THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, SATURDAY,- SEPTEMBER 21, 1901.
NIVAL NOW OPEN
Inaugurated Last Night With
Due Ceremonies.
ELECTRIG ILLUMINATION GRAND
Two Full Military Bands Enlivened
Occasion Addresses by General
Summers and Mayor
Rowe.
The great carnival and exposition
opened last evening.
Thus the unceasing committee work
done for many months by representative
business men lias borne fruit.
This exposition is truly representative
of the entire Northwest, for it has rep
xesentatlve exhibits of all the products
of every part of the Northwest, and all
are displayed in a most interesting and
attractive manner.
Promptly at 7 o'clock the doors of that
immense structure, the Exposition build
ing, were thrown open to the public, and
-what seemed like an endless stream of
people Hied in and took time to prom
enade and view the interminable rows of
exhibits so conveniently arranged for
their inspection, and many exclamations
of admiration were heard which were
caused by the tasteful decorations and the
brilliant Illuminating. The thousands of
'electric light bulbs and glowing arc lights
jmade a very brilliant scene.
Brief and Pointed.
The opening exercises were brief and
appropriate. The consolidated bands
marched through the big buildings, filling
the atmosphere with melody, and finally
jfiled to seats on the stage.
It was an Inspiring sight when, the new
drop curtain rolled up and the full force
of musicians Tendered "The Star-Spangled
Banner," whose stirring strains floated
out over the vast concourse of people.
On the spacious stage sat the members
of the carnival committee, and on the
"walls above them were appropriately sus
pended the large portraits of Lewis and
Clark, the pioneer explorer?.
The address of General O. Summers, the
efficient chairman, of the carnival commit
tee, was brief and pointed. He said:
General Summer's Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Engraved upon
iho base of the Skidmore fountain of this
city is the following inscription: "Good
citizens are the riches of a city."
Last April a goodly number of public
eplrited citizens met and decided that
Portland should not bo backward as to
enterprise to build up a modern city and
keep In touch with the latest public en
terprises, and. If possible, make both
Portland and the State of Oregon the most
advanced of any In the Northwest, so far
as their commercial, manufacturing and
producing interests are concerned. The
committee was organized and proceeded
to work with energy and push, and have
spared no pains nor expense to develop
something new that would interest the
people. How well they have succeeded
and carried out this idea is demonstrated
by the assemblage here tonight on this
our formal opening. There never was a
time In the history of our city and state
that was more prosperous than at the
present time splendid crops of all kinds,
successful harvests and a good market
for our products. "What more could be
asked for? Few of our own people here
irealize the advancement made by our
local manufacturers, or the rapid increase
of our large commercial interest's, so the
committee which represents you, after a
period of deep study ajid careful attention
to all these details, has formulated the
present Carnival and Exposition, studying
iFae modern idea by combining both
amusement and instruction, and I know
of no better way of developing these polnte
than by concentrating all these public en
terprises under one roof. In the words of
our late lamented President, who so beau
tifully expressed the true value of these
expositions in his last speech, delivered at
xhe Buffalo exposition the day before he
was shot: "Expositions are the timekeep
ers of progress. They record the world's
advancement. They stimulate the energy,
enterprise and Intellect of the people and
quicken human genius. They go Into tlie
jiome. They broaden and brighten the
daily life of the people. They open
mighty storehouses of information to the
student. Every exposition, great or small,
lias helped to some onward step. Com.
parison of ideas Is always education, and
as such instructs the brain and hand of
man. Friendly rivalry follows, which is
the spur to industrial improvements of
human activity. It exacts a study of the
-wants, comforts and even the whims ot
the people, and recognizes the efficacy of
.high quality and new prices to win their
iavor "
And "were it not for the deep mantle of
sorrow which has spread its cloak ovei
lis by his death, this occasion might' be
made more of a harvest festival, but we
how our heads and say, as be so sub
limely said, "God's will be done," and
take up the broken thread of life again,
and, as stated, "Good citizens are the
2-iches of a city," so it may truthfully be
eaid of your committee, who have as
sumed much for your common good and
at their own personal sacrifice.
In behalf of t5ie committee it gives me
great pleasure in bidding you welcome,
and I trust it will meet with the interest
and success it deserves may I not say
profit? and study well what you may
bee and enjoy under this roof, and as
president of this committee I bid you
Jhrice welcome.
Mayor Howe's Response.
As soon as the applause that followed
General Summers' address had died away,
Hon. H. S. Rowe, ilayor of Portland,
poke as follows:
"In the wake of sorrow comes duty. Our
Station has suffered. AVe have paid due
respect and tribute to the illustrious dead.
"Xhe events of the past two weeks form a
sad chapter of our 'National history. It
is now the part of duty and good citizen
ship to return to our several occupations.
The highest interests of humanity have
not suffered. Our Constitutional liberty
lias not been lessened nor has the stabil
ity of government been threatened. Pres
ident Roosevelt has assumed the duties
of his high office. He is a man of clear,
well-balanced mind, the result of care
ful study and large experience. He is
full of noble impulses upon which he acts
quickly. His patriotism is above ambi
tion. The honor of our Nation Is dearer
to him than his life. He is considered an
ideal American, and we may conclude
that the powers of government are in
safe hands.
"It is now becoming that we should
cheerfully do our part as citizens. I
therefore take great pleasure in formally
opening this carnival, and I hope It will
Tecelve the liberal patronage which it de
serves, and that It will be productive of
all the good to our state and city, of
which it seems possible."
Grains, Grasses, Etc.
The agricultural, horticultural, forestry
and fishery department is making an ex
hibit that is most notable. It is In charge
of Captain E. S. Edwards, and he has
made a great success of the enterprise.
His efforts were highly commended by
the crowds which last night Inspected
and admired his exhibit. It Is well worth
inspecting, and will soon be described In
detail.
Beauties of 3Iusic Hall.
A grand transformation has been
wrought in the appearance of the Expo
sition music hall. The artistic eye, the
decorator and the landscape gardener

SOME OF
have all been there since the general
public were last there previous to last
night, and scenes of beauty now greet
the eye on every side. Evergreen bowers
and Autumn leaves of warm tints adorn
the sides, and evergreen garlands in
graceful festoons are suspended from the
arched roof.
High up over the stage was the sen
tence: "1901 Carnival prepares the way for the
1303 Centennial."
Lagoons Were Admired.
A new feature of the music hall is the
real lagoons in the center of the floor,
and they are much admired and make a
striking sylvan scene. Lagoons of real
water, spanned by a rustic bridge, with
real islands like these are a novelty
in any music hall, and the beautiful bor
ders of green and living grass, the potted
plants representing all climes, make a
very pretty pitcure.
Above the stage are two large portraits
of Lewis and Clark, the pioneer path
finders. . Model Fish. Farm.
One of the corners that attracted the
most attention last night was the fish
hatchery, where salmon and salmon eggs
were shown In all stages. Two officials
of the .United States Fish Commission
in uniform showed how artificial propaga
tion is worked, and great interest was
shown by visitors.
The Excellent Music.
The music of the two bands was an
important feature of the evening. "Words
of praise were heard on all sides for the
excellent work of the directors, Slgnor
DeCaprio, whose 30 musicians furnished
music for those within the building, and
J. H. Everest, who entertained the out
side audience in Multnomah Field.
Slgnor DeCaprio's strength lies par
ticularly in his notably fine work as a
sollst on the baritone, that brass instru
ment which holds a place midway be
tween the cornet and the trombone. He
p'ays this with remarkable skill, both
as regards technique and the production
of a beautiful and expressive tone. His
solo work was the leading feature of the
evening, front a musical standpoint. A
brilliant concert piece, his own compo
sition, was follpwed, by way of encore,
by the "Holy City," which as a strain
of pure melody was most delightfully
given. It is evident that Signor DeCap
rio has the musical temperament that
seems to be the birthright of all who are
born under Italian skies. His composi
tions show an easy flow of melody. As
a director it can be said that he Is the
equal of others who have had the direc
tion of the Exposition music in years
gone by. He has been successful in sur
rounding himself with a strong body of
musicians, independent and sure in their
art, so that the band really shows aston
ishingly good results from its two weeks'
practice. About 20 of the men are frcm
Portland and the rest are from outside
cities. The soloists, in the main, are De
Caprio's own men, whom he has himself
brought to Portland. Lombard!, the Ital
ian oboe player, was with the Maurice
Grau Opera Company in New York. There
is a fine cornet soloist, a young Italian,
Arlola by name, who is yet to be heard
from; two American clarinet soloists, an
Italian E fiat clarinet solo player named
SUva, a Scotchman who does solo work
on the French horn, and a trombone so
loist. To these must be added some mark
edly strong talent from Portland, so that
it will be easy to explain the success of
the evening's music. Among the conspic
uous numbers was "Wagner's overture to
"Rlenzi." A selection from "Stifhelio"
(Verdi) had the spice of novelty. Unfor
tunately, it was given just at the time
the audience was passing back Into the
music hall from Multnomah Field, so that
much of the effect was necessarily lost in
the confusion. The opening march, "The
Victory," dedicated to General Summers
by DeCaprio. was a stirring piece of
music, well suited to Its place in the pro
gramme. Much enthusiasm was evoked by the
Gessler-Hlrschorn Alpine yodlers, a trio
of two young women and one young
mountaineer. In the picturesque costume
of Swiss peasants. Their voices rang out
their Tyrolese mountain songs with de
licious clarity and freshness.
Outside, in Multnomah Field, the Third
Regiment Band, under the direction of
J. H. Everest, gave a programme of pop
ular airs. Mr. Everest is so well known
in Portland for his creditable work that
It Is hardly necessary to dwell upon it in
detail. His musical training has been re
ceived entirely from Portland teachers.
For the past 10 years he has had the di
rection of a band of his own, which has
recently played with much success In
the cities of Puget Sound and at Cata
Hna, Cal. He has just entered upon his
new duties as leader of the Third Regi
ment Band, but their work in Astoria has
already attracted favorable notice. As a
French horn player Mr. Everest was high
ly complimented for his work by Mlno
llti, the director of the Italian band that

THE MEN AT THE
roused so much enthusiasm in this city
a year or two ago. The Instrument to
which he has chiefly turned his atten
tion, however Is the violin. Mr. Everest
has two or three excellent soloists, among
them being A. G. Parrott, of East Port
land, well-known as a solo cornetist.
Woman's Department.
The woman's department occupies the
entire east end of the building up stairs.
It is divided Into four sections, art and
needlework, mercantile, Industrial and do
mestic. There is enough to hold the in
terest of the visitor the greater part of
the evening in this department alone.
Mrs. H. E. Battln is in charge, of the
exhibit Choice work In chlna-palnting,
the weaving of carpets before one's eyes,
the sparkle of frosted flowers, and a
hundred other Interesting attractions
make the exhibit one of the most note
worthy in the building. The domestic de
partment Is under the direction of the
Woman's Club, the club colors, green and
white, marking this off from the rest In
the southeast corner, upstairs. Here, on
Tuesdays and Fridays, a valuable series
of demonstrations In cooking will be given
by Mrs. Nellie R. Miller, whose scien
tific training at well-known Eastern cook
ing schools, makes her work of great
value to housekeepers. The work ex
hibited in the four sections of the wo
man's department will require a more de
tailed description than can be given it at
the present time.
Amateur Photograph)'.
The room devoted to amateur photog
raphy in the northeast corner of the
building upstairs, was visited by many
lovers of art. Portland Is well-known as
the home of some of the most .skilled
amateurs in America, and some very
beautiful specimens of their work, both
in landscape and In portraiture are to be
seen in these rooms. There are fewer
snap shots than heretofore. The exhibit
Is lighted from the center, the rays fall
ing upon a huge yucca palm, which oc
cupied a conspicuous place underneath
the light. The ceiling is draped in crim
son, the only attempt at adornment In the
room. Seats are grouped here and there
that visitors may study the work on the
walls at their leisure. The photographs
are well worth careful examination and
will be described in detail later on.
IMsplny of Agility.
The Christians did some very agile acts
on roller and toe skates, and created quite
a flurry. Their acts are amusing, as well
as agile.
The Lundgreens gave a very successful
exhibition on the revolving ladder, which
was vo.ted a very neat turn. This act will
be watched with Interest by the throngs
of visitors.
Fire-works Were Fine.
The programme of fireworks was well
arranged, and would have been a decided
success had not the sudden showers ar
rived just when they were not wanted.
One account of the rain the set pieces
had to be touched off before the mass of
people had a chance to see them. But
they will be repeated at an early date.
Grandstand Will Be Covered.
Chairman Cole, of the building and light
committee, has arranged to have the new
grandstand in Multnomah field covered at
once with heavy canvas, which will ex
clude both rain and sun in case either
are annoying.
Carnival Notes.
A railroad ticket, purse and lace hand
kerchief were found In the building last
night, and can be recovered at the sec
retary's office.
The addresses of General Summers and
Mayor Rowe were loudly applauded and
recognized as of just the proper length
for such occasions.
The Carnival "Whooper has been heard
from everywhere, and Is in great de
mand. Yesterday L. D. Cole, who origin
ated it, received a letter f rora Michigan,
asking for copies.
.Among the visitors to the carnival last
night was George C Baker, manager of
the Baker Opera-House, at Baker Clfy,
who was several seasons the successful
superintendent of the Portland exposition.
There will be a meeting, of the carni
val committee at the Exposition building
at 9 o'clock this evening on Important
business, and the executive committee of
the Multnomah Athletic Club Is respec
tively requested to attend.
Colonel R. "W. Mitchell, who was super
intendent of the exposition in former
years, spoke last night as follows: "The
carnival and exposition Is a gratifying
.success. It Is finely arranged, well placed
and very creditable to the exhibitors. The
music was superb, and the whole exposi
tion starts off successfully, without any
discount whatever. The management is
entitled to the highest praise."
John VInce, a member of the carnival
committee, and one of the main men who
has so successfully mapped out the horse
show, has challenged any member of the
carnival committee oyer 40 years of .age,

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Behind the Scenes" in Full View nt
the Marquam Tonight.
Between the acta of "An Ideal Hus
band," which the Neill Company Is to
produce at the Marquam tonight, the cur
tain will b raised in order to Initiate
J 0
A
r
the audience Into the ever mysterious re
gion behind the scenes. The setting of
one act will be struck and that of an
other put in its place in full view of the
audience, exactly as it is done when the
audience can hear only the scurrying
footsteps of the gentlemen whose business
It is to shift the scenes. Mr. Neill has
been criticised for the long waits between
the acts of his productions, and he takes
this means of showing that a scene cannot
be properly mounted In a minute.
"A Bngrgagc Check" at Cordray's.
Not the least among the many pleasing
features of "A Baggage Check," the farce
comedy which appears at Cordray's Sun
day .and all next week, Is the work of the
chorus. There are half a score of pretty
women with the company, and pains have
been taken to select the very latest mu
sical hits. Numerous specialties of a re
cent date are Introduced, including sev
eral of the most popular Broadway song
successes. The leading comedy role of "A
Baggage Check" will be In the hands of
James T. Xelly, the well-known comedian,
whose ability as a funmaker Is undis
puted. Operations on the stage are con
ducted under his efficient management,
and much of the success of t!he piece is
due to his efforts.
"A Runaway Girl."
The sale of seats for "A Runaway Girl."
which will come to the Marquam for three
nights, beginning Monday, opened yester
day with a lively call for reservations.
"A Runaway Girl" Is one of the East
ern musical successes, of which every one
has heard, and whose airs are familiar all
over the Pacific Coast, but which has
never been seen here. Besides Arthur
Dunn, the tiny comedian, who Is so well
known, the comedy part of the entertain
ment is strengthened by H. W. TreDenlck,
who Is well remembered by every one who
saw "The Highwayman" here last Spring.
Mr. TreDenlck In the part of Foxy Qull
ler, the astute detective, was almost "the
whole show."
Legality of Ordinance Questioned.
OREGON CITY, Sept. 20 A motion was
filed In the Circuit Court today to strike
out of the complaint of the Portland
City & Oregon Railway Company, against
Oregon City certain portions of the com
plaint which the defendant claims are ir
relevant, the object of the motion beinjr.
to put In Issue the validity of ordinance
No. 256, which was railroaded through the
Council last December, and which granted
to the railway company the privilege of
running freight trains through Main
street for a period of 43 years. The com
plaint was filed three weeks ago and
County Judge Ryan granted the company
a temporary Injunction restraining the
city officials from arresting employes of
the company or otherwise interfering with
the operation of passenger, freight or
express cars. Ordinance No. 256 was in
troduced at a regular meeting and passed
at an adjourned session of the same meet
ing, which is contrary to the charter
of 'Oregon City, and on these grounds
the city denies the validity of the ordi
nance. The question will come up at the
November term of the Circuit Court.
TRIED TWICE
And Proved the Proposition.
"I -wish to give my experience with cot
fee for the benefit of other people. I
used coffee for several years and was
a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia. The
doctor told me not to use coffee or tea
and put me on a light diet, and I felt
better.
"Then I commenced to drink coffee
again and had the same trouble come on.
"One day I told a friend about It, who
said If I would stop drinking coffee alto
gether I would feel better, and advised
me to use Poatum Food Coffee In Its
place.
"I tried the Postum but did not like it,
so I told him about It and he said I
didn't cook it right, that Is, didn't boil It
enough and that I should use cream In
stead of milk, and to make sure I would
use -It, he sent a package to the house.
"After I used that package, I would
have no more coffee In the house. Now
I don't know what It Is to have dyspepsia
and I can eat anything. I also give Pos
tum to my two children and they are the
healthiest children you could find any
where. The youngest Is a boy of 13 months
old and we have been giving him Postum
for seven months, three times a day. He
weighs 30 pounds, and I know that Poa
tum Is what keeps both of them so
healthy.
"I think all people who have dyspepsia
get It from coffee drinking.

THUGS HOLD UP A SALOON
TWO MASKED MEX ARMED WITH
REVOLVERS.
One-Terrorize the Proprietor and n
Friend While the Other Taps
the Cnnh Register.
Two rough-looking men with handker
chiefs tied over the lower portion of their
faces, held up W. C. Bishop's saloon, at
the northeast corner of Park and Burn
side streets, shortly after 11 o'clock last
night, stole $35 and escaped. One of the
robbers terrorized the inmates of the sa
loon with a drawn revolver, while the
other robber looted the cash register.
Bishop has been In the saloon only since
August 15. Formerly he conducted an
oyster-house on Third street, near Yam
hill, and about seven months ago a
masked robber held up his assistant In
this place and stole all the money In the
cash register and escaped. Last night
trade was dull In the Burnslde-street sa
loon, and Bishop and a friend named H.
J. Hyde were playing cards on a table lo
cated near the Park-street window when
the two robbers suddenly entered.
"Throw up your hands," growled one
robber, leveling his revolver, and Hyde,
who Is a tall young man, promptly
obeyed. Bishop sat In amazement, and as
he did not make any motion to throw up
his hands, the robber with the revolver
said sharply: "Didn't you hear me tell
you to hold up your hands?" Still Bishop
made no sign, and the robber gave a
smothered exclamation of disgust, and
then said: "Well, If you won't, turn your
face to the wall and don't look at us. Be
quick." Bishop obeyed.
By this time the other robber was be
hind the bar. busy at the cash register,
and he shovelled into his capacious pock
ets all the silver within reach. He made
a dive for the door, and the other robber
followed him, leaving Bishop and Hyde
together.
Bishop sprang to the Burnslde-street
door, and saw the two ruffians speeding
down Park street. It was a dark night,
and almost Instantly they disappeared in
the gloom. Conscious that he was with
out firearms. Bishop made no attempt to
follow them, but he quickly telephoned
news of the robbery to the police station.
Policemen were dispatched to the scene,
but by this time the robbers had left the
neighborhood. Bishop bore his loss philo
sophically, but regretfully, and said:
"Well, I suppose those fellows will spend
my money in some other saloon."
"They ought to call back and spend It
In your place, BLshop," said a neighbor
Jokingly.
MATINEES TODAY.
Attractive Bills at All the Locnl
Theaters.
There will be mat'inees this afternoon at
all the theaters at the usual hour. At the
Marquam the Neill Company will present
"The Case of Rebellious Susan," the play
with which they opened their week's en
gagement. As this is the "dressiest" play
In their repertoire, the growns worn being
marvels of the modiste's art. It is sure to
be popular with a matinee audience.
At Cordray's "Daughter of the Diamond
King," a melodrama running over with
that alluring quality known as heart In
terest, will be the attraction. The play
tells one of those stories to which every
one likes fo listen, and there Is no reason
to doubt that the attendance this after
noon will be as large as It has been all tile
week.
"The Queen of Hayti," a coon show,
which Is one of the best of Its kind ever
seen In Portland, will be the attraction
