Cat Thrives at Permanent -Exhibit. Mr. Thomas Cat eats rats. He is now a permanent attache of the exhibit at 246 "Washington street So many rats is he eating that his sides are waxinc fat. Holes and crevices which admitted his lean' body when he made his debut in the exhibit no longer permit his passage. But he Is not so fat as he might be had it not been for a mishap. Last Sunday he caught a big rodent and crawled through a small hole in order to dine In quiet. So far were his sides dis tended -when he had finished his repast that the hole which had let him in would not let him out. Thomas was in a ter rible fix. He had to starve himself be fore he could escape. The presence of Mr. Cat among the rodents has scatterd dis may amonb them. They are not nearly so light-bear ted as they were, and they flee in terror at everybody's approach. Some are fierce fighters, but Thomas has nine lives. The greatest picnic of the rats is on the -walls where grain stalks are hung up. A5 Thomas cannot climb a bare wall he waits until the rats come down. Thom as found his happy home through the agency of an advertisement in The Ore gonlan. The advertisement brought many candidates. Thomas is the Jho!ce pick of them all and reigns over his new domin ions with kingly majesty. Feast of Passover Observed. The feast of -the Passover, which is being ob served this week in Jewish circles, is espe cially a home 'festival. It is introduced by the reading in the home on the even ing prior to the festival of a special ritual giving an account of the departure of the children of Israel from Egypt. Among the features of this home celebration is the placing of a cup of wine on the table, about which are seated the members of the family. It Is placed" there for tne prophet, Elijah, whose coming Is awaited as the prophet of redemption. This cus tom probably arose during the days of the persecution of Israel, -when Israel's hopes were centered upon the coming of the time when violence would no longer be Inflicted upon the Jew by his fellow man and persecution would cease to be. The feast Is called the feast of unleavened hread because, during the seven days of the festival, unleavened bread is eaten 4n remembrance of the bread hurriedly prepared at the time of the exodus of the" Jews in the days of the Judean common wealth. The passover was also observed as a Springtide festival. ' What Is City Physician's Duty? Either the law is wrong. Dr. James Dickson is wrong, or the Health Depart ment neglected Its duty. Lillian Veatch, who has recently recovered from an at tack of diphtheria, wished to re-enter school and offered the written testimony of D. Walker, M. D., and James Dick son, M. R! C. S., that there was no longer any danger of contagion. Principal Gregg refused to accept their testimony unless it were Indorsed by the City Physician. The doctors "were quite Indignant that their testimony would not be accepted, but upon referring to the city ordinance found that the Indorsement of the City Physi cian was required. Dr. Dickson states that the Health Department was notified of the case, but that no one came to see if it was quarantined or to see the child before the quarantine was lifted; also that the City Physician cannot Indorse their certificate because he knows abso lutely nothing of the case. Stockyards on Peninsula. The bond for 100 acres of land at University Park that was taken a few weeks ago for a union stockyard has been permitted to ex pire without any attempt to take it up. It is said -that since that arrangement was made plans have been so extended that that tract Is not large enough, and that another tract Is In view a mile or so be yond St Johns, where facilities will be better and the institution will be entirely Temoved from the city. It Is presumed that the railroad will be extended to that site and that steps will soon be taken to provide the extensive stockyards. Federated Clubs' Reception. During the convention of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, which meets in this city April 24, 25 and 26, a reception -will be given on Thursday evening, April 24, at Parsons Hall, by the five federated clubs of Portland the Women's Club, Council of Jewish Women, Teachers' Association, Tuesday Afternoon Club and the Kinder garten Association.

His case was postponed until Thursday at 1:30 P. M. A roll of the butter -was In Mr. Bailey's office yesterday. It was 29 ounces in weight whereas the wrapper read 32 ounces. Mr. Daniels ad mits that the butter was short in weight, but says he was not aware of the short weight when he sold -the butter. East Morrison Needs New Planking.

MInthorn, Newberg, Or.; Walter W. Smith. La Grande; J. M. Coghlan, Holy oke, Mass.; Carl F. Raver, Ann Arbor, Mich. , Progress on Third-Street Excava tion. The excavation for the building to be erected at Third and Morrison has progressed so far as to render it neces sary for piers to bo built under the north foundation of the Strowbrldge building on the south end of the block to prevent it from giving way. Negotiations are in progress in regard to a party wall, but are not yet completed. It was remarked by a large property-owner yesterday that it was a pity that the Falling estate did not own the whole Third-street front, so that a building mlghtbe constructed on the whole at once. The old wooden build ing at Third and yamhlll will mar the effect of a fine new building adjoining. Another citizen stated that an attempt to make such an arrangement had been made, but it had been found impracti cable, owing to the wide discrepancy of ideas In regard to the value of the prop erty. The old wooden building at Third and Yamhill will doubtless remain there for another generation. Wood Blocks for Fourth Street. The delivery of treated wood blocks for the new pavement on Fourth street was commenced yesterday between Morrison and Alder, where the old pavement on4 the east side of the block has been cleared away. Many curious persons were exam ining and criticising the blocks and point ing out here one with a knot in it and there one with very wide annular rings, and making all sorts of guesses as to how long the carbolinenm avenarius would preserve the wood in a sound condition. The laying of these blocks will be watched with much Interest by many, probably by none with more deep Interest than those who have to pay for them. The comple tion of the new pavement on Fourth street ought to be made the occasion of some kind of celebration. Charged With Stealing Metal. Two brothers, Elmer Wood and C C Wood, were arrested by Detectives Kerrigan and Snow yesterday In their scow at St. John9, charged with the larceny of brass fin ishings. Iron and toots from the Llnnton smelter works and an East Side wood worker's shop. Two sacks of the al leged stolen articles were found In the scow, and taken with the prisoners to the police station. The detectives have been searching for the thieves for about six weeks, and it waa only by the merest ac cident they were located in the scow at St Johns. In the course of their search the detectives discovered that the thieves took the articles from the smelter works and brought them to St Johns in a boat Dairy and Food Commissioners to Meet. The executive ' committee of the National Association of State Dairy and Food Commissioners will meet at Colum bus, O., May 15.

Bnt Civic Improvement Association Is Eternally Opposed to Stretch IMS Banner in. t&e Streets. It transpires that the Travelers' Pro tective Association does not desire to fly banners across the streets of Portland on the occasion of its annual convention here next June. Flags and similar decorations are what the traveling men wish to dis play, and the Civic Improvement Associa tion has no objection. It will not be nec essary to obtain the permission of the Council for this proceeding. Speaking of this matter last evening, Thomas Mc Cusker, chairman of the street committee of the Civic Improvement Association, said: "A member of the T. P. A." jmoned me that they intended to fight the Civic Improvement Association in the stand it had taken against banners being allowed across the streets, and asked me tomeet them at the City Hall and watch them 'do us up, or words to that effect. I re plied that I woulu not be present, as we had already filed a remonstrance with the Council, which we thought would be effective. He said, You are not drifting back into mossbackism, are you? and I replied that we were just crawling -out but found it somewhat difficult owing to having to contend with so many people 4 who were against us for purely selfish reasons. He said that he approved our position against political banners, etc.. but an exception should be made In their favor. I replied that we must be consist ent and could make no exceptions, when he assured me that they would knock us out "Other members of the T. P. A. have boldly asserted that they would put up their banners whether the Council grant ed permission or not , "Now, I am loth to believe that these few voice the sentiment of the T. P. A, as they are law-abiding citizens, and would not consent to any violation of law, notwithstanding the hot-air utterances of some of them. Then, again. It is one thing to say they will do a thing, and quite another to carry it out Some of the members to whom I was speaking said that their association should not be Judged by a few inconsistent and incon siderate men. and this is the view I take of it and our association simply ignores their utterances. 'Had the T. P. A. committee taken the trouble to have a talk with us, and ex plained that the banners were merely flags for decorating purposes, instead of ranting around the street telling what they intended to do with us, this matter would have been settled without any feel ing. As It Is now, the Civic Improvement Association comes in for & certain amount of unjust criticism front those who do not know the facts. So far, only one member of the committee has had the courtesy to explain that they sent East and had their banners made long before we filed our remonstrance with the Coun cil, and that they consisted of flags and banners that cost them several hundred dollars, and that they were not an adver tising device. I immediately told him that we had no objection whatever if that was the case, and that we would give our consent to place them; and further, that our association would be only too glad to assist In giving welcome to the visiting T. P. A, both as citizens and as an association. "I want it fully understood that wo have not receded one lota from the posi tion we have taken about advertising banners, and neither do we care what party or- association applies for permis sion to fly them; we-will fight it to the last "While I am on the- subject I desire to say that a number of our best people, in cluding many business firms, have volun tarily commended our work, and have signified their desire to lend us every as sistance In their power, even going so far as to ask if they should sign a remon strance and present It to the Council, pro testing against the ordinance which was Introduced lately, to permit the placing of stone bicycle racks on the sidewalks, saying that they are a much greater nui sance than the former ones." They- also ask us to have all the unsightly signs, billboards and other advertising devices removed, so that Portland will have the appearance of a civilized city. "We do not ask anything unreasonable, nothing that any self-respecting person cannot sanction. We merely ask that the law be obeyed. No loyal citizen can ob ject to this; 'an anarchist might I do not know of another city where the law Is so disregarded as here. It is a com mon saying that nq other city In the United Statesr the size of Portland, has such disreputable strees and poor side walks. Nowhere else has selfish interest so flagrantly abused tb public, and no more tolerant people ever existed. But the worm lias turned, and the public de mauds a change and our association mere ly represents the public." AMUSEMENTS. t Tne Fraivleys In "Brother Officers" at the Marqaam. ,4 "Brother Officers" was the bill presented by the Frawleys at the Marquam last night, and although the play Is hardly equal to Its predecessors, it was given in such a way as. to prove entirely satis factory to a good house. Mr. Frawley played the part of John Hinds, the Sergeant, who rose from the ranks, In his usual easy style, and made his customary hit with his admirers. Wal lace Shaw did a fine piece of work with the character of Bob Huton, the sharper, for whom Hinds proves too much. Ben Howard was a handsome Lieutenant Pley dell, and the remainder of the cast was up to the standard, The play .was elaborately mounted. Tonight the company will close Its engagement with "Lord and Lady Algy," an English society comedy by A C. Carton. In which Mr. Frawley assumes the part of "Lord Algy," a character In which he is seen at. bis best The com pany Is happily cast COMIXG ATTRACTIONS. Williams nnd Walker nt'the Mar qHam. The famous colored stars, Williams and Walker, will present the "Sons of Ham" at the Marquam Grand Theater next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with a special matinee Saturday. This successful musical comedy has been en tirely rewritten for this season, and all new scenery has been painted for the production. All new songs and music have been written by Williams and Walker, who have in their support a chorus of 25 well-trained voices. The ensemble Is perfect and beautiful aqd the costumes elegant Bert Williams Is one of the most successful song writers ,of the present time. He has written more coon songs than any writer in this country, being a thorough musician. He composes all his own music Some of the most popular of the compositions .are: "You Ain't So Warm,". "Why Don't You Get a Lady of Your Own," "The Medicine Man," "Ghost of a Coon" and "Goo-Goo JEyes." He has written some new and very catchy soags and music for the "Sons of Ham" tiis season. The sale of seats opened yester day morning. "Hr.el Klrice" at the Baiter. "Hazel Kirkij," the everpopular drama, which Is now in rehearsal at the Baker Theater, will be given an elaborate pro duction, and none of those who "have seen the comrany have any doubt. that tbe e.vent will be"Hiemorable in the .theatrical history of the. city. The play is one which Is little "known to the present generation of play-goers, as it Is loved and admired by those whpse memories still linger In the past It has made the reputation bf more than one great actor, and will give every member of the company an ex cellent opportunity. " "Frew Sire to Son." "Front Sire to Son," a drama which is full -of heart-bound interest, will be presented at Cordray's next Sunday. The story of this play is a very Interesting one, and tells of the efforts of a villain to murder a married couple and assume guardianship over their daughter, who has never, -seen, her folks, thereby gaining con trol of the- fortune she would inherit He shoots both, the 'woman dies, but the man Is not very seriously Injured, though the wound Is In such a place as to par alyze his vocal cords, and the poor man is in danger of going through the world dumb. His voice comes back to him, and( he starts out in quest of hLs daughter and also to find bis wife's slayer. He traces the villain to Venice and finds him posing as the father of his daughter. Armltage, the name of the man who Is wounded, is about to have the murderer arrested when the latter turns the tables on him by having- him arrested as a lunatic In his rage Armltage denounces the villain as the murderer of his wife and telle the. girl he Is her own iatht. The villain escapes with the girl and con fesses to her that he Is not her father and asks her to marry him. Upon her refusal he threatens to jump over the precipice, but is frustrated by the arrival of Armltage and officers on the scene who take him off to Jail, and the father and daughter are reunited. A great deal of sparkling humor is Introduced in, "From Sire to Son.' and It is an interesting play. PERSONAL MENTION. State Senator C W. Fulton, of Astoria, Is at the Imperial. State Senator W. H.

NEW STEAM ROAD ROLLER After thorough, severe and satisfactory trial of the Buffalo Pitts Steam Road Roller, tWe Board of Public Works at yesterday's session, ac cepted this machine, and with its purchase "a new era In the build ing of good streets has begun. Yester day and the day before, Mr. Chase, the City Superintendent, together with the City's technical experts, witnessed the performance of the steam roller, and all were greatly surprised and highly pleased at the perfect manner in which the roller performed Its difficult task. Being fitted with double cylinders- placed side by side on top of the boiler, tfiere Is never the least delay In starting, as there can bo no dead center. Its steaming quali ties, the experts declared, were perfect, the total coal consumption during the two days' run did not exceed 800 pounds, the roller being in operation for 16 hours. A very gratifying feature of the roller is Its nqjselessness, horses paying hardly any attention to it while It Is at work. The roller will be moved over to the ?Test Side today and be In operation near wenty-thlrd and Northrup streets. COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE.

IMPURE BAKING POWDER SEIZED. The Ne-iv York Board of Health FlHtXs It Contains Alam aad Rock, De clares It Dangerous to Health. sTnQ Damp It Into the River. The 'New York, papers report that the Health Department of that city has seized as dangerous to health nearly two tons of cheap mixtures sold for baklnpowder, and dumped them Into the offal scow, to be destroyed. More of the powder was found In a Sixth-avenue department store. The report of the analysis of the Health Department stated that It was "an alum baking powder," containing alum and pul verized roqk. The different health authorities' seem to have different ways of repressing the sale of bad baking powders. In England, they have prosecuted the grocers under the general law and broken up the traffic. In Missouri the sale of alum baking pow der is actually nrohlblted by law. In New York they seize the unwholesome stuff and cast it into the river, without any discussion. The latter way is certaln luy effective. The alum baking powders are usually of fered at a low price, ten to twenty cents a pound, or with some prize, as a temp tation to the housewife. Consumers can protect themselves by buying only high-grade baking powder of established name and reputation. Do not be tempted by the grocer to take some thing else, as "Just as good" or "our own brand," for the trials show that the gro cer himself Is often deceived by unscrup ulous makers and Is selling an alum, pow der without knowing It There are several good powders on the market; let the housekeeper Insist on hav ing what she knows Is right, and not be Induced to risk the life of the family for an Imaginary saving o( a few cents.
