Concertino Poison Oak. There are
many persons who do not know poison
oak when they see it. never having been
poisoned by it, and one of them has asked
The Oregonlan to print a picture of the
foliage of the poisonous shrub in order
that he may le able to recognize it when
le goes out into the woods. There are
some who can handle poison oak with I
uuiijuiiuy, wmie ine toucn or even me wuui
and emanations from it affect others. The
Oregonlan has asked a man who was re
cently badly poisoned with this noxious
plant to bring in a sample from which to
snake a drawing, but he has respectfully
declined to do so. He read in The Ore
gonlan that washing one's hands and face
"with sweet spirits of nitre would prevent
Win from being affected by poison oak,
and yesterday went out among the, stuff,
armed with this preventive, to see wheth
er it was effective. He got home last
evening safe and sound, but must wait a
day or two to see whether the scheme
-worked all right or not. He says that n
the car on his way home he saw persons
with bouquets of the "adder's tongue," in
the center of each of which was a few
sprays of the pretty reddish foliage of the
po'Jon oak, amid which the owners fre
quently buried their noses to Inhale the
fragrance of the flowers. He did not In
terfere, as he was anxious to ascertain
whether these persons are Immune or
not. The poison oak Is a shrub which Is
likely to be found anywhere in the brush
or in open places. The leaves at this
season are a pink or reddish tinge, the
color varying with the age of the leaves.
The leaves much resemble in shape the
leaves of the ordinary oak, but smaller.
The shrubs look like sprouts or suckers
springing from the stub of an oak grub
lately cut down, except that they are red
dish Instead of green.
Making Soi-der tor Salmon Cans. The
work of excavating for the foundation of
an addition to the building of the Pacific
Metal Works at the corner of Second and
Everett streets, was commenced yester
day. The addition is to be of brick. 25x50
fet, all there is room for. A reporter
who strolled through the works yesterday
was much interested in the manner of
preparing solder for use in the salmon
canneries on the Columbia. Many tons
of solder are used during the canning
Reason, an ordinary cannery using from
eight to 10 tons. The solder is made of
lead and block tin melted In certain pro
portions. A large pot of this mixture was
standing over a heater and a thin stream
of the molten metal was running out on
the surface of a grooved wheel, which im
mediately cools and forms a triangular
shaped string of solder, which is wound
on another wheel. From this, the string
is led into a machine which cuts it Into
pieces suited to the size of can on which it
is to be Ubed. All sizes of tins of salmon
are put up these days, and the solder is
cut to suit each size, the saving affected
in this way being considerable. Several
machines have been made here for put
ting the ends in salmon cans without sol
der, but they have not yet come Into gen
eral use.
Building a Citadel. Piles of brick and ,
lumber are so frequently seen on the
streets nowadays that they are scarcely
noticed except by persons who keep track
of improvements. On Third street, near ,
33urnslde, Is a pile of bricks and lumber,
but no repair or Improvement work Is vis
ible in the vicinity. This attracted the
attention of a person yesterday, who be
gan to look around to see where the
brick was being used. Passing down a
narrow alley between a Japanese restaur
ant and a barber shop, he found himself
5n a small court, on which all the streets
in the neighborhood open. A brick build
ing was under course of erection in this
"central location,' and porches, angles
and cornices had been cut away to give
more space. No one appeared to know
what the building was intended for, but
one suggested that as there was a large
gambling house close by, it might be in
tended for a cltldel to which gamblers and
dealers could retreat when an irruption
of the police takes place. It is evidently
-intended for something of this kind, as
there seems no other reasonable object in
Jjulldlng a brick structure in the center
of a congerle of shacks and rickety wood
en buildings.
Wnr the Oath is "Waived. Several In
quiries have been received by The Ore
gonian from persons who wish to know
why, in asking the United States Court
to order the defendants in the case of
Emma Johnson 's. Tilmon Ford, Gilbert
Bros., et al., to appear and show cause
why a receiver should not be appointed, it
is stipulated that such defendants answer
questions, "but not under oath." This
is an old equity practice, a lawyer says,
and the same end -used to be obtained by
filing a "bill of discovery." Complainant
in a case who desired to secure some in
formation on certain points would have
defendants brought together and ques
tioned in order that the desired Informa
tion might be elicited. If the parties were
questioned under oath, they would be con
sidered as witnesses, and their statements
as testimony, which would have to be de
fended against. By waiving the formal
ity and sanctity of the oath, the state
ments of the defendants questioned are
merely in the nature of friendly conver
sation, in the course of which it is hoped
some Information of value may be brought
to light.
Evening Class "Won. The Indoor base-
pall game atlheT. ML C A. gymnasium
last evening, between the noon and even
ing classes, was won by the latter team
by a score of 33 to 3L The game was the
result of a challenge to decide the cham
pionship of the association, and to give
the evening class a chance to get Tevenge
for the defeat of its team for the basket
ball championship by the noon class.
There was a large crowd present and lots
of enthusiasm. The noon class team fin
ished with only seven players, on account
of injuries to its players, one, James
Mackie, breaking his nose.
Liquor for Minors. A. M. Chrlstensen,
accused of giving liquor to minors, ap
peared by attorney in the Municipal Court
yesterday and had his case continued till
Saturday. He had previously been ar
rested for criminal assault, but was dis
charged, for lack of sufficient evidence.
His counsel said yesterday that the girl
to whom the liquor was served was over
17 years of age. and therefor not a
minor. H. H. Hawley, special officer of
the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, Is the
prosecuting witness.
Strawberries for McKinlkt. Land
lord Bowers, of the Hotel Portland, is al
ready arranging for President McKlnley's
welfare, while the distinguished guest is
in the city, and has ordered several crates
of Hood Hlver strawberries, which for
size, color and flavor cannot be equaled
in California. Mr. Bowers Is confident
these luscious berries will make an Im
pression on the party that time will not
efface.
One Game Not Protected. The game
law provides for no close season for Jack
rabbits, and consequently a large num
ber have recently been sent In from East

Horse Put Out of His" Misert. A run
away horse coming from no one knew
where slipped and fell on the asphalt
pavement at the corner of Fourth and
Alder streets yesterday. A veterinary
surgeon examined the animal and stated
that his leg was broken and he must be
shot. Detective Joe Day happening along,
was requested to shoot the horse, and ac
cordingly put a bullet into his head and
pronounced him dead. Now a horse's head
Is long and his brain is small, and Day
mlEsed a vital spot. After a time the
poor brute recovered consciousness and
attempted to struggle to his feet. The
sight of his struggles was so painful that
an expressman, held him down by sitting
on his neck, till another teamster pro
cured a sledge hammer and dealt him a
blow which put him out of his misery.
i The whole affair was painful to all be
holders.
Issue of Bonds. The ?25,OO0 of Improve
ment bonds sold by the city recently are
now being Issued to the purchasers $10,000
to H. E. Noble, $10,000 to A. H. Maegly
and $5000 to Abe Tichenor. This Is the
first issue of bonds under the amended
bonding act, which requires the borrow
ers to pay the interest on the money they
borrow. Some good citizens are feeling
"sore" because they could not get their
street Improvements made before the
bonding act was amended, and thus have
had their interest paid by their fellow
citllzens.

CHEW FOOD.
Chevrlngr Preserves the Teeth, and
Helps Digestion.
The finest specimens of teeth are seen
in animals and human beings who chew
the food thoroughly.
Dentists agree that teeth must be used
to properly preserve them and therefore
they urge people to chew their food
thoroughly, but the nervous, hurried man
ner of eating Is altogether too common
among people and when fed on soft
mushes they are liable to swallow the food
without chewing.
Dyspepsia and bad teeth are the result
if this practice Is continued. True one
can eat soft food without detriment If the
necessity of chewing is remembered.
Grape-Nuts food is so crisp and brittle
and withal so pleasant to the taste that
the user cannot forget to chew and thus
the teeth get the necessary use and the
glands of the gums are made to give the
Juices that Nature Intends shall be mixed
with the food before it enters the stom
ach. A New York doctor says many New
Yorkers put a little sugar on oatmeal
and then cover with Grape-Nuts, and
this method compels the chewing neces
sary to digest the oatmeal.
Grape-Nuts food is pre-dlgested and also
helps In digestion of other food. The
doctor's plan might do for a variety, but
Grape-Nuts and cream alone are consid
ered Ideal by hundreds of thousands of
brainy people.
Thero are other reasons why those who
eat Grape-Nuts look nourished and well
fed The food is made of parts of the
field grains which Nature makes use of in
rebuilding brain and ncrvp rrntrs Proof

RICHARD
NIXON. OX THE
TOURNAMENT.
WHIST
While Disclaiming: Any Part in Pub
lished Charges, He Admits Par
tial Basis on Fact.
Referring to the article in yesterday
morning's Oregonlan headed, ''Played
Queer Whist," Richard Nixon, who was
one of the organizers of the North Pacific
Whist Association, and who attended the
convention held last week at Tacoma,
gives out the following state:
"The accusations against the Tacoma
players are too serious to 'be made anony
mously and without unquestioned evi
dence to sustain them. In addition, the
article is misleading in that it gives an
Impression that the criticisms are made
by all of the Portland players who at
tended the meeting. This Is a mistake.
So far as I know, the complaints are con
fined to but few of the Portland people,
by whom they should be fathered or
mothered.
"The article in question makes three
charges. First, that there was- a delib
erate plan on the part of Tacoma to keep
all the prizes for the home teams; second,
that the Tacoma players cheated by using
private signals; and, third, that the vis
itors were treated with rudeness and lack
of hospitality.
"Ae to the first charge, no evidence can
be produced except an unfortunate inci
dent connected with the match for the
Olympia trophy, which is contested for
only by teams of women players. It seems
that the members of all the three teams
entered one from Portland, one from Se
attle and one from Tacoma understood
that they were to play a preliminary
match Friday morning; that the team
having the lowest score would drop out,
and that the two other teams would play
the deciding game Saturday morning. At
the Friday game Tacoma's score was the
lowest, and It was supposed that she
would drop out; but the tournament com
mittee, composed of one Seattle and two
Tacoma players, announced that the wom
en had not understood the rules, and al
lowed the Tacoma women to play In the
Saturday game, which resulted in their
winning the trophy. Personally, I think
the action of the committee was In rather
bad taste, as, In view of the misunder
standing, they should not have 'given their
own players the benefit of the doubt; but
I am satisfied that they erred, If at all,
only in judgment, and did not Intend any
bad faith. There Is so much work and
whist play at these conventions, that
there Is a great deal of confusion, and a
misunderstanding as to the programme
is likely to occur at any time. In any
event, I am not disposed, on such a slight
showing, to accuse the Tacoma players
of deliberate fraud.
"The next accusation Is that the Tacoma
players cheated by using private signals,
and the accusation is based on one single
play, which is described In detail, and
which was certainly curious whist; but I
have seen a good deal of curious whist
played where the integrity of the player
was not questioned, and I should myself
stop playing the game If every bad play I
made was to be attributed to a code of
private conventions. At a tournament
held in Seattle several years ago, a pair
of players, upon being detected, admitted
that they used private conventions, and
endeavorea to justify their course; but
none of the visitors afterwards claimed
that this was part of a conspiracy on the
part of. Seattle to win all the trophies. I
have been playing against Tacoma teams
for the last seven years, and I have never
seen anything that would tend to make
me suspicious of their good faith. Fur
thermore, it should be remembered that
both at, home and abroad the Tacoma
players have usually outplayed their op
ponents, and It Is generally conceded
among the members of the" association
that Tacoma has the strongest players,
and In the long run will win a majority
of the games on their merits', and with
out resorting to other trickery than taking
tricks.
"As to the charge of rudeness and in
hospltallty, I have no personal knowledge
of anything of the kind.
"In some ways the meeting was not en
tirely to my taste. The tournament was
played under a new system, which did not
prove satisfactory, but as the programme
had been submitted to the Portland play
ers and approved by them before being
promulgated, we have no complaint to
make. In fact, having been beaten at all
points, we should not be childish and
complain at all, but should take our pun
ishment cheerfully.
"This statement is made not only In
justice to the Tacoma players, but to
those of the Portland players who do not
care to be implicated, even by Indirection,
in the expression of such "wholesale and
reckless charges."
Portland Clnb Disapproves.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Portland Whist Club, held last
night, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, An article appearing In The Morn
ing Oregonlan of the 24th Inst, contains an
anonymous Interview, reflecting upon the in
tegrity and good faith of the Tacoma players
at the recent meeting of the North Pacific
Whist Association; and,
Whereas, It would appear from such article
that said reflections emanated In whole or In
part from members of the club; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Portland Whist Club, that
the publication of said Interview was ill ad
vised, and the charges made against the Ta
coma players unwarranted and untrue. That
the Portland Whist Club la In no manner re
sponsible for said Interview or for said article,
and deeply regrets their publication.
CHINESE COAT OF MAIL.
Captain E. S. Edwards Has a Rare
Carlo From Pelcin Royalty.
Captain E. S. Edwards Is the happy
recipient of a new coat of mall. The
giver no doubt meant it as a souvenir of
the chivalrous deeds of the receiver. The
esteemed captain now has something to
match the many sabers, cutlasses,
creases, whlnyards, hangers, etc., which
so long have been useless appendages of
his office except as regalia to lend dig
nity and to scare the casual visitor Into
the fearful idea that he had got into
the den of Baba andi the forty thieves.
When the ancestral palaces of the Sub
lime Emperor were looted by the allied
powers almost a year ago, the armor fell
Into the hands of some zealous Christian
or other, who forgot he was a Methodist
or Baptist, or in his ardor against the
p'aynlms carried only in his brain the po
litical maxim of victors and spoils.
In the course of allotted sequences the
coat of mail drifted about until it found
a harbor in the possesison of Captain
Kennedy, of the steamer Monmouthshire.
He toted It across the sea to Portland
and gave it to Dr. A. C. Pauton, who, In
turn, presented it to Captain Edwards.
The curio is indeed a very valuable
prize to any collector of souvenirs or
relics. Anybody who doubts the high de
gree of perfection to which the Orientals
have advanced the arts of metal-working
will be convinced that modern ingenuity
Is by no means far ahead, if at all. The
armor consists of scales of the finest
steel, ali the parts of which are fitted
"together with such nlclty that the sup
pleness of the whole "is perfect. It is
very highly finished, without a single
blemish or crudity of construction, arid
any artificer in metals today might be
proud to duplicate its workmanship. The

ameled plates of steel; a headpiece which

armor is almost as convenient for wear
as present-day garments, so compara

conform to the contortions of the body.

BLANCHE WALSH TONIGHT.
Opens in "More Than Queen" at the
Mnrannm.
Blanche Walsh, in "More Than Queen,"
will open her engagement at the Marquam
Grand tonight, continuing Friday and
Saturday nights, with a matinee Satur
day at 2 o'clock.
Miss Walsh, as Josephine In "More
Than Queen," has won and deserved a
splendid triumph. She has penetrated
deeply into the nature of the historic
beauty and-portrays every shade of mood
and manner which the varying fortunes
of the Ill-starred Queen demand. Physi
cally, Miss Walsh realizes the character
as could no other American actress, and
her dark beauty, arrayed in robes of
splendor, was never more fascinating.
The scenes of "More Than Queen" are
pictures of the extravagant period of
Napoleon's reign. In consequence, they
give great scope for scenic display. Miss
Walsh has been given a production which
Is the acme of the artist's ability and
monetary outlay. She has been surround
ed with a company of competent players,
all of which with her marked ability has
made possible her latest and greatest
triumph.
The sale of seats has been extraordi
narily heavy for the entire engagement.
The curtain will rise promptly at 8
o'clock for the evening performances and
at 2 o'clock for the matinee Saturday.

2S, presenting a repertoire of plays, In
cluding "Sapho," one of the best-advertised
and most-discussed plays for many
seasons; "Carmen," the romantic drama

Miss Roberts is said to equal Bernhardt;
"A Suit of Sable," a bright four-act
comedy that achieved immediate success
In San Francisco, and Miss Roberts' ver
sion of "The Adventures of Nell Gwynne."
never yet given In this city, and said
to be far superior to any of the many
yet seen. "Sapho" will be the opening
play of the engagement, and will be pre
sented Sunday night and the following
four nights and Saturday matinee. "Nell
Gwynne" Friday and 'Saturday nights.
"The Evil Eye."
The famous operatic extravagaza,
Charles H. Yale's "The Evil Eye," under
the "management of the author, Sidney R.
Ellis, will return here next Tuesday and
Wednesday, April 30 and May 1, with a
special matinee Wednesday, for an en
gagement at the Marquam Grand. This
year the forces have been supplemented
by the engagement of a number of very
strong drawing cards, and Mr. Yale has
gone Into the field for comic opera for
several of his stars. A. noted, composer
has revised the pretty music of "The
Evil Eye" and has added several new
numbers, which have already been very
widely praised. The new songs vfttl be
sung by Miss Mayme Mayo, Charles A.
Loder, Miss Lora Lleb, Charles Flynn
and the great Phasey troupe. The great
mechanical effects, such as the revolving
windmill, and the disappearing rooms,
have been rebuilt for this year, and the
scenic devices are said to be more mar
velous than ever. The advance sale is
unusually heavy.
Woman Gets a Patent.
BAKER CITY, April 24. Mrs. Ida
Lachner, of Baker City, has secured a
patent for a vehicle device for hitching
horses. It is a very simple device, con
sisting of a double-pronged metal hook,
so made that it can be clasped to the
spoke of any vehicle. The lines are fas
tened to this hook, when the horse is
left standing, and if the animal starts
up the lines wind around the hub and
check the forward movement.
Suggestion for Portland.
New York Tribune.
One effect of exhibitions like the Pan
American seems to be the quickening of
municipal pride In the cities which pro
ject them. The action of the Buffalo au
thorities In ordering the demolition of
unsightly signboards lining the otherwise
beautiful streets of the Queen City, be
fore she welcomes her host of visitors this
Summer, makes one wish that New York
was about to have a fair of Its own.
CARD OF THANKS.
I desire to thank the many friends for
their kindness and sympathy during the

gratitude for the many beautiful floral

"Ah! That Is the Weber. I would know

Such Is Just what a talented young lady
musician exclaimed yesterday, when she
heard soma one in the store playing one
of the wonderful Weber pianos. She had
not heard a Weber in years, but she rec
ognized it at once,
Weber pianos have a most exquisite
tone quality, a purity, mellowness and
sweetness 'that Is not found In any other
make. It Is the only piano you should
consider If you can afford to pay the price
for the choicest that American genius,
skill and capital produce.
