THE BAKER THEATER TontEtot at 8:15, Baker clock company In "A Glided FooL" SHIELDS' PARK Tonight Summer vaudeville, s p. a. Methods of Street Fakers. A well known business man who was standing: In the crowd collected by a noisy wind-jamming- faker, who was selling pewter spoons Saturday, waa asked by a friend what he was doing there. He said he was simply trying to And out how such a fel low attracted a crowd. He found that It was simple enough after a nucleus had been gathered, as all that was necessary was for the faker to keep on talking and people would stop to seo what was going on. In order to start a crowd, tho faker resorted to some silly trick such as pre tending to hypnotize a boy, and letting him stand holding out a box In which had been put a sheet of paper. In this It was protended that a dime had been wrapped, and tho dime would have disap peared when the box was opened. Then he would begin to talk any sort of foolish ness and tho crowd would .Increase. The box would not be opened, as there was no hurry, for the dime was not In it and It could be opened any time. Finally, af ter two or three confederates had worked through tho crowd and communicated with tho faker, he brought out his stock In trade, which pn this occasion was spoons, and proceeded to dispose of them with a prodigality which showed that he believed In the theory that a "sucker" Is born every minute. Tho number of swindling fakers on the streets is in creasing and from the crowds they col lect and hold any one may be excused for Imagining that there are plenty of Idle men and suckers In any city. Outlook op Fruit Sctplt. The most Important questions of the day to house wives are tho price of sugar and what kind of fruit to put up or preserve for "Winter. Bugar is a little higher than is pleasing, and the fruit question Is mixed. Strawberries have not been in the best condition for canning, as the hot weather scorched them, and tho wet weather which followed started them in decay, and but few have been preserved as yet, but fine, firm and ripe berries are hoped for this week. Some nave tried preserv ing apricots, which have been plentiful and cheap, but the result has not been very satisfactory, though a pound of sugar to a pound of apricots does im prove that rather Julceless and tasteless fruit. Apricots raised here and not picked until quite ripe are rather nice, but those picked before ripo and shipped a long distance are not desirable. The peach crop of Southern Oregrfh is almost a fail ure on account of a eharp frost on April 11 and 12. when the trees were In bloom. There will be a fair crop In Eastern Ore gon, and probably plenty coming in from California, which will be in good condi tion, as peaches must be picked before dead ripe and can be shipped some dis tance while ripening without 'spoiling the flavor. As to cherries, there will be plenty, but it Is too early to tell about berries yet RnconD op Stheet akd Bridge "Work. Tho record of all street estimates and work, including the dato&of every street Improvement, by whom made, when ac cepted and the numbor of the ordinance. In short everything- connected with street improvements, which Is kept In the office of the City Engineer, has not been kept posted, for the past year or two, on ac count of scarcity of assistants in the office. This matter is now to be attended to, and City Engineer Elliott has put j jerea eirco, a new attache of the office. In charge of it. He has also opened a record for bridgo repair work, in which will be kept an account of all work done to bridges, their location, length, hciarht, what has been done on them, number of bents, record of every new stick added. etc, bo that when workmen go to a bridge to make repairs they know Just where to look for decaying timbers. Such a rec ord has long been needed, but has never been undertaken. Dogs Leap for Freedom. Locked in his master's office when he wished to leave. Patsy, the big Irish setter of Colo nel David II. Dunne. Collector of In ternal revenue. Jumped from the window of tho Federal building yesterday after noon and landed upon the street 25 feet below. No bones were broken, but the dog was taken to a veterinary hospital, where he was found to be badly bruised. The window from which the dog Jumped faces the north side of tho Federal build ing. Below the window is a wide cement sidewalk, but the dogr cleared the side walk and landed upon the unpaved street. To this fact Colonel Dunno owes a live dog instead of a dead one. Patsy Is a dog of pedigree, being the son of Beau! Brummel and Lady Jane, two well-known Irish setters. "Want Morrison Stheet Paved. Busi ness men on Morrison street below Fifth are still wondering when the pavement there Is to bo put In order. They say It Is a shame to have to pay rent with such a street in front of their places as Is there at present. The repair of the street has been put off on one pretext or another until they are tired, and they are now told that tho pavement will be put to rights as soon as the street rail way company has laid heavy grooved rails. The rails are not forthcoming, and from all they can find out. the ore for the Iron to make them has not yet been mined. Not So Hot in Arizona. Dr. Franklin Cauthorne. for years a practicing physi cian in this city, but who for the past three and a half years has been in Ari zona and New Mexico, has returned to Portland to remain. He eays the heat in Arizona is not so trying as many imagine. 112 or 115 degrees in Tucson not being comparable to 90 degrees in Portland for discomfort, and there aro only two propo sitions connected with that region, one is as a health resort for people from the North and the other as a mining country.

A collision of a bicycle with a dog on the Fourth-street bicycle path a day or two ago furnished amusement to all "behold ers, though not particularly enjoyable to either of those directly Interested. It waa early In the morning, and a very stout, plump lad of IS was coming down the path on Fourth street on his way to work. He was driving his wheel at the highest possible rate of spid. As he wan approaching Market street two dogs, a long, lank one. and a tiny little flee, came down that street and crossed Fourth, tho little ono In the lead. Just as the lit tle one had crossed the bicycle path and the long one was extended across It they espied a cat on a fence near by, and stopped to decide what to do about at tacking her. The approaching bicyclist rang his bell violently and whistled and shouted, but the dogs were busy consider ing the cat question and paid no atten tion. The bicycle struck the long dog amidships, rolled him over and "over, and then rolled over him, and then turned a complete somersault. The rider became excited and let go all holds. After gyrat ing a wnile in the air he landed on hands and knees and slid along a few yards before coming to a stop. The long dog lay und howled for a short time, but when the bicyclist recovered his feet and his wheel and rode off the dog got up and started off, still howling. The little flee went In another direction and looked back over its shoulder to see what had caused all the trouble, while tho cat climbed a tree out of sight, and a spectator sat down on the curb, having laughed so hard that ho could no longer stand. He would have willingly paid $5 for a photograph of the scene, until a man came along who told him about seeing a young woman go through Just such a performance by run ning over a dog which "was being driven by a boy in a tin wagon. Now he wants a photograph of that. The Craze for Rakpia. A "raffia crazo" is the latest fad which has cap tured Portland. Nearly everybody Is manipulating raffia, and raffia parties, where the workers In raffia meet, make braid for hats or weave baskets and com pare notes and their work, are common. So many hats have been made of raffia braid that many of tho milliners now de cline to sell braiders" wire frames on which to form their Hats. It was stated a few days ago that only two milliners in the city would sell frames for this purpose. The baskets made frpm raffia are much neater and prettier than those made by the Yakimas, Klickltats or Apaches from grass, grass roots, cedar roots, etc., and the manufacture is not difficult, though rather tedious. For tho benefit of those who do not know what raffia Is. It may be said that it is a fiber which comes from Madagascar and Is made from leaves of tho raffia palm. Ono of these leaves or fronds is often 50 feet in length and has SO to 100 leaflets along the main stem, from two to Ave feet in length. From the under side of these leaflets a skin is peeled off in strips without breaking, which, when dried. Is the raffia fiber and is of a light straw color. This fiber has long been used In Europe in the manu facture of fancy baskets. In America it has been used to a limited extent In the manufacture of hats, but principally for tying vines, flowers, asparagus and cel ery plants and in grafting. It is as sofU as silk, strong, and Is not affected by moisture or heat, so as to risk cutting or wounding the most tender plant, and It does npt shrink or ravel when folded or knotted. Tho natives of Madagascar, where there Is an Inexhaustible supply of raffia, use it In manufacturing rugs, etc Catholic Foresters Convention. The biennial state convention of the Catholic Order of Foresters will open In the hall df the order. Sixth and "Washington streets, tomorrow morning. Delegates from all over Oregon will be in attend ance The questions which are to be dis cussed are a readjustment of rates for in surance of members and tho election of a delegate to represent the Oregon branch at the International convention to be held in Dubuque, la., next August.

Cook's three-story building at tho southeast corner of Second and Oak streets, which has been leased to a Chinese Arm, will all remove to the build ing being erected by Messrs. Cook at First and Oak streets. They say it was the leasing of ono building to Chinese for a term of years which enabled them to erect the other building. This will give their tenants a better location and bet ter accommodations, and the corner of Second and Oak, diagonally opposite the police station, is a good location for Chi nese. The cost of moving to the tenants will be reduced to a minimum. For in stance, the wall of the second story of the old building will bo broken out to enable Baltes to move his printing office plant, presses, etc. right across into the new building, which will make a short Job of it Not Drunk TVhen He "Was Injured. The statement that George Haverkamp was drunk when his foot was acldentally crushed in tho Southern Pacific yards on May 2S is denied by the man himself. Dr. Zan, the City Physician, who amputated the foot at St Vincent's Hospital, states that when he first saw Haverkamp about an hour after the accident, the man was only semi-conscious In consequence of the shock, but showed no signs of intoxi cation. Haverkamp admitted then that ho had had a few drinks, but denied that he was intoxicated.

Andrews & Co. SAD MISHAP TO TWO MEN Moarntul Manner In TVhlcli Thej- TVcre Separated From Their "Wives. The not unusual circumstance of trou ble with the electrical machinery and the shutting off of tho power on a street railway ror a while yesterday morning caused a world of trouble to two married couples, and brought about the separa tion of both couples for the day. The two are neighbors, living near Good Samar itan Hospital, and both aro building cot tages at Clatsop Beach. They have been going down there every Sunday for some time to see how the buildings were pro gressing. They had been notified that tho houses would bo practically finished by Saturday night and they made ready to go down yesterday and arrange for settling with the contractor and taking possession. Two trains leave for Clatsop Beach Sunday morning, an excursion train at 7:45, going direct through, and starting back at 5 P. M., thus giving a long day at the shore, and a regular train which leaves at 8 A M., stops everywhere, arrives at the beach later and leaves for home earlier than the other. Tho two couples desired, of course, to tako the early train, so as to have a long day at the beach. Being aware that it was likely to be crowded to excess, the two men determined to be early at the station to secure and hold seats for them selves and wives. They all started from home together, the men telling their wives to go over from Marshall to Savler and Twenty-second streets and catch a car there, while they would hurry down to Fourteenth and Marshall, tako a car, and so get to the station In advance. They ware hampered with huge baskets of luncheon and various impedimenta, but reached Fourteenth street In good time. No car came along. They did not waste much time waiting, but pushed forward toward the station, arriving there somo 15 minutes before the early train left On their way they saw a car Idle on a track, and learned that the power was oft all over that district As they did not find their wives waiting for them, they nat urally concluded that tho power must have gone off before the ladles had reached Savler street and that they wero probably still waiting for a car. A hack man was at once dispatched under hurry up orders to bring them to tho station, while the husbands camped by their lunch baskets and waited. The hack got back Just before the train started, but the ladles had not been seen, so there was nothing to be done but wait till they ar rival and take the regular train at 8 o'clock. Both men telephoned to their houses to. find out if by any chance their wives had returned there, but they had not so tho wait for them was resumed and messengers dispatched in all direc tions to search for them. Finally the power returned to the trolley wire, the delayed street cars began to arrive, and the missing wives were expected on each, but never appeared. The men were near ly frantic by this time, and began to Imagine that all sorts of disasters had happened. As a last resort they endeav ored to secure a delay of five minutes in the starting of the train, but their wives continued not to arrive,, nor could any of the messengers sent out find any trace or information in regard to them. Final ly the late train glided out of the station and left tho two perplexed men and their iunch baskets on the platform. Then It dawned on them that probably their wives had caught a car at Savier street reached the station before the power went off, secured seats in the ex cursion train and gone on it It occurred to them also that it might have been wise to look through that train before it started, instead of concluding that tho women had been delayed by the stoppage of the street-cars. They had been so be wildered by the mysterious disappearance of their wives that they could not see straight but when It was concluded that they had taken the early train, the situa tion assumed a different aspect Finally one of the men received a tele phone message from the beach, which was couched in terms that blistered the poles as It passed and burned out all the connections on the line. It Informed the men that their wives were at the Coast and also that they were madder than wet hens, and wanted to know what the hus bands meant by such treatment This restored their serenity, and their domestic situations have resumed tho even tenor of their respective ways. ESTABLISH BRANCH Y.M.C. A. Union Meeting at Snnnyaide Raised -?2G0 for This Purpose. Subscriptions to the amount of $260 were secured last night at the union meeting held In the Boys' Brigade Ar mory at Sunnyslde toward tho estab lishment of a permanent branch of tho Y. M. C. A. All the churches of Sunny side omitted services last night to al low their members to attend the union meeting, and the hall was well filled. J. P. Newell, chairman of! tho commit tee In charge of the Sunnyslde branch, presided, and made a short statement as to what It was hoped to do. He said that a regularly equipped gymnasium, with baths, would be provided. Classes would also be established, and the Sunnyslde branch would also have the privileges of the main building on the "West Side at certain times of the week. W. J. Stan ley made an Instructive talk as to what Is being done for the boys In the Y. M. C. A. Ho was followed by M. M. Rlngler, physical director of the Y. M. C A. who told of his work and what Is "being done throughout the world by the associations. These advantages were to be within the reach of the Sunnyslde boys. TV. Y. Masters also made an instructive talk. M. H. Hamilton told what had been done in the Multnomah Boys Brigade building, where the brigade has been changed Into a branch Y. M. C. A. All the speakers spoko In high terms of the work carried on at Sunnyslde by TV. S. Nteley, almost alone Mr. Nisley erected the armory there for boys. E. P. McDaniels took the platform and In a short time secured subscriptions ag gregating J2C0. The sum of $500 Is needed to put In the equipments for the gym nasium, the baths and provide the read ing department The remainder of tho amount will probably bo soon raised at Sunnyslde.

Etbljro Palmer Perkins Carlyle Moore Morgan Thomas Delaney There's no friend like an old friend and that explains the rapturous bursts of applause and cordial curtain calls which greeted tho return of tha Baker Theater Company at Baker's Theater yesterday, la Its magnificent presentation of Nat Goodwin's popular success, "A Gilded Fool." At both performances every seat In the theater was occupied, and at the evening performance people wero content with standing-room at tho rear. The members of tho company ar rived early yesterday mocnlng fresh from their triumphs at Seattle, and there were many personal friends waiting to welcome them at the Terminal Depot "Homo again," said the theatrical pil grims. When the curtain arose yesterday aft ernoon at 'tho initial performance of "A Glided Fool," showing the handsomely furnished parlor of Chancey Short one of the newly-rich millionaires, there wasn't a soul on the stage. A chair lay sprawling on the floor, and one boot thoughtfully decorated the mantelpiece, and another boot lay on a chair. The room otherwise bore slight traces or dis order, as if a wlno party had been re cently in progress. Suddenly, Perkfns (Carlyle Moore, the popular stage direct or of tho company) In his capacity of valet to the millionaire, stepped In, and then came a warm round of applause, re newed three times. Mr. Moore stopped, as if astonished at the warmth of the welcome, and he began his. task of arous ing tho millionaire, telling tho latter that it was about noon, and that some friends were to call In one hour for lunch. Chan cey Short, millionaire (George Alison) was In bed in an adjoining room, and his bed could Just be seen behind the por tiere. After prolonged entreaty on tho part of the valet Short brilliant in a gorgeous night suit of white and red silk, sprang on the stage., A tremendous burst of applause greeted him. This was re peated when Howard Russell, "William Gleason, William Bernard, Bennett South ard, Ruby Miguel and Ethelyn Palmer came on in succession. Finally the cli max camo when Cathrine Countlss and Mlna Gleason arrived. The applause positively Increased In volume, as If a young park" of artillery had been let loose. The actors could not go on with their lines, and they had all to bow their thanks. George Alison gave a laughable picture of a young man who is suddenly raised from poverty to the possession of Im mense wealth. He wore an indolent, careless expression, and his faithful valet groomed him as If the young millionaire were a baby. He listened with a languid air, as the valet read the neglected cor respondence from various would-be pen sioners on tho rich young man's bounty. Short, millionaire, Is in love with Mar garet Ruthven (Cathrine Countlss), daughter of a rich banker, Matthew Ruthven (Bennett Southard), and sho is plainly tired of tho idle young man, who sends her expensive roses every day and weak, sentimental poetry. She flatly tells him so, and the villain In tho play. Bannister 'Strange (William Bernard) is hatching trouble. As Ruthven's "Wall street partner, Strange has secretly spec ulated with the firm's assets, and, of course, is a heavy loser. To cover up his tracks, he persuades Short to become a member" of Ruthven's firm, and the mil lionaire pays in about $400,000 as his cap ital stock in tho firm. But all the time Strange's actions are being watched by a Pinkerton detective, who masquarades as Rev. Jacob Howell, a bogus mission ary i William Gleason), and by Jack Du val (Howard .Russell). The crash comes, and when Margaret Ruthven learns of the trap set for Short she tells him she does not love him, in the hopo that he will not sign the fatal partnership papers. Tho financial trouble In which he finds himself awakens all the manhood In Short and he buys heavily on tho stock market at the right time, makes a for tuno and checkmates Strange The scene In which Margaret Ruthven delicately manages" to convey to Short that she loves him is about as pretty a bit of act ing as Miss Countlss has ever given. Mr. Bernard's work In the .last act when his air of easy affrontery changes to abject remorse, is splendid. All the members of the company acquitted themselves well. The two new members. Ruby Miguel and Ethelyn Palmer, by their excellent act ing, mado themselves favorites. "A Gilded Fool" is not all fun. There are real human touches in It where pathos and fine sentiment shine. The play is very well staged, and the furnishings" are artistic. "A. Gilded Fool" is a winner, and will be tho bill at Baiter's all this week. New People at the Empire Tonight. Last night was the last of the bill that has amused the large audiences that at tended the Empire Theater during the week, and to say that the endeavor to give to the people of Portland high-class vaude ville has succeeded is expressing It mildly, as everybody who saw the show pro nounced It first class In every respect and wondered how tho management could give such a performance at such low prices of admission. 'When asked. Manager Ba ker shook his head and replied: "The people demand first-class goods, no mat ter what the price may be and we Intend musical comedians do an act replete will be Improved from week to week as the season progresses." Starting tonight the new artists open their engagement World and Kingston are announced as the top-liners and if all reports are true, .they are an excep tional pair and will prove their worth. Mr. World Is- a well-known eccentric comedian, while Miss Mlndell Kingston is an accomplished and chic operatic sou brette. They will appear In a new and original vaudeville sketch. Wells Bros., musical comedians, do an act replete with new Jokes and new Ideas In the way of musical Instruments, while Andrews and Thompson, high-class operatic sing ing duo. do an act that is sure to "catch on" with the patrons of tho Empire. Of the old acts Hathaway and, Walton will do a new act entitled 'Who Won the Money." Hank Whltcomb. the clever Imitator, will appear in an entirely new bunch of Imitations. Blossom. Seeley and Blanco, In a new act, will introduce late coon songs and dances. Powers and dainty Dolly Theobold will appear In a sketch "The WIsa Kid," whllo Lester and Curtain, the great acrobats, will make you hold your breath at their marvelous feats. Last but not least the great American bioscope will show the following new pictures: "Diving at the Beach," "A Famous French Magician" and "Little- Red Riding Hood." one of the greatest moving pic tures in existence, that wasXimported from Paris by the bioscope owners. Contract let for M., O & TV. GUTHRIE. O. T.. June 2L Contracts have been let for the construction of the Missouri. Oklahoma & Western, char tered from Vlnlta, L T., to Denver, Colo., which is to run through the Cherokee and Osage Indian reservations and through Northern Oklahoma, within an average distance of 20 miles of the Kansas state line. GRANUIiATED EYELIDS. Murine Eye Remedy cures this and other Eye troubles, makes weak eyes strong; Skidds Vaudeville. The Dagmars, carrel-Jumpers. Hayes and Whitehead, piano-player and dancer. Kymer and Kent comedy sketch. John Welch,, .monologlst and dancer. Raymond "Whltaker and company, eketch artists. Eatelllta and Gabardos, singers and dancers. Illustrated songs. Polyscope. The cool and threatening weather yes terday acted as a deterrent to the open ing of Shields' Park, at Thirteenth and Washington streets, to the great disap pointment of the crowd, which had hoped to enjoy vaudeville out of doors. So, weather permitting, the park will be opened this evening. Rather than rlskthe distinction of his park being christened in a rain storm, Mr. Shields had his vaude ville performance in tha evening at Cor dray's Theater, and that place of amuse ment was crowded. Hayes and Whitehead's act is one of tho strongest this season. Hayes Is an expert piano player, and he rattles out tho notes at sight with the rapidity and correctness of a pianola. His friend Whitehead Is a good step-dancer. Tho barrel-Jumping per formance of the two Dagmars must be seen to be believed. They bound into and from barrels, as If their bodies were made of India rubber. They exhibit fancy rope skipping and tumbling and high kicking, but this is child's play compared with their feats of Jumping, blindfolded. Into and out of a series of barrels. John Welch is chief this week In tho humorous department and his dry wit will be appreciated. He has a funny way of slapping himself on his breast and then swaying his body. He caused laugh ter by giving a series of "tough" restau rant orders. In the act by Raymond Whit aker and company, the well-known poem, "Casey at the Bat" Is recited. Hymer and Kent start well in their comedy sketch, the former portraying a Kentucky Colo nel who is a moonshiner, and who is searching for his long-lost daughter. MIos Kent, of course, is the latter, ahd their act has an abrupt ending. Eatellita and Gabardon excelled in their entertainment, and their Spanish dance received warm applause. Their work Is graceful and ex citing. The two Illustrated song3 this week are "Way Down in Old Indiana" and "In Dear Old Illinois." Tho polyscope fur nishes attractive picturef,. Mr. Shields spoke a good word for the performance to be given at the Marquam Theater tomorrow afternoon, in aid of the Heppner sufferers. His vaudeville bill this week Is an interesting kne, and time will be well spent hearing It E. H. Sothern in "If I TVere Klnc." E. H.
