A broken circuit -which shut oft the current from several street lamps Tuesday evening was located by the line foreman in a lamp at Thirteenth and Washington streets, and he proceeded at once to lower the- lamp In order to fix the connection. In starting down the lamp swung a little to one side, closing the circuit, and as it swung back, in breaking the connection, an arc of llame was pulled, several inches in length, which set fire to a sparrow's nest In the hood of the lamp. The blaze of the straw and other material in the nest quickly at tracted a crowd, and many of them, women especially, were greatly alarmed for the safety of the foreman, who con tinued lowering the lamp, and there -was quite an excitement around him, the women demanding that he be made to go away from the lamp before the cur rent struck him and killed him. Of course, he knew his huslness and was in no dan ger, and when the lamp came within reach it was put to rights by a touch of his finger. He still feels complimented by the Interest the women evinced in his wel fare, and attributes It to his good looks and winning ways. "What His Wife Discovered. A busi ness man who had occasion to drive out on the Marquam Gulch road a few miles yesterday took his wife along for com pany. They were only a short distance from the head of Sixth street, in an Ital ian colony, when the man was startled by his wife saying in a tone of horror: "Oh, John! there Is the body of a child hanging on the picket fence Just ahead!" He looked and saw a pink-colored object which did look like the body of a child, but he told his wife that It must be a small pig' -which had Just been bought from a countryman. The nearer they came to It the more like a human being the object appeared, till at last it was seen to be the body of a huge papier mache doll as big as a child a year old. It was a grewsome-looklng thing to be hanging on a fence by the public high- jvay, and the grinning Italian who came out and offered to sell It was advised to put It out of sight and not be scaring de cent people with it. Mr. Cook's Dweujno.-The block be tweeen 1 Fourth and Fifth, Hall and College streets is being- cleaned up and the one house on the north west corner Is undergoing an over hauling and having some changes made Inside. The property is owned by J. W. and Vln Cook, and probably will be occu pied by the latter. One of the items of the clearing up Is the removal of a huge billboard which has for a long time closed access to the east end of the block. Its remqval adds much to the appearance of the property. On this block 30 years ago was the residence of A. C. R. Shaw, then superintendent of the State Peniten tiary. There is a large walnut tree in the center of the block, the trunk of which Is two feet in diameter, and on the east half of the block there is an old orchard, prob ably planted by Mr. Shaw, In which Is a very large apple tree and some large cherry trees. The property has been owned by the Messrs. Cook for about 25 years. Mb, Harrington' b New Role. J. X. -M. Harrington, of Pillar Rock, who has late ly completed his 26th and most prosperous year in the salmon-packing business. Is determined to "press his luck," and has accepted a nomination on the Democratic ticket for Representative to the Wash ington Legislature from Wahkiakum County, in opposition to ex-Senator J. G. Megler. the Republican nominee. Mr. Harrington has a very magnificent voice und a gift In the way of strong speeches, and his Democratic friends say he should have a chance to display his oratoricar powers. Mr. Megler's friends admit that Harrington is gifted In the use of strong language, but say that as long as he has a cannery crew to operate every year there is no danger of his powers in strong language or his voice suffering from want of exercise. Wr Connins Changed His Mind. Con siderably under the Influence of liquor, John Connins felt so warm and thirsty yesterday morning as he was walking along the Morrison-street bridge that he jumped into the river, but the water was ,so cold that he became sober, yelled for help and clutched at one or the -piers. Bridgetender Wood heard the splash, and. accompanied by one of the gate-tenders, he ran to the assistance of the stranger, who yelled as soon as he saw his rescuers: "Take me out; I'm cold!" Connins was taken to the police station, and later he appeared before Municipal Judge Hogue, charged with being drunk, and the case -was continued to enable the police to make inquiries about Connins' record.

With blood streaming from a bullet wound In his left hip, John O'Keefe. 19 years old. of Sixteenth street, near Jefferson, walked Into a Slxlh-street hotel- last night and asked for a room. The proprietor noticed the blood and asked O'Keefe who had shot him. "A man plugged me with a revolver on Pine street near Second, a short time ago. It doesn't matter much," replied O'Keefe, calmly. In spite of his pro testations the police wagon was sent for and he was taken to St. Vincent's Hospi tal, where he refused to allow the surgeon to probe for the bullet or to explain how the matter happened or who shot him.

Donald Bowles Harold Reynolds George Bloomquest Gerald Holmes Julius MeVlcker Mulberry Frank MacVlckars John E. L. Brent Sylvia Gertrude Keller Helen Le Grand.., Mlsa Chapman Miss Clementina Lillian Andrews In the performance of the old favorite, "A Bachelor's Romance," Miss Gertrude Keller won a triumph at the Marquam. Everyone has seen the play before, and it added to the enjoyment of the audience that familiarity gave leisure for pure and delightful appreciation. Miss Keller has not had a chance to display her genuine ability before this week, and the applause showered on her last night was deserved. Mr. Nelll himself played beyond his usual standard. Before the first act was through it was evident to all that In some way a new Impulse wa3 stirring him into acting that breathed of genius. Support ed In good style by Mr. Burton and Mr. Bowies, he enacted David Holmes with verve and sincerity that should have roused more enthusiasm than it did. The third act was very well done, in deed, and It was chastened In Its almost somber effect, by the tender graclousness of Miss Keller. Here Mr. Bloomquest was an excellent foil, and is entitled to credit for maintaining the personal note In his work against odds. Miss Chapman was very graceful In her minor role. At the professional matinee yesterday afternoon the actors of the city saw Mr. Nelll and his company in their final per formance in Portland of "The Red Knight" Tomorrow evening will be pre sented "Prince Karl," and the rest of the week. Including a Saturday matinee, "The Starbucks" will be .given. PHIL ROGOWAY BACK. Prepared to Settle "With Creditor! and "Wants to Do Better. After leaving town suddenly last July, to the regret of his creditors, Phil F. Rogoway, ex-Deputy License Collector, has returned to Portland, and states that during his absence he ha worked at Ju neau, Alaska, accumulating money with -which to satisfy his creditors' claims. Rogoway called at The Oregonian office yesterday and said he desired to make, this statement: "I am determined to make a fresh start In life. My friends are willing to help me. T wish to state that I have not been a fugitive from justice, and that I have robbed nobody. I left Portland because It was the best thing I could do at the time. I had been associating with evil com panions, and had been taught to gamble. I had never gambled before. I bought a ticket to Juneau, Alaska, and with this ticket and 30 cents I left town, arriving at Jueau July 10. "In Juneau I worked 22 hours a day to make money so that I could come back to Portland and settle. I worked in a barber shop In the day and cleaned saloons at night, and did everything I could to raise money. With -what I earned and with the assistance of my wife I was able to re turn to Portland. All my debts have either been paid or will be Immediately. I do not wan to owe any one a dollar. It has been said that I took money belonging to the city when I was in the 'license de partment. This is false. I never took a cent for a license but what was turned into the City Treasury. It has also been stated that I tpok money belonging to Fleckenstein, Mayer & Co. There Is no truth In this, and Mr. Mayer cannot show that I ever robbed the firm of a nickel. After I had' resigned I borrowed money and ran inf;o debt, and It is these accounts I am settling. There was nothing crimi nal about tho matter at all. I have made money and want to make a new start in life. I am paid up In all the orders to which I belong, and hope I retain the good-will of my friends. I appreciate my mistakes, and wish to do better." COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Prince Knrl". at Marqnam Tonight. Richard Mansneld's comedy success, l'Prlnce Karl," will be the play presented by Mr. Nelll and his company at the Mar quam Grand Theater this evening. At the matinee Saturday, when Ople Read's latest dramatic offering, "The Starbucks," -will be given, each lady attending will be presented with n handsome souvenir of Mr. Nelll and Miss Edythe Chapman. "Lost in Xew York" nt Cordrny's. "Lost in New York" will prove to be one of the dramatic treats of the season. The play is one of the kind that appeals to all lover? of what is good in the dra matic line, and tells a story of life in a great city. The characters are such as will be found In all towns of Importance, and embrace a tramp who Is funny, a policeman who Is never found lacking, a wdman who is blind, and has more hard ships that are usually allotted to women, and also a child who is dear to all moth ers' hearts. There are several others, all Interesting characters, who help to make the production one of the most popular American plays. "Lost In New York" -will commence at Cordray's next Sunday night. "Xn'ncy & Co." at Baker's. "Laugh and the world laughs "with you." This will be the rule at the Baker Theater next Sunday afternoon, -when Augustin Daly's greatest comedy success, "Nancy & Co.," will begin a week's run. The Nelll stock company has made special ar rangements with the Daly estate to pro duce this bright comedy. Charles "Vvyn gate will be seen as Tippy Brasher, a well-managed husband, giving him an ex cellent opportunity to display his ability as a comedian. Catherine Countiss, who -will be remembered as doing some very clever comedy work last season, will play Nancy Brasher, the part that made Ada Rehan famous in New York City. Mlna Gleason, Fred Mower, William Bernard und Elsie Esmond have very good parts. In fact, there is, not a dull character In the comedy. New Tlicnter for Albany. The opera-house In Albany has been leased by Mr. Cordray, and will be opened October 6 with Mr. Nell Burgess In "The Country Fain" This theater has been put upon the Stair & Havlin circuit and will run during the regular season. "The Coun try Fair," presented by Mr. Burgess, has just finished an engagement at the Colum bia' Theater, In San Francisco, and It Is hoped that the good(start may be a fore taste of what the people of Albany are to expect Stecllieads Plentifnl nt Astoria. ASTORIA, Sept. 17. (Special.) The run of fish remains about the same as at the opening of tho season.

Marie La Brahy "A -Tnoro-ighbred Tramp," at Cordray's, Is a Western melodrama in every sense of the word. Unlike most of its kind it Is a fair play and affords a chance for some good humorous work which pleased the audience very much last night The title role' Is In the hands of Mr. Will Wheeler, who does well and has periods when ho Is almost Irresistibly tnny. Tho strength of the cast is on the male side of the company, ,very decidedly, though Miss Roth does .passably well as Old 'Rocky's daughter. A simplification of the means used to start a laugh might be very advan tageously adopted in several scenes. To tell the exact truth and shame the play wright, there is so little needed to arouse the risibilities of the average audience that vast, effort and pains might be spared by the actors if they took advantage pf human weakness. "A Thoroughbred Tramp" is an excellent example of the overdoing of what after all Is the easiest matter In the world. The spectators last evening were in the mood to enjoy to tho full all the old jokes and comicalities that were brought forth for their delec tation, and It was cruelty on the part of Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Frankyn to demand a roar after each witticism. The play has good, brisk movement and should not be over-englned. Comedy specialties were Introduced In each act and diverted the audience sufficiently. "A Thoroughbred Tramp" will be continued the rest of the week. GIVES ADVICE TO MOTHERS Madame Davenport Telln Them How to Preserve Health and Beauty. Madame De Gohere Davenport, the dis tinguished European health lecturer and teacher of physical culture, who has been lecturing before the Young Woman's Christian Association, gave her farewell lecture yesterday afternoon in an address to mothers in the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. Madame Davenport, who was intro duced to her audience by Profeesor Rlng ler, is a French woman of charming per sonality and of physical attractiveness and grace. In spite of the fact that she Is 75 years old, seeming, with her fresh, smooth complexion and elastic move ments, not to be a day over 45. The lecturer opened with the rather discouraging announcement that there are very few sensible mothers. "As an Instance, in the matter of food, it Is no wonder that we see sallow, nasty ' complexions and that such numbers of people have Indigestion, when children are allowed from infancy to consume quantities of ice cream, cake and boiled tea. "You go to clubs and study literature and what do you know about hygiene? Don't you think It is well to know more about your own body and lees about lit erature? Sickness is a disgrace. I am over 70 and was never sick In my life. "American women are good-looking, there is no dqubt, but they lose their beauty from the way they fret, worry and stew from morning till night They take patent medicines and, presently, after the patent medicine comes the hos pital. "Divorce Is becoming very common. Why? A woman loses her husband be cause she docs not know how to keep him. We must be Interesting women, and we must be strong women, not women of a hundred and sixty-live diseases. A wise woman takes care of her health and the health of her husband. She Is the power behind the throne." Madame Davenport strongly Insists upon physical culture and regular ex ercise, and recommends the drinking of plenty of water. The speaker took pains to illustrate to her hearers the proper manner of drinking a glass of water. Madame Davenport asserts that there is no need of elderly people becoming stout or stiff, and moved gracefully about the platform to demonstrate her theory. Self-Confessed Murderer to De Tried. WALLA WALLA, Sept. 17. Kellett and Bradshaw, self-confessed murderers of Peter Nelson, a Swede, whom they held up and shot at Pasco, six weeks agoK will be taken to that place for preliminary ex amination Friday.

The cit izens 'of that portion of Astoria known as Uniontown have organized a volunteer fire company to assist the paid department in fighting fires In that portion of the city. The organization will be called the Elmore Hose Company. Dysentery Cured Without the Aid of a Doctor. "I am Just up from a hard spell of the flux" (dysentery), says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well-known merchant of Drummond, Tenn "I used one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured without having a doctor, l consider It the best cholera medicine in the world." There is no need of employ ing a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe a better medicine for bowel complaint In any form, either for children or adults. It never fails, and is pleasant to take. For sale by all drug gists. Never fall to cure sick headache, often the very flrst dose. This Is -what is said by all who try Carter's Little Liver Pills.
