More Cariueuis Are Needed. Post master Mlnto has applied for more car riers to Improve the mall delivery service in North Albina from Station B. From this station 12 carriers now take their mall, but Mr. Mlnto Is asking for two more to supplement .their work. Since January 1, 1905, nearly 70!) new houses have been put up in that district and others are under construction. At the opening o the year the carriers had about all they could attend to, but with the additional 2000 or more residents to serve with the mall they are overworked, and there has been some delay in the delivery of mall. One drawback in that district is the lack of sidewalks, and when mall inspectors go over the dis trict they are not favorably impressed. By laying sidewalks the people there will stand a better chance of getting more carriers and more prompt handling of mall. At Sellwood also another carrier Js needed, and will be asked for, owing to the growth in that section. Sunny side station will also be Improved. It is a contract station, but will be made a Government subofflce. E. C. Minor, who has been in charge for nearly seven 3ars, desires to retire, and he will be succeeded by a civil service man, The office will remain where It Is at present, as there Is a lease on the building for five years. Tho extraordinary growth of the suburbs of the Bast Side makes it imperative that more carriers should be provided. Was a Miner and Prospector. John Kllkenney. who died In Los Angeles, CaL. was a miner and prospector. For" the past ten years he had been In failing lieal th, and wont to California In the hope that the change would prove bene ficlal. He was born In Mount Pleasant. la , July 15. 185S, and when quite young he moved to South Dakota. It was at the opening of the gold excitement In the Black Hills, and he went with the crowd into the gold district. Ho mined and prospected through Montana, and was In Butte City when that place only con talned a few houses. His last mining was done In Idaho, and he moved to St. Johns last April with his family. A wife rnd seven children survive him, besides Ms mother, Mrs. Honora Kllkenney. and brother. M. 33. Kllkenney, of St. Johns Sellwood Wants Sewerage. Agitation for sewerage has been started at Sell wood by J. M. Donaugh and Councilman A N Wills. The City Engineer will be asked to prepare plans for a system for that district. To serve the district, an entire system would have to be pre pared, as part of the territory In Sell wood slopes toward the river, and that pari east of the electric railway slopes toward Wlllsburg. Progress or the Y. M. C. A. The mis sion and purposes of the Portland Y. M, C A. was the subject of the addresses that were delivered last night at Cen t-nary M. E. and Sunnyslde Congrega tional churches, the meetings being In line with the programme to bring before the public the advantages of the associa tion. At Centenary Church the speakers were F McKlrchor. Dr. J. II. Weather bee and Secretary H. W. Stone. Mr. Mc- Ivircher told of the progress of the Port land association, coming up from narrow ouarters on First street to the ownership of the fine four-story brick on Fourth street. He also told of the facilities It of fered boys and young men to develop themselves and become experts. Dr. "V eatherbee told of the physical culture department. He said that the triangle. the emblem of the Y. M. C. A., told Its j urposes the development of spirit, mind and body. He said that the institution developed all three.' remarking that a sound body was necessary for success In any calling. Dr. Wcatherbec told what the association doog for boys and men In the athletic departments. Extend Woodstock Branch. In re t-ponce to a petition from many residents, Manager F. I. Fuller, of the Port land Railway Company, has Investi gated fhe advisability of extending the A oodstock branch from Its present termi nus, which Is opposite the schoolhouse on Woodstock avenue. He Is favorably ln- t'lned, and will probably recommend that lhc line be extended. The company owns a franchise on Woodstock avenue to the Kindorf road, through Tremont. which v III expire next Spring. As the district is growing rapidly an electric railway is greatly desired by the residents. FOCNDATION FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL.

The initial meeting of the "Sunday at home" gathering of the local branch of the Y. W. C. A. was held In the associa lion rooms last night, with a large num ber of young ladies present. This "Sun day at home" is a unique plan of the managing secretary. Miss McCbrkle. by which the girls are to be brought closer In touch with the inside workings of this institution by pleasant means. The first number of a musical pro gramme previously arranged was the ren ditlon of selections by the Baptist Church orchestra of eight pieces. Then followed several solos by friends of the association who had preferred their services. The largo feathering: of girls present thor oughly enjoyed the numbers, proving their pleasure by repeated encores. In another room reading aloud was in dulged in. the selection being a story of Ernest Thompson Seton. This appeared to be the favorite pastime. Frau Bekker, who is to take uz the Instruction of the German classes later on, pleased all greatly with a recitation. Sunday char ades and corn-popping were Indulged In by many of the girls. When all had tired of this they adjourned to the room filled with laden tables, where a vers informal supper was served gratis. "While eating they were favored by a heart-to-heart talk by Miss llcCorkle on a somewhat spiritual theme, entitled 'Source of a Successful Iilfe." in which she laid plainly before their understand ing the only principles whereby a truly good life might be lead, and by which one could stand a representative of perfect womanhood. After supper hymns were sung and the gathering divided Into groups, some going to church and others to remain In the cheerful rooms talking and planning for the future of the association. It was de cided that this feature of the week's rou tine remain a fixture, that these meetings be held each Sunday, with similar amuse ments and exercises, since this was a great success.

The Great Northern Railway has Just placed In Service a new train between St. Paul, Minneapolis and the West named "The Oriental Limited." and the company has achieved a distinct success In the ex cellence, ease and elegance of this regal train, which lands the traveller at his journey's end. be It East or West, with a pleasant memory lingering in his mind of the comfort which has been provided for him. The equipment for these new trains, ten of which are required to com plete the service is entirely new and mod ern in every respect, and several new features not heretofore Included on trans continental runs are provided, including the Observation Buffet Library Compart ment cars. The new dining-car sen-ice of the "Oriental Limited" equals in beauty, design and Interior finish, as well as In the excellence of the meals, the luxury which a first-class hotel or dub provides. The first of these new trains will leave Seattle Wednesday. November 22. at 8:00 P. M. and will be on exhibition at Seattle Union Depot from 12 o'clock, noon, until 4:00 P.

Walling George Forrester I.ouls Frorfolf Jim Dixon.... John Salnpolls Harry Hurgess Fred Suraner Terence O'Flynn... Clarence Montajne A. K. Austen. William Harris Harry Curtis Earl Williams "Sulkey" Smith Charles Ruggles Hiram Webster Ralph Bell Cyrus Wockford...... Reginald Mason Margaret Marrable.. Lillian I-awrence Mercedes Edith Angus Ceclle Austen Effle Bend DRAWING an obvious deduction from the turn-out that greeted the Be lasco's return to melodrama yes terday. It Is this class of play Portland theater-goers require of the Bclasco Stock Company. While White Whittlesey. In a scries of dramas that have served as vehicles for the greatest of stars, was greeted with an Inexplicable calmness and mcagerness of attendance, the cur tain drew aside for "The Fatal Card" yesterday with responsive asemblages nuing every seat from orchestra-pit to foyer. "The Fatal Card" is essentially melo drama. It is redolent of startling situa tions, fine heroics and thrilling effects. Its plot lacks continuity, but affords no end of diversified action and character drawing. The climax Is tied to the be ginning by merely a fine thread and when at the last dramatic moment this thread is severed It comes with a crash. In the hands of the Bclasco Stock Company "The Fatal Card" receives more than satisfactory treatment. The players draw a broad mark between the intelli gent presentation of good melodrama and th presentation that is characterised principally "by cheap blatant heroics and unnatural, wooden, boisterous effects. Every part Is acted In a fashion that ro vealfc study and a fine understanding of the requirements Involved. Will R. Wall ing, who has long since galnod favor in Portland, divides honors with Louis Fro hofr. The part alloted to Frohoff L alive with possibilities, which he does not fall to seize. In the first act he executes an effective and artistic bit of work, perhaps the best of the nlav. when he Is seen as the reckless victim of a Western vigilance committee. As the fashionable thief amid luxurious surroundings In England, how ever, he hardly lives up to the promise of the beginning. Mr. Walling nnartcd to his role uniform naturalness and vigor. John Salnpolls as Jim Dixon gave a very life-like aspect to the murderous thief: Clarence Montaine made a very gocd O Flynn, and Fred Sumner xas sufll clently ludicrous as the backward Harry Burgess. Miss Lillian Lawrence, as the daughter of a "respectable" thief was at her very best throughout. In face. evey one with a part filled it with credit. The same bill will continue through the week. ALL-EAST 51 LINE IMPROVEMENT 1 ASSOCLVHON HAS HOPES OF SUCCESS. Requests for Better Service to Port land Railway Company Brought Prompt Betterments. Efforts made by the East Side Improve ment Ajftoclation to secure betterments In car service have already borne sub stantlal fruit, at least as far as the St. Johns. Woodlawn and Albina branches of the Portland Railway Company Is concorned. Managor F. I. Fuller, true to his promise to the committee which called n him last week, has already inaug urated Improvements and others are to be made as soon as practicable. On the branches running to Kllllngsworth, Pied mont. Multnomah. Patton Addition and North Albino, and one result has beon to relieve the pressure on the St. Johns through car. When the Lower Albina cars were sent around Third and Alder streets they drew much of the traffic that formerly crowded the SL Johns cars. The Lower Albina cars carry peo ple direct through Lower Albina and Multnomah Addition to Kllllngsworth avenue over the extension recently com pleted to Ockfey Green station. The large cars taken from the Upper Albina line and placed on the Lower Albina run has enabled the company to handle the Lower Albina traffic more effectively. Beginning today the Woodlawn cars will not make stops on their northbound trips from KASt Burnsldc street to Meagle street during the hours of the afternoon when tlw rush Is on and everybody wants to get home at the same time. This order affects the Woodlawn car leaving Washington street at 422 P. M. and will continue until 6:16 P. M., when the rush is on. and passengers falling to catch the Woodlawn cars, or those bound for come points between East Burnsldc and Moagley street, must take the Union ave nue, or Alberta car and transfer at Mcagley street. For the St. Johns through-car line pome large cars are being built. President Ful lor informed the committee that called on him that he would do all he could to give the people on that branch bettor service, nnd readily admitted that the overcrowding of the cars was something that should be remedied and would be remedied. The committee from the East Side Im provoment Association is confident that Manager Fuller will Improve the service as soon as practicable. He met the com mittee in a way that gave them confldonce in his promises. The matter of an all East Side car line, with through con nections, is also, receiving his considera tion. With the completion of the East Side High School it is felt that it will be greatly needed, as pupils will come from all directions St. Johns, Sollwood. Mount Tabor and elsewhere. As shown In the crowded suburban cars there has been no slump following the close "of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, as some predicted. The street railway managers admit that they have been sur prised over the way travel has been maintained, as they expected that there would be a great falling off. "We expected a material reduction on our East Side lines," said President Ful ler, of the Portland Railway Company, "but this did not happen and the business of these lines is considerably better than what it was a year ago. The car equip ment of our lines, which we expected would be sufficient for our needs at the close of the Fair, has proved inade quate." PERS0NALMENTI0N. CHICAGO. Nov. 19.

Tp HE Parisian Belles- seems to be ex- 1 actly what the Baker Theater audl- encc is looking for this week, and at yesterday's matinee they sang and danced themsolves Into Immediate favor. The girls are both pretty and shapely and what Is more they know how to sing well. There are some unusually good male voices In the company, which are used to good advantage In the caste. "The Mound City Quartet." as Messrs. Morgan, Duffy. Hanley and O'Rourke style themsolves, had to sing overtime before the audience consented to allow the performance to proceed. A musical comedy entitled "The Sul tan's Wives," and a musical burlesque, "The Girl From Manila." make up an attractive programme, which Is further enlivened by several good specialties, Harry and Kitty Sutton, contortionists, do about tne best work of the kind seen here for some time, preceding It with "The Rube and the Soubrettc" La Belle Marie, from the Moulin Rouge Revue, does a novel and clever slack wire performance. beginning In a trained gown and picture hat. which she adroitly discards after mounting the wire. The dancing- of Reba Donaldson is deserving of especial mention. Sho rendered the sword dance and the sail ors hornpipe with a grace and agility unusual even In professionals. Marie Gillette's toe dancing- Is also above the average, several new steps being In troduced by hor. Annie Abbott who. accompanied by tho chorus sings "My Honey Lou" also does some novelties In dance steps and Is very popular with the audience. , The "Sultan's Wlvos" all proved very pretty and wore very fetching costumes. The comedians make things lively and keep the house in an uproar with their Jokes. "The Girl From Ma nlla" Includos a lS-mlnutc burlesque on "Pinafore, which servod to Intro duce many of the popular airs of that opera. "Uncle Tom's Cabin' was brought Into the burlesque circle and the comedians also took a few liberties with "Shenandoah." The patriotic In terlude and the tableau Included the National American march by the 12 well-drilled girls under the leadorshlp of Captain Violet Gleason and proved especially popular. "The Parisian Belles' will entertain you. Go and see them this week. WOLFF URGES PATIENCE Russia, He Says, Is Now Without Responsible Government. WASHINGTON. Nov. 19. Another mas meeting of Jewish citizens was held here today and UV) was subscribed for the Jews In Russia. Simon Wolff. ex-National pros Idcnt of the B'nal B'rlth Society. In an address, said that the Jews must not Imagine that President Roosevelt had failed In his duty in not taking some action In behalf of the race In Russia. Russia, he said, was without a govern ment of responsible power and even if an American were killed In St. Peters burg It would be hard for this Govern ment to obtain redress, because Russia. he added, was a sovereign power and not held responsible under any treaty. Wolff cautioned his hearers not to allow their Indignation to get the better of their common sense and assured them that Count Wlttc was doing the best ho could and that he had promised by next Spring to give tho Jews equal rights with thoir Russian brotners.

"A Broken Heart." filled every seat the reception accorded the play was one of heartiest approvnl. The production Is a brisk melodrama with tendencies to wards the problem play. It finds Its set tings In the great West In the State of Colorado to be exact. Necessarily the hero Is a mining man, Dave Russell, a young fellow who has just made an Im mense fortune In a treat cold bonanza. The first act shows him In the light of a rather weak youth. While under the influence of liquor he Is entrapped by a scheming, mercenary man nnd woman. The villain In question Introduces the woman as his sister, and by devising a compromising situation forces a mar riage between the two. The woman. Marcel, then proceeds to fulfill her mis sion, that of securing funds from her wealthy husband. He leaves her unon sobering up. and returns to the mines. whore he has a sweetheart and an aged motner. Marcel follows him there for more money, and finds it expedient to commit a murder. The blame she shifts to Dave, and after a trial the Innocent Is finally acquitted. Marcel dies of a broken heart through being, spurned by tne man she has learned to love. Of course, the denouement brings sunshine over all who really merit It. The play was written by Miss Esther Rujaero and the plot is quite cleverly conceived and car ried out. As Dave Russell, the rich young miner. Frank Clayton Is very acceptable. Charles Caulkins Is quite refreshing as the vil lain, since he creates a common-sense and probable creature, who does not find It imperative to wear tall, patent leather leggings and gllterlng guns and knives. A. R. Brooks, who does the comedy role and helps out with the heroics on the side. Is an actor of no mean ability, but It would not detract from his part should he dispense with the practice of using an American flag for a baton while singing a boisterous comedy refrain. The Stars and Stripes have no business In the hands of a comedian on the stage, anyway. Miss Elsie Gresham. as the adventuress; Miss Grace Lamont. as Nellie Howland. and the other members of the troupe fill their various parts with credit. The play Is really one of the best that.has been seen at the Empire this season.
