THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND. MAT 20, 1906. BOYS SELECTION OF r HERCULES SHOWER-PROOFl A FURNITURE SUITS EXCLUSIVE DESIGNS CORRECT REPRODUCTIONS OF Three Candidates to Take the QUALITY Place made Vacant by Recent Death. n NOV BISHOP 0 SHOWER-PROOFl LATE BISHOP'S SUCCESSOR It Is Thought the Choice Lies With Glmcs, of Olympia, Scaddlng, of Illinois, or Clampett, of San Francisco. The date of the convention for the elec tion of a Bishop of Oregon, to succeed the late Right Rev. B. Wistar Morris. is set for June 14. and as the time draws near the discussion of candidates grows warm, and many opinions are expressed about the merits and otherwise of the clergy men spoken of for this Important position, one of the three candidates first talked of has dropped entirely out of the field, or at least he Is no longer discussed aa a man for the place. This is Rev. A. L. Frazer, of Toungstown, O. In his place F. VV. dampen, of Trinity Parish, San Fran cisco, is being talked of as a very desira ble candidate. Archdeacon C. Y. Grimes, of Olympia, and Rev. Charles Scaddlng, of La Grange, 111., still have heavy fol lowlngs. and, unless there is another change in the slate, as to not at all Im probable, the selection of the next Bishop of Oregon will be made from among these three divines. Method of Election. The election of a man to fill this office is conducted along rather peculiar lines, the candidate ITlmself having nothing to say In the matter whatever. If he in any way makes It known that he Is anxious to have the office of bishop his prospects are from that moment nil. A clergyman has the privilege of declining the office of bishop, but never that of soliciting the honor. There are 28 clergymen in this dio cese who will have the nominating power t the convention. Each, paPish Is en titled to three lay delegates, and each mission to one lay delegate. The clergy and laymen meet in separate bodies, and after the former have nominated and elected a candidate favorable to them. his name is submitted to the lay dele gates. This is for confirmation, and if lie laymen prove by their votes that they ire not satisfied with the selection of the lergy, another election is conducted, and the second choice submitted for confirma tion, and so on until the lay body con firms the selection of the clergy. The lay- nen are hopeful of the clergy uniting on ;i choice of a candidate at . the coming 'onventlon, so there will be no contest. Rev. Charles Scaddlng Is regarded as a strong candidate for the place. Clampett Might Decline. Rev. K. W. Clampett, of San Francisco, considered a broad churchman, and has i good following here, but It is suggested iiy many that he would probably decline he position if elected to It. This state- nent is based on the fact that this clergy man has a large family, and the salary onnected with the Bishopric of Oregon Is isrdly more than half that hp receives in he San Francisco Trinity Parish. This ffice carries a salary of only $."SKX) per nnuni, with a residence, while that of the I'rlnlty Church In the Bay City is fully .5W0. Rev. Mr. Clampett Is a native of owa. and was at one time assistant al jst. Bartholomew's Church, in New Yorl. f 'Ity. It Is claimed that he Is a splemllu rencher, but his following Is not so large is that of either of the other candidates. Archdeacon Grimes is especially advo ated because of his fine record as a mis sionary worker. At one time he was con- Idered for the Bishopric of Colorado, and was voted on at the convention for that Mice. He Is a middle-agod man, and kvas the choice of the late Bishop Morris or the pluce of coadjutor. Tho wide experience of Mr. Scaddlng tnd his successful lectures in Eastern states and England are used as argu nents In his behalf by those who favor itm for tho future bishop, Mr. Scaddlng s also a fine preacher. It is thought that the election of a Ishop will be made the first order of busl irss at the coming convention, after vhlch routine work will be taken up. In- orest naturally Increases as the time for lection draws near, and the different tv rch factions are each watchful of the nT.-rests of their candidate. Archdeacon Crimes is a high churchman and Rev. Mr. Padding a conservative, Mr. Clampett elng favored by the broad churchmen. .YORK FOR SUFFRAGE CAUSE tatisllcs Are Produced at tho Ore gon Association Headquarters. Statistics were produced at yesterday's leeting of the Oregon State Suffrage As- oelatlon in refutation of the statement ade by the antis that suffrage would re- ult In Injury to the commercial Interests f the country.

Did you ever notice where a boy first wears out his coat? We have. A boy's arms are constantly on the go; naturally the sleeve lining in the ann-pit and half way to the elbow receives hard wear. In a "HERCULES" BOYS' SHOWER PROOF SUIT we have strengthened or reinforced all parts which receive hard wear ; the sleeve lining has not been forgotten. The illustration tells the story; two sleeve linings instead of one where the wear is most severe ; both are made of strongest twilled Sateen; both will wear the' life of the suit When the first lining wears out all you do is to rip it off ; the new lining is in place ready for wear. , It is a tittle thing to talk about but it is otk of the "little" things that help make one "HERCULES" give the service of too "ordinary" suits of the same price i in other vords 10 worth of clothes tervice for $5.00. Look for the " HERCULES" double reinforced sleeve lining ( " Patent ap plied for"); no other boy's coat made has two sleeve linings. Boys' "HERCULES" Suits are made from guaranteed all tvoot double and Ovist Cassimere. We 'will make you a present of a "HERCULES" suit if you find a thread of mercerized or plain every day cotton in "HERCULES" fabrics.

CRUSADE AGAINST VICE Notorious Characters .Must Move North of the Dead Line. A boast that Mayor Lane had been seen and that things had been "fixed," and that Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald would not Interfere in the removal of a certain notorious character from 127 Park street threw "Irish" Young, a gambler and dissolute character, into the hands of the police last evening. Young, who has not been molested' for more than two years, although his habits have been well known, boasted publicly that Carmen Clark, a trafficker In vice, would not be compelled to move, although others of her class have been compelled to change their quarters to a district north of Burnslde street. When Fitzgerald learned that it had been Intimated that he would not inter fere, and that he would close his eyes to complaints, he went to police headquar ters, and was closeted with Chief Gritz macher for some time. Mr. Fitzgerald would not discuss the conversation he had with the Chief when he came from the latter's office, but let it be known that Carmen Clark would receive no more pro tection than anyone else.

EAST SIDE GETS ANOTHER Third Presbyterian Church Pur chases Fine Kimball Pipe Or gan at Eilers. The beautiful two-manual pipe organ which has attracted so much attention at Eilers Piano House has been secured by the committee of the Third Presbyterian Church, corner of Thirteenth and East Pine streets, and will be set up and ready for operation In time for today's services. This is the third expensive Kimball pipe organ to be installed by Eilers Piano House within a period of three weeks, the others being ordered by the Cathedral, here in Portland, and the United Presby terian Church at Albany. The latter, known as the S. G. Irvine, D. D., -memorial organ, was formaly dedicated on Wednesday evening last, before a large and enthusiastic audience. And still another order was received late yesterday afternoon for another of the fa mous Kimball pipe organs, the $3000 style, for the beautiful, new Central Christian Church at Walla Walla. Wash. The keen est competition entered Into the latter contract, but the committee In charge of the selection, after careful examination, found that the Kimball pipe organ was superior In construction and tonal quali ties to all others, and awarded the eon tract to the Eilers House. The Kimball pipe organ is operated un der what is technically known as the du plex pneumatic system, controlled exclu sively by patents of the W. W. Kimball Company, Chicago. By this method the action is operated by two pressures of wind, one heavier than the other, the heavier one closing the valves and the lighter one opening them. Under this sys tem all the cumbrous springs, flanges and stops are eliminated, and so long as the wind is in the Instrument it Is bonnd to operate. Another remarkable feature of the Kim ball organ, and one which is highly in dorsed by master organists. Is the touch the repetition being marvelously quick and much lighter even than in a high-class piano. All the organs mentioned above will be installed by experts regularly employed by Eilers Piano House, the popular piano and organ dealers of this city. Y. M. C. A. auditorium. James H.
