The men who earn their living with their hands as well as their brains, who build the cities, the railroads, the ships and all other things where strength and brawn are absolutely necessary, flocked to the Lewis and Clark Exposi tion yesterday and marveled at its greatness. "They also built the Expo sition, and yestorday they enjoyed the fruits of their labor. Kot all of the men who visited the Fair actually took part in the erection of the magnificent buildings, leveled the grounds, con verting them into beautiful parks, or assisted in the Installation of the ex hibits, but the workingmen as a class did the work, and it was to them yes terday that the Lewis and Clark Expo sition paid due homage. "Workingmen's Day. Yesterday was essentially and pri marily a Workingmen's day. as it was intended to be. There was no loud blare of brass bands or speech-making, but Instead, the day was marked by the total absence of the usually noisy ac companiments of a big celebration. But. nevertheless, the day was an eventful one and will occupy a prominent part in the annals of the Exposition when they are completed. The plans and expectations of tho management were carried out to the letter. The officials wanted the work ingmen of Portland to see the Exposi tion in its entirety: that was the pur pose of a special day being set aside for their benefit. And the laboring men of Portland saw the whole of the Exposition yesterday, or at least, many thousands of them did, thanks to the hearty co-operation of the largest and most representative firms of Portland, which gave their employes time to visit the Fair. The feature of the Exposition yes terday was the large attendance. There were no large gatherings or tremendous crowds, but the visitors were scattered all over the grounds. Early in the morning the workingmen and their families began to pass through the gates of the Exposition. In the after noon the flow of visitors was at its heaviest, as many of the laboringmen worked In the morning. At night there was no noticeable Increase, the attend ance being about the same as on any week day. As was generally expected, the interest of the workingmen cen tered at the Government building yes terday. All day long1 it was thronged with Interested visitors. The labor ingmen of Portland have had no oppor tunity of visiting the Government ex hibit without laying off from their work. On Sundays and night the ex hibit is closed-to the public Business Houses Set Aside Day. The Portland business houses real ized this, and upon the Exposition man agement announcing Its intention of setting aside a day for the working men, when the admission rate would be reduced from 50 cents to 25 cents, num erous firms decided to do their part In the recognition of the value and worthi ness of labor. Many of the Portland firms not only gave their employes a holiday, but provided them with tickets for themselves and family. Other Arms gave them a half-holiday. The Trail was the scene of much ac tivity yesterday. All day long the amusement street of the Exposition was filled with people. The sun was not hot, besides part of it ,1s protected by a huge canvas that is being stretch ed from one end to the other, and the visitors swarmed to the different at tractions. Some of the concessionaires gave special shows for their entertain ment, at which extra features were presented. There were many hundreds of visitors yesterday who spent the en tire day and night at the Exposition, without leaving the grounds. Most of them took lunches with them. N. C. R. AUDITORIUM. A novel free entertainment Indorsed by all who have visited the Fair, and known as "A Trip to the N. C. R." is now being given Wednesday.

MEN IORTLAD PHHDE Delay in Arrival of Train Les sens March. TODAY DEVOTED TO FAIR Multnomah Camp, of Portland, Will Initiate a Class Tonight at East Side Woodmen's Hall, East Sixth Street. The parade of the "Woodmen of the World, scheduled to occur at S o'clock last night, did not take place until nearly 9, and evon then was very much curtailed on account of the failure of some of the camps to participate in the parade. The delay was occasioned by the failure of the Seattle train to get In on time with the delegation from that city, and after ar rival the members of the organization, who, in many cases, were accompanied by their wives and families. Wore too much occupied with finding quarters to join in the procession. Colonel C. C. Bradley, grand marshal, led the procession, and was assisted act ively In the managoment of the maneu vers by Harry Day. After marching through the principal streets of the city headed by several bands of music, the various camps assembled In Foresters' Hall, Sixth and Waehlngton, where spe cial Initiatory exercises were held. Today will be Woodmen's day at the Fair, and members of the various camps of the Pacific Jurisdiction will attend the Exposition and participate in appropriate exercises that have been arranged for their benefit. At 1:30 o'clock this after-, noon, there will be rendered a special pro gramme at the Auditorium, in the Exposi tion grounds. Tonight at the East Side Woodmen's Hall, 112 East Sixth street. Multnomah Camp, No. 77, whose uniform rank drill team won the championship at Los An geles last April, will hold a regular ses sion, at which refreshments will be served and there will be an initiation of a class. Visiting members of the W. O. W. are cordially invited to be present. AXGELTJS FAILS AGAIN. Engine Gives Out and Flight Is Again Interrupted. For fully a quarter of an hour yester day, a huge cigar-shaped airship and a mere lad only 18 years of age . demon strated to the world and the unbelieving public that aerial navigation is practical. But the mastery of the atmosphere and the wind was short-lived, and the Angelus, Captain T. S. Baldwin's airship, 'which makes ascensions at the Exposition, failed to return to its shed at the aeronautic concourse by the air route, as was ex pected. A flight was scheduled for yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, but, owing to an accident with the apparatus that gen- crates the gas at the aeronautic con course, the airship was not in readiness for the ascension until nearly 6 o'clock. The flight was made for the "benefit of the workingmen of Portland, who had a special day at the Exposition yesterday. When the airship was towed from Its shed, preparatory to the flight, several thousands of interested people had assem bled to witness the ascension. Lincoln Beachy, the 15-year-old boy who mans tho airship, climbed in his place. and upon his signal the moorings were cut loose, and the Angelus shot skyward amid tremendous applause. Beachy as cended about 1000 feet in the air, and then headed the airship directly north, There was a slight breeze blowing, but the Angelus -made rapid progress through the air, crossing Guild's Lake between the American Inn and the Bridge of Na tions. The gasoline engine and the propeller worked to perfection, and from the evo lutions of the airship for the first few minutes, the thousands of spectators thought that they would be treated to a successful flight. .Near the Government 1 a A Jilt fjk WELCOMES-IHE WOODMEN OF TIIE building Beachy threw out ballast and rose to a height of nearly 30CO feet. To show the spectators that the airship was under perfect control. Beachy turned it around a couple of times and then head ed for the river. After traveling several hundred yards In the direction of the river the propeller suddonly stopped, owing to the breaking down of the gasoline engine. After several futile attempts to adjust the machinery so that it would run, Beachy opened the gas valve and let the airship drift- He had the Angelus under his control about 15 minutes, but It was about 7 o'clock before he landed at St. Johns. The service of a tugboat was se cured and the airship towed back to Gov ernment Island, from whore It was re moved to the aeronautic concourse. The break in the engine cannot be re paired for several days, but a new ma chine will be Installed Immediately, so that it is expected that another flight can be made on Saturday afternoon. Captain Baldwin was greatly disappointed over the untimely ending of the flight yester day, as when the airship first started out every Indication pointed to a successful voyage. He is not discouraged, however, and is confident that the Angelus can bo as easily navigated as the Arrow, the air ship which made him famous. The Arrow is now at New York City. 1 "Nebraska Exhibit.

Judge Cameron Disposes of Varle ga'ted Bunch of Cases In 31uniclpal Court. "On my honor. Tour Honor, I had to get my mustache shaved so that my wife could not get hold of It." said James Sher idan to Judge Cameron, in Police Court yesterday, when faced by his wife with the accusation that he had beaten her with an iron poker, and had used abusive language, "and more than that she hit me on the head with a poker, and I never even touched her." "Yes. he did. too," said Mrs. Sheridan, who is an elderly woman, and no larger than a midget "He swears at me some thing awful, and I want him locked up to keep the peace." "Do you want him flogged?" asked Judge Cameron, and added: "I think that would be the best thing for him." "Yes. the ought to be whipped, and then he will learn to behave himself something decent, responded Mrs. Sheridan. 'Til give you five days, Sheridan," said the Judge. "You are to appear in court at that time and I will make disposition of your case." Carl Carey promises Judge Cameron that he would go to Tacoma on the first train if permitted to leave the court a free man. and was taken at his word. Carey was arrested for threatening his wife because she had left him and taken her children with her. His wife and two small daughters took the witness stand and testified that Carey had threatened his wife. Nellie Ryan almost wept when she was accused of calling another woman bad names, and retaliated by charging her ac cuser with trying to make a fool of her, and saying that she bad been, treated shamefully by the woman and by her bus band, whom she had known for 11 years. Judge Cameron acquitted Miss Ryan, but advised both women to refrain from harshness. James Howard, Id years old, arrested for drunkenness, refused to tell where he had obtained liquor. Howard said that his memory was hazy on the-subject. He was remanded to the City Jail until his brain is in working order. San Francisco Man Buys Realty. M.

Moore, of Portland, an Inside lot on "Washington street. Just west of Six teenth street, for $14,00). The property is 125 by 52 feet, and takes up about one fourth of the block. At present, there Is an old frame building on the ground. Mr. Rosenbaum has purchased the lot for an investment. WORLD. MORMONS COMING Famous Musical Body Comes to Irrigation Congress. WILL BE SIX DAYS AT FAIR Special Object of Visit to Sing Irrl gatlon Ode Commercial Club Made Arrangement to Bring Choir to Fair. Through the co-operation of the en terprlalng citizens of Utah and espe cially those of Ogden. the courtesy and liberality of the officers of the Lewis and Clark Exposition and' the effectivo work of the Portland Commercial Club the Mormon choir of 200 selected voices win come to Portland for six days, ar riving Saturday afternoon, August 19, and remaining until August 26, with headquarters at the American Inn. Judge L. W. Shurtliff, first vice-president of the National Irrigation Con gress; Hon. Fred Klesel, of Ogden, and C J. Ross have been active In bringing about this result. Judge ShurtllfC Is of the opinion that between 500 and 1000 people of Utah will accompany the choir, which will be, here during the entire session of the National Irriga Hon Congress, which meets August 21 to 24 inclusive. One of the Interesting features of the choir's visit Is that it will render the "Irrigation Ode" at the session of the irrigation congress. Judge ShurtllfC has visited Portland three different times In perfecting the arrangements for the choir's coming, and left for home last night. Mr. Ross will remain for the completion of Je tails which may require attention. It seems to be conceded that this Is the greatest choir In the United States, and for many weeks past It has been under training for this event, which will easily be' the musical feature of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Sunday School Days. Sunday School days will be a feature of the Exposition during tho next two weeks and certain special privileges will be ac : corded to Sunday schools on these days.

WORK FOR COMMON FUND Girls Do Janitor "Work, Boys Cut "Wood, Both Give Theatrical ' Entertainments and Com bine to Issue Book. ADMISSIONS. 22,127. . Working-men's day and the reduction of the admlislcm rate from 50 cents to 25 cent proved very popular at the Exposition yesterday, the attendance fcelnu 22,127. Behind the arrival at the Lewis and Clark Exposition yesterday morning of an eighth-grade class from Washington there is an unusual story of juvenile enterprise and industry. The class Is nine strong. and comes from Lookout, in Skagit County. The pupils, boys and girls of youthful years, made the expenses for their trip by sawing wood, doing the Jan itor work at the school, selling cook books. giving shows, and by other equally novel methods. Their arrival at the Exposition grounds marked the consummation of months of persistent planning and work ing, and they will probably get more from their trip than many who are better fa vored financially. The class spent a happy day in sightseeing yesterday. Early In the Winter there sprung up In this particular class a desire to come to the Exposition. The only thing lacking was funds. Such a hiatus would have dis couraged a great many students, but the Lookout eighth grade set to work. It was found that the school needed a janitor. The five girls of the class applied for the Job and got It at 55 per month. "When they were through with their recitations they would don aprons and wield brooms or mops until the place was scrupulously clean. The Janitor work had never before been done quite so well. Nor were the four boys Idle all this time. Up in Lookout they burn wood, and to burn wood implies the cutting thereof. The boys took a contract to supply the firewood, and while the girls were clean ing the schoolhouse the boys were laying in the next das supply of firewood. And all this time they got the very highest grades In all their studies. Not one of them failed to pass an examination. Money came surely In this manner, but too slowly. An additional method of In come was hit upon. The clas3 organized a theatrical company and presented the drama "Down by the Sea" In their own and neighboring schoolhouses. Thus their funds wore Increased to over $200. They then hit upon still another plan the Issu ance of a cook book. Gathering all the recipes obtainable from relatives and friends, they prepared a manuscript. Bel- Hngham merchants took up this enterprise and contracted for advertising space suffi cient to pay the cost of publication. By selling these books at 23 cents each they soon had Increased their fund to $300. They have about 300 books yet to sell. All their expenses have been paid out of this fund. Their plnmoney. abountlng to 510 apiece, they earned separately, and did not put it in the common fund. The class Is chaperoned by Miss Clara Vlneup. the teacher. The nine enterprising stu dents are: Edith McLeod. Grover Walker, Cressa Abbey. Iva Hayes. Maud Thomp son. Mason Abbey. Toramle Walker, Gro ver Walker, Hans Hanson ana -rtnur Storefleld. ram IF UNI DEPOT SCENE, OF BUSTLE WITH GREAT ARRIVING CROWDS. Additional Equipment Provided For in Advance Now Proves to Be a Necessity. Portland Union Depot is one of the most Interesting localities during the. busy Ex position season. The foresight of Man ager Lyons in providing Increased facili ties for handling trains, sidetracking ex tra equipment, storing and handling bag gage and additional seating capacity on the long walks under the train sheds is now shown to have been an absolute ne cessity, and accomplished through acute anticipation of the requirements that have attained such enormous proportions. Dur ing a single week of July, the Pullman Company brought Into Portland an aver age of 0 extra sleeping cars daily, and for the month the records of the Northern Pacific Terminal Company show that ap proximately 000 pieces of passenger equip ment were handled. During the month of July SO.O0O pieces of baggage were bandied at the baggage- room of the Union Depot, and the month of June was almost as large. In addition to the immense number of passengers whose tickets are Inspected at the gates to prevent their boarding wrong trains; the vast amount of luggage transferred from the northern wing of the building to cars, and the express matter to be removed from each Incoming train and loaded on those departing. 35 tons of mall is the average quantity handled by em ployes of the postal department and train men each day. There are many amusing incidents that occur around the" big passenger station. causing train directors, managers and as sistants to smile, even In the worry of constantly being targets for countless In qulrles. The other- day a man rushed up to the superintendent and volunteered the startling Information that a porter had Just put his wife aboard the O. R. & N. train, whereas they were bound for San Francisco. The train had Just departed. and the superintcnent Ineffectually remon strated that the porters would not make such a mistake. It was explained that it is not people whom the porters help to board trains that go wrong as a rule, but people who refuse to be given Information and assistance, knowing more than the employes, that are usuallygoing astray. The Irate passenger refused to be com forted. and was Just about to take the superintendent Into confidence concerning the manner in which he would conduct a railroad station himself, and had the otfl cial about decided to start down the track to bring the woman back. Just at that instant a woman of rather large proportions walked up to tho two men, looking quite as angry as the man acted, and slapping him on the back. said: "David, where have you been all this timer' David appeared sad of spirit and meek lv louavcit his snauxA ta xha San Jfranpila co train, while the depot attaches smiled at the lecture his better half delivered upon the duty husbands owe to their wives to stay close beside them in big crowds. AH of the roads are handling an enor mous amount of traffic, alhough It Is real ized that the heaviest Fair travel Is to come during the next ten weeks. Begin ning immediately after wheat harvest, the movement will set in from Northern Ida ho, Eastern Oregon and Washington, and the stream of travel into Portland from Puget Sound seems to be constantly large. Northern Pacific trains are coming In sec tions, and deposit an enormous number of passengers at the foot of Sixth street. O. R. &. N. trains come In laden to the vestibules, with sometimes wearied, but always happy, passengers, ready for the delights of the Exposition. Southern Pa cifi" trains are constantly heavily laden, and It Is a fortunate traveler who secures a -vacant berth unless the ticket has been bought and reservations made in advance. There is a strong illustration of the dif ference a few minutes makes In the de parture of a train. In the time-card change of the Southern Pacific, by which the San Francisco train departing In the evening leaves at 8:45 Instead of 8:20 o'clock. Un der the old time of departure the train pulled out 15 minutes after the O. R. & N. train for the East, and the result was more or less confusion, due to the . pas sengers for both passing through gates at the same time. Since the change there Is ample time for Southern Pacific pas sengers to board their train without In terference with those for the earlier train, and the congestion at the gates is much relieved. Trnnsp'ortntioir's Big Day. Transportation day. August 19. Is to be one of the big days at the Exposition and will have one of the most attractive pa rades ever witnessed In the West. The M. E. T. Club has taken the matter in hand and Is attending to the preliminary arrangements. A me'etlng of the M. E. T. Club was held yesterday, and commit tees appointed to prepare a programme which will exceed anything heretofore undertaken at the Exposition. The gen eral plan is to have a big parade, starting from the Manufactures Electricity and Transportation building and marching over the leading boulevard of the Expo sition. In the parade will be vehicles of various kinds, handsomely decorated floats and everything necessary to add to the attractiveness of the pageant. A water carnival may be added to the other features, but that matter will be deter mined at the M. E. T. meeting tomorrow. when the entire programme will be ar ranged. San Jose and Sacramento. The San Jose and Sacramento day exer cises wiU be held In the California build ing Saturday at 11 A. M.. with the Ad ministration Band In attendance. The programme, which will be participated In by both cities, consists of an address of welcome on behalf of the Exposition by Colonel H. E. Dosch, and responses by representatives of San Jose and Sacra mento, and the president of the Sacra mento Chamber of Commerce. J. A. Fllcher, of the California Commission, will act as chairman of the day. A reception will be given to all Callfor nlans and their friends In the California building, from Z to i o'clock. At the same time Sacramento will distribute fresh fruit, and the visitors will also be pre sented with prunes from Santa Clara County, with the compliments of the San Jose delegation.

Hassett, of Sacra mento, who is In Portland, announced that a special train left his home city at 10 o'clock last night with 160 excur sionists aboard who are coming to cele brate Sacramento day Saturday at the Fair.

Browme-Elwood. of Chicago, have re ceived the transcript of proceedings In connection of the bonds from City At torney Greene and Recorder Hanks. These officers were Instructed to submit tho bonds to these bidders with full record of the ofilclal proceedings. Chy Attorney Greene said yesterday that the Chicago firm acknowledged the receipt of the documents pertaining to the bonds. Much surprise is expressed by this Chi cago firm how Is was possible for St. Johns taxable property to jump from $310,000 to n.OCO.000. and the population to jump up from COO to 2500 In a little more than one year's time. Affidavits, duly attested, confirming that all this In crease Is taxable property and population has been made within the time speci fied, have been forwarded to the Chicago bidders. So far this Is the only objection offered to the bonds, and these have now been cleared away. Mayor King and the Cewn cllmen have high hopes that the beads will be taken by the Chicago bidders, as their acceptance would dispose of the tangle St. Johns municipal affairs are In. A definite answer from the bidders is expected within a few days. IT'S AT THE TAVERN.
