Tho school re views the subjects required for county and Portland city certificates and the instructions arc largely In the form of lectures by the teachers on the subjects taught. St. Johns Is Improving Streets. Rog ers &. "Wlndle have started on the Im provement of Jersey street In St. Johns. It Is the beginning of extensive work along this line. This Improvement will cost S7500. The other streets to be Im proved at once are Burlington and Phila delphia, which will cost probably $10,000 more. This year the property owners of St. Johns will pay out about $25,000 for Improvement of streets In the main por tion of the city. So far there Is no op position to the improvement -of these streets on the part of property owners, who realize that to have a city they must have woll-paved streets, no matter what the cost. St. Johns' new charter contains the bonding act for streets, the same as the Portland charter. Her Injuries Prove Fatal. Mrs. Flor ence Smith, the woman who Jumped from the fourth-ntory window df the Good Samaritan Hospital Sunday night, break ing both her arms, dislocating her hips and breaking a 4eg. died shortly after 6 o'clock last night from her Injuries.

Well, all the people who could crowd into the Marquam seemed to, agTee that It cer tainly was. "It" was the opening per formance of Kolb and DHL the logical successors of Weber and Field, and their merry company In a tumultuous musical skit called "L O. U.M Southern California and San Fran cisco have been laughing at the humor of these two Dutch comedians for sev eral years, but never heretofore nave they appeared here. Now that they have come, however, they can stay Just as long; as they like and then come again. They are iar and away the best exponents of their particular brand of comedy now doing the joint star act. barring- possibly the Itodgers Brothers and even there one might find generous room for an arjruroent. They come here with a big company, equal in size and ability to most of the musical comedy organizations we have bad this year. The chorus is es pecially attractive, being- In the mass young; good-looking and graceful. The girls, alsp, sing up to tho musical show average and wear pretty, fresh-looking costumes. The first curtain had barely risen on the stage full of them until the audi ence was completely won and the way paved for the principals, who Justified all the hope Inspired by the dandy chorus. Along with a group of Interesting comedians the plans and specifications for a musical burlesque call for a prima donna who can warble soprano, and a tenor who Is at least passing fair with his top register notes. Both these participated in last night's performance to everybody's satisfac tion. Edith M3son, who has the role of "Ann." foster daughter to a circus proprietor, possesses a very sweet and sympathetic volco which argues for J self careful cultivation and intelligent handling. Thomas H. Persse, as the circus man. strangely enough, does the sentimental Btunt with Miss Mason. A. decided novelty, when one always anticipates a young; naval lieutenant, lie's gotten up as 5S and engrossed in his daughter. They make a splendid go of it, however, and their duets. "Dreaming" and "Iove a la Mode." Miss Mason's "Kate Carey," and Mr. Persse's "Ringmaster's Song" contribute real music to the nonsense show. You know, of course, we never ex pect anything which savors of plot or purpose In a burlesque; 'Twere impos-. stble. When we go to see it we want something light, frothy, more or less idiotic but funny, with music as a garnish. We got just that kind of a show in "L O. U." The Marquam management could not have selected a better Summertime attraction than Kolb and Dill for a four weeks' engagement. But to get back to our mutton. There are othr rattling good people In the com pany besides those named. There is Ben Dillon, who plays O'Rourke. the buffer, between the attenuated and the obese stars. He Is a comedian of excellent abil ity, who spares us the Infliction of making his Irishman a monkey. Will Cross, as the walking delegate, makes an effec tively humorous character out of his labor agitator. Two original numbers which add much to the success of the piece arc the New Zealand Pol Dance and "My Maori Maid." as done by Charlotte VIdot, with the assistance of the chorus. Miss VIdot was suffering with tonsi litls last night and hoc singing suffered slightly in consequence. About Kolb and Dill, again, they are funny enough singly or as a team to break up a drunkard campmceting. No use asking why you laugh at them or trying to repeat tholr jokes. No; for the sake of your friends don't undertake to tell the jokes you hear in "I. O. U." They are sorrowful things without "Ony" and "Iny." The skit as nearly as it can be analyzed is a travesty on labor unions and trusts. It Is full of Ideas that are clever and pertinent. It Is in three acts, begins at S:55 and Is over by 1L The best popular price at traction the Marquam ever offered. EmpivOTment Blanks for Children. The new employment Wanks and certifi cates required by the child labor law may be obtained from the secretary at the Juvenile courtroom In Judge Fraxer's chambers at the Courthouse entrance on Fifth street, from 12 to 1 P. M. Under the new law children under 14 and over 12 years of age may obtain permits for em ployment during vacation, but children over 11 and under 16 years of age re quire an age and schooling certificate. In cither case the child making application must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, who can certify as to the child's age. and must bring with him the em ployment ticket signed by the employer. The law places the power to issue the age and schooling certificates in the bands of the City Superintendent of Schools, but during vacation this authority has been delegated to the secretary of . the commission. Millie R, Trumbull. The pen alty for violation of any of the provisions of the law applies to both parent and employer. The law forbids all work for children under 16 years of age after 6 o'clock at night. Montavilla School Exercises.

Marie Gordon Juliet Marlon Barhyte Clarlsse.A Eleanor Haber No. "Nerves" isn't a melodrama; it Isn't ' a dramatization of the Dare and Do series; it's a comedy of the-short-times- , between-laughs type. The rain last night ! didn't keep the friends of the stock com pany at the Belaseo from seeing the per formance. True, the fundamentals of the Intricate plot have been seen before, but in "Nerves'" there are new complications and some good lines. It Is another wife whose half-whispered suspicion of an Innocent husband is magnified Into a falnting-spell shriek by the suggestion of her mother, who "wouldn't interfere for worlds." Of course, at the end of the third act it all comes right. Lucia Moore is the foolish young wife the author was thinking of. Eleanor Gordon as Madame Zephyr is a coquettish young widow with a rapid-fire tongue and extraordinary facial muscles. Virginia Brissac was recognized despite her grotesque make-up as the maid. Like the others, she also had "nerves," twitch ing ones. Clarence Montalne as the French con fectioner who has to stand for most of the abuse of the Injured husbands, real and imaginary, seems to fit Into the char acter part. The "candy march" of his j four rosy-cheeked candysellers had to be repoatod. Eugene Ormonde, the real hus band who comes close to having real trou ble. Is certainly a most purblind young Britisher, big voice and all. The scene showlLg-the shop of the erratic French man Is well worked up. "Serves" will hold the stage for the fifth week of the" stock company. : PENNY GIVES GJTY NAME i i COIX FLIPPED TO DECIDE FOR PORTLAND OX EXHIBITION. Original Piece or Money Which De termined Agninst Boston Is Here In Town. The penny that named the City of Port land Is in town and en exhibition at the cigar counter In the Oregon Hotel. It Is the property of Frank W. Pettygrove, of Seattle, district manager for the J. A. Folgcr Company, and the story of how it named Portland follows: In 1M, Mr. Pettygroves father took unto himself a wife, and started on a honeymoon Journey to Oregon, going In a sailing vessel around Cape Horn. He brought a cargo of goods with him, in tending to open up a store upon his ar rival. One Interesting feature, and one that shows how little Eastern people knew of the West at that time, la that Mr. Pettygrove. Sr., brought with him a large quantity of red paint, expeoting to sell It to the Indians to paint their faces. The bark Teuton, upon which the Jour ney was made, was a slow craft, and put in at Honolulu, a part of her cargo being for that DOrt. This maHo th Imirnv n. roost a year and a half In longth, and be- iviv me ucsunHiton was reaenca, tne first child was born to the Pettygroves. When Pettygrove reached the mouth of the Columbia River there was no pilot. The ship was sailed over the bar, after soundings had been made, and continued on up the river to where Portland now stands, the original destination of the party being Oregon City. Opposite what Is now Portland the skipper lound It Im possible to proceed further, owing to low water. Pettygrove conceived the Idea of building a city at the head of navigation. He broached the subject to A. L. Lovejoy, a member of the party from Massachu setts. From John Overton they purchased a claim where the business section of Portland now stands. The claim was purchased for f&J. It Is now worth thousands of times that sum. Here a city was laid out. In the woods. The time for naming it arrived. Lovejoy desired to name It Boston, after the most Important city In his state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most important city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to mean Boston, talis to mean Portland, the best two la three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Lovejoy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland It was. The younger Pettygrove still has the Identical penny, and would not take any amount of money for IL His father kept It for a pocket-piece, and It has been handed down to the son. who bears his father's name. It Is dated If, and Is one of those large, colas in vogue at that time, about the size of the quarter of the pres ent day. LIBRARIANS WILL MEET.

Brlgham, a prominent capital ist of Yamhill County, who has been "doing the Fair" the past week, took advantage of ' his opportunity to can vass the piano field Irr Portland with the object of securing a piano for the La. Fayette Opera-House. The result was the selection of a very handsome Chicker Ing Concert Grand piano at' Eilers Piano House. The handsome Instrument Is cased In rosewood and beautifully carved. Possessing this instrument, the La Fayette Opera-House can now accom modate the most celebrated and exact ing musical artists. For over eighty three years Chickering pianos have fig ured conspicuously In the leading musical events of the world. It Is the ptano of which the great composer Liszt said. "It Is perfect, superlatively perfect." Dur ing the past Winter, on the numerous occasions that tho most famous mu sicians of the present day appeared be fore Portland audiences, the Chickering was almost without exception the piano chosen to be used. It is also the piano which Mrs. Beatrice Dierke. Oregon's greatest and favorite pianist, uses and enthusiastically Indorses. Mr. Brlgham's selection of this lovely instrument will doubtless be applauded by the many patrons of the La Fayette Theater. Gumption Versus Gambling. PORTLAND. Or.. June 28. ITo the Bilter.) In rour editorial et the Stnh Ibsl. regardtsr the Fries, report, you express a doubt of whether the annual dividend ytem la the only correct method under which laauraaee should be written. I bee te quete A. J. FlltcrafC editor of the Life Insurance Cos rant, who eaya: "Looking backward ever SO years of American life Insurance record, the fact stands out prominently that the m pan ics which hare distributed anneal shares of surplus (or divWendi) te their peHeyheMere. have furnished the cheapest life Insurance." I also quote from Hen. W. A. Frteke. ex Life Iittur&are Cemmlssiener et Wiaceasin. as follows: "AH that is vicious In the con duct of the buslnese et life Insurance, ex travagant competition, exeesoive expense, etc. 1 chargeable te the deferred dividend contracts. All that Is seed equity, eeenemy. actual cost Is due te the annual dividend ac counting te peMcyhelders." - It la well known that MasAachuietts has the most perfect Ineurance laws of any of the slates, an all cempanlee chartered In that state must dlfCrtbute their surplus annually. The Boston Commercial et June 16 says that the Equitable trouble would be lrapesvible Is Massachusetts, and the late Jacob Green c&2 others have long and earnestly condemned the qeestlonabie practice of accurautatlosf of unnecessary surplus. The kingdom ef Prui tta years are rsfused te Heense the three "iclanta te do business In that kingjem un der this system, and aHewed ese ef them te re-enter under many etrtcjrent coadltiens, ene of them being that "only annual dividend policies can be Issued In Prussia." As it Is Impossible te tell at the begtnatng of the year the amount ef death asd expense funds necesrary to safely conduct the busi ness through the year, a maximum is charged under the legal reserve tables, but at the end of the year the amount that has brva used Is known exactly, and in a ceiMerva tlve company there Is a eurpte left which Is credited te each polfey. thus giving back aay portion of the premium net aetuaMy needed. On the other hand, the deferred dividend eya tem withholds this surplus for a term ef years (usually 30) and unless the Insured sur vives the full period and the policy la in force at that time, all ef the surplus earn ings are forfeited te the company. What per son would purchase stock In a bank agreelag that no dividend shall be paid upon hi steek for a period ef 20 years, conditioned upon Ms living that length ef time.? His frtecda would have bis head examined, and- yet many et them wilt and have made theftame agreement with a Hfe insurance company.' Just becaoee It was popular.
