THE MOENING OBEGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF CORDRATS TJtEATV-"Too Mwcfc Ji." Quick Tjm Fom DAWgoK.Je Cook, -wU known in Partial tor away years as proprietor of tbe Mvary stable bearing 3us name, returned Saturday from Daw son, having to hie credit a record-enask-lng trip to tbe coast. Mr. Co0k started from Dawson Jannary SA, wlta three dogs and a light slod. In 11 days he reached Bennett, often making more Ann tt rattos in & single day. To accomplish this with out killing the dogs, Mr. Cook would ride & part of the time and ran the remainder. Three days he was traveling through a blinding snow storm, which neceeeU&ted breaking his own trail. The way was very difficult then. There are a lew men coming out at this season, but not many. The number going in was larger, as Mr. Cook met on an average 17 men each day of his outward trip. Hte best time was made on the last two days, between Upper La iiargt and Bennett, which is estimated to be considerably over IS miles. Nothing was heard at Mlnto of the missing men, of whom F. H. Ctaysou was a party. lu.vson, he says. Is rather quiet now, but much work Is there yet. All the creeks arc showing up well, and the coming sea son is predicted as the heaviest yield made since discovery of gold there, owing a-g. ly to use of machinery. Retiring Pkbmdbkt Honorbd. The "board of trustees of the Congregation Beth Is-ua; esterdmy afternoon called at the 2iji.se of their retirng president, Simon 33 umauer, and presented him with a set cf framed, engrossed resolutions, for his d hf ul service during his 26 years as pres ides t. Tbe presentation was accompanied ti-y a beautiful eulogy of Mr. Blumauer's Lie by Hon. Sol Hlrach, the new presi dent. Alter the resolutions were read, Mr Blumauer, who was taken complete ly by surprise, replied as well as his as'onishjnent would permit. He graciously thanked those who had so kindly remem bied him, and explained that he re frardW his M yeans' service simply as a duty, which he performed to the best of I..-: abil ty. At the conclusion of the tbarkf, Rabbi 2. Bloch addreceed those ir wt and told a few of the good things that Mr Blumauer had done. The hon ored president was further surprised when was tendered a handsome Bible, the gift of the members. 'ejects to Salmon Trout Law. An en Ihueiastlc sportsman, who has gone trout fiTung about every Sunday for years, now frda himself debarred by law from the 5 asure of fishing for salmon trout, which err i.Icntiful In the Clackamas, Sandy and many other streams in this region. Some pruj.Io go over to Washington and enjoy thf vort of catching salmon trout, which the law of that state does not forbid. It is all'pred that there Is no good reason i r making the winter a close season for e iron trout, which are here only In the tv r ter when they follow up the salmon 1 3 '1 eir spawning beds and destroy a great ir my of their eggs. When the open sea fvi comes, the salmon trout are gone. IV re appears to be reason in the com- 2 .lint of the old sportsman. It Is, how V' r, Impossible, or appears to be, to E'lkp a lew in regard to game or fish vh,ch has not some provisions In it which irary consider unjust and unreasonable. Y, G. Stsbl. Takbs a Bride.

Funeral services over the body of Guy Millard, member of company L, Second Oregon volunteers, who was killed at Malabon March 25, were held yesterday at Unitarian church. Comrades of the dead soldier gave him a characteristic military funeral. Dr. T. L. Eliot, Rev. W. B. Lord. Chaplain W. S. Gilbert and Dr. Edgar P. Hill participated in the services held at the church, which were attended by a very large number of friends and sympathizers. The body was burled In Lone Fir cemetery. At 1 P. M. the volunteers assembled at Holman's-undertaking parlons to form tho escort. A firing squad from company L. under W. F. Dougherty, and six pall bearers from the same company, all un der the direction of Lieutenant G. F. Tel fer, who was first Heutenatn In company L, formed the Immediate escort. A large number of tho volunteers, including Gen oral Summers, Captain McDonell and other officers, followed tho hearse to the cemetery. Tho procession moved at 2 P. M. to the church, where the casket was loaded with the beautiful floral contribu tions of friends and7 comrades. The most striking design was -the national flag in red, white and blue flowers. Dr. W. R. Lord read the impressive funeral service of the church, and was followed by Dr. Eliot, who for 30 years has been pastor of the Millard family and had known the dead soldier from In fancy. Dr. Ellot dwelt briefly on the pa thetic side of patriotic sacrifice, and paid the deceased the warm tribute of being devoted to his family, and a young man with a strong sonse of duty. The speaker mentioned that of the soldiers respond ing to the call of the president, 23 were of families who were memebrs of his parish. Two ha'd perished, the first being IHlot Ordway and the second Guy Mil lard. Chaplain Gilbert also spoke, confin ing his words to -what he saw of Millard's career while a soldier. A few Incidents, particularly stories of receiving mall from home and the gladness caused thereby, Introduced the evening before Malabon, where Millard was killed. Millard was on tho left of company L, In the section taken by Captain Wells through a swamp onto a turnpike road, where three men fell at the first volley of the enemy. Be fore this section could get out of the tangle, there was barely enough of them left to assist the wounded back. Millard was of the number receiving mortal wounds from which he died on the field. Chaplain Gilbert added to Dr. ElToVs words of praise the sentence, "as a sol dier, he did his duty," which he summed up as one of the highest tributes. Dr. Edgar P. Hill closed the services wHh a prayer for the departed and: the bereaved family. From the church the funeral procession moved to the cemetery, the soldiers In the line walking. At the cemetery the military funeral ceremony, which has become quite familiar in Portland, was per formed. Roy Doble, the bugler of the Second Oregon, sounded taps over the grave, as he has done for most of the members of the regiment burled since tho return home. i "O'BRIEN, THE CONTRACTOR." Thrilling- Comedy Jllnde Big- Success at the Metropolitan. Dan Sully's popular comedy-drama, "O'Brien, the Contractor," was present ed in a highly pleasing manner at the Metropolitan theater last evening, by tho stock company that has recently been organized by Mr. Methersole. It was a complete success. From the first cur tain rise until the last of the many cli maxes, the audience was in perfect har mony with the spirit of the play, and wag not slow to let that fact be known. The play was well staged, and It Is well oast. All the people In It are actors and actresses, and seemed to have clear con ception of what their lines mean. Pretty Georgle Cooper, whose winsome face and lovely voice are not unknown in Portland, she having appeared here last year in "The Geisha," easily took the first honors. Incidental to her ap pearance In the role of Cicely Fleece, she sang In a very charming way a number of popular ragtime melodies. Charles W. King appeared in the leading role, and proved himself to be a clever delineator of Irish character. Charles Welch ap peared as Frank Roberts and acquitted hlraeelf with credit. Miss Laura Adams' clever work as Mrs. Van Buren won her much applause and little Ollie Cooper, who had the part of Flossie Van Buren, Is an exceedingly bright child. Oscar Norfleet made a good German baron, and Alex Beauford, Page Spencer, Carl Nixon, Eddie Holland and Eddie Snow were up to the requirements of their parts. Be sides Miss Cooper's songs, the singing of Miss Adams and Mr. Holland was well received. The play will run the entire week with matinees Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. A large audience witnessed the perform- LADIES' BASKET BALL. Return. Game Between Y. M. C. A. and Turner Girls at the V. 31. C. A. On Tuesday night, at the T. M. C. A. gymnasium, a return game of basket ball between the ladles' teams of the Y. M. C. A. and Turners will be played, and the public will probably seo the most exerting game between women ever wit nessed In Portland. Both teams have practiced faithfully for this final game of the season, and whereas the Asso ciation girls are determined to win if pos sible, the Turners, on the other hand, don't intend to lose the advantage gained In the first game.

Be Cat nnd Rafted New Camps to Start. Logging on the Columbia river Is a very different matter to what It was a few years ago. For several years It was hard to find market for logs at $5 per 1000 feet, and mlllmen had things pretty much their own way. The fact that Portland has tributary to her more accessible timber than any other city In the United States, and better fa cilities for shipping lumber East, has made this city the greatest lumber-producing point on the coast, and at present, al though mlllmen are paying $6 per 1000 feet for logs, and the number of logging camps has been Increased, the supply of logs is not equal to the demand. The Portland mills this year will require 100,000,000 feet of logs more than ever be fore. The new mill of the Eastern Lum ber Company will cut 35,000,000 feet easily if the logs can be obtained, and Ritan & Lavenson's mill, which is also a new one, as far as being operated is concerned, will cut 15,000,000 and probably more. The number of logging camps on the Co lumbia and their capacity is now larger than ever before, as will be seen by the list given below, but even they will not be able to furnish the logs required, and ar rangements are in. progress for organizing five or six more camps, some of them on a large scale, and when these are in operation, the whole will be capable of putting Into the water 275,000,000 to 300,000, 000 feet of logs per year, which will be about enough to keep the mills here run ning. The following list of logging camps on the Columbia and its tributaries, with tho machinery and men employed, will be found substantially correct: Benson Logging & Lumbering Company, near Oak Point, has five locomotives and nine donkey engines, and will employ 200 men. The Star Logging Company, Rainier and Cathlamet, has two locomotives and five donkey engines, and will employ 90 men. The Saldren Logging Company, Gray's river, has two locomotives and three donkey engiens, and will employ about 00 men. E. S. Collier & Co., on the Ostrander, have one locomotive, operated day and night, and five donkey engines, and employ 120 men. C. C. Morten, Svenson, has one locomo tive and two donkey engines, and employs about 40 men. B. F. Brock, Coal creek, has one loco motive, one donkey engine, and about 30 men. Brlx Bros., Sisson creek, near Knapp ton, have one locomotive, two donkey3 and employ about 40 men. At Gerllnger's camp, some 15 miles back of Vancouver, some 75 men are employed. As the timber Is small It Is hauled by teams to the railroad, and thence by a locomotive to the river. In addition to these there are 25 camps using one to three donkey engines each to haul the logs to .roads, over which teams haul them to water. These camps employ altogether about GOO men. BIBLE'S GOOD WORK. It lied to the Arrest of Its Owner for Burglary. From Tacoma yesterday came the news of the capture there of Pete McDonald, a man wanted for a wholesale burglary of a jewelry store in Junction City. Mc Donald came to this city Immediately af ter his crime, which was committed Jan uary 26, and It was through Information furnished by Detectives Day and Wiener that the arrest In Tacoma was made. The accused man is charged with taking be tween 30 and 40 watches, 65 gold rings and a considerable quantity of other jewelry, but nothing was heard as to whether any of it was recovered at the time of his ar rest. Immediately following the burglary In Junction City, January 26, the police au thorities here were notified and Instructed to keep a watch. Shortly afterward Mc Donald was connected with the affair In a curious manner, through a quiet effort he made in Salem. A woman living In the suburbs of that city was approached by a stranger, who pretended to be a peddler and was desirous of selling her a watch. In the course of her questioning the stranger produced a small Bible, In the back of which she casually discovered the name, "Pete McDonald, Tacoma," As soon as the authorities got this clew they felt that pursuit of McDonald was the surest way to catch the burglar. The of ficers here soon afterward learned that a man answering the same description as the one trying to sell tho watches, had stopped over night in the Overland hotel, In the North End. The chambermaid had accidentally discovered between the mat tress and springs a large quantity of jew elry, consisting of watches and rings. Be fore the officers were Informed, the man had taken his jewelry and decamped. In formation was gathered, however, that he had gone to the Sound. Sheriff W. W. Withers, of Lane county, wherein Junc tion City Is located, was notified, and Im mediately placed himself in touch with the Tacoma police authorities. Two days ago Sheriff Withers passed through the city for the Sound, and It appears that the arrest was made upon his arrival there. McDonald Is well known In that section as a bad case, but so completely did he dis appear after his burglary that had It not been for the accidental tracing, he might have disposed of his plunder without be ing discovered. o PERSONAL MENTION.

Kier, oi Seattle, is at the Raleigh. a SHOUP FOR VICE-PRESIDENT Many Things That Commend Him for High Consideration. BOISE. Idaho. Feb. 17. (To the Editor.) Now that the political selections are being made for vice-president and each and all divisions of the United States have their favorite sons, we wish to join the procession and ask justice for the West. Never since Fremont carried our banner in the infant days of our party has the party considered seriously the claim of the West to the vice-presidency. Roose velt Is now spoken of as available, also Woodruff, of Now York, while the St. Paul Pioneer Press suggests Davis, Spooner and others, and West Virginia with Steve Elklns, and Root, of New York, who was a possible candidate, are all well enough, and the West will sup port any of them cordially If nomlnatedt but they are not from the West proper, a? It appears today. While our party policy of expansion will be a probable plank in the next platform, we will ask our Eastern re publican friends to practice a little ex pansion In the way of political favors and send the vice-president to tho true West. Why should not California, Mon tana, South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Or egon, Nevada and Washington, as well as the state of Idaho, demand recogni tion? This cluster of states, by the pro duction of their precious metals, made specie resumption possible in the early days of financial discussion, and their millions -of gold have made It possible today to advocate the single standard. We have In our mind a pioneer son of the West who stands par excellence the peer of any candidate for the vice-presidency that has been mentioned by the papers of our party. Senator George L. Shoup, of Idaho, to our mind more than any one else is entitled to consideration. His history as a republican ia unim peached, and his history as a soldier In the lato civil war has never been her alded to the American people. When tho silver craze spread over the West he alone stood unmoved. His peo ple and his state might wander, and, in fact, did wander until he and his follow ers were but a handful in the state that he represented. .But today those who wandered have come back to the fold, and .to George L. Shoup more than any one else Is entitled the credit. Ag a candidate for vice-president he would be free from bickerings and Jeal ousies that exist to a great extent among the prominent members of the party east of the Missouri, and not wishing to flatter but to pay tribute where tri bute is due, we cannot let this oppor tunity pass without speaking of his war record In those days when republicanism meant patriotism. Had it not been for George L. Shoup, colonel of the Second Colorado, the west half of the United States would have been cut off by the Confederate forces when marching from Texas through New Mexico to Colorado, and it was he and hla glorious soldiers who met the Invading army and who, at Glorieta, Valverdt and Pigeon's ranch drove the invaders back to their Con federate homes, discouraged and defeat ed. Those battles won. at San Juan, El Caney and other fields In Cuba were glor ious, but they were not brighter than those won to save the great West, for bloodier fields and more undaunted brav ery was never equaled In the civil war. Senator Shoup has broader views by personal observation and direct Interest In the Western mining world than any possible candidate that can be mentioned for the vice-presidency. Knowing all of our resources and our wants by being one of ua for 40 years entitles him to consideration. Expansion, which in the future will be tho watchword of our party, will bring to our doors the Oriental trade, whose in terests should not be in Eastern hands entirely. Senator Shoup's visit to Alaska, that empire of Islands and treasure box of the 20th century, will certainly fit him to know its wants and claim for it, as pre siding officer of the senate, the consid eration that it Is entitled to. Strong In his republican faith, liberal In his polit ical opinions, unflinching In his devotion to out country, our flag and our party, and especially true to his myriad of friends, to his state and to himself, we know of no better -justice to the West tham to nominate him, and should the vice-president's mantle fall upon his shoulders, we are satisfied that from Deadwood to San Diego, from El Paso to the beach of Nome, one general ver dict would be "well done, good and faith ful servant" of our party and our flag. J. A. P. o i - MARKHAM'S PHILOSOPHY. Rejected In the Orient as Well as In the Occident. McMINNVILLE, Feb. 15, (To the Ed itor.) On reading your editorial in today's Issue on "Markham's Hoeman Again," there came to my mind a few lines of Edwin Arnold's "Light of Asia," which, though of Oriental graft, express in poetic language the same logic, the same truth concerning "man's place In nature" and his condition according to fitness, adapta tion and environment: Kach hath such lordship aa the loftiest ones; Nay, for with Powers above, around, ba'ow. As with all flesh, and whatsoever llveth Act maketh joy and woe. While turns this wheel Invisible, No pause, no peace, no staying- place can be: Who mounts will fall, who falls may mount; The spokes go round unceasingly! And, again, what fine Irony there is In the contemplation of eternal Justice as viewed in the Oriental light according to the theory of reincarnation and applied to Mr. Markham's "Man With the Hoe": Who toiled a slave may qprac anew a Prince For gentle worthiness and merit won; Who ruled a King may wander earth in rags For things done and undone. The founder of Buddhism, to whom these words are attributed, did evidently not share Mr. Markham's philosophy. The Power which has been shaping the destiny of the race, producing In the course of evolution, from the cavedweller with a stone ax for an Implement, an Ed ison with his achievements in science, Is not neglecting the man with the hoe. La bor Is ennobling, not degrading, and he that teaches the contrary is advocating Ideas already too prevalent. i Especially In a country where free schools, churches, libraries and opportuni ties are the heritage of all alike, giving all alike the opportunity to exercise such talents and gifts as he may possess If there are some who fall to grasp these opportunities, whose Is the fault? There Is a natural adaptation of all things, expressed by Schiller in: "One man Is not adapted for all things, nor all men for one thing." The question is, is not the man who wields the hoe happier far than the man who tries to live off his wits? CHARLES GRISSEN. Evidence Asked For. PORTLAND, Feb. 18. (To the Editor.) With your Indulgence I would like to ask Mr. Murphy upon what authority he bases his knowledge that there are no abusive Dutch and quarrelsome Irish In hell. A satisfactory answer from Mr. Murphy would be of universal Interest and at the same time serve as a criterion of the balance of his knowledge. I have a belief that there are no good Dutch nor Irish in heaven, but there Is a vast differ ence between knowledge and belief. ROBERT GIBSON. a BUSINESS ITEMS.

The 300th anniversary of the burning of Glo'rdano Bruno was commemorated last evening by a large number of people of every shade of belief and nonbelief, at the Artisans' hall, Ablngton building. The address was delivered by William H. Gal vanl, and required a full hour for its de livery, during which time he held his au- dienct at closest attention. The manl-f-;s;atlons of approval on the part of he audience was frequent, and at the conclu sion the audience voted Its appreciation cf Mr. Galvanl's effort, and by a unanimous vote requested him to prepare a similar lecture on the life and work of Thomas Paine, which he promised for the near future. Mr. Galvanl began his address with a brief introduction bearing upon the origin of the intellectual development of human kind, the natural causes which have led to such development, and tho sense of gratefulness on the part of the average human being to all who contributed to the present state of civilization, divesting his subject of all supernaturallsm. It was in the spirit of this gratefulness to Gior dano Bruno that the 30oth anniversary of his last day on earth was commemorated. He then proceeded to an outline of the life, work and death of the Neapolitan monk, who was born In Nola, province of Naples, In about 1548; his life In the con vent of St. Domlnco Magglore, his ordi nation as priest of the church of Rome, his studies of the ancient classics, his tendency to pantheism, which received a great impulse from the work of Coperni cus on the "Revolutions of the Celestial Orbs"; his first flight from Rome, his life in Geneva, Toulouse, Paris and other Eu ropean centers. The speaker also dwelt at spme length on Bruno's life in England, the only fortunate period In the career of the great hereslarch, philosopher and poet, where from the remotest time free dom was among the "ancient rights" of the Britons. With this, he followed the course of Bruno, "the prophet of the everlasting voice of nature, who, like Xenophanes of Colophon, 300 years before his time, became a wanderer on the face of the earth, in order to set the world free from the trammels of Ignorance, hyp rocrlsy and superstition." "These wanderings," said the speaker, "he continued uninterruptedly until his arrest In Venice, on May 23, 1592, where he was tried by the Venetian Inquisitors who, we are told, were rather favorably inclined to the great pantheist. But when the rec ords reached Rome, San Severlna. the grand Inquisitor, at once demanded the surrender of the hereslarch, and after re peated efforts he succeeded, and the pris oner was finally surrendered to him at Rome on February 23, 1593, and at once consigned to one of the numerous dun geons. "After seven long years of thumb-screw and rack tortures, the man of 'heroic fury' proved one of the strongest powers under the sun, and when, on February 9, 1600,. the sentence consigning him to the flames was decreed upon him, Bruno, with a dignity that disturbed even his evangelical execu tioners, replied to them: 'I suspect that you pronounce my sentence with greatei fear than I receive it.' "What a climax! There is just one in recorded history like unto this, and that is In the reply of Socrates to his judges, who condemned him to drink the hemlock: 'It Is now time to depart, for me to die, and for you to live; but who of us is going to a better destiny Is unknown to every one but God.' Accordingly, Bruno expired In the flames on February 17, 1600, without a murmur, sigh or groan; but the flames which consumed the body of the noble martyr llberted a soul that hath set Western Europe ablaze and stamped upon the minds of men the supreme lesson that the truth of a religion or philosophy that depended for Its maintenance upon the scoffold or the stake Is against every prin ciple of sense or justice, human " or di vine." After reviewing the charges against Bru no, Mr. Galvanl presented an outline of the sublime and fascinating philosophy of the father of modern culture. "The basis of his whole system," said ho, "is to be found in the unity and univer sality of substance of which God is the original afld Immanent cause, the whole being Infinite in time and in space. Our solar system Is, therefore, one of the innumerable worlds, the origin of which is due not to an arbitrary act of God, but to an Inner necessity. All these magnifi cent stars, these myriads of brilliant bodies, are so many Inhabited worlds. Whose activities and permanent relation to each other must be due to some one cause or principle; and this majestic roof fretted with golden fire represents there fore an Infinity of worlds, constituting na ture realized, and God is but nature work ing in infinite ways aud worlds. Every thing within this Infinite universe that Is In motion Is moved not by a prime mover, but by the souls immanent in them. These souls are monads, and God is the monad of monads, the soul of the universe, whose Infinite excellence and majesty they pir claim by their operations with innumer able voices. Viewed from thlg stand ouint, the terrors Inspired by a god of wrath disappear, for in such a universe there 'ire no persecutions, excommunications and anathemas at one end of existence nor eternal damnation at tho other, and thosa of a devout turn of mind are broug'it Into direct communion with their God with out the Intervent'oi of eisnop or priest "Standing on the very threshold of the 20th century, the ideas which constitute the essence of Bruno's philosophy may seem, after all, of not so much importance. But let us not forget that Bruno's daring conception of the aboslute unity of the organic and Inorganic nature, more than anything else, stimulated the world's great minds to a line of activity which, after 300 years of application, evolved that sys tem to a point where It rests upon scien tific evidence, and Is. aa such, universally accepted by the best Informed and most Independent minds. To this complete tri umph of Bruno's philosophy, the theory of the 'Origin of Species and Descent of Man,' and the equally Important theory of the "Indestructibility of Matter and Persistence of Force,' have furnished a scientific basis by which it may be main tained in opposition to all received notions and traditions as elaborated by tbe empty sophistry of theological dogmatism. "SucH Is the Import of the debt we owe to the Neapolitan monk, who fought the world's great battle at a time when free dom of thought was a crime, and who, in the midst of the narrowest exclusiveness and grossest superstition, proclaimed himself a citizen of the world, wherein the Briton and Italian, man and woman, bishop and prince, monk and logician, are on an equality, because of their common origin and common destiny, and who re joiced In contemplating that he was a dutiful son of Father Heaven and Mother Earth. "With all this. I frankly admit that I do not understand why our emancipation from so many deadly errors, which eman cipation represents the whole history of tho intellectual development of the world. should require such an expenditure of so much heroic blood. Nor do I have the least understanding as to what constitutes the real mission of humankind upon this earth, though so many claim to know al about It. But I suppose whatever Is Insight; and hence whatever had been said here, had not been said for the purpose of pro voking any kind of a quarrel with sectir lan concerns over their most grievous of fenses of the past Its real purpose 's but to promote a renewal of allegiance to the great principle of freedom of thougnt which impels humankind to universal peace and toleration: for this the be5t of men have lived nnd died, and for this we still must struggle, and at times under a very heavy load. In this struggle, no-v- ever, we must let others admire and de light in the meaningless tatrleacies iH'd ont to them by the shepherds over the des erts they have made, but as for these who can think for themselves their eay place la under the glorious banner 6f freedom, wherever such banner be tod id. In our own day. Anglo-Saxondom is the extent of the world's free soil territory; the remaining yort'on Is practically tbe world's black belt its day of rederapttjn Is Mill 1m off, though surely eome it must." FUNNY FARCE COMEDY. "Too Much Johnson" Is Presented at Cordray's. "Dick" French and a number of other players quite familiar to Portland, brought "Too Much Johnson" to Cordray's theater for a week's engagement last night. A well-filled house, greeted the comedy and laughed to the echoes at the Idiotic frivoli ties of Glllett's making. The piece Is so well established in its reputation as a laugh-maker that it evokes past memories of smiling hours, and seems to carry It self Independent of Its Interpreters. French and his company cannot com plain of the attention they received. Mr. Cordray's patrons generally are bound to be pleased, and the house, last night, was in excellent humor so excellent that the rough spots were lightly passed. Mr. French seemed to wish to look and act more like R. E. French than the muchly-talked-of Johnson of the play. He carried the humor of the situations, how ever. Walter J. Brooks, as Mobs. Leon Dathlas, the vengeance-seeking French man, did the best and most amusing char acter work. Indeed, upon Mr. Brooks rested a great deal In the tickling cli maxes. George M. Hayes was all the Johnson that was necessary. Eva Earle French played Agustus Billings accept ably, as did Qulda Marlon the part of Mrs. RIpton Batterson. Maurice O'Con nor, Miss Mamie Holden and J. Lee Mor ris were well cast. It was unfortunate for Miss Holden that the part of Henry Mackintosh was in amateurish hands. "Too Much Johnson" is built solely to accommodate roaring farcical situations. The first act was inclined to be pokey last night. The comedy went better in the last act, but lte action should be more snappy and rapid throughout. With the toning up after the first night's production, "Too Much Johnson" should go well, and the piece will probably draw good all week. The orchestra obliged with some fresh selections last night, and was applauded. There will be the usual popular-priced matinee of "Too Much Johnson." WHERE TO DINE. By all means go to the Portland restaur ant, 305 Washington, near Fifth. Coffee, meats, dairy products, etc., are the best. oecoeeeeeoooeooecoeeeoeseo e e ?
