i THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, SATURDAY APRIL 1, 1905. 11 N K ICE Evangelists Carry Cross to North End. EXHORT ALL TO REPENT Preach and Sing in the Noto rious Resorts. CROWD MAINTAINS ORDER Fritz's Concert Hall, Erickson'n and Blazler's Visited by Crusaders Who A6k Their Hearers to Change Mode of Life. Fritz theater and concert hall was the principal attraction of the revivalists- last nlffht. They also -visited ErlcTcson's and Blazler's, but the real gathering in the North End was In the first-named place. Bev. V. E. Blederwolf and Harry Maxwell were the entertainers at Erickson's for. a few minutes. Mr. Maxwell sang a solo and Rev. Mr. Bied erwolf g?ve a short address to the habitues of the place. Immediately following the talk at Erickson's the evangelists moved to the large stage at Fritz, and while the burlesque waited and the ' audience Rev. VT. E. Biederwolf at Erjckson's Last Nlsht. '- , 1 quaffed the beer the Rev. Mr. Schaef fer exhorted them to repent' and fol low in the footsteps of Jesus. At Fritz' place the first number upon the programme was a song by Harry Maxwell, entitled "The Days of Long Ago." . He followed this with a few words of encouragement to the audi ence of mon and women, and then the preacher came forth to speak. Mr. Schaeffer's remarks did not seem to have much effect upon his listeners, for whon he had completed his address he asked all those that desired the prayers of the evangelists to raise their hands. One lonesome-looking negro raised his hand, and all the persuasion of the preacher could not budge a finger. Harry Maxwell took the cue. and as soon as the preacher tired of his ef forts to secure converts, arose and in a few simple words convinced' the large audience, that he was in earnest, as a result of which when he asked for a showing of hands nearly every man present told by his action that he was willing to hrive the evangelists pray for him. The visit of the evangelists was a diversion for the patrons of Mr. Fritz and resulted in quite an Increase in trade, but still there was that feeling of sacredness among the crowd that when Harry Maxwell asked them to remove their hats e-very man present responded and every one gave his un divided attention to the sermon. AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL Dr. Ostrom Delivers Sermon on "A Broad Religion. At 6:80 o'clock the crowds were wait ing outside of the doors of tHe First Congregational Church last night to enter and hear Evangelist Ostrom. Despite the fact that this man had already preached two sermons and that yesterday had been a day of exceptional effort, he appeared on the platform as fresh and sparkling as though this was his first address for the Say. Dr. Oslrom's subject was, "A Broad Religion," and it proved to be one of the most powerful and productfve discourses he has yet given. In his introductory remarks he said that the evangelists were not novices, and that they had not come to Portland to make reputations, but that they were here because the pastors and Christian people of this city were united in their desire to see It shaken to its depths spiritually, and because they believed that they had been called of God to this field. Treating the subject of "A Broad Religion," he said in part: "What sort of a man would suit you? The one who shouts his company through the smoke of battle and the jaws of death, to, vic tory, and with the same stentorian tones approaches the bedside of his dy ing mother, or the one who leads his company with loud shouts 'of commands, but by the bedside is as tender, as gentle, as quiet as a woman? Which is the broader man, the one who lias room in his being for a spirit that will cause bis eye to moisten and his lip to .quiver, or the one so hide-bound In selfishness that no flood of emotion may break through his reserve?" Noon-Day Closing of Stores. in every town that the revivalist visit the merchants are asked to close "their places of business for a few hours, for the effect that such action may have upon the balance of the people. The same plan will be followed in Portland, but when the enthusiasts jour neyed about the town yesterday asking that all places- of business be closed be tween the hours of 11 A. M. and 2 P. M. they were met with, flat refusals. After some parley on the part of the preachers It was decided to ask only for the noon hour and the more prominent merchants quickly met them half way. The stores of the city will be closed next "Wednes day at 13 o'clock and will reopen at 1 P. 3JU and during thls..hpur the clerks wllli fiave an opportunity of listening to the preachers as well as get their lunch and attend to what business they may have. ' INVADE BLAZIER'S RESORT. Evangelist Stough Gives Plain Talk In the Hesoj-t. The evangelist; invaded Blazier's re sort on Bumeide street about 10 o'clock last night. They were anticipated, and the saloon and adjoining rooms were full of a cosmopolitan crowd. After a short musical programme the people were ad dressed by Evangelist Stough, who spoke to the h&rd-heartcd men and shameless women of the North End straight from the shouldor. He illustrated his teach ings" with appropriate stories, and the feature of his work, likowise its whole strength, wa3 In the fact that he talked to the men and women there In their own language, talked to -them in the lan guage of the slums, called a spade a spade, told the people just what they were, and explained without any longthy reflection on the waywardness of their lives, that they were leading lives they knew were not happy. "You get up late and come down here and drink and consort with men you have never- seen bofore." he said to the women. "I have not come "here to scold you. I am telling you facts. You go home tonight tired out. You do not feel at ajl contented, happy. You even feel tlrod .put and 111. And you know why. Aside from the immorality, you aro not leading the kind of a life conducive to health and happiness, ,and you know it. It is not only the Immorality; it is the outrage against nature There in 'a. way out. It is the way of the cross." "When Evangelist Stough had finished speaking the audience cheerod him,' and then ordered another round of drinks. "We'll think about -what you said." one hard-faced. customer remarked. "That's on the square, pardner. You didn't tell, 'us we were going to hell once. You just give facts." Evangelists .in Nine Districts. The meetings of the evangelists In the nine districts last Inght were attended by the usual crowds, and at several of the churches a number of the pledge cards were signed and a few came to the al tar to ask for the prayers of the evangelists. The singing of the soloists in all the churches continues to be the feature of the meetings, and it is difficult fer many of them to retire without respond ing to an encore. Salvationists Will Hold Rally. At the Salvation . Army Hall. 12S First street. Evangelist Thomas Xeedham and Clifton Powers, the singer, will conduct a great praise and song service this even ing at S o'clock.

McComb will give his renowned lecture on "Jerry McCauiey" in the same hall. Evangelists at the Marquam. The gathering of the evangelists at the Marquam yesterday was not so large as. upon previous days, but the enthusiasm of the other days was not lacking. Rev. H. W. Stough preached the sermon and the singing was lead by W. H. Cblllsson. His solos were much enjoyed and the au dience seemed to take as much interest in the singing under his leadership as the evangelists. Talks to the "Worklngmen. Rev. Charles Stelzle has addressod the workmen in several of the machine shops and factories during the past week upon the relation of the church to the work inmen and today at noon will speak-to the men in the Southern Pacific car shops.

The Ave members of the Governor's party are Rudolph Kuch- GOVERNOR OF UTAH, WHO UTAH LEWIS AND 'CL wmm JOHN C. ler, Wesley' Walton, F. W. Fishburn, M. F. Cunningham and Spencer Clawson. The Governor, accompanied by the Lewis and Clark officials and his party, visited the grounds yesterday. When they were shown the site that 'had been saved for them, they were enthusiastic On returning to the Hotel Portland in the afternoon they decided that "Utah could be best represented by a creditable state building. The Governor considers the space that has been reserved as one of the most desirable locations on the grounds. His companions arc also of the same opinion. It Is planned to erect a building 100 feet long and 85 feet wide. The lower floor will be devoted to exhibition pur poses. The second story of the building will be divided off into reception rooms, The building will cost about 515,000. The nlnns miH nrvrlflrfttIons of thfl buildinc will be drawn as soon as the party re- I turns to Salt Lake. It Is not believed that any difficulty will bo experienced In having the structure completed and the exhibits installed In time for the opening of the gates. One of the most important features of tho Utah State building will be an annex which will contain a concentrator that will bo in actual operation during the Exposition. The concentrator by Itself wilt" cost at least 510,000, and will be one of the most novel exhibits of the entire Fair. Four men will be required to operate it. It will show the process of refining gold, silver and copper from the time the crude ore is turned in and comes oul refined. The rocks containing minerals will first be crushed and then the differ" ent ingredients will be separated, all within tne view of the visitors a,t the Exposition. After the valuable minerals come out in a refined state small por tions of the gold, silver and copper will be placed in vials and distributed among: the visitors. The ore to be used In the concentrator will come from Utah mines. Only the mines paying divi dends will be asked for ore. The con centrator complete will weigh 40,000 pounds. There will also be a collec tion of the- different ores and minerals mined In Utah. To the front of the proposed build ing there Is a gradual slope of the ground to the water. This will be de voted to landscape gardening. Lom bardy poplars will be planted. Sego lilies, the Utah state flower, will also be transplanted.

On the testimony of two former employes- of the defunct fetorey Cotton Company,--Stanley Francis, accused of being one of the pro motors and directors' of the concern, was today remanded for trial by United States IS IN PORTLAND WITH ARK COMMISSION CUTLER. Commissioner Craig with bail fixed at 550.000. The original charge against Francis was using the mails for fraudulent purposes, and he was arrested at the instigation of the postal authorities. The two important witnesses against him wore Miss Mar garet Hope, a stenographer, and Miss Gertrude Sundhcim, a bookkeeper, who gave testimony which the commission held to be sufficient to convince that the defendant was party to a conspiracy to defraud. James It. Clark, an expert accountant employed by counsel for Senator Brad ley of Camden, receiver of the Storey Cotton Company, testified concerning his examination of the company's books. He based his testimony on the examination of the cash book, which he said, con tained an entry of 5200.301 as received from cotton investments, which was the only Indication in the book of any in vestments b the company. A statement of the concern's business, showing as sets of 5700,000, was produced by United States District Attorney Thompson, and after examining It, the witness said there was nothing In the cash book to show such assets. Tho book did show, how ever, that the company had lost 51.17S, 417, but there was no indication that the sum was lost In cotton transactions. Sev eral additional witnesses testified that they had lost money intrusted to the com pany for investment. Counsel for Franols argued that the Government had failed to show that he was connectetT""wlth the Storey Cotton Company In any other capacity than that of an employe, and asked for his dis charge. The Commissioner, however, sent, the prisoner to tho county prison. Informations Are Filed.

'"r.-- TEXANS AND FAIR Lone Star State Will Be Represented, NOVEL RAILWAY ADVERTISING Spelling Bees Will Be Held, and Those Fortunate Enough to Win Will Receive Free Transpor tation to Exposition. A. A. Glisson, of Fort "Worth, Tex., general passenger agent of the Fort "Worth & Denver City Railway, Is In Portland looking over tho Lewis and Clark Exposition and gathering informa tion to tako back to his state so that the Fair can be more thoroughly adver tised. Mr. Glisson has taken a great in terest in the Exposition. He says the Fort Worth & Denver City will devote as much advorUsIng- to the Lewis and Clark Fair as any railroad in the United States. "The people of thd Southwest are great travelers and pleasure-seekers," said Mr. Glisson at the Commercial Club yester day. They travel a great deal in the Summer months, as the weather in that section of the country is very warm and depressing at that time of the year. For years these pleasure-seekers have been vlsiUng the noted Summer resorts in -the United. States. Colorado has beerf the chief center of attraction. Over half the transients In Denver and the Colo rado resorts In the Summer are from Texas and the neighboring states. "But the people are getting a little tired of the same thing year after year and want something new. The Exposi tion attracts their attention to this coun try and they will flock to Portland this Summer instead of going to Colorado or up In the Northern States. The Yellow stone Park In my estlmaUon will prove a strong factor in bringing visitors to PorUand If they are from the East they can take in the park Either going or coming. Need a Diversity. "Wo realize that tho Texans need di version In Summer attractions as well as other things, so we are going to make an especial effort to swing passenger traffic this way. "We are about to Inaug urate an advertising crusade in tho In terest of the Exposition which will cost us thousands of dollars. "We will do more advertising for this ExposiUon than we did for the St. Louis Fair. "In the first place,, we have contracts with over 200 newspapers In Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Louisiana and Texaa for regular spaoe. This space will all be devoted to the Portland Fair. Then we have just ordered an immense lot of Representative Rudolph Kuohler, Treasurer. fry rtaij . If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reason able amount- of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tenctp one's improvement jn cases of constipation, biliousness, headaches, etc. It is all-important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one or known quality and excellence, like the ever pleas ant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effect ually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simpjy assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripmg, irritating, or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious natvre. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manu facture of Syrup of Figsxare known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approvals a family laxative, a fact well worth con sidering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRDP F FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists and that full name of the company California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on every package. Regular price, 50c rtun&isco 15-sheet stand-posters which will be post ed In 106 towns in the territory em braced by our lines. Will Hold Spelling Bees. "But our principal advertising feature will be the inauguration of a Lewis and Clark "spelling bee." We expect this method to be very fruitful. We wilt se lect' about 50 newspapers In the leading cities In Texas and tho surrounding states, which will hold separate contests. Each of the papers will announce that flnt and second winners in the "spelling bee" contest will receive "prizes. "The first prize will be a round-trip ticket to Portland and the second prize qffered will be a ticket to Colorado. W will so arrange that each paper will "see that contests are held In all tho small surrounding- towns. The winners of the contests held in the suburbs and the small towns will meet in the olty'of the paper which is conducting the 'spelling bee. The winners of this final contest receive the tickets. The supplementary contests will be held so that the outly ing districts from the large cities will be covered. "The fact that these coa tests will be held will be played up and advertised In the newspapers which are interested, for fully two months before they come off. The papers will print halftone illustra tions of the Lewis and Clark Fair and a great deal of reading matter will be devoted to it. There are 4.000,000 people in Texas alone. By the means of these 'spelling bees we expect to Impress vividly upon the minds of at least half of them tho fact that your Fair will be the most unique and successful Exposition that has ever been held In the United States. Many Texans Will Come. "Oner of "the very best advertising fea tures of the 'spelling beea will Be that the 50 contestants who come to the Fair will have to act as correspondents of the papers from which they obtained the tickets. They will hava to agree to write back each week a lonK letter to the pa pers telling of tho Exposition and of what they may see on the trip. These letters will be published in the different papers. We expect to have all of Texas out here. "Many will come In parties. The Texas Bankers' Association is coming to Port land 150 strong in a Bpecial train. The 160 members of the association will be accompanied by their wives and families. There are other organizations that are thinking of making the trip, so you can e that quite a little Interest has been manifested already. "We're a long way off from Oregon, but we Texans are com ing, Just the same." Children Give Programme. The parents of the children enrolled at the South Mount Tabor School .met In the school building last evening to listen to school exercises. There were about COO parents and children present. A very pleasant programme was glvon by the pupils, which consisted of Instrumental and vocal music and reading. Refresh ments were served by the older girl pu pils. The school was beautifully decorat ed with flowers and growing plants. A GUARANTEED CURE POR PILES.
