THE MORXING OKEGONIAK, FKIBAY DECEMBER 14, 1900. :iTY NEWS. IN BRIEF Amusements To 4a jr. lirAKQUAM GRANI-"WhyBmlth Ift Home." :ORDRATS-"Humaa Hearts." IHETROPOLITAJr "That Man." Rank op Portland's Poetovytoi- Postmaster Croasman Is in receipt of me report or tne Auditor of the Fostorace Department for the fiscal vear endimr June 30, 1900. It contains a tabulated statement of the population of the prin cipal cities of the United States at that time, and the amount of the Postofflce rec-ipts of each for the fiscal year. Ac cording- to this, Portland, -with a popula tion of 9tf.4G2, ranks as the 42d city in the Union In point of population, and 41st In point of Postofflce receipts, which for the -year ending June 30, 1S00, amount to $213,945 3L The net receipts of the Gov ernment from the Portland Postofflce, for the flscal year, after all expenses -were paid, amounted to $133,000. It might be supposed that a Postofflce paying such a nanasome sum would be furnished with all necessary facilities for the transac tion of business, but that does not seem necessarily to follow. The money order department has quarters adapted only to a village Postofflce. and people transact ing business with the registry department have to stand In line in the public lobby.

Lewis, of 'Monmouth, a set of 46 stereoscopic views, coerlng the entire display of articles in the City Museum. They are very fine specimens of the photographer's art and give a yery good idea of the contents of the museum. Mr. Lewis visited the mu seum about three weeks ago and as Col onel Hawkins knew what an artist he was frcm having seen the work he had done while out on the excursions of the Ma zamas, he at once insisted on him making a scries of stereoscopic views in the mu seum and he is more than satisfied with the results. "When further additions are made to the museum Mr. Lewis will pre pare stereoscopic views of them. No oth er style of picture is so well adapted to show up the beauties of shells, birds, etc, as a stereoscopic view. Death of an Old-Timer.

All old residents of the city well remember Tice, who was a very power ful man, being about 6 feet 4 Inches in height, and bony and muscular. For many years he was engaged in burning chircoal on the hills south of this city and supplying blacksmiths and tinsmiths be re. Japanese Troubles Ended.

The sale of seats for the engagement of Frank Daniels In "The Ameer" begins this morning at the Marquam, and it will open with a clean box sheet. A maximum limit of 10 seats to any one purchaser has been fixed. It is Mr. Daniels' opinion that "The Ameer" affords him the best vehicle he has ever had for the display of his tal ents. The scene of the opera Is in Afghan istan, the Immediate locale being the court grounds of the Ameer. The story Is described as being remarkable for Its originality and richness In humor, the central theme being the methods which the Ameer is compelled to employ to pre serve his life. Frank Daniels enacts the title role, and his Interpretation is said to be excruciatingly funny. Punctuating his interpretation are three or four topi cal songs, quite on a par wth his cele brated "Tattooed Man" in "The Idol's Eye." The production of "The Ameer" is set forth as being decidedly the most am bitious thing yet attempted by the Dan iels engagement. The scenery is under stood to be thoroughly In keeping with the splendor of the Ameer's court. The costuming Is written of by the critics as very artistic and effective. The company is much larger than it was last season. But the Daniels standard of voice and beauty is said to be wholly maintained. Helen Redmond Is Daniels' prima donna; Kate Uart his contralto, and Norma Kopp his soubrettc. The services of Rhys Thomas, the young American tenor, have been enlisted, and Will Danforth, Owen Wcstford and William Corliss are among the rest of the principals. Professor Gottschalk, the composer, lh the musical director. AT TXMPLE BETH ISRAEL. Additional to Sabbath, Exercises, There "Will Be Sunday Service. Dr. Stephen S.

Robs a House to Get Firearms Stolen Before by "W. "W. Scott. A burglar of playful tendencies and a kittenish sense of humor nearly cleaned out George G. Royer's house. In Wood stock, last Wednesday. The peculiar event of the robbery was that the robber actually stole the revolver and shotgun which had onl" been in the house a few hours, and which had been stolen last Summer from Mr. Royer's house by W. W. Scott, the burglar, now in the City Jail. Last Monday, when Mr. Royer heard that a quantity of stolen property had been found In Scott's room, he went to the police station and was pleased to rec ognize in the plunder a revolver and shot gun stolen from his house. He took them home. Mrs. Royer had occasion to leave her house last Wednesday, and on her return was nearly prostrated to find that a burglar had been there during her ab sence. Nearly everything in the house was turned upside down. WHERE TO DINE. Open day and night, always serving the very best. The Portland Restaurant. 305 Washington street, opposite Olds & King.

DB FROM HIS WOUND KOrtT.VER, WHO DEFENDED BIS AVAGES "WITH HISLIFE. He Was a Strong; Man, and Had De clared ne "Would Xever Allow Himself to Be Held Up. Lirkln C. Fortner, of Montavllla, who was held up and shot by a highwayman, near his home latt Monday night, died yesterday morning at 11 o'clock from the effects of the wound. His employers, the City & Suburban Railway, have offered a reward of $200 for the ar rest and conviction of the murderer. Since the snooting took place, Fortner was in an unconscious condition most of the time, and In his lucid Intervals was only able to give the police a meager description of his assailant. Mrs. Fort ner is left with four children to mourn the loss of father and bread-winner. For tunately the widow will receive $2000 from an accident policy taken out by her hus band only a short time ago, and some thing will also be realized from the bene ficial organizations of which Fortner was a member. Speaking of the affair yesterday, a Montavllla man, who had formerly em ployed Fortner. slid: "Fortner had worked for the City &. Suburban Railway for about one year and a half. He was a powerfully built man. and weighed about 200 pounds. The highwayman Is said to be of slight stature, and If he had not "got the drop on Fortner with his revolver, Fortner ought to have mas tered the ruffian easily. Fortner told his mates more than once that ho would never be held up. He was not only strong, but brave. When shot, he had exactly $52 in his pocket. He gave his life to save thaj sum." Detective Cordano is specially detailed on the case, but so far no arrest nas been made, although upwards of 16 dif ferent clews hive been followed. An inquest was held last evening at the East Side morgue, but few additional par ticulars were brought out. Tho state ment of Rev. Mr. Stevens, Frank A. Wll lard, who carried Mr. Forner to his home on the night of the shooting, and the re port of Dr. Hubbard as to the Immediate cause of his death were made. A written statement was read from Mrs. Fortner, who was prostrate and could not be pres ent. Mr. WIHard repeated a statement, the only one made by Mr. Fortner. as to the occurrence, which was made before the latter was considered In danger. Mr. Willard said that Mr. Fortner told him that he was proceeding home along the walk, when a man suddenly appeared in front, walking slowly in the same direc tion. Fortner thought he had better try and get ahead. When within about eight feet of the man he turned and ordered Fortner to throw up his hands. Mr, Fortner said: "I have nothing for you. Why should I?" They were close to gether. The man cocked a pistol and Mr. Fortner struck him with his dinner pall, and then the man shot him and Fortner ran toward his nome as far as he could and fell. Mr. Fortner told Wil lard he could not recognize the man, but thought he was a young man. The verdict was in accordance with these facts. The deceased was 4S years old. and had been a resident of Portland eight years. He was born In Decatur, I1L He had been In the employ of the City & Suburban Railway Company for the past two years, as an engineer, and had a good reputation. COMING ATTRACTIONS.

At the Metropolitan, commencing Sun day, December 16, and all week, Joseph Miller's company will present Under Sealed Orders." a sensational spectacular melodrama, based on one of Kipling's most Interesting narratives. This story deals with members of the secret service, who encounter strange and startling ad ventures In Algeria and London. The principal character Is a hypnotist named Sanson. He is one of the worst villains presented on tho modern stage. Having a power that cannot be resisted by the wife of the hero, he causes her, while in an hypnotic state, to place poison In her husband's tea. The hero's mother overhears the plot and Informs her son. The latter refuses to believe his wife guilty of such perfidy, and so tests her. He sees her mix the poison with the tea and then asks her to annK it, which she willingly proposes to do, but the cup is dashed from her hand at the critical mo ment. This is but one of the several dastardly plots Sanson attempts against the life of the hero, making the heroine his unwilling accomplice. The play con tains a charming love story, full of heart Interest, and a large share of comedy. The scenic, arrangements are superb, and Uic Algerian scenes are quite spectacular In every way.
