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.

Funeral of Guy 3Illlnrd Attended by
His Comrndes.
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.

"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-

nessed In Portland. Both teams have
practiced faithfully for this final game
of the season, and whereas the Asso

LOGGING CAMPS ARE BUSY
DE3IAAD FOR. TIMBER GREATER
THAX EVER BEFORE.
Mills Can Saw Loss Faster Than
They Can. 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.

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.

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

the theory of reincarnation and applied to
Mr. Markham's "Man With the Hoe":
Who toiled a slave may qprac anew a Prince

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

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.

ON THE DEATH OF BRUNO
INTERESTING ADDRESS BY WILLIAM
H. GALVANI.
He Spoke to a Large Audience In
Artisans.' Hall, on the Mar
tyred Monk.
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.
