WITH THE ATHLETES Puget Sound Bowlers Suffer Defeat in Portland MULTNOMAH GETS FOUR GAMES St. Helen's Hall Team Defeated at UunKct-Uall by Multiioinnh An nexContests at Handicap Golf Paper Ckaae. The Puget Sound bowlers who arrived last evening- were given an enthusiastic welcome, and also two defeats by the teams of the Multnomahand Commercial Clubs. The Multnomah Club bowlers were In line form and took four straight games from the Seattle Athletic Club. The Commercial Club men took three games out of four from the Olympic Club team of Tacoma. The visitors played In good form on the unfamiliar alleys, and accepted their defeats as true sports men. At both clubs there was a good attendance of bowling enthusiasts, and lucky strikes by the local men and the visitors were cheered Impartially. The big scores were made at the Mult nomah Club, where the Seattle Athletic Club was bowling. Nelson, of Seattle, made the highest game score of 65, and four game score of 215, bowling in excel lent form. Craft led the Multnomahs with a total of 192, and the best game score of 62. The outcome of the contest last night shows that Multnomah has the best team in the Northwest, as the Seattle team recently defeated the Ta coma Club six games out of eight, and the Multnomah Club defeated the Com mercial Club five out of eight games. The Seattle men bowled a splendid, steady game and made a strong spurt at the finish, but the Multnomahs fol lowed suit, making their highest score of the night.

" Defeated St. Helen' Hall Team at Basket-Ball, 7 to 5. The Multnomah ladies' basket-ball team deefated the SL Helens Hall team, at the Multnomah Club last night by the score of 7 to 5, after an exciting contest In which the result was in doubt up to the last few minutes of play. The game was viewed by several hundred enthusi astic spectators, who were about equally divided in feeling, and who cheered their favorites to the echo. The game was fast and snappy, and as the score see sawed back and forth, every one had a chance to test their lung power to its ut most ability. The victory of the fair wearers of the winged "M" was due to their superior physical condition and bet ter team work. Both these points told heavily In the second half, and enabled the ladies to pull victory out of what at one time seemed almost sure defeat. The contest was most satisfactory in every way, and the decisions of the umpire were met without a word's protest, which was In Itself one of the most pleasant features. "Where so much of good playing was shown on both sides It was difficult to pick out the stars, but the all-round work of Miss Hilda Hegele was perhaps the feat ure of the evening. Miss Hegele was In the game from start to finish, and al though she was pitted against the most formidable player of the rival organiza tion, she bore off her share of the honors. Miss "Wasserman's work was also of the very best, and she distinguished herself by throwing a difficult goal from the field. Miss Murphy contributed largely to the score by making two baskets and a third that was not allowed. In fact, the whole team played In splendid form. For the Hall team Miss Lanyon carried off the honors. She had the ad-antage of weight and height, and made good use of both. She scored all the points for her team by her accurate goal throwing. Miss Car lisle also did some excellent work. The Game Itself. The game was called a few minutes af ter 9 o'clock and both teams were greet ed with hearty applause as they came on the floor. All through the first half the play was fast and furious on both sides. The only points made were by Miss Lan yon, of the Hall, who threw a basket from a foul by Multnomah, so that when time was called the score was St. Helens Hall 1, Multnomah 0. The fine work all came In the second half. The Multnomah team took a very decided brace, and, after a few minutes of play. Miss Wassermann threw a basket from the field, putting her team over in the lead. The supporters of St. Helens' Hall soon had a chance to yell, however, for on two successive fouls Miss Lanyon threw two baskets and the Hall was one ahead. A few minutes later Miss Helege tied the score on a throw from a foul. "With the score three to three both teams worked hard, but the Multnomah team work, which had been Improving steadily, and their good condition told heavily, and Miss Murphy soon threw a basket from the field, and later duplicated the perform ance. This was Multnomah's last scoring. A minute before time was called Miss Lanyon threw a pretty basket and the final score was 7 to 5.

The paper chase yesterday afternoon, In spite jof the bitter cold and Intermit tent showers, drew out the largest and most picturesque crowd of the season Over 50 riders gathered at the starting place near the D. P. Thompson school, and the horses and their riders, with here and there a dash of red contrasting with sober black habits, making a very pretty sight At the finish on the boule vard near the starting place, a large crowd of spectators had gathered, pedes trians, horsemen and women, and a number in various equipages. A quarter mile from the flag at the fin ish, the hounds were lined up for the dash in. At the starting signal, down the home stretch the riders went at full gallop, about 20 abreast in the front rank, straining every nerve for place. Men without caps, girls with hair streaming in the breeze, past the finishing point they swept. Near the end of the dash John Latta forged to the front at least two lengths and came in first, with Ham ilton Corbett second, and all the riders well bunched. , Ambrose Cronln and E. T. Chase were the hares and laid a deceptive trail for the honds. The latter lost the course completely at one point, where the wind had obliterated all the traces of the pa per scent thrown out by the riders. The hares finished at least 15 minutes before the hounds came down the home-stretch. The ride proved enjoyable and exhil arating In spite of the bitter cold and the rain at the finish. About 35 riders In all went over the course. On the Golf Links. There was a large turn-out yesterday on the Waverly Golf Club's links,. Fully 100 people went over the new course, and the changes which have been made by the greens committee were much appreciated. In the morning the men's singles compe tltjon resulted In a tie between P. B. Glfford and A. A. Wright. Mr. Gifford's actual score was. 94. handicap 1; net, 93. Mr. Wright's score was SS, handicap 3; net, 93. The scores of the next two play ers were also tied. J. E. Young making 98. handicap 3; net 93: and T. P. Futcher scoring 103, handicap 8, net 95. The first prize In the mixed foursomes competition In the afternoon was won by A. L. Mills and Mrs. H. C. Wilson, with a score of 115, handicap 10: net, 105. W. W. Cotton and Mrs. Ben Campbell took the second prize with a score of 122, handi cap 16; net, 105. The next best score was made by B. Mackay and Miss King, with 115. handicap 7, net 108. All of the matches were finished before the rain, and the day was fine for golfing. Portland X. M. C. A. Beaten at Scnttlc SEATTLE. Feb. 22. The 'Seattle Y. M. C. A. basket-ball team tonight defeated the team from the Portland Y. M. C. A. for the championship of the Pacific Northwest by a score of 37 to 20. The visitors were completely outclassed.

Malley is a native of Philadelphia, 3S years of age, and for the past 13 years has been a resident of this city and t en gaged continuously and successfully in the grocery business for the past five years at the corner of Third and Ankeny streets. He has always been a Democrat of the liberal type, and has never taken an active part In politics, but was always willing to help the party or a friend.. He resides at 55 North Seventh. He says he never sought the office or had any Idea of getting It. About a week ago two Sen ators asked him if he would accept the office, but he did not give them a decided answer. Yesterday he received a telegram asking him to give a decision, and he replied that If It would be for the good of the party he would. An hour or two after he received congratulations on his appointment. Mr. Malley stands well In the business community, and Is a genial, jovial, straightforward man who has hosts of friends. P. L. Willis, the minority member of the commission. Is a lawyer. He is a Re publican of strong Mitchell proclivities. He made his first appearance in politics as a delegate from Marion County to the union state convention which met at Cor vallls, March 29. 1866. He was a delegate from Marion County to the Republican State Convention of 1870, and from Mult nomah County to the State Convention of 1890. In 1895 and 1896 he sat In the con ventions of the Republican League of Oregon. In 1896 he was a Mitchell dele gate to the State and Second Congres sional District Republican Conventions. In 1890 the Lotan faction cleaned out the Simon faction in the Multnomah County primaries, and Mr. Willis was nominated for State Senator. The Democrats nomi nated ex-County Judge John Catlln, and, though Mr. Willis was cut by many of the Simon people, he pulled through and served at the sessions of 1S91 and 1893. L. T. Peery is a hidebound Democrat. He was elected to the City Council from Alblna In 1896. In January, 1S9S, he sold his grocery store and took a stock of goods to Alaska. Shortly after he re signed his seat In the Council and was succeeded by Martin Wallace. Mr. Peery was In business In Alaska until about nine months ago, when he returned and began dealing in real estate. Had to Walt for Conductor. A delegation of Portlanders who went to Salem Thursday evening experienced a delay from a rather singular cause. At some station about half way to Salem, while the conductor was In the telegraph room waiting for orders, the train started off without him. His absence was discovered by the time the next station was reached, and the train was side tracked until he came up. The conductor who had chartered a gang of section hands and a hand car and started In pursuit of his runaway train, soon ar rived, and assumed command. None of the passengers could find out how the train came" -to start without the con ductor, and he did not know. A little medicine-of the right kind, taken at the right time. is Invaluable. That means Carter's Little Liver Pills, and take 1 them now. NORTH BEACH TIDE LANDS HOW POttTLAKDBItS MAY PnOTEeT Tlillt PltOPERTY. Washington Legislature, Is Consider lag a BUI to .Make thc-llfraco Beach a Pabllc Illgrhirar. Somo misunderstanding about the II waco Beach tldelands seems to prevail here, and the following statement show ing their present status will interest many Portlanders who own property along Nerth Beach Under Ihe laws Of the .Slate, of Wash ington the ocean tldelands may be leased or purchased. Last Spring some people living at Seattle attempted to lease all the tldelands brt Long Beach, a distance of some 23 ot 23 miles, excepting one sec tlort lh front of what 1b called the Tinker claim, the tldelands. ih front of the Tinker claim being one mile. Lands which are to be purchased or leased from the state are put up at public auction at the county seat, and all these tldelands were so offered .for sale or lease at South Bend last June. For the purpose of protecting certain parts of the beach. H. W. Corbett, Jacob Kamm and Frederick V. Holman leased M. J. MALfcEY. OXE OF THE NEW FIRE about 3Vi miles of this beach for the term of five years. The parts of the beach leased by Mr. Corbett and Mr. Holman extend from North Head up to Tinker's south line what is locally called "Long Beach." Mr. Kamm's land Is situated several miles further up the beach In front of what is known as the Easter brook claim. These Seattle people purchased the mile of tldelands in front of Tinker's claim, and ia r flve years all the rest of uie beach, being distance of about 20 miles. This purchase or iand Was made on a time contract, such as it. ordinarily entered Into In the sale of state iands In Washington. These Seattle peoplt. claim that In addition to the contract for the sale of this mile of tldeland they have certain reserved rights of purchase under said leases. A bill was Introduced in the Washing ton -State Senateby Mr. Megler declaring this beach a public highway, and provid ing that no conveyance of said tldelands should ever be made, and also providing that the holders or ail leases or contracts of sale could surrender the same for cancellation to the state authorities. A serious legal question, however, arises as to the power of the state byalaw to do away with rights which th'e 'state has granted to individuals. This question arises under the Constitution of the United .States prohibiting a state from passing any law .violating the obligation of contracts. And unless these contracts and lease are canceled, the bill may be defeated before the Legislature, or, If It passes, be set aside by th'e courts. These Seattle people assert that .they have, been jo the texpense," outside of moneys paid on these contracts and leases, of about $500. and while the bill has passed the Senate, they say that it cannot pass the House and become a law unless thls money Is paid to them, and these contracts and leases canceled. It Is therefore of the utmost Import ance to all people Interested In the beach that this $500 be raised Immediately, so that there can be. no objection to .the passage of the bill or to Its legality. Messrs. Corbett, Kamm and Holman sim ply took their leases for their own pro tection and for the protection ot .others along the beach, and will surrender their leases for cancellation without any claim for compensation from the other beach owners. Some money has already been subscribed, but all persons Interested should subscribe without delay, so that this sum of $500 may be, raised forth with, In order that all opposition to the passage of the.blll will cease. Subscrip tions may be made to Frank Hncheney. Some persons on the beach have pur chased school lands, and have an Idea that that Includes the tldelands.. But that is not true. In the sale of school lands the State of Washington docs not part with any of the tldelands in front thereof. All lands sold by the State of Washington, except .tldelands, only go to the ordinary high-water mark. Ocean tldelands are sold by the linear chain. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "The Eleventh Hour." All true lovers of melodrama, pathos, wit and humor should see "The Eleventh Hour," which comes to Cordray's Sunday and all next week, with a souvenir mat inee Saturday. This will be the first pro duction of this play In this city. It has met with the most pronounced success everywhere that it has appeared this sea son, and Is pronounced by press and pub lic to be Lincoln J. Carter's greatest ef fort, and if box-office receipts are a crite rion to go by, "The Eleventh Hour" is certainly a winner. The play Is gorgeously equipped with scenery by Messrs. Buhler and Mann, the well-known scenic artists. The properties and effects are said to be superb. The last act. the millionaire's drawing-room, 'is said to be the handsomest and most ex pensive stage setting that has ever been presented. "Uncle Tom's Obln." When will the time come when "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will lose Its charm to the rising generation? Judging by its present freshness, its alluring powers will be pe rennial. There-is something in the skill ful combination of the pathetic and hu- morous tbs-t never fall to- fascinate, rod the story that it tells of the suffering of of the poor slaves appeals directly to the finest sensibilities of the human soul. The Ed F. Davis colossal "Uncle Tom's Cabin" company will appear at the Metro politan Theater one week, starting tomor row 'night. The sale of seats opens this Inorning at 16 o'clock . 8ons& and His Band. The sale of seats for the SoUsa's Band concerts- will open this hiorning at 10 A. M. The band gives two concerts at the Marquatai Grand, Tuesday afternoon and evening, February 26. An interested observer of tho Sousa concerts this season has made tho dis covery that the popular bandmaster and composer has started a second edition In nis tamous collection oi meaais. insieao. of the glittering array of bejeweled dec orations, that formerly covered complete ly the manly chest of the "March King," there now may be seen four simple med als defending from varl-colorcd ribbons. The first, and the one that Sousa prizes most, is the sprockeUshaped badge that was the official emblem of the Sixth Army Corps in the Spanish-American war. hanging from the American colors. It will be remembered that Sousa was ap pointed musical director with the rank of Captain on the staff of Major-General James H. Wilson, but the war closed be fore the Sixth Corps was called Into act ive service, and tho bandmaster had no opportunity to achieve martial glory on the. field of battle. The corps badge was sent to' Sousa by General Wilson at AND POLICE COMMISSIONERS. Paris before the General was ordered to China. The assisting soloists are Blanche Duf field. soprano, and Bertha Bucklin. vio linist. WOMEN'S INTERESTS. Ther Are as Varied as Those of the Other Sex. CASCADE LOCKS, Or., Feb. 20. (To the Editor.) Your correspondent of the ISth Inst., who signs her letter "A Mother," may be willing to burden her sex with the responsibility tor a the fuuitd una vice.8 of mankind, but I doubt if other mothers who consider it not only their privilege but their duty to have a few Ideas not Immediately connected with their household cares, will be so willing to acknowledge that they are chiefly to blame for the existence of the saloons, gambling dens and other evils Incident to, our "Christian" civilization. It seems quite unnecessary for the writer of that letter to state that she never had time to think of anything outside of raising her family, 'for that unfortunate fact is very evident If Tve could only rid ourselves of the oid Idea that In order to be "womanly" women must confine their thoughts to any particular subject or class of subjects. It w;5uld be mucin better for both mothers ahd children. I'know of no subject which is of legitimate interest to men In gen eral which Is not of equally legitimate In terest to women In general. Science, nat ural, social and domestic; politics; the rearing and education of children; the dis cussion of all social and economic evils, with a view to their elimination; sports; literature, art and music are all of real Interest" and Importance, and should be no less so to women than to men, and vice versa. A man does not expend all of his time and energy In being a father, and it Is quite possible for a woman to be a successful-mother and at the same time a woman, bf Intelligence and wide Interests, provided that she does not attempt moth erhood on too large a scale, which Is a greater- mistake than nofto attempt It at all. The woman who spends all her time and "energy in, being a mother at the ex pense of her development In other ways will probably have to endure the humilia tion of seeing her ambitious boys and girls outgrow her companionship. As for Mrs. Nation, her Ideas and meth ods should be considered and judged en tirely Irrespective of her sex. The fact that she is a woman reflects neither credit nor discredit upon her actions. She is either right or wrong, but she is not either "womanly" or "unwomanly." Neither Is she "desexed." whatever that may mean. This practice of placing one class tof virtues In one category and call ing them. "manly," and another class of virtues In another category labelled "womanly" Is certainly a mistake. Hon esty, self-respect,, and Independence of thought and action are admitted to be manly characteristics, but are they any the less womanly also? Refinement, ten derness chastity, love of children and home are admittedly womanly, but are they not equally manly? The Ideal char acter, whether masculine or feminine. Is composed of strength and tenderness. The ideal man Is strong. Independent, yet ten der. The Ideal woman Is tender, yet strong and Independent. If Mrs. Nation is right there was no reason why she should have waited for some man to do what she has done. If she Is wrong her being a woman does not make her any triore culpable. ANOTHER MOTHER.

Returning Soldiers Tell Hovr Close Imprisonment of Tafrals Has Met With Good Results. Many members of the Thirty-seventh United States Volunteers are passing through Portland In spuads of 20 or so, to their homes In the East these days. The regiment was discharged last week at the Presidio, after having returned from Luzon, where the boys saw on an av erage about 20 month's service chasing Tagals. They all agree that the rebel lion is on its last legs, having long slnco petered out into desultory skirmishes In which a score or so of insurgents beat a hasty retreat after firing a few shots from ambush. The old method of capturing Filipinos, keeping them In the guard house for a few weeks and turning them loose again, with a few dollars In their pockets, after the trecherous little fellows had fattened up, Is now giving place to the more effect ive one of sending the prisoners to an Island where they are kept from further mischief by a strong guard. Good re sults are already apparent from this new scheme, according to these boys, and the final total purification of Luzon is only a question of a short time. The returning volunteers are all young men, some mere bbys, but they are all glad to get away from the Philippines and some of them express a desire to never see Manila again. The hot weather is the main objection they make when asked their reason, as even the rains are of a warm, sickly nature that is con duslve to growth In the swampy rice paddocks, as well as of malaria In the human system. Few, If any, of the sol diers passing through Portland have es caped the ravages of dysentery, malaria, or mountain fever, and the high alti tudes are reported fully as sickly as the marshes. The food furnished by the Gov ernment, they think. Is not adapted to a tropical climate, as It consists of bacon, salt beef and canned salmon. The beans are always welcome and considered healthful, while rice has become quite a favorite dish In consequence of it being easy to digest. A large number of soldiers will be dis charged between now and June In the Philippines, and these boys think quite n proportion of them will pass through Portland on their return to the various states where they were mustered in. The Eleventh cavalry, they say, will soon close Its career In Luzon, while all regi ments from the Twenty-sixth to the Forty- ninth will have completed their term of enlistment early In the Summer. The soldiers passing through Portland say they prefer this route homeward, on ac count of the scenery, the cost of reaching their homes being the same over all routes. They go East from here mostly over the O. R. & N. and Union Pacific. DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTION Mrs. Fnlrlinnki Wns Elected Preal-dent-Gcncrnl. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Mrs. Charles W.

Now that there Is probably to be an appropriation of $100,000 for buying the exclusive right to the high explosive thorite. Invented by Dr. Tuttle, of Tacoma, In conjunction with the Isham shell, there Is consider able speculation In Washington, particu larly at the War Department, as to wheth er or not the two Inventors will agree to sell their patent rights for this sum. It Is claimed that they have been to a very considerable expense in producing this explosive shell, and that the sum named will not compensate them In anything lllce the degree they ask. It will be recalled that Dr. Tuttle asks 5100.000 for his patent to thorite, while Mr. Isham asks the same amount for the shell patent. The mem bers of the delegation from Washington have not had any Intimation as to the intention of Dr. Tuttle, but are Inclined to the opinion that Jie should receive more than the $50,000 he would receive under the pending bill. In case this Is declined, an effort will be made at the next session to have the full amount asked appropriat ed for this purpose. John Vincent, coroner of Jefferson County was found guilty Wednesday of cruelty to animals, and assessed the min imum fine of $1 and costs.
