Baxut, Chance tor CaARissroii Prizes.
It is doubtful If Oregon will -win so
many medals and honors for the fruit
display at Charleston as were won at
Buffalo. Commissioner Dosch was rather
worried over the matter when the Jury
to make the awards on fruit exhibits was
organized and went to work on April 1. He
had on hand at that time only 30 apples
In good condition and half a box of Lady
apples. Some of these apples had been on
exhibition at Buffalo, anjl were beginning
to look father faded. He says: "Even
the Commissioners who are fruitgrowers
from the famous Ozark regions, and thos?
from Illinois, concede our apples to be
the best on earth. These apples, with the
exception of the Ben Davis, do not keep
more than three or four days when ex
posed, and have to be continually re
newed from cold storage, but they have
plenty of them." Mr. Dosch had expect
ed to receive some choice Oregon apples
before this letter was written, and adds
that he cannot expect to get any awards
If he has no fruit on exhibition, and that
no one will growl more or kick harder for
not getting medals than those who fall
to send the apples. When the letter was
coming West the fruit looked for was
going East. It probably reached Charles
ton in time to save, the honor of Oregon
and Oregon's fruitgrowers, who will no
doubt be anxiously .awaiting the result
of the Jury's award.
Woman Cheats Poor Chinaman. In a
neighborhood in the southern part of the
city a few blocks from the First-street
bridge across Marquam Gulch reside a
number of families, all old and respected
residents. A Chinaman has been in the
habit of making garden, putting in wood,
scrubbing, beating carpets and doing all
such Jobs for the people of this neighbor
hood for years, and as he is honest and
faithful, he is respected and kindly treat-,
ed by all his patrons. Recently a woman
who lived not far from this neighbor
hood called in the Chinaman In question
and told him to take up a carpet or car
pets, clean them and relay them. This
he proceeded to do in his usual careful
and painstaking style. A day or two af
ter he called on one of his old patrons
and asked her if she knew the woman he
had been working for. He was told that
she was a newcomer, comparatively, and
none of his friends was acquainted with
her. "Ah!" said he, "she is a bad, mean
woman. I took up her carpets, cleaned
them good, and put them down all right,
and then she say, 'Carpets no clean,'
and .will not pay me." The women of the
neighborhood feel that the Chinaman has
been shamefully treated, and advise him
to resort to the law, but he knows this
is not worth his while.
New "Machines for Weather Puint.
The Weather Department is. noted
for a progressive spirit, which keeps
the weather bureaus fully abreast of the
progress of the age in the matter of in
struments which will enable .an accurate
record of the weather to be kept as it
passes. Efforts are to be made to peer
further into the future and guess what
the weather coming is to be. A new rain
gauge has lately been- received by the
observer hqre, which has evidently been
made to order and specially adapted to
this climate. It Is known as the triple
register and tipping-bucket rain gauge.
It is an automatic, labor-saving mechan
ism, arranged so that when the bucket
attached Is filled it empties Itself and reg
isters three buckets. By this method of
registering, a tolerably fair estimate of
the amount of precipitation may be ar
rived at. An electric sunshine recorder
intended for exhibition purposes only has
also been added to the "weather plant"
of the bureau. As it' Is run by electricity,
it ought to be able to make a record of
the brief glimpses of sunshine occasion
ally visible here, but probably could not
catch enough to make a showing.
Advertising for Homeseekers. Sev
eral members of the Portland Board of
Trade have a plan for bringing literature
descriptive of the state within the reacn
of homeseekers. It is proposed to have
circulars from the various districts of the
Northwest arranged in boxes in the ho
tels, after the manner of those for railroad
folders. Outside districts could send in
pamphlets to the Board of Trade of this
city, which would distribute them in the
hotels. It is also proposed, for the use of
homeseekers, to have an information bu
reau, where property could be listed for
sale. These two plans will be considered
at today's meeting of the Portland Board,
and at the next meeting of the directors
of the Columbia Basin Board. The Port
land Board will meet tonight at 8 o'clock.
Fine Apples on Display. A number of
beautiful apples are on display at the
secretary's office of the State Board of
Horticulture, at S4G Washington street.
They were sent from Hood River by E. I.
Smith, president of the board. He sent
them in order to Inspire the other mem
bers of the board with respect for "Hood
River apples when they gather at the an
nual meeting today Heretofore A. H.
Carson, of Grant's Pass, has supplied the
meetings with apples, and with boasts of
Southern Oregon as an apple district. This
time Dr. Smith has checkmated him. The
apples are beautiful fruit. A woman asked
yesterday if there wereiot wax, and was
astonished when apprised of their real
ncss. Sticks Obstruct Sewer. An obstructed
sewer in Sixth street, between Harrison
and Hall streets, a day or two ago, raised
an uproar in that neighborhood, and the
city was obliged to send a gang of men
to dig down and open a 12-Inch terra cotta
sewer there. It was found that the ob
struction was caused toy two sticks of
wood, each about IS inches In length,
which some mischievous boy, probably,
had dropped down a manhole. One of
the sticks had aught in the opening of a
i branch and stopped the other, and Anally
Eewage had collected till the sewer was
choktd.

Plans for T. P. A. Convention. The
executive committee in charge of the ar
rangements for the T. P. A. National con
vention, to be held in Portland June 3 to
7. met Saturday evening at the Portland
Hotel. Those present were: David M.
Dunne, chairman; Hermann Wittenberg,
A. N. Smith. George W. Collins, Charles
Rosenfeldt. Frank P. King, John F. Beall,
S. Julius Meier, L. W. Carnaban and A.
H. Devers. The transportation committee
reported that arrangements were pro
gressing favorably for the Astoria trip,
and that the details would be completed
by next week. The programme committee
reported that in order to carry out the
fine programme of events outlined for the
week's entertainment, it would be neces
sary to raise from the .citizens of Port
land about $G00 more in subscriptions to
the fund. The hotel committee announced
that arrangements had already been made
at the hotels for all the accommodations
available, and that letters were coming in
daily from people wanting reservations
made for them during the convention
week. The decoration committee reported
that large sales had been made of T.
P. A. flags, and that the city would be
better decorated than it has even been for
a similar event. Judge W. M. Cake was
added to the executive committee. In place
of Otto Guthmann, who has resigned on
account of his leaving the city. E. Shel
ley Morgan, the secretary of the T. P. A.
order, is at present very ill with pneu
monia, but favorable reports were re
ceived of his progress, and within a week's
time his associates hope to see him back
at his post in good health.
Old Men Recalx. Bctish Pranks. A
group of old residents recalled some old
time reminiscences yesterday, while dis
cussing the reinstatement of the three
High School students suspended for slight
ly overdoing a Joke. They all acknowl
edged that In the days of their youth
they had been guilty of boyish follies.
One recalled a watermelon-stealing epi
sode, which, he said, had been forgotten
by everybody but himself, which he had
never ceased to regret, and had been try
ing ever since vainly to forget. Another
told of Joining with two well-known citi
zens, now many years dead. In an expedi
tion to steal peaches from the orchard
of Thomas Dryer, at the corner of First
and Morrison. Peaches were scarce In
those days, and Mr. Dryer had a number
of fine trees in his garden at the place
mentioned, which was surrounded by a
wire-netting fence, but they managed to
fill their pockets with peaches and make
their escape. The two who are dead may
have regretted the affair, but the survivor
did not seem troubled about It. A man
cannot go on regretting trifling peccadil
loes for 50 years; if he did. there would
be but little Joy in life for him.
Old Soldiers Have a Grievance. An
old soldier selling pens from a stand on
the street was delighted to see in the
crowd his eloquence had gathered around
him on Saturday an old comrade, whom
he had not seen for some time. They
got into conversation as soon as the crowd
had dispersed, and the street vendor found
that his old friend had been living in
Tillamook City of late. "What kind of a
town is Tillamook?" he asked. "One of
the best in Oregon, and the prettiest in
all Oregon," was the reply. "How about
license over there; do they change much?"
"Oh, license is high enough there; they
charge all they can." "Would they let an
old soldier do business there without pay
ing license?" "Not much. They care no
more for an old soldier there than they do
in Portland, and this is about the worst
place there Is In that respect." It Is hoped
that these old soldiers were prejudiced
and pessimistic, and inclined to take a
gloomy view of the situation, in that
neither Portland nor Tillamook are so
black aa they would make out.
Recalls Days of Horse Cars. Clement
Benlteau, who for four years and a half
held the position of chief engineer on one
of the bobtail cars which navigated First
street on the Holladay Railway, the first
street railway In this city, some 20 years
ago, was strolling around town a day or
two ago, and met a few of the old patrons
of the Jlne. He is 82 years of age, but
still hale and active, and would pass for
a man of CO. He tells some Interesting
stories of his adventures and mishaps on
the road, the most thrilling of which is
one about the old mule he was driving at
one time stumbling and falling in a heap
in front of the car, and the prompt action
on his part in applying the brake, which
saved the car from being shipwrecked and
the passengers from being scared to death,
as well as preventing the mule from being
ground to sausage meat under the car.
Mr. Benlteau is now living In retirement
on the East Side, but at a pinch, If neces
sary, could again take up the lines and
the brake and navigate a car over that
route on the darkest night.
Dreams He Gets 'Whipped. An ex
tremely reserved, quiet, almost timid, cit
izen, of gentle voice and manner, who
would not quarrel or speak rudely to any
body except under the most Intense provo
cation, astonished a number of his friends
yesterday by stating that he was much
troubled by disagreeable dreams. Every
night he dreamed of quarreling and fight
ing with -several persons, and the worst
of it was that he almost always got the
worst of it. He said that the night before
he had dreamed of having a terrible en
counter with a colored waiter in a restau
rant where he sometimes dined, and that
"he was so badly whipped by the negro
that he still felt lame, sore and bruised
all over. He says he Is going to consult
with a doctor and see if he cannot find
some medicine which will make him
dream of whipping the other fellow at
least half the time, and. If this cannot bo
accomplished, he wants the dream racket
stopped altogether. There Is no fun In it
for him the way 1t is being run now.

ORIENTAL MARKET DULL
No Demand at Present tor Pacific
Coast Lumber.
The market In the Orient for Pacific
Coast lumber is languid at present. Mer
chants over there have supply sufficient
to last them several months, according
to letter advices. The advances in prices
since December, dictated by the lumber
combination of the American Pacific
Coast, has imparted the lassitude to the
Oriental market.
Prices are now $2 and $3 per thousand
higher than they were in December. Ori
ental merchants do not think the combi
nation will last, and are waiting for it to
collapse before entering thejnarket.

PLEASED A BIG HOUSE
STUART COMPANY MAKES A HIT AT
BAKER THEATER.
Renewed Snccess of "Under Two
FlaBa" at Cordray's "The Tam
ing? of the Shrew."
It has been a long time since so good a
company as that headed by Ralph Stuart
has been seen in Portland. Certainly no
such an organization ever played a long
engagement here, and the announcement
that the season which opened at the
Baker Theater last night with "By Right
of Sword" will continue for 10 weeks will
be very welcome to the people who com
posed the two big crowds' which filled the
theater yesterday afternoon and evening.
The company is not large, but its lack
of numbers is more than made up by the
excellence of Its members, not one of
whom Is not possessed of far more than
ordinary dramatic ability, while the lead
ing players aro more deserving of the
fame that has preceded them. There is an
caso and finish to the work of the com
pany that can only be attained by good
actors under competent direction, and the
smoothness extends to scenery and cos
tumes as well as to individual and collect
ive effort. The audience was not slow to
perceive that It was listening to something
Teally worth while, and five minutes after
the curtain was up it was in warm and
enthusiastic sympathy with the company.
After that applause and laughter kept a
running acocmpanlment to the action of
the play, and every falling curtain was
followed by half a dozen energetic calls.
"By Right of Sword" is a curious com
bination of melodrama and comedy, or
perhaps may be better described as a
melodrama solo with a comedy obligato.
The plot concerns the fortunes of Dick
Hamilton, an adventurous young New
Yorker, who goes to Russia in, quest of
a strenuous existence, and, finding that
such a life has Just been abandoned by a
Russian officer whom he resembles, steps
into the deserted character, for better or
for worse, as the other man happened to
have due him. It Is mostly worse for a
time. The Russian Chief of Police, a
Prince whose name ends in "ski," is as
sassinated, and the young man whose life
the New Yorker has taken up is sus
pected of his murder. The wife of the de
parted official is smitten with the Ameri
can, or rather his departed double, and he
further finds himself a member of a ni
hilist society whoso members are watched
by the imperial forces. So in a twinkling
he Is mixed up in a network of plots and
counterplots, and finds himself face to
face with the whole Russian secret police.
The manner in which he overcomes all
these troubles, whips a bully who has
challenged his predecessor to a duel, traces
the murder of the head of the Police De
partment to the officer's wife, wins the
sister whom he inherits with his charac
ter of Lieutenant, and finally saves the
Czar's life, and, disclosing his true char
acter, gets back under the American flag,
is. calculated to rouse patriotism from its
deepest depths, and it Is not surprising
that the house went wild last night.
Mr. Stuart is an actor of fine stage pres
ence and exceedingly pleasing manner,
and he entered so thoroughly into the
spirit of the character last night that ho
had his audience with him all the time.
He was Just the sort of a slap-dash hero
that is the idol of a well-regulated audi
ence, and he gives a touch to the com
edy scenes that Is especially refreshing.
Lansing Rowan, whose work Is well
known In Portland, had a part last night
which gave her a limited opportunity, but
her grace and cleverness were not con
cealed beneath it. What little she has to'
do she does admirably, and received In
the course of the evening many evidences
that the house was full of her admirers,
old and new. '
Elizabeth Stewart, a young woman of
pretty face and figure and winning per
sonality, played a (Russian girl with much
spirit and charm; Frank Sheridan made a
competent villain as Major DevinskI, Louis
Morrison as Prince Bllbasoff, J. C. Fenton
as Prince Tueskl, Robert Lawrence as the
American Consul, Charles Clary as Lieu
tenant Easaieff, Louis Frohoft as Lieuten
ant Gradlnske and Arthur Garrolds as
Lieutenant Weiswach all did good work.
Ernest Hope contributed as pretty a bit of
character work as Bennett, an old servant
of Hamilton's, as one sees in a season.
Catherine Countiss makes an imposing
Russian Princess, and the remainder of
the company is all that It ought to be.
The play is sumptuously staged, and the
costumes of the women are very hand
some. It will run all the week, and
should draw crowds all the time.
"UNDER TWO FLAGS."
Renewed Snccess of the Shirley Com
pany's Hit of Last Week.
"Under Two Flags," which made such
a hit at Cordray's a week ago, was again
presented at that theater last night to a
house as large as that of the opening per
formnce. The play was as much of a suc
cess as formerly. Every climax and the
drama Is full of them was received with
cheers, and the great sand storm called
forth a mighty burst of enthusiasm. The
company gave a smgother performance
than on the opening night, and the pro
duction, which will run until- the middle
of the week, will be found well worth
going to see.
"THE TAMING OF THE SHREW."
Charles
B. Hanford Makes
Fine
Petruchlo.
Charles B. Hanford, who Is one of the
few actors of the present day who are not
misfits in Shakespearean roles, gave a
performance of "The Taming of the
Shrew" at the Marquam Saturday after
noon and evening, which, so far as his
work was concerned, was fully deserving
of the large patronage it received. Mr.
Hanford is an actor of fine voice and
figure, and he went slashing through the
scenes that are given to Petruchlo, the
tamer, with a humor and an overpowering
air that were good to see. Mr. Hanford
makes a rollicking comedy of the piece,
giving to Petruchlo that character of a
man who Is thoroughly enjoying himself,'
and who masks a kind heart behind a
rough exterior, rather than making him
the bluff, forbidding cavalier that has
been the conception of others who have
essayed the part. In every act he finds
opportunity of showing to the audience
how true and how great a humorist Is the

master of -all great dramatists and the
auditor leaves the house convinced that
there is pleasure in Shakespeare for oth
ers than scholars.
The third act was particularly strong,
and the process of taming, as demonstrat
ed by Mr. Hanford, kept the house in con
vulsions most of the time.
The support Is not adequate.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"Nathan Hale" at tke Mardnam To
night. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater
Howard Kyle and his excellent company
will open an engagement. of three nights,
presenting Clyde Fitch's historical drama,
"Nathan Hale.' "Nathan Hale," as pro
duced by Howard Kyle, will be one of the
strong dramatic treats of the season. It
is from the pen of the most gifted play
wright of our day, Clyde Fitch, whose
successes, "Beau Brummel," "Barbara
Freitchie," "Sapho," "Moth and the
Flame," "The Climbers" and "Lover's
Lane" have won for him a .reputation ex
celled by no other American dramatist.

Grand Theater for one night only, next

charm it is promised that the new pro
duction, "When Reuben Comes to Town,"
will prove one of the best musical come
dies seen in this city. Seventeen of New
York's beautiful chorus girls comprise
the chorus, and their many charms are
conducive to the signal success of this
comedy. In the matter of stage garniture
and scenic equipment everything Is car
ried in its entirety, leaving nothing to be
desired, even by the most fastidious play
goer. The Frawieya.
The announcement that Daniel Frawley
and his company will appear at the Mar
quam Grand Theater next Friday night
for an engagement of five nlghtswith
Saturday matinee, has been hailed with
delight by local playgoers. Mr. Frawley
has, as usual, surrounded himself with
an excellent company, in which many new
faces will be eeen, as well as the old
ones. During the engagement Mr. Fraw
ley will produce William Gillette's famous
romance of the Confederacy, "Secret Ser
vice." This play Is one of the most pro
nounced successes ever known In the an
nals of the American stage, and was also
received with enthusiasm in Englnnd,
France and Australia. It has frequently
been said by competent critics that "Se
cret Service" Is the best piece of work
ever produced In this country. As an ex
ample of fine dramatic construction, it has
never been surpassed.
LOAFERS IN A FIGHT.
Victorious Scrapper Rnns Gauntlet
of Big: Crowd of Spectators.
Two men, one of whom had evidently
been drinking heavily, engaged In a fist
fight at Fourth and Burnslde streets yes
terday afternoon, which nearly had eeri
ous conBoquences for the Intoxicated per
son. The men had been drinking together
in a neighboring dive, and in some way
became engaged in a quarrel. The
drunken man, who appeared to be a work
ingman, was cut about the face and head,
and the other, a habitue of Whltechapel,
attacked him viciously. In the street the
fight was recommenced and about 500 per
sons gathered around to witness it. Some,
noticeably those in the rear of the crowd,
wanted to mob the loafer, but none of
them took a step in that direction until
a small stevedore, who was returning
home from his work, stepped up and grap
pled with him. The man from Whlte
chapel, although he was twice the size of
his opponent, fled down Fourth street with
the crowd at his heels. In the next block
he encountered another worklngman, also
of diminutive stature, who rapped him
on the ear, but failed to drop him. A
newsboy tried to trip him, but he contin
ued his flight until he reached a dive at
Fourth and Davis streets. The crowd fol
lowed him, but after he had passed the
bar no trace of him could be found. Pa
trolman Patton arrived soon afterward,
but nobody In the dive could tell him any
thing about the fellow.
The man who got the worst of the fight
was taken to the police station, and his
injuries were dressed. He refused to give
his name or to make any charge against
his assailant, as, he said, he had to leave
the city at onco and he did not wish to be
held as c witness.

as representative nor as elabprate as It
should be.

sent to Buffalo and Charleston. Mr.

material at Charleston, and will probably
add It to the exhibits The perma
nanent exhibit is the creation of Mr.

an inconspicuous place there, however,
and was moved to its present location,
where it is supported by public subscrip
tion. S. B. CATARRH CURE

Hair Grows Luxuriantly.
Any one can have nice hair If he or sha
haa- not dandruff, which causes brittle,
dry hair, falling hair and baldness. To
cure dandruff It Ii necessary to kill tho
germ that causes it, and that Is just what
Newbro's Herplclde does. Cornelius Grew,
Colfax, Wash., says:
"One bottle of Herplclde completely
cured me of dandruff, which was very
thick; and it has stopped my hair from
falling out." It makes hair soft and glos
sy, as silk; delightful odor and refreshing
hair dressing. It will positively make hair
grow abundantly, and kills the dandruff
germ.
