THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1907. 11 PASTORS ARE GONE Many Portland Pulpits Have No Regular Occupants. ILLNESS AND RESIGNATION Substitutes to Fill Vacancies for the Time Being Dr. Wilson to Re turn Soon Brougher on Thaw Case. Nearly every large Protestant Church of Portland will be without a regular pastor tomorrow morning, some having resigned, and others being; sick. Rev. Clarence True Wilson of the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, having a double charge since Rev. Francis Burgette Short of the Taylor-Street Methodist Church went East, was close on the verge of a collapse, and was obliged to take a vacation, the first in two years. A week ago last Thursday he left for Southern Oregon, from whence he has gone to San Francisco to viplt his brother who is practicing law. He will return to Portland next Thursday. In writing to a friend he says he has received great benefit from his trip to Southern Oregon and California, and that on his return, he will take up a series of sermons on, "The Stone of Destiny: or the Anglo-Saxon Race." This series will hegln Sunday morning, March 3. Dr. Wilson will attempt to prove from proph ecy, it is said, that the English-speaking race is the ten lost tribes of the children of Israel. Rev. C. W. McPherson. of Estacada, will preach at the Grace Church tomorrow morning. In the eve ring Miss Carrie Barge, National lecturer for the young people's department of the "Women"s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church will speak on, "The Incoming Millions." Rev. Francis Burgette Short has been absent from the pulpit of the Taylor Street Methodist Church for about three months, and it is not known how soon his congregation may expect his return, as he haB been ill ever since he left the city. Rev. J. H. Coleman, D. D.. will address the congregation, of the Taylor Street Church tomorrow morning and evening. The First Presbyterian Church will be without a regular pastor until March 1". when it is expected that Rev. W. H. Fotilkes will be here from Clinton, Ta. It was recently voted to invite Rev. Mr. Foulkes to this church, and he accepted the invitation. Rev. C. a. Hazard, who has occupied the pulpit for several weeks, will Bpeak tomorrow morning. Rev. Edwin I. House, formerly pastor of the First Congregational Church of this city, will preach his final sermon to morrow evening. Monday morning, he leaves to take as sume the pastorate of the Westminster Congregational Church at Spokane. The churches of Oregon in ecclesiastical con ference last Monday afternoon formally accepted the resignation of Dr. House. Last Thursday night the church ex pressed Its regret at parting with Its pastor, and spoke in its resolution of the good work which he has accomplished during the past four years. Rev. Fred Warren, pastor of the St. John's Congregational Church has also resigned. 'ut will not leave until next May. Despite the fact that his reputa tion was assailed last August by a fel low minister, his congregation has never lost faith in him, and deeply regrets that it cannot retain him as its pastor. Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher will preach the second sermon of the series on "Jesus and Life Struggles." at the White Temple tomorrow night, this one being on "En vironment." It promises to be of exceed ing interest as Dr. Brougher will discuss the attitude of the press to the Thaw murder trial, and will expresshls view on suppressing the news. PRIZES FOR COMPETITION Sons, of American Revolution Offer $200 for Essays. At the annual meeting of the Oregon Society of the Sons of the American ' Revolution, held yesterday afternoon, that organization decided to offer J200 In prizes to the school children of Ore gon for essays on the history of Rev olutionary days. It Is. probable that those prizes will be confined to the children of the higher grammar grades this year.- Formerly they were in competition with the colleges of the state. The report of the, treasurer showed an expenditure during the year of 212. 30 and a balance of cash on hand of $385.38. The officers for the year end ing February 22, 1908, are as follows: President, Wallace MeCamant; vice president, Alfred V. Pears, Jr.; secre tary, Amedee M. Smith; treasurer, A. A. Ltndsiey; registrar. W. H. Chapin. Of these Messrs. Smith, Lindsley and Chapin succeed themselves. Mr. Me Camant succeeds Thomas M. Ander son as president, and Judge Sears suc ceeds Mr. MeCamant as secretary. The board of managers is as follows: James F. Ewlng. P. S. Malcolm. Tyler Woodward and Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton. Committees were appointed to draw tip memorials in honor of the late Henry F. Ankenny, R. J. Ackerson and T. B. Howes. It was decided to hold the annual banquet on Lexington day. April 19. The suggestion was made that it would be well to serve a light dinner, and invite the friends of the members to the banquet. This matter was left with the board of managers. It Is probable that Hon. George H. Williams will tell a number of anecdotes at the banquet. The report of the board of managers, rendered by President MeCamant, which bears on the results of the i prizes offered for essays last year, Is as follows: In eubmlttlng this report for the year. I regret to state that our intentions have ! been better than our achievements. The prizes for the public school essays have been niii. The collegiate es says were not considered hv the committee of sufficient merit to Justify them in giving the prizes ottered. Books were Riven in rec ognition of the three assays sent in. Tne question of again offering prizes for colle 'giate essays Is respectfully submitted. We might meet a better response if we extended the offer to post-graduates of the colleges, seminaries, academies and normal schools of the state. I submit to you the proposition of the edu cational committee of the National society. When this committee was organized the In tention was to inform the immigrants com ing to the country of the distinctive charac ter of our American institutions. Something has been done to carry out that purpose. But the work naturally devolves on our Eastern societies. On the Pacific Coast we have a different element to deal with. Hers we have a number of native Americans dis contented with the existing conditions and with our present form of government, t-hould we not as a patriotic society consider what we can do to prevent discontent from changing into positive hostility? During the year death has called hence our venerable compatriot. Theodore Ecker son, whose military service of over 5i year claims . honorable recognition. T recommend that a notice of his life be inserted in the next year book we have occasion to publish. FILE SUIT TO QUIET TITLE Heirs of George W. Campbell in Litigation Over Timber Lands. A complaint was filed with the clerk of the United States Circuit Court yes terday by John W. Campbell, Eddie Campbell and Clara D. Campbell, of Pennsylvania; James W. Campbell, of Massachusetts, and George W. Camp bell, of West Virginia, heirs of George W. Camplell, deceased, of Pennsylva nia, against Charles Corneluls, of Ore gon. The suit is brought to quiet title to a tract of timber land in Oregon. Cornelius, it is understood, claims the land, but the Campbells do not appear to know the ,precise nature of his claim, and he is now supposed to be living in Wisconsin. The heirs of the deceased George W. Campbell ask that Cornelius; if he shall answer their com plaint, be required to state from whom and through whom he secured his title. Zera Snow and Wallace MeCamant are attorneys for the Campbell heirs. FAMED MEN IN OBSCURITY tContlnued From First Page.) and Reed, and under four Democratic speakers. Kerr, Randall, Carlisle and Crisp. Then he went to the 'Senate at the time when the Democrats were In control there. He was a big and power ful man. and his influence on the course of government was always to be reckoned with. At one time the Mills tariff re duction bill was a -burning Issue, but now Mr. Mills it not considered by either stand-patters or revisionists. His own political downfall came just before the retirement of his party from power, and he went back to private life a poor man. Then the Texas oil boom came and on the Mills farm was found the highest quality of oil west of Penn sylvania. It made him rich, but he didn't care. There are books in Corsi cana and old Roger Q. Mills had found his friends among them. Charles Egbert Craddock and Will Allen Dromgoo'.e are two woman writ ers who are fast friends. Miss Mary K. Murfroe is the real name of Craddock, author of "The Great Smoky", but Miss Dromgoole'B masculine name Is her very own. Both of them have had some amusing experiences with those who did not know they were women. Miss Mur- free was asked to a dinner in Boston when her publisher knew her only as Charles Egbert Craddock. The dinner was planned as a stag affair and. when Miss Murfree arrived, the doorkeeper told her that there were to be no ladies pres ent and denied her admission. Miss Dromgoole once received a complimentary letter from James Whitcomb Riley after the publication of a book of her verses The letter began, "Dear Will," and ended with a cordial Invitation to come over and "hit it up with the boys." She explained, and. of course, the author of "That Old Sweetheart of Mine" promptly apologized. First Saw Washington's Genius. The first public recognition of George ashington s military genius in an ap preciation written by an English army orneer under tire Ill-starred General Braddoek. This was published in the Scot's Magazine of Edinburgh in 1757. a year after the famous defeat. The offi cer who wrote the letter said that the entire command would have been anni hllated if it had not been for the bravery and sagacity of Major George Washing ton and Captain Stephen Rozzell Donohoe of the Alexandria Rifles. A faced copy of this magazine is exhibited with par donable pride by the seventh Stephen Rozzell Donohoe, who is now the editor of a country paper at Fairfax Court House, Virginia. In the last act of "The Great Divide. played by Margaret Anglin and Henry Miller, a little old woman appears who is cheered to the echo. She is Mrs.' Thomas Whlffen, who steps into the place made vacant by the death of "Grand mother Gilbert" as the oldest woman on the American stage. Mrs. Whiffen was the original Little Buttercup In the first American production of "Pinafore, which was played at the Standard Theater in New York in 1879. Mrs. Whif fen Is affectionately referred to by her admirers as "the old timer. She has a remarkable memory and talks most en tertainingly of her early experiences. She tells how the theaters used to have their own stock companies, the stars traveling about, finding new supporting companies at each stop. In those days they were given their lines only a day In advance. and had to learn them by the process called "winging the parts." which meant sticking them in the nearest scenery as they rushed on the stage in response to their cues, trusting to luck to regain them before the scene-shifters hoisted them out of their reach. Mrs. Whlffen is as sincerely loved by the people behind the scenes as she is by the public. Clioate's Aid to Young Lawyer. Joseph Choate. who is a power in law as well as in diplomacy, had an amusing experience with a young Hebrew lawyer with whom he was once associated in a big law case. The young lawyer, being uncertain of the amount to demand as a fee. took his difficulty to Mr. Choate. "That's all right, my boy," replied the great attorney. "I am going to send in my 'bill in a few days, and I will just double It and send you my personal check for your half. In a few days the check came, and the amount was tenfold what the young Jew had .dreamed of demanding. He replied instantly to Mr. Choate, expressing his delight, and in a postscript said: "Al most thou persuadest me. to be a Chris tian." Dewey's Paper Flowers Miss Jean Stone, daughter of ex-Gov ernor Stone, of Pennsylvania, had the distinction of being the first lady to board the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship, after the battle of Manila harbor. Miss Stone was traveling with a party in Europe and happened to be at one of the ports where the fleet called on its triumphant journey homeward. She found that the victorious Admiral, after electrifying the world with his gallant dash into Manila Bay. had given himself over to the rather unwarrlorlike pastime of making paper flowers to adorn the barren conservatory on the ship. She wore one of his make-believe posies ashore as proudly as If it were a button of the Legion of Honor. The only living thing aboard the Olympia that was injured during the memorable engage ment was the pet canary, which had been so violently thrown from its perch by the vibration of the big guns as to break one of its legs. Miss Stone found the sailors tenderly nursing the little song ster that was hobbling bravely about with its broken leg in splints. Tomorrow Growth of the Tipping Nuisance. GOOD C'OrGH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN The season for coughs and colrls is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of them who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher. of Rlplev. W. Va.. says. "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has al ways given good- satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other nar cotic and may be given as confidently to a child aa to an adult. , PLAN HEW WHARVES Inman, Poulsen & Co., and W. K. Smith Will Build Docks.

It is the intention of Mr. Smith to Increase the water frontage as fast as possible. The new docks will be placed at a sufficient height above the low water mark to be practically safe from any high water; IiOSES HIS MOXEY OVERBOARD Fireman on Hercules Drops $120 From the Deck. A. Johansen, a fireman employed on the steamer Hercules, is. today a poorer and wiser man. Testerday he lost $120 over board from the deck of the boat and henceforth will take the advice given by kindhearted shipmates and spend his sur plus coin. Johansen has lived a modest life and has hoarded the salary received for keep ing up steam on the Hercules. In the course of time he accumulated $120, which he kept carefully tied up in a sock, carry ing the sock in the pocket of his over alls. Testerday while performing some duty on deck the half hose and its pre cious contents slipped from the pocket and went overboard. Exit cash, amid loud lamentations on the part of the dis tressed fireman. Johansen got an ax and chopped a nick in the deck to show where his fortune was lost, and with grappling irons vainly tried to recover it.

Harrison, of the steamer Fleetwood was fined $o00 by Deputy Col lector of Customs Dorn this afternoon for having an insufficient crew.

Lantern views showing the shapes of the thoughts of hatred. Jealousy,' anger, love, etc., were displayed. The speaker said in part: "Theosophy holds that men are liter ally gods in the making; that each has within him potentially all the attri butes of Deity; that these are being slowly developed by the process of evo lution; that among other things he is evolving will power; and. that man is not the result of either his environ ment or his will, but of evolutionary forces."
