, "The New-Born King," by Gra F. Weller, was Inspiring. Mr. Stanley H. Ford's bass is magnificent In his solo, "The Cellar Is My Lodging Here." The entertainment winds up with a re markable specialty. Two young men, 01 llo Young and brother, show what won derful things can be done with hoops. Their hoops, which are evidently bicycle rims, are made to perform antics as though endowed with living Intelligence. They astonished the audience. The show concludes In Portland with this evening's performance. WHERE TO DINE. "What to eat" solved correctly at the Portland Restaurant, 305 Washington.
