AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say. TO PLAY "OTHELLO" TONIGHT Return of Charles B. Hanford In Shakespeare's Great Tragedy. Tonight at the Marquam Grand Theater the distinguished actor and tragedian. Charles B. Hanford, will present Shakes peare's great tragely "Othello." It has been but two weeks since Mr. Hanford, supported by the charming actress Marie Drofnah and an excellent company of players, delighted Portland theater-goers with the above masterpiece of the world's greatest playwright. The return en gagement this evening will again afford Shakespearean readers an excellent op portunity of seeing this clever company, A special production of the play is offered. tbe scenic equipment being complete in every detail, the costuming rich, pictur esque and correct, and the stage furnish ings such as to reflect the splendid luxury of ancient Venetian society. "Old Heidelberg." Everyone who has been to the Columbia Theater this week is talking "Old Heidel berg." It Is not likely that anyone who is interested in a good play when It does come to Portland, will miss seeing this production after all that has been said and written of It- It Is not only one or the most beautiful scenic productions ever given, but the Btory of the play Is one of the dearest, sweetest stories ever told. Nothing could be more fascinating than to see a handsome young Prince leave his royal castle and for a time become a free, happy Heidelberg student, and grow to love a pretty, simple maid. It Is sweet to know the love, and yet the sadness is always there, to know the absolute hope lessness of it all: for a Royal Prince cannot marry whom his heart chooses, but must follow the dictates of state. To know, to feel the force and charm of the story, one must see too piay. See Howard Gould through the many strangely contrasted scenes as Prince, student and lover. See Cathrine Countiss, the merry mala. "Kathle," wno in her guileless, innocent way learned to love this student and to fonret for the time he was a might' Prince, only at last to realize It and watch him ko away from her forever. To see "Old Heidelberg" tnis week at the Columbia Is a pleasure that will not soon be forgotten. Seat Sale Opens Today.

The tug Ranger met the Oregon off the bar at S o'clock this morning and piloted her in. Since the flre was first discov ered off Crescent City, Cal., night before last, the pumps have been steadily at work. o trouble has been experienced with the engines. The vessel shows a heavy list to port, but the hull and upper works are Intact. Up to dark the efforts of the officers and crew of the Oregon to quench tho flames have been unsuccessful. The method adopted of attempting to fill tho vessel with water was Inadequate to the situa tion. It has been determined that tho vessel cannot be flooded by means of her own pumps, andhe men are now engaged In boring holes through the steel plates through which hose will be inserted. A tug or other engines will then be secured and the space between decks, which the water now being pumped In does not reach, will be flooded. Since the pumping began this morning the Oregon righted considerably and was moved still further up on the beach. The bow of tho vessel is now even with the shore line at low water. The steel plates are becoming hotter, and the smoke Is still rolling out from her after skylight. How Stanford University Was Founded Small Boy's Fondness for Collecting Curios Gave Rick Father Mother Idea of Erecting Institution of Learning. TO a small boy's fondness for collecting curios may be traced the founding of Leland Stanford, Jr., University. The motive of Senator and Mrs. Stanford In endowing an Institution of learning was to erect a memorial to their son, Loland Stanford, Junior, who was born In Sacra mento, May 14, 1S59, and who died In Italy at the age of 16. The boy was a frail, delicate child, studious and with a fond ness for collecting strange relics and curios. In his 11th year he made the be ginnings of a European collection, which is now installed in the university museum at Palo Alto. One of his earliest am bitions was to found a museum, and the wealth of his parents Indulged him In his eager desire to obtain trophies of war, suits of armor and other valuable relics. When the boy died suddenly in Italy, Senator Stanford made the famous re mark: "The children of California shall be my children." on receiving the news of his bereavement. That Senator and Mrs. Stanford re ceived from the boy the Idea ot founding an institution of learning is shown by the following extract from thp deed of foun dation: "Since the Idea of establishing an in stitution of this kind for the benefit of mankind came directly and largely from our son and only child, Leland, and In the belief that If he had been spared to advise as to the disposition of our estate he would have advised the devotion of a large portion thereof to this purpose, we will that for all time to come the insti tution hereby founded shall bear his name and be known as the Leland Stanford, Jr., University." Seven years after the death of the boy; 189L the university was founded. It was not done with haste and only after con sultatlon with the eminent educators of the United States. One ot the legends that students love to tell, recites that at one time Senator and Mrs. Stanford were considering adding several millions oc their wealth to the endowment of an Eastern university. The story goes that the Senator and his wife, both plainly dressed as was their wont, called upon the president of the university. "We are thinking of endowing a chair In your university." they said. "How much money will It cost?" "Oh, people in your circumstances couldn't possibly think ot doing that," was tho answer. "It costs over JIOO.OQO." "Well, Jane," remarked Senator Stan ford, "If that's all it costs, let's establish a university of our own." At any rate Daniel Colt Gllman. of Johns Hopkins University, was consulted and he advised founding the new univers ity on the Pacific Coast. Andrew D. White, of Cornell, confirmed this Judg ment at a subsequent conference at which a definite decision was reached. From that time on there was no step backwards. A charter for the university was procured from the State Legislature of California, and a deed of gift executed dedicating part of the stock farm at Palo Alto for the campus of the university. Tavid Starr Jordan, then president of In diana University, was appointed presi dent, and commissioned to select his fac ulty. Building was started under the personal direction of Senator Stanford, the corner-stone was laid May 14, 1SS7, and the doors of the university thrown open to students in August 1S9L For two years the university affairs and finances were administered by Senator Stanford himself. To the man. accustomed to handling mercantile, mining and rail road enterprises on a largo scale, the work connected with the administration of the university was a delightful pastime. He projected new buildings, planned improvo- jncnta abotxt-lbe caxasns, and -txoX,s To rexnoTS the hatches would give a draught that would certainly encompass tho destruction, of the ship.

COMPANY B "WILL CELEBRATE Anniversary to Be Observed by At tending Theater In a Body. Tonight is the anniversary of Company. B, Third Infantry. O. N. G., and the event is to be celebrated by the entire company with their wives and friends at tending the Columbia Theater In a body to witness the performance of "Old Heidelberg." The company, through First Lieutenant Walter W. Wilson, has purchased ISC seats in the parquet and will appear in uniform, which will make an imposing sight at the handsome up town theater tonight. Captain Dunbar and Lieutenants Wil son and Brown, together with other offi cers and ladies, will occupy the lower boxes, and though all arrangements for the event have been quietly and unosten tatiously made, it promises to be military affair of considerable Importance and In fact one of the largest and most Interesting events that have taken place In the Columbia Theater. aad. cial interest in the technical and scientific departments of the university. His Idea was not only to provide a curriculum where the student could be trained in general culture and the classics, but to train the hand as well, and the depart ments of manual training, the shops, the departments of ' engineering and applied sciences were his especial hobby. Two years after the founding of the university he died, leaving a valuaole estate with a university and a stock farm as ad Juncts that ate up revenues very rapidly. His wife took up the burden. Born In ,1S29, Jane Lathrop was the daughter of Dyer Lathrop, a merchant of Albany, N Y. At the age of 21 she married Leland Stanford, then a lawyer, and left with him for Wisconsin. When a fire de stroyed his valuable law library at Port Washington, Wis., In 1S52. his steps were turned westward to the mining camps of California. His wife accompanied him. Senator Stanford made a fortune In mer cantile and mining enterprises, became California's war Governor, and finally president of the Central Pacific Railroad and United States Senator. His wife was an able helpmeet, but at the time of his death had displayed few of the traits that marked her after life as a successful business woman. Mrs. Stanford has herself said that until her son was born, she lived what she con sidered a selfish life, that she was ab sorbed in her own name and never thought that there were those less fortu nate to whom she might be a means ot help. One day a young woman came to her soliciting aid for a poor children's school, and Mrs. Slanford was so pleased with the idea that she no only gave her the desired funds but went to the school .that afternoon. She took gifts for the children, and was so delighted at the pleasure which it was within her power to give that she Immediately determined upon a career of charity. She began by founding kindergartens. She endowed those of San Francisco with $100,00, the Interest from which supports six schools. She was also active In the charity or ganizations, of "Washington, D. C In various parts of the country there are eight institutions for the education ot young girls which owe their existence to Mrs. Stanford. Following tho death of Senator Stanford In 1S93. the university went through the crisis of its history. Plans for enlarge ment had Just been perfected. The salary roll had been doubled. Then the United States Government brought suit against the estate for J15.O0O.O00, on the ground that Senator Stanford, as a stockholder, was liable for ,the debt of the Central Pacific to the Government. Four years of strain followed. Mrs. Stanford faced alone the Government litigation, the pro longed panic, the threatened collapse of properties, the importunities of heirs, the numbing sense of utter lack of needed moneys. She was allowed by the court 510,000 a month for personal expenses. She lived on $000 a month, and soent $3700 on J salaries of professors. She sold $1,000,000 bonds of her own. the gift of Senator Stanford on their 25th wedding anniver sary. On March 2, 1S9G. the Supreme Court decided that the Individual stock holders were not liable for the debt of the Central Pacific, and the days of finan cial stress came to an end. But in that time Mrs. Stanford had demonstrated her great financial ability. Leaks in the es tate had been stopped up; unproductive property sold: even Senator Stanford's ex pensive toy. the stockfarm, put on a pro ductive basis, so that after 12 years ot her management she leaves to the university an estate alaosf doubled in value, worth over 3j3O.6M.980, and a university almost completed ea SeaaAer- ataaford'js original cnat la.vJs-Ja TWO CARGO SHIPS Pythomene and Lonsdale- Ar- rive in Port, INTERESTING TALES RELATED Former Sights Derelict Off Columbia Which' Is Feared to Be Barken- tlne T. P. Emigh, Overdue From San Francisco. Two arrivals of foreign cargo sailing ships in one day, after a long period of dullness, was enough to wake up the water front yesterday. The new comers were the British ships Lonsdale and Pythomene, the former from Shields via Fort Los Angeles, the lat ter from Antwerp. The. most Important incident of the Pythomene's long voyage occurred Just before her arrival at the mouth of the Columbia. Last Saturday morning about 4:33 o clock. Captain Splney reports that the lookout sighted a derelict Im mediately ahead. The weather was very thick at the time and a light north wind was blowing. The sailor called out to the mate, the wheel was thrown over and a collision was averted, the ship passing the hulk by a very narrow margin. The derelict had tho appear ance in the dim light ot being a dis mantled vessel about 150 feet long. The bow and stern were sticking up. the back evidently being broken. There was no light or any sign of life on the craft. Mariners hero are puzzled as to the identity of tho derelict, and there Is some fear that It may be the barken- tlne T. P. Emlgh. No other coasting vessel is known to be missing or over due. The Emlgh is out SO days today from San Francisco and schooners that left the Bay City after her have long slcne arrived in port. The barkentine is under charter to Charles Nelson to load at the Portland lumber mills, for Shang hai. Until she reached the vicinity of the Columbia River, the voyage, of the Py thomene was uneventful. She sailed from Antwerp September 30 and had exceptionally fine weather on the way. Cape Horn was rounded under the most favorable conditions with all the roy als on. Stormy weather was encoun tered off the river and the ship beat about for a week outside before she got a bar pilot. On reaching the narbor the eblp was moored at Fuller's Jock, or as close to It as tho mud in front of the wharf would permit. She brings general cargo for Taylor. Young & Co. consisting ot CO cases of mineral water. 1347 bars and bundles of iron, 100 casks of whis ky. 55 cases of gin, 100 casks of tar oil. olive oil. curry powder, Scotch her rings, vinegar, pickles. Jam, 478 girder rails, 390 packages of fish plates, four cases of trranlte. 1942 packages of strawboards. 334 steel beams, 10,500 barrels of cement and a quantity of coke. Lonsdale Is British Ship. The Lonsdale is a British ship with a Yankee skipper. Captain F. X. Fall, th master of the vessel, was left at Port Los Angeles and she was brought up by Captain S. Young, formerly of the barkentine Echo. Altnough an Amen can citizen. Captain Young possessed i British certificate, which came in very handy when he was offered tne place on the Lonsdale. Captain Fall was leit in a Los Angeles hospital to undergo and operation, and 13 expected here in a week or two to Join the vessel, cap tain Fall Is well known In Portland. having commanded the Cockermouth on her visit here two years ago. The Lonsdale left Shields July 1 and 180 days later arrived at the California port. In the meantime she had rescued the crew of a burning vessel on (jape Horn and put In to Valparaiso, where she landed them, as was related In the dlsnatches at the time. The ill-fated craft was the Elvlon. a British bark While rounding the Cape her cargo caught flre and in response to distress signals the Lonsdale approached her. A hlKh aea was running, but Mate O'Conner and four sailors volunteered to ko to the rescue. A small boat was launched and -after great dlffculty. Cap tain Thomas and 19 seamen of the El vlon were taken off. It was none too soon, for they had hardly reached the Lonsdale before the burning ship sank out of sight. The rescued sailors proved a bad lot. for they soon stirred up a mutiny and It was necessary to put some of tnem in irons before Valparaiso was reached where they were put ashore. Tho ship then proceeded on her way to Port Los Angeles, where a portion of her cargo was discharged, after which soe came to Portland. She Is consigned to Glrvin & Eyre, and will begin discharging cargo at Greenwich dock this morning. She brings 2'000 flre brick. 103 oag3 of ground ganlster, 10,000 ganister bricks. 70 tons of plaster clay and 150 tons of pig Iron. COLLECTOR OF BUOYS.

I was treated by two doctors and also tried different lands of linaments and medicines which 6eemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well.
