"He (Agulnaldo)," says the Worcester statesman, "deserves' to be remembered with that small hand who have given life, and everything dearer than life, to their country In a losing cause. He shall live with Kossuth, with Oom Paul, with Jou fcert, with Emmet, with Egmont and Horn, with Nathan Hale, with Warren, with all the great martyrs of history." This Is a remarkable enumeration of heroes. Some of them died for a lost cause and others for a winning one. Some 'of them did not die for any "cause." Nathan Hale was a fine 'type of patriot, but he suffered for what proved a triumphant struggle, and if he had possessed one-half the elusive ability of the Filipino ler.der he might have lived to a green old age Major Andre was a martyr to what Mr. Hoar calji a "losing cause"; and there are those who think the name of the Worces ter publicist might be added to the list Estty Organs. Wiley B. Allen Co. A SUCCESSFUL CONCERT SYMPIIOXY ORCHESTIIA SHOWS III FltOVEMEXT IX ITS "WORK. Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony" Rendered With Fine Effect Mine. XorelU Warmly "Received. The usual fashlonab' and critical audi ence filled the Marquam last evening for the regular Symphony concert. The work of the orchestra showed the same earnest ness of purpose that has characterized it on previous occasions-, together with steady Improvement In Uie crescendos. rol lentandos and all the thousand and one nuances that give color and character to a composition. That the orchestra Is do ing remarkably strong work for so young nn organization must be acknowledged by' alL There Is a decided gain In precision and RAISED TO fife m , b f$ r I' III !J mM4m RIGHT ItEVEBEXD F. X. BLAXCIIET. Went Rev. F. X. Blanche, of this city, has been, elevated to the rank of prelate by ths Pope. This elevation mikes Father Blancht an honorary member of the College of Pre lates, in Rome. There are only 12 active members of this college. Their duties are to Esther documentary evidence concerning candidates for canonization. Tho title conferred by the Pope Is "Monslgnor, and Is one of great honor. Archbishop Christie received the apostolic brief naming Father Blanchet Apostolic Pro tonotary last Monday, through Monslgnor MartlnellL Father Blanche, however, has not yet been apprised of the honor conferred upon him. At present he Is traveling in Europe, and when last heard from by hls;frlends here, he was In Southern France. He went abroad last BJptember. going direct to Rome, where he spent two months. He was there at the opening of the Holy. Door In December! Since leaving Rome he has been visiting various points of Interest in Europe, and Is not expected home until the latter part of Jane. Upon his arrival here he wljl be presented with tho papal brief, notifying him of the honor which tha Pope has conferred upon him In recognition of his pait services. While the elevation Is mainly an honorary one, his friends here were greatly rejoiced upon learning of It. They declare it was Justly merited by Father Ulancbet. He has been Identified with the work In Oregon since 1S58. He came hero from Quebec in that year. Th first 20 years of his ministry on the Coast were In Southern Oregon. Ills headquarters were at Jacksonville, where he has many friends. Prior to leaving here last Fall. Father Blanchet was chaplain at Br, Vincent's Hospital. He Is now about G2 years old. and Is one of the most faithful and beloved workers of the church. unanimity of attack and phrasing. Occa etlonally. however, the tempo seems to run away with the orchestra, the result of a disposition on the part of the flrtt violin to lead In place of the conductor. When this defect is corrected there will be a conspicuous Improvement In the ensemble. There Is nearly always an Inclination to do this on the part of first violins, and it Is a fault that proceeds. In many cases, from overconsclcntlousr.ess and an exag gerated sense of responsibility. Tho "Unfinished Symphony" of Schubert was much more enjoyable than on the first occasion when It was given by the orchestra several months ago. There Is, perhaps, no more beautiful melody In all music than the theme which plays hide and seek through the two movements, the allegro and andante, of this symphony. It Is a melody that haunts ono and returns unbidden at odd moments for many days after It has been heard. The many charm ing surprise in the way of shifting keje and enchanting modulations that consti tute the special characteristic of this sym phony, were effectively bandied by the orchestra. The programme as a whole was an ex ceedingly Interesting one, embracing num bers by Wagner, Strauss, NIcoIal and Gll let, a varied aesoitment certainly. The "Pilgrim's Chorus," from "Tannhauser," as usual, was received with marked fa vor by the audience, as was also the Pad erewskl minuet that followed it as an en core. The latter was given with much piquant grace and fine appreciatlun oi deli cate touches of light and shade. It was, indeed, the best work of the evening; the crescendos were worked up with charming effect, and the pause for the trilling mel ody of the feute, with Its last, long-drawn note taken up by the entire orchestra piannlsslmo, was an artistic bit of work that would do credit to a much older and more experienced "orchestra. Either for this reason or because this number recalled the compelling power of Paderewkl's genius, so lately with us, it was demand ed a' second time, making a double en core. The Nlcolal overture to the "Merry Wives of Windsor." a bright, spirited thing, was given with equally good effect, constituting It one of the most successful features of the programme. Mme. Norelll Is always received with warm enthusiasm by a Portland audience., both on account of her winning person ality and the mellow sweetness of her voice. Her singing of the mad scene from "Lucia dl Lammermoor" showed to ex cellent advantage her admirable method of voice production, and brought her a hearty recall. Although che seemed a bit nervous, an unusual occurrence with her. this did not Interfere seriously with hot control over her voice, which was quite as true, as flexible and as full of melting beauty as usual. Charles L. Brown, the conductor, put his usual ardor and earnestness Into his work with the baton. To his untiring energy, more than to all beside, the success of last night's concert was due. NEWBERG'S SUGAR FACTORY Solicitors Belnir Pat to "Work to Get Contracts With Farmers. Jesse Edwards, of Newberg. arrived here yesterday. He came here on a busi ness matter, in which farmers are par ticularly Interested. Mr. Edwards Is the president of the Newberg Development Company, of which F. A, Morris, of New berg, Is the secretary. Mr. Edwards stat ed yesterday that his object In visiting Portland at this time was to obtain cer tain contracts to secure acreage for sugar beet growing. "The Newberg Develop ment Company," said he. "is one Intended to foster various enterprises. We are now furthering the Interests of the Willam ette Beet Sugar Company, of which D. Soils Cohen, of your city. Is the attorney. This latter company Is made up. to some extent, of capitalists from Dayton. O., and other Eastern cities. There will also bo 50,000 of Portland capital Invested in the enterprise. The company proposes to locate at Newberg, provided the people there will donate a site of 50 acres for the erection of a sugar factory. We expect to secure contracts for 5G00 acres, to be devoted to sugar-beet raising. We have obtained contracts for more than 1000 acres already. Most of the parties subscribed at j a rates Eeetrmj held at Newbcrg about I two weeks ago, and the remainder since t that time. I "W-e expect to place solicitors In the field at onco to secure the remainder of J the acreage necessary." , The terms of the contracts to be made with tho farmers about Newberg provide ' that they shall ptant. cultivate and har vest for five seasons from 1901 to 19U5. Inclusive a specified number of acres of sugar beets. The company agrees to sup ply them the seed therefor, at 15 cents per nound Th fnrrt-f 1. tn pr that he I will deliver all beets grown therefrom at tho factory, at Ncwberg. at the time agreed upon. In a marketable condition, ar.d receive 14 per ton therefor. The beets must contain not less than 12 per cent nor more than 14 per cent sugar to the weight of beet, with a purity coefficient of 90 per cent. The company will pay 25 cents per ton additional for beets testing 14 per cent sugar, with a coefficient of SO per cent, nr.d 25 cents per ton additional for every 2 per cent in excess of 14 per cent sugar, the price In no case to "exceed 35 per ton. For nil beets testing less than 12 per cent, 33 75 per ton will be paid for tests A PRELATE. of more than 11 per cent, and $3 50 per ton for tests less than 11 per cent. It Is very likely, Mr. Edwards believes, that the farmers In his vicinity will lend their hearty co-operation. Tho results of tho sugar-beet Industry, as exemplified at La Grande, are sufficiently convincing. He believes that what has been proven a success at La Grande will prove equally so at Newberg, and that In the growing of sugar-beets the farmers will have an ad ditional source of revenue. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "West Minstrels Tonight. A great treat Is In store for all lovers of mirth, music and song at the Marquam tonight, tomorrow matinee and evening, when William H. West's big minstrel Ju bilee will play a special engagement In this city. This popular minstrel is meet ing with great success upon his Western tour, being everywhere greeted by crowd ed houses. Minstrelsy was born under the fold of our starry banner, and since Its earliest days has held a steady place of affection In the public .estimation. Minstrelsy Is In tensely American, because It Is honest and absolutely clean. "Billy" West has al ways stood at the head of his class. He has been ready to understand the pro gressive spirit of the times; he has been quick to appreciate the changes In taste. He Is called the progressive minstrel, yet It Is only the progressive that survive. He has enrolled under the banner bearing his name many famous burnt-cork come dians, a lot of noted singers and some ex ceptional specialty- performers. Of tho long list of celebrities, the names that stand out most prominently are: Carroll Johnson. Richard J. Jose. Fred Warren, the Luken brothers, the Waterbury broth ers and Tenny. the three Marvelles. Tom my Hayes and David Meier. A special feature new to minstrelsy Is the brilliant spectacular representation of the storming of San Juan Hill, with the scnsntlonal charge of the famous Rough Riders. Next Attrnctlon nt Cordrny's. Beautiful and homely, true to the "Knobs o' Tennessee," Is the Interesting story told by Robert Uermalne. and a carefully selected company, to be seen at Cordrny's next week. It tells of the con flict between moonshiners and secret eerv Ice men. of the unrelenting love of a rich man's daughter for a mountaineer and of the villainy of one of these secret service men. together with two or three other un dercurrents neatly woven and warped Into the story. Love and freedom and the mountains are strongly displayed. The correct dialect of these Southern chil dren of nature adds Interest to the produc tion. There are numerous strong scenes in the play, and the pleadings of old man 'Llge Preston for his wife and son. who have been conlcted of moonshlnlng, touches the hearts of all when he Is pic tured before President McKInley making an unusual request, This Is the "Way to Work. Drain Watchman. Eugene and Roseburg have organized creameries, with ample capital, and man agement that Insures success. Wells. Fargo & Co. have lately put Into effect an extremely low rate, under which a five-gallon can of cream can be shipped to Eugene for 11 cents, and the empty can returned without extra charge. The daily express at 11:25 A. M. and 3:46 P. M. offer exceptional facilities for delivering cream at Eugene or Roseburg. Why not take oome action looking to the establishment of a skimming station here, and thus prom by the enterprise of our neighboring cities?

Yesterday was the second day of the tournament of the Pacific Northwest Golf Association. There were no visible signs of the Interest abating. On the con trary, the increased attendance and en thusiastic playing showed that the lovers of the game were warming up to tho proper pitch. Early in the morning tho players began to gather. The early cars from the city brought loads of pazsengers, who alighted at the links. Many of them began at once to get In condition to use a club and drive a balL The caddies had all heard of the great games scheduled for the week, and they were there early in the day, in full force. Each apparently was ready to work throughout the day. The more energetic "rustled" for business, while the timid ones If there Is such a thing as a timid caddie depended upon their more lively friends to procure engagements for them. Each one of them was loaded with the latest golf lingo. This they used freely among themselves, but they were as po Hto and correct In speech when among the golfers as they knew how to be. In Gay Attire. The golf suits were a study. The ap parel of the men was especially gay. Some wore red vests wtth checked trous ers; others had on blue sweaters, with many-colored streaks and stripes "acrofs them, while odd-shaped hats and oM- fsehloned shoes were in evidence. The women had chosen less variegated cos tumes: most of them wore plain white sweaters, plain walking skirts and hats or caps to suit the weather. The weather started off more favor ably In tho morning, but by noon the wind from the river was very cold. There was no rain, however, until the after noon. When It did begin to fall, few of the players paid any attention to it Some raised umbrellas, but the majority of them played right on. Just as if the sun was shining. Charles E. Ladd proved that he was a genuine Oregonlan by refusing to take shelter when It rained, while Allan Wright, of the Portland, reached for his umbrella, thereby creating the impression that he grew on "foreign" soIL Some of the spectators followed the players throughout the morning games. They preferred to rest Jn the afternoon, for an Industrious player can cover three or four miles In going over the entire course at the Riverside links. Even the caddies walked limp and lame returning from a game. Men's Championship. At 93) the second round of the men's open championship began, with 16 en tries. Each contestant was seemingly de termined to win, for those who were beaten yesterday will not be In the game today. This contest did not end until after 1 o'clock. The last two or three In won by only one hole. The results folIor: Reed vs. Ladd; won by Ladd. Ayer vs. BIyth; won by Ayer. Taylor vs. Young; won by Young; Kerr vs. Wheeler; won by Wheeler. Adams vs. Williams; won by Williams. Mocmaster vs. Lewis; won by Lewis. Bourne vs..Glfford; won by Glfford. GUllson vs. Goldfinch; won by Gold finch. The Women's Championship. The second round of the women's open championship was perhaps the closest contest of the day. Many of the players were almost evenly matched, and their work was exciting throughout the game. The results follow: Mks King vs. Miss Hardle; won by Miss King. Miss Flanders vs. Miss SIbson; won by Miss Flanders. Mrs. Anderson vs. Mrs. Wilcox; won by Mrs. Anderson. Miss Kershaw vs. Mrs. W. B. Ayer; won by Mrs. Ayer. Mrs. II. C. WHson vs. Mrs. Burton; won by Mrp. Burton. Miss Sallle Lewis; a bye. As fast as the players finished, they hurried to the clubhouse to escape the cold wind. There they found lunch await ing them, for Mr. Sargent, steward of the Arlington Club, was on hand again with baskets and boxes of good things to eat. The Afternoon. While the players and their friends were refreshing themselves, the handicap com mittee was busy arranging for the men's and the women's foursomes. These con tests began soon after lunch. The men were first to go on the links. There were IS pairs of them, all fairly evenly matched. It was late In the afternoon before all of the score-cards had been handed In. The score was as follows: PLAYERS. 52?! ? : ? : : Wheeler and Whidden, 10S 15 92 BIyth and Goldfinch S3 5 34 Gilford and Kerr 107 8 9 Adams and Gllllson Ill 11 100 Ladd and MHls 118 IS 100 D. C.

It did not take the women as long as the men to finish, though their playing was equally as good. The approaching rain, perhaps, made them hurry along mora than It did the men. Their score-cards, when footed up, showed the following re sults: P o o PLAYERS. i?-S : Ti? Mrs. Koehler Mrs. A. Lewis Miss Heltshu Miss King Mrs. Anderson Miss Hurley. Mrs. M. B.

Men's and Women's Approach. The men's and women's approaching contest was late beginning, owing to the fact that many of the men were on the links contesting In the foursomes until a late hour. The approaching contest was won by J. D. Wilcox on nearest balls, and by A. H. Goldfinch on best average. Patting; Contest. This contest was won by Miss King. with a score of 10 out of a possible 20.

General Freight and Passenger Agent Markham, of the Southern Pacific, was forcibly reminded Wednesday that E. N. Baker, alias "Holy Moses" Baker, Is still at work. It will be remembered that March 21, The Oregonlan exposed Baker's swindling operations. He pretends to maintain headquarters In Portland. He has heretofore secured subscriptions from numerous victims on an alleged work. "The Pacific Northwest," which he repre sented that the Southern Pacific people are financially backing. Since the com pany has so vigorously denied this, he has changed his tactics. He now announces that all the "principal transportation companies" are abetting his swindling en terprises. Wednesday M. D. Wisdom, of the Rural Spirit, of Portland, called upon Mr. Mark ham, with a letter from Joseph Morzen. of the Humboldt Stock Farm, at Love lock. Nev.
