THT MOKNING OBEGONIAtf, WEDNESDAY, MAT 9, 1900. :iTY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusement Tcmltkt. CORDRAYS THEATER (Washington st) "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Intended as a Satire, It Is leanie Ithat the petition presented by a number jf merchants on Front street, at tne last jeetlng of the Common Council, asking for E permission to hang banners, advertising their business, across Front street, was iot a bona fide request for such privileges. Ibut -was intended as a joke- One large anner of the kind has been euspended across Front street at Madison, without ermission, and as others -were contem- Iplatlng putting up such banners, the pe- Itition was gotten up as a 30Ke on tne Council, in hope that the matter would be (Investigated, and tne street cleared of juch unslgnuy nisances, "wnicn, as an interested person observed, "make the city look like a jay town." Some of the 3uncilmen, who were disgusted with the petition, were inclined to grant it, in hope that more such applications would be sent in and granted until the whole city be came canopied with banners and a tidal wave of protest would result, which would clear them all away. There has been a tidal wave of this kind, as Is shown by the ordinance on the books forbidding the langing of such banners across the streets. IfJUt there is no hope of Its being enforced mnm alter election, at least. Acrcvrrr in Potatoes. Front street is thronged daily now with farmers bringing It market the residue of their crop of po tatoes. .Dealers having succeeded in get ting this tidal wave of potatoes started, ire now taking things easy, and are not jveranxlous to buy, and would like to pull 3own the price a little if possible. ' They say that over 7000 sacks of potatoes went Jown on the steamer before the last, and CG5 sacks on the last steamer, and this ill be about enough to supply the San rranclsco demand for this season. They ire, however, paying 60 cents, and for ihoice C3 cents per sack, as the Alaska prade Is yet to be supplied, and it will be 3ome time before new potatoes will be fit to dig at Cape Nome. Farmers who sold lelr potatoes as soon as they were dug lid about the best of alL One man said yesterday that he raised 90 acres of po- ltoes last season, and sold them in the ield for C8 cents per sack, and they cost ilm 35 cents a sack, placed on the cars. It is not thus every year, but, taking one rear with another, there Is nothing which ?ays the farmer better than raising po tatoes. iWill Pult, for Portuind. The Port land delegation of commercial travelers. Comprising Alexander Kunz, A. H. Devers jind A. N. Smith, who will participate in Ihe convention of the National Travelers' I?rotectlve Association, at New Orleans, Mil strongly endeavor to secure the con tention for this city In 1901. The annual jathering of the drummers represents 500 000 men, who come from the principal :Itles in the Union. They are identified rith the leading business and manufactur ing concerns, and besides being an ex tremely jolly, entertaining lot, are men of superior intelligence, and keen observa tion. Their combined visit here would cer- ilnly result to the benefit of Portland. rhe delegation will depart for New Or leans the middle of next week. Frank ing was to have been one of the num- aer. but owing to the 111 health of his rife he will probably not attend, and some one else will be selected in his place. Seized Tobacco Released. The Cream Ot North Carolina tobacco seized by the iternal Revenue officer a few days back sras released yesterday on orders from iTashington. The reason for the seizure i as for alleged overweight of the pack- lges, thus defrauding the Government out if the stamp tax. Sponger Bros., the lanufacturera, of Mount Airy, N. C, sent telegram to their gents hero to the 3ffect that the matter had been settled rlth the Government officials, and that the tobacco would be released during the Jay, which was accordingly done. Tho urobable facts In the case are that some if the women packers had become care less, and put in a little extra tobacco. Lt is not generally known that every pack- je, no matter if it retail for but 5 cents. lust be filled only with separately weighed tobacco, and one-tenth of an ounce over weight constitutes a revenue offense. Touno Girl Missing. The police are looking for the Kessler girl, who has been llsslng from her home for over two weeks. She was living with her family In the Cellogg House, on Sherman street, .near ant, and there Ib no known cause for ier leaving. She is 14 years of age, and rhen last seen had on a black skirt. jrown waist, and a white straw hat. A lescrlptlon of her says she weighs about pounds, and measures five feet, four or Jve inches. She has red hair and gray Syes. Any one seeing her -will confer a cavor by Informing the Portland Police )epartment. j Neither Knew Nor Cared. The law ralks was violated yesterday In a flagrant inanner by a very tall, slim and stern- looklng woman, who had arrived at years 3f discretion. She rode down the 6lde- ivalk on the east side of Seventh street ith a "wha-daur-meddle-wl'-me" air luslng several other women and a num- er of men to skip out of her way. She say not have known that the season for riding bicycles on the sidewalks is past; jut if she did know she did not care a (button. Such incidents as this are what lake men long for women to get their ights. Harrington Camp. A ladles' auxiliary Harrington Camp, of tho Spanish and Illplno "War Association will be organ ized at the regular meeting of the camp tonignt, at AHsky Hall, cornerof .Third ind Morrison. This Is the last camn nf ttihe Oregon Volunteers to organize this .ery desirable auxiliary. Every member 3f the camp is earnestly requested to be Drcsent, and bring one or more eligible A-omen for membership. A cordial lnvl- ition is given to the wives, mothers. laughters and other female relatives of my soldier of the late war to be present ind Join the association. Plate Glass Smashed. A sheet of plate glass in the window of the store on Morrison street lately occupied by L. layer, was broken in some mysterious inanner yesterday morning None of the len employed in remodeling the store lew how the accident happened, but the contractor had an idea that the damage i as done by a ladder, which hangs on a jole in front of the window. Just how khe ladder got off Its hook and through the window and then back on the hook Is itfflcult to imagine, but the facts will probably come to light soon. Shad Plentiful and Cheap. Shad continue to arrive from the selnlntr- rrounds down the Columbia, in large num bers, and they go off like hotcakes at 10 15 cents each. One day In the week lone arr.ve. tho whole catch being devoted suppjlng the logging camps at Oak Point and thereabouts. The brawny log- jers greatly relish a dish of fine fat shad Cor breakfast, once a week or so. and as there are several hundred of them em ployed In that vicinity, it takes a whole Bot of shad to go 'round.

Hilda Hobson. the Second, arrived in Portland yesterday morning, but stayed In the city less than 12 hours, leaving, as she did, on an evening train by request of the Chief of Police.. Miss Lizzie Smith, for that is what she styles herself, looks very much like Hilda, and was generally taken for the young woman who made her debut in this city about two months ago, and who left liere without waiting -for a railroad train. She is of about the. same stature, dresses similarly, and looks very much like her in the face, but Chief Mc Laughlan, who was ensnared in the first invalid's game, says there is no doubt that she Is a different person. Like the one that preceded her, Miss Smith uses a crutch, but it is probably on account of a real affliction with her, while It was only a sham with Tier predecessor. Her manner of procedure is not a new one. In a skillful way she lets ner victim know of her infirmity, and then requests him to purchase a copy of her song, en titled: "An Unfortunate Girl's Life." This generally has the desired effect, oftentimes receiving several times the price of the song, and the return of the piece also A pathetic fairy tale of an effort to secure funds to take her through business col lege Is a part of her act She did not work ner graft In Portland, however, as she was in custody nearly all the time. Just where Miss Smith halls from Is not certain, but for the last few days Tho Oregonlan has been publishing news con cerning her, the correspondents believing she was the original Hilda. The first news of her .doings came from the country ad jacent to Eugene. She then traveled down the Valley, and afterward crossed the river and finally canvassed Hlllsboro be fore coming to Portland. She Is thought to have gone empty-handed in most places, as the reputation of the Irrepres sible Hilda had gone before her. Soma towns, though, contributed liberally to wards Miss Smith's education, and, In re turn for their charity, the young woman could advertise them among the rest of the colony on crutches, whom no doubt they will be delighted to receive within their limits.

The saje of seats for the "Ward and Vokes engagement at the Marquam Grand opened yesterday morning, and from the present indications the Marquam will be crowded tomorrow and Friday nights. It is seldom that a musical farce production receives the efforts of more than 20 peo ple, so there Is considerable to heed In tho assurance that Ward and Vokes are supported by double that number in "The Floor-Walkers," which they will present. These reliable comedians seem, each year, to rival their past offerings In their at tempts to maintain the high standard of their entertainment, and lt Is gratifying to know that their efforts to present an entertainment of quality are appreciated, for it is said that their business with "The Floor-Walkers" Is away ahead of their usual "high-water" mark every where. "The MaItrnte', at Cordray's. A complete change from old-time melo drama to society comedy will be given by the L. R. Stockwell company next week at Cordrays. On Sunday evening next Mr. Stockwell will appear as Mr. Posket In "The Magistrate," a comedy by A. W. Plnero, whose name guarantees that the comedy is one full of most amusing situ ations, bright and witty dialogue, well drawn character sketches and clever plot. About four years ago Mr. Stockwell presented this play in Portland with Rose Coghlan. and was greeted by large and delighted audiences. The comedy will be handsomely staged and the ladles will wear some stunning gowns. WHERE TO DINE. Delicious coffee, tender, juicy steaks, with tempting side dishes.

IT RESTS WITH WHEELMEN SHALL MULTX03IAH COUXTV HAVE MORE PATHS t By General Consent, Bicycle Tnx Is Evaded The Bulldlne of Paths Mast Stop. More bicycle paths are open to the wheelmen of Portland this fapring than ever before, It Is not generally known that approximately SO miles of paths have been made by the County Commissioners for the Increasing numbers of bicycle riders. This represents nearly one year's work, carried on by means of one year's tax. Prior to commencement of activi ties less than a year ago, the paths avail able for wheelmen were few. Payment by most of tho wheelmen of the $1 'JS tax created a fund that has opened up the pretty suburban retreats, making a de lightful spin of the short distance Inter vening the city and woodland freshness. At the present time construction of paths has about reached the limit, un less another fund Is created. Last year's tax, which was not paid by all the wheel men. Is the only means used for construc tion work, as there seems to have been a sort of simultaneous understanding among wheelmen that they would not pay this year. Very little money has been received at the Sheriff's office for 1900 taxes, and so rare are 1900 tags that they are actual curiosities. Why this sudden change in sentiment of wheelmen Is not explained. They were quite enthusiastic immediately after enactment of the law providing for collection of the tax. Most of them, instead of seeking to evade the law, felt a personal Interest In seeing it enforced, and this spirit made the task of collection Insignificant. This year it is the common remark that one will not pay for tho license, because others are not paying. The only result will be that construction work will shortly cease. A recapitulation of the new paths will be of interest, although The Oregonlan published a map of those completed up to a month and a half ago. One of the most needed paths, owing to tho condi tion of the roads, was towards St. Hel ens. The Commissioners now have com pleted a good eight-foot path, well grav eled and rolled, as far down as the Seven-mile post, which places a long stretch of the country on the west side of the river to the north tributary to bicyclists. Perhaps the most picturesque path winds along the banks of tho Willamette to St. Johns. This is known as the Willamette Boulevard path, taking its name from that well-known driveway. This is also eight feet in width, graveled and rolled. and terminates at Cedar Park in Si. Johns, where the fresh ocean breezes wandering up the Columbia on warm Summer days, land. In point of shade and rugged grandeur, this path may fall short of others, especially that following the Macadam road, but for sightliness and 'beautiful views of distant mountains, the Willamette Boulevard must become popu lar. There Is a mile and a half connec tion between this path and the Vancou ver path, known as the Portland Boule vard. This Is also a single, wide path, and enables one riding out either the Vancouver or Willamette Boulevard paths, to run over the other without skirmishing through the brush and over rough ground. Tho ling path will be out the Base Line road. Tho splendid condition in which this road was kept for the past few years has made the Base Line a familiar bicycle way. and any rider that ventures beyond the city limits has enjoyed the long reach es of almost level track. New there is an excellent four-foot path on either side of the road from Thirty-fourth street to the Seven-mile post, and several teams are pushing grading work on the distance between there and the Twelve-mllo house. Along the Base Line tho two paths serve all the conveniences of ono wide path. There is a. path three miles in length extending from the structure known as Multnomah hall, on the Section Line road. down the Clackamas road to tho Clacka mas County line. This is a single narrow path, well graveled and rolled, ana taps a part of the country heretofore not often penetrated by large numbers of bicyclists. Another path, two miles in length, ex tends from the Section Line road into Woodstock. Four miles havo been con structed and repaired down tho White- house road. Since Inauguration of the bicycle tax there has been a constant controversy as to the place whero the money should be expended. One element of tho riders wanted to Toe enabled to reach tho coun try, where they could enjoy the beauties of nature. Another thought construction of bicycle paths in the city, whero streets were a torture for wheelmen, would be a better plan. The Commissioners have sought to act according to the wishes of tho majority, so far as expression could be determined upon, and heretofore no effort has been made to work along improved streets. It is estimated that the money necessary to construct one block of bi cycle path along an Improved street will pay for construction of a mile and a half in ordinary country conditions. Then, too. there has been no definite plans suggested for paths along streets that seems prac ticable or would likely be approved by all persons using1 the street. It seems the general idea of those who have thought the matter over, is that the curb should be extended sufficient for a good path. There are countless objections to thls.It would narrow the street very much, would likely be driven upon If not pro tected by a high curb, would make the streets more unsightly and would add to the difficulties of cleaning and repairing Another idea suggested was to lay n plank path over tho gutter. A second thought suffices to depict tho very unsatisfactory condition of gutters if they were housed over In this manner with boards con stantly dampened and obstructing the passage of refuse. And not tho least ob jection advanced to these Ideas. Is the cast of constructing durable paths in the city. If such a plan is to be followed there will have to be redoubled enthus iasm among wheelmen, and, perhaps val id penal laws for non-payment of lhe tax, and patrons will have to wait much longer for results than In the case of country paths. Anent this question, as well as others, it has been suggested that valuable aid would be rendered the Commissioners if tho wheelmen were united in an asso ciation, such, as existed two and three years ago. In which all these problems could be discussed. As at present, lt Is nearly Impossible for the Commissioners to know what a majority of wheelmen think of a proposed action. A few of the more energetic riders volunteer to express their views, but no one knows how gen erally they are approved. The tax Is Im posed o bicyclists and tho bicyclists should havo a hearing In expenditures. Pedestrians nor drivers of vehicles alone are taxed for the construction of the avenues and walks used 'by them. Peo ple axe taxed to support theso wnotnrr they walk or drive. The prejudice and feeling against bicycles that places these very convenient machines beyond the pale of ordinary rules has ho far decreed that if the bumps of wretched roads are to be made passable to wheelmen tho bi cyclists themselves shall bear the ex pense. Recognizing this sole right of bi cyclists to their license fund, the Com missioners have expressed themselves as willing to conform to the wishes of the majority of wheelmen. And If lt Is the wishes of a majority of the wheelmen In Portland that the license for this year be devoted to constructing paths inside the city limits, it will be done. If wheelmen will consider the vast Im provement made in one year, lt Is thought they will not hesitate to continue the bicycle tax willingly for two or three years more. Two more years like the one past would give to Multnomah Coun ty a system of paths unexcelled anywhere Fine New Webers We have Just now the most complete assortment of Weber pianos we have ever had. Some special designs in fancy mahogany, and mottled English walnut cases, the handsomest ever displayed in the West. Prices? Well, they're not any higher than what Is usually asked for common pianos. The Weber Is the, daintiest and most durable of the very few fine artistic pianos made East. 107 FIRST STREET All the money, practically, raised by this tax, could be devoted to construction work, as but little more than nothing is required for repair. A properly con structed bicycle path, -used only for bi cycles, will last Indefinitely. In fact, age makes such a path better. If one will ride over that portion of tho Whltehouse road constructed one and two years ago, he will notice that lt has become Arm as asphalt. Wheels do not make ruts nor tend to wear depressions. There Is hardly any wear. Two more years of construc tion work equal to the last would open every retreat anywhere near Portland to riders of bicycles, and give to residents of the city a healthful pleasure probably unsurpassed by anything fifee found hero. Commissioner Steele, who as personally superintended path construction, believes that payment of the bicycle tax for two moro years would raise a fund sufficient to band this entire district with fine paths. It rests with the wheelmen whether tho tax shall be paid and the work contlr ted. FEDERATION MEETING. Oregon Clubwomen to Convene at Pendleton, Hay 31.

Medical men have pointed out that man is probably the only animal that drinks while eating, showing how the laws of nature, which are instlncUvely obeyed by man's Inferior, are calmly Ignored by him. They recommend discrimination If ono must drink while eating, and say that neither Hooding the stomach with hydrant water nor absorbing medicinal waters at the table, under the pretense that they are goqd for this or that ailment, is very judicious. On the other bond, they remark that a natural effervescent water such as Apolll narls, a dietetic table water, can advan tageously be drunk at meals, as it pro motes digestion, and the danger of dilut ing the food with an Inordinate volume of water Is avoided, because an ordinary amount of effervescent water Is as satis factory to the thirst as a much larger quantity of still water.
