Just -whether there are any skylarks on the Ladd tract or not is a matter of Indifference to many, but still a large number are much Inter ested in the subject. All old residents -will remember the pains taken some dozen years ago to Introduce foreign song birds here and the liberal sum subscribed for that purpose. The skylark was one of the birds introduced, -with many others, Including nightingales, goldfinches and linnets. Some died on the long journey from Europe and some of the species have entirely disappeared. The skylark still remains, but does not appear to have In creased in numbers very extensively and linnets and goldfinches are seen occasion ally and heard more frequently about town. Not so many skylarks as usual have been heard this Spring, and it was feared that they had disappeared. Several have been heard a few miles east of the city, and one at least on the Ladd tract, where there used to be several. Some have not seen or heard any there, and therefore insist that there are none. E. J. Ladd, who is familiar with the song and the appearance of the skylark, having been reared among them and having seen them sold in the market occasionally for eat ing, the same as snipe, is of opinion that they stay here all Winter and knows that he has seen and heard at least one on the Ladd tract this Spring, but has only heard one at a time Instead of two or three, as In years past. In Nuttall's latest book on American birds, the skylark is mentioned as having been seen on the ex treme eastern point of this continent, but it is not classed as an American bird. It Is further stated that colonies of these birds have been planted at several places in the Eastern States, but that not one of them is known to be living. No mention is made of the larks brought to Oregon, but if they continue to live and prosper here it will be a feather In the cap of this state. ROSETHIEVES SEEN IK THE ACT. The love of money has been said to be the root of all evil, but the love of roses some times causes people to go astray, as was the case with two young women of re spectable appearance a day or two ago. On Twelfth street, between Madison and Jefferson, the grounds' about six of the residences are liberally supplied with roses of many kinds. At 4:30 in the morning a few days since the occupant of a bedroom in the second story of one of these houses heard footsteps on the porch, and, look ing out, saw two young women armed with scissors busily engaged in clipping roses. They had evidently visited other houses before, as they both had their dress skirts held up In front and a great lot of roses in each. The watcher at first thought of calling out, but, recognizing one of the women and realizing how mor tified she would be at being found in such business, said nothing, but watched them as they visited other houses in the block until they had all the roses they could possibly carry off. The owners of the roses had not been stingy, but give lib erally to all who ask. The cultivators of roses will probably have to bear half the guilt of such potty thefts on the ground of having led the sinners Into tempta tion. The young women will doubtless be sufficiently punished by learning that one of them was recognized. Confident in the Sunshine. The con fidence of the public in the genial climate of Oregon was shown by the crowds which thronged the cars early yesterday morning, traveling in all directions to picnic in the country. The sky was over cast and threatening, it had thundered heavily, and a slight shower had fallen. The wind was In the north and rather cool for comfort, but all had a fixed Idea that, even if it were chilly and the grass wet in the morning. It would bo fine in the afternoon, and hundreds of men, women and children In Summer negligee costume, straw hats, etc., carrying large baskets of provisions, rubber coats and wraps turned out to enjoy a day in the green fields and shady groves. The sight of Ice wagons on their rounds encouraged them, and the general idea expressed by them was that the north wind, even if it did bring a shower, would clear the at mosphere and the afternoon would be fine and warm. The Oregon climate seldom disappoints old residents. New Core for Rheumatism. A Port land letter-carrier, suffering from a se vere attack of rheumatism, decided to try what effect a hot. spring which had been recommended to him would have in driving out the excruciating pains of his disease. He returned home a day or two ago almost well. When asked if the hot baths had effected the cure he said they might have helped him some, al though they made him worse at first, but he attributed his cure mainly to dieting and phlebotomy. Surprise being expressed at his having tried such treatments", he explained that the fare at the hotel where he stayed provided one, and the fleas and bedbugs in his room attended to the other. He was not required to pay any thing extra for either. He imagines his cure is permanent. Women's Department Meets Today. The Lewis and Clark Women's Depart ment will hold an interesting meeting at 2 SO P. M. today In the Selllng-Hlrsch building. Major William Hancock Clark will give an address.

Plans for a complete system of sewers for the town of Hood Rh'er have been completed by Paget & Clark, of this city. The town site covers art area of three square miles, but only about one square mile is to be sewered. The system comprises one main outfall "sewer emptying Into Hood River with five main laterals and many smaller branches, some tent miles in alL The town of Hood River has a beautiful and sightly location on the river of that name near where it empties into the Co lumbia. There is a strip of bottom land, submerged at ordinary high water, be tween the Columbia and the townslte. which Is on land gently sloping back from the river, marked by many magnifi cent old oak trees. As Hood River has grown remarkably within the past two years and has now about S00O inhabitants. It Is much in need of sewers, and the citizens are anxious to have them built. The plans will be submitted to the City Council at once with estimates of the probable cost, and, if approved, a largo portion of the system will probably be built this Summer. As the townsite on both sides of the river Is being rapidly divided into small tracts of four or five acres each, the citizens look forward to seeing the whole valley changed Into a village which will be practically an ex tension of the town In a few years. Would Like to Stat Here. "Portland is the only place I have struck since leav ing home that I would like to remain in." This was the remark of E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., a horticulturist well known to most rosegrowers of this -city, who arrived here a few days ago on a tour of tho Coast. Ho had heard of the beauty of Portland rosed and the first thing he did after getting here was to look about town and visit some of the principal rosegrowers. He was fortunate in arriv ing just after the rain and so found tho roses in good condition. He was taken out by James Forbes to visit Riverview ceme tery and tho places of Charles E. Ladd and W. S. Sibson and so had an oppor tunity to see the best roses to be found in Oregon. He was delighted and said he had never seen such beautiful roses be fore, though he had traveled through Eng land and France when the rosea were at their best and had come through Southern California on his way here. Of Mr. Sib- 1 son's flowers he said: "I have never seen such a hedge of La Franco roses, even in France, and as for the Caroline Tes touts, the. man who originated that variety never had any such on his place." The foliage on the trees and shrubs in the cemetery and the vivid green of the grass Mr. Hill considered perfectly won derful. Sad Fate of Young Pheasants. The nest of a Mongolian pheasant with. 11 eggs in It was found a short time ago by a Chinese vegetable gardener a few miles from town, while he was breaking, up some new ground. As the eggs were al most cold, he concluded that the pheasant had been scared by his working so near her nest and had deserted it. He there fore took the eggs home and placed them under a hen which had commenced sit ting only a day or two before. In three days they all hatched out and, the hen, a great big black Langshan, "came off" with 11 tiny little pheasants and strutted proudly around as much as to say: "It doesn't take me all Summer to hatch out a few chickens." The little pheasants, however, appeared to think there was something wrong, and did not like their stepmother, and before they could be cor ralled two of them had escaped. The others kept the old hen so excited chas ing after them that in a few days she had killed them all by stepping on them. It is hard to tell whether the hen or thff Chinaman felt sadder over the loss of the little birds. Pheasants which make their nests too close to human habitations are liable to come to grief. Boxing.

No Evidence Thet Were Firebugs. Andy Latschelk and Earl Dean, who were arrested Saturday night by Officers Bar ter and Gabriel on a charge of arson, were released from custody yesterday by Chief of Police Hunt When questioned closely regarding their presence at the fire on the East Side, the boys gave a straightfor ward story, and tho Chief thought that the suspicion was not strong enough to warrant him in holding them longer. The fire was in an empty house and shortly af ter it broke out the boys were seen leav ing the scene. This aroused the officers suspicions and they promptly placed them under arrest. When questioned yesterday the boys gave a good reason for being In East Portland. They had Just returned from Hood River, where they had been picking strawberries, and, as the train was late coming in. they decided not to go home until morning. Accordingly they left the train on the East Side, and meant to find a place to sleep on the East Side. They were attracted by the fire and stopped to see the Fire Department work. Disease Ruins a Dairyman. Many of the neighbors of J. Thomas, who lives on T. Scott Brooko's farm, near Falrvlcw, are very sorry for the misfortune that has come on him. He was doing a pros perous dairy business a short time ago. but some pigs which he fattened were sold, some the neighbors say, to the concern he bought them of, and when killed were found to have tuberculosis, or at least were adjudged to have been suffering from that disease. The officials who look after such matters decided thai th.e pigs con tracted the tuberculosis from Mr. Thomas cows, ana tne nera, numbering loo or more, was examined and pronounced to have tuberculosis, and he was forbidden to sell or use the milk or to sell the cows, and has had to let them "go dry" and his business is ruined and he 1b nnan daily wrecked. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, who are highly respected and have- been industrious, hard working people all their lives, and who now, as old age is coming on, find them selves stripped of all their earnings, Cost of a Dish of Strawberries. The decline in the price of strawberries is like ly to prevent the recurrence of such troublo as occurred in a popular lunch room a day or two since. A patron who had ordered a dish of berries, price 15 cents, was disgusted when he found only 14 berries in it ana rather rudely tx- pressed his dissatisfaction to the young woman who waited on him. She was eaual to the occasion, and replied in ap proprlate language and finally told him to tzo to the proprietor witn nis com plaints. He was angry and stormed back into the kitchen to the proprietor. Though he never came back, it is taken for grant ed, from the loud talk heard and the vio lent, slamming of the street door to tho kitchen, that ho found the man he was looklntr after.

C Winn John Remington.. .......Den Brunaldo Kate Calvert Helen XacQrejr Jemmlna Jenkins ...Mary Home Lou Manning-.. ..Virginia Brlssac Haitle I.. Bertha Holmes Ralph Stuart began the last week of his present engagement this season at Baker's treater yesterday with a bril liant presentation of Bartley Campbell's domestic drama In five acts "The Vir ginian." the scenes of which are laid in Pennsylvania during l61-5, and at both performances the company was greeted with storms of applause and curtain re calls. Mr. Stuart has not made a more pronounced success this season than in so artistically portraying the God-fearing, law-abiding, pure-minded blacksmith, Vandyke Vernon. The drama was beau tifully staged, and In the last scene such a realistic representation of a snowstorm is given that it looked as if we were not In mild Oregon but in one of the wintry Dakotas. The house was crowded. The action begins by Vandyke Vernon, a blacksmith from Virginia, settling In the pleasant Pennsylvania valley, where lives Mrs. Kate Calvert (Helen Mac Gregor) whose husband, Richard Calvert (Priestly Morrison) is fighting in tho Civil War. A.woundcd soldier brings word that Calvert has been killed in battle and Mrs. Calvert afterward marries Vernon. Here the real human Interest and lovely touches of home life begin, with the do mestic felicity of Vernon and his wife. It is truly as pretty a home picture as ever was seen in this city. Calamity be gins, however, when drunken, fiery-tempered, abusive Richard Calvert turns up to show that he is very much alive, and that he wants his wife. Mrs. Vernon clings to her husband and little daughter. Instead of settling the difficulty by an appeal to the divorce court, aa might occur in one of our large centres of population, Vernon's honesty of purpose and probity shine like a Jewel. He will not appeal 'to the law but gives all his money to his weeping wife and departs. while the poor woman goes back to live with and be abused by Calvert. Fortunately the latter Is providentially killed by his horse throwing him over a precipice, and the Vernons are happily reunited. Miss MacGregor displayed great emotional power as the wife, and was so pathetic along with Mr. Stuart in the third scene that the handkerchief brigade was busy all over the house. Frank Camp showed surpassing ability as a comedian in playing the part of Ananias Glngle, a lawyer, and the humor was also kept up by Mary Home, Vir ginia Brissac and Ernest Van Pelt. The orchestra excelled in playing selections from Sullivan's "Pirates of Penzance." The same excellent bill all week. EMPIRE OPENS TONIGHT. Portland's Vaudeville Palace In Itcadlnc.ts for Gain Performance. Tonight tho long-heralded Empire Theater is to swing its doors open to the public and the advance sales at the box office foretell the gathering of one of the largest and most fashionable audiences that ever assembled in Portland. All last night the decorators worked in tho new temple of amusement, at the corner of Twelfth and Morrison streets, and this morning the last tack In the last strip of velvet carpet has been driven. and the last drapery hung- in artistic folds from the cornices that overhang the boxes. Th'e phalanxes of electric lights were carefuly tested and nothing but an earthquake can prevent a gala night that will be long remembered as marking the entrance Into Portland of the class of specialty entertainments that in Eastern cities continually requires the opening of more theaters to accommodate its patrons. under the guidance of Georco L. Baker nnd Calvin Heillg, under whose auspices the Empire will be conducted, the new theater has been so arranged that the Northwest nowhere contains its superior. and Charles Brown, of San Francisco, the booking agent for the circuit, has ob tained a continuous line of performers of whose ability to hold the Interest of t cultivated audience there can be no ques tion. While the advance sale of seats has been extraordinarily heav there are still few chairs left, both on the main floor and in the balcony, but it seems certain that the Empire will be opened with the wel come standing-room-only sign displayed in the lobby when the curtain rises at 8:20 for the first act. Mar j- Mannering at the Mnrqnatn This evening at the Marquam Grand Theater Portland theater-goera will have an opportunity of witnessing one of the most clever actresses on the American stage, Mary Mannering, of whom nothlpg but the kindest of criticism has been said, from the day she began her starring career. Miss Mannering was last seen here with her husband, James K. Hackett, some few years since in "The Prisoner of Zenda," and to this day she is remem bered and cherished In the minds of her legion of admirers a the "Beautiful Princess Flavia." Miss Mannering will be seen In Clyde Fitch's comedy "The 8tub- borncM of Geraldlne tonight and tomor row night. The company is under the management of Frank McKee, and is com posed of a most excellent cast of well known players including Anna Archer.

Next week the Baker Stock Company returns to Portland, and as its greeting will produce as an initial bill Nat C Goodwin's great success, "A Gilded F00L1 This charming comedy was last produced In Portland at the Marquam Grand, and Its unquestioned humor will Insure the Baker Company full houses during the first week of its return. The Baker Stock Company closed a phe nomenally successful season at the Se attle Theater, in Seattle, last Saturday night, presenting "A Gilded Fool" as its farewell production in the Puget Sound city. The company went to Seattle orig inally to play a season of eight weeks only, but, owing to a very evident popu lar demand, remained an additional fort night. J. P. Howe, manager of the Se attle Theater, endeavored to have the Baker Company remain still longer and was much averse to its leaving. But as Ralph Stuart closes his season at the Baker on Saturday, Mr. Baker was un able to comply with Mr. Howe's wishe and will bring the company home to play two weeks In Portland. The members of the company will then take a much-need ed rest until they open tho season next September in Los Angeles.

The dog is said to be man's most faith ful friend among the lower animals and often proves more faithful than many of man's own species. The dog Is also a friend of woman and is frequently made a pet by her and the affection intended to be lavished on her own children is, in ab sence of any, squandered on a canine. This sometimes leads to trouble and the breaking up of friendship between the owners of dogs. A case of this kind happened in the southern part of the city a few days ago which recalls a poem of Goldsmith's, about a dog which went mad and bit a woman. In this case the woman has still a sore band and the dog. is to be shot by a policeman at 9 o'clock this morning if justice does not intervene. The trouble arose as follows: A woman who has a pet dog which follows her everywhere called on another woman who had the same kind of a dog. They were seated near each other, each with her dog in her lap, presumably gossiping, when suddenly without warning, the visiting woman reached out and grasped her friend's dog by tho paw. The paw hap pened to be sore and the grasp hurt It. Naturally, the dog, without malice or aforethought, sunk his teeth Into the hand which held It. The owner of the bitten hand at once demanded, as some will think unreasonably, that the dog be killed. The owner of the dog demurred and as "love me, love my dog" is no Action, the friendship between the women ceased. This was a week ago and relations be tween the women have become more straned from day to day, tho bitten woman continually insisting that the offending dog be killed. The other woman at length, to end tho strife, consented and a policeman was called In yesterday to shoot the animal, while sympathizing neighbors placed their hands over their ears and their children wept. The policeman had Ideas of his own as to his duties' on Sun day and put off the execution till 9 o'cl6ck this morning. He says he thinks the dog was unjustly condemned and he will con sult the chief before he shoots it. CAN'T FIND A PICAYUNE. Bat Public Schoolboy Learnt Jlach of Eurly American Coins. A pupil of one of the public schools of this city who is making a collection of all the rare and curious coins he can obtain lately undertook to find a picayune. He could not And one, nor could he find among his acquaintances any one who had ever seen one, and some told him there never was any such coin any more tnan there was a "bit," or 12ji cent piece. Tho lad, however, kept making inquiries In regard to a picayune and has learned much. He has found out that the cur rency of the United States was not al ways on the settled basis it now is. that the Spanish used to own most of the silver mines and make most of the silver coin ana tnat Mexican dollars were current all over the world and as good as gold $20 pieces of the United States mint now are. He also learned something about greenbacks and sklnplasters. He found that up to about tho end of the civil war a small Spanish coin, a "real" of the value of 12& cents was current In many of the states. In some of the Southern and Western states lUwas called a "pica yune" and in othersla "bit" and In early days it was commoner than dimes In the west. In some of the New England states It was called a "sixpence," and some places It was called a "York shlll Ing." All the states had shillings in early days and their value differed slightly in different states. In Pennsylvania this "real," or some other small Spanish or Mexican coin was known as "flp" or flppenny bit and by tho same name in New Jersey and some Southern states. and two of these "flps" were equivalent to an old Pennsylvania shilling. These coins wero mostly old and had been worn smooth by long usage. In those days tallow candles were used by everybody and the manufacture of can dle molds was extensive. The pieces of tin stamped out in making the tops of such molds were about the size of the "flps"or "reals and not much smoother and were sometimes passed by dishonest people as such. Hence arose the saying in common in Pennsylvania when a person had de tected another In trying to cheat or fool him: "You can t catch me with tin flps, These are only a few of the things the lad learned In making Inquiries about a pica yune.
