A citi zen, who Is having a cement sidewalk built In front of his residence, applied ct the City Engineer's office yesterday lor permission to place an Iron hltchlng post 18 Inches In height on tho curb Instead of the Iron rlne provided for In the ordinance retaliating; the construction of cement sidewalks. The reason given for this request was that horses hitched to rings often get restless, get their feet over the hitching strap and break their bridles. Sometimes they throw them selves down, turn over and break buggies to which they are hitched. Engineer El liott said he had no authority to grant the permission asked. The law required a hitching ring and he could not change It. A hitching post came under the head of "obstructions to sidewalks" and would have to be removed. Many say thit If horses are kept checked up a little when hitched to a ring so that they cannot get their noses to the ground, they will not get their feet over the halter strap atiacnea to a ring, and further thit a hitching post 18 Inches high Is dangerous to Horses and vehicles in rase of a run away or other trouble. The few con crete bicycle racks seen about town ap pear not to hive been troubled. They are such an Improvement on the old style racks which took up a quarter of the walk that no one has complained of them. Dur. tne number is still Hmall. Spring in the Citt Paiik. A number of men were put at work yesterday trimming rosebushes In the City Park. Parkkeeper Lowltz is conlident that the worst of winter is past, and thit there win oe no more frost to hurt anythlns. Rosebushes have hardly been dormant, and If not pruned at once will begin to sprout. Then it will be necessary to cut off more wood than Is desirable. Mr. Lowltz has had a lot of men at work spading up grass plats In order to res cod tbem, and Is having the footpaths through the park put in order for Spring. He is also building a new driveway Into the park from Jefferson street. About SOi) feet of this is completed and 1000 to 1500 feet more will be built, giving a much better grade than the old road had. On the elope beck of the mountain, where the carpet beds were, 2000 hyacinth bulbs are being planted, which will make a fine early show of bloom. The birds and animals In the. park are all in good condition. A large number of breeding boxes have been placed in the birdcages and it is the Intention of Mr. Lowitz to raise a large number of canary birds this year. Novo. Effect in Brick. The front of the building being erected at Third and Salmon by the Holm in Undertaking Company Is up nearly one story, and at tracts much attention, as it Is entirely different from anything In the building line seen here before. The material is buff bricks, which Is thicker at ono end than the other. In building the arches over the door and windows the ends of the bricks are cut to angles, each different to the other, producing a very singular effect. The builder said yester day that he did not know what kind of arches they were, but he called them "three circle" arches. The effect of tho wedgeishaped bricks and the angles at the ends Is to give the columns and cor ners and arches an appearance as if they '"Were about to fall. The front looks just os if an earthquake wave or "trembler" had run through it, and had started It to tumble. If any one cannot understand this description he can take a look at the front and try to write a better one. Private Sidewalks Thrown Open. The fine piece of cement sidewalk built on Everett street, across the tier of Park blocks, .as a present to the city from Messrs. Classett & Devers, wis thrown open for travel yesterday. The walk Is 100 feet long with fwo corners and curb, all complete, and cost the donors $110. At "each end there is stamped In the concrete, the words: "Presented to the city' by Classett & Devers." Mr. Ievcrs eays the' Intention Is to help beautify the Park blocks, and to set an example to induce others to do the same, and thus help along in the way of public improve ment. He thinks the inscription on the walk will keep his memory green in the minds of all who use it, and that he can enjoy the walk while on earth much bet ter than he would c costly monument which might never be built over his ashes. Citt Engineer's Omen is Bust. The City Engineer and his deputies are up to their eyes In business these days, as the Council at their last meeting directed estimates to be prepared showing the amount of work Involved and the cost of improvements for SI streets. Notices for proposed sewers hire to be made out and posted. All this means a great deal more work than would be Imagined, and all hands have been working far Into the night. There is at least four times as much clerical work In connection with street and sewer improvements to be done In the Engineer's office now as there used to be 10 years ago, owing to the changes In the system, growth of the city and the increase in the number of streets being opened, .extended and improved. Lawter and His Chickens. A lawyer who operates a chicken ranch by proxy, for amusement, complained a while ago because his chickens would not lay. while his neighbors were producing lots of eggs. Then his chickens went to laying, and now he complains because they won't sit. TVhen asked why he did not get an incu bator, he said, "Oh! it Is too much trou ble." He wants his chickens to lay the eggs, hatch them and attend to bringing up" the young chickens. "When asked if be was hungry for spring chicken he said he hid eaten it every Sunday for two months, but these chickens were hatched In an incubator. He still declines to pur chase one for his flock. "What he will complain about next remains to be seen. Oreoon Fire Clax is Good. A sample of fireclay from a deposit lately dis covered In this state has been analyzed by J. H. Flak, of this city, for C. F. Lester, of TVarrenton. The analysis com pares very favorably with the best Eng lish fireclays, and the prospect Is that the deposit will be of great value. The value of flrecUy, It Is understood, depends largely on the amount of alumina pres lna than In this clay there Is more alum nla than In most other. Following Is the analysis of Mr. Fisk: Moisture, J.30 per cent: silica, 5S.E0 per cent; alumnla, 38.30 per cent; Iron oxide, 2.JS per cent; lime, 1.70 per cent: magnesia, 0.50 per cent; alkalis, 1 per cent; organic matter, 0.75 per cent.

A line of people stinds along the railing on the west in cline of the Burnsldo-street bridge nearly all day long when outside work Is going on, looking at the men and machinery at work transferring sand from barges to tho dock Just below the bridge. A busi ness man who crosses the bridge several times every day on the cars has often wondered what this crowd of people, which Is constantly changing as some walk away and others take their places at the railing, were watching so Intently, constantly and continuously. Yesterday he took time to stop and Join in the crowd. Ho found that they were merely watching the men and the machinery handling sand. As he describes the affair. a derrick stands on tho dock, operated by a donkey engine, and swings a large bucket holding a ton or so out onto a loaded barge where men deftly and swift ly shovel It full of sand. It is then swung back to the dock, the bottom Is unlatched by a man with a pole, and the sand falls la a heap. While this has been going on tne men have filled another bucket. The empty one Is swung back and the full one taken away, and this Is the whole performance. The only remarkable thing about it is the rapidity with which the ouckets are changed and the swiftness with which the men work who fill them. After seeing the show the business man in question came up to The Oregonlm office and wanted to know why people stop to look at it and stand in line to see it. in short what there Is about the affair that attracts so many spectators. Per haps some one knows, but the reason which first suggests Itself Is that It af fords people pleasure to see other people work, especially when they work like beavers. There Is a weak spot In most humins which causes them to stop when they see others looking at anything in an endeavor to, see what they are look' ing at. "Human nature is human na ture" and Is slow to change. No Vegetables on Sidewalks. Officer Caswell, who his In charge the matter of keeping sidewalks free from obstructions, Is getting along swimmingly with the work. All the grocers and market men have kept their displays inside of late. and there has been no HI feeling over the matter. Officer Caswell says he has not hid any trouble or a cross word with anyone, and that the order is very gen erally observed even by Junk and second hand dealers, who used to keep lots of old stoves and other obstructions on the walks. Front-street dealers are a little behind the procession In this matter, but will all be in pi ice soon. FIrst-clasa grocers are all strongly in favor of the change. One of them said yesterday that first-class grocers were not supposed to carry fruits and vegetables In any city in the United States. There should be a market where people could find these com modities. Grocers should keep only or anges and lemons in tho way of fruit. The idea of the best part of one's store tcing occupied by a display of vegetables was ridiculous. The show windows should be ocoupled by the best groverles. It looks is If the day of vegetable dls pliys on the sidewalks Is past, but the city ought to provide a vegetable mar ket at once. Prohibitionists Meet. The Multnomah Prohibition Alliance held its regular monthly meeting at the home of L H. Amos, 53 Hawthorne avenue, last even ing. There was no political significance whatever in the meeting, the purpose of these monthly meetings being to throw the members together In a social way. The programme contested chiefly of Inci dents and articles on the Hfo of Frances E. Willard, read by different members of the alliance. The programme used is one that Oliver W. Stewart, chairman of the National Prohibition Committee, prepared and is used at all the different alliance meetings throughout the state. There are 54 prohibition alliances In Oregon and all hold their meetings at the same time and use the some programme. The Mutnomah Alllanco contains some 70 members, and -nr. jf. jjciterccer Is the president. Barbers to Indorse Man for State Board. Portland barbers are doing some deep thinking Just now In deciding which one of their number they shall recommend for the position on the State Board of Barber Examiners, soon to be vacated by me expiration oi tne term of Samuel Howard. Mr. Howard's term of office will expire March 1, and he does not wish a reappointment. The Barber's Union has nominated three men for the position and at the next meeting will vote upon menu -me candidates are William Wan ner. H. A. Wolf and J. C Wise. Gov ernor Chamberlain will be notified of the indorsement of the union with the re quest that the candidate recommended by appointed upon the Board of Exam iners. He Cannot Keep Monet. City Treas urer Werleln received 331.000 from the Security, S wines & Trust Company for rtreet Improvement bonds on Monday, and yesterday the contractors who had dono the work to pay for which the bonds were Issued had taken nearly every cent of It away from him. "To have and to hold does not apply to the money the City Treisurer gets hold of. as he can not hold It, and docs not have It long. Probably It Is a pleasant sensation to have a stream of money running through one's hands. At least It is a rarity to most people, and what Is rare is generaly sougni aiter. ine sale of bonds men tioned clears up everything in the way of street Improvement complete to date. Chinese Mission Needs Teachers. More teachers are required by the Port- iana cmnese .Mission, for tho rapid in crease in attendance has seriously em barrassed those in charge. The institu tion is under the care of tho Methodist Eplscopil Church, whose cresldltvr Mir. Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. D., has issued an appeal for more teachers. Young wo men irom ounaay scnooois and Epworth Leagues are urged to take up tho work. Citt Board of Charities Meets. The City Board of Charities held Its regular monthly meeting yesterday at the office on Fourth street. The regular monthly report was read and the monthly routine business transacted.

Gade's "Christmas Eve," Han del's "SleMlnh." Mrs. Rose Uloch Bauer, loprsno. Mrs. Walter Reed, contralto. II. W. Ilogue. tenor. Dr. W. A. Cummlnr. bin. Taylor-Street Methodist Church was crowded to the doors last night on the occasion of another oratorio success by the Boyer choir, consisting of 63 voices and an orchestra of 5 pieces. A rare event happened. The chorus. "For Unto Us a Child Is Born." in the "Messiah." was encored and had to be repeated be fore the audience would consent to stop their applause. It Is very seldom that this takes place In sacred oratorios. The chorus singing was much Improved In precision and tone. "Christmas Eve." by Niels Wilhelm Gade OSlT-lfc&C), a Danish composer. Is unique In Its" way. It Is a sacred cantata for contralto, solo, chorus and orchestra. What grievance Gade had against so prano, tenor or bam can only be Imag ined. It Is Interesting to recall thnt crit ics have pointed out the similarity ex isting between Gade and the English com poser Sir William Sterndale Bennett, In that these two composers drank deeply of that inspiration of which Mendelssohn Is the fountain head. Gade, like Bennett was attracted to Lclpstc by the fame and artistic Individuality of the great Ger man composer, and In Gade's case it is worth while to trace the Influence with which Mendelsohn colored Gade's writ ings. His "Christmas' Eve" Is fragmen tary, and the writing is of distinct musi cal value, but not strong. The two solos, "O With Pure Devotion" and "When On ward I Am Gazing." are the best In the work, and arc splendidly milted to Mrs. Walter Reed's style, and she Invested them with dignity and fine religious feel ing. She was In good voice, and it was a pleasure to hear her clear, even notes. Gade's treatment of the score In the last chorus, "Forget O Man, Thy Sorrow," Is curious. The theme Is a vigorous and tri umphant one, yet Gade marks the score piano. The chief musical treat of the evening were selections from Handel's "Mcrelah." Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, soprano, must be given a high place for her impressive ringing nnd .fine, declamation In "Rejoice Greatly" and "I Know That My Redeemer LI vein. Too many sopranos sing thlo latter selection In a mystic fashion, and forget the fine opportunity for Impressive elocution In illustrating a grand motif. Mrs. Bloch Bauer Invested the solos with a grand tone, plenty of volume, yet line finish. She sang also with emphasis, and followed tradition In singing piano at the prophetic finish. H. W. Hogue. tenor, rang the familiar solos, "Comfort Ye" and Every valley." with satisfactory Inter pretation. Dr. Cummlng. bass, sang three rolos. the last being "Why Do the Na tions. He made a good appearance. The tempo was too slow, however, and It re quires a heavier bass to do full Justice to so formidable a solo, requiring fire and suitable emphasis. It was a pleasure to see Dr. Cummlng taking part In this ora torio work. The chorus took the audience by storm in "For Unto Us." 'The time was per fect the fuguca were sung with decision. nnd the finish with organ, orchestra and ! were, of course, expected from the chorus In "Hallelujah." and the expectation was more than realized. It Is pleasing to re cord that when the "Hallelujah" chorus began the audience stood of Its own .ac cord. W. H. Boyer made an efficient con ductor, and Edgar E. Coursen played the accompaniments with his usual skill, both on piano and organ. It was a treat to hear the first violins playing the leads in "Rejoice Greatly." The concert was a very enjoyable one. and the chorus made many more friends by their fine work last night It Is gratifying that Portland has such a choir. "Mary Magdalene," by Jules Massenet Is in preparation. "The Sta.bucl4ll.,, " Baker's Theater is filled with deUghted crowds every night to witness the fine presentation of the drama oT Tennessee life, "The Starbucks," and the play Is one of the real successes of the season. Tho different members of the company have mastered tho Intricacies of the Tennessee dialect in creditable fashion. The play Is not essentially a serious one. There is many a laugh in It as the fun Is rapidly unfolded by Wlfllam H. Dills, as Laz Spencer; Howard Russell, as Mose Blake, and Fred Mower, as Klntchln, a colored man of all work. It Is easy to see that W. H. Dills played his part before, his work is so highly finished and natural. He was the Laz Spencer In the original production of "The Starbucks" in Chicago, and was highly praised by the author, Ople Reed. If ever a country character, with a dry. laughable humor, was ever created, it is Mr. Dills creation at the Baker this week. Cathrlne Countlss has a part eminently suited to her. as Mrs. Mayficld, a charm ing widow. Mlna Gleason. as Mrs. Star buck. Is making a hit and It is conceded that In portraying the character of Jasper Starbuck. the rough, but sterling, Tennes see farmer, George Alison Is at his best and that Is saying a good deal for this able, young actor. COMING ATTRACTIONS. The Kiltie's llnnil From Cnnndn. For some time past a great many bors and girls have been saving their odd nickels and dimes, and people wondered what was the reason. The mystery Is now explained. Tho young folks have been saving up to see the famous Kiltie's band from Canada, which will give Its first concert in this city at the Exposi tion building, at the matinee Friday after noon. There will also be concerts Fri day night and Saturday afternoon and evening. Competent critics who have heard the band at Madison-Square Gar den, New York, say that it Is one of the greatest bands both of America and Can ada, and that they would sooner hear It than any other. It does not matter whether the band plays gems from grand opera, or "an auld Scotch sang," they are at home. With Its bagpipe section there Is no other band like the Kiltie's now on the road. The concerts are cer tain to draw big crowds, and the event win be one of the chief musical events of a busy season. There will be two street parades. Watch for the big drum-major. Louis James and Frederick "VV'nrilp. The legitimate drama will have another call In Portland when those celebrated classic players, Louis James and Fred erick Warde return to the Marauam Grand on Monday and Tuesday nights and xuesaay matinee in "Frances ca da Ri mini." Their tour In a pecuniary way has been a phenomenal success, and from an artistic standpoint It has never been ZELIE DE LUSSAN COMING Portland to Have Another Mnstcsl Treat. The Grent Meaao-Soprono Zelle de Lnaann to Sine Here Soon. Musical events of genuine and enjoyable merit are coming In rapid suc cession tp Portland this Winter, both from home talent nnd from artists abroad. It cannot get too many. Portland audiences are quick to recognizo and approve real talent, and the more they have of it the more they want. Jjone, we predict, will receive more cordial welcome than Zclie de Lussan the famous .soprano, whose very high rank as an artist and record In tho operatic- Held with -Maurice Grau and his distinguished singers. Is too well known to ned more than mention. This, together with her brilliant beauty, per irresistible charm, her fascinating vivacity and magnetism, all combine to foretell a sensational success in her incursion into the field of song recital. - Te Lussan s career has been brilliant and interesting. Not so very long ago she was making Immense hits as a soubrettc. with the Boetonians. But this did not satisfy the ambitious little woman. She wanted greater success, and she felt she was capable of it. So she went to Europe and studied, and to such good purpose that she found little difficulty in securing jti engagement with the exacting Maurice Grau. Her success even among his celebrated artists is familiar to every one. This season finds her win ning fresh laurels on the concert stage. De Lussan, like the great majority of finished artists, prefers the W eber piano, and wherever she appears the Weber, with its clear, sweet, sustaining end sympathetic tone. Is ber accompaniment. This Is only one y?U. W1?t5t triumphs for the Weber. It is being used by the majority of distinguished musicians now before the public, notable among them being tho exclusive use of It by the entire Grau Metropolitan opera company. The Weber Is sold in both upright and grand styles by Elfers Piano House. Washington street, corner Park. Other large stores, San Francisco, Bpokane and Sacramento. equaled. The play is a wonderful dra matic effort nnd is staged in a gorgeous manner. Mr. James will be seen In his original role of Pepe. the Jester. Mr. Warde, as Lanclosto, gives renewed evidence of his greatness. The supporting company, prominent amog whom Is Miss Teresa Maxwell. Mr. Norman Hackctt Mr. Wadsworth Harris, Mr. Thomas Coffin Cooke. Is exceptionally good, and the mounting of the piece Is on a plane never yet attempted. That there will be a crush at tho Mar quam Grand on Monday and Tuesday goes without saying. The gorgeous kaleidoscopic spectacle, "The Tempest" will be the bill on Tues day night "All the Comfort of Home." WlUlam H. Gillette's mirthful comedy, "All the Comforts of Home," will be the attraction at Baker's Theater next week, commencing with the Sunday-matinee. The play has been for many years a favorite of the amusement-loving public, and for no other reason perhaps than that the characters It represents are drawn from life. Of course. Its. situations and climaxes are very often ridiculously over drawn, but they are always within the bounds of reason, and con, therefore, be readily appreciated by any one who can boast of the least bit of Imaginative fac ulty. The story of the adventures of a young man who, after the departure of tho family for a visit left upon his own resources In a large, well-furnlshed house, hits upon the scheme of renting the rooms to lodgers to raise a little money, is in Itself suggestive of unlimited merriment An Interesting household of lodgers Is the result of the young man's plan. The un expected return of the family forms the actloA of the play. The comedy Is clean cut nnd fresh, and every laugh Is pro duced by tho natural complications which arise. "Tlic Unwelcome Mm. ljntch." In "The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch," which is to be presented at the Marquam this nnd tomorrow evenings. Miss Roberts gives to the theater-gcing public of the West one of the strongest of recent New York successes. The play Is from tho pen of Mrs. .Burton Harrison, the well- Imoivn Washington authoress and society lender. It was first produced at the Man hattan Theater, New York, by Mrs. Fiske, nnd ran there the greater part of last sea son. with uninterrupted success. Except ing Mrs. FIskc. Miss Roberts has been the only actress to Interpret the role, which Is a most exacting one. and gives full rcoje. for her wonderful emotional powers. It Is the part of a woman cruelly wronged, a mother love for a daughter she hss net been permitted to sco for yenrs, a pitiful figure with whom one can sympathize without being unfaithful to any true principled. Everywhere that Miss Roberts has presented the rlay this season her nudlencea have been moved to the greatest enthusiasm. A finer bit of cmotlonac acting than that in tho third act, where Marian assists In ar- laymg her daughter In her wedding gown without disclosing her Identity, has' al- tiom been witnessed.
