eral Iseebe was applied to yesterday for J
uthonty to use toe Armory for this

ind expressing their read.nees to pay
reasonable rental. As the building be-
:rgs to the county, General Beebe did
jo: care to grant permission to use It,
tnd referred the committee to the county
iommiseionens. There was some demur on
ve part of the commissioners, on the

-r.,a; the commissioners did not know
,hA would be right, as the only expense

laking i,ood any damages. It was finally
leaded that the league could have the

Cabs hereafter. Till Midnight. The
cars of the City & Suburban will com
mence running under the new schedule to
day, and hereafter all cars on their last
trip will leave Third and Morrison at
midnight. This will be a great accommo
dation to theater-goers and persons who
are obliged to be out late. The new
scheme of paying the motormen and con
ductors by the hour also goes into effect
today, and many new men have been
broken in during the past week to supply
the 40 or so new hands which will be re
quired under the new arrangement. The
old hands will have the morning runs,
and will work 10 hours. The new hands
will not get 10 hours' work every day while
on the night runs, but they are all look
ing forward to the time when they will be
able to get on the day run and have the-r
10 hours regularly. The Intersection of
Third and Morrison streets Is hereafter
bound to be a lively place about mid
night Want Boulevards Improved. The
county commissioners were waited on
yesterday by a committee from the Penin
sular Improvement Association, who made
an urgent appeal for the Improvement of
the Portland and Willamette boulevards,
and to have a bicycle path in that section.
The bad condition of the boulevards was
set forth In strong terms by several mem
bers of the committee. The commission
ers have heard of these boulevards and
of the need of their Improvement before,
but they promised to do the best they
could in the matter. They explained that
the proposed bicycle path had been de
layed on account of unfavorable weather.
As to the boulevards the law g.vlng the
county charge of them had been passed
after the levy was made, consequently
there had been a lack of funds. Just what
the result of the conference Is to be re
mains to be seen.
Borinq the Cannon. The work of bor
ing out the brass cannon brought from
the Philippines to secure metal enough to
make medals for the Second Oregon vol
unteers, was begun at the Willamette Iron
works yesterday. After working a while
it was seen that a special tool would be
required, and the work was stopped till
this can be made. The gun is fixed In a
big boring machine, and it will be no
trouble to enlarge the bore when the
proper tool Is ready. They have not been
used to making or boring cannon at the
works, and so are not provided with tools
for the work.
Cordwood Down. The mild winter has
made it easier for poor people, who have
had wood to buy, and has reduced the
value for those who have wood to sell.
Last year at this time, four-foot fir, corded
up along the West Side and other rail
roads adjacent to town, was held at $2 25
a cord, and stiff at that. Now wood can
be obtained at $1 40 a cord under similar
conditions. Wood-dealers In the city say
the price of both fir and oak has fallen
ffi per cent within 12 months. The full
supply and limited demand combine to
render cordwood-owners more anxious to
sell,
.National Suffrage Convention. The
equal suffragists of the Northwest are not
being overlooked by their sisters in the
East In c&nnectlon with the national con
vention at Washington, D. C. Mrs. Abigail
Scott Duniway yesterday received an invi
tation to deliver the valedictory address
on that occasion, following the main ad
dress by Mrs. Susan B. Anthony. It fol
lows as a matter of course that Mrs.
Duniway promptly accepted the invitation,
and that she will bring to the conven
tion a strong Western personality.
Discharged. O. H. Heninger, who was
oharged with forging a money-order, was
on examination before United States Com
missioner Deady yesterday, discharged. It
being clearly shown that he had done
nothing wrong In the matter. Ho had
purchased a portrait business from one
Kruse, and the postal order was sent in
by one of his agents at Canby, and he
merely signed the name of the agent and
drew the money.
Call for Volunteers' Meeting. All
volunteers of the Spanish war or Filipino
insurrection are requested to meet at the
Armory ths evening at 8 o'clock to confer
regarding the remains of Oregon deatl now
at the Presidio. General Summers urges
all residing In Portland to attend, that
proper preparations may be made for the
services and arrangements perfected for
bringing all to their home state for burial.
Prince of Anarchists Coming. Herr
Johann Most, the most distinguished of
the imported anarchists of the United
States, is coming to Portland. Handbills
are out announcing speeches by Most at
A. O. U. W hall tomorrow and Saturday
nights. On the latter evening he will speak
in German as well as English.
Leg Broken. Jack Baldwin, driver of
one of Mayor Storey's wood teams, was
thrown from a horse yesterday on Seven
teenth street and suffered a fracture of
both bones of the left leg, below the knee.
He was taken to the Good Samaritan hos
pital, where his injuries were attended to.
Will Preach. Rev. J. F. Ghormley,
pastor of the First Christian church, will

of America, 24 and 26 North Second street,
Friday evening, February 2. He will be

Baptist church this afternoon at 2 o'clock.
The private services at the residence will
be at 1:30 P. M., immediately preceding.

NANCE O'NEIL'S CAMILLE.
Wty Critics Praise Her Performance
of This Great Role.
Nance O'NelL who begins a three nights'
and Saturday matinee engagement at
Cordray's theater tomorrow evening, has
been accorded the honor for an original
and proper conception of the character
of Camllle. Miss O'Neil plays the part
as she thinks it should be played, and
her Idea has been generously applauded.
What Is wanted in Camllle? Pale and
interesting Intellectuality, naturalness or
a mawkish semblance of a dying "now-I'm-good-enough-to-be-saved"
creature? bo
many artists In their anxiety to be natural
become certainly unnatural. First of all,
most Camilles endeavor to look particu
larly and undesirably consumptive and
worn during the first act. If she were so
at the beginning of the story would a
strong, handsome fellow like Armand Du
val fall In love with and want to marry
her? "It strikes the average mind that
If Camllle looks somewhat attractive at
the beginning we can eas.ly for&l.e her for
waning rapidly during the last half of the
play. Here is a point in discrimination
which the ingenious Miss O'Neil has not
overlooked. As a consequence the cr tics
everywhere say that Camllle" as she plays
It Is the only natural, reasonable Camllle.
The Bernhardt version of Camllle will be
rendered on Saturday night
There were a few ticket-buy ere who were
disappointed yesterday. They were in the
minority who were demanding "Madga"
for Saturday afternoon instead of "East
Lynne." In response to universal requests
the management preferred to give "Mag
da" Saturday afternoon. "Magda" is the
play in which Miss O'Neil scored her
great success at her engagement here
earlier In the season. Tomorrow night
O'Nell's brief season will open with
"Magda"; on Saturday afternoon same
blli, on Saturday night "Camllle," and on
Sunday evening "Macbeth," with the orig
inal Edgar S. Kelly music
Overflow houses will certainly be the
rule at Cordray's, judging from the ad
vance reservations.

SANG "THE SERENADE"
BOSTOXIAXS INTRODUCE A FINE
SEW SOPRANO.
Charming? Production of Victor Her
bert's Best Opera Grace Cam
eron Makes a Bier Hit.
A new star, almost a meteor, in fact,
has arisen in the comic opera firmament,
and shines where Jessie Bartlett Davl3
shone so long. Her name Is Grace Cam
eron, and she played Yvonne In the Bos
tonlans' production of "The Serenade"
last night, making just about the biggest
hit that has ever been made at the Mar
quam. Her brilliancy, however, did not
throw the other members of the company
into shadow, for this most delightful of
operas was given as Portland has never
heard it given before. Not a number was
slighted, nor an opportunity for comedy
lost. "Old Barney" was at his "height
in the character of the Duke of Santa
Cruz, and George Frothingham, who is
probably the funniest man, in his own
way, on the operatic stage, was appareled
in a part that he was evidently born for.
W. H. .MacDonald, as Alvarado, merited
the ovation that he 'received on his first
appearance, and Marcla van Dresser, as
Dolores, had a chance to bring out the
fine qualities of her magnificent con
tralto voice in a fashion that heightened
the impression she created the opening
night.
But Miss Cameron was the talk of the
house. It began to dawn on the audience
that packed the theater that they were
making the acquaintance of an extremely
charming and talented young woman
when she made her first appearance; but
It was nbt until her singing of "Cupid and
I," In the second act, that she took the
house by storm. Then they accorded
her an ovation that shook the house,
many of the more enthusiastic rising to
their feet to applaud. She graciously
responded twice, but, although she would
be still singing that song, had the audi
ence had its way, she not unreasonably
declined to sing a third time.
Miss Cameron is petite In person, a de
lightful actress, and her voice is a clear,
true soprano, of a quality suited to grand,
as well as comic opera. While she might
have had a part that would have given
her a better opportunity, she left nothing
to be wished for in what she did, and she
made just as many friends and admirers
as were crowded Into that theater.
Miss van Dresser's singing of the Ange
lus was remarkably flne, and brought
forth tho evidence of appreciation it de
served. All ot her numbers were splen
didly rendered, and she won fresh laurels
as an actress.
MacDonald's reception was little short
of an ovation, and as soon as he sung
the "Serenade" the house was his. "In
the third act, when he and Miss Van
Dresser sang "Don Jose," their hearers
could not do enough to show them how
much they were pleased.
It goes without saying that "Barney"
was as admirable as a man could be. In
the comedy he took Frothingham and
Miss Cameron into the partnership when
"Dreaming" was sung with all sorts of
bright new business In the third act.
John Dunsmuir added to his achieve
ments of the night before in Romero. His
"Song of the Carbine" is undoubtedly su
perior to Broderlck's, and consequently
better than has been heard In Portland.
Frederick Knight was heard In one song,
"I Envy the Bird," and his clear tenor
voice made for him a decided hit.
"The Serenade," as every one knows, is
built around the beautiful strain, "I Love
Thee; I Adore Thee," and its ever re
curring repetition leaves it permanently
Impressed on the memory. It is heard at
its finest when the monks sing it In chorus
In the -second act, with an effect that is
simply superb. The choruses are all melo
dious, and there Is not a bar."V5jh!ch one
who loves good music can afford to for
get. Any way you take It, "The Serenade"
surpasses last season's production, when
It was brand new. As a whole. It Is
much smoother. The comedy is Improved
and the serenade which runs through it
seems incapable of enrichment.
Tonight, "Robin Hood."
BOWLERS SPLIT EVEN.
Arlington and Commercial Club
Teams Win Two Each.
Arlington and Commercial split even In
the subseries of the Interstate champion
ship contest at the Arlington Club last
night, each team getting two games. The
team averages were unusually poor, and
eitherteamby scoring its usual game could
easily have taken all four. The first game
was a tie which Commercial won In the
bowl-off. The second and third went to
Arlington by G and 57 pins respectively,
the visitors winning the fourth by 17. The
highest score was made by Mays, 172,
and this was the only one that approached
good size. Burrell did well after the first
game. Dunlap's BS was the high single
game. Arlington led on total pins, 919 to
873. The sticky condition of the balls very
seriously affected tho bowling of the vis
itors. Arlington was short two of the reg
ular team Minor and Mulr. The next
games wiH be at Commercial, between
Multnomah and Commercial. Last night's
scores were as follows:

"A DOLL'S HOUSE" TONIGHT.
The Farewell Appearance of Clara
Thropp at Cordray's.
Miss Clara Thropp, who has been play
ing a most substantial engagement at
Cordray's, will make her final appearance
tonight In a double bill, "Doll's House"
and "A Truant Spouse." In the latter she
will sing Kipling's ballad, "On the Road
to Mandalay."
n
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"The Winter's Tale."
"The Winter's Tale," which will be pre
sented at theMarquam Grand next week,
has been seen all too seldom on the Amer
ican stage. The last worthy effort made
to produce this play was by Mary Ander
son. Miss Anderson chose "The Winter's
Tale," by the way, for her farewell ap
pearance on the stage. Miss Anderson
achieved success as Perdita and Herml
one, and it is interesting to note that the
next actress to make a like trial of her
abilities is another Amqrlcan girl, Miss
Kathryn Kidder.
The production of "The Winter's Tale"
by Messrs. Wagenhals and Kemper, In
which Louis James, Miss Kidder and
Charles B. Hanford are to appear here, Is
said to be In every way worthy of compar
ison with Miss Anderson's. The general
Impression seems to be wherever this pro
duction of "The Winter's Tale" has been
given, that never before in this generation,
at least, have the leading roles of this
most difficult but beautiful drama been
so happily filled. In this instance, Miss
Kidder essays, of course, two very differ
ent characters Hermlone, the grand ma
tron, and Perdita, the romantic waif, the
quintessence of youth and love in woman.
During the engagement, which is an
nounced for four nights and matinee,
"School for Scandal" and "The Rivals"
will also be presented.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The queen of the Belgians was brought
up in her father's castle at Pesth, amid
surroundings and customs which remind
one of the feudal ages. At night her
father himself descended the great stair
case to lock the outer gate and the door
of the principal hall. This hall was di
vided Into two parts, one end being raised
a little above the other. At the elevated
end the daughters of the house sat at
their needlework or painting or music,
while their attendants sat at the lower

MAY ANNEX MOUNT TABOR
PORTLAND'S LIMITS MAY BE AGAIN
EXTENDED.
J. Thomas' Cheese Factory Near
Falrview Was Burned, Causing
a Loss of $1500.
It Is considered probable that the ques-'
tion of annexation will cut no small fig
ure in the two large Mount Tabor school
districts Nos. 5 and 18. From the address
of C. W. Gay at the school meeting Tues
day night in No. 5 It could be seen that
consol.datlon with the city Is expected in
the near future In that district. There
was -no dissent from Mr. Gay's remarks.
He was arguing at the time against pay
ing off the bonded indebtedness, and one
of the reasons he urged against doing so
was the probability of annexation to the
city In the near future, and then the
consolidated district would assume the
bonds. The district now has a population
of 2000. and its growth has been constant.
In 1SS6 the school population was 505, in
1897 it was 632, and in 1S98 tnere were 5t
In the district, but this year It is 602. With
the growth there has come, It -s claimed,
a need for more extensive water facili
ties. The residents have repeatedly asked
the water committee to lay mains through
district No. 5, but the committee has de
clined to do so while it is outside the
city. The water question is used as a lever
on the part of 'those who are seeking an
nexation and have urged the need of water
for fire and domestic purposes. There are
indications that an effort will be made
to get the district inside the city in the
near future, and possibly Montavllla will
be Included this time also, but success
may be still further off than a good many
seem to think. The larger property-owners
are said to be opposed to annexation,
and were strong enough to defeat It sev
eral times before. It remains to be seen
whether they can do so again. The line
proposed would take In Mount Tabor en
tire, including the two reservoirs and the
settled portion north and south of the
Base Line road, Including Montavllla. Mr.
Gay did not say how much territory It Is
proposed to annex, but left it to inference.
However, whenever the lines are extended
between 30Q0 and 40CO pople will be taken in.
Falrvlevr Cheese Factory Burned.
At about 12 o'clock Tuesday night the
cheese factory near Fairvlew, owned by
J. Thomas, was burned to the ground.
The fire was first discovered from the
Hunter hotel, when the alarm was given.
So great a start had the fire got that
nothing could be done but watch the es
tablishment go up in flames. A consider
able breeze was blowing, so that It was
dangerous to approach the burning struc
ture. Through the exertions of citizens
the out-buildings were saved. Mr. Thomas'
house is only a short distance from the
factory, and it was in great danger, but
was saved after much exertion. The loss
will foot up to about 51500. There was
some insurance on the contents, but not
enough to cover the loss. In the factory
there was stored about 1200 pounds of milk,
a lot of potatoes and other articles. The'
fire is supposed to have originated in the
engine-house, but of that there Is no cer
tainty. There Is also a suspicion that the
fire was the work of an incendiary. The
loss falls heavily on Mr. Thoma3, who had
built up a good business and had been
very successful. It Is not yet known
whether he will rebuild.
South End Streets.
An effort Is making by the street repair
department toward getting South End
streets in repair. For over a week work
has been In progress on East Twenty
first street, and especially at the Inter
section of Powell street. At last this Inter
section has been put into a passable condition.-
The crosswalks have been cleaned
and repaired, and the gutters opened to
permit the water to flow off. Some good
work has been accomplished at this point.
At East Twenty-first and Division streets
also, repairs have been made, including a
new crosswalk. On Hawthorne avenue,
between East Eleventh and East Twelfth
streets, crosswalks have been cleaned and
gutters opened out. Owing to the grade
of Hawthorne avenue, between East
Tenth and East Twelfth streets, it Is a
difficult matter to keeep the gutters open
for the discharge of the water. The ave
nue is nearly as low at East Tenth as
at East Twelfth street, and the water
stands until the street Is almost sub
merged, but It Is hoped to improve the
condition as much as possible.
To Condemn Smelter Buildings.
The measures taken to secure the re
moval of the old dilapidated smelter build
ings on East Eighth and Caruthers streets
by Councilman Cameron are progress.ng.
He states that the steps have been so well
advanced now that the city attorney will
commence action for their removal. This
movement Is In respbnse to a petition from
the people of that neighborhood who are
very anxious that the buildings should
be removed. They claim that they have
become a nuisance to the public,' and are
so dilapidated that they cannot be used
for any practical purpose. On one side
some of the roofing is on the point of fall
ing down.
Meeting at Ocliley Green.

Clothing for Some.
HILIiSEORO, Jan. 31. (To the Editor.)
What kind of clothe? are needed In the
Oape Nome country from June until No
vember? NOME.
The cHmate of the Nome district during
the period mentioned is said to be of about
the same temperature as a. rainy spring in
Portland neither cold nor warm. Thore
is much rain between these two months,
which necessitates rubber wear, If one Is
to work outde. A slicker, rubber boots,
oil hat, and ordinarily warm clothing oth
erwise, will answer the purpose.
