EFFECT MOST BEAUTIFUL It Surpasses tlie Expectations of Electricians, Pair Officials and . the Crowd WhlcirGathcred to "Witness Spectacle. A startling, enthralling and bewilder ing: tribute was paid to American elec trical genius last night when the lights were turned on at the Exposition grounds. "With the exception of the Government building and a few state structures all the buildings were in cluded in the magnificent electrical dis play. The effect surpassed even the utmost expectations of the electricians and the Fair officials. All those who wit nessed the display last night were unanimously of the opinion that the electrical arrangement of the Exposi tion in beauty and completeness is something never before equaled in Ex positions. - Tee buildings stood out bold and prominent as the electric lights were arranged so as to make a complete outline. The immense dome of the Agricultural building was particularly beautiful andentrancing as it was fair ly studded with lights. The Forestry building is as beautiful at night as in the daytime. The simplicity and uniqueness of its architecture was ex emplified and brougjit out by the lights which covered the' building. Part of the Trail Avas lighted and showed up to good advantage The Bridge of All Nations, which spans Guild's Lake, was fairly covered with lights which extended clear to the surface of the water. Along the rail ings the electric globes were stretched, the lights extending beneath the struc ture producing a new effect as they were reflected back by the water. In the lake In front of the terrace a few of the submarinlights were tried, producing golden and silver hues. "When the water was .disturbed by oars in the hands of the workmen who were on the lake In boats -it looked as though ihe water was afire and filled with sparkling gems. About 60;000 lights were turned on last night whfch is more than the total number of lights burned in the City of Portland. When all the wires have been connected there will be 100.000 lights in the display. It is hoped that by Monday the Government building and the few remaining state buildings will have been connected. The lights at the Exposition grounds were turned on at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon so as to give the electricians time to remedy any defects that might appear. However, the system seemed to be perfect. A few of the lights did not burn at first, but they were speed ily replaced by others. The circuit was shut off at 10 o'clock. The lights are turned on all at the same time by de grees and "it takes several minutes be fore the electricity is full force. LONG HORSEBACK JOURXEY. Two Men Would Ride From New York to Portland. Jack Minnick, the Texas cowboy, and "Will Rogers, the greatest trick roper in the world, who have recently created such a sensation in the Madison-Square Gar dens, in New York, through their thrilling feats of "Western horsemanship, want to attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and with thai idea in view have written to the Fair management stating they are anxious to make the trip from New York to Portland on horseback. Minnick and Rogers have Just completed their engage ment In New York, and Jn the communica tion to the Fair officials state that they have heard so much about the Exposition that they would like to attend. They say that they would rather ride to Portland on horses than travel on tha railroads. They have estimated that they can make the journey from New York to Portland in lcss than 90 days. If It is decided to have them come they will leave the "Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on their horses within a few days, so that they will arrive at the Exposition in August, when the Fair will be in full progress. It has been learned that the New York friends of the cowboys propose to give them a -big sand-oft when they leave for Portland. A banquet will be glx-en them at the Waldorf-Astoria Immediately beroro they start for the West. They will be attired In full cowboy dress and at every town they pass through they will stop long enough to acquaint the peo ple of the nature of their journey and their destination. Minnick and Rogers, af ter selecting their route and the nature of the country through which they will trav el, say that they can make on an average about 53 miles a day. They will ride their horses until they are thoroughly ex hausted, and then they will purchase new mounts, so as to minimize the delays they will have to experience. Fresh horses, or dered in advance, will be waiting for them t the different towns they pass through. Jack Minnick is one of the most wide ly known characters of the Southwest, and is said to be a personal friend of President Roosevelt, whom he met when the Chief Executive was on one of his hunting trips in Texas. Minnick Is famous as a rider, and Is said to be one of the best all-around shots in America. He also has gained considerable notoriety through bronco-busting, in which Jie has no su perior. The two cowboys ask that their expenses be paid, and the Fair officials are negotiating with them. FOR FAIR DAY JUNE 1. Mayor Williams Asks. All Citizens to Attend Opening. Mayor George H.

DRIGGS HIS NEW CHIEF Others for the' Places Made Vacant Have Not Been Announced, But Will. Be Shortly by tho New. Officer. Under the law. the positions of the office force of W. F. Matthews having expired simultaneously with the latter's removal from the office of United States Marshal, all were yesterday afternoon notified by Marshal Reed that their services wouid no longer be required, it being the intention of the new ap pointee to. Till their places -with men of his own selection. Mr. Reed 'stated last night that L. C Drlggs, a well-known local resident, would become his chief deputy, but outside of that he had not decided upon any other appointments. Drlggs has already had considerable experience In the office, and is consid ered eminently qualified to fill the' posi tion of chief deputy, having occupied the place for 12 years under various administrations. He was appointed first by United States Marshal John Myers in 1SS6, and served through the consecutlverterms of Myers. L. T. Barm and H. C vGrady. Since his retirement to private life lie has been engaged in the Teal estate and insurance business here. Thqse affected, by. Mr. Reed's action yesterday were Chief Deputy P. A. Worthington and' Deputies James "Wil son. Jacob Proebstel and L. N. Blowers. While considerably surprised, the fail ure of United States Marshal Reed to reappoint them was not entirely unex pected, all hands taking the matter as ni 1 1 nr,a rvta leal 1 v as possible under the REACH IT? Reed preferred to be surrounded by nien of his own selection. Three of the deputies who failed of reappointment have been long In the Government service. Of these, P. A. Worthington was appointed chief dep uty by Zoeth Howser when the latter took the oath of office December 7, 189t. Worthington served through Howser's administration and was reap pointed by W. F. Matthews, serving in the same capacity until yesterday. J. A. Wilson was also an office dep uty under Howser, retaining the place "when Matthews went In. Jacob Proebstel has also seen consid erable service, having been appointed by Howser and retained by Matthews, while L. N. Blowers was comparatively new, having been appointed about a year ago to the position made vacant by the resignation of A. A. Roberts. Breathing of the Hindoos. Dr. EmilyNoble, of San Francisco, lec tured last night before the members- of the Portland Camera Club. DrC Noble first thought of giving an Illustrated lec ture on India, but, owing to the lantern being out of repair, she gave an informal talk instead on the breathing of the Hin doos. Dr. Noble declared that she visited India and took with her something like six tons of machinery, for the purpose of studying diseases, but she declared that she found the 'natives knew better how to stay well than Caucasians knew, how to get welL The lecturer declared that breathing was the secret of life, and that the Hindoo, and. In fact, all of the Orientals, saade & study ami an art of breathing. The Hindoo. Dr. Noble declared, had a saying that to breathe wholly Is to he wholly alive, and to half breathe was to be only half alive. The .mistake the people make. declared the doctor, was that In breathing most persons used the upper part of ae lungs c-nly, when. In fact, they should breathe with the stomach and upward, using tho lower lobes of the lungs as well as the upper lobes. Master Van Winkle sang a solo before the lecture began.

MANY SIGN THE DOCUMENT District Not So Iarge as Was at First "Reported in Which It Is De signed to Stop Liquor, Sales by tho Initiative. Petitions bearing the names of 3144 voters In the City of Portland were filed with the City Auditor yesterday afternoon by those interested in the movement to close saloons in the vicin ity of the Exposition. The petitions and the proposed ordinance will be submitted to a special meeting of the Council to be held at 10 o'clock this morning, at which many of the sup porters of the measure will be In at tendance. To eecure proper consideration by the Council, it-was necessary that tne petitions have at least 2250 names of voters, but the backers of the move ment deemed it advisable' to be on tho safe side, and secured 3144 signatures. Several more petitions are still out among workers, and these it is expect ed will have' about 200 more names, which may be added to those already In the hands of the Auditor before th Council meeting this morning. Special efforts have been made to secura names, the eligibility of which Is be yond question, and those who hav been circulating the papers believe that a very small percentage will be thrown out. Even .to defeat the purpose at the petition, it would be necessary. to throw out dne name out of every threi, and this Is deemed highly jmprobable. The Council "will, meet at 10 o'clock, and receive the petition. Unless some thing unforseen occurs, the proposed ordinance will be ordered submitted to the voters at the election to be held on June 5, In accordance with the provi sion of the Charter. It has been ru mored that efforts-will be made to.hav the Council sidetrack the measure In some way. but this Is also deemed Im probable by those in charge of the movement I would like to have It understood that we are not putting the prohibition line a halt mile from the Fair grounds." said E. O. Miller yesterday, one of those active In the circulating of the petitions. "The grounds extend to Twenty-fourth street on the east, and to Thurman street on the south, and we simply went two blocks further in both cases, to Twenty-second street on the east and to Raleigh street on the south. It does not seem to me that this is very unreasonable. "Other great fairs have been with out saloons at the entrances, and" the Lewis and Clark Exposition should be likewise. People who have been at the Eastern expositions would soon notice how the liquor traffic was carried on "right In the gates of our Fair. This certainly would be an undesirable con dition. "I do not have much doubt but that public opinion will secure the passage of the proposed ordinance when it comes to the vote, I believe that the majority of ,men In the city will vote favorably for the measure and secure the abolition of the objectionable places." If the proposed ordinance Is carried by the people at the June election. 23 saloons "will be put out of business. Of this num ber, 12 have been estaDiisnca ior more than six months, some even for 15 or 16 years. The remaining 11 have been estab lished this year, apparently. It Is claimed by the persons- interested In the ordinance, for the Exposition trade only. The names and locations .of the saloons follow: John Engelhardt. 7i3 Savler, opened In 1SS9.

'" City Offenders Before Municipal Judge Hogue Four saloonkeepers were before Judge Hogue yesterday, charged with having kept open their establishments on the day of the primary election. Each was ready with an excuse, more or less laugh able. One was sick and sitting in the front door of his saloon, awaiting the arrival of a physician. Another was so accommodating to his tenants that he opened his saloon "door to let them in, that they might get their mall. Still another had a plumber in his esH tabllshmcnt. Installing a ,new beer pump, and the fourth was confronted by twd men so thirsty that to deny them a drink would have been cruel and Inhu man. All but one of the defendants were dis charged, but each was told he must never again be guilty, even of technical viola tion of l&w. J. Fuog's saloon, Taylor street, between Front and First, was found open by Pa trolman Wendorf. who had been to In vestigate A. Anderlini's establishment. "What does this mean?" asked Wen dorf of Fuog, who was seated In the front door of his establishment. "Why,k I'm sick and am awaiting for the doctor to come," was the calm reply. "Well, you can't keep your saloon open today," said Wendorf. "Will you close, or not?" "I'll close," said Fuog, and he did so immediately. Judge Hogue and Deputy City Attor ney Fitzgerald thought Fuog was not guilty of a very serious offense; he had never been before the court previously, and he was dismissed, with thev admoni tion to be careful In the future. At A. Anderlini's saloon. Second and Taylor streets, Wendorf found what ap pealed to him as a peculiar state of af fairs. The front door was closed, but the rear door was open. He entered, and found what appeared to be a barber shop. In fact, he was Informed by a. man who was there that it was such. "I walked a little farther," said Wen dorf, In telling of the case, "and found a curtain. I lifted It, and saw two men standing at the bar, being served by a bartender. 'Wat is the meaning of this? I asked." - "These two men came in here so thirsty that they could not live longer without a drink, 'and I 'gavethem a drink," was the reply. Anderllni stood on his splendid record of many years, showed he had never be fore been in any trouble, and his case was dismissed. Patrolman Croxford, who holds down an Albina beat on the day shift, testified thaf he found the door of G. Schmidt's saloon. Delay near Sellwood street, open on primary day.' "I keep roomers," said Schmidt, In his owp defense, "and that day several of them wished to get their mall. It was in the saloon, and I opened the door to let them In. No liquor was sold."

Is the Great Seure of tha Power to Inspire and Encourage -AH "Women Should Seek It. One of the most noted, successful and richest men of this century, in a recent article, has said, " "Whatever T am and whatever success I have attained in. this world I owe all to my wife. From theday I first knew her she has been an inspiration, and the greatest help mate of my life." To be such a successful wife, to re tain the love and admiration of her husband, to inspire him to make the most of himself, should be a woman's constant study. If a woman finds that her energies are flagging, that she gets easily tired, dark shadows appear under her eyes, she has backache, headaches, bearing down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg ularities or the blues, she should start at once to build up her system by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. Following we publish y request a letter from a young wife : Dear Mrs . Pinknam : " Ever since my child was born I have suf fered, as I hope few women ever haxa, with in flammation, female weakness, bearing-down pains, backache and wretched headaches. It affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made mea well woman, and I feel so grateful that I am glad to write and tell you of my marvelous recovery. It brouefet me health, new life and vitality." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley, 611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash. ..What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every sick and ailing woman. If you have symptoms you don't un derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and always helpful. arrangement might be made relative to the delivery of mail In that establishment, and was inclined to impose a little fine, judging from his attitude for awhile However, llr. Fitzgerald stated that Schmidt had always conducted a good resort; had never been in any trouble, and It would be a good policy for the city to encourage such saloonkeepers. Hence the dismissal of the Schmidt charge. And then came H. Breiter, who "has a saloon at Russell street and Mississippi avenue. Patrolman Croxford found men In that place, drinking. Breiter explained that the only men he had there were plumbers. They had been Installing a beer pump. He thought he was well within 'the law, he said, but, he was fined $15. "I do not feel like asking for heavy fines against these men." said Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. "They have obeyed the law pretty well for many years, and have run orderly places. As a matter of fact, the most violations of the primary-closing law were by persons who gave away liquor from blacksmith shops and such places. Many complaints were made to me, but as the law applies only to saloonkeepers, I had no way to get at the violators. As a general rule, the saloonmen kept the law well primary day." ' A. J. Bartlett 'can thank Detective Snow for his release from a charge of vagrancy. Bartlett was arrested by Detective Snow several days ago, and a charge of vagrancy" was placed .against him. He was discharged yesterday, when brought before Judge Hogue. It developed that Bartlett, who is a young fellow, is a member of the Cigar makers' Union, and was able to secure work here at his trade. At first he was suspected of the theft of a watch, which was found in his possession, but he ex plained that to Judge Hogue and .Deputy District Haney by the statement that he purchased It from an unknown man, "for the price of a feed." S. Hanicf, who was arrested by Patrol man Roberts on a warrant Wednesday, was dlcharged from custody when brought before Judge Hogue yesterday.
