Vaca-ncies in Public School. Corps. There is. a prospect for a larger number of vacancies in the corps of public school teachers at the close of the present school year than ever "before. School teachers are like offlce-holden? In respect to hold ing on to their position they seldom die and never resign but it is said that at least ton will be married at the end of the school year, and that several more have the same matter under advisement. This is a much larger percentage than -usual of the corps to launch their frail barks In the troubled sea of matrimony. Last year Ave -were married, though more could have done so had they -wished. The young woman who takes up teaching for a profession sacrifices much. She must study hard to qualify herself for a posi tion, and then has to devote her leisure to more hard etudy to keep up with the procession. After passing through the grade of public teacher and attending classes in pedagogy, she must study to gain promotion from grade to grade. These arduous duties occupy most of her time and ehe has little leisure to form the acquaintance of eligible men. In embrac ing her profession she may be said to sacrifice 75 per cent of her chance for get ting married. Alaska Lighthouse Contracts. Con tractors are anxiously awaiting the re turn of the plans and specifications for the two lighthouses to be built on the coas of Alaska this season. Captain LangfHt, Lighthouse Engineer, for warded them to Washington for ap proval some time ago. Those who would like to undertake the Job of building these structures want to get at work as soon as possible, for the season on the Alaska coast is short at best, and as no lighthouses have been built tbere before, thre Is an element of uncertainty con nected with bidding on the contract. Ths woodwork for the lighthouses will prob ob'y be purchased here as far ae possible, but Just what facilities there will be for landing at the proposed sites, or for trans porting it from the beach, is uncertain. It is said that suitable stone lor making concrete, of which considerable will be Ufld, is very scarce on the Alaska coast. It is found only at a few places and the rock generally is of a soft, crumbly na ture. Contractors realize that there is a good opportunity to lose money on a con tract for building these lighthouses as for laklng any, and no one Is prepared to say what the approximate cost of them will be. Old Records Stored Awat. The vaults in the City Hall have become so crowded with old documents, the accu mulation of years, that Auditor Devlin has instituted a sort of Spring house cleaning and will dispose of these papers. He has secured a suitable room in the upper story of the City Hall and has had the old papers assorted and arranged and packed In suitable chests. For instance, city warrants from 1870 to 1SSS fill one chest, receipts from 1869 to 1887 fill an other chest, claims against the city which have been paid during the past 20 years fill another, and so on. The pa pers are all arranged in chronological or der and snugly tied with cords which will not rot like rubber bands. The chests are labeled And numbered, so that their con tents are easily accessible. It was at first supposed that 6ix chests would be sufficient to hold the old papers, but 12 have been filled and half a dozen more have been ordered. As the papers have been In bad shape, the proper arrange ment and boxing of them will make them much more convenient of access and the storing of them will furnish much needed room for new documents. Sewer Was Obstructed. Several men have been working for the past nine days to clear the sewer serving the South Portland School building from obstruc-Stona- wttich choked It and rendered it inefficient. The sewer is a private one for a distance of three or four blocks from the school. Owing to the basement of the school building being lower than the public sewer, the School Board had to construct this private sewer to a point where it could drain Into the public sewer. It was laid In the winter and the Joints were not properly closed, as mud forced Its way in and choked the pipe at several points. It was necessary to sink nine holes to the pipe and remove Joints at each place before the obstructions could be broken through and then washed out by a stream from a street hydrant. The reason for making such low base ments to some of the public school build ings is probably to save the pupils from climbing any more steps than necessary, but as all school buildings are inclined to a squatty appearance, it would seem that there is but little necessity for plac ing the basements below the level of the public sewers. Grooved Rail the Best. Wm. Mac Haster, a member of the Board of Pub lic Works of Portland, who is now at his old home in Berwickshire, Scotland, writes to Mayor Rowe in regard to street railway matters as follows: "I have not been around much yet, except to visit Liverpool, Edlnburg and Dundee, in all of which cities the street-car systems have been reorganized of late. On all of them the best methods of construction as understood here have been adopted, and the grooved rail has been the choice of them all, as well as of the city of Glas gow." Portland will soon be in line with the cltle6 mentioned, as the City & Suburban Railway Company has decided to aaopt tne vte.ws.pi .the. .Board of Public rorks and will hereafter lay on all per manently improved streets the grooved rail, the same as is In use at the inter section of Third and Morrison streets. This will be a great benefit and comfort to the public and will doubtless prove eco nomical for the company in the end. Shurtleff Case in Supreme Court. The case of F. N. Shurtleff, who, on be ing removed from the office of General Appraiser of Customs by President Mc Kinley two years ago, challenged the au thority of the President to remove a General Appraiser except for cause, is still far from being decided. It has re cently been placed on the Supreme Court calendar as case No. 620. As in the nat ural course of events it would requlro about two years for the Court to reach this number, counsel for Mr. Shurtleff will make application to have his case ad vanced on the calendar. Mr. Shurtleff still remains in New York, and in cose his contention in this matter is sustained he will bj In condition to rake down his sal ary ftom the time of his "removal." As his salary was $7,500 or $8,000 per year, it is worth making a fight for. Bictclists Must Use the Streets. On Wednesday, bicyclists will cease to ride their vehicles silent as to the wheels, but noisy and often obtrusive as to bells on the sidewalks. There has been much less complaint in regard to bicycles on the sidewalks during the past Winter than for the Winter or two before, probably because the novelty of bicycle, riding has worn off, and bicyclists generally do not feel it their bounden duty to scorch as soon as they strike a level track. Still, it Is annoying to many when on the side walk to hear a bell persistently ringing behind them, a warning to them to get out of the way, or oft the earth. As the streets are in fair condition, bicyclists can get along very well without using the sidewalks. Cathedral Class.

The weather was, in the main, fine, and fish and clams were plentiful. James J.Allard, who was down for a few days and occu pied his cottage nights, was quite badly scared one morning. He had Been out fishing the day before and towards even ing a shower came up. He hurried home and threw his fishing- p6l and line, the hook baited, on the porch of his cottage. Early next morning he was awakened by a terrible rumpus. His dog was barking and there was a rattling as of some one hammering the house with a stick, min gled with hoarse gurgling and croaking as if some one was being choked. On going out to see what all the row was about. Mr. Allard found that a crow had swallowed his baited hook, and In Its ef forts to get away was banging his fish pole about, while the dog was barking for Joy at the fix the crow was in. As the crow had swallowed the hook for keeps, there was no way of disgorging it and his doom was sealed. His neck wa3 wrung to put him out of misery and he had to be carved before the hook could be recovered. Country Quiet Oppressed Hiil A man who Is up against the strenuous side of life six days In the week, and who spends most of his working hours at a desk with the rattle of half a dozen other typewriters and the roar of a busy street filling the room, went out Into the coun try Saturday. He wandered a mile or more away from the haunts of men and then, being tired of walking on the un even ground, rested beside a pool formed by a small brook. The sun shone warmly on him, the birds whistled and called to each other overhead, the air was balmy and the flowers were blooming. All the forces of nature were at work pumping the sap into the plants and trees, and the very earth seemed to be breathing. The little fishes and frogs in the pool seemed contented and happy, each busy making a living as best he could. All was peace and quiet. It was so quiet as to be really painful. In a short time the quiet grew oppressive and the busy man's head began to ache and he could fairly hear the wheels in it going around with a monot onous buzzing. He pulled himself to gether and got back to town as soon as possible and says he wants .no more of country quiet. William Donovan Going to New York. William Donovan, who has been a resident of Portland since 1S4S, and who was in the service of the O. S. N. Co. and its successor, the O. R. & N. Co., for 24 years prior to the time the Union Pa cific secured control of the company In 1887, will leave May 5, accompanied by his wife, to visit their old home In New York, after an absence of 43 years. Mr. Donovan does not expect to meet many whom he will recognize after his long ab sence. He will hardly feel at home In Greater New York, as there was no Cen tral Park when he left, and the city was small compared to what It now is. EAST $IDE NEWS.

BUILDING WORK ACTIVE EAST SIDE CONTRACTORS RUSHED WITH ORDERS. Cottages Under Way In All Parts of Town-Some of the New Homes. Two weeks of favorable weather have enabled contractors and builders to push work on foundations for new buildings on the East Side. Frames for cottages have sprung up like mushrooms In all directions. One contractor who has 15 houses under way and employs a large number of men says he has never seen anything like the present rush. He has been compelled to decline to make bids on houses. Half of his time, he says, Is TWO FINE NEW taken up with people who want plans and figures for cottages. A great many old dwellings are undergoing repairs. House movers have not been so busy for a num ber of years. They are kept on the move raising houses up for new foundations and shifting them about for rebuilding. An unusual amount of this class of work Is under way. On E3st Burnslde street half a dozen new dwellings have been started. They will cost, all told, about 512,000.

Dana Mathlot, a well-knOwn salesman for the Standard OH Company, died of pneumonia at St. VIncenfs Hospital yes terday morning. He was born In French Prairie, Marion County, about 32 years ago, and his parents belong to an old pioneer family. The J. K. Gill Com pany first claimed his services In this city as salesman, and he began to be known as a successful handler of goods through out a large section of this country. His warm, genial nature, won him many friends. About 14 years ago, he accepted a position as salesman with the Standard Oil Company, and gradually widened his circle of customers, becoming favorably known among the railroad and shipping interests. Some time ago, while on a trip, he contracted a cold and was ill for 14 months in St. VIncenfs Hospital, but recovered and went on the road again. Last Friday morning he complained of having caught cold, and was taken to the hospital. Dan Mathlot, as he was known, was a charter member of the Multnomah Ama teur Athletic Club, and one of the active members of the Travelers' Protective As sociation. One week ago, while appar ently in the best of health, he joined the Ancient Order of United Workmen. His body was taken yesterday to Hol man's undertaking rooms, and a short service was held under the auspices of the Travelers' Protective Association. About 50 members of the association at tended. The body was shipped to Walla Walla last night. Forty traveling men and friends of the young man marched behind the hearse to the Union Depot. The father of the young man Is Adolphe Mathlot, a pioneer of 1S50, who came to this country from France and crossed the plains with his brother Peter. The brothers, Adolphe and Peter, settled In Marlon county and engaged in farming. Thirty years ago Adolphe Mathlot was one of the first wheat shippers tp foreign countries. He built up a large and profit able business. He moved his family to Portland and subsequently to Walla Wftlla, where he became a wheat oper ator. One of Dana Mathlot's aunts is the wife of John Labbe, one of the owners of the Labbe building. Isaac P. Deslion Dead. Isaac P. Deshon, a merchant, died yes terday at No. 9 North Third street, after a short illness. He was born at Searsport, Me., 59 years ago.

Before settling In Portland, he was engaged In shipping business along the Pacific Coast, and had a large num ber of seafaring people as friends and customers. He left a widow, but no children. The body will be shipped to Santa Rosa, Cal. CHRISTIAN DEVOTEDNESS. Opening; Sermon by Rev. H. L. Pratt, United Evangelical Pastor. Rev. H. L. Pratt, the new pastor of the First United Evangelical Church, East Tenth and East Sherman streets, preached his opening sermon yesterday morning. He spoke on "Christian De votedness," saying, in part: "Every man lives with a motive, whether that motive be high or low. If the motive is high, the life strives to reach that ideal. If the motive is low, the life will be on that plane. No one now flings a charge of madness at the Riihllme enthusiasm of Paul. He is looked i on as a model Christian. But while he RESIDENCES. lived he had no such general apprecia tion to win courage and sustain him. What he had above other men was not praise, but labors and reproach. He. endured all because he had In himself the mainspring of faith, and the whole energy of love. The moving principle of a Christian's love Is the strong, unchang ing love of Christ to his people, assured to them by His spirit and His word. Paul had a fear of God, a reverence for the law. He walked in all good con science. But when the love of Christ was revealed to him and suffused his 3plrlt, it made a new man of him, thrilled, stirred, animated, constrained him to love Christ and the church. What it has done for Paul it will do for all. But,, as the apostle grew old In experience, this motive lost none of Its power. The love of Christ became to him as It does to all experienced Christians more and more wonderful. "The way the motive acts is through no mere gush of feeling, but through the j consideration of purpose and efficacy of i Christ's death. They which live should i not henceforth live unto themselves, but i unto Him which died for them and rose again. The motive works by establishing a new law for the ruling of our life. It IS the 'not-unto-self law." What we need to overcome our moral indolence and habits of selfpleaslng is the pressure of strong conviction and motives. And we can best get them by meditation on Christ." EUGENE WILL BE WRECKED Machinery Will Be Taken Out and Hull Moved From Rapids. OREGON CITY, April 28 It has been decided, says the captain of the steam er Albany, to wreck the steamer Eugene where she now lies, near Clackamas Rapids. The machinery will be taken out and the hull moved away, as It Is not considered that 'the boat Is 'worth the expense that would be Involved In raising It and making needed repairs. The Eugene was loaded with pulp for the 2!rown Paper Mills, when she struck a rock, and sank in water to the depth of the upper deck on one side. The freight was taken off by the steamer Albany and delivered at the paper mills. At first It was thought the boat could be re paired at a reasonable expense. No Longer Any Fear for Kite. ST.

City Engineer Chase Favors a Creo sotlng Plant. City Engineer Chase Is trying to Induce some one to establish In Portland a plant for creosotlng timber In order to prevent Its decay. This process is In use in many places and has proved serviceable. The use of timber In the building of bridges, docks, roadways, etc., is so large in this region that some method of preserving the timber from decay Is needed. All the rail way companies which are large consumers of timber which must He on the ground' have adopted some plan of preservation. The most common and best known ma terial used for this purpose Is creosote oil. The process requires that the timber be seasoned to open the pores and drive out the moisture by placing them In steam-tight boxes and turning In hot steam. After this has gone on long enough to heat the wood thoroughly and destroy the germs that cause fermenta tion, the boilers are exhausted and a vacuum produced. Creosote oil is then poured into the steam boxes and thor oughly permeates the timbers. Ordi nary timber will absorb about 1Q or 12 pounds of creosote oil to the cubic foot. Other wood preservatives can be forced Into timbers or wood blocks for paving in the same way, and would doubtless add much to the life of the timber. If any more wood block pavements are to be laid here, some process of preserving them will have to be adopted before the blocks are laid. SAN FRANCISCO. The O. R. & N. Co.'s steamer Geo. W.

Dr. Hill Says Rational People Do Not Believe in Infant Dam nation. The report of the committee of the Presbyterian General .Assembly in favor of a rhoderate revision of the church creed was received with Interest by Pres byterians in Portland. When Inter viewed on the subject of the report of the cbmmlttee, Rev. Dr. E. P. Hill, of the First Presbyterian. Church, expressed the opinion that the committee's action would be satisfactory, to both the radical and conservative elements of the church. Tho changes made, according to his view, are designed to make the statement of the church creed in several details conform more closely and harmoniously with the divine truth, while not altering In a radi cal way the cherished articles of faith. Moreover, he believes that the creed It self will be strengthened by the addition of a statement concerning the belief of. the church in the love of God for all men, and the devotion of Presbyterians to the biblical command to preach the gospel to all nations. Regarding the changes proposed by the committee and the reasons for them, Dr. Hill said: "The report of the committee appointed by the last General Assembly has been looked for with very great Interest. Like every other branch of the church univer sal, the Presbyterian denomination Is composed of two well-defined classes of thinkers. There are those who are Inpa tient of creed. They desire that large latitude be given to Investigators. They see no harm In using the results of the world's best scholarships In the study of the Bible. In their eagerness to coin mend religion to the reason of men they are often tempted to hold In abeyance everything suggestive of the supernatur al. Then there are those who make much of 'credo.' They are suspicious of the man who will not subscribe to a stiff dec laration of faith. They feel, and there Is much to confirm their conviction, that the practice against creeds Is In reality an evidence of revolt against the divine authority. They become disgusted with the silly twaddle of Irreligious men who criticise with the confidence of omnisci ence the statements of religious think ers whose shoe latchets they are unwoiv thy to unloose. How many men who talk so positively about 'predestination know what the term, means? And how many realize that it is simply a term used by the Apostle Paul? "These two classes in the church have awaited eagerly the report of the commit tee appointed by the last assembly to find the mind of the church and to rec ommend some course of action. We all feel that there are statements In our con fession of faith which should be changed. We do not want the splendid truth of God's sovereignty to be stated in a way that will shock the moral sensi bility. Rather should It be given In some such way as the great apostle wrote it; i. e., to lad the mind reslstlessly to the Inspiring exclamation, 'I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which Is In Christ Jesus our Lord. We all feel that the statement concerning elect Infants Is most unfortunate. The men who wrote the words did not believe that any babes were lost, but logic which has often played such havoc with religious state ments of truth seemed to demand such a wording, and they put It as we have it. "None of us believe that the pope la anti-Christ. Rather do we rejoice In the faithful witness of the church from which we spring, to the essential truths of the gospel. Therefore, we desire to have' removed every statement which, written at a time of fierce religious con troversy, casts any reflection on any branch of Christendom. In addition to all this, there Is a demand for a brief, clear statement of belief which may be placed In the hands of all the members of our churches In order that they may be able to state readily the great essen tial doctrines of our faith. "Now the radicals in our ranks have been fearful that the committee, coming under the Influence of the ultra conserva tives, would not recommend that the ob jctlonable portions of the confession be modified. The conservatives have been nervous lest the committee would be moved by the aggressive element to sug gest changes that would endanger the integrity of the Presbyterian system. "But It seems evident now that the re port will satisfy both parties.

In all modesty. I think I may say boldly that Presbyterlanlsm has been a mighty factor In the religious life of the most Intelligent nations on the globe. And now with the removal of these serious obstacles which have been indicated, we look confidently for greater things ahead." A Twinge of Jealousy. Astoria Astorlan. The name for the Portland exposition is certainly long enough. It would be difficult to name a good reason why the first half of it would not do just as well as the whole. It Is certainly to be hoped that now the ambitious "American Pa cific" part has been added, Portland will make an earnest effort to see that the exposition does not belle the full name given. It will certainly have to be planned on an ambitious scale to not appear top heavy. Wise Bros, and G. S. Wright, dentists, rooms 211. 212 and 213, The Failing, corner Third and Washington.
