THE SfOHNIUG OEEGONIAN,. FRIDAY. APKIL 5. 1901. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF Amusements Tonight. CORDRAYS THEAIER-Cummlngs Stock Co. In '2Celi Gwynn." Easter Fashions jCnd "Weather. Th "women folks, old and young:, are anxious ly awaiting the clearing-up shower and hoping for fine "weather Sunday, in order that they may be able to turn out to church in all the glories of Easter hats and bonnets, to say nothing: of new dresses and other gear. The milliners are also worrying about the weather, and the headgear they have built for Easter, which is reported to be fearfully and won derfully made, and to be more gorgeous than -anything of the kind ever seen here before. The "Weather Bureau man is doing his best to change the weather, but cannot give any assurances of anything better, and is not afraid of producing any "worse than has been coming along of late. 'March was the coldest and windiest and rainiest month lor years, and April so far has been following suit. A young woman "Who called at her milliner's yes terday for her new hat, after admiring it for a while, tearfully remarked: "I sup pose It will rain Sunday, and "We "will all have to wear our old duds." The cold, after all, is only, comparative, as flowers are blooming on "all sides and fruit trees keep putting out blossoms, but the "wind and rain are beyond comparison. A gar dener "was seen yesterday "with a "wagon load of potted plants, all looking thrifty and beautiful, but he had them in a cov ered wagon, and was inside himself, and Tvas wearing a thick overcoat and a heavy muffler. FXORENCE CiRITTENTON HOMB. At a meeting of the managers of the Florence Crittenton Home yesterday the superin tendently submitted the monthly report, showing 17 girls and 12 "babies had been beneficiaries of the institution during the month of March. A circular letter -was received from Mr. Crittenton, urging the observance of the -week from April 14 to April 21 as a self-denial week for the benefit of the Home, and requests all girls who have been saved through its agency to Tvrite a letter on the birthday of Flor ence, April 19, expressing their apprecia tion of the benefits of the Home. One girl who -was in the Home for three years writes of her happy married life and home on a farm, where her little child is the pet of the neighborhood and she is "boss of the ranch." Eleven cases of measles and four pneumonia patients among the Inmates of the Home are progressing fa vorably toward convalescence. Great in terest is taken in the new building by the inmates and friends of the institu tion, and work upon it will soon be com menced. It is estimated that it will cost $15,000, and will accommodate 50 inmates. Kept the Recording Angel Bust. In one of the most violent squalls of wind and rain which swept through the city yesterday a Chinaman's hat was blown off at the corner of Second and Salmon and went whirling down Second street in the gutter leaning against the curb. The Celestial gave chase and was aided by his umbrella, which under the pressure of a 40-knot breeze pulled him rapidly along. Ho was not under any such inconvenience as the conscientious Quaker who had to hire a man "to damn his fleeting tile," but was able to express his feelings copi ously and forcibly. In front of the en trance to the A. O. U. "W. Temple the umbrella got ahead of the hat and stopped it Just In time for the Chinaman to fall upon both and force them out of sight In the mud which is plentiful there. "What he said could not be understood except by Inference, and so is of no interest to the Christian inhabitants of the city, but he kept the Chinese recording angel busy for a time. Carnegie's Offer. Portland may not be able to avail itself of Andrew Car negie's offer of 5100,000 for a free public library, unless the conditions are modi fled. The city tax authorized for a library will not raise the amount which Mr. Car negie asks as a guarantee for main tenance. It has been suggested, that Jf. the Portland Library Association should consolidate with the Free Library, he resources of both, added to the city tax, would be sufficient for maintenance. The trustees of the Portland Library Associa tion have decided that they have no au thority to consolidate. Mr. Carnegie will probably be asked to permit his gift to be considered as an endowment to the Portland Library on condition that the library Is made free. Y. M. C. A. Supper. Tonight at 6:30 the "Woman's Auxiliary of the Young Men's Christian Association give a com plimentary supper to the young men of the association in honor of the interna tional secretary, C. S. "Ward, of New York. A conference will also be held to consider the desirability of enlarging the building, comer. Fourth and Yamhill streets. It is understood that this mat ter will be considered in a number of different ways. The gathering promises to be a meeting of much interest to the members and friends of the association. The building committee of the board has prepared a report to' be presented, and short statements will be made by the heads of various departments. Casey at the Bar. A gray-haired man named Edward Casey was brought before Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday, charged with being drunk. The Judge observed that Casey had been in court many times for the same offense, and "that it is not a case of -Casey at the bat, but Casey at the bar." Casey, who was too mournful-lookinsr -nrohahiv n have heard De "Wolf Hopper's- famous poem, said: "It's my only failing; I can't keep away from drink. But give me an other chance. Let me off this time with a small flne;"'arid ;if I come back again send me to 3&fl 'ior "three months." "I'll take you at your word." nhsm-nfl , Judge.

He returned here yesterday greatly improved in health and weighing SO pounds less than usual, and left for home last night. Poltcb Arrest Fan-Tan Men. A fan tan game was running in full blast last night at 141 Second street when Police Captain Hoare and Sergeant Moore rushed the door, surprised the lookout man and arrested these four Chinamen: Ah Chung. Ah Ben, Sam Hot and Ah Chee, charged with playing fan-tan. A gam bling outfit was captured and $220 in cash. The 'prisoners were afterward released on $50 ball each being furnished. 'Waiting on the Court. District Attor ney Chamberlain stated yesterday that he was without further word from Deputy Sheriffs McMillan and Matthews, who were sent to Eureka. Cal., to arrest B. F Durphy, charged with polygamy. The right to bring Durphy to Oregon is now being contested in the courts at San Francisco. "Want License Revoked. a delegation C m,en from Gresnai appeared before i.

Curtis, of Dayton, Or., writes to Game "Warden Qulmby under date of April 3 as follows: "A doe elk, evidently astray from some park, as she Is quite tame, has been on my farm near Forest Grove for over a month. "When first seen she was in the barnyard with the cow, but the latter, not taking a fancy to the stranger, hooked the elk out of the yard, since which time it has been pasturing on the meadow. On April 2 I got within a few rods of the animal. It Is a fine animal, and must be full grown, as its height exceeds that of a cow. The animal is seriously dam aging my new-sown timothy meadow, not so much from browsing as tramping the ground. Several parties have set traps to catch the animal, but In vain so far. If you can discover the owner of the elk, please inform him of her whereabouts and have the animal taken away. Some hunter will shoot her yet. I write you because possibly you may be in a position to discover the owner. All correspond ence concernig the elk should .be ad dressed to Eugene "Whipple, Forest Grove, Or., or to my address in Dayton, Or.' School Exhibits for Buffalo. The exhibits for the Buffalo exposition which the principals of the various public schools were directed to have prepared some two weeks ago, are beginning to be handed in to Superintendent RIgler. They comprise specimens of all kinds of school work maps, language work, geography, arithmetic, history, etc. Many of the ex hibits are tastefully ornamented. One from a history class, concerning the "War of 1812, has on the first page a pen-and-ink sketch of the fight between the Constitu tion and Guerrlere. Exhibits from geog raphy classes are illustrated with neatly drawn maps, compositions with drawings, and so on. Commissioner Dosch has se cured space for the exhibit, but It is doubtful if there will be room for all the specimens. The exhibit will be larger and .finer than those sent to the Chicago or Omaha expositions. Killed bt the Cars. Suffering from the effects of injuries received by being struck by a train near Goble, Emll Jor genson, of Hutchinson, Minn., died yes terday as the steamer Hassalo was about to land .at Ash-street dock. The body was taken to Holman's undertaking rooms. A Judge from Columbia County who was on 'board the Hassalo said that Jorgenson had been found, severely bruised about the head, lying near the railroad tracks at Goble, probably hav ing been struck by a passing train. He was taken on board the steamer, in order that he might get surgical aid in this city. The police here were telegraphed to in advance, and City Physician Zan and an ambulance were In waiting, but the man was past surgical aid. His identity was established by letters found in his pockets. Elks "Will Hold a. Circus. Something new again. The Elks are going to give a circus next Summer, say July or August. It will be a society amateur affair, with professional features. Teddy Rowe, who piloted the street fair and Elks' carnival last year, will be the managing editor of the circus. At a meeting of the Elks' Lodge last night Mr. Rowe, S. H. Fried lander, T. B. McDevltt, Captain "W. J. Riley and H. C. Hippie were appointed a committee to break ground for the en terprise. They will get together in a few days and outline plans. About the only point decided on is that the circus will be held under a tent. "Whatever details are decided or, it may be set down as a fact in advance that No. 142, B. P. O. E will make the affair a success. The whole town will be with them. Studying the Blue Heron. Oneof the leading features of the meeting of the John Burroughs Society Tuesday evening was the reading of a highly interesting paper by Herman T. Bahlmann, compris ing personal observations and study of the common game and water birds around Portland. The habits of the blue heron were graphically described, a large part of the paper being devoted to this inter esting bird. A society that arouses en thusiasm for out-of-door study of nature and the wild things of our forests and marshes deserves the encouragement of the citizens of Portland. A wholesome love of original Investigation in natural science cannot fall to benefit any com munity. Death of a Well-Known Grand Army Man. Robert M. McMaster, a well-known member of the G. A. R., died at his home at Third and Montgomery streets early this morning, after an Illness of several months. Mr. McMaster came to Portland In 1869, and had been continuously, up to the time of his sickness, with the hardware firm of Corbett & Falling. He was born In Indiana 59 years ago, and served throughout the Civil War, en listing with the Thirty-third Indiana. f He was mustered out a Lieutenant-Quartermaster. Mr. McMaster leaves a widow and two children, Mrs. H. C. Reck and Claud G. McMaster. Chinaman and His Chickens. As Duck Back was hurrying past Sixteenth and Irving streets last night, carrying four chickens In a bag, a "cluck, cluck," caught Policeman Mallett's ear, and he stopped the Chinaman to question him. When Mallett proceeded to examine the chickens Duck Back ran, and Mallett pursued him. The Chinaman was gain ing ground when the policeman fired one shot in the air, and Duck Back stopped. On the way to the police station the Chinaman fought the men in the wagon. The police are anxious to hear of peo ple who have lost chickens. Suggests Central Location. George Jabour, who managed the midway shows at the Elks carnival In Portland last year, writes to The Oregonian suggest ing mat it a rair and carnival is to he held here this Fall it should be held In a street and in as central a location as pos sible. He believes the. Exposition build ing and the plot on" the east side to be unsuitable, and suggests, holding it in some down-town street or in some of the Park blocks.

(To the Editor.) At the Ministerial Association's montniy meeting of all the pastors of the "city last Monday the discussion drifted into a gen eral criticism of the public schools and of the Portland High School in particu lar. The exceptions taken were chiefly to overloading the pupils with books and studies, causing In many instances las situde of body, talking In the sleep, nerv ous prostration and broken health, in this connection it may be asked whether our present civilization, with Its educa tional Ideals and methods. Is, after all, a success. Solon, Themistocles, Pericles and Demosthenes, Isocrates and Lysias, Aristophanes and Menander, Alschylos, Sophocles and Euripides, Phidias and Praxiteles, Socrates and Plato, Thucydl des and Xenophon wera 17 historic char acters, distinguished for widely different' achievements, .but eacli possessing the broadest and most" consummate culture. Npw let it be remembered that all these noted men, under a former type of civi lization, were produced In one town and within a period of 300 years. Where in modern times can' such Tesults be shown? "At no time and place," says John Fiske, "has there been even an approach to such a fact as this." What were the conditions under which so many remarkable characters In one place were produced? Certainly not from books and what Is now known as literary culture, but from Intercourse with the facts of nature- and a life outdoors In the brightest sunshine almost constantly. In fact, the modern house, for either home or school, with every crack and cranny se curely stopped, was with them practically unknOWn. At night they slept upon couches plain and hard. The streets of their town, Athens, were adorned at every turn with statues of a design like the Thompson fountain in Portland, In Itself an educator of a pure and natural taste. It Is a well-known fact that the lan guage and tastes of these people, par ticularly Plato and Lysias, were of the highest order. These men lived in a time when the finer beauties of expression, both In language and art, were appre ciated. Theirs was a mild, genial climate. noted for the longevity of its Inhabitants. They were specimens of the finest phys ical development, both men and "women dressing Inexpensively, but well. They had no milliners' nor dressmakers' bills, no evening parties, no exacting fashions, no elegant furniture, no Journeys to the crowded cities of Europe. Living then was In all respects plain and simple. As a consequence, they had no paupers, no beggars and criminals to be supported by the state, and no Mount Hoodlan burden of taxation to support a, lot of state uni versities and normals, all doing a full share In creating a constantly growing mendicant class. They were the greatest commercial people of antiquity, though the getting of property was not the chief end of life. They had no commercial pan ics, no Wall streets, no saloons, no poor houses. Let it be remembered that we are not speaking of a country town, but a city ot nan a million souls. They were on the whole the most highly cultivated public that has ever existed, but not in a modern book sense. Book sense is not culture. The highest facul ties may be developed without the aid of books. Contact with nature and nersons of exalted character and mind produce the highest and richest Intellectual life. This they had. Modern civilization Is a humbug, because its Increasing output Is insanity , mythomania, consumption, drunkenness, dyspepsia and paralysis. We are living a complex life, which puts premature and excessive strain upon the whole human organism. While we have mastered the ancient scourges cholera, smallpox and black death we have cre ated many far more insidious and ruin ous maladies of nervous origin. In our progress we are losing that which Is after all most valuable. This constant tension, kept at the snap ping point, crowding the Jostling young girls up and 'down three or four flights of stairs many times a. day, and then requiring them to lug home a wheelbarrow-load of books to be studied when tney ought to be asleep, is disastrous. This chronic state of hurry everywhere, with its rage for accumulation and Its resultant frauds in postal affairs and Quartermaster's Department, and this ne cessity for requiring every young man In a place of trust to give bond for honesty, are samples of our present civilization. It may not sound well, coming from a clergyman, but our modern civilization has too much religion that is, too much of the kind. Too much dogma, too much sen-consciousness which serves only to gall and worry, too much dark concep tion of a devil, too many feverish doubts, emotionally unhealthy Imagining, the des tiny of the soul to hang upon what a man may or may not believe. Modern civilization Is a humbug. RIP VAN WINKLE. Portland would give, as it Is her duty to do, being the only large city of the state, Instead of sending her own students away across the mountains. Let us hope that when the world comes to see us in 1905 we can show our guests the handsome new structure belonging to the people as a public Ubraryr and the equally elegant art Institute. These two, together with our beautiful City Hall will form an architectural trio that should be an Inspiration to better typos of archi tecture In less pretentious buildings. This is quite In keeping with the high stand Portland has taken in other educational lines, and certainly the young will profit by these opportunities and be led to choose high ideals and reach for what is noblest and worthiest. Why is it not well to call a library mass meeting in the Armory, where every one can go, and have speakers from' these various organizations and other public spirited men and women present the sub ject in its various phases, If it has others, so that people may at least form an in telligent opinion on the subject. Ballot-boxes might be arranged at the various entrances, and In this way an approximate knowledge ot the wishes of the people may be obtained. L. B. a i PERSONAL MENTION. C. C.

FEATURES OF THE oman Temple Beth iHrnel. Dr. Wiie will preach this morning at j ART INSTITUTE, TOO. Suggestion as to Andrew Carnegie's Conditional Gift of 100,000. PORTLAND, AprH7.-(To the Edltor.) The magnificent gift Mr. Carnegie has offered to the City of Portland will cause more than a ripple of interest. The years of education, generous in character though limited In scope, furnished by the Portland Library Association; the broaded work of recent date by the Portland Pub lic Library, and the active work of the Portland Woman's Club, which makes It possible to accept the offer of Mr. Car negie, have all tended toward the same end, and the people of Portland are clam oring for a public library that will meet the needs of the many. There Is no need to hesitate or modify conditional terms. Surely there Is a site in our city for an other building, such as Mr. Carnegie pro poses to give us, if Portland makes room for it. What an Ideal site is the center of th second block of the south -park row, just opposite the First Conerptratlnn- al Church. It Is centrally located, quiet, and convenient to all 'the higher schools; and would have a plaza on elther'slde. As for the library Itself the collection of new books in the Public Library form a valu able nucleus to which might be added, if arrangements satisfactory to all parties could be made, the books from the Li brary Association, also the Wilson col lection, and others as needed. That fine building on Stark street, state ly In Its classic beauty, Is just the home for an art Institute, such as the City of Portland should give to -her artists, art students and art-loving public. Thl3 city has artists of whom she may well be proud, and such an encouraging recog nition of their profession -would be a wholesome stimulus to still greater work. The building Is none too large, none too choice, none too beautiful for such a des tiny. The collection of art treasures that are now crowded on the upper floor of the library building are a credit to any city, and, properly arranged In spacious rooms, furnish unique "educational privileges to both old and young. The Art Associa tion has wrestled bravely with the prob lem that has been theirs ever since receiv ing the rare collection of pictures given by the Ladds.' They have struggled with stupendous difficulties In trying to share with the public the beauties of the gift. To the young especially will this be of inestimame value. The foundation for education in lines of art is laid In the primary grades of our public schools; and the nature of Individual gifts, if gift there is. Is descovered and directed. This Is carried on by an efficient teacher in the High School. Then, if a gifted or ambitious student desires to advance In any line of art he goes away from Port land for Instruction. With an art Institute of our own so well equipped there would be no need of this. Better still, many would como here for advanced instruction and work, and X,s?sIHHHb inaH Hail! EasterMorn!
