HARQUAil GRANI Symphony Concert CORDRATS THEATER Florence Roberts ana Alcazar Stock Company, presenting "Nell Gwynn' To Get Their Diyidect. The rush of depositors of the Portland Savings Bank J to the office of Receiver Nixon to secure the i per cent dividend being paid still continues. Yesterday there was a string of depositors extending from down the hall, patiently awaiting their turns. They were very quiet, butnany of them looked as If they were not pleased. It was sug gested that those wholooked cross were vexed because they did not have more money in the bank when It "busted," so that they might have a larger amount to draw. About 150 or so depositors can be paid their dividends in a day, and there are some 2400 depositors. If the rush were kept up the dividend could be got rid of in 18 or 20 days, but as the rush will soon slack up and as many who know a final dividend Is to be declared leforlong will wait till then to present their claims. It Is probable that the pa ing of the dividend will not be completed inside of a month. Has Secured Some Canneries. It Is as yet impossible to ascertain definitely what has been the result of Mr. Onftroy's attempt to organize a salmon packers' trust on this Coast. All cannerynvn and fishermen ar deeply interested in this matter, but the oply information they can obtain is a rumor to the effect that Onffroy has secured control of the Alaska Packers' Association, paying Jl 50 per share for the stock, and that he has also secured control of the Columbia River Packers' Association or combine, paying $7 per share, and, having secured control of these, his prospects are very good for securing control of the Puget Sound Cannerymen's Association, and a lot of outside canneries in Alaska. The annual meeting of the Columbia River Packers' Association has not been held yet, and it Is rumored that it has been postponed until Mr. Onffroy has completed his hlg deal. The One Boss Kicked. An acrimonious hearing took place yesterday In the Mu nicipal Court, when H. S. "Warlner was accused of assaulting John Howard, it section boss in charge of grading work on Hawthorne avenue, near East Eleventh street. In a rich Hibernian accent How ard testified that he gave Warlner work and that when the defendant started to boss the workmen, trouble ensued, as there could only be one boss. The witness then discharged Warlner, who struck him In the eje. Another man assisted Warlner. The latter testified that he act ed in self-defense, as Howard went at him with a shovel. One witness, W. Gir ley, gave abusive testimony, and narrowly escaped being fined for contempt of court, hut he apologized and the matter ended. Warlner was found guilty and fined $10 Identity of a Suicide. Mrs. Sadie Mul ligan was shown, yesterday at the Cor oner's Inquest, to be the name of the woman who committed suicide early yes terday morning by swallowing carbolic acid at the Red Front lodging-house, and who died on the way to St. Vincent's Hospital She was 2S years old and part Indian, and her people live near Salem. The evidence also showed that she took her life because her colored lover. Prank Hunter, a hotel -waiter, was tired of her. and he was paying attention to another woman. Hunter testified that Mrs. Mulli gan, who was also known as Mary Mar tin and Mary Meno, was born at Prairie City, Grant County, and that her hus band is at present an inmate of the State Penitentiary. She had threatened to com mit suicide before. For a Model Pavement. The work of laying the stone-block pavement on Main street, between Third and Fourth, Is progressing and bids fair to result in the best-paved block In Portland. City Engi neer Chase has decided to fill the crevices between the blocks with pea gravel and then pour hot pitch over all. This is the Liverpool specification and is cheaper than grouting with cement, and makes a better etreet in some respects. Mr. Chase In tends this "block to be a model for property-owners to pattern after. The blocks are evenly trimmed and carefully laid, and the surface is so smooth that the pavement will not be so noisy as the ordinary stone-block pavement. If it Is worked occasionally with hot pitch It should last forever or thereabouts. Bids for Oitsoubes. Captain Langfltt, engineer of the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, is now receiving bids, which will be opened May 24, for the construction of two brick ollhouses, at the lighthouse station near Tongue Point. These build ings will be 24x45 feet each, and are in tended to hold a year's supply of oil for the lighthouses in this district say about 60,000 gallons. Heretofore there has been no ollhouse at Tongue Point, and the supply of oil has been stored In a ware house on the wharf. The new ollhouses will be built a short distance from the wharf and will be reached by tramways. Subscriptions -to X. M. C. A. The com mittees having In charge the raising of funds for the new X. M.

It is prob able that the question asfto whether the Board of School Directors'.shall pay over to the board of directors of the free kin dergarten the $3000 voted to them by the taxpayers' meeting will be settled by a friendly suit in the courts. The School Directors cannot satisfy themselves In re gard to the legality of the action of the" taxpayers, and as is usual and natural, lawyers disagree on the subject. It is the unanimous desire of the School Board that the kindergarten directors should bring mandamus proceedings, and so settle the question as to the legality of the action of the taxpayers' meeting. There has been no conference between the two boards of directors as yet, but they will probably agree to have a friendly suit. When Clerk Allen has any money, the kindergarten directors will ask for their share. It can be refused and then "the fight will be on." Official, Inspection of Roads. County Judge Cake and Commissioners Showers and Mack will start this morning for a two days' trip over the roads in the east ern part of the county. They will meet all of the Road Supervisors and confer with them concerning necessary work. lumber, etc. All roads and bridges will be Inspected, and during the trip five road districts will be gone over. Some of the bridges need to be repaired and the Judge and Commissioners can act more Intelli gently In these matters after having made a personal examination. W. B. Steel, re cently appointed Roadmaster, Is expected to accompany the party. It Is stated that Messrs. Showers and Mack think Steele ought to go along, and that Judge Cake does not want him, feeling that his at tendance is not necessary for the success of the event. Suit for Insurance. Martha E. Smith has sued the supreme assembly of United Artisans to recover $1900 insurance on the life of her son. William E. Smith. The complaint states that William E. Smith became a member of the order on October 17. 1S99, and paid all of the dues and assessments except the payment of one Installment for the month of January, 1900. amounting to $2 20, payable at Port land, Or. He was on the way to Portland with the pbject of paying tne, installment, it is alleged, on January 17, when he died. The proofs of death were submitted and on June 16. 1900, Mrs. Smith offered to pay the $2 20 and the society refused to accept It or to pay the Insurance.

Will. Sue for License The Southern Pacific Company and the O. R. & N. Co., having declined to pay the quarterly li cense of $75 Imposed upon them by the occupation license ordinance passed by the Council some time ago, on the ground that they are exempt under interstate laws, are to be sued by the city. City i Attorney Long will bring- suit against both companies to test the validity of the occupation license ordinance, and the matter will probably be carried to the Supreme Court before If. Is decided. ' Not Agreeable Treasure. County Clerk Hanley Holmes has been authorized by the County Commissioners to dispose of seven coyote scalps which came into his official possession under the scalp bounty act. He placed them In the vault where all things under his charge are stored, but they began to get loud and to permeate the place with an odor which was not the most pleasant thing In the world, so the Commissioners decided that he could burn them In the furpare. Teachers' Pay. School Clerk Allen will be pleased to have as many of the teach ers In the public schools as can make It convenient to do so call at his office after the close of school today and receive checks for the month's salaries due them.

The simple but impressive services of the Episcopal church marked the break ing of ground for the Good Samaritan Nurses' Hom,e yesterday afternoon. Quite a number of friends of the institution had gathered in the open air at, the northeast corner of Twenty-third and Marshall streets, where ja temporary, stand beneath two spreading plum trees was adorned with dogwood blossoms. An organ was placed at the disposal of Mrs. E. T. C. Stevens, who furnished the ac companiment for the various hymns sung by the boys of St. Mark's choir. The nurses of the hospital, arrayed Jn their Dale blue frowns, white anrons and cans. made quite a pretty addition to the group of ministers and boys In white surplice covering the dark robes. The cool breeze from the north was. not uncomfortable, though Bishop Morris thought It prudent to make the cere monies somewhat brief, so no long ad dresses were made. The bishop spoke of the deep significance of the occasion and asked the Divine blessing on the work about to be undertaken. He paid a glow ing tribute to the women who have been so instrumental in the progress of the Good Samaritan Hospital in this city. "It was a Woman who gave the first $2000; a second woman donated $1000 and a third added $500 to help the work of assisting the sick and suffering," he said. He would therefore call upon the women of the hospital to take part in the ceremony of breaking ground. A new spade, whose handle was orna mented with ribbons of blue and white the colors of the hospital was handed Mrs. Emma J. Wakeman, superintendent, who had the honor of moving the first spadeful from the proposed excavation. Each of the nurses followed her exam ple, amid the applause of the spectators. Mrs. Smith, who wa6 matron ot. the hos pital at Its beginning, 27 years ago, was present and was called upon to handle tne spade in nonor or tne occasion. &ne was followed by Rev. Messrs. Van Waters, Wilson, Morrison, Simpson, Coney and Dr. Judd, each of whom threw a spadeful out of the excavation amid the humorous remarks from their friends. Then followed Mrs. Stevens, the organ ist, Mr. Whidden, the architect, Mr. Bingham, the contractor, and old Andrew, the colored man, whose long association with the hospital had entitled him to a post of honor at the ceremonies. The 7-year-old son of L. B. Cox was the last to handle thespade, and the bishop spoke feelingly of the kindly Interest taken In the hospital by the child's father, who recently passed out of this life. Dr. A. A. Morrison's remarks were nec essarily brief. He spoke of the ceremony as the real beginning of a great work which symbolized the highest type of re ligion, relieving suffering humanity. It suggested also the highest of all the vo cations of- woman, one that breathed of kindness, affection, solicitude and self denial of the mother in the home. He spoke of his own experience as an in mate of one of these hospitals In the East, and told of the tender, motherly care that nursed him back Into life, when hope had almost disappeared. The ser vices concluded with the hymn "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." The Nurses' Home is to be a three- story brick. The ground plan is in the form of the capital letter H, the open courts facing north and south. It will accommodate 50 nurses, and will cost abput $20,000. The contractors hope to have it ready for occupancy by Decem ber L to Portland with the intention of residing here permanently. He would like to see ft choral society organized here, where there are so many voices suited to Ifc THREE KINDS OF NUISANCE COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Nell Gwynn" at Cordray's Tonight. Tonight and tomorrow night "The Ad ventures of Nell Gwynn" will be the bill presented by Miss Florence Roberts and the Alcazar Stock Company, at Cordray's Theater. This version of "Nell Gywnn" is one entirely new to this city, and is said to be far stronger and brighter than any of the numerous versions written of that play, and has had the stamp of a tre mendous San Francisco success. "Nell Gwynn" will be staged with fine scenic effect and costumed historically correct. Gymnastic Carnival. The annual gymnastic exhibition of the T. M. C. A. will take- place this evening at the Marquam. One hundred and twenty-five young men and women ath letes will show what systematic training in a gymnasium will do. All of the num bers have been thoroughly rehearsed and if faithful practice counts the exhibition ought to be a decided success. Many of the numbers introduce new and special features other than the regular set forms of work of this kind. The exhibition is held at the Marquam in order to accom modate the large number that wish to attend this benefit entertainment for the "New Building Furnishing Fund." The reserved seat sale opened with a rush, but there are a number of choice seats still to be had. Advertising; Street Signs, Rubbish Boxes and Bill Boards. Some curiosity has been shown as to the persons In whose interest ordinances were introduced In the CounclL Wednes day authorizing the placing of advertis ing street signs at the corners of the street's and the erection of. rubbish boxes along the sidewalks, also to be used for advertising purposes. It is learned that Messrs. Wilson and Nicholas, Insurance agents of this city, are the promoters of the street sign ad vertising scheme. The person who de sires the privilege of placing rubbish boxes along the sldewalks'is A. H. Wise, a resident of Sioux City, la., who has supplied Sioux City and Chicago with such boxes and Is now endeavoring to introduce them into San Francisco, Port land and Seattle. The fate of the advertising street sign scheme may be considered as sealed. The rubbish box scheme Is not so objection able in some ways, but the excitement aroused by the attempt to Introduce the advertising street sign is quite certain to knock out the advertising rubbish box proposition. It Is urged that while shop keepers now sweep the rubbish out of their stores onto the streets In violation of a city ordinance, they would If there was a rubbish box within reach deposit their sweepings in it, or if they failed to do so the police woufd enforce the ordin ance mentioned. The metal boxes pro posed to be placed on the sidewalks are four feet square, and, with the legs, about five feet in height. It is not necessary that they should be so large in order to hold all the waste paper and orange peel ings which would be thrown in them, but they are made large and high so as to hold more metal signs. It is the opin ion of some of the Councllmen that such large boxes would not look well on the narrow sidewalks and short blocks of this city, and that If It Is deemed ad visable that there should be some erected on business streets, the city might put upborne of suitable size and give them a trial. Boxes the size of package mail boxes would be large enough and they would probably receive a fair proportion of mall matter. From the miles and miles of bill boards lately erected in this city and the anxiety to furnish advertising street signs and advertising rubbish boxes, it would seem that the advantages of advertising have only lately dawned on the public. It is a wonder that no one has yet secured the exclusive privilege of placing advertise ments on mall boxes and In the lobbies of postofflces. While bill boards of rea sonable size and properly located give rise to few objections, the erection of such boards by the block and by the mile is a nuisance, and In some cities has caused no end of trouble. In Los Angeles, for Instance, an at tempt was made to abate this nuisance, which had become intolerable, and after much litigation It was found that the erection of such bill boards could not be forbidden, but could be regulated. The City Council therefore passed an ordin ance regulating bill boards and providing that they must be placed at a distance of 200 feet above the ground. This set tled the bill board nuisance, and some thing Of this kind Is likely to be neces sary In Portland If the Idea of cleaning up and beautifying the city in prepara tion for the coming Exposition is carried out. The Council may be depended upon to knock the advertising street sign and advertising rubbish box nuisances higher than Los Angeles did the bill boards. VISITED THE FIREFIGHTERS the visitors. Where all did so well It, is almost ungracious to select any one for special mention, but it Is said that No. 8 company beat the other companies about a second in hitching up and getting ready to start out in seven seconds. This was accomplished by the driver being a high jumper, and jumping from, the floor to his seat on the engine, by which the second was saved. The Mayor and Coun cllmen express themselves as much pleaded with their trip and the excellent condition in which they found all the companies, their horses and apparatus. MUSIC IN OUR CHURCHES. "Nathan Hale." Clyde Fitch's most successful play, "Nathan Hale," Is likely to prove a pleasing attraction to the patrons of the Marquam Grand Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. May 6, 7, 8. The life of Nathan Hale is one of the noblest examples of patriotic self-sacrifice that our history affords, and It must Indeed be a sluggish nature that will not throb in sympathy at the thought of this gallant hero who went bravely to the gallows, leaving behind him all that life held dear, without a' qualm, sustained by the Inspiring thought that he had contributed his all for his country's good. The sale of seats will open this morn ing at 10 o'clock. SPECIAL NOTICE. Mr. S. V. Haskell, for four years cash ier for the Graton & Knight Mfg. Co., 51 First .street, Portland.

"Camllle" will be the bill for Wednes day and Thursday nights and the Satur day matinee. In this character Miss Rob erts is conceded to be the equal of Bern hardt and Clara Morris, in her concep tion of the role.

Ellis Jennings, a prominent lumber man, bf Neenah, "Wis., Is in Portland sIth a view to Investing $100,000 in Oregon timber land. L. B. Conroy.-a. sawmill man, of Alma Gordo, Mexico, is at the Imperial for a few days. He was formerly connected with Finley Morrison in the Wisconsin woods. Henry Meldrum, the newly appointed Surveyor-General for Oregon, was In the city yesterday. He says he will prob ably assume the duties of his office about June 1. Alfred Lough, the organist, has returned Mayor and City Council Inspect the Engine-Houses. ; According to agreement, Mayor Rowe and all the members of the Council ex- cept Holbrook and Sherrett were promptly at the City Hall at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and joined Chief Campbell and Fire Commissioners Davey, Everdlng and Fleidner, waiting with a conveyance to take them on a tour of Inspection of va rious engine-houses in order that they might inform themselves as to how the money appropriated for the Fire Depart ment had been expended and what was needed in the rway of repairs and im provements. They visited all of the engine-houses on the West Side and several on the East Side, and were much pleased with the neatness and good order in which the apparatus was found and the fine condition of the horses. At the headquarters on Fourth street the Commissioners ordered a practice call and in order to show off the fine horses lately purchased for this company. Sev eral of the houses were found to be in need of repairs, In one or two places the floor Joists being badly decayed. It was also found that all the houses would be improved by being painted, and the Coun cllmen, seeing how the foremen had made the best of everything and how nest and tidy everything was kept, even under the most unfavorable circumstances, vowed to themselves that needed improvements should be made as soon as money is avail able Engine No. 3, an antiquated machine long out of commission, and stored at the Twentieth-street house, was inspected, but it Is doubtful if it will be advisable to expend on it the amount necessary to put It In working " order. The new engine house down on St. Helens road, In the manufacturing district, which has been built at an expense of about $20wi by the manufacturers of that district, and do nated to the city, was inspected and found to be a model in the way of arrange ment and construction, and the Council felt like acting liberally toward the donors In the way of furnishing them with nre protection. The companies at a numher of the houses went through a practice drill to exhibit their alertness, and acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction ot Lament That Congregational Sing ing Is No More. PORTLAND, May2. (To the Editor.) On Sunday morning the people assem bled 'for worship, the .minister arose and said: "Let us begin our service with the hymn: This Is the day of sacred rest, "The day the Xord has given; Whereupon the choir sang with much effect (?): Thaw saw tha daw, aw saw caw raw, Tha daw tha "law haw gaw. "La me," said an old lady as she went home from church, "why don t they speak their words so a body can tell what they say, and what makes their voices wabble and quiver so? Are their hearts a break ing? They didn't look like It, I'm sure." Hans Andersen, In one of his delightful fairy tales, tells of an artificial nightin gale being substituted for the real bird, but a poor filsherman. who had many an evening listened to the genuine nightin gale, said, as he listened to the artificial one: "It sounds very pretty, the melodies, too, seem the,, same, yet there Is some thing wanting. I do not know what." There is likewise something wanting In our current church music The truth Is, the churches" of Portland, both Protes tant and Catholic, are straining more after a type which amounts to a perform ance by prodigies and experts, for a crowd, not always satisfactory in size by any means, who come to gape and wonder. Congregational singing Is there fore under tha weather. When will min isters and others learn that church sing ing from memory, or "by heart," by all the people, led by that king of musical Instruments, the pipe-organ, Is, after all, the only true church music. Singing from note Is of course Indispen sable, and everybody should be able to read music as readily as a paragraph in the morning paper; but singing frqm note Is always attended, everywhere, with a certain constrained effect, inseparable from note singing. The advantage, as every mffsiclan knows, in singing from memory, is a certain Independence and freedom which enables the singer to concentrate his attention upon both the sentiment of the hymn and the effect. Church music is, or ought to be, more than mere -technlc, more than screaming by one or two persons. It Is the spon taneous pouring out of the soul of all the people, In one mighty volume of praise and joy. RIP VAN WINKLE.
