Bluo herons bitterns used to be very numerous on le duck-hunting grounds of this section tn early days, but are now very scarce. ley disappeared because the hunters dis liked them and never failed to kill them rhen opportunity offered, on account of icir habit of squalklng whenever they lw a man with a gun and thus gave the iuckn warning of danger. A sportsman rho chot a fine specimen of a bittern Sat- furday told a story about Uncle Davie cnastcs, a ploneor hunter, who was ai rways on tho ground and shot large num- of ducks. One day just afe he had t comfortably seated in his blind and was watching the movements of a big flock of ducks a bltem with a big sucker In its bill came flying over, and, seeing air jdonastes, gave a warning squawk at the same time dropping the fish, and as Mcnastes looked up in a rage the fish struck him squarely across the face. He managed by a long shot to bring down tho bird, which fell far off, and McnaMcs was so enraged that, reckless of scaring the ducks, he walked down and emptied the second barrel of his gun into the bird, blowing It to splinters. He then returned to his blind, the ducks began flying, and he soon had a pile of them in the brush behind him. Two men who tvere shooting a short distance away around a point with poor luck had a re triever which was not honest, and it sneaked around through the brush and stole about 30 ducks from Monastes' pile. Then Monastes kept watch on his birds, land, detecing the dog, followed him back and recovered all his birds at the point of the gun. Duck hunters had more sport at less expense in those days than they lo new. New Bbars roR. Park. Two young and Ilveiy bears have been ordered by the Park Commission from Idaho, through C. 2. Dodd. There were four old bears in Ibe rlt at the park, but the old grizzly and . black one died and the other two are c!d and inclined to be quarrelsome, and have lost their activity. Moreover, they "would kill the two young ones if they could get a chance. They have, therefore. outlived their usefulness, and will have to give placo to young bears, which by their agility can better amuse. The old bears will be killed and their skins mounted for the City Museum. Colonel Hawkins contemplates having the cinna mon j-laced in the recess under tho stair Tray in the basement to offset the Hoyal Bengal tiger in an. opposite recess. He also desires to procure a large iron bear cage for the park, in which some of tho j bears can be kept where tho visitors can set a better view of them than in the pit. He says bear pits are out of style these days, cages being preferred. "With the two young bears now in the park and two more from Idaho and another which has been partially promised as a present to the park, there will be bears enough to last awhile. ; Hock for Street Paving. Several of the contractors who supply the city with crushed rock for mending macadam streets have critically examined the speci mens of rock brought down from the Cla-kamas where tho Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company proposes to open a quarry to furnish crushed rock to the city. They all agree that it appears to bo good rock, hard and heavy, and dif ferent from basalt, which breaks with a smooth fracture, while this breaks in ir regular shapes. City Engineer Elliott has no opinion to give as to the quality of the rock until it has been thoroughly test ed as to its breaking strain and power to resist abrasion. Contractors say that tho comparative irlces of the crushed rock as quoted are not a fair showing, as the price of the Portland stone delivered on the ground is compared with the price of the Clackamas stone at the bunkers. Slow "Work at Exposition Grounds. The traction engine and trains of wagons tmployed in graveling roadways in the Exposition grounds have been laid off for etevcral days -on account of the heavy rains. The work has been progressing rather slowly so far, owing- to the small cumber of wagons obtainable and the amount of work necessary to get the gravel pit and the road leading to it in , grod crder, but several hundred cubic yards of gravel have been spread and tied. Four new wagons nave neen se cured, which will enable two trains of five cars to be operated, and as the road is now in order, the work will proceed more rapidly. It is expected that 90 to 100 cubic yards of gravel per day will be hauled, at which rate the improvement of the roads in tho grounds will soon bo perceptible VCivl, Begin Enlarging Postoffice. At last work is to be commenced on the enlargement of the Postoffice building. As en Saturday Contractors Langford and Walker received formal orders from Su perintendent Lazarus to commence work at once They will got on the ground to fiay and put things in readiness for ac tive operations. They have had a large irtn pele made on the Yamhlll-street side of the building, which is to be used in taking down somo of the heavy stones in the west wall, which weigh from seven to eight tens each, and derricks will be used in handling the smaller ones. Superin tendent Lazarus will establish his head quarters in the old money order office at once, and every effort will be made to fjrward the work during the "Winter, as nil concerned will have other construc tion work to look after in the Spring.

A solemn-appearing fellow whom some Imagine is a member of Dowle's advance guard, has been meandering around town of late, evidently sizing up the people of Portland and looking into their manners and customs. He appears to be specially interested in learning how people spend the Sabbath. A while ago he visited an office where several young men were at work and asked each how he had spent tho previous Babbath. One said he had gone fishing, two said they had gone duck shooting, one said he bad slept during the forenoon and had his breakfast just in time to get to see the baseball game, and he had played keno all the evening. Another said he had spent most of the day cleaning a chimney and trying to put up a heating stove for "Winter. He added that if there was any sin in such work it had brought its own punishment, for he got into a heap of trouble with the chimney, and had to take the stove to pieces and could not get It together again. The Inquirer appeared much shocked, and remarked that It was high time that some evangelist visited this city, but did not say whether he meant Dowle or a "Holy Roller." Rain Choked Cttt.Sewebs. The five inspectors and six repairers of sewers at tached to the City Engineer's department have been kept very busy since the storm commenced endeavoring to keep in order the 40 miles of city sewers which have been put to a severe test by the unusually heavy rainfall. The catchbaslns were choked with dead leaves and rubbish swept down the flooded sewers, and when cleared were often choked again in a few minutes, flooding the streets in many places. The Inspectors say .that the sewer in which a break was complained of by "Taxpayer" on Friday was a private one, constructed some eight years ago to con nect Ave or six houses with the main sewer, and that the city has no right to repair it. The city puts in main sewers and Y branches and the property-owners make their own connections and take care of them, the same as they do in regard to service pipes connected with water mains. Much Building This Yeaii. The cost of the buildings erected In Portland dur ing the present year bids fair to surprise many people, notwithstanding that build ing was hampered by strikes. The build ing permits Issued in 1S& amounted to $374,500, the email amount being due to the hard times. In preparing the Munici pal reports for 1903 it is found that In the months of January and February alone building permits were issued amounting to over 5600,000, and this does not Include any of the large buildings erected this year, some, of which cost as much as all the building done in 1S94. The largest item included in the permits for January and February this year is the repairing of the Dekum building. Interest in Temperance "Work. On Tuesday evening Multnomah Alliance will meet at the home of I. H. Amos, S53 Hawthorne avenue, at which time an in teresting programme will be carried out, principally along Prohibition and temper ance lines. The Sunnyslde Alliance will be the guests of Multnomah and no doubt a large attendance of friends will be pres ent. A new alliance is being formed at University Park and more interest is be ing shown in this work all along the line than for somo time past. Hot Times in Idaho. R. Everdlng, who has of late been suffering from an attack of rheumatism, went to Hot Lake, Idaho, a week ago, hoping to find relief. He writes back that he was cooked in a pool at a temperature of 200 and then cooled off in one of 115 degrees. He thinks he was nearer Hades than he ever wants to be again, and the five inches of snow on the ground is a cheering sight. TrvnEn Their. Resignation. At the 'regular monthly meeting of the Novah Zedeck Talmud Torah, held yesterday af ternoon at the Synagogue, Fourth and Hall streets. Dr. N. Mosessohn and his two sons, Moses and David M., tendered their resignation as members of the con gregation. Tiie officers who were elected at a meeting held a month ago were In stalled. W0BX OF DEACONESS. Woman to Assist Pastor of Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church. The services and sermon yesterday morning In Centenary Methodist Episco pal Church, East Side, were in further ance of the work of the Methodist Dea conesses, which has been established In Eastern cities quite generally. Rev. "W. B. Hollingshead devoted the main por tion of his morning discourse to show ing what the duty of the church is and what true Christianity consists of. He said, among other things, that the church had failed to do its whole duty along practical lines, and that almost under the shadow of Centenary's tower there had been .men and women and families in actual want for the needs of llfe. There were widows and orphans, he said, within a few blocks of Centenary Church for whom the problems of life had been almost unsolvable. It was the duty of the church to search out and care for them, but it had not done so. Mr. Hollingshead declared that no ono could be a true Christian who did not feel the need and Impulse of reaching out a helping hand to those in want and In distress. The pastor could find these people. He could make a house-to-house visitation. Mr. Hollingshead said that since he had been pastor 'of Centenary for the past two and a half years, his time had been taken up with problems of finance, and he was still a comparative stranger In tho community. When the young people had taken up the move ment to employ a deaconess as an assist ant pastor he had greatly rejoiced. Her work would be to make a house-to-house visit and invite the friendless to come to church, to ascertain their wants and sufferings, and it would then be tho duty of the church to supply them and thus make religion practical. The deaconess would be an assistant pastor in this line of work. Mr. Hollingshead made an earn est appeal for the support of tho move ment during the conference year. He asked those who would give personal assistance to write to him, so there could be no misunderstanding. He was sure that the results would more than com pensate for the effort put forth. The deaconess who is here to enter on this work under the auspices of Cen tenary Church and the direction of tho pastor is Miss Haynes, a graduate of the Lucy "Webb Hays National Training School, of "Washington, D. C, who comes highly recommended for the work she will be called on to do. The deaconess and visitation committee is composed of S. Roome, E. S. Miller, Mrs. E. N. Wheeler, J. C. Roberts and Mrs. EL C. Clements. This committee is also an advisory committee to the pastor. DEATH CAME SUDDENLY. Thomas J. Dalton, Cljgarmaker, Dies on the Street. Thomas J. Dalton. a ' clgarmaker. droped dead, apparently of heart failure, early yesterday morning on Second street between Pino and Oak streets. Dalton had spent the evening with friends, whom he had left a short time before. He was about 75 feet from tho police station when ho collapsed, fall ing upon the sidewalk with none to see his accident. "When found by a police man soon after 3 o'clock, a few moments after his death, the body showed no signs of violence, and Coroner FInley, after making an investigation, decided that no Inquest was necessary, a3 the cause of death seemed apparent. Dalton was a member of the Cigar makers' "Union. He was born in Indian apolis 32 years ago. His parents live in. Cleveland, O. He had been rooming at First and Madison streets.

That explains the warm, enthusiastic re ception accorded to the members of tho Baker Theater Company yesterday at two brilliant performances of Henry Arthur Jones' "The Dancing Girl," an English society play made familiar to theater-goers by Frawley and Sothern. In both in stances yesterday the audiences were lim ited to the entire seating capacity of the theater, and "The Dancing Girl" rejeeived every mark of appreciation that a friend ly audience could give. The occasion was an extremely inter esting one, because of the fact that it was the opening of the Baker Theater's regular season with Its home company, when the old favorites were welcomed and the new members of the company seen here for the first time. The most import ant of the new arrivals is the leading lady. Miss Edna Archer Crawford, and it must have been a trying experience for her, but she came out of the ordeal with flying colors. She has a fine presence and voice, combined with undoubted talent, and she aroused her audience to enthusi asm in the famous quarrel episode, by her realistic, thrilling acting in the third scene, where, at tho reception given by the Duke of Gulsebury, she reaches a dram atic climax after an angry reproach from her father. The latter calls down the curse of heavon on her for her double life, as she stands at the head of a stair way in the reception hall. She is a regal figure clad in a gorgeous yellow velvet gown, and then she falls in a paroxysm of tears, rolls down those eleven steps of the stairway, and lands with a sensational crash on the stage below. Miss Crawford bad to act against the natural sympathies of her audience, for as Diana Valrose, the gay, butterfly dancer, she scatters her love freely between a Duke and a Quaker lover, and Is false to both of them. She does not rant in her emotional acting, but dis plays a quiet reserve force that gives promise of better things to come. She is also an actress of many moods, and was charming In the clear-cut simplicity with which she Invested the character of the Quaker maiden, Drusllla Ives. One mo ment she was the demure Quakeress, and the next the caroless dancing girl who was tired of the restraints of her Island home and eager for the mad whirl of London society. Next the most interesting figure in the play is that of Norma Hyatt, a good 'angel whose stage name is Sybil Crake, and who is loved by the dissipated Duke as "Midge." She has a quiet, refined stage presence, and walks with a crutch to help out her character work as a cripple whose life was once saved by the Duke of Gulsebury, who dragged her from among horses' feet as the frightened animals were trampling her to death in a runaway accident. Her best work is also in the third act, where she limps to tho spot where the Duke is standing and snatches the poison he is about to swal low to end his miserable existence. The lights are lowered at this point, until only the faces of the two are shown, the man's' haggard one shadowed In despair, and the girl's, bright with the Joy of a pure love. Darkness succeeds, and then down comes the curtain. It is an unusua lly artistic portraiture. Frances A. Denson is another newcomer, and she Is responsible for the part of Faith Ives, another Quaker maiden. Sho has an Interesting personality, and was ever the Puritan. Curiously enough, the play opens with Carlyle Moore, the stage manager, coming from tho wings, and he was welcomed with round after round of aplause. In playing John Chrlstlson, Quaker, Mr. Moore never gave a better portraiture since he has appeared at Baker's Theater. He astonished his friends by his flno emo tional work in the scene where he up braids Diana for her lies. As the old fa Lady Brlsllngton. Mr. Alison was at his Bernard, William Dills, Bennett South ard, Mina Crollus Gleason and Roy Ber nardthey all separately received a glad welcome from the audience. Only one fig ure was missing to complete the list, that of Howard Russell, and he did not en ter until the third act. But when he came on, dressed as Augustus Cheevers, dude, with a monocle in his right eye, and a drawling affection of speech, he was also accorded a Baker Theater welcome. Ger trude Rivers made a fine appearance as Lady Brlsllngton. Mr. Alison was at his best as the Duke, and Mr. Bernard was responsible for most of tho fine comedy as an idle aristocrat satirized by J. M. Barrie in his newest play, "Little Mary." The play contains a healthy moral Diana, the dancing girl, is a totally idle, irresponsible creature, and she does not get either of her lovers in the end. She dies in a hospital, but not on the stage and in sight of tho audience. The Duke (Mr. Alison) does not kill himself, but he is morally saved by his good angel, "Midge," and eventually marries her. The scenery and stage pictures are all that could be desired. "The Dancing Girl" Is a treat, and will be the attraction at Baker's all this week. Vale, Empire Vaudeville. It was good-bye for the time being last night at the Empire Theater, and a large audience attended and enjoyed the last performance of high-class vaude ville that Portland will hear for somo little time to come. The same excellent programme was presented as that which has attracted large audiences to the Em pire, all last week, and as usual there was an eager desire to hear the singing of the Hungarian tenor, Herr Vllmos Tltkary. He excelled in his artistic treatment of his operatic .selections. All the other acts were also enjoyed, and when the very last number of all came, the audience filed out slowly, loth to leave such a beauUful, cosy theater, where they have spent so many pleasant even ings. "I hope the Empire is to reopen soon," was a remark often heard last night. Tho DeUncator for December.

Brophy Gewhllllkcr Hay.. Harry F. Dunklnson Asa Bice .William Brummell TomRomaine Owen McCormack Amos Barlow.... ..Lyman F. Tucker Spike Herbert F. Noble Phil Flush Harry L. Wilson Tennessee Kent.. ....Mildred Hyland Mrs. Hay Julia Ble.no Nettle Blc Estba Williams It was a genuine pleasure to attend Cordray's Theater last night and listen to the performance of that rugged Amer ican classio of frontier life, "Tennessee's Pardner," by tho members of Arthur C Alston's company. The theater was crowded in every part, and there was a number of curtain recalls. The play was well staged, and its general surroundings were as realistic as the offering itself. "Tennessee's Pardner" was dramatized from a story by Bret Harte, and first earned fame as a drama at popular prices in the Fourteenth-Street Theater, New York, about the year 1SS5. The late Harry Malnhall was the original Caleb Swan, Jane Corcoran tho Tennessee Kent and Estha Williams, who played the same part last night, was the Nettle Bice, alias Kate Cornish, confidence woman. James M. Brophy Is entitled to the highest praise for his natural, realistic conception of the part of Caleb Swan, card dealer "legitimate and high-toned." He had the easy pose and manner that comes to an actor of long experience and genuine ability, and from the first mo ment, when he assumed paternal charge of little Tennessee Kent, who came from the Southland to look for her father, who had died before her arrival at Sand Hill camp, Nevada, Mr. Brophy had the sympathy of his audience. Another great scene was where he unmasked the new Mrs. Bice, and identified her as a former San Francisco confidence woman known to tho police for her crimes, and when ho told her that he would keep the secret of her past life because he didn't want to break the heart of her husband and his old partner, tho theater rang with ap plause. Mildred Hyland gave a beautiful por traiture of the mountain daisy, Tennes see Kent, and Ehe is one of tho successes of the cast. She has a clear, far-reaching voice, and she spoke1 so distinctly that It was possible to hear all she said, all over the theater. There Is only one shot fired in the play, by Tom Romalne (Owen McCormack), and Miss Hyland was convincing in this scene, as she rushed forward and received the bullet intended for Caleb Swan. The comedy element was supplied by Harry F. Dunklnson in his irresistible, mirth-provoking portraiture of Gewllll ker Hay, a henpecked husband who scorned to tell the truth, even under high pressure. His make-up was a clever one. and his fund of dry wit Immense. His pretenses of work, especially in the wood-sawing scene, must be seen to be understood and enjoyed. Mr. Dunklnson was .ably assisted in the comedy depart ment by Julia Blanc, who played the part of his shrewish wife. She was bit ter and satirical, and at times her speech cut like a two-edged sword. It must. have been a conception of such a part that long ago Induced a certain dramatist to wrltp "The Taming of the Shrew." Estha "Williams gave a finished reading of Nettle Bice, and her work was very enjoyable. So was the work of William Brummell, as Asa Bice. Tho male quar tet sang several pleasing selections. "Tennessee's Pardner" 19 one of the best attractions offered at Cordray's, and will be played there for one week. "SIS HOPKINS" TONIGHT. Puget Sound Papers Praise Roso Melville, Who Comes to Marquam. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater one of the greatest of American character plays, "Sis Hopkins," a story of Indiana with the clover actress. Rose Melville, in the title role, will begin an engagement of thrco nights, The press of Puget Sound has been more than flattering In Its praises of this beautiful pastoral drama and the clever acUng of Miss Melville and her excellent company. The Tacoma Ledger, of last Friday, November 6, says: "Just the very sweetest thing that has come to town In the form of a theatrical attraction this season held the stage at the Tacoma Theater last night. It is something to be a good actor, to read the lines and interpret a given part to meet the approval of people who know, but it is more than that to create a character new to the stage and present it without fault. This Is what a young lady named Rose Melville has done. There are Sis Hopklnses off the stage ranging over Indiana and thereabouts, but hither to she has held aloof from the stage. "With Rose Melville she entered the theater and there she will remain for people to laugh and cry over for many a long year as nearly a classical thing -as David Warfield's "Ylddlsher." Like that creaUoh, too, there are as many tears to be shed over the pathetic mlsadjustments of the simple character to the ways of the know ing people who compose the rest of her world as there is laughter at them. "The play, as a play, Is a good one, of course, otherwise what has been said could not have been said. Excellent op portunity Is created for the introduction of specialties and the specialties intro duced are excellent. The singing of the seminary glrte and the eccentric dancing of Edward Hume, a star halfback, were enthuslasUcally received. Catherine Camp Elsie Van Ness, from the city displayed a beautiful voice to such fine advantage in her numbers as to provoke repeated encores. Louis Merrill as Ad dison Vlbert was so perfect a villain as to get himself thoroughly disliked by the audience, while Sis' real lover, Ridy Scar boro, in the person of Frank MInzey, was 'Just like Abe Lincoln sufficiently to find favor. The play was well presented In every way. Coming, unknown, after such star attracUons as have been at the Tacoma this week. It had a good big audlehce. If it should come again it would pack tho house. Advance Sale for "The Christian." Tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 10 o'clock the advance sale of seats for "The Christian," Hall Calne's powerful drama, will begin at the Marquam Grand Theater where our own Cathrlne Countlss (form erly of the Baker Stock Company) will be seen in the character of "Glory Quayle," supported by an excellent company next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights with a special matinee Saturday. This is tho play which has immortalized the author. Those who have read the story of "The Christian" in book form will find -that the character of John Storm is far more agreeable and likable in the drama than in the novaL In the play the love of Glory Quayle and Storm is the keynote, the result being that Mr. Caine has given to the stage a romantic drama with scenes and characters In modern dress with that most potent of all motives, love. The scene where Storm determines to kill the body of Glory In order to save her soul from the contamination of the world Is generally declared to be tho most intensely Interesting situation conceived for a drama in many years. Arcade's New Bill Today. The new bill at tho Arcade Theater starts today.
