Delight a. Biff Honae at Cordray'h.
The old-time favorites, RJchards &
Prlngle's Georgia minstrels, added to their
popularity last night, at Cordray's theater,
The crowded house was evidently vers
much pleased, judging from the hearty
applause and almost continuous laughter
during the evening. These colored boya
are the best of antidotes for a cure of
blues, as the rollicking, spontaneous fun
of the race is predominant throughout.
There Is not a serious moment from, the
time the curtain Is raised until the mer
velous whirlwind acrobatic act that com
pletes the programme.
The opening choruses are tuneful and
well sung. A. Watts, in his tenor solo,
"Sho Was Happy Till She Met You," re
ceived a merited recall. The "Darkies'
Home, Sweet Home," by W. A. Dixon,
was the musical number of the evening.
The chorus of this song, by the entire
company, was particularly fine. C. A.
Hughes' baritone solo, "My Old New
Hampshire Home," was rendered In an
acceptable manner. A noticeable feature
of the musical part was the entire absence
of the orthodox deep bass solo, which
seems a distinctive feature of colored
troupes.
The jokes -were not vapid and pointless,
and their rendition caught the house, as
the by-play was simply ludlclous.
The first part was completed by a farce
which, had It been rendered by a white
minstrel troupe, would have fallen fiat,
but, somehow, the genuine fun of the col
ored boys, bubbling over all the time, filled
In an amusing 10 minutes,
The olio of specialties opened with a
slack-wire performance by Lasch, whose
act was unique in that It was done with
an abandon and an ease that was In
marked contrast to the orthodox over-apparent
carefulness. The Alabama quartet,
besides their plantation songs. Introduced
some good dancing, and a,-little comedy on
the Bide. Julius Glenn and James Moore,
In their "rough-house" knock-about act
were sufficiently outlandish to be really
funny, A song and dance act by eight
of the company In concert was a distinctly
new feature. Simpson and Plttmann were
the specialists on musical Instruments.
James Crosby was better in his dancing
and tragic Imitations than in his mono
logue. A cakowalk, with einging accompani
ment throughout was a novel feature by
relieving the overworked Cakewalk of Its
sameness.
The five Arabian acrobats were a fitting
climax to a good minstrel show. Their
tumbling and feats of strength were mar
velous. Their Inverted pyramid, five-high,
with one man for pedestal, being one ol
the many skillful acts of these wonders.
Their feats of agility and strength fol
lowed one another in such bewildering
quickness that, had the act been drawn out
somewhat, It no doubt would have been
appreciated.
The Georgia minstrels will be the at
traction for the rest of the week. Includ
ing Saturday matinee.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
James-Kidder-IIruxlord Company.
The most Important and Interesting
theatrical event of the season, and doubt
less what will prove to be the most bril
liant will be the engagement of the Louis
James, Kathryn Kidder and Charles B.
Hanford combination at the Marquam
Grand for four nights and matinee, com
mencing tomorrow night In a mammoth
scenic revival of "The Winter's Tale."
There was a long line of purohasers of
seats at the box-office all day yesterday.
It Is difficult to conceive a greater com
bination of Intellectual and histrionic abil
ity than is embodied In the splendid or
ganization that Wagenhals & Kemper
have brought together. The flower and
genius of dramatic art In the legitimate
field of drama is represented in the ad
mirable company, which, aside from the
commanding distinction of the three prin
cipals, enlists the following familiar
names: Harry Langdon. John A. Ellsler,
Barry Johnstone, Thomas Coffin Cooke,
Norman Hackett, Collin Kemper, W. A.
Lincoln. Harvey Cassldy, George McCulla,

A welcome announcement for theater
goers Is that Charles Frohman's produc
tion 'of the famous play of "The Little
Minister" will be seen at the Marquam
Grand for three nights, commencing next
Monday. This engagement will undoubt
edly prove to be one of the big events
of the season, and the audiences are sure
to be extremely large. The great success
achieved by this famous comedy Is well
known, and every one is desirous of see
ing the play. Its presentation here will
be complete in every way. The company
that is to be seen Is known to be a most
excellent one, and specially selected by
Mr. Charles Frohman to present the play,

Springfield Republican.
If trade with Puerto Rico Is to be free
while that with the Philippines Is taxed,
the Pacific coast will want to know the
reason why. The Portland Oregonlan an
grily comments on this possibility, and
says It demonstrates anew the determina
tion of the Eastern states to monopolize
the commercial benefits of expansion. We
would assure The Oregonlan, however,
that the East will freely concede to the
Pacific coast the benefit of free importa
tion of Chinese and Malay labor from
and by way of the Philippine islands.

DIED AT THE rlOSPIfAL
ACCIDENT TO EAST SIDE 0BOY
PROVED FATAL.
fmnsyside Is in the Throes -of a
Boopi, According: to Increase
in Mail-Carrier's- Worlc
Little Johnny Matteus, the 8-year-old
boy whose legs were cut off by his falling
under the wheels of a freight train on the
Southern Pacific railway, gjunday after,
noon, at East Eleventh and Clinton, died
at the Good Samaritan hospital, where he
was taken after the accident His legs
were severed, above the knee, and on arriv
ing at the hospital he was immediately
operated upon by Drs. Moore and Wheeler.
At first he seemed to stand the opera
tion with some prospects of recovery, but
the shock was too severe, and he died
about 10 o'clock. From what was learned
yesterday, the accident was the result of
an attempt on his part to climb on the
train as it was passing the intersection
of East Eleventh and Clinton streets. He
fell through the cattle-guard and went
under the train. An Inquest will be held
at the East Side morgue this afternoon,
at 4;30 o'clock, when the accident will
be investigated. Mr. and Mrs. Matteus,
the parents, live on Ellsworth street, be
tween East Fifteenth and East Sixteenth
streets. The former has been absent down
the river, but will be In the city today.
The boy was a pupil of the Brooklyn
school, and the flag of that building was
placed at half-mast In consequence of the
sad accident.
Children continue to climb on passing
freight trains on the Southern Paclflo
while they are passing from the lower
depot to the shops. The trains move slow
ly through that portion of the city, and'
on Saturdays and Sundays mere children
have been seen to get on the cars. They
seize hold of the iron rounds of the lad
ders Tunning up the sides and ends of the
cars, and in this way ride to the carshops.
The principal of one of the large schools
In that neighborhood said yesterday that
the school children had been repeatedly
warned to keep away from the car tracks.
It seems Incredible that the small chil
dren, from 8 years up, would venture to
jump on a moving train, but it Is done
Saturdays and Sundays. From Alblna
southward about half a dozen boys have
been made cripples for life from acci
dents while climbing on moving trains
within two years, and now a fearful death
has resulted.
Lutheran Church Bnnauet.
There was a large gathering of the Ger
man Lutheran people at St. Paul's church,
East Twelfth and Clinton streets, last
evening, In honor of the birthday of the
pastor, Rev. August Krause, and also In
celebration of the completion of the hand
some parsonage. The basement of the
church was well filled, there being people
from all portions of the city. Outside
churches were represented by Rev. Mr.
Mack, and Rev. Mr. Schlnck, of Oregon
City; Rev. Mr. Whlttrock, of Strubble;
Rev. Mr. Fincke, of Astoria; Rev. Mr.
Eberle, of Salem, and Rev. Mr. Buehler,
of Peninsular. Before the banquet the
guests thronged through the parsonage
and Inspected the rooms. Then, at about
8 o'clock, the entire company took seats
at the long tables, which fairly groaned
under their loads of substantiate and the
good things. Skilled waiters anticipated
every want of the assembled guests.
Charles Bartel, representing the congre
gation, addressed the pastor, Mr. Krause,
and after recounting the success that had
attended his work In Portland, presented
him with a handsome oak parlor stand,
on which there had been placed a monster
frosted caket Mr. Krause responded,
thanking th church for the token of their'
esteem. He, said he should not goon for
get the expression of good will from his
people. Then the feast proceeded.
Addresses were made by Mr, Buehler,
Mr. Fincke and others, during the ban
quet and the best of feeling prevailed.
After the adults had finished, the table
was replenished, and the children were
turned loose on the eatables. The rest of
the evening was taken up In a social way,
and It was late when the party broke up.
Mr. and Mrs. Krause will leave for Ger
many next May, to be gone about four
months, and the banquet was a sort of
farewell, as well as the celebration of his
birthday and the completion of the
manse.
Snnnyside Moil Increase,
The amount of mall that the carrier has
to take out from the Sunnyalde postal
station on that route has Increased one
third during the past year. A year ago
he completed the work of delivery In his
district In six, seven and seven and a half
hours, but now he has to put in the full
eight hours and work as hard as he can
In order to get the mall distributed within
that time. He has a large district, hut
has a horse and cart. At the same rate
of Increase a few months hence ho -will
hardly be able to make the delivery com
plete every day, and the district will have
to be divided. But there are no vacant
houses at Sunnyslde, and any further
growth will have to come from new build
ings. So crowded Is that district that in
many houses two families are accommo
dated. Considerable new building was
done there last year, and already several
are under contemplation. Station Master
Minor has been renovating and rearrang
ing the station, so that It will better ac
commodate the public. There are some
who do not understand tnat Sunnyslde Is
only a part of Portland, and direct their
letters to "Sunnyslde, Of." These letters
first go to Sunnyslde, In Clackamas coun
ty, and then must be returned,. Letters
should be directed to station C, Portland.
Smith Memorial Chnrch.
At Falrvlew, according to previous ar
rangements, there was a gathering of the
members and friends of the Smith Memor
ial Presbyterian church, to clear the lot
from stumps. The stumps had becomo
a constant eyesore to the members, but
until the scheme adopted to come together
In a body and take them out, no way
was devised for clearing1 the ground. At
about 10 o'clock Saturday morning, 85 men
gathered at the enclosure with tools,
stump-puller and horses, and went to work.
By evening the yard was free of the ob
noxious stumps, and while the work-was
hard the day wag pleasantly spent At
noon a fine dinner was prepared by the
women. Several years ago, Mrs. Hannah
Smith donated the site for this church, and
In 1S90 an edifice was built on the ground
by Mrs, Smith and friends In memory Of
her Jhusband, Hlram Smith. It has since
been known as the Smith Memorial Pres
byterian church. The next step will be
to enclose the grounds. .

A force Is. still engaged in clearing away
the oil cans from the warehouse of the
Standard oil works, on East First and East
Main streets. The cans are helng hauled
away and dumped Into Sullivan's gulch,

there was a big lot of oil stored away In
the basement of the bulldlpg.
The annual epiphany party of the St

STOLE BRASS CASTINGS.
Boys Who Bid Fair to Become Pro.
xessional Thieves.
A number of brass castings and several
bags, of copper scraps, which have been
stolen from the various railroad shops
about the city, are in the hands of the
police. The metal was recovered from
Junk dealers, who say they purchased it
from boys, and are thus not responsible
for the manner In which the boys obtained
it, hut the authorities think differently,
and are preparing to make a few arrests
of junk dealers, for receiving stolen goods.
These castings of brass and scraps of
copper represent considerable value, as
the metal weighs heavy In proportion to
its bulk, and the junk dealers sell it for
10 cents a pound. The boys who stole It
are glad to get 3 cents a pound for it, as
this sum enables them to "earn" spend
ing money. The fact that the lads are
developing Into professional thieves cuts
no figure with the junk dealers, who say
"Wo Pay our license, and have a right to
buy from whoever we can."
In speaking of the matter last evening,
Chief McLauchlan picked up a brass
wheel from the pile, and said:
"This has just been cast, and has never
been used, the boy who sold it having
evidently stolen It frpm the workshop
where it was made. Whoever buys such
stuff from the boys must know it was
stolen, and it is his duty to detain the
lad and call In a policeman instead of
dickering for the stolen property. Wo
propose to sift this matter to the bottom,
and, if possible, stop the business of turn
ing schoolboys into professional thieves."
CREMATORY WITHOUT FUEL
City Authorities Learn of an Eco
nomical Proposition.
At the meeting of the board of public
works, yesterday, the principal business
done was auditing the bills of the several
city departments for January. Nearly all
of them were approved, but a few were
laid aside as too large, and requiring
pruning. A report of the operation of the
garbage crematory for January was pre
sented, showing that during the month
1075 yards of garbage were consumed;
also 18 horses, one cow and 41 dogs. The
time required for destroying all these was
327 hours, and 83 loads pf sawdust 'wer.e.
used for fuel.
Mayor Storey laid before the board a
communication from Atlanta in regard to
a crematory in use there, which uses no
fuel -except the garbage consumed. The
board were of the opinion that the pres
ent council would not care to take up the
crematory business, in view of the ex
perience of past councils in this matter.
It was, however, decided that the auditor
should answer the communication, and
find out how garbage could be burned
without fuel,

little politics. Heretofore the political
feature of the organization nas been kept
uppermost, but at this session, owing to
the settlement of ail factional differences
and the lack of Interest In political af
fairs at present, the association got down
to hard work.
The question of foreign advertising was
taken up and discussed at length. The
body decided to take steps to protect It
self against It. The members of the as
sociation will demand the legal patronage
of the country, while there Is a republican
administration in power.
The attendance was large, and the pro
ceedings entirely harmonious. The meet
ing" was presided over by D. M. C. Gault,
of HUlsboro, who delivered a strong ad
dress, dealing largely with the question
of patronage, and touching many points
that are of vital Interest to the country
press. The custom of political plate mat
ter being sent to country papers by party
managers, was spoken of and objected to,
because the matter Is usually objection
able in some way, and that the money
would do more good in the hands of the
newspaper men than in those of plate
manufacturers.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing term of two years: President
D. M. C. Gault, Hillsboro; secretary, Will
iam J. Clarke, Gervals; treasurer, S. S.
Train, Albany; executive committee, J. B.
Eddy, Forest Grove: J. J. Whitney, Al
bany; C. L. Ireland, Moro. With the ex
ception of Mr. Ireland, who is a new offi
cer, this was a re-election of the former
board of officials.
Six new members were elected, making
the membership 39. The membership Is
limited to one republican paper in each
town, and one man from each paper. The
membership follows:
D. I. Asbury, Reporter, McMInnvllle; D.

In his call for the meeting, the Dresl
dent did not underestimate the importance
of the country weekly as a political factor.
The call contained the following para
graph:' "It looks now as. If the whole worlc of
the 1900 struggles will have to be per
formed by the country weeklies. It can
be done, and "well done, for the weeklies
.reach more readers than any metropoli
tan dally, and their Influence 13 moro po
tent for the furtherance of any cause es
poused. But, to have the greatest In
fluence, the weeklies of the state must
agree upon the plan of action to be pur
sued." The Oregon State League of Republican
Clubs will meet today, and this meeting
of tho editorial association came the
day previous, as has been the custom since
Its organization in 1896.
At the close of the meeting of the
league of clubs, all university of Oregon
