Troubles op a Fishebman. Few "women care for the sport of fishing-. ; probably on account of the cruelty con nected with it when any fish are caught. The wife of a doctor who resides on the East Side and who is an enthusiastic fish erman, lately besought him to take her along one afternoon, that she mlehl share his sport. He consented, and as he had Den late in getting home they started erf in a hurry. When they were about nair way out to Columbia Slough he sud- acniy remembered that he had brought no cork floats along for the lines he Intended to use. He drove hack to the base of Mount Tabor, got the corks and then "Rhlrped up his horse and reached the slough in good time. The next thing was to catch a lot of minnows' for bait. This was interesting to his wife and she ren dered all the assistance in her power. In order to reach the best Tpool for minnows they had to crawl through a barded-wlre fence. He managed to do this, hut the wearing apparel of women is not con venient for getting through such barri cades, and she tore her clothes, scratched her arms and legs, and finally became fastened and could not move. Her hus band ran to her assistance and succeeded in extricating her, and then slipping in the soft soil, tumbled down the bank of the slough, pulling her after him, and both were bedaubed with mud. The minnows having been secured, he discovered that he had forgotten the fishing rods. He cut a cottonwood sprout and fished awhile to show his wife what sport it was, hut caught only one small bass which wriggled through his fingers and escaped. His wife I told a friend the next day that she never imagined that the doctor possessed such a vocabulary of bad language. Mvriads of Docks in "Mexico. A num- iber of sportsmen here are considerably Ipxclted by the accounts given in regard I to ducks and duck shooting in the interior of Mexico by Jose Moreno, a native of that region, who has been -visiting this Eity. He says that all the ducks which. I stop here on their flight from the breed ing grounds in the Arctic, or all that can Ibe lured by wheat, are not worth men Itionlng, in comparison with the flocks that spend the Winter in Mexico. He says the flight from the North which fol- llows down the coast, is nothing to the I flights reared In the vast region between the Rocky Mountains and Hudson's Bay land which come south along the line of Ithe Rockies and across the Salt Lake (region to Winter in Mexico. He says I that the great plateau stretching north 1200 miles from the City of Mexico and 1100 miles wide is one vast cornfield in which collect during the Winter all the J birds of passage from the North, lnclud ling wild ducks, geese, swan and sandhill Icranes, as well as robins, bluebirds and lothcr song birds. His home is near Lake IChapalcan, quite a large body of water. Iwhere duck shooting is carried on in primitive style and ducks slaughtered in lyrlads. Sandhill cranes stand In file 3etween the rows of corn and there are lousands of them. Several ardent sports- icn havo about concluded that if some Jplan cannot be devised for destroying the I carp so that duck lakes can grow their natural crops of wapatoes, weeds and Igrasses, and duck shooting preserved and the canvasbacks thus induced to return Sthey will spend a part of their Winters lln Central Mexico, which they think from Ithe stories of Senor Moreno must be a hunter's paradise. Making New Fiturrs. The production jf new and strange fruits by cross fertili sation has become a fad with many hor iticulturists of late, and so many new fruits are brought in from other countries that the markets are constantly offering something which customers are not fa- llliar with, and which has to be experi mented with before used. The latest thing cn this line is a new early cucumbeT. cantaloupe or vegetable peach, which has jeen evolved in California. It grows on vine, looks like a lime and is of the size of a lemon. When cut in halves it resembles a muskmelon, the center being uiea witn seeds. It also has a musk- lelon flavor, but aple made from it and rasoned with cinnamon and sugar was Dronounced by all who tasted it an apple jie. borne growers, however, are striv fng to perpetuate all the old and favorite varieties of fruits and berries, and to im- jrove vegetables. They are striving after feeedless watermelons, skinless potatoes. Ijodless peas, pltless cherries and things )f that kind, but will also strive to retain the sweetness and flavor of all the old tavcritcs in berries and fruits. Crawfish Becoming Scarce. The scarcity of crawfish in this market is com plained of by those who consider this Insect a delicacy. Some who judge too Inuch from appearances see nothing dell- Late in crawnsn. but when they are boiled In wine and seasoned with a proper as sortment of spices they are not to be feneered at. They used to be plentiful in ill the streams near Portland, especially in ine xuaiaun, ana Hundreds of boxes bould be obtained by dealers, who now. Ivhen they get one box of &) dozen, tele- pnene to several customers and divide them around. The price is now about- 4xi cents a dozen in place of 12A cents. ind crawfish are a costly luxury. A man f.rho is now a well-to-do citizen and manager of a laree insurance lays that when he was a boy he used to up tne creek back of town and catch Crawfish to supply Captain Ankeny. Prominent citizen of those days, who used to pay him 35 cents a bucketful for them Che demand for crawfish has been so treat of late years that they are row I'ery scarce, and in time will probably e exterminatea unless some protection 19 given them. Elevator Etiquette. The subject of blevator etiquette has received consider able attention first and last, but it has ict yet been definitely decided whether it Ed necessary for a man to take off his pat cn entering an elevator where there tro ladies or not if he would be consld- red a gentleman. It all depends upon iircumsrances, ana most do as they please tne matter. A young man who entered down-town elevator the other dav in hlch there were several young women ppcars to have peculiar ideas in recrard o this etiquette, as he promptly removed Ll5 Rat, but kept a lighted clgarotte in lis mouth, at which he puffed vigorously t:l the way up the shaft. From tht jcks of the young women it was evi- nt that they thought he would have dwn more politeness had he kept" his -t cn and taken his cigarette out of his icuth.

Recent mention of the disappearance of the J2.50-f gold piece from circulation and the pre mium this coin commands as a curio has set many to rumaging old pocket books and the bottoms of cash boxes and drawers in search of odd or out-of-date coins. Some have found a $2.50 piece, but not many. The $3 piece, once quite com mon, but (always a sort of curiosity, is oftner found, and many have specimens of the little gold coins representing 25 cents and 50 cents, which were not minted by the Government and probably have not so much gold in them as they represent. They used to pass as coin, but were never in general circulation, being so easily lost, that they soon became scarce. One . of the handsomest coin relics seen is a $10 gold piece bearing the mint stamp of 17S9. It Is larger than the present iu piece. The owner has it hung in a band and wears It as a charm on his watch chain. He calls it a "Washington" coin, but Washington died in 1799, so he prob ably never saw one of them. The owner is a sporting man and says he refused an offer of $150 for this relic The old octag onal $50 pieces were quite common In California in early days, when gold-dust was largely used as a circulating medium. They were made of pure gold, and while they had not the elegant finish of the gold coins minted by the Government in these days, many still remember them as the handsomest coin they ever saw. Many people now wouia consider mem nanasome on account of the $50 in them. Oriental. Luxuries in Boston. Young men who have grown up in Portland are not likely to take kindly to dishes found in Chinese restaurants or even to go Into such places to eat, which is probably why Merchand Davidson has returned from a trip East with a disgust for Boston people. He says he had a Boston girl for his teacher in the public schools and heard so much from her about the Intellectual at mosphere of Boston and so much from others about Boston brown bread and baked beans that he was always anxious to visit that city. He was sorely dis appointed, for he found that the Bostonese patronize a lot of Chinese restaurants. fitted and furnished with chairs and tables of teak wood, the same as are found in josshouses here, while the effigies of Chi nese gods with punks burning before them in a corner bore out the resemblance. These restaurants Mr. Davidson found to his gTeat disgust are frequented by the elite of Boston, who go there to Indulge in Oriental dishes, principally one known as chop suey, which, he says, looks like Italian macaroni or more like the dish of paste .cut in thin strips, which the txermans call noodles. It is smothered in what appears to be cocoanut oil, which is much used by Chinese In cookery. This mess the Bostonese eat with chop sticks and imagine they are indulging In Ori ental luxuries. Mr. Davidson was so dis gusted that he did not stop to see whether they Indulged in a "pousso cafe" of Chi nese gin, or hit the opium pipe after din ner or not. Portland Man in Paris. An Illustra tion In purple ink in the last number of the New York Telegraph shows Mark A. Mayer, of this city, a member of the firm of Flelschner, Mayer & Co., ac companied by two friends, standing by his automobile In the suburbs of Paris. Mr. Mayer appears if possible a little more robust than when last here, and the pic ture has no resemblance at all to that of Calus Marius among the ruins of Carth age. Mr. Mayer seldom visits Portland these days, being the representative of the firm In New York, where he has his headquarters. He la on a visit to Europe now, and in order to better enjoy Paris and be .able to see anything which es caped his gaze ln previous visits he has purchased an automobile and is taking his friends around. Some of the other members of the firm who cannot well get abroad and have no automobile look on the picture of Mr. Mayer enjoying himself just a little enviously. Discuss New Jewish Academt. An en thusiastic mass meeting was held at the Talmud Torah Synagogue, Sixth and Hall streets, last night, where the programme and necessity of the existence of the re cently organized Jewish Academy Chinuch N'orlm was thoroughly discussed. Rev. Dr. N. Mosessohn, chairman of the board of directors,, presided. Enthusiastic ad dresses were made by D. Soils Cohen, Rev. Dr. N. Mosessohn and Rev. A. Ab bey, tho newly elected superintendent. Ap peals weTe made by the speakers for the moral and financial support of every Jewish resident of Portland for this academy- At the close of the meeting5 lists were passed which resulted In the acquisi tion of several members. Committees were appointed to make an active canvass for contributions among the Jewish pop ulation of Portland. Thrown From a Srtreet-Car, A swerve of a car on the Fulton line last evening threw H. Wilson, who was stand ing upon the rear platform, to the ground with such violence that he was rendered unconscious. The car lurched as it struck a switch, and Wilson, who was not hold ing to the rail, was hurled from the side. He was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital, where he did not recover con sciousness for some time. His address is unknown. W. C. T. U. to Elect Officers.

WANT PURE WATER. McMinnvllle Has Employed Portland Engineer to Report on System. Plans and specifications for a gravity system of water supply for the town of McMinnvllle are being prepared by W. B. Chase, formerly City Engineer of this city. McMInnvIlle's water supply has been obtained by pumping from the Yam hill River, a few miles above the town, but the citizens desire to emulate Port land and procure water from a mountain stream at a point above all sources of contamination. Mr. Chase has been up to McMinnvllle several times looking over the situation, and has found that by going up Baker Creek a distance of about nine miles a bountiful supply of water, equal to that of Bull Run, can be se cured, at an elevation of about 400 feet, which will furnish a pressure adequate for fire protection. The estimated cost of bringing this water Into the city is be tween $60,000 and $70,000. Tho citizens will have to vote on the question of Issuing bonds for the amount required, and if it is decided to do this, McMinnvllle will before long have as fine a supply of water as can be desired.

La Comtesse do Baume .....Eleanor Haber Maria Dolores do Mendoza Lillian Kentfcle Inez de Mendoza........ Elsie Esmond Mencla , Delia Buckley A tremendous, ringing welcome met tho members of the Nelll-Morosco Company at Baker's Theater, yesterday on two per formances of Viola Allen's great romantic success "In the Palace of the King," a story of dagger-ridden old Spain in the year 1570. A brilliant, clever presentation of the play was given, and the company Is first-class in every sense df the word. The scenery and stage pictures are artistlq. The audience was responsive to a degree and they gave several curtain recalls, the scene which aroused the great est enthusiasm being the one in Don John's bedroom, where King Phillip H of Spam, stabs, and thinks he has fatally wounded Cardinal Luis De Torres, in the presence of Don John and his affianced wife, Maria Dolores de Mendoza. Ovations were tendered to Elsie Esmond and Charles Wyngate, who were two of the favorite members of the Baker Theater Company at the beginnlg of last season. Both have greatly improved in their art, particularly In clever poise of manner. At both performances every seat was occu pied. The play, taken as a whole, Is certainly worth the popular price of admission charged, and so sumptuous is the en semble that one respects the enterprise of the management The affair bristles with dramatic situations arousing breathless interest, but in the presence of so many swords, and daggers it is comforting to be assured that nobody dies a violent death. In former romantic plays it used to be the custom to have the chief villain say: "To the deepest dungeon with him. He will never see another sunrise. Thus passes a traitor who conspires against the Lord's annointed." But not so with "In the Palace of the King." Spanish grandees float about the stage, weaving top boots, neck ruffles and other portions of court dress of a forgotten age. The women shine in wonderful gowns. But about the action in the play. King Phillip (Mr. Oberle) sits uneasily on the throne of Spain, because the people make a popular Idol of his half brother, Don -John (Mr. Wyngate) and he fears that Don John may yet be King of Spain. The King is ably assisted In his dark schemes by the Princess of Eboll (Adora Andrews). Donna Dolores de Mendoza (Lillian Kemble, leading lady) though she Is -only the daughter of the King's Captain of the Guard, loves Don John and he loves her. The King wishes his half brother to wed Mary, Queen of Scots, for reasons of state, and tries to make Don John think that Cardinal Luis de Torres (Frank Macvlcars), cousin of DploreB, is tho girlS secret lover. In a quarrel scene, at which Don John and Dolores are also present, the King stabs the- churchman, and then asks Don John to say that he Is the, assassin. But It turns out that the cardinal was only wounded after all, the two lovers, Don John and Dolores are united, and every body is pleased. Elsie Esmond, as Inez, a blind girl, acts splendidly. Joseph Dalley, as the court fool, was sardonic and clever. So was cruel King Phillip, Mr. Oberle. He gave a strong, malevolent portraiture. Mr. Wyngate was never more heroic or more manly than In play ing Don John. Lillian Kemble is one of the handsomest, gifted actresses who ever played at Baker's, and she will speedily become a great favorite. She divided the applause with Mr. Wyngate. Adora Andrews was sinister, cruel, vengeful, cringing by turns, and her acting was strong. The orchestra played selections of pretty music, among the pieces being a selection from "The Chaperons." "In the Palace of the King" will be played all week. 3 SHIELDS' PARK CLOSED. Last Open-Air Vaudeville Perform ance of the Season Given. In spite of the weather, which was so cool that the breath of the performers rose In vapors from the stage, there was a large audience out last night to see the closing bill at Shields' Park. The park has been a popular amusement TPsnrt rhirintr thfi RiiTrnnpr. arr th sAflann' has been successful one in every sense. Mr. Shields has given the public a high grade, popular-price entertainment which was as good as the prices charged might warrant. There is need of Just such a place in a city the size of Portland as the Shields' Park, and the people who wish to spend an evening with open-air vaudeville have reason to congratulate themselves on so admirable a Summer theater. The man agement was handicapped by Inclement weather during the early part of the sea son, but the attendance otherwise was all that could be wished. i It was time to close, however, as last night demonstrated, and while there was a largo audience, It was a chilly one. A man or woman swathed to the ears in wraps cannot enthuse over the best stunt which the vaudevlllians might supply. The final bill consisted of Rand and By ron; Dave Barton, a black-face artist who pleased; Nelsonla, whose Juggling was good, and plate-spinning act better; Ross ley and Rostelle, who were course at the finish, and whose act throughout needs sandpaper. Nellie Hillyer sang "In the Good Qld-Fashloned Way" and "Way Down Yonder in the Cornfield" Just toler ably, while the act of Harrison Brothers was the limit for very badness. This fa tiguing team should go to work shoveling mnd dr laying pavement, for as vaude vlllians they will not do. Grace Walton Haynie closed her meteoric career before the flickering footlights in a recitation of "Honest Joe," a "piece" about a man who accumulates a large package and chops, into 'his wife with a hatchet. It seemed to strike a responsive, chord with the audi ence, and Mrs. Haynie was recalled. She didn't sing, however, and was satisfied with working off a stock bow or two. The polyscope pictures were new and amusing. All In all, the closing bill was not so bad, neither was it so good. Mr. Shields will open a 10-cent vaudeville theater In a few weeks . at the corner of Seventh and Washington streets. The house will give two matinees and three night performances each day, consisting of six acts each, all for a general admis sion of 10 cents. This will be a "novelty in Portland, but is in line with the policy of the continuous-performance houses of the Eastern cities. WHERE TO DINE.

To the ripple of pleasant music and swishing, skirts, the merry, tuneful "Chaperons" will open at the Marquam Theater tonight, an engagement of four nights and a special matinee Wednesday. For two seasons this organization has been providing a very toothsome brand of comedy opera and has enjoyed successful engagements in all the leading cities and a two months' sojourn In New York. The company to be seen this year Is not ma terially altered from Its original form and a majority of the old favorites will be seen here. Prominent in the big cast will appear John G. Sparks, Mabel Hlte, Thomas Whlffen, May Boley, Mae Stebblns, W. V. Struntz and Arthur 'Earnest. There Is a large chorus and. a contingent of chic show girls. The plot concerns Adam Hogg's attempt to wed his rich ward and find the missing seal to her father's will. But the seal Is long sought In vain, and the plot of the piece Itself gets hopelessly lost. The book contains many clever sayings amid the chaff, such as the definitions abun dantly given of everything from an "angel" and a syndicate to a bachelor and a woman. But we will not spoil their effect by quoting more than one of them. A syndicate Is a "body of men surrounded by money." Seats are now selling for the entire' engagement.' 'Phone Main 868. Dastardly Work at the Empire. The Empire Theater presents, its new programme for the coming week tonight, and seven days of merriment, Is thus as sured to Portland's host of theater-goers. Raymond and Caverly, the German come dians who have made thousands laugh, will continue their dastardly work of mak ing the Empire audiences weep tears of laughter, and' many new features will also be presented. Among these are the con tortion work of the Yerkes and the stac cato bag-punching of Walter H. Orr. The Yerkes are a team of contortionists com posed of a man and a woman. Bandy, the man who doesn't know what to do with his feet, will dance himself Into favor, while his partner, Miss Wilson, will not be far behind. Arthur Hahn, the Aus tralian basso, will sing a new song ex pressly written for him, and those who have once heard his splendid voice will need no further Inducement to hear him again. The remainder of the bill Is ajso crisp and clever. Public Schools Open Today. THE DALLES, Or., Sept 13. (Special.) The public schools at this plaqe' open Monday morning, September 14, and the authorities are making preparations for a larger enrollment than ever before in the history of the schools. Fo many years It has been a custom for those residing In surrounding counties to bring their children to The Dalles during the school term. That this wlll.be done to a greater extent than ever before is "evidenced by the fact that every house in the city has been taken and many find It impossible to find houses.
