The high bridges across Sullivan's Gulch are now under the consideration of the city authorities. The bridge on East Twelfth street, which has been undergoing repairs Is now completed, and Is In good condi tion. The one on Grand avenue has. been closed to travel since last Fall. The one on Union avenue, over which the Van couver cars pass, is In bad ehape, but tho Portland Hallway Company has placed extra supports under It at Its own ex pense, so that it Is still safe and open to traffic. Property-owners in that section of the city have not arrived at any de cision as to which of these bridges is to be re-endowed. Steel bridges are wanted on both avenues, but the authorities Im agine that the property-owners will not care to indulge In so much luxury at pres ent, and they will have to decide where the first new bridge shall bo built The sooner they reach a decision, the better for all concerned. The line of the O. K. & N. railroad enters the city down Sul livan's Gulch, and Inspection of tho bridges shows that the bents under which so many trains pass daily are In much better condition than the other bents. This appears singular, but It Is supposed that tho steam and heat from engines has kept tho timbers under which they pass drier than the others, and so check the tendency to decay. Wur C. E. Holmes Is Unhappt. C. E, Holmes, the well-known news agent, was In a very unhappy frame of mind yester day. Some time ago he was offered for $300 a fifth Interest In the Stacy envelope sealing and stamping machine, a descrip tion of which was published In The Ore gonlan a few weeks ago. He refused the offer, and shortly after Mr. Stacy sold the fifth interest to some one in Portland for $500. The machine, which seals and affixes stamps to envelopes about as fast as a sewing machine makes stitches, has proved a great success, and now it Is re ported that an English syndicate has of fered $250,000 for Mr. Stacy's patent, and that he has declined the offer and has gone East to seek a better offer. Mr. Holmes has figured up that, by neglecting to accept a fifth interest In the machine for $200, he is out about $50,000; hence his unhappy frame of mind. Inventors are too often looked upon as cranks and bores, to be cold-shouldered out of the way as speedily as possible, and on this account people occasionally mls3 a good thing. Boxing Tonight.

Hume, a Chicago lawyer, has written to City Engineer Elliott to ascer tain the whereabouts of the wife and child of his brother, Harry C. Hume, who was employed In the City Engineer's depart ment in this city a few years ago, and who has lately died. He says Mrs. Hume's name was Tillie. but he has no clew to her whereabouts, and is anxious to learn where she and her child can be found. Harry C. Hume was In the employ of tho City Engineer here in 1S91, and then, went up the Willamette Valley to La Fayette or somewhere in that vicinity, and was lost sight of by his associates there. They remember of hearing that he had gone into the service of somo railroad company. They know nothing of the whereabouts of his wife and child. Any person knowing Mrs. Tillie Hume will confer a favor by informing City En Blneer Elliott where she can be found. "Where Dead Letters Come From. "We send a bundle like this back to the Postofflce every week or two." said George L Thompson, clerk at the Perkins, as he tied up a biff bundle of unclaimed letters. Tou see, there are any number of peo ple who do not live at the hotel who write their letters on our stationery either not expecting any reply or forget ting: to give their correct address. Those who receive the letters think they are stopping here and send their replies here, but they go in this bundle to the dead letter office. "Why do we let outsiders use our stationery? 'Well, it is a small matter, and we do not like to refuse them a sheet of paper and an envelope. It makes the stationery bill mount up in the course of a year." At this moment a man asked for somo note paper and was given it. After he had gone Mr. Thomp son said: "That man does not stop here, but he uses our stationery."

The .Chinese are credited with being a nation of traders, and all who do much business with them allow that the statement la correct A sample of their style of doing business was afforded In the purchase of a coop of Spring ducks from a Front street commission man yesterday. The ducks were young, tender and toothsome, and would weigh about 14 pounds each. The dealer knew they would be in de mand among the Chinese, as. In addition to their liking for ducks, he was aware that they will next week celebrate the anniversary of some Important national event The dealer -thought It might be the birthday of "Confuscius," as he styled the great sage and philosopher of China, so he put a good price on the fowls. Half a dozen of Chinese appeared. In quiring the price, and were told $3 per dozen. The ducks, he said, would make swift eating at 75 cents each, and no one would take them at that price except Chinese. The customers were equal to the occasion, and, after a few words with each other in their own language, dis played no anxiety to secure the ducks. Even the last-comer, a big "pussy" fel low with a red nose, which Indicated that he was a Judge of good drinking as , well as good living, looked contemptu ously on the little ducks and turned away. Finally one of the crowd offered $7 a dozen, another offered $7.50, and after a time a third offered $8, and then the bids were closed. The dealer, however, re fused to sell at this price, and finally, after all had started to go and returned several times, one, with an air of being robbed, offered $8.50 per dozen, and the tired dealer let them go. Then the Chi nese divided the ducks and the 50 cents per dozen saved among themselves and went on their various ways rejoicing. Cook's Excavating Machine. The large drag or scraper and the steam engine and tackle for operating It brought Into use by C. J. Cook for making the ex cavation for the basement and founda tions for tho six-story building, 200x100 feet which Is to be erected by Marshall & Wells, of Duluth. on Pine street be tween Fourth and Fifth, attracted much attention Monday. Hundreds of work men and others gathered about and watched the efforts made to get It to work right It did not work well Monday, and so was not operated Tuesday, In order that some changes might be made. Yes terday It was put In operation again, and a large number of people collected to ob serve It The tackle for hauling the scraper back and forth on the 100-foot length of the lot appeared to work all right but the scraper would not collect or retain the airt and It had to be hauled up the Incline over the wagons several times to fill a wagon. It is said that a number of such machines are working successfully In a cutting on the line of tho O. W. P. & R. Co., and some of the lookers-on concluded that, while the scraper might handle clean, damp sand well enough. It would not work In loose, dry dirt, ashes and rubbish mixed with sticks and scrap Iron, on which It was being used by Mr. Cook. He kept perse verlngly at work, but could not get the scraper to load wagons fast enough to keep them from being blocked and In the way of one another. Could he have heard all the remarks and suggestions of the spectators, he would not have been much benefited, but they were amusing to an outsider. If the plant is kept running until the dredge gets down to clean, moist earth, which will pack, It may prove a success. Mixed Assortment of Reptiles. A coop of frogs shipped from Mllwaukle to a dealer In this city yesterday formed a puzzle which not all the Johnny Crapauds and all the other frog-eaters In Portland could solve. There was a large number of reptiles in the coop, and they formed an aggregation which would have delight ed Noah when loading his ark. If he took on frogs. There were specimens of all the species of frogs known In Oregon and a similar concatenation of toads besides. The dealer was afraid of them, for he could not tell the frogs from the toads, and some who examined the lot said they were all frogs and others that they were all toads. One positive man, who said ho came from a "toad country," but did not say where. It was, insisted for some time that there were no toads In the lot but when a number of dark-colored, warty-skinned, broad-bodied Individuals crawled to the top he gave It up, and said they were surely toads. When twi light began to fall, the mingled piping, croaking, booming and other sounds which came from the coop was astonish ing, and would have required the genius of Aristophanes and the aid of the Greek alphabet to describe. The dealer decided not to sell any of the reptiles, but could not decide what to do with them, or where to send them, so all night, long they kept up a chorus of "brek, rex, croax, croax." Today they will be sent back to Mllwaukle, to restock that re gion, as the fellow who collected them evidently gathered in everything that looked like a frog and swept his county clean. Frogs are very good for those ac customed to them, but no one has ever yet been found who hankered for fried toads. Wht Woodlawn Has Narrow Street. A property-owner at Woodlawn com plains that there Is something wrong about First street In that town. The street railway, he thinks, has taken up 30 feet of it and left the street only 30 feet In width, and a section of the town plat has been deranged. Thus the blocks on which the schoolhouse and englnee- house are built are not where they ought to be. His communication to the City Engineer on tho subject caused no com motion In the office, as all connected with the department understand the whole business. First street is appears, is really only 30. feet in .width owing to a slip. It appears that after the townslte was platted and staked out, a new plat of one part was made, and, the old plat having never been filed, the section of which the plat was changed was just moved to suit It and the old stakes left standing. It may puzzle some to Imagine how a tract of land could be moved and the stakes driven In It left standing, but engineers make nothing of such trifles. and if in the deal a 60-foot street gets compressed Into a 30-foot one, the prop erty-owners have to put up with It Boxing Tonight.

Superln tendent Donaldson, of the street-cleaning department finds It difficult to keep his men and plant busy these days. The fre quent showers render it Impossible to keep tho streets clean, so he says he is put ting in the time waiting for It to stop raining, so that he can commence sprln kling the streets.

Too Mant 'Steenth Streets. A stran ger who was endeavoring yesterday to find his way to the residence of a friend by depending upon the street signs on posts at corners came to the conclusion, as he said, that there were too many ,'steenth streets in . the city. The strips of tin, tacked to electric light and other poles at intersections, which once bore the names of the streets, have become .so generally bent battered and defaced as to be of but little use. The matter of pro viding new and better ones has been discussed by the authorities several times, but It has apparently been Impossible to decide wfiat kind to procure, and so none has been purchased, and the old ones keep on getting , worse and worse. As there are not a few 3trangers visiting the city these days, and as there are likely to be many more coming here within the next few years, it Is probable that the matter of street signs will soon bo up for dis cussion again. Had Two Brothers on the Coast. Joseph Huntington, a notice of whose death in his 73d year, at 5 Derby Park, Rock' Ferry, Liverpool, England, appeared in the columns of The Oregonlan yester day morning, was the oldest brother of Thomas Huntington, a well-known old time resident of this city. He had also two other brothers on this Coast formerly engaged In the plastering business in this city. One of them, Edward, has been for the past IS years a resident of San Fran cisco, and the other, John, for 20 years was in business In Tacoma and put up many of the principal buildings there, In cluding the Chamber of Commerce. He Is now on the Yukon, where he has been a resident' of Dawson City for the past six years. The notlco of the death was sent direct from England to The Oregonlan, probably In order to Inform his brothers of their loss. Baseball Todat 3:30. Baseball Todat 3:30. Baseball Todat 3:30.

Beggar's Career Quickly Ends. James Murray worked a little too hard at begging yesterday, and so ho was given a ride to the municipal boarding-house. He solicited six persons on one First street block yesterday afternoon, and his labors were rewarded In a way he did not like. "I just asked a chum or two for a drink." said he. "I'm a steamfltter by trade." Captain Gritzmacher gave him a stony glare. "If you're a steamfltter, why are you asking for drinks?" As Murray had 50 cents In his pocket he couldn't make the "starving to death" excuse, and wa3 locked up without fur ther parley. Will Improve Upper Albina Car Service. A gang of 25 men Is laying a new double track on Montgomery street from Eleventh west to Sixteenth street The present double track ends at the turn at Eleventh and Montgomery, and many minutes have been lost In" waiting for ono bar to get off the single track. Now the Upper Albina cars may proceed to the end of the line without waiting for the car ahead to get out of the way. The City & Suburban expects that this im provement will cut several minutes from the time of the cars on that line. Blind Letter-Carrier's Benefit, June 3. at Marquam Grand Opera-House.

ROBINSON'S NIGHT OUT. It Cansc.i Hi Companion Browne to Spejid Mslit in JMl.

Detter 01 tne affair and was willing to go on Browne s bond. This was a little too Irregular, however, so Rob Inson left the city last evening at 8:15 on hla way home to Crook County. Robinson and. Browne met one another Tuesday evening In a saloon. Robinson lost at dice and produced $20 In payment saying that was all he had. Then he In sisted that Browne show him the town, he paying all the bllla. It was oysters. carriages, wine and women until a late hour yesterday morning. When Robinson partially recovered, he found himself out $14, and, believing that Browne had made away with the money, went to the Dis trict Attorney's office and swore out a complaint Browne was arrested but pleaded that It was all a mistake. He called up friends in different parts of town and talked to them In half a dozen lan guages. None of them appeared with tho bond money, however, and so he spent the night In Jail. Robinson, meanwhile, had borrowed money to leave town, and as the complaining witness has left nothing serious can on uone to urowne WHERE TO DINE.

Gussle Humphrey Orlando Ida Jacket Jacques du Bo Is Harriet Anlceny Adam Sarah Browberser Duke Ruby Wags Beau Carrie Short Oliver Clara MacEwan Hymen Belle Morrison One of the most successful amateur en tertainments of the season was the pre sentation of "As You Like It" given last night at St Helen's Hall. The costumes were very gay and pretty, and of care fully studied pattern. Elaborate scenery was not attempted, but the background of richly colored draperies in the first scene and natural foliage of the forest of Ar den made an effective and pretty setting tor the picturesque costumes. Miss Ina Ray, as Rosalind, read her lines extremely well, and looked very lovely, both In her dainty court dress and in the brown and red she wore during her gypsylng'as "Gangmede." Miss Helen Chandler was a winsome Ce 11a, and Miss Myrtle Wilson, as Touch stone, received great applause for her hu morous reading and Irresistible make-up. Touchstone's costume was a motley com bination of various colored velvets, with Innumerable points, tipped with tiny tink ling bells. Miss Lily Banfleld. had a double part In the play that of Audrey and- of Amleus and did both extremely well. Miss Ban field's two songs, "It Was a Lover and His Lass" and "Under the Greenwood Tree," were sung with charming expres sion. Miss Juliet Dennis was Phebe. the shepherdess, and Miss Frances Feblger had the double role of Charles, the Wrest ler, and sllvlus. Miss Gusslo Humphrey did splendidly as Jacques, and Miss Ida Jaekel was a handsome and spirited Orlando.! , Miss Harriet Ankcny, as Jacques der Bois, and the priest displayed great ver satility. The difficult character of Old Adam was admirably represented by Miss Sarah Bromberger. Miss Ruby Wagg, as the two Dukes, wore striking and elaborate costumes of purple and green. Miss Carrie Short was Le Bean, and Miss Clara MacEwan had the difficult character of Oliver, and did It very ac ceptably. Miss Bella Morrison was a dainty Hy men. SP1TZXER VIOLIX RECITAD.

Nearly every seat in the Marquam Thea ter was occupied last night on the occasion of a recital given for the benefit of Charles Nevergall, a blind violinist, by pupils of E. O. Spltzner. assisted by Miss Hugglns, planlste, and Ferdinand Konrad, 'cellist About $250, It is thought will be realized from the recital, but the exact sum will not be known until all the accounts are balanced. The affair was well managed and tho committee which attended to the business details is entitled to congratu lations. Other concerts this season, and the one preceding, with a like worthy ob ject In view, were not so 'Iberally patron ized. Possibly no other child musician In this 4lty has met with such an enthusiastic responsp as that which fell to the lot of little Lucille Collette last night when she finished tho difficult "Air "Varie," by Vleuxtemps. It was astonishing how her fingers could stretch to the positions called for on the violin she Is such a small girl. She is quite graceful In her bowing, and her tone is a pure one. She mastered dif ficulties of execution that would have bothered many a violin-player, and if this little girl continues her studies and works as hard as she Is doing now, she will yet have a larger audience than Portland can supply. Cornelia Barker showed fine, finished technique In her two numbers by Stre lerskl and Spltzner, and it was a pleasure to listen to such a well-develoDcd tone. Victor Jorgenson played i.n air that most of the audience recognized Nessler's "Parting" and he Tias quite successful in his presentation. Fern Norrls solo. bercerse from Godard's "Jocelyn," was prettily played, and the mute was effect ively ussd. Philip Kamm, a small boy. played well In a Schubert number, and Minnie Hatneld's work In a gavotte by Popper was much appreciated.

Ralph Stuart and company will present the charming comedy, "The Highest Bid der," or the sixth week of his very suc cessful season at Baker's Theater. The admirers of this clever actor and thcir name Is legion delight to see him in a part that Is the prototype of himself, and Jack Hammerton, the hero of "The High est Bidder," fits him as perfectly as does Richard Hamilton In "By Right of Sword." As the bashful, rich and generous-heart ed auctioneer, he has opportunities to score in the most delicious comedy scenes as well as in moments of tender sentiment and self-sacrifice. His bashful attempts to manifest his affection for the beautiful Rose Thornhill are laughable In the ex treme, while tho serious declaration and proof of his devotion at the critical mo ment are evidences of the .most manly qualities. The plot of "The Highest Bidder," while Intensely Interesting, Is not Intricate or difficult to follow, and the complications that devolop are natural, while full of de lightful surprisea.
