The, Italian citizens of Portland are preparing to ten der formal condolences to Queen Mar gherita of Italy on the tragic death cf ber husband, the good Kins Humbert. There are three Italian benevolent so cieties In Portland, and committees have been appointed from each to meet and confer as to the best mode of procedure. The Druids Italian Grove, Madrini So ciety and Colombo Society number. In the aggregate, over 500 members, and these members desire to make a demonstration against anarchy and assassination that will be remembered. A torch-light pro cession and speech-making are talked of, but the committee in charge of the prep arations have not yet decided upon the time. Humbert's assassin has no admir ers among Portland's Italian population, nor is anarchy tolerated in their ethics. They are entirely unanimous in their de nunciation of the assassin, and If they could lay hands on him the Italian cut throat would be spared the expense of trial, though not of an inquest. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Greslmm to Have Free Din 11 Delivery Other aiatters. "Within a short time at least the Gresham district, which is the heart of Powell's Valley, will become a free mail delivery district. under the direction of Postmistress Mc Coll, who has been postmistress at Gresham for several years. Mrs. McColl stated Saturday that she had been notified that the mail Inspector would be along soon and go over tho country and gather such information as will be needed in the establishment of the delivery. There is little doubt that the free delivery will be established, as the district contains sufficient population with the prescribed limits within a ra dius of three miles of the postoffice. Thero is some rivalry between Terry, on the Base L.lne road, and Gresham, and the people of the former point -would like to have the advantage of being the cen ter of the mail delivery, but Gresham will likely be the place. It Is central, every road in the county of Importance either passes through or connects with a road which does. It Is the central point of one of the finest agricultural f-ectlons in the state. A cheese factory Is located there that distributes about 51000 monthly among the farmers. A new schoolhouse Is to be erected soon. Some excellent business buildings are here. The Odd Fellows' lodge has a two story hall, and the place is In every way prosperous. All these matters will count with the mall inspector. The carriers, whoever they may be, will cover IX) miles on their routes in one day. They will have to know the district thoroughly and where everybody lives. There are several young men at Gresham who are familiar with the place and may be given the routes. This is a pioneer district. The Powells blazed their way through the brush out from Portland in the 50s, and hewed out a home. They sleep In the Gresham cemetery, but their work remains. The farms they cleared are the very richest and are adjoining Gresham. The Pow ells pitched their tent only a short way from where the postoffice stands. Among the pioneers were Mrs. Catherine Llnner mann (who still lives at Gresham), James and Jackson Powell, Alonzo Gates, John Eliot, Stephen Roberts. Archon Kelly, James Stanley and a few others. Steph en Roberts, a pioneer, still lives on the Powell road, in feeble health. He will live to see mall delivered at his door within the next three months. Adventures of Simmy Japrjcers. S!mmy Jaggers, who lives on East Fourteenth and East Couch streets, was alono in the house Saturday night, all tho family having gone to the beach. It was very still through the rooms of the house.v and he was sitting alone In his room writing some poetry at 9 o'clock, when he suddenly became aware some one was going stealthily upstairs. His father's pistol was in a drawer in the next room, but to reach It he would have to pass the head of the stars, and as he would likely ret his throat cut or get rhot In the effort, he decided he could not get the gun. Simmy wisely concluded that It was best to make a skip for the outside for help. He made a break for the back door and got out side, leaving his half-finished "pome" on the writing desk. Ho went to a near neighbor, who went back to the house armed with a shotgun. But the burglar was gone. The only thing found miss ing was the half-finished "pome." Young Jaggers was disconsolate over this loss as writing poetry Is generally hard work. He will hereafter lock all the doors, fas ten the window and look under the bed every night before retiring. City Auditor Devlin Went Doirn. Thomas C. Devlin. City Auditor, wheeled out to Pleasant Home Saturday, where he delivered an address to the old soldiers at the reunion. He saw a great many things that filled him with amazement, among which was a very handsome young woman riding horse back astride. He was then riding on the way home in the afternoon and thought it was really a very appropriate and convenient way of riding a horse. "While thinking very deeply over this and other things that he had seen on the camp ground, he did not notice that he was going very ranldly down a long hill at tho end of which there was a sharp turn In tho cycle path. His riding companion was on ahead. Mr. Devlin came to the sharp turn and then tried to follow the path. The front wheel of his bicycle slipped and then he went down and the bicycle went up. The Auditor hit the earth with the usual thud and the bicy cle jumped on his back. There was, quite a cloud of dust, but Mr. Devlin emerged from it all one piece. The only damage was the wreck of 'a pair of 57 trousers. The accident tickled some country boys at the farm across the way. Tveo Hnndnome Dvrellinj?. The dwelling of "W. P. Olds on Union avenue and Hassalo street Is well under way. The stone and brick foundation was completed some time ago, and now the contract for the building has been let to McHolland Bros., and they have started work. It will bs a large dwelling, containing eight rooms, and finished without regard to cost. The contractor's figures were not given, but It Is stated that the cost will be all the way from 51G.CO0 to 517.000. Good progress Is mak ing on tho residence of H. Alger, on East Sixth street. It is also a fine dwell ing, and will cost about 515,000 when completed. Eaut Side Xotos. Mrs. Dr. X. J. Taylor and family leave for Long Beach Tuesday, to remain the rest of the season. Mrs. H. G. Campbell and daughters An nabolle and Minnie, have gone to Long Beach for a month's recreation. A. Gellnsky and family have gone to the seaside for a few weeks. Their son Walter, who had a long siege of illness, went along, and it is expected that he will mend rapidly. Clinton Kelly's Cabin. Native Sons of Oregon, will make arrangements for the coming laVn social at the Odd Fellows hall, on Grand avenue and East Pine street this evening. The social has been postponed till this month, but It will be arranged for to come off at an early date. Dr. Wise, room C14, The Dekum. WBERE TO DINE. Our best advertisement is satisfied rat rons.

The first court journal kept in Multno mah County, being of the date of 1853, when Oregon was still a territory, con tains some Interesting items of old-time events, and also the names ot many pio neers who have long since been called before a higher tribunal, where jury duty is probably no longer required of them, and where litigation and lawyers are doubtless an unknown quantity. The court was then known as the Dis trict Court, and the regular term was convened April 6, 1S53. Hon. Cyrus Onley was Judge. The grand jury drawn and sworn comprised: Clark Hay, Felix Hick lln.

Travelers From Many States Say He "Will Be Beaten. If the opinions of travelers and tourists passing through Portland from the East are any Indication of the political sit uation, Bryan's defeat In 1S85 was a vic tors' compared to the trouncing he will get next November. Even the strong Democrats who ccme up from the South and who expect to vote for Mr. Bryan because he is the nominee of their party express themselves' as very dubious over the outlook. To ask the ordinary traveler how Bryan stands In the East Is to pro voke a smile, and they sometimes retort, "Does he stand any show in PortlandC" Business men from the Atlantic cities, farmers from the Middle West, planters from the South, politicians from the Na tional capital and commercial travelers from everywhere, all agree that Mc Klnley will sweep everything before him except the most ultra states of the solid South. Even Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho and Montana are placed In the Re publican column by these people, not one of whom has hope in Bryan's cause. They look for the boy orator to be beaten as badly in 1900 as Horace Greeley was in 1S72. Yesterday W. H. Weller. a retired fann er of Lincoln. Neb., registered at the Per kins, with his wife and daughter. The family has been tourinsr Alaska, and re cently arrived from Skagway on their return home. "Mr. Bryan will not carry the town of Lincoln, where he lives," Mr. Weller said on being asked about the matter. "Why won't he?" "Have you ever seen Mr. Bryan? Ever heard him speak? Then, why do you ask that question? The peo ple of Lincoln and of Nebraska are pros perous under the gold standard and do not want to make any bad plunges in the financial world. What do we want free silver for? Yet I don't blame Mr. Bry.n. He is making morftin going about the country talking fre"e"'silvcr than his ! ary would amount to if he were elected President." "Do the people of Lincoln notice that he 1s perceptibly getting richer?" "No, I don't know that they do. Mr. Bryan has a 15-acre farm outside the town and a nice home in Lincoln. If ne Is picking tip money he doesn't show it about home. Yet everybody believes that ho is making money, all right." APOSTROPHE TO CHILDHOOD Vacation Services Began at the Has-snlo-Street Church. Instead of suspending all Sunday serv ices at the Hassalo-Street Congregational Church during the month of August, as has been tho custom for the past few years, an experiment is being made this month, with a view to providing a hot weather service which shall be Invitlng to those 'who are unable to leave town. The first of these was held yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock, the usual hour of morning worship, the church and Sun day school services being merged into one. The order included the repetition of the First Psalm in unison and the Beati tudes responslvely, In which the members of the Sunday school joined. The ser mon by the pastor, Rev. B. S. Winchester, was an exposition of the Sunday school lesson for the day. The passage of Scripture .considered yesterday was Christ's teaching about greatness in Matt. xvill:l-14, regarding which the pastor spoke in part as fol lows: "This passage, which might be called Christ's apostrophe to childhood, has been well characterized as one of the most profound utterances of our Lord, and It is singularly appropriate that on this morning, when we gather for the first time in this special family service, we should have for our consideration Christ's words regarding the little ones and our relation to them. In our study of this passage it would seem natural to group its teaching around three suc cessive points in the progress of .the nar rative: The disciples' question, the Mas ter's answer, and the Master's warn ing. "In St. Mark's record of this Inci dent, we learn that, as the disciples wero on the way to Capernaum, they had been disputing with one another as to which of them was the greater. This dispute seems tc have followed Christ's teach ing to them of his approaching death and resurrection (which, however, they failed to comprehend), and very likely took place but shortly after the wonderful experience of Peter, James and Jahn with Jesus upon the Mount of Transfig-C uratlon. It seems strange to us, at first thought, that ambitions so sordid and selfish should find expression In such close"" proximity to experiences so sacred and exalted. And yet, It may be that this remark, 'Which of us Is greatest?', was In fact occasioned by these very experiences; by the thought of the Mas ter's absence and the query, naturally suggested In their minds, as to who should then assume the leadership, for their vision did not yet extend far be yond the bounds of a material king dom. "But while this may have been the occasion of tho remark, the real reason lay farther back, In the fundamental traits of human nature: This question, 'Who Is greatest?' Is but the expres sion of the desire for first place which Is common to all humanity, In all ages of the world and In all stages of advance ment. It Is perfectly apparent In the life of today. In our earliest childhood we are taught to enter Into rivalry with our playmates In the various games and sports of our school days, as well as In our lessons and more serious tasks. The question asked is always. 'Who Is the highest jumper, or the fastest runner, or the strongest swimmer, or the clever est student; who, in other words, is first or greatest?' And so Intense does this rivalry often become that the happiest childhood friendships are sometlm'es changed to bitterness, what might have been helpfulness becomes coldness and haughty disdain, on the part of the suc cessful one, and the strife" for absolute attainment degenerates Into satisfaction at having reached a relative superiority. And what we see in miniature, in our life at school, we find awaiting us In that larger school, Into which we gradu ate at maturity. Here, too, is that same heartless rivalry, the seeking for first place, eminence, or distinction. The very words we use Imply comparison of ourselves with others; Imply also the desire to triumph over others. We see It In the business world, where we call It 'competition.' We see It in the military world, and here we name it 'rank.' We find it In society, where It Is termed 'po sition.' In politics we speak of It as 'in fluence'; In scholarship as 'honor,' while even clergymen have been suspected of seeking after 'pulpits' under the euphe mistic synonym, 'greater opportunity!' This Is not to say that all mankind are Insincere, nor Is It to deny that there Is such a thing as laudable ambition; It Is merely to call attention to the fact that the desire to he first and greatest Is as widespread as the human race, and that the disciples, In asking this ques tion of Jesus, simply gave utterance to this universal desire and disclosed the human standard, which might be para phrased again: How high can I rise above my fellows?' "Tho Master's answer indicates that, however much we may seek to justify ambition, when we come to speak of the Kingdom of God, self-seeking has no place, but amounts rather to a contra diction In terms. His answer contains two parts. The question of first im portance for such questioners to consider, is not, How to become greatest In the Kingdom, but rather, How to enter there. And here It may be remarked that Jesus Is not speaking merely of a placo of happiness after death, but rather of a real' sovereignty of God over men's hearts here on earth. And the mere entrance into this kingdom, with all its oppor tunities, all its joys and all its fellow ships", means a 'turning from the human standard of a self-seeking ambition to the divine standard for human life. What this Is he illustrates by the concrete example of a little child, saying that not only entrance but greatness In God's kingdom depend upon the degree with which man realizes In himself the char acteristics of the child life. "These traits are all summed up In the Master's term, 'humility,' or an ut ter absence of self-consciousness, an ut ter disregard of self, a complete ignor ing of one's place, position and power, as compared with that of other people. But In this term are also Implied those other qualities In the child, so beautifully Illustrated as he heard the call of Jesus and quickly responded, nestling trustfully in his loving arms while the Master spoke; In the childlike candor, simpllclty and purity, which we all might covet for ourselves. "As we contemplate the child-like char acter, and as Its beauty grows upon us, the question sadly arises in our minds, How have "we become so unchild-llke? This question the Master touches upon Indirectly In the warning which follows. As he held In his arms that beautiful little life, and as he looked forth upon the great, eager, ugly, jostling world about him, and considered that all had been like this same pure little one, his loving heart must have swelled with in dignation at the false teaching, the bad example, the rough disregard, the unfeel ing irresponsibility of fathers and moth ers and friends which had made such a defacement of lives made In God's image. And in rapid. Impassioned utterances he .gives expression to his thought, warn ing his disciples In the most vigorous language, not to hinder or impede these little lives, that an Impediment placed In their way was worthy of death, that there was no excuse for the offended be cause offenses are unavoidable; that it were better to mutilate our bodies. If they are a hindrance to us, than to disfigure the .coiia-uke. urs eternally. Our-esttaate of these lives,- he said, must be more like God's estimate; we are not to despise them, br to Ignore them, but rather honor them with our highest love and tenderest care, as our Father does. How different God's standard for human life from ours not how far can I rise above others, and at their expense,, but how far can I raise others above their present condition, espe cially those who are weak and helpless and dependent?" STREET-CAR LINES. BUSY. TJnpx-ecedentetl Travel on all Port land Roads. Portland's street-car lines are doing an unusual business. Excellent service and the unusual attractiveness of the scenery on all the llneamake car rides popular, and visiting tourists often spend hours at a. time riding over the city, transferring from one car line to another. Few cities can be found in the. United States In which longer rides can be taken for 5 cents than In Portland, and one well ac quainted with the transfer system can easily get from one end of the city to the other on only one fare. Yesterday busi ness on all the lines was good, and cars were crowded, carrying excursionists in every direction. Both the City &. Subur ban and tho Washington-street lines car ded numerous visitors to the City Park, and the traffic to the Heights, St. Johns, Woodlawn, Vancouver, Mount Tabor and Fulton Park was good all day. The Ore gon City line had all Its cars well filled handling the heavy local traffic yesterday. The' Portland Traction Company Is run ning a seven-minute time schedule on the Washington and Sixteenth, Washington and Twenty-third, Thirteenth and Fifth street lines, a 15-minute schedule to Woodlawn and 45-mInuto schedule to Vancouver. In a short time now the system Is to be further extended in two directions.
