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.

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.

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. ,

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.

NEW STOCK ACTRESS HERE
Miss Louise Kent Anxious to Join
George L. Baker's Forces.
Miss Louise Kent, the new second wo
man of the Baker Stock Company, arrived
yesterday from Atlanta, Ga., where she
has been leading woman of the best
stock company of the South.
Miss Kent will make her local debut
as the queen in "Mizpah." which event
has been the subject of much anticipa
tion among Baker patrons. She is one
of tire most talented young acrtesses in
the country, but has never appeared in
the West. Last year she was leading
woman at Keith's Theater. New York,
and has held similar positions in stock
at Cincinnati, Baltimore and other cities,
she is a Louisville, Ky girl, and her
stage name, Louise Kent, is an adapta
tion of the name of that city.
Miss Kent Is tall and slender, a beauty
of the distinctive Kentucky type, with an
abundance of golden brown hair. She is
vivacious and her personality is particu
larly charming. She comes to Portland
with the preconceived idea that she is
going to like the city and people im
mensely and will no doubt prove a genial
favorite both professionally and socially.
She and her mother, who accompanies
her, have taken- apartments at Elton
Court.
TALKS ON THOUGHT FORMS
Theosophical Speaker Gives Lecture
on Character Building.
A large audience listened to the sec
ond stereoptlcon lecture last night by
Professor H'eindel at Alisky Hall.
'Thought Forms in the Building of
Character" was the subject. 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."

takes unless careful reading is main
talned all the time.
It makes, a lot of difference some
times, just how a thing is read.
This is the tale:
" "No tea and not one drop of cof
ee,' ordered the doctor and I rebelled.
But alas, with nerves that saw, felt and
heard things that were not, rebellion
was useless.
"With the greatest reluctance'I gave
up these lifelong companions, and drank
milk, milk until the very, step of the
milkman grew hateful.
"My nerves were some better, but
breakfast without some warm beverage
grew wearisome, and bid fair to be en
tirely slighted. And with a brain that
for nine hours daily must (work hard,
ever demanding nourishment, the fail
ing appetite was a serious proposition.
"Then In despair, Poatum was tried.
I had tasted it once and heartily dis
liked the pale watery compound, but
now. literally starving for a hot drink,
I read and re-read the directions on
the package with the critical eye of
the proof-reader, following them out
to the letter and lo! the rich brown
liquid of the advertisements.
"Not one, but three cups disappeared
and since then Postum has been my
sole warm beverage, unfailingly re
freshing and helpful; both body and
nerves testifying to its helpfulness by
new strength and vigor." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read
the little book, "The Road to Well
ville," in pkgs. "There"s a Reason,"
