Russell Recalls Meeting With Clara Morris. BOTH IN SAME COMPANY Famous Star. Now Blind and Help less, Hired as leading Woman for Portland Manager's Troupe In Detroit Many Years Ago. "Clara Morris! What reminiscences her name brings to mind," said "William M ("Dad") Russell, manager of the Port land theater, last evening;. "I first met Clara Morris on November 25, 1869. The date is indelibly fixed in my memory. I was then a young aspirant for histrionic distinction, in Detroit, Mich. Although there was a fine theater in that city, namely the Detroit Opera House, -which had been completed the previous year, we had no stock company. This was before the days of the travejing stock companies. An actor friend of mine, H. C. Bu-ton, who has played here many times In the legitimate, with Tom Keene and others, was my chum. He came to me and pro- osed that if I would raise $100 we would put on a play. "We found sufflfient talent among the actor colony of Detroit to cast 'Hast Lynne' and 'The Lady of Lyons', plays comparatively new In those days. But looking over the roster of the company we found we were shy a leading woman. Tope Makes Suggestion. "H. C. Pope, then a prominent actor, suggested our wiring it was called tele graphing then, the word wiring hadn't been coined yet to John Ellsler, father of EfHe Ellsler, who was at that time manager of Elltiler's theater In Cleveland. His answer was, can send you Miss Clara. Morris at J25 and expenses. "We sent the transportation . and she arrived by boat, two days before the opening of the season of two perform ances. The matinee bill was 'East Lynne.' I had been promised a good part as a reward for furnishing the capital and found myself cast for 'Richard Hare,' un doubtedly the most thankless part in all dramatics. I had also to act as treasurer of the company, and underdress my role, as I appeared In the first act. "The matinee performance demon ctrated that Clara Morris was destined to become a wonderful actress. In looking about for costumes for 'The Lady of Lyons" we found about half enough to properly dress the various characters. Hence announcement was made from tlie stage, after the audience he.d assembled, and the house was crowded, too, that we would have to substitute 'East Lynn' and 'A Morning Call, the latter a farce, in which Miss Morris shone resplendently and again demonstrated her undoubted ability as a comedienne. House Very Cordial. "The house went wild about her, and I lon't believe In later years, when she proved to the world that she was the very foremost emotional actress of her time, that she won more sincere and sponta neous applause than on the night of her appearance in our stock company In De troit. "Miss Morris gained her early experi ence in stagecraft under Barney Mac Cauley's management at Wood's Theater In Cincinnati, and also at John Ellsler's theater In Cleveland, before she entered Daly's famous New York company. She supported all the leading stars of that Bra. and in New York created the leading characters in 'Article 47, 'Leah the For caken,' Augustln Daly's 'Divorce,' and many other big successes. "Clara Morris has been a wonderful woman and as gifted with her pen as she was with histrionic power. Chief among her best beloved works is a series of sketches, giving her early experiences with and memories of such great artists as Forrest, Booth, Barrett, Couldock, Mrs. Bowers and other famous players of the seventies. Miss Morris was a gifted con versationalist and linguist. ; Great People Her Friends. "She numbered among her personal friends the greatest men and vomAi of the times. She was a lifelong friend of Samuel J. Tilden, and for many years resided in a beautiful home adjoining the palatial residence in Grammercy Park of the Democratic candidate of '76. "For many years Miss Morris has been an invalid, and to this cause is due her early retirement from the stage. She Won distinction on the American Lyceum as a lecturer and was accorded a monstrous benefit a few years ago in New York. "The news of her loss of sight will bring sorrow to her multitude of friends, who recognize not only her genius as an art ifit, but admire her for her qualities as a woman." MAN MAKES HIS MONUMENT Captain, Bolton Erects Shaft En graved With Own Name. VANCOUVER, Wash., May 19. (Spe cial.) Captain N. F. Bolton, over 83 years old, and a veteran of the Mexi can War, and of the Civil War, has had his tombstone made and engraved.

A. Rager, his wife, born September 26, 1830, died October 13 1897."

Bolton spends his time on his little fruit ranch at Minnehaha. Just outside of the city limits. He has made sev eral visits to the cemetery and viewed the marble pillar. , WIFE IS CRUEL, HE AVERS G.

When he would attempt to reason with her she would Ignore him, he says; tell him to "shut his mouth." and say she did not love him any more. Shortly after their marriage she re fused to live with him. and said that she had married him for his money, and since she found that he had none she did not want him around her, so he avers.

QUICK TRIP MADE IN AUTO Forty-five Hours' Time Consumed Between Golden Gate and Eugene. EUGENE, Or., May 19. (Special.) Forty-five hours between San Francisco and Eugene was the time made by Jack Magladry and his family in his automo bile, driven by Mahlon Sweet, arriving here this morning. This is but 10 hours more than the time made by the Southern Pacific passenger trains over the same distance. The speedometer read 650 miles. The remarkable run was made over the mountains between the California line and Ashland, a distance of 29 miles, when the car climbed a grade of 3200 feet and arrived ahead of the passenger train that had left before they did. The roads were dry, but very rough, and much of the run had to be made on the low gear. The fast time was made not through the speed of the machine but by the expert ability of the driver to get all the speed that the road would permit. The first day, 147 miles were .run In the Sac ramento Valley. Three tires were worn out on the trip, and 60 gallons of gasoline were used. EUGENE STREETS CROWDED Oddfellows Convention, Circus and University Events Draw Throngs. EUGENE, Or.. May 19 (Special.)

A year ago, it would have been impos sible to have handled this n,mK- . visitors, but there seems to be little uuuuie curing ror mem today, although many private homes have been opened for the Oddfellows and the University visitors.

Men in Local Union May Be Called Out June 1 if Demands Are Not Granted. The Teamsters' Union is' the latest organization to put its demands to em ployers for an increase in the present wage scale. The increased cost of liv ing: is given as a reason for the de mand. By the 1st of June, unless a favorable reply has been received from employers of teams, the 2500 men said to belong to the local union may be called out on a strike. The- wage demands were made two weeks ago. As yet no action has been taken by the employers, though a com mittee has been consjdering the matter and canvassing sentiment. The first of next week, however, their decision will be made known. The teamsters are now paid J2.75 to $3 a day. , They are asking an increase to $3 and $3.25 a day. If their demands are refused, a proposal will be made to arbitrate the question, and if this is not agreed to a vote to strike may result. According to one prominent employer, it is his belief that the rank and file of the union is not in favor of a strike. - He ventured the assertion that nothing serious will result or that at least no strike will occur. G. A. Rogers, an officer of the union, last night said that so far as the team sters' side of the controversy is con cerned there is nothing to give out. "Wait until we know what they are going to do," he added, significantly. The Teamsters" Union includes drivers of wagons of every description. Such a strike would be serious to the daily commerce of the city and every effort will be made by both sides, it is said, to avoid it.
