Reads Riot Act to The Comoub. A
rather -well-known citizen -who undertook
to carry a stuffed" skin of a Mongolian
pheasant fronf the taxidermists to the
owner the other day, found his extensive
acquaintance rather embarrassing. In go
ing a dozen blocks he was stopped at
least three dozen times by friends who
noticed the long tall feathers of the bird
protruding from the package. He was
threatened with arrest for shooting gime
out or season 27 times, and asked where
he had "obtained" the bird nine times,
with Insinuations thrown In gratuitously
that he had stolen it. Seven persons
snatched at the tail feathers and came
near breaking them and so spoiling the
specimen, the owner of which procured
It to send to a friend East as a sample
of the productions of Oregon. When, to
escape his persecutors, he dodged Into
the office where he Is employed, every
person. In the place began asking ques
tions about the bird, and throwing out
Insinuations and threatening him with
all the pains and penalties of the law for
having game in his possession. State
ments were volunteered to the effect that
Game Warden Qulmby was looking for
him and advising him to throw the "bird"
down the dust chute and get rid of It.
An hour or so of this sort of agony was
enough of this sort of thing to weary
the patience of Job, and Anally the
victim, who la not built on the lines
that Job was, turned on the tormentors
and took his turn at the play, and being
somewhat at home in the line of vituper
ation and abuse himself, passed rather
an enjoyable quarter of an hour. He
then sent for a packing case big enough
to hold the pheasant, tail and all, and
having enclosed It therein called an ex
pressman and sent It to tho owner and
took a car for home. He says the thirst
for knowledge about things which do not
concern them, which is so marked a
trait in many people, may lie commend
able, but he will be everlastingly splf
fllcated if he will pander to it.
Restaurant Keepers' Hard Lot.
What, with the advance in the price of
meats and the increased cost of laundry
work during the strike, the life of res
taurant keepers of late has not been so
fcappy as usual. The patrons of a popu
lar restaurant were rather astonished
to find beside their plates at lunch Sat
urday, tissue paper napkins in place of
the usual linen ones. One "pigeon-breasted"
man complained of these and said he
could not "wear" such napkins "Chicago
style," and after some trouble he man
aged to secure a linen one, which he at
once adjusted In the style of a bib and
"was happy. The proprietor said that the
Chinese laundryman, whom he had been
obliged to patronize since the strike In
the American laundries, charged him 0
cents p'er dozen for "doing up" his nap
kins, which he considered an outrage.
Butchers had advanced the price of
meats beyond all reason, charging 16
cents per pound for loins untrlmmed, a
large part of which went to the "stock"
kettle, as his customers did not eat
Hamburg steak, and another considerable
portion of which went to the rendering
kettle for tallow. Legs of mutton, veal
and pork, untrlmmed, cost 1214 cents per
pound, and potatoes cost him ?2 per. sack.
He could not see how he was to make
both ends meet under such conditions.
His patrons replied that if he made one
end meat and the other end fowl they
would not complain.
One Sparrow Whips Nineteen. A
tremendous fluttering and screeching In
a cherry tree on Fifth street, and a
shower of petals coming down like snow
attracted the attention of passers yester
day, ' and several stopped to see what
was the matter. Some thought a gang
of the little birds which nip off blossoms
had taken a contract to clear the tree of
blossoms, but in a few seconds down
through the branches tumbled a mass of
sparrows, all of them fighting like mad.
There were about 20 of the birds and
19 of them were fighting the other one,
who stood up to them like a hero and
"fit and fit" and gouged and bit the best
he could, although he stood no earthly
show. The sympathies of the spectators
were with the lone bird, and a stick
thrown close to his assailants caused
them to fly away In a hurry. Then the
poor bedraggled and badly mauled victim
straightened himself up, and with a wink
of his eye and a flirt of his tail, which
seemed to mean "thank you, gentlemen,"
he flew back up to a box on the tree
which he had been fighting for the pos
session of, and told his mate that he had
thrashed the whole gang of enemies, and
that she could go ahead with the con
struction of her nest. His friends will
keep watch over his interests and see
that he is not dislodged this season.
New Kind op "Postal Card. A real
estate dealer of this city, who had occa
sion to write to a client in the- East a
short time ago. In regard to some prop
erty of his clients, for which he had re
ceived an offer, inclosed his small busi
ness card, in order that there might be
no mistake made in addressing the re
ply. He was Just a little surprised when
on Saturday he received the little card
back through the mall with a postage
stamp stuck on the upper end and the
instruction asked for penciled -on the
back. He has concluded that his client
is not a man addicted to lavish expendi
ture of time or money in the matter of
correspondence, but the instructions were
all right, Just the same.

Canary Scared at a Kite. A family !
residing on Nob Hill have a canary bird
which Is a fine singer and a great pet.
Yesterday when the sun shone out his
mistress hanged his cage in a window
of the dining-room, where he could have
the benefit of the sunshine. He sang
gaily for a whlle'and then began making
notes of alarm and threshing about his
cage. His mistress hastened to his as
sistance, imagining that a cat was after
him, but could sec nothing to cause his
alarm. The bird, however, kept on flut
tering about the bottom of his cage,
uttering sounds which showed plainly
that he was badly scared. His mistress
looked out of the window and Anally
noticed a kite soaring high in the air,
which some boys were flying from a
vacant tract three blocks away. Through
some heredetery Instinct the little bird
knew that large objects soaring In the
air as kites and hawks., were dangerous,
and hence his alarm. He had been born
In a cage, as had his ancestors lor gen
erations, but the instinct that warned
him of danger from such things had been
transmitted down to him through all
these generations from wild progenitors.
Jus"t what corner of his tiny brain this
instinct had been stowed away in It is
difficult to Imagine, but it was there, all
right, and the first time he saw a kite
it warned him to look out for himself.
Letter Carriers' Band on a March.
The Letter Carriers Band wont out Into
ML Scott section a week ago to practice
marching and "blowing" at the same
time, so as to "be prepared for emergen
cies. They play very well sitting or
standing, but they find marching and
playing at tho same time rather difficult
on account of mud-holes, stumps and
bushes. It was also very difficult for
the carriers to hold themselves erect
without the heavy sacks they carry, but
they finally overcame this by filling
their pockets on one side with rocks. A
veteran of the Second Oregon Band had
charge of the practice march. The band
had Intended to find some- secluded spot
where their whistles would be unobserved,
but the music seemed to start up men,
women and children from the ground and
to shake them off the trees. An audience
collected which followed them till the
snare drum broke and the band went to
pieces. After a tiresome rrikrch the
band halted In front of & house in Tre
mont and serenaded the inmates, who
responded with a liberal supply of cakes
and lemonade. They boarded the car for
Portland and arrived home In due time
In a rather tired condition. They started
out for another practice march yester
day, but at a lato hour last night had
not been heard from.
LvAst Drink Fetched Him. A delegate
from an up country town to some politi
cal or labor convention In thl3 city has
been In town for several days and seems
to be In no hurry about going home. He
has found a saloon where the goods sold
suits his taste, the people he meets con
genial, and he has been refreshing his
soul dally with liquid refreshment In tho
form of a particularly choice brand of
old rye whisky. He had taken 16 glasses
of this elixir of life the other evening
and concluded that It was time to seek
his downy couch In a down-town lodg
ing house, when he was Induced by the
saloon man to take a glass of hot clam
broth by way of a night-cap. When he
turned up next morning he looked very
rocky and had a very large deep-brown
taste and a heavy coat of fur 'on his
tongue. He told the saloon man never
to ask him to take any more clam
broth,, remarking that the stuff was sure
death to him. He had drank 16 glasses
of whisky without It fazing him In the
least, but In ID minutes after taking the
glasses of clam broth he was as drunk as
David's sow, and he Imagined he had
been doped. No explanation seemed to
satisfy him, and he left for heme that
afternoon. The moral is: Don't mix your
drinks.

"Isn't your clock fast?" asked a caller
at the office of a business-man a day or
two ago. "Yes; It Is five minutes fast,"
was the reply. "What do you mean by
keeping your clock that way?" asked the
caller Indignantly. "You have made me
miss an appointment." "Well, I like to
keep it that way for several reasons.
Haven't you a watch -of your own?"
"Yes." Then why don't you look at It
when you want to know the time?"
"Oh! It is more out of the way than
your clock, and beside I do not want to
wear it out by hauling it out of my
pocket often." "If you are so economical
In regard to your time-keeper, your time
must ve very valuable. So Is mine, and
I hate to waste It to no purpose. I
keep my clock fast In order that un
profitable callers may go away the soon
er. Good day." The caller-left at once
and is still trying to make out what the
business-man meant by his remarks.

Philosopher Sees Stranoe Sights. A
Philosopher took a car ride up Washing
ton street Saturday, and in the very mid
dle of the incline between Twentieth and
Twenty-first streets a young man and
two girls hailed the motorman to stop
the car. The motorman gallantly did so,
the party boarded the car. the escort
said, "Thapk you for stopping," and the
car whizzed along. "We couldn't have
done that in the days of horse ars," re
marked the Philosopher. "The horses
probably could not have started the car
on the middle. of this hill without In
juring themselves. Such a whipping,
straining and abuse there would have
been. Now the motorman harnesses an
invisible fiend, and stops him and starts
him at will." The car stopped at the next
corner, and a pretty lltle girl about 5
years old boarded It and took a seat near
the door. "Fare, miss," said the conduc
tor. The little girl placed her right hand
in a wee pocket, drew out a spotless hand
kerchief tied with a knot at one corner
and after unfastening that knot she drew
from the depths of her handkerchief a
brand-new nickel. "Bless me," said the
Philosopher, "I am relieved to find she
had the money in her handkerchief. I
thought she would have the money in her
mouth."
Girls in a Lively Fioht. A lively
scrapping match, in which six girls took
part, occurred early In the morning a
day or two ago at the corner of Third
and Couch streets. Two of the girls
were pickets sent out by the striking
laundry girls to watch for non-union
girls going to work In laundries and to
prevent them from doing so, If possible.
The others were non-union girls on their
way to work. When the parties met
there was a brief colloquy, and then
the scrap began. Umbrellas were poked
with vigor and hair-pulling Indulged in
and some clawing and scratching, and
occasional shrieks of pain were heard,
but there was no bad language used.
After three or four minutes pully-haul-Ing
the opposing parties broke away, the
pickets being outnumbered, having ap
parently the worst of it. One of them
who was seen about the affray declined
to talk and, as the laundry strike Is
now settled, it is to be hoped there will
be no more trouble of this kind. The
locks of hair torn out caused no particu
lar damage on account of the present
fashion of wearing frizzled, twisted hair,
but the girls should remember that their
"little hands were never made to tear
each other's eyes."
Lucky He Didn't Swear. The wretched
condition of the pavement at Fourth and
Taylor streets was responsible Saturday
for quite an unlooked-for delay in the
delivery of a heavy load of cordage, and
needless hardship for a couple of tired
horses. The team was pulling up Taylor
street, but at the northeast corner the
hind wheels of the truck became hope
lessly stuck In two large boles where the
blocks had once been. The horses hauled
and strained, but all to no purpose. The
driver was a philosophical Individual, and
he didn't say, one bad word, or reproach
the horses because they could not act
the part of a donkey engine. He tele
phoned to his employer that he was
"stuck" at Fourth and Taylor streets, and
In a short time a relief team arrived, and
a large portion of the goods was trans
ferred. When half the load had been lifted
the horses attached to the first truck
hauled the wheels out of the slough of
mud, and the affair was. over. "That
driver did not swear once," remarked a
severe-looking woman, who had watched
the entire proceedings. "If he had said
one naughty word or had whipped those
poor horses, I would have reported him."

story reached the ears of deputy City
Auditor Grutze yesterday, and he told it

on streets. In one of the schools last
week, Mr. Grutze said, a teacher who has
taken a great deal of Interest In the 1905"
exposition asked her class If they knew
who Lewis and Clark were. The children
for It was a primary grade hesitated
a long time, when Anally one . of them
arose and said, "I know, teacher." "Who
were they?'' Inquired the Instructor.
"They're the men who are raising the
money for the fair," and the little girl
was told to go away back and sit down.

Franklin Fyles melodrama, "Cumber
land, '61," was admirably given by the
Stuart Company at the Baker Theater
yesterday to two houses, which have not
been excelled during the engagement.
The play made a decided hit, and every
one of the many opportunities for ap
plause were fully Improved. The company
Is strongly cast, and while all the mem
bers have parts entirely different from
anything they have undertaken, all ac
quit themselves with much, credit.
The story of the play Is simple. Alice
Ainslle has been promised In marriage to
Colonel Murdoch, an old reprobate, who
has paid for her education. The girl loves
Gordon Grayne, with whose family hers
is In feud. Murdoch's son, the offspring
of a squaw wife, Is on his trail, clamoring
for a recognition of the legitimacy of his
birth and a'n avowal that he Is not of
negro blood. The girl marries the Colo
nel, who captures and locks up Grayne
and his son, who are Union soldiers, while
he is a Confederate, but Grayne escape?,
and the son, who obtains his release un
der a promise to burn a bridge as return
for the paper he covets, finds that tho
old man has deceived him, and breaks In
Just before the close of the last act to
prove that he Is an Indian by shooting his
father. The curtain falls v together with
the Colonel, whose timely 'death releases
the unwilling wife, and she finds consola
tion In Grayne's arms.
Mr. Stuart, as the half-breed son, does
his usual excellent work, and arouses en
thusiasm whenever he la on the stage.
Frank Sheridan makes a splendid villain,
although he violates some of the stage
traditions by refraining from hissing and
exclaiming "Aha!" when occasions are
suitable. Lansing Rowan has a good
chance as tho daughjter, and makes equally
good use of It. Elizabeth Stuart and
Catherine Countlss, as mother and daugh
ter. Introduce some very dainty and
charming comedy. Louis Morrison is ex
cellent In a part which he suits exactly.
The play Is well mounted and accurate
ly costumed. It will run all the week.
Alder Street Pavement. So much
difficulty has been experienced In obtain
ing a sufficient number of signers for
Improvement on Alder street through to
the gulch at the head of It, that effort
will now be made to got signers enough
for the Improvement as far as. Twelfth
street. It Is thought this may be ac
complished. WHAT IS SOCIALISM?
Rev. Carl D. Thompson Tells an And
ience of Its Theories.
Rev. Carl D. Thompson, an ex-Congre-gatlonallst
minister from Elgin, 111., le
tured last night in the Eagles' Hall on
"Socialism, the Supreme Moral Issue of
the Hour; What It Is and "What It Isn't."
The hall was well filled with listeners.
Mr. Tliompson, who io a man about 30
years old. spoke in a calm, dispassionate
manner, and was at pains to point out
that to obtain the ends socialists have
In view they do not desire any fusion
with tho Republican or Democratic
parties. He expressed his- conviction that
if the Socialists poll their full vote on
strict party lines at the June election
4n Oregon that they will probably carry
the state for Socialism In 1004.
"I Intend to remain In Oregon until the
day before election to support and work
for the success of the Socialist ticket,"
he said. In part. "In one way. It Is a
question of expense, and you will be
asked to contribute toward my expenses
before the meeting closes, if you care to,
but If not I will stay In Oregon and work
for the success of Socialism all the same.
Monopolies and trusts are behind both the
Republican and Democratic parties. Elect
Republicans or Democrats, and the trusts
will be on top. The country Is waiting
to see what the Socialists of Oregon are
to do in this election, and the result will
have an effect on elections In other states
In the Union. A moral Issue Is before
you, one affecting the earning of your
bread and the happiness and safety of
your wife, your home, your children. "We
wish no deal, no trade, with the other
political parties. We are to push on to the
.straight mark of Socialism. One leading
question Is, Shall the trusts own the peo
ple, or shall the people own the trusts
that are grinding them down? The only
party that takes a stand on this Issue Is
the Socialist party.
"It is not necessary to explain In Ore
gon and to this audience that socialism
does not mean anarchy. Socialism will
give you control of the Conditions which
control your lives, your happiness and
the happiness of those who are dear to
you. Socialism docs not mean that we
will seize your private property. For In
stance, my clothes are my private prop
erty, because they are of use to me and
they would not At you. My watch, and
It Is not a very good one. Is my private
property, where I can place the photo
graph of my wife; you would not want
that. Socialism alms to give the com
munity control of the railroads, tele
graphs, telephones, oil and gold fields;
also forests and all natural products which
It Is said God created and gave to all men
In common. Such things are controlled
by the few now."
In closing Mr. Thompson drew a word
picture of the millennium, which would
dawn If the teachings of socialism were
put In practice, and spoke against the
competitive system as opposed to the co
operative, stating that the former was
unscientific, wasteful and Immoral. He
Insisted that socialism will give people
equal opportunity. It was announced that
socialist addresses will be delivered In
this city May 21, 22 and 23, by Rev. J.
Stitt Wilson, of Chicago.
PIONEER OF I846 DIES.
S. L. Campbell, Companion ot Whit
man and Early Surveyor.
Samuel L. Cafnpbell, one of the oldest
pioneers of the Northwest, died last Tues
day at the residence ot his son, George C.
Campbell, in Seattle. The disease to
which he succumbed was cancer, from
which he had been suffering for the past
two years. Mr. Campbell had lived in
Washington since 1S00, before he lived
In Oregon and Idaho. He was well known
In Portland as a pioneer surveyor.
Mr. Campbell was born Fehruary 3, 1824,
In Chester, Hampden County, Mass. He
and his brother, William, left home for
the far Northwest In April, 1845. On Oc
tober 10 they arrived at the mission of Dr.
Whitman In the Walla Walla Valley,
where they spent the Winter of 1S46-47.
Ho was vary Intimate with Whitman, and
was one of the Jurors who Indicted the
Ave Indian murderers of the Whjtman
family and others. He left Oregon. City
In April, 1847, for Massachusetts, 'where
he arrived September 16 of the same year.
In 184S he piloted his father's family to
Oregon. They settled In the Willamette
Valley, where his parents lived the re
mainder of their days.
Mr. Campbell was elected County Sur
veyor of CJackamas County, Oregon, In
1S6S, and was re-elected 17 consecutive
times. In 1S6S he engineered the first rail
road In Oregon, which runs from Port
land up the 'Willamette.' He moved with
his family to Missouri In June, 1878, and
two years later established his home In
AMUSEMENTS
"Faust," John Griffith, and
Company, o Cord
rays. THE CAST:
Faust Mr. Montague
Valentine Mr. Armln
Wagner Mr. Mulligan
Slebold Miss De Beau
Martha ..... in. Del Vecctrlo
The Innkeeper Mr. Bremman
Elsa Miss Francis
Marguerite Miss Purnell
Mephisto Mr. Griffith
&
John Griffith as Mephisto was of course
the feature of the performance of "Faust"
which was given to a big house at Cor
dray's last night, although the brilliant
electrical effects which accompanied him
came In for almost aa large a share of
the applause. Electricity snapped and
sparkled wherever Mephisto was to be
seen; It sizzled at his magic touch in all
kinds of unexpected places, and a Judi
cious use of red Are served to heighten
the effect. The Brocken scene was a
masterpiece of Its kind, surpassing any
that has been given In. the theater and
fairly dazzling the audience with Its bril
liancy and vividness. Tableaux were fre
quent and Imposing, and. as has been
already set forth, the scenic effects proved
Invaluable In breathing Into the produc
tion the spirit of Hades that was In
tended. Griffith makes an unusually good Me
phisto. His make-up is as nearly perfect'
as one could imagine; his physical pecu
liarities are such as to lend themselves
readily to the portrayal of the character,
and In voice and action he suits the part.
His Interviews with Faust, which, of
course, compose the most, of his duties,
were very well done, and his acting
throughout was finished and eaoy.
The company Is exceptionally good.
Miss Purcell, a young woman of more
beauty than Is the lot of most women of
the stage to possess, makes a sweet and
pleasing Marguerite, and her acting Is as'
good as her looks. Mr. Montague lends
to Fauat a dignity and character which Is
utterly unlike the farcical performance of
It by the last man who played It at the
theater. Mr. Armln as Valentine Is suffi
cient, and he makes use of a magnificent
Koto vnIro n a mimVtAi tf onlrtu tViImV
j are well worth hearing. His singing last
night was so roundly applauded that he
was compelled to respond to encore after
encore. Aside from the electrical effects,
the play Is well mounted, and Is alto
gether worth seeing. It will run all the
week, and will without doubt play to ex
cellent business.
Moscow, Idaho, where he lived up to the
time of his removal to Washington. He
followed the profession of surveyor up
to 1900. The last year of his life he was
engaged In writing his autobiography and
a personal history of the early days of
Oregon. This manuscript has not yet
been published.
MADAME ZEISLER TONIGHT
Well-Knovra Planiste to Appear at
the Murqaam.
Madame Fannie Bloomfleld-Zeisler, the
gifted planiste, who appears at the Mar
quam Grand Theater tonight, la without
doubt the greatest woman planiste of the
age. Her programme Is one that will be
of great Interest to music-lovers and stu
dents. Her playing of the wonderful
transcription of the sextet from "Lucia,"
arranged for the left hand alone, has cre
ated a sensation among musicians. It Is
wonderfully harmonized and at times with
eyes averted one could think the tran
scription was for two pianos Instead of
one hand. It is of greater Interest as
transcription was done by Madame Zels
ler'e teacher, the great Leschetlzky.
LcttIs Morrison In "Faust" at the
Marquam.
Lewis Morrison himself will appear at
the Marquam Grand Theater next Friday.
Saturday matinee and night In the part of
Mephisto, supported by a strong company
drawn from the best of the "legitimate"
school. Lewis Morrleon has appeared in
this part over 5000 times during the past
20 seasons, and his performance Is recog
nized by the best critics to be a flawless
piece of acting which has gained him In
ternational fame. The beauty of the new
scenery, the startling electrical effects and
the newly written choral and instrumental
music will be welcome features, but the
opportunity to witness Lewis Morrison's
Impersonation of Satan will prove the
magnet which will draw strongest In the
new production of "Faust."
