Matters were comparatively quiet among the churches yesterday, the many visiting- clergy who occupied pul pits last week having left Portland. Music in churches of all denominations Is keeping" up to a better standard than Is usual for Summer seasons, and will probably continue to do so through the Exposition period, as the many strang ers in town make attendance un usually large. St. Patrick's Church enjoyed t-he dis tinction of having the finest soloist in church circles yesterday. Miss O'Brien, of New York, singing Gounod's "Ave Maria." Miss O'Brien, who has a deep contralto of unusual strength and rich ness, is soloist In the choir of the fam ous St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. She will be In Portland several weeks and will probably be heard at St. Patrick's, Nineteenth and gavier streets, each Sunday during1 her visit. Father E. P. Murphy administered first communion to a class of 19 at the morning service, afterward preaching a special sermon on: "Drunkenness; the Besetting Sin of the Day." This class, which will be confirmed in the Autumn, had joined the total abstinence society of that church, and In commen dation of this the rector gave the dis course on the advantages oi a tem perance life. Gounod's Mass was sung, the choir doing splendid work with this masterpiece. Services at St. Mark's. The congregation of St. Mark's Epis copal Church listened to a fine sermon by Rev. W. P. Reed, of Idaho yesterday morning, who took his text from I. John 11: "If any man sin we have an advocate with the father. Jesus Christ, the righteous, and he is the propitiation for our sins." This sermon treated on the doctrine of the atonement, being a clear and healthful presentation of it. The music at St. Mark's is all provided by the congre gation and is a bit out of the ordinary. Rev. J. E. H. Simpson, the rector, de clares It to be the finest in the city and Invites strangers to visit his church. "The Message of Liberal Religion to the Wise and Prudent." was the sub ject of a most able discourse by Dr. Georce Croswell Cressey. pastor of the First Unitarian Society. Dr. Cressey's topics and his treatment of them differ essentially from those or otner uenora Inations and aro especially Interesting to scholars and thoughtful people. The quartet choir, under the leadership of Mrs. Frank Raley, rendered a fine mu sical programme yesterday and during: the Unitarian conference will present special music Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Memorial Services Held. KniRhts of Pythias memorial services were held at the Taylor Street Methodist Church last night. Rev. F. Burgette Short delivering the sermon. The large church was crowded and the sen-ices were most Impressive. Dr. Short's morn ing sermon was on "The Oughtness of Prayer." Dr. Cummlngs, who Is direct ing the choir of this church, provides fine music each Sunday, yesterday having Miss McClosky, of San Francisco, as soloist. This contralto is one of the best known soloists In the Bay City, and her rendition of "Abide With Me" delighted yesterday's congregation at the Taylor Street edifice. Rev. W. H. Gilbert, pastor of Calvary Presbyterian Church, delivered an elo qucnt sermon Sunday morning on "The Salvation of Faith," the pulpit being oc cupied in the evening by Rev. Mr. Schauer, of the German Evangelical Church. The choir numbers were es pecially good yesterday. Miss Edwards, a visiting contralto of Newbcrg. singing a pleasing number. Next Sunday Holy Communion will be administered. Second Sermon of Scries. At the First Congregational Church Dr. E. L. House gave the second of a serlos of sermons on five of the world's great religious naintlngs. Da Vinci's "Last Supper" was chosen for last night's dlt" courso and the speaker was able to draw many well placed thoughts from the groat masterpiece. The members of the con gregatlon held copies of the picture to which they referred as" each point was made. Great interest centers around this series, and Dr. House is the recipient of many congratulations for Inaugurating a Sunday night service which proves at once instructive and entertaining. At the White Temple yesterday morn ing there was only standing room left. This church now makes a special point of decorations, and the masses of ferns and pottea plants usea mis &unaay were much admired. Dr. J. W. Brougher preached in the morning on "Is Christ Coming Soon?" and in the evening on "A Sunday Afternoon Walk Shall We Go to the Fair?" The young people's evening service is now being made a special feature and from 6:80 to 7 P. M. each Sunday there is a reception for strangers. Several .nun dred availed themselves of this means of meeting the young folks of the church and remained to the half hour meeting which preceded the evening sermon. Last night there was baptismal services, three young men receiving these rites. The special music was very fine. Talked to the Graduates. Last evening Rev. G. A.

Assistant Postmaster 25 Years. SEATTLE. June 25. Special. -W. j. Coikett. Assistant Postmaster at Seattle, celebrated the 25th anniversary of his appointment to that office last week. Mr. Coikett was made Assistant in the post office under O. J. Carr immediately after his graduation from the state university, the town then having a population of 3000 and the place paying J3S annually In salary. Seven postmasters have retained him. Mr. Coikett was the first man to arrod uate from the state university and he married a classmate. Miss Clara B. Lon-bard National Government in Interpreting the laws are more so. These faults are due, as a rule, not to the immigration Inspectors, but to the laws themselves. Government officials whose duties have made them, famllfcir with the matter are generally of the opin ion that the laws necji simplification, and should be freed of a lot of unreasonable requirements, though the officials aro reti cent to express themselves to newspaper representatives. Appointment of a commission by the President to look into the difficulty and find a solution meets with favor n Port land, as well as in Washington. The sug gestion comes from Wr. D. Wheelwright, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. The problem for the commis sion would be to devise an exclusion sys tem which would grant free access to this country for high-grade Chinese, yet still keep out coolies, thereby warding off the boycott threatened against American trade In China. The Chinese contend that the exclusion system as enforced Is in violation of treaty stipulations. On ac count of the rigid enforcement of the ex clusion policy, not only Chinese laborers, but Chinese merchants, travelers and stu dents are subjected to Its harsh operation. But a man who has an acquaintance with the exclusion laws probably as ex tensive as any person in Portland said yesterday that that was only one source of the trouble, and that another source was the desire of the Chinese to have their countrymen in America, notwith standing the professed, willingness of the Chinese upper classes to see laborers shut out of the United States, Big Wages a Factor. "Chinese want their countrymen here." said he, "because of the Wg wages they can earn In America, and the money they can send back to their native country. They do not like to see their countrymen rejected at our shores and imprisoned and humiliated and deported as unfit to enter our boundaries. The Chinese are begin ning to think themselves Just as good a grade of human flesh as any since the Japanese have driven Europeans out of Manchuria, and we shall see a conscious ness of superiority growing with them from now on." This opinion of the Chinese Indigna tion was echoed by several other au thorities. One of them pointed out that tho exclusion laws deny all Chinese save native born access to the courts. and that their only redress could come from an appeal from an Inspector to the Department of Commerce and Labor, whose decisions naturally fol lowed the rules laid down by that de partment and observed by the Inspector from whom tho appeal was made. This denial of access to the courts Is characterized by persons familiar witn the law as a feature very objectionable to the Chinese. Celestials arriving from the Orient must eo to jail if not ad mitted by the Inspectors. However, but few Chinese have sought admission at this port in the last two years and the busiest ports of entry are Port Townsend and San Francisco. Should an intelligent Chinese, really entitled to land, suffer the smallest flaw in his certificate of admission, he must be detained and compelled to suffer humiliation, which he resents deeply. Object to Rulings. Chinese object to rulings of the de partmcntt; which have directed the ex elusion policy, quite as much as to the laws; Indeed, -the rulings are ir tually laws, themselves supplementing me statutes, it nas Deen neia mat urn nesc students, whom the laws are In tended to admit, cannot enter tne United States for the purpose of study 'nr the English language but to study the lilgner branches of learning: therefore they must be able to speak English if they would secure admission. Cnlnese ask If American students in China would consider the same require raent from the Chinese government as reasonable. A Chinese merchant has been held at Sumas two weeks seeking readmis slon to the United States, though he has lived 23 years at Paget Sound and is one of Seattle's wealthiest Chinese mercn&ntx. He has made six trips to and from China, each time returning to this country without molestation and hindrance from the Customs Off! cers or the Inspectors. Recently a party ot Highly-cultured Chinese, seeking ad mission through an Atlantic port suf fered the same- kind of detention and humiliation. AVhat the Law Provides. The law provides that no Chinese la borer can return to the United States un less he has In this country" a wife, child or parent, or $1000 worth of property or debts due him to that amount It was pointed out yesterday by an authority on the exclusion laws that should Andrew Kxn, of one of Portland's foremost Chl nte merchants, go to China on a visit and while absent suffer failure of his business here, he could not come back. And a case was cited of two Chinese once returnlnsr to Port Townsend. turned away and denied admission because the steamship on which they were making the voyage was delayed and brought them to Port Townsend three days after the limit allowed by law for their re turn. The Chinese had to go back to China, though they had rpent many years in this country The law as it stands, aims to let in Chinese mercnants. students and travelers without delay but owing to the many frauds attempted by Chinese to gain ac cess to this country the Immigration Bu reau is extremely searching its examina ttons. This make all the trouble and brings all the protest. The best way to obviate this difficulty seems to be to make the examination of the privileged visitors on the China side of the Ocean and to put that duty in the hands of the Immigration Bureau. In that way no Chinese would start on the voyage to America unless he were en. titled to enter or without a certificate which would gain him admission. This examination of Cblneso visitors is supposed to be made now In China by the Diplomatic Service, for the law re quires .every merchant or traveler or student or teacher, coming to this coun- . tar, to brine a certificate from the Chi' unscathed. One day, soon after the two detachments had gone Into camp here, so the story goes, the Russian soldiers, peeping can tiously above their breastworks, saw s long line of Japanese soldiers emerge from their trenches and in single file ad vance on a hut In the center of the village, in a line almost as straight as the bird files. Suspecting some novel stratagem, a cou ple of Russian sharpshooters raised their rifles and prepared to. open fle. when sev eral of the Japanese pulled out from their pockets white handkerchiefs, which they began to wigwag above their heads in a most eloquent manner. The Russians ceased firing, but kept watching the Japa nese out of the corners of their eyes until they saw the entire line disappear within the doorway of a little hut. They saw them return, too, and during the next day the performance was repeat ed from the, Japanese trenches several times. Finally, some of the Russians. watching their opportunity and under cover of night, ventured out to investi gate, iney had their reward the kind that comes In bottles. From jbat time on the Chinese dispenser Z strong drink was a made man. His place was advertised far and wide throughout the most advanced lines on both sides, and soon became a favorite resort where friend and foe met at odd times to forget their differences over a glass of Russian vodka or Chinese sakhl The fortunes-of war were discussed and the destiny of the two nations decided in the old familiar way, while animosities were entirely forgotten. The Russians had already learned to admire their an tagonlsts for their fighting qualities. They came to admire them more when they saw what an amount of liquor they could absorb. When the Russian soldiers rolled In happy forgetfulness under the tables the Japanese soldiers still managed to sit up. take notice and smile their Inscrutable smiles. It was too good to last. One night noncommissioned officer from the Japa nese camp yielded to the subtle qualities of the Chinaman's liquor. A Russian sol dier as a Joke, meaning merely to show the Japanese that he had made a show of himself, took all the money the little yellow man had in. his pockets. Then he left the place. But the Mikado's man followed him out into the night, and pursued him to the Russian lines. A few minutes later there appeared before the Captain of the com pany to which the Russian belonged very Indignant little Japanese soldier, who saluted and reported that he had been robbed at the "club:" The Russian offi cer was amazed. He did not know of the existence of the club. But he made an investigation, and upon learning that the story ot the Japanese was true, saw that his money was restored to him and sent a military guard to see him safely within his own lines. Profits of a Wolf IlnnU Duluth Herald. 'The prize wolf story of the season corn's from Ewen. Mich.," said A. D. Roth, of Grand Rapids. Mich. "About ten mile north of Ewen is a place where tte deer are supposed to be quite numerous. It was a sort of yard, so to speak, where the deer were wont to congregate in large numbers. James Colgin believed he could find wolves there. Partly to Investigate, but prepared for action, he went to the scene. Wolves were there, and they were raising havoc with the deer, as numerous carcasses testified. Colgin had a quantity of suet, which he cut up and distributed about the place. In each piece he placed some strych nine. The following day he returned to the place and found that five wolvc3 had taken the bait and died. This made him feel pretty good. But when he heard a pack howling near by. and coming In his direction, he made up bis mind that he might easily add to this number If he went about It in the right way. It so happened that he was but a short distance from a lake. He figured that tho deer would run out on the ice with the wolves in close pur suit. This is just what happeneJ, ac cording to Colgin's version of the af fair. The procession passed not more than 50 yards away and he opened fire. With a dozen well-directed shots from his repeater he dropped nine of the savage brutes, thus "saving the deer's "life. For each wolf Colgin received a bounty of $22, and he sold the hides for J6 each, making $28 for each of his 13 animals, or a total of $364 for his two days' work."

Browning and tho Chinese Poet Andrew D. White tells this story of Robert Browning. The poet one morn ing, hearing a noise in the street before his house, went to his window and saw a great crowd gazing at some Chinamen in gorgeous costumes who were Just leav ing their carriages to mount his steps. Presently they were announced as the Chinese minister at the Court of St. James and his suite.. A solemn presenta tion having taken place. Browning said to the Interpreter. "May I ask to what I am indebted for the honor of his ex cellency's visit?" The interpreter replied: "His excellency is a poet in his own country." Thereupon the two poets shook hands heartily. Browning then said: "May I ask to what branch of poetry his excellency devotes himself?" To which the interpreter answered: "His excel lency devotes himself to poetical enig mas." At this Browning, recognizing fully the comic element in the situation, ex tended his band most cordially, saying: "His excellency is thrice welcome; he Is a brother Indeed!"

Plnn to Keep AllTe the Humorist's Spirit. Reader Magazine. How often have the academic Informed us that Dickens was dead a forgotten tester a grotesque stylist-a gross exag gerator an outgrown incident! And now come the fast-growing society, the Dickens' Fellowship, branches of which have been established as far wot as Mlchlean and as far east as London. This is a Iea3ue of Dickens admirers, who believe In the beneficence of his influence and the continued charm of his wit. It costs very little to belong to .the fellowship, and an occasional dinner, with as much dissertation as menu, sums -up the obligation. Charming as is the idea, however, ana compli mented as we should be were we solicited for membership, yet It must be urged that In all likelihood it Is only we who talked Dickens In our childhood a child hood instituted well back In the middle of the past century that will feel any enthusiasm for the guild. We took Dick ens in then as inevitably as we did the XXIII Psalm, or Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg, and we made the great com pany of Dickens characters part and parcel of our acquaintanceship. Their speeches were our proverbs, we were witty with Dickens' quotations, and we estlmateu character by Dickens" stand ards. True, we have had some education in modern day psychological methods since, and may have changed our mental attitude, but. notwithstanding all that, our half-forgotten Dickens lore and our youth comes back with a pleasant rush at the mention of a Dickens Fellowship.

A city girl writes: "It is a fond dream of mine to become a farmer's wife and meander with him down life's pathway." Ah. yes. that Is a nice thing, but when your husband meanders off and leaves you without wood and. you have to meander up and down the lane pulling Splinters off the fence to cook dinner, and when you meander along in the wet grass In search of the cows till your shoes are the color of rawhide and your stockings soaked, and when you meander out across 20 acres of plowed ground with a club to drive the hogs out of the cornfield and tear your dress on the barb-wire fence, when you mander back home to the house, find that the billy goat has butted the stuffin out of your child and find the old hen with forty chickens In the parlor, you'll put your hands on your hips and realize that meandering is not what it is cracked up to be. Whistler as a Critic Harper's Weekly. A new Whistler story is told by friends of Miss Pamella Smith, the young Ameri can artist, who has made a reputation abroad by her original work in color and black and white. Miss Smith's designs, while they show uncommon imagination, are technically crude, and a friend of hers who knew Whistler was anxious to get his opinion of them. She took the portfolio of Miss Smith's illustrations to the painter and waited anxiously as Whis tler examined them. He looked over them carefully, and re marked gruffly. "She can't paint." Then be went through them again. "And t-he can't draw." A third time he looked, through the portfolio, pausing thoughtfully over each sketch. "But she doesn't need to." he concluded.
