THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JANUABY 22, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements TonlKht. IQUAAI GRAND "The Sorrows of Satan." CORDRAYS Richards and Prfngle's ann- sireis. METROPOLITAN "A Husband on Salary." Stamp-Cancelino Machine. Postmas ter Croasmon has at last succeeded in se curing for the Portland Postofflce a stamp-canceliiyj machine, -which Is com petent for the requirements of the busi ness, and fully meets the expectations of the mailing clerks, who pronounoe It a "daisy" and a regular "peach." It Is operated by electricity, and concels the stamps on 30,000 letters or postal cards In an hour. It Is known as the "Dolphin Flyer," and has been In operation for several days. It has been thoroughly tested and found to come up to all that had been promised for It. The machine feeds Itself; all that is necessary for the attendant to do Is to bunch up the let ters with the address sides all one way, and to see that there are no diamond rings, steel girders or Infernal machines In them. It might be supposed that a pack of postal cards would be difficult for the machine to handle, and that once in a while one would slip through unstamped, but they go whizzing through the machine In regular order, and every one of them Is stamped. Among the bars of the can celing stamp is a figure one to show that the office has but one such machine, and the letters D and C are placed In the stamp to designate "dropped" or "col lected ' letters. Thfa machine is used to cancel stamps on all the letJters received at the office for transmission, and the old machine Is used for "back stamping"; that is, for stamping on letters for dis tribution here date of their arrival at the postofllce. Dccks Fxw High. The high water in the Columbia Hooding many of the hunt ing grounds on Sauvie's Island and else where along the river interfered seriously with the sport of the duck hunters Sun day. A number of sportsmen did not go out at all, and those who went met with only mooerate luck. At Deer Island a number of geese were shot and some ducks. Over on the Columbia Bouom some of the shooters did very weH. A great number of ducks were seen flying in all directions, as they had a vast scope of territory to feed on. Many bands of canvasbacks were seen, but as they flew high, not many of them were shot. One hunter down near Scappoose is feeding canvasbacks on beans, and is getting quite a number of them. Reports from Califor nia are to the effect that ducks of all kinds are more numerous there than ever before, and that oanvasbacks are so plen tiful that they sell on the markets at $3 per dozen. They are never likely to be so plentiful in this section again, since the "Sarp destroyed the wapatoes, widgeon weed and other duck feed, and unless feed is supplied for the ducks there will be none shot here. SririDE op an Old-Time Portlandeiu Many of the old-time sportsmen of this city, who overlooked a brief mention in the papers a few days ago of the suicide of H. G. Macdonald at Spokane, have been pained to learn that the unfortunate was tlWr old-time friend and associate, Macdonald. fcrmerly bookkeeper for the old house of Corbltt & Macleay. He was well known hero as an ardent sportsman for many years in the good old days when ducks, geese and swan were plentiful, be fore the despicable carp had been intro duced and had destreyed all the wapatoes and other duck feed. He was a broad shouldered, genial, big-hearted Scotchman, whose greattest pleasure during the hunt ing season was to shoot as many ducks as he could carry every Sunday, lug thorn to town, pile them up on the floor of the Arion saloon, the favorite resort of hunt ers 15 to 20 years ago, and then to give them to his numerous friends. He went to Spokane a number of years ago, and things did not go well with him there, and finally he reached & point where he did not desire to live any longer, and so put a pistol to his head and ended his troubles. Few TnTiNG to Evade License. The license officer has had no trouble In his business so far this quarter, and licenses have been very promptly and cheerfully paid In by the majority of people re quired to take out licenses. Some of the few remaining persons who have not paid their licenses seem inclined to make trouble. A doctor put in an application for license in which he stated that his gross receipts were less than the rent he pays for his office. Anothor doctor appded to be placed In the 43d degree class, alleging 'that his receipts had not exceeded his xpenses more than 75 cents There is no 42d degree class, so the ap plication was refused. The applicant was told that If he would state in his applica tion that his gross receipts were less than 12000 for ne past year, his license would be fl per quarter. He refused to do this, but offered to pay the Jl fee for his li cense If It were granted under his appli cation, which, of course, could not be done. The city officials, judging from the fact that the license fee Is so trifling, are of opinion that the object of putting In the irregular application was to cause trouble. "Will. Sell the Assets. Judge Cleland yesterday made an order In the State Court upon petition of R. Nixon, receiver of the Portland Savings Bank, directing the sale of the remaining assets of the bank at public auction. A number of the interested depositors wore present, but no objections were made to the order. The rroperty wHl be advertised In detail Jn The Oregonlan In a few days, and the time and place of the sale made known. The funds for the 5 per cent dividend to be declared shortly are practically In the hands of the receiver, and It Is ex pected that the proceeds of the "remain ing assets" will enable the receiver to pay 10 per cent additional on dividends. Takino Their Delight. Since the dog catcher has quit making the rounds, the unlicensed canines, which had been care fully housed all Fall, have been let loose, and they have big times barking at teams and wheelmen in all suburbs of the city. The Impression prevails among dogown ers that so long as the canines are not at large they cannot be molested, but the city authorities aver that a dog is liccnsable whether at large or not. Be sides this there Is a penalty for keeping an unlicensed dog, though this ordinance Is seldom enforced. Fnrrr Mkbtinq Today. H. e. Dosch was disappointed yesterday on account of the small number of those notified who atterdtd the meeting called at his office yesterday to name committees and make preliminary arrangements for the Fruit Growers Convention. The meeting was put over till 3 o'clock this afternoon, and Mr. Dosch asks that there be a full at tendance. The meeting Is an Important one, as there is business to be transacted necessary to the success of the Fruit Urowers Convention. Grip Stox, Herb. Portland druggists are still selling considerable medicine for the grip, which has been more or less prevalent for the past four weeks. Physi cians blame the cold spell in December for Its coming and think there will be more or less annoyance from It while the cold weather lasts. Few, if any, fatalities have resulted from the epidemic alone, but many persons have been confined to their homes for a few days while it was roost seere.

The pretty little grossbeaks which visit this city In Win ter when the snow is deep in their haunts in the mountains, have put In an appear ance again. Last "Winter they did not come, as there "was no excessive snowfall In the mountains, but the Winter before they were here in large numbrs, and when the snow was on the ground here they were fed, Mrs. L-Blaumauer, In particular, causing large quantities of hemp seed to be scattered under the evergreen trees on the Postouice grounds, where hundreds of the pretty birds could be seen at a time feeding on It. There has been a heavy snowfall In the mountains this Winter and in consequence the grossbeaks are here again. A person who was at Meach am, on the summit of the Blue Mountains, early in July last, saw flocks of the gross beaks there, apparently not -in the least discommoded by the heavy frost at night, and feasting on the crumbs and scraps thrown to them by the station master there. He said they appeared to be very font of salt, and ate a lot he put out for them. It is not definitely known whether these birds, the evening grossbeaks, are natives of this region or not. They have been -ere for 25 years at least, but many have an idea that they were not here al ways, and some say that Walter Moffett, a citizen of early days, brought a lot of them here on a vessel from Australia and released them, and from these came all the grossbeaks now in the country. Perhaps some one can settle this ques tion authoritatively. Trout Fishing in Mid-Winter. Izaak Walton, probably on account of his having written a book on fishing, styled the "Compleait Angler," Is generally supposed to have been the greatest fisherman on earth. As he had patience to practice bait fishing, he may have been at the time he lived, which was a long while ago, but if he were living and fishing in Oregon these days he would have to take a back seat, for he could not hold a candle to Drs. Stolte and Moody, not to mention lots of others, who fish all Sum mer and all Winter, even when there is snow on the ground, and generally bring more fish to basket in one short Sunday than good old Izaak used to in a week. They were two of a party of a dozen or more who went down to Cathkunet and the region round about on Sunday, and they caught some S5 fine salmon trout and a fine steelhead salmon, while all the members. or the party made fairly good catches. Almost anybody likes to go fish ing in the Spring, when ail nature Is bursting Into foliage and bloom, when the trout will bite at an artificial fly and real files and gnats bite the fisherman, but the man who goes fishing with bait, when there is snow on the ground and frost in the air, is indeed an ardent disciple of old Izaak, and he earns all the fish he gets. The law forbids fishing in Oregon at this season, and fishermen have to seek streams on the Washington side of the Columbia, or there would be more of them going out. Condition too Crowded. Several dis tribution cases and desks for the car riers' room In the Po&toffice, rendered necessary by the increase in the number of carriers, have by order of Postmaster Croasman been manufactured here. They are made of quarter-sawed oak, and in point of finish and appearance are just a little ahead of the articles of the same kind made at the East and sent out by the department. They help further to crowd the room, and in connection with the crowded condition of every department of the office accentuate the demand for additions to the building to afford neces sary space for the convenient transaction of business. Every one has had occasion to notice the miserably inadequate space available for the money-order depart ment The general delivery room is crowded with the desk of the tracing clerk and three directory clerks, although the room Is barely large enough to ac commodate the general delivery business, and the intruders should have separate rooms. The mailing-room is also so crowded that the clerks have scarcely room to get around. Dr. Starr Attends Appeal. Dr. S. A. Starr, formerly of Sunnyside Methodist Church, will leave this evening for Ta coma, where the conference judiciary will hear me appeal he has made from the action of the Oregon Conference, which tried and .expelled him from the ministry. The judiciary is composed of ministers of the Northwest conferences, exclusive of the Oregon Conference. It will convene to morrow morning and probably conclude Its work Thursday. Its functions will be to review the evidence adduced on both sides at the former trial, the notes of the evidence being used. New evidence will not be admitted. However, his friends hope for a reversal of the decision, or at least a modificauon. Favors Building for T. W. C. A. Said a well-known business man yester day: "t wish to see the Young Women's Christian Association of Portland in a home of its own. free of all debt. Toward this end, if 100 men will give $100 each to purchase land for the building, I will give $100 myself. That will raise $10,100. If that won't work if 50 men can be found who will give $200 each, I will give $200. After the land Is bought. I will give an other $100 toward the building, provided that sufficient money is raised so that the building can be opened, free of debt. I do not wish my name to be known in this matter, and suggest that The Ore gonlan receive all subscriptions."

Sldovr Demands 30 From Dr. Thomas Parker for Xervous Ex haustion Dae to Boasting;. A dispute between Dr. Thomas Parker and A. F. Sldow regarding the payment of a bill for 535 for medical services will shortly be aired in Justice of the Peace Vreeland's Court, and the defense is a novel one. Dr. Parker, according to the court record, states that he professionally attended Sidow, who is interested in a library syndicate, between the 1st and 7th day of March, 1900, and that the bill amounts to $35, and is still unpaid. Sldow, by his lawyer, George S. Shep herd, has filed this unique defense: "That between March 1 and 7, 1900, while defend ant was indisposed and confined to his bed, and powerless to effectively protest, plaintiff made several visits to defendant, and remained on such occasions until nearly 3 o'clock In the morning, which visits were not in the nature of profes sional calls, and plaintiff occupied the time relating personal Instances of excep tional valor In Indian fights, remarkable examples of cool daring at critical mo ments, and wonderful exhibitions of phy sical stamina and endurance, followed by long scientific dissertations on ring tactics, interspersed with piactlcal dem onstrations of how fighting fields are won, and during said demonstrations plaintiff pranced up and down the sick chamber, driving his clenched hand, pro pelled, by a rigid shoulder, in dangerous proximity to defendant, in exemplifica tion of the soporific effect of the right hook. "Tha't by reason of plaintiff's long drawn tales, defendant became wearied and exhausted, and his sleep was broken and disturbed with wild and. troubled dreams, and his illness was thereby pro tracted and his nervous system excited, and defendant thereby suffered $29 worth of mental anguish and physical torment, and has been damaged in the sum of $39. "Therefore the defendant demands judg ment against plaintiff in the sum of $25 and costs of this action." "THE SORROWS OF SATAN" Dramatization of Miss Corelli's Book at the Marqaam. One cannot help wondering, when he reads Marie Corelli's "The Sorrows of Sa tan," how the devil could afford to spend somuch of his valuable time among a par cel of commonplace English people when the world was full of so much bigger game, but the fact that Miss Corelll chose to place him in that environment is re sponsible for a widely read book, and a play which is really the best and easiest way to become acquainted with the au thor's rather novel conception of his Sa tanic majesty. The play was presented at the Marquam last nignt by a good com pany, and to a good house, and, judging from its reception, it did not fall to make a very decided Impression. It Is, perhaps, true that the atmosphere was not suffi ciently lurid and redolent of brimstone to convince the audience beyond a shadow of doubt that the Prince of Darkness was before them and ensnaring struggling mortals In his net, but in these days, when the belief in a personal devil is not very general, that is entirely out of the question. The dramatic situations in which Miss Corelli causes her evil genius to participate, the trouble he leaves in his wake, and the baleful influence he ev erts over the mortals with whom he min gles, are all clearly painted, and the book gains, rather than loses, In dramatization. For those who have not read the story, It is enough to say that the devil, In the disguise of Prince Luclo Rimamez, a rich nobleman, comes to the abode of a strug gling author, "stakes" him to a few mil lion dollars, and causes him to fall mad ly in love with a beautiful girl, who, un like Margaret, prefers the devil himself to her adorer. Incidentally, Old Nick finds time to ruin a few of the characters, and as each soul he consigns to perdition les sens his chances of regaining his original high estate, he does considerable solilo quizing about his bad luck in landing so many victims. The beautiful girl finally married the author, so as to be nearer his diabolical friend, and the climax Is at tained when she declares her passion for the devil, and, on being repulsed, takes poison, to learn, In her death-scene, the manner of creature upon whom she has bestowed her affection. The plot runs through three acts, the devil revealing himself In a spectacular finale. The part of the devil is not an easy one to play, but Edward R. Mawson. to whom It has been assigned. Invests It with a lively interest, and at times rises to con siderable dramatic heights. He Is partic ularly good In the climax of the tljlrd act, when the wife of his friend grovels at his feet and Implores him to love her. His denunciation of her and of her type of woman Is beyond doubt the strongest passage In the play. Miss Emily Dodd, as Lady Svbil Elton, the girl who marries a man only that she may gain the heart of his friend, evinces an emotional tem perament well suited to the part, and her face, figure and voice combine to make more of it than one would suppose possi ble. Walter R. Seymour, as Geoffrey Tem pest, the author whom the devil has chosen as his principal victim. Is earnest and painstaking, and contributes his full share to the emotional scenes which are so frequent. Edmund Hogan makes an admirable impecunious nobleman. Julian Reed well fulfills the part- of the exag gerated youthful Duke; George O'Morris is a good grasping publisher: E. A. Fisher and R. D. Roberts make an amusing, if a trifle over-done, firm of solicitors, and Robert Dudley, as a weird valet to the devil, k? so exceptionally good as to make the audience wish that he were cast for a more important part.

CORNER THIRD the comedy In her impersonation of a title huntlng American girl, and does so to the eminent satisfaction of the audience. Miss Marie Curtis Is sufficiently soulful as a lofty-minded authoress, and Miss M. Ham ilton, a good Duchess. The play is elaborately staged, each act being a marvel of 6cenic beauty, and the concluding stage picture is one of the most effective that have ever been put on at the Marquam. "The Sorrows of Satan" will be the at traction tonight, tomorrow night and at the matinee tomorrow afternoon. AT THE NEW CUSTOM-HOUSE Stenmfltters Have Begun Work: Fin ishing the Interior. After several months of silence and sol itude, the interior of the new Custom house again shows signs of activity, as the steamfltters have begun operations under the contract of the Kruse Heating Company, of Milwaukee. Mr. Flaherty, president of the company, is In Portland supervising the preliminaries, and the work will be pushed to a finish forthwith. The contract for heating the building was taken at $21,233. The Congress Construction Company, of Chicago, has the contract for the interior finishing -of the building, and Mr. Ear hart, of the company, arrived yesterday to start the work, which has to be com pleted within 14 months. This contract Includes the marble work, plastering and hardwood fittings, and will cost the Gov ernment $118,000. The electric wiring contract was let to the Western Electric Works, of Portland, at $6550, and must be completed within three months. Bids for the plumbing have been adver tised for, and it is thought will be let to a Portland firm. The heating, electric wiring, interior finishing and plumbing will probably pro ceed all together, and as each contract will need quite a number of mechanics to fill within the given time, the new Custom-house will be the scene of a busy throng for several months. In about 18 months, or in July, 1902, the new Custom house will be ready for its interior fur nishings, and the officials of Uncle Sam will probably move in shortly thereafter. When the high board fence which sur rounds the building is finally taken away. and the frame buildings used as con struction offices are removed, this new Federal building will prove an ornament to that portion of the city. The cement sidewalks have long since been laid, and a green lawn ornaments the north and south ends of the block between the walks and the main walls. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Knobs o' Tennessee." "Knobs o" Tennessee," which opens at the Marquam Grand Friday and Saturday nights with a bargain matinee Saturday, tells a stirring story of life among the moonshiners of the Tennessee foothills. This season the production Is promised to bo better than ever before and has been embellished by new scenic settings painted with admirable fidelity by Benlah from ketches by Hal Reid, the author of the play. The author's work is of that quick, snappy and sharp style which has given Hal Reid a reputation as a word painter. The present company is remarkably ef ficient. Including Miss Alice Marble, the original 01' Mis' Preston, and such well known players as Lem B. Parker, L. Mitchell, Brian Darley, Elmer Jerome, J. H. Lorenzen, Frank Moynlhan, George FIschell, Miss Minnie Parker, Miss Mabel Hall, Teddy and Chrystal Vlzzard. KEEPING TO THE FRONT. The Fredericksburg Music Hall and Cafe is surpassing itself recently and is constantly furnishing such attractions as never fall to please and delight the au diences.

He will write for you, feed himself, play musical instruments, use joiner's tools ' of all kinds, lather himself, shave, comb his hair, take a cigarette, shuffle a pack of cards, play a game and open a bottle of wine. Not only this, but ho Is a lightning, armless artist. He paints a beautiful picture in oil colors, holding the brush in his teeth. The wizards of motion, Gillen Brothers, appear in an act the greatestof its kind In existence. Tho duet, "Miserere," from "Trovatore," is beautifully rendered by Signor De Caprlo, trombone, and Herr Ralston, cor net. The other features all tend to give those fortunate enough to be present a rare; treat. Fast Rnn to n Fire. PEORIA, 111., Jan. 21. The Are at Henry has been extinguished. A Rock Island engine hauled a steamer anil hose cart from this city to Henry, a distance of 33 miles, in 30 mjnutes. and the cre-.v had the fire under control promptly. The loss Is about $100,000, nine buildings being de stroyed. The fire started on the second story of Power's fair store, and spread north toward the City Hall, on Edwards street. The Insurance will amount, It Is estimated, to about $50,000. It's a mistake to go on losing appetite and strength. Hood's Sarparllla cor rects It.
