CITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Amucueiti Tonl-ht.
CORDRAY'S THEATER (Washington EtMt)
BorloWs Minstrels.
Morai. Kitchex. Many -women, ana
men as well, arc of late visiting and In
specting the kitchen fitted up In the base
ment of the building at the northwest
corner of Third and Morrison streets. It
may truly be designated a model kitchen,
as It excels In completeness and compact
ness anythlngof the kind "before seen here.
Housowlves view with admiration the gas
stoves of various kinds for cooking almost
everything, the gas broilers and the char
coal broiler; also the French range, and
the tower on 'it for baking pastry; the
copper stock kettle, the hot-water tables
for keeping everything warm, from roasts
and vegetables to the gravy. That which
Is most admired by women who do or help
to do their own work. Is the arrangement
for washing dishes, the most monotonous,
tiresome and disagreeable Job connected
with housekeeping. A. sink for soapsuds
adjoins a hot-water sink, and connected
with these Is a long draining board. Dishes
placed in a basket of perforated galvan
ized Iron are by means of a block and
tackle soused In the soapsuds till clean,
then rinsed In very hot water, and then
deposited on the draining board, where
they quickly dry without wiping. When
the millennium comes and women get their
rights, every kitchen will fce fitted with
One of these arrangements for washing
dishes, and every housewife will have a
man to operate It.
Monet in Potatoes. Farmers who
raised potatoes last year made lots of
money on the crop. If they sold them In
time, although the price Is low now. It
might naturally be supposed that this
would lead to the planting of large areas
In potatoes this Reason, but farmers my
such Is not tho case. Many of them fig
tire .that because potatoes were a good
crop last year and brought a good price,
so many will go Into the business of
raising potatoes. this year that they will
not be worth anything, and so they plant
fewer or none at all. The fact that Cali
fornia, which In years of drought fur
nishes a market for Oregon potatoes, has
had plenteous rains this season, and Is
likely to have good crops of everything,
has led some to plant a smaller acreage
of potatoes than usual. This may be
the correct way of growing potatoes, but
some old hands at the business plant about
tho same acreage year after year, and say
this plan wlU always win.
More Ioooino Camps. Logging camps
along the Columbia are more numerous
and of greater capacity than ever before,
and still the output is not sufficient to
supply the demand of the mills here,
which are now more numerous than ever
before. It is therefore necessary that
more logging camps should be started, and
a corporation has been formed in this
city, under the name of the Deep River
lagging Company, which has acquired an
option on a large tract of timber land on
Deep Itlvcr, a stream coming Into the
Columbia from the 'Washington side some
where In the vicinity of Knappton, and
the probability Is that a thoroughly
equipped camp will be started there before
long. Three miles of railroad will have
to be built to get the logs out to water,
where they can be made into rafts, but
this is not much of an undertaking for
loggers now, ac most logging camps have
railroads several miles In length connected
with them.
Tnotrr AnE Sur. Trout fishing Is fine
sport for those who enjoy It. but the
expense Is sometimes rather out of pro
portion to the number of fish caught. An
enthusiastic fisherman made a trip to
Dairy Creek one day last week which cost
him 19, and he caught only 14 trout, and
most of them barely exceeded the 5-lncb
limit required by law. lie says the stream
was too low. Dairy Creek has been a fa
vorite with fishermen for many years, and
has evidently been about flrticd out. How
ever, there are others In plenty, and In
somo not to well-known stream he may
have better luck next time. No remarkable
catches of mountain trout have been re
ported so far this season, except that
made by the Hillsboro saloon-keeper on
the first day of the. season 219, caught
with a fly, three at a cast a number ot
times. Not even the greenest fisherman
In the state took any stock In that story
Exult Roses. The first rose of the sea
son bloomed made Its appearance a few
days ago, and now specimens ot several
of the earliest varieties arc to be seen in
many gardens, and buds Just beginning to
open are seen by hundreds In every gar
den. Roses are. however, more advanced
In Oregon City than In Portland, as In the
City by the Falls bushes are to be seen
along the main street showing a dozen or
more blooms. The reason for this Is that
the town Ii sheltered "by the great rock
bluff behind it, which not only fends off
winds, but 'during the day absorbs heat
from the sun, which is given off during
the night, to the benefit ot all vegetation
in the vicinity. Cherry trees there are
fairly loaded with fruit of sufficient size
to be noticed from a distance, and all
kinds of plants and flowers In the gardens
there are further advanced than in Port
land. Come to Eat Aphis. A number of small
birds have been visiting the gardens about
tho city of late, preying on the aphis
which infest rose bushes. F. A. Stuhr,
bird fancier, says they are the plqe linnet.
2 native oi me loresis or uregon, ana
that they come out of the mountains at
Ihfi season to feast on the aphis. They
are tiny birds, and climb to the extremity
of the branches of Tosrushes, picking off
the aphis clean as they go. "It would be
a good thing If they would stay around
the gardens and orchards all Summer.

Splendid Minstrel Performance
Cordray's Theater.
nt
The Barlow minstrels., under the able
management of Harry Ward, gave tho
opening performance of a week's engage
ment at Cordray's Theater last evening
to an audience that overcrowded the thea
ter. Old-time minstrelsy Is a marked
change from the line of attractions that
have held the boards at Cordray's for
some time, and It was one that pleased
the patrons of the house, who came pre
pared to see a magnificent performance,
and they were In no wise disappointed. In
fact, the entertainment exceeded the ex
pectations of the most sanguine. Many
Innovations were Introduced, the costumes
and stage settings were superb and sump
tuous, the music was excellent, the Jokes
wero new and funny, and the comedians
were of the highest class. The grand
opening of the first part was called a sym
posium of Dplendor, and the scenic effects
were grand. Kresko, tho wizard of the
baton. Introduced the Barlow symphony
of solo musicians, presided over by Ernest
Garrett, and containing Ed Bate, Don
Cady, Henry Ronge, W. F. Parker, Fred
Warren, Carl Cameron, Otto Grentz and
Fred E. Peterson. After several operatic
selections, splendidly rendered, the black
faced premiers, Charles Cartmell and Walt
WIlDon, appeared on the scene and made
things lively for several minutes. John
D. Hood, the original conversationalist,
kept the audience In an uproar ot laugh
ter, and Walt Wilson sang. "I Want My
Chicken," in his Inimitable way. Hood
sang, "My Alabama Sweetheart" In a
manner that seldom Is heard In minstrel
shpws. James G. Reany sang "The Blue
and the Gray," a touching new ballad. In
exquisite voice, and then J. Author Co
burn, who is really a prince of colloquy,
took a turn. His witticisms were entirely
new, and the audience showed that this
was appreciated by generous applause.
Harry Ward and Lew Baldwin, who are
termed the magnates of modern min
strelsy, fairly brought down the house In
their black-faced specialties. Nothing
moro truly comical than some of Ward's
coon songs have been seen on a Portland
stage this reason, unless It was the new
song. "I'm All Alone," by Lew Baldwin.
Charles Cartmell Is the lad with the light
ning feet, and his fancy buck and wing
dancing was. highly artistic.
At the close of the first part a pleasant
innovation was brought in. The Barlow
hras3 quintet presented two operatic selec
tions in a splendid manner: "Miserere,"
from "11 Trovatore," and "Intermezzo."
from "Cavallerla Rustlcana."
Holland. Baldwin and Mason Introduced
hypnotism up to date In the second part,
and Newton, the expert club manipula
tor, did an entertaining tum. There was
a clever take-off on golf and some light
ning ragtime dancing. Harry Ward
amused the audience for several-minutes;;
me narmonica lour gave some splendid
selections. On the whole, the performance
was a meritorious one, and the house win
unuouoieaiy oe crowaea all the week.

Dr. Andrew C. Smith 8ufferlnsr From
Blood Poisoning-.
Dr. Andrew C Smith Is lying danger

while performing an operation. Late last
evening he was resting easily, but his
condition Is considered as very serious.
Last Saturday, while operating on n
woman at Coe'e Sanitarium for peritonitis,
the tenaculum, a sharp, hook-shaped In
strument, slipped and torn a small portion
of the middle flnir-r on the doctor's left
hand. Intent upon his work, the phy
sician did not notice the wound, which
was very elight, and continued the opera
tion. That evening the first symptoms ot
blood poisoning set In, and the Injured part
was cauterized with a hot Iron, after
which It was thought the poison was ex
pelled. Yesterday morning, the pains accom
panying blood poisoning returned, and soon
the doctor grew very 11U A consultation
of some 10 or 12 physicians was held, and

THEYSPOKE ON GAMBLING
PREACHERS REPLY TO A LETTER
FROM Y. St. C. A.
Dr.
Hill Defends His Position a
Minister Sermons ot Other
Pastors.
In response to a letter from H. W. Stone,
secretary of the Y. M. C. A. o number of
ministers preached yesterday on the sub
ject of gambling, or alluded to It In the
course of their sermons. Secretary Stone's
letter follows:
"Portland. April 30. Dear Sir: You are
doubtless aware that gambling, as well
as all forms of vice. Is being run wide
open In Portland ot the present time. New
gambling-houses are being opened, and
there Is a total Ignoring of the law by
the vicious elements In the city. The city
authorities must know of these conditions,
but make no effort towards Improvement,
and the Inference must be that there Is an
understanding between the elements of
vice and those whose duty It Is to enforce
"It seems to me that It Is now time that
public sentiment was aroused to the grow
ing vices in our city. Can I not ask that
at either your morning or evening service,
Sunday, April 22, you will speak about the
conditions maintaining In the city and en
ter protest against the Increase of law
lessness and vice In this community?
"Enolosed I send you a list of large pub
lic gaming-houses visited by a responsible
committee last night, together with num
bers of young men frequenting them, and
other data. It Is well known that there
are fully twice or three times as many
men In these irambllne-housea on Satur
day and Sunday nights as on other nights
of the week. As you doubtless know,
nearly every cigar store and hotel In the
city have gambling attachments, not on'.y
In the form of slot machines, but poker
and game rooms.
T should be glad to furnish you other
Information and facts In respect to the
alarming Increase of vice In this city. It
you so desire. Sincerely,
"H. W. STONE."
Tho enclosed list of gambling-houses
which the committee reported that they
discovered Is as follows:
130 Fifth street, Portland Club 65 men,
age 26, low-wage clerks and laborers; first
floor, electric keno and poker: second

DR. HILL'S REPLY.
He Makes a Pointed Allusion to Ills
Detractors.
Rev. Dr. Edgar P. Hill, of the First
Presbyterian Church, referred to the letter
In the course of his morning sermon. He
took for his text, "For the Kingdom ot
God Is not meat and drink; but righteous
ness and peaco and Joy In the Holy
Ghost." Romans xtv:17. In referring to
the way In which attempts are sometimes
made to describe and extend the kingdom
of God, the speaker said:
"Men sometimes argue as It the only
way to extend the kingdom Is by means of
law. They expect to regenerate society
by means of government. They seem to
think that If sufficient ordinances could be
passed" the millennium would "be here. 1
have always used my place as a minister
ot the gospel to urge the enforcement of
law, and the selection of clean men lor
office. It Is perfect folly for a preacher to
Imagine that he has done bis full duty
It he has pounded out his two weekly
sermons and stands with folded arms
whllo boys and girls go down to destruc
tion through gates of sin which should be
and could be closed. My work as a min
ister of the gospel is not simply to preach
sermons. It Is to save men.
"There has been placed In my hands a
letter from the secretary of the Young
Men's Christian Association, In which he
says that gambling Is becoming more prev
alent In Portland every day; that new
dens are being opened, and that the law
Is being entirely ignored by the vicious
element of the community. Here are the
nddretses ot eight of these public gambling
houses which a responsible committee
visited one evening last week. At one
were found Co men, mostly clerks and
laborers. Eight of these were mere boys.
At a place on Bumside street, over luo
young men were found, 15 of them mere
boys. At another 100 more young men
were found, the average age being 3)
years, and among the Interested specta
tors was a policeman, whose sworn duty
It was to bring lawbreakers to Justice.
And so on to the end of the sickening list.
"It la a state of affairs which should
not. must not, be allowed to contlnuo.
Long ago I gave a pledge to God that 1
would ever use my utmost effort to makej
the city In which I might live a place1
ot purity, ot obedience to law, where
youth might be surrounded by the things
which make for righteousness. Any man
who Insinuates that our pastor could be
turned from his duty concerning these
things dishonors you and Insults me.
"And yet when the last word has been
spoken concerning the enforcement of law,
the fact remains that society cannot be
regenerated by government. Trie move
ment Is from" a righteous community to
.righteous officers, rather than from
righteous officers to righteous community.
You sweep from office every man whose
hand has been smirched by a bribe or
whoso sjmpathles are with vice, and put
only ciders and deacons In their places,
the scarlet woman "will still ply her trado
and vice will skulk only with stealtbler
step up to your very doors.
Row small of all that human hearts endure
That part which laws or kings can causs or
cure.
"Men sometimes attempt to circum
scribe the kingdom by means of statement
ot belief. Two hundred and fifty years
ago a company of learned and pious men
gathered In London to describe the king
dom of God. It was a magnificent docu
ment which they placed at last before the
world. How many thoughtful men have
been glad to lay their hand on that sum
mary of belief and say, T accept this as
containing the system of doctrine taught
in the Bible'! But foi long time It
has been evident to many minds that the
Westminster Confession does not circum
scribe the kingdom of God. A man may
be willing to place his name at the bottom
of that declaration with announcement
that he subscribes to It, adjectives, prepo
sitions, commas and periods, and yet be as
far from the kingdom as the east Is from
the west. A Theodore Cuyler, whose use
ful ministry and godly lite have been the
Joy of the church, says that there are
portions of It which he cannot accept, and
expresses the hope that the day may come
speedily when we shall have a new. short,
simple creed, written In the language of
today, to which wo may give our heartier
loyalty."
SPOKE OX GAMBLING.
Rev. II. D. Atchison at Grace Meth
odist Church.
As a prelude to the sermon Sunday
mornlnr. the Dastor of Grace Methodist
church, Hugh D. Atchison, spoke on thai
lawlessness ot the' city as revealed by
the Investigations ot the Y. M. C A. He
said In part:
"The charges brought by the Y. M. C.
A. against our city officials, who are al
lowing gambling to flourish and increase
In open defiance of laws, reveals a dis
graceful and dangerous state of affairs.
It Is fitting that the churches be asked
to protest: for, together with the public
school, the churches are the great con
servators of morals and the educators ot
good citizenship. If there be one vies
more utterly and gratuitously vicious than
another, it Is the vice of gambling. There
Is not one single argument for an "open
city" that can appeal to any decent citi
zen. To tolerate public gambling is false
economy; It la a business loss. It Is de
bauching to morals, public and private.
Doubtless, the only effective protest Is
that which finds expression at the polls.
If it is possible to get this important
Issue clearly drawn at the next elec
tion, let every Christian vote be found
on one side. Meanwhile let the sentiment
ot the good citizenship ot our city assert
itself In a way that our officials shall not
mistake."
PORTLAND'S SIXS.
Snbject of Rev. Alexander Black
barn's Morning" Discourse.
"Portland's Sins" was the morning top
ic of Dr. Alexander Blackburn, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, yesterday. HU
text was taken from Matthew xxlv:12,
"And because Iniquity shall abound, the
love of many shall wax cold." Dr. Black
burn said In part:
"Does lawlessness abound In Portland?
The question Is a fair one, and deserves
to be fairly treated. By lawlessness, I
shall refer only to the laws of the state
and city, not the higher law which makes
the sale of liquor In a saloon a lawless act
In all circumstances. Measured by the
standard of law In Oregon and Portland,
thero Is a condition of lawlessness In the
city.
"Nine-tenths of the saloons are lawless.
We have a Sunday law, under which
every saloon ought to be closed. Practi
cally every saloon In the city Is open to
day. No effort Is made to close them.
They are as wide open as on week days.
There Is a law forbidding sales to minors.
It Is violated conttnualfy and openly.
There Is a law forbidding the presence or
employment ot women or girls In saloons,
and I am told that this Is In many cases
a dead letter, for women both serve and
drink liquors In open saloons. There Is
a law against the distribution of obscene
pictures and literature, yet some of the
saloon-keepers have their own cards on
documents that are too vile to name.
They meet the sailors at the wharves and
distribute this miserable stuff. I have
taken ope ot these cards to the authorities
offering to furnish the witnesses, but have
been Ignored. Lawlessness abounds In the
saloons.
"Then there are the gambling places.
There Is no pretense of any right for
these to exist. All gambling Is lawless.
Nobody denies it. The Chief of Police
told a company ot gentlemen that ho
could stop all open gambling If he tried,
and for a time he did seem to do so. The
present condition Is seen from the follow
ing report mado by three men who visited
eight gambling places last Thursday even
ing. Seven of these were running and the
other was In full readiness. The games
were those common to gamblers. Four
hundred and three men were present,
pome of them young business men, soma
laborers, somo clerks, and a number of
foreigners. They were mostly young men,
there being S9 boys under 2L On Saturday
or Sunday nights the number would have
been greater. Names and locations can
be furnished to those who need to know.
Surely lawlessness abounds as to gam
bling. "Of the social evil I need only say that
our city far surpasses any other known
to me In the boldness and openness of this
sin. Depraved men and women are on
the alert to catch tho feet of the un
wary. "But how does this affect the work of
the church in Its spiritual activities? The
very fact that our American life knows
no class distinctions makes lawlessness
tho more dangerous. Where there are
distinct lines of division In society, ona
class might be lawless and another class
be little affected. But In politics, in busi
ness, and almost entirely in society we
are on a level. We breathe a common
air, and If that Is poisoned we ail suffer.
If the great main that brings water from
the mountains was full of fever germs,
the lady who drew the water from a silvet
faucet Into a cutglass pitcher would be
In the same danger as the man who
drew It from a brass faucet Into a rusty
tin cup. Lawlessness contaminates th
air, and deadens the life of all.
"Abounding lawlessness familiarizes us
with sin. The newspapers feel compelled
to give the news, and theaters put on the
stage the wickedness of men, and the
modern novel Is too often a portrayal of
the worst side of life.
"Abounding lawlessness discourages in
Christian work. Nothing cools ardor more
than the sight of disaster. On the first
day at Shlloh, General Grant was badly
Injured by the fall of his horse, but he
stayed on the field. Night came with
beating rain. At midnight he went to a
house, hoping for some rest, but found
It full of wounded and dying. He said:
The sight was more unendurable than
encountering the enemy's fire, and I re
turned to my tree In tho rain.' Oh. the
disheartening effect of these wounded and
dying!
"Then wo get the notion that nothing
can be done. One of the worst habits
a man can fall into Is the habit of being
whipped. It Is said that soon after Grant
.took the Army of the Potomac he crossed
' j.. ...... i - . .. ...
it ii.ci uuu uau a. naxu uame wnn tne
'enemy. In which he suffered moat. At
night his Generals came to his tent and
remained till they were told that It was
tlmo to retire. 'But General. said one
ot, them, 'we want to know the order of
retreat?" Grant's answer was: 'Gentle
men, we attack the enemy at daylight.'
He was not In the habit of being whipped.
I heard of a man who had a young dog.
He put him In a yard with a rooster, and
,the rooster lorded It over the dog by
ceasing ana pecKlng him, while the dog
ran whining from him. This continued for
a;long time, until one day that dog waked
up to the fact that he was larger and
stronger, and he surprised the rooster by
giving him such a trouncing as forever
established the mastery. The good people
of our community are very much like that
dog. It Is time for us to show the lawless
element that we are strong enough to
rule.
"It Is one thing for a church to work
along evangelistic lines only, that Is to
do nothing but seek the conversion of In
dividual souls. This we must do, but this
Is not enough. There come times when
lawlessness must be put down, and the
good people must do It. Moses had to
call for a consecration of swords, Elijah
had to slay the prophets of Baal, and
John the Baptist was a reformer of the
most vigorous type. True, we cannot
make men good by law. No one expects
to do that, but we can make them stop
their crimes by law. Putting a man In
the penitentiary does not make him a
saint, but It does stop his stealing. Law
enforcement will stop much crime.
"We can use our ballots to good pur
pose. I believe It Is possible from the
lists ot men up for office to select men
who will do their duty. As citizens and
Christians, it is time that we do this."
Completing; the Road to Sandy.
Road Supervisor Revenue is pushing con
struction on the last mile and a half ot
the plank road between Pleasant Home
and the Bandy Revenues. Within the
next few weeks the road will be finished,
so that there will be a fine road from
Portland to the post office, a distance ot
about 2S mllea At most any time of the
year one can travel to the Sandy awheel,
as there Is a fine cycle path to Pleasant
Home, and from there to the Sandy there
I
.,.., - .aJ11.1 f&;hA,
Is a plank road. To Supervisor Reve
nue belongs much of the' credit for. the
fine road that will soon be completed. Two
years ago there was only a narrow open
way through the timber, passable for only
a portion of the year for a' loaded wagon.
It has been widened, the stumps blasted
out, and the plank road, eight feet wide,
started, and It Is this roadway which is
nearlng completion. Alongside the plank
road Is a Summer road ot dirt. The plank
Is for Winter travel. Large contributions
from farmers along tbg route and from
the saw mill owners, the latter delivering
lumber at cost for the road, together with
kid from Clackamas County, facilitated
construction.
