4 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TCESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1904. 20 Tales of the Street and Town PERHAPS this solves a mystery of the Philippines. During one of the lunch-hour Intermissions at the court-martial of Major Harry L. Rocs at Vancouver last week, a group of officers and civilians -were chatting at the Offi cers' Club. Most of the military men had served in the Philippines. The conversa tion turned upon the subject of the drinks of the tropics. "The vino of the Philippines is the deadliest beverage ever concocted for the use of mankind." remarked Colonel X. "What's vino?" asked a Portland law yer. "It's the National drink of the Fili pinos. It's made from the fermentation of rice and the" ref use of the sugar mills. A little of it brings a drunk that a man cannot get over for days, or weeks. Often one lever gets over it. "A, certain quan tity of whisky may make a soldier Just pleasantly tight; the same quantity of vino, if It did not The After Effect of make him perfectly "Vino." Insane, would leave after-effects that are terrible. I would be afraid to estimate the number of sui cides that have been directly traceable to vino." Said Major Y: "The natives drink it in thimblefuls. not more than one or two drinks a day. Our men swallowed It like whisky, or even beer. It seems to upset the whole physical, mental and moral fiber of a man. I believe that the thoughtless use of it accounts for the downfall of more than one man, who served honorably for a time, but after wardssometimes even after returning to the States went all to pieces in every way. The average soldier, officer or pri vate, will drink to a certain extent, If he can get the drink. Perhaps the army canteen Is not such a dangerous institu tion In a locality where. If he can't get good beer or other white-man's drinks, the soldier can easily buy vino." NICK HAMMERSTBIN, the hand some hackman, cats 'em alive. That Is, newspaper men. who write stories about hot cakes and maple syrup, stormy nights and uniforms. But here's one on Kick that will surely bring about a homicide, or at least an assault and battery case. One night (another stormy one) Nick igot a "fare" for the 11:40 train to the Sound. It was close to train time, and Kick drove rapidly through the storm of wind and rain. At the station the fare alighted and fished up from his trou sers' pocket a handful of gold. Suddenly a coin fell from the lot, and, striking the sidewalk, bounded and rolled into tho gutter. "There!" exclaimed the man, "J haven't time to hunt for that five. Give me a couple of dollars' change, and you find it and keep the rest for your self." "Only got a dollar change," said Nick, shrewdly. "All right; that's good 'nough." The man pocketed the dollar and hurried to the train. -A feu minutes later a brother hackman observed Kick, coat oft and sleeves rolled up, The ct $5. raking around In pouring rain. the gutter, in the "What you lost, Nick?" "Fiver." Next moment Nick straightened up with a coin in his fingers. I glittered like gold, but it wasn't It was a penny. Nick began to speak. Expurgated, his speech was as follows: "Robbers and pi rates! Snakes and snappln' turtles! That's what I get for belle1n' the rela tive of a Mexican hairless canine. His home is in a kennel; he howls when he's hungry and he laps mudpuddles when In the .City's Trouble Shop A Domestic Farce TOich Turned Out to Be a Tragedy - BY JOHN DOB. THIS is the true story of the man who was grossly Inconsiderate of his wife. It is not a certainty he has any wife, now. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. HIghtower, late of St- Louis, were en route to a lit tle spread at an uptown restaurant when Mr. HIghtower observed that he needed an appetizer. He was not feel ing tiptop and was sure a stimulant was needed-to put Jilm in better humor. Mrs. Thomas HIghtower demurred to being loft on the street alone while Mr. HIghtower entered a liquor dis pensary and only consented tinder pro test after he had promised to remain In the place less than twc-mlnutes. She took up a po sition at the cor ner of' Sixth and Stark streets and waited. It happened that Mrs. II i g-h t o we r was hungry and It seemed that ' Mr. HIghtower was i thirstier than he ' knew. The result was that two min utes three min utes ten minutes half an hour passed - and Mrs. HIghtower stood alone at the corner of Sixth and Stark streets nursing a constantly growing appetite and rising anger. She had just reached the sobbing stage when a nice-looking young fellow stepped up and tipped his hat. "Mrs. HIghtower. as I live," he ex claimed! "I'm ju&t going to dinner. Join m.e; what are you standing here for. anyway?" Mrs. HIghtower looked up to recog nize an old St. Louis friend. After a moment's resitation she accepted the pro'lfered arm and went with him to dinner. Just to" get even with that me'hn, horrid, old husband, whose voice she had heard once or. twice during the past 30 minutes, rising in jubilant laughter from behind the curtained doors across the way. Mrs. Thomas D. HIghtower returned to "her husband's suite in the Oxford House some two hours later to find her husband absorbed in a magazine. He did not seem to notice her entrance at all and there was a painful silence of five minutes' duration, until Mr. HIgh tower. having finished his story, laid it aside with dramatic calmness. "I say." he Tcmarked, tranquilly, alter a while, "that was a nice-looking chap you danced away with Just as I was crossing the street to take you to dinner." "He's as nice, too, as he Is nice look ing." snapped Mrs. HIghtower, "for he didn't ask me to wait on the corner while he went in some horrid place to get a drink." "Ah, vlllianous woman, I shall leave . you forever," thundered HIghtower; he's dry. If I ever catch him without a license-tag on I'll feed him. inch by inch, to a dull sausage-machine!" y OU can always get a hard-luck T story out of a mining man," said Ed Wright, "but I heard one over at Olympla the othcre day that shuts out 'most anything of the kind I ever listened to. "Calvert, he's a newspaper writer over there and three or four friends of his have been putting up money for several years past for the development of a hole in the ground. The 'rock neyer got any better, and the little syndicate began to grow tired of putting out one hard-earned dollar after another. So, as last, they notified the man In charge to stop work, sell off the second-hand tools and the sack or two of beans left at the shack, take down the location notices and quit the claim. The hired man complied promptly and the syndicate .breathed joy fully in the thought of getting a spare dollar or two for cakes and ale, now and then. "Next day they .were all bowled over by being served with papers in a damage suit. A rancher's cow had fallen down the shaft and the rancher demanded $100 and costs!" VjGOT one for you," said Jack Manz. I "Tou think you can writo English, but I bet you thl'H stick you." "Fire away!" "If Moses was the son of Pharaoh's t daughter, then he was tho daughter of Pharaoh's son." "Bosh! That would make him Phara oh's granddaughter." "No, Bosh wouldn't make him any body's granddaughter. Give it up?" "Yes, what's the string?" "They ain't no string it's just as I said: 'Moses was the Daughter-of-Pha- raoh's son, see? Daughter-of-Pha- raoh's son. Pharaoh's daughter was the daughter of Pharaoh, wasn't she? Sec?" Jack will recover. THERE is a goodlooklng butcher at f Woodlawn. He is also 'a, good hearted, farmer sort of chap, who takes a warm interest In other people as well as in himself. When Mrs. Jones, or old Mr. Smith, comes In for a chop or a steak, and happens to mention the rheumatism, or a lame horse, or some thing like that, the butcher will pause In the cutting, no matter how many other customers are on hand, and say: "Well, now, that's too bad! I'll tell you what you want to do: You take a pint o' vinegar and a quart o salt and equal parts of wa ter, and let 'em come to a boll," etc., etc He got on the car the other night, and, seeing a young lady whom he knew sitting in the cor ner, he crossed over and sat sideways, facing her. "How-de-do, Miss Brown," said he, "How's your moth er?" The Good - Naturcd The car started Butcher, and the noise drowned the further con versation to the ears of the other pas sengers. When the conductor came along the butcher said -he "wanted off" at Cook avenue. "After a time the car slowed up and the converesatlon became audible again. "That so?" the butcher was saying, "well, poor old lady, she's had a hard time, but" "Cook avenue!" "I tell you them children are 'nough to drive most anyone wild" "Cook avenue!" "Still you can't blame 'em much, the old lady's been sick so long and" "COOK AVENUE!" "Then the old man died when the old est one wan't but 7" "Hey there! Don't you want Cook avenue?" "Oh! Me? Sure. 'Souse me. Miss Brown, I'll see you again." And tho other passengers wore smiles all the way across bridge. LUTE PEASE. striding across the room, seizing her purse and Jacket and leaving the place in a burst of anger. HIghtower probably d i d n't realize- just how near true he had spoken, for while Mrs. H I g h t o we r followed him with tears it -was her purse that was her chief concern, and her pleas for her money reaching the ears of a passing In the very act of slapping his wife. f I When the case was brought to the4 , attention of Judge Hogue, in the Trouble Shop, yesterday morning, HIghtower Insisted he had not intended deserting hl3 wife, having merely in tended to frighten her. "Frighten her!" echoed Judge Hgue, In amazement. "You frighten a woman by threat ening to leave her! If I'm any judge of human nature the woman would have been tickled to death if you had really left her. A man who would leave a woman standing on the corner for halt an nour waiting for her dinner while he was carousing in a saloon doesn't deserve tc have her. "You will do a 90-day turn in the City Jail and I'll try to get the rock pile re-established for the especial benefit of you- and a few more of your kind," concluded His Honor. "Which means that. Mr. Thomas High tower will languish in a stuffy cell for a oeriod of three days for each min ute he kept his wife waiting on the corner. Old-Time Actors' Salaries Startling Advascen Have Been Made la tke Matter of Pay Dur ing Sixty Yearn. A WRITER, In 1640, commenting on the state of the drama, asserts that the first blow to the "destruc tion of the great theaters "has been tbe extraordinary increase in the demands of all kinds of actors"; and to Ulustrato the injustice of the salaries then given, gives the following statistics of the sal aries paid to actors of a preceding gen eration: "Munden, Fawcett, Quick, Ed win, Jack Johnstone, and their clas3. received 14 a week; "William Lewis, a superb comedian, 20 a week; Matthews In 1S12 wrote, "Now to my offer, which I think stupendous and magnificent. 17 a week;" Miss O'Neill, after achieving a good provincial reputation, received 15 at Covent Garden, and never more than 23; Cooke was paid 20 a week, Mrs. Jordan, 31 10s a week; Dowton. 12 "and never more than 20 a week; Miss Steph ens, 20 a week. All these actors were ill first rate. But. looking down the list. we find Macready. la 1S39. receiving 23 a night; Power (1840), 120 a week; Far- ren, at the same period, 40 a week; Lis- ton, who began at li a week, ended by receiving 20 a night; and Miss Ellen Tree, "certainly a pretty and popular actress, was engaged by the Drury Lane manager, when lessee of both theaters, to play at both for 15 a week. She then went to Amorica, returned after two seasons and even after this rustica tion she comes, demands and even actu ally obtains 25 a night." The same writer says that were it not for these heavy demands upon the treasury of the management, the dramatic author would receive larger Bums for his plays; and Instances the money paid to authors In the days of Kcmble and Suett by quoting Coleman, who received 1000 for "John Bull"; Morton. li"7) for "Town and Coun try"; Mrs. Ichbaid, 00 for "Wives as They "Were"; and Reynolds, for two works in one season ("The Blind Bar gain" and "Out of Place"), 1000. Of course the prophet of 1S40 was al together in the wrong. Perhaps he viewed the matter from a managerial stand point; certainly his wail must have been inspired, for theaters have gone on multi plying and salaries of actors have gone on Increasing. Among the American act ors who are receiving today more than twice as much as any of the actors mentioned above are: Nat C. Goodwin. W. H. Crane, Wilton Lack aye, Kyrle Bellew, DeWolf Hopper. Grace George, Maud Adams. Lillian Russell, Fay Templeton, John Drew. E. H. Soth crn, Eleanor Robson. Ethel Barrymoro, Willie Collier. Anna Held. Marie Cahlll. Henry Clay Barnabee. Cecilia Loftus. Lu lu Glaser, Joseph Weber, Lew Fields, Frank Daniels and perhaps a dozen oth- pers. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. Success at the Columbia Theater. There seems to be a new air of great prosperity at the Columbia Theater at tested by audiences at every performance that fill tho theater. Everybody goes away delighted with that excellent farce comedy, "Mistakes Will Happen." which Is running this week. There are few people in this world who do not enjoy an honest, hearty laugh, and it is true that "Mistakes Will Hap pen" is filled from start to finish with situations, dialogue and stage business that is vastly mirth-provoking. No mat ter what your troubles may be, no mat ter what may be worrying you, no matter what cares you may nave, no mat ter how comfortably you may have dined If you pay a visit to the Columbia this week and witness this extremely enter taining play, you will be glad you went. The theater itself is. of course, as beautiful and comfortable as ever, and the fact now that the stock company Is thor oughly understood to be a permanent or ganization seems to have put all the com pany on their mettle, and Increased the general high tide of prosperity and suc cess' that Is prevalent at tho Columbia. Nothing succeeds like success, and the spirit Is In the air. Every member of the cast has a good chance to display ability, and th'ey are making their utmost efforts. The famous knothole scene in the second act is greeted with round after round of applause, and all the many laughable in cidents are thoroughly appreciated. This week of sprightly and delicious merri ment at the Columbia will evidently be a memorable high-water mark In the ad mirable career of the Columbia Stock Company in Portland. Last Performance Tonight. The last performance of Rose Melville in her famous play, "Sis Hopkins," will be given tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater. This comedy is one with a plot and given by a most capable company, making a delightful evening's entertain ment. Do not miss It. "Darkest Russia." The Empire Theater, which opened last Sunday to two crowded houses, is doing its share of business this week, where "Darkest Russia" is being presented by an excellent company. If the honest efforts of a liberal man agement can add to the potency of a theatrical offering, one which has for many seasons found a ready and willing response to its conservative appeals, on the grounds of genuine dramatic Intensity, the present exceedingly pompous revival of "Darkest Bussla" Is bound to make an honorable Impression wherever a play of absolute worth skillfully arranged for the Introduction of consistent humor Is needed to serve genuine entertainment purposes. Such a revival. In view of the mutterings over the possible outcome of the Russian-Japan war. should give "Darkest Russia," with its elaborate pro duction and exceptionally strong cast, enviable prominence this season. There will be a regular matinee Saturday. COMING ATTRACTIONS. "Pretty Peggy" Tomorrow. Considerable interest attaches to the en gagement of Jane Corcoran In "Pretty Pegg'.,r at the Marquam Grand Theater tomorrow and Thursday nights, December 7 and 8, for the reason that It will not only be the first opportunity of local amusement-seekers to see this splendid play that created such a furore in New York and the Eastern cities, but will be the first appearance in this city, as a star, of an actress who has long been a favorite. The complete production used during the metropolitan engagement Is said to be carried on the present tour, and the company Is one of exceptional size and strength. Andrew Robeon, who was last seen here as a star at the bead of his own company In "Richard Carvel," is Miss Corcoran's leading man, and this fact further Increases the Interest In the coming of "Pretty Peggy." for Mr. Robson also has a large following of admirers. "Everyman" Advance Sale. The Interest aroused by the announce ment that "Everyman" Is to be seen here at the Marquam Grand Theater next Friday afternoon, Saturday afternoon and Sturday night. December 9 and 10, is quite remarkable. Educators, ministers of all denominations, scholars and the "great play-going public generally, all are showing great enthusiasm over the an nouncement that Mr. Greet Is to bring his talented company here. It Is an nounced that Constance Crawley, who has aroused so much attention In San Fran cisco, will appear as "Everyman" here. The balance of the company Includes Ag nes Scott. Daisy Robinson. John Sayer Crawley. Eric Blind. Maurice Robinson. Samuel H. Goodwyn. Eugene Cleves. Helena Head. Sybil Thorndyke, Leonard Shepherd. Perclval Aylmyr. Sydney Grcenstreet and Frank Darch. The ad vance sale of seats will open tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Students' tickets may be had on application at the box office. Florence Roberts Coming. Florence Roberts will return to the Marquam Grand for a week beginning Monday night, during which she will pre sent the most brilliant repertoire she has ever arranged for Portland, embracing comedy, romantic, tragic and psychologic drama. The plays will be "Zaza," "Tess of the D'UrbcrvIlles," "The Adventure of Lady Ursula," "Marta of the Low lands," and the remarkable Ibsen drama, "A Doll's House." Melbourne MacDow ell will be Miss Roberts' leading support next week. "The Prodigal Daughter." The Colufnbla Stock Company has for the past week had In active preparation an elaborate production of the great Eastern success, "The Prodigal Daughter." OUR HOLIDAY SPECIAL SALE IS WORTH VISITING. BACK FROM ST. LOUIS FAIR COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS TELLS OF HIS TRIP. Says Whole of Middle West Is Making Preparations to Attend the LevIs and Clark Exposition. I. I. Patterson, Collector of Customs, returned from St. Louis yesterday, where he has been in conference With the cus toms officials connected with the Exposi tion In that city. Owing to the large number of foreign oYViivtita o-rnpctpcl trt be broucht to the Lwls and Clark Fair; It was deemed advisable by the Government that Mr. Patterson should confer with the St. Louis officials and gain Information rrom tneir experience. Mr. Patterson has gone Into tbe han dling" of these exhibits very thoroughly, and Is now busily preparing for the proper conduct of the business which will arise from the Fair. In order to tane proper care of the for eign exhibits, the Fair grounds will prac tically form a sub-port of entry, and the buildings containing such exhibits will be, In effect, bonded warehouses. Branch of fices of the local Custom-House will be established within the grounds, and all business In connection with the Fair will be conducted there. Mr. Patterson, In speaking of his trip, saJa: "I went to SL Louis under Government orders for the purpose stated, and feel that tho Information gained will be of great benefit In the work before us. "While en route I visited Chicago, Kan sas City, Denver and other cities, but that which Impressed Itself, most forci bly upon me was the wide publicity at tained by the Lewis and Clark Fair. Everywhere I went I found people talk ing of our coming Fair, and I was con tinually being asked questions regarding It. It would seem aa If every one In the East had made up their minds to visit us next year, and if we receive only a small per cent of those who say they are com ing we will have enormous crowds from beginning to end. "A vast amount of beneficial work has been accomplished In the advertising done in St. Louis during the Fair, and our men there are deserving of great credit. President Goode has been an Indefatigable worker, but this can be said of the other members of the commission as ' well. Crowds of people visited the Oregon build ing every day, and care was taken to see that all heard something of the. Lewl3 and Clark Fair. "Simply as an Incident of the Interest taken In our Fair, I might say that while in Chicago I attended the National Stock Exhibition. "White talking with some of the cattlemen there and in speaking of next year's event, I was told that four or fixe- of them were planning on sending a tralnload of their best cattle for exhi bition, at the Lewis and Clark Fair. More than this, they Intended to secure the co-operation of their different associations and try to do better than the one car load. From all I have heard and noticed, our Fair is certain to be a grand success, and will prove to be a great thing for Portland." Schade Brothers' Dog.

Columns could be filled with these, but the two following will do for a first Installment: A story which perhaps goes even fur ther In displaying the Intelligence and reasoning powers of the dog Is told about a fine setter owned by the Schade broth eres, of Alblna. They take him out duck hunting in Columbia Slough every Sun day, as a rule, and he renders efficient service and usually domes home tired. Monday morning early he goes away out to the. slough to hunt ducks on his own acccount, and almost every time returns carrying a broken-winged or otherwise crippled duck, and might often bring more, but one Is enough of a load for him to pack bo far. H"e has probably noticed wing-broken or hard-hit ducks falling far out of reach on Sunday and seems to have reasoned that by getting out early on Monday he will be likely to find such In places he knows to be the resort or hiding places of lame ducks, and his suc cess shows that he has reasoned or re membered correctly. He evidently feels that It is his duty to let no guilty duck escape, and his proud, pleased look, as he returns from his Monday morning Jaunts and lays a big mallard at the feet of his master, shows that he appreciated the commendations lavished on him. He never makes such a trip except on Mon day or the day following a hunting day, as he appears to realize that there are others, as minks, crows, etc., on the look out for lame ducks, and they are not left long In their misery. .
