A Cat "Which Did Not Comb Back. A
tnan who has for some time been suffering
from nervousness and mental depression,
whoso sight is badly affected and -whose
troubles have been much aggravated by
the smoky -atmosphere, a short tlmo ago
leased and occupied an empty building on
the city front. He has been much an
noyed by a miserable cat belonging to the
former occupant, which remained behind,
a habit of the feline race whose affections
cling more closely to localities than their
owners. Morning and evening this miser
able creature haunted the door of the
place, reduced to a mere skeleton by star
vation, and Its Incessant mewings and
caterwaullngs drove the occupant to tho
verge of distraction. Finally with the as
sistance of a friend the animal wa3 caught
and placed In a coffee sack, a heavy stone
was put in beside it, the mouth of the
sack firmly tied and the whole then
dropped off aVharf and sunk, a thousand
fathoms or less. The assassin went home
happy, thinking that the cat was a-goner
and that his troubles as far as it was
concerned, at least, were at an end. On
going down to open the place next morn
ing he saw in the usual place his old,
dingy terror. He staggered back in horror,
exclaiming: "Has my mind utterly failed
me? Do my eyes deceive me, or has that
accursed cat really come back?" And if
a passing friend had not caught him he
would have fallen to the pavement. On
recovering his wits, explanation and inves
tigation followed and it was found that
what he took for the cat was only a par
cel which had been left by the door
wrapped in a piece of dingy, gray canvas,
and his peace of mind was restored but he
has not yet entirely recovered from the
shock, and in his dreams he still sees
that cat and hears its piteous mlaulings.

Mat Sprinkle Lawk Witu Giant. The
owner of a fine residence which is sur
rounded by a lawn, flower-beds, etc.,
which occupy an entire block, was seen
yesterday looking critically at a "giant,"
or huge nozzle, such as Is used in hy
draulic mining. It throws a two and one-
half-Ineh stream of water with ereat ve
locity, which, of course, depends upon the
pressure. A friend, passing, asked him if
he contemplated Investing In a hydraulic
mine. He replied that he had no such
intention, but was thinking that a nozzle
like this under proper pressure would be
a good thing for sprinkling or irrigating
his lawn. Four gaVden-hose with spray
sprinklers were kept busy on it as many
hours as possible and still the grass was
beginning to look brown and the ground
was as dry and as hard as a rock. The
idea was a bold as well as novel one and,
if carried into effect, the results will be
of Interest to all who have lawns to
sprinkle.
Police After the "Wheelmen. With a
zeal which pauses not In the face of dan
ger the Police Department continues to
fearlessly pursue the bloody outlaw who
rides his wheel on the sidewalk. He s
taken to the Police Station, appears next
day in the Municipal Court and pays a
fine of $l: .Last night at 6:30 o'clock as
one-half of the world were going from
labor to supper, Officer Hill swooped down
upon Harry C. Holmes at the corner of
Twentieth and Johnson streets and ef
fected a capture. Holmes was riding his
wheel on a sidewalk. He Is 18 years of
age and explained that he was going
home from work. Instead he went to the
station and placed $5 In the hands of Cap
tain Moore for bail before he continued
his Journey.
Arrested For Theft. Harry Jones, re
cently released from the County Jail, was
arrested by Detective Kerrigan yester
day afternoon for the theft of a knife
and some clothing. The man admitted
having stolen the" things, but refused to
say where they came from. The knife
bore the name. "J. H. Andrews," and
was adorned with three mlnature photo
graphs and a Masonlo emblem. It Is
thought Jones got into a room occupied
by some visitor to the city, as the .name
on the knife handle does not appear, in the
directory or telephone book.

Local Optionibt Has a Readt Excuse.
The mind of man Is constantly seeking
out new inventions and Inventing new
uses for Intoxicating beverages, urged on
by the hosts of Local Optionlsts and
Prohls. A highly-respected and respon
sible business man. member of a. large
mercantile house In this city, who has al
ways been considered a Local Optlonist,
with a tendency toward Prohibition, and
wno by the merest chance was not one of
the candidates on the late temperance
ticket, was seen In a liquor dealer's place
yesterday selecting an armful of bottles
of assorted whiskies, eta, from the
shelves. "When asked the meaning of this
he explained that he was -one of a party
preparing tp. start on a hunting trip after
elk in the Olympic Mountains. He said
there were still many elk on the Olym
pian range, but they were becoming civ
ilized, or accustomed to the ways of
hunters, and the only way in which they
can be shot is by making them arumt
first, and it was for this purpose: that the
stock of liquors was being laid in. "When
it was sueirested that the hunters might
by accident get full before the lk did he
said that this emergency haa oeen pro
vided for, as a powerful man, an Iron
handler named Dempsey, said to be a dis
tant relative of the Immortal Nonpareil,
was one of the party, and should they not
be able to shoot straight enough to kill an
elk. Dempsey would knock it down with
his sledgehammer fist. The return of this
party and the Teport of their experience
in killing elk first with whisky and then
with lead will be anxiously awaited oy
many.
Not as Smokt as in Foriieb. Years.
Naturally every one complains of the un
pleasantness of tho smoke-laden atmos
phere and the dust caused by the long
absence of rain and the Bmoke also causes
much suffering to those who have weak
eyes. All day long on every .earner on
hears such remarks as: "Isn t this terri
ble? I have seen smoky seasons before,
but this, I think. Is the very worst I havo
ever seen. "Why, you cannot see across
tho river; can't even see the hills back
of town," and all such remarks. It must
be that the majority of people are prone
to forget trouble, for an old-time citizen
said yesterday ih reply to the remarks
quoted: "Oh, pshaw! The smoke Is noth
ing to that compared to that we had to
put up with In the Summer of '83. nor is
the season In any way so disagreeable
as that was. I think if you will look
back only two years you will recall a
worse condition of affairs than exists at
present. Not only was It hot and smoky,
but ashes and cinders of leaves from the
burning forests were showering down on
the city day and night, and everything
was begrimed and smooched and every
orfe's hands and face were stained with
the soot and ashes. The present smoky
spell will have to last some time longer
before It becomes as disagreeable as what
we have suffered several times before."
Several who heard, these remarks' agreed
with the speaker. It is probably best to
treat present conditions as lightly ts
possible and wait trustingly for tho rains
which will end them and which have
never yet failed to come In time.
Fought Russians Fiftt Tears Ago.
"Wallace Graham, an elderly man of
Scotch birth, for many years a. resident of
British Columbia, has been spending a
short vacation In Portland visiting an old
friend. He left for home on Monday In
order to keep an engagement to attend
a celebration yesterday of the 49th anni
versary of tho capture of Sebastopol
by the allied British and French armies
after a selge of 11 months. Mr. Graham
was present and saw the Russian flag
hauled down. He was a boy of 12 at that
time, and his father was an officer in
the British army, and ho had gone out
with his mother to spend the Winter
with him, and a gay old "Winter it was
for the boy. He has been watching the
dienatches in The Oregonian carefully.
expecting to learn of the capture of Port,,
Arthur without a long seige, ror tne japs
have better guns and better powder than
were made 50 years ago. He says he has
heard his father tell over tho history of
the seige of Sebastopol many times. The
Russians sank their fleet at the entrance
of Sabastopol harbor. The town of Se
bastopol was well built and beautified
with gardens and contained 45,000 inhabi
tants when the allies beseiged it, and
when they were through there were only
about a dozen buildings In the city which
were not badly injured and the town has
never amounted to much since. If one
could only have been present at the cele
bration which Mr. Graham went to at
tend yesterday he would doubtless have
heard some great tales of fighting Rus
sians. Has This Hollt Tree the Scale?
There is a handsome holly tree in the
Postoffice grounds near the southeast cor
ner of the building which has taken many
years to attain Its present size, as the
holly Is of slow growth; In fact, there are
very few. If any, larger holly trees In the
city, and It Is one of the principal orna
ments of the grounds. "William Gregory
calls attention to the fact that this
tree is, as he thinks, literally covered
with "scale," the San Jose scale, or some
kindred pest, and he says the attention of
the Department should be called to the
matter and the tree sprayed to cleanse It
of the pest. Examination by several, not
experts, shows that the foliage is covered
with dust and grime, but that it is not
infested to any extent with scale. The
tree will look much better after the first
rain and perhaps come out all right. If
it does not it Is in a hard case, for it will
probably take the Postoffice Department
some time to organize a spraying depart
ment to attend to this tree. It might be
better if the person in charge of the
grounds would consult some expert horti
culturist In regard to the matter.
Offers Site Fob a Hotel. Early yes
terday morning a wide-awake real estate
agent called at The Oregonian office to
Inquire the name and address of the capi
talist mentioned In the morning paper
who was preparing to build a large hotel
in this olty. The employe he ran across
was not able to furnish the desired In
formation, but remarked: "I suppose you
would like to sell him a site for the ho
tel?" "That is exactly what I want to
do," was the reply. "Well, If you can give
an idea of the property you have for sale,
size, location, price, etc., perhaps I can
And some way to call the attention of
the intending purchaser to it." said the
employe. "The land I have for sale Is
half a block in the center of town, finely
located, and within four blocks of the
Portland Hotel, and the price Js very
reasonable say $20,000 a lot." Of course
it is not possible to give the name of the
agent, as this would be advertising him
but any one wishing to buy tho property
can obtain his address at The Oregonian
office.
Onlt the Good die Young. Two old
citizens and old-time friends, who have
been separated for years, met yesterday
In the entrance to the Oregonian building,
Mutual greetings and congratulations
were exchanged and one remarked: "Well.
we are both on earth yet, but both grow
ing old daily. "Yes," said the other.
"but I have many times envied those who
died young before they realized the trials
of life which "we uns' have had to en
dure." "Ah!" said the other, "only the
good die young, and I have about con
cluded that all of them do." Several per
sons waiting for an elevator smiled audi
bly at this new Idea, and one remarked
"It Is not very complimentary to us, but
I suppose we will have to stand our share
of it."

John Sobieski, who Is fittingly described

A Brilliant Society Play.
"When "Lord Rnd Lady Algy" has
passed into theatrical history, when all Is
said and written of this famous PInero
play, the silent eloquence of Georgo
Bloomquest as Jockey Mawley will stand
out in memory.
This clever young actor ha3 come Into
his own at the Columbia Theater this
week. He has only a half dozen or more
lines to his part, but every moment that
he is on the stage he Is the cynosure
of all eyes. He Is "Lord Algy's" faithful
Jockey. In the first act he hovers about
the sideboard.
"I'm thirsty," he eayB in a low voice,
and he has tho audience under his spell
from that time on. In the ballroom scene
Mawley has no speaking part-. He is es
corted to the ball by the watchful yet be
fuddled "Lord Algy," and the comedy
of the situation Is heightened by Maw
lay's dignified silence, while masquerading
in the uncomfortable garb of "The Young
Pretender." In the closing scene Bloom
qoest scores another hit, when he refuses
to accept from the meager purse of Lord
Algy pay for riding his horse to defeat.
This scene is one of the best in the play.
"Lord and Lady Algy" is a true and
enticing picturo of high-class English so
ciety life. The deft-handed PInero has
filled It with heart interest The incom
parable Columbia Company acts It with
art. The women wear their beautiful
gowns as those to tho manner born, and
the men make a bright picture In their
brave attire. Every member of the com
pany is excellent.
The principal role in this play falls to
tho leading man, Mr. Baume, while Miss
Countiss as "Lady Algy" has a delightful
part around which clusters the heart In
terest, a very engaging element.
Mr. Berrell as the Duke of Dronebor
ough Is a sterling actor of the old school,
and he Is every Inch the character.
The electricity in the face oi Donald
Bowles is his fortune. And the best of
It is that hia popularity is founded on
merit. Miss Brandt is a dainty Ingenue,
while Miss Barhyte as Mrs. Tudway, tho
society woman, whose sentimentality al
most leads her astray, acts her part with
distinction. Every appearance of Miss
Eytinge is noted by the watchful audi
ences, and her every line Is received with
marked attention. Roy Bernard makes
a character role.
Tho play abounds In excellent charac
ter parts, and Mr. Bernard and Mr. Dills
contoribute much to the merriment of the
audiences. Mr. Seatoa. has a humorous
part as Swepson the valet, which is one
of the best bits of acting in the play.
For a clean-cut picture of society life,
"Lord and Lady Algy," abounding in
keen wit and epigram, Is one of the
brightest and merriest of comedies.
Impressed by "Glsmonda."
There are only three more performances
of "Gismonda" at the Baker Theater this
week, and those who have not seen Mel
bourne Macdowell as Almero, Sardou's
masterpiece, will regret It as long as they
live if they miss this opportunity. Busi
ness h?g increased each night this week,
which is evidence that "Glsmonda" has
made a great impression on the theater
goers of this city. Indications point to
the usual crowded Baker matinee tomor-
TOW.
"Brave Michael Strogoff."
"Michael Strogoff" Is tho knightliest
figure on tho dramatic stage. The man
who, faithful unto death, served his
Czar as no one before had ever done
and saved Russia so that she could
fight the present war with Japan. The
finest play for the money ever seen
here. Matinee tomorrow and final per
formance of "Strogoff" tomorrow
night.
"On the Bridge at Midnight.''
Pnntinnlnp' to nlav to larsre audl-
ences, "On the Bridge at Midnight"
at Cordray's, this week, it can bo
truthfully said, has made a aecidea
hit. The sale for Saturday matinee is
very large.
"A TEXAS STEER'' TONIGHT.
Hoyt's Famous Comedy Begins an En
gagmement of Three Nights.
Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater
Hoyt's most successful comedy, "A Texas
Steer," will begin an engagement or two
nights, with a bargain price matinee Sat
urday at 2:15 o'clock. The types of char
acter portrayed are clearly drawn, and
It is said they are admirably developed
by this season's company, which is an
unusually strong one. Among them are
"Will K. Bray, the original Minister to
Dahomey; Harry B. Emery, as "Maver
ick Brander"; May Stockton, soubrette
and ingenue, who has been a feature with
several metropolitan attractions as
"Bossy," and the famous Texas. Steer
Quartet and others. Tho situations are
led uo to with scrupulous care, and no
opportunity is lost to raise a laugh. Seats
are now selling for the three penorm-
Husecieaning at the Marquam.
Housecleanlng season at the Marquam
Theater has made that place of amuse
ment as clean as the proverbial new pin.
All the carpets in the foyer and lobbies
have been thoroughly cleaned and other
wise renovated through compressed air
and suction without a single carpet being
lifted. Painters have been busy touching
Interior effects, and the scenery, stage and
electric lighting have been overhauled.
Think of the feet of famous actresses of
world-wide reputation who have pressed
the boards of the old runway on seeking
a near cut homo from the rear of the
theater. Those familiar boards will, how
ever, know the theater no more, for a new
runway has been Installed. Everything
at the Marquam Is in readiness for the
start or business.
"Under Two Flags.'
Commencing with Sunday's matinee, the
Columbia Theater Stock Company will
produce "Under Two Flags," a dramati
zation of Oulda's famous novel of the
same name. This thrilling drama will
'be given the most complete production
ever seen in Portland. The famous ride
of Cigarette will be done by Miss Coun
tiss with all the grace and daring of this
popular actress, and the sand-storm scene
will be presented with the most striking
realism. The Columbia Theater Company
will aDDear in Its full strength In the
Blanche Bates' version of the play, which
only such an able company as the Colum
bla could hone to equal. The sale is now
on at Rowe & Martin's, Sixth and Wash
lngton, and at the theater after 7 P. M.
"Fedora'' at Popular Prices.
The theatrical season Is now on In all
Its glory, and the patrons of the various
playhouses are looking for good amuse
ment. That none better can be found In
this city than at the Baker Theater every
one will agree when they know that Mel
bourne Macdowell will present Sardou's
modern society play, "Fedora," all next
week, starting with the usual Sunday
matinee. Never In the history of Port
land has this great drama been presented
at the popular prices charged at this pop
ular theater.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin."
The greatest of them all. The one play
of which the public never tires. The play
our fathers and mothers delighted in 40
years ago. The play we all love. At the
last moment Manager "Weldemann decided
to change the bill at the Empire next
week from "At the Old LIme-Klln" to
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," because he discov
ered that it would be possible to secure
the rights to the William A. Brady ver
sion, the finest production of the Ameri
can classic ever made. The production
to be given next week, commencing Sun-
JLdur ynntlwnn. Uv tHa TValdaoxarui StAolc
Company will be Identically the same as
the Brady revival. Remember, the Sun
day matinee of "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Next Week at Cordray's.
Merit wins, and this seems to be the
main reason why "Sidetracked," which
will be presented at the Cordray's next
week, has outlived all the so-called
railroad dramas. The excellent comedy
throughout the play is now too well
known to need comment, the climaxes
are all strong, and the. dramatic situa
tions have been toned up to date. The
humorous tramp character remains the
central figure "and elicits roars of
laughter many times throughout the
evening. The specialties are all new
tljis season.
