War far iisiie Crowds Attend Reception at Clothing House. Congregationalists Plan Home at Sunnyside. ALL THOROUGHLY MODERN STRUCTURE COSTS $25,000 H. M. Gray Has Assembled Many TTp-to-Date Conveniences In Vine Quarters, J list Opened X. p to Public. To design and complete the best ap pointed and most artistic wearing ap parel shop in America for ladies and gentlemen and to locate that shop 1n Portland, has been the ambition of R. M. Gray, one of Portland's progressive clothing merchants. To accomplish this Mr. Gray has traveled over 60,00 miles In the past two years, examining stores and shops all over America. With the knowl edge thus gained and with the advant ages which the latest invention has af forded, aided with his own Instinctive taste, he has come, he believes, to the realization of his ambition. The shop opened by Mr. Gray yester day at Fourth and Morrison streets, possesses the quality of simplicity and beauty. All the furniture Is of quarter sawed oak. Including the mirror-frames. Kvery article of clothing is behind glass cabinets, absolutely dust-proof and germ proof. Another distinctive feature Is the manner in which clothing Is displayed. All garments, whether in the men's or the women's departments, hang on racks, which may be drawn out and returned Into the cabinets without wasting time In turning over heaps of goods, as waa the old custom. Each garment on these racks Is kept separate from the other garments, and Is also kept in shape by being hung on frames attached to the racks. By this method a customer may ee at a glance the style, shape, color and quality of the goods, and time will be saved both to purchaser and seller. A novel and attractive arrangement is that of prism lights, which extend along Morrison street to the south and Furth street to the west. These lights, run ning the entire length of the store, give an extraordinary amount of light, ex tending to every part of the store, and enable a customer to see at once the color and grade of goods shown, or the fit of garments when tried on and examined. Single and triple mirrors afford full opportunity for examining the fit of gar ments. In every conceivable manner the store, modestly termed 'shop" by its proprietor, is strictly up to, and even beyond date, for It embodies In Its en semble qualities which can scarcely be claimed for another store of Its kind In the United States. The opening of the establishment waa attended by an immense crowd of both men and women, curious to see the new features of the shop, and an excellent orchestra furnished music from 2 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and from 7 to 9 o'clock during the evening. A number of beautiful floral pieces, sent as tokens of good wishes by some of Mr. Gray's friends adorned both the men's and the ladles' departments, and the window dis play was one of the moat handsome to be imagined. , BURGLARS BUNGLE JOB ATTEMPT TO OPEN IiATTNDKY SAFE IS A FAILURE. Mrs. Amelia Ray. one of Oregon's earli est pioneers, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Wallace Mauzay, 70S Marion street, Seattle, Wash.; on March 20. of pneumonia. Mrs. Ray waa born October 15. 1835. at Nottingham, Eng land. At the age of 7 years she .left England with her parents In a sailing Cracksmen, Evidently Amateurs, Unsuccessful When They Try to Blow Strongbox. Burglars made an unsuccessful attempt Saturday morning to blow up the safe of the Yale Laundry, at Tenth and East Morrison streets, but only succeeded in making a great deal of trouble for the management. The combination knob and the handle of the door were broken off with a sledge hammer, and two holes were bored through the door with a half- inch drill. Through these holes the burglars poured nytroelyeerlne and then tried to explode It by a fuse and cap. The ftnst attempt was unsuccessful as the explosive ran Uown the inside of the door to the bottom and the fuse and cap, used to discharge the nitroglycerine, had no effect. A second attempt was made to nre it out tne robbers evidently became frightened or gave up the attempt as the second charge was not exploded, but left in the door of the safe. Their tools, which had been taken from a blacksmith shop near by, were left in the building togi'iner with some of the explosive. This was In a couple of Ink wells which were left standing on a shelf near bv. The holes were drilled while the safe was in the front room, evidence of this being shown by the filings that were left scattered on the floor. After this the safe was taken to the rear room by means of e crowbar. This Instrument was also used to effect entrance into the building as the bruises on a window casing on the west side plainly showed. Clothes were piled upon the safe In ordor to muffle the sound of the ex plosion. As soon aa the attempted rob bery waa discovered yesterday morning the police were notified and an expert was called to open the safe in order to allow the employes to get the laundry lists locked inside. Some anxiety was felt as to whether the Saturday's de liveries would be made but after nearly six hours, the expert succeeded in making an entrance to the safe and obtained the lists. From the methods used by the bur glars it was evident that they were novices at the business. There was ap proximately $150 in the safe in gold and silver.

Shall Portland own an electric light ing plant and shall the Madison-street bridge fund of (450,000 be diverted to the construction of a span across the Willamette River at Mill street? These are among the highly- important ques tions to be settled by the electors in June. -These and other amendments have been prepared by City Attorney Kavanaugh at the request of various interests and will be submitted by the initiative. 'The East Side Business Men's Club is sponsor for the amendment pro posed, calling for a bond issue of $2,000,000 for the construction and op eration of a municipal lighting plant, and the proposition to divert the Madison-street bridge fund toward the pro posed Mill-street fund is backed by various interests in South Portland. The City Attorney is still investigating this one, as there is some question as to the legality of the proposed action. The East Side Business Men's Club is also back of a proposed amendment to pay for the installation of all water mains of 10 inches and more from a special fund, and an amendment pro viding for a tax levy for the purpose, and to pay for other mains by special assessment. The City Council is author of a proposed amendment calling for the issuance of $150,000 bonds for the purchase of ground and construction of a municipal garbage plant. The most important proposed amend ment of the entire list thus far made public is the one calling for the bond Issue of (2,000,000 for an electric light ing plant. A brief summary of the amendments follows: An amendment providing that all wa ter mains of the size of 10 inches and over be paid out of a special fund cre ated for that purpose; and an amend ment providing for an additional tax levy of one-half mill to cover the cost of laying such mains, all other mains to be paid by special assessment.

The man who worked hard was sup posed to require meat two or three times a day. Science haa found out differently. It is, now a common thing for the lamny pnysiclan to order less meat, as in tho following letter from a N. Y. man. "I had suffeVed for years with dys pepsia and nervousness. . My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual break fast of chops, friend potatoes, etc, but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food. "After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than th (500.00 worth of medicine I had taken before. "My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are a very happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts.

If complaints made yesterday with the County Clerk's office may be relied upon, the wedding of O. C Waddell and Texcella McCann is being mourned by a large coterie of both sexes. An el derly person, who declined to give his name, averred that the bride promised to marry him, then borrowed $1065.50 and broke her word. After the advent of this mourner a woman appeared and complained to Deputy County Clerk Rose that the groom promised to marry her & short time since, and on the strength of the prospective match bor rowed the sum of'$200. In both instances tho complainants wanted to know how the money was to b recovered. The elderly male mourner represented to Deputy County Clerk Wilds that ho needed the money and would not have parted with it except that he thought he soon was to be mar rled to the woman.
