whom there were three bishops present members of their flocks and friends was
and more than a score of prominent
clergy of the Catholic Church, including
Rev. Father P. C. Yorke, of San Fran
cisco. The occasion was unique in Port
land, as never before did the Apostolic
Delegate bid the graduates of an Oregon ,
school God-speed. It marked an epoch of
Increased enthusiasm in the educational
work of the church.
The Sisters had arranged a very pretty
programme, which was well carried out.
It Illustrated the culture given to girl3
in the school, as well as a degree of train
ing rare among children of all ages. The
entire school, attired in pure white with
big yellow bows, was arranged in the St.
Mary's College hall, across the street
from the main building. Tier after tier of
the pretty children, so daintily dressed
and neat In appearance, gave the end of
the hall a very animated and cheerful
aspect. In the first row of seats helow
sat the Papal Delegate, with Archbishop
Christie on his right and Bishop Gloo
leux on his left, while the remainder of
the clergy came in order. Among the
visitors were Mayor Storey, Dr. A- C.
Smith and J. P. Cavanaugh. Guests
packed the remainder of the hall to the
doors, most of whom were relatives of
the children. Mother John Baptist, Pro
vincial Superior: Sister Mary Justina,
Local Superior; Slater Mary Flavla, Prin
cipal, and Sister Mary Leocadia, Treasur
er of the college, sat at the right.
The programme consisted of a song by
the school, followed by an overture. Opus
44. Kalllwoda, by eight young women,
playing In concert on four pianos. Miss
X.uclle G. Dooly, class '00. delivered a
devout address to His Excellency, the
Delegate, welcoming him and expressing

gratulations and welcome to His Grace
Archbishop Christie. "Sit Nomen Domi

marching of the little ones waving tiny
flaps excited equal admiration. "Tan

ing ih concert on the four pianos, "The
Heavenly Dream." a vocal selection by
Miss May T. Kretman. class '95, and
"The Pallium." a poem dedicated to Most
Rov. A. Christie, recited by Miss Lulu

programme.

rcr. Cordelia Murnhy, Mary Evangeline
Murphy. Frances Margaret O'Leary and
Mary Edith Reilly, filed by a chair as
signed Monsipnore Martlnelll, while he
placed upon the head of each a -chaplet,
gave each a certificate of graduation, and
pinned the college decoration. To Cordelia
Murphy was awarded the college alumni
medal for prose composition, which was
announced by Rev. Father John Hughes.
At the close of the ceremony Monslg
nore Martlnelll addressed the children
briefly, speaking with some difficulty in
English, and marking his words with
particular emphasis and stress. He re
called the fondness of Christ for children,
and likened the solicitude of the church
for the education of the young to this
love of the Savior. He said In part:
"Because she knows that from the edu
cation of the children comes their wel
fare, civil and religious, it is to the educa
tion of the children that the church has
given her best thought, a task consti
tuting one of her greatest Interests. It
is a matter In which she never made
and never will make any compromise.
God gives children to parents in order
that they may be their consolation in old
age. In order that they may be loyal citi
zens to their country, and In order, final
ly, that they may find the rest prepared by
God. But to attain these ends the children
must be educated. Their mental power
and their moral power must be developed
in order to bring out what is the Aest
In them, viz.: their Intellect must be
instructed in the truth and their hearts
must be educated.
"Little children, this is the earnest
care of tho church, and I find it illus
trated in the education you have received
in this academy. The good Sisters have
striven to educate, not only the intellect,
but especially your hearts, because mental
instruction without moral education and
instruction, I would say is rather injurious
than beneficial to the children and to
men in general. So you understand why
the church constantly urges the bishops
and priests and the parents for the edu
cation of their children. Therefore I ask
of you to avail yourselves of the oppor
tunity, of the means afforded here in this
academy, and in that way you will reflect
great credit upon the Alma Mater, and
will be a consolation to your beloved
archhishop. your priests and your good
parents who do so much to give you an
education.
"In closing, I congratulate you, young
ladies, who are being graduated today.
In you address to me you said that per
haps in the future vales of tears and
distress may come. Naturally I do not
know If they will come, because I cannot
know your future life. God only knows
it, but judging from the past I think 1
am sure In saying that as life has brought
trouble to others. It may also bring the
same for you. In that time of sorrow or
distress, your Interests are to be found
In the principles of morality, of modesty,
according to the religion which has been
Instilled into your hearts here by these
Sisters. Avail yourselves of this oppor
tunity, and you will always be good chil
dren of the church, loyal to your country
and a consolation to everyone. For my
part. I wish you every happiness, and
also your parents."
Archbishop Christie also ndaressed the
cniiaren a xew moments, expressing the
pride he experienced In being able to pre
sent the children to His Excellency, and
said:
"If there is one thing we are united on
in this archdiocese of Oregon, It Is tlje
great school question the matter of edu
cation. I believe I speak the truth when
I say that the priests of Oregon and a
majority of the parents of this archdio
cese are united with me In the ohe great
effort to build up the Catholic school sy..
tern in Oregon, so that ultimately In
every parish of tho state wo will be able
to nolnt to a good Catholic school where
Catholic children may receive Catholic
education.
"Sisters. T sincerely thank you. I know
you labor here strong and well to ac
complish this great work of educating our
children, and I assure you. Mother, that
we will co-operate with you in every ef
fort that you may mnke And children. I
thank ycu most sincerely for the ktnd
address to me. and especlallv the manner
in which you have entertained us this a'
fernoon. and also the kind words of wel
come you have uttered to the distin
guished and our beloved truest the rep
resentative of the Holy Father, Monslg
nore larureui."
Heeeptton tit the Portlnnd.
The brilliantly appointed parlors of the
Hotel Portland were thronged last even
ing between the hours of S and 10. on the
occasion of a. reception tendered Monslg
nore Martlnellt, the Papal Delegate to
America. Archbishop Christie accompa
nied the distinguished visitor and Joined
him in handshaking, as over 2000 of Port
land's people filed by and paid their re
spects, many of the faithful taking ad- j
vantage of the opportunity to kiss the
hand of the guest, as also that of the
archbishop. In the necessarily brief greet
ings. The reception committee was- com
posed of the following-named gentlemen,
and each member seemed perfectly at
m home In truIrHntr fh throne: and render.nir
treat thev all enioved. Hev. P. C
Torke, Rev. I. P. Desmerals, Rev. C. J.
O'Reilly and Rev. J. C Hughes were
conspicuous in their efforts to make the
occasion a Dleasant one to be remembered
Dy the participants. Rev. Father Hen-
nessy, of Australia, was also present.
Both Monslgnore Martlnelll and Arch
bishop Christie stood the strain of the
reception well, the delegate remarking in
fairly good English to a reporter: "I do
not get tired; I am taking things very
easy." The archbishop, who Is naturally
of distinguished presence and the soul of
sociability, enjoyed the function hugely,
and made the welcoming host feel very
much at home. After the formal recep
tion the meeting partook of the style of
a genuine social, though, of course, a
large proportion of the assemblage had re
tired from the scene after having greeted
the visitor.
Archbishop Christie and the guest de
parted for Seattle by last night's train,
and they will remain over Sunday in that
city, though no official function Is an
nounced. Monslgnore Martlnelll said, how
ever, in reference to his visit there: "Na
turally, I will say masa." A reception
will also be tendered the gentlemen there.
Bishop Glorieux, of Idaho, did not ac
company the party to Seattle, having re
turned home last evening.
Yesterday afternoon a banquet was ten
dered the delegate at the parlors of the
Commercial Club by D. M. Dunne, at
which Archbishop Christie. Bishop Glor
ieux, Rev. Dr. Booker. Rev. J. H. Black,
Rev. J. C. Hughes and ex-Senator Ml.ch
ell were guests. The affair passed off
very pleasantly, Mr. Dunne proving him
self a capable host.
REFUSE OIL IN FLAME.
Biff Fire in Sullivan's Gulch Without
Damage.
From the refuse and oil cans from the
Standard Oil Company's warehouse,
which had been dumped in Sullivan's
Gulch, along the south side, a hot Are
was started yesterday evening, and raged
for a considerable portion of the night.
In this vast quantity of debris, which
came from the warehouse of this com
pany, there was much oil, and It seemed
to have accumulated at the bottom of the
bluff, close to the edge of the water in
the slough. The fire was caused In the
afternoon by some boy, who started a
smalt blaze on the top of the gulch, but
It then seemed perfectly harmless, but
about 7 o'clock It had worked Its way
dowr. the side of the bluff, and, reach
ing the mass of oil down there, caused a
rearing fire, somewhat like the one that
wrecked the warehouse.
The wind was southeast, and carried the
rca. away firm the Grand-avenue "bridge.
Foi a time the side of the bluff from the
water's edf. to the top, and for a width
of about 100 feet, was a blazing maps.
Sullivan's Gulch across to the north side
was light as day. On the Grand-avenue
bridge and on the banks of the gulch were
great crowds of people gathered, and there
must have been at least 4000. On the
Grand-avenue bridge the heat was great,
but a big crowd collected there in spite
of the fact that it was dangerous, until
two policemen partly cleared the bridge.
From one end of the bridge to the other
there were men, women and children con
centrated on the east side. The police with
difficulty go. a portion to move off, and
thereby lessened the danger.
Tne Are department was on hand with
hose In case there should be danger. A
st J earn was turned on at the east side of
the "burning strip to extinguish the fire In
tho ...usb and stop the spread to the east
ward. The wind kept the fire off tho
bridge, and no damage was done.
LAST DAY OF THE CIRCUS.
Xorrls & Itorrc's Show Will Give
Tvro Final Performances Today.
The afternoon and evening performances
of Norris & Howe's show today will con
clude their stay In Portland. They go
to Astoria Sunday morning. This show
has always been very popular In Port
land, and this time, as well as upon
former visits, the big tents have always
been crowded at every performance. The
entertainment which they furnish is cer
tainly a very meritorious one, and may be
said to be equally enjoyable to old and
young. Each time they come to Port
land the aggregation shows much im
provement. They are continually adding
now features. Only a few years ago the
show was quite small, and used to exhibit
In theaters, but it has now assumed al
most the proportions of a full-fledged
circus.
Manager Rowe says they will In all
probability visit Portland again next year
and that If there are any novelties In the
line of trained animals to be had he will
have them, regardless of expense. Per
haps the most Interesting addition to the
show this year Is Major Mite, the Hlllpu
tlan comedian. The major Is without
doubt the smallest man In the world, and
at the same time he Is a fine performer.
After his performance Thursday night,
the Major attended a meeting of the Elks,
and presided at the social session which
followed the regular meeting.
Flower Mission Day.
The members of the "W. C. T. U. will
observe Flower Mission Day, Tuesday,
May 22. This day usually falls June 9. and
is kept in honor of Jennie Cassiday, the
first Flower Mission National Superin
tendent. Though a confirmed Invalid, unable for
many years to leave her couch, so ac
tive and public-spirited was she that
when Miss Frances E. "Wlllard was intro
duced to her, with that wonderful Intui
tion of hers she saw the person adapted
for tho superintendence of this beauti
ful work all over this broad land, and
at once named her the National Flower
Mission Superintendent for the W. C T.
U. This ofllco she held until her death.
And now each anniversary of her birth
the women of the W. C T. U. honor
her memory by carrying flowers with
scriptural texts attached Into all the
dark places of the land.
Last year our season was so tardy that
we were obliged to postpone our day until
July 10. But this year we have decided
to keep May 22, in Order that we may
utilize our roses while they last. Any
one wishing to help can do so by leaving
flowers at the Noon Rest, 1076 Third
street on the morning of that day, or
coming themselves to help tie and carry
bouquets. MISS C "W. BURNS.
Superintendent of Central Union; also
Superintendent of Multnomah County.

marquam foreclosure suit may
be proceeded with.
Jadse Clelaad Denies Defendant's
Plea of Abatement Tfotes'ef
Miner Lltlgratloa.
Judge Cleland yesterday decided from
the bench that the United States Mortgage
Company is entitled to proceed with Its
mortgage foreclosure emit against P. A.
Marquom, and the plea In abatement was
denied.
This plea set forth that the Title Guar
antee & Trust Company acted for hoth
parties, and was negligent In performing
the trust, otherwise the rents and profite
would have been sufficient to have paid
the expenses of the trust and interest, and
the mortgage would not have become due
and payable. These allegations were
made In the form of an answer, and
counsel for Marquam contended that as an
answer to the suit Itself, but the court
considered the matter as a plea la abate
ment, and granted Marquam leave to flle
answer to the case as to Its merits.
The cross-complaint of the Title Guar
antee & Trust Company to recover $24,000
from Marquam under the trust agreement
VL
RECEPTION TO
on account of moneys paid for him to
various creditor?, etc., and Involving1 other
Issues, Is yet to be disposed of. When the
trust agreement was entered into, Mar
quam owed a note of $14,000 executed to
the Portland National Bank, and was In
debted to other parties. Some of his cred
itors were pressing him, and the Title
Guarantee & Trust Company agreed to
take care of all of these claims under the
trust. Marquam has been allowed ?1000
credit on account of moneys collected
since this suit was filed. He asserts that
the rents collected are not as high as
might have been realized, and files a counter-claim
for various things, all of which
make up the dispute which the court will
dispose of In its final decision.
The Title Guarantee & Trust Company
contends that it made regular settlements
with Marquam, which he accepted, and
has no right now to question: and the
company avers tttat the accounts are all
correct and Just and proper, and that they
have eo proved. The case was argued yes
terday by Wallace McCamant and W. M.
Gregory for plaintiffs and J. W. Whalley
and U. S. G. Marquam for the defendant.

Ilcalth of Troops in the Philippines.
Army and Navy Gazette.
The Surgeon-General of the Army has
received a cable message from Colonel
Charles R. Greenleaf, Assistant Surgeon
General United States- Army, chief sur
geon of the department of the Pacific and
Eighth Army Corps, saying that the total
number of cases In the military hospitals
in and around Manila, March 12, was 12S7.
There has been a steady reduction In the
number of cases under treatment at the
hospitals since January 20 last, when they
numbered 2540. The cases now under
treatment are only abcJut halt that num
ber. Included In the decrease are about
200 cases that have been transferred to
hospitals In the United States. Colonel
Grcenleafs report shows a decided Im
provement In the health of the troops In
the Philippines, and serves to refute the
alarming reports of excessive sickness
among these troops, which have been put
In circulation In this country.
The Surgeon-General of the Army has
also received from Major Louis M. Maus,
chief Surgeon of the Second Division,
Eighth Army Corps, which division is com
posed of about 1700 men separated in small
detachments In many towns, a report un
der date of January 13 which states that
the troops arc enjoying fairly good health
and that with proper sanitary conditions
and living accommodations they, as a rule,
would be as well off as in the Southern
States of the United States.
Malaria Is quite common and Intestinal
troubles, but this comes principally from
sleeping near the ground and drinking bad
water. These diseases are increased by
the frequency of "bikes" or marches
through the country after lnsurrectos, La
drones and Tulasanes. When the trouble
Is over and the troops settle down In prop
er garrisons they will do as well la In the
United States.
Proposed Alliance With England.
If the United States and England should
form an alliance, the combined strength
would be so great that there would be

chance of attacks from disease. The old.

TO THREE CENTS A MILE
I 50RTHESX PACIFIC'S REDUCTION
IX -PASSENGER FARES.
It Applies Wholesale to the Entire
Paclao Division, Effective Jaly X
JText Railroad Xotes.
Assistant General Passenger Agent
j Charlton, of the Northern Pacific, stated
i yesterday that, beginning July 1, that com
pany will again voluntarily reduce Its
local passenger rates In Oregon and Wash
ington to 3 cents per mile. "This will
make the second reduction In local tariffs,"
said Mr. Charlton, "In a little over a year.
Our rate, prior to this first reduction, was
5 cents per mile. The second reduction
nearly cuts the original rate in two."
When it Is considered that In the thick
ly populated states of the Middle West,
local passenger tariffs are no lower than
3 cents, the present action of the North
ern Pacific is a progressive one. It goes
to show that the populations of Oregon
and Washington are becoming more dense.
The effect of the latest reduction, makes
the rate to Seattle 5 CO. as against $6 GO,
the present rate. To Tacoma the rate will
be 54 "35 Instead of $S 75. Before any paring
down, of tariffs was made the rate from
Portland to Tacoma was $6 25, and the
new rate will be 51 90 less. The old rate
to Seattle was 57; the new tariff makes It
51 40 less. All other local rates will show
a proportionate reduction. Mr. Charlton
added:
"Our experience goes to show that the
first reduction, we made materially In
creased our passenger earnings in Ore
gon and Washington. This second cut in
tariffs, we believe, will dp the same thing.
It will tend to stimulate travel, and as
sist in building up populous centers."
Shanlko's Boom.
Shanlko's boom is still on the top wave,
according to Archie Nusin, the railroad
contractor, who returned from Sherman
County yesterday. He says the first freight
train arrived at the new terminus Mon
day afternoon, and the loads of merchan
dise and lumber were eagerly sought by
the consignees. A big warehouse, 400 feet
long- and 100 wide, is well under way, but
none too soon, as the wool clip is coming
In over the wagon roads from all direc
tions. Two trainloads of sheep have already
left Shanlko for Spokane. The stock bad
been purchased by J. M. Wright, who will
pasture the bands In the Colville reser
vation, while -supplying the butchers of
Northport, Rossland and other towns with
mutton.
A telegraph line is being built along the
Coulmbla Southern. Thp wire Is already
strung as far es Moro, and the holes
have been dug to Shaniko. The now town
at Cross Hollows will therefore be In tel
egraphic communication with Portland in
a few weeks.
Laborers Returned.
Some GO laborers, who had been in the
employ of Steve Aldrich, at Vlento, for
several months, returned to Portland yes
terday on the completion of the con
tract. They had been Improving the O.
R. & N. roadoed along the bank of the
Columbia at that point. Many of the

Marlon County, through her son-in-law,
W. S. Hamilton, who lives at 425 Stephens
street. East Side, haa been trying to
ascertain why the remains of her son,
John L. Reid. were not shipped back to
Portland with the rest of the Second

trying to ascertain why the remains were
not shipped, said yesterday that so far
he has been unable to learn. Under date

quiry from Washington:
"I am directed by the Quartermaster

mains of your son, James L. Reid, late

most probable the remains of Reid will
be shipped May 1st.' So socjn as they are
received at San Francisco shipment will
he" made In your care at Government ex
pense, at which time you will be notified
by telegrah."
This Is the last Information the rela
tives have received, and they ore anxious
to get further particulars. Mr. Hamil
ton, who lives at 4 E52ast Stephens street,
will be glad to get any Information con
cerning this matter. They are anxious

Will Trr bb Get the Home.
The Portland) delegates to tho grand
lodge of the Odd Fellows order, which
will meet in Astoria next week, will leave
next Monday, to be present at the open
ing of the session. One thing In which
Portland delegates ore greatly Interested
Is the location of the Orphans' Home,
which will be determined at the coming
session of the grand lodge. At that time
offers are expected from various places
In the state for the location of the home.
One of the Portland delegates stated yes
terday that they would be able to offer a
donation of between 54000 and 55000 for
the establishment of the home here, which
will likely be as much. If not more, than
will be made by any other place. Port
band is conceded to be the place for the
home, owing to Its being central and
easily accessible from all portions of the
satte. The order still owns the fine prop
erty at Fairvlow, which was purchased
about twelve years ago, and which 13
very valuable. It has come to be regarded
as unsulted for the location of such a
home as Is contemplated, but the prop
erty will no doubt be valuable In aiding
in the establishment of the home,
wherever it may be located.
Injured by a Fall.
Mrs. Walters, wife of Rev. J. J. Walters,
former pastor of Centenary M. E. Church,
of this city, Is In a very bad situation

tripped by a loose board In the sidewalk.
For several days she did not feel Its ef
fects, "but after that she began to suffer
so much that she Is confined to her hed.
She will be removed to the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Gregory, in the Manley
building, on Williams avenue, today,
where she will be taken care of till she
recovers. ,

J. W. Slngletory reports that he has
written something over fifty receipts for

the place of interment. As he was a

New York Tribune.
It follows, therefore, that not only every
requirement of duty, but every considera
tion of political policy forbids the ap
pointment of men to office In our depend
encies after the fashion In which Neely
was appointed. Eager efforts to shift the
blame from one shoulder to another prove
that he got the place merely be
cause he was a person for whom
politicians wanted "to do some
thing." The fact" that nobody Is willing
to be held responsible for his selection
shows that he was selected for reasons
which It Is Inconvenient to avow, and
there Is good cause to fear that he is by
no means the only true exponent of the
spoils system in the Cuban postofilce.
The scandal is a grievous yet perhaps a
salutary reminder that there is no con
ceivable possibility of preserving our Na
tional credit and safety, in dealing with
momentous problems which we cannot
avoid, except through the giving and se
curing to our dependencies of the purest
and ablest civil service that the most rig
orous tests of character and capacity can
provide. Only by taking this course can
the Nation expect or deserve to escape
great disaster and win a great reward.
WIFE AND SERVANT
Adopt a Change in Diet.
A minister gives his experience with
coffee drinking and Its effect on his
health, but requests that if his name be
used his residence be omitted, and only
furnished In reply to Inquiries that may
be addressed to the Postum Cereal Com
pany. Ltd., at Battle Creek. Mich.
He says he had catarrh of the stomach
and dyspepsia, caused by drinking cof
fee. By advice of the physician he left
off coffee for a few years and drank hot
water. "In visiting one of the homes of
my congregation about a year and a half
ago, I was Introduced to Postum Food
Coffee, the lady of the house saying that
tea and coffee had very badly affected a
daughter and that since she had quit
them both and used Postum Food Coffee
she was very much improved in health.
"I tried a cup of It, and found no bad
effects following. On my return home I
got a package and enjoyed its use very
much better than either tea or coffee, it
having none of the harsh taste of those
beverages. I took to using Postum both
morning and night, and found it benefited
me In a most marked way.
"Our children enjoy it and keep
healthy and well. My wife and the serv
ant have both stopped the use of coffee
and enjoy Postum better than the former.
As you will observe, the entire family
have Improved In health by malting the
change." The minister's name is Rev.
David T. Robertson.
Postum Food. Coffee has a well-de-flned
work In rebuilding the nervous sys
tem that has been "broken down by the
use of coffee. This is particularly notice
able in highly organized individuals. The
Postum is made from pure grains, and
selected parts that contain phosphate of
potash are used.
The delicate particles thus obtained
from nature are known by chemists to
unite with the albumen of food, from
which the gray matter that Alls the brain
and nerve centers Is made. There Is a
true and scientific reason why Postum
Food Coffee strengthens the U3er, both
mentally and physically, and these facts
can be proven; In any case where a trial
I of "10 days or two week3 will be given.
