Amusement Tonlsbt.
CORDRATS THEATER (Wajhtruton Street) -Barlow's
MlnstraU.
There Was No Fnosr. Many persons
were surprised yesterday mormng. when
tbey ventured out, that there was no frost
on the ground. The night had been cold,
and about midnight many closed bedroom
windows and put extra blankets In their
beds, and as they Jumped Into bed again
predicted that there would be a "frost a
killing frost" In the morning. There was
quite a heavy coating of frost on roofs
and eldenalks. about 3 A. 1L, and then
the temperature moderated and a slight
shower of rain fell, and when dayilght
came there were no signs of frost or of
any effects of one. The shower probably
averted serious damage to fruit. The
cool, northerly wind which has prevailed
for some days has been very unpleasant,
and frosts, hall squalls and slight falls
of enow have been reported from many
places throughout the state. Wednesday
a farmer drove a load of hay Into town
which was covered with a thin coating of
snow. He stopped his team in front of a
sarden where there was a large snowball
bush In full bloom, and a boy scrambled
upon the load and made a lot of snowballs
and snowballed the snowball bush, and
with the snowballs ho had made knocked
a lot of the snowballs off the tree. Thla
eort of thing does not often happen here,
as the two kinds of snowballs are not often
found In the same vicinity.
Crematoiit Officehs. At a meeting of
the1-board of directors of the crematory
corporation recently organized, Emmet
Williams was elected president of the
company: Judge C. B. Bellinger vice-president;
Julius I Meier secretary and treas
urer. A committee of dlrectqra was ap
pointed to make certain arrangements re
garding preparatory work, and to confer
with Frank B. Gibson as to the manage
ment of the concern, should It commence
active work. This committee consisted of
President Williams. Vice-President Be.lin
ger, J. Couch Flanders, D. P. Thompson
and George W. Weldler. As organization.
Is now complete, the question will soou
be determined whether sufficient financial
support Is accorded by the community to
begin operations. The prospect looks en
couraging. Judging by favorable comments
end the eagerness of many to see such an
Institution established In Portland, so that
those desiring Incineration will not be
forced to patronize San Francisco.
Good Run or Shad. Shad In largo num
bers continue to be received from the
lower Columbia and Sacramento shad
are no longer in the market. The Colum
bia fish are in very fine condition, and
average well in size, but so far the heavi
est has not exceeded eight pounds, and
the 10-pound shad so often heard of, but
1 never seen, is still being looked for. At
the Bast four to six-pound shad are con
sidered a fair average, but a 94-pound
shad has been seen here, and reports of
12-pound shad have come from California,
but no shad of that weight has ever come
here. It is fair to presume that, as the
Columbia River produces the largest and
best salmon and sturgeon known, so It
will produce the largest and finest shad
known, and all stories of heavier shad
than those caught in the Columbia must
be taken with a handful of salt.
Certificates Mcst Be Stamped. The
attention of candidates who will soon be
filing their certificates of nomination Is
called to the fact that these certificates
require an Internal revenue stamp. It
eeems that all candidates have not kept
this in mind. The Republican State Cen
tral Committee desires to impress upon
all candidates on their ticket that the law
must not be disregarded. What the re
sults would be has not been determined.
It is unlikely that a man's election would
be Impaired, but It Is quite certain that a
candidate falling to use the requisite
stamp would be subjecting himself to the
penalty for violating the law. The short
est way out of the difficulty Is to stamp
the certificate before filing it.
Ciover-Destrotixo Insect. A citizen
of Alblna has a plot of very fine clover,
which, to his Intense disgust, is belnjc
killed by some kind of an Insect, which
attacks the stalks Just above the ground.
He at first Imagined that snails, which
are a great pest In some gardens, and
grass plots in this vicinity, were eating off
his clover: but upon examination It was
found that the mischief was caused by a
small Insect of some species unknown
to any one who examined It. The pro
prietor of the clover plot Is now looking
for a bugologist to afford him the mourn
ful satisfaction of knowing what is the
name of the Insect which Is spoiling his
hay crop.
Helped His Father to Escape. L. a.
Grayson, a 16-year-old boy. has been ar
rested In Portland, in response to a mes
sage from Sheriff Huff, of Montesano.
Wash., who arrived last evening to take
charge of him. The lad Is accused of as
sisting his father and one Downing to
escape from the Jail at Montesano. Gray
son, the elder, was Incarcerated for lar
ceny, and was recaptured here some three
weeks ago. and Downing, who had been
convicted of murder, was shartly after
ward found hidden In the woods near
Montesano. The authorities of Chehalli
County accuse the lad of passing tools
Into the Jail, so as to enable the prisoners
to cut their way out.
Taxes Coming in Slowlt. Sheriff Fra
iler yesterday paid over $30,009 more of
taxes collected to the Cnunlv Trnnsiirpr.
teaking $123,500 In all of taxes for 1S39 paid
I to .the Treasurer, and the Sheriff has
sun aDoui iu,uw on nana. As the total
collected amounts to only about one
eighth of the tax levy,, although 46 of the
&0 days allowed In Vlnch to collect the
taxes have passed. It may with truth be
said that the taxes are coming in slowly.
This, however, is the usual condition of
things, as the small taxpayers are the first
to pay their taxes, and so far none of the
large taxpayers have paid their taxes, nor
are they likely to till the 90 days are about
passed.

Clerk Noltner Resigns. Fred H.
Noltner, stenographer for the Chief of
Police, has resigned his position, and wl.l
commence work In the Oregon Short Una
office Monday. Mr. Noltner was First
Sergeant of Company H. Second Oregon
Volunteers, dining the Spanish War, In
which capacity he earned the highest es
teem of all who came In contact with him.
officially or otherwise. Before enlisting as
a volunteer, he was stenographer to the
Chief of Police, then under the Pennoyer
administration. While absent in Luzon
the Pennoyer administration went out of
power, but when the soldiers returned
the present Republican Police Commis
sioners. In recognition, of Mr. Noltner
faithfulness and patriotism, tendered him
his old position, which he accepted. He
has been under Chief McLauchlan ever
since, and now transfers to the railroad
business much to the Chiefs TegreL Mr.
Noltner is one of the most popular mem
bers of the Police Department, and will
be missed by all the force from Chief to
patrolmen, but as a better opening is of
fered he goes with best wishes for suc
cess. Started on Its Journet. The old
Mllwaln residence, -which has stood o
long at the southwest corner of Seventh
and Washington streets, was yesterday
fairly started on Its Journey southward.
The house was built nearly 30 years ago by
E. Mllwaln. dealer In stoves and tinware,
and was used by him as a residence for a
number, of years. It was, when built,
rather a pretentious mansion, and Mr. Mll
waln was a well-to-do and prosperous mer
chant. Reverses succeeded, and the prop
erty passed out of his hands, and he has
been dead a number of years. With the
removal of this house, and the tearing
down of the Deody Tesldence, one block
south, both to be replaced with brick
business blocks, there Is but little left
on Seventh street to remind one of early
days, and it will before long cease to be
a residence street, as far as the central
portion of It Is concerned.
Soap Artist Again. The old artist In
the misuse of soap, campaign card-writer
and political proplyt. who Journeys here
from San Francisco whenever an election
Is near, to help the gang in relieving can
didates of their loose change, has arrived.
He professes to be able to tell who are
to be the winning candidates for every
office, and to write cards only for them,
and as he tells every candidate that he is
a winner, he is considered a sort of mas.
cot. and is patronized by all the candi
dates. His faculty for prophesying win
ning candidates Is only exceeded by his
penchant for misusing soap by drawing
Impossible bouquets on mirrors and win
dows. The number of persons who look
for little grafts at election times Is great;
but this old soap man Is the only ono
known of who preys on all the candidates
at all the elections on all the Coast, and
he thrives on it.
Bots" jlxd Girls' Aid Societt. The ISth
annual meeting and exercises of the Boys
and Girls' Aid Society will be held In the
Congregational Church, corner of Park
and Madison streets, next Tuesday even
ing. May 1, The chairman of the even
ing will be George H. Williams, and an
address will be delivered by A. A. Morri
son, rector of Trinity Church. Besides
the reports and addresses concerning the
work of the society, a first-class musical
programme has been arranged, among
others who are to appear being Mrs. Rose
Bloch Bauer, the Oregon quartet, Mrs.
Gus Kuhn. and a number of other well
known singers. There will be no charge
for admission, and no collection taken, the
object of the meeting being solely to bring
the work of the society before the public.
Sold the Steel. The tons of cast-steel
mentioned a few days ago as forming the
only available assets of the Snow & Ice
Transportation Company, which devised
the wild and Impracticable scheme of op
erating a railroad over snow and ice to
Klondike, have been sold. The steel has
been In warehouse here for some time,
with a freight bill hanging over It, and In
order to get this bill paid as far as pos
sible, the steel was sold at public auction,
and brought from Jl DO to $3 50 per ton.
which may be considered cheap for cast-
steel, when the present prices for Iron are
considered. The steel will probably be
shipped back to the East, where there are
furnaces which can utilize it, there being
nothing of the kind on this Coast.
Rushing afternoon Delivery. The
delivery of Eastern mall by carriers after
the arrival of the O. R. & N. fast train
at 4 P. M., Is giving great satisfaction to
the public. The postofflce officials are,
however, planning to do even better than
this. As the mall is bandied and dis
tributed on the train, it Is proposed to
have carriers' meet the train at the sta
tion, and start from there at once, to
distribute the mall of business houses
throughout the business district. In this
way It is thought 20 to 25 minutes' earlier
delivery of business mall can be secured,
and as the delivery Is near the close of
business hours, every minute will count
to business now.
Debate at the High School. Satur
day evening at 8 o'clock another Interest
ing debate will be held In Assembly Hall,
of the High School. The respective con
testants are the Columbian Society of
the Portland University and the High
School Debating Society. The subject se
lected Is, "Settlement of Labor Disputes,"
which possesses thought for many classes.
This debate promises oven greater Inter
est than that preceding, in which Puget
Sound competed for laurels. Tbe High
Softool alumni are expected to co-operate
with the present members of the school
in making the attendance large and ap
preciative of the effort at instruction and
entertainment.
Belgian Hares Extraordinart. Pro
fessor Washburn, of Eugene, owns two
hares which are among the very best In
the state, if not the best. They are from
the choicest and most expensive stock of
the Meadow Brook Belgian Hare Com
pany, in Los Angeles. Britain Prince
Imperial, whose official score Is 924, was
sired by the famous Lord Britain, out of
Beauty, of England. Princess Britain,
score 93"i. is a marvel of elegance. She
is out of Imported Helena, by Lord Brit
ain. Before being shipped to Eugene she
was bred to Lord Nason. score 96, the
highest scoring buck In America,
Silverware Identified. Some silver
ware spoken of In yesterday's Oregonlan
as having been found upon the person of
Harry Marlon, has been Identified by
Mrs. Robb, of the Occidental Hotel, us
having been stolen from her. Mrs. Robb
was not aware of her loss until she read of
the articles In the paper, when sho made
an Investigation. At the police station
she was permitted to peep at the prisoners,
and quickly Identified Marlon as a former
roomer in her house. This settled his
case, and a charge of larceny In a dwell
ing has been placed against him.
Commendatort Deed. Yesterday a very
good example was set by a Front-street
saloonman when a man came Into his
place and presented a check In payment
for a drink. The check was for $00. Tho
proprietor, knowing the circumstances of
the man's family, promptly paid the man
S3, and, walking home with the man.
handed his wife the balance, with tho ad
monition not to give her husband any of
it. If this example was followed or adopt
ed by more of the saloon-keepers of Port
land, there would be fewer destitute fatal,
lies In the city.

GAVE A FINE SHOW.
Judge Payne Compliments Portland
Kennel Clnb.
The following letter from H. T. Payne.
editor of Pastime. San Francisco, who
was Judge at the Portland bench show,
Is highly prized by the local members
of the Portland Kennel Club:
Portland, April 24. Mr. J. A, Taylor,
Secretary Portland Kennel Club, Dear
Sir:
Before leaving your city I wish to thank
you, and through you the officers and
members of the Portland Kennel Club,
and Its employes, for tbe many courtesies
shown while officiating as Judge at its
recent show. It has seldom been my
pleasure to witness a more successful
exhibition of our canine friends, or a
show conducted upon a broader plain of
true sportsmanship than that which has
characterized the first effort of your
young club. Whjle tbe work of the Judge
must always be attended with a knowl
edge that, whatever his awards may be.
they must of necessity carry with them
disappointment to some, it is gratifying
to me. and should be to the managers of
your show, to realize that however keen
that disappointment the awards were ac
cepted with tho true spirit of the sports
man, and the owner of the successful
dog was heartily congratulated by his
less fortunate opponent.
A first show Is generally attended with
many errors and considerable friction: but
your Inaugural effort, I am pleased to
note, was singularly free from these an
noyances, and I do not hesitate to say,
that, taken as a whole. In the number of
entries, the generous yet business-like
management and the almost universal In
terest It succeeded In creating In the
hearts of your citizens. It stands without
an equal In my experience.
The quality of your dogs In many class
es was of the highest especially so with
your English and Irish setters, and your
pointers. These, by the enthusiasm of
your sportsmen, have been kept up to a
high standard, while the lack of that
Incentive which bench shows furnish has
left the admirers of the non-sporting
section without a definitely fixed purpose
In breeding or purchasing. This your an.
nual shows will soon correct, and the
high quality found upon the sporting
benches will be equaled by that of the
others. Future shows will also bring to
your benches a larger number of better
conditioned dogs less gross In flesh and
better cared for In coats which will tend
to a more perfect Judgment, and more
even Justice to all exhibits.
Again thanking you for the many kind
nesses shown, and congratulating the
club, its officers and the City of Portland
on the splendid success of your inaugu
ral show. I am, very respectfully.

OLDEST COIN ON EARTH
CHICAGO MATf, 'WILL IIAVE IT TO
DAY IK PORTLAND.
Good Ground for Believing- It "Was
Handled by Kins; Solomon It
Has Priceless Value.
H. Gottschalk. a traveling man of Chi
cago. who is now at The Portland, Is tha
possessor of what he claims to be the
oldest coin on earth. He has excellent
grounds for his claim, and tells a story
in connection therewith which Is both In
teresting and convincing.
This coin is called by Its owner a holy
shekel, such as was used In the temple
at Jerusalem as a token. Mr. Gottschalk
thinks It was never used for profane pur-
Shekel-IIa-KandlahJe-ru-shal-a-ylm
(Holy shekel) (Jerusalem)
poses, and was only handled by the priests
and men In high authority In the temple.
Ho expresses the belief that this particu
lar coin was handled by King Solomon,
and there are marks on It which strength
en this opinion.
The coin is little larger than a 25-cent
piece, but Is thicker. The body of It Is 70
per cent, gold and 30 per cent, bronze.
The lettering and figures on It are of pure
gold. This Is a feature about It which
has puzzled all scientists who have ex
amined It. They cannot guess, even, how
a solid coin was cast with the lettering
differing In degree of fineness from the
body of the coin. Tiffany, of New York.
Is responsible for the accuracy of the
statement concerning this difference, and
Tiffany Is good authority. He says that
this piece of moneyls worth in gold $3 70.
Its owner says that no man In this coun
try has money enough to buy It.
The lettering on this shekel Is the an
cient Hebrew. On one side are the words:
"Shekel-ha-Kandlsh" (Holy Temple). On
the other side Is the word: "Jaru-shal-a-ylm"
(Jerusalem). In the center Is a rep
resentation of the ancient star of Beth
lehem, and Inside this star are very small
hieroglyphics which have never been in
terpreted. There are other marks on
the coin which only high degree Masons
recognize. This leads its owner to the
belief that Solomon probably handled the
coin.
It Is evident that only a few of them
were made, as there Is only ono other
like It now In existence. That Is ownod
by the British Museum, where It has
been for 900 years.
From 1S7S to 1SS2 Mr. Gottschalk was a
member of a committee In New York
which was engaged in raising funds for
the persecuted Jews In Roumanla. While
on a trip to Europe he met Dr. Leopold
Klein, chief rabbi of Berlin, who owned
this wonderful pleco of money. He had
came Into possession of It years before
and could trace It back to Bucharest. Rou
manla. where, as far back as 1450, It had
been in the hands of holy men of that
place. Dr. Klein owned other valuable
relics which had came to him with the
coin.
In 1SS1 Dr. Klein died, and bequeathed
the collection to Mr. Gottschalk. on con
dition that the coin should never pass out
of his family.
Mr. Gottschalk has been offered some
fabulous sums for the shekel, but de
clines to entertain any offers. Mrs. Phoe
be Hearst, the Lcrlllards and several oth
ers have offered him small fortunes for
it. Coin collectors have also made sev
eral attempts to gain possession of It.
Its owner guards It with Jealous care.
He has It Insured for $20,000. and never
carries it on his person for any length
of time.
This coin was on exhibition at the
World's Fair, where M. H. Do Young, of
San Francisco, became greatly Interested
In Its history. Thousands of people saw
It there.
Mr. Gottschalk Is the Western repre
tentative of some large glove manufac
turers and comes to the Coast twice a
year. He brought his valuable coin with
him on this trip to show to n few of his
friends. By request he has agreed to show
It to any scientific men or ministers of
the Gospel who will call at The Portland
today. He will leave tonight,
