wno, on account of bavins lost a
fece of one of bis legs In a steamboat
iccldent. had been taken on as a boarder
the County Poor Farm, was expelled
!rom that institution for conduct unbe
coming a gentleman. The living there
ras so much more luxurious than what
Joseph bad been accustomed to that he
raxed fat, became coltish and seemed ln-
lned to run the place. It is the custom
the Poor Farm for the boarders to
ce only two square meals on Sundars
id to have a cold "snack" between

auia mi and carry, and when the steward
abjected, Joe got gay and began to juggle

sver the eye and cut a sash. For this
levity Joe was dismissed from the bed

No Home roit the Dog. A respectable
joking couple boarded a 'bus last even-
ig at the Grand Central Station and
lode up to a prominent hotel. They reg-
Jtered and were assigned a room on the
third floor before the clerk discovered
lat they had a little dog with them. Then
le sent up word that the canine must
Pome down and take up his quarters in
le basement, which was guaranteed to
ft comfortable, and where a soft rug
rould be placed at his disposal. This
leesage brought the head of the family
wn to the office, and he offered to
aarantee to pay for all damages the
Ice might cause, but said he could not
ear to the dear little thing's being put
way in the basement. It had been the
lonstant companion of his wife for the
last seven years, he said, and she would
lot be able to sleep a wink without it.
le clerk was inexorable: the landlord
id given orders that no dogs should be
imitted to the rooms, and orders must
le obeed. Then the dog owner offered
pay for his 'bus ride and be permitted

Wholesale Burglar. E. W. Crichton
and J. M. Arthur were yesterday compar
ing notes and "Jollying" each other about
their losses from the depredations of
burglars. Crichton, mourned the loss of
ten pairs of blankets and several looking
glasses, whloh some enterprising fellow
secured on board the steamer Telephone
a short time ago by breaking through
four doors. His troubles were nothing to
those of Mr. Arthur, whose residence at
Mount Tabor bas been robbed five times
during tne past season. Mr. Arthur and
his wife were at the coast a good part of
the Summer, and the burglar roamed at
will through their house and took what
he wanted. He seemed to be familiar with
their house plenishing and chose only the
best articles, such as real lace curtains,
tne largest mirror and choicest pictures,
etc. He visited the house for the fifth
time about three weeks ago, and made a
most minute and careful search for things
which cultea his taste. From the selec
tions made it is supposed that he is fit
ting himself up elegant bachelor quarters
or going into the lodging-house business,
as none of the plunder has been found in
any of the places where such property is
usually disposed of. The last time he vis
ited the house he moved one of the finest
bureaus on the premises out Into a posi
tion for conveniently carting it away, and
also got a handsome walnut card table
ready for removing by packing the
drawer as full as possible with table
linen, etc It has been suggested to Mr.
Arthur that he leave a bill of sale of all
his remaining household goods in some
conspicuous place in his house where the
burglar will be sure to find it on his next
visit, and that he start life anew under
more favorable conditions. He, however,
thinks it would suit him better to meet
the burglar and present tho remainder
of tho goods to him, ad the only thing
he would ask In return Is to be Informed
as to what use the articles are to bo put.
Loooino Camps Shut Down. Perry
Hinkle, who has a logging camp on Coal
Creek, not far from Stella, was in the
city yesterday. He says that consider
able number of logging camps along the
Columbia have closed down for the Win
ter, some large ones, and some small
ones. The camps which have closed down
are principally ones in which horses are
used for hauling the logs out to the river.
and mostly those in which the logs have
to be hauled for some distance. The
heavy rains have made the logging roads
impassable for teams, and it does not
pay to corduroy or "puncheon" them.
Puncheoned roads are also bad for horses
to be worked on, and soon disable them.
Owing to the number of camps shut down
thero Is no overplus of logs accumulating,
as there are only about as many got out
as tho mills can use, which Is a very
satisfactory condition of affairs for the
loggers, who are operating their camps.
Wht Policemen Were Removed. The
discharge of H. H. Hewitt from the police
force for conduct unbecoming an officer
was necessary, according to the Chief, of
Police, for the reason that he took a
trip over to the East Side several weeks
ago and became Intoxicated. Hewitt was
not on watch at tho time, having the
Union Depot beat on this side of the
river, and might have been excused if
he had not made a show of himself 1a the
presence of a large number of people.
This Is the statement of Chief McLauch
lan, who said it is necesssary to discipline
the force. It is reported that about a
month ago Hewitt visited a North End
dive and was relieved of his watch and
money while he was having a good time,
but the Chief states that this affair was
not made kiown to him. W. L. Pang
burn was removed as patrolman, the
Chief said, on complaint of a crib woman.
Bert Farrell in Alexandria. A let
ter lately received from Bert Farrell In
forms his friends that he was in Alex
andria, Egypt, early this month, and was-
preparing to go to Jerusalem. He suc
ceeded In gaining admission to St.
Peter's, while in Rome, and saw the Pope,
and from the contrast between him and
the 20,000 other pilgrims in the church,
mostly Rusians, he was recognized as one
of the faithful from far-off America, and
was honored with a special salutation
from His Holiness. Mr. Farrell writes
that Jerusalem is as far as he is golns
on this occasion, and that he will take
the back track from there. To continue
on to India, China and Japan and home
across the Pacific would prolong his ab
sence soma three months, and he has not
that amount of time to spare.
En Route to Umpqua. F. M. Thomp
son arrived yesterday from Atlanta, 111.,
and left last night for the home of his
uncle. ex-State Senator John Emmett, at
Umpqua Ferry. Douglas County. Mr.
Thompson was here six years ago, and,
after recovering his health In this Ore
gon climate, returned to Illinois. He has
again returned to regain his health, and
will make his home here permanently.
Mr. Thompson says there "will be a large
immigration from the vicinity of Atlanta
to Oregon, as soon as the desiring Immi
grants can dispose of their holdings. He
is partial to the dry, mild climate of the
Umpqua Valley, and considers that tho
healthiest section of the United States.

TO RAISE CHURCH DEBTS
GOOD WORK OF PRESDDISG ELDER
L. E. ROCKWELL.
Methodist Congregations Getting
Into Good Condition Affairs of
the East' Side.
Dr. Li. E. Rockwell, presiding elder for
the Portland district, has been very busy
since he entered on that work, but had
time to spend Thanksgiving at his home
on the East Side. He says that the
churches under his care are enjoying
much of the prosperity that has come to
the country. Those which have been
carrying the burden of debt, he said, are
making preparations for lifting the debts.
Five have already started in that direc
tion, and will certainly succeed. Dr.
Rockwell said he should encourage that
kind of work, as a church debt Is a mill
stone around the neck of the society.
He expresses the hope that every church
in his district will soon be freed from
all debt. He said that the little society
at Knappa, Or., Is struggling manfully
to get the new building, furnished. Some
Portland people have been helping in
getting furniture and in seating the audi
torium. At Warren, the new church will
bo dedicated one week from next Sun
day, practically without debt On the
whole, Dr. Rockwell Is pleased with his
work, and Is looking for a successful year
In all lines.
The pastor and members of the Wood
lawn Methodist Church have till the 1st
of December In which to pay a debt of
51000, which hangs over the church and
manse. On the 1st the mortgage becomes
due, and must be paid. Revl Andrew
Monroe, the pastor, and the members, who
have been making a vigorous effort to
raise the money, are succeeding finely,
over $700 having been secured already,
and the rest is in sight. The owner of
the mortgage has thrown off several
years' Interest as her contribution, which
is considerable. It is expected the whole
sum will be made up by Sunday. Other
churches in the city have been helping to
raise the money.
Thankful He Is Alive.
Dr. Chambers, a well-known East Side
physician, Is very thankful that he Is
alive, and yesterday ate his Thanksgiving
dinner In the proper spirit He has fully
recovered from a series of accidents that
befell him the past few months. First,
he had his great toe operated on for an
ingrowing nail. He was then called out
to Montavilla to attend a patient, and
while there the patient rocked on the
toe and crushed it so as to necessitate
another operation. Shortly after recov
ering from this, ho was called out to
Lincoln Park after dark, and It was
necessary to Jump across a deep ditch.
Here he miscalculated and fell short of
the other side, striking his shin a fear
ful blow on a plank and straining him
self severely. For some time he lay per
fectly still, thinking of course that his
leg was broken, and wondering how he
was to get home, how long It would take
him to get home, and how he would pay
his $500 subscription to the new Presby
terian Church; and many other things ran
through his mind before he tried to get
on his feet. He got up on what he sup
posed was the sound leg, and carefully
examined the other one to locate the
fracture, but to his delight he could not
find It. After he recovered from that ac
cident he met with another. He was rid
ing on his bicycle, when In gome way
the front wheel turned and he fell off on
the stone pavement with great force, frac
turing some of thebones of the back of
his left hand. That was the last acci
dent In the chapter. He is now fufly
restored, and as he ate his roast turkey
yesterday he uttered a fervent prayer
of thankfulness that conditions had been
no worse, and asked that the coming year
would be less accidental than the past
one had been.
Cheese Factory Relocated.
Tho cheese factory at Falrview has been
relocated on the land of A. O. Jackson,
which is within a short distance of the
Smith Memorial Church, and when the
buildings have been put up the factory
will be moved from the present location
on the Thomas ground. It Is thought
that the new site will be an improve
ment on the old ono, and more central.
Modern machinery will be used In the new
buildings. The need of more room has
been felt by the owner, A. Carlson, for
some time, and the new buildings will
be put up shortly. It Is desired that
tiie amount of milk used shall be In
creased about five times before the 1st
of March. About 1500 pounds of milk is
taken per day, and when this has been
Increased five times It will mean a great
deal for the dairy farmers on Columbia
Slough, and beyond the Sandy River.
Thore Is a very rich dnlry district sur
rounding Falrview, which Is being de
veloped through this cheese factory. Milk
will be taken from east of the Sandy
and along the Columbia Slough. The mar
ket for the output Is practically without
limit, as the cheese is always first-class.
Falrview will become a rival of the
Gresham factory, which has Increased
Its output this year very largely. The
former factory, however, has the advan
tage of being on the .railroad to Port
land. Both factories are adding very
much to the value of the farms In that
part of the country.
Flafr-Ralafhg.
One of the pleasing events of the en
tertainment given at the Orient school
house, Pleasant Home, Wednesday after
noon, was the raising of the fine new
flag over the building at tho close of the
programme. The entertainment, which was
gotten up by Mrs. Foatherstone and the
teachers of the school, consisted of liter
ary and musical numbers, and short ad
dresses of a patriotic character. There
was a large attendance of the friends and
patrons of the school, and for them the
exercises were highly pleasing. The pu
pils also took much interest. At the
closo the handsome new flag was raised
over the building, and as It gracefully un
folded to the breeze It was saluted with
a great shout from the pupils. The school
deserves credit for Its enterprise In pur
chasing the flag, the money having been
raised by the school through entertain
ments. Visited His Old Home.
John B. Kelly, now of Philadelphia,
visited his old home at Pleasant Home
yesterday, where he was raised from boy
hood and lived for so many years. He
Is the son of the late Archon Kelly, a
pioneer of Powell's Valley. He was sur
prised and pleased over the progress that
section has made since he was last out
there. However, ho found that the old
cemetery there had been sadly neglected,
and will take steps to have it repaired.
Fences have been torn down and cattle
and sheep run over and desecrate the
graves. Before he returns to Philadelphia
he hopes to have the fences restored and
the cemetery repaired. While at Pleasant
Home, Mr. Kelly met many of his old
friends, and he had a pleasant visit with
them.

PJ3ER OF S0USAS BAND.
Return, of the Royal Marine Band
of Italy.
In order to fill a Winter's engagement
In New York City, the Royal Marine
Band of Italy must cut short the Pacific
Coast tour and will be able to give only
two performances on the return to Port
land, namely, Sunday afternoon, Decem
ber 2 at 2:15, and Sunday evening at 8:13,
at the Exposition building. They leave
late Sunday night direct for the East.
Popular prices will rule 50 cents for
either performance.
To those who have heard this most ex
cellent band no word of commendation is
necessary. For the benefit of those who
have not heard It, let a critic in The Sun
day Oregonlan be quoted:
"These Italians play our own National
airs with a splendid dash and go that
drives every American among us half
mad with delight; their orchestration of
Mendelssohn shows almost a German per
ception of 'clang-tint'; they are even able
to infuse melody Into Wagner; but It
is in the Italian music of Verdi, Rossini,
Donizetti, Mascagni and the rest that all
their native fire, dramatic Instinct and
passionate sense of beauty blossom
forth.
"Everyone must have observed the pe
culiar softness and mellow richness of
tone that characterize their brass Instru
ments. There was none of that strident
harshness that usually grates upon the
ear in even our best American and Ger
man bands. One reason for this is the
use of trumpets in place of cornets. A
mellow effect that approaches more near
ly the human voice is thus produced; for
the trumpet takes the soprano part In the
score; Mlnolitl uses only one cornet,
where Sousa, In a band of about the
same number of Instruments, uses four.
Another difference to be noted is the
complete absence of the slide trombone,
the most incorrigible of all instruments.
.Sixty years ago this was In vogue In Italy,
but now It has almost entirely given place
to the valve trombone, because this is es
teemed by Italians as more suitable for
melody."

opportunity of seeing the brilliant young
comedian, Frank Desbon, vho is one of
America's most popular fun-makers, In
the lateBt and greatest New York sensa
tion. "Isle of Champagne," which is one
of the best theatrical properties in Amer
ica. It is proving a veritable gold mine
to Manager Grau, for the theaters every
where have been filled to overflowing.
Tho engagement of the Grau Opera Com
pany In Seattle was a record-breaker in
point of receipts. The coming of Grau to
Portland has been a long-looked-for
event, and no doubt will be received hers
as it has everywhere, by a packed housp.

ment on the principle that It will make

taking it in. without the necessity of do
ing much thinking to follow the develop
ments of the story, will find "A Breezy
Time." which la to be seen for the week
at the Metropolitan, to possess all the
requirements. The comedy, while old In
years being replete with catchy music
and entertaining varieties, never fails
to please Its auditors. The comedy mado
its first visit to the Pacific Coast last
season, and Is naturally no stranger to
theater-troers. but Is pleasantly remem
bered by all who witnessed the perform
ance on tnat occasion, wiien it iiiuua
many friends, who will be pleased to
greet the return visit. While the plot is
not such as would cause a person to won
der how to follow It, the action is fast
and furious, and the audience is kept in a
roar of laughter from the opening act to
the close of the performance.

One of the best attractions of the sea
son, and one that Is all it claims to be,
really productive of an unforced laugh.
Is "My Friend From India," which comes

commencing Sunday, December 2. The
company this year Is exceptionally good,
and is headed by Miss May Vokes, the
original Tilly in the Bijou Theater, New

class vaudeville numbers in this year's
production of "My Friend From India,"
making it more attractive than ever.
KlpUnsr's Return to Grace.
New York Tribune.
Anxious readers of Mr. Rudyard Kip
ling, who have watched with increasing
sorrow the flagrant waste of his abilities
in the writing of stories like those oi
"Stalkty & Co.," or In the composition,
of vixenish diatribes like those which
have been offered to us in the guise of
letters or "stories" on the South African
war, may recover their confidence in him
within a short time. Tho first pages of
"Kim of the Rishtl" have appeared in
the December number of McClure's Maga
zine, and while Mr. Kipling's previous
attempts at novel writing have not In
clined us to expect much from his latest
excursion Into the field, there is at least
a renewal of his old style In this opening
Installment of "Kim," It is free from
the bumptiousness which has lately made
him almost Impossible to read. The small
boy who Is the hero of the new story is a
Dress Suit

Thanksgiving Day
or any
evening affair.
It Is the proper thing for gen
tlemen who dress up to date.
