MONUMENT TO PIONEERS
SUGGESTIOJf Br PRESIDENT BLU
' afATJEH. TO XA.TIVE SOXS.
Large Xamber of Delegate Attend
ing; tne Grand Lodge Grand
President Re-elected.
Sol Blumauer; 'grand president ot the
grand cabin, Native Sons o Oregon, in bis
address at the second annual meeting yes
terday, advocated a concentrated effort to
build a monument to the pioneers who,
through herculean efforts, hardships and
perils, found their Tvay to Oregon and
reclaimed the broad acres,' and through
their occupancy saved it from the domina- I
tion of a foreign power, .tie recommeuucu
that a committee of five members be ap
pointed to take steps "to secure the park
block bounded by Salmon, 3Iain, Park and
"West Park streets, for the -purpose of
erecting a monument therein to the pio
neers, in the shape of a log cabin, large
enough to accommodate the pioneers at
their annual reunion, the Indian "War Vet
erans during their yearly meetings, and
tho Native Sons and Native Daughters
when they meet in annual session. To
provide, also, for the permanent preserva
' tion and exhibit of the archives, relics and
curios of the State Historical Society.
The co-operation of the Pioneer Associa
tion, Indian War Veterans, Native Daugh-
tera and State Historical Society was ad
vised. It was suggested that the legal
status of the-case be inquired into, and
If it be lawful for the property to be so
- disposed of, that determined and united
effort be made to accomplish this .object.
He stated that many Native Sons and
Iaughters are unable to entertain tho
pioneers and take part In their exercises
-oh Account, of. interfering with their busi
ness vocations, and recommended that a
" committee of, five be appointed to have' a
-fcill passed at tho session of the Leglsla
ture" making June 15 a. legal holiday, in
honor of the brave pfdneers.
Grand President Blumauer reviewed the
work .of tho year comprehensively, show
ing that 13 new cabins have been lnsti--tuted
during the past term. He gave de
tails of the visitation of cabins in the
following places: Hillsboro, Oregon City,
Roseburg. Jacksonville, Albany, Eugene,
Pendleton. Astoria, Corvallls, Junction,
East Portland, Buttevllle, Grant's Pass.
Salem, Harrisburg and McMlnnvIlle. and
4old of. bqllding cabins, "up by renewing
Enthusiasm of joint": meetings, entertain
'"TSenT5and 'many'things- of an interesting
nature.
To the Native Daughters he gave much
of the credit of past success. He said:
"Many of the cabins in the state have
either severally or jointly with the cabin
of Native Daughters located In their same
city, given entertainments and other at
tractions to the public These rerve to
better make us known and spread brOad
. (cast our alms and objects. I therefore
trust that these features will be kept up
; Joy cabins. It will surely serve to cement
our bonds of brotherhood and bring many
native sons into our cabins who would
otherwise remain outside. Where you cand
assist the order of Native mug-mere ao
o: they are well worthy of your hearty
support."
.The address closed with thanks to the
grand officers and committees.

COMMENCEMENT ' DAY.
Class Graduates' From. St. Helea'a
Hall.
The commencement day exercises of St.
Helen's Hall were held yesterday morn
ing, and were largely attended by the
relatives and friends of the graduating
class. The rooms were decorated with
ferns ana flowers, exquls-lte taste being
evident everywhere. In their attractive
graduating gowns the members of the
class made a pretty picture, and in their
carefully prepared and clearly read es
says they showed, the benefit of careful
training as well as unusual natural talent.
The two essays were of especial Inter
est. Miss Helen Ramsdell took for her
subject "Famous Treen" and lent to a
simple and beautiful style of composition
a charming manner of delivery that earned
her numberless congratulations at the
close of the exercises. Without attempt
ing any flights of rhetoric or "word pic-,
tures, wwcft young graduates are prone ;
to paint, she threw around her subject an
interest that grew as she proceeded, and
which gave her hearers something new to
think and talk about. Subjects of this
kind are less frequently met with in grad
uating exercises than "Whither Are We
Drifting?" or "The Threshold of Our Des
tinies." and Miss RarosdeH's success will
help to make them more popular.
Miss Sarah Mllllcent Powell took for
her subject "Some Points of Interest In
tho History of Oregon." selecting a' sub
ject which sjie evidently thoroughly un
derstood, and which she wrote about with
a force and clearness that showed how
careful had been her instruction. With
out any excursions into historical gener
alities, she told of the growth of the
state, and the people who made it, in
language fitted to her theme, and with an
excellent delivery. Her essay was enthu
siastically applauded.
A fine musical programme was rendered
by members of the class and pupils of
the school, in an artistic and finished
manner. The programme was as follows;
Duo from "Melsterslnger" Wagner
First piano. Miss Grace Amos; sec
ond. Miss Jessie Hartman.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
OREGOX
COKVEXTIOX JX SESSIOX
IS PORTLAND.
Xeted Leaders Are Here to Take
Part la tae Exercises To
day's Pretraaac.
A large audience filled tho main audi
torium of the -First Baptist Church last
evemnc. at the opening of the 15th annual
convention of the 'Oregon State Sunday
School Association. President A. A. Morse
introduced E. O. Excell, of Chicago, who
conducted the musical part of the pro
gramme, and lead the audience as a largo
chorus. Rev. Dr. Ketchum. of Salem,
led in prayer, and was followed by Rev.
Alexander Blackburn, pastor ot the
church, who welcomed tho convention.
Rev. S. B. Morse, of Sodaville, responded.
Marion Lawrence, secretary of the Na.
tional Association, delivered the address
of the evening on the "Big-Boy Problem."
He said in part:
"The Sunday schools of Oregon are do
ing more to make this a good state to
live in than all the laws on your statute
books. When Ion Maclaren was asked by
a newspaper man what was the greatest
agency for good In the United States, ho
answered: 'It s your Sunday school.' This
association is notable, as it is the only
organization In the state in which all the
denominations meet on a common footing
and work together as a unit for the ad
vancement of the kingdom of God.
"Wherever we turn we meet the big boy,
and I want to bring to your uoUce five
Questions, and to answer them as well as
I-can.
"Fanst ATe the bors in tho Sunday
school now? I answer this "no." Sta
tistics show that the girls outnumber the
boys three to one.
"Second Why not? We must give a
reason a boy goes where he wants to be.
He will go to a baseball game. Why
will he go to the one and not the other?
When the Sunday school is managed as
well as the baseball ga"me, tho boys will
bo on hand. The baseball pitcher is
trained to pitch, the catcher to catch; but
tho teacher is not trained to teach. The
parents are much to blame. We need the
four out of every five church members
not In the Sunday school work to report
next Sunday for duty to keep the boys
in tho Sunday school by a wall of fathers.
And then we treat the boyn like children
and talk them out and sing them out of
the school by singing songs like 'I am
Je3us'' little Lamb,' or Two Little Hands
to Work for Jesus; Two Little Feet to
Walk his Way.
"Third Can he be brought in? Yes. It
has been done before, and It can be done
again. I know Sunday schools like tho
Grace M. E. Church, of Urbano, and the
Calvary Episcopal Church, of New Tork
City, where the boys outnumber the girls.
"Fourth How can it be done? Go for
them. Make them, know you want them.
Send young men after them. Believe In
them. Make your school hard to get Into.
Set a high standard and keep It. Boys
go for things that are hard to get.
"Fifth How can yon hold them? This
is the most difficult question to answer.
For every boy you must have a special
way. Be interested in them every day
in the week. Give them something to do.
Know and call them by name. Never call
a boy 'Bub,' Make It hard for the boy
to get out. Follow him up. Make allow
ance for tho boy spirit. Do not see every
thing ho does; use your blind eye occa
sionally. Have class organizatlona with
officers, president, vice-president, eecre
tary, and treasurer. Treat the boys like
men. Never say 'don't.' The way to get
tho boys to be good is to get them, to do
good. The way to get them not
to read bad books t to get them
reading good books. Visit them in their
homes and where they work. Have them
come to your homes. Be tactful. Be
their friend. Have sympathy with the
boys. Many a boy or girl could have
been saved from degradation by sympathy.
If you would win and hold the boys, you
must learn to love like the Nazarene."
After a sons: led bv Mr. Excell. the aiirit-
? ence was dismissed bv Dr. Lewis.

HEADY FOR THE PIONEERS
Preparations Have Been Nearly Com
pleted. Final preparations for the 28th annual
reunion of tho Oregon, pioneer Associa
tion are about completed. The attend
ance In 189 was the largest In the his
tory of the association, apd from present
Indications the attendance promises to
exceed that somewhat. ' This does not
come so much from jh advance in tho
limit a few 7ears ago. as by reason of
additions from the earlier years of those
who have never been members of the as
sociation before.
Pioneers of Oregon, wheresoever dis
persed, aro most cordially welcomed by
tho pioneers of Portland, and. the citizens
generally all uniting in the belief that
nothing is too good for- them.
In order to assist the Woman's Auxil
iary it is requested that donations of food,
cherries and flowers be ent to tho Expo
sition building not later than 10 o'clock
on Friday morning. Mrs. Robert J.
Marsh, Mrs. Marcus FJreeman, Mrs.
Thomas Moffet, Mrs. Seneca Smith, Mrs.
A. B. Croasman, the committee in charge,
will be on hand to receive all such con
tributions. Many generous contributions
havo been pledged, yet more are solicited,
because indications point to a larger at
tendance than usual.
Thoso who propose)' to make donations
of any kind, and who may find it In
convenient to deliver' the same at the
Exposition building, as above indicated,
will please notify Mrs, R. J. Marsh,
chairman of the committee, at the Ex
position building any time this afternoon,
from 1 to 5 o'clock, and the articles con
tributed will bo sent for.
Pioneers who are too' infirm to ake part
in tho procession may go direct from their
homes to the Exposition building on the
street-cars, if they deslr.e. They can
enter Music hall by exhibiting their
badges. The general public will not be
admitted to the public exercises until
all pioneers are seated, and none but pio
neers and husbands or wives having tick
ets will be admitted to the banquet-room
under any circumstances. For one day in
the year, pioneers are "tho people," and
should have the day to themselves.
Friends who are not pioneers should be
satisfied with having access to the "old
folks" 364 days out Qf 3G5.
Aged and infirm pioneers, who cannot
get to the Portland Hotel or to tho Expo
sition building, on tho street-cars, are re
quested to send word to that effect, with
name and "address, 't6' Mr, Himes. 184
Fourth street, today and up to 10 o'clock
tomorrow, so that all "necessary arrange
ments may, be perfecte'd regarding car
riages. The office of the secretary is at 184
Fourth street, near the .corner of Yam
hill, In the old Captain Qrosby house, ono
of the earliest frame buildings in Port
landprobably the third and badges may
be secured there. No on will be admit

case of a husband or wife who are not
pioneers, a special ticket. Resident pio
neers axo again urged to secure their
badges today before pioneers from the In
terior arrive. Badges of previous years
will not be honored. ,
Special iNottce.
It is very Important that all women hav
ing charge of tables, with their helpers,
should rjport at the Exposition, building
today, not later than'l o'clock. This Is
especially to be desired, so that none will
have to do more thou their share of
work.

UNDER THE GOSPEL TENT
DOT PREACHER EXPOUNDS SCRIP
TURES TO LARGE AUDIENCE.
Tackles a Knotty Text, 'but Comes
Out ob Top Appears Aiutloue
to Wla Souls.
Jack Cook, tho boy preacher, stands be
fore an audience and expounds the Scrip
tures, gives advice to fathers and mothers
concerning the way in which, they should
bring up their young, or pleads with sin
ners to forsake their ways, with tho
earnestness and self-confidence of a man
of 40. He 13 only 13 years old, so hl3
father says, and he does not look a day
older. He wears knee trousers and a big
white collar, like other boys of his age do,
but instead of playing marbles for keeps
and appropriating cherries from his neigh
bor's tree, he preaches.
The big tent on the East Side, near
Davis and Eleventh streets, was well filled
last night to hear Jack talk Whether
drawn there by a desire to hear the gospel
or from curiosity, the boy entertained tho
crowd while It remained.
Before beginning his sermon It was an
nounced that any ono in the audience
might propound Scriptural questions to
the boy, and that he, by tho help of the
Holy Spirit, would answer them. Several
of tho knotty old questions that have kept
up denominational tows and divided neigh
borhoods in the past were hurled at the
youthful preacher last night. He did not
hesitate to answer all that were given
him. Most of them ho handled pretty well.
and If some persons went there thinking
they were smarter for their size than
Jack, they came away convinced that they
were in error.
One old brother asked if the anti-Christ
spoken of In the Bible had reference to
any 'particular denomination. Tho boy de
clared that It did not, but that it meant
any forces, persons or things that op
posed Christ. Ho then went on to show
that even a preacher might come under
this head as well as the devil, or a
woman.
Tho father and older brother of Jack
travel with him. While tho collection waa
being taken, the brother announced that
they would proceed to vote on a text. Tho
audience was asked to suggest four differ
ent texts. The first one suggested was
I Timothy. il:12, "But I suffer not a wom
an to teach, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence." Jack's
brother expressed doubt of this text get
ting many votes in the audience, as the
women were in the majority. When it
came to a vote, however, that waa tho
text chosen by a large plurality. The
youthful orator showed signs of disap
pointment but said nothing to indicate as
much. Instead, he at once waded into
his subject. For a time it looked as if ho
would shut the women out, and the men
in the crowd were profuse with their
"amens." After showing how necessary it
was for woman to take a back seat In the
early days of Christianity, because of
the turbulent times, and the inclination
of bold, bad women to do all the talking
In church, and after further proving that
It was necessary to have a leader in all
things, he began to lean toward the wom
en. Then the responsive amens" from
tho male auditors became less fervent.
As the eloquent young fellow got onto
both sides of the question, and in a
truly orthodox manner showed that it was
good for all to do what they could to help
make the world better, so long as they
did it in decency and 'In order, the entlra
crowd went with him, and showed by un
mistakable signs and exclamations that It
was satisfied.
Jack's chief aim seems to be to save
lost men and women, and before closing
his sermon he made an earnest appeal
to those who wanted to be Christians to
rise for prayer. On this subject the audi
ence was not so enthusiastic, and Jack's
brother Joined In the appeal to thoso who
needed salvation. The father then arose
and urged the unsaved to turn to God.
All this time Jack, with true boyish, en
thusiasm, was standing on a chair watch
ing for results and earnestly pleading
with tho people. Only two manifested
any desire to be better. The senior Cook
declared this waB the most remarkable
audience he had ever been in. He said
that at no meeUng had so few shown
their desire to be saved, and again ear
nestly pleaded with sinners to turn from
their ways.
An after meeting was held and a large
part of the audience remained.
Photographs of the boy preacher are
sold at the door, together with a brief de
scription of his life. Tho book tells a
wonderful story of how the Holy Spirit
came upon the boy in Manchester, Eng
land, when only 10 years old. The father
was engaged In prayer at the time, and
found his son apparenUy In a trance when
he arose from hls knees. From that time,
the history declares, this unlearned boy
has been' explaining the Scriptures and
working for his Master.
Tho meeUngs will continue for two
weeks, and the boy preacher is well worth
going to hear.

Since Leaving Off Coffee.
"I wish to give my experience with cof
fee for the benefit of other people. I used
coffee for several years, and was a terrible
sufferer from dyspepsia. The doctor told
me not to use coffee or tea and put me
on a light diet, and I felt better.
"Then I commenced, to drink coffee
again, and had the same trouble come on.
"One day I told a friend about it, who
said If I would stop drinking coffee alto
gether I would feel better, and advised mo
to use Postum Food Coffee in its place.
"I tried the Postum, but did not like it,
so I told him about It, and he said I didn't
cook it right, that Is, didn't boll It enough,
and that I should use cream Instead of
j milk, and to make "sure I would use it, he
sent a pacicage to tne nouse.
"After I used that package, I would
have no more coffee in tho house. Now
I don't know what it is to have dyspepsia
and I can eat anything. I also give Pos
tum to my two children, and they are the
healthiest children you could find any
where. The youngest Is a boy 13 months
old, and we have been giving him. Postum
for seven months, thre times a day. Ho
weighs 30 pounds, and I know that Postum
is what keeps both of them so healthy.
"1 thank all people who have dyspepsia
get it from coffee-drinking.
"Yours, truly, Mrs. Jno. Stringer, 23 S.
