MB OHIO CONGRESSIONAL PARTY
TAKEJi OUT TO THE OCEAN.
Occasion Beartlly Enjoyed, Tjr .All
Incident of the Day Visitor
fT. Xenve lor Paget Sound.
The entertainment pf the Ohio and In
diana Congressional party by ,the busi
ness men and representative citizens of
Portland closed yesterday -with an ex
cursion -to Astoria and the ocean. The
trip was a delightful one, and the visit
ors expressed themselves as being' highly
pleased -with It. They left on the 11:30
train last night for Puget Sound, enthu
siastic over Oregon, Portland and the Co
lumbia Elver country.
The excursion left ,for Astoria yester
day morning at 8 o'clock, on the steamer
Bailey Gatzert, which was donated for
the occasion. A drizzling rain "was fait
lng "when the "boat pulled out, but before
long the .sun came out bright and "warm,
and shone inost of the day. Showers oc
curred at more or less frequent Intervals,
but never for a very long period, and
were not at a.lL disagreeable.
Tie Gatzert made the fastest time ever
made to Astoria against a flood tide. It
was lust 4 hours and 50 minutes from the
ifme it passed through the steel "bridge
until the gong sounded at the Astoria
wharf. From this must be deducted 25
minutes for a run of 2& hours against the
jflood tide, making the actual time 4 hours
and 25 minutes. It seemed that the boat
fairly flew through the water, and this
itself was one of, the pleasurable features
of the day's outing.
iJJpon the arrival at Astoria luncheon
was served an the dining-room of the Oc
cident Hotel. The room -was far too mall
Jo accommodate the large number of In
vited guests in addition to the Congres
sional -party itself. Those who sat down
with the visitors -were: Judge C. B. Bel
linger Miss Bellinger and Mrs. Knapp;
fionl Ttiomas1 fi. Tongue and daughters,
and Mrs. McCrakea; Judge George H.
Williams, and judges George, Sears and
Cleland, of the State Circuit Court;,Hon.
Solomon Hirsch, Mr. and Mrs,, H. L. Pit
tock, Ellis XJ, -Hughes,vMayor.H.'Sl.Rowe,
Governor T. T. Geep and Mrs. Geer, Hon.
John Barrett, H. W. Scott and Hon. Mal
colm A. Moody. '
Xuncheon was over Jjy 2 o'clock, and
then the party took the Astoria &, Co
lumbia River Railway to Fort Stevens.
Here Aatcars were in -waiting, and most
of the party promptly boarded them and
went out on the jetty. A stiff breeze was
blowing, - but -many of the ladies were
thoughtful -enough- to- take blankets from
the Pullman car with them. They
wrapped themselves In these, and pre
sented a picturesque appearance as the
wind flapped the blankets around. This
part of the excursion Vas especially en
joyable. Several of the guests enjoyed
themselves by speculating upon what
would happen if the flatcars should Jump
the track.1""
Returning to the main train, the party
was backed down through the grounds of
-Fort Stevens, where a short stop was
made. Then the return trip was made to
Astoria, which was reached shortly before
5 o'clock. Dinner was served, and the
special cars donated by the Astoria &
Columbia River Railway were attached
to the evening train, which left Astoria
jpr .Portland: at 6-10. The party arrived
here shortly before 10 o'clock last even
ing, and left an hour and a half later.
"T'he excursion was entirely informal.
Not a single speech was made during- the
uay, the entire party giving themselves
up to the unrestrained enjoyment of the
occasion. The Teceptlon committee proved
Itself equal to the occasion, the leading
spirits being A. J. Capron, H. M. Cake
and George Taj lor, Jr. About 200 people,
including leading state and Federal 'offi
cials, and representative b'uslness men of
Portland, accompanied the party.
The several members of Congress ex
pressed themselves one and all as being
comlnced of the urgent necessity of the
. improvement of the Columbia River, and
1tJs evident that their visit here will re
dound to the lasting good of this city and
state.

ALTERATIONS COST $9000.
Changing Fronts In Rig Buildings
Is Expensive "Work.
The changing of the fronts of the
Washington block, at-Third and Washing
ton, the most extensive and expensive Job
of the kind ever undertaken in Port
land, has been completed to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned. The work
has occupied 'longer than was t Intended
on account of -unavoidable delays, and
it is hard to tell who are the moBt
pleased with its completion,- the owners
of the building or the occupants of the
stores In it- The cost of the improve
ment amounts to about ?2Q00, and Will
iam Flledner and Edward Holman are
perfectly satisfied with the results of
their expenditure. The building was
erected in a massive style, with heavy
columns and buttresses, as If intended
to stand forever, but the requirements
of business soon rendered a glass front
necessary. The removal of the entire
fronts on Washington andFourth streets
was no small nor easy "job. Thomas
Walker, the contractor, states that not
less than 30,000 bricks were taken out,
mostly In pieces, and heavy cast-Iron
lintels removed, and their places -supplied
by Iron columns and steel girders.
This extensive work and the stagings
and timbers to support the heavy super
structure, which It was necessary to place
on -the sidewalk, called for patience and
-forbearance on the part of the public
and the occupants of the. stores, but every
effort was made by Mr. Walker to in
commode the public as little as possible,
much of the work being done at night,
and the job has been completed without
any trouble or friction.
Mr. Flledner was seea gazing admiring
ly on the new plate glass fronts jester
day and expressed .himself as thoroughly
satisfied with everything except the bent
glass in the corner, which he intends
to replace with a wider one as soon as
practicable. He says that although the
building is so heavy, the whole front
was removed and replaced without the
slightest sign of settling In any part, A
massi-e cast-Iron lintel, -a hlch the change
inthe front made too short, had to be
taken out, and -one a little longer put in
at a-cost of $500, the old one, which cost
about the same, selling for only a few
dollars as old iron. A week's delay In
the work was caused In a rather singular
manner. John Bingham, who was super
intending the work of putting In the new
pillars and steel trusses, was suddenly
called to the City of Wasco. Sherman
County, where a bank and department
store building In course of erection
showed signs of collapse. He took his
pulleys and other plant and hurried up
there, and after putting the building to
rights started back in a hurry. Unfor
tunately, a bridge was washed out on
the Columbia Southern Railway just at
that time, and his tools were delayed.
After waiting a week for them, he had to
buy new tools to go on with his work
on the "Washington block. The longest de
lay, however, was caused by the steel
girders, ordered from Pittsburg, going
astray on the road. It was impossible to
find any trace of them for a long time.
But now that the work Is completed
and the debris being cleared away, pro
prietors, shopkeepers, the contractors and
the public are all happy, and have forgot
ten ah the trouble and worry caused by
these delays, and the new glass front is
an ornament to the street.
Judge Frazer yesterday ordered findings
prepared in three divorce cases, with the
understanding that the decree in each
case will not be granted until the findings
have been submitted and signed by the
court. This Is a new mode of procedure
intended to compel attorneys to have
decrees In divorce suits properly entered
of record, which, in the past, has fre-v
quently not been done becauseattorneys
nave neglected to prepare and bring In
the findings as required. If the decree
Is not entered In the Journal, there Is
no divorce granted, notwithstanding the
announcement of the judge from the
bench that it has been allowed'.
The cass heard and disposed of yes
terday were as, follows:
Minnie Darrow against Nelson J. Dar
row, to whom she was marrle'd in Port
land in 1S92. She testified that he deserted
her in -November, 1S94. Mrs. Darrow asked
to be restored to her maiden name, Far
rell. '
Annie Scot against Walter Scott, also
on the ground of desertion. Mrs. Scott
testified that her husband abandoned her
In April, 1900. She' stated, also", that he
was addicted to the use of. intoxicating
liquors. They were married In this city
in 1894.
Birdie McKinstry accused her husband,
Frank C. McKinstry, of cruel treatment
and adultery. She named HalHejLyons as
co-defendant. She asked ,tok be restored
to her maiden .name, Slocumt They were
married at Oakland, Cal., In 1S97. - Mc
Kinstry filed a general denial, but Sid not
appear In court to defend the suit.
Xate in the afternoon the findings in
the Darrow and McKinstry cases were
file'd by the attorneys.
Postmasters by diligent soliciting were
able to dispose of large quantities of
stamps to persons not patrons of their
offices. A fourth-class Postmaster who
could arrange a sale of 52000 worth of
stamps could have his office advanced
to the third class.
This practice was generally resorted to
In suburban offices, which gave many of
them their present high rating. A third
class office, the annual receipts of which
do not 'exceed $2000, commands a. salary
of $1000 ior Its Postmaster. When the
receipts reach 52-400 his salary Is increased
$10$ and so on until an office which re
ports -total receipts of 5S000 pays the Post
master t500. The department is of the
opinion that this should no longer be
allowed! The recent order will no doubt
be regarded as a hardship by many Post
masters, but there Is every Indication
that it will be enforced.

Case to Prevent Issuing of "Warrants
Ready for Argument.
Bernstein & Cohen and M. L. Pipes, have
appeared as attorneyes for the. Board of
County Commissioners InUhe suit of A.
Tichner against County Clerk Hanley H.
Holmes, 4 to enjoin the issuance of war
rants for the payment of claims for sup
plies purchased where there was no con
tract. The Driscoll bill, passed Tjy the
last Legislature, provides that Warrants
for supplies unless there wasa contract,
are void even If In the hands of Innocent
third parties. The suit brought by Mr.
Tichner is to test the validity of the
law. He Is represented by District At
torney Chamberlain, who, In his official
capacity, must uphold the law. The Com
missioners passed the bills In controversy.
and their position is that the goods were
purchased on requisitions, because of
emergencies. Auditor Pope refused to
audit the claims, and the brokers said
they would not1' handle,, the warrants.
The District Attorney cannot appear on
both sides of the case, and as it is neces
sary that both sides shall be presented,
the Commissioners engaged the other law
yers mentioned. The arguments will be
made soon.
CONDENSED MILK IN DEMAND
Opening for Factory la Portlnnd
"TOho'll Start It?
There has been much talk first and last
about starting a factory for the manufac
ture of condensed milk in this city, and
one or more efforts have been made to
get one In operation; but 'so far without
success. The amount of condensed milk
or cream used In this section a few years
ago was comparatively small, but of late
it has Increased greatly, and now a tre
mendous amount of It Is handled here.
Every logging camp is supplied with It,
some using several cases a week. It is
also used at canneries and In all places
where numbers of men are employed, and
it is not practicable to obtain fresh milk.
An article manufactured somewhere In
Washington has about captured the mar
ket here to the exclusion of the Eastern
article. It answers all purposes, and is
much cheaper than the Eastern condensed
milk, and the cans are larger. Hereto
fore there was hardly a sufficient supply
of milk obtainable here to justify any
one In putting up a factory for condens
ing It, but now there Is a large supply of
milk available, and it is likely to become
larger every year. Portland procures sup
plies of milk by boat and rail from many
sections, and this city Is the proper place
for locating a factory for making con
densed milk, and such a concern Is needed
here at once. The market for condensed
milk is rapidly increasing, and the enter
prise, if properly conducted, would prove
profitable from the start.
PRINTING PLANT ATTACHED.
L. Haynes Sued by His "Wife,
Ljdla, for $2455.
Lydla Haynes has sued her husband, C.
L. Haynes, In the State Circuit Court
to recover $1055 money lent, and 5700 each
on two promissory notes. The Sheriff at
tached a printing plant, an optical parlor,
and a piano. Mrs. Hayne3 alleges that she
wanted security In December, 1S0Q, to
show her parents how she had Invested
her money, and Haynes promised to give
it to her, but only tendered his note for
51400. He promised to pay her, she states,
but did not do so.
In April last Mrs. Haynes sued her
husband for a divorce, the papers being
filed In Columbia' County. J. A. Strow
brldge, Jr., was engaged as her attorney,
and yesterday the Commercial Co., as as
signee for Strowbrldge, commenced an
action In the State Circuit Court against
Mrs. Haynes for $175 fees for legal serv
ices. Of this sum, $100 is for service's perr
formed in the divorce proceedings, and $75
for preparing legal documents. The sheriff
was Instructed to attach four lots Jn
Brown's Addition, and two lots at Mid
way. A. Walter Wolfe represents the
Commercial Co as counsel, and Henry E.
McGinn is now Mrs. Haynes' attorney.

The suit of Carlo Togmottl against
GlorgI and Roslna Mazzei, to recover $300
damages, was dismissed by Judge Frazer t
yesterday on motion of plaintiffs attor
ney. Tognlottl complained that In Octo
ber, 1900, he cut his thumb and the Maz
zcls treated It for him with carbolic acid,
causing olood poisoning to set In, and he
was compelled to have the member am
putated. Counsel for the defendants de
murred to the Complaint on the ground
that facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action were not stated, and recently
Judge Sears sustained the demurrer.
'Between M0 and 300 carpenters assem
bled last evening at the Eagles' Hall to
listen to speeches made in favor of or
ganization, and much enthusiasm was
manifested. During a recess many slg
natures were added to the membership
roll of the Carpenters Union.
Vice-President Ernest Miller, of the
union-, presided, and called on the speak
ers, who were mostly city tradesmen. P.
J. Crowley was -the first. He expressed
gratification at the large assembly gath
ered In the interest of the labor move
ments Although a machinist by trade, he
Is -a union man, and had always affiliated
with the craft He referred to the little
trouble and vexation the machinists of
the city are now undergoing in their
struggle for better conditions. He
thought no men worked harder and were
poorer paid In the United States than ma
chinists, and ascribed the reason to lack
of organization. He hoped, however, to
see all craftsmen united in one organiza
tion, when they, as one man, could dic
tate terms to J. Pr Morgan, Rockefeller
and the trust magnates. He related a
dream In which he saw crowds of men,
women and children begging work from
the favored few, and thought this condi
tion would prevail until worklngmen all
profit by organization.
R. "Deamon spoke of the' advantage of
organization in England, and advised the
grading of carpenters according to their
ability. He did not blame contractors for
getting men at $1 a day if they could,
but he blamed the men who worked for
$la day.
J. B. Osborne, a blind man, who was
formerly a painter, said he lost the sight
of , one eye looking for work under Cleve
land's Administration, and the other hunt
ing employment under McKlnley. Car
penters should not be Democrats. Repub
licans, Prohibitionists or Socialists In this
movement, but should work In unison to
protect themselves and their families
J. T. Morgan gave several reasons why
worklngmen should unite, and spoke of
the good already accomplished by labor
organizations. "In 1825." he said, '12
hours constituted a day's labor for arti
sans, and 13 to 15 hours In factories.
Labor organizations and strikes have re
duced these hours in 16 states to 10 hours,
In three others to nine hours. In seven
others to eight hours, while, the Federal
Government recognizes the eight-hour day
in all Its departments. Organizations of
labor have brought all these changes
about. They have mitigated the exaction
of child labor, made safer places for toll
ers to work In, they Improved the sanitary
condition of factories, rendered machin
ery safer to work with, given us the Aus
tralian ballot, and averted tyranny by
their show of strength on many occa
sions "
Miss Lena Morrow was the only wo
man present, and she was called on for
a few remarks, which she devoted to
explaining the occult meaning of the let
ters forming the" word Union. "The U
means protection." she said, "the N
mastery of details: the I male strength:
the O,. great possibilities: the whole word
suggests that labor is entitled to Its own."
J. D. Stevens spoke, of the failure of
strikes in Eastern cities being due to
lack of unity in the workers, and favors
city, state. National and International
federation In order that labor should ob
tain the wealth it creates.
A .Seattle man spoke of the Carpen
ters' Union In his city, being composed
of 700 members, and of the National Union
being In force In 1S9 cities of the country.
He favors the formation of a Building
Trades' Union for protection of all the

The lecture by Hon. J. F. Caples, on
"Chile," at Taylor-Street Church, -on
Tuesday evening, was a delightful enter
tainment, as well as an Interesting and
instructive lecture. The speaker nar
rated his experiences and observations
during the -four years which he has just
completed as United States Consul at Val
paraiso, punctuating the lecture by fre
quent flashes of wit or humorous story.
He said in closing that his observations
led him to believe that the Spanish cus
toms and manners, which are so radically
different from those of the United States,
both In the social and political life of
these Southern republics, must gradually
be supplanted by the Anglo-American tjpe
of civilization, and that he expected to see
their present forms of government so
modified that eventually they will all be
come states of the great American Re
public, under the Stars and Stripes of the
United States, which he hoped would some
day wave over the entire Western conti
nent, from the Arctic Ocean on the north,
to the Antarctic continent on the South.
About 200 people gathered at A. O. U.
W. Hall last evening tb attend the meet
ing of the Law Enforcement League, at
which 'addresses we"re made by severaPof
the men who have been" most active In
the work. "Dr. Morrison, vice-president
of the league, called the meeting to order
and announced that in the absence jpt
Mr. Scott, who was assisting in the wel
come to- the Ohio delegation, he would
preside. A letter from George H. Will
lams was read, In which the latter stated
that he was necessarily absent, yet was
In full accord with the plans of the Law
Enforcement League. Dr. Morrison then
stated the objects of the meeting, saying
that It had been called because the ad
visory board feltrthe public had thetrlght
to know some -things of gambling Irt this
city, and that It was proposed to-, initi
ate other methods of suppressing gam
bling. 'Rev. Dr. Lord ..was the first speaker.
He J said that a move must be made In
this direction. In yiew of all the -fa.cts,
which he named, as follows: First, ..every
one 'confesses that public gambling Is
going on unmolested by officers of .the
law; second, that a law calling this a
crime is on the statute-bpoksT third,, this
law Is not unusual, as It is the law-of
civilized countries; fourth, the law can
be enforced with reasonable efficiency;
fifth, the great niajorlty of the people of
Portland are In "favor of the enforcement
ofs the law; sixth, this society (meaning
the league) Is the organized will of the
people; seventh, Portland's moral, social,
political and business welfare are In
volved; eighth, no man would barter his
children's future for eer so-much money.
Thomas N. Strong followed, and divided
crlm'elnto two classes gilded and pauper
crlnie He placed gambling, social, 'im
purity and the llduor traffic In therlatter
class. . He told something of what he
knew of gambling and other vices,- and
declared that the Chle.f, District Attor
ney and Commissioners want the fight
abandoned. - ' -
"Some of the thlpgs I will say are going
to hurt some of the people," were the
first words of Dr. Wise, who read a-letter
from R. Livingstone, "who regretted that
he could not be present, and stated that
If the Police Commission can stop gam-'
bllng, some, explanation Is due from them
to the public of the course they are pur
suing. "We have heard much of Infringement
of personal liberty," continued Dr. Wise,
"but is It an infringement because we are
trying to save some young men from go
ing down? We are ndt killing, business,
but we. will not have Portland disgraced
by that cowardly band. George E. Cham
berlain, the District Attorney, told us he
could have made lots of money by saying
nothing, and do you call it the act of a
gentleman, as a gambler Is said to be, ,to
try to bribe? If one man had courage. I
could show you wrere a juror was ap
proached before the trial of one of the
gambling cases. I want to remind you of
the promise of the Chief of Police 'and the
Commissioners to close gambling. They
are putting themselves, justly or unjust
ly, under a terrible suspicion."
Dr. Morrison made the concluding ad
dress, with a reylewfof the work, of the
committee, which first went to see the
Commissioners and the Chief of Police in
regard to having gambling repressed, and
told of the trials, in which he declared
one of the police captains displayed a
most childish Indifference.
"What are the results?" he continued.
"Here. Is a list of phacea where there was
open gambling lastnlght, and theCe.may
be tonight: Gus & Scott, Gem, Portland
Club, Blazler's. South and North, De Mar
tini, Fritz, and Erlckson. The authorities
tell us they don't know about It, they
can't get evidence or can'tconvlct. If
the former, they ought to be thrown out
of office; If the latter, they are dishonest.
We are going to stay as" long as?there Is
any gambling going on, In the interests of
our homes."

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"The Shnnghrann" at Cordray's Tonight.
Tonight, Friday night and at the Sat
urday matinee, "The Shaughraun" -will be
presented at Cordray's by Charles Erin
Verner. The play Is one of the best
of Bouclcault's' dramas, and as there
has been an unusual demand for seats It
Is expected the house will be crowded. .
REFORMS OPIUM FIENDS.
Charitable Work In" Which.
, County Is Engrngeil.
the
'Among the steadiest boarders at the
county Jail are the confirmed opium
fiends, who are sent up on long sentences
to be weaned from the drug. They enter
the jail wan and cadaverous, In the last
stages of Imbecility, and, after 60 or 90
days, come out plump and In perfect
health, resolving to let opium alone in
future. It takes about two months to
bring them back to their former stages
of weakness, as in the meantime they de
vote their liberty to rustling for the drug.
Archie .Ray, a confirmed fiend, was sent
up yesterday from the Municipal Court for
125 days. He will again be subjected to
the heroic treatment that shuts off the
drug at once, and will probably suffer the
pangs of extreme torture for a few days,
when he will again be broken of the habit
and put on the road to recovery. .There Is
always a goodly contingent of opium
fiends in Jailer Mitchell's charge.
"Sag Harbor."
There is something in the peculiar at
mosphere and characterization of a Hearne
play that makes one of them any one of
them a singularly grateful theatrical of
fering. Indeed, a Hearne play Is a good
deal like a Dickens story, anyway, and
the story of "Sag Harbor" has strong re
semblance in many ways to the famous
novelist's incomparably tender romance
of the sea which centers about Little
Em'ly, in "David Copperfield." One of
the most-read New Tork critics described
the characterization In Hearne's latest play
In the following words: "Dickens himself
never drew finer character sketches than
has James A. Hearne In "Sag Harbor.' "
The analogy might be carried further;
there Is the same strong swash of the
sea in the background, and the rugged
t-pes of seafaring character have the
same touch of qualntroess and the homely
nobility of character.
The cast which will present "Sag Har
bor" at the Marquam Grand on Thursday,
May SO, will be the same as that which
has created the wide fame of this Idyl
lic play of American life and character,
and the production In Its entirely will be
Identically the same as that which evoked
such enthusiastic comment In New York
City. "Sag Harbor" will be In Portland
for three nlglfts and a Saturday mati
nee. V
.Bicyclist's Protest. .
PORTLAND, May 22. (To the Editor.)
I would like to put In a word for our
bicycle riders. Our police and Police
Judge are of' late getting so severe that
I think It time some one was putting
in a word for riders. I for one would
like to know why thousands of dollars
of our money Is spent on cow paths outside-
of the city, while boys and girls
working for $12 or $15 per month,
compelled by the horrible condition of
streets to take, the sidewalks for .a few
blocks, are arrested and fined. In North
Portland, I suppose there are 4Qfr or E00
riders at least, and most of them, only
ride to andrrom their dally toll and there I
Is not a street fit to ride on from Sixth
to Twenty-second, and most of the time
when, they would leave the sidewalk to
get to a paved street, the sidewalks have
very few, if any, persons on them. Our
city fathers seem to -think they have to
pass ordinances against the many and
In "favor of 'the few, and compej riders
to pay car fare or walk. Why could not
one side say of every other street be
open for-rlders, to save expense of paths
and give "the riders some show. The
next thing riders will have to do will
be to take their votes from these moss
backs and put them where they will tell
fori the right. Respectfully,

HARD ON POSTMASTERS.
New Ruling ot Department Will Cut
Down Some Salaries.
WASHINGTON, May 18. An order of
the Postofiice Department, Issued by the
First Assistant Postmaster-General, will
undoubtedly cut down the salaries of a
large number of Postmasters In small of
fices. The order referred to prescribes a
penalty for encouraging the purchase of
stamps and postal cards by outside people.
It has been the custom of Postmasters
In small offices, especially those located
near large cities, to solicit sales of stamps
and other supplies among business men
of the neighboring- cities. Inasmuch as the
compensation of-fourthrclass Postmasters
depends upon the amount, of cancellation
on-the value of stamps' sold, energetic

Harry Corson Clarke's New Play.
Good houses have greeted Harry Corson
Clarke during his entire season. This
season he Is appearing in a new farce
of the proper-name variety, entitled
"What Did Tompkins Do?" In It Mr.
Clarke returns to the style of character
in which lie first gained prominence, viz.,
old men's parts. The farce Is written
around an aged financier who has sporting
tendencies, but who curiously enough has
a son of opposite characteristics. The
son has been christened under his fath
er's name, and consequently the two are
being constantly confused In the minds
of people. This gives rl3e to some ludi
crous situations, especially when the mod
est son gets charged with his father's hf
larlous performances. The piece is farci
cal, but It Is of the higher class, and,
like the Broadhurst productions, is ex
tremely clean. Mr. Clarke has an aver
sion for the modern "Frenchy" tendency
In comedy, and will not be seen In any
thing that smacks of It. His success in
"Jones," a play that contains not one In
delicate line, has strengthened him In this
resolve. Mr. Clarke has made a fortune
during his three seasons with "Jones"
and he says he retires It with regret, al
though he is certain that his new piece
wlll'be an even greater hit. Mr. Clarke
will be seen at Cordray's the week begin
ning. Sunday night.
