Defective Sidewalks Repaired.
Complaints of defective concrete slde--walks
are numerous these days and all
about town patches are seen marked by
Inspectors with .blue chalk, showing
where they are to be reconstructed. This
Is scarcely to be wondered at when the
extensive scale on which the city has
carried onjsuch improvements offhand
Is consIdEjM There are now soma 26
persons am firms engaged In the busi
ness of constructing concrete sidewalks
and some 15 inspectors employed In look
ing over the work. Some of the con
tractors do not thoroughly understand
the business and some of the inspectors
relax their vigilance occasionally. Tho
result Is that every once In a while a
Eldowalk is found where the cement sur
face is breaking away from the concrete
foundation. This is caused by careless
work, the concrete having been allowed
to begin to "set" before the surface or
finishing coat of cement was applied,
which then did not bind or unite properly
with the concrete. The fault often is
not perceptible until some time after the
walk Is completed, and then it is detected
by the hollow sound given forth when
people walk over the defective parts.
Now several inspectors are going about
examining the concrete walks by tapping
on them with an iron-shod cane and .all
defective places are marked, so the con
tractor will have to repair them. This
is a serious matter in many cases, as the
concrete foundation has to be broken up
and laid anew and the cement surface
put on while it is still fresh, so that a
firm bind will be established. The ap
pearance of sidewalks is much improved
by the addition of a little coloring in the
facing, and concrete may be rendered
practically waterproof by using a little
alum and suds of potash soap.
Trees Take on Their Autumn Hues.
Although no frosts visit this genial
clime so early In the season to change
the colors of the foliage, the advent of
Autumn is marked by the scarlet leaves
of the woodbine, the wild currant, Ore
gon grape and a species of swamp maple.
Along the streets some of the elms are
quite yellow, and many others on the
hillsides are beginning to turn, and the
locusts are showering down yellow
leaves. The clusters of seeds in the
maples, most of which are heavily loaded
with them, are growing russet colored
and will soon be fluttering down, keeping
householders busy in, sweeping off side
walks and the street-cleaners in loading
wagons with them and hauling them
away. Fruit trees about the city are in
many places bending under loads of ap
ples, pears, prunes, etc., and here and
there the limbs of walnut and chestnut
trees are fairly breaking under their
loads. The Roman or mountain ask is
filled with clusters of ripe, red berries,
showing that the season has been a
fruitful one. In a short time frosts and
rains will have changed the appearance
of tho verdure, and when October in her
scarlet and her orange liveries clad has
passed and brown November come In, the
winds will be loaded with falling, flutter
ing leaves and boughs will be stripped
bare and Winter begun.
"Work for Errant Bots and Girls.
In the week ending Sunday, September
27, 14 children were admitted into the Re
ceiving Home of the Boys' and Girls' Aid
Society and nine placed out in homes,
leaving at the institution 32. Of those
admitted four were boys who had run
away from their homes, two from Poca
tello, Idaho; one from New York and
one from Pueblo, Colo. The parents of
these boys have been communicated with
and two will be returned to their homes
in a few days. Tom O'Connor, aged 15,
one of the boys admitted, was committed
by the Municipal Court, having with an
other boy known as "Dutch" stolen
whisky from a house and become under
the influence and been picked up by the
police. Manager Cordray invited the
children to attend the matinee of the
"Gold Mine" at his theater Saturday
afternoon, and during the performance
Cordray presented each youngster with
a bag of candy. They thoroughly en
joyed the outing and are thankful to
their friend for his generosity. Manager
Swlgert, of the City & Suburban Railway
Company, kindly furnished the children
with free transportation.
A Lawter Who Believes in Chance.
A lawyer who was waiting around the
Courthouse Saturday for the jury in a
case in which he was one of tho counsel
to bring In their verdict, said he felt a
little nervous. When asked why, ho
said: "In every case tried before a jury
since the present term opened on the 14th,
and there have been one or two every
day, the jury has returned a verdict for
the defendant. I am counsel for defend
antln the case now being considered by
the "jury, and I am afraid the time for the
turn of the tide has. arrived. Last term
the tide ran the other way and the ver
dicts were all in favor of the plaintiffs.
All this goes to show the truthfulness of:
'There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune. It has also been said: 'There
is a tide in the affairs of women which,
taken at the flood, leads God knows
where,' which is the reason that tho di
vorce cases tried have not all gone one
way like the jury cases."
St. Bernard Attacks Stuffed Tiger.
A tremendous uproar on the ground
floor of the City Hall Saturday attracted
the attention of all In the building. From
the noise It was at first imagined that the
stuffed tiger and bear in the museum
had come to life and were fighting. It
was found that a large St Bernard dog
had made his way into the hall, where
dogs are not allowed, and had espied the
Bengal tiger, which grins and glares sav
agely at all beholders from a cage under
the stairway. The iron bars placed In
front of the efilgy and its menacing atti
tude with fangs displayed and apparently
ready to spring have deceived many vis
itors, and appear to have deceived the
dog also, as he bristled up and sought to
find a way of getting at the tiger, mak
ing an uproar that fairly raised the sky
lights. The janitors took the part of the
tiger and hustled the dog out of the
building In short order, giving him some
thing to howl about outside.
Fires Set on Asphalt Pavements.
sJIembers of the street cleaning depart
ment complain that some persons build
fires on asphalt pavements to destroy
rubbish, and when remonstrated with
say that they had no idea that the fire
would Injure the pavement. It seems Im
possible that anyone should be so Itr-
norant as this implies, and those guilty
of such doings should be promptly ar
rested and punished and not allowed to
screen themselves behind their dense lg-

expense tho asphalt pavements about
town are being got in perfect repair, and
it Is to be hoped that no more will be
heard of anyone' burning chips, sawdust
I or other rubbish on any of them.

Rowino Club Cups Disappear. Secre
tary S. M. Luders, of the Portland Row
ing Club, has worn a look of worriment
lately. The directors of the club in
structed him to have a suitable case made
to contain the cups and trophies which
have been won by the club, and to havo
them stored therein. Itwas an easy mat
ter to provide the case, but when it
came to g'etting the cups into it the mat
ter assumed a different aspect as they
wero not to be fund. The club has won
a considerable number of cups and ban
ners in the 25 years it has been in exist
ence, and of all these butfew could be
found. Secretary Luders has followed up
everj clew he could obtain, but all have
ended in failure. The cups have disap
peared as completely as if they had been
dropped into tho Willamette. Should this
paragraph be read by anyone having
knowledge of the whereabouts of the lost
articles or any of them, he will confer
a favor and bring relief to tho mind of
Secretary Luders by imparting to him tho
information he is so anxious to obtain.
Wht Flooring Is Costly. Builders
complain of the price of flooring lumber,
for which they now have to pay $31 per
thousand, and which they say they used
to get for 518 years ago. A millman,
when applied to for Information on this
subject, said that the high price of floor
ing was caused by the scarcity of logs
suitable for making it The best quality
of clear, vertical-grained flooring costs
$31 per thousand, but there is a second
grade at $25 and a third at $15 a thousand
feet It takes an extra good raft of logs
to turn out 25 per cent of No. 1 flooring,
and the very best raft to be' procured will
not yield more than 33 per cent It Is
only the choice parts of the best Iocs
that can be made into No. 1 flooring,. and
It has to be dressed, grooved and tongued
and is the best flooring obtainable. All
kinds of lumber are dearer, and from the
way In which timber land is being gob
bled up and lumber exported there, is
little prospect of lumber ever being so
cheap again.
Mat Burn Coal This Winter. House-'
holders are preparing for Winter by pro
viding themselves with new heating and
cooking stoves and laying in a stock of
fuel. Stovo dealers are kept busy and
say that there is a general tendency to
buy combination stoves that Is, such as
will burn either wood or coal. Wood has
become unreasonably high and many are
looking forward to the market being
supplied with coal at a more reasonable
price.

WEAVING THE EVIDENCE
Police Seek Complete Proof That
Leslie and Griggs Axe Murderers.
The detectives are gathering additional
evidence with which to confront E. C.
Leslie and Leo Griggs, the men suspected
of the murder of Max Calof. Both are
now behind the bars of the City Jail,
but have not yet been put through the
sweatbox examination. Nathan Calof, tho
witness of his aged father's murder, will
be sent for today to identify the two sus
pects. If he can do this, the police be
lieve they have a sure case against Leslie
and Griggs.
Detective Kerrigan arrived early yes
terday morning with Griggs in tow. The
suspect had been arrested at Wasco on
the description sent out by the Portland
police, and was in Jail when Kerrigan ar
rived to identify him. Young Calof has
not seen the men since they were brought
In, but his Identification Is necessary to
the case.
Leslie Is confined upstairs In tho City
Jail, while the new arrival paces up and
down in a cell on the lower floor. Leslie
was arrested Thursday by Snow and
Kerrigan.
Though tho detectives have not closeiy
questioned the suspects, nor will they
allow others Ho do so, It Is learned that
both men have confessed that they left
Portland on tho same train for the East
on the night of the Calof shooting. Les
lie got off at Troutdale, while Griggs went
on further, and by a most circuitous
route reached Wasco and went to work in
a restaurant
YOUNG TOUGHS ON A SPREE

The boys arc Charley Ingram and Peter

boys have a record which any young
tough might be proud of, as these doubt
less are. They have been before the bar
of Justice for petty stealing, for window
breaking and for a host of minor offenses.

Lillian Kemble performed a feat twice
yesterday at Baker's Theater in the mag
nificent production of "A Royal Family,"
for -she climbed a tree In full view of the
audience without making a misstep, and
thereby triumphantly refuted the popular
notion that handsome young women can't
climb trees, but prefer to look on.
Charles Wyngate, the leading man, of
course climbed the tree, but he is a young
man and his climbing feat doesn't count
"A Royal Family" Is by far the most
elaborate production presented here for a
long time, at popular prices. The cast
Is so large, 24 people being on the stage
at one time, the staging is so expensive
as well as the costumes, that one wonders
how the management can afford such an
artistic treat at the prices they charge.
"A Royal Family" was made famous In
.the East by Annie Russell, but It has
never previously been presented in this
city until given yesterday by the Nelll
Morosco Company. It caught the fancy
of the audience by "reason of the first
class acting and glittering beauty of
four acts filled with the etiquette of a
court, stately ceremonial, Intrigue, lovo
making, pleasant comedy. Somebody has
said that "A Royal Family" Is a clever
satire on royalty and the remark is a
true one. At the same time, the play has
a "Prisoner of Zenda" flavor, without
the unhappy ending that made the Zenda
story tearful. Lillian Kemble, as Princess
Angelica, daughter of King Louis VII of
Arcacla, dominates the play from begin
ning to end by reason of her alluring,
charming personality, her cleverness of
repartee and natural character acting.
She has not done finer work In Portland
this season, and her part overshadows
all others on the stage. The dramatist
has unconsciously cast the lines of Prince
Victor Constance, Crown Prince of Kur
land (Charles Wyngate) In softer and
quieter vein, but Mr. Wyngate makes tho
most of them, and he presents a fine,
warlike picture. It would take a good
deal to excel his splendid work when he
advances, clad in glittering uniform, to
claim his bride, in the court scene. Phosa
McAllister gave a dignified, amusing por
traiture of the Dowager Queen, and her
make up, along with her serious deport
ment, made the theater ring with laugh
ter. Thomas Oberie, as the King, was
ably assisted by his son, Jack, 7 years
old.
The story of the play: The King of
Arcacia wishes to marry his daughter,
the Princess Angelica, to Prince Victor
Constance, of Kurland. In order to avoid
war between the two countries. Woman
like, the Princess refuses to marry a man
she has not seen. The King's adviser,
Cardinal Casana (Frank MacVlcara) clev
erly 'brings the Prince, disguised, to Ar
cacia, with the result that he and Prin
cess Angelica fall In love with each other,,
without the maiden being aware of tho
high rank of her lover. Tho two do most
of their lovemaklng up a tree. But the end
Is the best picture of all and reflects
great credit on Stage Manager Duflleld.
It Is a great court scene, and the Princess
Angelica Is slowly led forward from her
pretty ladies in waiting to meet the
Prince she Is to marry. She is sad as she
gives him her hand. Suddenly her face
lights up as her wondering eyes recognize
in the Prince the lowly Count who had
won her heart The curtain Is then softly
rung down. "A Royal Family" Is the
great positive triumph of the season so
far at Baker's. It will be the attraction
there this week.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Kent in "The Cowboy and the Lady."
S. Miller Kent whose performance of
Teddy North In "The Cowboy and the
Lady" crowned him with such success
for tho past two seasons, will present his
new comedy drama entitled "Captain
Bob" at the Marquam Grand Theater
tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
"Captain Bob" was written by E. E.
Rose, who dramatized "Janice Meredith,"
"Alice of Old Vlncennes" and "The Pride
of Jcnnlco," and who is at present writ
ing a new play for William H. Crane.
The story of the piece tarries the specta
tor from the land of bandits and out
laws of Mexico, and the even freer life
of South America, into the canyon-broken
wilds of Colorado, and Is full of stirring
incidents from the rise of the curtain to
its fall. The Mexican and South Ameri
can scenes are beautifully realistic, and
afford great opportulty for spectacular
display, which Manager Roth has thor
oughly taken advantage of. There are all
the accessories of romance and comedy In
the play to make It attractive, incidents
of life on a lonely island off the South
American Coast, and a tragic rlvaliy be
tween two suitors for the hand of the
beautiful Princess Helene, which, by the
way, culminates in a blood-stirring duel
between them. The great multitude of
playgoers, who have witnessed Mr. Kent's
performances in the past will be simply
delighted with "Captain Bob."
Change of Bill at Empire Tonight.
Once more the Empire Theater changes
its bill and beginning with tonight will

A good, wholesome old-fashioned play
with a strong heart-Interest Belasco. &
De Mllle's "The Wife," was twice pre
sented to largo audiences yesterflay at
Cordray's Theater by the Mordant
Humphrey Company,- and was well re
ceived. There were several curtain calls,
In appreciation of the excellent acting.
"The Wife" was one of the successes of
the Frohman Company, and since then it
has been a favorite play with a good
many stock companies. Still it is always
welcome, and is Just the play for a fam
ily party.
In these days of problem plays, were
"The Wife" one of them, the portraitures
of Helen Truman (Ola Humphrey) and
Lucille Terrant (Jane Templeton) would
undoubtedly encircle two married women
each with a darkened past Robert Gray
(Owen Evyrsole) Is nursed through a seri
ous illness by Lucille Terrant (Jane Tem
pleton) and when he recovers he thinks
he loves her, while she is desperately in
love with him. But once away from Lu-5
cllle, Gray comes to his senses and meets
his fate in the person of Helen Truman
(Ola Humphrey) and the two are engaged
to be married. At this time. Gray is run
ning for the position of District Attor
ney against Matthew Culver (F. B. Fan
ning) and the latter and Lucilje delib
erately conspire to ruin Helen's and
Gray's happiness. Lucille behaves In a
contemptible fashion by hinting to Helen
that she was wronged by Gray and is the
latter's betrothed. Like a woman of
spirit, Helen .faces Gray, accuses him of
his perfidy and the two part, just as
United States Senator Rutherford (Edwin
Mordant) comes Into "her life. Without
mentioning her previous love episode with
Gray, Helen allows herself to be per
suaded Into a marriage with Rutherford.
Here Is where Miss Humphrey's fine
acting came Into play. In her portraiture
of her married life,, she does not act like
the usual woman in a problem play. She
does not attempt to kill him or break
his heart out of spite because she finds
she has married the wrong man. Although
she admits in the scenes that follow that
she still cares for Gray, she Is loyal to
her husband as he Is tO'her. The efforts
of Lucille and Culver to ruin the lives
of the Rutherfords are as futilo as the
efforts of the waves to break the rocks
along the shore. Rutherford takes an
honest, manly view of his marriage vows,
aided by his sensible wife, and they defy
their enemies and the curtain Is rung
down on a pretty picture of domestic hap
piness. Ola Humphrey Is entitled to con
siderable praise for her artistic work, and
Mr. Mordant is as pleasing as ever. Jane
Templeton ought to be more forceful. It
would be an Improvement if several of the
junior members of the company would
speak more distinctly.
"The Wife" is billed for the week, with
the possibility that 4Camllle" may bo
played about Friday evening.
END OF PROSPEROUS YEAR
Sfennyside Methodist Chnrcli Re
ceives Favorable Reports.
Yesterday morning's services at Sunny
side Methodist Episcopal Church wero the
closing of the year's work and instead
of the usual sermon by the pastor. Rev.
W. H. Selleck, the time was occupied
by the baptism of three adult probation
ers, followed by the reception of a class
of 19, whose term of probation had ex
pired; also the reception by letter of five
others. While the probationers still
surrounded the altar rail -rhe congrega
tion was requested to come forward and
extend the hand of fellowship to the new
members. Several whose term of proba
tion had expired were unable to attend.
Thist was followed by written reports
from all the departments of the church
work, all of which showed a prosperous
state of affairs. The financial report of
the recording steward showed the collec
tions of the year to have been nearly
$3000, leaving a deficit of $120, which was
raised in five minutes by J. P. Newell,
recording steward.
Mr. Selleck goes this week to the an
nual conference at Salem, where it will
be decided by the bishop and cabinet
whether he Is to be returned for another
year or be sent, as It has been an
nounced, to another point It is the de
sire of tho congregation and quarterly
conference without a dissenting voice,
seconded by the wish of Mr. Selleck him
self and Dr. Rockwell, the presiding
elder, that no change be made.
The past year has been the most pros
perous that the church at Sunnyside has
ever known, a,nd the Indications are that
with Mr. Selleck as pastor the coming
year will be more successful than the
year just closing.
The reports showed that the church

SEEK FOR A NEW CLEW.
Police and Sheriff's Forces Baffled
by Train. Robbers.
It will require an entirely new clew to
lead to the detection of the men who held
up the O. R. & N. Co.'s train Tuesday
night All the possible clews which de
veloped at the- time have now been ex
hausted, and Sheriff Storey and the rest
of the posse which went on the man hunt
have returned to tho city.
Much depends upon the vigilance of the
local police. It is generally considered
certain that sooner or later the robbers
will enter Portland, and If they can be de
tected it will be a gay feather in the cap
of the police department All the dives
and joints where criminals are wont to
foregather are being closely watched by
tho police, and all trains and roads aro
scrutinized as well.
Unless the robbers are picked up In this
city, It looks as though it will take some
unforeseen circumstance to bring to light
the Identity of the train robbers. Mean
while there is a constant rivalry between
the police and the Sheriff's .office for tho
detection and capture of the robbers.

Flat Iron
It Is always hot, always
ready, clean and bright. No
matter where you want to
use it, whether In kitchen,
sewing room or laundry, it
is but a small matter to con
nect it to the electric light
circuit. It is quickly heated
and remains heated as long
as the current is on. Espe
cially in the sewing room,
where a hot iron is often
needed, will this be appre
ciated from the fact that it
requires no fire and no run
ning to and from the kitchen.

HAIR NATURALLY AUUNDANT.
When It I Free of Dandruff, It
Growft Luxuriantly.
Hair preparations and dandruff cures, as
a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs that
do no earthly good. Hair, when not dis
eased, grows naturally luxuriantly. Dan
druff is the cause of nine-tenths of all hair
trouble, and dandruff Is caused by a germ.
The only way to cure dandruff is to kill
the germ; and. so far, the only hair prep
aration that will positively destroy the
germ Is Newbro's Herpiclde absolutely
harmless, free from grease, sediment, dye
matter or dangerous drugs. It allays Itch
ing Instantly; makes hair glossy and soft
as silk. "Destroy the cause, you remove,
the effect." Sold Toy leading druggists.
