Twelfth and Morrfwn VaudevUU. SHIELDS' PARIC, Thirteenth anl TVashlnt ton Vaudeville. Ok Guard Against Robbers. A young woman from a town In the Willamette Valley, who had come to the city to pur chase a wedding outfit, created a sensa tion yesterday in an establishment where cuch outfits are sold. She was accom panied by a friend of her mother, with whom she was staying and who, having attended to the outfitting of several daughters, had been requested to give the young woman the benefit of her experi ence. The young woman carried an orna mented and comfortably-filled purse tucked under or slung across her belt which was rather noticeable, but this did not trouble her. After several hours spent In selecting her outfit, the young woman asked for her bill. It was handed her and. Instead of taking the purse from toe belt, she asked to be excused for a rooment and stepped Into an alley. After strug gling with her skirts for a moment she raised them some distance from the floor and asked her friend to unclasp her gar ter, under which was fastened a much plainer purse than the one at her belt. In which neatly and compactly folded were several $100 currency notes. With these she paid her bill and then her as tonished friend asked what on earth she meant by carrying her money In such a place. She said that she had been warned when starting for Portland to look out for "hold-up" men and not to lose the money given her to buy her outfit. She had therefore placed her show purse with a little coin In it under her belt, in plain sight, convenent for hold-up men. and had placed her wealth in a place where no one would be likely to look for it. It Is hard ly possible that this style of carrying money will become fashionable among the ladles. Where Foresight Beats Hindsight. If people's foresight was only as powerful as their hindsight, many troubles might be avoided. This is particularly the case in the matter of improving a city. A case la point is the excavation now being made under the north end of the fine four story brick building of the Y. M. C A. Fourth street is now a nicely-paved street j In perfect condition, clean and neat. Owing to there being necessity for a base ment under the north end, half the con crete walk In front of this section has been torn up and loads and loads of earth were plied on the clean pavement to bo hauled away and partially distrib uted over other newly-improved streets. No one is to blame for this and there is no way of stopping It, but there are so many similar cases that It has become a by-word, that as soon as a street Is put In good order some one begins an excava tion in it The section of the Y. M. C. A. building under which a basement is now to be put was the first part to be built of brick, and was only two stories in height and as the association had no stock of liquors to take care of. a basement was not deemed necessary. A wooden building occupied the larger part of the quarter block, and this served all purposes for a number of years. Finally It was replaced by a four-story brick and the two-story . section, built before, was run up to four stories. Now It is decided necessary to tear up the cement walk In front and dig down for an area and to place better foundations and columns under the sec tion which was built higher. When the end of the excavating and hauling and scattering of earth required, will be done with no one knows. Ahe the Carp Gun.Tr? The sportsmen of this region charge the destruction of the wahpatoes and the disappearance of the canvas-back ducks, which used to. feed on them to the useless- and mud- wallowing carp. Some who have not so good reasons for despising the carp deny that thye are guilty. Among these is George Otten, who Imagines that he has practical proof of the carp's Innocence. Ho has a pond in his grounds in which he several years ago placed several carp and at the bottom of which he planted several wahpato bulbs. He has kept the carp there ever since and says the wapa toes have gone on Increasing all the time and now about cover the entire bottom of the pond, and he has never known his carp to molest them. He further says that he has taken pains to keep vege table food from the carp, so that they might not be deprived of any natural ap petite for wapatoes. Many sportsmen tall a different story, and have duck lakes formerly matted "with wapatoes and visit ed by thousands of canvas-back ducks, in which neither are seen any more. Hun dreds of farmers and fishermen can tes tify to the rooting habits of the carp and to their following the rising waters in flood time over the meadows and to their eating off the grass as clean as sheep could, and even pulling It out by the roots. Some pains should be taken to settle this dispute, but after all It could not get rid of the nasty, useless fish, nor would It bring back the canvasbacks, one brace of which Is worth a whole school of carp.

"INNOCENT" MAN FINDS LAW TOO SOLICITOUS JOHN Wilson found that the law Is romeUmes very solicitous of the -welfare of an innocent man. John Is the. youth who threw Fourth street Into a paroxylsm of excitement Thursday eve ning by sprinting away from, some police men to the accompaniment of a revolver fusillade. "When arraigned in Police Court he was charged with having called his sweetheart uncomplimentary names because she refused to give him J2.50. To this charge he pleaded not guilty and de manded a trial. The court found that In order to comply with this demand it would be necessary to put the case over for one day. Wilson appeared very averse to laying in jail over night. He said he wanted to take the first train out of Portland, and was perfectly willing to plead guilty to the charge, although. In fact, he was not In any way guilty. "We are willing and anxious to have you leave." said the prosecuting attorney solicitously, "but we would not for the world have you depart with any unjust aspersion over your head. Since you are so Innocent, I think. Mr. Wilson, that you had better remain the city's guest until this matter Is sifted to the bottom." "But." muttered Wilson, "I'm sort of guilty anyway and maybe we had better lot it go at that. You see" A very sudden and unceremonious tug at the prisoner's collar and the shutting Joke Turned on Joker. Not every one, even among native-born Americans, can give or take a Joke properly or under stand where joking ends and something else begins: but one who attempts to joke with foreigners who cannot under stand or speak his language well treads on unstable ground. A case of this kind was noticed at noon yesterday when a man who is accustomed to Joking every body came across a dozen laborers, who had been repairing the Southern Pacific ! track at the head of Fourth street, and were sitting along the curb under a row of trees eating their lunch. Each had a loaf of bread, a good-sized hunk of solid looking and loud-smelling cheese, and a couple of eggs, with a pinch of salt wrapped up with them. The fact trfat they all appeared to be Italians did not deter the Joker from his favorite amusements. And he remarked to them: "You fellows appear to do nothing but eat. I came along here yesterday at this time and you were all sitting here eating. I fear you eat to much." The men stared at the speaker. and the Jaws of most of them stopped ! wagging, and as they looked from one to I another it was evident that they did not understand him. The joker looked con-i fused. At last a man In the end of the line ( who looked like a cross between Italian and Irish, and had the Instinct of the latter for a Joke, said: "We have been re- ! pairing the railroad track and are having . our lunch. A bit of bread, some cheese ; and two eggs is not too much for a lunch for a hard-working man with a healthy j appetite, but It Is rather dry, and we have no money to buy a sup of beer to quench our thirst." The Joker saw the Joke was on him. and tossed a quarter to , the youngest of the gang, who, although ', he knew no English, knew enough to ! take It and a tin bucket and start for the nearest beer shop. When the Joker came back on his way down town the bucket was empty and the men lay stretched on the grass along the curb or braced against the row of trees, oblivious to the honey dew dripping down, each puffing away J contentedly at a strong-looking pipe. The ! hybrid Irish-Italian was particularly com- j for table on a board laid on a pile of i brick. As the Joker passed on puffing at a j cigar he quoted from a famous poet: ' Sublime tobacco, which from East to West. Soothes the tar's labor and the Turkoman's rest. Divine In hookah, glorious In a pipe With amber mouthpiece, yellow, rich and ripe. Why , Contractors Do Not Bid. An old-time contractor for street work com plained yesterday that The Oregonlan had voiced a complaint of city officials to the effect that there were not enough contract ors in the city to take care of all the im mense amount of street repairs and im provements. He said special attention had been called to the fact lhat for three large contracts, proposals for which had lately been asked for, only three bids had been received and It was Intimated that there was collusion among contractors to put up the price of work. He said that so few proposals were received because most of the jobs had been bid on three weeks be fore, and the bids were not accepted be cause contractors would not do the work for nothing. They were not doing street Improvements for less than the work was worth; they would be foolish to do so and It would also be dishonest, as. If they did, they could not pay their men. In one of the cases mentioned, the improvement was in a thinly setUed district where prop erty was cheap, and where a lot of heavy fills were to be made, and the contractors had good reason for believing that the property was not good for the cost. There Is no doubt that contractors would take all the work offered If they could get what they deem sufficlenUy high prices, but Just how much Is a proper price for the work. Is a matter that must be decided between them and the city officials, who wish to protect the Interests of property owners. Deer in Southern Oregon. A sports man Just returned from a highly-successful hunting trip to Southern Oregon, hav ing killed his limit of deer, says that region is alive with hunters, many being from Portland, and that since his return he has met a number of people preparing to start Tor different districts In the southern- part of the state. They will all be welcomed, as residents of that region have no objection to legitimate hunters sharing in the sport there. They attribute the Influx of hunters to several notices In The Oregonlan of the increase in the num ber of deer during the past few years, since hunting for the market and, worse hunting for the skins alone, was stopped. They say there is plenty of deer to allow everj decent hunter coming there his limit of five without any danger of destroying the herds. They will, however, use every endeavor to prevent the scandalous work of the skin hunters, of whom there used to be a considerable number all over Southern Oregon. These hunters killed from 100 to 200 every Winter for the skins alone, for which they received '$1.50 to $2.25. Had they been allowed to continue their shameful work, the deer In that part of the state would long ago have been practically exterminated. Astoria Regatta. For this occasion the A. & A. C R. R.

Thnmss MrKnv .Tnhn Johns. Thomas ! Hollen and Richard Roe. each with a beard, and not one of them denied the charge drunkenness. With one exception they pleaded guilty and become silent. The exception was Johansen. a lumber man. "Onct a tree fell on me shoulder and every time it pains I take a drink or two to ease it up a bit." he explained, casting a longing look across the street, where a luminous brewery advertisement appears. He escaped with a sentence of five days, which was the same portion dealt out to his silent companions. ALFRED Baumgartea's new process of hustling guests for a lodging house occasioned his appearence in the prisoners' docket. With full realization of the fact that enterprise is a business necessity, the police had refused to fall in with Baumgarten's somewhat bellicose methods. They arrested him after he and Jack Miller, a prospective guest, had sought each to eliminate the other at the Union depot. Miller, too, had been taken Wrong Kind of Vacation. Everybody who can get away is off to the moun tains or the Coast, and the only consola tion for those who cannot take a vacation is that nome who do go find the trip no picnic. There arrived in town early in the morning a day or two ago a lawyer just back from a trip to Coos Bay by sea, whose bedraggled, emaciated and discon solate appearance Indicated that he had not enjoyed himself every moment of bis absence. He explained his condition to a friend by saying that he had a pleasant trip down the Coast and he was able to take a seat at the table every meal, but at Coos Bay neuralgia attacked him, sometimes In his head, then In his back and next In his feet, and finally, after wandering all through him like a wireless telegraph message, went out at his finger ends. This Interfered sllghUy with the pleasure of his sojourn at Coos Bay. but he did not know what trouble was till he took passage for home on the Alliance with about CO other passengers, and was berthed in a stateroom with a preacher. The sea was not smooth and both he and his roommate became seasick. The preach er was able to get out of his berth, and rush on deck night and day to vomit over the side, but for 4S hours he lay wrapped In his overcoat In his berth, retching and vomiting till his heart strings were fairly snapped and his feet swollen so that his shoes could not be taken off. His suffer ings were Intense and he came near starv slng, not being able to get to the table or eat anything brought to him till the Alliance had crossed the bar of the Colum bia. He lost six pounds weight In the two days and became resigned to fate arid rather anxious that the steamer should sink. He says Coos Bay is flourishing and prosperous and every one there has money. He did considerable business during the part of his stay when he was able to get j around and he would like to go back, but not by sea. Death of Miss Cecil Grat Carner. Miss Cecil Gray Carner died at the Good Samaritan Hospital last evening after an Illness of two months. Miss Carner was operated upon several weeks ago for per itonitis, but tuberculosis complications arising, her life could not be saved. She was well known among the young people of the city and her quiet and lovable dis position, together with her untiring devo tion to her studies, won her many friends among her classmates and teachers. She was graduated from the grammar grades of the Park school In June. 1S01. and at the time she was taken ill was a member of the 1901 English class of the Portland High School. She was born at Freeport, Wash., June 20, 1SS6. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Carner, of Port land and Castle Rock. Wash., and sister of Elona, Hal and Vernon Carner.

Chairman Chopin, of the promotion com mittee of the M. A. A. C carnival, yester day sent out several hundred thousand stickers to the smaller towns of Oregon, Washington and Idaho that will not be reached by the poster advertising contem plated by the carnival management. This gives an Idea of the scale upon which the Merchants and Manufacturers' .Carnival Is to be advertised. The large posters In press will be sent to all the larger towns In the Pacific Northwest States. Several new features were hit upon by the special attractions committee yester day, and If there Is no break inthe energy of this committee the Council will have to be petitioned to set aside a dozen more streets to accommodate all the attrac tions. Everything contemplated for this carnival Is planned upon a scale not hith erto attempted, as It Is proposed to make the show this Fall the biggest and best ever given in the Pacific Northwest. The reports of the phenomenal success with -which the Jabour show is meeting In the East Is received with much satisfac tion by the carnival committee, as this will be one of the central attractions. The Jabour show, according to all newspaper accounts, has undergone such a transfor mation since it was last on the Pacific Coast that Its former friends will not be abie to recognize It. It Is said that the Jabour show Is today the strongest carni val attraction on the road. PERSONAL MENTION. O. T. Denlson. a banker of Mason City, la., is at the Portland. B.

ES CAPES CRUEL FATHER Arthur Lnca Works His Way From Nebraska v Portland. To escape the persecutions of his cruel father, Arthur Lucas, of Fremont, Neb., traveled to Portland, where he was ar rested Thursday evening for being on the streets after hours. The boy, who is but U years old, faced Judge Hogue yesterday morning In the Municipal Court. After hearing the youngster's tale of woe, the court gave him Into the care of Officer H. H. Hawley, of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. As he says he Is willing to work In order to get an education, he was placed In a family where he will be given the opportunity. The story which the boy told Judge Hogue was that his father was a gambler and speculator, who, wheneer he lost, came home and misused his own child. Unable to stand the treatment any longer, Arthur left Fremont three months ago and rode to Portland. Boxcars and brake beams were his favorite modes of travel, but he declares that he worked for every thing he received. As the boy dld'not look like a professional young tramp, he was given a chance to gain an honest living. COMING ATTRACTIONS. Amateurs Were Great. The amateurs at Shields' Park last night were, about the limit and no mistake. The first to appear was a sllly-looklng youth, who attempted to do a monologue. He had scarcely opened his mouth to speak when an apple came whizzing down from the balcony, and Mr. Monologulst took to the woods. The next number on the amateur list was a tall young lady, who wore a blue waist, a short skirt and a determined look that was changed to a most scared expression as soon as the gatllng bat teries of the audience were turned loose. She first gave an Imitation of a child re citing Mary's Lamb, and then she gave an imitation of herself singing. The audi ence demanded an encore, but she devel oped symptoms of cold stove In her pedal extremities, and would not make a bow. There were several "other numbers on the aftermath programme. This week's excellent bill closes to night, and the new one begins tomorrow. Julian Rose Another Week.
