"Princess Chic" THE BAKER THEATER Evening at S:15. the Neill Stock Company In "Alabama." CORDRAVS THEATER This evenlnc at 8.15, John Crittenden "Webb's "Sandy Bot tom." Two Superstitious "Women. The bright sunshine and genial temperature brought out the ladles in greater number than usual yesterday, and they -were In evi dence everywhere. One who was riding down town in a car noticed a load of hay coming into town from the west, and men tioned that It was a sign of good luck. Her companion replied that she did not believe there was much In hay. She said she saw three loads a day or two ago when she was on the way to the den tist's, and wondered what good luck was going to happen. She found out when she got Into the dentist's chair, for In trying to pull a tooth he broke off a pivot tooth which cost 510 and nearly broke her neck besides. When they alighted and started down Yamhill street one of them noticed a young pig in a little crate on the sidewalk and exclaimed: "Oh, Isn't it cute." The other said: "I don't see anything cute about It," -and gave It a poke with her umbrella, which she was carrying from force of habit. The little porker leaped against the end of the crate, knocked off a slat, bounced out on the sidewalk and ran between the feet of the one who had admired It, nearly upsetting her, and disappeared down a hatchway Into a basement. At Fourth and Yamhill the two women were stopped by men tearing up a crosswalk. The first plank turned over revealed a tunnel In which was the nest of a rat. "Look In it for money." said one of them. The work men hooked out the nest with his pick ax, but found no coins. "What would rats want with money?" he asked. "Oh, they like to pick up anything bright and shiny," was the reply. "I have seen ?1 50 to $2 taken from a rat's nest." What more the women saw or did In their promenade Is not known. They could not be followed any longer. Spoke With a Bakhed-Wire Voice. The telephone line which connects the water works office at the City Hall with the head works on Bull Run was broken a few days ago by a large tree falling across It a few miles east of Portland. The accident was discovered by a young man -who has worked for the Water Com mittee and who happened to be out In the country at the time. He realized the importance of the line which Is a metallic circuit of two wires being re paired at once, as he knew Bull Run was In flood, and 'the amount of water to be allowed to flow into the city was regulated by telephone. The job of re pairing it. however, seemed beyond him, as several poles were thrown down, the cross arms torn off and the wires broken In several places and entangled in the fallen tree, and he had no wire to use. But he was a resourceful young man, and looking about discovered a barbed wlrt fence near by, and after some trouble succeeded In connecting the ends of the broken telephone line with two. strands of it He was a little dubious as to how this would answer, and on arriving at the next station on the line telephoned to the superintendent at the water works of fice to inform him of what had been done and to ask how It worked. The superintendent at once called up the man in charge at the head works. He had I to call several times before Tie was recog- ! nized, but finally made it understood who he was and what he wanted. The man replied that he heard what was said well enough, but he did not recognize the voice, as It appeared all rough and jag ged, as if it had come through a barbed wire fence. Perhaps the wire has more to do with the efficiency of the tele phone than people Imagine. Only One Bid. Captain Langfitt, Corps of United States Engineers, adver tised some time ago for proposals for the removal of a rock in the rapids at the Cascades of the Columbia, such propos als to be received up to 11 A. M. yester day and then publicly opened. At the time mentioned only on6 proposal had been received. It proved to be from L. Ostberg and August Peterson, who pro posed to remove the rock for 53325, and 52 25 per foot for extra drilling. It was thought singular that no more bids were put In, but It is supposed that rock blasters have so much work on hand that they do not want any more, or some one would have tendered a lower bid. The work to be done consists of remov ing about eight feet of the top of a rock in the rapids opposite the Cascade Locks, which Is submerged except at the lower stages of the river, generally occurring between October and March. The con tractor will be permitted to use drills, hoisting engines and other plant at the Cascade Locks belonging to the Govern ment, but must himself furnish all neces sary additional plant and tools and all materials excepting powder, and he must not obstruct or delay navigation through the locks. Zwei Beer Cost 55. When Casper Henkel was led before Municipal Judge Hoguo yesterday, charged with being drunk. It was noticed that from the lan guace Henkel used that he Is or had been a subject of Emperor William of Germany. "You are charged with being drunk. What do you have to say for yourself?" asked Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. "Zwei beer," answered Hen keL A German Interpreter was secured. and the Judge said: "Tell Henkel that I was calling at the police station when he was brought in, and that I think ho was drunk." Henkel and the interpreter had a long confab, and the interpreter spoke as follows: "He says he could not have stood many more. He says that he had two beers, and that he could not get up after he fell, but that he is sure he was not drunk." The fine was Jo. Mhs. Duniway's Reception Postponed. Owing to the illness of Mrs. A. S. Dunl- way. president of the Woman's Club of Portland, the usual informal reception which she is accustomed to hold at her residence, 402 Market street, on Thurs day afternoons, must be omitted today. The regular meeting of the "Woman's Club will be held Friday at 2 P. M., in the SelUng-HIrsch building. Mrs. S. A. Evans, vice-president, will preside. Mrs. Dunl way is convalescing at the Good Samari tan Hospital. Win, Buy a New Pipe Organ. St Xiawrence Church Is to have a fine new pipe organ at once. This was decided upon by Father Hughes, and he, in com pany with Father Placldus, of Mount Angel, who Is an acknowledged expert on pipe organ construction and musical mat ters, generally spent the major portion of the day yesterday carefully investigating the merits of various pipe organs in this city.

Yesterday was a perfectly lovely day, and was very gen erally accepted as a model of the kind of weather agreeable to Oregonians at this season. Not a trace of frost was to be seen when the sun rose, considerably earlier than of late, making the Increase in the length of the day plainly percepti ble. The bright sunshine and clear atmos phere were very pleasant and enabled a magnificent view of the Cascade Range and the grand old snow peaks to be had along a scope of a hundred miles or more. The snow peaks were spotless white, not a rock or crag protruding, but there was but little snow along the summit of the range except in one section, a short dis tance from Mount Hood. Everybody was congratulating everybody else on the beautiful weather, and expressing hopes that It might continue, but at last a man was found who was not satisfied. He said the buds on his rose bushes and peach trees were swelling rapidly, and his lilac bushes were beginning to put forth leaves, and the weather was just the kind that was always preceded by a long cold spell which would freeze the river over so that teams could be driven across, and then .what would become of his roses and peaches? Such men must make the weather clerk weary of well-doing, ana it need not be wondered at If he turns on the rain faucet and it will be lucky if he does not change the rain to snow. Evidence of Carelessness. Workmen were busy yesterday repairing bad places in the wood-block pavement on the right of way of the Portland Railway Com pany at Washington and Third streets. The pavement has been in use some five years, and is laid on a concrete founda tion, with laths between the rows of blocks. The blocks were not treated with preservative, but In places are sound, while there arc- occasional spots where the blocks are as rotten as punk. The mar who was superintending the repairs when asked to what he attributed the fact that some large patches were decayed while all about them the blocks were sound said it was his opinion that the de cayed blocks were cut from dead timber. The Inspector who had superintendence of the construction of the pavement for the city was not able probably to distinguish between blocks made from live timber and dead Umber. The quality of blocks furnished by the mills should be more carefully looked after. Beggar Goes to Rockpile. A tall, stalwart-looking man. who gave his name as H. Smith when he was arrested for begging on the streets, at first entered a plea of not guilty, and the police were put to the trouble of sending for wit nesses living around Park and Jefferson streets, who saw the man beg. The case came before Municipal Judge Hogue yes terday, and when Smith saw the formid able looking array of witnesses against him he weakened and said: "If you please, sir. I'm guilty." "Smith has caused the police a lot of trouble around Park street near Jefferson." testified Policeman Ewlng. "Usually when we caught him he begged for mercy and pointed to his dis figured face, and when we allowed him to go he promised not to beg any more. One block away he usually resumed his begging habit" Smith will do work for the next 30 days at the rockpile. Twenty Cheeebs Seized. Twenty large, round cheese were seized yesterday by Deputy Commissioner Cutllp at the store of the Portland Produce Exchange Company, for the reason that they were made from skimmed milk and not marked as such according to the laws of Oregon. These cheeses weigh in the neighborhood of 20 pounds apiece, so that the total amount of cheese seized in the lot is about 400 pounds. The law covering such cases Is very explicit and demands that cheese shall be labeled according to the quality of the milk that goes into its make-up, whether it be "full cream, "half- skimmed " "auarter - skimmed. or "skimmed." The 20 cheeses seized yester .day had no marks at all, and were in con sequence seized. They are from the Fair-, view creamery, and the people who made them are subject to a fine ranging from 523 to 5100. Case for Admiral Clakk's Sword. The material for the beautiful case which is to contain the testimonial sword soon to be presented to Rear-Admlral Clark, the famous captain of the battleship Ore gon, has been forwarded to the xnanufac turers In Chlcopee Falls, Mass. isoth Ing but native Oregon woods have en tered into the composition of the case. for the committee Intends that every part of the testimonial should be entirely sym bolic of the state for which the battle ship was named, and therefore bird's eye maple, surly maple and mountain ma hogany have been chosen as representa tive and beautiful materials for such a case as the one designed. Action on Creagh's Protest. Nothing of importance has evolved from the meet ing of the Hunt Club, which was held Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was held to see what was to be done with the complaint of John Creagh, who objected to the treatment he received on the New Year chase. After the meeting was over Creagh was informed that the matter had been settled, and that he would receive a letter In the next mall stating what had been done about his complaint Up till late last night Mr. Creagh had received no letter, and he, as well as other Hunt Club members, are anxiously waiting to see what is going to come of the pro test Houghton Fined 533. Deputy City At torney Fitzgerald labored hard yesterday to try to find out the circumstances in the case in which "Chick" Houghton and Robert Lucas were accused of assault ing J. Gonzols in a First-street saloon theater on the morning of January 4. Maud Merrill and Maud Dolan, two per- formers at the theater, were the only witnesses called, but neither saw any blows struck. Houghton said in defense: "I was drinking and so was Gonzols. A rcw started, and I remember striking him twice." Lucas had no statement to make. The matter ended In Lucas being dis charged, and Houghton being fined 535. Somedodt "Shoving the Queer." It is stated by some of the cashiers around town that in the larger department stores there is a large supply of counterfeit money now in'the city, principally In the shape of bogus dollar pieces. At one store a roll of 520 was handed in over the counter, but the cashier, had had some experience before with "queer" money, and refused to take the lot though they had every appearance of being genuine. People who are accustomed to handling large amounts of silver currency would better be careful not to be fooled by some of this well-appearing coin and be out of pocket thereby. Denib3 He Was Given Monet. Peter More, saloonkeeper, was before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday, charged with larceny by bailee of 5100. December IS, on the complaint of John Nugent The lat ter testified that he visited More's sa loon and gave More 5105 in bills to keep for him, and that More afterward denied that he had received the money. The defendant stated: "Nugent never gave me any money to keep for him. It Is true that he asked me to give him money he said I was keeping for him, and that I told him ho was dreaming." More was held In ball to answer before the grand jury. Rev. Dr. E. I. House will address the Woman's Club tomorrow afternoon on "The Twentieth Century Outlook." The address will bo preceded by five-minute papers on current events by Mrs. Alma A. Rogers, Dr. Edna D. Timms and Mrs. W. Wynn Johnson. Miss Jean Shupp will be the soloist of the afternoon. Pro gramme will begin promptly at 2:45 o'clock. Kennel Club to Meet.

IBS First street They pxe free. Colored Fighters Bound Oveiu Jerry Willlams, Andrew Jackson and Ed Per tullo, alias "Kansas," all colored, were brought before Municipal Judge Hogue yesterday, to tell their versions of the two shooting affrays which took place in Whitechapel New Year's day, when bullets whizzed around each defendant but nobody was hit Jackson Insisted that the two other men and nearly all the colored population of Whitechapel "had it in for him" because he had testi fied for the state In the Gladlssee mur der case. He denied that he Ilred a re volver at any one recently. The two other defendants said they had no bad feeling toward Jackson, and that, he Is himself responsible for what took place In the various fights. The three men were each held In 5250 ball to answer be fore the grand Jury- Liquor Dealers Elect Officers. These officers were elected for the ensu ing year yesterday at the annual meet ing of the Oregon Liquor Dealers' Pro tective Association: President, S. A. Anna; vice-president, J- V. Lankln; sec retary, n. Germanus; treasurer, Louis Trummer; trustees D. Germanus. John Watson and A. Anderllnl. About 40 mem bers were present several of them being from "out of town. The'flnanclal affairs of the association were shown to be in a satisfactory condition. In a general dis cussion It was the sense of the meeting that all proprietors of grocery and drug stores and restaurants, where liquor is sold at retail, should be compelled to pay the same license as that paid by saloon keepers, 5400 per year. Planned to Break City Jail. Taking advantage of the fact that the police were unusually busy yesterday at a num ber of hearings In the Municipal Court some prisoner left In the down-stairs de partment of the city jail made prepara tions for a prospective jail break by re moving the supports on the lock at tached to the door leading upstairs to the courtroom. But the watchful eyes of Jailer Roberts noticed the condition of the lock just In time, and the plan to escape was spoiled. Of course, none of the prisoners would own up mat any body In their crowd had meddled witn the lock. Death of Daniel Carr. Daniel Carr, 74 years old, known for many years as the veteran watchman of the i landers dock, where he was called ".Old Faith ful," died yesterday at St Vincent's .Hos pital. He was born in Ireland, and so far as known has no relatives along tne Pacific Coast Arrangements as to the funeral have not yet been made. H. S. Osgood Released. H. S. Osgood, who has been detained at the city jail several days waiting for charges to be filed against him on an accusation that he obtained money by false pretenses, was released yesterday. The two saloon keepers who had both cashed bogus checks given by Osgood declined to ap pear against him. Social dance tonight by K. O. T. 31., Burkhard HalL Invitations from members.

Tonight at the Marquam Grand, Port land amusement-lovers will bo furnished with a rare treat In the coming of that delightful opera comlque, "The Princess Chic," which made one of the biggest hits offered by the Marquam last season. The book was written by Klrke la Shelle and" the music composed by Julian Ed wards, and is without a doubt their best efforts. The book Is both Interesting and funny; the music tuneful and catchy. Miss Vera Mlchelena, the bewitching and brilliant youn gsoprano, Is this season playing the title role. The eminent basso, Joseph C. Mlron, In his original role of Brevet, Is again with the company In fact, the company Is far superior to last years, which Is saying a great deal. .The Puget Sound papers have given the entire company very flattering criticism. "Prin cess Chic" will be the attraction tonight and tomorrow night "Down by the Sen" Next AVeck. Many comedy-dramas have been seen on the local stage recently, but it can be truly said that none has come here more highly recommended than "Down by the Sea," 'the attraction billed for next week at Cordray's. It is one of those true pictures of the pathos and reality of life, lofty in sentiment and natural In plot and character delineation. On its recent pre sentation in Boston the production was the subject of no little comment on ac count of the uniform excellence of the players, and the performance was en joyed and appreciated. The play will be presented here next week, beginning with Sunday matinee, January 11, with the same powerful company that was Wentltled wltu the success of the original production. Many new and up-to-date specialties have been added, and a most complete and interesting performance is' assured. There will be the usual ladles' and children's matinee Saturday. "The Little 3IInistcr." Portland theater-goers are very much gratified over the announcement that th Neill Stock Company will next week, starting with the usual Sunday matinee, produce J. M. Barrio's famous play, "The Little Minister." The play has been seen In Portland before, but It is nevertheless, a desirable attraction for amusement lovers. "The Little Minister" is rich in sentiment while at the-same time carry ing a vein of high-class comedy which never fails to add to the beauty of a drama. The production at the Baker by the Neill Stock Company will be complete in every detail. Strict attention will be paid to all of the requirements of the play and nothing left undone to make It one of the most momentuous events In Portland theatricals this season. Every character In the play Is exceptionally good and in the hands of the members of the Neill Stock Company will be given a decidedly correct portrayal. George Alison, the new leading man for the Baker, will make his first appearance before a Portland audience In "The Little VALUES AND BARGA1 NS FOR EVERYBODY Our Great Clearance Sale Draws the crowd.

Thet third symphony concert, to be given Tuesday evening, January 13, at the Marquam Grand, will show a marked ad vance In the orchestral work. Many fa vorable comments were heard after the second concert concerning the attractive programme so well presented, and It is safe to predict even greater favor for this concert. The symphony will be Haydn's "Surprise," which was a great favorite with audiences during Haydn's lifetime. It was written in 1791, and Haydn said he Intended It to startle the audience, "Right there," he said, "the women will all scream," pointing out the well-known ex plosion of tlfe drums. Mrs. Walter Reed, who needs no introduction to Portland audiences, will be the soloist "The Wronpr Mr. "Wright." The advance sale of scats will begin this morning at 10 o'clock, for Harry Beresford in "The Wrong Mr. Wright," who comes to the Marquam Grand The ater next Saturday night, January 10.
