An old dttren I was pleased to observe resterday that I the late Senator Corbett made an excel, lent provision In his will for the estab lishment of a professor of penmanship at Portland Academy. In order that the art of writing might not become lost ab solutely, and be went to far as to soy that when he came to Oregon, people as a rule could write a more legible hand than at the present time. There have been so many systems of penmanship taught In the schools cf late, public as well as private, that the result has been that many students form some letters one way and some another, and the writ ten words have a very queer appearance. For many years the Bpencerlan system was the only one used, and the came an other variety called the vertical, or up right, which looks more like print than the other, and when one word is made of one kind of letters and the next of the other. It Is very confusing to people, especially when their1 vision Is poor, as In the case of most of the old ones. It Is to be hoped that the bequest will have the desired result and give to the future residents of the city a handwriting that will be remarkable for its distinctness, for good penmanship means much, and a man who can boast of It has a long lead over the man with the poor writing. Epicures Mat Eat Trout. The sale of trout at this season Is forbidden by law, so if the markets have any they do not display them. Only those who have ardent fishermen among their friends are likely to eat trout now, but others do occasionally obtain some at their club or at some restaurant whose proprietor has been "presented" with them. A small and select party a day or two since had some black bass for lunch, which they were told were brought from Idaho. They asked no further questions, but pronounced the bass delicious. As the bass fishing season does not open till June, and the sale of trout is prohibited" at all times, the general public stand but little show of eating many bam or trout, unless some 'one violates the law. "When the price to be obtained for trout or bass Is high enough, there are always many ready and willing to do this, and the person who does not care for the ex pense, and knows where to apply, need not ruin his health for lack of any kind of fish found In the country. Feu, Out op His Wagon. The driver of a wagon. In haete to deliver a pack age, pulled up to the curb on Fourth street, near Yamhill, yesterday, dropped his lines over the handle of the brake and placed one foot on the top of a wheel to Jump down to the sidewalk. In his hurry he did not notice that he had caught his toe In the slack lines, and when he Jumped down he was tripped and landed on his shoulder. He was badly hurt and shaken up. but man aged to deliver the package and drive away. An old teamster, who witnessed the accident, said the style of dropping lines over a brake-handle was a very careless one. and It was a wonder that no more drivers were Injured from It. His advice to drivers of all delivery wag. ons is to have a ring on the back of the seat in the middle to fasten the lines In. so that he can easily step over them If he wishes to get off on the left side, and where h will always find them at his hand wben he Jumps up to his seat.

On Saturday afternoon several of the larger children at the receiving home of the Boys' and Go-Is Aid Society were Invited by Messrs. Cordray & Russell to attend the matinee at Cordray's Theater. President Tyler Woodard. of the City & Suburban Rail way, furnished free transportation over his line. There are now two or three girls, aged from 11 to 14 years, and sev eral boys of the same age. for whom the management Is desirous of finding homes. where they will be sent to school and re. celve their board In return for services rendered. Mrs. Wilcox Delated bt Sickness. Those In charge of the reception of Ella Wheeler Wilcox during her visit In Port land have not heard from her for several days past, and there seems to -be some doubt as to exactly what date she will arrive In Portland. She has been sick during her trip, and the programme she at first undertook to follow has been mod. lfled. It Is expected she will arrive dur ing the last of the week, and the exact date will possibly be Thursday. Women to Fork .Lewis and Clark Clcb. All Portland women Interested In the forming of the Lewis and Clark Cen tennial Woman's Club are Invited to be present at the rooms of the Board of Trade, In the Chamber of Commerce, to morrow afternoon, to perfect organiza tion. The meeting will be held at 2:30 P. M.. and It is thought tbat there are enough enthusiasts In the city to form a club as larne as many already in exist ence In other Oregon towns.

AT THE TH EAT ERS A Xlght Off." jnsticlan Babbitt William Gleaaon Jack Konxrry Oeorg Allaoa Lord XalbCTr Fred Mower Karros Brutus Snap.. William Bernard fProwl Bennett Southard Mrs. Zastlppa Babbitt.. ..Mtaa Gleaaoa Xlibe Cathrln Coualisa Anctlica Damask Elite Esmond Su"n Boy Bernard Xarts. Lillian Rhoads Roars of laughter greeted the double presentation of the comedy "A Night Off. at Baker's Theater yesterday. It Is really more than comedy It Is refined comedy coupled with screaming farce, to euch an extent that many people laughed until the tears came to their eyes. The theater was crowded, as uruaL "A Night Off Is from the German of Schonthan Brothers, and was modernized by Augus tin Daly. The names of such people as Ada Rehan. John Drew, May Irwin, Otis Skinner and others are ateodated with this comedy. It Is a creditable piece with which to end the season of 32 weeks of the Baker Theater Stock Company. The orchestral selections were very pleasing. William Bernard never looked funnier than In his character of Marcus Brutus Snap, a heavy tragedian. When he used his Henry Irving theatrical stride In step ping on the stage, and people saw his enormous collar, red necktie, "plug" hat. fur-necked overcoat, brown trousers with & dark stripe down the sides, and the Inevitable eyeglass stuck under his left eyebrow, there were shrieks of laughter. Hit talk was alto tbat of a heavy tragedian, and he made bis lines so ludicrous that even his fellow actors smiled in spite of themselves. William Gleason. the husband of Mlna Oleasoh, made his first appearance at Baker's Theater, as Justinian Babbitt, the dry. as-dust professor of ancient history In Camptown University. Mr. Gleaeon soon showed that he Is an experienced and capable actor. He looks the part he assumes, has a dry humor, and a delib erate way of talking. Poor man, be Is the very picture of a hen-pecked hus band, and does not venture to call his scul his own when his nagging wife, Mrs. Zantlppa Babbitt (Mlna Gleason) Is around. Mrs. Gleaeon was handicapped by a slight cold, but she gave a very en joyable rendering. The story In the comedy relates to the production of a tragedy, written by Pro fessor Babbitt, at a local theater, and his attempts to try and prevent his wife from knowing anything about his experiences as a playwright. When she does dis cover this, there Is h. regular "Tamlng-of-the-ShrewV time. George Alison as Jack Mulberry, and Cathrlne Countlss as Nlsbe were as acceptable as usual. Fred Mower, as Lord Mulberry and Ben nett Southard, as Prowl, the university usher, had excellent make-ups, and added to the fun. Elsie Esmond. Roy Bernard and Howard Russell did good work. "A Night Off" Is the bill all week, and at every performance souvenir programmes will be given to women patrons. FIELD'SMINSTRELSTONIGHT Clever Comedians, Mincers and Acro bats Make Up Fine Show. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater Al'G. Field's Greater 'Minstrels will begin an engagement of two nights with a pop ular matinee tomorrow (Tuesday) at 2:15 o'clock. It la scarcely a year since Mr. Field visited us and gave Portland -one of the bst minstrel shows we ever had, and Judging from the following criticism of the Seattle Dally Times of March 20, we are again to be entertained by a still better organization: Al Field mtut have the mlnitrel aboW w have been looking for. Judging by the way the blc bouae at the Grand last elzht took up the finrt performance. In staring ability Field's Mlnureli certainly turyau anything tlie be tween ima eeaaon ana luc. asa lis comics are not at all slow. Field never has a, one-man show, or a two man show, but always comes along with a rood-sized agrrexatlon with generally distrib uted talent. He has hit hlzh-prlced comedians an! hla hign-prlced singers, of course, but there are olhera, and the programme civet them all a chance. As a result, there la good. swift rohutreUr on tap all of the time. Be tides, most men save the price of admission In not belnr able to so out between acta. For there are no between acta In the Field thow In the olio. Doe Qultleys dancing brought a twarm of plaudits. Reese Protser tang the intermezzo from the Maacagnl musical melo drama with telling eCect. There were turns by the comedians, an entertaining monologue on the beef trust by the owner of the show, and a sketch. "Uncle Era's Dream." that ought to be cut down two-thirds. The musical bar bers do tome curious stunts In ttc comedy musical turns, and their selections soar aa high aa the ballet music from "Faust" and the "Miserere." The Faust family, of Australia, acrobats, are certainly clever. There are nlna of them, halt of whom are children, and the little ones are at agile and perfectly trained as their elders, though the thinness of their bodies suggests that the work Is too bard for' them. Every thing Is done In perfect form, which Is half the battle la an acrobatic turn. Some horse play under the Utl of "A Tropical Travesty" concludes the show, and Its chief merit is that it doesn't take long. But the Field show on the whole la new and snappy, and Is worth going (walking) miles to tee. Rose Coghlnn'a Triumph. Rose Coghlan has scored another triumph In her performance of A. W. Plnero's play. "The Second Mrs. Tan queray," which will be presented at the Marquam Grand Theater next Friday and Saturday nights, April 10 and U, with a special matinee Saturday. So much has been written In magazines and news papers, so many famous actresees have scrambled for, and appeared In this play, which Is a keenly observed study of so ciety life, that unusual interest has al ready been manifested In the first visit of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" to this city. Society will be out In force. A Plnero play produced by such an actress as Rose Coghlan calls for special atten tion. The advance sale of Seats will be gin next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Oratorio Tomorrow Right. Owing to the nature of the work to be produced and to tbe fact that It is new to Portland audiences, the oratorio, "Mary Magdalen," to be rendered Tuesday even ing of this week, at the First Congrega tional Church, Is creating more than the usual Interest. It is peculiarly appropri ate to this season of the year, reaching the climax In the closing number, a joy ous, trumphant Easier chorus. There are several difficult, but effective numbers for chorus, which are worthy the care and study they have received. The orchestra baa been augmented for this oratorio and will play an Important part In tho general effect, as Is the case la all modern work of thlo character. Youthful Ball Tosters. Fifteen nrnmlalne vnnvw h...t..tl thus lasts are trying for the Tonng Men's Christian Association team this season. The men practice on Mondays. Wednes days and Fridays on the East Side grounds at Tenth and Davis streets, and will arrange a schedule of games with the local college teams of the city in a few days. The association will play In tbe Intermediate class this year, aa most of the players are rather young to class with the regular amateur teams of the city. Hlgh-Grtade Plans lor Rent.

Rath LouIm Larkln Benor Kent Grace Larkln Mjca Ketehom Marl Mortey Florence Johnaon Mammy Jinny.... Nellie Carmen Archie Jullett FarUh Thomas Fitch's new character play, dealing with a stern lesson In business morality, "Reaping the Harvest." paid Its first visit to Portland yesterday, open lng A week's engagement at Cordray's Theater. The author of this play Is no relation to Clyde Fitch, the well-known writer of "Lovers Lane" and numerous dainty comedies, and his abilities lie In another direction. Thomas Fitch writes about the stern facts of life, about the truism that playing at business usually meets with disaster, and that dissipation ends In ruin. Yet his character play, which Is now running In its second sea son. Is not without Its touches of quaint humor. For who could sit unmoved and without a smile when Eph (J. B. Hymer), colored, either makes fran tic love to Mammy Jinny (Nellie Car men), a colored cook, or schemes to bor row 10 cents from every person he meets? Then there is the mirthful drollery of Lem Kronk (Charles Cleyton), a country yokel with a vacant grin, who excels In his musical selections on the mouth or gan. Mr. Hymer is also known as the man who wrote one of the poems In the "Ostler Joe" series. Mr. Fitch appears In his own creation of Donald Stuart, partner In the business firm of Stuart & Meeker, Louisville, Ky.. where the partners do not apeak to each other In passing, because they love the same woman, Grace Larkln (Myna. Ketch um). Of course, without a business head, the firm goes to smash, but not before Edward Meeker (G. H. Rowe) morally and financially ruins Stuart, who has been gambling on the firm's assets, quitting a heavy loser. Meekes turns out to be an unscrupulous villain and poisons the mind of Grace Larkln. He makes her believe tbat In her dealings with Stuart she should think of money first and lova afterward. She Is a cold, heartless girl, and readily believes a silly story told by the adventuress of the play, Marie- juoney (nor ence Johnson) and breaks off her engagement with Stuart. Just then Meeker kills John Craig, a book keeper or his late firm. In a quarrel about the possession of compromising papers, and fastens the prime on Stuart. The latter Is arrested for murder, but Is ac quitted, and then Stuart, through bis troubles, becomes a man. His subsequent probity and oneness of purpose not only enable him to make a fortune again, but the way Is opened to his great reward, the love of Louise Larkln (Elenore Kent), a, sister of the girl who Jilted him. The scenery is good, and the representation of the snow storm makes one shiver In this genial outdoor climate. "Reaping the Harvest" will continue all week. TO CARRY RECORD CARGO Dlx Will Be Loaded With 4,000,000 Feet or Lumber. The transport Dlx. which at one time was expected to come to Portland to load for Manila, will probably carry the rec ord lumber cargo from Puget Sound. This Is the prediction mad bv P. ! O. Griggs, of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lum- vumiioiij .i. ijicvmH, wfiere tne .transport Is now loading lumber for the Philippines. Captain Griggs and William P. Trowbridge, manager of the Griffin Car Wheel Works ,at, Tacoma, are now In. Portland, the former having come to this city for the purpose of purchasing a saddle horse and the latter being here on a business mission. "When the Dlx sailed from Puget Sound a few months ago with 3.150,000 feet of lumber aboard she established a new record." declared Captain Griggs at the Portland yesterday. "At the time she had a partial cargo of hay for the Army aboard and this prevented the big trans port from taking all the lumber cargo she could carry. Army officials, however, are vastly pleased with tbe showing she made. "We will put fully 3,900.000 feet of lum ber aboard the vessel this time. We may even reach 4.000,000 feet before she la finally loaded. No matter which total Is attained the Dlx Is certain to break all records for big cargoes taken from the Sound ports. "The St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber Com pany and the Tacoma Mill Company are loading the Dlx together. She' will carry a full cargo of lumber on her present, trip, all Intended for the use of the Army In the Philippines. "The lumber trade with the Islands Is Improving remarkably. Of course, the Army Is our principal customer, but there are other good customers. As the coun try develops there Is certain to be a bet ter field for our lumber products. "The Dlx on her last trip took a con signment of hemlock. This was an expe rimental shipment and we are not likely to hear any definite statement of the re sults for a year or so. But Washington lumbermen are confident the hemlock will make good In the tropics. It has been demonstrated that It will withstand the ravages of the white ants and this In Itself Is an lmpartant fac tor. I believe ultimately there will grow up & very good trade In hemlock with the Philippines1 HIS MONEY IS MISSING. J. B. Mobley Recovers Ills Wife, but Kot Ills Eloplnir $200. "I'm after him," declared J. B. Mobley. aged 73, whose 23-year-old wife had eloped with one R. Ripley. "My wife and I lived together for many happy years, and never until that man Ripley came Into our home did we have any trouble." Mrs. Mobley and Mr. Ripley are both confined In the City Jail, and will be held on a local charge until warrants can be sworn out that will take them back to the State of Washington, where they both lived before the trouble commenced. J. B. Mobley owns a store about six miles from Vancouver. Ripley owns a store near by that Is In competition with the one owned by Mobley. For many years the two have tried to get each other's trade, but It Is only recently that the rivalry has entered so closely Into their family affairs. The charge made by the deserted hus band will probably be that of larceny, for he contends that his wife stole COO In cash before she left him, and that the man with whom she eloped Is a party to the crime. The old man and his son were at tbe police station yesterday afternoon. "Did you get the money!" was the first question they asked when they- entered the station. "Six dollars was all the money they had," answered the Captain, and both the Inquirers wore a look of deep regret. "Let me go and talk to her." said the younger of tbe two. "It may be that she will tell me what she did with the money." "Tea," asserted the old man: "they must have that money, and we must find out what they did with It nearly two hundred dollars. I tell you I can't afford to lose It." "How about your wife?" asked the Captain, noticing that the woman In the cat seemed to be a secondarcary 'consid eration. "Ob," said the husband, with a look of pity rather than of anger, "she Is a little bit crazy, and I can prove It by a hundred different witnesses well, by fifty anyway. She has crazy spells every so often, and I think that she had one at the time she ran off with Ripley. "I have always been able to control her when she had those spells.' continued the Injured Benedict, "until this last one. It was not her fault. It was all due to that man. He turned her head. I Just want to . get them both back home. I will prove what I am saying by fifty wit nesses. They all know; what I have been and what he has been. Why, he was the most worthless fellow In that part of the country. I cannot see for the life of me why she should want to go with him." These matters were of secondary con sideration with the son. 'however. "I will go and see about that money," he said, as he concluded his conversation with one of the detectives. "I will try and make her tell where It Is." "Tes, the money," said the father; "get that by all means." TELLS OF A CRUEL MOTHER Hungry and Cold, Little Mary Bell Seeks a 5evr Home. "My mother U so cruel that I couldn't stay any longer." tld little Mary Bell, who was brought Into the Pollen Station last night by Patrolman TIchner. The girl Is but 14 years of age. yet her face has the look of one much older. Her ragged clothes were soiled and dirty and she looked as If she bad had no care at home. Chief of Police Hunt was moved to pity by the story told'bv the little wait and placed her In, the care of thi Bora" and Girls Aid Society. "What doa your mother dor she waa asked. "Nothing, but stay at home," she re plied. "How does she make a living T" "I, have a brother that Is IS years old and be works and supports my little sister and myself." Questioned as to the treatment she re ceived at home the girl told a pitiful story of abuse and neglect. "We have but little to eat," she said, "and I am hungry all tho time. My brother docs not make very muoh money and wo cannot get enough to eat. "My mother whips me very hard upon the least pretense. There Is not a day paaees that I do not get a beating." "Does she whip tbe other children?" "No, she treats the other children pretty well. She does not like me as well as she does the others, and she never says a kind word to me." "Do you have a comfortable house to live lnr she waa asked. "We have three small rooms up stairs In a building at SS Shaver street." she said, "and I do not have enough bed clothes, to keep me warm at night." Policeman TIchner said that he had heard the conditions reported much as told by the girl, and the Chief promptly telephoned to the Boys' and Glrfe' Aid Society to come after the charge which rightly belonged to them.
