Lost Their Teout Dinner. All the
way from Skagway comes a pitiful story
about a young couple, who were married
In this city something over two years
ago, and soon after went to Alaska to
reside. They have many friends here who
readily recognize them by the names of
"Tom" and "Kate," and will extend sym
pathy to them on account of having been
robbed of a feast of mountain trout, the
last of the season. As the snow has como
and the trout streams about Skagway are
being rapidly closed with Ice, Tom deter
mined to make a desperate effort to se
cure Just one more "'mess" before the
trout went into cold-storage for the "Win
ter. He was successful and after a hard
day's work returned with some 50 as
handsome mountain trout as ever glad
dened the eyes of a sportsman or the
palate of an epicure. They were spread
temptingly on a platter and "Kate" was
displaying them to a friend who came
along to tempt him to stay and share
the luxury of a trout supper, when a
portable incandescent lamp which Tom
was holding over the fish to give him a
better view of them, flew to fragments
with a report like a gun and the tiny
pieces with comers "sharper than a ser
pent's tooth" came down In a shower
over the .trout, .some of the particles
piercing their skins and Imbedding them
selves in the flesh. Of. course the trout
supper was all ofC"and Kate and Tom are
Inclined to try gas for lighting their home.
Euch accidents to incandescent lamps hap
pen occasionally and because of the ac
companying report are usually spoken of
as "explosions," but as the lamp globe Is
empty of air and Nature abhors vacuum,
the glass is crashed Inward by the pres
sure of the atmosphere, and tho accident
Is properly a collapse. It is difficult for
one not a scientist to understand how
such a loud report follows such a "col
lapse" or how, as the pressure comes from
all sides on the globe, the particles of
glass are scattered so far or with so
much force. It may be that trout or
other food sprinkled with such tiny frag
ments of glass can be eaten with safety,
but propably most people will prefer to
have someone else try the experiment
Concerning Good Weather. Most of
those who had begun to imagine that be
cause the weather continued like that of
Summer so long there was going to be no
Winter, abandoned that idea several days
ago when cooler mornings came on. ac
companied by a regular old-fashioned
"shower." and when strawberries no
longer ripened daily and were not to be
seen In the markets. Some, however, still
cling to the Idea that "this little squall"
will blow over and that with a day or two
of sunshine the roses will put forth new
blooms, the Bteen strawberries on the
vines will ripen and everything will be
lpvely. Among the latter is L. Samuel,
who says a white lilac bush in his garden
is putting forth blooms which it usually
defers till May. In the addition to the
City Park on the west, wild blackberries
are ripening. This would not be singular
for the tame or garden blackberry, but
the real wild Oregon blackberry, one of
the most highly flavored and highly prized
of berries, is not usually inclined to be
freakish, and something out of the usual
is going to happen. Astronomers and
astrologists unite in their opinions In re
gard to an unusual Winter, as there Is a
conjunction of the sun, the moon and
the earth and no one knows how many
more planets, which occurs only once In
12 or 15 yeais.
To Relieve Overcrowding of St.
Johns School. Tho St Johns Commercial
Club went on record at its meeting
Wednesday evening as favoring placing
temporary buildings for accommodation
of the overflow at the schoolhouse. and
opposing the erection of a separate build
ing. A resolution to this effect wa3 passed
at the meeting. Chairman John Port rep
. resented the directors, and Principal
Teuscher also was present For Immedi
ate relief Mr. Poff favored the temporary
buildings, as it would be impracticable to
erect an addition while school is in ses
sion. Principal Teuscher explained at
some length the Inconvenience that would
result in having a separate building. At
present It was decided not to urge the
issue of bonds, as the addition cannot be
put up before vacation, and the Commer
cial Club decided to ask the directors to
purchase portable buildings from Portland,
or put them up at an expense not to ex
ceed $1000. Enrollment now reaches 297
pupils, and pupils are coming in con
stantly Preserved Oregon Fruits. The sale of
preserves at the Portland School of Cook
ery, to which attention was drawn in
last Sunday's Oregonlan, commences this
morning at 10 o'clock and continues till 6
P. M. and tomorrow (Saturday) at the
same hours. This Is an attempt to dem
onstrate the marvelous variety and ex
cellence of preserves which can be pro
duced from the wild and cultivated fruits
of the state, and deserves the hearty co
operation of the entire community. Not
only all the old standbys are In evidence,
both singly and in attractive combina
tions, but a number of new ideas have I
been introduced which cannot fail to And
a welcome. Fruitgrowers are specially
invited to attend, as the display Btrongly

Building East Side Approach. Piles
for the new East Side approach to the
first span of the Morrison bridge are be
ing driven. It will be necessary to ex
tend the present approach over 1X) feet to
connect with the first bridge span. There

formerly, as the new bridge is four feet
higher than the old bridge. This work
Indicates the completion of the new bridge
is near at hand.

American O sprat in Museum. A "very
handsome specimen of - the American
ospray or fish hawk has been added to the
exhibit of birds In the Free City Museum,
and it is a specimen of which any mu
seum might be proud. The bird was shot
by John VIcrnan, of this city, who sent
ic to uoionei u. Hawkins, who has had
it mounted in fine style for the Museum.
It is two feet in length, and has a five-foot
spread of wings. The ospray Is akin to
the eagle, and from its white head and
neck. Its size and spread of wing. It is
often mistaken for the bald eagle, it is.
however, a much more .graceful, cleanly
and good-principled bird than the eagle,
as it does not prey on other birds or de
stroy other helpless animals, but lives en
tirely on fish, in the capture of which it
displays such skill as to cause it to be
generally admired. It has no enemies, but
is welcomed and protected everywhere.
The mean and cruel nature of the eagle
Is displayed in the manner in which It
robs the ospray of the fish it has caught
It will sit for hours on some tree near
a stream, watching the ospray as it
hovers 100 to 200' feet above the water
until it has marked Its prey, and then
drops down like a shot plunges beneath
the surface, and fastens its sharp claws
in the back of the fish, and, coming to
the surface, shakes the water from its
wings and rises in the air to fly off to its
nest As soon as It is clear of the water
the robber eagle pounces down on It for
the purpose t robbing It of its captive,
and if the flsh Is a large one often suc
ceeds In tiring the other out and secur
ing the flsh. For this reason many despise
the eagle and do not hesitate to take a
shot at It to protect an ospray being
chased by it
Duck Hunters Declare Boycott.
Some of the duck hunters of this city,
who spend their Sundays shooting down
on the sloughs, . have held an Informal
meeting to consider what they think a
serious grievance. It involves a well
known elderly Portlander. who in the past
has been the recipient of a part of their
spoils. For the sake of old times and for
divers other reasons they have generally
remembered him on Monday mornings
with a pair of ducks, but now when he
wants such game he will have to buy it
A party of sportsmen were together In a
downtown lunch room the other day when
the subject of giving away ducks was
brought up. By comparing notes it was
found that every one of the party had
on the preceding Monday given the old
gentleman a pair. This led to an In
vestigation and the disclosure that he
had received no less than 40 ducks on
that day. Curious to know what he did
with so many birds, the sportsmen probed
into the matter further, when they made
the shocking discovery that he had sold
tho entire lot to a market man and at a
price cheaper than they sold their sur
plus supply. A boycott was immediately
ordered, and It will remain In force per
petually. St. Johns Council Holds Bust Ses
sion. With Mayor Cook presiding, most
of the Councllmen present and a full
house, the St Johns Council wrestled with
the "cow ordinance" at its last meeting.
Representatives from the Ladies' Im
provement League were present urging
passage of the ordinance, but the strong
est pressure was the other way, and the
ordinance was shelved for the present
There was a hot wrangle, the outsiders
doing the most talking. Lawyer Max
O'Neill sent in his bill for $lt for legal
advice alleged to have been given sev
eral months ago In regard to the vaca
tion of streets. The Council had before
decided that it did not owe Mr. O'Neill
anything, and Auditor Clark wan in
structed to again inform him that it did
not consider it owed him $100. Also a bill
for $50 from Judge H. H. Northup for
legal services in defending Marshal C R.

Arthur Dunn, the funniest little man
who ever waddled across a stage, sur
rounded by half a hundred girls wonder
fully dressed for the little time they had
to shake out their dresses, made a one
night stand at the Marquam last evening
in "The Runaways." The good public
saw the name Arthur Dunn, and, taking
the rest on credit, filled the house to the
aisles. There was to have been an after
noon performance, but a miscue threw it
out
The public came till there was not a seat
In the house, and apparently it got what
it wanted, for It was tickled almost to.
death at every move of Dunn or Charles
Dox, and sated itself with looking on the
pretty faces and costumes of the fly-by-night
chorus.
It is impossible to say What it Is all
about There was a horse named The
Runaway, which, like Mrs. Grundy, was
much talked about but did not appear, and
gave Arthur Dunn an opportunity to dress
as a ridiculous jockey, and that was all.
But when he raced the stage was a grand
stand which, by watching, showed in tho
faces of the crowd how the race was
going.
The play was full of pretty scenic ef
fects like this: First, an Impossible Sara
toga, and later on the Isle of Tabid
d'Hote. These served as the usual back
ground for the usual things dono on the
musical comedy stage. But the things
that were done were themselves new and
good to laugh at Dunn is really himself
the whole show when on the stage, but ho
has a good second In Clarence Harvejv
who plays a comic part which has even
better opportunities than "Blutch" fur-
nisnes to iunn.
There are a dozen good songs through
the show, one well known, "A Kiss for
Each Day in tho Week." sung by Dunn
himself, running through, the music of the
play. "The Man With the Dough," sung
by Harvey, is scarcely less catchy. "The
Maiden and the Jay" and "If I Should"
are the two best of the remainder. W. E.
Meehan. taking the part of a bookmaker.
sings the leading parts in both these
songs. Of the rest of the company the
Althea sisters deserve mention for doing
a tumbling trick or two that have never
been seen on the 10-cent vaudeville stage.
MORE DAMAGE SUITS.
Chinese Are Still After the Sheriff of
Multnomah County.
It is asserted in reliable quarters that
at least five more damage suits will be
brought by . various Chinamen against
Sheriff Tom Word, at no later date than
this afternoon.
The Chinese merchants who were the
victims of the Sheriffs latest raids feel
that they have a grievance against him
which can only be satisfied by an award
of damages through the courts, and they
are determined that since he did the
dancing he must pay the fiddler.
It is rumored also that the Chinese are
going into past history in their desire to
avenge what they consider their mistreat
ment It is alleged that some two months
ago the Sheriff's office applied for a
search-warrant covering the premises sit
uated at 12St4 Second street and received
such a warrant In their zeal, however, it
is claimed the officers entered the premises
at 123 Second street and arrested and con
fined two entirely Innocent Chinamen,
Kara Tuen and Hog Fung.
It is alleged that after confining these
Chinamen In the County Jail for a day
and a half they were released, without
any complaint having been filed against
them.
For this wrongful imprisonment It is
said the Chinamen will bring a damage
suit against the Sheriff.

THROW BABIES DOWN STAIRS
And They Will Then Leanf to Remain
Away From Them.
The regular "weekly meeting of the Home
Training Association was held In the
Young Women's Christian Association
reading-rooms yesterday afternoon and
despite the bad weather was well at
tended, a number of the mothers bringing
their children, who enjoyed the after
noon in the nursery. The president an
nounced that there would be no meeting
next week, as the regular day fall3 on
Thanksgiving, but on the Thursday fol
lowing It Is hoped to begin a series of
talks by women physicians on "What to
Do In Cases of Emergency." It Is con
sidered that all mothers should be post
ed, in simple remedies for childish Ills
and accidents; to know Just what is best
to do for a scratch, a burn, a cut or a
bruise.
The address of yesterday's meeting was
given by Mrs. R. 1 Donald, who re
viewed a book entitled, "A Year With
Mother Play." She brought out the
thought that a systematic training should
underlie all games of early Infancy, and
that the mother should take an active
Interest in the play of their little ones,
making each game a lesson unsuspected
by the child. "The value of play as a
medium for teaching is not realized by
mothers." she said, and dwelt upon the
emptiness of a purposeless motherhood.
How to punish children was made an in
teresting part of- the address, and the
book advocated the Idea of teaching the
child that the deed was bad and not the
doing of it The custom of giving chil
dren money for doing right was frowned
down, and mary simple games for small
babies were mentioned as useful In teach
ing them first lessons.
"Many children have to be taught by
demonstration," Mrs. Donald continued.
"For Instance. If a child will not learn to
keep away from the stairway, take- it to
a short flight of steps and let it fall down
them; then it will learn quick enough that
there is danger and will stay away. I
know this Is expedient, for I have tried
it myself."

GOOD PIANOS FOB GOOD HONEY
I don't mean by this that I charge more
for a good piano than other dealers; "on
the contrary, I am well satisfied with half
the profit others make, but I do not wish
to convey the Idea that you will get some
thing for nothing, or that you could buy
for cost or below cost. Such a thing
docs not exist in the business world.
