THE- HOENING-. OBEGQNIA-N, . WEDNESDAY, JAN'TJAET 17, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF MARQUAM GRAND HaOnee and evening, "AmyRobsart." COEDKArS THEATER (Washington street) "Human Hearts." A Nbwspapse "Ruction." A noisy crowd about The Oregonian building at tracted a cood deal of attention yesterday afternoon. A simple statement will show -what It was all about. The Evening Tele gram is sold at the office to boys who -wish to sell It on the streets. Great numbers at boys have been taking- out more cop es han the market would take, and as a consequence hundreds of copies were re turned unsold. The management of The Telegram, wishing to put a stop to the excessive waste of paper, explained to the boys that they should not take out so many copies, but only as many as they conld expect to sell; and then If they should sell out and want more, they could return to the office and get them. The price to the boys was 2 cents a copy, as heretofore; but papers would not be taken back, and In order to guard them against loss the boys were advised to take fewer papers. So they resolved .not to take any, which was quite right; but when the carriers came out with bundles of papers for delivery to subscribers, the boys, In stigated by meddlesome and mischief-making grown persons, eet upon the carriers, .and these grown persons egged them on to beat the carriers and tear tip their pa pers, and even assisted, when others went to protect them. This is the explanation of the disturbance. The management of The Telegram asks no boy to sell the 3aper, but tffers it ior 24 cents to such os want to sell it. But copies cannot be taken back, for the reason that it causes too great a waste of paper. Boys can take a few copies at a time, and return If they want more. The waste often has been excessive, and it cannot be continued. This explanation is given, for the Informa tion of reasonable people. To such as are not reasonable no explanation is worth the trouble. Of course, it is absurd and fool ish waste to print hundreds and thousands of copies in excess of the demand of the (market. Opticians Meet. The second quarterly meeting of the Oregon Association of Opticians "was iield on Monday evening at the Auditorium. A large number of opti cians from all over the state were as sembled, and listened with great Interest to the excellent programme which had been prepared. The features of the even ing were papers by Dr. Charles P. Tor rance and Xr. Don C. Phillips, both creat ing a very favorable impression. The following members were admitted to the association: C "W- Lowe, Eugene; C. H. Hinges, Salem; O. A. Kramer, Indepen dence; M. J. Abbott, Forest Grove; C. D. Uvans, "Grant" s Pass; S. W. Barr, Salem; H. J. Winters, Newberg; W. J. Jorgen sen. Burns; TJ. B. Vogle, Corvallls; A. E. Butterfleld, D. W. Kolle, A. W. "Wright and Mrs. Ben P. "Watson, of Portland. The by-laws were so amended as to ex clure from the association street fakirs, nouae-to-house peddlers, and those who cold classes at fairs and expositions. The next meeting will be held in Portland, on the third Monday in April. Dr. Torrance will give & continuation of nis paper on heterophovia. taking up the field of testing and adjustment H. S. Butterfield will read a paper on lens-grinding, and P. G. Daut one on optics in general. Democrats Meet. The Multnomah county democratic central committee held a meeting last night, which was pre jeided over by G. M. Wells. George E. Chamberlain, chairman of the executive committee of the Democratic Central Club, stated that the club had rented head quarters In room 524, Chamber of Com merce, where regular meetings would be Jield after February 1 He tendered the county committee the use of the room, and tho committee will meet there hereafter. The committee voted to invite the mem hers of the state central committee to hold the state convention In Portland. The matter of ward clubs was dicussed, ari&fit was decided to encourage the fdrma-' tlon -of the same. A public meeting will be held early in February, and It Is ex pected that some prominent democrat from abroad will be present and address the assemblage. Mb, Stearns Set Right. David S. Stearns was quoted, in a real estate arti cle published in Sunday's Oregonian, as saying that real estate values In 1900 show an increase of from 10 to 25 per cent over OS90. The questions which The Oregonian submitted to real estate dealers were mani folded, and it is probable that in the list sent to Mr. Stearns "ISM" was so indis tinct as to be easily mistaken for 4,1S99." Correcting the mistake, Mr. Stearns writes: "Selling prices of real estate are from 40 to 60 per cent lower than they were 10 years ago, although the real values, due to substantial improvements, are much greater now than In 1S90. My reply of an increase of from 10 to 25 per cent was made under the Impression that I was comparing values in 1900 with those of 1S99." Concert at Seamen's Institute. The regular weekly concert will be given to night at Seamen's Institute. These con certs are sometimes given by the seamen themselves and on other nights by shore people. Tonight Is landlubber's night. The concerts are growing in popularity among the sailors and the Portland peop'e as well. As there is an unusually small num ber of vessels in port now, the rooms will not be crowded with seamen tonight, and this will be an exceptionally good oppor tunity for visitors to enjoy the concert. The-superintendent, Dr. J. Douglas Hay, always keeps the latchstrlng hanging on the outside. Scandinavian Repu3iicans. A meeting of the Scandlvanian Republican Club was held in the "Worcester block last evening. Tho meeting was well attended, and gen eral Interest was manifested. Anions other business transacted, the following were chosen delegates to the state republican league, which meets February fi, next, in this city: C. F. Pearson, Gustav Ander son, Samuel Holm, Edward J. Grabs, O. H. Anderson, H. P. Christiansen, Fred Xi. Olson, A M. Johnson, E. Gunderson, A. G. QuisL "Wong "Wat's "Woes. Wong "Way was fined $10 In the municipal court yes'erday for an assault on Ah Wing with a meat ax. Wong accused Wing of stealing clothes from him, and this caused the fight. At one time Wing was tempted and he fell. He was a thief, and since then he has borne the mark of Cain. When Wong learned of his mistake he regretted hav ing assaulted "Wing, and offered to pay the doctor bills. A white man was tho real thief, and he has been apprehended. Retail Clerks' Parade. Among the other labor disturbances that broke the monotonous silence of the city last night was another parade by the Retail Clerks Union. The same banners and transparen cies bearing on the "'close-at-6-o'clock" situation were carried, and the same Third-street merchant who refuses to close got the benefit of the major part of the parade. Swindler at IaArge. Recently some beggar has been passing himself off as the brother of Father Breen, O. P., of the Portland clergy. Word of the fraud Tcached the reverend gentleman, and he is anxious to have every one know that it is an imposition. The beggar is no relative, laving taken the name merely to further his swindling designs. Cocaine Fiend Jah.ed.-W. A. Lebo, a cocaine fiend in the last stages of the habit, was sentenced to 345 days In the county jail yesterday in the municipal court Lebo is an old jailbird, and this sentence to him simply means going home.

Chance), attorneys at law umpter. Or. Barbers Prospering. The announce ment that the barbers union was going to fight all nonunion shops seemed to have a salutary effect, as at present Presi dent Hutch.nson eays there are less than 15 barbers in the city not belonging to the union, that is, without the boss barbers, who cannot hold, membership. He. also states that one shop has suffered very much by unauthorized reports spread about to the effect that the proprietors were fighting the union. This, he says, is not true, and the shop has applied for a card. The most violent of the very few shops that have objected to the union has stated through the state board that it will meet the union half way. The boys all say their order Is very prosperous. They will give some form of a social next week. Illustrated Lecture D. A. Sinclair, secretary of the Dayton (O.) Young Men s Christian Association, delivered a very Interesting illustrated lecture at the First Baptist church last night He had very many stereoptlcon views; In fact, enough to last an enjoyable hour and a half. The illustrations included the pictures of many prominent people, and evoked much ap plause from the audience. Mr. Sinclair showed many of the prominent T. M. C. A, buildings throughout the country, and he explained the good work being done by that organization. He took the audi ence through the T. M. C. A. building of Dayton, showing them the work being done. Mr. Sinclair is making these lec tures for no pecuniary gain, but simply for the love of the work he Is engaged in. Gymnasium at the Road Club. The Oregon Road Club has started its pro posed gymnasium. About two months back, shower and tub baths and lockers were put in, and yesterday carpenters were busy hanging rings and erecting a stand for the punchlng-bag. The new ap paratus has been "placed in the building that was formerly the cyclery. It Is the purpose of the club officers to proceed slowly in the matter of a gymnasium, so as not to place the club in debt again, after its hard effort to get out of it An other reason for proceeding slowly Is to see how much the members use tho ap paratus, and thus how much they desire a gymnasium. The club Intends also to build a handball court In the very near future. Alt. Bids Rejected. The board of pub lic works, which took under consideration the four bids submitted for the, Improve ment of Twenty-first street, yesterday de cided to reject them all. The reasons given for this action are that the bids are irregular in form and unreasonably high, the lowest being nearly ?800 In ex cess of the cost of the work as estimated by City Engineer Chase. The action of the board will render it necessary to re advertise for bids for the work, and the Improvement will in consequence be de layed several weeks at least The bids were as follows: Fralney & Rellly, $9S60 77; Smyth & Howard, $9445 46; Portland Sand & Contract Company, ?S091 41; Star Sand Company, $9220 12. Will Be Speedilt Improved. It Is very Improbable that anything can now Inter fere to prevent the early Improvement of East Morrison street The time for filing a remonstrance is past, and the city engineer will at once prepare estimates of the probable cost and an ordinance pro viding for the time and manner of improv ing the street will be prepared, and with out doubt be passed by the council and at once signed by the mayor, and the work will be commenced as soon as these mat ters are attended to. Burglars in TJntversitt Building. The university building at University Park, which has been vacant for some time, was protected from invasion by the windows of the lower story being boarded up. Some burglar has pried oft the boards from 8 window and the building has been ransacked by thieves, who did no particu lar harm except in carrying away every thing loose. Free Sites for Factories. The Board of Trade is prepared to furnish free sites for manufactures which will furnish work for a xeasonable number of employes. These sites are situated along the bank of the Willamette, between Alblna and St. Johns, on the proposed extension of the O. R. & N. railway, where shipping fa cilities will be available by river and rail. Stole an Overcoat. Judge Hennessy sentenced a young man, who gave his name as Wilson, to the county jail for one year, In the municipal court yesterday, for stealing an overcoat from the Port land library last Saturday afternoon. Wil son was apprehended while trying to sell the coat Forest Inspector's Office Moved. United States Forest Inspector George A. Steel has moved his office to room 21S Oregonian building, where he Is con veniently and comfortably located. Mrs. White's handpalnted china at Feldenhelmers. PLEASANT ORGAN RECITAL. Presbyterian Choir Give an Enjoy able Programme. A. fine musical programme was rendered to a large audience last night at the First Presbyterian church in connection with the quarterly communion social. The re cital opened with a brilliant organ conr cert piece by Horatio W. Parker, which Edgar Coursen gave with superb effect In strong contrast to this was the solemn and beautiful organ number, "Elevation," by Saint Saens. Mrs. Amadee Smith's alnging of "Springtide." by Becker, elicit ed much applause. For encore she gave "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Mr. Lauren Pease was in excellent voice, and gave Balfe's Tomance, "If Thou Coulds't Know," in a way that delighted the audi ence and brought him a recall, in re sponse to which he sang Bartlett's "A Dream." Mr. Coursen's other organ numbers In terspersed through the programme con sisted of a dainty selection by Gabriel Marie, entitled "The Golden Wedding," in tho ancient gavotte style. This was particularly enjoyed by the audience, who showed their appreciation in very hearty fashion; but Mr. Coursen did not respond to tho encore, otherwise than by bowing an acknowledgment The gavotte by Martin Boeder, was one of his heaviest numbers, one that called for difficult ped al work and gave him an opportunity to exhibit to excellent advantage his power ful grasp of the organ. Following this wag Guilmant's beautiful "Prayer and Cradle Song" that closed the programme. Shortly after 9 o'clock, the congregation was ready to enjoy a social chat with one another, and exchange greetings with their pastor, Dr. Hill, and his wife. Re freshments were served, and a spirit of genial humor and good-will prevailed. a ' CHARGED WITH EXTORTION. Eplnode at Montnvllla Over Alleged Theft of 20. George Coffman was examined in the municipal court yesterday on the charge of extortion and was bound over to the grand Jury, under bonds of ?150. The complainant Is Jesse Hess. Hess lives at Montavilla with his mother, and Coffman, who is a kind of relative, Is staying with them. From the evidence it seems that Coffman lost $20 In some way and accused Hess of steallnc It, and told Mrs. Hess that if he was not given tnat amount he would carve Jesse's heart out She was afraid of Coffman and gave him $20, which was all the money she had. ColTman testified that Hess robbed him of $20, and that ho simply demanded ita return, threatening to cause the boy's ar rest If the money was not refunded. It seems that the two boys slept together last Saturday night, and that Sunday morning Hess asked Coffman to get up and see what time it was. He was absent from the room only a few seconds, and during that time the money was alleged to have been taken from a puree in Coff man's trousers pocket, which were under the pillow. Coffman acknowledged that 1 ho did not miss the money until late in the I day. He returned to the house, swore Jesse had robbed him, and Mrs. Hess gave him that amount. i o CYCLE PATHS ARE DAMAGED Covrs and Wagons Are Driven Over Monnt Tabor Cycle Way. The evele paths on the Base Line road, from East Thirty-fourth street to Mount Tabor, have been driven on with vehicles and used to drive cattle over. Some one drove a heavy wagon along the north side path for a considerable distance, cutting the path with .the wheels, and the horses shoes made deep Impressions in the sur face. While a resident was taking a stroll out on the path Sunday, he met a man leading some cows along the path. These were especially well-constructed paths, be ing wide enough for a wagon, and greatly improved tho appearance of the road, and it seems incredible that any one living along that road where "these paths are should drive over and destroy them. When thus used they are practically destroyed. It Is evident that some better method will have to be adopted for the protection of cycle paths. There is a class who will not hesitate to drive on them and take pleasure In doing so. A stringent law, with a severe penalty, will only meet the case, and a strong legislative enactment will have to be passed applying to the whole state, as the cycle path presents a new condition not provided for In the road laws. The man who drove on the Base Line path probably did so out of pure malice, as there is a well-improved road way for vehicles alongside, and nothing less than a heavy fine for injuring cycle paths will deter such fellows. Riders paid In this county about 512,000 bicycle tax, some portion of which has been expended In building paths. Next year they will pay more, and more paths will be constructed, so that It will be very necessary to pro tect them from destruction. Llentennnt Tclfer Elected Captain. At the regular meeting of Gilbert camp, No. 4, Second Oregon, Monday evening', Xileutenant George F. Telfer was elected captain to fill the vacancy that had exist ed since the camp was started. The elec tion of Xileutenant Telfer is regarded as a most excellent selection, and it will add much strength to the camp. H. U. Welch, of the battery, was first asked to accept, but declined, as he considered it better that some member of the Second Oregon who had seen active service snould be se lected to fill the place. Messrs. Wells, Meier and McKlnnnle were elected trus tees of the camp. The sick comrades came in for their share of attention. George Breslln's condition was reported on. He seems to be holding his own fairly well, and hopes are entertained that he will re cover. It was decided at the meeting of the camp that a smoker should be given next Monday evening at the hall, when all veterans will be heartily welcomed. A good time is expected that evening. The Gilbert camp is in a flourishing condition and growing in numbers. Burled at Sim Franoisco. Manifred G. Hamilton, whose death oc curred in San Francisco Monday, has a brother, F. M. Hamilton, living on Colum bia slough, a well-known milk dealer. The latter saw the account of his death in The Oregonian of Monday. He tele graphed for the particulars, and also sent Instructions for the remains to be shipped to Portland for interment A reply was received from the San Francisco under taker at once stating that the wife of the dead man had provided for the Interment to take place at San Francisco. Mr. Ham ilton, the brother here, was very much astonished over the answer, as he was not aware that his brother had been mar ried. Ho formerly lived on the East Side, and conducted a grocery store on East Washington street, between Union and Grand avenues. None of the particulars of the death have yet been received. Ho was .not married when he left Portland. His death seems to have been sudden. Mr. Hamilton expects to ge nthe details by mall after a time. Pleasant Home Notes. Anna Hevel, who lives at Gresham, met with quite a severe loss while going from that place to Pleasant Home, Saturday. She lost her purse and a watch valued at $30. She thinks, that in taking out her handkerchief from her pocket the purse and watch were pulled out at the same time, and dropped outside the buggy in the road. It is very improbable that she will recover her property. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Older, of Portland, were at Pleasant Home Satur day to Install the officers of the M. A. Jtoss pest and the Woman's Belief Corps. The former installed the officers of the post and Mrs.01der Installed the efflcers of the corps, the work in h'oth being most excel lent They were the guests of Colonel and Mrs. Robert Pool while at Pleasant Home. At the entertainment which fol lowed the Installation in the evening, May Leslie, of Gresham, took the prize for the handsomest lady, and Anna Hevel, of Grosham, the second prize. Ampng tho others who contested for these prizes were Ida Layman, Maud LIttlepage, of Powell Valley; Mpllie Dunn, of Sandy; Maud Manery, of Pleasant Home; Maud Murry, of Butto, Mont. Better Fire Protection. The fire commissioners have Just placed two fire hydrants in Lower Albina for the better protection of the large property Interests there on thft water front. One hydrant was located at the couth and the other one at the north end of the Mont gomery warehouse, just erected. Protec tion is thus given this fine new warehouse as well as to the surroundings. The hy drants are attached to the Alblna water system by a six-inch pipe, and there Is an ample water supply. Several other hydrants were placed further south of the wouM st at the of evenings in Montgomery dock over a year ago, so that RfofW, nf nnmln ,nm(S nir. nfW i,,,,,,,,,. the district adjacent the landing of the Alblna ferry is fairly well protected against fire. The next important consid eration Is streets through which the ap paratus may be taken. Rev. Mr. Blair Improving. Rev. G. A. Blair, pastor of the First Cumberland Presbyterian church, who fell and dislocated his right ankle while on his way from his home to the church, Is now improving, and hopes to be around again soon. He is still confined to his rooms, and yesterday the limb was put in a plas ter cast. The dislocation was complicated with the breaking of some of the tendons. Mr. Blair Is improving so rapidly that he hopes to occupy Ms pulpit next Sun day. Mrs. Blair, who has been seriously 111, is also Improving. Protracted Services. Protracted meetings have been com merced at the Second Baptist church, East Ankeny and East Seventh streets. Rev. Ray Palmer, pastor, Is being assisted by other ministers. The attendance la very good. Protracted services were also begun at the Sunnyslde Methodist church, East Thirty-fifth and East Yamhill streets, Monday evening. For the present, Rev. S. A. Starr, the pastor, is conducting tha serVices alone, but he will have help-aftei the meetings have progrcGsed a short time. The meetings have started out well. Good music Is provided each evening. East Side Notes. But little can be accomplished by the contractor who has the Improvement of East Burnslde street, between East Twenty-eighth and East Thirtieth streets, while the present weather prevails. Some of the grading has been done, and lumber fo? tho planking of the street has been de livered. There is small prospect of the Improvement being completed for some time. The Union Republican Club, of the ninth ward, has found its rcllbook, which had been misplaced, and filed a list of tho members with Secretary J. P. Kennedy, of the Stated Republican League.

The short programme of recitation, eongs and reading was well re ceived. Concluding a very pleasing even ing, refreshments were served. It was a reunion, and many of the old members, rarely seen out, were, present. DELIGHTFUL PERFORMANCE. Keill Company's Charming: Rendition of "A Gilded Fool." A house crowded to the doors witnessed the presentation of "A Gilded Pool" by the James Neill company last night at the Marquam Grand, the brilliant success of the previous performance being more than duplicated. This artistic, well-balanced company Is winning unstinted encomiums for its clever work, and If the opening plays are samples of the rest of the reper toire, a week full of pleasure Is assured to Portland's theater-goers. The old timer and the first-nighter have held up Nat Goodwin's presentation of the char acter of the "Gilded Fool" as an ideal but James Neill last night demonstrated that his conception and grasp of the com edy work was complete, that he played the part well, while he stood head and shoulders over any other "gilded fool" in his rendition of the pathetic passages. His work at the close of the second act In his touching love scene with Margaret Ruthven was as pretty a piece of acting as has been seen here. The plot of this pleasing comedy Is too well known for comment. Outside of Mr. Neill in the personnel of the cast sev eral pleasing pictures stand out promi nently. Edythe Chapman, as Margaret Ruthven, the sweetheart of Chauncey Short (James Neill) was sweet and wom anly, and fully deserved the recalls ac corded -to her work. Julia Dean, as Nell Ruthven, was a decidedly charming little soubrette, was fairly bubbling over with cheer and vivacity and fully shared the comedy honors of the evening. Another good piece of character work was done by Ben Howard, as Bannister Strange, the scheming and cunning capitalist. Frank MacVicars as Matthew Ruthven, Grace Lamkln as Sophia Ruthven, Rob ert Morris as Jack Duval, and the canni bals' irlend, Rev. Jacob Howell, por trayed by John W. Burton, were all char acterized in a befitting manner. A most satisfactory feature of tho performance was the oxquisite attention to detail. The minor parts were all placed in excellent hands, and altogether the entertainment was most satisfying. "Amy Robsart" will be the attraction today at both the matinee and evening performances, with James Neill In the character of Earl of Leicestor. Thursday night, "Lord Chumley"; Fri day night, "Captain Swift"; Saturday matinee, "A Bachelor's Romance," and Saturday night, "Captain Lettarblalr." BEAT HIS WIFE. Scllwood Man, While Drunk, Abased His Family. Herman Hubers, a German laborer, who lives at Sellwood, was In the municipal court yesterday on tho charge of assault and battery. Susanna Hubers, the man's wife, was the prosecuting witness. She testified that Monday night, as usual, Herman came home drunk, struck hei down and tore her clothes. Mrs. Hubers then proceeded to relate her tale of woe. She said Herman made $9 a week and was the only support of the family, but that he would not give her enough of his wages to provide food for tho small children, and was a habitual drunkard. It was brought out in the testimony that Herman had repeatedly sworn off, but In a few days would be drunk again and and fathers Judge Hennessy gave the man a vigorous lecture, and he soon be gan to weep.
