Florence Roberta In Jlasda. THE BAKER THEATER Tonight at 8:13, The Starbucks." Missed toe Ttphook- P. F. Morey and his son Fred, who sailed from San Fran cisco January 11, for a trip to the Society Islands for tho heneflt of Mr. Moray's health, returned to Portland yesterday. They were 13 days on the tray front San Francisco to Tahiti, one of the most .....t..i.. Via Rndetv Islands. They Duuwi; 1 - spent flvo flays there, and were 12 days on the return. Tho typhoon whlcrTdevRstat cd the Tuaraotu Archipelago, the northern of the Society Islands, occurred nix days before they reached Tahiti, eo they es caped any danger from It, hut the ship labored in a very heavy swell for three days, which made most of the passengers seasick. The weather was delightfully cool and pleasant during the entire trip. The time passed on the Island was spent principally In driving along tho beach and Into the Interior of tho Island, which Is about 35 miles long and contains about 12,000 Inhabitants, principally natives. The horses are very small, and as there Is no grass or hay or oats, they live on cocoa-' nuts, bananas and bread fruit, all of which, as well as other tropical fruits, are plentiful and cheap. The cost of living on the Islands Is not high, especially In regard to clothing, as the men, who arc tali, fine-looking and muscular follows, wear only a singlet nnd loin cloth, and the women a "Mother Hub bard." They are all Indolent and lazy, but cheerful, happy and very hospitable. They have esthetic tastes, las they wear wreaths around their heads and flowers behind their left earn. When a Man Should Br Killed. Five of a party of six friends while taking lunch at their club yesterday were slight ly amused at a dilemma of the other. He Is obliged to wear glasses, and what Is worse, has to carry two pairs, one for seeing things near by, and another for seeing things at a distance. He picked up a paper to glance over while flipping his i.ttflftVM in nr-MfntnlK-' lpt hlq neflT- edcht classes fall on tho carpet. lie pushed his chair back and endeavored to see where they had landed. Not being able to discern them he got down on his knees and commenced feeling around for them. At last he put on bis long-distance glasses and looked all about under the table. Still ho could not discover the miming glasses. The rest of the party paid no attention and presently he began to say things: short and epigrammatic but not exactly "correct." Perspiration began to ooze from his brow and In a moment the glasses, on his nose slid off and fell on top of the ralsalng ones, which had been literally "under his nose" all the time. He recovered both pairs and his seat with as much composure as possible, but aa he drained the last drop of his coffee he re marked that It was his opinion that when a man's eyesight failed him his friends should kill him off. He says he Intends to wear both his glasses on chains In the future. Earthworms Are Scarce. The grounds around a cottage In Hawthorne Park were crowded "Wednesday by scores of robins, which, owing to the ground being frozen, were unable to "draw" their usual ration of earthworms. A bountiful supply of bread crumbs was thrown out to them and every crumb of It was picked up. Yes terday morning another supply of crumbs and eeeds was provided and the birds were, on hand early to fill their little craws. So long as the ground Is not frozen the robins can always find a worm for dinner, but when the ground is hard the worms cannot be got hold of and the robins go hungry unless some kind-hearted persons throw out crumbs for them. There is an old. old song one verse of which is as follows, which It might be well it many knew at this time, which runs thus: "When poor robin redbreast approaches the cot, and the Icicles hang at the door; when the bowl smokes with something re viving and hot, that's the time to remem ber the poor." All who have a crumb to share should remember the robin and the poor, now that the days and nights are frosty and chilly. Artisans at Banquet. The -Supreme Assembly of United Artisans banquetted the subordinate assembly of the same order at Rath & Sandys' Restaurant. 145 First street, the occasion being one of general jollification of a membership con. test between the two branches of the order.

Auditor Devlin. who has been kept at home for a day or two Dy a ratner snarp attack of rheuma tism and who endeavored to persuade Horace Whiting to represent him In this matter, as he represented him at Seattle, was able to be at his office and attend to business yesterday. It is very fortunate for Mr. Devlin that he Is not reoulred to take civil service examination under the new charter, as so many city employes are. Among the first and most prominent questions on tho list of the Examining aoara. is: -.tiave you ever had rheuma' tlsm?" Public Scnooi, Teacher Dead.

The gale of last Sunday night played havoc with the telephone line to the head works on Bull Run, as the wind was very severe In the canyon of that river, and broke off many large limbs and blew down a number of trees, breaking the wire in many places. The pipe line Inspector went out over the line to the headworks a day or two ago and found the line all repaired and in working order. The line Is very Important, as It Is constantly be ing used to regulate the flow of water for supplying the city. He found but little snow in the canyons along Bull Run, but there Is considerable along the hills on both sides. During the month of January there were more freshets and higher ones in Bull Run than were ever known before In the same space of time, owing to the succession of chlnook winds and warm rains, which melted the snows rapidly. These freshets brought down great quan tities of drift, the limbs and tops of trees broken off by winds, and quite a number of whole trees, some three to four feet In diameter and 100 feet in length. Several months ago a large landslide came down into the river near the headworks, but fortunately Just below the Intake of the city water supply. The earth was washed down the river, but several huge boulders as big as street-cars remained, and In these trees and drift accumulated till they threatened to block the stream. The pipe line inspector had the boulders drilled and the trees sawed into pieces, and by tho use of a lot of giant powder scattered the boulders and sent the driftwood down the stream, removing the whole obstruction. Had such a landslide occurred above the Intake, the city water might have been discolored a little for a time. To Start Sturoeon FirfuiKO Again. Since tho Columbia River Is again fairly well stocked with sturgeon, and many of them are getting fairly sizeable, old stur geon fishermen are coming back to live on the river. H. Balhorn. who used to live on the bank of tho river near Copies' Landing about a dozen years ago. where ho made a pot of money catching stur geon, and whose house was washed away by the bis flood. Is said to be coming back to rebuild his house and re-establish his business. He had a very soft snap In the fishing line. He ran out a line nearly a mile long, with hooks attached even' few yards, the further end being anchored fast, and the inshore end attached to a bell at the head of his bed. Every day he would go along In his boat, underrunnlng his line and baiting the hooks as they passed over the boat. He had a place for his boat under his bedroom, and a stair way down to IL When a sturgeon became caught on one of his hooks during the night, the bell by his bed rang, and he Just slipped Into his pants ana gum doois. got down in ms boat, look noio, oi nis fishing line and pulled himself along, hand over hand, till ho found tho stur geon, or sometimes half a dozen and they were bltr ones In those days. Of course. he saw that all the hooks were rebalted. and then rowed back to his bed. Life went very well with him in those days, but when the sturgeon were extermlnat! cd. he went away down tho coast, and has not had any easy fishing since. "Ana that's whv I am cominc back on the Co lumbia," said he to a reporter yesterday. Mast Children at School. The num ber of pupils In attendance nt the public schools of this city "Wednesday, February 11, was 11.503. the largest number ever registered. The number at the corre sponding date last year was H.100, show ing an increase for tho year of 805. Tho maximum attendance will be reached next week, at which time Superintendent Rlcler has been figuring that the iz,w mark will bo reached, and he is now con fident that the number will bo a little be yond 12,000. This is a considerable num ber of children, but one who has occasion go about the city much, and has seen such numbers of boys chasing and pum melling each other on the sidewalks or playing marbles, or practicing baseball on the streets, acting as messenger boys. etc.. can easily imagine that there might be several thousand more in the schools to the advantage of themselves and the public Bbiokt Bot tor Citt Messenger. Mayor "Williams has appointed Birle Ben nett as City .Hall messenger, a new po sition on the force of employes at work In the building. ' Though the salary of the messenger Is only J-5 a month there were nearly 30 applicants for the position, and tho Mayor bad a hard time to choose among them, for he says that all appeared such bright-looking young men and boys that It was difficult to select the best. The place is a good training school for a boy, as he becomes acquainted with prominent men and soon has a knowledge of munic ipal affairs as carried on In the City Hall. Birle Bennett Is a boy about 17 years of age, and it will be his duty to act as messenger for all of the officials in the aty Hall. . Regiment to Go to Church. Colonel Everett, Third Regiment.

This morning at 8:30 o'clock the far famed Kilties Band, of Canada, will ar rive at the Union depot and prepare for their four concerts at the Exposition building, this afternoon and evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening. Their flrst street parade will start from the Union Depot about'noon today, and the route will be: From the depot to Sixth street and up Sixth to Morrison: down Morrison to First; north on First to Ash; up Ash to Third; south on Third to Wash ington: and up Washington to the Expo sition building. The giant drum-major, McCormack. standing seven feet tall and. weighing about SCO pounds, will lead the procession, and It Is understood that he will be accompanied. In full kilted regi mentals, by George J. Cimcron. president of the Caledonian Club. In this parade only the skirling bagpipers and buglers will play. The brats band will only be heard at the concerts. The band will ap pear In' full-kllted Highland regimentals. Every care will be taken to see that the Exposition building 13 made comfortable and pleasant for the big crowds that will surely be present and steam heat will be turned on early this morning and kept on all day and evening, so that the place will be well heated. The band is now on its sixth American tour, has played In more than S00 Ameri can cities, traveled over S0,tt miles, and has played to crowds estimated at 2,000. 00) people. Critics say thit it is one of tho great military bands of this country, and thero are those wHo state that it is ds good as Sousa's and the Bed Band of Italy, if not superior. During the con certs by the Kilties at the Buffalo Expo sition, the Buffalo Review remarked: The Kilties scored as instant hit At least 10,000 people surrounded the bandstand. Sousa. during the most successful period of his en gagement could not nearly boast of that num ber. After the concert given by the Kilties nt Madison Square Garden, New York, over a year ago, a New York newspaper said: The greatest audience that ever greeted a ran- steal organization in the metropolis cheered the Kilties to the echo. The paid admlstlona numbered 8242. and the box office, receipts ran close to $7000. The four concerts in this city will be given under the auspices of the Portland Caledonian Oub, and there will be a complete change of programme at each performance. "Majrda" Tonight. "Magda" will be the offering at the Marquam this evening, and the announce ment that Florence Roberts will appear In the title role of Sudermann's great creation naturally awakens pleasant an ticipatlons. The character of "Magda' Is seldom attempted by visiting actresses. owing to the emotional requirements of the part. That an actress of tho genius and power of Miss Roberts should give the Portland public a gumpse of the play Is a cause for congratulation. Magda, driven from a come mae-bound in conven tionalltles. because she will not marry the man selected by her father, returns after many years, a self-reliant woman, "Who sinned becauso she pleased to, who holds herself accountable to no one, and who In the end cannot rise to the unsel fish height of sacrificing herself In order that her father might spend his re maining days In happiness and honor.' The one bright spot in her home-coming Is her love for ner younger sister. To her the others are people who have to be tolerated. Fine Scento Production. The members of the Baker Stock Com. pany are playing their parts this week In plain clothes. Each member of the company, has a character part and it Is certainly Interesting to see with what ease they handle the lines, speak the dia lect and lose their Identity In general. The story Is from the pen of Opie Read, the noted novelist and is called "The Starbucks." The play Is very Interesting and tho company Is exceptionally good. Special mention should be made of the stage settings. Frank King, the scenic artist for the Baker Theater, deserves great credit for his meritorious painting. The panorama seen in the third act Is truly a work of art The immense stretch of canvas with the mountains and valley In tho distance and the river coursing down the valley witn tne rail fence around the Starbuck farm, the log house in which the Starbuck family Hvc3. forms a stage picture that playgoers will long remember. Snlc for Jnmen nnd Wnrde. The advance sale of seats will begin this morning at 10 o'clock for the return engagement of Louis James and Frederick Warde at the Marquam Grand on Monday night and Tuesday matinee. Messrs. Wagenhals-nnd Kemper have decided to revive "Francesca da Rimini." George H. Bokcr's version. This step was taken on account of the great demand to see Mr. James In his wonderful character crea tion of Pepe, the Jertcr. Mr. Warde will be seen to great advantage as I-ancIotto. and his reading of the noetic lines Is a continual charm. The tragedy of "Francesca da Rimini" is sublime, and this generation cannot hope for a better rendition of the master piece than that offered by Louis James and Frederick Warde. The supporting company will comprise Norman Hackett as Paolo, Wadsworth Harris as Malatesta. MiS3 Aprie James as RItta and the scenic Investiture of the production will bo elaborate and appropri ate. For Tuesday night "The Tempest" will be the offering, due to the requests of many patrons who were unable to see It last October. To I't eut Comedy Sncrcas. Commencing with the usual Sunday matinee. Manager Baker will offer for one week, to the patrons of his popu lar playhouse. William Gillette's ccmcdy success, "All the Comforts of Home." "All the Comforts of Home" is an un usually funny play and one wonders how on earth such things ere ever straightened out The plot hinges on a young man who Is left at homo without any money, while the family goes on a Journey. Ho bits upon the scheme of renting the rooms. He places an advertisement In the dally papers which-results In his rent ing them all. The eccentricities of his roomers and the unexpected return of the family furnishes enough complications to keep the young man busy during the en tire action of the comedy to straighten matters out and well furnishes an even ing of genuine pleasure for the theater going public. "All the Comforts of Home" has never failed to please the most critical, as It Ls a well-constructed comedy, full of bright wit and humor, and It Is predicted that It will do even a greater business than "Charley's Aunt" which had a phenome nal patronage two weeks ago.
