Sthest Sign's Misplaced. The beautiful
enameled sSjrns -which have been erected
at tho Intersections of streets bearing the
Tiamae of the different streots In Jetters so
plain that hp who runs or even Is -whirled
by on an electric car may read them,
have proved a great convenience to both
citizens and strangers where they have
been rightly placed. Unfortunately a mis
take has been made by placing on Hast
Thirty-ninth frtroet, signs bearing the
name of "Prettyman Avenue." There is
a Prettyman avenuo about a mile cast
of East Thirly-nlnth street, outside of the
city limits, and the mistake has caused
much confusion, especially to passengers
on the ML Tabor car-line who desire
to get off at East Thirty-ninth street and
are misled by the wrong elgn at that In
tersectton. Justjwho is responsible for the
crrar is not known and he will be fortu
nate if the residents on East Thirty-ninth
street never find out, for they are very
much put out about tho matter. The resi
dents on Prottyman avenue have not yet
been hoard from, but they doubtless hope
that when proper signs are placed on East
Thirty-ninth street the signs taken dowx
there will be placed on their avenue and
if so they will have no cause to complain,
but quite the reverse.
Chris O. Brown Returks. Portland's
JUalto wore a glad smile yesterday, for
t Chris O. Brown, manager of the Star
vaudeville theater, came homo from his
trip to the East, via San Francisco, where

acrobats, the Ashton acrobatic trio, Sheik
Hadjt's troupe of nine Arabs, the five

Said Judge "Was Unfair. Alleging that
Judge Hogue had expressed a prejudice
in the case of a Mongolian who was ar
rested recently for smoking opium, C. F.
Lord, an attorney, walked out of Police
Court yesterday morning when the case
of his client was called for hearing, thus
forfeiting $20 ball. There 'was rather a
heated exchange of words when the at
torney told Judge Hogue he believed him
prejudiced. The court denied the charge.
but expressed a perfect willingness to
have the case heard by another magis
trate, whereupon Attorney Lord remarked
It would be a farce otherwise and left the
room. His client did not appear for trial.
Connected "Willamette and Columbia
Boulevards. G. "W. Simmons. Road Su
porvlsor at SL Johns, has extended the

Marquam Boxoffice Will Open for
Gadski Concert.
At 10 o'clock on Friday the sale of
seats for the Gadski concert will open
at the Marquam Theater box office. It
Is safe to predict that the line at the
box office will be as long as tho list of
descriptive adjectives the concert-goers
will use doing justice to Mme. Gadskl's
gracious presence and to her beautiful
voice.
The programme for Monday, Decem
ber 18, is especially delightful and well
chosen, and the Portlanders fortunate
enough to obtain seats have a rare
treat in store.
Bo much has been written and said
about Gadskl's presence and her win
ning personality that there is a great
deal of curiosity and interest aroused
which will be satisfied to the fullest
extent as soon as the great artist steps
upon the stage. Madame Gadskl's
charm of manner makes her an lirie
dlate success even before her glorious
voice is heard.
Not more than six seats will be sold
to any one person.
