Taken Back to Her Home. After passing the night In the police station, waiting on Instructions from her relatives, Anna Simms, 10 years old, was taken back to her home at McMInnvllIe. year terday, by her father. Tuesday night the girl's father sent a telephone message from McMInnvllIe to the police station in this city, asking that his daughter, Anna Simms, be detained when she arrived at the Terminal depot, as she had run away from home. When the. little girl stepped from the train she was recognized from the description which had been furnished, and was taken in charge by Detectives Ford and Cordano. She insisted that she had come to Portland to attend school, but beyond this would not say anything more. Mrs. Woods, the police matron, took charge of the girl for a trolley car ride around the city. "My! This Is grand. I've never been In cars like those be fore," said the little girl, and she smiled with delight. Early In the afternoon her father arrived and the two hid an ani mated conversation. Mr. Simms after ward stated that he had nothing to say. except to state that his daughter had left home, unknown to him, to visit a relative In this city, where she proposed to attend school. He slid he wished his daughter educated at home. Paid Your Water Rate? A consider able number of water consumers are lia ble to find the city water shut off tomor row, on account of their water rate not being paid. The water rates have come In very slowly since April 1, and Instead of the usual big rush to pay about the 9 th and 10th, there were very few callers, and only about half of the 10,000 consum ers hid paid tftelr rates up to last night. Today is the last day of grace, and if all the remaining 5000 consumers should call at the office today, it would be practical ly impossible for them all to pay. The inflexible rule of the Water Committee is to shut off the city water from all con sumers .who have not piid by the even ing of the 10th, so it seems highly prob able that tomorrow quite a number will And "the wheel at the cistern broken," metaphorically. Probably the unpleasant weather has had something to do with the unusual dllatoriness this month, but there is always a very generil tendency to delay paying water rates till the last moment. fc Monet For the "Schools. County Su perintendent Robinson is apportioning a sufficient amount of money among the schools of Multnomah County to enable them to be kept open for the remainder of the school year. The amount of money available for school purposes is ample to meet the requirements of all the different districts, so that no school in Multnoman County need be closed early this year for lack of funds to continue It. A con servative estlmite of the public funds of the county for school purposes for the ensuing school year is not less than $12 per capita, about one-third more than has been available for several years.

All persons who ride their wheels on bicycle pats are required by law to pay the tax of $L Last yeir hardly 30 per cent of people who own bicycles paid the tax, and yesterday an official re marked that unless interest is awakened among wheelmen for bicycle paths, he did not think over $2000 would be taken In this year from the sale of bicycle tigs. German Sailors Sing at Institute. German songs and quartets, sung in German, by members of the foreign ships now In port, formed one of the Interest ing features of the song social given last night at the Seamen's Institute. The concert-room was crowded, and three cheers were given for the ladles who had assisted In getting up the programme, and for William Barr, one of the insti tute assistants, who left last night to ac cept a position In New York City.

Seller & Co., who went over to Germany In December last on business, arrived home on Tuesday last. He says they had a very mild Winter all over Europe, but he did not travel around much, being very busy mostof the time. He says there is great depression In industrial conditions in both Germany and England, which started In about a year and a half ago, and still continues. The depression is worst in England, owing to the continued strain on account of the Boer War. Mr. Lowcngart came across from Southampton to New York on the Kronprlnz, the record-breaking steam ship, and as is usual in March on the At lantic, experienced a stormy passage. The great liner forced her way through the heavy seas, but pitched and rolled In a way that was trying to those who suf fer from seasickness. Mr. liowengajt Is looking well after his Winter abroad, and says he left M. Seller In good health and looking forward to making a visit to Portland before long. Elks Plan Salt Lake Trip.

The Mormon Tabernacle, which has never before been granted for any such purpose, has been secured, as a place In which to- hold meetings, and a street-car track is being laid within a short distance of the Tabernacle. E. W. Rowe, secretary of a committee appointed to make necessary preparations for the trip, is In Salt Lake now for the purpose of arranging for the reception of the Oregon delegation and to secure" quarters for them while there.

Wise, Twenty-fourth and Marshall streets, to organize a society which shall have for Its object trained nurses visiting among the poor without charge.

Dr. Wise, this motion was passed: "Re solved, That the City Board of .Charities cordially Indorses the plan on foot look ing to the establishment of systematic visiting by trained nurses among the poor, and that it pledges its hearty co-operation In every possible way."

Hard Trip by a Portland Boy. A re markable example of pluck and endurance on the part of a former Portland boy, George I. Dove, has Just come to light In a letter received from John Hasey, from Dawson, Yukon Territory.

The presentation of a Western melo drama, "The Denver Express," at Cor dray's Theater last night, was witnessed by a good-sized audience. The play has plenty of action, and there is notone quiet moment in it, from the time of the Indian massacre at the fo'ot of Red Butte, Colo., where plenty of powder is burned, and hand-to-hand combats enliven things. These events occupy the first act The principal characters are taken by Harry M. Holden as Deadwood Dick and G. B. Edwards as Gilson Payne, afterward Lord Tynemouth, and the succession of quar rels between these two is lurid from start to finish. At first the villain triumphs and prospers In his wickedness. The truly exciting moment in the play occurs in the second scene of the third act, when the flight of the Denver express As portrayed. The bad man of tho play places an ob struction on the track to wreck the ex press, when his perfidy is discovered by a ubiquitous railroader, but the bad man throws the other man on the track to be cut to pieces by the advancing engine. In the nick of time, however, a fair maiden suddenly bounds across the stage and not only removes the obstruction from the rails, but saves the railroader who has been left to meet death. Just as the express train dashes along. Happier scenes crowd each other in a restaurant at the San Francisco depot, In the fourth act. where the secrets of the restaurant business are given away with reckless prodigality. Then follows a com bat between the hero and the bad man, first with revolvers, then bare fists, and ultimately knives. The bad man is led oft to Jail by T. C. McDonough, Hiram Gar vey, the Sheriff of Cool County. Katherlne Crego as Poppy was a bright, Interesting heroine. The play will run every night until Saturday, including the Saturday matinee.

FAIR PROSPECTS BRIGHT JOHX BARRETT ENTHUSIASTIC OVER 1005 EXPOSITION. Postponement of St. Louis Enter prise to 1004 Will Assist Lewis and Claj-U Centennial. Ex-MInlster to Slam John Barrett, who is now Commissioner-General to the Ori ent for the Louisiana Purchase Exposi tion, arrived lA Portland yesterday after noon, on his way to represent the St. Louis enterprise In the Oriental coun tries. He stopped off here on private busi ness and to confer with the authorities of the Lewis and Clark Centennial, Amer Paclflp Exposition and Oriental Fair, and Secretary Reed arranged with Mr. Bar rett to meet the Lewis and Clark direc tors tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Saturday Mr. -Barrett will go to Seattle to address a public meeting arranged by the Chamber of Commerce of that city, and Monday evening he will address the Portland Chamber of Commerce. He will leave in a week or 10 days for San Fran cisco, and from there will call In the steamship China for the Orient April 23. To a reporter who saw Mr. Barrett at the Portland Hotel last evening he spoke enthusiastically of the prospect for a suc cessful Lewis and Clark celebration. "The Lewis and Clark Exposition should benefit in every way from the Louisiana Purchase Exposition," said "he. J'The Midwinter fair In San Francisco, held Immediately after tho Chicago exposition, was a marked success, both in attendance and In financial returns. Likewise the Lewis and Clark Exposition, coming soon after the St. Louis World's Fair, which will undoubtedly surp'ass In all respects that held at Chicago, should be a pronounced and unqualified success. "If the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Is postponed until 1901, as may be done out of deference to the wishes of foreign na tions and as Congress Is undoubtedly will ing to do in view of the advantages- that will accrue to the United States In Inter national commerce and amity, such post ponement need not and will not Inter fere with the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905. In fact, the former will be more helpful to the latter If held In 1904. than In 1903. If at first thought this reason ing might not "seem to be logical. It will on second thought and upon full consid eration of all points at stake appear jus tified. In other words, the holding of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition In 1U01 should be one of the principal agencies for the complete success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, especially in the matter of securing comprehensive Oriental and other foreign participation and of ob taining a large selected variety of the test home exhibits at the smallest ex pense, as well as providing an Incompar able means of advertising. 'It would hardly be fitting here for me to discuss all these considerations before I have met the directors or tne lwis ana Clark Exposition, with whom I am to have a conference on many matters which concern the welfare of both undertakings. Later they can be made known, and I am sure that there will be unanimous agree ment that a postponement of the St Louis World's Fair to 1904 should not In jure the prospects ot the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905. Having at stake on the one hand the Interests of the Louisi ana Purchase Exposition as Its Commissioner-General to the Orient, and on the other hand a keen desire as a resident of the Pacific Northwest for the success of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, I hope that I may bo able to make some sug gestions and recommendations of value. "For six months the responsibility has devolved upon mc of conducting diplo matic negotiations with foreign govern ments, particularly thorn of the Orient, for their participation at St. Louis, and hence I am quite familiar with their at titude towards expositions. It now re mains for mo to follow up these negotia tions by confirming ln,person to the coun tries of Asia and Australasia the Invita tions of the United States and 6t the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and to confer with such governments In regard to the plan and scope of their participa tion. I would add that the president and directors of the Lewis nnd Cla'rk Exposi tion are to be congratulated on what they have accomplished. Portland has certain ly done herself credit In subscribing so liberally for It. If other sections of the Northwest and Congress will do their part. Its realization should meet the full est hopes of Its sponsors." $2500 FOR BAND CONCERTS. Committee Starts Canvass far Sum mer Manic In Parks. The committee on band concerts recently appointed by the Lewis and Clark Civic Improvement Association, met In the ofilce of Julius L. Meier yesterday and perfected plans for the raising of $2500 to be ex pended on public band concerts during the coming Summer. F. B. Gibson was appointed chairman of the subscription committee, and he will begin the work of canvassing Immediately. The committee adopted a uniform subscription scale, in which an estimate was made of the amount which will be asked of each and every business hous In the City of Port land. This system will expedite the work of subscription, and the amounts asked from the various establishments will be moderate. If the committee succeeds In raising $2500, 20 concerts, at the rate of two per 'week, will be given, commencing on the evening of June 25. On Wednesday evenings the concerts will be given in the Plaza block, and on Sunday after noon In the City Park. This will give all classes of people an opportunity to hear the open-air concerts, and it will be of especial benefit to worklngmen and others whose Sunday Is their only day of rest and recreation. Efforts will be made to secure new bandstands and seating accommodations In the park, so that both the musicians and their audi ence may pass the time in comfort. A band consisting of 30 pieces will be secured, and 12 selections will be rendered at each concert. Public-spirited citizens who believe that Portland should possess every up-to-date attraction will not fall to subscribe to this free concert fund, for they realize what such enterprises mean to the city. In all the progressive cities of the East and 3Iiddle West, open-air concerts are fashionable, and there Is no reason why Portland should not entertain Its citi zens and guests as others do. The subscription committee will begin work Immediately, and will not stop un til tho $2500 Is guaranteed. The City & Suburban Railway Company and the Portland Railway Company have each agreed to subscribe $150. With this sum as a nucleus, the committee hopes to raise the remalnlng-$2200 without any ex j ertlons or unnecessary delay. IT'S A STRONG PLAY. TVhr Ralph Stnart Selected "By Right of Sn-ord." The fact that Ralph Stuart, whose com pany will open an engagement at the Baker Theater Sunday afternoon, has se lected "By Right of Sword" as an opening bill, Is an evidence that this is an unus ally strong play, for all the best and latest New York successes are at 3Ir. Stuart's disposal, and many of them will be presented during his engagement here. A special arrangement has been mado with the New York "clearing-house." where playwrights and managers transact busi ness, by which whatever late plays Mr. Stuart desires can be given him. and he will make careful selections. This does not apply of course to dramas given es pecially to stars or companies the first season, but covers many of those which are now being given In the East, and guarantees 4hat everything produced wjJl be of high class. Already the scenery for "By Right of Sword" has been nearly completed, under the direction bf a repre sentatIveof Mr. Stuart, and it is promised that the first act of the play will sur prise even people who are used to first nights in New York, theaters. FOR SUNDAY NIGHT TEA. Mrs. Miller Lectaren on Good Tklngrs for aa Informal Feast. The subject of Mrs. Ellen R. Miller's lecture at the Cooking School yesterday was "Mulled Drinks and Good Things for Sunday Night Tea," and a number of these dainties she prepared and served as a practical demonstration to the class. The "mulled" drinks. It may be well to explain, are refreshing and nourishing beverages for hot weather, the recipe for each one of which contains well beaten raw eggs. "The Sunday night tea," Mrs. Miller said, "has become In many homes an ac cepted form of entertainment, delightful because of Its Informal and personal na ture. It would seem, that there are par ticularly good reasons for heeding the Biblical commands to hospitality on this day of rest. There Is in every city a large and growing number of young men and women, yes, and we might also say men and women of mature years, who must needs live without the atmosphere of a home. To be sure of a welcome, to find warmth and cheer and companion ship In the borne of some Christian, cul tivated people, would prove to such as these no small blessing In disguise. And what is a home for if it is not to use In doing the greatest possible amount of good, just as with, every other fortunate possession that falls to our lot? "Let the Sunday dinner be essentially the family mid-day reunion of the week, but the Sunday night tea be not alone for the inmates of tho home, but likewise for the guests within its walls. The fore most grace of the home Is hospitality, true horpltallty, the giving of self to, one's guests, not mere formal entertainment, and at no other tihie Is there a better op portunity for the exercise of this hospi tality than at the Sunaay evening tea. "Let the supper be light, well planned, daintily cooked, and above all simple, with but few dishes. Simplicity Is an art never more In demand than on this oc casion. One of the besetting sins of our land, and a common mistake of the young hostess. Is to provide too great a pro fusion of food. Simplicity Is always ap preciated by the sterner sex. If one dish Is good and to his liking a man would greatly prefer enough of that to a taste of many. "The chafing-dish Is a great aid In the preparation of the Sunday supper. Oys ters and crabs, cooked In many different ways, daintily made dishes, the Newburg mixtures, eggs In many different forms, salads, sandwiches and fruit preserves are all appropriate." Following are some of Mrs. Miller's recipes fQr hot-weather drinks, which the members, of the class voted delicious: Mulled coffee Beat one egg in a large cup, then stir in a little milk or cream and one square of sugar. Pour In slowly, stirring all the time, hot coffee. Serv hot or cold. Egg lemonade Three lemons to one pint of water and two eggs to one lemonade. Mulled milk and buttermilk Made by adding well-beaten eggs. The lesson next Wednesday afternoon will be the last of the course, and the sub ject will be "Frozen Dainties." PRESBYTERY IN SESSION.
