Pleasures of Bosh Culture. Rose cul
ture on a large scale is a. lad -which, while
commendable, is almost as expensive as
duck-hunting these days, and Involves
a very large amount of care and labor
to those who lndulgo in it. There are
several such in this city, -who have from
w to 1000 rosebushes to take care of. a
job -which lazier or more selfish men do
not envy them. Just now they are mulch
ing around their pets, or heaping piles o
stable manure around each, to protect
the roots from cold in the Winter and
fertilize them. One has $16 -worth of
manure piled in front of his plot, and a
man. employed to -wheel it In and dis
tribute it. Another -who has more muscle
and less money has $S -worth, and Is
wheeling it in and distributing It himself.
In January the bushes -will all have to be
trimmed, -which -will keep a professional
pruner busy for several days, as the jlots
are a -wilderness from the luxurious
growth of the young shoots. Later, if all
goes -well, and the season Is favorable,
these culturlsts -will have roses by the
thousands and tens of thousands, and -will
have to keep snipping and clipping and
giving them away all the time to keep
their grounds In order and produce the
best quality of blooms. This Is a pleasure
-which repays a liberal-hearted man. for
all his trouble and expense, but -would be
death to a mean, stingy fellow, but none
such ever became rose culturlsts.
Foolkiller Might Catch Htm. Speak
ing yesterday about the case mentioned
in The Oregonlan -where a bad boy had
brought shame and disgrace upon hin pa
rents, and his father had refused to In
tercede to save him from punishment, or
2ven to bail him out of JaiL a well-known
citizen approved of this action. He spoko
iof a communication recently published In
iUHs city, the -writer of -which charged
parents with being responsible for their
I boys turning out to be hoodlums. He
stated that his boys were always kept at
lliome evenings, and asserted that if all
parents took care of their boys in this
imanner, there would be no hoodlums. In
Fconclusion. he said that all hoodlums
should be killed off. and that it would bo
well if their parents were killed with
rithem. "It was rather a sweeping rem-
fedy, continued the citizen, "and may be
I deemed impracticable by some, but will
I be approved by many, but I think It
iwould have been more satisfactory If he
had Included fools omone those who
should be killed off. And I would like to
ask the writer of that communication
what he supposes would become of him,
if the foolkiller should pass his way. it
would be a good thing If the fools were
i all killed off, but the rest of us would be
mighty lonesome after it was done."
Fkacturbd His Wooden- Leo. While
driving out in a road cart the other even
ing C I. Scoffln, in trying to turn a high
corner at Crosby and Holladay streets,
was thrown out in the street by the
wheel striking the curb. Mr. Scoffin was
injured In a street-car accident in 1893,
and, as a result, lost one of his legs,
which has been replaced by a wooden one.
In the last mishap mentioned the cart
ran over his legs, and when the spectators
rushed to help him up they were shocked
1 to see one of his legs hang limp and
helpless, and, of course, supposed it was
I broken. They were amazed when, as soon
las he had fairly recovered himself, ho
grasped his horse and, without much trou
ble, despite the Injured leg, boosted him-
1 self into his cart and drove off. The
crowd stood and discussed the miracle of
such a seriously injured man being able
o do this, till some one who knew him
Informed them that the supposed broken
leg was merely a wooden one, and then
i they scattered. The fracture of a wooden
I leg is not so painful as that of a natural
limb, but it disables ono sometimes.
Old Restaurant Sold. The Royal
Restaurant, one of the old landmark in
this city, which was opened by E. J. Iadd,
at First and Madison streets, 20 years
ago, has fallen a victim to the advance
I in rents, and on Friday was sold out,
'lock, stock and barrel, and closed forever.
Mr. Ladd conducted It for 13 years, and
sold out to William Bohlander, who con
tinued business at the old stand till the
premises were needed for saloon purposes,
ina the saloon man could pay a larger
'ental. Saloons have become necessities
of life, and are needed in every block If
possible, and sometimes there are several
in a block, or on each side of a block. A
Juan can walk a block, or even a mllo,
for his dinner, but no one will go that far
to get a drink, and no one Is likely to
; have to for some time in this city.
Albixa Avenue Paved. The late fine
weather has enabled street paving con
tractors to get their work about complet
ed and in shape to close down work for
the Winter. Alblna avenue has been
I paved with wood blocks. This Is the first
thoroughfare to be paved on the East
Side, and It is now carrying all the im
mense traffic from the Alblna ferry to the
great comfort of teams and the delight of
teamsters. It Is the beginning of a large
system of streets to be Improved In this
way, work on which will be continued in
the Spring.
It COSTS to Live. Housekeepers who
have limited bank accounts and large
I families to provide for complain of the
i high cost of living at present. Butter Is
70 cents a roll, eggs 35 cents per dozen.
i apples and potatoes cost more than usual.
I Meats and poultry are high. Wood Is
i dear, and poor people have to buy small
quantities at a time and get short meas
ure, and it costs more to get it piled in.
The Chinaman who used to charge 15
cents per hour for cutting grass and spad
ing up the garden now charges 25 cents.
Caught bt a Saw. Henry Coates, a
gang-sawyer on the night shift at the
Portland Lumber Company's mill, in
South Portland, was caught by a saw at
4 o'clock yesterday morning. His arm
was so badly injured that he was re
moved to Good Samaritan Hospital.
where Dr. E.. H. Thornton found it neces
sary to perform an amputation just above
the elbow. Coates, who came from The
Dalles some time ago, lives at 618 Petty
grove street.
Civil Service Examinations. The
United States Civil Sen-ice Commission
announces that on December 9 an exam
ination will be held in the city for the
position of Examiner of Surveys, in the
Jeneral Land Office service, at a salary
'of 55 per diem and expenses. Persons de

TTATTr frXfTCJ TJWI RrtTTrYTT-T C Thnmqel
Howell, botanist, and A. T. Miller, who
went up to Mount Hood a short time ago
to gather seeds of conifers to send to Eu
rope, came back last week, soo'ner than
they had expected. The reason for tills
was that they found It had been an ex
tremely bad year for fruit in coniferous
trees, owing to cold, rainy weather at the
time the trees were in full bloom. They
went after seeds of the Noble fir. Doug
las spruce, Alpine hemlock and Shasta
fir particularly. They secured a small
number of cones of the latter, but very
few of the others, and so gave up their
search and returned. They found the
road clear of snow and In good order
clear to O. C. Yokum's place on the sum
mit, and found him at work nil alone
finishing up his house. The trail up the
mountain was in good shape for climbing,
and the weather delightful, but they got
down into the rain on their way back.
They felt sorry for the gray and pine
squirrels, which Inhabit the forests about
the base of the mountain, and live during
the Winter on the seeds they extract from
the cones they stow away under windfalls
and in other protected places. They are
likely to go hungry this Winter." The
Clark'B crow, which lives In the Winter
on the nuts of a species of pine which it
is able to secure with Its powerful beak,
will fare better, as the crop of these nuts
is fairly good, but the poor squirrels can
not open the hard cones to get the nuts,
and many of them will starve. The little
chipmunk is wjse enough to hibernate in
the Winter, and next Spring can lecture
on the survival of the fittest.
Complain Even at Elevators. Many
complain of the "shortness of time," by
which they mean the brevity of life, and
regret that so much of their time Is
wasted In waiting for street-cars, barbers,
elevators, and in eating, etc., which, how
ever, Is all unavoidable. People are more
impatient about waiting for elevators than
other things, say they are always at the
wrong end of the shaft, or stuck In the
middle, and say many things In an ele
vator which they do not think of else
where. As a cage was becoming over
crowded yesterday, a man at the back
said there seemed to be a mania on the
part of elevators to get overloaded. An
other said many men had the same habl.,
but generally did not have sense enough
to know that they were too full, but an
elevator always knew when It was over
loaded. The last man who filled the door
way, as he Jammed In, said to the operat
or: "Will you have the kindness to take
mo up to the fourth floor?" When he got
off, the operator said: "That was a great
waste of politeness. It Is my duty to take
people to any floor, and I am paid for It,
and in doing so bestow no kindness."
Clover Seed in Great Demand. An
other Oregon product is in demand abroad
red clover seed which Is found to be of
superior quality, and Is now being shipped
to California and other states in consid
erable quantities. Red clover flourishes
to perfection in the Willamette Valley,
and farmers are now raising It for seed
extensively. A traveling buyer who has
Just returned from a trip up the Valley
to get a ton'or two to fill shipping orders,
was greatly impressed with the country
and the evidences of prosperity he saw
among the farmers. He says the farmers
have money to burn, and new farmhouses
and barns are seen on every hand, and
old ones are being painted. One farmer,
on being asked what he was doing now,
said: "Digging holes to put my money
in." He said the robbery of country
banks made him a little afraid to put his
money In any bank, but a sand bank.
This joker has cleared $10,000 In the last
two years on hops, his .farm having paid
all expenses and left his money from hops
clean profit.
No Market for Valuable Dog. The
valuable pointer dog, Plain Star, raffled
off a day or two ago, was won by John
H. Burgard. He is not a sporting man.
and has np U3e for the animal. The dog
was valued at ?250, and is presumably
worth that sum to any one -who wants
such a dog, and has that amount of
money for which he has no better use.
But Mr. Burgard does not find any ap
plicant In that fix to take the animal off
his hands. He has been offered smaller
sums for the dog, and one man has of
fered as high as 575, and he thinks he
knows of another who would be willing
to pay 3100. if he had the money, but
there are too many ifs and ands when it
comes to selling valuable dogs. He will
probably before long do with his prize as
Senator Fulton did with his royal St.
Bernard give it to a friend to get rid
of It.
Real Estate Active Again. Real, es
tate dealers report business much im
proved of late and prospects very encour
aging. There was a lull during August
and September, but early in October ac
tivity was resumed, and since that timo
business has kept Improving, as the rec
ord of sales shows. Houses have been
renting very well. Money has never been
more plentiful In Portland than at pres
ent, and all level-headed men realize that
there Is no safer Investment for It than
In Portland real estate. A cheerful ex
pression is nqw to be seen in the faces of
many who looked blue 30 days ago. There
Is no falling off in building operations,
nor Is there likely to be for a long time.
Partnership Change. Mr. Harry
Schoof has purchased the interest of his
partner in the old-established and well
known business firm of Lenoir & Schoof,
34S Morrison street, where he will be
pleased to meet his many friends. Mr.
Schoof Is a well-known and popular busi
ness man. It will be his aim Jto continue.
and even Improve, the high reputation
this firm has attained in the handling of
none but absolutely the purest Imported
wines and liquors and California wines
and brandies. Family trade will be con
tinued as a specialty. Choice brands of
cigars always on hand. The well-known
sample-room connected will continue to
dispense none but the very best.
Crrr Press Club to Meet. Thero will
be a special meeting of the members of
the City Press Club of Portland at the
club rooms in the Marquam building,
Monday evening, at 8 o'clock. The object
of the meeting is to hear a report from
the committee having in charge the re
cent minstrel performance at the Empire
Theater, and to decide on proper waysi
and means to invest, the proceeds. This
will be one of the most important meet
ings held by the club this Winter, and all
members have been urged to bo In at
tendance. Elevator fob Mount St. Joseph
Home. The Sisters of Mercy return their
sincere thanks to Miss McKay and her
two brothers, who kindly donated an ele
vator to Mount St, Joseph Home for the
Aged. Many of the old people will now
be able to come to the chapel, dining
room and enjoy a walk In the grounds,
which formerly was impossible. The Sis
ters hope other "charitably disposed peo
ple will come forward and assist In put
ting the elevator in the Home, now that
the donation has been made.
Bot Arrested for Theft. Archie Mc
Coy, a 13-year-old boy, was arrested yes
terday, charged by S. A. Arata with steal
ing goods from his Third-street liquor
store. McCoy Is a graduate of the Boys
and Girls Aid Society. Arata, It seems,,
suspected the boy some time ago, and
watched him whenever he came Into the
store. Now he thinks he has conclusive
evidence that the boy stole several bot
tles of liquor from the window.
At the regular quarterly meeting Sun
day, November L the Congregation
Ahaval Sholum elected officers for the

dent for the sixth term; Mr. A. Rosen
stcln, vice-president; S. Abrahams, treas
urer; Isaac Swett, secretary; trustees, D.
Soils Cohen, J. Dellar, J. Asher, S. H.

ficers Gibson and Anderson, who found
them smoking opium in a room at Sec

Stirring war pictures, comedy and pa
thos. Illustrating that romance of the
dead Confederacy, William Gillette's play
In four acts, "Secret Service," "was pre
sented at two performances, yesterday to
crowded houses by the Nelll-Morosco Com
pany, at Baker's Theater. Numerous cur
tain recalls were given, the members of
the company were excellently cast, and
the play was cordially received. "Secret
Service" was last presented in this city
about five years ago by Daniel Frawley,
and is familiar to most playgoers who
have traveled. But to ono who has seen
the play for the first time he Is tempted
to ask why the dramatist did not give
nobler lines to Lewis Dumont, of the
United States Secret Service, masquerad
ing in Richmond as Captain Thome, a
trusted agent of the Confederacy? Whoa
he is caught by the irate "rebs," Thome's
lines do not give him liberty to make one
magnetic speech for the Union the South
erners are trying to break down. But
the new leading man, William Corbett,
made a magnificent appearance, and In
playing Captain Thorno he Is a soldier
and a gentleman, every inch of him. He
is tall, good looking, and has a singular
ly pleasant voice and manner. He also Is
a skilful actor, and a creator of many
moods. Mr. Corbett will prove an unques
tioned source of strength to tho Nelll
Morosco Company.
In cne of the strongest scenes In the
play Captain Thome's brother, vHenry
Dumont (Wilfred Rogers) escapes from
Llbby Prison, makes his way to the Var
ney house to find his brother and shoots
himself to avoid capture by the Confed
erates. Mr. Corbett excelled In this act,
when, to save his identity and the cause
he had at heart, he points to his dying
brother and tells the corporal to "remove
the prisoner." His love scenes with Edith
Varney (Lillian Kemble) were well acted,
and lent light and shade to the grim war
picture. Miss Kemble did not have so
much to do on the stage as usual, and
she was capable and resourceful at all
times. The real comedy is entrusted to
Caroline Mltford (Elsie Esmond) and Wil
fred Varney (Frederic Sumner). Miss Es
mond gives a pretty picture of an" unso
phisticated Southern girl, and Mr. Sumner
shines in portraying a bashful young
Southerner who Is suddenly made into a
man by a summons to go to the front and
fight the Yankees. Thomas Oberlo does
finished work in playing- tho character of
the chief villain, Benton Arrelsford, a
member of the Confederate Secret Serv
ice. Both Mr. Corbett and Joseph Dally give
life and action to the scene illustrating
the war telegraph office, and the 'tele
graph Instruments click with business-like
rapidity. Frank MacVIcar was massive
and sufficiently stern as Brigadier-General
Randolph. There are no flags used In the
play, and not one siiigle Yankee uniform
Is shown. There are Just two revolver
shots fired, and the smell of gunpowder
bothers no one. "Secret Service" will fin
ish tho present engagement of the Nelll
Morosco Company, tand Is played so well
that It is 4mre to have crowded houses all
this week.
BEAUTIFYING THE SITE.
Lewis and Clark Fair Grounds to Be
a Garden Spot.
The grounds of the Lewis and Clark Fair
rapidly being transformed into a veritable
garden spot of beauty. The landscap
ing of the grounds Is practically com
pleted and it has been done with artistic
results. Before another year shall have
rolled around the site selected for Port
land's big fair will be verdant with grass
and abloom with floral beauty. Not less
than SS30 pounds of grass seed has been
sown. In some places the grass has al
ready made an appearance and a sugges
tion is given of the beauty that may be
there when the whole place is covered
with a carpet of green.
Director of Works Huber has been on
the grounds early and late as possible
before the rainy weather sets in. It Is his
Intention to continue work as 'long as
possible.
All of the heavy grading has been com
pleted and the grading crews were dis
charged Saturday night.
Robert Wakefield, who has the con
tract for the work of transforming Guild's
Lake into an aquatic pleasure spot, is
setting up his engine and will begin
work as soon as possible driving piles for
the erection of the bulkhead to retain tho
water.
During this week a dredger from tho
Willamette River will be skidded over on
the railroad to tho lake and the work of
dredging will be commenced.
All sewers have nearly all been laid and
the fire plugs are to be attached to tho
water mains as soon as possible.

Cordray'3 Theater was crowded to the
doors last night and about 500 people were
turned away for lack of room, on tho
presentation by Arthur C. Alston's Com
pany of the melodrama In five acts, "At
the Old Crossroads," a tale of fife In a
Southern plantation. The company Is a
good one, and the production Is one of
the best given at Cordray's Theater for
a l6ng time. Two of the members of the
company, James M. Brophy, who plays
Dr. Kerr, a Mississippi steamboat gam
bler, and Estha Williams, the Parepa, an
octoroon, are already favorably known
along theEaclfic Coast Mr. Brophy Is
the leading man, and for a number of
years played stock engagements In San
Francisco. The play Is beautifully staged,
especially the scene representing tho rus
tic beauty of the crossroads, and it Is
enlivened by the singing of the American
Four Quartet one of the best male quar
tets that ever visited Portland to sing In
a theater at popular prices. Last night
this quartet captured tho house by their
fine singing, and they received encore
after encore Their voices blend beauti
fully, and they sing with good expression.
For encores they gave "Up in a Cocoanut
Tree," and an amusing medley of popu
lar songs.
The main problem found in "At the Old
Crossroads" is the stain attached to a
white girl who. It Is afterward discovered,
has negro blood in her veins. She Is An
nabel Thornton (Mildred Hyland) daugh
ter of Dayton Thornton (William Brum
mell) and Parepa, the octoroon. Thorn
ton is master of a typical Southern plan
tation, and years before the play opens
he has wronged Parepa. But he makes the
woman his housekcoper, and educates
their daughter, Annabel. Thornton hates
the Martins, who own a neighboring plan
tation, and he chuckles when he finds out
that young Thomas Martin (Owen Mc
Cormack) and Annabel love each other.
Ho gives a party to his friends, who
respond in evening dress, and In an
nouncing his daughter's engagement, ho
coarsely states that the girl has negro
blood. Of course there Is a sensation,
but Parepa and Martin stick to the girl.
Parepa swears to have revenge, and
when she meets the man who ruined her
life at the old crossroads, he strikes her
In the face, with his whip, and she kills
him with a revolver In the good old-fashioned
way. An Inquest Is held, and with
true Southern chivalry tho members of
the Jury unanimously find a verdict of
justifiable homicide, and sho is set free.
Just at this time, Dr. Kerr, who has
been absent on a trip to discover if
Parepa Is really an octoroon, returns with
the Information that she is really a white
woman. Miss Williams! acting In the
scene where she Is tried for her life, was
splendid. There Is a cleverness about Mr.
Brophy's acting that Is refreshing. Loulso
Valentine and Julie Blanc kept up the
comedy end very well. "At the Old Cross
roads" will be at Cordray's all week
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
VFIorodora" Musical Comedy at the
Marquam Tonight.
.
In the musical comedy "Florodora,"
which opens an engagement of two nights
at tho Marquam Grand Theater tonight
with a special matinee tomorrow at 2:15
o'clock, stands pre-eminent It had not
been thirty days old, as Its American ex
istence Is reckoned, until all New York
was humming and whistling Its tuneful
airs and within a very few weeks the
contagion had spread to all parts of the
country. The music, beautiful though It
was when played by orchestras, did not
havo any part of the attraction for tho
public that it did when Interpreted by
the characters of the play, and, there
fore, when, after a year and a half of
great prosperity in New York, the play
was taken to the other principal cities
Its tuneful airs created a sensation that
has lasted ever since. "Florodora" will
be presented by Fisher and Ryley's big
No. 1 company, which has Isadore Rush,
R. E. Graham, Philip H. Ryley, Greta
Rlsley, Donald Brine, Harriett Merrltt,
Joseph Phillips, Lillian Spencer and Thos.
A. Klernan for principals. This is the
best array of talent that has ever ap
peared in the play and backed up by a
chorus of 70, the famous double sextette
and a special orchestra, play-goers will
be justified in looking forward to a per
formance that will have many new ele
ments to recommend it In addition to
the vast number of players they have
provided, Fisher and Ryley have also
given the piece a most elaborate environ
ment the scenery and baggage carried
necessitating the use of two 00-foot cars.
Seats are now selling for the three per
formances. New Bill at the Arcade.
The new bill at tho Arcade Theater
opens today at 2J0 P. M. for one week's
