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. Thursday and Friday
evenings at 8 o'clock, at the National

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

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

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.

WHERE TROUBLE VANISHES
JAMES SHERIDAN DENIES THE
CHARGE OF WIFE.
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.

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.

.
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.

dents are: Edith McLeod. Grover Walker,

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

Kolb and Dili in Musical Burlesque
at the Marquam.
Kolb and Dill, the German comedians,
and their excellent company of 40 people
will be the attraction at the Marquam
Grand Theater tonight at SUX) o'clock, to
morrow afternoon and night. These clever
merry-makers are presenting the laugh
able musical comedy burlesque, "1. O. U.,"
a comedy set to music, with a series of
comical situations and funny sayings that
have caused all Portland to laugh. This
Is the sixth week for Kolb and Dill, an
unprecedented run In the history of theat

AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
The Bnker's Big, Show.
No better show has ever been put on in
local vaudeville than the big bill at the
Baker Theater this week. Hanvey &
Boyd's Minstrels, which head the bill,
have taken the city by storm, and crowd
ed houses have been witnessing every per
formance. There are several popular min
strel stars with the Hanvy Sb Boyd
troupe. Chief among these are Louis
Hanvey, Turkey Boyd and Ben Duley,
three of the best-known minstrels in the
business. The Jokes are new. the songs
bright and catchy and the show Is a suc
cess throughout. The grand finale, with
Boyd as John P. Sousa, Is the hit of the
season. Interspersed through the per
formance are a number of excellent vau
deville features, including De Garro
brothers, premier acrobatic 'specialists,
and the Casino Comedy Four, who have
a new specialty. Moving pictures end
the bill.
CIrcns at the Star.,
Hunt's dog and monkey circus has made
a pronounced hit wlth'the audiences at
the Star this week. It is simply wonder
ful what the little animals are capable of
doing. The monkeys are the funniest
little creatures on earth. Reklaw, the
comedy bicyclist, is the best seen here in
many weeks, for. besides doing many
clever tricks on the wheel, he is a good
comedian, and keeps his audience in a
continuous roar. Giles W. Harrington In
a monologue Is very entertaining and his
stories are all new. The Francescos do
a clever magical act. and burlesque some
of their best tricks in a very amusing
manner. "By the Dear Old Delaware" Is
sung to beautiful Illustrations. The words
and music are both pretty. The Musical
Reeds are clever musicians. The Staro-
scopc shows some amusing pictures and
completes a bill of exceptional merit.

Chicago Bidders for St. Johns Paper
Ask for More Information.
The second lowest bidders for the 5.
OCO In municipal bonds of St. Johns.
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.
