THE MOTTXJXG OKEtfONTAN, FHIDAY KKBRUAKY 15, 1Q01. CiTY NEWS IN BRIEF Amuiemcota Tontsht. MARQUAM GRAND "The Rounders." CORDRArs THEATER "Shooting the Chutes." METROPOLITAN THEATER-'Tbo Angel of the Alley." Trapping Industry Declinino. A farmer's boy -was seen yesterday market ing a few muskrat skins, one mink skin, and about a dozen skunk skins at a com mission store on Front street. The amount he received for the whole was not large, out the lad'e eyes lighted up as he Jin gled the- coins in his pocket and remarked, 'I wish they had all been mink skins." The dealer, who handles hides, wool and furs, said the boy -was the first "trapper" he had seen for some time. "The fur business of this section Is nothing like what It used to be," he said, "and la falling off all the time. The fur-bearing animals are about trapped out and there is no longer enough left to pay any one for making a business of trapping. Beav er are still quite numerous in places, but it is no longer allowed to trap them, and as deer and elk are protected, there are o more deer skins to be bought. Coyote klns brought a good price last year and owing to this and the bounty on scalps, a great many coyotes were killed, and this has caused a decline In prices and the coyote skin business has gone all to pieces. Mink skins maintain a fair price, but mink were never numerous and are now scarce. A number of coon skln3 come In, but there Is not much value to them. A few bear skins also come in and vary greatly in price, really fine ones being scarce. Strange to say skunks seem to be getting more numerous in the "Willamette Valley, but their skins bring a small price. We get some Belgian hare skins but they arc worth only about 3 cents. There are a few others still com Ing in and occasionally a very fine skin, and the same may be said of fisher, but the days for trapping furs In Oregon will soon be over except in inaccessible parts of the Cascade and Coast ranges, w here many fur-bearing animals will con tinue to flourish for a long time. I ex pect to see pome pretty nice lots of skins coming in this Spring from such sections, as the heavy snow In the mountains will have a tendency to drive the animals down into valleys and places where they can be caught" Secured a Sbcretart. The Toung "Women's Christian Association of Port land, which has been on the lookout dur ing several weeks for a general secre tary, has Just succeeded in securing the scrices of Miss Alma Hunt, of Balti more. This is regarded as a stroke of good fortune. Miss Hunt is a gradunte of the Baltimore "Woman's College, and his been doing successful association work In her native state, New Hampshire, In the city association at Nashua. She comes highly recommended by the na tional committee, and will arrive next w e ek, probably the 20th or 21st. The only drawback to this arrangement will be the loss of Miss Elsie "West, who has been acting secretary, temporarily, until permanent one could be found. Miss "West's helpful presence In the city has been of the greatest service to the Port land organizers of the Y. "W. C. A., and she is sure to be greatly missed. .But she has already prolonged her visit here be yond her original intention, and is needed In Chicago. The association announces that its rooms will be ready for visit ors in about 10 days. Free Cookinq School. The "Woman's Club, operating through the home de partment, announces the opening of a free cooking school at the Home and In dustrial School for Girls (formerly Home for Unemployed "Women), 306& Third street, near Clay. Lectures and demon strations will be given on Monday, "Wednesday and Friday evenings of each week, to which not only those in the Home, but also all working women inter ested in the study of practical house keeping are Invited. A teacher In cook ing will be In constant attendance, as sisted by the club women, one of whom will be present and give a lecture or demonstration each evening. All girls attending a course of 21 lessons will re ceive a certificate of attendance, signed by the club committee. The opening lec ture and demonstration will be given Monday evening next, February 18, at 7 43 o'clock, at the Home, and will con tinue every "Wednesday, Friday and Mon day evening thereafter. All the working girls or women Interested In housekeep ing are invited to attend without charge. Listing Buildings for Assessment. The deputies whom Assessor McDonell has out looking over the city and noting all improvements made during the past year and listing them for assessment, find their work not so pleasant since the clear, cold weather ended. They have to carry a plat-book, which contains a diagram and description of each block in a certain district, and have in the course of their investigations to examine this frequently, and as when It Is raining one hand is employed In holding the book and the other In holding an um brella to protect the book, the deputy works at a disadvantage, and feqls the reed of a third arm. The deputies re port a very large number of improve ments, which will materially in crease the tax roll for the year. There are so far only two deputies in the field and they have been out for two or three weeks. Assessor McDonell having taken the matter of assessing improve mmts in hand earlier than usual. Mr. "Wilson's Lecture. The applica tion of Herbert Spencer's great formula to the themes of social life opens up many surprises to those who have not bcrn watching the thinkers and best ex positions of evolution. Such a surprise to some may be the thesis Mr. Robert H. W llson will maintain this evening, in the Filial science course at the Unitarian Chapel. That the largest amount of per sonal liberty can only be secured by thp groatest possible amount of intelligent co-operation, the meeting ground of so cialism and individualism, or the harmon izing of their conflict, will be sought along the lines which have been so Illum inated by biology and the kindred sciences. The lecture is commended to te thoughtful among all classes, and especially to employes and employers of labor. Death of Mibs Mak Gates. The body C Miss Mae I. Gates, granddaughter of he late Mayor John Gates, arrived here t night from her home near Chehalis. "W .sh , where she died last Tuesday from ?n attack of grip and. brain fever. Miss Gates was the only daughter of Freder ick F. and Annie Gate, and was born here 22 years ago. The family home was at Secotrt and Clay streets, and about 191 Miss Gates and her family left Port end for their farm near Chehalis. The funeral will take place at 10 o'clock this morning, from the home of the dead girls uncle, John Mair, 291 Elevonth street. Don't Speak as Thet Pass. Gustave Gross, of Lower Albina, was charged in the Municipal Court yesterday with as saulting his wife, Louisa, and he told tli's story: "I have not spoken to my wife for weeks. "We live in the same house, but in different rooms. One night recently, when I locked the door, my wife entered through the window. A famllv difHculty ensued." Gross was held in 525 ba'l for a hearing today. Chose a Poor Comforter. "When Henry Mulligan was charged with drunkenness. In the Municipal Court yesterday, he said. "I know I've been one dozen times before this court during the past two years, but I suffer so severely from pains in ray legs, that I'm driven to drink to oase the pain." Municipal Judge Cameron said that Mulligan had chosen a poor comforter, and fined the prisoner 52 Dental work free, at college, corner Fifteenth and Couch streets, except a small fee to cover cost of material for those In moderate circumstances,, Don't Forget that a good lunch will be served today by the women of Taylor Street Church, in the church parlors. Culinary Question Not Answered. "A Housewife" writes to The Oregonlan to say that a fashion magazine which she takes contains the following statement, and she wishps to know whether it Is true or not: "Strange to say. the sweet est and most delicately flavored part of a beef is the neck, and if people were more aware of this fact it might soon become the fashion and Instead of being the cheapest, would soon become the roost ex pensive part of the animal." It Is hardly fair to ask The Oregonlan to decide such a question which Housekeeper should de cide for herself by purchasing a beefs neck from her butcher and cooking parts of it in various ways. If the fashion mag azine had stated that the moon was made of green cheese there would have been some reason in applying to The Oregonlan for an opinion in the matter, but House keeper Is better prepared to ascertain the facts In regard to the sweetness, delicacy and flavor of beef's neck than The Ore gonlan. It may be that the fashion mag azines are not satisfied with dictating what people shall wear and desire to pre scribe what they shall eat: If so, it is go ing to be very hard on people who have formed their tastes and preferences in iv V S IPS X k al l5e5 IBS B m KxPtl lt( B Fl k&? I THOMAS Q. SEADROKE AS MAGINXIS PASHA. the eating line. It may be that the steak "from right back of the horns" Is the finest in a beef, but if so the fact has been kept secret a long, long time. When Housekeeper has completed her experi ments with beef neck, will she be good enough to furnish The Oregonlan with the result of her investigations, "not neces sarily for publication," but as evidence pf her good faith in the matter. If the neck Is the best part of a beef, there are a great many who would like to know it. Fulton "Wants Electric Railway. Residents of Fulton are very anxious for the construction of an electric railway to their town by way of the "Whltehouse road, and are getting up a petition fa voring the application made by Andrew Graydon for a franchise for such a line. The proposed route of the line is from First and Jefferson street along the west side of the Whlthouse road, through Ful ton, and thence out the Taylor's Ferry road. While the majority of the residents of Fulton are in favor of the road, there are quite a number opposed to it, on the ground that it would spoil the "Whltehouse road. The proposed road would be a good thing for residents of Portland who de sire to visit Riverview cemetery, as un der the present conditions it is necessary to walk the mile from Fulton to the ceme tery or drive there. Mr. Graydon is much In earnest about his road, and says he has good backing. Looking for a Location. E. P. Bren nan, of Rhinelander, Wis., writes to the Chamber of Commerce that a committee will leave that city about February 20, for a Western tour, to select a site for a screen-door factory. If a factory is built. It will go to an enterprising city with first-class shipping facilities and a waterway In reserve. The Wisconsin peo ple will not locate where they would be "hampered by transfer charges and be at the mercy of one road." They "prefer to have a number of switches or different roads direct to the plant." Mr. Bren nan asks a great deal of information about lumber supply, taxes and insurance, which the Chamber of Commerce will supply. The date of the committee's visit to Portland Is not known. "Will Go to Charity. F. R. Strong and H. C. "Wilson, the administrators of the estate of Margaret Lindsey, deceased, made a report to Judge Cake yesterday and recommended that, in accordance with the terms of the will, the sum of 51400 each be paid to the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, the Baby Home, and the Cltv Board of Charities. The terms of the will provided for an equal distribution of the funds between these three institutions, af ter the estate had been settled. Judge Cake ordered this distribution made.

Exnmlnntlon of the Campaign In Its Favor Doesn't Show Up "Well for Its Promoters. PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 14. (To the Edi tor.) The attempt to regulate the prac tice of medicine and surgery in any Ftate by statutory enactment, while laudable In the main, is more often than other wise open to censure from the standpoint of the friend of the public's welfare a consideration that calls for denunciation of unfair or vicious legislation of any kind. There is perhaps today no trust forma tlon in the United States that holds aa arbitrary a sway over the conditions which determine the relation between the man who has the goods to sell and the buyer of these wares, as exists in the organization known as the medical soci eties of the different municipalities and commonwealths of the country. It ss not going too far to state that the effort of every regular practitioner who urges the necessity for the enactment of state laws to regulate the practice of medi cine or dentistry seldom overlooks the urgent necessity which exists for pre serving the integrity of the society to which he belongs, as a close corporation. The more aggressive men who urge legis lation of this kind often practically ig nore all appeals of fair play from the purchasing public's standpoint. A number of years ago when the two rival baking powders of the East were making r. hard fight for the control of the ousiness or this field a prominent prac titioner of Portland who at the time was an honored member of the state medi cal society readily Indorsed the merits of one baking powder (for a most valu able consideration, of course), and then for a larger fee subsequently gave the manufacturer of the rival baking powder a stronger written Indorsement than he gave the man who had been unfortunate enough to appeal to him in the first place. And yet, the members of the "regular" school of medicine have the assurance to denounce "quacks" In their open meet ings. And still another instance, some eight or ten years ago a man of culture and of the highest attainments in his chosen profession, came to Portland to open a dentist's office. As he stated plainly at the time, there are two methods which a professional man can adopt to get himself before the people, one is to advertise openly just as an honest dealer in any legitimate line is privileged to do, or to impose on the public's credulity by a lavish display of horses and car riages or other accoutrements that will demand the public's notice. He wisely choose the first of the two methods. His marked success best attested the Intrinsic merits of the goods he had to sell which compaf his case the special skill it had xa .. him many years of hard work fo acquire, and the advanced meth ods he had adopted for alleviating the sufferings of that part of the community who were suffering from diseased molars. He hit the old-line dentists so hard here that after a year or more of warring against the fractious member of the den tal fraternity, they concluded to cry enough. With the promise to sin no more, the offending dentist, who by that time had more practice than he could attend to. was received into the local society of dentists with open arms. Like other men who have achieved their end through the display of superior talents he was open to suggestions of compromise, comport able, of course, with his own sense of justice and his personal dignity. The bill now before the House and Senate for the regulation of dentistry practice in this state is class legislation of the most vicious character. It is leg islation urged principally by the Port land dentists with the direct object In view of driving out of business a firm of dentists of this city who advertise In a way wholly legitimate. In an open meet ing of the looal dental society some time since one member asked bluntly if the bill as framed would In Itself drive "these fellows" out of business in Oregon The assurance that it would evidently! above all other considerations, com mended the proposed measure to his ap proval. It is very clear to any disinterested observer that the requirements of any applicant for admission to the state med ical or dentist's societies today are no more found in the skill of the man who wants to get in, than they are in his freely expressed opinion that he should not advertise, and that he will adhere strictly to the tenets of the faith which the "ethics" Of his SOCletv rprnimlio Tf Is the Individual practitioner against tho public, with the fullest indorsement of his brother member so long as Tie does conform in a strictly conventional way to the "ethics" of his profession. The people of the East learned yeans ago that a physician or a dentist may advertise and still be a man of superior attainments In his profession, and that the power given any medical society to turn down a holder of a diploma from any recognized school of standing simply because he advertsed was a dangerous authority to confer on any body of men as narrow In their views of large mo ment and so wedded to the Ignoble pre judices of their professions as are the average doctors and dentists of the old echool. In cases of malpractice the suf ferer at the hands of any practitioner al ways finds an easy way for redress, and beyond this the diploma of any advanced college of recognized merit is protection enough for the public to demand at the hands of a state medical or a state dental society. Portland has witnessed the success of a number of "advertising doctors" who were men of marked ability. Dr. Mont gomery, of the Copeland Institute, has taken two post graduate courses In one of the greatest of New York's hospitals. He is a man of culture, a gentleman in all his Intercourse with his fellow man, and fair-minded to a marked degree. He Is not only a man of ability in his profes sion, but a man well read on all general topics of general discussion. He has per formed operations In his Institute In Port land that have called for the heartiest congratulations on his achievements from his friends among the "regular" doctors. On his small fee of 55 a month for the treatment of all cases, he has amassed no small fortune since he first estab lished himself In Portland. No single ac tion of his since he first located here has subjected him to the least bltbf public censure, and yet he was refused admit tance to a local club that does not at tempt to go beyond the bounds of good personal character In passing on appli cations for membership, simply because he "advertised." A doctor of the "regular" school per formed an operation not long ago for which he demanded a fee of 52500. He did gef 51500 after a fight in the courts. Many a man in moderate circumstances In Portland has seen his entire savings of several years or more wiped out In his attempt to meet the demands of a local practitioner who had attended him or his family through some trying spell of sick ness. If the appeal for legislation by the dentists or the physicians is made on the basis of sentiment, let this sentiment be of a wholesome nature, from the standpoint of the layman, the man who Is called upon to support In' luxury the members of close societies who cry out the loudest for "protection." "FAIR PLAY." "THE ROUNDERS" TONIGHT Thoniaa l. Scabrooke Company nt the Mnrqunm Theater. Thomas Q. Seabrooke, whose art as a creator of hilarity has kept him at the top among the comic opera stars since he leaped to distinction years ago in "The Isle of Champagne," is booked for appear ance at the Marquam Grand tonight, Saturday matinee and Saturday night in "The Rounders," the sparkling gaiety with which he packed the .New York Casino for 202 nights last season. "The Rounders" Is described as a comio opera vaudeville, in three acts, by Harry B. Smith, and the music is by Ludwig Englander. The story opens In Biarritz, a Parisian watering place, at the height of Its gay season. Among the guests are the Marquis Baccarratt and his young American wife, a Philadelphia girl, who has been carefully brought up by a worthy family of Quakers. Driven des perate by the Quakerish prudery of his wife, which she really carries to the laughing point, the Marquis seeks conso lation in the society of Thea, a dancer, who Is the pet of the Paris boulevards. An accident betrays the husband's gay doings, and lands the wife In the French capital simultaneously with the arrival of the husband, who Is there by appoint ment with Thea. With American decision the jealous little Quakeress penetrates boldly Into the greenroom of the theater In which her rival Is appearing, where she discovers her fickle husband at the siren's feet. The wife waits until her husband has vanished, and then, without revealing her Identity, wins the sympathetic interest of the actress. The little Quakeress asks the actress the secret of captivating and holding the affections of men. and the dancer, by hiding her visitor behind a screen, gives her an object-lesson in a scene which follows, using the wife's own husband as one of the foils. Chagrined and defiant, the good little wife deter mines to try her own powers of fascina tion, as soon as she can find a suitable man. She has not long to wait. She finds an all too willing subject in Maginnls Pasha, an Irish Turk that is to say, an Irishman wrecked upon the coast of Turkey, who has been adopted by the Sultan, and who Is now running the gamut of Parisian gaiety. It develops that, in his wild oats days, Maglnnis broke the heart of Seraphine, the aunt of Thea. and now the stage maid of tha celebrity. Seraphine discovers the indentity of her recreant lover just as he Is about to repair to a rendezvous with the Quakeress, entered upon by that very proper little lady for the sake of the lesson it may convey to her husband. Maglnnis, however, finding the wife in Thea's dressing-room, believes it Is Thea herself with whom he Is co quetting. The wife schemes carefully, with the result that her husband is ent to a hotel to wait In vain all night for Thea, while the lady is decoyed elsewhere. Seraphine, who, by the way, Is fair, fat and fifty, meets Maginnls when he Is In such a state of intoxication that he imagines she is Thea. As the Marquis knows Thea could not have met the Irish Pasha and doesn't know of Seraphine, and every other cir cumstance points to the certainty that It is his own good little Quakeress wife who Is the reckless partner of the Turkish Celt in the orgies of the night before, his anxiety Is extreme. The end of the piece, of course, clarifies the wife's conduct, enlightens Maginnls and deals the husband a needed lesson. The company Includes Jeannette Lowrle, Bertha Waltzinger, Nellie Lynch, Will C. Mandevllle, Harry Stuart, Jake Bernard, Herbert C. Crlpps, Emma Naylor, Francis Tyson and Mabel Blake.

"The Prisoner of Zenda" has been ac corded an approval that has been given comparatively few literary dramatic com positions of late years. Other dramatiza tions of popular novels that have been received with popular favor have been successful in retaining the beauty of the literary work in the dramatic presenta tion, Some have made the author's ideas subordinate to the scenic artist's effects; others have largely obliterated the value of the Intellectual work, to permit of the introduction of a "sensation," while still others have absolutely thwarted the au thor's purpose, In order to fit the manner isms or Individuality of the actor or act ress, who has essayed the stellar role. But In the drama of "The Prisoner of Zenda," the literary atmosphere, the liv ing realities, the distinct personality that Anthony Hope gave his theme and each of his characters, are faithfully reproduced. An excellent presentation of the play is promised. "The Country Girl." "The Country Girl." The name sug gests gingham frocks, pinafores, sunbon nets, milk pails and a soubrette with a more or less soiled countenance and frisky dances, but it was an entirely dif ferent country girl which William Wy cherly gave to the stage in the year 1672,' and which has held its own as a drawing card ever since. This country girl was of the period when the stately minuet was the only dance known in civilization, and when gallants In purple and fine linen did battle royal for the favors of their "ladyes falre," and Is a comedy of the old school, depending upon the brilliancy of its lines and the sparkle of Its wit for its humor instead of mod ern horse play. It has been termed "the champagne of literature of that period," and Its froth and sparkle lend a charm to a most original story. This Is the play which the late Augustln Daly re vived for Miss Rehan and in which that well-known star scored such a tremendous success three years ago. This will be the Shirley Company's opening bill at Cordray's, Sunday night, and the management promises a produc tion, of It which will be worthy of the company and the house. B entity on Trial.
