The Common Council hiis endeavored to maintain a strict impartiality in dealing with the tv.o parties who have been struggling to secure the contract for improving Fourth Mreet.

The asphalt offer was all right, Lut the council could not contemDlate the delay that might be caused by adopting that material, and so voted for the treated -ivood blocks. It will be about a month be fore the necessary preliminaries can be completed by the council, but it is known that Fisher & Thorsen have tanks and all other appliances for treating the blocks erected and a lot of the blocks already treated, and the improvement they prom ise shall be pushed with vigor from start to finish.

"The habit of touching a Chinaman has developed into a regular fad with the wo men," said a bright young woman yes terday, "and it would really surprise you to know how many women are rushing around trying to gently brush the clothes of a Chinaman while passing him on the street. It gives one good luck, you know. It helps one to realize one's wish In life, and gives, a sort of impetus to good for tune. At least the habit women now have of touching a Chinaman, as they call It, is based on this legendary Idea. Of course, they do It playfully. They even giggle when they do it, and seem to get a world of fun out of it. "I saw a young girl at one of the rail road stations a few evenings ago figure In a rather embarrassing incident on ac count of her ambition and her effort to touch a Chinaman. The Orientil had drifted into the station and was evidently bent on an out-of-town trip, and he was going at a rather rapid rate, probably fearing that he would miss his train. As soon as the girl spied him she jumped up and made a quick dart, evidently for th purpose of crossing the Chinaman's path at a certain point and Just brushing him as he passed. Of course, she would not dare- to look at the Chinaman. Here is probably where she made a mistake. At any rate, cither the girl or. the Chinaman erred. Both were walking rapidly, and each seemed to be Indifferent to the course of the other. She touched the Chin aman all right, and if the good luck inci dent to the act of touching is measured by the vigor and force of the touch, good fortune ought to shower on her whole family; It was a fierce collision. The girl was embarrassed, and from the capers cut by the Chinaman he evidently thought a freight train -had hit him. "Yes, Indeed, this business of touching a Chinaman is a regular fad now. and if you see a girl rushing wildly and aimless ly down the street, watch her and sec If she doesn't brush the clothes of a Mon golian gently in passing." .

SUTHERLAND BESTS PRINCIPAL HOOVER IN COURT. lilt Companion Testify He Didn't Yell "Ho-o-ver," and Thereby Disturb North Central School. School-boy evidence against that of his late preceptor occupied the attention of Municipal Judge Cameron yesterday. In the case where C. L. Hoover, principal of the North Central School, accused his former pupil. lC-year-old II, Sutherland, now attending the Portland Academy, with disturbing a public meeting the school children and teachers of the North Central School. January 31'. by using loud and boisterous language. Mr. Hoover tes tllled that, during a session of his school, Sutherland who was outside the school grounds, - yelled: "Ho-o-ver" In a dis respectful way. Sutherland denied hav ing done this, and the case ended by the Judge deciding in favor of the boy, as there was an element of doubt in the lattcr's favor. Mr. Hoover testified that he was about 175 feet from the school-house, and some little .distance away from the spot where Sutherland was standing, when He heard the boy cry: "Ho-o-ver," with a high note on the last syllable. "It was about 2 o'clock, and some of the pupils went to the windows," went on the witness. "It disturbed the school. There were Ice and snow on the ground at the time. Sutherland did not belong to my school. He had been a member of It." "Do you think the boy made his re marks for the purpose of disturbing the attention of the school?" asked Deputy District Attorney Gatens. who conducted the prosecution, while Judge Sweek and City Attorney Long appeared for the boy defendant. "Yes, sir." replied Mr. Hoover. "There was a crowd of boys present at the time." Charles Marias, janitor of the North Central School, testified: "I have been school janitor over there for three years, January 31, on the occasion named In the complaint. I was upstairs and I heard shouting and yelling outside. I went to a window and I saw the Sutherland boy In the crowd. Mr. Hoover told mo to go and arrest the boy. and I did so. I did not recognize the boy's voice when the other boys were yelling, and I did not say In the police station that the boy had 'hollered. " Miss Horton, one of the teachers at the North Central School, testified: "I heard the .boys yelling outside the school, Ho-o-ver.' , They were having fun pro nouncing the name in that way. Do I think it was done for the purpose of raising a disturbance? Yes, sir. I saw the Sutherland boy in the crowd, but could not recognize his voice. Mr. Hoover has not influenced me in giving my testi mony." Another teacher testified that when the boys began yelling outside, several of the pupils in her room ran to the windows and tried to look ouu It is against the rules, she stated, for children fo look out of any window at school. "When the smaller boys began to yoll," testified Kenneth Long, song of City At torney Long, "Sutherland told them: 'Cut that out, as Hoover has it in for me." I was standing within three feet of Sutherland at the time and he did not yell. There were about 20 boys In the crowd, and five or six of them yelled 'Hoover.' " "We went clown to Twelfth and Burn side streets to slide." testified Ormond Rankin, son of Police Commissioner Rankin." "Sutherland did not yell, and he said: 'Cut it out, boys.' " "Will you tell the names of the boys who did the yelling?" asked Mr. Gatens. "I will not. Even If I did know. I would not tell, because I would not like to peach on the gang." "What does peach on the gang' mean?" asked the Judge, in a puzzled tone. The boy explained that he would not like to betray confidence, but that after hav ing sworn to tell the truth, he would tell the boys' names if he knew them. He was then warned as to the nature of the oath he had taken. "I think I would tell If I had heard Sutherland calling names," concluded the witness, after a pause. II. Sutherland, the defendant, testified that he now attended the Portland Acad emy, that he is 16 years old, and then he proceeded: "There were about 25 boys present at Twelfth and Burnside streets, and we had gone there to coast- When the small boys, who were not in our crowd began to yell, I told them to cut it out. as Hoover was after me. I did not yell out his name. I did not notice who the boys were who yelled. A year ago I was blamed for yelling Hoover's name, but I did not do it then. I would tell the boys' names if I nkew them, al though Mr. Hoover has always been against me. He has been after me." City Attorney Long said: "It Is hu miliating to see the principal of a pub lic school on the witness stand, in such a case. No testimony except that of Mr. Hoover shows that Sutherland did any yelling. It is very much to be regretted that such a condition exists. I wish to explain that if the boy's father had not been one of my resular clients, I would not be here. Mr. Hoover has made a serious mistake. Why did he not arrest the crowd of boys? Why did he arrest one?" Mr. Gatens contended that the boy should be punished, and argued that not one of the boys In the case had had the courage to tell the truth as t6, the boys who had done the yelling. The Judge agreed with, the latter state ment made by Mr. Gatens, and stated that boys vmust not come to court "pre pared to shield the gang," but to tell the whole truth. The evidence, he MAKES CHILDREN BRAINY. Proof About Feedlnjr. It has been proved times without num ber that properly selected food will build up the brain. The testimony of a school teacher on this subject Is good. The let ter is long and only the important facts will be given. "While I was teaching school In VSS, a little girl In the household where I lived was very fond of Grape-Nuts and would cat all she was allowed. I noticed that she was a remarkably bright pupil. There were five other children, all of one family, that were so marked in their work. They were really the brightest family I ever knew, so I questioned to find what they were using. They replied, 'Only Grape Nuts.' I learned upon further Inquiry that this .was their chief diet for break fast and discovered that their luncheon consisted generally of Grape-Nuts with cream and a little fruit. "I had suffered from dyspepsia, head aches and general debility greatly, and, as I knew, my diet was not well se lected. I took up Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food and carried it to school for luncheon. I soon discovered a change in my con dition and founu that Grape-Nuts afforded more nourishment than bread, meat, eggs or anything that I could take in my bas keL After luncheon I would feel strong and bright for the afternoon's work while before I had frequently been half 111. "In the Spring of 1500 I went to college, rented a room and -boarded myself, sub sisting largely on Grape-Nuts, and I can not epeak too highly of the food as a brain nourisher. At the end of a year'3 schooling t obtained a position in one of the- ward schools In this, a college town, and am well and happy. "The wife of the college, principal tells, me that there Is no food that agrees with "her as well as GrapeNuts and that testi mony was repeated 'by a lady friend in my own home." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creels Mich. thought, was conflicting, and in giving the boy the benefit of the doubt the court would discharge him. COMING ATTRACTIONS.

It was the original inten tion of Hofmann's manager that he should give but one concert in this city during his present visit, but such a flood of re quests for another poured in that it was decided to grant them.
