CITY NEWS IN BRiEF
OORDRATS THEATER tWaohlncton etreet)
Evening; ''Hottest Oooa in Dixie."
PnVB COSOOSBIOSERS SCOWOKICAI A
number of councilmen gathered at the City
iHaU yesterday to chat about city affairs.
Milton Weldler, clerk of the board of Are
commissioners, also dropped in, and the
Aiuestion of when the fire commissioners
were to set hold of the $26,003 appropriated
some time ajro for the maintenance of tho
fire department came up for discussion.
Weldler said the commissioners wanted the
money, and -would spend it to good ad
vantage when they got It They would
like to get the $13,000 intended for them
now In the hands of the city treasurer,
and City Attorney Long had stated that
-they were entitled to it, but Auditor Gam
hell was of a different opinion. Colonel
Weldler said he had heard that the coun
cil contemplated repealing the ordinance
making the appropriation for the fire de
partment, and asked several of the coun
cilmen If they had heard of this being
considered. None of the councilmen ap
peared to have any definite Information in
regard to the matter, but several intimated
that it was scarcely probable that the fire
department would get any more than Its
proper share of the money, as provided
In the apportionment. The fire commis
sioners have been looking ahead to a
shortage of funds, and have come through
the year with some $13,000 In hand, which
is a very creditable showing, and about
the first time on record when any com
mission has come through the year" with
a surplus.
Compuunino or Good Itjck. A large
number of sportsmen went out for ducks
on Sunday, and most of them have been
complaining of poor luck. Those who
went on Columbia slouga saw the greatest
flight of ducks ever heard of going up the
river, but flying high and out of reach.
They were disgusted at securing only 30
to 40 ducks each, and evidently imagine
that they had some kind of a lien on
those they saw in the higher altitudes.
Down on Sauvie's island the shooters also
played In hard luck. A party of three
complain that they began shooting early
in the morning, and the ducks were so wild
that they got up and got out, and the
three only got 125 ducks. A moan also
comes from four persons who shot at Jew
etts, and got only 115 ducks. It looks as
if those shooters wanted the earth. Thirty
or 40 ducks to a gun is enough to supply
the hunter's family and friends, and is
as many as a man can carry comfort
ably, and If less ducks are shot the sup
ply will last the longer. It may be that
the ducks have learned that shooting Is
done only on Sundays, and are learning
to fly high and lie low on that day.
First-Stbebt Ratxjiojld. The commit
tee on streets met at the City Sail yes
terday &nd began the business of 1900 by
going out to look over the line of the
First-street railway franchise, which Glass
and Smith ask to have renewed. Thoy
were accompanied by Oeneral Superin
tendent J. E. Thlelsen, of the Portland
Street-Railway Company, and it is hinted
that if the franchise is granted, the Port
land Street-Railway Company may build
the proposed road. The extension of this
company's Sixteenth-street line, down
Mneteenth street and Sherlock avenue to
the St Helens xoad, a distance of about
.a mile, 1b nearly completed, and If all goes
wsll will be ready for operation In about
two weeks. Councilman Martin, of the sec
ond ward, gays his constituents are much
pleased wlththe energy shown in build
ing this extension, and also with the fact
that the company has taken great pains
to leave the street in good condition.
putting all the large stones below the sur- J
face, and making a good surface with the
fine stuff, a rather unusual thing for rail
way companies to do.
Reai. Fire, This Time. Box 142 sent in
an alarm for a sure-enough fire yesterday
ssornlng, at 3:20, much to the surprise of
the firemen "who had been fooled by box
442va times last -month. On this occa--slon,
a one-Story cpttage, 'on the north
east corner of Sixth and Davis streets,
was enveloped In flames before the alarm
was turned In, and the blaze admonished
the department to be quick in coming to
the rescue. The premises was occupied
by Mrs. Ytta Waldock, who kept a fruit
stand In the front room and lived with
her daughter to the rooms adjoining. She
was rudely awakened by the fierce blaze
that had taken possession of the sitting
room, and she harely had time to escape
with her daughter through the bedroom
window. Mrs. Waldock's property was in
sured for $400, but she estimates her loss
at ?550. The building Is a total loss, but
will not cost over $250 to replace. Dr.
Mackenzie owns the property, and carries
no Insurance.
drowned.-A young man known to his
companions as "Shorty," fell from a wood
scow lying at tho foot of Oak street last
evening, at 8:15, and was drowned. He
was quitting the employ of Cone & Noon
ing, wood dealers, and carried a roll of
blankets with him. On trying to pass on
board tho steamer Eugene, which was
lying between the scow and the dock, he
evidently lost his footing. It was quite
dark, and no one saw him fall, but his
cries attracted the attention of the crew
oX the steamer Regulator," just below, and
a line was thrown to him, but he failed
to grasp it and sunk out of sight A boat
was lowered from the barge and search
made, but nothing more was seen of him.
His fellow workmen think he belongs In
Oregon City.
-Rested the First Dat. Public offices,
stores, markets, etc, were more generally
closed yesterday than is usual on New
Year's, and although the day was un
usually fine for the season, few persons
were abroad, except at the football game,
and the city was very quiet Everybody
has been hard worked during the holiday
season, and all seemed inclined to take a
, rest on the first day of the year, and
start In fresh for another year's work.
: No intoxicated persons were seen on the
streets, which Is probably attributable
principally to the fact that the fashion of
making Now Year's calls has fallen into
disuse.
At 2-he Cathedrae Midnight mass
was celebrated by Archbishop Christie, at
dc aviary s caxnearal, on Sunday night, at
12 o'clock. The solemnization of the mass
Tvas in accordance with a special privilege
granted to Catholics throughout the world
fcy Pope Leo XHL After mass was ended
Archbishop Christie spoke about the good
resolutions that should be made and fol
lowed during the new year. The musical
programme was the same as on Christmas,
the special feature being the fine ren
dition of "Ave Maria," by Mrs. A CL
Sheldon.
Steward at the Portland. Matt
elth has been engaged by Manager Bow
ers, of the Portland hotel, to act as stew
ard of that establishment and assumed
his duties yesterday. Mr. Bowers has so
far attended to the catering for the hotel
himself, but since the opening of the grill
room he has found the work too much
for one person to attend to. Mr. Keith
is thoroughly qualified in every way for
his new position, having been engaged in
catering and marketing for the past 20
years.
Ten- Per Cent Increase. The receipts
from the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes
and postal cards at the Portland post
office, for the month of December,
amounted to $20,053 55, as compared with
J18.197 44, for the corresponding month of
the previous year, showing an Increase
for the month of $1856 1L This is a very
satisfactory showing.
New Steps Put In. Advantage was
taken of the fact that the postofflce was
closed yesterday to put In position the new
stone steps at the mam entrance. The
steps will be ready for use today, and will
be found a great Improvement on the old
ones, which were badly worn and unsafe
In frosty weather.

AUDIENCE STAMPEDED.
"Greater America" Too Much, for
Portland Theater-Goers.
If a bad beginning makes a good end
ing, the attractions at the Marquam the
latter part of 1900 will be triumphs of
dramatic art Shows worse than "Great
er America," which was the -attraction
at that theater last night, may have been
seen in Portland, but this one has the
distinction of being the first of its class
that was ever allowed fo finish the pro
gramme. Most of tho people left at the
end of the first part Most of the rest
took advantage of an intermission a little
later to make their escape. Seven re
mained In the parquet when the final cur
tain dropped. It was rumored that these
seven were near-sighted and hard of
hearing, but they may have been just
simple every-day heroes and heroines.
"Greater America" consists of The
Drummer Boy of Shiloh, who would have
drummed well enough If the gallery had
been disposed to allow him, a few sing
ers, a musical team which can thank
its good fortune there were no eggs in
the theater, and some pictures, moving
and otherwise. The otherwise variety are
war chromos, which were old in 1855, and
with flags and things thrown in to fill up.
These were intended to arouse patriotism,
and it la possible that the people who left
the audience were stirred to go out and
fight for the flag. They certainly were
moved somehow or other.
At the beginning of the second turn
It began to dawn on the gallery that the
play was lacking in interest, and they
set shout a commendable attempt to do
something for the entertainment of the
audience. They accompanied the musical
team, which was playing "Just One Girl"
on paper-overlaid combs, working In fine
orchestra effects, with whistles and cat
calls. They also made Jocular remarks
to the announcer. Inquiring where he pur
chased his Derby, and asking If his fam
ily were well. From that time forward
the5 made things pleasant for the actors,
furnishing them with lines when memory
appeared about to fail, and punctuating
every sentence with enthusiastic applause.
They also conversed with each other in
tones which proved that the megaphone
is an invention of questionable utility.
The arnouncer, however, was serene.
When he Informed the audience that a
civil war scene was about to be produced
and the klnetoscope man turned on a rail
road train running at 80 miles' an hour
he remained Impassive. He recited the
doggerel which accompanied the chromos
with a steady voice, and with a tremen
dous emphasis, which was the more
marked because it invariably fell at the
wrong places in his sentences. He even
resisted the temptation which must have
been strong within him to talk back to
the gallery gods. Here is where he made
a mistake, for a conversation of this kind
would undoubtedly have kept the crowd.
"Greater America" was billed for to
night, but Manager Hellig shut the house
against the aggregation.
a
SUCCESSFUL BANDMASTER.
JAbcra.il, the Great Cornetlst of
Former Portland Expositions.
"Tjlberatl, the famous cornetlst, who in
years past, at the Exposition, aroused
the enthusiasm of many thousands of
Portland music-lovers. Is achieving bril
liant success In the East as a bandmas
ter. His military band, of 65 musicians,
has just been offered a life contract at
Philadelphia's great pleasure resort,
Washington Park, on the Delaware,
where in 1898 he drew over 2,000,000 aud't
ors In 12 weeks, and almost double that
number in 1899.
SIgnor Llberatl has now under his gen
eral direction two suberb bands, one of
which, consisting of 45 musicians, during
last summer, captivated the patrons of
Ontario Beach Park and hotel, at Char
lotte, N. Y. This and his Washington
Park organization were combined dur
ing the national G. A. R. encampment
at Philadelphia, September 1 to 10, which
small army of musicians, 110 strong, was
shown the distinguished honor of being
chosen to head the escort of the presi
dent of the United States on the occasion
of the grand review, which was led by
SIgnor LIberatI personally. This Is said
to have been the largest band that ever,
paraded in this country.
The career of this well-known cornet
soloist and bandmaster has been full of
honors. From 1872 to 1S75 he was band
master of artillery and special cornet so
loist to his excellency the Earl of Duf
ferln, Canada, From 1875 to 1S77, band
master of the Detroit National Guards,
Michigan, and escorted that organization
to the Centennial, at Philadelphia, in 1876,
meeting with the greatest success in every
city en route. In 1886, bandmaster of
the Seventy-first regiment, National
Guards, state of New York. In 1891 Llb
eratl was engaged for a long season as
the leading feature at Alhambra theater,
London, England.
Llberatl was especially engaged as the
star soloist to entertain the distinguished
French and German guests of tho nation,
at the Centennial celebration at York
town, in October, 1881. His playing made
such a great impression upon the distin
guished French guests that upon their
return to Paris, Le Marquis de Rocham
beau wrote to General Hancock, express
ing a great desire to obtain a portrait of
SIgnor Llberatl, as a souvenir of Dlb
eratl's delightful musical treat at York-town.
