The resolu tions having crossed t'.. bntinent and the Atlantic ocean twice, were again mailed to His Majesty, but this time through the Emperors Secret Service Bureau, and finally reached him.

SON OF A. W. WILSON DIES Death In Family of Portland Pastor in Brooklyn. Woodford Wilson, elder son of Rev. A. W. Wilson, pastor of the First United Presbyterian Church, Sixth and Montgomery streets, died In Brooklyn, N. Y., Monday at midnight. A message received by the session of the church Monday gave the first Intimation that the children of the pastor were sick, this telegram stated that Doth Wood ford and the younger son, David, had been stricken with scarlet fever. Yesterday the president .of the church organization received this mes sage: Brooklyn, N. Y., May 18. R. F. Barnes, Custom House, Portland, Or. Woodford died at midnight. Interment Tuesday. Inform Mrs. Woodford. A. W. WILSON. The following reply was sent at once: Rev. A. W. Wilson, 165 S. Eliot Place, Brooklyn, N. Y. Congregation greatly shocked. Session extends slncerest sympathy, officially and personally. R. F. BARNES, J. T. TATE. L. B. SPEER, Mr. Wilson has been pastor of the church here for five years, his former charge having been In Brooklyn. While there he was married and when he moved to this city his wife's mother, Mrs. Woodford, came to make her home with Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. She it Is who Is referred to tn the telegram. The family had been gone for about two weeks, the pastor Intending to at tend the general assembly 'of his church at Pittsburg after a visit with friends and relatives !n Brooklyn. When they left home the children were not very strong, but were not thought to be particularly 111. The boy -whose death was announced yesterday was 4 years old and the other one z. F. H. LEONARD TO SPEAK Will Deliver Two Lectures oh Chris tian Science. The First and Second Churches of Christ, Scientist, of Portland, jointly, have heretofore given but one lecture semi-annually. Two lectures, however, are to be given Sunday afternoon and evening. May 24, at 3 and 8 o'clock, respectively, at the Heilig Theater. These have been planned as the result of the growth in the num ber of inquirers about what Christian Science has to offer, and because many people were unable to gain admittance at previous lectures. The lecturer, Frank H. Leonard, of Brooklyn, N. Y., is an accredited member of the Christian Science Board of Lec tureship of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, of Boston, Mass. It is said that he can testify to the healing power of Christian Science, having been restored to health after all other remedial means had failed to cure him. The lectures are for the purpose of cor recting wrong impressions of Christian Science that may have been gained by the individual, and also to explain in a brief way what Christian Science is. The public is cordially invited. Admission is free and there will be no reserved seats. ORIENTAL RUG NEWS. That Will Interest Prospective Pur chasers in the Northwest.

THE vaudeville which the Pantages man agement is offering at the Marquam continues on the up-grade, the programme which began a new week yesterday after noon . being a capital one, among the best of many good ones seen at the tig Morrison-street theater since the shows were moved in. There are three acts which crowd each other rather closely for headline honors, these being the Bell Trio of vocalists, a somewhat famous attrac tion which has been attracting attention on the big circuits. The singing of these three and their selections combine the rare qualities of appealing to those edu cated musical tastes and those who sim ply like a "good tune" without knowing particularly why. On their Initial local appearance the turn met with immediate approval and a number of encores were demanded. The second of the features is the sketch presented by Lee Morrison and his talent ed company. It is seldom Indeed that we have an opportunity of seeing really first rate actors in vaudeville sketches, but in this instance the people and the character of their work entitles them to high con sideration on their merits. It forms a most pleasing departure from the stereo typed sketch. Mile. Oamille and her troupe of trained dogs, with special reference to a pack of leaping greyhounds, constitute the third of the trtology of good numbers. Always a trained-animai show is certain to please an audience. All ages iind conditions of amusement seekers rise to the occasion, particularly when there's a chance to watch a company of lmely trained dogs, such as the one under consideration. The stunts performed are not especially novel, in fact, most of them are the customary feats performed in all dog shows, but just the same, the canine actors were the pets of yesterday's performance. The .Marlon sisters, a duo of pretty girls, attractively dressed, have a pleasing presence and play the piano excellently. Bert Wiggin, a juggler, with a line of near-comedy on the side, fills ten minutes. Wise and Milton, a -team of unbleached Americans, are satisfactory in a comedy musical act, and Crawford and Meeker seem to please. Jean- Wilson sings un commonly well a grand ballad about papa leaving mamma because he finds her corsage bouquet of violets crushed. A strange man is calling who wears a no- uceaoie wnite waistcoat. Papa being something of a Sherlock Hawkshaw dis covers violet stains on the "old school mate's" vest. He puts two and two to gether and staggers out into the paper snow, leaving his faithless G-wendo line. Tears pass. It was her brother. Moth er's heart punctured, she goes off and dies. Then father returns still wearing his dinner-jacket, to find her in the cold and unsanitary ground. If Jean ever does anything like that again he shall be struck on the ankle with a piece of birdseed. He may feel badly, but has no right to be sad. The array of moving pictures is up to the standard. Grand. DON'T miss Harrigan at the Grand this week. He's a comedian who comedes and a juggler who juggles. In fact,- although he's billed primarily as a juggler, his monologue seems the more Important part of his turn. And this is no reflection on the way he handles cigar boxes and a lighted lamp and a plug hat, either. He's all the goods. And the audience likes him. There are several other acts on the bill worth while. Robert Henry Hodge and company present an evap orated comedy called "The Troubles of Bill Blithers, Bachelor." Hodge does a first-rate piece of character work as a crusty old woman-hatlnsr bache lor, and Blanche Craig as the plotting landlady is good. Marion Ellsworth and May Stewart take care of their parts acceptably. The Earl Sisters, two , little girls who sing and dance, were applauded more for their, earnestness and their fresh yonng voices, rather than for what they did. People who thought everything new in trick bicycle riding was exhausted long ago ought to see Wilson, who is billed as "the Great." He shows some thing nevel. His act is well timed as to length and you don't get tired. Fred G. Bauer returns to the sickly sentimental In his illustrated song this week, but that probably is not his fault. The song is called "My Vir ginia." The slides are rather common place. One thing about Bauer's sing ing, every word is distinct, and he has TEETH WITH OR WITHOUT PLATES OUT-OF-TOWN PKOPLB We can do toot entire Crown, Brldare and Plate Work In a day if necessary.

Hiram "Vrooman In this city and state will be shocked to learn that Miss Alice C. Loud, of Bocks burg, a suburb of Boston, whom Mr. Vrooman was to have married June 2, was drowned a few days ago at Win chester, a seaside resort, while bathing In the surf. Miss Loud went to Win chester to rest a few days before be ginning preparations for her wedding. She went bathing alone and was drowned. Her body was recovered the next day among the rocks. It was thought that she was caught In the un dertow, as the place where she was drowned was considered treacherous. The wedding was originally set for May 27, but was postponed until June 2 on account of the death of Miss'Loud's father. Mr. Vrooman spent over a year in Portland, during which time he had charge of the New Church services, and became known by his lectores on Boclal and economic questions. While on a visit in the Bast he received a call to become pastor of a church In Providence, B. I., which he accepted. Announcement of his approaching marriage with Miss Loud 'was received by his Portland friend several months ago, and they had sent as a wedding present a beautiful sli ver set.

For several yeara there has been a con stantly increasing demand, in Portland, for "Astoria Beer," made by us, but correctly named PALE BOHEMIAN. The people seem to have discovered in PALE BOHEMIAN a characteristic we have always endeavored to main tain PALATABILITY. This feature and its absolute, virgin purity, have accentuated this demand wherever PALE BOHEMIAN is served. For the sake of economy, therefore, and to ex pedite the delivery to families, we Jiave arranged to provide selling facilities in Portland. Those who are impressed by the individuaUty of PALE BOHE MIAN and prefer to serve it, rather than a commonplace beer, may order it in case lots at the prices quoted below, by telephoning to the local office.
