Jo Place to Plant Trees. It is time lat. preparation of the grounds for the 2Wis and Clark Fair was under way. ie. public has this matter in mind, as Is own by the fact that P. L. AVillis, chair- in of the Fair board committee on nor- :ulture. a day or two ago received a Itter from Mr. Pilklngton, who has a. Irge and quite valuable collection of lees, shrubs, etc., at Lewelling's nursery. jar Oswego, offering to make a present the collection to the Fair grounds. !r. "Willis, of course, returned thanks and cpressed his desire to accept the gener is offer, if the ground could be pre- vred in time for the reception of the lants this Spring. Of course, it has been lpossiblo to make much progress Awards getting the grounds ready before ae Legislature acted on the Fair ques- in. Hereafter, no time should be lost In pmpleting preliminary preparations, as ie Is on the wing, and the days and ionths pass swiftly by. Soon some one Sill be saying: "This is February, next lonth Is March, and then comes April, id there are three months gone and jthing done. Wake up and get a move Ghosts at a Discount. A storeroom a building owned by a large property- vner has probably been occupied by tore tenants within the past 10 or a jzen years than any other building In the ty. A corner grocery has been opened in Uby many persons, but none of them ive remained any length or time. ne illding is on one of the principal streets this city, but Is In the region between ie business section and the residence action, and Is consequently not favor- jly located for a family grocery. The rner of this property on being asked a iv or two ago wny it was empty so buch of the time, said it was haunted. luch an explanation would have been a illd one half a century ago, as ghosts fere much in evidence In those days, but Irobably few of the rising generation nderstand what a "hant" is or take any tock In ghosts. Which is a good thing. She Has Few Birthdats. A little girl I'ho lives in this city, and who was born hebruary 29. 1S92, feels just a little envi- lus when her schoolmates have birthday irties and celebrations, as she Ias enjoyed only one sucn anni ersary celebration in 1S96 when he was . 4 years old. In 1900 ie extra day in February was omitted. Is Is usual In the first year of a century, nd so she had no birthday that year and las .had none since. Neither will she Jiave Sne this year. Next year there will be 29 I ays in February and she will be 12 ears old. She Is already planning for a reat time for her second .birthday cele ratlon. She should be consoled by the lought that she will grow old very Blowiy. Elevators in City Hall. The state- leht made several days ago to the effect lat the elevators in the City Hall were operation, was a little premature. hey were just being tried to see If they uld run. It was found that after lying He for half a dozen years, they were Lll out of order. The valves having he- Lome useless on account of the leathers nd packing having all become rotten arid polled. They" have been overhauled and Ihe machinery put in good order, and order has been made for James Back- Instos to start one of them running this lorning. It will probably -be a long lime before the public will have to trot id and down the marble stairs there tgaln. Takino Old Man's Job. One of the old bst and most successful business men of Elortland expressed regret at seeing v-a soy of 10 or 12 years walking about the kreets sandwiched between two boards bovered with advertisements. He said It sras making a wrong start and degrading Ihe boy. To blacken shoes or do any kind work was no disgrace, to anybody, but fcuch a job as sandwich man was fit -only for a crippled or- decrepld person. "To 3lace an active, energetic boy or man in ich a position is degrading, and has a tendency to incline him to avoid active it useful work and to be satisfied with Naming trifled without working, which Is hot a good thing for any one." No Changes in Postoffice Clerks. A. Bancroft, lately appointed Post- :aster for Portland, says he expects to issume the duties of that office about the liddle of February. His bonds have been tade out, and it is possible that he could je ready to take charge by February L aut he has occupied his present position 30 long, ana mere are so many imngs :onnected with it which he has always ittended to personally, that he desires to get them all settled up before turning them over to his successor. He says he ias no changes in posioince employes in lontemplatlon, but that everything will ?o on as at present, till changes become lecessary. Another Deer in the Park.

J, W. Baltes ec uu iinotypers, priuiv Search for Firm Foundations. Bor ings are being made on the site of the four-story brick warehouse to be erected by Drake C. O'Reilly, near the storage establishment of J. McCraken Company on Irving street. This jslte'is filled ground, originally a part of Couch Lake, and in order to secure a solid foundation the architect, R. Martin, Jr., proposes to drive piles down to the hard stratum of gravel. This stratum underlies all the level part of the cits, but at varying depths. At Third and Salmon streets it is only about 16 feet below the surface, but at Irving and Park streets it is about 40 feet below. It is Intended to drive piles down to this hard stratum, then dig a tronch about the tops of them and bury them in concrete. This will, without doubt, make a solid foundation. In regard to driving piling down to a solid stratum, John E. Bennett, the contractor, tells an amusing story In connection with repair ing the bridge on East Fourth street across Sullivan's gulch, in 1SS2. He was driving 40-foot piles to a depth of 20 feet, using a hammer which was unhooked from the cable and allowed to drop of its own weight. Finally a 50-foot pile was placed in position, and the hammer dropped. The pile went out of sight like a shot, and the hammer chaseo after It down into the soft mud. The pile had struck a pot-hole or a chimney, and was never seen again. The spectators laughed and pronounced the hammer a goner, as one had been lost there in the same way when the bridge was built. Mr. Bennett got a fellow to dive down in the sand, but he could not find the hammer. He then hired a dler in armor, who went down and found the hammer lodged In the top of a tree. They had It in position on the derrick by 2 A. M., to the astonish ment of the crowd who gathered next morning to see the hunt for It, Just whether the tree was lying down or standing Ls not known, but the limbs 'caught the hammer. Couldn't Throw Up His Hands. It is not often that a man Is held up at the point of a pistol and robbed of all the money on his person and believes the whole matter to be a joke, but this Is what happened a few evenings ago to C. E. Smith. His left arm was paralyzed some time ago and he Is unable to raise it to his head. When a tall fellow and' a short fellow met him and told him to throw up his hands he raised one arm with tho other as high as he could, im agining that his assailants knew his con dition and were joking him. Even when the tall fellow placed a pistol at his head and told him to give up his money, he still thought It was a joke, and when he told them to search him and one of them passed his hands down over his vest, and finding that he had some change in one of the pockets of his trousers and ex tracted the same, and both ran off. Mr. Smith still thought It was all a Joke, and it was not till he had read an account of the affair in the papers that it dawned on him that he had actually been held up, and the' joke was really on him. He thinks it was worth all he lost to have gone through such an adventure under such pleasant conditions. 1 Need More Police. The twenty eighth Street District Improvement Asso ciation of the East Side will meet tonight at 8 o'clock in the office of the Doern becher Manufacturing Company. The particular matters that will be discussed will be the electric light, gas and water supply. The residents are also very anxious of obtaining the service of a po lice officer In the evening from S to 12 o'clock, as since the new bridge has been built at the head of Twenty-eighth street a number of hoodlums have caused trouble for the Doernbecher Company, and also for many of the residents In the vicin ity. It Is believed that some protection is due the people and every means will be taken to obtain iL The grading of the streets In the Hawthorne and York Addi tions has left the condition of the streets and sidewalks very bad, as the contractors have left thclrwork partially finished. Some of tld sidewalks are laid down with spaces iour or nve reet long wunout any Doarus, thus making It dangerous for any persons passing up East Flanders street after dark. It Is the Intention of the taxpayers to protest against the manner In which the work has been done. Antidote for "Hot Air." A citizen who has been looking into the liquefied air business and has ascertained what a vast amount of the atmosphere is required to make a barrel of that liquid, ls much worried over the prospect of cold storage men adopting It1 for use In their plants, In the place of ice. He fears that in this case so much air will be used up that after a time there will not be enough left for breathing purposes. His fears are increased by the fact that compressed air Is coming Into general use as motive power. The waste of air through com pression and liquefaction Is hardly likely to shut off the breath, of many, but it may Interfere with the hot-air business, which will be a good thing. There are so many disease germs floating about In the atmosphere these days that it might be a good thing if all the air could be J liquefied and thawed out, and these germs killed. They appear to thrive In hot air but the temperature of liquid air would doubtless prove fatal to them. Hoodlums Annot Street Cleaners. The superintendent of the street-cleaning department, Alexander Donaldson, com plains that mischievous hoodlums In Al bino have within a short time broken two locks off the hand cart in which his men put their brooms, hoes, shovels, etc, for safety during the night. They do not steal any of these Implements, but just out of malicious mischief upset the hand cart and break the locks. Tho citizens should look after these mischievous boys and report them to the police, as they of course desire to have as much street cleaning done as possible, and without the necessary implements the streets cannot be cleaned. Looking for Mtbtert. A mysterious shooting affray occurred at Twenty-third and Washington streets"last night. Claude Reed' was placed under arrest, but the only charge against him is for defacing a building. The window was broken out of a saloon at this point and the people In that district say that it was done with a pistol ball. Officer Kay made the ar rest, and thinks there Is more connected with the case than th& mere breaking of the window. For some reason, how ever, there was no other charge made. Recovered Anchor 'and Cable. Tho cable and anchor which the French ship Surcouf lost at Brookfield a short time ago, and which was located by the wreck ing steamer O. K., was recovered Satur day morning by Frltz D. Rock, diver, after much trouble, in 55 feet of water. He was at work all day on the job, which was made more difficult on account of the depth of the water and the length of the cable, which was an unusually long one and with the anchor is worth about? $1000.

Dills Jack Chesney George Alison Charles Wykeham William Lamp Lord Fancourt Babberly . Howard Russell Brasset Bennett Southard The New Footman ...William Delaney Donna Lucia d'Alvadorer..Mlna Gleason Amy Spettigue Elsie Esmond Kitty Verdon Cathrine Countlss Ella Delahay Lillian Rhoads "I'm Charley's aunt, from Brazil, where the nuts come from," Is the sentence which gave Inspiration to that fountain of good humor known as Brandon Thomas' "Charley's Aunt," played yesterday at Baker's Theater. As usual, every seat was occupied at both performances yes-ond terday, and the comedy was warmly and kindly welcomed. It is excellently staged, the attractive sceneo representing an Ox ford College student's room, a lovely English garden, and an English drawing room. Tho women's gowns, in the drawing-room scene, are very charming, and must have been the envy of all the dress makers who saw them. One familiar face was inland from the boards, that of William Bernard, who takes a rest this week. Howard Russell has done good work at Baker's Theater before now, but his friends were not prepared for the really excellent portraiture he gave of the dash ing English nobleman. Lord Fancourt Bab berly, whose double is "Charley s Aunt" with her antique rlngletf, motherly man ner, and feminine-masculine ways. He in jected so much clean-cut, dry humor into his lines that people laughed before the sentences were fully spoken. This is the acme of the art. He made a great hit. Another strong creation was that of Stephen Spettigue, an Oxford lawyer, played by William H. Dille, who acted the part to the life. George Alison, as Jack Chesney, an Ox ford student, was more at home in the part than in any other which he has hith erto essayed In Portland. He acted so naturally and so easily, that It was dif ficult to believe that the droll tribulations and, love affairs of an Oxford undergrad uate were not actually pasoing. Cathrine Countlss and Elsie Esmond-, as two cul tured English drawing-room misses, did not have much to do so far as sustained action is concerned, but their work wan artistic. Lillian Rhoads had a responsible part as Ella Delahay. an orphan In love with Lord Babberly, and there wao a dls tlrict advnnce in her work. She showed real ability, with delicious touches ol dainty pathos. The story of Charley's Aunt" is too well known for extended comment. It will be the side-splitting at traction at Baker's Theater for tho re mainder of the wcelt. There'3 a laugh a minute in It. NEW EPISCOPAL MISSION. Bishop Morris InnuRnratcN Service In Woodstock. The opening of the Episcopal Mission at Woodstock yesterday morning by tho ltiglit Rev. B.-Wlstar Morris, Bishop of , uregon, urougnt togetner a very good congregation of residents with a few vis- ; itors from the West Side. The services i began with the organization of the Sun- uay scnooi at w a. m. Mr. u. L. far- j Kr, uie my missionary, iook cnarge oi the school, and was glad to find over 30 children besides young ladies and young gentlemen making a total of 40 persons present. The school was divided Into classes of from six to 10 each, and other routine work done, but the school will not begin Its regular work until next Sunday. It was a matter for congratu lation to And the musical talent of the school so good, and the opportunity for cultivation will be Improved upon. Bishop Morris and Rev. WTilllam R. Powell were present at the services be ginning at 11 o'clock, and the latter were conducted by Mr. Powell. The bishop preached an appropriate sermon from the first two words of the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father." He also spoke about the objects of the mission, and asked the co-operation of the people. Mr. Powell also spoke a few words, explaining the uses of the vestments and other emhblematlc observ ances of the church, giving the reasons for their use. Mr. Parker, the lay missionary was called on by the bishop to say something, and he outlined his plans in a few words. The musical talent is, so pronounced that it Is contemplated to form a boys' choir and a young people's choir, or club, who will Interest themselves In the music of the church; and a woman's guild will be started which will have charge of the work of the mission specially belonging to them. A i club of men will also be formed to whom will be given the organ ization of a reading room and the giving of entertainments to Increase the influ ence and prosperity of the locality In civic matters as well as the church. The bishop then concluded theservlces with appropriate prayers. Tho movemont was felt to be a success and likely to be permanent. DISTURBED BY LOUD NOISES Complaint of Annoyance In the Same of Religion. PORTLAND, Jan. 24. (To the Editor.) Please allow me to make a few remarks for the welfare of the public and for your consideration. My idea is that the" best of things moral and physical may be carried to such extremes as to become an intolerable nuisance. In other words, one may have too much, even of a good thing. The law and the city authori ties attend to such matters, except In the case of religious extremes. I fall to see that people should be allowed to make nuisances of themselves in the name of religion. There ls a woman, evidently of unsound mind, who comes before my window. Third and Yamhill streets, every evening and howls at the top of her voice for an hour. A sick woman In the house suf fers terribly from this, and when the howls are loudest nearly jumps out of bed. Her husband applied to the police and was told that he must gQ to Judge Kogue and swear out a complaint. On the next corner at the White House a howling mob collects three times a week and howls its lungs empty and deafens the neighbors. There Is a mob that beats a big drum and blows a big horn and stands on the corner and, tells you how bad you are and how you will go to hell unless you do as they do. They then beg for money for Christ's sake, and they invite you to their hall and beg of you again. They are religious beggars. If some poor old man who tramps into tewn asks for some thing to eat he ls arrested. Why should such howling beggars have such privileges? Such people are ruining young Americans. They teach them not to smoke, not .to drink and I believe not to work. LABORER. "Laborer" can probably obtain relief easiest by moving to some sparsely set tled district, for If he undertakes to med dle with the class now annoying him he will be likely to get Into deeper trouble. Hofipltal, "Sot Church. PORTLAND, Jan. 2a. (To the Editor.) I notice that a recent telegram to your paper from Astoria stated that the late J. A. Devlin bequeathed the sum of $3000 to St. Mary's Church. This wasYan error, as the bequest was made to St. Mary's Hospital, one" of the oldest and best known Institutions of the city. I think the correction Is due the Sisters, who were remembered by the deceased, and who were not mentioned In the published ronorte of the will, A SUBSCRIBER. "Whoije Baby Are You?" Walter Mylton Wm. Woodslde "Walter Mylton, Sr John F. Ward Hugh Wallace Harold Flske Ned CHve Harry Ober The Baron Joseph Leonard Geoltry Morton John Sparks The Baroness Cora Macy Gladys Penfleld Marlon Walch Madge Morton June Mathls Abigail Ida Ward Myron B. Rice's effervescent farce, "Whose Baby Are You?" opened yester day afternoon at Cordray's Theater, and the house was crowded. It is a mirth provoking specimen of the playwright's art. The company is a small but capable one, and the four real babies who made their appearance at the end of the sec- act are as chubby-faced, bright-eyed uttle persons as one would wish to see in a day's walk. The farce does not call for an elaborate scenic display, and the story Is enfolded in three acts In the reception-room of Walter Mylton, New York. The plot is based on a funny mistake relating to the Identity of Madge Mor ton, a grown-up young lady, and "Baby Madge." the Infant daughter of a Ger man Baron. Geoffry Morton, father of the real Madge, sends her to his old friend, Walter Mylton, Sr., at the latter's apartment-house in New York City, to await his arrival, but Madge ls delayed on her journey, and a ludicrous mix-up follows, when a German nobleman,, his wife, and their infant daughter, Madge, call at the rooms occupied by the Myltons. just at the time when young Walter Mylton is puzzling his brains over the meaning of a letter from the elder Morton. The message asks his friend. Mylton, Sr., to take care of his "Baby Madge," and from this moment the fun increases in volume. Young Mylton, In the temporary absence of his uncle, does not know what to do with a baby sant to his tender care, and when the German Baron and Baroness leave their daughter in her baby car riage In his rooms he tries to hide the fact from his sweetheart model, Gladys Penfleld. f Complications ensue when she and his two chums, Hugh Wallace and Ned Cllve, awake to the situation. Ablgal, the jan itor's daugnter, adds to the enigma by casually bringing in throe neighbors' babler, and the identity of the German Baron's baby becomes doubtful, until the real Madge turns up. Marion Walsh as Gladys Penfleld, and June Mathls as Madge Morton, gave creditable represen tations of those characters. Most of the work falls on William Woodslde, ar Myl ton. Jr., the artist, and with Joseph Leon ard and Cora Macy, the German Baron and his wife, he divides the honors. "Whose Baby Are You?" will run until Wednesday nighL JOSEPH K. CLARK IS DEAD Portland Man, Brother of Montana Senator, Stricken In Lo.s Anj?elej. LOS ANGELES. Jan. 25. Joseph K. Clark, brother of United States Senator WT. A. Clark, died today at the home of his sister, Mrs. G. F. Miller, in this city, Mr. Clark, accompanied bv his familv. attend a family reunion in honor of the S3th anniversary of the birthday of his moiner, airs, aiary uiarK. i?riday alter- affection and sank into unconsciousness, W50J th owlLer f . - - 'in n c TV pntt An mill In roTTriirr w f from which he never rallied. Up to the time of the attack he was In his usual health. Joseph IC. Clark resided at Portland, Or., near which city he had large mining interests. For many years Ifc resided in Butte, Mont. He was associated with his brother, Senator Clark, in mining enter prises and with W. A. and J. Ross Clark in the sugar industry in this city. He was 60 years of ago and leaves a widow, but no children. No news of the death of Mr. Clark had been received at his late residence, at 414 Mill street, when an Oregonian re porter called there at 10:30 o'clock last night, nbr had the Hon. Tyler Woodward, for 37 years an intimato friend of the deceased, received any telegraphic Infor mation from Los Angeles. At the Clark residence, L. Dahlc, who was in charge, stated that a dispatch had been received from Mrs. Clark early In the evening, stating that there was no hope, and tell Ing him to instruct her maid to leave at once for California. The maid left on the S:30 o'clock train, and about an hour later the news of Mr. Glark's death was received In Portland. When a reporter called upon Mr. Wood ward he found him sitting In his library, anxiously waiting for news of the condi tion of his old friend. "So he ls dead," said Mr. Woodward, after he had glanced over the dispatch. "Well," he added with a sigh, "we had teen friends since the 'COs. We first met in Montana, In 1SG6, and we were together all the way from Missoula to Walla Walla. When he purchased a residence In Portland, and said that he would re side here permanently, I though our re lations would be continued for many years, and I sincerely regret to learn of his death." Mr. Woodward said Mr. Clark came to Portland last February and purchased the residence at 414 Mill street, had it fitted and furnished and the servants set tled, and had then gone to Mexico to look after interests there. He was in terested In 35,000 acres of land In Northern Mexico, and he intended to plant it in rubber, vanilla and coffee. Returning, he bought a large placer ininlng interest in Jump-off-Joo Creek, in Southern Oregon, whero he intended to begin operations soon. He returned to Portland a little more than a week ago. and last Monday night he left for Los Angeles to attend the family reunion. He was then In the best of health. "Portland suffers a loss by his death." continued Mr. Woodward. "He said he liked the city and the climate, and ho wished to Invest money here. Once he Intended to establish a smelter here, but as tho lead trust would have prevented the disposal of his product, he had to give up the idea. , . "I have no idea of Mr. Clark's wealth. He was not a boastful man, and he never said anything about his various proper ties except casually. He told me about the Jump-off-Joo claim, his Mexican in terests, his connection with the Los An geles refinery a"nd about his Coeur d'Alene mines, but he never said anything about what he was worth. He really was not the' sort of a man to talk of such things. He was simply a rich, whole-souled man, who never boasted and who made friends wherever he went, and had no enemies."
