A. Paddock, a prominent mem ber of the Pasadena delegation attending the Rose Festival. Cowing and Paddock had made ar rangements to present the noted Sarah repertoire in the Armory, at Duluth and at the last moment the manager of the actress, prompted by economy, laid plans to manage the Divine Sarah himself, and have her appear in a skat ing rink. Thereupon Cowing and Pad dock forestalled the manager by get ting an option on the rink. They neg lected, however, to place a cash de posit in obtaining the option and Bern - nardts manager convincel the rink- owner that the option was void. Cow ing then obtained a temporary Injunc tion which prevented the manager from advertising that Sarah would ap pear in the rink. This compelled Sar ah's generalissimo to send to Chica go for a tent which was staked on the shore of Lake Superior. Duluth turned out in force to see Bernhardt in "Carmen" and the fact that she played the role wrapped up in furs was the subject of an Associated Press dispatch. Duluth newspapers commented, on the fact that nearly everyone who bought a tent seat to see Sarah was stricken with la grippe. W. H. Dean, now superintendent of the Empress Theater building, was im migration Inspector at Duluth at the time. He financed, the court fight of Cowing and Paddock against Sarah's manager, who was fairly successful ii fighting the trust but lost in his com bat with two newspapermen. HDP MERCHANT IS DEAD FTTVERAL OF PHILIP NEIS, AGED 81, TO BE IU-.I.D TODAY. 27 YEARS' WORK IN STORE DISCUSSED Miss Frances Elizabeth Han ley Tells of Steady Rise From Clerk to Buyer. DUTY DECLARED PLEASURE Wonderful Growth of Meier & Prank Company's Store Described and Avoidance of Pitfalls Urged on Women Wage-Earners. BZ ADDISON BENNETT. Tf you enter the Meier & Frank Company's store at the corner of Sixth and Alder streets, you will more than likely see an exceedingly After Residence of 4 3 Years In Ore gon, Man Who Brought First Plants to State Passes. Philip Neis, a pioneer hop merchant of the Pacific Coast, died at his home in the Guild Apartments, on Twenty third street. "Wednesday night at the age of 81 years. Mr. Neis was an active buyer of hop3 In this state for over 40 years, and was known by every Oregon farmer who has grown hops during that period. It was only a few years ago. when his health failed, that he retired from business. He was born at Oberlahnstln-on-the- Rhine on April 29, 1832. His early years were passed in Paris and Havana. He came to the Pacific Coast by way of Panama, landing at San Francisco in 1868. and there established himself as a hop merchant. He first visited Ore gon in 1870, and made regular trips to this state each year until he came here to reside permanently in 1883. Mr. Neis brought the first hop roots to Oregon. He secured them in Bavaria and they were planted in 1870 in the Wells yard at Buena Vista. The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock this morning from St. Patrick's Church, Nineteenth and Savier streets. Inter ment will be at Rose City Cemetery. Mr. Neis Is survived by his widow. He had no children. Bolte to Be Returned. SALEM, Or.. June 14. (Special.) H.

For this young woman has charge of that de partment, one of the highly responsi ble positions in the great store. I knew there were a number of cases of long and satisfactory service among the Meier & Frank Company's em ployes, the facts regarding which might be published. with profit to young people starting on a commercial career, so I went up to the main of fice and asked Julius Meier if he would point out a conspicuous example of lengthy and excellent service. He an swered almost immediately "Go down to the lace and embroidery department on the first floor and see Miss Hanley, the oldest employe in the establish ment." Service Without Break. When I met Miss Hanley I could see at once that Mr. Meier had not meant that she was elderly. In spite of her long service, for she has every appear ance of being about 28 years old, some might say 30, others 25. And yet for 27 years she has been in the employ ment of the Meier & Frank Company's store, 27 years without a single break in her term of service. Her girlish appearance comes, most likely, from a healthful and well-kept body and a normal but active mind, making up a clean life. Yes. her face bespeaks a sweetness that could only come through what the world calls "being a good woman." "There la nothing at all exceptional about my case," remarked Miss Hanley when I told her I would like to write a little story about her, "but If the telling of my experience will do any good to young women, girls seeking employment or now at work, I would be glad to talk to you for The Ore goman." Upon close Inquiry later I found in that sentence one of the causes of the sweetness of Miss Han- ley's life she is ever striving to do good. Emploren Attitude Shown. "When I came to the Meier & Frank store, 27 years ago on the 15th of last January, I found I had. simply joined a large and splendid family. There were about 20 of us all told, and Aaron Meier and Sigmund Frank were really not the employers of us clerks they were like our fathers ought to be, al ways advising, counseling and consol ing us. When, they arrived at the store in the morning they would pass around, and speak a kindly good morn ing to every clerk and ask after any little affair that affected them at closing time they bade us good night. "The' customers, who were largely from the country, were not like the customers of today they, too, were members of our family. They came, usually the whole family, with theil lunch baskets filled. They did theif trading, perhaps some of the younger cierKs looked alter the children, tl en we all gathered around, the big stove and ate our lunch, after which the men folks lighted their pipes, or perhaps cigar one of the firm had given them. "1 had been in a small store for two years before 1 came to Meier & Frank This was the little dressmaking and notion store of Mr. and Mrs. Mozart, where the Corbett building now stands Having a little experience I received at first $6 a week, wich was more than sufficient to support me. From the first day I knew I had taken up my life work, 1 resolved to remain a 'bache lorette, and resolved, , firmly resolved, to master the business and give to my employers the very best service I could;. Early Advice Remembered. "With dear Mr. Meier and that splen did Mr. Frank to counsel me, my work was a pleasure and I loved it; I always have loved it; it has always been a pleasure to mc; always will be. The members of the firm gave me almost as my first counsel get acquainted with your customers; remember their names, their faces, their tastes. I wish I could give the same advice to all young people Just entering employment, and make them feel It, think it and act It as Mr. Meier and Mr. Frank made me. "When we left the old store the dear old store around which such pleas ant memories cling and came up to the store on Morrison, we thought we never could fill the big place with goods and customers. But it soon became too small. Then this additional building was put up; still we are short of space. I carry in my department as large a stock I guess larger than the entire stock carried by the Meier & Frank store when I entered it and 1 thought It was a mighty big store when I went to work there. "I have in my little family, for I try to make my girla feel well, I won't go into that but I always have a splendid; corps of girls under me and we get along splendidly, jusx splendidly. There are 18 of them, so my department is about as large in point of employes and capital invested as the whole 'great' Meier & Frank store of 1886." Pay Considered Incidental. I asked Miss Hanley about the in creases that had come to her in the way of salary, but she "did not remember exactly. She remarked that she had "never worked for the pay envelope or by the clock." But her salary soon was put up to 98 a week, then X12, then well, she is receiving more pay than at least half a dozen bank cashiers in town, and the funny part of it is they treat her up in the office of Meier v Frank Company as If she earns more than she gets, while she says she gets more than she earns. Mr. Meier did not tell you quite all of the truth when he said I was the oldest employe in point of service. Abe Meier was working around the store when I came. Julius was a little fellow in knickerbockers, but he came shortly after. But aside from the members of the families of the firm I have seen them all come and go." As Miss Hanley talked to me I thought "what a splendid sermon for the girls and young women that would make those who think there Is no harm in stepping up quite close to the line over which no girl can safely step. Even when at work for Mr. and Mrs. Mozart, Miss Hanley paid her own way, and with 94 a week she was independent; but her mind was on her business, not on joy-riding, on the frivolities and pitfalls that await those who think it "awfully jolly" to walk close enough to the deadline to see the wrecks on the other side. Wax to Success Indicated. "It pays one in every way," said Miss Hanley, "to put their whole heart and mind on their work. It brings them an advance in wages before they even ex pect It. It brings peace of mind. It brings all manner of successes. Why, if you lov your work as I love mine. you just haven't got time to do foolish or silly things or anything that would cause a blush on your cheek if all the world knew it. If you work right you will more than likely live right- If you live right you are a friend to your self, and all who meet you are your friends.
