CORDRATS Boston Lyric Opera Company In "Idol's Eye" METROPOLITAN "A Turkish Bath." English Pakthidoes Here. The Eng lish partridges shipped from Hamburg arrived yesterday afternoon by the O. R. & N. Co. Ninety-eight survived the trip out of the original shlDment of 192. or OS pairs, yuite a number of the birds are I In a worn-out state, and It will be neces sary to keep them very quiet and feed them carefully for several days. It Is hoped not to lose any more, but the best of care must be taken not to do so. The birds were placed In charge of Frederick A. Stuhr, the bird dealer. The parties who interested themselves in bringing the partridges here promised to exhibit some of thorn, but will not do so until they are In better condition, and then for not more than one afternoon. The use of a store at 113 Third street has been donated for this purpose. Some of the birds are very much reduced in flesh, but under careful feeding are expected to pick up rapidly. Only the best specimens will be exhibited. The partridges will not be set at liberty until they areable to fly. They will be turned loose at Astoria, Kinton. Salem. Albany and Independence, in groups of about nine pairs each. Horses Kept the Track. An exciting and remarkable runaway took place on the East Side yesterday. A buggy with a pair of spirited black horses attached had been left standing on a street In Alblna, with a boy of 8 or 10 years in charge. The horses became scared at something and ran away, and took the 0 R & N. track, running at full speed all the way up beside the river and under the steel bridge, the boy holding to the lines and pulling with all his might. Many people on the steel bridge and else where who saw the runaway and the bugrv rocking and flying back and forth across the rails, considered that the boy was doomed, but the horses kept between the rails, and the hoy held on till the yard at the Southern Pacific warehouse was reached and the horses finally brought to a stand. That boy "will re member that ride as long as he lives, and be glad that no train happened to be coming down the track. Manx Visitors. Many visitors from Eastern States, as well as from different parts of this state and Coast, call at the rooms of the Oregon Historical Society, In the City Hall, fourth floor. Yesterday the States ofLMissorui, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts. California, Minnesota, "Washington, Idaho and Oklahoma Terri tory were represented, besides eight towns in Oregon outside of Portland. Among other visitors there were two pioneers, who crossed the plains In the same train In ISiS, and had not seen each other since. The rooms will be open for t few weeks for the benefit of the gen eral public from 10 to noon, and from 1 to 5 P. M. Citizens of Portland are re quested to remind visiting friends that no place In the city surpasses In Interest the rooms of the society. All are Invited to call and see for themselves. Deposited in the Archives. A bundle containing 300 bonds of the East Side Rail way Company, of the par value of $1000 each, and with nearly all the coupons still attached, was deposited with Captain Sladen. Clerk of the United States Court, yesterday. They are to be canceled and filed away In the archives of the court. As specimens of the ongravers and print ers work, the bonds are very handsome, each bearing a big gold seal. The Inter est on them was to have been 6 per cent in gold, but the holders evidently did not Aid It necessary to wear out their scissors or the.r elbows cutting off coupons, and they never touched much of the golden interest. Ajjnuai. Meeting. The annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce will be held at 36 Washington street, at 3:30 this afternoon. The officers will submit their reports for the year and directors and officers will be olected for 1901-2. It is hoped that all members "who signed an agreement at the beginning of the year to attend meetings will be on hand. There probably will be no contests for the of fices. The general impression among busi ness men Is that the presidency should go to Henry Hahn, the present vice-president. E. T. Williams Is talked of for vice president. I. N. Fleischner will be re-elected secretary If he cares to serve another term. Steamer Ordered Sold. Judge Bol linger made an order yesterday for the sale of the steamer Frederick K. Billings at the Courthouse door on February l, and fixed the upset price at 51S00. The Bil lings, which was owned by Paul Mohr, has been ashore on the rocks abovo the dalles, and has been libeled by the crew to recover their wages. She Is an old "boat, but has a fine new boiler In her, which some say will cost as much to get out as It Is worth, owing to the posi tion the boat is In. "WiLL Settle in Oregon. John and A. M, Young, of Codington County, South Dakota, visited Portland and a small part of the surrounding country a few days ago, with a view of looking for a per manent location and establishing them selves on farms. They were well pleased with what they saw, and said that a number of families would probably return with them to Oregon in a few months. Bor Missing.

FIRST APPEARANCE TONIGHT "The Belle of Xew York" Too Late for Tuesday Opening. "The Belle of New York" company, with Its 65 people and carloads of scenery, arrived In Portland last night too late to play at the Marquam, and In consequence will make Its first appearance at that theater tonight. Although the Southern Pacific train arrived at 8:40, It was im possible to make the elaborate stage set ting without keeping the audience wait ing, and a large crowd of disappointed theater-goers were given the option of taking their money or exchanging their tickets for tonight's performance. Near ly all of them chose the latter course,, "The Belle," therefore,t will sing her fascinating and exhilarating songs at the Marquam tonight and Thursday night. There can be no doubt that thlB great Casino spectacle Is a classic In Us own sphere. Its central figure of the' Salva tion Army lass was not only a novelty for a New York Casino production, but a dis tinctive genre creation as well, containing a hint for future playwrights who see ma terial In every-day life. One of the great est artistic successes of the London en gagement was won by E. J. Connelly as "Elder Bronson." Mr. Connelly was com plimented by his highness, the Prince of Wales, upon his excellent performance, and there has been a great interest mani fested In this country over his work. Mr. Connelly will again be seen In this part tonight at the Marquam. A STUPID LETTER. Publlnhed Without Bill. Sendlnjr the PORTLAND. Jan. 8. (To the Editor.) The article copied in The Oregonlan from the Astoria Herald Is so utterly at varl- J anco with the facte, which you must know to be false, therefore you become an abet tor by publishing it. You owe. sir, an apology to Dr. Edgar P. Hill and the en tire congregation of the First Presby terian Church for this malicious slander, bjv publishing the article which you em phasized by the heading. If Portland's reputation Is to go abroad through your paper without protest from its citizens when shown In the false light you see fit to do, then the time has come as lar as Portland Is concerned, that upon moral questions you, sir. are the embodiment of all wisdom, and that when you die, the moral standing of Portland will pass away also. A one-man city will not do for Americanism, neither will It build up a city. Please publish this and send me the bill. Yours, etc., JOHN E. DAVIS. AS A PROGRAMME MAKER. Mile. Dolores Mnkea Admirable Se lections. One of the most frequent comments on Mile. Dolores recitals Is In commendation of her art as a programme maker. The programme she has sent the Musical Ciuo for the recital Friday evening, at the Marquam, certainly confirms this reputa tion. From the Handel aria to the Cha mlnade melody, she runs the gauntlet of composers, touching every phage -of song and presenting gems from Dellbes, Gou nod. Scuderi, Verdi, Kjerulf, Grieg and Massenet. XEW CEXTURY GREETINGS. With the coming of the New Year, the president of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association sent to every wholesale cus tomer the following pleasant greeting by wire: "The Anheuser-Busch Eagle heralds loudly the praise of those who helped make him famous throughout the world, and extends hearty thanks and new century greetings. "ADOLPHUS BUSCH, President" The reference to the eagle will be read ily recognized as applying to the well known trade mark of the largest brewing association In any country. This trade mark consists of a large A, and an eagle with wings outspread. During the vr ar 1900 the output of this association reached its highest point, which by far exceeds that of any com petitor at home or abroad. Their watchword has ever been "Not how cheao, but how good," and the purity and satisfaction of their products has entitled them to the patronage they are receiving from a discriminating public in every country in the world.

Guests Were in Gay, Fantastic Cos tames, and Danced to Sprightly Music Lo&t Evening1. The most, brilliant society event of the Winter season was held at Parsons Hall last evening. The Assembly Club gave ita second party, -which took the form of a fancy-dress ball. Among those present were prominent society people of the younger and older sets. At midnight, whep the dancing was at Its height, the scone .presented a pretty kaleidoscopic picture,. as the gaily dressed dancers, rep resenting nations of every clime and every .period of history, glided over the polished floor to music that was entrancing. . The decorations were prettily designed, and entirely of the holiday season. Stretching from side to side were gar lands of holly, and reaching up to the dome were garlands of "evergreen.. From OF THE COSTUMES AT THE ASSEMBLY every place were hung large Chinese and Japanese lanterns of every size and fan ciful design. Across the stage, where the musicians were stationed, were wreaths of holly, and suspended directly overhead was a great wreath of laurel, from which were draped down to the front In, grace ful festoons small lanterns of a rosy hue. The guests arrived early, especially those who came to watch the dance from the galleries. As each new arrival stepped upon the floor, decked as fantastically as his Ingenuity could suggest, he was greeted with rapturous appreciation. The chief pleasure of the evening was in surprising or in being surprised. There -were stately knights and gallant cavaliers of the Elizabethan days, brave-looking Mexican and Spanish caballeros, dignified gentlemen of colonial days, all In bal poudre: rollicking sailor boys. King's jest ers, a Mephlstopheles, Chinese mandarins and even the product of modern civiliza tion, the shirt-waist man. Dancing with these, were pretty, dark-eyed gypsy maidens, with tambourines and spangles, Spanish senorltas, proud court ladles, and prim maidens of the Puritan type, with long, streaming curls, golf girls, Gibson girls, Scotch lassies in many-colored plaids, and a bost of others, In the tri color of France or the variegated cos tume of Folly, or In the colors of the rose, the poppy, the violet, or other favorite colors. In the bright, flashing lights they danced, Mephlstopheles with the precise Puritan maiden, the heathen Chinee with the stately court lady of the age of Louis XrV, staid gentlemen with powdered wigs with vivacious, gypsy las. sles, making a bizarre combination that added to the gayety of the merry occa sion. The costumes were all well designed and the parts sustained gracefully. Among those present was a large party of officers and ladles from Vancouver Barracks. The patronesses of the even ing were: Mrs. W. B. Ayer, Mrs. J. Wes ley Ladd. Mrs. Zera Snow. Mrs. K. A. J. Mackenzie, ahd Mrs. Frederic H. Hop kins. The music was furnished by Parsons' orchestra. Supper was served during the evening, and a delicious punch from a booth on the main floor. The evening opened with a grand march, led by the patronesses, and their escorts, i from which the dancers glided Into the opening waltz. Among those nrescnt were the follow ing: Mr. and Mrs. William Macmaster, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Kerr, Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Paxton, Mr. and Mrs. J. Wesley Ladd, Colonel and Mrs. Jordan, Judge and Mrs. J. H.

One of those bright, witty and Intelli gent men. who are the reporters' anchor to windward, and who are always ready to furnish the seeker after Intelligence ! with material for a paragraph yesterday caused the hair on a reporter's head to stand erect by informing him that an employe of the Union Meat Company had a short time before dropped 20 feet Into a tank of boiling water. "Did he get out. alive," asked the sym pathetic reporter. "He did not appear to be a bit the worse," was the reply, "and walked home without assistance, and the water was actually boiling." "WelL that is the most remarkable thing I ever heard of," said the reporter, as he started off to Interview the vic tim. "Oh. I dont see that there Is anything remarkable about it' said the Informant. "The feet he dropped were pig's feet." Enormous Transactions In Sngrar Stocks. According, to the Nw York Times' finan cial report,; no less than 13,251.283 shares of Sugar common stock were bought and cold on the stock exchange In that city during last year. In. other words, the en tire' common stock changed hands nearly 40 times over. The transactions In this stock were more than deuble that of anv other on the list, showing that, In the I L matter of speculative activity. It Is the greatest card of the whole pack. It seems to recall the testimony brought out at the Congressional investigations of the octopus, wherein It was shown that oper ating In the stock market with its own stock was one of the recognized features of the sugar refining business. ' IL TROVATORE" SUNG. Collaxnarlnl as Axaceaa, the Gypsy, to Rhsso'b Manrlco. Another large audience was attracted to Cordray's last night by "II Trovatore." and again enthusiasm ran high. Recalls were frequent, but as the opera was the heaviest and most exhausting in the rep ertoire of the' Boston Lyrics, but few re sponses were given. The cast brought out the strongest members of the company. Collamarlni, In the role of Azucena, had a part that tested her talents In an entirely different line from Carmen; for, althougn both are gypsies, it would be hard to find anything else in common between the two the one a beautiful, heartless co quette; the other, a swarthy-skinned Ne mesis of retributive Justice, lawless gyp sy though 3he is. The test was nobly met, for. although Carmen seems pre-eminently suited to her temperament, yet she is a versatile act- Stty rC BALL. ress, and can creditably fill roles of a con trasting strain. Her portrayal of Azu cena was characterized by real dramatic fire and more variety of mood than Port land audiences are accustomed to see in this role. Heavier demands were made upon her vocally than In Carmen, and she did not disappoint her audience. Her scene with Manrlco in the second act, in which she describes the tragic death of her mother In the flames as a sorceress, was a spirited and dramatic piece of work. In the prison scene of the last act, the touches of pathos were natural and spontaneous, with the result that Azucena appeared to be something more than a mere incarnation of the spirit of revenge. Russo, as Manrlco, Is more or less fa miliar to Portland theater-goers, as he has portrayed that character before on his previous visit to this city. His work has lost none of Its fervor, he and Col lamarlni being the life of the opera; when they were off the stage it dragged a bit. Russo, as singer and athlete, still has the habit of exhibiting his Immense reserve power and chest expansion by holding his notes far beyond the ordinary limit of a snlger's capacity. His extraordinary breath control Is of Immense value In crescendos, which he makes always high ly dramatic and thrllllngly effective. Josephine Stanton filled the role of Leo nora, for which she Is fitted better vo cally than temperamentally. It Is not easy to think of her In terms of tragedy. Her singing of the difficult arias was thoroughly enjoyable, and won much ap plause, and in satisfying the eye she left little to be desired. Her enunciation snuf fers somewhat by comparison with Colla marlni's. No doubt this Is In a measure due to her lack of familiarity with the role of Le.onora. Alessandrbnl made a gooj Count di Lu na, handsome, jealous and revengeful. The chorus of men's voices did not make as much of the soldiers' chorus that opens the third act as they should. The orches tra, being more familiar with "II Trova tore" than with "Carmen," did more ef fective work. It is by all odds, the most capable theater orchestra that Portland has had for many years, and Its work is warmly appreciated by the public. Tonight "The Idol's Eye" is the bill. PERSONAL MENTION.

Irish-American Dialect. Gentleman's Magazine. These comic philosophers mostly live In America, There only is the Idea cultivated In literature. In England authors write only fact or fiction. But across the At latlc there are hosts of clever men who are not ashamed to set down what -whim ANNUAL CL S uit Qvercoa Greatly Reduced THE SAME THING Famous Clothing House MORRISON AND SECOND STS. sical Ideas come Into their heads. We cal them, somewhat contemptuously, hu morists, but a little of their light philoso phy would be a very welcome addition to the heavy fact and foolish fiction which make our illustrated magazines such seri ous publications. Well, these light-hearted philosophers nearly always write in dialect, Their favorite dialect is the Irish-American, but they make much use of the negro, Yankee and Westerner. The Irish-American dialect is entirely a paper one; It Is absolutely unpronounceable. It has the usual Irish Idioms, and to them lively American pens have added scores of strange words. It is wholly comic, never being used for serious writings, though perhaps, now "Mr. Dooley" is fast making it classical. It may doff Its holi day garb and don more workaday clothes. Its present resort Is, however, the comic paper and in it a large percentage of the jokes given to the English-speaking world is cast. But In the case of jokes of the question and answer description perhaps the negro dialect is most used. Massa Jonslng and Dinah have a number of fun ny things to say to each other in their quaint speech, which undoubtedly has lif fluenced, or at least been Influenced by, the American Irish. Both speeches over lie the highest of spirits; whether a quip be written in the one or the other seems to be a matter decided by the caprice of the moment Both are employed to con vey from writer to reader the most Inno cent mirth in the world. The cleanliness of the two dialects is, indeed, most praise worthy, and makes their popularity with readers on both sides of the Atlantic a matter of congratulation.

The most Interesting personal predic tion of the new century Is that made by Dr. Lapponl, the pope's physician, who declares it probable that Leo XIII will live to the age of 100. His remarkable record of recent activity shows the pope to be a man of extraordinary vitality, and whether Dr. Lapponl's prophecy is liter! ally fulfilled or not he already holds a unique place In the annals of longevity. He Is the most distinguished survivor In the new century of that famous group of great rulers who dominated the last half of the century gone Bismarck, Von Moltke, Gladstone, Disraeli, Queen Vic toria and Emperor Franz Josef. That Leo is likely to become a centenarian imparts new Interest to his famous poem written In 1897. in. which he set forth his rules of living. i OSTEOPATHY. Dr. R. B. Northrup, 416 Dekum build ing.

FOR LESS MONEY EARANCE SALE READY FOR BUSINESS AGAIN A Two -Acre Ptano Ranch Now at Ellers Piano House. With the alterations now in progress at our waxerooms, we will have a combined floor space of something over seven thou sand feet devoted entirely to the retail selling of line pianos and organs; and in addition to this we have over nlno thousand square feet of storage room, or all told, Ellers Piano House has now near ly two acres of floor space devoted to the piano and organ business. And we pro pose to raise a mighty crop of piano pur chasers and business friends on this two acre ranch of ours. Just now our sacrifice piano sale is in full swing, and we are daily selling more fine pianos and organs than all the rest of the dealers In the state combined. Low 'prices and high qualities are the two powerful selling factors at this time. We are selling these instruments at such low prices because we want to get rid of every piano and organ before our Mr. Ellers goes EaSt. at wnlch time we pro pose to buy out a retlrlni partner's Inter est In this house with the proceeds of this sacrifice sale. The question of profit does not enter Into the question at all at this time. It 13 sim ply a determined effort on our part to accomplish a desired result without bor rowing a dollar of money outside of our firm. If you have no piano or organ, and have ever thought of owning one (and If your home Is without an Instrument, you should have given this matter serious con cern before now), if you have no piano or organ, we say it is now the time for you to stick 525 in your vest pocket for a first payment down, come to 351 Washington street today, and wo will fit you out with a really first-class piano at the price usually asked for the mere commercial article, and you can pay for same in monthly payments little more than rent Come in and talk it over.
