BANcnorr Takes Office March 1. F.
A. Bancroft. Portland's new Postmaster.
Kill assume the duties of his office on
Sunday, March L As he was notified of
his appointment to the position two
months ago, his friends have been wait
ing patiently for him to announce when
he would take charge. He has shown so
little symptom of haste in the matter that
those who knew his official bond in the
sum of $150,000 had been filed and accepted
have been Jokingly accusing him of wish
ing to shirk the responsibility, and one
told him yesterday that it was reported
that he was endeavoring to negotiate
with Mr. Croasman to remain In office.
This caused Mr. Bancroft to announce
that he would assume the duties of Post
master on March L He stated some time
ago that he did not contemplate making
nny radical changes among the employes
In the office. It Is understood that Charles
Burckhardt. Use present Assistant Post
master, will be retained in that position,
nnd although tbo salary is a very good
one, there has been no crowd of applicants
scrambling for the place, as too frequent
ly happens. The only person who has
been mentioned as likely to take the place
Is H. A. Smith, Deputy County Clerk, but
he is so comfortably situated at present
that there is but little prospect of his
resigning even to secure the position of
Assistant Postmaster.
Kill, on- Nineteenth Street. Some
10,090 Tarda, of earth being taken from
various excavations by Contractor C E.
Cook Is being dumped through the
bridge or elevated roadway on Nineteenth
street across the gulch between Alder and
Morrison streets. The earth now In sight
for this fill will be supplemented by more
as soon as possible, and the filling will bo
continued until the surface Is level with
the street grade. In this case the earth
Is being dumped through openings made
directly over a row of bents on each side,
so that the fill piles up on each side of
these rows of bents and maintains them
In an erect position. In many cases
where the earth has been dumped through
the middle of a bridge of this kind, or off
each side, the pressure has been so great
on the bents as to push them to one side,
and thus throw the deck out of shape and
render It impassable. In this case the
more earth is dumped the more stanch
the supports of the bridge become. Some
of the earth being dumped comes from
excavations made for Russell & Blyth,
and is paid for by the city, while a lot
more is being furnished by the City &
Suburban Railway Company. It is to be
hoped that with so many new buildings
to be erected about the city In the near
future many fills of the 'kind mentioned
may be made.
Chaster Helps Sidewalk Imphove
ments. The new charter is found great
ly to facilitate the securing of needed
sidewalk improvements. It Is now no
longer necessary to chase over the whole
country to find the owners of property in
front of which new sidewalks are neces
sary, and then to have to argue the cast
with them and be put off from time to
time indefinitely by promises never in
tended to bo fulfilled. It is now only nec
essary for the City Engineer to have a.
notice posted on property," giving the
owner, agent and occupant of the prop
erty directions to construct immediately a
good and substantial sidewalk along and
adjacent thereto. No less than 47 such
notices were posted on the East Side Mon
day, and before they had been posted an
hour parties were flocking In to secure
permits for the construction of the side
walks ordeVed. The new charter provides
that In case such notices are not promptly
attended to the City Engineer shall pro
ceed to construct the walks and take a
Hen on the property for the cost. Be
tween 40 and B0 such notices were posted
on the West Side yesterday, and more are
to follow, and the prospect is that thanks
to the new law It will be possible to have
the streets of Portland decently side
walked in the future.
Winter Excursion to the Beach.
Eastern people would not be likely to
think of going to the coast for a day's
pleasure In December or February, but
this -is becoming quite the fashion here.
A party which spent' a Sunday at the
beach in December had such an enjoyable
time that the experiment was repeated
last Sunday. The excursionists bad a
most enjoyable time. Arrangements had
been made In advance for accommodations
at the new Grimes Hotel. The railroad
company sent a chair car right through
to the beach with the party, and it was
sent down again on Monday for the re
turn trip. The day was a, beautiful one,
end the party spent It strolling on the
beach, visiting the shell mounds and call
ing on old Mrs. Michell. the last surviving
member of a tribe of Clatsop Indians, who
is 102 years old. Several expressed the
Idea that a life at the beach would enable
any of them to live as long as this. Dur.
Ing the day the party agreed to maice an
excursion together to the summit of
Mount Hood on the Fourth of July next.
The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. E.
H. McCraken, Mrs. Pratt, of Oregon City,
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Bancroft, Mr. and
Mrs. M. B. Wakeman, Mr. and Mrs. R.
3. Holman and Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Mack.
Hens Now Do Their Dutt. The chick
ens of the Willamette Valley, which were
complained of during the cold snap as
derelict in the production of eggs, have
shown that they are all right by rising to
the occasion as soon as the frost disap
peared. They are now literally snowing
the city under with fresh-laid eggs. Only
a little while ago such eggs were scarce
at 40 cents per dozen. Now they are re
tailed at 25 cents. Commission men sell
them by the case at 12 V4 cents per dozen,
and they are so numerous that It Is be
ginning to be hard work to get rid of
big lots at that price, and it will not be
long till good, fresh eggs will be down
to 20 and perhaps even 15 cents per dozen.
The retail venders complain that the
margin on eggs is small, and that they
can make but little by handling them,
but they have to keep them.
Saeii and Door Factories 'Bust. Sash
and door factories are all running full
time, and several of them are either In
creasing their capacity or planning to do
so as soon as possible. There Is no end
of orders pouring in, and the prospects
seem favorable for the demand lasting
indefinitely. Everything looks favorable
for this branch of business, as not only
is the city demand constantly increasing,
hut orders are coming in from all parts
of the country in ever Increasing volume.
More sash and door mills are needed, said
a contraotor yesterday, if the buildings In
sight are to be finished on time.
Chinese Gamblers Forfeit Bail. As a
result of recent raids on Chinese gambling
dens JJ40 was yesterday turned Into the
city treasury. Twenty-four Celestials
were ordered to appear for trial, but did
not show up. They were out on J10 bail
each, and forfeited the amount.

ecutive committee of the Board of Trade
held yesterday afternoon It was decided
to co-operate with the other commercial
bodies of the city in the reception to be
tendered Senator C W. Fulton at the
Commercial Club this evening. The mat
ter of the incorporation of the Board of

ments In this line.

ROBBED BY A FRIEND.
T. U. Foster the Victim of Ills Com.
p.inlon, Fred Doivna.
For stealing $16 from his friend and com
panion, T. H. Foster, Fred Downs was
last night locked up in the City Jail. Fos
ter at first accused a colored woman In
Whltechapel of taking the money, but as
soon as Detective Sam Simmons arrived
on the scene he was convinced that the
colored woman had nothing to do with
the theft. Further investigation showed
that Foster's friend had played him false,
and when searched both the money and
purse were found upon him. The money
had been taken out of the purse, but was
found In Downs' pockets.
"The colored woman was the one who
sent for the police," said Sam Simmons
last night, "and that mode me think that
she did not take the money."
As soon as the officers made an Inves
tigation of the circumstances they sus
pected Downs of the theft.
"Have you a purser he was asked by
the detective.
"Yes," said he. and drew from his
pocket a purse which Foster Immediately
Identified. There was a quarrel as to the
ownership of the purse, and the guilty
man made some statements which sound
ed suspicious.
"How much money have you?" asked
Simmons.
"Five or rix dollars," answered Downs.
"Why is it not in your purse?"
"I have a right to do with my money
as I please," was his prompt response.
At this tho two men were taken to the
police station. Foster made a vigorous
protest. He could not believe that his
friend was guilty of such treachery, and,
granting that he was, did not wish to
prosecute him. The detectives Insisted
that the man must stand trial.
"In what form was your money?" Foster
was asked as he arrived at the station.
"I had a tS bill, and two gold pieces," he
answered: "the rest was in silver."
Upon carefully searching Downs at the
station the missing money was found. In
one pocket was a bill. In the other a gold
piece, while carefully tucked away in the
corner of an envelope was the second gold
piece. A small amount of silver was also
found, completing the amount lost by Fos
ter. Both men protested vigorously, but
one was locked up on the charge of lar
ceny from the person and the other locked
up to assure his appearance as a witness.
They gave their names as Fred Sterling
and Jim Smith, but papers found In their
pockets revealed their real names.

THE POSTMASTER
Shook OS Coffee and Got Well. ,
It's so easy to shake off coffee and coffee-diseases
when well-made Fostum
Cereal Food Coffee Is served In Its place
that It doesn't take long to tell the tale.
The Postmaster of a flourishing town
In Dinwiddle County, Va., writes: "Up
to a short time ago coffee had me a
great sufferer from constipation, nervous
ness and Indigestion. About the middle
of last July I quit coffee and began using
Postum and ever since I have been Im
proving. My troubles have now quite
disappeared.
"I attribute my recovery to Postum and
have Induced several of my friends to
try It. You are at liberty to use this."
Name given by Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.,
Battle CJreek, Mich.
There la a reason. Coffee is a definite
poison to many persons and disease sets
in if the use of even one cup a day Is
continued.
When the poison is withdrawn and a
pure beverage food like Postum- Food
Coffee used the return to health Is natur
al and prompt It the disease Is not too
advanced, and many, very many old
chronic diseases disappear when the coffee
is abandoned and Postum used In its
stead. Many of these old diseases are
hidden nervous disorders, that is coffee
keeps the nerves poisoned and that con
dition creates end holds disease in some
organ of the body. Take away the cause
and give a true, natural nerve rebullder
like Postum and the change is often
miraculous.

No more charming, delightful singer, full
of grace and vivacity, has appeared for
years on the stage of the Marquam Grand
Theater than Mademoiselle Zelle de
Lussan, mczzo-eoprano, who sang thero
last night under the direction of Miss
Lois Steers. Tho pianist was Angelo Fro
nanl. of New York. Tho audience was
quite a brilliant and cultured one, and
many professional musicians and students
were present. Mademoiselle de Lussan
fulfilled every expectation made of her,
and she placed a new and delightful In
terpretation on several of the songs se
lected, more or less familiar to vocal
students. She was heartily applauded,
and she received several encores, but only
responded to two of them. The audi
ence would willingly have listened to her
for hours, had this been possible.
Of the many prima donnas before the
public today few of them have stood the
test of time and hard vocal work so well
as Mademoiselle de Lussan. For years she
has been one of the favorites at the Met
ropolitan Opera-House, New York, against
an army of foreign singers who are also
of world-wide renown, and she makes
more friends every tour she undertakes.
A pair of laughing black eyes, dark hair,
red Hps revealing white teeth, a figure
of medium height, Spanish temperament, a
joyousness like a ray of glistening sun
shine, and an unusually pleasant voice
these arc a few of the nice things that
can be sold about De Lussan. There are
sopranos, of course, who can sing higher
notes than she, and whose exquisite, clear
tones rival the purity of notes played on
a flute. At the same time one can delib
erately pull a rose to pieces, and find
find fault with its construction, leaf by
leaf. But when all Is said and done,
there Is only one De Luraan, the singer.
Her programme was skillfully chosen last
night, and her selections showed her
wondrous versatility.
Of course, many of the songs were sung
in foreign languages, but from a musical
point of view they were enjoyable all
the same because there Is only one lan
guage after all to musicians, the lan
guage of music. In such a sense, mere
words can be dispensed with so long as
the tune Is present. De Lussan made her
greatest Impression last night when she
sang the "Carmen" number, and created
a perfect furore because of her fine vocal
Ism and interpretation. She was called
back to bow her acknowledgment four
times. Her charming grace and purity
of articulation In such gems as Guctory's
"LIU." AHltson's "Since We Parted. 'and
the number from "MIgnon," will not be
forgotten for a long time by vocal stu
dents. The most satisfying number was prob
ably the waltz song, "La Boheme," by
Puccini. Her encores were: "La Paloma,"
by Yradler. and "Come In an' Shut the
Door," by Calcott. It was a pleasure" to
hear such even tones, almost free from
the continual shake that Is so unpleasant
in so many voices. She also gave a bril
liant exhibition In coloratura work. In
one Instance showing that she could ex
cel In this department of vocallsm If she
chose.
Angelo Fronanl proved to be a satis
factory and artistic pianist and accompan
ist. He has a quiet, finished style, and
caught the fancy of the audience, for they
Insisted on encoring all he played. He
originally Intended to play a Chopin Ma
zurka, but he Instead played the selection
known to most English pianists as
"Rustling Leaves." Mr. Fronanl's par
ents were Italian-German, and ho was
born In Tunis. Africa. He received his
musical education at Lelpslc. Miss Steers
is to be congratulated on the success of her
artistic concert. More people came to It
than usually come to symphony orchestra
concerts.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
"The Great Diamond Robbery."
"All about "The Great Diamond Rob
bery" " would be tho cry of tho newsboy.
If such a thing would be the order In
theater advertising. Theater-goers are
filled with delight when seated In the
comfortable chairs at- the Baker Theater
and witnessing the production of this
famous melodrama. Tho stage settings,
tho dramatic effects, tho wonderful por
trayal of characters, all tend to make
this play one long to be remembered.
Those who witnessed Its production for
the past two days are unstinted In their
praise. Tho box office Is deluged with
persons anxious to get seats for "The
Great Diamond Robbery." The Baker
Theater Is being taxed to Its utmost'
capacity every night with lovers of
wholesome dramatic art. Each member
of the Baker Stock Company is being
made more popular by the part he or
she takes in this powerful melodrama.
Many who went to see this play ex
pected to see nothing but murder and
bloodshed: these were agreeably sur
prised when they saw the pathos was
offset by the comedy and that the thrill
ing scenes have a romantic love story In
the background.
"Became Site Loved Him So."
An abundance of laughter is promised
those who will witness the production
of "Because She Loved Him So"' at the
Baker next week. This Is a comedy full
of entirely new and novel situations. It
has only been played onco on the Pacific
Coast. The original Frohman company
presented It several years ago. This is
sufficient proof that It Is a first-class
production. Furthermore, the fact that
it deals with a newly-married couple
who are very much In love with each
other, but whose happiness Is marred
by the young wife's jealousy, shows that
there Is comedy galore. Many will wish
to see this, for perhaps "they have been
there before." and wish to know how this
young couple surmounted the obstacles
in their war. William Gillette, who Is
the author of this production, once stat
ed that he considers this as one of the
best plays he ever wrote.
The Man From Srreden.
Mr. Knute Erickson, who is starring
in "The Man From Sweden," Managers
Broadhurst and Currie's new success, at
Cordrays this week, relates an amusing
conversation between two Swedish
friends of his which be overheard In a
little town in North Dakota.
Karlson approached Hanson and urged
htm to take a chance on a witch which
he was about to raffle.
"No, sir." said Hanson: "I not take
him, for I not can use him, and I not
know what I du vld him eef I vln htm."
"Oh, never mind," came the reply In
a reassuring voice: "take a chance any
how. You may not vin him."
Daniel Sully Tonight.
Tonight at the Marquam Grind Thea
ter ons of the greatest favorites on the
American stage, Mr. Daniel Sully, and
his excellent company will begin an en
gagement of two nights, presenting his
latest and best success. "The Old Mill
Stream.'- In presenting "The Old Mill
Stream" for public favor, Daniel Bully
wishes to announce thit It is by far
the greatest play he has ever offered.
It is replete with deft touches of humor
and pathos, combined with a story of
absorbing heart-Interest. Tho comedy
Is sparkling. Its dialogue crisp and situ
ations amusing as well as dramatic Mr.
Sully, as John Ryin, the miller, has
found a role worthy of his abilities as
on actor. There Is truth without offense
or exaggeration, a veritable touch of
naturo "which maxes the whole world
kin."
Sale for Anna Held.
This morning at 10 o'clock the advance
sale of seats will begin for Anni Held
In "The Little Duchess." who comes to
the Marquam Grand Theater next Fri
day and Saturday nights. February 27
and 2S, with a matinee Saturday. The
opera Is the joint work of those old
time collaborators, Messrs. Reginald de
Koven and Harry B. Smith, and was ex
pressly constructed for the purpose of
affording the public a lot of fun. Pretty
music, amusing episodes and lively
dances are believed to accomplish this
better than an ambitious story. Miss
Held Is said to have made a greater hit
In this piece than In anything she has
yet been seen. As a beauty show, and In
point of gorgeousness of costume, "The
Little Duchess" is declared to be notably
brilliant. Not more than ten seats will
be sold to one person for any single per
formance. Scats must bo taken at the
window.
Snm Morris netnrnn.
The author of "The Peddler's Claim."
the play that the popular comedian. Mr.
Sam Morris, will be seen in at Cordray's
four nights next week, beginning with a
matinee Sunday. March 1. was not sat
isfied with having poor Moses Levi, the
hero of this attraction, simply accused
with robbery and murder, but after many
trials, in which of course our hero is
acquitted, he caps the climax by having
a real live bear try and make a dinner
of Moses. It goes without saylns that
Moses objects to being served to his
honor. Mr. Bear, so he takes to his heels,
and the beir, not willing to lose his
lunch, takes after him; and if you won't
laugh until you cry at the chase that
follows. It will not be any fault of Mr.
Morris and the bear.

William A. Brady's great success,
"Lovers' Lane," will bo the attraction
at the Marquam Grand Theater next

HONESTY
Of course, where you feel a man

own ground. Make him be hon

don't let him make you dishonest
with him.
When you make a mistake,
don't make the second one, keep
ing it to yourself. Own up. The
time to sort out rotten eggs is at
the nest. The deeper you hide
them in the case the longer they
stay in circulation, and the worse
impression they make when they
finally come to the breakfast ta
ble. A mistake sprouts a lie

Of course, it's easy to have the
confidence of the house, or the

you've got to have both.. The
house pays you your salary, and
the buyer helps you earn it. If
you skin the buyer you will lose
your trade; and if you play tag
with the house you will lose your
job. You've simply got to walk
the fence straight, for if you step
to either side you'll find a good
deal of air under you.

DAjmnUFP CAUSED BY A GERM.
A Sew Dlacoverr That Kill, the
Germ and Prerent Dnldncn.
Pretty nearly all the hair preparations
for dandruff have some merit In allaying
Itching of tbe scalp, and In being a fairly
good dressing for the hair, but there Is
only one that recognizes what causes
dandruff, falling hair and baldness, and
that destroys the cause, a little germ
and that Is Newbro's Herpldde. This
germ eats Its tray Into the scalp, down
to the hair root, where It saps that vital,
lty, causing dandruff as It digs up the
scalp Into little white scales. Unless It la
destroyed there's no permanent stopping
of falling hair and cure of dandruff and
baldness. Kewbro's Herpldde kills the
germ. "Destroy the cause, you remove
the effect." For sale by all druggists..
