Thet Didn't Fight. Two street gam-
Ins quarreling about a dime which one had
some unfair war taken from the other
attracted a crowd on the sidewalk- In
ront of the Marquam block yesterday.
ne Boys were stripped to fight, but both
rere sniveling and seemed clad that an

had Intervened and kept them from get-

tig, 'glmmemydlme, glmmemydlme.
but the boy who had U exhibited na dis
position to give up the coin. The crowd
stood around, evidently In hope that the
Intervener would be put aside and the
principals engage In deadly combat, but
not one of them attempted to put an end
to the disgraceful scene. Finally there
came along a young man who used to be
a newsboy himself. He pushed Into 'the
crowd, and as soon as he realized what
the row was about, he Handed a dime to
the wronced boy, pushed one of the dis
putants down the street and the other up.
andtold them to get away out of sight.
The lntervcnor then set up a howl, find
wanted some one to give him a dime.
Perhaps those who gathered around the
boys were not much to blame for not at
tempting to put an end to the scene, fot
there Is an old and wis maxim in regard
to Interfering in the quarrels of others,
and, besides. It is a very unwise thing
to interfere with any other person s boys
in this day and age, and particularly
risky to lay hands on any unllcked cub
running at large.
Death on Rats. A prominent cittien
and member of one of the city boards of
commissioners , has no sympathy with oil
the fuss that has been made at Astoria
about catching rats, and which, so fat
as heard from, has resulted In the death
of two of these dreaded plague-spreading
rodents. Ho says that within the past
year he has caught In his cellar over 130
rats, and has in one corner of his prem
ises a rat cemetery, which contains the
remains of over 200 of these animals. He
says he makes no pretensions to being a
scientific ratcatcher, and devotes no par
ticular pains to the business. He merely
keeps a "catch-'em-all e" wire rat trap,
set In his cellar all the time, baited with
cheese, and he Imagines he has caucht
all the rats of his neighbors for blocks
around. He has had as many as 15 rats
all alive in his trap at once, and says
that if everybody would keep a trap set
as he does, there would soon be no rati
left In the city. He says the general Idea
that after a few rats have been caught
In a trap no others will go Into It Is a
fallacious Idea, for If the trap Is scalded
once In a while, it Is just as good as
new. This advice If followed will prove
much more efficacious than offering a
bounty on rats, but it may cost more, ai
no one appears to be anxious to earn this
kind of a bounty.
Bio Bueiness in Fisn Poles. It is very
eeldom that any fisherman lh this city or
vicinity is seen with a bamboo fishing
rod expept it be a split Bamboo but there
are .an Immense number of plain bamboo
"poles" used In this state. The fact that
one wholesale firm In this city recently
received 250 bundles of these bamboo poles,
most of them containing 100 poles, but a
lew bundles of large poles, containing
only 0, will give an Idea of the vast
number of persons who go a-fishlng on
the countless streams which unite to form
the m.ghty Columbia. Those who use
bamboo poles are only a small part of the
total number of persons who fish for trout.
thousands of country bojs ask for
nothing better In the way of a fishing
rod than a hazel sprout or sapling they
cut on the. stream they fish In. This can
be proven by many persons who, on visit
ing some favorite stream, find it littered
from one end to the other with fishing
rods of this kind discarded by those who
have been there before "many a time."
Sport at the Traps. The M. A. A. C.
Rod and Gun Club had two successful
uhoots Saturday and yesterday on their
grounds In Irvlngton. The traps were
working well, and the clay pigeons fell
right and left. The first match Saturday
was at 10 birds, and the following were
downed: Honeyman, 10; Thome,.: Cul-
llson, 9; Hudson, S: Cox, 7; Davis, 7;

No GnossnEAKs This Year. Portland
has not received a visit this -season from
the-pretty llttlo grossbeaks which were
so numerous here last Spring and were so
hospitably treated, being furnished with
hems seed dally while (here was snow
on the ground. They also tarried here
much later than usual, on account of the
backward Spring. They are pretty birds,
but. as they only visit Portland when
the winter Is coMer than Is usual or
pleasant, few would feel sorry If they
were never seen here again. A winter and
Spring such as have just passed are more
enjoyable than cold, snowy weather, with
all the birds In the mountains to enter
tain. People who wish to see the rross
beaks can find them along the Wilson
elver or almost any other stream In tht
I Coast range, where they have their breed
ing grounds.

KEPT A SECRET 30 YEARS.
An Old Resident Told It Only When
. About to Depart.
J. Ormsby, an old-time resident of this
city, will leave In a few days for his
native state. New York, to spend the re
mainder of his days among his relatives.
He. yesterday. In bidding good-bye to an
old friend, relieved his conscience by con
fessing to an act of moral turpitude which
has weighed heavily on him for over SO
years, and he was absolved.
In the Spring of 1SC9, Mr. Ormsby was
living at the New Columbian Hotel, which
then stood at the southeast corner of
Front and Morrison .streets. He was fond
of fishing and spent much of his leisure
thne fishing from the wharf back of the
hotel. One day a guest arrived at the
hotel, who was fond of fishing, and who
naturally soon formed the acquaintance
of Ormsby, and they had lots of fun
catching pike, chubs, "bass," etc Finally
they concluded to go up to Mllwaukle to
fish for trout, having learned that there
was a good trout stream there. They
caught a tin can full of grasshoppers for
bait. It being late In the season, and start
ed on their expedition, having first agreed
that the man who caught the smallest
number of fish should put up the cigars.
etc. for both.
When they landed at Mllwaukle they
hunted around for the trout stream, and
finally stumbled onto Johnson Creek,
which empties Into the Willamette there.
The banks were brushy, the stream was
very low, and the trout were few and
far between so far that after the first
ono was caught by the stranger, neither
he nor Ormsby ever got far enough to
catch another.
After wading up the creek and strug
gling through the brush and exuding sev
eral buckets of sweat, the stranger, who
had the one fish and the bait can, conclud
ed to give Ormsby the slip and return to
town, trusting to his lone trout to make
him "high line" and winner of the cigars,
etc He came across the right of way of
the O. & C R. R. below Wltlsburg. and
struck out for home The right of way
had been cleared and ran for a great part
of the way across what Is now the prop
erty of the Ladd estate, through & swamp,
where there were lots of ash trees and
a thousand times as many snakes, hideous-looking
reptiles, black, striped with
yellow, and the very looks of them pois
onous, although nothing elsa about them
was poisonous.
The stranger had a mortal dread of
snakes, and the chills ran down his spinal
column as he splashed through the black
pools of water which covered his path
across which snakes were swimming In
every direction. He finally reached the
hotel, and had changed his clothes and
cleaned up, when he encountered Ormsby,
who owned up that he had not caught a
fish, and paid for the refreshments like a
man.
That stranger Is now not one of the
"oldest residents" of this city, but Is
trending rapidly toward that stage, and
Ormsby and he have been on friendly
terms all there 30 years, and more, and
have seldom met during that time with
out one or the other suggesting that It
was about time to go fishing again. When
Ormsby yesterday announced his Impend
ing departure, and bid his old friend an
affectionate farewell, he said he wanted
to ease his mind by making & confes
sion. "You will remember." said he. "that
our bet was about the number of 'fish
caught, trout not being specified. When
I found that we were not going to catch
any trout, I slid out for home, thinking
to catch a lot of fish off the wharf, and
so win the bet, but I could not catch one,
and I am now glad of It. This I consid
ered a wicked thing at the time, and it
has weighed on my conscience ever since,
and now that we are to part, probably
never to meet again In this world, I hae
made this confession and hope to be for
given." He was assured of forgiveness. If any
were necessary, for his friend had also
something to confess, which he thought
would make honors even, and he then
admitted that he had deliberately sneakeif
off with the can of bait, with, the Inten
tion of making Ormsby lose the bet, by
rendering it Impossible for him to catch
any fish. So all was forgiven, and the
two friends, whose paths In life had come
together In this city and were now to part
forever here, bade each other farewell
forever. This life Is made up of meetings
.and partings, and things which occur In
cidentally between spells.
LIVELY FARCE COMEDY.
"nave Yon Seen Smith I" Pleases a
IllK House at Cordray's,
"Have You Seen Smith?" at Cordray'a,
following the long run of the Boston
Lyrics, proved an exceptionally strong at
traction at Its opening last evening. The
old "standing room only" sign went up
oarly. but It did not prevent a throng
packing the foyer and aisles. "Have You
Seen Smith 7" was Uely and boisterous
enough for the most exacUng. A Jumble
of catch-as-catch-can comedy, a confusion
of Smiths and one Schmidt, bits of music
and some bright specialty work that Is
what It Is. There can be no doubt that
Smth Is seen from the tlmo Captain John
(Smith Is Introduced with his Incubator
I until the numerous bearers of the name
show that they are the whole play. On J.
T. Tlerney. as Baron Michael Rowdedow,
devolves the burden of the play, and his
peculiar Irish characterization offers a
rather novel, although very fair, study of
Celtic humor. A member of the Italian
Diplomatic Corps, the affianced of Cap
tain Smith's daughter Ruth, and the per
sistent persecutor of his Intended mother-in-law.
Michael's situations are of the
lightning-change order. Captain Smith 's
amusing in his role of patient yet ludicrous
husband, as well as the little specialty
parts thrown In between. Thomas- Ripley,
who regulates household affairs, under the
title of Bobs, won approval In bis song
of "Tomorrow," and many other parts
were made hits by his personality. Hans
Schmidt, president of the Incubator trust,
was German throughout, and contrasted
well with the Irish of Mr. Tlerney. Sev
eral pretty girls add to the confusion In
the catchy songs' occasionally Introduced.
"Have You Seen Smith?" will run this
week.

all expect the rush to Increase
when settled weather prevails. The build

ly of the modern residence order, though j

At the Southern Pacific caxshops a steam
pump has been In operation during the

struction of the foundation of the first
building. Not much progress was made,
however, as the water comes In almost as
fast as the pump can pump It out. The
switch on which building material will be
nauied to the grounds Is nearly complet
ed. There Is some delay In finishing up the
switch on account of the lack of spikes.
In sslte of tho rains ot the past week
good progress was made on the foundation

stands on East Seventh and East Bel
mont streets, will stand directly on the
east side of the half block, and thus the
entire ground will be taken up with the
plant.

STAINED "CRUCIFIXION"
KEJiDEHED .FOR THE FIRST TIME
, IX PORTLAND LAST SIGHT.
Artistic Work Done by Choir ot the
First ConsrresraUonal Church 5
and Their Assistants.
: Every available square Inch of space
was occupied last night at the First Con
gregational Church, even standing room
being Impossible to obtain for latc-com-ers.
Every one felt that the rendering
of Stalncr's "Crucifixion" was a musical
event of no small Importance, not only
because It was tho first time this beauti
ful oratorio has been presented In Port
land, but also because of the artistic and
effective manner In which It was sure
to be sung. The effort was Indeed an
ambitious one: only the unusually strong
work the choir of this church has been
doing of recent years made It possible.
The success ot the venture was unmis
takable, as the profound and appreciative
silence that prevailed throughout the big
audience while the oratorio was In prog
ress testified. Certainly no more effica
cious way could have been found ot Im
pressing the sorrowful solemnity of Palm
Sunday and Passion Week upon the peo
ple
The regular quartet choir of the church
comprising Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Mrs.
F. J. Raley, W. J. Belcher and W. A.
Montgomery, were assisted by four other
singers, viz.: Mrs. Pollard Clifton. Mrs.
R. M. Sturgis. E. Drake and Charles HI
Hoes, all under the direction of W. A"
Montgomery, whose good taste and ex
cellent Judgment were shown at every
turn. Much of tho heavy work 'of tho
occasion devolved upon him, since he not
only had to plan and superintend the
many details of the production, but. In
addition to this, did much ot the bass
work, both as to solos and choruses.
Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer's superb vigor
and effectiveness of attack, together with
her absolute reliability and able leader
ship In the chorus, made her service of
Immeasurable value In achieving success.
Ralph Hoyt presided at the organ, his
accompaniments showing delicacy and re
fined musical taste. Much of the re
sponsibility devolved upon him. and he
met It ably. The full text of the pro
grammes enabled the congregation to fol
low the meaning of the various numbers
as they were sung, thus adding materially
to the Intelligent appreciation and enjoy
ment ot those present.
The oratorio opens with "The Agony
In Gethsemane." and the seizing of Jesus.
The latter is assigned tho basa part; oth
erwise, there Is no personality attached
to tbe various voices. Mr. Montgomery's
singing of these bass solos waa marked
by sincerity and earnestness. There was
a soft beauty and mellow richness to his
voice that went home to the hearts of
hla hearers. The note of agitation Is
struck for the first time In the number
for tenor and bass. "And they laid their
hands on Him." The "Processional to
Calvary" follows this, and with It a
chorus full of splendid energy. "Fling
Wide the Gates," one of the notable num
bers of the .oratorio. It Is full of proph
ecy and the triumph that awaits the ful
fillment of the Saviour's mission to earth.
In this, as Indeed In all the work ot the
evening, the careful regard given to the
Innumerable small changes In tempo must
be commented upon, since this was a
leading cause of the general effectiveness
of the music The nuances were never
lightly passed over, but each recelvpit
artistic consideration. Mrs. Bauer's fine
taste and brilliant voice naturally con
tributed largely to the successful treat
ment or these effects, but the two con
traltos also did remarkably good work.
Their tones were unfailingly sweet and
satisfying: they apparently did not strike
a false note during the entire evening,
nor lose an opportunity for effective shad
ing. Only one criticism could be made of
them; they showed too much self-restraint;
If their voices had displayed
greuter power, the harmonies would have
been considerably enriched. Dr. Stalner
has given them a very subordinate part
In his work. Mr. Belcher sang tho tenor
solo In this chorus and threw much feel
ing Into it.
The tragic sorrow of the crucifixion fol
lowed. Mr. Hoeg singing the two bass
solos. It was Interesting to note the in
troduction of a hj-mn between these two
solos, something after the 'manner of the
"chorals" In Bach's "Passion Music"
These hymns were Intended to bo sung by
the choir and the congregation, and this,
no doubt, is the Ideal way of rendering
tho oratorio, but as will be easily seen. It
Is hardly practicable under ordinary cir
cumstances, since unless these hymns are
given thoroughly well, with special train
ing of the entire congregation, the artistic
effect of the oratorio as a whole will
suffer.
Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer's rendering of
the solo. "King Ever Glorious," assigned
to the tenor (for, like the contralto, the
soprano has no solo In this oratorio) was
the leading feature ot.the evening. It was
superbly given. Its triumphant ring soft
ening at times to a most touching pathos
and melting tenderness. The number as a
whole was Instinct with dramatic fire
and sympathetic feeling, such as thrilled
every heart.
The tranquil beauty of the succeeding
quartet showed to excellent advantage the
fine blending of voices In the regular quar
tet of the church, together with Its deli
cate attention to light and shade. Nearly
all the remaining numbers wete assigned to
the tenors and bassos. Tbe mystery of
the dlvino Intercession add the divine com
passion were dwelt upon, which led up to
a very beautiful solo, given by Mr. Mont
gomery, "Is It Nothing to Your This
forms part of the appeal of the crucified,
and Is full of pathos and hcart-plerclng
b'eauty. The chorus, "From the Throne or
His Cross" continues the same strain of
feeling, a mingling of agitation, question
ing and tender sorrow. It made an Im
pressive conclusion to the story of the
Crucifixion.
- WANT TO TRADE HERE.
Lnlcevlevr People Eager to Buy in
Portland's Markets.
"The people of Lake County would pre
fer to trade la Portland, but are com
pelled to deal with San Francisco, on
account of tbe difference in the freight
charjes," said J. E. McGarvey, of the
Lakevlew Examiner, at the Imperial
yesterday. He, with a party of othsf
Lakevlew citizens', arrived over the South
em Pacific, via Ashland, after four dajs'
travel by private conveyance between
Lakevlew and Ashland, a distance of ISO
miles.
"We Lakevlew people have been hauling
our freight by wagon from Amadee. on
the Central Pacific, a distance ot 160 miles,
at a cost of 2 cents a pound," be con
tinued, "but a narrow-guage road has
Just been constructed by the Nevada, Cal
ifornia & Oregon Company, from Reno
o Juniper Ridge, which will shorten our
wagon haul about one-half, but we pin our
faith on the Columbia Southern, which we
sincerely hope will extend down into
Southeastern Oregon and thus connect us
with our natural, as well as political,
headquarters at Portland, At present we
are cut off from this city, and thereby
loso the splendid market for our stock
which bas grown up on.Puset Sound and
In Alaska within the past few ) ears'. Our
stockmen are all anxious for a direct
railroad to Portland, as they are obliged
to ship cattle and sheep by rail, either
East or to San Francisco, and the charges
are much higher while the market Is no
better than Portland offers.
"Lakevlew Is so remote from Portland
that very few of our citizens reach this
city oftener than once In 10 years, and
the same rule applies to the people of
Portland visiting Lakevlew. Out of over
200 commercial travelers visiting us In the
course of a year, but 30 are "from Portland,
and these come more for the cake of
sociability than for the purpose ojf ob
taining orders. The direct communica
tion between Portland and Lakelew can
not come any too soon tor us, and I am
very sure the change will be Of great
benefit to Portland."
A Deadly Projectile.
Indianapolis Press.
The Lee-Metford bullet Is about four
times as long as It Is thick, and to keep
It straight In its flight. It has to be made
to rotate at a tremendous rate by the
rifling of the gun. Obviously, this long,
narrow bullet meets with much less re
sistance from the air than the old spher
ical ball of the smooth-bore musket. But
the swift rotation has another efTect.
When the bullet strikes a man it bores
Its way In like a gimlet, and nothing
can stop It.
