titf. -ro-RNTXO OT!F,aONTAN. TUESDAY, JUSE 12, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Aranemcnt Tonight. MARQUAM GRAXD Nat Goodwin. CORDRA3TS THEATER (Washington Street) "Jhe New Dominion." Bicyclist's Side op It. "A, -wheelman," who is a member of the legal fraternity, writes to The Oregonlan to toy that the law in regard to bicycle paths provides that such pathe are for the use o "pedes trians and wheelmen," and from obser vation he Is of opinion that both get tho full and free use of such paths. In his travels over the various paths he has met j persons wheeling baby buggies, all ap parently enjoying their walk, and on some paths the number of footmen were about equal to the number of wheelmen. Some paths ere used about as much by men going to work as by wheelmen, and the path on East Twenty-sixth street 1 the regular way by which a large num ber of children reach the Clinton Kelly School about every day, and so far no eocidents have happened. The pedestrians cheerfully and willingly turn cut to make way for wheelmen. He suggests that the pedestrian who Inquired about his right to travel bicycle paths "may have wanted iiLi own righto and a little more, or have met some hoodlums, who are unfortu nately to be met on the paths almost as often as on the city streets or in public places, and who are Just as dangerous In one place as another." Time of Mail Collections. A great many Inquiries have been made at the Postofflce of late In regard to the exact timo at which mail is collected from the boxes around town. Business men are the moe solicitous in this matter, as they de sire to delay mailing their letters to the latest possible moment. Owing to the nu merous changes made in the time of the arrival and departure of trains of late and the fact that the cards for tho letter boxes have to be sent from Washington, it has been impossible to keep the puWic in formed on this matter, for before new cards for the boxes could arrive from Washington another change in train schedules would be made, and so on. The times for tho departure and arrival of trains have now been about definitely set tled upon for the time being, and tho work of setting the iron posts for the mall boxes will be commenced to day. As soon as practicable the boxes will be placed on these posts, painted and let tered and new cards placed on them, giv ing the information desired. Shokt School Board Meeting. Tflo School Board held a short session last evening, all members being present ex cept Mr. Wittenberg, who ia out of town. Minor items in reterenee to changes in tho plumbing of the Holladay School, tearing down the fence of the Multnomah School, Improvements In the cesspoom of the Clinton Kelly school and cement flooring the Portsmouth and Sunnyside schools were discussed, and the matter left to the repairs committee. Some com plaint of the condition of the drinking water at the Fulton Park School were spoken of, but no suggestions were made jo remedy the matter. Fulton Park School Is situated on an elevation in the ex treme southern portion of the city, where Bull Run water has not yet been intro duced. The school is supplied from a well, which is only a few feet deep, but does not drain any inhabited locality. Tae water is ae good as any in Fulton Park, the board decided. Lewis and Clark's Fort Located. E. L. Cox, of the Oregon Historical Society, accompanied by P. W. Gillette and C W. Shane, of Vancouver, who went to Clat sop Plains last week to locate the site of the old fort where Lewis and Clark Wintered during tho Winter of 1S05-O3, re turned Sunday evening. They definitely located the site of the old fort, which the Historical Society contemplates pur chasing, with a view to erecting thereon a monument to the founders the flrd white men who came across tho continent to visit and explore th's region. They also located the eo.lt works on the edge of the beach, between Seaside House and Grimes', where the Lewis and Clark par.y made salt enough from sea water to lat them on their return trip across the Rockies to civilization. Mr. Cox directed that a picket fence be built around the salt works site. To Audit Election Bills. The claims of the judges and clerks of elections and other bills of the election will be audited the beginnlrg of next month by the new Board of County Commissioners, and the total expense will not be known until . that time. For the election held two years ago tho Judges and clerks were paid at the rate of 14 votes to the hour. By this means, the riow and fast count ers received a uniform scale of compen sation. A former system wa to allow one day. from S A. M. to G P. M.. election day and one day for every eight hours thereafter. The County Clerk checks up the time as the returns are received. It remains for the new Commissioners to adopt the rule this time. Warning Against Lung - Testers. f( Some one has sent Health Commissioner Mer.efee a communication clipped from a St. Louis paper warning the public agalnst lungi-tters, which are styled the greatest germ-breeders that ever ex isted. All sorts of people afflicted with consumption, diphtheria, etc., after drop ping their penny in the slot, blow through the same mouthpiece into these machines, and the tubes become infested with all sorts of disease germs. Perhaps if every blower would carry his own mouthpiece and blow hard enough to drive the germs out of tho tube, he might be able to tct the power of his lungs without the germs getting. hold of him. Will Go To Tillamook. Colonel J. W. Links, special agent of the Treas ury "Department, who has been in the city for several days, left lart night for Tilla mook. By way of precaution, he trav eled with Local Inspectors Edwards and Fuller, who have gone to Tillamook to Inspect the steamers Louise and Annarlne. Colonel Links' business is connected with customs matters at Tillamook, where there is an official who fills the positions cf Deruty Collector and Inspector under a " branch" from the Astoria Custom Houte. Belated Water Consumers. Notwith standing the fact that a large number of persons availed themeelvts of the sug gestion given by The Oregonlan and paid their water rates Saturday, the office of the water company was crowded with water consumers nearly all day yesterday, and many had to wait a long time in the strings before they could reach the dsk to pay their rates. Had all put off paying till yesterday, business would have been blocked. Mayor Storey Is Friendly. Mayor Storey yesterday called at the office of the Board of Fire Commissioners and met his successor. Mayor-elect H. S. Rowe, for the first time since the election. He congratulated Mr. Rowe on his election, and was very friendly and agreeable, and Invited blm to call at the Mayor's office, offering to give him any Information or assistance In his power.

In the custody of Deputy United States Marshal Wilson, who came here from Denver after him. Cox es caped from an officer at Lincoln. Neb. Better care will doubtless be taken of him this trip.

The den-gates to the Nat onal Democratic Con vention are preparing to go to Kansas City to indorse Mr. Bryan, as some of them put it. They will probably go in a body, and will leave Portland about June 2S. It has not yet been definitely learned whether all of the regular dele gates will go or whether a few of the al ternates T.-1U be allowed the privilege of taking the trip. Following Is the ltt of delegates, as nominated by the late Dem ocratic Convention: J. H. Raley. of Pen dleton; J. O. Booth, of Grant's Pass; M. A. Miller, of Lebanon; A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles; John Welch, of Portland: R, M. Veatch, of Cottage Grove: Charles Nickell, of Jacksonville; N. A. Pecry, oi porMan Charged With Passino Worthless Checks. D. W. Howard, an Englishman, who registered at the Portland Hotel a week ago, was brought back last evening in charge of Pinkerton detectives. While at the Portland he cashed personal checks on the London & San Francisco Baak to the amount of JSO, and left for Seattle before the bank opened and the fact dis covered that there was no credit at the bank subject to his check. Howard is a vourar. well-aDnearing roan, of 33, but is eald to have performed the same act in Tacoma of drawing checks on banks In which he had no funds. Howard came back, voluntarily from Seattle, and it is probable, if the amount is made good, that no criminal charge will be pressed against him. No Callee Ladt Damliar. Qucng Chung, a Chinese laundryman at 20S Co lumbia street, waa arrested yesterday aftcrooon by Officer Shown on a warrant sworn out by B. Weitzen, of 224 Mill street, the charge being the use of profane language. Chung was vociferous in pro claiming his Innocence, and told his own story to the chief. "I no callee lady a dam liar. I only talkee to a man. He say he no payee 'cause I no blingee bacK washee, I blingee back washee. He no payee. He say I no blingee back alle washee. I blingeo more Sunday. He no payee. I no callee lady dam liar. I no talkee to lady at all: I only talk to man." Chung was released on J10 ball, and will be heard in the Municipal Court today. Inquest Over Body of G. K. Dean. At the Coroner's inquest yesterday after noon, held over the body of George K. Dean, Fred M. Gilmore, F. H. Hopkins and W. L. Brewster, his friends, testified that they bad left him the day before in fine spirits. George I. Thompson, clerk of the Perkins, told of the discovery of his death Sunday afternoon at 3:C0, and Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, who performed tho autopsy gave the medical testimony, which showed that the cause of death waa strangulation, due to the forcing of food Into the larynx during the act of vom iting, coupled with a diseased condition of the heart and liver. The Coroner's Jury reached a verdict in accord with the facts. Only 13 Precincts Counted. The of ficial canvassing board has finished count ing the returns of 13 election precincts, and expect to finish the wock Friday evening.

W. Bailey. 211 to 221. Pre cinct No. 9, George Chamberlain, ,163 to 152; Donald Mackay. 147 to 137. Precinct ro. 10, Donald Mackay, 152 to 151; James Drls- coll. 164 to 1C5; A. J.

Jacobson Is a cripple, and re cently came to Portland from Astoria. His case will be beard In the Municipal Court today. The lost goods have not yet been recovered. No Hop Lice As Yet. Reports from various sectlQns of the Willamette Val ley are to the effect that hops are mak ing a most amazing growth since the warm weather set in. Hop lice are so scarce that it is necessary to hunt for eome time to find one. If the clear, fine, hot weather continues there will be no lice to do any damage, but if warm, muggy weather sets in- the vermin will eoon become numerous and do lots of harm. It Is a safe two to one bet that the standing luck of the hop louse will stay with him, and muggy or showery weather will afford him an opportunity to show that he Is still on earth and as lively as ever. Wheelmen Unite. A meeting of bicy clists waa held last evening to consider the advisability of organizing a wheel men's taxpayers'' league for the purpose of co-operating with the authorities in collecting taxes, building bicycle paths and In other ways, and to advocate the In terests of wheelmen in general. Various plans were discussed, and It was finally decided to Issue a call to wheelmen of Multnomah County to meet at a place to be determined today, notice of which will be given In The Oregonlan tomorrow, for the purpose of forming such an organiza tion. Increase in Postal Receipts.-The regular monthly report of the amount of business done at the Portland Postofflce has only just been completed, delay hav ing been caused by a rush of business in the office arising out of the vast amount of campaign literature which flooded the office and other election business. The receipts from the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards for the month of May. 1900. amounted to 516,812 41. as compared with J15.2SS 23 for the corres ponding month of 1S93. showing an In crease for the month of $1324 05. Changes in a Chinese Building. Lee Lung, of 129 Second street, has had plans and specifications prepared for extensive changes In the old Chinese Theater, at tho corner of Alder and Second streets, and contractors will soon have an oppor tunity to bid on the Job. It is proposed to tear the thcaterout and put In a restaurant and add a third story, to be need as a lodging-house, which will be quite an Im provement in the property and tend to make it more profitable to the owners.

The song recital given by Miss May Dearborne last night at the Marquam at tracted an audience of critical musicians and music-lovers, who showed In demon strative fashion their admiration for the fine vocal work of this very talented young Portland singer. It was In reality her debut, after more than three years of quiet, unremitting work, during which time she has persistently remained away from the concert stage. The result was a surprise even to those who were most conversant with her capabilities. The dif ficult "Travlata" aria, "Ah Fors e Lul." that touchstone for ambitious sopranos, showed her to best advantage. The un usual purity and sweetness of her voice and Its remarkable range came out prom inently in this number. It Is a high so prano, absolutely true, and of most de lightful quality. The staccato runs and the many echo-like passages were given with very dainty and charming effect, proving her to be the fortunate possessor of that flexibility of voice without which coloratura work la Impossible. Later on in the programme, she gave the gay little polonaise from "MIgnon." also several de lightful ballads that made a heavy de mand upon her versatility Dudley Buck's "When the Heart Is Young" and others by De Koven, D'Hardelot, Liza Lehmann and others encores were frequent, the programme being almost doubled In this way; and floral tributes of great beauty were handed to her over the footlights. Mr. Gllllland. who has a tenor of genu ine sweetness, Joined her in the duet, "Parlgl O Cara," from "Travlata," and Mrs. Bushong sang with her In Strelezkl's dainty, spirited song, "The Birds That Sang In May." This was received wun marked favor by the audience, two en cores being given. Mrs. Bushong greatly surprised those who were familiar with her church" work as a soprano of about two years ago. Since that time she has developed a rich and satisfying contralto that reflects great credit upon her teacher. The chorus choir of the Taylor-Street Church, of which Mr. Boyer is musical director, assisted In the programme. There were about 30 voices In this chorus, and their work was exceedingly good, a pleas ing, mellow quality being peculiarly char acteristic of it. Miss Pearl Smith, the accompanist. dld her part admirably on the piano, showing unusual fitness for tho work, a sensitive musical temperament keenly alive to delicate changes in light and shade. Altogether the recital may. without ex aggeration, be said to be one of the best of its kind Portland has given. And Miss Dearborne will now tike her proper place in local musical circles as one of the lead ing soloists of the city, whose singing will prdve a soured of rare pleasure and satis faction to Portland music-lovers. NAT GOODWIN TONIGHT. "When AVe "Were Twenty-One" to Be Given at tlic Mariinom. - If the unprecedented demand for seats can be taken as a criterion, the engage ment of Mr. N. C. Goodwin and Miss Maxlne Elliott at the Marquam Grand tonight and tomorrow night will unques tionably prove the most notable event of the year. It is rarely that so great Inter est has been evidenced in the coming of these two favorites as has characterized the announcement that Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott would present for the first time in this city their new play, en titled "When We Were Twenty-One," from the pen of H. V. Esmond. All Win ter long New York dispatches have been filled with glowing reports of the mer its of this latest success, and it is safe to anticipate a rare treat in the advent of these two celebrated artists. In this play Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott have been provided with a work that, besides being the best they have ever acquired, affords them the most unlimited oppor tunities. It will introduce Mr. Goodwin and Miss Elliott in an entirely new field of work. It is one of those natural stories that appeal to all, and is full of beautiful sentiment and refined humor. The supporting company Is of unusual strength, and includes, among others, Frank Glllmore, Ysobl Hasklns. Clarence Handyslde. Harry Woodruff. Estelle Mor timer, Nell O'Brien. Gertrude Gheen, Thomas Oberle and L. E. Woodthorpe. The production Is by far the most elab orate ever attempted by Mr. Goodwin, and Is Identically the same as that seen during the Winter at the Knickerbocker Theater, New York. The curtain will rise promptly at S o'clock each evening. STRANGE AXD STARTLING Are These Totally Inexplicable Povrers. It is a fact conceded by such distin guished scientists as Professor William Crooks. Professor Wallace, F. R. S.; Iono dles, "the great Greek." and Baron Carl du Prell. of Munich. Bavaria, that Grant Chesterfield has done more toward ad vancing the art of thought-reading than has any other of the sons of men; and such eminent personages as Dr. Depew, Rev. T. DeWltt Talmage, Senator Cush man K. Davis. Senator Teller. William Jennings Bryan, the divine Patti, Sarah Bernhardt, Governor Gjter. and over 2000 citizens of Portland, testify to the fact that Professor Chesterlield performs mar vels In reading the palm which has writ ten within It the complete story of one a life. Yes. it tells all. it tells you how to be made happy and successful, how to overcome your difficulties, what you are best fitted for In life, and It also tells the condition of your health, and in speaking of health.

WORKING FOR THE FAIR WOMEX "WANT TO CONSTRUCT A BUILDING OF THEIR. OWX. Organize and Will Help to Mate tke Carnival a. Shcccss Subscrip tions Coming In. The woman's meeting In Elks' Hall yes terday afternoon, to form a temporary auxiliary to aid in the coming street fair and carnival, was a great, big success. There was a large number of women present, and the enthusiasm manifested clearly indicates that they will put their shoulders to the wheel In a manner that will count. Organization was effected, and a num ber of plans for raising runds and other wise aiding the committee to makea suc cess of the fair were discussed. A com mittee was appointed to find out If the street-car companies were willing to give the women a day this month, and.. If so, what day. If a favorable answer if re ceived, and a day appointed, the women will at once go to work organizing their corps of conductors. These women will not stop here. They propose, if possible, to erect a building for the exhibit of woman's handiwork. This building is to be designed, constructed and decorated solely by women. Many novel Bchemes for raising funds for such a building were discussed, and some genu-. Ine surprises are in store along this line. All women in the city, whether related to Elks or not. who are interested in either the fair or in woman's work, are re quested to Join in and help make this feature of the fair one of Its best. There will be another meeting of the women at Elks' Hall Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and all Interested ones are re quested to attend that meeting. The executive committee of the fair and carnival also held a meeting yesterday afternoon. Plans of various kinds for raising funds were discussed, and some satisfactory conclusions were reached. Several encouraging letters and subscrip tions were received by the committee. Among the latter as one from The Ore gonlan. pledging as a part of its subscrip tion $1000 worth of advertising, and the following letter was received from the Evening Telegram: "June 9, 1900. John F. Cordray, Port land, Or. Dear Sir: In reply to your re auest askinc what we will contribute In l the way of free advertising for the Port land Street Fair and Carnival, to De given under the auspices of the Portland Lodge of Elks, will say that the Evening Tele gram will donate $500 in such advertising as the carnival committee may suggest. Wishing you success in this laudable en terprise, I remain, very truly yours, "C. J. OWEN, Manager Telegram." From these and many other indications, the committee feels safe In stating that Portland will have one of the greatest car nivals this Fall that the people here have ever witnessed. The members realize that there is much, solid, hard work ahead, for thero is considerable money yet to be raised, but the way that the people are coming to their assistance leaves no doubt as to the success of the undertaking. GREATSTRAWBERRYCOUNTRY Olympla Coming; to the Front An a. Fruit Center. F. W. Tinkham, engaged in the frult canning business at Olympla, Wash., is at the Portland. Tho vicinity of Olympla, he says, has become a great place for strawberries, and his firm expects to put up 100,000 Jars this Summer. The berries aro somewhat later about ripening than around Portland, but picking has already begun, and a large number of women and children are busy In the fields. Six boxes for a quarter is tho price now paid for berries by the cannery, and he has re cently arranged to purchase several crops at 2 cents a pound, tho cannery paying for the picking. "Two years ago," he said, yesterday, "wo put up several hundred Jars of strawberries, and let the neighbors pick all they wanted free of charge. Last year we put up 10,000 Jars, and now we will preserve 100.000. Our output finds a market In Portland, the Puget Sound cit ies and in Alaska, and the demand appears to exceed the supply, while, the straw berry acreage Is Increasing around Olym pla. year after year. We use no Chinese help in either field or cannery, as we find white women and children good enough for tho work, being reliable, in dustrious and clean. The building util ized as a cannery is an old hotel, and we have employes working on even floor." Mr. Tinkham thinks the peopje of Olym pla have not been treated right in tho matter of state capital, as the seat of gov ernment waa located there about 10 years ago by a fair, square vote, and yet no statehouse has ever been built, and there is even ialk of submitting the question of location to tho voters of the state again. "The Legislature some time ago," eald her "appropriated $1,000,000 toward the erection of a suitable statehouse, and some $200,000 was then expended on the basement A subsequent Legislature re duced the appropriation to $500,000, and Governor Rogers vetoed that, so there the basement stands, a mute witness of Limosres French China at Prices to Sell QuicJcly Come Just to Look.

If you are Interested In music and In high-grade pianos and organs, you should not fall to visit our new salesrooms at 331 Washington building.

In Our New Miuic Building. 35! Washington Street procrastination and Injustice. Olympla is the proper place for the state capital, as It is easily accessible from all portions of Washington: the site is healthful, and the old territorial Legislature met there for a number of years. Therefore the state should proceed to erect a substantial building without delay, and thus close the question of location. "The state offices are now situated in a corner brick building, and the officials seem to have plenty of room, but Olym pians would much prefer a dome-crowned edifice, on a prominent site, as it would be more in keeping with the dignity of a great state like Washington."
