Take example, all ye that this do here or sc. How they that I love best do forsake me, Exocpte my Good-dcdes that bydeth truly. THE lines above quoted set forth the motive of the most remarkable drama over performed before a Portland audience. I had almost said tho ; most impressive religious ceremony, ;for the ultimate Impression of the thinking spectator must be that "Everyman," tho 15th century' morality play -which Ben Greet's English actors presented at tho Marquam yesterday afternoon is a roost unique agent of and for the propagtcndism of Christianity. The spirit of tho place, for the time being was changed, and for two hours the theater became a sanc- tuary. There were some in the audience i so frivolous minded that the lesson went above them. Fortunately, they were in thtr minority, and to most of that as- semblage the effect was soul-cloansmg. How far we Tiave wandered from the elemential drama could -not have boen more forcibly demonstrated, for in its ln I ceptlon, be it remembered, the drama was essentially religious. There are plays in these latter years purporting to be reli gious in character, but they must stand Indicted as the veriest clap-trap after the testimony ot "Everyman. Here is a drama, revived after more than 400 years, thanks to the reverence and artis tic fidelity of Dr. AVard. of Cambridge University. It preserves absolutely its original purpose of edifying rather than" entertaining. No one seeks the theater In which it is being presented for the mere entertainment of it. There may be tome who go out of idle curiosity, but even these, save in hopeless Instances, remain to be purified and ennobled. The performance of "Everyman In Portland at this time Is the most memora ble stage event In the history of the city. I only wish that all the good, bad and In different of our citizens might sit under itscompelllug spejl. The effect of it is, first of all, sober ing. On the way to the theater the spec tators laughed and chattered of frivolous affairs. Some sneered and caviled at the thing they were about to see. Others un thinkingly came to see the "show." Once Inside the doors, however, they left ephemeral affairs. The present-day world fell away from them and It scarcely needed the deep tones of the organ some where behind the stage to impress them that they were about to see a thing a"part The attendants whispered in awed tones and trod reverentially as they seat ed tho audience. The silence of a monas tery at vesper-time was over the place. Occasionally a passing car outside jarred the solemn quiet with Its noise. One was prepared to see the spectators kneel at any moment as pilgrims at a shrine. It would not have been outside the gen eral scheme had those present crossed themselves before sitting. The stage was set as the cloister-yard of an old Spanish cathedral and at either side of it sat a monk In cassock and cowl, silent and Immovable. The curtain was up and we sat for minutes looking wrapt at the scene. Those twentieth cen tury persons who could not understand moved uneasily In their seats. All oth ers were constrained. Then from afar off came the mellowed tones of the organ and a voice, the voice of deity, spoke. For near two hours thereafter we followed the enactment of the allegory. "We saw the ghostly form of Death stalk on, we saw Everyman summoned to his last accounting, we saw all his companions fall away from him, until at last deserted, save by Good Deeds, he sank into the grave at the trumpet summons of death. When all this had passed in review be fore us, we arose and left the -place with the mighty spell of the old Monk Dor land's play upon us. The following Is the "argument" of "Everyman" submitted by Ben Greet, the eminent student and actor-manager to whom -we owe the privilege of seeing the production: After an announcement by a "Messenger," God opens the play with the assertion that, as men arc so drowned In eln and cumbered -with riches that they have fogotten him, he has declied to do Justice to them and "have a rekenynge- of. every mannea persone." He bids Dcthe, his "mighty messengcre," tell Every man, to prepare for his last pilgrimage. On Scaring the unwelcome message Everyman tries by pleadings and bribes to obtain respite, but gets enly permission to take companions, if he can find any hardy enough to accompany him. Felawshyp enters, and, noticing Everyman's grief, asks its cause, vowing his readiness to !!e Jor him. But when he hears his friend's request, he flatly refuses to go a foot with t.m Appeals to Kynrede and Cosln are no more successful, and the dearly loved Goodes CPrcperty) simply mocks at Everyman's dis tress. At last in despair Everyman seeks his lcr.g-neglected friend Good Dedes, -who, though lying weak and cold on the ground, .so bound by his sins that ehe cannot stir, readily con sents to do all ehe can do for him. She in troduces blm to her sister Knoledge ("the dis creet and learned advice -which Religion has at her service"), and she offers to be his guide. She brings him before Confession, from whom he receives) tho Jewel "penaunce, voyder of adversyte." The ardor of his supplications and the severity of his penance free Good Cedes and so strengthen her that she can go with him on fcls Journey. HtTlng received the sacra ment, Everyman sets forth, clad In the gar ment "contrycyon" and accompanied by Beatite. Strengthe, Dyecreclon and Fyve "Wsttcs. But Bcaute refuses to go down into the open grave through which his path leads. S'rer.cthe deserts him. Dyscreclon follows S'rengthe and Fyve-Wyttes bMs him farewell In despair he cries, "O, Jesu, help; all hath f rrmken mel" But Good Iedes is steadfast. ar.d Knoledge explains that, though she can- not accompany him. It is "for no manor of dourgcr " "With the words. "In manus tuas commrndo splrltum meum," Everyman sinks JntD the grave. Knoledge announces that -what ho hath suffered we all ehall endure; an A.mgc.1 is heard singing his welcome to heaven and tho Doctour brings the play to a close by renting its moral. There was nothing in the bill of the play to indicate what players undertook the various roles. Tho names of the parts were given as follows: MESSENGER, ADONAI. TETHE.

Wise at the Temple Beth Is rael last night. Dr. "Wise in part said: "The well-nigh universal theater-loving Instinct consti tutes the opportunity of the theater. To the Greek theater we owe that literature which covers a multitude of sins, the no ble Athenian tragedies of Sophocles, Aeschylus, and the comedies of Aristo phanes. "It Is not uninteresting to observe that the church which first favored and sanc tioned the theater I am thinking. of the pagan and medieval churches alike now condemns the theater and the play and commands the avoidance thereof. But In stead of damning the theater, one of the greatest Institutions of civilized life, let us try to make It more helpful. "Ltillzatlon in the material and the spir itual world Is the watchword of our age. "Without being a worshiper of. 'the God of things as they are,' I hold that to make the most and best of such a -universal in stitution as is embodied in the race's love of the theater is the highest and the wis est ars vltae.

"Wednesday evening the mother of Mrs. Ella Laska, who lives on First street, be tween Mill and Montgomery streets, died after a lingering illness. Thursday even ing Mrs. Laska gave birth to a girl babe. Last night at midnight the family's little home was gutted by fire and Mrs. Laska and the babe escaped death only by being carried from the burning dwelling by the nurse. Miss Stella Edwards. Everything in the house but two trunks was de stroyed by fire. To make the matter worse, Mrs. Laska's husband Is in far away Alaska, snowbound on his claim. An overheated stove set fire to wall paper In the little dwelling shortly before midnight last night The nurse was awakened by the smoke, and immediately aroused the neighborhood, at the same time making preparations to carry the woman and her babe from the building. They were taken into an adjoining resi dence. The babe was uninjured, but the fire started so quickly and so near the bed whereon Mrs. Laska was lying that the unfortunate women did not escape with out being slightly burned about the face and hands. An alarm brought the Firo Department to the scene, and the blaze was quickly extinguished, but had gained such head way that the little house was gutted. The furnishings were a total loss: HUFF IS ARRAIGNED. Land-Fraud Defendant Is Given Until Today to Plead.

Under the auspices of Charles Frohman, Mr. Greet's company came to this country In 1902. since whrch time "Everyman" has been presented In the principal cities of America. most ardent supporters of the theater to day, Jewish laws and traditions are op posed to the theater for reasons, among -which were the Immorality and Idolatry be diverting and entertaining, or It falls In its purpose, but it can noite the less be Informing, Instructing and uplifting. Just because most men's and women's work is void of natural Interest or moral up lifting, tho recreation of the theater ought to be a mental and moral stimulus. The name of Shakespeare occurs to one in thinking of the theater as an educator, of the pagan stage and the mockery and scoffing to be met with on the stage. It may be true, however, that the aversion of the Jewish church to the theater might be due to the absence of the drama in the Semitic literature. . "How an abhorred and .immoral agency, such as the theater, is considered by many to be, may serve a great purpose is Illustrated In the results achieved by some novels In the 19th century- Novel reading, in common, with theater-going, Is decried by the orthodox.

In despair over the troubles of a sinful life, Leona Mcllwain committed suicide to night, just three days after her husband sought relief by the same means. Leona Cameron came to Oregon from "Wisconsin with her parents about IS morfths ago, and though she was but a girl In her teen?, began, leading a fast life. Last Spring she met C. W.

Tho two have lived a life of discord ever since and to end his troubles Mc llwain took an ounce of carbolic acid last Tuesday, and died a few moments later. This evening Mm Mcllwain entered a box in the Cpuncll saloon and called for a glass of whiskj'. As the liquor was brought to her, she held up a phial of carbolic acid and told the proprietor. John Cooper, that Fhe was going to take it. He tried to Interfere, but she fled from him, swallowing the deadly drug as she ran. Dr. Byrd was summoned and applied all remedies, but the woman died at 12 o'clock tonight. Both Mcllwain and his wife came of highly respectable families.

Clean and decent plays ought to find a reward for their authors and .di rectors, but we ought to punish the in sulting purveyors of idiocy and filth.

(Spc clal.) In view of the reports from the Columbia River that the take of sal ro, eggs at the hatcheries this year Is less than one-fourth what it was for 1903, It is gratifying to the fishermen hero to know that the state hatchery on Coos River has had the most suc cessful run In its five years' history. Before Thanksgiving- the capacity of the hatchery, 6,000,000- eggs, had been reached, but the take ot -eggs con tinucd. Enough to half fill the hatch ery again have been taken and fertll Ized, and for lack, of a better place to put them they have been deposited among tho river gravel just as the fish tnomseives would do. superintendent Frank W. Smith has boen with the plant since it started. He planned at tho outset of this season to take 15.000.000 eggs, but he mav fall short. The record of the hatchery for nve yoars is as touows: i" 6.113.000 6.115.000 3.560.000 iS 2,415.000 18W 540.000 In this table no account is taken of uio eggs Deyond the capacity of tho natcnery. it is true that many mora eggs might be fertilized, but it is not so mucn the eggs us the young salmon that need care. It is to be doubted if many of the eggs fertilized and returns to tho river ever produce fish who live to get to the ocean. Bull trout are waiting in. mo nver u acvour tne young fry the moment, tney leave tne spawning nest. -iiucn ot tne worK or the hatchery is nullified by the fact that the fry have to be put into the river before they are old enough to care for themselves. There should be a pond built on the hatchery grounds where tne young salmon could be kept for the first year. The south fork of the Coos River is an Ideal place for a hatchery. After the saimon pass tne junction of the two forks they are protected by law. and no longer have VJo run the gauntlet of gill nets and seines. From the junction to tne neaa oi uacwater is a distance of about ten miles, the water in places 40 feet deep. Here the salmon bask for months at a time until Nature prompts them to leave for the spawning grounds higher up. This Is usually with the rise in the river from the first Fall rains. Hatchery Near Tidewater. The hatchery site Is at the bead of tide water, a. few yards above the first riffles, where the river has a sandy bottom and merges again into a deep hole. The candy bottom makes good seining. The hatch ery buildings arc on the river bank In a grove of myrtle, some 30 feet above low water. They arc not quite high enough. for the flood In January last year made It necessary to slDhon the young fry from the troughs to keep them from be ing washed" away. The first rack and the pens are built Just at the head of the rif fles, and the big rack that keeps the sal mon from going farther up stream Is 300 or 400 feet distant. "When the big freshet comes the salmon move up stream by the thousand. One can go out at night and watch them climbing over the rocks In schools like sheep. The take of eggs at that time Is limited only by the force of men. The salmon prefer to travel at nichL And they scent rain, even a slight shower. ana begin to move up stream. These are tne does that" are ripe and must find a spawning nest. They are driven on by the white-tails already in possession of too rocks at the riffles, and are caucht between the racks. But a doe that comes In on the tide at 12 or 1 o'clock at night would be spawned out before morning, if left to herself on the shallow gravel. Therefore Superintendent Smith and his assistant, Clell Hobson, are on duty night and day through the spawning season. They will get up at 2 o'clock in the morn ing and seine the pond for two fish. How Eggs Are Secured. Superintendent Smith has a new wav of taking eggs that beats the old "striD- iit, vwcaa. j?irat ine seme is carried up to tne bead of tho .pond and stretched across the river.

It Is literally her own story and pitifully pathetic. two men could not pull the seine. But they will land 100 safely enough, and have tne salmon so thick In the first pen that uiey will sometimes JumD over the too. There is much floDDlntr till the net Is landed and the gate closed. The men inside the pen begin to sep arate the males from the females and test each one to see if it Is riDe. One should be careful In reaching down Into tne pen to grasp a salmon by the tail not to get bis Angers In another salmon's mouth. A man on Coos River some vears ago died from the bite of a salmon. The average weight of the royal Chin ook salmon Is given by Dr. Jordan as 22 pounds. Superintendent Smith has a the ory that salmon can be bred up like cat tie or horses. This year he used only the larger Ducks, and by this process of se lection he hopes to increase the size of the salmon. Many fish were taken at the Coos River hatchery this' year that weighed 50 and CO pounds, and the aver age must have been above 20. It is t good man who can swing a 50-pound buck salmon under his arm and strip the milt from him without letting him knock the bucket over. Doe salmon were taken with 10.000 eggs in them. Club Kills Mother Fish. The does are handled very gently until the last moment arrives. Then they are held up by the tall and killed by being hit over the head with a club. The tall Is then cut through till the backpono is severed. This lets every drop of blood drain out. Any blood on the eggs is fatal to them, and so it is drained off be fore the eggs are taken. Formerly the eggs were stripped by running the hand down the length of the fish, the eggs spouting out like grain from an elevator. But this was slow work, and the thin filmy covering of many eggs was broken Then they tried slitting the fish from top to bottom and dipping the eggs out with the hand. This was also slow work. Su perintendent Smith makes a transverse incision near the tall after the fish is fastened in the long narrow box, holds his hand over the aperture till the head is elevated, removes "his hand and the eggs all run out Into the bucket. The eggs must be handled very carefully. Until they are fertilized they can be left for a time In the air without injury, The milt also can be kept In a bucket for several hours before use. The eggs are covered with water, and then th milt Is poured on and the mass gently stirred. After that It Is fatal to the eggs to strike the air. After three to eight minutes most of the milt is washed off. the eggs put in another bucket and count ed in a 1000-measure Into the baskets in the hatchery. The salmon eggs are beautiful deep pink and the size of a large pea. This big egg makes the food sack for a month for the young fry. Af ter about 40 days If the temperature of the water Is 54 degrees, the egg hatches and the fry slips through the wires of the basket and out into another trough. All the time the water from a creek at the natural temperature Is kept flow ing over the eggs and the fry- It Is this flow of water that has given Mr. Smith much concern. The source of his trouble Is a crazy hermit who threatens destruc tion and death to the hatchery- He drew a gun on the men one day, and has often said he would kill them. The hatchery tenders have to watch the dam In the creek constantly to keep the crazy man from tearing It out. To this end they have arranged an electric bell that gives warning night or day. If the supply of water stops, a board float ing on the surface is lowered, making a, contact that rings the bell. The crazy man. or some one else, cut the dam a fow days ago with an ax. and the only thing that saved this year's entire catch of salmon eggs was tho bell. Don't 'rlect a Cough.
