A young man of literary tastes strolled Into a temporary book store a few even ings ago, where cheap books are sold for as much as can be gotten for them. He amused himself for about an hour looking over the books laid out for Inspection, and In watching the efforts of the auctioneer to cell his wares. He put up sets of the works of nearly all the modern writers of Action, from Marie Corelli to Rudyard Kipling, and labored hard to make a sale, but without success. It was rather late, about 10 P. iL, and the crowd in attend ance did not appear to want books at any price. Pinally, a Bible with flexible covers was put up and, after much expenditure of patience and lung power, was knocked down to a decidedly irreligious-looking person for six bits. Then the literary young man approached the auctioneer and asked him if he had "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." He looked thought ful, and then peered about among a lot of second-hand books, and finally asked to have the title of the book repeated. This was done, and It was stated that the book was by Oliver "Wendell Holmes. He searched a while longer, but could not lind the book desired, and said he did not believe he had it. The literary young man then asked him if he had any of Dr. Holmes books. His reply was, "All this pile of books was sent in by some doctor, but I do not know what his name Is." Thereupon the literary young man with drew in disgust. .Made First Oregon Billiard Table. A paragraph published a short time ago in regard to .the first billiard table im ported into Oregon caught the eyes of Peter Taylor, a well-known pioneer citi zen. He says the paragraph Is probably correct, but that he made the first billiard table ever made in Oregon. It was built for Cooley Barrell. There being tio slate bed for it, the bed was made of wood, In three sections, and there were 3G panels in each section. This was in the Fall of 1S54. Mr. Taylor was a, patternmaker in an iron works at the time, but business being dull in the Fall he made the billiard table and also a bagatelle board for Mr. Bar ren. The object of having the bed In three sections of S6 panels each was to prevent It from cracking, springing, or warping. The bed answered every pur pose, and the table was In use for many years, but probably has become old lum ber before this time. Still After the Trees The capitalist mentioned a few days ago as having gone to an expense of SG0 to have a dozen old poplar trees removed from in front of a lot ho bought in the northern part of the city, has since Invested more money In a eimllar project. He has no trees in front of his house, which stands on the corner of a block. A short distance away were two large trees in front of another man's property, which obstructed his view down Fourth street. He besought the owner of these trees to have them cut down, but the request was not granted. Finally he obtained permission to remove them at bis own expense, and paid 511 to have It done. He Is well satisfied with his investment. Few care to remove shade trees In front of their own property, but the number who care to pay the expense of having such trees removed in front of another's property Is very much smaller. Bad Sidewalk Removed. The worst piece or wooden sidewalk In the city is no longer to be seen on Front street, be tween Pine and Ash streets. Since men tion was made of it a few days ago it his been replaced by a fine cement walk, which makes a continuous cement walk in the block, with the exception of 25 feet. This will probably soon be laid with ce ment. The ordinance passed by the Com mon Council a short time ago, requiring cement sidewalks within a certain dis trict, including the business part of the city, has been the cruise of many such walks being laid of late. The passage of this ordinance was one of the prelimin aries looking to have the streets of the city put in decent condition before 1903, when the city will be visited by thousands from probably every state In the Union on the occasion of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Mazamas Meet Tomorrow Night. The eighth annual reception of the Mazamas will be held tomorrow evening at their rooms in the City Hall. All the Mazamas and those who went on last Summer's outing, are invited. The secretary has sent out the following announcement. "That most palatable and luxurious comestible 'Ice cream, frlgoriflc as a Mount HooC glacial, together with a Telay of super excellent cake, will be tendered to all. During the Interregnum that diadem of courtesy and congeniality. Colonel I. ,. Hawkins, will glorify in exhibiting to one and all his late museo acquisitions. All Mazamas are invited to be present and join in our conviviality and merrymak lg." Don't miss the joint open meeting of the four camps of the Modern "Woodmen of America, of this city, which takes place at the Exposition building on next "Wednesday evening. Hon. W.

A first-class musical programme nas been arranged and all who attend are assured an instructive and enjoyabevening. Transport's Visiting Day. a large number availed; themselves of an oppor tunity to inspect the United States trans port Rosecrats yesterday, and during ths afternoon there was a constant stream or visitors. The big vessel was visited from stem to stern, and the officers constituted a courteous and obliging reception coin- mlttee. Late in the afternoon a partv from the Seamen's Institute visited the vessel and held a gospel service for the crew, and visitors. Recovered From Stupor. Charles Lane, the tailor's cutter who was thought to have been drugged early yesterday morning when he was found on Alder street, near Fourth street, recovered from his stupor In the course of the morning and went to his home on Corbett street. The police reported that nothing had been stolen from him at the time, and that he only remembered falling on the street. C H. Lane, of the Lane Tailoring Com pany, 270 Stark street, was not the party referred to in Sunday's Oregonian, as be ing drugged, but he will be at the old stand on Stark street, ready to show you all tlio latest novelties in Fall and "Winter suitings, overcoatings and trouserings, and will guarantee perfect satisfaction both in styles and price.". Larcent From the Person. Stella "Ward was arrested yesterday by Police man G. Roberts, charged with stealing S35 from John Smith, on First street, near Couch street. Smith and James Dlckerson were detained as witnesses. BiCTCLEs Had No Bells.

Sexton and Robert Burnett The Dalles-Portland Route, Regula tor Line Steamers, From Oak-Street Dock Daily, at 7 ! Trials of Dwellers in Flats. Since the trusts are Increasing the price of about everything people eat or wear or use, the sufferers are in self-defense tak ing to the style of living in flats, rooming-houses and boarding-houses, which is something In the nature of forming a trust in the matter of boarding and lodg ing. As some landladies begin to imagine, there Is rather too much trust connected with the business. Living In flats often effects a considerable saving to persons who have to rent houses, but there are some disadvantages connected with this style of residence. For Instance, A and B, who live in the same tier of flats, found a few days ago that their supply of wood had run out. A told his wife to buy a load of wood, from the first wood hauler who came along, and B told his wife he would send a man up with .a loa'd of wood. Presently B's load of wood ar rived., and Mrs. A went out and showiC the man where to put it In her wooC room, and, asking the price, paid for it. "When B came homo and found no dinner ready and no wood on hand, there "was trouble. The telephone was burned out before the reason for there being no wood In the "house" was ascertained, and now there is a coolness between the As and Bs which no ordinary wood fire can dispel. The Critic at Church. In a certain East Side church yesterday, a woman, ac companied by three small children, walked with emphasis Into the building, during the delivery of the prayer after the first hymn had been sung. She was a worried-looking mother, and no sooner had she taken her seat in one of the pewo than her troubles began. Her two little girls started to talk aloud and it took them some little time to understand what "hush" meant in church. Then the baby girl began to sing a solo, and when the minister started to preach his sermon and made a fervent appeal for better financial support, that baby cried in the most L heart-breaking fashion all the way through. It at last dawned upon the con gregation that the affair was getting to be a vocal contest between the minister and the baby. Although the minister has a powerful bass voice, the baby beat him and was walling In a shrill treble when the good pastor finished his discourse. Then the minister asked for a special col lection, but before the collectors reached the mother with the troublesome babies, they had departed without contributing one cent toward the expenses of that particular church. Fuchsia Slip;; for "Whole Northwest. The mention jiade a short time ago of the magnificent fuchsia plant growing in the grounds of Robert Foulkes, S21 Front street, has caused him to receive visits from a large number of people, and com munications without number from ' all parts of the Northwest, from persons ask ing for slips from the plant. The first per sons to call after reading the notice were two gardeners from Minnesota, who were lost In admiration of the plant, having never seen anything like It In their lived. They took some slips home with them, but in Minnesota's "sultry cllme" these arc never likely to attain the growth of Mr. Foulkes' fuchsia "tree," which Is over seven feet In height and measures considerably over 20 feet In circumference. Mr. Foulkes has sent away so many slips from his plant to correspondents from all parts of Oregon, "Washington, Idaho and Montana, that he is not likely to have so much trouble as usual In getting it through the door Into his cellar this Fall. He has taken much pains to pack them for mailing In cardboard cylinders, but has been obliged to draw tne line on per sons who forget to enclose stamps for pay ing postage. To Face Federal Officials. Lydia Knartson and Ike Louisignaut, who were arrested last week Friday by Detectives Ford and Cordano, and charged with "be ing implicated In the larceny of missing bank checks, have been handed over to the United States officials. Ralph W. Hoyt, of the Merchants National Bank, recently drew two checks on the Kelso State Bank and mailed them, but the checks never reached their destination. Five days ago Lydia Knartson arrived bero from Kelso, and then made the ac quaintance of Loulsgnaut, who lives In this city. It is charged that the couple presented Mr. Hoyt's missing checks to a teller of a Third-street bank, who In turn sent them to the Wells, Fargo & Co. Bank. Here the missing checks were recognized, and the police notified. The woman in defense stated that the mlps ing checks had been mailed to her by some unknown person in Kelso, and that sho thought she was entitled to raise money on them.- Bad Crossings and Their Effect. Late Saturday evening, after it had been raining for several hours, a citizen and his wife were on their way home from spending the evening with some friends. In crossing a street they found a puddle of water where the last half of the cross ing should have been. This was in front of a piece of property owned by the man, and his wife knew it. She at once began scolding and guying him because there was no crosswalk there. "My dear," he said, "there Is a good five-plank crossing there, but three of the planks are worn out, and the other two were never put down." While his wife was trying to understand this, he led her through the mud and water to the sidewalk, and she got her feet wet and lost the thread of his story and her temper. At last accounts she had not recovered either.-There are a number of crossings about town which appear to be In about the same condition as the one mentioned. Missing Man. The police have been asked to -find J. Lanqulst, who roomed In the Hamilton block, and hds been mlsjlng for three days. He Is 37 years old, weighs 170 pounds, Is five feet 10 Inches tall; has light hair, mixed with gray, and was expecting to receive money wh'ich did not arrive from Denver, Colo.

A Northcott's address on "Modern Woodcraft" at the Exposition building next Wednesday evening! All are cordially invited. a CLEOMENES CHALLENGE. Want to 3Ieet All Portland in Associ ation Football Game. The game of association football played last Saturdy between the officers and crew of the British ship Cleomene, and the Portland Seamen's Institute, In which the sailors won by o.ne goal, was so en joyable an affair that the Cleomenes have decided to challenge any association foot ball team that Portland can produce. Last week's institute team cannot play again intact, as Stewart has gone home to Eastern Oregon. Certain changes are therefore necessary in Its composition, and Rev. Mr. Cummlng-Bruce, of the Seamen's Institute, or Alexander C. Rae, 224 Stark street, will be glad to com municate with experienced association football players. Both Rae and Rev. Mr. Cummlng-Bruce played excellently In the recent match. An association foot ball team representing the City of Port land will probably be formed this week, ana as nearly all the officers and crews of British ships visiting this port play association football, a series of matches will be arranged. Several of the hardy sailors, especially Barnard, outplayed the civilians Saturday. An American Associ ation Football Union Is organized in the Eastern States, and live, energetic clubs exist In Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. One of the most famous clubs In this country Is that of the Fall River Rovers. ip WHERE TO DIME TODAY. The Portland restaurant, 305 Wash., knows how to prepare and serve the best foods Just right.

WISE "PREACHED ON ENGLAND'S GREAT RULER, His Stainless Career as a Warrior and Statesman Reviewed at Temple Beth, Israel. "King Alfred the Great" was the title of the Friday night sermon of Dr. Stephen S. Wise at the Temple Beth Israel. There was a large congregation present, In cluding many 'members of the British societies and British Consul James Laid law, who were Interested in the celebra tion of the King Alfred millenary. Dr. Wise spoke in part as follows: "Alfred is no myth. "Much that Is myth ical and 'legendary has entwined Itself ------ NEW FIRE-ENGINE HOUSE. :jss c-w sv.!ik.;,m: jfigMK-.v Kvsss "saws i 's svi s A" vs & i v a'iwarsasriw ; I AT TWENTY-SECOND The new flre-englne -house of Company 6, on NIcolai street, near Twenty-second, is one of the neatest and most compact In the city. It Is a two-story frame building, 35 feet by 60 feet, with accommodations for three horses, one engine, one hose cart, and quarters for the men. The engine In use was formerly worked by engine company 3, along with the hose cart. Most of the wood has been donated by the representatives of lumber mills in the section, and the hose tower at the rear adds a finish to the main building. Underneath the engine a pit has been dug for the heater, which Is used to keep up steam for the engine. Electric light Is used throughout, and when the men retire for the night to get their sleep, or until an alarm of lire rings, the building is dark, but "at the moment the fire gong sounds, the attachment also turns on the electricity and the building Is ablaze from basement to top floor. The work of construction has largely been done by the firemen themselves. around the story of his life, but myth Is to the truth In the life of Alfred as the astral bodies, which, by but little, add to the brilliancy and splendor of the circling sun as it absorbs them. When all that Is mythical Is amply allowed for and all that Is legendary Is subtracted there remains a shining, blazing sun-like body of facts and truths and achieve ments, borne out by historic record and of unmistakable authenticity, showing that wo are speaking tonight of one whom Freeman calls 'the most perfect character In history, . . . The most complete embodiment of all that is great; all that is lovable In the English temper.' "Alfred meets a severer test than that of contemporaneous judgment, namely, the passing of the centuries which dim the luster- of many one-time radiant fames. Today, the most critical and dis cerning historians are agreed that 'his personal character comes as near to per fection as that of any recorded man.' Never Lived 'a "Worthier Man. "Voltaire thinks 'never lived a man worthier of respect.' Herder calls Alfred a bright star in the history of mankind.' Both Herder and Mirabeau compare Al fred with Charlemagne, and to Alfred award the palm. Truly, he outshines even Charles the Mighty and Louis the Saintly, and may be compared only to one other earthly King, the almost more than human, the God-like Marcus Aure llus. Coming to the rule of an impov erished and devastated country, he Im mediately found It necessary to begin a heroic war of defense of West Saxondom against the invading Danes and pirate Northmen, who were called 'the locusts of the Baltic' He won back the sea as well as te land, and thus fathered Eng land's long-time supremacy on the seas. After 12 years of warfare he fought and won the battle of Ethandune, and, best of all, won over his foes to the love and service of England. The story of these years of struggle is of shameful and un speakable contempt, save for the stain less chivalry of Alfred, who was heroic and daring in battle, hopeful and undis mayed In defeat, generous and forgiving In victory. "The few years that now remained to his death in 901 at Winchester were not given over to bootless celebration of his victory, but to unwearying pursuit of the arts of peace, In which he excelled in the end, even as he .was supreme In the art of war. After giving one-eighth of his In come for the support of the poor, he de voted another eighth of the royal revenue to the cause of education.. He gave one third of his time every day to study, al though he was afflicted with a burden some and painful disease all his life. Noth ing in all his career Is more memorable J than his decree that all free-born youths apply themselves to the study of the Eng lish language. "Verily, he was a thou sand years 'before his age, and even be fore our age,' for he wished to educate the whole people; he desired to Inaugurate the era of universal education. His dream was not realized for 1000 years, until our own splendid Victorian era. Prophet of the future, aye, more than prophet, who wrought In part what e'er he sought! 'England's Spotless King." "Carlyle treats of the hero as divinity, prophet, poet, priest, man of letters, king. If any man can be, Alfred was all of these. Prophet, foreteller and forthbrlng er of a better day; poet, singing his peo ple's songs that they might right their wrongs; priest, who gave men a law founded upon the law of God; man of let ters, teacher and educator of his people; king, mighty captain of his armies, dar ing warrior, withal furtherer of his peo ple's peace. His versatility is matched only by his ch'aracter. His character was behind and before, beneath and above all he wrought In word and in work. Eng land's poet laureate calls him the 'spot less King,' rightly saying: And. none are truly great that are not good. "All that need be said has been said when we again make mention of his title, Alfred the Truth-Teller.' " I had rather go to my grave bearing that name than any other under heaven. It is this genius for truthtelling which has been, a tower of strength to the Anglo-Saxon race the want of which has undermined the Latin race; witness the diabolical falsehood re cently uttered by the head of the Roman Catholic church, 'We must be resolute against the four perils' o, modern society, socialism, anarchy, freemasonry and Juda ism.' "At the basis of that granitic character was a sincere and abiding religiousness, which was without all Intolerance or un charitableness. It was the religious groundwork of his character which led him to look upon 'his life as a-trust to be used for the benefit of his people, to live for his people and for his people's good alone.' One serious fault might have marred and blemished his character. In his youth he was of strong and almost ungovernable passion, but he conquered himself and his lusts. The trial of his flesh became the triumph of his spirit. A very divinity among men! "I have spoken this night of King Al fred because he merits our tribute and wishes it; that is, he wished so to live that he might deserve It, for ne has said: 'This I can now most truly say, that I have desired to live worthily while I lived, and after my death to leave to the men that should be after me a remem brance in good works.' "Greatest of All Englishmen." "I have spoken of 'this greatest of all Englishmen,' because I wish to bring to you the inspiration and uplift of a great example in high places. The stat ure of a noble man In exalted station is I mightier inspiration than any statute, -- 0 0 0 ---- AND NICOLAI STREETS. - vfr--t however compelling; than any statue, however colossal. In these days we are doubly fortunate to have In our highest place the example of a brave, truth-telling, lion-hearted man, following after our own noble William McKinley. Let us look at the other side of the shield. How true it is. 'No King, however great, wise, far seeing and resolute, can do more than his people will let him do.' In other words, if we are to have the inspiration of a great example we must In turn be strength and support to him, ashamed to fault-find, because the President, looking deeper than a man's skin, invites the leader of the negro race, and one of the most useful citizens in our land, to his home and table. We must glory in the courage and uprightness of our public lenders. "I have spoken of the greatest of Eng land's Kings In this American pulpit, be cause we of the United v States are the rightful Inheritors of Alfred's spirit; be cause the glories of Alfred's reign and of England's history are the common pos session of the English-speaking peoples; because I would have England and our country allied for no ignoble end for the purpose of emulating and perpetuating In brotherly rivalry the virtues and the graces of this King. Who would not favor and further such an alliance? "I have spoken of King Alfred in the pulpit of the synagogue, because It Is owing to such tolerant and noble rulers as Alfred that Anglo-Saxondom has come to stand for the largest and fullest lib erty, because my people found an asylum and a refuge for many centuries in the English Isles, because in the Anglo-Saxon, lands, our own and Great Britain, the Jew enjoy the largest measure of person al and religious liberty. "Alfred, seeker after God, Ms were the King-becoming graces. He lived as though to him had come the counsel glor iously to be fulfilled. .... "Be Just and fear not; Let all the ends thou alm'st at be thy country's, Thy God's and truth's." "Alfred's is and be the highest praise. Alfred is England's Washington; Wash ington is our Alfred, for Washington's, as ours was the inspiration of this memory and model. In the Appellate Court build ing at New York, a statue of heroic size portrays Alfred with uplifted sword in one hand, with book in the other. Not that he was like Mahomet, terrorizing men with the sword unless they accepted the book, tho Bible of Islam. Alfred's sword was never unsheathed and never raised save for -purity and truth, for honor and righteousness. His book sym bols the light that he brought to his age, the light and leading which he is to be to ages still unborn. It is the book of life, and in that glorious scroll of the deathless Alfred's, the great King's name leads all the rest."

Fill the Church Pulpit. There was a large congregation pres ent at the First Unitarian Church yester day morning to hear the Rev. George W. Stone, of San Francisco, Pacific Coast field secretary of the American Unitarian Association. Mr. Stone announced that the Rev. George Crosswell Cressy, D. D., had been assigned to temporary service at the church, and, would begin his ministry next Sunday. Mr. Stone spoke on "Tho Crisis in Religion," and the sermon was suggested by the following sentence con tained in a private letter written by an eminent theologian of one of the largest denominations: "We are going through a crisis, certain ly, and I do not see how there can fail to be at least temporary damage in tho loss of old-fashioned religion, which you and I know enough about to know that It was a wonderfully good thing, In spite of all the mlsjudgments it Involved." Mr. Stone said: "In this quotation the presence of a crisis in religion is clearly recognized. A crisis in religion is a crisis in the Hve3 and conduct of men. Why need we ago nize over this crisis? Why do we not sing tho songs of deliverance? There 13 no good reason: but there Is an explana tion for it. It Is a lack of general faith is the Divine beneficence, in the Father hood of God. The good ship Progress has carried us past the shoals and rocks, the sandbars and shallows, out Into the fathomless and boundless sea of God's eternal goodness. Jesus prepared the chart for us 2000 years ago, and humanity has all these weary years been trying to understand it. "I am sure that the great masses of ministers and people are as anxious as we can be to know what is the right thing to do. It Is not a question of mo tive, but of method. The issue is not which church is nearest right. The world needs all the churches. Spiritual educa tion Is the great object sought after. The education of mankind In the knowledge of spiritual laws, the successful adjust ment of all human relations to the Divine will, thi3 is the object, aim and end of all religion.. To do this work success fully we need all the churches. There are two principles in the world of religion and theology upon which there may be unity, namely, 'the Fatherhood of God' and 'the brotherhood of man,' expressed In any phrase. These comprehend all the ' principles of theology and religion which are needed as a basis, not for theo logical agreement, but for common work. I know of no religion which includes these two principles and reduces them to prac tice, that will not admit of co-operation in public work by all who profess it. . . "There are two principles which will save religion from overthrow during this crisis; namely, freedom and honesty. One of the "heaviest weights the churches are now carrying, and the one which is most Interfering with their prosperity is that of opinions. That Is, the. Insistence upon uniformity of opinions concerning theol ogy. That is in reality an insistence upon an impossibility, and Is, therefore, bound to fall. It has already failed. Therefore the basis of church membership should be shifted from belief to purpose." Then followed a plea for honesty, with Illustrations from the business world, the teacher, the physician, the lawyer. Concerning the minister, the . preacher salu: "The preacher is under a sacred obliga tion to proclaim the whole truth, not to pick and choose such truth as he shall think his people ought to hear. He has no right to reject a truth because it was not taught him at the seminary, or be cause it is not set forth In the authorities upon theology published by the book con cern bearing his denominational name. The channels of truth are not controlled by any finite trust. There is no denom inational monopoly of truth. The only authority binding upon the preacher Is the authority of his own conscience, en lightened by his own reason. This Is faith, and faith is reason resting upon God." In conclusion Mr.. Stone said: "The chasm botween the Intelligent and the popular thought about theology will soon be bridged, when the preacher is set free to preach the whole truth as it Is revealed to him, and the people are lib erated from creedal bonds, and left free to appropriate all the truth they can ap prehend. We want covenants, not creeds. Go back to Pilgrim days. Let the bond of union be a common purpose, rather than an Identity of opinions. Do not let us have one test for the ministers- and another for the people. Let us have lib erty enough to go around. We do not need to revolutionize Uie ecclesiastical world; we only need to Christianize it. We need onl yto 'let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works (not our accurate opinions), and glorify our Father who is In heaven. " FAREWELL SERVICES. Rev. W. O. Forbes Takes Leave of His Congregation. Rev. W. O. Forbes preached his fare well sermon yesterday morning to the congregation of the Forbes Presbyterian Church, after acting as pastor In all about 13 years. He spoke earnest words on the subject, "The Ideal Life." It Is about 17 years since Mr. Forbes began his work In the Alblna Presbyterian Church. His first pastorate extended over a period of 10 years, when he resigned to accept the place of synodlcal missionary of this state. At the time of his resignation, In order to show appreciation of his 10 years service as pastor, the name of the charge was changed to the Forbes-Presbyterian Church. After remaining In the missionary field for about three years, Mr. Forbes received a unanimous call to become Its pastor again, and he entered on his work under happy auspices. Recently some opposition having devel oped he resigned, but the congregation declined to accept the resignation by a large majority. Four members of the session then called for an 'Investigation of the church, when Mr. Forbes placed his resignation in the hands of the presbytery In such a form that It left no other al ternative but to accept. At the tneeting of the presbytery Mr. Forbes held In his possession a written protest against his resignation, signed by 75 members, but he would not allow it to be read, although urged to do so. Generally the members of the presbytery had no knowledge of the document's existence until the resignation had been accepted. Nearly every minister voting for the resignation-explained his vote and expressed high appreciation of the work of Mr. Forbes. He leaves the church in good condition financially and otherwise. Debts have been paid and about 125 members have been received Into the church during his last term as pastor. At tho services yesterday morning there were many ex pressions of regret that he was closing his pastorate. Next Sunday Rev. J. V. CASTOR I A iFor Infants and Children. v The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of MUligan will preach and declare the pul pit vacant. Presbyterian Ministers' Meeting. Rev. W. O.
