First Showing of New Silks, Suits, ' Dresses Under muslins At Meier db Frank's TEARS AMD LAUGHTER MIX DESIGNS AND HELP ASKED Evangelist Works as Was His Wont When Professional Ball Player and Smites Ways of Wicked in Picturesque Slang. "Billy" Sunday, in shirt sleeves ana collarless. paced up and down before an audience of men that filled the White Temple to "standing room only yesterday, and told them of the 57 ways, more or less, that "Chickens Come Home to Roost." His picturesque presence and whirl wind oratory captivated the crowd, and hey acknowledged his crackling epigrams with thunders of applause, while the ex-member of "Pop" Anson's famous old Chicago White Sox grinned down upon them In a way that showed what Trixie Friganza would call va mighty fine set of dining-room furni ture." He chuckled at his own jokes, he bragged of his old-time ability to run bases said he used to circle the dia mond, a distance straight-away of 120 yards. In 14 seconds he plunged down on the platform to show how he used to slide into second, he rested his ten nis shoe out on the grand piano In front of the pulpit while "driving home" a point, he macerated the rules of Llndley Murray, he translated the gospels into sizzling slang and the crowd liked it. all of it. Vocabulary Is Lnrjf. He denounced profanity in language that i-'ould not have been rendered more forceful by a past master of that gentle art. He was eloquent and senti mental and savage and appealing and funny. He brought his hearers from the verge of tears to sudden laughter, apparently at will, and then stood, transfixed In whatever position his peroration had left him, and grinned at his own work like a schoolboy. The famous evangelist spoke from notes, but he left them at "home base," the pulpit, and charged .up and down the platform like Hughie Jennings try ing to "put a man in froi third." Once In a while he returned to re fer to his notes and his handkerchief. When he referred to his notes, while he polished his dripping brow, he was eloquent, speaking of "the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome," and how trie chickens came home to roost to those nations and others that defied God's law. With his eye on his notes he read statistics that staggered with the weight of their significance. Blft Games Are PlnyefT " When he left his notes he pulled up his sleeves, screwed his pugnacious features into a sort of word-sprinkler, and was "Billy" Sunday on the coach line, with the Devil pitching for the opposing team and the bases full of poor sinners wafting for a home run. At other times he seemed to think he was pitching for the home team of the New Jerusalem, and he "put 'em over", like bullets. Captain Beelzebub and two of his strongest hitters struck out one-two-three. And so he played every position on that platform at the White Temple, thinking it was a diamond on which the last game before the close of the season on the judgment day. The famous evangelist,, who spoke under the auspices of the Portland Young Men's Christian Association to men only, made a sharp definition be tween personal liberty and personal license. "I am strong for personal liberty." he said, "but I insist that this liberty shall be within the law. SSjodness In Apparent. "fciook forth on the world," he con tinued, "and I see its sorrows and its Joys, its sin and its shame, its Btrength and its folly, and I see its goodness and its nobility." - He was especially denunciatory of what he termed "the booze-h'ister," declaring that there is no place for the drinking man in the church, in office, in fraternal organizations, in business or anywhere else except in perdition unless he should change his ways. "But when they have all turned him down," he went on, "he can come to the rrojs of Christ and there kneel in prayer: his prayer will toe answered, and he will get up clean and whole. Then all ' those who have turned him down before will welcome him with open arms." - PERSONALMENTION. C. A.- Ott. of Roseburg, is at the Oregon. Ed King, of Silverton, is a guest at the Carlton. J.

The First National Bank, PLAYING BASEBALL AND PREACHING MUCH ALIKE Keeii Eye and Clear Brain Feqnired to Make Hit in Either Game, Declares Billy Sunday, Evangelist, in Interview.. LAYING baseball and preaching the gospel are much the same, says "Billy" Sunday, ballplayer- evangelist, who arrived in Portland Saturday and preached a series of ser mons yesterday. ' 'It takes a keen eye and a clear brain to make a hit in either game," he said at the Oregon Hotel, where he and Mrs. Sunday are staying. 'It's a poor preacher that can't hit over .300 in the Gospel league. The devil is a poor pitcher. He tries to strike out the weak batters the poor wretches who are victims of booze and the Lord knows that they fan only too often. , "But the devil is afraid of the hard hitting preachers and the men and women who are trying to lead upright lives. He's a trick pitcher, the devil Is, and tries to give the good folks their bases on balls. "That's the way to win the game. Don't let him give you a base on balls. Go after the wide ones, the high ones and the low ones. You are sure sooner or later to solve his delivery. And when you do and when you do," and here "Billy" Sunday raised his voice in exclamation and brought his con vincing fist down with a bang upon the arm of the chair, "you are sure to pound old satan out of the box." , Old Friends Not Forgotten. "You never forget your old baseball friends, do you?" he was asked. "No, you bet I don't. They are the salt of the earth. Baseball and preach ing go together just as naturally as good batting averages and big salaries. "I wouldn't take a million dollars for my baseball experience right now." "So you think baseball is a good busi ness for the young man to get into, do you?" , , "If he has the talent, yes. There Is nothing better. But he has to play the game. The devil Is always there trying to find his weak spot. If his weak spot is booze, then good night, young ball player: He must cut out the booze. He must cut it . clear out and stay away from it." "Billy" Sunday always gets excited when he starts . talking about the "booze" business. On this occasion he jumped from his chair and, pulling up his sleeves, worked his right arm In triphammer fashion as he pounded his words in the minds of his hearers. "Booze and I are bitter enemies he almost shouted. Booze never made a home run. It never saved & soul from hell. It has lost many a game and -Jk: - - liiitllllifeif& 1 tv: ' vt-t . - I k Two VteWM of Billy Sunday Mnile by Oresroailan Photographer Just Sefcre the Meeting. of this city, has just let the contract to C.

The German Em peror has announced by telegraph to King Constantino that he had appoint ed the Greek monarch a Field Marshal in tha German Army. driven many a poor sinner to perdi tion." "How about the baseball players of today. Do you know of any of them that fight-booze?" "I know all the best ones among them. None of the good ones booze. Most of them don't drink a drop. "Baseball players today are gentle men. They get good money and save it. Their profession is just as honor able as mine is or as is that of any other preacher." "Who's going to win -the big league pennants this year?" "Well, it looks like Muggsy's team in the National, but it's heads and tails between the Athletics and Cleve land in the American. "Thae Cleveland team sure is a sur prise to me. I didn't think they would stand the gaff. But Joe Birmingham has them going now like a six-cylinder auto.' They'll give Connie Mack's team a hard run for their money before the season is over." "Has baseball developed any since you were in the game?" "The game itself is pretty much the same. The finer points -or what they are calling 'inside ball,' have developed a whole lot. But say, we turned a whole lot of those tricks in our day. "I have scored many a time from second on an infield hit. I scored once from first on a hit to short. We played the hit-and-run game in those days, but we didn't call it that. It was just straight baseball." Sanday to Plclc Team. "Billy" Sunday has been commis sioned by an Eastern manager, to pick an ail-American baseball team at the close of the present season. For that reason he expects to go East - in a short time and see all the teams in ac tion. He is a favorite among present day ball players and always receives a royal welcome from them. He likes to talk baseball asNvell as he does about preaching and indulges in the characteristic Sunday vernacular on either occasion. But he doesn't be come the fiery, passionate, forensic, eloquent preacher until he mounts a pulpit and talks to a congregation. "I don't get warmed up unless I have a crowd of possible converts around me," h.e said. "You can get the best dope for the newspaper by hearing ma talk from the pulpit." Sunday will speak this morning at 11 o'clock at Centenary Methodist Epis copal Church, and this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the White Temple under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. The White Temple meeting is for men only. tnlque Structure Is Deemed Neces sary Because of More Costly "Arrangements to Be . Made, by Many Other States. A building built of massive Oregon logs on the order of the Forestry build lng'at the Lewis and Clark Exposition grounds, with space inside for large exhibits of agricultural, horticultural, lumber, mining, educational and other interests of Oregon, is favored as the official building of this state at the Panama-Pacific Exposition by the Com mission appointed to arrange and in stall the Oregon exhibit Members of the Commission yester day completed a report of their work, following their return from an inspec tion of the grounds at San Francisco. The Commission asks for designs from Oregon architects for the proposed building and asks for suggestions and aid from the various interests which are to be "represented at the fair. The Commission will open a temporary of fice today at the Chamber of Commerce in charge of O. M. Clark, president of the Commission. Later a permanent of fice will be opened at some other place in the city. "Oregon First" to Be Slogan. "Oregon First" is to be the slogan of the Commission. It is proposed to have this state start construction first and finish first and to carry out the "first" idea in as many other .ways as pos sible. "The first work before the Commis sion," reads the report, "is the plan ning for the Oregon building. This is important and must be done at once. We must be the first to start construc tion. We must do this for the prom inence it will give the state by being the first. The site selected is 200 feet by 300 feet in size anil faces on the waterfront, in plain view of- the Gol den Gate. Immediately to the east will be the California building an immense structure, in which the counties join with the state. Across the avenue to the south Is the New York site, upon which is to be erected a five-story structure at a cost of $375,000. It is in tended to be -extremely attractive, with splenoid illumination. The New Jersey site is also near by. Unique Building? Deemed" Xeed. "With these surroundings we cannot hope for a building for Oregon that will attract attention unless it is unique, for at the most we cannot spend over $G0, 000 to 170,000 on our building. The total appropriation is J175.000 and the necessary cost, such as expense of the Commission, payroll of employes, fixed charges for care, light, heat, water, etc.. of the building, transportation and many such items that will go to make up an overhead charge, will compel the greatest care in appropriation for the building and other purposes. "The log building luea so splendidly shown in the Forestry, building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition is favored by the Commission and is urged by the general officers at San Francisco. Some such unique idea must be carried out in our. State building, or it will appeal- Insignificant surrounded by the great buildings planned by California. New York and the exposition buildings which are also near the Oregon site. The Commission intends to ask the leading state architects to submit de signs. Help la Solicited. "The Commission most earnestly de sires and solicits the help of all our citizens in carrying forward the work. A conference with representatives of the industries of the state and other persons acting in a representative ca pacity probably will be called at once for the purpose or discussion mat may lead to adoption of best policies. Owing to the state's location and close prox imity to the exposition location, it is the best possible- situation as w ex hibits. They should be of the best, and abundant. It will be readily seen and. we hope, appreciated by all that the expense of exhibits cannot be met wholly by the appropriated funds. We will, therefore, seek aid of the various Drominent interests.

MINING OUTLOOK IS GOOD Scientists Enthusiastic. Over Tossi bilities of Gold Hill Region. GOLD HILL. Or.. Aug. 10. (Spe cial.) Dr. A. N. Winchell. Professor L. E. Reber, C. B. Wratson and Sidney French, representing the State Bureau of Mines, in Southern Oregon field work, concluded their Investigations in the Gold Hill district Thursday by a trip up Foots Creek, where they visit ed the Black Channel and other well- known properties. Their next field of operations will be in Josephine County Although declining to make any statement of official opinion previous to the report. Dr. Winchell and his associates were enthusiastic concern ing the possibilities of the mining in dustry in this section and appeared to be both astonished and gratified by the showings so freely encountered. Items of special interest to Southern Oregon in the forthcoming report will be the findings on the celebrated Iron Mountain, which looms to the north of this city and which many mining men have declared to be the greatest nat ural mineral asset of all Oregon, and their report on the Cinnabar mine of Ramsey Canyon. The cinnabar specimens taken not only showed the presence of great quantities of cinnabar, but in instances were plentifully shot with free quick silver, which rolled elusively from the crushed rock. No attempt was made, however, to collect specimens of any mineral remarkable for richness in vis ible metal, but specimens characteristic of the general deposits were sought.

Lady Smith, the prize cow that holds court at the Empire City fair grounds, was visibly annoyed yesterday when a body of suffragettes invaded the sanc tity of her home and tried to drag her out to take part in a suffrage parade. "Moo-oo," she rumbled, "a cow's place is in the barn." "But, dear Lady Smith." the women protested, "think what a noble work you oould do in the world?- Such prob lems are pure milk." "Curds and whey!" exclaimed Lady Smith testily. "I'd. rather be a good cow than a bad politician. Go home and wash the milk pails." Surprise, the prize bull, which es corted Lady Smith for the- short dis tance she allowed herself to be dragged with those women, lived up to his name. He is a gentleman and -a gay blade, anyway, his keeper said.1 He stood affably by, looking with polite Interest at the yellow and white votes- for-women parasols which the women were flaunting so near poor, dear Lady Smith's outraged eyes.

Old Sol yesterday stirred up a lively business for the various Sum mer resorts, parks and recreation places in and near Portland. No heat records were broken, nor was it even close, but it was hot enough to cause a spirited and general exodus to the shade. Hundreds sat under the trees In the parks, hundreds of others went to the shady resting places along the Willamette, the Oaks was crowded, thousands" took to tha woods surrounding the city. large crowds were in the Plaza blocks, the cars leading into the country were crowded all day, scores went fishing and scores of others went boating. xne sun came out strong in the ear ly morning, indicating a hot day. which. fact contributed largely to the number of people who went to the more distant recreation places. The temperature at S A. M. was 65 degrees. At 12 o'clock it was 84, at 1 o'clock 87, at 2 o'clock 90, and at 5 o'clock 93. From then on the mercury gradually subsided, per mitting those who had fled to the coun try to proceed home in the coolness of pleasant breezes the sort that have made Portland famous. The river was dotted with boats of various kinds from early morning un til late at night. Canoes darted back and forth, motorboats sped along at lively pace and sailboats tacked up and down the river, all carrying happy pleasure seekers. In almost every di rection swimmers .could be seen. One of the liveliest places was the Oaks, where thousands of people passed the'day in the shade. The band concert and vaudeville there attracted crowds at both performances. Large numbers of people went to Council Crest and to various small resorts along the Willamette and Columbia Rivers. 91 1 ' Q i. j ROSE BEAD ROSARIES, SPECIAL AT $3.
