Mr. Snyder, and' His Audience Listens to Talk on Manhood. The -evangelists -went out Into the by ways last night with their means of grace and carried It to "the other half," since "the other hair has scruples asalnst "seeking." It had been announced that on the stroke, of' 10 a Ibrlef service would be held in that Temple of Ten Thousand Delights, known colloquially as Erick son's. For the benefit of those who are neither evangelists nor "the other half," It might be stated that Erickson'a Is a "combination" of vast proportions and Slitter where wine, women and song may be found by the wayfaring man though he be a fool. When 10 o'clock came the band of un certain female musicians were discoursing upon the melody of "Teasing," or some thing equally as enlivening. Through the curtains of the boxes there were to be had glimpses of benevolent-faced hourls and "representative business men" dis cussing bottled beer. On the ground floor was collected the motliest array of male humanity which the North End can turn out, and all the time cash registers were doing their best. There was a heavy draft upon the bars, for the place was full and everybody had a thirst. Over all was the happy noise of airy persiflage and the radiant glow of many lights. It was Just the enemy's country when 10 o'clock passed. "Haven't them preachers came yet, Min," asked one overdressed damoael, who had Just arrived, of one of the musicians. The crowd was fairly wedged into the great room, and seats at the tables- were impossible. There were men of almost every grade in life and of all ages. There were glided youths who thought they were "seeing life." There were the regular habitues whp were at home on their own dunghill. Touts, tin horns, con men. There were giddy young soldiers from Vancou ver, not bearded like the pard, and there were "lean and slippered pantaloons" and old soaks without any other place of recreation. .After all, the house was full, so that the Invaders of the enemy's country had to crowd for room. Erlckson, the lord of the place, stepped, out on the stage and announced in broken Scandinaian that some people were coming down to Bins and talk a little and would the gen tlemen please listen quiet and be respectful- The next thing the "enemy" knew, a quartet, of singing evangelists were lifting their voices in sacred song. The crowd began removing hats, and with exceptions maintained quiet. The order was, to be sure, much better than 1 have found In some churches. "When the song was ended and the applause died out, for there was applause from the "enemy," a speaker was announced and the Rev. Mr. Snyder commenced preach ing from a textwhlch ran "Be Strong and Show Thyself a Man." It was well chosen and the preacher got the attention of his audience, and only once or twice did it wander away. He talked manhood, respect for women, love for little children and the wisdom of being decent. Then he told of the man who be friended the Woman of Magdala and held him out to the "other hair as its Savior. He told wandering boys of their mothers, and there was more than oao "bad actor" in the crowd who conceded a tear. Old, white-haired men, veterans of the Tenderlolq, were touched, and only here and there an occasional fellow in his cups disturbed the respectful hearing. There were a few drinks sold during the service, but mostly the barkeepers and waiters had nothing to do but listen. The women of the boxes drew the curtains and gave heed. It did not last long, and after another song and a prayer the "invasion" was over. The evangelists and their friends withdrew as quickly as they came, and the uniformed "ladles band" resumed its playing. The crowd melted down to one flfth its former size and Erlcksdn's was .its own again. The meeting probably drew some patronage, to the bars, and by so doing helped Erlckson. It certainly set many people to talking and some to think ing. It was interesting, a bit spectacular and will long be recalled by "the other half." It may have done good. Who knows? A. A. G. MANY STAY THROUGHOUT DAY Evangelistic Meetings Are Well At tended in Various Districts. Yesterday was "Bible conference day" with the evangelists. That was the an nouncement which appeared upon the programme. They started the meetings as early as 9:30 in the morning, and at in tervals of an hour held gatherings at dif ferent places every hour during the day. The same persons did not appear at all of the meetings, but many stayed from morn ing until night, and even then followed to the North End. Rev. J. H. Thompson was the speaker at the first gathering of the day at the Taylor-Street Methodist Church- His talk was in the nature of a piece of advice as to the best methods of securing converts by the personal workers. Half &n hour later Rer. R. A. Walton was introduced and talked for some time upon the subject of Bible studies. At 11 O'clock Rev. W. E. Biederwolf in a Bible conference took up the topic of the "Evangelistic Church." He spoke at some length upon the duties of the church people and their relations to the general public. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman was the princi pal speaker at the noon meeting at' the Marquam Grand Theater yesterday. His subject was: "Those That Would and Did Not." He announced that today his topic would be, "Those That Would and Could Not." The sermon was taken from the story of the denial of Christ by Apostle Peter, and was very interesting. Fred Butler sang a solo and the songs by the choir were well rendered. At S o'clock, at the White Temple. Rer. Henry Ostrom spoke upon "New Testa ment Prayer" to a large audience. His address was most interesting, and the singing of the quartet and that- of Mr. Hlllls was particularly good. The children's meeting at the First Con gregational Church was well attended. Rev. Mr. Schaeffer told the story of the "Wordless Book." Interest in the First Congregational " i. ZIMMERMAN-. WHOSE AMENDMENTS WERE ADOPTED. Church district shows no abatement. Dr. Ostrom's sermon, which followed the usual song service, was very effective. His subject was "The Moral Life; Its Dangers." An innovation in the evening's pro gramme was the short talk in German given by Dr. Schauer of the German Evan gelical Church. There were quite a few of his countrymen present, and they lis tened with intense - interest to the plea that he made for a thorough Christian life. The regular service was followed by two after-meetings, one for women, in the main body of the church, and a sep arate one for men, in the vestry. The women were led in testimony by Dr. House, while the men were exhorted by Dr. Ostrom to come out from under the sham of a mere moral life, and accept the responsibilities which they owed as Chris tians to their fellow-men. Both meet ings were successful in developing con verts. In all the other districts the usual serv ices were held last night, and consider able interest was manifested in the ser mons and after-meetings. SERMON ON SALOON STAGE Erickson's Filled With Patient Throng to Hear Talk on "A Man." The evangelists were greeted with open arms at Erickson's concert hall last night. Long before the hour set for their ap pearance upon the stage a crowd of men. gathered about the rostrum and a number of women and their escorts filled the boxes to listen to the sermon of Rev. J. E. Snyder and the singing of the Chap man quartet and O. F. Pugh. It was 10 o'clock before the revivalists made their appearance, but . the crowd waited patiently while the busy waiters served them with beer. Finally the man ager of the saloon ventured upon the stage and announced that the preachers weie coming and told the expectant ones that their object was to help the fallen. At once there was order in the large auditorium and the quartet came from behind the curtains to sing "The Man of Galilee." When the singers were done the ap plause was deafening for a minute, but before the encore could be responded to Rev. Mr. Snyder appeared and preached a very interesting sermon upon the sub ject: "A Man." He was followed by O. F. Pugh n a solo. A short prayer was offered, in which Mr. Snyder asked the Lord to bless Mr. Erlckson and his bar tenders as well as those who had listened to the sermon. Tonight the evangelist band will hold a meeting in 813x1013 saloon, and Friday the crowd will appear upon the stage at Fritz's theater at 10 P. M. Offers are being received by the evan gelists from a number of other saloons and concert halls tending them the tree use of the stage for religious meetings, and it is likely that hereafter meetings REV. 3. E. SNTDER. KVANGELIST, BREACHES TO A- EARGEV.CROWD IN EXICKSOXS CONCERT KAIX. "', , ' CITV ENGINEER WANZER, AN IMPAK TLVL OBSERVER. will be held every night in one of such places. MUSIC HELPS DR. ELLIOTT Centenary M. E. C lurch Well Filled at the Evening Meeting. Between 1200' and 1500 people heard Dr. John H. Elliott last night in the Centenary M. E. Church. For the first time the galleries were filled. Interest and congregations ore increasing in this district. Rev. L. E. Rockwell, D. D., presiding elder, who has been out on his district, was present last evening, and took part in the services for the first time since the meetings were opened. Mr. Rykert had a choir of 150 voices on the platform, and through constant drilling provides stirring music Dr. Elliott gave a talk on the topic: "What shall it "profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." At the close of the sermon and serv ices, an after meeting was held and many remained. It was announced that Dr. Elliott would speak this after noon in the Third Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock, and that Mrs. A. J. Mont gomery would also conduct a prayer meeting' in another room of the Third Church. Already preparations -are be ing made in this district for Sunday's meetings, which are planned to take up most of the day. At Calvary Baptist Church. The attendance last evening in the Calvary Baptist Church, in the Ninth district, showed an increase over for mer meetings. Rev. Henry W. Stough, assisted by Mr. Collisson, the singing evangelist, conducted an effective ser mon. Dr. Stough is considered one of the strongest platform speakers among the evangelists. Last night he was particularly forcible, and was well sup plemented by the solos of Mr. Collisson and by the large choir. North-End Parade Tonight. This is to bo the momentous night in th North End from the evangelistic standpoint. At midnight there is to be a series of meetings In different portions of the city north of Oak street, and a parade through the streets by hundreds of men and women who are Interested In the movement. Just what the mode of pro cedure will be the leaders will not say, but it is understood that they will en deavor to enter the houses of the women along Fourth street, as well as the Paris House, and try to persuade them to at tend a meeting at one of the concert halls in that section. The line of march of the evangelist pa rade tonight is as follows: From Sev enth and Morrison, on Morrison to Third, on Third to Flanders, on Flanders to Fourth, on Fourth to Burnside. thence to the theaters. The parade will form at Seventh and Alder streets at 10:15 o'clock tonight. C. E. CITY FATHERS ACT Sumner Telephone Franchise is Considered. PASSED FOR PUBLICATION Vote Stands Six for and T'iree Against, with "One .Councilman . Absent Meat Inspector Or dinance Is Introduced. The Sumner automatic telephone fran chise was passed by the Council yester day afternoon for the ..purposes of publi cation. From the indications shown by the vote it Is doubtful if the measure could have gone through had it been up for final passage. Six voted for the ordinance and three against it. Mr. Bentley, one of the avowed opponents of the new company, was the only member absent. The vote was: Aye Albee. Flegel, Foeller, Sharkey. Whiting. Zimmerman. Nay Merrill, Rumelln. Sherrett. The amendments proposed by Mr. Zim merman were accepted without opposi tion on the part of the friends of the new company. Soon after the meeting opened, Mr. Zimmerman moved that the ordinance be taken from the street com mittee, to which it was referred at the last session, and placed before the Coun cil. When this was done he proposed five amendments. The first was that the ordinance specifically state that an auto matic system be installed, the second that not more than two blocks In any one street be obstructed by the digging of conduits within the fire limits. The other changes were that no charge should be made for the new telephones until 3000 were in operation within the city; that the company do not change Its system without consent of the city au thorities, and that the police-report sys tem be installed within 90 days from the date of the passage of the ordinance. These amendments were adopted, and Mr. Sharkey moved the adoption of the ordinance as amended. After the vote was taken, Mr. Flegel remarked that this vote was not decisive, "and was not the final passage of the franchise ordinance. Mayor Williams decided that it was for purpose of publication only. The requi site 60 days for passage of any franchise ordinance after first publication have not yet expired. Since the ordinance has been amended it must now be published as though a new ordinance. From the Chamber of Commerce and the Civic Improvement Board came two ordinances which were referred to the committee on health and police. One pro vided for the reconsideration of the re cent turning-down of the ordinance for the purchase of refuse boxes for the business streets. Another provided for the appointment of an inspector of meats and markets with three deputies. The changes in plans of the Union Market Company are authorized in an ordinance Introduced by Mr. Albee. It was sent to the Judiciary committee. .Mayor Williams asked that the Coun cllmen meet at the City Hall at 10 A. M. Saturday to take part In the parade of the Ninteenth Infantry. BOBBERS WOBK THE TBATNS Shrewd Thieves Outwit Passengers and Get Their Money. It is alleged that an organized gang of crooks operates on all theirans continental roads that lead Into Port land. They find business good because of the immense throngs of people hur rying to this section of the country. Several, cases In which the green goods, men have been Implicated have been reported to the police of this city. However, it Is rarely that-a robbery on a train is reported to the local author ities. Among the men arrested Tuesday night on the charge of drunkenness was one young man who showed evi dences of refinement and culture. In the morning when he had fully recov ered from the effects of liquor he told the police of his being robbed on the O. B- & N. coming to Portland. He said he was robbed of $60. He explained his being Intoxicated was due to chagrin over his being duped by green goods men. The young man. who lives In Brook lyn. N. T., said he met a man on the train who appeared to be very friendly and who. gave him a great deal of ad vice as to how to prevent being fleeced. He. told hiss that pickpockets J R EMEUS' WHEN ACTION. AROUSED TO were very numerous and that it was unsafe to carry money on his person. He advised the young men to put his money in the dress suit case. The young- man, believing that his newly-acquired friend was sincere, fol lowed his directions and placed all the money he had, which was $60, in the case. His friend then invited him to go to the smoking-room with him. When they returned the dress suit case had disappeared. When he reached Portland he bor rowed some money from a friend of his in this city and endeavored to hide his shame in drink. KICKED ON PACE AND CHEST. Louis Goldman Narrowly Escapes Death from Vicious Horse. Louis Goldman, a boy employed by the Banfleld-Veysey Fuel Company, was ter ribly injured yesterday by a horse kick ing him in the face and on the chest. He was leading two horses and driving an other which has the reputation of being somewhat vicious. He was close behind this animal, and in urging the horse, touched him in some way. when the horse kicked- at him, striking him squarely on the lower jaw with his heavy, iron-shod feet. His lower lip was split downward, and several teeth were loosened by the blow. Goldman was also kicked on the breast, not with the full force of the ani mal, but a glancing blow. The boy was taken to his home at 5S0 Gideon street, and then afterward to St. Vincent's Hospital. LAND SALES AT MILWAUKIE. Grasley Bros. Buy Two Tracts New Water Plant May Be Installed.

F., will in shall its newly-elected officers tonight at Woodmere Hall. KRESSLER , MASTER OF VIOLIN New York Critics Speak of Him in High Praise. Perhaps there Is nothing to be said about Fritz Krelsler that will do more to convince the Portland people of the treat in store for them than to quote from the New Tork papers, and tell what the most learned and scholarly critics in the United States said about his playing; and his effect upon his audience. The con servative old Evening Mail wrote this anent the violinist: "The Beethoven con certo has seldom, if ever, been more con vincingly set forth. Krelsler Is a. mas ter. "Into its successive moods now vigor ous, now militant, now serene, always ele vated but never frostily ungenial the vio linist entered with zest and fervor. He made it a thing of clear beauty. His tone was full and rich, and bis phrasing a thing to marvel over." Krelsler will be heard here at -the Em pire Theater, under the personal direc tion of Lois Steers and Wynn Coman. Th sale of seats ooens at the box office Saturday ssornlng; at o'clock. Club of Cohorts Will Boom Him, and Him Alone. STRONGEST IN THE PARTY Young Men's Club', Unlike Multno mah Democratic, However, Will ..Hold Out Helping Hand to All Aspirants. Dr. Harry Lane has been made to see the bright light by brethren of the Mult nomah Democratic Club, and has an nounced his willingness to run for the Democratic nomination for Mayor. Saints of he club met last night to hear the glad tidings from the committee of 12 apostles who had braved his long coyness and at last won him by tnelr wooing. And forthwith M..J. Malley. the self same who was said to have the bee in his own bonnet, but did most solemnly deny the allegation, moved that a com mittee of three valiants carry to Dr. Lane the tender sentiments of the club and tell him that he had received its in dorsement. The motion carried with a whoop, whereat President C. B. Williams chose John Manning, M. J. Malley and John Lamont to bear the glad tidings. Earlier in the evening Dr. Lane had made known his willingness to try for the Democratic nomination. "Will you be a candidate?" he was asked. "Well," replied the doctor coyly, "that's what my friends have said for me." "Will you run for the nomination?" "Yes, I guess it's a go." "So you're a candidate?" "That's about it." "How about- your platform?" "Oh, I'll announce that in due time." The doctor said that when the "due time" came he would not attempt to straddle anything nor carry water "on both shoulders, like several Republican as pirants. Such talk as this pleased the patriots last night from the hair on their heads to their shoeleather, and they, .beamed brightly when the doctor's name was mentioned. Those That Shine. And who's the starbeams? Among them the brightest th the Democratic firmament to wit: General Klllfeather, who as usual delivered himself of an oration that thrilled the gentlemen to the very mar row of their bones; Pat Powers, who was unusually subdued; Alex Sweek, big chief of all the Democrats In Oregon; John Manning, calmer of tumultuous waters, and others of lesser magnitude, like Jim Foley, Patrick Maher, John Henry fitev enson, B. E. Haney, Joe Malley, . B. Williams, S. C. Armltage, "Citizen" Parker, A. E. Ream, Ludwig Wilhelm. John W. Grussl, T. W. McGovern, J. E. Slmmons and C. A. Petraln. Backers Of Dr. Lann rJfwlnro itiat i will win the Democratic nomination without any trouble whatever, and rear up on their hind legs and paw the air whenever music from the camp of George H. Thom as floats Into their ears. They say that l nomas will he utterly wiped off the face of the political earth after the unterrlfled hosts have done with him at the pri maries. Another Club Thinks Differently. But though the Multnomah Democratic Club Is content with Lane alone, another club, the Young Men's Democratic, Is not, for It believes that as many candidates as possible should be brought unto the altar. Most of Its men of valor are of a per suasion antagonistic to the faction that now dominates the party and which rules the Multnomah Club, and they are Jeal ous of Its big chiefs, of which many be long to the Pccry-Thomas system of as tral bodies, whose orbits are against those of the Sweek satellites. However, Thomas and Peery do not now seem to be pulling together, and it Is said that L. T. Peery himself could be induced to run with a little coaxing. Be that as it may, the Young Men's cluster of stars does not believe In boom ing one candidate ahead "of any other. Such doings, they say, smack of machines and cliques; hence they would let every good Democrat enter the primaries who desires, so that the hosts without the council may exercise free will, untram melcd by bosses. Aid for Ambitious. Such was their declaration at a meeting last week, and they appointed a commit tee to encourage all aspiring sons of the party to come forth and be petted or clubbed according to the wish of the brethren of the rank and file. Not that they thought Dr. Lane a weak candidate or a bad man: Indeed, they beheld in him a strong candidate and a- good man, but they said unto one another: "Hark ye; If we have one man only we shall not observe the direct-primary law nor keep it holy, for is it not written that the peopleshall nominate, and not ma chines?" For to their minds a bevy of gentlemen assembled In a stuffy room Is ulke unto a machine; very much, Indeed. Decry Talk of Jealousy. And because the Sweek crowd, repre sented in the Multnomah Club, was first to boom Lane and has indorsed, him, there is said to be a trace of jealousy in theJ other camp. But the Lane boomers say they have not seen nor heard anything of it. and declare that It Is all a false alarm. In Democratic circles the opinion Is gen eral that Lane Is the strongest candidate that the party can name. Three years ago Lane ran a close race with Henry D. McGinn, the Republican nominee for State Senator. When the club met last night, C. B. Williams, as its president and as chair man of the committee that had coaxed Lane, proclaimed that the committee had selected no candidate, but that it could announce Dr. Lane willing to run. War horse Malley wanted -action on the spot. Time was short, he said. Besides, a mart was now In the field (Thomas) who would win the nomination were the party not careful, and where, then, would the party go? As for himself, although boomed until ho felt highly flattered, still Lane was the only stalwart who could lead the hosts to the promised land. This and more came out of Malley's mouth, until he wound up by proposing a corri mittee of three to wait on Lane and ten der to him the indorsement of the club. The motion was carried. Jim Foley rose up. to say that a lot of peanut politicians were snooping around who wanted to straddle everything that came up, as If the people would stand for It- He objected to procrastination, be cause It was the thief of time, and there were enough thieves already. - He wanted CURED BY THE . CUTIGURA REMEDIES The agonizing itching and bnrsisg of the skin, as in eczema; the fright ful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the lea of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigure ment, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants, and anxiety of worn-out parents, as is. milk crust tetter, and salt rheum all demand, a remedy of almost super human virtues to successfully cope with. them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills are such, stands proven beyond all doubt. No state ment is made regarding them that i not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the cer tainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of ths civilized world. CAPT. GRAHAM'S CURE Of Distressing Humour. Captain W. S. Graham, 1321 Eoff St., "Wheeling, W. Ya., writing under date of June 14, '04, says: "I am so grateful I want to thank God that a friend recommended Cuticnra Soap and Ointment to me. I suffered-for a long time with sores on my face and back. Some doctors said I had blood poison, and others that I had barbers' itch. None of them did me any good, but they all took my money. My friends tell me my skin now looks as "clear as a baby's, and I tell them Cuticura Soap and Ointment did it." Catlcsn Sotp, O lata tot. tad PHli in told throws cat On -world. Fomr Druj Ch era.

Foley got so far off on a sidetrack that Williams called him back, whereupon he subsided, and Manning proceeded, to paci fy the waters. The club, Manning said, must move carefully. " and not be too hasty. Other Democrats, he suggested, were to be considered besides members of the club. General Klllfeather arose, and oratory flowed from his mouth. Corruption, he declared, would be driven from the City Hall were Lane elected, nor would Colo nel Hawkins have in him a curio for the City Museum. The General then pro ceeded to boom C. A. Petraln for Mu nicipal Judge. That gentleman responded by saying that he had an idea of entering the race, but had not yet made up his mind. John H. Stevenson, political writer for the Evenfng Telegram, was indorsed for CouncIlman-at-Large. " BOY SLASHES A CHDTAMAN. Prominent Corner Scene of Fight, but Assailant Dodges Policeman. An old, decrepit Chinaman was the vic tim of a brutal assault yesterday after noon by a boy who appeared to be about 14 years of age. It occurred on the corner of Washington and Sixth streets about i o'clock. The Chinaman was walk ing down the street, when he accidentally ran into the boy. The boy. who was a husky lad, imme diately attacked the Chinaman, who re sisted him. The alien was game, and Anally knocked his assailant -down and attempted to hold him until he. received aid. It is believed the boy used a knife on the Chinaman at that time, as he wa3 seen to reel back and stagger to his feet bleeding from several severe wounds. Hs face was a mass of blood, and. it looked" as though It had been lacerated with a knife. The boy apparently was uninjured, as he regained his feet and ran -away' as a policeman appered upon the scene. The officer first arrested the Chinaman, but there were so many spectators who said the boy had started the fight and was entirely in the wrong that he was turned loose. The officer then attempted to find the boy. but he had disappeared. The extent of. the Chinaman's wounds are not known, as he refused attention. When he walked away he seemed very weak because of the loss of blood. ' FIFTEEN" YEAES A LODGE Members of Upchurch, A. O. .U. W., Celebrate Anniversary.
