THE MORXIXO OKEGOXTAX. SATURDAY, APTUL 1001. -i, CITY NEWS IN BRIEF A.muncnienl Tonlcht. MATtQUAM GRAND Blanch's Welsh In "More Than Queen." Matinee and evening. CORDRAVS "The Strollers presenting re fined vaudeville. Matinee and evening. METROPOLITAN "Widow BedotL" Matinee and evening. At the "Woman's Club. At tbe "Wo man's Club yesterday afternoon It was voted to endorse the movement on the part of the citizens to furnish band music In the public parks this Summer. At the conclusion of the business meeting an en joyable musical programme was presented by (Mrs. Fletcher Linn and Mrs. W. A. Knight. Mrs. Linn opened with "Valnka's Song," by Von Stutzman, -which was given in very fetching fashion. In this and in two other numbers "Little Blue Pigeon," by Pairlamb. and the "Moszkowskl Sere nata Mrs. Linn had also opportunity to display to great advantage the sweetness and purity of her voice, concerning which many pleasant comments were made. Mrs. Knight gave a polocca by "Weber in very brigat and sparkling fashion; also Templeton Strong's "'Wedding March," and Chaminade's "Arlequin," to the en joyment of those present. An interesting paper was read by Miss Carolyn Shana han on the "National Element of Music,' the reader being Mrs. Blumauer. At the close of the programme club members were heard on all sides, expressing their satisfaction that they possessed within their own body musical talent capable of affording them so pleasant an after noon. Dividend Xext Tuesday. Receiver Nixon, of the defunct Portland Savings bank, will pay depositors a dividend Tues day, April 30. It will be 4 per cent cer tain, and possibly 5 per cent, depending on whether certain payments are made on time or not. A final dividend will be paid about July 1, but the amount of it cannot be computed until after May 15, when all claimants -who have not heretofore presented their claims must hand them in or be debarred from participating in the dividends. There are abount 1000 claims which have never been presented, but most of them are small. There are, how ever, several quite large ones. A short time ago a man who could not hear, and could talk only so as to be understood with great difficulty, presented a claim for $1200. It was not ascertained where he had been since the bank failed. If Mr. NKon pays a 5 per cent dividend Tuesday, the total of dividends paid will be 16 per cent. It is scarcely probable that the final dividend will amount to more than 4 per cent possibly less so the depositors are not likely to receive more than 20 per cent of their claims. Bought at Sheriff's Sale. Frank C. Baker yesterday purchased lot 3, Park block, at the northeast corner of Wash ington and West Park streets, at Sheriff's sale for 521.000. Fred Page bid $20,500. The sale was made on execution in the case of the Security Savings Bank of San Francisco against the estate of Preston C. Smith, xjeceased. The judgment of the bank was for 527,357. Charles E. Ladd bought lots 7 and S and the west half of lots 1 and 2, block 102, at Water and Mill streets, for J1E00. The property Is vacant except for a barn. It was expected that the two parcels would bring enough to satisfy the judgment The sale of the Taber nacle property at Morrison and Twelfth streets was continued for one week. In this the widow. Susan W. Smith, has a dower Interest. The property purchased by Mr. Baker is part of what is known as the "Widow's row." On May 17 a parti tion sale will be made of theSmlth sawmill tracts, at Harrison and Water streets, in cluding river frontage, the machinery, etc.. excepted. Changing Street Numbers. The mat ter of changing the numbering of build ings on the streets of this city to the system of 100 numbers to a block, as Is the custom in most of the cities In the country. Is being considered, and may be taken in hand by the street committee be fore long. The system has some very pal pable jidvantages, and enables any one to find a :ctrtain number very easily. For 1 Instance, of one wants to And 525 Third street, and sees that lie is In front of 324. he knows that the number he wants Is just four blocks away. The system, however, runs the numbers on a street up into the thousands very hurriedly, es pecially where the blocks are as small as they are in Portland. Twenty numbers are now allowed to a block here, which is quite sufficient for a 200-foot block. The question of changing the system will be considered before it is adopted, for such a change would create much confusion for a time. Perfect Roses Despite Rains. A few roses of several early varieties have bloomed In the open air in this city this season, but the cool weather of the past week has checked the blooming and blighted some of the partly opened buds. Several fully opened roses of the Beauty of Glazenwood variety, one of tht most beautiful of roses, were seen yesterday on a magnificent bush which climbs over the south wall of Fred Matthews' resi dence at Third and Lincoln. There are hundreds of buds on the bush, and it will be a glorious sight after a few warm days. A large Marechal Nell bush on the same wall will also be in blossom in a few days. The Beauty of Glazenwood rose is a pale yellow, the petals tinged and striped with delicate shaded of pink and red. "What a Stranger Observed. A citizen who recently "brought home a wife from a far-distant city went out for a stroll around town with her a day or two since. On their return home she was asked what had particularly attracted her attention during the walk. ,She ,sad she could not imagine why so many rough plank side walks were allowed, and wondered why the names of the streets were not dis played at corners so that one could tell where he was, and she also noticed that many streets needed repairing. Residents here become so accustomed to these things this woman spoke of that they no longer notice them. It is to be hoped that these will be changed for the better before long. Recovered His Wheel. A hlcycle be longing to Captain Charles E. McDonell, County Assessor, was stolen by some dis honest fellow some time ago. Sheriff Frazler sent notices to the sheriffs of adjacent counties giving a description of the bicycle, and asking them to seize it and arrest the party found in possession of it, and offering a reward of 55 for the recovery of the wheel. It was found at Woodburn, where the thief had sold it for 512 and then vanished. Captain Mc Donell will ride his patent coaster again and is happy. New Water Mains. The pipe for ex tension of mains on the East Side, au thorized by the Water Committee, is being hauled and the work of laying it will be commenced forthwith. A 6-inch main is to be laid on East Taylor from East Twelfth to East Sixteenth, and a 6-lnch main on Hawthorne avenue from East Twenty-sixth to East Thirtieth and thence south on East Thirtieth for 900 feet. It will not take long to complete both jobs.

Oregon aspanfgus Is beginning to come in freely, but there is far from being enough to supply the demand. Oie gon rhubarb, or "pieplant" Is plentiful and cheap. Remarkably fine hothouse lettuce Is coming In from Mount Tabor. California still supplies strawberries and hothouse cucumbers, which are coming down in price slightly. Green peas and string beans arrive in fine shape, with a lump of Ice in the barrels of peas. Cali fornia asparagus, cut below the ground, is preferred by some to the green Ore gon article. New cabbages, new potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc., are plentiful. Broiler chickens, barely feathered, bring 54 per dozen and big turkeys are to be had for Sunday's dinner. Oregon shad are now in flne condition. Roe shad are scarce and shad roe sells for 50 cents per pound. What with the prices of beef, lamb, chickens, strawberries, etc., anyone can live "high" now without half trying. In an Aztec Country. David Goodsell, who has been spending the Winter in the State of Oxaca. Old Mexico, returned home yesterday. Oxaca Is 400 miles south of the City of Mexico and Is Inhabited by descendents of the Aztec Indians, who Mr. Goodsell says are a fine race of people. The climate In Winter Is delightful, and the people better workers and more pros perous that Mexicans, generally. Corn and sugar cane are the principal crops, and all sorts of fresh vegetables grow all through the Winter and supplies of tropi cal fruits are constantly received from the country farther south. Mr. Goodsell met a few Americans there, but the country is out of the line of tourist travel. His stay there appears to have agreed with Mr. Goodsell. as he is a picture of health. He found much to interest him in the appearance and customs of the people. Light Frost in Fruit Districts. This is the critical period for lruit. Blossoms are dropping from the cherry and pear trees, but are only beginning to open on the apple trees. Portland and vicinity had a few visitations from white frost the past week, but no damnge has been done. Horticultural Commissioner Newell writes from Dllley that his district has had two sharp frosts this month, but fruit has escaped damage. Commissioner Rey nolds reports that Salem had a heavy frost on the night of Aurll 23, but appar ently no harm wTas done. Finance Committee Organizes. The finance committee of the Executive Com mittee in charge of President McKInley's reception In Portland, met In the office of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday to arrange to raise 55000 for the entertain ment fund. A. H. Devers presided. J. Thorburn Ross was elected treasurer. It was decided to ask the City Council to contribute J500. The committee and E. C. Masten, assistant secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, will canvass .the city to raise the remaining 54500. . Slot Machines Banished. A number of slot machines are being boxed up and shipped to San Francisco dally, from Port land. A shipper said recently. "The day of slot machines is past in Oregon and I think will be in California in about two years more. The last Legislature down there tried to pass a law forbidding their use, but failed." The machines he was boxing up stood nearly as high as a man's head and were as full of intricate machin ery as a threshing machine. "These play tunes and pay out money," the shipper said. Death of Mrs. Wilhelmina Walsh. Mrs. Wilhelmina Walsh, formerly of Portland died of paralysis at her home at Coronado. Cal., April 16, aged 60 years. Mrs. Walsh was an estimable woman and was" respected and loved by all who knew her. She had lived at Coronado 14 years. Her former home for 13 years was Port land. She leaves a husband, William D. Walsh, and one son and daughter, Dr. Walter E. Walsh, and Mrs. Elfa Capps, wife of Major Edwin M. Capps, of San Diego. Baseball.

Persons desiring to compete should at once apply to the commission, "Washington, D. C, for application blanks. Two Sorts of Deputies. The deputies In the office of Sheriff Frazler feel that an unjust accusation was made against them yesterday in a letter from "Lee Give Up." He does not distinguish be tween Deputy Sheriffs at the Courthouse and Constables who are Deputy Sheriffs, and it was the latter to whom he referred. He says that his "tax" was 517 50 a week, not a month as reported. Delegates to Charities Convention. Governor Geer has appointed Rev. C. E. CUne. D. D., A. Bush, of Salem, Rev. T. L. Eliot, D.

Some Sure Results From Proper Food Selection. Farmers select certain food to bring about desired results in their animals, but it is not so easy a matter with the complex machine called man (or more highly organized woman). The food specialist, however, has been at work, and in Grape-Nuts we find a food containing dellqate natural particles of Phosphate of Potash and larger quan tities of albumen. These unite in the human body, form ing the peculiar soft substance which fills the cells of the brain. Therefore, when one desires to use a food directly intended for brain building, the food Grape-Nuts may be depended upon. Fortunately it is one of the most de licious bits of food used by mankind, the delicate sweet of Grape-Sugar being of the most charming character. All prom, lnent grocers sell Grape-Nuts, made at the pure food factories of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich. Unusual Cause Fon Insomnia. A resi dent of the southeastern suburbs of this city, while working in his garden a few mcrnirlfes ago noticed that the neighbor who comes to milk his cow for him looked dull and heavy-eyed. He inquired after the man's health, who re plied that he was well enough, but could not sleep nights. When asked what kept him awake, he said: 'The barking of dogs and roaring of lions." Surprise was ex pressed that there should be suph unusual noise as the roaring of lions In that quiet neighborhood, but the gardener on laying his ear to the ground heard the low, deep rumble of a lion's roar plainly enough. The Midway Plaisance Circus which wintered in this city is now en camped near Kenilworth and the lions, being nocturnal animals, sleep all day and rear and growl all night, and so keep all the dogs and people In the neighborhood awake. If this goes on much longer a lion hunt will be organized In that sec tion and the roaring put an end to. Love Made Him III. Quite a little ex citement was caused last night, in an apartment-house on Washington street, near Fifth, by one of the roomers, a young man, who was taken violently ill. It was stated that he had threatened to take his life and Police Captain Hoare and City Physician Zan went to see him. A revolver found in his possession was con fiscated, and Dr. Zan applied restoratives to the patient, who refused to give his name or make a statement. In a short time the patient had recovered, and It was learned that he had become despon dent because a young woman with whom he has been keeping company had threat ened to leave him for another admirer. Portlands vs. Multnomahs. Two good baseball games will be played at Mult nomah Field this afternoon, and each may be witnessed for the small sum of 25 cents. At 1 o'clock the teams of the Portland High School and the Portland Academy will line up.

Onions From Australia. Onions have become rather scarce in the market of late and have been selling at 52 50 per sack. Yesterday there were Australian onions in the market, which sold for 54 50 per sack. The reason of this is that it Is Fall In Australia now, and the Australian onions are of the new crop and will keep till they can be used. A sack of Oregon onions will sprout and turn soft and worthless as soon as warm days come. The day of the Australian onions will be short, as new California onions will be In the market in about ten days. Reception to Mrs. McKenzie. A re ception to Mrs. Emma W. McKenzie, for many years a teacher in the Couch School, will be held in the Couch School building this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock.

Mrs. McKenzie re cently resigned her position as assistant to Principal Burnham and Is soon to leave for the East, where she will make her home. Indicator Sent Out Fire Alarm. The presence of smoke, which might have caused a fire, wras quickly detected by a patent fire Indicator yesterday, at the Union Meat Company's place, Fourth and Gllsan streets.

THE ESTERBROOK STEEL PEN CO., Works, Camdea.lTiJ'. 26 John St.. 7T.T .UHHUMWt" PRINTING mam jg m J f LMalLSSMiJiJiimM STEEL FEMS CARNEGIE BUYS A Pointer to Churches Contemplating the Purchase of Large Pipe Organs. "When Mr. Andrew Carnegie decided that a portion of his beneficence should be in pioviding pipe organs for churches that were not able to buy them, he at once looked about to find the man whose expe rience and knowledge of pipe organs would qualify him for filling the responsi ble position of buyer. Such a buyer needs to know all about the latest and most ap proved methods of pipe organ construc tion. He must also be an intelligent judge of tone quality, a responsive action, and the harmonious blending of the registers and combinations. "We need not say that Mr. Carnegie found the man, and doubtless found the right one. He proceeded at once to In vestigate the merits of all the leading pipe organs In this country. The result is that orders for four large pipe organs have been awarded to the W. W. Kimball Co., of Chicago, and are for the following churches, viz.: The Lutheran Church, at Lagonler, Pa. ; St. Joseph's Catholic, at Al leghany, Pa.; the Methodist Church, at Springdale, Pa., and the St. Paul's Cath olic Cathedral, at Pittsburg, Pa., the lat ter to cost $20,000. It is another evidence of the ability of the Kimball Co. to furnish the best of everything in the line of pianos and or gans and at the lowest prices. Although it is only eight years since the Kimball Co. began the manufacture of pipe organs, they are turning out more large organs than any four other 'organ factories com bined in the United States. They also have tne contract for a new pipe organ for the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City, which will be one of the largest in the world. The Kimball pipe and reed organs, like the Kimball pianos, when tested by thoroughly competent Judges, are invaria bly pronounced the best, especially when prices are considered. The Kimball Co. began the manufacture of pianos Just 11 years ago, since which time they have made and sold over 77,000 pianos, and 225,000 organs, a record that leaves all other makes far behind in the race for supremacy. For more than six years they have never seen the day that they could fill their orders for pianos. The above tremendous facts are accounted for In very few words.
