C0LLAMAR1NI IN "MIGNON"
Her Slnginj? Dllebtcd n Packed
Home qt Cordray's.
Great as she Is in the character of Car
men and Azucena Collamarini, of the
Boston Lyrics, convinced a packed house
last night that the part of Mignon better
enables her to display the full richness
and power of her magnificent voice than
either of the others, and her singing of
the beautiful numbers of the opera was
a revelation and a treat. The part Is
entirely different from either the passion
ate cigarette girl or the wild gypsy, and
In her thorough mastery of Its dramatic
difficulties Collamarini again proved her
self an actress as well as singer. Her
playing of the waif whose fortunes and
misfortunes compose the pathetic story
around which the opera is woven was
such as alternately to move to laughter
and bring tears to the eyes of an audi
ence who could not understand a word
she sang, but who were almost as well
able to interpret her gestures and the
changing tones of her voice as If she had
been singing in English. Her duet "with
Russo In the first act earned a double re
call, and tho storms of applause which
followed her every appearance could not
but have convinced her that the friends
she has made in Portland are friends for
all time.
Both in the more passionate passages
of Jealousy and fear and in the melting
love songs in which her expression is in
comparable, her singing was without a
flaw, and the wonderful range of her
voice and the perfect control she has over
it united to make her every, note a de
light. It is safe to say that those who
have missed "Mignon." last night have
not seen the great singer In her most fas
cinating role.
Russo as Wllhelm Melster, is fully equal
to the heavy work imposed upon him. and
his singing left nothing to be wished for.
In fact his voice has never been heard
to better advantage than In the song
"She Is So Beautiful," In the second act,
which was rendered with such effect that
he was compelled to respond to an en
core. Allesandronl In the part of tho
old minstrel has not the part he has in
"Carmen," but the full glory of his voice
is heard in the last act. and in the scene
with Collamarini and Russo he earns his
full share of the honors.
The chorus sang better last night than
it has during the engagement, but more
familiarity with the music of the operas
which are new to the repertoire, will en
able them to do better work. Colonel
Thompson has earned the lasting grati
tude of the music lovers of Portland by
bringing three such singers to Cordray's,
and the houses that have tested the ca
pacity of the theater at every perform
ance prove that his enterprise has been
rewarded.
At the matinee this afternoon "The
Idol's Eye" will be the attraction, and
the engagement will close with "Wang"
tonight.
MAY LOSE THEIR JOBS.
County Official" Learn of a. Bill to He'
Presented at Salem.
Some of the county officials are agi
tated about bills which, it Is said, will
be presented to the next Legislature
whloh will affect cither their official
heads, salaries, or contain some other
disagreeable feature. One of the pro
posed acts, It is said, purposes to do away
with the present Board of County Com
missioners, and create a new board to
be named in the act, to be comprised of
one Democrat and one Republican, as
Commissioners, and restoring the County
Judge to his place on the board.
The Commissioners are to be given the
power to name all of the clerks and dep
uties in the different county offices, ex
cept the chief deputies, and the clerk
in each department of the State Circuit
Court, who is to be appointed by the
Judgo of the department. County Com
missioner Steele yesterday stated that
two years and a half ago he was elected
by the people to serve four years as
County Commissioner, and believed he
had a right to remain where the people
placed htm until his term expired. He
said he would go to the Legislature and
fight any attempt to depose him from the
office.
Another bill, it is stated, contemplates
doing away with the court criers. Three
of the courts have both a bailiff and a
crier, and the advocates of the measure
seem to think a bailiff is enough. The
Judges, however, appear to find work for
both.
If AILED IT TO THE FLOOR.
Stolen United States Bond Thus Con
cealed From Yletv.
A story of a stolen ?300 United States
Government bond, nailed to a floor and
covered with carpet to hldo its where
abouts, came to light yesterday, when
Detectives Snow and Korrigan arrested
J. F. Clark and Edith Johnston, charged
with robbing Charles Bush.
A few days ago, Bush, who lives on
Fourth street, was a warm friend of
Clark and the Johnston girl, who occu
pied rooms at Third and Jefferson streets.
The trio exchanged visits, but Bush felt
a sudden coolness toward his friends
when he discovered that soma one had en
tered his room during his absence and
had stolen a Government bond for $500
and sereral articles of clothing. He told
Clark that he suspected him, and Clark
said: "You are a friend of ours no longer.
Get out"
Bush did so, and informed the police.
Clark and Edith were arrested, and they
both said: "Why are we arrested? -This
is an outrage!" Finally, Clark confessed
that he and his companion had taken the
bond and nailed it under the carpet of
their room. Snow and Kerrigan visited
the place and. sure onough, there was
the bond nailed to the floor. Miss John
ston said she camo from Montreal, Can
ada, and thousht It was "real mean" of
the police to arrest her.

A CAPTIVATING SINGER
MLL.E. DOLORES ACHIEVED A BR.IL
IJA5T TRIUMPH LAST SIGHT,
The Marqnain Crowded "With a Crit
ical Audience, The Mimical Club
and Its Friends.
Antonia Dolores (Trebelll) contmered all
hearts in the big audience that assembled
to greet her last night at the Marquam.
The Musical Club has always been pe
culiarly fortunate in presenting to Port
land audiences artists of winning person
ality, as well as of exceptional musical
gift; and Mile. Dolores proved to be an
excellent illustration of this rule. Her
frank sincerity of bearing, the mingling
of grace and dignity in her stage pres
ence, together with a certain Irresistible
bonhomie could not fail to captivate even
the severest critics. There is something
fresh, wholesome and unaffected about
her appearance that lends weight to tho
words she uttera, and forces them homo
to the heart. Musically, she has the true
Italian bel canto in extraordinary pur
ity. The luscious sweetness of her tones,
their flute-like clarity, cast a spell over
her audience that was not removed until
she bad left the stage. It is indeed rare
to find the flexibility of light soprano
combined with the heavier qualities, vol
ume and dramatic intensity. She has air
of these, together with a warm emotion
al temperament and a sensitive organi
zation that enables her to interpret with
extraordinary felicity composers of rad
ically different schools.
Her programme was one of unusual in
terest and originality, embracing a great
variety of nationalities and styles. For
modern French daintiness and grace there
were Chamlnade and Delibes, with Gounod
for more ambitious effort; German clas
sicism was represented by Handel, French
gayety and mirth by Bibet. Italian dra
matic fervor by Verdi and Leoncavallo,
Scandinavian tenderness and melancholy
by KJerulf, and its brighter moods by
Grieg.
One of the most notable numbers was
KJerulfs- "Ob, to Remember!" full of the
most heartrending pathos. The plaintive,
appealing beauty of the faint, half
breathed notes, each one perfect as a
pearl, cannot soon be forgotten by those
who heard it In pleasant contrast to this
was Grieg's joyous "Spring," full of vernal
freshness and charm. Handel' "Let Me
Wander Not Unseen" was not without a
certain witching grace mingling with its
classic dignity. The Balatella from "I
Pagllaccl" exhibited some of Mile.
Dolores high notes to advantage, while
Bizet's "Tarantelle" showed her unusual
flexibility of voice. For breath and vol
ume, Massenet's "Pensee d'Automne" was
a notable number, while .the saucy liveli
ness of the Page's song, "Volta la terra,"
from "Ballo In Maschero," greatly pleased
the audience. As a colorature soprano
she gave, Incidentally, sufficient proof of
her powers to show that she would be
brilliantly effective If she cared to make
a display of her technique; but this she
never does, preferring always to subordi
nate it to Its proper place in hor art.
In, English, Italian and French, Mile.
Dolores Is equally at home, her enuncia
tion being faultless In each of these lan
guages. She is of French birth, her
mother being Zelie Trebelll, the cele
brated contralto, whose visit to this city
In company -with Ovlde ,Musln will be re
membered by many Portlanders. Her
perfect accord with the English spirit,
however, was shown in the fetching hu
mor and naivete with which she gave
for encore the quaint little ditty, "There
Was Once a Little Boy. Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!" This proved to be one 'of
her most effective numbers so far 'as
style and her remarkable powers of In
terpretation were concerned.
At the close of the programme the au
dience refused to leave Its, seats, and af
ter a tumultuos outburst of applause
Mile. Dolores was obliged to respond to
the persistent recall, which she did with
good-humored grace. Auber's "Laugh
ing Song," from "ManonI" was then given
with such vivacity and contagious fun
that it fairly took the audience by storm.
A more dramatic, vivid and supremely
effective a bit of musical merriment has
probably never been enjoyed from a Port
land stage. And the big audience dis
persed with a very pleasant sense of grat
itude to the Musical Club for the privi
lege of becoming acquainted with so
gifted and delightful a singer as Mile.
Dolores.

Girls ot the City Mission Entertain
Tttclr Patroness.
The 75 little girls who attend the City
Mission at Glisan and Park streets, had
a big time yesterday afternoon on the
occasion of the party in honor of Miss
Lucia H. Hurlburt, the principal patron
ess of the institution. Miss Hurlburt has
taken great pride in the welfare of her
charges since the sewing-school was
started, three years ago, and the man
ner in which her efforts are appreciated
by both children and parents was amply,
exhibited yesterday. Tables were set for
quite a number of guests, and a goodly
supply of frosted cake and cocoa had been
provided before Miss Hurlburt arrived to
attend to the regular duties of the sewing
school. A tasty cushion of richly em
broidered satin and a genuine china cup
and saucer were also presented to the be
loved patroness.
This mission school Is situated In a res
idence district and Is attended by the
children from good homes who are glad
of the opportunity to learn the Intricacies
of sewing. A large amount of their handi
work was shown a reporter. It consisted
of hemstitched handkerchiefs and all sorts
of ornamental work, as well as of samples
of the more essential articles. The chil
dren therefore obtain a free Insight to
the art of sewing which will be of use
to them in after life.
But the sewing school is not all. An
undenominational Sunday school Is
taught In connection, and this is attended
by both girls and boys. The teachers who
have given their time and money toward
the work for tho past three years are:
Dr. J. M. McGavin. Arthur Wall, Mrs.
Olsen. Mrs. Wells, Misses Gertrude and
Anna Churchley, and Miss Burns. J. H.
Edwards, who has acted as superinten
dent, has recently given way to Mr. Bam
ford. The First Presbyterian Church has ren
dered great assistance In promoting the
success of the mission, and will here
after take full charge of It, though It
will etill remain strictly non-sectarian.
The sewing class meets every Friday at
4 P. M., and the Boys' Anti-Cigarette
