He com mended Mayor Lane, District Attorney Manning and Sheriff Stevens for what they have done and have promised to do in regard to Sunday closing of saloons. "This transformation," he continued, "which has come about within the past three or four years, is the greatest adver tisement for the city of Portland which could possibly be made. This is espe cially so when the newspapers and the ministers, stand together for the good of the community's, morals. Politicians are beginning to consult with the moral lead ers in communities, and there is coming to be more of a banding together of the moral forces than there ever has been before." Dr. Short will preach his last sermon before leaving the city at the Taylor-Street Church next Sunday. Judge Camebox Gives Dinner. Muni cipal Judge George J.

About $00 members of Portland lo.dge of Elks and visiting brethren from other lodges of this state and elsewhere attended a stag social, the last function of the season at Elks' Temple, Seventh and Stark streets. last night. The "head-liner" of the bill of amusements was Lew Dock stader, the minstrel man, who is a mem ber of Philadelphia lodge.

Other features of the evening were numbers by several actors from the local vaude ville houses. Refreshments were served during the evening. Want Brick Schoolhouse. Residents of Albin.a want the Board of Education to erect an lS-room brick schoolhouse on the lots recently purchased on Rodney avenue and Knott street, to replace the Williams avenue building.

It is estimated that the Williams-avenue block 1 will sell for from S55.000 to $75,000, so that the cost of a brick schoolhouse will be but little more than a frame structure. Address by Rabbi Wise.

Services commence Friday night at 8 and Saturday morn ing at 10:30. Strangers welcome. DOCKSTADER'S MINSTRELS ATTHEHEILIG By Arthur A. Greene. THI ch ERE was a spasm of ragtime or chestration, a quick curtain and a stage full of burn-cork Mansfields who didn't look the part; a medley of popu lar songs, most of which was George Spink's classic: Bill Simmons, a long haired gentleman in the center, who said "be seated, gentlemen," or words to that effect, and the minstrels were themselves again. Minstrelsy may be on its last legs. There are many who believe so. That matters little however, for minstrelsy Is going to die standing up. It has been out of vogue for 20 years, but there are still so many people who enjoy seeing the end men have trouble with their mouths and hearing the venerable jokes, that any theater in the land is likely to have plenty of business when it is known that a blackface musicals is to be heard and seen. The Heilig was full up last night in honor of the coming of Lew Dockstader and his company. It was the first visit of "Hello Bill" in many years, but the public hadn't forgotten his white spats and the bell-crowned hat. He wasn't at his level best last night, but Lew doesn't dare be as funny as he can be. The audience believed he was just the most amusing person who has recently come down the speedway, and that's, enough. He was ovated and applauded and en couraged all through his part of the evening's service, which proves that he is the greatest minstrel on earth now using moving pictures in the olio. Dock stader is undoubtedly funny, but his monologue this year is not riotously gleeful. The local gags he sprung made the audience laugh because he perpe trated them, not because they possessed a considerable degree of wit. His star pun was when he asked the interlocutor if he had heard of the accident to Mayor Schmitz and answered that a Ruef had caved in on him. ' The boss minstrel man was not keyeo! up to concert pitch last night, but at that he was the best in these Uoted States and the one logical successor to the high lights of the halcyon days. The company this year contains such well-known comedians as Nell O'Brien and John King and a number of tip-top .vocalists, among them our old army friend. Reese Prosser. Ever since Prosser started singing contra-tenor sen timental ballads he has been Justly poj ular and last night his songs were a feature of the performance. The best voice in the aggregation is owned by a mysterious stranger who does not appear on the programme, but who gave the best rendition of "Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep" that this town has heard since the Court House was new. Of course Nell O'Brien was immensely in favor, as he always Is, and he kept faith with the public by doing his stunts for all that was In him. His song, "Brotherly Love." which satirizes lodge initiations, is new and amusing. An other warbler who keeps up the stand ard for general excellence is W. H. Thompson, whose "Sweet Julienne" is likely to be popular with the near mu sicians for some time to come. After all 1& said. tU.9 best Xeature of. IT IS.

Moore. President. S E. E. JUytle, Vice-President. W. Cooper Morris, Cashier. START TO SAVE TODAY. the show is the orchestra, which is worth anybody's listening. There is nothing quite so good in present-day minstrelsy as the Dockstader show. The men are all selected for special talents, the stage mountings are handsome and then all the time there are the inimitable Lew and the Incomparable Neil O'Brien. They are enough show in themselves for any body but a stingy spender. Tonight's performance will be the last of the engagement. Anybody can be happy, for a little while, at the Heilig tonight, provided he can see and hear. AUTHORITY ON CHEMISTRY James P. Remington, of Philadel phia, to Visit Portland. James P. Remington, dean of the Phil adelphia College of Pharmacy, and one of the leading authorities on chemistry and pharmacy in this country, will visit Portland about June 20. He has written to E. H!
