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

:iTY NEWS IN BRIEF
SnTUL "Wats to Spend Sunday. 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.

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.

"Welcome home."
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.

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.

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.

cially in the sewing room,

needed, will this be appre
ciated from the fact that it
requires no fire and no run

DOES YOUR SCALP ITCH?
Are Your Hulrt Dropping: One by
Oner
If your scalp Itches you are doubtless
suffering from dandruff. The dandruff
germ is digging up your scalp in little
flakes, called dandruff, and sapping tho
life of the hair bulb. No hair preparation
that 'Is a mere hair stimulant and tonic
will cure dandruff, because It won't kill
the germ that causes the trouble. New
bro's Herplclde is the latest scientific
discovery, and It will kill the dandruff
germ. Destroy the cause and you remove
the effect; kill the germ and you will
have no more dandruff, falling hair or
baldness. Sold by leading druggists.

Herplclde Co., Detroit, 3Ilch.
