Shade trees are falling before the advance of cement sidewalks along the streets, as raln falls before the reaper's sickle. The removal of some of these trees, which for many years have shadowed the side walks and littered the streets, Is quite expensive. For the greater number, $2 50 to $15 covers the cost of removal, and at one place a dozen are being cut down and cut up, for 111 each, but the rubbish Is not removed. Wires of the electric light service or the telephone service run through the tops of most of the tall trees, and the min removing such trees has to protect these wires and also look out for himself. If he mistakes an electric light wire fpr a telephone wire he is likely to get into trouble. A case of this kind oc curred at Thirteenth and Taylor streets a day or two ago, where a min who was up In a tree sawing off some large branches hur.g his saw by one of the handles on an electric light wire and received a shock which knocked him out of the tree. For tunately, he rolled down the ends of the limbs, and so escaped without serious damage; but he was scared enough to list him all Winter. Several electric line men received $15 a few days ago for cat ting down a large tree through the top of which no less than 15 electric wire were running. They did not clear away the rubbish, either. Those who used to contract for wooden sidewalks now have to go far out to Portland Heights or such places to find any jobs, beyond i little repair work they find nearer, and most of them have gone into the business of re moving trees, so the outlook for shade trees Is rather gloomy; but It will be some time before the cement walks drive them off all the streets. Roscoe Oakes III. The many friends In this city of Roscoe Oakes, who-has been a commercial traveler In the employ of Neustadter Bros, for about 12 years, will be sorry to learn that he Is down sick with typhoid fever, at The Dalles. The firm will see that he has every attention needed, and hopes to see him out again before long. Sidney Roxworthy, another of Neustadter Bros.' commercial travel ers, who lost the use of his lower limbs about a year ago, through a stroke of paralysis, was at the store yesterday. In good spirits and as cheerful as possible. He says he can almost stand alone, and Is certain that he Is going to be a sound man again. For several months he has been able to get around town In a chair with wheels, which he operated with a crank. He has just received an up-to-date wheeled chair, with levers to be operated by both hands and feet, which will enable him to exercise his lego, and hasten his recovery. He Is a brave-hearted young fellow, who has never despaired through the long, tedious year since he has been .disabled, but has kept up his courage and his 'spirits, and he deserves to recover. Seven Trees Gone. The seven tall and statejy poplars which have stood so long on Couch street, near Front, have been cut down and are being made into cord wood. The "old Globe Hotel, which they shaded, looks rather sickly in the light of day. These trees were probably set out by F. Blckel. who owned the property behind them for many years, and, as. pop lars were cheap, he set out seven of them on 100 feet. This prevented them from becoming larger than three feet In diam eter, but one of them was 170 feet high, and the others nearly as high. The prop erty In front of which these trees stood was bought by Messrs. Clbsset & Devers several months ago. It is not known how much they paid extra for the seven tall and stately trees, but, the sidewalk being all decayed under them, they had to be removed. It costs the new owners 512 each, or JS4 In all, to have the trees re moved, and they are now probably sorry that there had not been less of them. It Is a good thing that the trees are gono at last. They should have been removed years ago, but they have now gone to stay. Against Lloyd's Petition. The navi gation committee of the Chamber of Com merce has reported adversely upon the pe tition of Lloyd's for the privilege of ob taining shipping intelligence from the weather stations of Tatoosh Island and North Head. Lloyd's has asked the De partment of Agriculture for th!s privilege and the request Is still pending. The re port says that -Lloyd's has equal oppor tunity with every other association or corporation for securing marine Intelli gence through the regular channels of the Merchants' Exchange, of 'Portland, and the Marine Exchange, of Seattle. "We would suggest, says the report, "that Lloyd's make arrangements with these exchanges for quick reports, and we hope that Lloyd's will embody the names of North Head and Tatoosh Island in their list of signal stations where ships may report If necessary." Y. W. C. A. to Have New Quarters. The Young Women's Christian Associa tion expects to leave Its present quarters In the Macleay building about December 1. The new location will be at Sixth and Oak streets, opposite Trinity Church. Willie this is not quite as central as the present place occupied by the Y. W. C. A. it is Btill very desirable, as there will be more room, the two entire upper floors of the building having been engaged. The attractive and well-served lunchroom which has been such a popular and suc cessful feature of the association will, of course, be continued, and a number of new attractions are to be added, among them being a glee club, which Is now being organized, and for which 75 voices are wanted. W. H. H. Reed Absent From Court. There was no response yesterday morn ing when the name of W. H. H. Keed was called In Justice of the Peace Reld's courtrdom. to answer a charge of threat ening to kill Miss Jennlo Lawton. Reed was arrested Tuesday night by Deputy Sheriff Adklns, and secured $100 ball -for his appearance before the Justlcet His bondsmen started on a still hunt after him. Reed and Miss Lawton have been In litigation before. . She said yesterday that she 'and Reed had a dispute because he wished her to return a note and mort gage. She refused to do this, and states that Reed then said: "I'll kill you. I will get you when I get the others." She says that she is afraid ho will carry out his threat. Occupation Tax Paid Without Kick ing. The receipts from the occupation tax yesterday were larger than on any day during the delinquent period of the quarter. Nearly 40 persons subject to the tax paid up, and the amounts of their taxes ran from $1 to $G0. No complaints against the ordinance (something un usual) were made, and all seemed to be content to pay the assessment. No Woman's Club Todat. Owing to the funeral of Mrs. Jane C. Card, which Is to be held today at 2 o'clock, at the Unitarian Church, Mrs. Duniway will not hold her weekly reception to the Woman's Club, of which Mrs. Card was the first president. Hallowe'en Supper at Taylor-Street Church, corner Third street, tomorrow night, from 6 to 8 o'clock. Home cooking, Including pumpkin pie and doughnuts. Umbrellas made In Oregon; latfst styles; lowest prices. Repairing and re covering. Meredith's, Washington and 6th, Corrugated Ibon Roofino. J. C. Bayer, 2C5 Second. Mote in Mr. Gaston's Ete. Joseph Gaston went to an oculist yesterday morning to have what he thought was a beam removed from one of his eyes, but which proved to .be only a mote, and, despite x scriptural quotation which he misunderstood or misquoted, he says it Is always the other fellow who has the beam In his eye. The opening of Main street through his property, which he ha.d suc cessfully opposed for. 0 years, was finally accomplished some time ago, through the aid, as he thinks, of perjury, chicanery and other Improper but efficient aid's. If the cut had been made Ave feet In depth, it Is not unlikely that the property might have been assessed for benefits, but by making the cut 12 feet deep his property has been practically ruined. He got the mote In his eye by climbing a cedar tree on his place, which Is 70( feet high. In order to attach guy ropes 'to It that it might better withstand the storms of Winter. It stands close by the cut made through his property, a'nd about half the roots were removed during the excavation. He desired to preserve It as a monument to Main street, and so climbed to the very top and attached four ropes, which Is a smart piece cf work for a man of 70, and the only won der is that he did net get a real stick of timber in his eye. Instead of a mote". The ropes have been stretched, and made fast In positions where they will hold the cedar in place, and now he can sit at his case and hear the Winter gales soughing through Its branches without feeling alarmed about Its being prostrated. Bridge Is Too Narrow. It was re ported to the superintendent of the Street Cleaning Department yesterday morning that one of the dump carts being used In taking up sweepings on the east approach of the Madison-street bridge; between 10 and 11 o'clock the night before, had been run into by an electric car and demol ished. The driver and his horse escaped In some way, and took the names of the motorman and conductor on the car, but gave no further Information about it. It will be remembered a city dump cart was destroyed at about the same place about a month ago, and the driver so badly In jured that he Is still in hospital. Streets cleaners and motormen will do well to keep a bright lookout while on the Madison-street bridge. Near the west end of the bridge, on Tuesday night, a street cleaner had driven his cart close up to the curb and was throwing In his load of sweepings from behind ft. Just as he was throwing in a shovelful a man carte, suddenly out of the darkness and" was struck In the face by the shovel, and one of his cheeks v,ery badly cut. It was necessary to call a doctor to dress the wound, which was a very painful and serious one. Pedestrians crossing the Madison-street bridge at night will do well to keep a safe distance from cars and street cleaning carts. Cathedral Fair Raises $5313 20. The financial committee of St. Mary's Pro Cathedral Fair, which was held in Mer rill's Cyclery, October 13 to 23, reported last evening that the total receipts were $G313 20. As only a few hundred dollars will be subtracted for expenses. It is ap parent that the fair was highly success ful. The money received will be devoted to needed improvements in the cathedral and to" sustain the running expenses of the parish. The tables of the various so cieties connected with the church took In the greater part of the receipts. They report as follows: St. Ann's Society, $900 10; Children of Mary, $814 95; Library Association, $750 85: Ladles' Aid Society, ?544 55; Altar Society, $229 30. The remain der was received from admissions, the country store, the dining-room and the contests for the most popular street and railway conductors.' This Is the most profitable fair ever held by this church, and the committee agrees that the pleas ant result was largely due to the efforts of the lady members of the church. Funeral op Marcus Simpson. The funeral of the late Marcus Simpson, whose death on Friday last has hitherto been announced, occurred yesterday, the cere monial features being held In the after noon at Grace Methodist Church. The services at the church, and later at the grave, were conducted by Rev. A. N. Fisher, editor of the Pacific Christian Advocate, and Rev. J. R. T. Lathrop, pastor of Grace Church. The official bodies of the several Methodist organiza tions In the city, with many friends of the deceased, attended the services at the church, and accompanied the body to Its last resting place In Rlvervlew cem etery. The pallbearers were: Messrs. D. W. Wakefield, A. L. Mohler, Ralph Piatt, W. W. Cotton, Alfred Holman, Henry Connor, Judge H. H. Northup and Mr. Caruthers. Union Charges Discrimination. It ap pears that an Incorrect statement was published concerning the disagreement be tween the Longshoremen's Union and Balfour, Guthrie & Co. The company, it seems, is paying the same wages as other firms, and that the union has no com plaints to make concerning the scale of wages, but declares thir ti.e u lag discriminated against on Montgom ery dock No. 1, and whether the -company or the foreman of the dock Is re sponsible for this they do . r bear no ill towards the comnnv - union men, they say, are being hired there in preference to union men. A mmhei of the firm of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. states that there is no discrimination, but that suitable men are engaged, wheth er or not they are members of the union. Fair Attracts Foreign Notice. The name of the Lewis and Clark Fair has crossed the sea to foreign lands. Some time ago the committee of the fair on press and publicity sent to the Consuls of the United States in foreign countries notices of a $250 prize to be awarded In competition, for the best design symbolic of the Lewis and- Clark expedition and of the centennial In the explorers' honor. Responses have been received from the Consuls at Frankfort, Gcrniauy; ..ai Manchester, Amsterdam and Munlc" Th'ey say that the. notices have beer brought to the attention irt'-- Offers of Postoffice Sites. Postmas ter Croasman has been deluged the last few days with offers from property-owners who think that they have desirable sites for a temporary postoffice. The present quarters have to be" vacated as soon as possible, and some suitable place has 10 be secured with all dispatch. Sev eral owners along Sixth and Seventh streets have made propositions to Mr. Croasman, either to build or to refit old buildings, but thus far nothing suitable for tne purpose has been offered. Mothers' Meeting. The mothers' monthly meetings, that were so success fully conducted In the city schools last term, have been resumed. The next will be held at the Harrison-Street School, Friday, October 31. The subject for dis cussion is "Mothers and Teachers." All mothers are cordially Invited. Present to City Museum.

AT THE THEATERS "Florodora." Cyrus W. Gllfaln Chafes Dox Capt. Arthur Donegal...Willard Curtlss Frank Abercoed Charles H. Bowers f Anthony Tweedlepunch.Alf. C. Wheelan Dolores.....' Corlnne Angela Gllfaln Grace Hazard Lady Kolyrood -.Eleanor Falk When a musical comedy has had the success that "Florodora," now at the Marquam, has achieved. It becomes diffi cult not to expect too much. That was the feeling that rnany had last night they had expected too much. But it is very doubtful if pleasure did not drown every other sense by the time the second act was well under way. The plot cf this piece Is a sweet disen tanglement of a somewhat frail thread. There Is so much that will bear but the slightest strain of attention that too arduous pursuit of the elusive jest will cause a break. But accepted for juiit what It Is, a cream of comedy whipped up Into an evanescent and adorable con fection, there Is little fault to find. The proprietor of the Island of Florodora Is a newly rich, rather credulous American, let us suppose. By occult necromancy he has got possession of what does not be long to him. Hi3-attempts to fix this In secure wealth by marrying the obscure and rightful heiress are foiled. How? That is the whole comedy. The music Is as familiar as an old hymn tune, but that does not prevent its be ing fascinating still. Unfortunately this, like the book. Is of a tenuity that requires careful handling. The singers are fair and In general, the songs are well ren dered. Corlnne, who sang the part of Dolores, has a sweet voice and a piquant manner. She has. moreover, a delectable freedom.from affectation that makes the lliter.er feel sympathetic. Her duet with Mr. Bowers, as Abercoed, was very well done. Indeed. Mr. Bowers himself found a pleasing way of hurrying around, and his voice redeemed his haste of action-. To Eleanor Falk belongs the palm. Her work Is of, the first order; It has the brilliancy and sureness tbflat show a fin ished artist. Her singing of "Tact" is the genuine English music-hall style and she must be heard twice to be fully ap preciated. Miss Hazzard is an adorable maiden with a bewitching smile. Her voice Is of the tenderest, but hen, acting Is taking and her mere presence Is like pickles for pungency. Why Cyrus Gllfaln is such a dull fellow has often been a matter of discussion, but Mr. Dox does his best and sings a good song. The triumph of comedy Is Mr. Wheelan, who can be so very funny that It la dangerous to see all of each Joke. His acting In the second act was exqui site. Never was a drunken man so com ical before. Drunk or sober, Anthony Tweedlepunch Is delicious and one can only wish that the first act was as funny as the second, which It Is not But we might excuse (not pardon) his French. The chorus is composed of many yodng women, all seven feet tall and incan descent. It Is Impossible for the human eye to keep track of all of them at once and while the heart palpitates for admira tion of one there Is the sting of jealousy of 40 others that can't be watched. The material and human scenery are both good. The ballet Is effective and not too complicated. Of course the "Tell Me, Pretty Maiden," was the favorite of the whole performance. This musical comedy, really good and really funny, will be seen for the rest of the week. "Barbara Frletchle," at Cordray's. Mis3 Elizabeth Forbes and her excel lent supporting company of ladles and. gentlemen now playing nightly in Clyde Fitch's great- war aroma, "Barbara Frletchle," at Cordray's Theater, are cer tainly attracting much attention from the big audiences -that nightly applaud . the -many thrilling situations. The loveraffalr between Barbara and Captain Trumbull, a Union officer, on the steps of the Frletchle house Is a very pretty scene. The second act takes place at a Lutheran minister's house In Hagerstown, on the following day, when the marriage Is about to be performed between Barbara and the Northern Captain. The wedding is In terrupted by the rattle of musketry, and a hail of bullets, and Captain Trumbull hurries away to Join his regiment. The third act shows the Interior of the Frletchle home In Frederick, where Cap tain Trumbull, wounded to death. Is taken and secreted from the search gang of the Confederates. The scene herein depicted between Barbara and Jack Negley, a Southern youth who has gone crazy for love of Barbara, has been described by the press as being one of the most in tensely dramatic eveij shown upon the stage In the fourth act Is the scene where Stonewall Jackson gives his famous com mand to his men, "Who touches a hair on yon woman's head dies like a dog"; for Barbara has taken the American flag from the dead body of her Northern lover and is waving it' before the eyes of the soldiers of the South. A ladles' and chil dren's matinee will be given Saturday af ternoon. Seats now selling. "The Wife" at Baker's. Notwithstanding the crowded house that greeted "Florodora" at the Marquam Grand, last night, almost every seat was sold at the Baker Theater, where the Nelll Stock Company is giving an excellent per formance of Belasco and Do Mllle's great play, "The Wife." COMING ATTRACTIONS. Italian Dnnil Returns. The return engagement of Ellery's Royal Italian Band will be played at the Armory, Tenth and Couch streets, next Saturday afternoon and night, also Sun day afternoon and night. Seats will be placed on sale at the Aldrlch Pharmacy, Sixth and Washington streets, and at the Marquam Grand Theater box office tomorrow (Friday) morning, at 10 o'clock. "FInnlBanV Rail" Coming. For three nights only, starting Thurs day, November 6, with a Saturday mat inee. "Finnlgan's Ball" will be given at Cordray's Theater. A true son of the "ould sod" will tell you that there is only one real Irish comedy, and that is "Finnigan's " Ball." The reason for this Is its absolute fidelity to Irish traditions. Its quaint humor, which is at Jtlmes spiced with rollicking eong. Is always attuned to a great heart interest. A Record-Brealcer at Baker's. If the Interest which Is being shown In the coming production of "Held by the Enemy" by the Nelll Stock Company, at the Baker Theater, next week, starting with Sunday matinee. Is any criterion, all Delicate I Have usecf Pearl ine for eight years. Am never without it. Use it with the most delicate fab rics and with coarse things. Find it satis factory in all things. Mrs. Rev. G. E. L. One of the Millions. 63o former records of the house will be smashed. No sooner was the announce ment made by the management that this great play was going to be put on at the Baker, than theretvas an Immediate de mand for seats, and this demand has so it creased that the question now- is: "Will it be possible to accommodate the Immense crowds that will every night more than test the full capacity of this popular play house?" It can be said, with all due conservatism, that "Held by the Enemy" Is, without ex ception, the most famous and at the same time most successful war drama ever writ ten; and that the Nelll Stock Company will do It full justice cannot be gainsaid. When an announcement is made that this company Is going to produce a play there is no other comment to be made than "It will be a notable success In every respect." "A Glimpse of the Harem." This great painting will -be on exhibition all this week on Stark street, opposite the Chamber of Commerce. It has been hung in the salons of all the leading art centers of Europe, and as a work of real intrinsic merit It has received the hearti est commendation of American critics. THEATER MUSICIANS TO STRIKE. Twelve Hundred Men in Paris Will Go Ont Today. PARIS, Oct. 29. The musicians of the Paris theaters, at a meeting today, voted unanimously In favor of a general strike, beginning tomorrow at noon. Twelve hun dred musicians were represented at the meeting. The decision to strike Is the result of a protracted conflict with the managers of the theaters over wages and extras for rehearsals and matinees. The meeting adopted resolutions to ex cept the Grand Opera and the Opera Comique from the strike movement, be cause these houses receive government subventions. All the other theaters of Paris, however, ar Included. The mu slqians have been forbidden to treat In dividually with the theaters, and they wore directed to assemble tomorrow at midday at the Labor Exchange, prepared to resume playing, If the theaters yield to their demands. The public Is keenly Interested In the proposed strike, because If It goes Into effect. It threatens to leave Paris without music. The directors of the theaters have been Interviewed, and declare they will not yield. The Cluny Theater and the Folles Dra matlques have already discharged their orchestras. The Nouveau Circus an nounces that the striking musicians will be replaced by nonstrlkers. The Concert Parislen has put In pianos played by elec tric batteries. The leading singers In Paris share the anxiety of the public, de claring it is Impossible for them to sing without orchestral accompaniment. The managers insisted that the artists rehearse free, and the musicians should also do so. Alliance to Stop Sunday Shown.. NEW YORK, Oct. 29. A number of actors, actresses and clergymen have, at a meeting In this city, adopted a consti tution for the Actors' Church Alliance, a National organization, the object of which is to unite the interests of the stage and the church against Sunday performances. The meeting was a long and spirited one, the delegates being un able to come to an understanding on many of the points of organization, and an adjournment was taken with the idea of drawing up satisfactory by-laws. Bishop Potter was to have acted as chairman, but a letter was read. In which he expressed his appreciation of the work done by the alliance, and offered to con tribute toward, a fund to aid In the main tenance of an organizer In the fleld, to arouse interest In the work In all of the cities of the country. Officers were elected today as follows: Bishop Henry C. Potter, president; Jo seph Jefferson, flrst vice - president; George D. Maclntyre, second vice-president; Rev. Walter E. Bentley, general secretary',- and Mrs. Marie Wilson Mc Water, treasurer. : 'On the Stroke of 12." "On the Stroke of 12," a realistic drama, will be the offering at Cordray's Theater four night, beginning with a Sunday mat inee, "November 2. The story has for its central figure the son of a rich widower. The boy Is Induced to bet on a horse. Trouble comes when the horse loses, and the plot develops a forgery which Is not the son's, but of which his father believes him guilty. Prison scenes follow, but af ter all the end is happy. COLLEGE BREACH WIDENS Students Make New Move Against Faculty of Michigan. LANSING, Mich., Oct. 29. The striking Michigan Agricultural College students had another mass meeting today, and de cided that In case any paper appears from the faculty for students to sign. It shall not be signed until It has been brought up and passed on in mass meeting of the students. This only widens the breach be tween the students and faculty. A Hal loween resolution was also adopted, by the provisions of which every stude'nt binds himself to stay In his room that night and not cut any capers. There are no signs of yielding on either side as yet. Mngnnnlmona Act of Convict. BALTIMORE, Oct. 29. The body of Ar thur Spencer, the noted convict, who com mitted suicide In the Maryland peniten tiary on- Thursday, was burled today In the Western cemetery, the expenses hav ing been paid from a fund raised .by his .fellow convicts.
