Crueltt to PooLTRr-Slnce the Hu mana Society has lost its police officer on account of the scarcity of funds to pay him. Front street commission men have become careless in regard to their I treatment of poultry, and the poor i chickens, geese and turkeys are having & hard time. An officer of the society I took In the situation on Front street yes- terday and read some of the commission men a lecture on cruelty to animals. He I found coops overcrowded and the Inmates J suffering for food and water. Severn coops of geese were piled In a heap, the ! poor fowls stretching out their necks and I reaching after water they could see In the gutter, but could not reach. Such i treatment of fowls makes them feverish 1 1 and unwholesome for food. Notice wa ' given that officers of the Humane So- j dety would personally cause the arrest of persons hereafter found mistreating ' fowls. Shipments of poultry to dealers I are very heavy and as It Involves con- slderable labor to give them proper atten- i ion la regard to food and water they are j often sadly neglected. "Wanted: A PmuumraoPiBT. Some I public-spirited citizen Is wanted to come j forward and help the police. Fifteen i thousand dollars will pay the salaries of j the men for the months of October. No vember and December, and perhaps there vrJl be money In the police fund after that "time. The Police Commissioners de cided that Portland cannot do without police protection even If there Is no money with which to pay at the present time. Salaries whl be jmld at some fu ture time, when taxes are collected, and in the meantime the various members of the force must get along without money, unices they have some saved up or can borrow from their friends. None of tho brokers will advance anything to the poiice on their salary accounts, and no bank has been found that Is willing to take the chances. The Police Commis sioners will certainly liquidate the back salaries as soon as possible, and If the xnen cannot do any better they can run 'ttck" until that time arrives. Bodies Found. The finding of the bodies of Nels B. Nelson, who was the second assistant lighthouse keeper, and Frank Relf, trimmer of the Cape Flat tery light station, has been reported by Captain Richardson, master of the light house tender Columbine, who was dis patched in search of the missing men. Information In regard to the finding of a boat and the body believed to be that of Nelson was obtained by Captain Richardson from the keoper bf the Car raanah lighthouse station, on the most southerly extremity of Vancouver Isl-i and, about one-quarter of a mile south west of the Carmanah Indian village. A boat bearing the Inscription "Cape Flat tery Lighthouse Station," washed ashore near this point October 30. The boat was picked up by the Indians. They le ported the finding of the body about two miles west of Carmanah lighthouse sta tion. Tho description given answered that of Nelson, The body was glvon a decent burial. Colored Colont "Want Land. A. D. Griffin, editor of the New Age, organ oi the colored people in this city, has re ceived a letter from Laurlnburg, N. C, asking what terms can be secured In purchasing farms In Oregon for 309 col ored colonists. The people have decided to leavo North Carolina, on account ot the new state law which disfranchises colored 'Oter. The writer of the letter represented that his friends are people of means who are able to pay for what they buy, but they want to know how land is selling and how their raco is treated out here. Mr. Griffin Is preparing a reply, in which he will state that good lard can be bought cheap in Oregon, and that colored people out here have tho ttnic rights nd privileges as the whites. An agent of the colony is ex pected on soon to look over the field. Not Goiltt op Trespass. Justice 3vraemer decided yesterday that a crimi nal charge of trespass cannot be sus tained unless the land trespassed on Is enclosed. Two teamsters, named Fuller and Baldwin, In the employ of tho North Pacific lumber mills, had been arrested for trespass on complaint of Messrs. Storey & Kern. A strip of land 00 feet 'wide In North Portland had been leased by the complaining witnesses from the O. R. & N., and defendants halng per sisted in driving over It, were arrested. The Justice held that a road had exlstod on the tract for 16 years, and although discontinued was still a matter of public necessity, as the land was not enclosed. Justice Kraemer admits that this de cision would include any lawn or yard not enclosed, but he thinks the aggrlevea party has recourse In a civil action. Injured bt a Fau James Mackin tosh, mate of the steamship Buckingham, tell from a slip at the Alaska dock some time Wednesday night and was found In &n insensible condition by the dock watchman yesterday morning. He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where lie soon recovered consciousness, but did not know how he had been hurt. One of his logs was found to pa broken and he had severe contusions about the head. It is supposed that. In walking along the dock in the dark, he mistook' the old slip for the new ono and unwittingly stepped Into space. He had money and other valuables on his person when found and the police ascribe the misfortune wholly to accident. Mackintosh Is known as a sober man, and had not been drink ing in the evening In question. Mat "Work" Portland. Victoria, B. O . papers note the presence In that city of a quartet of professional women mu sicians who have been trying to get up a. "benefit" concert for an orphans' home there, and add the Interesting inform, tlon that they are now headed for Port land. The Colonist says that they employ deceptive means to get money from busi ness men, though they are careful not to violate any law. If they have begun to "work" Portland the fact has not be come known, but on general principles it may bo set down that It Is never safe to pay money to strangers who solicit for a local charity. Our local philanthropists and workers in charity are well enough known to business and professional men. Old Resident Dead. George Bender, an old resident of Llnnton, died yestor day morning at that place, and his re , mains have been brought to this city for interment at Lone Fir cemetery today. He was a native of Lancaster, Pa., and was 86 years of age. Two daughters sur vle him at Llnnton. Mrs. S. A. Hamilton ard Mrs L. W Watts. The cause oi death Is ascribed to a general breaking dewn from old age. Important Change.

Myron Ferguson, a mes senger boy, who was wheeling ahead ot PreceU's wagon, could not get out of tlie way fast enough, so his bicycle was run over and badly smashed. Officer Cnurcft says a little girl at the corner of FeuYta and Washington narrowly escaped being run over and killed, and that Otto, who was sitting In the "Democrat wagon," with the lines loose In his hands, never paused to see what damage he had done when he ran over the bioycle.

"A Hot Old Time" comes back to Cord ray's Sunday night in the flush of a bril liant career, with nothing but victorious honors hanging to Its laugh-provoking belt, and with many new and talcing features added. The company Is one ot the strongest and most pretentious or ganizations ever seen In farce. Each member has been selected for Individual specialties aside from the ability as come dian or comedienne, and they give im mense zest and flavor to the ludicrous lines and situations of the elde-splltting comedy. Novelty Is ono of the guiding stars ot the success which has attended "A Hot Old Time," and. while there is much in promise, there Is more In fulfillment.

Vorhcis and Mesdames E-a Allen, Anna Suits, Bertha Gleeson, Beatrice Rice, Alma Bennett, Elba Kenny and Blanche Rose. OIc Olnon. Judging by the large advance sale of Beats for next Sunday evenlagt the en gagement of Ben Hendricks In "Ole Ol son" at the Metropolitan Theater next week will surely be a large success. This play seems to have a standard value In the minds of theater-goers, and needs only a brief announccmnt of Its coming to stimulate a demand for tickets. Mr. Hendricks gives an artistic portraiture of the part of Ole. and never descends to coarseness of "horse-play" to gain laughs. A dozen or more new specialties are introduced, the feature of the vaude ville programme being the singing of the National Swedish Ladles' Quartet. The engagement is for one week, starting Sun day, November 11. Doers and Ponlcn Tonight. Professor Barnes opens a two nights' engagement at the Metropolitan Theater tonight, and plays a special ladles' and children's matinee tomorrow at 2 o'clock, Introducing his troupe of educated dogs, ponies, goats, monkejs, and a trained lion.

OLD OFFICERS WERE RE-ELECTED Feeling Expressed That the Next LeffUlntare May Change the Commission. The Board of Commissioners of the Port of Portland at their meeting yes terday elected officers for the ensuing year, and authorized the executive com mittee to procure and submit to the commission plans and speculations for a new dredge. Chairman Wilcox pre sided and Commissioners Brown, Flan ders, Hill, Hughes, Ladd and Williams were present. At the last meeting of the board, which was the annual meeting, a resolution was adopted, postponing the election of offi cers, and providing that ail officers hold over until after the meeting of tho Leg islature. Chairman Wilcox stated that he had talked with a number ot taxpayers who were of opinion that the Commission should go ahead with Its work regard less of the approaching session of the Legislature. lhere were some things which ought to be taken up, wnich as a hold-over officer he should not wish to undertake. It was his Idea that the commission should hold its annual elec tion without waiting for the Legislature. Mr. Hughes was opposed to this, and of opinion that the members should have been notified that an election was to be held. Two members, McCraken and Mc Eachern, were absent. Mr. Wilcox said it was desirable that they should as soon as possible proceed to consider the. matter of a new dredge. As a hold-over officer he did not care to tackle the proposition. He would prefer that an election be held and new officers chosen to take hold of this matter. Hughos said tho Legislature might change the commission entirely, and he thought they might as well go aheid as they were. Mr. Ladd said that by waiting It would appear that they werd expecting a change. He thought it best that they should go along with their business in the regular manner. Williams moved that the resolution adopted at last meeting, by which the election of officers was postponed until after the Legislature, be reconsidered. The motion carried. Mr. Hill then moved that they proceed to the election of officers for the en suing year, which motion carried. Mr. Hill was appointed teller and the members proceeded to ballot with the following result: T. B. Wilcox was elected president; B. T. Williams, vice president; George H. Hill, secretary C. E. Ladd, treasurer; In short all the old officers were re-elected. Wlloox. Brown and Williams were elected as executive committee Chairman Wilcox said It was advisa ble that another dredge should be pro vided, and It would take six months or more to get one completed. It was therr fore necessary that steps be taken to procure plans and specifications for such a dredge. It Is Intended to be the same size and stjlo as the present dredge, which cost about 540.O0O. Mr. Hughes was opposed to building another dredge. In his Judgment, the present dredge had not done all It ought to do. His remedy for this was to pro cure a competent man to take charge of tho dredging, under the board, and then they might get better results. Mr. Hughes then entered Into a sort of friendly, confidential, general discus sion or the whole dredging proposition. He did not profess to be an expert In matters pertaining to dredges and dredg ing, and h,o was certain that none of the other members knew anything about these matters. He had never Intimated that they had not all done the best they could. He was willing to admit that If the dredge had done all she was expected to have done, she was an excellent machine, but he did not belleo she had done so much as reported. "In fact." he remarked to the board, "the reports on the work done by the dredge, are all d d unmiti gated humbug." Mr. Hugnes continued to give his Ideas on dredging at length, while the other members listened with interest. An occasional effort was made to show him that the work done by the dredge had been correctly measured, and If any thing underestimated, bur without avail. He was convinced that the dredge had not only not done the work reported, but had not done so much as she should, and ho favored the employment of an expert to superintend the dredging. Such a man would probably oust several hun dred dollars a month, but he would prob ably get two or three" times as much work done as now. Mr. Williams said the measurements made of the work done ought to be veri fied so that it could be shown whether the reports made were correct or not. Chairman Wilcox said the river had bee.n kept open, the pilots had been sat isfied, steamship men had been convinced that Portland was a safe port to come to for business, and tho reputation of the port had been established, and In view of these facts It did not appear to matter Just how much or how little sand the dredge had moved. His Idea was to have another dredge planned, and anv defects in the present one elimi nated. Mr. Hughes said one dredge properly operated could do all the work. Ohalrman Wilcox said he would like to have a committee appointed to exam ine the work done by the dredge and report their findings. Mr. Williams moved that the president be authorized to take such steps as he deemed advisable to determine thef truth of the reports made of the work done by the dredge last year, which motion prevailed. Chairman Wilcox appointed Messrs. Hughes, Williams and Flanders a com mittee, to employ such talent as they deom fit, to determine this question. Mr. Hughes at first declined, but finally accepted the appointment. He then of fered a resolution providing for certain records of the workings of the dredge to be kept dally, but this was laid on the table till after tho Investigating commit tee has reported. On motion it was ordered that the exec utive committee consider tho matter of procuring plans and specifications for a new dredge and submit them to the com mission. FEW PEOPLE LIVE IN LONDON Mcht Population of the Citr Proper Is Decreasing Rapidly. London City proper is losing the little popularity It one enjoyed as a place of residence. In ISO. It had a population of 112.000; today It has but a quarter of that number, says a London correspond ent. These figures, of course, represent the night population of tho city those who sleep within the limits of the old city. During the same time the day popu lationthose who do business or perform labor in tho city has increased. In 1855 it was 170.1S3; In 1SS1. S0L384. Those who have walked across London bridge about 9 o'clock in tho morning do not need to be told about the vast stream of human ity which flows 'cityward at that hour. But it Is almost incredible that no fewer, than 2,009,000 persons enter the city dmln a single period of 24 hours.

Graves & Co. 122.124-126 Sixth Street Portland, i Oregon tained number for 1891 was 1,186,091 and the succeeding ten years must have brought the fiflgure up to .OOJ.000. Ono cannot help regretting that tho per manent population should have suntc so low. No wondor the numerous and beau tiful churches are so empty. Tho cl.y is now little more than a congestion of warehouses and shops. The change Is particularly noticeable In such stree.s as Bread street, where John Milton was born and the Mermaid tavern once flou -lshed. But those were In the days when the green fields wore near and Islington was a country suburb. BRILLIANT ORGAN RECITAL An Overflovr Audience to Hear Trin ity's New Organist. Tho recital glvon last night by Alfred Lough, the newly appointed organist of Trinity Church, attracted a big audience that moro than filled the auditorium. After every square Inch of available space had been utilized for standing-room. a hundred or so disappointed people were turned away. The request had been made that listeners should refrain from ap plause, and the absolute sllenco of tho great audience as the programme pro gressed was most Impressive. Great va riety was shown In the different pro gramme numbers In order that all tastes might be pleased; and although essen tially heavy numbers could not be at tempted on so small an organ the "Maes toso" from the Beethoven symphony in C minor, and the "Pilgrims' Chorus," from "Tannhauser," gave some indication of Mr. Lough's Interpretation of the se rious style of the great masters. It Is easy to see that his tastes lies to ward the French school of organ playing. The Gullmant theme and andante were among the most delightful selections giv en, because In these numbers, more than in the others on the programme, he suc ceeded in preserving that rare grace of simplicity which is one of Gullmant's chief charms, and which, more than any thing else, separates him from the rather floral school of Batiste, with Its over strained sentiment. If Mr. 'Lough's ability to handle canta blle with delicacy and good taste was most perfectly shown In the Gullmant numbers, his mastery of complex harmonies and massive chord passages was most suc cessfully demonstrated In the "Pilgrim's Chorus" and "Bridal March." His work In these was thoroughly clean and clear cut; there was no slurring of technical difficulties. This, indeed, proved to be a characteristic of all his work on the manuals. Of his pedaling tjicre was not much opportunity to Judge, since he gave no heavy passages for the pedals during the evening. Possibly this was due to the small range of the pedal bass In the organ at his command. His registration showed skill and a thorough knowledge of his Instrument. Some of the stops In the Trinity organ are unusually sweet-toned, and he con trived to make these heard to great ad vantage. . Two lighter selections, rather hackneyed In character, were Sullivan's "Lost Chord" and Tobanl's "Flower Song," but as these appeal to a very large body of music lovers. It would, possibly, be hypercritical to find fault with their introduction upon a popular programme. Mr. Lough has shown himself an organ ist of ability, with an exceptionally clean SEVERAL $18 AND .JPr" J&y3i All Colors. All the different weaves and patterns. All the new styles.

Famous Clothing Hou Crner Morrison and Second Streets 9 I The THIRD and MORRISON technique, a strong grasp of his Instru ment, and a bias for the brilliancy and sentiment of the French, rather than the more serious style of the classicists. It Is hoped that during his stay at Trinity ho will be successful In obtaining an or gan that will give him larger scope for his povs ers than the one now In use. He was assisted in his recital by Dr. jttorrisor, -whose delightful baritone was neard to. groat advantage in Adams' "The Holy City." He gave ulso the great aria "Is Not His Word Like a Fire?" from "Elijah," but in this heavy number he was hardly able to' do himself Jus tice owing to hoarseness. The charming andantlno from Hans Sltt's concertstuck for viola and orchestra was sympathetically given by Carl Den ton, a newly arrived violinist, from the Royal Academy, London. His work was that of an artist, and as such was thor oughly enjoyed. A Democratic Explanation. Salem Statesman. . When a representative of the Statesman called upon Dr. W. S. Mott, chairman of the Democratic County Central Commu te vflstprdav. he was aoarently absorbed In reading the latest issue of tho War Cry, but upon closer observation It was found that the doctor was holding this exceedingly Interesting sheet upside down and was probably meditating upon some subject altogether foreign to tho contenta of the paper. When asked for a explana tion as to how Bryan came to be caught on the under side of the landslide which Democratic leaders had so persistently predicted, the doctor laconically replied: "I don't know." This was elvedently true from the other remarks on the subject, made a few minutes later. Continuing, the doctor said: "I don't want to say anything harsh, but I actually bellev It was the lnflu enco of capital and concentrated wealth that disappointed our party."
