THE HOENING OEEGONIAN, THTTRSDAY. OOTOBEB 4, 1900. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amoiements Today. 2IAHQUA34 GRAND "Quo Vails?" CORDRA.TS THEATER (Washington street) "The Idol's Eye." IfETKOPOLITAN THEATEB"Klnff ot the Opium Riac." KREDERICKSBURQ. Seventh sad Alder Speci<tes. The PHE4BiO!T SrasoN. General freight ana Passenger Agent Markhain, of the Southern Pacific, Is convinced that 'the general public overestimates the num ber of Portland sportsmen who go out shooting Mongolian pheasants, trampling down grain stubble arid ignoring trespass notices. The special train that -went up the West Side Sunday night expressly for the convenience of sportsmeni to get them out into the bird country at the be ginning of the shooting season, had but 5 patrons, -when nobody supposed the num ber -would fall short of 100, and few would have bees surprised if three times that number had gone. Now Game Warden Quimby himself returns from a two days' hunt and reports unsatisfactory results. He says the hunting has been generally disappointing since the season opened. Sunday afternoon he drove up to Scrog gin Valley, in Tamhlll County, and the road was literally lined with flocks of pheasants. The sun was shining, ahd the weather was fine. Next day it was cool and cloudy, and some rain fell, and the birds kept to the brush, as if legal .notice under seal of a court had been served upon them that they were tc be fair game on that day. This was disap pointing to hunters, who were prepared to find the birds in the fields. Mr. Quim by also says the fine dogs are not trained right for getting birds. They will not re trieve, and they won't follow the birds into the brush. The country-bred dogs will do both, and are of great assistance to the hunter. Farmers now cut their stubble so short that it does not conceal the dog, and the bird sees him and makes for the brush, and the dog that is too high-toned or too ignorant to follow into the brush is of comparatively little use to the pheasant hunter. A few were suc cessful in their hunt at the opening of the season. Richard Scott, of Milwaukee, said a party of hoys from his town ro turned yesterday morning from Linn County, bringing 75 birds, 16 of whloh were old ones, weighing four pounds each. "Watt Montleth, who hunted near Mc Minnville in a country supposed to over flow with pheasants, reports only a fair bag, and he usually gets birds where there are any to be shot. Shot Her Best Potet. An angry woman writes to The Oregonlan from Uillsboro that on Tuesday a young man, tall, clad in hunting costume, dark suit, with stockings to the knee, and a red cap, shot a fine "young game pullet," be longing to her. The pullet was peaceably feeding along the garden which skirts the xoad. How careless of the little pullet! The new huntsman, his bag comfortably empty, saw the pullet, and fired 100 yards from the house, The shot was startling. The "lady of the house" came to the oor. He saw her watching him, and did not cross to get his game, pretend ing to be looking at the ferns across the road. When she went out to feed her chickens, she found the pullet shot through the shoulder, and "it looked so ill." It will likely die. Now! The writer concludes: "We are peaceable citizens out here, and work hard for what we have, and we don't intend no such starved chicken eaters shall rob Us in that way. If he will come to my house I wilL cook a chicken for him and try to fill him up, but if any more shooting is done near here, we will prosecute." So there! Crooks Must Go. Hobos, crooks and ex-convicts, who have been flocking Into the' city since the first approach -of crisp Winter weather, are being dally ordered to leave by Chief of Police McLauchlan. Jl& soon as the members of the fraternity show their well-known Jaws and low fore heads, the policemen recognize their game Immediately. "The Chief would like to have a talk with you," the patrolman, usually suggests, pleasantly, in the courbe of a conversation, in which yarns are swapped, and news of "guns" and "cop pers" exchanged with surprising freedom. This suggestion is" received with wry face, but unless there is a job in sight it suffices to send dally to the ponce station half -a dozen Ill-asBorted men, some flashily-dressed bunco steerers, others coarse and rough and brutish. Chief of Police McLauchlan again' re ceives them pleasantly. In fact, there is a farcical element in it. Officers and the suspicious ""guns" vie in politeness, but the Chief has the upper hand. The in terview over, the visitor either leaves, the city in 24 hours or gets sentenced for vagrancy when picked up again. Championship Biluards. The billiard committee of the Commercial Club has arranged to open the season with a se ries of championship games, both for billiards and pool, and has sent a. pro posal to the officials of the Multnomah Club for an interclub handicap tourna ment. At the Commercial Club the fol lowing plan has been adopted: Twenty billiard players and 20 pool players are divided into five sets or classes, of four each, and if it is found necessary the four members of each class are handi capped, making it possible for the winner to play the same number of games aa every other one must play. It is proposed that the winners of these five sets shall be matched against the winners from the Multnomah Club, selected by a sim ilar competition, the men to be handi capped by the joint committees of the clubs. At the Commercial Club this tour nament will be continued until the first and second winners are known, and they will be awarded two very fine cues. Should the Multnomah Club accept this proposal, it is believed greater interest will be taken in the game. Timber Pest. E. Thomas, a Beaverton farmer, brought in a branch of "bull pine" from his place yesterday, which was badly eaten by a pest resembling the cutworm which ravaged potato patches last Summer. The worms build a large nest of the pine needles, which they chewed up and deposited in the form of a pine burr on the branches. In the in terior of this nest they have their head quarters, enjoying the society of big, black ants and a lot of small files which assumed a lrvely motion when the nest was disturbed. The worms, too, are able to scamper off at a lively rate when dropped from the branch. Whether it is a new timber pest or merely a colony of cutworms preparing to.put in the Winter on the branches of the bullplno it will take an Oregon Agricultural College pro fessor to decide. Barut Frosts. Nights have been chilly in Portland of late, and overcoats have felt comfortable, though they have not been indispensable. On the higher eleva tions, away from the river, light frosts have appeared in the early morning, but Hear the river the tomato vines have thus far been saved by the fogs which arise from the surface of the water. Heating stoves have been put up in dining and sitting-rooms, from which they had been removed in the early Summer, and the family circle again hovers about the fire place to enjoy the long evenings. Al though mild, the weather begins to ad monish people In this latitude of ap proaching Winter. Roads xn Finh Condition. County roads and cycle paths are now in fine condition, as the Summer dust has been laid and constant wear has had a harden ing effect on the surface of the thor oughfares. Driving and wheeling in the outskirts have become popular, and no sprinkling is needed to make the high ways delightful. The Fall thus far has J been all that the teamster or the wheel men could ask in this part of Oregon. Boys Brigade, Attention! The first meeting will be held tomorrow at 7:30 P. M. in the drill hall, 728 Everett street. Applicants for membership please he pres ent. Ages of admission. 12 to 18 years. Oregon MlnlngStock Exchange 10:30A.M. I Result op Eaklt Training. Robert Dowllng, of Eastern Multnomah County, came to The Oregonlan office yesterday to relate a story of a bird, which he thinks is a parallel to the account of a wool-bearing calf given a reporter by Henry Johnson, of -the Lower Columbia. Mr. Dowling says that he found a wood pecker's nest in a hole under the eaves of his barn, and surreptitiously placed in It one of the eggs of a bantam pullet. The eggs were hatched In due time, and the woodpeckers fed tho downy bantam with as much care as If It had been a mem ber of their own featherless and Ill-looking brood. Time wore on, and the chick took lessons in flying, which were at tended only by partial success. It was noticed, however, that its beak was ab normally developed, and that its voice bore a 'striking resemblance to those of its foster parents. But the most remarkable-thing about It was the fact that when it was returned to the barnyard, instead of scratching for sustenance with his young companions, it spent weary hours hammering at the fence posts, ap parently endeavoring to extract worms therefrom. Mr. Dowllng says that In the section of thb country in which he is raised, children who speak untruths are smothered in their early childhood, so that no liars ever attain years of dis cretion. Presentation to Mr. Smith. Maurice Barrymore Smith, whom every patron of Cordray's Theater knows well, was made a happy man last evening after the pex formance of "The Idol's Eye" had closed. It was his birthday; and as an expres sion of their esteem the employes at the theater had a little surprise planned. Mr. Smith was asked hurriedly to lock up in front after the crowd passed out ana meet John Henderson, of the company, behind the scenes. Without suspecting the object of the call, he hastened back, and was at once surrounded by the em ployes and orchestra, while Mr. Hender son began in deliberate tones: "Mr. Smith, this is your birthday. You are known and loved by every traveling the atrical man who has visited the North west during the past 10 years. -No better evidence of your fidelity and competency is needed than the fact that Mr. Cordray has kept you as his secretary ever since he has been in the business here. Ana others than traveling men hold you in esteem, your fellow-employes have chOBen this opportunity to express their" senti ments." With that some bundles were unloaded into the hands of the completely surprised secretary, and congratulations were pouring in. Mr. Smith was unable to express his appreciation of the kindly purpose of those present. Baker Citt Peosperitt. George Ii. Baker returned from Baker City yester day, where he will move with his family next week. As to conditions In Baker City, Mr. Baker reports that there is a large number of new .buildings going up, and that it is almost Impossible to get a cottage to live In. As fast as they are built they are rented. Next Spring there will be more buildings erected than In the past three years. A fine water system is being put In, which brings the water from a mountain stream SO miles distant, giving the city as pure water as Portland. A new sewerage system Is being built, and plans for paving the streets are being made. The mining men are com ing hack for the Winter, and the hotels and lodging-houses are crowded to their capacity. The new Masonic Temple Is about completed, and" the new Opera House is to be ready for occupancy Jan uary 1. There 1b no excited boom spirit in the town, but a .steady, healthy con dition of progress and prosperity. Broke Up thb Mollis maguires. James McParland, general manager of Pinkerton's Detective Agency for the Pa cific Coast, is at the Portland. Mr. Mc Parland, Whose headquarters are at Den ver, has been with the Plnkertons for over 35 years, and first attained celebrity by his success In" running to earth the Mollle Maguires, who had terrorized Pennsylvania In the early '70s. His work on that occasion kept him busy for over three years, during which time he toiled underground with the coalmlners, and ob tained data Whereby 22 men were hanged for murder and 45 sent to the Penitentiary for various terms. He is now making a business tour of tho Coast cities, look ing over the progress of the work, etc He will remain In Portland a few days and then take his departure for Denver via San Francisco. Portrait op Lincoln. At Cogswell's studio, 502 Goodnough building, there 1b a rare picture of President Lincoln. It is a reproduction by Cogswell himself of the portrait now In the White House, which was painted by him over 30 years ago by order of Congress, for which he was paid $3000. The portrait now here la a -three-quarter length, Instead of full length, but l'n all other respects it is an exact duplicate of the White House pic ture. One of its chief values is that it represents Lincoln as he appeared before the great labors, annoyances and worri ments of office had turned him Into a careworn man. The White House picture will, it Is said, be regarded always as the standard portrait of Lincoln, and this copy by the artist himself Is well worth examination. Lecture on Cape Nome. A lecture on Cape Nome was well attended In the First Presbyterian Church at Sellwood last evening. Rev. Dr. J. F. Ghormley, who had TecenOy returned from the fa mous beach, brought a number of views with him, and these were thrown on a screen, with fine effect, while Mr. Ghorm ley's descriptions were listened to with good attention. Mr. Arthur Kelly sang a .solo, "Ships That Pass in the Night," and Mr. R. H. Miller rendered the bass solo, "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep." Tho entertainment was given under tho auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society. Hammond Gets Another Road. A. B. Hammond, owner of the Astoria & Co lumbia River Railroad, is now In Cali fornia. He has purchased the Eureka & Klamath River Railroad from the "Vance family, of Humboldt County, together with a large sawmill and heavy timber Interests. The road, which Is 20 miles long, runs from Samoa to the Mad River country by way of Areata, and Mr. Ham mond intends to extend it to Crescent City, via Trinidad. Rival roads ate fight ing to prevent Hammond getting into Eureka, and he is likely to have a legal battle over the matter. No Action as to the Assessor. The Board of County Commissioners was in regular session yesterday, but did not take up the matter of the Assessor's fail ure to deliver up the assessment roll Index in accordance with the order served upon him Monday. At the Assessor's office It was said that Captain Greenleaf waB expected to be home today, and the Commissioners were disposed to await his return before taking further action ih the matter. Excursion to Hood River Fruit Fair. -iTo accommodate thoBe desiring to visit the fruit fair at Hood River, the O. R. & N. Co. will put In effect on Friday and Saturday a special low rale of $1 for the round trip, Including an admission to the fair. Trains will leave Union depot at 9 o'clock In the morning, and leave Hood River at 3:05 P. M. and 5:50 A. M. This is an excellent opportunity to see what Oregon can do In the way of fruit ralslng. Apples Going to Waste. Writing to Secretary Dosch, of the State Board of Horticulture, A. H. Carson, of Grant's Pass, commissioner of the third horti cultural district, says: "The premature fall of the apple crop In this section haBs been very great. My estimate of June 1 was for 80 per cent of -a crop, but the fall has been so great that our people will not market over 40 per cent of a crop." Generous Unknown Contributor. A well-dressed man, of middle age and pros perous appearance, called at the Cham ber of Commerce office yesterday and handed $25 to Assistant Secretary Mas ten for the Galveston relief fund. He de clined to give his name. Mrs. S. A. Heilner and Miss Millie Hellncr are at the Vendome. At home Saturday and Sunday afternoons: Bullet in Knbh Eight Years. Thom as H. Tongue, Jr., son of Congressman Tongue, of Hillsboro, has been at Good Samaritan Hospital four weeks for an operation by which a bullet was removed from the bone of his leg near' the knee joint after it had been there eight yeara. While he carried the ball, tho young man enjoyed robust health most of the time,, and he was a good football player, but periodically he would have serious trouble with his, knee. It would, give him severe pain and suffering for .a time, and then heal again. By the aid of the X-ray, which was unknown when the young man received the injury, tho bullet was located, and a surgical operation was de termined on. The "ball was completely lm-. bedded in tho bone just below the knee. It was a large ball, 44 caliber, and upon penetrating the bone It battered and spread. But the thickness of an eggshell separated It from the joint. It has been succcssfully removed, and the young man Is well on his way toward recovery. It is not expected that there will be any permanent harmful effect. Mr Tongue owed the presence of the bullet to the ac cidental discharge of a gun. Woman's Presbtterial Meeting. The semiannual meeting of the Woman's Pres byterial was held In the Calvary Church yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Edgar P. Hill led the devotional exercises and the pres ident, Mrs. W. S. Holt, was In the chair. Reports were read by the secretary, Mlsa Agnes Kelly, and the treasurer, Mrs. E. B. Ooman Total contributions of $1635 95 were received. After a spirited discus sion, it was decided to dispense with the Fall meeting of the presbyterlal, tho conclusion being that the society woula profit more by devoting all energies to the annual Spring meeting. Papers arous ing great Interest were read by Mrs. S. L. McCommon on the "Freedmen"; Dr. Eliza Leonard's letters on life at Pekln, by Mrs. James Wilson; "Mormonlsm in Oregon," by Mrs. Duane Terry. The meeting1 closed wth a discussion on "Better Work," led by Mrs. E. P. Moss man. Livelt Runaway. First street, be tween Morrison and Yamhill, was tho scene of a lively runaway yesterday noon. A couple" of cayuses hitched to a coal wagon parted their moorings and set sail for South Portland. A well-bred and-neatly-groomed horse attached to a buggy was tied to a telegraph pole right in the lino of march, and, like the Innocent pup In a free-for-all dog fight, he was gath ered In, stripped of his harness and shunted Up on the sidewalk. The coal wagon was heavier than the buggy, and it jammed the latter against the tele graph pole and left It a total wreck. In tho mix-up the cayuse that was trotting next to the pole lost his feet and slid over on the sidewalk. His companion did not work well single, so the runaway came to a sudden end, less than half a bldcK from where it started, but with damage and excitement enough for a mile run. Death tf Mrs. W. ti. Noon, Jr. Mrs. Jannio Bell Noon, wife of W. C. Noon; Jr., and daughter of T. J. Johnston, of this city, died at St. Vincent's Hospital early yesterday morning. She had been at the hospital a week, where she had gone to have an operation performed. Her friends believed she was on the road to recovery, but her constitution, as a result of a recent attack of pleurisy, was too frail to stand the shock. Mrs. Noon was born in San Francisco, but had lived in Portland since a child. She wa,s of a moBt generous and charitable disposition, and her unassuming kindness toward all won for her the esteem of a large circle of acquaintances, who were shocked at the news of her unexpected death. The funeral services will be held at the home, on East Third and Halsey streets, at 1 o'clock tomorrow. For Adoption.

FOR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN The selfishness exhibited In the building of smoking or library cars for the use of men is hardly selfishness, after all; its merely a case of evolution, these products being so many finger post3 leading up to the strictly modern electric lighted obser vation car, such as is run by the Northern Pacific on the "North Coast Limited" dally from Portland to the East. We have 10 of these trains, composed of eight cars each, and by actual count there are 291 electric lights on the train, 54 In the ob servation bar alone. Just think! what a blaze of light! It Is so In all the cars. Two electric lights in each section in the standard sleeper. Electric fans In both the observation and dining cars for venti lation purposes.

Portland has a fine lot of piano-men: they are all good" fellows; they "all sell reputable goodB; we have naught but praise for our competitors; we never abuse their goods; we don't want to .build up our' business by tearing theirs downr we want to succeed, and we want them to succeed, too. . ' Nevertheless, as we havo often said be fore;,, throw a stone at a parcel of dogs, and, the one that gets hit will howl. A dealer who will call his rival a "Jim-crow plano-pedlar" or speak of him as' a "would-be competitor,"' or cair him a "preacher," or a "Jonah," is tho dog that howls. When he makes a sale he whoops things up; ho rushes Into print: he tells the public that he has sold a piano,, and to whom he has sold it, and If business deed not keep up he prints it again and again. Possibly ho will say that he has sold a piano to the best teacher In town, or to the greatest pianist (and all tho other teachers and pianists are down on him for saying it, and he loses business on account thereof). It is the hindmost dog that yelps the hardest and longest, and when It comes to barking, a dog might as well bark at the moon as for an ordinary dealer to say anything against the pianos we represent. Long before any dealer, in this city Saw thn light of day, such pianos as the Knabe, Hardman, Sohmer, Steck or Fischer had a world-wide reputation, and it was only very recently that the Luq wig, a newer piano, actually took the second prize at the world's fair, in Paris, In competition with the world. Go into most any elegant residence in the City of Portlandi go among the profession and amoiur the music teachers of the North- west, and ask them, "From whence did you get your piano?" and moat always tliiu, tori!! otiv "TJVn From the Wiley B.

And in mak-. lng this statement we need not reflect In any manner on our competitors' pianos Still, When once a dealer becomes sour and sarcastic toward all the other dealers, there must be some cause for It May It not be -that he Is In dally contact with something that sounds harsh to him. Per haps, after all, the tone of the very pianos he sells Is not In accord with his liner sensibilities, and he doesn't know it , ' Have you seen the new self-playing pi ano, the "Apollo?

WEBER PIANOS The critical musical person who wishes only the finest possible' piano, and who can afford to pay for tho very highest quality, has practically no course left blm but to buy a Weber. The Weber r piano Is the Instrument which has been Used by all later makers as a model, but the Weber still admittedly remains in an Isolated' position, for Its exquisite tone quality and marvelous durability have never been equaled by later makers. The Weber cases are strikingly In keep ing with the musical excellence of the piano. They are beautiful, and the very rarest woods are used in tltelr construc tion. Another carload shipment of the famous baby Weber uprights has just been received at Ellers Piano House, In .the new Music block, S51 Washington street.
