Street-Car Transfers -Again. PORTLAND, Jan. 26. (To the Editor.) In The Oregonian of the 21th was a short editorial on the subject of transfers to be demanded when fare Is paid, rather favor Ing the company's course. I think The Oregonian misunderstands the point of dts pute. I doubt if there1 Is a patron of the lints hut what would as noon ask for transfer when he pays his fare as to do it later, but they are not willing to be fined B cents tor failure to ask on account of alight, forgetfulness. There la no controversy on" the time for asking for a transfer between the people and the company. The point Is when they cay their fare ther hare earned the light to a transfer, and the company lays Itself liable to an action at law for withholding eucb transfer, with all the damages and costs that may accrue. It is no more the duty of the passenger to demand a transfer when- fare la paid than for the conductor to say, "Transfer I" when collecting- fares. They are a part of one and the same duty. Besides the Injustice of the thing, the with holding of a transfer may work great In convenience and hardship to parties moving about the city. Suppose a lady from St Johns, we will say. goes to the city to trade. She spends her money, savins enough for her fare home and perhaps to visit a friend on Portland Heights or some other part of the city. On- her return she pays her fare and from some cause forgets for the moment to demand a transfer. The conduc tor passes to the other end of the car In collecting fares. She bethinks herself and calls his attention to It and asks for transfer. He refuses and points to the placard in the .end of the car. She' is stranded, a complete stranger, and seven miles from her home. There is but one thing to do. humiliate herself In trying to get the loan of 5 cents from absolute strangers. That sir, is the point at is sue. She has been wronged out of her Jutt dues. This Is no exception of a case, except perhaps In the amount ot money tn hand by the 'wronged. I have seen this thing en acted almost dally. I have been thanked by private parties through the mail for tay arraignment of their methods In Sundays Oregonlan and who had gone through the same ordeal The grievance la an absolute wrong and .the courts will be appealed to If It Is not abated.

Jn looking over my old letters I And the following from the late H. S. Lyman, which comes like a message sent back from the heavenly half of the circle to those whom he. too, has so lately left be hind. Some of the thoughts are so fine that I herewith submit a copy (forwarding the original to his sisters) to your Judg ment as to whether it should or should not be given to the public. The Miss Palmer, of whom he speaks, was given to me when a child by her dying mother; and she received from me the careful training and education of a daugh ter, which she returned with true filial love and faithful devotion. She was all that Mr. Lyman says ot her, and her death was. indeed, a grievous loss to me and to our home. DR. OWENS-ADAIR. COPT OF LETTER OF H. S. LYMAN. ASTORIA. Or.. Nor. 1. 1S93. CoL John Adair, and Dr. Owens-Adair Dear Friends: The sadness I felt as I learned the evening after her burial, ot the death of Miss Palmer, has made me wish to sa some thing comforting. If I could, to you. Your sense or joss your actual loss ot ner out of your home and your work and your plans for your family and the community, you will not get over, and would not wish to. The place of any ose that we really love Is never taken, and never filled. Perhaps It Is a comfort that It Is so. It may be that the place we have for such In our hearts Is like the place spoken of by Jesus, one of the places prepared, so that when things are made up again, and each returns to his own, they will find the same place In our affections, and the same part In our lives. Certainly though we part, none of us, either those that go, or those that remain, are out' side of God's providence. "I know not whre his Islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond his love and care." So our mourning is not without hope, and the' hope is the main thing for us. As for her one who In this world was fitted to serve and do good; and who found her life in making things better and brighter, wilt not be left without happy ministry anyr where. God. who found her her place here. will find it for her there. It la with you as with the rest of us, half ot our life on this side, and halt on that. Our clrcli even our family circle not complete except as It takes In a part ot heaven, half here, ln sight, half there, out of sight, but all In God. I am wanting to see you. but accept this until I can. Very sincerely yours. H. H. LYMAN. You may be thinking of us ing an artificial food for your baby.

Louise Allen I PITY the next actor who comes to Portland with a modern romantic play from the bottom ot my heart. I pity him. Because at the inevitable mo ment when "Wully Rassendahl" or "Reg gie Clay." in a brand-new Panama hat and immaculate stock, a safety raxor be tween his teeth and a .22-callber home-defender in either hand, saves the throne ot Little Miami and the Princess, who looks like his cousin Ethel, at one lovely coop, the graceless audience will think of that awful man Collier and burst Into cruel, cruel laughter. The unlucky actor hero will just naturally die standing up. It's a sorry pity, but I fear William Collier and "The Dictator" spoiled, us for that sort of thing. It happened last night at the Marquam and a fine, repre sentative Portland audience saw one of the most finished performances It has ever been the local good fortune to wit ness. When Harding Davis wrote "The Dic tator" and Collier went a-starrlng in it the two of them shattered many a mat inee girl's idbl. The farce satirises deliriously the Cent ral American revolution sort of thing, and what Dictator Collier does to the unnatural Gibson man is funny enough to put "Wonderful Wilfred1 into the Sol diers Home. To begin with, the piece is the best the star ha3 ever had, and he is better in the role of Brooke T ravers -than ever before. It has to do with a revolution in a peripatetic Central American republic, which Travers, while impersonating the United States Consul, mixes up In to the extent of buying up the army and de claring himself dictator. There Is more plot than Is to be found in the average farce, and every moment is funny. I dislike that much-abused word "clev er." but am of the opinion that it was coined to apply to William Collier. He la an artist from Artistic Corners, and without resorting to grotesque make-up. without the endowment of crooked legs or a ridiculous voice be makes the aver age theatergoer forget there is trouble in the world. He goes onto the stage in his proper person, a handsome, well-dressed young man. and destroys tribulation for the fun of the thing. To be as natural as Collier when he Is playing is to be a great artist "The Dictator" was written around him, but it provides liberally for the other good parts and the excellent sup port. Louise Allen, who Is Mrs. Collier except on the playbills, has a fine part as tho Spanish girl with the chill con came disposition. She does it beautifully Much Interest was felt in the first ap pearance hero of John Barrymore, of the famous stage family, and last night's verdict was that he will do down to the ground. He made tho slouching "wise guy" telegrapher shine even In such brll liant company. George Xash was good as Colonlel Bowie, the grafting Consul and Charles Jackson was a corking valet to the Dictator. All the others fit Into their" niches splendidly. There will be a performance of "The Dictator tonight, and another on Satur day afternoon. A. A. ' G. RED EVES AND EYELIDS. . Granulated Eyelids and other Eye troubles cured by Murine.
