A young man who lately arrived here from "High" Germany Is astonished to find this coun try so much like what he expected It to be. He has read many books In German about the "wild West and the wild ani mals which inhabit it," which books were written In the days of Kit Carson, when the buffalo roamed over the plains in vast herds and grizzly bears were plentiful. He had been told that he would find that this region had made some strides in civ ilization, but that he might still find wild animals here. The first day after he ar rived he strolled into the back yard of a down-town market, where there are two beautiful bears, and one of them in wan ton mood tore one of the legs of his trous ers !nto shreds with its naw. Then he went down to the coast to visit a friend, and saw a whale trying to butt down the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, and Just knocking things endways. He had not read of whales doing such things, and was astonished, but more so when later another whale came floating in dead. He returned Saturday, and while walking up Third street a caged eagle on the side walk, at which he Jointed his linger, took a section of it half off. He was trying to imagine that not half the truth had been told about this wild West when the next thing he ran against was a devH-flsb 13 feet from Up to Up, and weighing 75 pounds, hanging in front of a market. While examining this the dealer asked him to lake a hunk homo and try it, but he said he would as lief undertake to eat the devil himself. Now he says ho has seen enough for a while, and Is going back home, where there are no wild ani mals or whales or devil-fish. Revival at the Fiust Baptist Church. A largo company was present at the Bible-reading jon Hebrew given at the First Baptist Church. The tablets found T years ago at Tel-el-Armah. in Egypt, prove the story of Abraham and Melchize dek. In the evening the boys and girls eang several pieces beautifully.. A good congregation was present. Dr. Shepard son's Uieme was "The Perfect Priesthood of Christ" "In all lands," said he, "there. Is a craving for God. All nations worship. Everywhere there is a sense of sin, and following this there is everywhere a de mand for a priest. But human priests do not meet the case. Human priests, wheth er papal or pagan, soon become oppres sive. Wherever priests have power the people suffer. Look at India, look at Mexico, look at the Philippines all human priests oppress when they can. But God has provided a priest in the person of his Son, the only priest the world needs the very Son of God, who never will op press, but will sympathize and help; a priest who is a living priest forever." The Interest is deeper than at any stage of the xneetings. There will be a lecture this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and preaching in the evening; subject, "The Manliness of the Christian Life." , Bot Fails to Claim Bictcle. There is inquiry about an unknown boy who has mysteriously disappeared, as so many peo ple do these days. Last September he was riding by the Gambrlnus brewery on a bi cycle, when In some way he slipped a cog and ran against a telephone post. The (handle-bar of his bicycle was bent and hls hand cut, and his head struck the pole. He was knocked senseless and badly Jolt ed and shaken up. An engineer at the brewery picked him up, dressed his wounds and got him on his feet again. He wanted to send the lad to. a hospital, but he said he lived on Everett street, and would walk home. Ho asked what he should do with his bicycle, and was told that he could leave it there and it would be taken care of till he came after it The bicycle is still at the brewery, but noth ing has been seen or heard of the boy since, and the engineer is anxious to know what has become of him. It is probable that the boy is either sick or dead, and so unable to come after his bicycle, as, if he were on earth and able to get about, he would have called for it before this time. Bot Burglars in Court. A. Clark and Harry Wilkens, two of the boy burglars who were caught by Detectives Snow and Kerrigan Saturday, appeared in court yes terday and pleaded guilty to a charge of larceny from a store. The boys have been bold and daring from the time of their arrest, and disposed to make light of their predicament. The strain was too great for Clark yesterday, however, and when he was told that ho would be held to ap pear before the grand jury he burst Into tears. He said that he did not realize what he was doing, and that he would never forget the lesson that he , had learned. Charles Boggus, who at the Ume of his arrest gave his name as Hayes, pleaded not guilty to the charge against him of breaking the window of the Log Cabin saloon and taking a revolver. He has engaged an attorney to defend him, and the case will be taken up Wednesday. GAS buot burning. The Plntsch gas buoy off the mouth of the Columbia, which suffered a temporary eclipse for some Ume, owing to the tremendous seas run ning there lately, was relighted on the last trip of the lighthouse-tender Manza nita, and is now burning as brightly as ever. Though these buoys had withstood all kinds of rough water on the Great Lakes, the big combers of the Pacific were a little too much for tho mechanism and the flame was washed out. This buoy was staUoned off the Columbia as an ex periment, but stood the hard test very successfully unUl the light was put out a short time ago. It was filled ;svlth enough gas to give a continuous light for six months, and its term of loneliness will not be up for some Ume yet. Looked Down on Fog Banks. The dense fog which enveloped the city on Sunday and Monday mornings was not spread on very thick, and the steeples of most of the churches rose above it. On Portland Heights the sun was shining brlghUy, and residents there saw the sil ver lining of the fog bank as they looked down on the city and those who dwell in lowly places. These are the days when owners of property on the heights invite their friends and the public generally to come up and see the sun rise, and thei fly to sell them lots at boom prices. It it nice to be up -in the world, and only those who inhabit lofty regions can tell "how hard it is to climb." ' Germans to Discuss Building. The regular annual meeUng of the German Aid Society will be held this evening at the rooms of the society. Eleventh and Mor- rlson streets, at which Ume the advisabll- uy oi tne amalgamation or me uerman Aid Society with the German Turnverein and the erection of a German building will come up for consideration. Gift to Library. The Portland Public Library is in receipt of the Jewish ency clopedia, in 12 volumes, as a gift from tho Independent Order of B'nal B'rlth. This is considered one of the most valuable works of reference published In recent years, and the librarian is naturally very much pleased to receive the donation. The Executive Board of the School of Domestic Science has determined to offer a prize scholarship to be given to any one getUng up a class of 14 (including herself) in either the Individual or demonstration class.

Hotel 'Bus Breaks Down. A load of i passengers in the Perkins Hotel "bus got treated to a little surprise last night not down on the programme. The 'bus backed up to the curb on Fifth street, and, having secured a full load of travelers of both sexes. It slowly started on Its way to the station over the billowy streets that have made Portland famous. It did not get far on Its journey. It only went as far as the street-car ralfc on Fifth street, when the wheel on the starboard quarter became tangled in the tracks and snapped the axle off at the hub. There was a crash as the conveyance rolled over on its side, and a great breakage of glass and side rigging after the forcible encounter with the paving-stones. Inside there was much con fusion, for the 'bus was filled to the brim. Feminine shrieks, Infantine walls and guttural imprecations from the men folks filled the air, while the imprisoned passenger crawled out of the little door in the back of the vehicle. After the wreck the 'bus was badly damaged, and had the appearance of the wonderful "one hoss shay" that Oliver Wendell Holmes made famous. The passengers had no fur ther use for it and went to the railway station on the car. Sixth-Street Asphalt Needs Repair. People who use the sidewalks principally in their strolling about town do not ob tain so much Information in regard to the condition of the streets as those who ride about in an automobile, says E. H. Wemme. He had been telling a reporter that the asphalt pavement on the lower end of Sixth streot was in a very bad state, and the reporter had replied that he thought the street was in fair condi tion. To settle the matter the reporter hoarded Mr. Wemme's automobile and was "driven" down Sixth to Glisan. and .found that it required skillful engineering to get around the holes, which make the pavement look as If pitted by smallpox, and almost Impassable for heavy trucks. In several places the deepest holes are filled with slabwood to enable trucks to pass over. Mr. Wemme says the city paid some $5000 for repairing this pavement less than a year ago, and it is now as bad as ever, if not worse. He has a piece of property on the street, and will endeavor to obtain permission to put .in a stone block pavement in front of it, for he con siders the asphalt beyond repair. Thief Helps to Catch Himself. By not being acquainted with the city, Otto Grlssler made a mistake yesterday which led to his arrest and conviction for lar ceny. Ed Rosenthal has two stores. Grlssler stole a pair of shoes from one of them and went to the other to sell them. Rosenthal knows his stock In trade, and having been the unfortunate victim of a fire some time ago. this particular pair of shoes was so marked that he knew them positively to have come from his store. They were heavy logging shoes, such as sell for about $3, and the man offered them to him for 50 cents. He thought it strange that he would buy them of one store for $3 and sell them to nnother for 50 cents, so immediately Inquired if anything was missed from the other store. It was found that these shoes had been on exhibition at tho other store, and had been stolen that same anernoon. unssier torn a. inmo murj about having received tho shoes from a sick friend, but as he did not know the friend's name or address, he was found cruiltv of the crime and sentenced to six months in the City Jail. Life on the Raging Columbia. The class of men along the lower river who fish during the Summer and chop cord wood during tho Winter are in no humor for doing either at present, according to the story of one who employs a lot of them. He says that all quit choppjng wood a while ago and rigged out a net or two and caught several fine chlnook salmon, which one of them took to Astoria and sold for $3L They then started in on a jamboree, which was kept up unUl $30 of the money was gone. They then con eluded to buy CO cents worth of beans from their employer and get some more whisky with the remaining 50 cents, but when he looked good-natured they bought the beans on credit and spent the whole dollar for whisky. Between drinks they went out and gathered up a scowload of shingle blocks which were washed out of the Cowlitz River by the flood and split enough of these Into stovewood to boil their beans, and between eaUng boiled beans and drinking whisky they are en joying life to the hilt Such is life on the raging Columbia. Interest in the Legislature. There appears to be more than ordinary interest taken in the Legislature this session. Early yesterday morning The Oregonlan commenced, to receive Inquiries "by tele phone for InformaUon from Salem as to whether anything had been done toward effccUng an organizaUon or not, and all day long reporters were hailed in all parts of the city and asked, "What is the latest from Salem?" When they asked for news Uiey were told that all the talent and knowledge of tho state was assembled at Salem, and the fountain of all news was here. Early in tho afternoon a waiUng public was informed that Brownell and Harris had been elected. After the or ganizaUon is effected and the Legislature gets down to routine business the excite ment will subside and things will go on smoothly and quietly Chamber of Commerce Meeting. The annual meeting of the members of the PorUand Chamber of Commerce will be held in the rooms of the Commercial Club, eighth floor. Chamber of Commerce building, at 8 P. M. Wednesday, January 14, 1903. At this Ume the annual reports of officers will be read, and officers and trustees will be elected for the ensuing year. The routine business of the meet ing will bo brief, and will be followed by the annual smoker of the Chamber of Commerce, Interspersed with music Re freshments will be served. There will also be short addresses by well-known. Portland men. The attendance of all members of tho Chamber of Commerce is earnestly requested. Crushed bt Falling Lumber. Ernes Carlson and James Ellis were caught be neath a pile of falling lumber at tho Eastern Lumber Companyws yards yester day morning and sustained serious in Juries. Carlson's Jaw was broken In two places, his head badly scarred and his arm broken. The chances for his recovery seem to be slight Ellis sustained a few scalp wounds and a broken rib. His In juries will not prove to be of a serious nature. In building a pile which was quite high the men did not take the proper care to make it secure. A slight Jar toppled it over and the two victims were crushed be neath the weight of sei'eral thousand feet of lumber. . Bills to Amend Library Law. Owing to Uie fact that the Portland Public LI brary Is badly hampered for lack of funds, Milton W. Smith has caused a bill to be drawn up which will allow the levy of the City of Portland to be Increased to a larg er-amount This bill will be Introduced In the Legislature some time this week by a membor of the Multnomah delegation. W. 'L. Brewster also has in preparation a bill which will allow smaller ciUes to levy suf ficlent taxes to institute libraries, for as the law now stands Portland is the only city in the state that has sufficient tax able propery on which to obtain any rea sonable- amount for tho use of libraries. Burglars in Drug Store. Burglars broke Into Eyssell's drug store, on Morri son street Sunday night but did not get much plunder. They seemed to be looking for cash only, and nothing but GO cents which had been left in the cash register was taken. The burglars forced an en trance through the back door. Expressmen Elect Officers. The fol lowlng-named officers have been elected for the Expressmen s Union: President Thomas Garner; vice-president, William H. Lanlus; secretary and Treasurer, A.

The holders of membership tickets will have a rare treat next Monday, tho 15th, of which detailed account will be given Jn due season. Guinean's Remedy for catarrh and colds AT THE THEATERS "The Tyranny of Tears." Mrs. Parbury ....Graco Hobart Hanson Hyaclnthe Woodard Rose Tiffany George Gunning Charles Bertram Colonel Armltage C. T. Watson Evans Robert W. Bruner Soloist Bessie. Wynn Clement Parbury Paul Gllmoro At the outset It is surprising to realize how seven people forming the entire cast of the English comedy of temperament. 'The Tyranny of Tears, could hold the attention of an audience to such a delight ful finish at the Marquam Grand Theater last night The actors told a story of surpassing Interest and clever repartee, dealing so delicately and so charmingly with the problem of how to be happy, though married, that It was not a ques tion at all how many people acted. The comedy was written by liadden Chambers, and In it John Drew achieved one of his greatest successes. It deals with the family life of Clement Parbury, a successful English novelist, who resides in one of the suburbs of London, and In the first act It Is seen that Mrs. Parbury rules her husband, body and soul, by hav ing her own way In everything. If he dares to show that he has a mind or a real thought of his own, she breaks out Into a deluge of tears, and he gives in, of course. Matters are in this Interesting condition when an old friend calls, George Gunning, whom Parbury knew at Eaton and Cambridge Universities. Gunning is a bit of a cynic in his way, and he ad vises Parbury to rebel against the tearful rule of his wife, but he falls In lovo with his host's secretary-typewriter, Hyaclnthe Woodard, who Is a living Icicle, so far as disposition is concerned. A climax occurs when Mrs. Parbury discovers Miss Wood ard kissing Parbury's photograph, and the secretary Is ordered off the premises. She refuses, and a domesUc scene ensues be tween the Parburys, in which Mrs. 1'ar- bury goes home to her father's house, but onlv to return again. Paul Gllmore, the Clement Parbury of the play, has been starring for five vears. and he appeared here nine years ago as a member of Chauncey Olcott's com pany. He belongs to Wisconsin, ana nis mature work shows that he has a very promising career before him as one of the leading actors in this country, itose n fany. the secretary, and Grace Hobart Hanson, the wife, take their parts atimir ably. Charles Bertram, the cynic who at last finds peace, Is an unusually clever actor. The scenery In the rose garden. third act, is well worth seeing. Sole for "Wnrflcld. The advance sale of seats will begin this morning at 10 o'clock for Warileld In his familiar character portrayal of the New York East Side Hebrew, who Will be eceri at the Marauam Grand Theater next Thursday, Friday, Saturday maUneo and night His nlay "The AucUoneers," In which he made hte debut last season as a star, remaining at the Bijou for four months and establishing himself nrmiy as a metropolitan favorite, has proven an excellent medium. It appeals strongly to the heart as well as to the sense of humor, and Mr. Warfield's exposition of the nrlnclpal character Is very artistic Mr. Belasco has seen that the production and cast have been kept to the original high standard which distinguishes all his attractions. A His Audience nt Cordrny'a. Another large audience greeted that eplondld play "Down by the Sea" last night at Cordrays cozy theater.
