She had been In her usual health during the day, and made a trip to the West Side- in the afternoon. On her return she lay down on the sofa. Her eon asked her if she was feeling III. but she replied In the negative. As she did not appear for lunch, Mr. Epplng sent his child for her. She had gone to her room at that time feeling sick. A physician was called, who administered some medicine, and said to Professor Ep plng that his mother was only ellghtly 111 and would soon be over the attack. With this assurance he went to the We3t Side on business, but a message reached him when he left the car that his mother was dead. The cause of death is not known, but It is supposed to have been frcm old age and exhaustion. Mrs. Ep plng was born in Savannah, Ga., In 1831, and had made her home with her son slrce she came to Portland nine years ago. Three sonB survive her, J. Adrian Epplng, Portland: Julian Epplng.

A story comes from Oswego of a wed ding that took place within three miles of that town lately, and a subsequent charivari that terminated quite Joyously. The young couple expected their friends to give them a left-handed serenade, as they had heard threats to that effect, so they quietly stole off Into the woods while the rattle of tin cans and grind ing of the horse fiddle went merrily on. It got very cold sitting out in the tim ber, bo the bride and groom adjourned to the house of a friend. By and by, the serenaders discovered that there was no one in the house they were storming with noise, and they suspected the vic tims had sought refuge In the neighbor's house. Thither they repaired and on j-rarch found the groom hidden under a bed. He was brought forth to the light, ard gave the party a $S gold piece, when they retired from the scene, wishing the young couple much Joy. The money was not spent In riotous living, however, but was saved until one of the party came to Portland, where a bucket of candy and other knicknacks were pur chased for a big time, to which the bride and groom were Invited. The charivari party thus became the enter tainers, and there was a gala night with in three miles of Oswego. High School Alumni. The programmes for the recention tn h o-ivn . i,a Armory this evening In honor of the February class are out, and Judging therefrom, the affair promises to eclipse any of the past. It is surely novel in that the entertainment does not precede the dance as usual, but the various num bers are Interspersed between the dances, the principal ones being an address of welcome by the president of the alumni, a response by the president of the class, a song by the St. Helen's Hall quartet, the personnel of which is Mrs. Walter Reed. Mlfcses Helen Goss, Hilda Hegele and Ruth Scott; a reading by Miss Hose Button, and a recitation by Waldemar Seton. Those having the matter In charge were anxious to have the Hon. George H. Williams deliver an address, but owing to other engagements he could not accommodate them. Refreshments seem to be on the list, and the associa tion desires to have It understood that 8.90 Is the hour for festivities to begin, and that 8 o'clock, as inserted in the Invitations, was by inadvertence. Those composing the reception committee are Mrs. Nellie Walker Sealy, Mrs. Thoma3 G Green. Mrs. Lily Davy Thomas, the Mlss.fi Susie Tracy. Laura Northup. Mcllie Strowbridge and Ella McBride and Otto J. Kraemer. Swindler and His Soap. Several women In the city are regretting the de ception practiced on them by a smooth tongued vender of a magic soap which, he said, would take the stains out of cloth In less than no time. The vender incorrectly says he is from the store of e Morrison-street druggist, and usually continues: "I was a soldier in the Phil ippines, and am suffering from an in jury to one of my ears, which Is being attended to by a specialist, at a cost of JIG a week. To raise this money, I'm selling this soap, and, my dear madam, its guaranteed to ," and the man is bo eloquent that the victim usually pays the price asked for the soap four bits. Sometimes the swindler accepts 35 cents, but in every case so far as re ported, the soap he has left has been ordinary soap, and the stains in the c'oth have been immovable. The man's description is as follows: Well dressed, tall. 27 years old, fluent talker, smooth face, light complexion, blue eyes, gold in front teeth, and he pretends to be hard of hearing. Handsome Eagle. One of the finest specimens of the American eagle that h-s ever reached the city was received i-y Eerdlng & Farrell yesterday. The ' bird of the broad and sweeping wings" was dead from the effects of a load of d-Uwk shot administered at short range by George Beal. of Pillar Rock, but he was beautiful in death and measured 91 Inches from tip to tip of his wings aid had immense talons and a vicious liking beak. He was sent up to be duffed and mounted and If the taxider mist gets the proppr pose, the bird will emerge from his hands equal In beauty to any that ever graced a Fourth of J-'.v roster or a coin of the realm. Sakg Bbfork the Queen. Alister Mavkenzie. weM known in Scottish cir cles in this city, was one of the cholr slr.gtrs at the Queen's memorial service, he J last Sunday at the Armory. Mr. Mackenzie has had the honor of sing ing three times before the Queen, as a member of the choir of Crathie Parish Church, Aberdeenshire. Scotland, and is a!so a life-member of Crathie Musical Association, the members of which sang before the Queen on her birthday, when she was In the Highlands of Scotland. Will Vacate Streets. The City Council will vacate a number of streets across Sullivan's Gulch, east of Grand avenue, at their next regular meeting. on the 20th instant, unless remonstrance la made against It. The Oregon Real Es tate Company, owner of the land abut tirg, is the petitioner in the matter. The tract was platted for streets Tun ing north and south across the gulch, years ago. but the land owners do not think so many thoroughfares are prac ticable. Former Portlandbr Dead. William Griffith, a briokmason. formerly of Port land, died at Anaconda, Mont., Tuesday night, of blood-poisoning, which started frcm a scratch on his linger. He had been in the hospital for 12 weeks pre vlous to his death. A wife and two children survive him. Mrs. John Ed wards, of this olty, is a sister of the deceased. "Midsummer Night's Dream."

For Teachers' Examinations. County School Superintendent Robinson Is pre paring to hold an examination of appli cants for state papers, next Wednes day, February 13, in room 22 of the Park school. Principals Grout, of Park school, and Glafke. of Harrison school, will as sist, and the examination will extend over four days. Quite a number of applicants have signified their intention of striving for state certificates, and con siderable work during the session is an ticipated. County examinations are at present set for April and August, but the County Superintendent thinks April an awkward month for the purpose, as Spring schools begin in March and teach ers therefore cannot attend. A bill is now before the Legislature changing the time to February and August. Formerly the examinations were held four times a year, but the last Legislature changed It to twice a year. Pirated Books to Be Confiscated. Eight months ago a box containing 140 school books was received from Japan, consigned to a Japanese in Portland. The books, it was found upon examina tion at the custom-house, were pirated reprints of Barnes' readers, whirti are copyrighted in this country. The law says such books shall not be received by the customs officials, but the descrip tion was such that the Illegal character of the wares could not be determined before the package was received, and all that could then be done was to hold the books, which have been formally seized and will be confiscated if no one Inter poses legal claim to them March 4. They cannot be sold here, because that would be a violation of United States copy right laws. The books are said to be much inferior to those produced in this country. To Take Up Placer Claims. C. E. Lewis, formerly of Nome, was around yesterday securing powers of attorney to take up placer claims along Snake River in Idaho. He has been in the power of attorney business at Nome, but said the company which employed him did not become a permanent enterprise in that region. He will now transfer the power of attorney business to Idaho, where one man can take up 160 acres of min ing ground in each mining district, In stead of 20. if he can only secure seven powers of attorney. He had no difficulty In obtaining what powers of attorney he wanted, as none of the citizens applied to ever Intend to take up mining for an occupation, though whether he can dis pose of such claims without the con sent of the signers is a question. Return of Colonel Jocelyn. Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen P. Jocelyn, of the Twenty-first United States Infantry, formerly Captain In the Twenty-first In fantry, and of long service at the Van couver Barracks, was recently relieved from duty at Manila, and is expected to reach San Francisco shortly. He will report to the commanding General of the Department of California, with the muster out of the volunteer organiza tions now serving In the Division of the Philippines. Lieutenant-Colonel Jocelyn will be accompanied by his two author ized clerks, who will be transferred by the Chief Quartermaster at San Francisco to the Depot Quartermaster. Colonel Jocelyn discharged all state volunteers, Including the First Oregon, at San Fran cisco. In 1899. Will Not Build Hotel. K. Zelasko. of Aberdeen, Wash., was at the Perkins yesterday morning, when he read In The Oregonian the account of his furniture factory burning up the night before. At first he was inclined to think his friends at Aberdeen had attempted a Joke on him, but on wiring to parties there he found the news too true. His loss was about $10,000, he said, and he carried but $1000 Insurance. Mr. -Zelasko had In tended to erect a large hotel at Aberdeen this Summer, but the disaster of Wednes day night will Interfere with his plans. He left for home yesterday. Many Bicycles in Use. Streets and roads In Portland and vicinity are in as good condition as they usually are In the Summer time, owing to the prolonged dry spell. Wheelmen, however, do not realize this, as a rule, and still affect the sidewalks in the suburbs. Many wheels are In evidence and the racks of the big public buildings are kept full. Bicycle repair shop3 are as busy as In Summer, and even new wheels are being sold to some extent. The cycling season, it is thought, will open full early this year. Portrait of George H. Williams. William Cogswell, the well-known artist, has on exhibition at his studio in the Goodnough Building, an excellent oil painting of George H. Williams. It is a perfect likeness of the grand old man, and Mr. Cogswell has been the recipient of congratulations from some of the most prominent citizens In- Portland. Friends of Judge Williams and all members of the legal fraternity are cordially invited to call at Mr. Cogswell's studio and ex amine this excellent portrait. A. O. U. W. Librart Carnival.

Interesting: Conrse of Lectures In augurated by the Teachers' Association. The first of a series of six lectures by Professor Charles Mills Gayley, head of the Department of English Literature, University of California, was given last night In the High School Assembly Hall, to a highly-cultured and appreciative au dience, the Teachers' Association and their friends. "Rudyard Kipling, the Representative Poet of Our Race Today," was the sub ject of the evening, the lecture being replete with critical thought of a high order. A number of Kipling's poems were read to illustrate the ideas advanced by the lecturer, nearly two-thirds of the time being devoted to this pleasant enter tainment, and so happily were they given both those in vernacular and those in Queen's English that the audience was transported by them into quite an other atmosphere. Thus a very compre hensive and satisfying revelation of Kip ling's power was obtained. Professor Gayley Introduced his sub ject by saying that while Kipling Is be yond doubt the most representative poet of the Anglo-Saxon people, he is not nec essarily the greatest poet. He is the ro mantic poet of a romantic age, for this is an era of romance; we find It, In every thing about us, machinery, politics, litera ture. People run to read Kipling; he Is the man of the time, who understands and reveals the temper of the age as no other man understands or reveals It. What makes him the representative poet of the day? First, his popularity; there Is something in him that appeals to all hu manity, the people of all countries. Men read him as well as women; and when men begin to read an author It proves that his works have become a factor in the world of business, whether that busi ness is making dollars or making souls. The second element that enters into the constitution of a representative poet, Is permanence, durability of his work. It cannot be conclusively said that Kipling's work is permanent, but there is every probability that a man who has obtained such tremendous popularity, the greatest since Byron's day has come to stay. The third essential element of the representa tive poet Is worth, ideality. The vital significance and truth-telling power of Kipling's utterances argue that he is above all other men of the day the rep resentative poet of the Anglo Saxons. He has treated the significance of life with beauty and with distinction. He shows the characteristics of the great poet, in that he is the interpreter of Anglo-Saxon consciousness and the awakener of the Anglo-Saxon conscience. Professor Gayley then turned to Tommy Atkins, and showed that Kipling was one of the first of the great English poets who was not afraid to talk slang. He has realized that the English soldier had no less poetry or patriotism In him because he used the slang of the mess-table. Tom my Atkins' tribute to the "Widow at Windsor" was then read. "Such poets as that," asserted Professor Gayley, "Inter pret the consciousness of the Briton abroad to the Briton at home." The story that "Lest We Forget" was thrown away in the waste-basket by Kip ling as so much worthless rubbish was denied. Instead, Professor Gayley said he had it from a friend who was with Kip ling at the time, that Kipling came down to breakfast one morning with a beam ing face, and said to his wife: "By the grace of God, I believe I've written a poem!" This pcem was read by Profes sor Galyey to illustrate Kipling in his character of awakener of the English con science. That he understood the Ameri can temper as well as the English he showed by the "Story of the Fourth Di mension." "The Walking Delegate," and others. He comprehended our vital de fect and our vital strength; and knew that humor, promptness, common sense and energy were our prevailing traits. Some clever poems Illustrative of Kip ling's humor enlivened the lecture, and then Professor Gayley passed on to Kip ling's religion, which, he said, was work for the Joy of working, the spirit ener gizing always toward the best. The lec ture concluded with the reading of "The Envoy." The rest of the Gayley lectures will be as follows: February 0, "The Journalistic Novel, or Ro mance and Humor In Kipling"; February 11, "Some Poets of Social and Political Reform"; February 13. "Paola and Francesca," and oth er creat poems of today; February 15, "The English Novel"; February 10, "Three Poets of the Philosophy of Lifer-Thomson's 'City of Dreadful Night,' Omar Khayyam's 'Rubaiyat,' Browning's Rabbl Ben Ezra.' " It Is hoped the public will show their Interest by a large attendance. "WHEN THE QUEEN WAS YOUNG." Chicago Times-Herald, Feb. 1, 1900. Charles Mills Gayley, author of "When the Queen Was Young," the most notable poem yet called forth by the war In South Africa, Is professor of English literature In the University of California. Of Ameri can parentage, he received his early edu cation In the City of London, but later he entered the University of Michigan. He made a brilliant record as a student, and having graduated in the class of 1S78, was soon invited to a position on the univer sity faculty. He taught first Latin, then English, until he was called to his pres ent position on the Pacific Coast. Pro fessor Gayley is Joint author with Pro fessor F. N. Scott of "Songs of the Yel low and Blue," perhaps the most popular and original of American college song books. A recent work on literary criti cism, also written in collaboration with Professor Scott, has won instant recogni tion as an authority on this abstruse sub ject. Professor Gayley's latest utterance will doubtless make something of a stir in England, where he Is well known, Inas much as he received at Oxford two years ago the unprecedented compliment (for an American) of an election to the senior common room of Lincoln College. The poem Is as follows: When the Queen was young the gauntlet she flung In the teeth of the foremost crime. And the look on her face was Orient grace For a troublous world and time. And the Blooms were dispelled, and the mon itors felted. When the Queen was young and her battle was flung On the brood of crime. When the Queen was young her laureates sung Of brotherhood, freedom and right; And her prelates prayed and her counsellors made For the cause that was worthy of might; And, in war and peace, God gave increase When the Queen was young and her bugles sung Of the glory of right. But the century rollea, and the Queen was old, And only her heart was young; And her wise men died, and her poets lied And an upstart pack gave tongue To a lickerish creed, and few gave heed. In the rapture of gold, to the Queen and her old. Old heart still young. So her thousands went forth from the Isles of the north To spall a handful of men Whose home was their own, and whose succor the throne Of the god of battles, who then Was sudden to strike. There had never the like Befallen the north when her righteous went forth And the Queen was young. Repairing: Sullivan Gulch Bridges. The repair men have finished their work on the Grand-avenue bridge, over Sullivan's gulch, having put the sud- structure In fair condition. They are now at work on the Union-avenue bridge. At the south end the foundation timbers were found decayed and new ones were put in. Repairs are making to that part alongside the O. R. & N. embankment, where much weakness Is found. This bridge Is the oldest one on the East Side, and has been repaired so often that none of the original timbers Is now remain ing. City Engineer Chase hopes to hold it up a few years longer, and he no doubt will be able to do so. THE FIERY DISK OF MARS It is Now Visible Hlsh Up In the Eastern Sky. The fiery disk of our sister planet Mar Is In full view Just now, hastening on to its opposition, which will occur Feb ruary a, at which time It will bo 63,000,000 miles distant from our mother Earth. The opposition of a planet, par adoxical as it may seem, means that it Is on the same side of the sun with us, but being beyond the earth, it is oppo site the Bun to us. Mars is near the fine constellation Leo, or the Lion, high up in the Eastern sky about 8 or 9 o'clock. Steady and serene In outline, yet fierce in aspect, we can well un derstand how It came to represent the god of war. When the opposition of Mars occurred in August, the planet Is only 35,000,000 miles from us, and Is then three times Its present size. So large and fierce looking Is Mars at such times that it has on more than one oc casion created a panic among the ignor ant populace. It was at such an opposition that Asaph Hall discovered the two satellites of Mars, In 1877, with the great Wash ington refractor. These two satellites, Phobos and Delmos, are the smallest heavenly bodies known. The time of revolution of Phobos, the inner moon, Is 7 hours and 39 minutes. That is to say, it revolves about Mars a little more than three times every 21 hours, and presents all the different phases of new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter at each revolution. If there are, astronomers on Mars, what an oppor tunity for observing Its Inner moon at a slight distance of 4000 miles, and several times a day at that! All the large telescopes of the world are now turned on Mars for observation of- this interesting planet and its Llll putlan moons. The surface markings of Mars have been revealed to us through the labor ious and persistent watches of contem porary astronomers, notably Perclval Lowell on his fine vantage ground of Arizona and Mexico. To have traced and explained the existence of double canals on Mars (mostly due to seblaparelle), to have defined distinct north and south polar caps, to have announced not only that there are seasons on Mars, but that these seasons correspond most closely to those on our earth, may be considered achievements worthy even of the great scientific nineteenth century. In view of Tesla's recent promulgations of signals from Mars, we may well ask the oft mooted question, Is Mars Inhabited? Will that be an achievement of our new cen tury to traverse even so vast a space? It were hopeless to attempt to lift the veil of the future, and yet It seems that a wise, beneficent God would not have created so great a universe, to have peopled but the earth, and that this Il limitable space must hold life In abund ance, be it whatever form It may! MRS. L. ALTMAN. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Shooting the Chutes." Ollle Mack and Charles A. Murray, who made "Flnnegan's Ball" famous for seven years, are stellar magnates In the latest farce, "Shooting the Chutes," announced at Cordray's for all next week. These two performers stand in the front rank of real Irish comedians, and they are able to keep an audience In hilarious merri ment during a performance. In this lat est invention they have a vehicle which gives ample opportunity for the display of their versatile genius as fun-producers. This is particularly emphasized in the great Irish derby at the Bunco Beach race-track (in which three horse are ac tually used), and In the scene Introduc ing a real chute at work. A Scenic Marvel. "The Angel of the Alley," produced for the first time In this city on next Sunday, February 10, at the Metropolitan Theater, will mark another triumph for those suc cessful managers, Sullivan and Harris. It comes to this city heralded by the press of the country as being the most thrllllngly realistic production of the year. Dealing as it does with life in that won derful section of New York which has sheltered so much misery and crime, it cannot fail to interest the public. The advance sale of tickets Is substan tial evidence of the popularity of the production, and the management antici pates here Its success in other cities. Oriental Opera Company. Portland theater-goers will have an op portunity to welcome an old favorite next Monday night, on the occasion of the ap pearance at the Marquam Grand of the New York-Oriental Opera and Dramatic Company. A. Tanzman, the leading come dian of the company, played here in comic opera some nine years ago, and his excel lent work made him unusually popular. Miss Henrietta White, the soprano, is said to possess a voice of excellent range and tone. The bill Monday evening, the opening night, will be "The Witch, or the Jewish-Polish Peddler," a four-act comic opera. A comedy-drama entitled "Mosche ly oGrnischt, or Aref Ivin Klper," which was written by Comedian Tanzman, will be given Tuesday evening. The sale of seats will open this morning at 10 o'clock. Big Business of " '"Way Down East."

A secret of the pre-eminent tone beauty of the Stradlrorlus and Cremona violins lies in the expert selection of the wood. This is equal ly true of the modern piano, and In no part more necessarily than In the sounding board. In the Kimball piano the sounding board is made of the best selected mountain spruce of firmer, finer grain than any grown in lower altitudes. As a consequence they yield a more powerful singing tone, the wood being com pressed in such a manner as to obtain the tonal resonance of the rare violin. Chicago Chronicle. THE TREE OF CANADA'S EMBLEM. Exacting: Demand Which This Wood Supplies to the Modern Piano. The pin block In the Kimball piano Is con structed In the bass of five thicknesses of high ly seasoned mountain grown maple, the most superior and stanch wood for the purpose. These thicknesses are glued together, the grain of each layer running in the opposite direc tion to the one next it, thus rendering it im possible for the pin block to split and affording unusual solidity. As a consequence the tone of these instru ments is marked by flrmness, clearness, and brilliancy, and holds well in tune a most im portant item no matter how great the cli matic variations.
