PIANO MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY GOOD ONES NEW FEATURES PLANNED A Brass led Special 0 0 rn i m - i 3 i" - Fairy Spectacle of "Aladdin or the Wonderful Lamp" Will Be Pre sented Saturday Labor Day Next Week. The Oaks, . the gleaming, glittering, glistening estate of amusement and gaiety, in all Its enchanting and subtle splendor, still continues to attract thousands. Every day at this popular resort seems a day of happiness and frivolity for all who attend. Each week the management plans and car ries out surprises for Its guests. The bright bracing days have proved how the people of Portland prize this wonderful and attractive place of rec reation and amusement. The average of the attendance Is steadily mounting as the season draws to a close. The drawing cards of this resort attract with more and more force, and the apprecia tion of the amusement-loving public Is " being spoken in form more convincing 'than praise. - Excursions are a feature, and it is not uncommon to see a large party of ladies and children up to a hundred or more coming In dally from the neigh boring towns. This will be another gala week, as Manager Frledlander continues to plan some great features to interest not only the ladles and chil dren, but grown-up people as well. Fairy Spectacle to Be Presented. The past fortnight rehearsals have been going on for a magnificent produc tion iu an open-air theater that la be ing expressly built for this occasion for "Aladdin, or His Wonderful Lamp," the beautiful fairy story. No expense Is being spared by the management, and fully 100 children will participate in the performance. It will be the first time on the Coast that an open-air the ater will be seen, and there is not an other such realistic and beautiful spot in the country as at The Oaks for this purpose. All the costumes and stage effects have been planned by a well-known scenic artist, and in every way the production will be a remark able one. The cast embraces the best known professional and amateur chil dren, who will act, sing and dance and present all the popular-nursery rhymes. Owing to the Immense amount of work entailed In connection with this produc tion, the management has set the day for next Saturday afternoon, September 1. There Is no charge to witness the performance at the theater. Labor Day Next Monday. Labor day promises to eclipse In at tendance anything yet witnessed at The Oaks. All the towns of Oregon, Washington and Idaho have promised delegations, and excursions are coming to the city from fully 103 places. There is so much planned to make Labor day an ideal one and attractive that a long programme of novelties is assured. On that day the gates will be thrown open from 9 o'clock In the morning on. One of the surprises In store for the people of the city Is the great out-door pro duction of Shakespeare's beautiful com edy, "As You Like It," which vill be given on the lawns of the grounds of The Oaks, among the picturesque oak trees. The cast will be an exceptional one and the performance complete in every detail. Scores of. Attractions. There are scores of other attractions to attract at The Oaks. With the possible exception of Coney Island, there 1 not another park In the coun try where there is entertainment every where.

Methodist Episcopal Congregations Over AU the Country Will Be Asked to Contribute. Dr. Francis M. Larkin, former pastor of Grace M. E. Church at San Francisco, who has been appointed secretary of the Laymen's fund for the rebuilding of the Methodist Episcopal Churches In California, damaged by the earthquake and fire, is a guest at the Hotel Port land, accompanied by his wife and son. He Is en route to his headquarters at Cincinnati. The purpose of the laymen's fund Is to interest the people throughout the United States in the upbuilding of the churches of San Francisco and vicinity and to get them to aid financially In the enormous undertaking. It Is the desire ot the association to raise $600,000 among the people of the coun try. To a certain extent the soliciting work will be done by mall by means of requests to well-to-do laymen of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In the meantime Rev. Larkin will visit the principal cities-and make personal ap peals to the congregations for assist ance. Nine churches and charitable insti tutions connected with the Methodist Episcopal denomination were total losses by the San Francisco earthquake and fire. These consisted of three churches for English-speaking people, two German, Swedish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese institutions, the Oriental Home and two orphanages. The First Methodist Episcopal Church at San Josa was a total loss, as was the First Church at Santa Clara. Other church property, as far south as San Jose and 100 miles north of San Francisco, was damaged to the extent of $200,000. Three-fourths of the church-going population of the Golden Gate City at the time of the great catastrophe were Catholics. Seventeen buildings the property of this denomination were de molished by the fire and seismic dis turbance. Fifty priests are now trav- 5 ' ' -V A' At ; i t) - -: ' f if - SCENE AT THE OAKS.

"It is not generally known among the people outside of California that the churches are not to receive a dollar from the relief fund which was sent to the San Francisco refugees," Rev. Lar kin said last night. "It is practically out of the question for the people of the stricken city to coma, forward and contribute immense- sums for the re construction of the houses of worship and the benevolent and charitable In stitutions which have been supported by the churches and their congrega tions. These people Buffered great losses themselves In every way. Busi ness men who have always been only too glad to assist our work in every way have suffered more than one can Imagine and many of them are utterly helpless to aid in the task. Years will doubtless be spent before the work is completed. Within a year, however, we expect to have suf ficient funds on hand to have well started the rebuilding o siang ef tfc THE CHICKERING The wonderful regard that the -whole musical world has for the Chickering Piano is the best proof of the excellence of the Chickering tone. This marvelous in strument is not only the oldest established American make, but it has a beauty of tone that is found in no other whatsoever. There is a sweetness and purity iu the tone of the Chickering that no one else has been able to duplicate; there is a never-ending fascination for the player that seems to. increase as time goes on. No discerning musical person can fail to recognize the reason for the reverence and esteem, in which this world-famous instrument is everywhere held, A Chickering costs a little more than the best ordinary piano. But by the expense of that additional little, you secure, beyond all question, the best and the most exquisite piano that the musical industries of the globe can show. In buying a Chickering, you 6ecure to yourself the best it is possible to purchase you will own an instrument that is most truly a thing of beauty and a joy.

As time goes on and the city resumes Its normal condition we shall decide whether It advisable or not to build on the former locations of the different churches. "Public spirited men will be appealed to, as well as others, but our principal work will be among the members of the Methodist Episcopal Churches everywhere. The undertaking Is a tremendous one, but we all have con fidence and in time will have hand some, substantial buildings to take the places of those which now lay among the ruins of the great me tropolis. "San Francisco -will rebuild. It will resume Its former self and again be the great city that It has been for years. The work of the citizens of San Francisco is something monumen tal. Temporary structures have been erected where church services are held regularly and the buildings not com pletely demolished are being repaired and put Into use as fast as possible." Rev. Larkin will speak at the Taylor-Street M. E. Church at 10:30 o'clock this morning on "The Methodist Episcopal Churches In San Francisco and Vicinity." DAILY CITY STATISTICS Marriage Licenses.

The cruiser Marblehead haa been detained at Mare Island Navy Yard, where it will be re paired Instead of at Puget Sound, as at first Indicated. The cruiser will probably be repaired temporarily at a cost of about $5000. which will make it possible for the (Marblehead to remain In service about six months longer.
