The minutes of the previous meeting
were read and approved.
Chairman Rowe of the committee on
permanent organization, reported the fol
lowing programme and recommended its
-adoption:
1. Election of permanent chairman.
2. Election of clerk, and that his salary
as such, until July 1, 1901, shall be at the
rate of 550 per month.
3. Adoption of rules.

5. New business.
6. The election of chairman shall be by

The committee on rules and regulations
.submitted their report, which was read
by the secretary.
Morgan moved that the board take up
for consideration the report relating to
permanent organization. Carried.
The secretary read the programme for
permanent organization and the other re
port was laid on the table for the time
being.
Hlrsch moved that the temporary chair
cman be declared the permanent chair
man of the board. The motion was car
ried by a unanimous vote, and Mr. Mills
was declared permanent chairman. The
(board Aen proceeded to the election of a
clerk.
Morgan moved that the election of clerk
Ibe postponed till the next regular meeting.
He explained his reasons for this mo
tion at somt length, saying that the
members should nave an opportunity to
learn something about the candidates, of
whom, he knew nothing.
Malarkey said enough time had been
wasted in preliminary work, and they
should proceed to the election of a clerk
ot once.
Teal said he hoped the motion would
not carry, as any candidate for clerk who
had not given every member of the board
an opportunity to know all about his
qualifications would not amount to much.
Morgan's motion was lost and the board
proceeded with the election of a clerk.
Burrell nominated Sanderson Reed.
Malarkey nominated Charles E. Lock
wood. Messrs. Fries and Montague were
appeinted tellers and the ballot was
spread, with the result that Lockwood
received seven votes and Reed 19. So
Reed was declared duly elected and took
Ills seat.
Rcsrulnr Session at Right.
The report on rules and regulations was
then taken from the table and Malarkey
moved that It be adopted.
Robertson moved that-rule 10 be amend
ed so as to fix the time of meetings at
S P. M.t Instead of 2 P. M.
Strowbridge said that by adopting the
report of sub-committees they would be
accepting the ideas of a minority of 14,
instead of the ideas of the whole com
mission of 33. He extended his remarks
Into quite a lengthy speech, displaying
considerable oratorical talent, but proving
nothing new.
Morgan offered an amendment to, Rob
ertson's amendment that the board pro
ceed to adopt the report, rule by rule!
Hlrsch thought the amendment not ger
mane and raised a point of order, wnicn
the chairman decided was well taken, so
Morgan's motion was not considered.
Hlrsch opposed Robertson's amendment.
Baying that no legislative body meets at
night. Men who accept positions on such
bodies should let their own business give
way to the public's interest and meet in
theflay time, when fresh, so as to give
their best attention to the business.
Montag said he would have to attend
at night or not at all, as his days were
taken up with work. Members of legis
latures had sought this honor; it had
been forced on the members of this board.
Robertson's amendment was then put
and carried, so the meetings of the board

to take up the work of formulating a
charter in an orderly manner and moved
that it be considered and adopted, one
recommendation at a time.
Morgan moved to postpone consideration
of the report till the next regular meet
ing. After a brief discussion it was decided
that the report He over till next meeting,
which will be tomorrow evening, when

recommendation at a time.
On motion of Teal, the committee on

sub-quarters to the different standing

o'clock, the regular time of meeting.

Five of Them Roa la Yesterday and
a Good Beginning- Made in
Xeeded Reform.
The crusade by the police against bicy
clists who persist in riding their wheels
on city sidewalks, after they have been
told not to do so, was actively begun
yesterday, and these arrests took place:
W. H. KING,
G. S. ALLEN,
G. ROHSE,
H. TV. CARLSON,
H.B. KIEL.
King, Allen and Rob.se had hearings be
fore Municipal Judge Cameron. The two
ing in which my office is located is sit
uated right in the middle of Park street,
and will have to remain there. I believe
that I can arrange to have all the
material for the building hauled in on the
Park street side, thus dispensing with the
necessity of the fences on the other' sides.
My office, however, projects also info
Davis street, and for this reason about
one-third of the Davis street fence will
have to remain.
"I regret that the complaints against
the fence did not come to me in the first
place, as I could have made this state
ment to them at that time. There was
no occasion for them to make a public
question of the matter. It is an-old say
ing that you can always catch more flies
with honey than with vinegar.
"Of course I can "simply recommend to
the supervising architect of the .treasury
department that the portions of the fence

Professor Ewlng'a Lecture
Cathedral Coarse.
in the
"The Literary and Historical Shrines of
Germany" was the subject of a lecture
given in the Cathedral series, last night,
in the First Presbyterian jChurch, by
Professor James P. Ewing. The audience
was cultured and appreciative, and nearly
every pew downstairs was filled. Pro
fessor Ewlng began by a brief reference
to the old German Empire under Charle
magne, Emperor of the "West and King
of France, and traced the progress of tho
empire until it was shattered by Napo
leon's victorious legions in 1806. He also
gave a scholarly. Interesting account of
the part played by Prussia, in making
the modern German Empire possible, in
1S71, and traced the rise of the Hohenzol-
lern family. The pictures shown of medi
eval and modern Germany were represent
ative, and excellently selected.

delivered May 28, will be on the Holy
Land, by Rev. Dr. Stephen S. Wise.
former defendants were arrested by Po
liceman Gibson, and they entered pleas
of guilty. "I rode two blocks on East
Clay street before I entered Ladd's field,"
said King. "I recently returned to the
city after being in British Columbia for
two years, and did not know that the
ordinance against persons riding bicycles I
on sidewalks was in force."
"That is no excuse," commented the
judge. "It is not enough to say that
you are Ignorant of the law. We had the
fact that bicycle ridlngon sidewalks was
prohibited advertised In the city news
papers. You should have kept your eyes
open." '
Allen said he rode his wheel on the side
walk from the middle of the block, where
he lives on Union avenue, to a drug store,
to get medicine. .
"You broke the law by riding on the
sidewalk that is all there Is to It," re
plied the judge. King and Allen were
each fined $5, and they paid the fine.
Rohse was charged with riding on the
sidewalk leading to the railroad depot at
the foot of Jefferson street. His attor
ney moved to dismiss the charge, as the
location named in the bill of complaint
had not been dedicated to the city, and
was not a street.
"That contention came up last year,
and we may as well dispose of it now,"
said the Judge. "Complaints were made
that bicyclists habitually used the slde
w.alk leading to the depot, to the great
inconvenience of passengers hurrying to
catch trains. In the absence of the po
liceman who made the arrest the case
acrainst Rohse Is o.nntlmipd "

NEW BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
Five Old City Laws Retrained, nnd
Will Be Presented Today.
A proposed ordinance regulating the use
of bicycles in this city, compiled, by Dep
uty City Attorney Davis and R. G. Mor
row, vice-president of Multnomah County
Bicycle Taxpayers' Association, will be
presented at the meeting of the Common
Council this afternoon. The probabilities
are that the new ordinance will speedily
be passed and become a law.
For some time it has been conceded
that the five bicycle ordinances of the
city are cumbersome and Ineffective, and
need amendment. Mr. Davis and Mr.
Morrow accordingly read over the whole
of the bicycle ordinances and - compiled
a new general ordinance covering the
whole question, eliminating useless sec
tions and creating new ones.
Af present the minimum penalty for
falling to equip a bicycle with a lighted
lamp or bell is $5, and experience in the
Municipal Court has shown that this pen
alty is considered so excessive that the
offender was often discharged. The con
sequence was that boys who were before
thf court went away with the erroneous-
opinion that the ordinances could not be
enforced. The new ordinance provides
that the penalty for violation of its pro
visions shall be from any sum In the dis
cretion of the Municipal Judge up to ?100.

THAT CUSTOM HOUSE FENCE.
Resident Architect Willing to Rec
ommend Its Removal.
Edgar M. Lazarus, resident architect of
the new custom house, gave out a state
ment yesterday relative to the complaints
that have been made concerning the con
tinuance of the fence which was erected
around the new building when work was
started, and which remains over the pro
test of property owners living in 'the
neighborhood, who object to it as un
sightly and unnecessary. Mr. Lazarus
said:
"The fence was erected under authority
of an ordinance passed by the Common
Council, and which allowed the govern
ment to erect the fence and maintain it
until such time as the building may be
completed. Consequently there Is no
question as to our authority to erect and
maintain the obstruction. The ordinance
gave us permission to fence up to the
center of -Seventh, Park, Davis and
Everett" streets, except a small place on
Everett street where a fire cistern is
located. Of course,- we were permitted
only to fence up that- portion of the
streets mentioned which bound block 51,
on which the custom house Is being con
structed,

Old Grumpy, the brown bear, and her
offspring, the dyspeptic cub, Johnnie,
brought forth tears of laughter from the
children. The pictures ilustrating the
amusing adventures ot Old Grumpy with
the hotel cat and her kittens at Yellow
stone Park, for pure drollery eclipsed
anything that Mr. Seton has yet shown in
the way of sketches. The cat. It will
be remembered, completely routed Old
Grumpy and sent him for safety up a
tree.
Evening Lecture.
"Mind In Animal Heroes," the subject
of the evening lecture, gave Mr. Seton
an opportunity to show that mentally
animals have many traits in common
with man. He defined a hero as "an In
dividual of unusual gifts or achieve
ments," adding, "provided he Is on our
side of the fight? Otherwise we call him
a "desperado," or some other hard term.
There Is only one exception to this, and
that is when we have conquered him
it is part of our self-exultation to mag
nify his strength In order to prove our
selves the greater victors. Before gun
powder was Invented the struggle be
tween man and brute was rather an
unequal one, with the odds in favor of
the brute. It Is the gun that has given
man his supremacy over the animal
world. Take this away from him, and
what man would venture to engage in
combat with a grizzly, or with a. gray
wolf? Yet this, and this only, Is fair
play.
And then Mr. Seton told several anec
dotes to prove that animals have both
Imagination and humor, that they rea
son logically, and that they learn by
experience. A bevy of quail, for ex
ample, whert alarmed, have learned to
fly up in quite a different way now from
their former way of rising. Instead of
keeping together In a dense group, they
scatter, so that a shot Is much less llkely
to take effect. This change has become
very noticeable in the Eastern states,
proving that they possess something
more than Instinct, the power to reason,
and learn by experience. The peculiar
little-comprehended powers of the hom
ing pigeon were then dwelt upon, and
it was shown that It one were taken from
New York to Philadelphia by a circuit
ous route, passing through Buffalo and
Pittsburg, and then let loose, he would
invariably return to New York, not by
the shorter route which still remained
to be passed over,, but by the longer
backward route.
Wahb, the Grizzly, who seemed to have
deliberately planned his own death by
suicide among the poisonous vapors of
Death Gulch, was then referred to, and
a fine photocraDh of him shown, lust
as he was found dead Ir. the gulch. Sev
eral very beautiful pictures of elk graz
ing in their native pastures were exhib
ited, one photograph showing 4000 elk. The
leader of the herd, Mr. Seton asserted.
was almost Invariably an eiaeny aoe.
often small In size, never except when
a fizht was on hand the big. strong bull
of the herd. At such moments th,e leader
ship was transferred from, the sagacious,
but physically weak doe. to the more
powerful buck. In the pictures he called
attention to this curious fact that the
antlered deer, 1. e., the males, were never
among those near the front. Many pho
tographs of great beauty and high ar
tistic merit, were thrown upon the can
vas, the work of a Pittsburg man. an
amateur in photography, who had invent
ed a camera with a shutter that would
act automatically with flashlight attach
ment. By setting these cameras near the
stream in which deer came to drink by
nlght he succeeded In catching some mar
vellous effects. Among these pictures was
one that took the first Drlze at the Par's
Exposition, a deer lust leaving the rushes
ot the stream, her head turned toward
the new moon visible in the West.
After enumerating a number of anec
dotes illustrative of wolf Intelligence and
dog traits, differences in the moral at
tributes of the greyhound, Danish mas
tiff and bull dog, he concluded with a
tragic" story of an old worn out., sick
South African Hon that committed suicide
by hurling himself from a precipice. This
was accompanied by a superb picture of
a lion's head that for animal grandeur
and splendid brute majesty will long- be
remembered by those who saw it.
Mr. Seton's lectures have been a. source
ot unusual enjoyment .to a ISrgejiumber
of Portland people, who7 In consequence,
have a lively feeling of gratitude to tho
members of the Woman's Club, under
whose auspices the lectures were given.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Cnrlons Result When Coffee Drink
ins i Abandoned.
It is almost as hard for an old coffee
toper to quit the use of coffee as It Is
for a whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum F,ood Coffee
without any feeling of a loss or the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is well
boiled and served with cream, it is r.eally
better In point of flavor than most of
the coffee served nowadays, and to the
taste of the connoisseur it Is -like the
flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place In
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee Is left off and postum Food
CoTtee used, for the reason that the pois
on to the nerves has been discontinued
and in its place is taken a liquid that
contains the most powerful elements or
nourishment.

Split hair, harah, hair, lusterless hair,
brittle halr falling hair, all owe their
origin to .dandruff, which is caused by a
measly little microbe that burrows Into
the scalp, throwing up the cuticle into
dandruff scales and sapping the vitality
of the hair at the root, causing1 the sev
eral diseased conditions of tne hair till
it finally falls out. Modern science na3
discovered a remedy to destroy the dan
