St. Elmo. The long heralded Belasco produc tion, "St. Elmo," has come and gone, and the majority of Pendletonian re gulars have seen the famous trail blazer. "St. Elmo" Is a heavy melo drama and had not the cast been above the average, there would not have been much to recommend the piece to the' critically inclined. The best element of the play last night was the character revelation for which the part of St. Elmo Murray affords a splendid vehicle. Charles Gunn, who essayed the role, appeared to splendid advantage in .portraying the man whose faith In humanity had been blighted by the treachery of his dearest friend and betrothed wife. As the cynical half-devil sneering at all virtues, he rivaled the famous "Drun ken Charlie" Steel in "The Right ot Way." Some were disappointed in Gerda Nelson who appeared In the role of Edna Earl In whom was the redemp tion' of St. Elmo, but those who have read- the novel will agree that her conception and portrayal was in ac cord with the heroine of the book. The other parts were In capable hands and all of the cast will be welcome back again. SOOTHSAYER GETS BLAME. Disappointed Brides and Bridegrooms Would Sue Him. Paris. Is a jilted bride or a disap pointed bridegroom Justified in lodg ing a complaint against a fortune teller, if the "fortune" has not turn ed out as It was predicted? Such, it seems, is now the case submitted to a Paris magistrate concerning a man described as an astrologer, inhabit ing one of the picturesque heights on the outskirts of the city, and who has had customers enough to populate a large town. Young and old have gone to him to have their fortunes revealed. Girls wanted to know If they were go ing to marry soldiers and be happy and young men wanted to know how to find the brunette or the blonde that would suit them, with a hand some dowry, while widows looked for a second husband and disappointed lovers wanted to know how fate would revenge them. The so-called astrologer has, it seems been giving satisfaction to all until recently. Some of his custom ers, finding that the predictions did not exactly come out as they had ex pected, vented their discontent In a formal complaint, which they lodged with a magistrate. A police officer was appointed to Inquire into the case, and the first discovery which he made was that the fortune teller had a vast "practice," which the most successful practitioner might envy. He had as many as 15,000 customers In all ranks of society. . When applied to, he would readily, and without exacting a fee, cast the horoscope of the applicant. If more was wanted, the price was $10 for a complete "fortune," $5 for one less complete, $3 for a period of 15 years, $2 for ten years, SI for five years, etc. Those who encouraged the al leged astrologer actually proposed a sort of association of his followers, to be called the "Universal Fraternal and Spiritualist Union," with the ob ject of buying him a house, to cost about $6000, to be built somewhere In the country, preferably on a high lit BE HELD HERE WILL BE ONE OF BIGGEST EVER HELD IN THIS SECTION Dr. Maurice W. Eldrldge, Fflmed As Good Roads Enthusiast, . Will Be Principal Speaker Series of Meet ings Planned Over State. Chairman Brock of the good roads committee of -the Commercial associa tion and officers ot the county good roads association are planning to hold one of the biggest good roads meetings eastern Oregon has1 ever seen. The metings Is, to be held here the eve ning of May 21 and the principal speaker will be Dr. Maurice W. Eld rldge of the good roads branch of the department of agriculture at Wash ington, than whom there is no better known or competent authority In the country. The number of good roads enthu siasts In Umatilla county is daily growing larger, much Interest Is be ing manifested in the movement and it Is believed that the attendance at the coming meeting will far exceed that of any similar meeting ever held la tTili i a:t of the state. It is also hoped that the meeting will result in furthering the movement .for better roads throughout the state. The meting to be held in this city Is oJi ue nt a series of 23 to be held in ... : nt parts of Oregon from On tario cn the east, Portland on the west, to Pendleton on the north and Ashland on the south. Through Senator Bourne the gov ernment originally" offered a series of 10 lectures for the state of Ore gon, but the good roads enthusiasts asked for more, with the result that the following cities will be visited by the lecturing party and will have the opportunity of getting the latest In formation on good roads construc tion: Ontario, May 16; Bakery City, May 17; Enterprise, May 18; La Grande, May 19; Heppner, May 20; Pendleton, May 21; Condon. May 23; Moro, May 24; The Dalles, May 25; Hood River, May 26; Dallas, May 27, Portland, May 28; McMinnville May 30;Forest Grove, May 31; Oregon City, June 1; Salem, June 2; Albany, June 3; Rose burg, June 7; Grants Pass, June 8; Medford, June 9; Ashland, June 10. Back of the campaign of lectures in Oregon are several strong organiza tions whose influence penetrates all sections of the state, and through these organizations endeavor will be made to get throngs of city, town and country people out to the lecture at every point visited. Secretary Bates, working through his 1200 threshers, will arouse Indi vidual interest and urge each of the 1200 to attend the meetings and take along all the farmers In his neigh borhood. Secretary L, Therkelsen, jr., of the Oregon State Automobile association, will work through all the city and county automobile organizations, and the Portland Automobile club will al so take active part In rousing general Interest. Judge Lionel Webster, chair man of the State Good Roads associa tion, who will accompany the lecturer on the tour of the state, will also use his personal Influence to arouse wide spread interest in the educational lec tures. Hundreds of letters of inquiry and many telegrams from various points throughout Oregon give evidence of the universal Interest In good roads construction and the government's ed ucational undertaking along these lines. The big good roads convention at Albany this summer Is expected to be a vigorous and rousing one, such as never has been held In the northwest before.
