THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusement Tonltsbt. CORDRAYS THEATER "The Village Par son." METROPOLITAN TliEATER "Held by the Enemy." Grosbeaks rx Large Numbers. A stranger In the city, passing down Sixth street yesterday morning, noticed a flock of birds flying from he trees to the ground In search of food. Their beauty and tameness attracted his attention, and he Inquired what they were. He was told that they were grosbeaks, which from the description he gave of them they evidently were, and he was further told that the birds were Imported. He sent a note to The Oregonlan to let It be known that these birds are here In numbers. The evening grosbeak is a native of this coun try, has its habitat In the mountains, and has visited this city, as well as other towns in the Willamette Valley, for many years whenever there Is a hard Winter in the mountains. It has been stated that these birds were introduced here from Australia, but this is an error. The fact of their arrival In the city was pub lished several months ago, and scores of Items in regard to them have been pub lished in The Oregonlan during the past 20 years. They did not visit the city dur ing the Winter of 1S99-00. but the preced ing Winter large numbers of them came in, and when there "was snow on the ground here, hemp seed, etc, was spread under the trees In the Postofflce grounds by some kind-hearted women. The num ber seems to be larger every successive year they come. In a short time they will be off to the mountains, and will be seen here no more until there comes another hard Winter in their haunts. Latest Dead Beat. Schlfller, the latest globetrotter freak who Is beating his way around the world, called at the City Hall yesterday to have the city seal attached to his "clearance" papers. It Is said that he asks nobody for anything, and that what he pays is "nothing to nobody." While waiting, to be "sealed," and sur rounded by a number of admirers, who appeared to look upon him as a sort of hero, a bystander asked him bluntly what useful purpose was to be served by his encircling the globe in the role of a dead beat. It was further remarked that there were enough tramps beating their way around through the world, without him adding himself to the list, and that It would be more to his credit to be at work making an honest living for himself. It was -evident from his looks that he had nevor before had his bumming ad venture placed before him In that light, and he may see the truth of the state ment before he gets back to High Ger many. He appears to have started on his excursion - without any county scrip or any staff, and If he imagines he is obey ing the scriptural injunction, he should have left his wheel at home, and might better have stayed there himself. The day for making curios of glorified dead beats is past. FoNERAii or Rolph H. Miller. A very beautiful and impressive funeral service was held In the Unitarian Church yester day afternoon over the remains of the late Rolph H. Miller. Dr. Eliot read the passage from the 22d chapter of Genesis, in which Jacob wrestles with the angel, commenting upon It and drawing a paral lel between It and the struggles of human life In general, Its strcnuousness, its high ambitions, and -blessing at the end. He concluded with .a few words of personal application to the life of him In memory of whom the congregation had assombled. Dr. Eliot was assisted by the Rev. Mr. Lord and by Dr. Edgar P. Hill, of the First Presbyterian Church. Lilies of the valley, Easter lilies, callas, roses and vio lets added their share to the beauty of the service. At its conclusion the remains were taken to Lone Fir cemetery and placed in the receiving vault, where the final solemn words were spoken. The pallbearers were the Board of Education R. K. Warren, Richard Williams, H. Wit tenberg, D. P. Thompson -and J. V. Beach and Secretary Stone, of the T. M. C. A, At the completion of the crematory the body will be Incinerated, in accord with the request of the late Mr. Miller. Vert Bust Court. United States Cir cuit Judge W. B. Gilbert arrived home yesterday morning from San Francisco, where he has been sitting In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the past two months. The session was the longest the court has yet held, and at least a third more business was transact-J ed than during any previous session. A considerable number of cases came in from Hawaii and from Nome, and cases will soon be coming in from the Philip pines, which are in .this district. There is enough business on hand now to keep the court running continuously. The court has taken an intermission of six weeks, and Judge Gilbert brought home with him a pile of briefs and records four feet high to prevent his "leisure" from hang ing too heavily on his hands, and will prepare a number of decisions to take back with him. Started on the Jourxet. F. W. Fletcher returned from Ilwaco yesterday, after bringing 10 men down from Portland to assist In raising lightship No. 50, which is aground on the beach near there. He said the contractor hopes to have the ves sel high out of the sands within a few days, as supporting timbers can be made to rest on the bedrock, only eight feet below the surface. The craft has been dragged a distance of 60 feet by the aid of horsepower capstans, and the men are now able to work in the dry sand most of the time. When once up on the track pre pared for her the work of moving her to Baker s Bay, three-quarters of a mile dis tant, can be accomplished In 15 days. Those in charge of the work feel confident of being able to launch the vessel into the deep, still waters of Baker's Bay within the specified time Aprils. Casip McMillan, No. 1. The sons and daughters of the Indian 'War veterans of Camp McMillan, No. 1, held a meeting and social at the G. A R. Hall Tuesday evening, and the time was spent pleas antly. Miss Gillette favored the veterans with a recitation. Mildred Glover sang a solo. Mr. and Mrs. Glover gave a duet. Captain Hogue entertained the audience with "some thrilling accounts of his com pany's experiences when after redskins. The camp will meet again on the 2Sth of the month. A cordial invitation is ex tended to all sons and daughters to at tend these gatherings. New Factory Here. The large store room at the northwest corner of Second and Salmon streets has been leased to Messrs. Dubruille and Wilson, of Albany, and Is being renovated and fitted up for them. They are wholesale manufacturers of buggy and carriage tops, cushions, etc., and have been in business at Albany for some time, but increase of their business has rendered It necessary for them to seek a more central location and better transportation facilities to all parts of the Northwest. Elks' Stag Social. Portland Lodge of Elks will hold a stag social in its lodge room, in the Marquam building, tonight. It will be the biggest event of the kind the lodge has given for a long time. Up ward of 400 Invitations have been Issued to other than lodge members, who number over 500. H. D. Griffin will be the presid ing genius. New Residence. S.

The city offi cials, who imagined that Mr. Gaston would call for that $300 warrant which has been waiting for him so long to pay the award of damages for opening Main street through the Gaston tract, or that a little thing like an adverse decision of the Supreme Court could turn him from his purpose, reckoned without their host. Mr. Gaston called at the City Treasurer's office yesterday, but he was accompanied by a lawyer, and the warrant mentioned was one of the things he did not want. He said when he got a warrant to pay damages for opening Main street through the Gaston tract he wanted one for about $6000. He merely called at the Treasurer's office to Inquire when the last assess ments had been paid on the award for damages. He Intimated that he had some kind of a surprise in store for the city, and was preparing to give his opponents another run for their money. Mr. Gaston may not be a "fellow of Infinite Jest," but when It comes down to litigation he is a man of infinite resources and untir ing patience, and appears to derive lots of amusement from the "practice of law." Likes Oregon and Portland. H. B. Carroll, superintendent of the South St. Paul stockyards, who came West as a delegate to the woolgrowers convention at Bendleton, and has been visiting friends in Portland since that meeting, left last night to return home. Mrs. Carroll ac companied him. Mr. Carroll was very much pleased with the outlook on the Pacific Coast. He says It Is the plr.-e for young men and for middle-aged ."n of means. He met in Oregon many ineepmen with whom he had had business relations. He was greatly pleased with the livestock conditions in this state; they were a sur prise to him. He says the sheepmen of Oregon have a great advantage over those of other regions, and can breed and raise sheep and send them to market In Chi cago at a greater profit than can those who must feed high In the cold weather of the Middle East. Mr. Carroll was much Impressed with Portland, and ex pressed the conviction that It would be the city of the Coani. He Is enthusiastic over this country and the courtesy and kind ness of the people, and he will be a valu able missionary for Oregon. Notable Coming Event. Just after Easter namely, on April 10. 11 and 12 Portland Is to have a short series of re ligious meetings, in which Rev. B. Fay Mills will speak. On the occasion of this noted man's last appearance In the city, several years ago, he was considered the greatest of living evangelists. His mar velous meetings were held all over the United States through a period of many years. Then his convictions slowly . but steadily changed as to the devotional basis and methods and nature of salva tion. While here Mr. Mills will describe this change and what seem to him now the essential truths and greater methods In which God appeals to man and co-operates with him. These sermons are to be given In the Unitarian Church, and will doubtless be listened to by hundreds who remember the revivals which Mr. Mills led. Scoundrels Shooting Robins. Game Warden Qulmby has been Informed that bad boys and men are shooting robins in the vicinity of this city. Of course, they must be boys and men from this city, for country boys would not be guilty of such a mean action. Mr. Qulmby has consult ed with the Chief of Police, and they will take action In the matter and endeavor to secure the arrest of any person guilty of shooting robins or other song birds. The law for the protection of song birds Is still In force, and Mr. Qulmby Is going to do all In his power to enforce It. It seems almost Impossible that any one brought up In a civilized country would be guilty of shooting the pretty robins or larks, but there Is a class of vile men here who used to make a practice of It before the birds were protected. Attempting the Impossible. R. Buetl kofer writes to The Oregonlan to say that the one-armed man mentioned in a paragraph yesterday as falling In a fit while carrying wood upsta'.rs on Morrison street Is a deserving man. His name Is Fletcher, and he lost his right arm about a year ago. He Is too proud to accept charity, and Is 'trying to prove that he can make a living with only one arm. He is a sober, industrious man, and has been subject to fainting fits for years. As Mr Buetlkofer says, "he Is simply at tempting the Impossible." Some way should be found to assist him In making a living In some other way than by carry ing wood. Unusual Raini-all. Deputy United States Marshal Roberts, who has lately visited Morrow County, Union County and other sections of Eastern Oregon, says there has been an unusually large rain fall all over that region, and the ground Is thoroughly soaked. The roads are In worse condition than he ever before saw them. In traveling 100 miles out from El gin a few days since the stage was mired down and upset twice. Residents every where through the eastern portion of the state are looking forward to large crops, and all appearances are favorable for a prosperous year. A Novel School. The Portland Manual Training School has a few vacancies In the limited "all-day session." The scholastic studio and workshop practice combined strengthens the body and de velops the mind.

James West, a 59-year-old charge at the County Poor Farm, committed suicide at noon yesterday by cutting his throat and wrist with a razor. County Physician McKay and Dr. Watklns. his assistant, were called immediately, and endeavored to save his life, but West had done his work too well, and died at 3 P. M.

He was "cured" from Its use at the County Hospital, but always desired to return to the drug, complaining of the pain in one leg, that was amputated at the knee. To his roommate, John Kellar. he con tinually threatened suicide, stating that he Intended to get even on the county for refusing him morphine by committing suicide and causing the county great ex pense. He said yesterday again that it was the last day he would make his own bod, as he was going to take his life. His companion paid no attention to the threat, as he often made similar remarks.
