MERCHANTS TAKING HOLD PHiIi-HAVE. 10OO FEET FROKT AT ' r THE STREET FAIR. Auxiliary Will Bearin Taronsh Can vass for Displays Amons Vari ous Interests of Portland. The Merchants' Auxiliary of the Port land Street Fair have taken hold of their work with genuine enthusiasm and all will do their best to make the Street Fair, so tar as they are concerned, w greatest success. The committee will start out tomorrow to make a personal canvass of the city and will see as many of the merchants and manufacturers as possible between now and Monday. The plan accepted by the Merchants' Auxiliary gives to displays about 1000 running feet of frontage on both sides of Sixth street, as follows: From the north side of Morrison street to the middle of the next block north and from the mid dle of the block between Washington and Stark streets to the south line of Oak street. This will give 1200 feet, but on account of some center attractions a few breaks will occur, reducing the space to a"bout 1000 feet. No charge is made for space, but the exhibitor is expected to erect his own booth; the space is to be divided Into 10 foot sections, but where an exhibitor re quires more, as many sections will be allotted to him as he desires, or as near the amount as the number of exhibitors will permit. As it will be an impossibility for the committee to see all this week, it Is ur gently requested that everyone Interested In making an exhibit will send word to any of the committee or leave word at the Elks' headquarters, corner of Seventh and Washington streets. The committee have taken districts as follows: All of First, all of Second and. all of Morrison streets H. C Breeden, of H. C Breeden Company; Julius Meier, of Meier & Frank Co.; F. E. Beach, of F. E. Beach & Co. All of Third, Fourth and Washington streets Jonn Gill,, of The J. K. Gill Co.; Francis Bealy, of Sealy & Mason. All of FJfth, Sixth and Washington A. Feldenheimer, of A.

Reading' of official .reports showed the condition of the Columbia branch to be excellent. Mrs. Fisher's report of the fiscal workings was very encouraging. From the secretary it was learned that a new auxiliary had been added to the branch during- the past quarter, with a good membership. In. Mrs. Fisher's re port were communications from some of the missionary workers which had double Interest In view of the great disturbance recently sweeping Northern China. One letter was read from Singapore, another from Foo Chow, and another from the Hlng Hua -conference. , Devotional services in the mornlng'were led by Mrs. H. D.

SPOKE OF CHINESE MISSIONS Wife of Bishop Cranston Presides at 'Quarterly Meetlnsr. The regular third quarterly meeting: of the Columbia River branch of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was held yesterday In Grace Church, corner of Twelfth and Taylor streets. Mrs. Earl Cranston, presiding officer of this branch, was fortunately able to attend the meet ing, and occupied the chair. Other of ficers present were Mrs. A. N. Fisher, corresponding: secretary, Mrs. W. H. Bay lor, recording- secretary, .and Mrs. M. E. Whitney, treasurer. One of the most In teresting: visitors was Miss I D. Greene, who has Just finished a six years' term of missionary work In Northern India un der the auspices of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the church. Miss Greene related circumstances connected with the work there, described the peo ple, their customs and conditions, and sang snatches from the religious songs adapted to the language of the natives. Mrs. Cranston, recently returned from China, where she has been with her hus band. Bishop Cranston, added greatly to the interest of the meeting. Every mention of missionary work in that field and every letter or communication re ceived from those now there was ampli fied and' explained by her in such manner as to hring the members of the society more nearly in touch with their em issaries' than ever before. Mrs. Cranston' -gava no formal talk on China, but often John Kenny, Porter at St. Vincat's Hospital, Dead. John Kenny, who .will be remembered by hundreds of visitors at St. Vincent's Hos pital, Is dead. The end came last night, after four weeks suffering. His. funeral wfll take place from the Tiospltal at i o'clock tomorrow morning; interment Tn Mount Calvary cemetery. Mr. Kenny came into the service of St. Vincent's as nurse, in June, 1S75. For, a quarter of a century he was faithful to every duty, kind and considerate with patients, xealous In aiding the Sisters and their work, and courteous with the public. For the past 10 years he has been porter of the institution. There. is notf a reporter in town who had ocefci1 slon t get news from the hospital anjn time these past 25 years who will not re member Mr. Kenny's uniform courtesy and not one of them but will regret his death. Mr. Kenny's only relative In this coun try -.is -A sister, Mrs. Polndexter, of Con don, who was with him during his last illness, even to the end. GETS A CADETSHIP. POUTIiAKD COULD EASHT SUPPORT A LbfK '' TO MANILA. .. . , -- H. R, Lewis Asata,Preseata the SM- matloa and Points Oat Port- land's Great Opportunity.. Concerning tne shipment of beer from Milwaukee, spoken ofln "yesterday Or egonlan, H. It. 1fcwis "says: "2bt only would a direct line of steam ers from Portland carry all the beer, go ing to Manila, something like 156 cars per. .month, bill offerings of other mer chandise would fill a. COOO-to.h ship to" libr utmost capacity. This Is not surmise, but is an actual fact. The Portland Manila line Is not a thing- of the past by any 'means. "So much opposition was "met with from hostile interests in Portland that our ef forts here were discouraging', and we are now working In the Bast; and with excel lent prospect of success. The Chinese difficulties win undoubtedly retard the es tablishment of the line, but a direct line from the coast is assured. Eastern cap ital Is strongly in favor of Puget Sound as a. Western terminus, and this we have had to combat, with prospects of winning them over by the better railway connec tion here, and the advantagesrof the flour market "I am working in the Interest of Ma nila capital, yhich offers to take -any . proportion f fhe stock Up to one-half, necessary "to put the line in' 'operation, inasmuch as we can put a three-steamer line in operation forbis than HOO.000, with monthly salllngslSSttanlte and Sing apore, JirflfoeB seem as lf-somtf of thejblg ' capital of 'Portland might come forward.

Freights were never higher than at. the present time, and offerings for direct shipment to Manila are abundant, The establishment of this line -would, make Portland at once a first-class Ori ental export point and Increase the value ofi every interest In "the city.

Besides Donbllns; "Wheat Yield She ,,,W1I1 Harvest 400,000. of Flaxseed. F. W. Kettenbach. of the Kettenbach Grain 'Company, of Lewiston.- Idaho;' in conversation with tl Lewiston Tribune re porter Saturday said: MOur company has' "already sold to the fanners of this section, and by that I mean Nea Perces ' County alone. 1W.C00 wheat sacks, which wilt be but a small t drtlon of the amount .sold, as this is oniy xor tnoso portions or tne wneat neit wihe're the crops .arer ripening very rapid ly, and when you Tecollect that this is only a beginning 'with our concern, and that there are. others in the business, you can readily conceive how great will be the production this year.

Th deliveries of flax will commence the latter part of this month and the amount -mentioned . should pay the farmers nearly half a million dollars. Relative to the freight rate charged for the transportation of flax to the Chicago market I would say that the lowest pos sible rate which the railroads have been able to make on wheat has boon 30 cents per bushol, "and the agents, Including' "jr-i serves, tm Portland Linseed.

The case of, Albert "Brown, a colored man. of the North End, arrested on tho. charge of resisting an officer, precipitated in the Municipal .Court yesterday after noon a long debate on .tho rights of police officers to make arrests. Patrolman Warner had. arrested Brown early Mon day morning without a warrant, and on suspicion, as Brown was roaming the streets after hours. , Judge Smith, for the defense, contend ed that Warner had no authority to make the arrest as-the defendant had commit ted no misdemeanor or felony in the presence of the officer, and no one else had requested him to take Brown In cus tody. In resisting' the officer, therefore, Brown had not committed an offense un der the statute, and he cited cases In point No ether charge had been brought against him; the evidence showed he was not a vagrant nor -was he" roaming the streets unlawfully: therefore, he urged that the case be dismissed. Deputy City Attorney Davis, on. the other hand, argued that Warner -bad not exceeded his authority In making the arrest; that Brown was a suspicious character, roaming the streets after hours in violation of a city ordinance, and that no warrant was required. In resisting arrest therefore, Brown had made him self liable to a severe penalty. Judge Cameron will decide the case today. V "whatrlt-was- last AT CORDRAY'S TONIGET. COMING ATTRACTIONS.

It portrays life In a New England fishing village, where human Joves". and human passion aro as potent and 'Intense as in the great cities of"the country. In its simplicity the play Is as touch ing as "The Old Homestead," yet is replete with thrilling and exciting sit uations which carry the Interest of the audience to the end. It Is bright and charming In Its story of love and devo tion, refreshing with' its" suggestion of ocean breezes, and elevating, in the rug ged, truth and nobility of character which it represents. If the-' author had been invited to write a play in the interest of the Portland Street Fair fund (for whose benefit the play is to be produced), ha could not have provided anything that would be more satisfactory ' to a Port land audience than "Treasures of the Sea," The critics are unanimous in according the play high place In the dramatic liter ature of the country, and their opinions have been indorsed by the American pub lic wherever it has been produced. t la Architect's Hands. The directors of Mount Tabor School District No. 1 have placed the matter of, preparing plans for tho completion of two rooms in the Glencoe building In the hands of the architect who drew up the original plans of that structure. It is proposed to complete both rooms at once. as il is much cheaper on the whole to finish up both rooms, although but one will be .occupied the coming year. The building was so arranged that it can" be made an eight-room -structure, and' hence the rooms will be finished with this in .view.

It is the verdict of those who have but occasionally seen. Mr. Bryan during the past four years that- ha has aged greatly. When he was nominated In 1S95 he was but 36 years old, and possessed a virility and vigor that made him a man of mark In any circle. There was an alertness of eye, a mobility of mouth, a smooth ness of feature, an absence of the lines that denote care and mental and physical strain, and a musical ring to the voice. Today his eye 'is stern, the mouth. In re pose, is tightly closed, and there Is a me tallic sound, faint but yet distinct. In his voice. There Is a fullness under the eyes, and about them, little "crow's feet" Two well-marked lines diverge to right and left from the nostrils, and there is a deep Indentation In the chin where be fore were the merest outlines of a dimple. While Mr. Bryan hasbeeiv unable to convince a majority of the American people of the soundness of his logic. It Is a curious fact that he can in a few minutes' conversation convince even his stancheat opponents of his absolute sincerity.
