Two young women, who went to tho
fire on the East Side Saturday night,
caused a great commotion In their boarding-house,
-which is but a block away
from the Burkhard building on Bast
Burnside street. It was well after mid
night when they reached their apartments.
One remarked:
"I feel very queer"about my side. I am
Hfraid I'm jroing to havo appendicitis."
"Oh, no. jl guess it is not so bad as
that, I hope," remarked her companion.
"Yes, but it is hurt right here." said
the afflicted one, pointing to her side Just
below her waist. She then proceeded to
disrobe slowly and carefully bo as not to
'cause any irritation, while her sympa
thetic companion stood by with some
ointment. Then came the development
and the sensation and commotion, which
caused other lodgers in the house to
quake with fright.
Just as the young woman got her dress
off out Jumped a big rat which had snug
gled himself well in the folds of her gar
ments. The rat was not at all to blame.
te had made a run for it to escapo the
lire, and, as any port is good in a storm,
bad gone Inside her dress. But as Mr.
Rat Jumped out his appearance was any
thing but assuring to the two unpro
tected females. They Jumped on the bed
first and then on the table, while tho rat,
as badly scared as they were, waB scoot
ing about tho room trying to find a way
out, but there was none, finally, when
the situation was getting desperate, the
companion of the young woman, who
thought she had appendicitis and not a
rat,managed to kill the rat with her shoe.
It was a big rat, and enough to cause a
commotion when shut up in a room with
two young women. However, the young
woman who had unconsciously sheltered It
said that she would about as soon havo
had the appendicitis.

;ainst Mrs. Sophia Hall, tried yesterday
renoon before a Jury in Justice Waide-
mar Seton's Court. "Welter "Wolf secured a
verdict of $50. Mrs. Hall is the wife of
Thomas Hall, who was recently arrested
in the Municipal 'Court on a charge of
threatening to kill his wife, and it came
out that Hall was intimate with Mrs. Pow
ell, who occupied his house on Grand ave
nue. In the case in the Municipal Court,
"Walter Wolf was Hall's attorney, and his
claim for $100 atorney fees from Mrs.
Hall was based on the assumption that ho
induced Kail to deed to Mrs. Hall property
valued at $3000, situated on First and Hall
streets. In the trial yesterday, Mr. "Wolf
found the whole family had formed a
combination, notwithstanding tho family
row they had been in, to defeat the col
lection of his fee.
Mr. Wolf was the only witness who tes
tlned In his behalf. He detailed how he
bad Induced Thomas Hall to deed the
property to Mrs. Hall. Mrs. Hall and her
ton Edward had come to his office a.nd
employed him to do so. It was then
agreed that his fee should be $100. Wolf
told Mrs; Hall and her son that he would
not touch the case for -anything less,
the deed was signed by Hall and delivered
to his wife. Wolf communicated with Ed
ward Hall over the., telephone about his
fee, when the latter said he thought the
fee of $100 was too much. Wolf agreed to i
2
cept $75 to get settlement Wolf then
ailed, np Mrs. Hall and, asked for his fee, I
but she refused to pay, -and said she owed
him nothing. Two attorneys testified that
$100 was a reasonable fee for the services
Wolf had rendered, provided his story was
a correct version of the case.
For the defense Mrs. Hall, Thomas Hall
and her sOn Edward testified, and denied
point blank practically every statement
Mr. Wolf had made on the witness stand.
Mrs. Hall declared that she had never
employed Wolf for' any purpose, and the
transfer of the $3000 worth of property
had been talked over and settled between
her husband and herself for six months,
and Wolf had nothing whatever to do with
it. Mrs. Hall said that she never received
the telephone message from Wolf on the
subject of the fee claimed. Edward Hall
corroborated this evidence. Thomas Hall
testified that he gave the deed of the
property in question to his wife without
any assistance on the part of Wolf except
that Wolf drew up the deed. He said that
he paid Wolf $100 for defending him n the
Municipal Court, and $17 for services in a
civil action in Justice Seton's court. Some
pointed questions were asked Hall aa to
his affair with the Powell woman, and he
caused a laugh in the court by the re
mark. "I am not done with her yet." He
said that he was living with his wife.
There were three witnesses against Mr.
Wolf, but Justice Seton Instructed tbe
jury that it was the Judge as to who had
told the truth, no matter how many wit
nesses there might be on one side.. He in
structed the jury not to consider the ques
tion whether Hall had employed Wolf.

The Portland Board of Trade is con
sidering tho matter of becoming a mem
ber, of the National Board of Trade with
headquarters at Washington, D. C As
to whether or not the local organization
will Join the larger one, will probably be
decided at the next meeting of the body.
Letters were received by tho Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce
some time ago, inviting both bodies to
become members of the National organ
ization. In both instances the members of
the local commercial bodies received the
Invitation with favor and instructed the
respective secretaries to write for copies
of the constitution and by-laws of the Na
tional body. These have been received
ttnd have met with favorable consideration
at the hands of the Board of Trade.
Sbe National Board of Trade was or

Dr. Greth is very confident of the success of his airship, though personally he Is a modest sort of Inventor. Ho Is not a typical airship crank, for. ho refrained from

TALK POLITICS TO MR. CLEVELAND
Ghicagoans Fill Ex-President Full of Third-Term Idea He Discreetly Talks Art
Chicago Tribune, October 1G.
"Mr. Cleveland, I'm hoping to live long
enough to see you President a third
time."
"O, 3Ir. Cleveland, wont you pleaso run
again? My husband says"
"Say, Mr. Cleveland, my pop says three
times an' out's all right but you'vo got
to be three times in first"
They hailed him with it, sped him with
It whispered it and flung it in fact,
did everything but sing it to him at the
Art Institute yesterday afternoon, where
2000 Chlcagoans shook the hand of the
ex-President And thereupon Mr. Clove
land broke his rule and consented to talk
politics to the public He told each and
every enthusiast over the Presidential
proposition that Is was "so kind," that
it was gratifying "to hear such an ex
pression of confidence," but that really,
and this with a deprecatory wave of tho
hand, ho was "quite content to remain a
private citizen."
After a morning of personal calls, a
luncheon given for him at tho Chicago
Club by James H. Eckels, and the public
reception at tho Art, Institute, Mr. Cleve
land left tho city at 6 P. M. for Prince
ton. To Mr. Eckels and Martin A. Ryer
son, who accompanied him to the Union
Station, the distinguished visitor summed
up the impressions of his two days in
Chicago in these words:
"If any city on this earth has a bet
ter lot of fellows than Chicago I would
like -to see it produce them."
The Art Instltuto was crowded all the
afternoon with the people who came to
shake hands with tho ex-President and
who lingered to catch another glimpse of
him as he passed out The reception was
held in the Field memorial room on the
second floor. Mr. Cleveland was accom
panied by President Charles L. Hutch
inson, of the Art Institute, and by Mr.
Eckels. Other members of the receiving
party were Martin A. Ryerson. Arthur
Caton, John R. Walsh, John P. Hopkins,
William J. Onahon, R. A. Keyes, Dr.
J. B. Murphy. A. A. Sprague, E. A.
Bancroft A. C. Bartlett A. J. Earllng
and David R. Forgan.
"My name's Grover Cleveland Jack
son," piped an eerie voice from some
where in the lino of citizens pressing
toward the ex-President Mr. Cleveland,
who had been shaking hands for Ave min
utes with the old Presidential handshake
scarcely the worse for seven years of dis
use, stopped in momentary mystification
and then, peering down, caught sight of
an urchin.
"Well, well, my little man, if that's
your name I'm proud to know it" re
plied Mr. Cleveland with a pat on tho
youngster's head. Once outside tho boy
related his experience to the crowd at
large and connided the further informa
tion that he was the son of Policeman
William Jackson, who lives at 423 Dayton
street
The bombardment of the third-term en
thusiasts began with the first comers and
ended only with several prominent mem
bers of the receiving committee, who had
to whisper a confidential word or two in
tho ear of tho "Sage of Princeton" before

they stepped Into their carriages. Old
men begged him in faltering accents to
run again, young men sought the honor
of casting their first vote for him. wo
men declared their husbands would mark
the ballot for him as they would Hko to
mark It and girls confided tho wish to
him diffidently as tho prettiest sweet noth
ing they could murmur In the interval of
the ex-Presldentlal handshake.

Some blurted it out to him before they
grasped his hand, some pressed close and
whispered the prophecy In his ear, somo
started to say it, then blushed and fal
tered and broke off, some turned back
before relinquishing the ex-Presldentlal
palm and incorporated their best wishes
of success in a hasty farewell.
Mr. Cleveland met a few old friends in
tho line. Suddenly ho found himself shak
ing hands with Don M. Dickinson, Postmaster-General
in his first term. They
chatted a moment and were Joined by
General W. C. Newberry, who was post
master of Chicago a part of the second
Cleveland term.
Then Fernando Jones was espied in the
lino and promptly seized and borne for
ward by Arthur Caton and Mr. Hutchin
son. "I am living now for the purpose of
seeing you elected again," announced tho
Chicago pioneer to Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland was greatly Interested in
the pictures in the Art Institute espe
cially when any one attempted to talk
politics to him. He was gazing into the
restful background of a fishing scene by
Corot when he was asked what be thought
about tho report that Bryan has given
up the fight for sliver. In the picture
there was a boat and a man sitting In
the prow casting a line Into a rural pool.
Mr. Cleveland "had been lost In contem
plation. But now from out the repose of
his face a smile, or what promised to bo
one, glimmered through the sparse white
mustache, trembled a moment doubtfully
as tho keen, blue eyes were directed on
the interviewer, then slowly crept out at
each corner of the mouth and spread like
an eddy till It had puckered his eyes Into
narrow silts and smoothed out an incipi
ent frown on his brow. Mr. Cleveland
was plainly grinning right at tho fish
erman In the picture. Then ho smoothed
the wisp of hair on the top of his head
and said:
"I get a real joy out of that"
The Interviewer pricked up an ear and
prepared to take notes.
"Picture," concluded Mr. Cleveland.' I
have alwajys salq that Corot must have
been a fisherman.
At the luncheon given by Mr. Eckels at
the Chicago Club there were SO. prominent
Chicago business and professional men.
In the morning he called on Mr. Walter
Q. Gresham and then visited the Armour
Institute, where ho addressed 1500 cheer
ing students on tho opportunities of education.

Newspaper men will prove at the Em

thatjthey can do other things besides get
the news and write it in spicy style to
serve up hot on everybody's breakfast
and supper table. They are writing songs
on men and affairs with which they' come
In daily contact and will sing them to
music with which the people are already
familiar. They will crack jokes from
wh'lch the bloom of youth has not been
worn by frequent repetition.
Tho attitude of Chief Hunt to the gam
blers and the sporting element will form
the subject of an opening chorus In which
the whole blackfaced company will Join.
The minstrels will offer a solution for the
vexed question, at which the Mayor, the
Chief, the Ministerial Association, the
Municipal Association, and tho gamblers
will Jump as eminently Just Gilbert Cos
tello will bring out all the weird qual
ities of "the Congo Lovo Song" and other
members will sing parodies on "Ain't
That a Shame" and "Under the Bamboo
Tree." Weber and Fields will find that
there are others who can mimic the Dutch
If they como to hear Rea Irvin and A. L.
Hart In their dialect dialogue. John H.
Stevenson has been ransacking the dic
tionary for all the big words of not less
than five syllables .and has strained his
jaws so badly In pronouncing them that
ho has to rub the Joints with liniment
every night He promises that his Jaw

enough by today week to reel off all tho

talk about in his monologue no ono knows,
for, whenever he Is asked, ho simply
wlnkg the other eye and says nothing,
but from tho knowing way In which be
winks it Is a safe bet that ho has some
thing good in store.
But in all this variety of fun the inter
locutor and tho end men must not bo
overlooked. Long, lean John E. Lath
rop will occupy the center of the stage.
Ordinarily he looks so solemn that no
one would ever 6uspect him of the abil
ity to laugh, but when W. G. MacRae,
Fred Earp, Gilbert Costello and A. L.
Morris begin firing jokes at him he will
be seen to expand into a seraphic smile,
the dimensions of which cannot be com
puted. They dare not retail stale Jokes,
for any man guilty of such a crime will
be seized by tho other members of the
club and flung to the tender mercy of the
enraged audience.
But there will be more music, for W.
H. Souls has organized a- musical aggre
gation iwhlch will silence the birds with
Its harmony. Carl S. Kelty and Mr.

and Mr. Souls and Mr. Wallstein will
give a guitar duo. ,
All this will be merely by way of pre
lude to the regular vaudeville, which Itself
draws crowded houses every night As
the minstrels and the vaudeville show are

CHICAGO. Oct 20c-For the first time
In the history of Chicago police court has
been held In a patrol wagon. Justice
Caverly climbed In the wagon, which was

the- stolen property and was found by de
tectives suffering from appendicitis. An
operation was performed on her at the
Coiyity Hospital and she was discharged..
The jail officials refused to take her with

station annex could not receive her. Jus
tice Caverly helped the officers out of the
dilemma by holding court In the patrol
wagon.

HE-DECLINES THE CHAIR
CHARLES EL LADD CAXXOT HEAD
- LIVESTOCK COMMITTEE. .
Provision Made for Snb-Committecs
on Entertainment of National
Livestock Convention.
It seems probable that Richard Scott
will be chairman of the committee for
the entertainment of the National Live
stock Association. Charles E. Ladd has
declined to serve on account of the press
of other business and the disposition of
the committee at the meeting In the
Chamber of Commerce rooms yesterday
was to elect Mr. Scott chairman after an
other attempt to induce Mr. Ladd to
serve. The selection of sub-committees
was confided to Mr. Scott and C. J. Mll-
JJs, the secretary, who blushlngly Insist
ed that the committee was doing him too
much honor In loading so much responsi
bility upon him.
When the meeting opened, Mr. Scott,
who, as vice-president occupied the chair.
announced that Mr. Ladd had declined, as
ho could not possibly give time to tho
attempt be made to Induce Mr. Ladd to I
remain, at least for the present with
the understanding that Mr. Scott would
be the active head and In tho hope that
Mr. Ladd would ultimately remain to
the end. John E. Lathrop did not think
Mr. Ladd would change his mind and
maintained that the man who did the
work should be the real chairman. J. W.
Bailey was of the same opinion. Mr.
Mlllls was deeply disappointed that Mr.
Ladd could not serve, although he agreed
that Mr. Scott would be an excellent
chairman. Mr. Scott said Mr. Ladd had
told him he not only declined the chair
manship of this committee, but had In
tended to resign as chairman of the com
mittee on agriculture of the Lewis and
Clark Fair. 'However, he had induced
Mr. Ladd to retain tho latter position.
Mr. Balloy was opposed to a figurehead
chairman and proposed Mr. Scott's se
lection, with Mr. Ladd as vice-chairman.
At Mr. Mlllls' suggestion It was decided
to make another effort to Induce Mr. Ladd
to serve and, If that failed, to adopt Mr.
Bailey'3 suggestion.
Mr. Mlllls then read the names of the
executive committee and suggested that
ho be authorized to also appoint a com
mittee of five fromach Coast state, as
this would tend to'secure an Increased
attendance from those states. As sub
committees of tho general committee he
proposed a finance committee, which
should havo subcommittees on collections,
distribution and audit; a programme com
mittee, which should have subcommittees
cn general reception, special reception,
excursions, ball and smoker, theaters and
music, and finally a press committee.
This list was adopted as read.
A further suggestion from Mr. Mlllls
that each county In the state have a com
mittee and be asked to bear a share of
the expense was adopted, together with
this suggestion that a committee be ap
pointed from each Coast state, and he
was authorized to appoint them. When
Mr. Beach proposed that the chairman
and secretary also name the subcommit
tees, Mr. Mlllls protested that this would
be doing him too much honor and the gen
eral committee should share tho work,
but In the end Mr. Beach's motion pre
vailed. Then camo a debate as to tho manner
of raising funds. Mr. Bailey wished to
have the work done Jointly by the Cham
ber of Commerce and Board of Trade, but
Max M. Shlllock, secretary of the latter
body, recalled that both were represented
on this committee. Mr. Beach, who Is
president of tho Board of Trade, said he
did not bellevo the expense would be as
great as estimated, for each event ar
ranged for the entertainment of the dele
gates could bo made to take caro of It
