How His Lbqb Were Evened Up. time Sets all things even, nnii rm lnltirv iftea Offsets the naJn of another In th opinion of H. P. Christensen, -who Is now ab-o to walk without limping. A few days ago, while superintending: some of Ms men employed ia a store, he stepped backward to get a better view of the work and dropped through a trap In the floor. He fit the aperture as If he had been measured fpr It, and bruised one of his legs rather rv-a1v In h! ripsAnt beside Jolting several ribs, and displacing orae 01 nis vital organs. He walked with pain and difficulty till Wednesday night, when, as he was irolne home with two friends. In crossing the bridge on Sev- eaLcemn street, north the street lights all being out he stepped his well leg Into a. hoie In the bridge caused by a plank being too short, and wont down as far as the hole would admit. His friends pu.led him out. and he was much sur prised and pleased to find that he could walk without limping, the injuries to his legs being so evenly balanced that he had no reason for favoring either. In looking over the bridge the next morning he found another hole where he could have fixed a third leg if he had had one. He expects the city to fix the holes in the bridge, and will look out for trapdoors mmsclf hereafter. laETTBR-CAimiBRs Have a Brass Bakd. The letter-carriers connected with the PorJand Postofflca have organized a brass band of 31 pieoes, and the members aro blowing every lung tester In the city out of the water. They have engaged the services of Professor John Everest as instructor, and H. M. Barrett, superin tendent of city delivery. Is business man ager. Thoy have practiced nve evenings, and are making rapid progress, and will Boon be able to drown out the Salvation Army band. It is not the IntenUon of this band to enter into competition with pro fessional bands for business, but they will r'ay on public occasions and at social and charitable functions, and may per haps give a concert to provide funds for rurhaslng uniforms. As there are 50 regular carriers on the farce, and 12 sub. cUtutes, there Is no lack of musical talent amorg thorn to select from. As the chests of the carriers are compressed during the day by the straps of the heav i'y "oaded pouches they carry around, an h3ur or two spent In blowing clarionets, trombones, etc., will have a beneficial effect on their lungs, and Increase their chest measure. Protecting Sewer Inlets. City En glni.fr Chase has a force of men at work clearing out the large catch-basin at the head of Johnson Creek sewer, where a largp amount of gravel, sand, etc., accu mulated during the late freshet. He Is alo having the basins and gratings at trc inlets to the Tanner Creek and Mar qam Gulch sewers looked after, to pre vent danger of damage In case of further i zy JHormB. The fact that ail the cutlets of the large sewers were well rrc?ared for such emergencies saved mch trouble and expense, for the sewers were tested to their utmost capacity, and, in spite of all precautions, the top of the Tanner Creek sewer was forced off r ar the corner of the Exposition Bulld lrg. As the damage Is not serious, this Lrcak will be left till fine weather for repair. The outlets will bo put In good oruer as soon as possible. Cot NSBLiOR Folet Abroad.

WILL ASK FOR $30,000. Pan-American Commission Desires This Sum for Buffalo Exposition. Oregon's Pan-American Commission, consisting of President A. P. Tiff t. Treas urer H. B. Thielsen, Secretary J. H. Burgard, Assistant Secretary George L. Peasleoj and A. J. Johfrsonj E. L. Smith and Mrs. E. T. Weathorred, has submit ted a draft of a bill for an appropriation of JM.C00 for Oregon's exhibit at tho Buf falo exposition. The bill 'has been put In the hands of Senator Howe, of Yamhill County, for Introduction in the Senate, and in the hands of Representative Stew art, of Jackson County, for presentation In the House of Representatives. The measure is short, being patterned after tho bill appropriating money for the Omaha exhibit, though the sum asked Is ju&t twice as great. The commission hopes that this will receive favorable considera tion and be promptly passed by the Leg islature. "There Is a double purpose to be served by this appropriation," said Henry E. Dosch, who has been selected to be super intendent of the Oregon exhibit at Buf falo, and who has Just returned from there. "One Is to attract the attention, of the world to our state and Its resources and opportunities, and the other Is to ad vertise our own great fair in 1905. We can not expect the Eastern States to take an interest in our enterprise If we show no interest in their fair. A liberal ap propriation for a display at Buffalo will be returned to us many fold In good-will and active Interest In our Lewis and Clark celebration. This Is over and above the usual benefits to accrue from such an exhibit. I don't see how we can ex pect the patronage of the Eastern States without in some way Showing our own good-will toward them and faith In their enterprise." MATINEES TODAY. "King Itaatus" nt Cordrny'ji "CIrcns Girl" at Metropolitan. "King Rastus," presented by Isham's octoroons, will be the bill at Cordray's at the matinee this afternoon. Its bright music, pretty costumes and funny colored people will be suro to please the children, who are a very Important part of the clientele of the theater. At the Metropolitan, "A Circus Girl," the funny comedy which has been amus ing large houses all the week, will be the attraction, and will undoubtedly fill the house to overflowing. t GOLD MEDAL CONTEST AT WHALE'S.

Their Slogan Ia a Xew Building; to Replace the Old Central School Other rferrs Notes. A representative body of residents of Central East Portland met last night at the office of Justice Vreeland to take fur ther steps to secure the completion of the Central schoolhouse. H. H. Newhau served as chairman. At a former gather ing General Owen Summers, W. T. B. Nicholson, W. L. Boise and H. H. New hall were made a committee to look Into the situation and report. This commit tee was all present, and the report was to the effect that the directors seemed favorable to the completion of the build ing according to the plans previously pre pared, and according to which four rooms already had been erected. It remained for the taxpayers to vote for the necessary levy at the coming school meeting next Monday. If a sufficient levy is made at that time the building may be finished this year. It had 'been the policy of the board to put one building every year so as to keep ahead of the increase in popu lation, and naturally and logically the Central was next in line. The Holladay and Thompson buildings had both been erected since the four rooms were built on tho Central school ground, and it was the opinion of the meeting last night that in fairness and Justice the old structure now in use should be displaced, as tho old Holladay building had been, with a modern structure. Tho sanitary condi tion of the old Central building was some what discussed, and it was considered on this ground alone, if there were no others, the new building should be com pleted. It was also remarked In the meet ing that it was an open secret that one reason the Central building had been per mitted to stand so long after the new one was started was that the people had not demanded the completion of the new one. It was decided to ask every taxpayer of the Central Bast Portland district to mako It a point to attend the general school moating Monday evening. Montuvilln. School District. The directors of the Montavilla school district have called a special meeting of the taxpayers for next Thursday even ing, January 24, to vote a tax for main taining the school for the ensuing year. None of the bonds become due for sev eral years, but Interest has to be pro vided. The bonds outstanding amount to $12,000, and all but about $4000 were re funded last year for 6 per cent. The bonds had been drawing 7 and 8 per cent, but In view of the statement made that district No. 5 had received an offer to refund Its bonds falling due at 4 per cent, the directors feel that they were a little hasty In refunding at 6 per cent. How ever, that was the best that could be done at that time, and a considerable sum was saved by refunding, so they have no regrets. The Directors have not yet fig ured how much of a levy they will ask for, but will have their estimates of ex penses ready for the special meeting. On the whole, the district is in good con dition. The school is well filled and pro gressing finely. Every room in the eight room building is occupied. Death of a Veteran Soldier. William Capllnger, a veteran of the Mexican and Civil Wars, died at his home In Woodlawn, Thursday, January 17, after a lingering illness. He was born in Shelby County, Kentucky, December 12, 1S22, and at an early age moved with his parents to Montgomery County, Indiana. In 184S he moved to Iowa, and became a pioneer of that state. He lived there until 1SO0, when he came to Portland, Or. He served one year in the Mexican, War, and in 1S62 enlisted in the Civil War, in Company F, Twenty-ninth Regi ment, Iowa Volunteers.

The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, from Dunnlng's. Lone Fir Cemetery will be the place of interment. Sew Pastor Arrives. Rev. Jerome R.

Mr. Mc Glade will enter on his work at the church tomorrow. He will reside at 624 Clinton street, corner East Sixteenth. Mr. McGlade said he had heard much of the beauty of Portland, Or., but from the little he had seen of It he'is satisfied tho accounts he had were in no wise exag gerated. Death of Wnltcr Cronlclte. Word was received yesterday from Alma, Mich., of the death of Walter Cronklte, an old soldier, formerly a well known resident of Montavilla. He died very suddenly. He has been gone from Montavilla about four years. A wife and several children survive him. Mr. Cron klte was prominently connected In the old country, and a number of years ago ho received word that he was Joint heir to a large sum of money, running up Into the millions. An attorney investigated his claim and it seemed all straight, but, like other great fortunes in the old coun try, it never materialized. Officers Installed. The Young People's Christian, Union, of the United Brethren Church, corner East Morrison and East Fifteenth streets, held its quarterly installation of officers last night at the church, when Rev. F.

LEFT THE MUD OF LUZON. Veterans of the Twenty-seventh Re turn, to Pursuits of Peace. Members of the Twenty-seventh United States Volunteers are now straggling home ward from Manila by way of Portland, and little squads are seen every day on the streets. Most of the boyo aro thin and sallow In appearance, and can be easily distinguished from, the soldiers quartered at Vancouver. Dysentery has afflicted them all with more or less se verity, and they feel very grateful on reaching Portland, as it begins to seem like home. Yesterday several members of Company M stopped over in the city, awaiting the departure of the Northern Pacific train which would take them part way to New York. They were first beginning to re cover their old-time strength as a result of better food, better climate and more comfortable lodging than they had en Joyed while chafing the elusive ladrones across the muddy rice fields and slug gish rivers of Luzon. "For months we had to sleep in our soldier clothes." ono of them said, "and as the climate is damp we had no chance to dry out. We never know what moment we might be attacked, and so had to sleep with one eye open. The favorite game of the Filipinos is to creep close to the garrison at night and Just about 4 o'clock In the morning, when the cooks are beginning to prepare break fast, fire a volley at the lights and then run. We were always after them on the instant, and would generally manage to kill and wound a few before they got away, but thoy would be liable to get one of us In the meantime." The proportion of soldiers re-enlisting is very small, these boys said, and not more than four out of the Twenty-seventh had thus far decided to try it for three years more. These four Joined the new Twenty sixth now being recruited in San Fran cisco. They had obtained several hundred dollars of back pay and spent this in a good time, and so, when they became broke and were promised "noncom" Jobs v.mr rvr,nlnrlv1 n rrnss the Pacific and have another exchange of shots with the "niggers." "But there is no war in tne rmupiimcs now," the boys agreed, "though it will be some time before Americans can travel from one town to another in safety. Par ties of ladrones, armed with Krag-Jorgen-sen rifles, aro likely to be met with any where, and, although the natives cannot use the rifle to much advantage, they would mako things very uncomfortable for a -party of civilians whom they might encounter in the brush. But the islands are rich in gold and timber, and as soon as a few railroads are built, peace will come of itself." The Soys had seen considerable gold that had been taken out of the river beds in the mountains of Luzon, and were con fident that the yellow metal exists there in considerable quantity. The Macabebes or native soldiers are of great assistance to the American troops, -they said, and are true to their allegiance as white troops could be. There is a race hatred of long standing between the Macabebes and the Tagals, and the Americans have taken advantage of this to pit the barbarians against each other. When they meet there 1& no quarter, and prisoners captured are speedily killed. Mutilation follows, and each side seems to take delight in being more cruel than the other. . ' COMING ATTRACTIONS. Richards nnd Prlngle'a -Jllnstrels. The beautiful scenic settings for the first part of the Richards and Pringles big minstrel performance at Cordray's next week is an exact reproduction of a Japanese village, with Its breezy luxuri ant perspective and unique architectural conceits. The idea itf refreshingly novel, and adds a striking Oriental beauty and splendor to a usually stereotyped part of a minstrel performance. Every feature of this big combination is presented in the same meritorious way different from any other similar organization and of the very best. Tho street parade takes place at 2:30 P. M. A Husband on Salary." The only comedy to be seen next week at any of the local theaters Is the offering at the Metropolitan Theater, where "A Husband on salary win do uie attrac tion commencing Sunday. A large com pany, headed by Stephen Fitzpatrick, and a clever array of vaudeville talent make the play one of the most laughable of the season. A pleasing feature promised by the management is the fact that the piece is entirely free from the "slap stick" ele ment or vulgarisms, too often een on the stage today, and that the play depends entirely on its bright and witty dialogue, interesting scenes and the clever work of the different roles essayed by the mem bers of the company to win for It the unrestricted praises of tho press and public "The Sorrows of Satan." The American production of" William A. Brady's elaborate scenic play, "The Sorrows of Satan," will be seen for the first time here on Monday, Tuesday, Corsets Improved shapes. $3 grade reduced to J2.25.

In Special Cars Seventy-one in the Party. A select party of 71 prominent native born Chicagoans aro due to arrive over the Northern Pacific tomorrow, and will make Portland and the great Northwest their future homes. They all of them saw the light of day in the great Kimball factories, the finest equipped, best-lighted and largest piano and organ factories In America, and are each one of them specially selected in struments for the highest class of trade. Of course, they will be brought to Eilers Piano House Immediately upon arrival, and quite a number of them will be deliv ered to the homes of prominent musical people, for whom these- fine instruments were ordered especially. Ordinarily 71 instruments would be con sidered nearly six carloads of pianos, but under Eilers Piano House's new method of packing and shipping, It Is possible to get almost two carloads of pianos into one, and, besides, the cost of boxes, boxing and unboxing 18 saved. In this way the freight on an instrument Is Just about one fourth of what some dealers pay for a single piano. This is only one item in the many money saving methods employed by Eilers Piano House, and by means of which It Is pos sible to furnish Ellers Piano House pa trons more actual piano value, for the money than can be secured anywhere else. See the new instruments at Eilers Piano House, 351 Washington street, in the new Music building. Quite a number of fancy art styles are Included in this shipment Instruments of which only limited num bers are made, and which ato not shown in regular catalogues. Wednesday matinee, and Wednesday night, January 21, 22, 23, at -the Marquam Grand. The play is still being success fully played throughout the English prov inces after an emphatic hit at the Shafts bury Theater, London, and It Is entirely probable that of the millions who have read the book In this country, at least one-half will have witnessed tho play be fore the close of the present season. Those who ore familiar with the story will realize that it could not properly be presented on the stage Without an ex ceptional cast and accessories of an un usually costly and elaborate character, while those who have seen any of Mr. Brady's other productions, such as "Mile. Fifi," or " 'Way Down East," know that he would not attempt this even if It were possible. Marie CorelU's admirers may therefore safely anticipate an en tirely adequate presentation of this strange tale of the Devil on earth. Tho sale of seats opened yesterday morning.
