ADOPTED BY MILLMEXS UAIOX.
Resolutions Condemning;'' Anarch. 1st
r Doctrines and Anarchists.
At the meeting of the Mlllmen's Union
of Portland yesterday afternoon, the fol
lowing resolutions on the assassination of
President McKinley "were unanimously
adopted:
"Whereas, On Friday, the Cth day of the pres
ent month, in the City of Buffalo, in the State
of New Tork, one Leon Czolgosz made a most
.dastardly assault on William McKinley, Presi
dent of the United States, with intent then
and there to take his life by discharging- into
his person two bullets from a pistol, and there
by inflicted upon him two wounds, one of which
was mortal,
"Whereas, From the said wounds so inflicted
upon him, the said "William McKinley lan
. finished in pain and agony till the 14th day of
the present month, when he died as a result of
the said wounds,
4 "Whereas, in the death of President McKin
ley our country has lost one of its most emi
nent citizens, our Nation one of its most dls
tlnculshcd statesmen, and our great Republic
.Its Chief Magistrate, an exalted position to
which he had been twice elected by our people;
"Whereas, In the manner of bis taking off a
roost shocking crime was committed, and a
tragedy enacted, which startled the -whole
I civilized world.
Therefore, as the sensa of the members of
Ibis union, in regular meeting assembled, Be
Jt resoH'od as follows:
First That, in common with our fellow-cltlr
sens generally throughout the length and
breadth of the land, we sincerely deplore the
commission ot the offense by which President
McKinley was so ruthlessly removed from the
ranks of the living, and we deeply regret that
anywhere upon American soil one should have
be m born so dead to the ordinary filings of
humanity as to be capable of so foul and so
bloody a deed.
Second That we hereby denounce the said
assault upon and killing of President McKin
ley as a fiendish murder of the blackest dye,
as a villainous exhibition of moral turpitude,
at which honest manhood stands insulted and
a; .palled, as a premeditated display of cold
blooded Infamy that could have been attempted
only by a demon in human form, as an au
dacious outrage, unaccompanied by a single
circumstance tending to mitigate Its atrocity
or retrieve it from abhorrence, an outrage
Rhich, together with its perpetrator, should be
lit Id in everlasting execration by all mankind.
Third That when we consider the sudden
ness with which the President was so cause
lessly struck down, while in good health,
while yet in the glory of a vigorous, robust
and mature manhood, and while in the full
enjoyment of high civic honors, which had come
to him as a result of a 'long and Illustrious
career in the public service of our country,
both state and National; when we pause to
c insider these things, and many others as
sijciated wKh them, we are strongly of the
onvictlon, assuming the sanity of the man by
whose rash act the President was so unhappily
plain, that no punishment which the law may
prescribe can more than measure up to the
remorseless brutality of the deed or the treach
erous malevolence marking the mode of Its
execution.
Fourth That in our opinion it is the duty
ot all law-abiding citizens to Join in every
laudable effort to build up and maintain such
a universal and ali-pervadmg public senti
ment against such venomous outbreaks of
malignity aa will hereafter hold la restraint

every mind wicked enough to resolve upon and
stay every hand vicious enough to perform
such acts of violence and disorder.
Fifth That with these feelings, this opinion
and these motives we hereby most cheerfully
contribute our share of effort toward the up
building and maintenance of the sound, healthy
and ennobling public sentiment herein above
declared for; and we do so In the hope that
our country may never again be called upon
to record its condemnation of a murderous as
sault upon any of its trusted public servants
by a red-handed assassin.
EXCLUDE THE ANARCHISTS.
Remedy for Assassination In in Con
frrensioiiaI Action.
At a well-attended meeting of Sumner
Post. No. 12, G. A. R., Saturday nlsrht,
the death of President McKinley was the
subject of discussion. Many short ad
dresses were made by members of the
I post and visitors. It was the consensus of
opinion rnat congress should enact effect
ive exclusion laws. John E. Mayo made
a strong appeal for Congressional enact
ment for exclusion of foreign anarchists.
Remarks along this line were made by
Professor M. L. Pratt and others. The
following resolutions were then passed
unanimously:
"Whereas, Comrade William McKinley, Pres
ident of the United States, has been stricken
down by the hand of an assassin, leaving
a Nation to mourn the loss.
Resolved, That in the death of his Excel
lency. "William McKinley, the Nation has
lost one of its most able executives, the
people a sympathetic helper, and the Grand
Army of the Republic a true, noble and
patriotic comrade.
Resolved, That In this loss we see the great
necessity of encouraging purity in public af
fairs, of the administration of justice to those
who violate the laws in whatever form, or
under whatever circumstances, whether it be
the assassin who lurks in the dark alley with
a drawn dagger, or the person in high life
under the guide of business methods.
Resolved, That this loss admonishes us to
prize American citizenship more highly, to
make its attainment more difficult to aliens
who seek our shores, and to forever exclude
those who have not In their hearts the true
principles of Americanism when making their
application at the gates of Castle Garden.
Resolved. That we condemn anarchy In
whatever form It may appear, as dangerous
to human life, to society and to those princi
ples which were bequeathed to us by our fore
fathers, and that it is our duty to guard by
the elective franchise every avenue of ap
proach to our National life, and to those who
have the same In keeping.
Resolved, That while we realize how vain
are any words of ours to take away, even In
the smallest degree, one pang of grief from
the heart of the true, devoted wife, yet we
extend to her .as comrades, and as citizens
of this great Nation, that sympathy which Is
innate la the human heart, and which goes out
to her in this, the hour of her greatest be
reavement. Services In Catholic Churches.
In conformity with the proclamation of
President Roosevelt' naming Thursday as
a day of prayer, solemn high mass will be
celebrated In St. Mary's Cathedral and

FAVORS EXTRA SESSION
COMMISSIONER YOUNG OX THE
LEWIS AND CLARK FAIR.
Special Session of Legislature Sng
sestcd for the Purpose of nn Ap
propriation of $1,000,000.
Edward Everett Young, editor of the
oZ.SSrfiHOW THE MOSQUITO WORKS
fair, thinks the state should assist the
exposition to the extent of $1,000,000, and
that Governor Geer should call an extra
session of the Legislature to deal with the
subject He has addressed a circular let-
ter to members of the Legislature asking j
their opinions on the proposal to hold a
special session. It follows:
My Dear Sir: As a member of the last
Oregon Legislature, your opinion Is solicited In
a matter of vital Importance to our state.
The state Is now committed to the project of
a Lowls and Clark Centennial and American
.caclfic Exposition to occur in 1005.
Being one of the Oregon Commissioners,
and representing in large part that vast
undeveloped territory lying east of the Cas
cades, I am deeply Interested in the ultimate
success of this momentous enterprise. To
insure this, it appears that an extra session
of the Oregon Legislature may be necessary
to secure adequate state recognition In time
to l-.duce other states to "get in line" and roll
up a sum for this purpose which will justify
asking Congress" for an amount sufficient to
crown the enterprise with a large success.
Please read the accompanying extract and
kindly express to us your views on this matter
for publication. Hoping to have your hearty,
non-partisan, political support In this move
for our great state ahd the Northwest, I am,
with respect, Faithfully yours,
EDWARD EVERETT YOUNG.
The extract to which Mt. Young refers
is appended:
"When we remember that in tho ordinary
course of events It will be nearly two -jears
before an appropriation can be made, which
will be too late to Induce other states to
make suitable appropriations to augment the
fund necessary, the seriousness of the situa
tion begins to dawn upon us.
It should be remembered that when rep
resentatives of the proposed St. Louis fair
first asked Government aid at Washington,
they were substantially requested to return
to St. Louis and ascertain how much that city
and the State of Missouri would pledge for the
proposed enterprise. This ascertained, they
were requested to report back to Congress,
with the assurance that a measure appropri
ating half the sum raised bySC Louis and
Missouri would be favored byi proper com
mittee. For two years these aggressive. Intelligent
statesmen and captains of Industry labored
night and day for subscriptions, and after two
years' work appeared again in Washington
with $10,000,000 absolutely secured. The Gov
ernment kejjt Its word and voted $5,000,000
to the enterprise. The State of Missouri fur-
eo- --
MQIfiKS'' TtStm 'SSHH
OtMttttMttttMO.tttttttUtflHIOtCMttOOMMOOttttDB
ther voted $1,000,000 for a state building and
state exhibit, so that the total fund now at
the command of the directors of the great
St. Louis fair Is $17,000,000. Supplement this
with the enormous sums to be expended by
foreign governments and some faint conception
of the extent of this enterprise will dawn upon
the minds of the readers.
St Louis offers an object lesson to Oregon
which should be utilized to great advantage.
I believe that Governor Geer should call an
extra session of "the Legislature for the pur
pose of deciding whether Oregon shall Issue
bonds for the Lewis and Clark Centennial
and the American Pacific Exposition. In my
humble opinion a failure to do this will mili
tate against the success of the fair In its early
conception and will jeopardize Its prpstlge'ln
the world's contests of this kind.
I believe that Oregon should Jssue at least
Sl.000,000 in bonds for this enterprise, riii
nlng either 20 or 40 years and bearing not
moro than 5 per cent interest. Inasmuch as
St. Louis raised $5,000,000 and is a city of
about 000,000 people, the City of Portland,
where the fair is to be held, should raise at'
least $1,000,000 as a corporation. With

raise at least $1,000,000 from other North

This would give only 5,000,000. and It would
take strong pressure and proper diplomacy
brought to bear at Washington to get an ap
propriation of an equal amount. With less
tnan ?10,OCO,C00 as a working capital, it is
hardly worth while to attempt the celebra
tion contemplated In 1005. It Is a matter of
speculation how muqh money might be raised
in the states through- which the Lewis and
Clark expedition passed on Its way to the
Columbia River basin. If the amount could
'je eked out In some way to $15,000,000, we

Bill Is n Snrjrlcnl Case Filled
With the Finest Tools.
So much has been said about the mos-
" ? llZ?T
tho statement that it disseminates the
mlcrobes of malarial fever, yellow fever
and other diseases, that a short descrip
tion of the wonderful set of tools with
which It wqrks will be interesting to
many. The prevalent idea Is that the
mosquito has a "bill" which it pushes
through the skins of its victims, and
through which it sucks their blood. This,
however, gives only a faint and imper
fect idea of the apparatus used by the
mosquito In , securing its daily bread, or
rather blood.
The so-called bill of the mosquito,
though tine as the finest needle, is aSeg
ular surgical Instrument case, containing
six line instruments, which fold into it
lengthwise. The idea that the mosquito
pierces the skin with Its bill is a delu
sion. Such an effort is, beyond the power
of a small Insect, like, the mosquito. When
a mosquito wiDhes to dine it knows that
it has six thicknesses of skin to plerc?
and no time to waste if It would succeed
without being disturbed. First a lance
Is used to make an incision in the tough
outer skin. Through this a saw is start
ed. This saw Is scimitar-shaped, witn
teeth on its outer edge. Its object is to
lengthen the cut to make room for a
larger saw to be vsed. This larger saw
has teeth on both sides. Its point is
finer than any needle's, and it Is thick and
strong down through the center. The mos
quito works this saw like a man .cutting
Ice, having a set of ropes and pulleys in
its head. There are two of these saws
in qase one should break. It keeps on
going down till blood is struck, when the
saw is withdrawn and a pump Inserted,
and then the mosquito begins to reap the
reward of its labors. It pumps away, it
not disturbed, till as full as it can hold.
Tho blood acts as an intoxicant and, when
too much is "swallowed," often caufacs
death.
When iilled to repletion, or before if it
Is likely to be disturbed, the mosquito
inserts in the wound it has made a tube
connected with a large poison gland, and
by way of thanks and as a sort of grace
alter meat, squirts a dose of poison into
its bleeding victim which serves to keep

As the mosquito has to work with great
rapidity while taking its meals. It has
not time to wipe the numerous tools used
before returning them to its Instrument
case, and so malaria or other microbes
stick to the lance, saws, pump or poison
tube, and the next person bled Is lnnocu

FOR OLD AND SUFFERING
MT. ST. JOSEPH HOME DEDICATED
BY ARCHBISHOP CHRISTIE.
Address by Mnyov Rovre, "Who Pnirt n.
Beautiful Trlbnte to Presi
dent McKinley.
Mount St. Joseph Home for the Aged,
on East Thirtieth street, was dedicated
yesterday by Archbishop Christie, in the
presence of 1500 persons. Those present in
cluded: Archbishop Christie, Right Rev.
E. J. O'Dea. bishop ot Washington; Right
Rev. Monsignore Blanchet, V. G., of St.
Vincent's Hoppltal; Rv. Fathers Gigney,
Hbgan, Hughes, Black, O'Reilly, Verwll

and William; the Sisters of St. Vincent's
Hospital, Sisters of the Precious Blood,
Sisters of the Holy Name, Sisters of
Mercy and Sisters of St. Dominic, Mayor
and Mrs. Rowe, General Burke, Major
Murphy.
The music was under the direction of
J. Adrian Epping, and the choir consisted
of: Miss Kathleen Lawler, Miss Neal,
Miss Connelly, Miss McEntee, Miss Nelly
McEntee, Mrs. AValter Reed, Mrs. Matz,
Miss Hurley, Miss Slatter, Miss Cass, Mr.
Zan. Mr. McCormack, Mr. Coffey, Mr.
Barff, Mr. Carr, Mr. Klosterman, Mr. Bel
cher. Mr! Brault and Mr. Morris. Mrs.
Agatha Kelly was organist. The musical
selections of the choir Included: "Gloria"
and "Sanctus," from Mozart's 12th mass;

solo, "Salutarls," by Mr. Epping, and
"Tantum Ergo," by a quartet, Miss Kath.
leen Lawler, Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Belcher and
Mr. Epping. The singing of the choir was
much enjoyed, and one of the best num
bers was Mr. Epplng's fine declamation of
"Thus Saith the Lord."
Rev. Father Black was master of cere
monies. There was a solemn hush as a
long procession of white-robed altar-boys
and clergy slowly walked from the main
doorway into the sunshine and began the
ritual appropriate to the occasion. The
prccessipn wended its way around the
building, and then Archbishop Christie
and Bishop O'Dea, attended by clergy,
took their places on the broad veranda
facing the crowd. Mayor Rowe was the
first speaker. He said:
Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of being
present at the, formal dedication by the Catho
lic church of a magnificent school an Insti
tution that will prepare the young for life's
duties. It will seek to weed out the visionary
theories which lead to failure and to sup
plant them with an understanding of the ne
cessity of patient toll, strict economy, sound
morality and Christian faith.
Today It Is my privilege to be with you
again and to witness the same earnest en
deavor, the same Catholic zeal In founding
an Institution to be maintained by the large
ness of your love, and to which you will In
vite those upon whom the snows of af
fliction have fallen, those who have failed
and have little hope, all who are weighted
down bv misery penury and age. Here you
will give them a home, a peaceful anchor
age from the storms, a day ot rest, with
time to meditate and prepare for eternity. I
can think of no broader field for humanitarian
effort. I have learned that a slnglo order
of .this church has established about 300 homes
of this character, and that about 30.000 In
mates are cared for In them. Every one must
feel and apnreclate the beneficent character
of such bospltals, where an all-embracing love
for humankind will make no distinction for
race or crerd.
Ono cannot visit a city and pass through
the crowded marts of trade without observing
tho many wrecks that are stranded by the
way. Lost' youth, lost strength, lost hope and
lost faith mark all with their Indelible touch,
and these are but the stragglers of the greater
army In offices, factories, sweatshops yes. In
places of crime. My friends, when we con
sider tho magnitude of charity like this,
the liberalism of such devotion and the sub
lime heroism which It inspires, wo compre
hend more fully the advantages of our Chris
tian civilization, ii should broaden our sym
pathies and Impress us with our duties In
sharing In the support ot those hospitals.
"We cannot come In touch with such work and
In communion with Its principles without feel
ing a mere abiding faith In the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of man.
I cannot imagine a more suitable or con
venient location than this. We can look into
the future and In a way anticipate the fam
ily of unfortunates you will shelter here.
There will be those who have had opportuni
ties and noble ambitions, those who have ex
perienced happiness and fought valiantly.
Every class will have Its representatives.
Every fond hope, ever- cherished desire, will
be But a remembrance to those who enter
here. But .nmld It all the tender mercy ot
those who will minister to their wants will
;noi. do iorgouen.. Aiier an, xo nave laucu
! may not be failure, nor succeeding be suc
cess," irom any uut an eanniy- stanaara.
Every day here will be a day of thanksgiving
for the sweet charity administered, as It will
be a day of better preparation and greater
hope for the Immortal life to which we are
drifting.
I cannot let this opportunity pass without
referring to the National sorrow which to
day rests upon our people a sorrow which
time alone can alleviate. The only sure pro
tection against repetitions of the' same must
be the education of our people, tempered and
purified by Christian faith a faith which finds
expression in uplifting the. sacredness of the
family, In veneration of the aged and obedi
ence to law. It 13 Indeed a melancholy fact
that the history of human liberty and Chris
tian civilization is written In adversity and
sacrifice. The lives, tho sacrifices, the sor-
rows attending the ' ueatn of King Humbert
of Italy, of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, ot
President Carnot of France, and of our own
loved Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley, are all
a part of the history of liberty and of the
cherished sorrows of nations. President Mc
Kinley was brave, noble, loving these ex
press the best virtues of men. Amid the vol
umes ofl praise that will be spoken of him
and which his life has deserved, I am pleased
to say that nothing more appropriate will be
said than the utterances of Archbishop Ire-
MEIER & FRANK COMPANY
peace during the late war. The words of
tho archbishop were as follows: "Having bid
den us to thank God for our victories, the
President of the United States bids us pray
that peace may come. The chieftain of Amer
ica prays for peace, and bids the people pray
for peace. Magnanimous McKinley, worthy
chieftain of a great people! Victory should
tempt to further warfare a selfish, an ambi
tious ruler. Our President pauses, when vic
tory Is gaining, for the honor of the Nation is
saved, the purposes of the war aro secured,
and continued warfare is but the play of
pride and of brutal power. This Is McKinley's
honor he courted peace before war. When
his purposes are served, his heart speaks out
Its first love peace." Today the great heart
of the world's humanity throbs in sympathy
with our sorrowing people, and all Chris
tendom prays that the peace he loved shall be
his throughout eternity. (Applause.)
Bishop O'Dea said It is rearkable that
in 1900 years human nature has not
changed one iota, suffering, pain, and
works calling for charity and mercy are
still with the world. "It was not until
Christ came into the world that it had
such an institution as this," he said.
"It was not until Christ proclaimed to
the pagan world his doctrine of humani
ty that such a building as a hospital or
a home for the aged, became known.
Although paganism had a great philoso
phy when art and science reached a high
plane, there was no place in it for the
love of humanity. It was only when
Christ came that the world learned the
first and greatest commandment to love
God first, and to love your fellow-man for
the love of God. Men began to realize
a grand fellowship, of which Christ was
the head. Then hospitals began to spring
up over the Christian world. Today we
see asylums for the poor, homes for the
aged. The church of the living God says
to her sisters of charity: 'Wherever you
find a soul In need or want, you find a
brother who Is deserving of the charity
you have learned from me.' As brethren
throughout the world, we pray for the
sweet doctrine of charity."
The bishop referred to the triumphs of
teachers who have taugtyt the blind
to
read, tho dumb to talk by means of their
finge'rs, and spoke of the works of chari
ty and mercy by the Catholic church In
all ages. "To non-Catholic brethren I
would say," he continued, "that we may
differ In our rellcious belief, yet we
stand united on a common platform of
brotherly love wbere we relieve humanity
wherever we find It. Let us stand united

People Generally Are Glad to
Over the "Vncatlon Season.
Get
Nearly everybody who was lucky
enough to get away for a Summer outing
has returned, and now the Summer girls
and Summer boys are comparing notes
and contrasting the delights of camping
out, sojourning at the coast or springs,
hotel life, private boarding, etc. Strange
to say, the principal thing discussed and
the one to which the most Importance
seems to be attached, is the bill of fare
provided at the different places of resort.
At some places It appears that there was
plenty of everything on the table, but
the style of cooking and serving was not
up to the mark. At other places the
food was always brought to table ln
such small portions that one was
prompted to eat everything set before him
for fear he would not get enough, and so
ate t'aincs he did not like and did not
want. The style of putting everything on
the table at once, and plenty of it, and al
lowing the guests to select what they
prefer meets with most general approval.
One is not likely to overindulgence In a
diet of clams, crabs or fish at the seaside
resorts, judging from reports. A few
places where a second serving of anything
from bread or potatoes to cake cannot be
obtained, and where hosts and waiters be-
I ng one and the same are alike rude and
disobllging, are put on the blacklists of
nil. One young man is heard of to whom
a friend remarked: "What! just back
f roni your vacation? Why, man, you look
half dead." "I was boarding at a place
where they treated me like one of the
family," was the reply. Change of scene
and air, and getting away from work and
worry are beneficial to most people,
and a change of diet is good once in a

getting back home Is generally the most
pleasant and beneficial feature of an out

People of Brooklyn District to Dis
cuss the Proposed Sewer.
A mass meeting of property-owners in
the proposed Brooklyn sewer system will
be held this evening In the halL on the
corner ot Mllwaukle and Powell streets.
It Is expected that tho committee ap
pointed to gather data, as to cost?, route
and extent of territory, will report?. Wal
demar Seton, chairman of the commit
tee, says he has devoted considerable time
to Vhe subject. Only estimates of cost
can be given, he says, but the cost of
other sewers on the East Side will fur
nish a fair index of the cost in Brook
lyn district. The sewer will serve a
larger district than any sewer yet? built
In Portland and will cost the most In uo
aggregate, but as far as the property
owners are concerned It Is said that the
cost per lot will be less than the coat per
lot In Sunnyslde district, owing to the
extent of the territory to be assessed.
City Engineer Chase has done consider
able work on the plans. He says he will
put the surveyors In the field shortly and
make a thorough survey and determine
The area of the. district. It Is estimated
that the district will embrace from three
to four square miles, more than deublo
that of the Sunnyslde district. Under fa
vorable conditions It will be nearly two
years before work can be started. There
Is much fear among property-ownera that
the cost will be excessive, and it is to ar
rive at some understanding that the mas3
meeting will be held this evening.

The people of Woodstock have not given

posed to lai' a 6-Inch main from, the
upper Mount Tabor reservoir along the
Mllwaukle road to supply water to Wood-
j stock. Ivanhoe and Tremont. but as
these places are outside the city the com-
mitten declined to lav th mnln. An f

first estimates.

ELEVATED ROADWAYS COSTLY
Sn,,Ject of FIUInjc ln streets Again
1 under Discussion.
The matter of filling ln streets occupied
by bridges and elevated roadways Is again
being discussed, especially ln regard to
the streets on the East Side water front,
which could be cheaply and expeditiously
filled by the different street railway and
railroad companies using them. In refer.
! ence to this question, City .Engineer (Jhaso
says:

tion of the bridges across Marquara's
Gulch and Sullivan's Gulch and the Wil
lamette Heights and Portland Heights
bridges, all these structures ought to, be
done away with and the gulches filled
with earth. Nearly all the places to be
filled have railroads over them or con
venient to them. It would seem that some
arrangement might be made with, the
railway companies to haul earth on cars
and fill up these streets to grade at a
nominal cost- At the time East Morrison
street roadway was repaired, the city
made a strong effort to have that street
filled with earth. The matter was dis
cussed with the railway people, but the
negotiations finally fell through. The plan
was to employ the City & Suburban, O. R.
& N. and Southern Pacific Railway Com
panies to fill in the parts of the street
most convenient to each, but this could
not be brought about at that time, and
the roadway was finally repaired with
plank. Since that time the railway com
panies have developed a greater spirit of
enterprise and progress in the way of
making necessary repairs and improve
ments, and It is hoped that this spirit will
continue to increase till it will be pos-

permanent in a very short time."
