.Mr. Kaxswoutiit Better. Sidney Rax
eworthy, the traveling agent of Neustadt
cr Bros., who some two months ago un
derwent a very critical operation for re
lief from paralysis, several pieces of bone
having been removed from his spinal col

moved from the hospital to his quarters
at Sixteenth and Couch streets a week
ago, and is able to get out and aboutin
a wheeled chair. His friends are mucn
pleased with the success of the opera
tion and the continued improvement or

his complete recovery In due time! Itos

thrown from a pad saddle while out rid
ing, has so far recovered from his In
juries that he is touring Montana. "When
he has occasion to go horseback riding he
uses only tho Mexican saddle now, ana
no horse can take a fall out of him.
Ko Jobs for Outsidd Teachers. A
Great many school teachers from all parts
of the country have taken advantage of
the closing of their schools for tlic holiday
season to visit Portland and enjoy city
life for a season. Many of them have
called on City School Superintendent Hig
ler, to discuss school matters and to in
quire in regard to the demand for teach
ers in the schools of this city, the pros
pect of there being vacancies in the corps
of teachers, and so on. As there are no
vacancies, and but a slim chance of any
occurring for some time, and as Professor
Rigler has a class of 18 pupil teachers,
some of whom arc eligible for situations,
he is not able to give any one an Idea
that a situation in the schools here is
likely to be available soon.
.Been- Gone CC Years. Jessie Metz, of
C9 Dorchester street, St. John. N. 15.,
writes to Mayor Rowe, seeking informa
tion in regard to tho whereabouts of
Charles Edward Calvert, who left St.
John about 1835, some CO years ago. She
has knowledge that he was in Portland
20 yours ago, and is very anxious to hear
from him or learn his present where
abouts. Any one knowing anything about
Mr. Calvert will confer a favor on Mayor
Rowe, and probably make Miss Metz hap
py, by Imparting the information. As
the chances of Mr. Calvert coming to
light are rather slim. It would probably
be well for the woman who has been wait
ing for him for 66 j-enrs to embrace the
iirst opportunity offered.
Nineteen Hundred Tax Sale. The
Sheriff v.'ill begin the sale of property
for delinquent taxes for 1900, at the
Courthouse next Tuesday morning. De
cember 31, at'lO o'clock, and will continue
the sale from day to day, until all prop
erty upon which the taxes for that year

act to amend an act entitled 'An act to
authorize County Judges and Clerics of
school districts to bid in property sold
for taxes,' " and approved February 23,

Ready in April. Although the contract
docs not call for the completion of the
Custom-House building until March 1.
there is a possibility that It may be ready
for occupancy some time in April, The
architect, Edgar M. Lmzarus, is very anx
ious to get the streets around the building
cleared of obstructions and cleaned up, as
re Idents In the neighborhood are weary
of the sight of high fences which have so
long obstructed their view, and he will
remove his olllce into a completed part
of tho building. A great many people will
be very glad when the fences are torn
down, tho house removed, tho streets
cleaned up, and the Custom-House allowed
to stand forth in all its magnificence.

a large area has been sown to Winter
wheat, which Is up and growing and looks
very line, and that the prospects for next

Intended to remain there until a favora
ble opportunity offers for digging them.
They will come out all right, as the tu

Six Months tor Stealing Blankets.
J. W. Andrews, accused of stealing two
pairs of blankets from a railroad camp
near St, Johns, pleaded guilty to stealing
one of them, but denied the theft of both.
The evidence adduced went to show that
Andrews had been stealing articles from
tho camp on previous occasions, and
pawning them in this city, for a small
moiety of their value. One 510 pair of the
blankets stolen last was found in a pawn
shop, where he had raised 23 cents on
them. He was sentenced to six months
in the County Jail.
K.ellt Wilet Bound Over. Kelly Wi
ley, a mulatto accused of being a prin
cipal in the Hotel Portland diamond rob
bery, was arraigned In the Municipal
Court yesterday, and waived examination.
His bail was fixed at $10,OCO, and he was
taken to the County Jail in the afternoon,
in default thereof. His counsel made no
objection to the size of the bail, which
Judge Cameron tald was equal to value
of the diamonds stolen.

Oregon Meats Are First Quality.
Good beef and good mutton and lamb are
no novelties in Portland, and the display
in the markets for tho holidays has been,
perhaps, of a little better quality than the
average. E. M. Johnson, a New York
butcher, who has been spending a few
days In the city, remarked to a meat deal
er that the meats sold here were really
oqual In quality and appearance to those
furnished the people of New York, and
he was very much astonished to learn
that none of it was stall-fed, out fattened
on native grasses, with only so much
grain as was procured by being pastured
in tho stubblcrtelds. He said he had seen
lambs nine months old fattened in this
way, which weighed 140 pounds, and were
as fine meat as could be wished. He was
somewhat surprised to notice that only
about 75 per cent of the carcasses bore
the stamps of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry. He thought It a pity that all who
slaughtered cattle on a large scale did
not have Government Inspection of their
meats, as it costs nothing, and Is a safe
guard to the health of the public, which
Is generally understood and appreciated.
Mr. Johnson left for home last evening,
and said that when he told his friends
in New York that Oregon produced Just
as good meats on grass and stubble graz
ing as the Eastern farmers produced by
stall-feeding, ho did not expect to be be
lieved. L.EWIS AND CLARK SUDSCniPTIONS. The
work of closing up ths subscriptions to
the Liewls and Clark fund is greatly de
layed by canvassers who do not turn in
the lists in their possession. The officers
having tho matter in charge wish notice
given for all outstanding lists to be turned
in at once, In order that the work of pre
paring for the meeting of stockholders
may go forward and everything be in
readiness for that meeting, which will be
tedious enough at best. If canvassers
have other subscribers in view, those
subscriptions may as well bo taken on
fresh blanks as upon blanks partially
filled, and It Is quite essential that all the
subscriptions that have been taken to
date should be filed either with Chairman
Corbett, at the First National Bank, or
with Secretary Reed, at 21G Washington

effect that there are plenty of ducks on all

They were beginning to clear out for the
South when the weather grew cool, but
the late tremendous storm along the Coast
has driven them back inland in swarms.
There are plenty of geese on some of the

TO AID THE BATH FUND.
riensaiijt Christmas Entcrtnlnment
at Arion Ilnll.
A very pleasant entertainment was
given at Arlon Hall last evening, for the
benefit of the bath fund. J. T. Wilson,
the well-known auctioneer, acted as chair
man, master of ceremonies and floor man
ager, besides auctioning off a nice lot of
young women to the highest bidders. The
subjects of the sale were neatly dressed,
and wore domino maslts, so that the bid
ders did not know whom they were bid
ding In. Each young woman, of whom
there were 14. represented some bbok, and
the bidder simply bid on the title. These
were: "An Original Belle," "Forest Lov
er," "When Knighthood Was in Flower."
"Oliver Twist," "Wearing of the Green,"
"Bitter Sweet," "Ginger Snaps," "Looking
Backward," "The Blue Veil," "Five Little
Peppers," "The Scarlet Letter," "Snow
Bound." "A Bow of Orange Ribbon" and
"Black Beauty."
Miss Carrie Johnston sang "For Old
Times' Sake," and brought down the
house, which encored her enthusiastically.
Sarah Averill and Eliso Cramer, two
young girls, entertained the audience with
several fancy dances, accompanied by the
tamborine. The remainder of the evening
was spent in dancing, the floor having
been prepared for the occasion.
The proceeds of the entertainment will
not be known until those engaged in sell
ing tickets make their returns. It is
thought quite a neat little sum will be
netted.

HOBOS WILL BREAK ROCK
CITY JAIL INMATES TV ILL BE GIVEX
A CHANCE TO TVOKK.
Montlny Mornlnjr the Roane TVI1I
March to Attnclc a Largre Pile
of Boulders.
The convicted petty thieves and va
grants of Portland will be Introduced to
a rock pile Monday morning. A vacant
quarter block, northwest corner of First
and Flanders streets, has been iecurcd by
the City Council free of charge, and en
closed with a tight 10-foot board fence.
About a carload of hard, ugly-lookins
boulders occupy the center of the enclo
sure, and sledges for about 40 prisoners
will be on hand in time for the City Jail
prisoners to put in a full week's work. If
their sentences run that long. Extra
guards will be put on by Chief of Police
McLauchlan, and the gang will be
marched to and fro between their quar
ters and their work, a distance of nine
blocks. It is the intention of the author
ities to work the prisoners about seven
hours a day.
For several years the Portland City Jail
has been looked upon as a haven of ref
uge by a large numbor of men who seem
to have lost what self-respect they ever
had, and simple confinement to such men
falls far short of punlshmenL Snug,
though dingy quarters, and two "square''
meals a day, are considered a "snap." es
pecially In the Winter time, and so many
of the same faces appear In the Municipal
Court, year after year. The chronic
drunk, dope fiend and professional hobo
have In many Instances, according to the
police, committed petty thefts and other
small infractions against the law, just tor
the sake of a term in the city prison. Nu
merous suspicious characters, against
whom nothing can be proven buf va
grancy, drift Into the city In the Fall, in
order to avoid the risk of having to work
for their living while the weather is cold
In more northern localities. To these a
term of CO qr 90 days In a warm room,
with Jolly company and with better food,
perhaps, than many worklngmen enjoy,
is a picnic, and the police have often been
twitted with the fact that these gentry
cannot be driven out of town by threats
of imprisonment.
This class of unwelcome visitors has
been more numerous than ever of late,
and Judge Cameron has often suspended
sentence on condition that the hobo would
leave town, eo that many who were de
serving of punishment have not received
their dues.
The Jail quarters below were already
overcrowded, and stern justice seemed to
be at the mercy of the vicious class. This
rock pile. It lsThought, will reduce the
population in the jail by making life in
It less of a "soft snap." Work Is whtit
the confirmed hobo desires to avoid, and
work he will be made to do. if ho receives
a sentence from Judgo Cameron for vio
lating a city ordinance hereafter. If he
refuses to work, means will be brought
to bear to coraiel him to work, though
what these means are to be will be de
cided when the exigency arises.
Councilman Bronaugh, who Is a member
of the health and police committee, said
yesterday that the rock pile had been re
sorted to In this city about 12 years ago,
for the purpose of making the city repui
slvo to bad characters. The stone-brcak-lng
was done In a quarry near the City
Park, and the prisoners were carried to
and from their work In a wagon. On this
occasion they will walc the short dis
tance necessary, and. ns their lfhe or
march will be through a district much
frequented by the hobo at. liberty, the
procession may have a quickening effect
on those vagrants whom the police havo
ordered to leave town.
TOLD HIS STORY WITH TEARS
He "Was Drnulc, Henderson Says, and
So Hope to Get Off."
H. Henderson, whom Patrolman Mallett
caught burglarising a North Sixth-street
saloon at 3 o'clock Christmas morning,
was arraigned in the Municipal Court
yesterday. He pleaded guilty, and, with
tears in his eyes, averred that he had
never been in trouble before and must
have been drunk; so, therefore, he knew
nothing about the matter. He spoke so
earnestly, and referred to his parents
with such emotion, that the Judge hesi
tated about binding him over, and so con
tinued the case until today, to look up
Henderson's record. The prisoner, how
ever, is known to the police, and the rec
ords show that he has been Imprisoned
once before In this city, during which
time he tried to escape. Judge Cameron
therefore gave him a chance to try the
effect of tears on the grand jury.
Officer Mallett said he was parsing by
the saloon of Washington & Jackson (col
ored), when he heard a crash of glass, and
found Henderson coming out of a window
he had just broken. In Henderson's arms
were a bottle of liquor and a box of ci
gars, while the cash register had been de
pleted of ?3 it had contained. Messrs.
Washington and Jackson were on hand to
corroborate Mr. Mallett's statements as
to the loss of tho money and sundries, ana
also to that of an overcoat Henderson Is
supposed to have taken.

MULTNOMAH MEN PRACTICE
Local riayers Get Ready to Tackle
Reliance Team.
The Multnomah football players will
have their hands full on New y ear's day,
when they tackle the husky men from
the Reliance Athletic Club, but tho ad
mirers of the home tam declare that
Reliance will have to fight hard for every
Inch of territory, while the more sanguine
say that Multnomah stands a'" gocd
chance to win. The Reliance eleven in
cludes Pete Smith. Ersklnc, and numerous
other ex-college stars. The team has
played both Berkeley and Stanford to a
standstill and lost to Olympia only by
tho narrowest of margins. The team
Is practicing diligently, for the players
realize that Reliance will be a tough
proposition and ttiat victory will not be
easy.
Although the Multnomah men are not
saying much about winning, they have
been doing a lot of hard practicing and
will have no fear in tackling such men
as tho Californlans. Th6re are plenty
of old college men on the Multnomah
eleven and the team has the weight and
speed to put up first-class footbalL The
game with the Reliance men Is arousing
no end of Interest among the club mem
bers and a great turn-out Is expected.
STUDENTS' BEER-DRINKING.
Prcnldcnt Prltchctt Explains His
Position.
BOSTON, Dec 27. President Pritchett,
of the Institute of Technology, has writ
ten to the Rev. William Tworth, of the
Methodist Ministers' Association, which
passed resolutions denouncing the inaug
uration of the German beer-drinking cus
tom Introduced at a recent "tcnoker" of
the junior class, in which he says:
"I regret that I have been put forward
as an advdeate of a beer culture. The
question comes before me 4n this prac
tical form: Shall students be allowed
to come together In Informal gatherings
for discussion of matters of technical
and gcneial interest. In buildings under
my control, with instructors prccsnt.
where an inexpensive and simple lunch
Is served, and the drinking Is restricted
to a moderate use of beer; or shall they
be sent to hotels and restaurants, where
expensive dinners are the rule and all
restriction? are removed? In my judg
ment, the first poeltlon Is the truthful
one, and that which will help the boys
to temperate and clean living.
"It has been a revelation to me to find
how little the combined churches of Bos
ton co'unt In their Influence on the char
acter and llvco of the constantly "growing
army of students who resort to Boston for
instruction. If your purpose Is to make
this influence more direct and more help
ful no one will welcome It as gladly as I."

Are accorded the apex of fame by tho
verdict of cultured society, and their basic
merits have for many years commanded
for them a price higher thar all others
and given them an Impregnable position
and prestige from which hostile competi
tion has been unable to dislodge them.
This is a significant and Infallible test of
their matchless excellence.
Many other manufacturers have ample
capital and facilities, can and do use good
materials, employing competent workmen,
and muko commendable efforts: yet they
fall to reach the perfection of the CHICK
ERING. In no other piano do you find that de
lightful touch, that phenomenal durabil
ity, and that joyous, melodious tone of Ir
resistible charm.
In the bass section the lowest notes on
most upright pjinos arc the poorest, but
Chickerings possess a superb bafs. sono
rous, pure and transparent. Not a note
on the whole range of the keybound but
that rings pure and clear and true.
Of course such pianos cost more than
others, but if you are a musician no other
piano will satisfy you. The same unsur
passed excellence of one Chickerlng Is
duplicated in all. There is no variation in
this Instrument.
Its praise Is sung by artists of the high

To place one In your home Is to have at
your service the finest achievement of the
