ence in Spokane.
There was a whisk of royal purple vel
vet and handsome fables through the
Onion depot yesterday afternoon, and all
eyes followod-thc remarkably "handsome
woman who wore them as she stepped
.into a waiting: carriage. Then all of a
suddon it seemed to dawn up.on the
crowd who she was.
"Why, that was Calve!"
It is a wondrous blessing to have one
of the most magnificent voices In the
world, and it 4s. surely a more than kind
Providence that bestows upon ono woman
not only the marvelous voice, but great
personal beauty, intelligence and magne
tism. For Madame Calve is possessed of
all these in so liberal a measure that
there is no denying that Dame Fortune
thas been partial.
The great divas who have visited the
Pacific Coast have all been gracious in
manner and good to look upon. Xordica
captivated , us, and we all loved Melba;
Blauvclt was charming and beautiful:
Gadsky's dignity gave her a special'
charm; Schumann-Hcink won every
"heart; even poor little Patti was lovable.
DBiit none of them can compare with the
Calve who will entrance all Portland with
the charm of her wonderful voice tonight.
She Is all her pictures paint her in ap
pearance physically perfect, with won
dorful eyes and hair of midnight. A pecu

"When the train pulled in late yesterday
Madamc was dressed and ready for an
outing, and for half an hour drove about
tho city getting a glimpse of Portland in
tho gathering dusk. air. Cort and Miss
Coman came over with tho party from
Seattle, and both arc enthusiastic over
the charming personality and abounding
fcood humor and wit of their prima

the compMiiy at Salt Lake there has not
boon a single dull moment. Madame
Oalve if getting a great deal out of this
trip, and with it all she is having a good
titne."
Madame does not speak much English,
sad therefore does not take any long
citKnces trying to answer questions she
does not clearly understand. If she is in
doubt she has them translated to her be
fore venturing a reply, but what a read
er of human nature she is, and how she
ze oiH up! She has a great trick of
turning the conversation to one's self,
ad if he can not talk English with her'
tousue she can with her eyes and hands.
Her eyes dance and twinkle or grow
grave with her mood, and her hands are
going all the time in graceful gestures.
That if the actress In her. It seems im
pusftfulc for her not to express herself
with gtures as well as by words; and
after one- talking to her one does hot
wonder that she is regarded as the great
est aetisx among grand opera singers.
Madame was not Inclined to talk much
about getting lost in Spokane, but hor
amused expression belled the Frenchy
fh rug of her shoulders as she glanced' at
Jlr. "Weaver, hor manager.
"Jt was a ter-ree-ble railroad." she
sighed, as she shook her pretty head.
Search for Lost Prima Donna.
"Well, it was a terrible hour for me."
Bald Mr. Weaver, as he mopped his brow
at the very thought of the agony he
passed through on t he occasion of losing
the great dii'a in the "Washington town.
"I always escort Madame to the theater,"
lie continued, "and on the evening of her
appearance In Spokane I went as usual
to her private car in the railroad yards-.
I wandered around about 20 minutes try
ing to find the 'Calve,' but could not lo
cate it.
"Nobody seemed to know anything
about it. and when I realized that it was.
time tor tlie performance to begin, and
that both Madame Calve and her car
were gone I nearly had a fit- I rushed
to the oftVe of the superintendent, and
after much inquiry and delay he learned
that the car had been switched out some
distance from town, no one ever dream
ing that Madame was In it.
"A switch engine was hurried out and
1n a few minutes it came rushing back
with the lost prima donna, and took the
car to within a few step? of the theater
entrance. In the observation parlor of the
coach sat Madame, dressed ready for the
stage and wrapped in a long coat, while
clasped In one determined little white
liana was a muraerous-iooKing outcnor
knife which she had purloined from the
kitchen. -As usual, Madame was taking
no long chances'.
An experience in a small country com
wunity just out of Salt Lake was partic
tilarly interesting t,o Madame Calve, as
It gave her .a glimpse of the home life
of the Mormons. Her car was dropped at
the point In .question so that she could
have a day in the country before appear
ing in Salt Lake. She decided she would
visit some farmhouses and go "shopping"
for chickens, butter and eegs. Thore

much puzzled the singer, and neither of
them would consent to kill the small
chickens which she wanted for broilers.
Sings for Farmers' Wives.
"Not even for mc-ee?" coaxed the inim
itable Calve, with quaint accent and
charming gesture? "See what I do for
you I"
An old-fashioned meioaion stooa In a
corner of the plain little parlor, and the
prima donna who commands 52000 and
more at each appearance, sat down In
the farmhouse to sing for the coveted
broilers. "Willi one finger she picked out
the air and sang to tho two wiyes and
their two groups of little children an old
fashioned folk song which she had
learned as a child In France.
"It make tears on their face." Madame
explained afterwards. "But two wife-
one husband I don t ccgcactiy under
stand."
Pearls are Madame Calve's favorite
jewels, and she possesses some rare speci
mens. She wears a pair of solitaire pearl
earrings which attract much attention
from the fact that ono Is black and the
other white. So far, a match has Tiot
been found for either of them, and It Is

From $200 a night and 37 trunks full of

make It gracefully. But Madame Calve
Is the one who can do it, for, would you

LESSONSFROM THE COURTS
Judge Frazcr Addresses tlie Boys at
Y. 3f. C. A. Auditorium.
Frugality, honesty and clean living
were impressed upon the members of tho
Boys Club, of the Y. M. C. A, vesteruay
afternoon by Judge A. L. Frazer in an
address upon "Lessons From the
Courts." Judge Frazer did not dwell
upon his experiences with the Jut'enlle
Court work, but drew his conclusions
from observations of the higher courts.
from which he related many forceful
illustrations to point out the benefits of
righteous living to the many boys who
gathered to hear him.
In beginning his address. Judge Frazcr
said that the lessons of the courts wore
not unlike those of schools and colleges
except that they were drawn with greater
viviancss. in each case tho cardinal
virtues were taught, but in the case of
the trial and conviction of criminals, the
results of a mis-spent life were shown as
nowhere else.
Honesty and Industry were the two
main points dwelt upon by the speaker.
Nothing was accomplished without them.
he asserted, and the youth who did not
begin life with these for a foundation
was likely to end by leading a criminal
career, as the records of all courts very
plainly showed. Besides these, he said.
it was necessary for a boy -to begin life
with a resolution not to be too much of a
good fellow. The Idea that ono must hold
his own in spending and go to any length
to wmch njs companions went was vers'
often the cause leading to intemperance
and excessive expenditure.. Only too
often men became thieves to obtain
money in order to be able to show that
they were jolly good feliQws.

Applause Greets Preacher.
After the annlause Incident to his intro
duction imd subsided, the revivalist held
up the Bible in an affectionate manner
and called it a "wonderful old book, from
winch we preachers get our texts. In the
nrst cnapter of 00313." he camlnuvi
"I read of our origin. One chapter Ik
devoted to our origin, and the thousand
that follow teach us the truth of exist
ence.
"Nothing has imnresscd me more In
this rospect. and It is the basis of my
sermon, than the scene In the death
chamber of old King David. By his side
stood his yon. Solomon, to whom he was
giving his dying message. Looking up in
tho face of the boy, he said: 'I go the
way of all the earth: be thou strong,
therefore, nnd show thyself a man.' Did
he tell him. 'show thyself a prlncer N'ot
that. Or 'show thyself a Klngr Xot
that. 'My son, Solomon. I go the way of
all the earth: be thou strong, therefore
and show.thjsclf a man!' There Is noth
ing bigger than a man: only one thing in
the universe bigger than a royal man.
and that Is God himself."
He referred to "William I. Gladstone as
the greatest man the world hHd ever
known, and also paid a high tribute to
Queen victoria, both of whom, he con
tended, owed tlie grandeur of their lives
to Christian Inspiration. If asked the
name of the greatest ruler America ever
had. Rev. Sam Jones would say unhesi
tatingly that It was the Godly. Bible
reading President who occupies the White
House today.
These comparisons were made for tho
purpose of showing that the real mon
o the present age were those who have
accepted the doctrines of Christ, and after
relating a story about a man who had
visited the Calaveras big trees, and had
told the boastful Easterner that bis for
ests looked like saplings beside them, the
preacher drew the conclusion that If any
body would accompany him to tlie throne
of God he would show them a type of
manhood that made all others resemble
shrubs.

"There's a million dollars a week dif

behaved himself while the other had
succumbed to the allurements of various
forms of vice. "If I could return to my

AMERICAN INTERVIEWERS FROM THE STANDPOINT
OF AN AMERICAN HUMORIST
THE safest time to interview a man,
particularly . a humorist, and moro
especially two humorists, is when
they have gone away, or whenthey will
get away before the paper which will
contain the result of the conflict haa gone
to press.
A humorist Is a dangerous man when
brought to bay.
Xow Charles- Battel Loomls and Jerome
K. Jerome went away last night, so I
don't mind telling what happened.
If I had known then what I know now.
I would have hesitated before I accepted
the honor that I thought was thrust
upon me when I bearded these two men
in- the privacy of the Portland Hotel
lobby the other day. At that lime 1 no
ticed that they did not receive me with
much enthusiasm, but I attributed their
lack of cordiality to the sadness which I
have heard permeates the soul of a
humorist when in the throes of a new
joke.
I was mistaken; they had been hounded
from the Atlantic to the Pacific by ail
sorts of Interviewers and all i-orts of In
terviews. They had Just made up their
minds that they wouldn't stand It any
longer, and that the next one that came
along would get hurt. It was probably
ray size that saved me.
However, they were somewhat -moll-fied
next morning when they saw that I
had not said anything that they could
successfully controvert or deny. Never
theless, they were not entirely happy, so
when I asked them what they thought
of interviewers, anyway, they both want
ed to speak at once, but Mr. Jerome
checked himself. He was ovldently afraid
to trust himself In a foreign language.
Mr. Loomls Is an American and. for .tliat
.reason -is perfectly familiar with the dia
lect, so he spoke for botlu
His manner was impressive, and -his
delivery rapid. "When- he had finished he
appeared to be relieved. I threw In a
question every once in awhile, but as
they had no bearing on what he had to
say I have omitted lhcm.
"So you want to know, what Jerome
and I think of Interviewing? Well, we
like the Interviewing part, but we object
to the printing of it.
"You s It's this way. A nice gentle
manly fellow comes to see us. and he
talks In a way that lulls suspicion. We
tell him all 'our hearts secrets. Then he
goes and prints what we say as Inter

Peoples Forum Planning Pub

RICHARDS CASE THE ISSUE
Committce, Appointed to "Arrange the
-Preliminaries Dr.- Chapman
Talks qn Life nnd Cliarac
ter of Franklin.
Should the People's- Forum have its
way. a public indignation meeting will
be held in the near future to back up
Mayor Lane in his fight against the Rich
ards Hotel. At a meeting of the Forum,
held In Elks Hall last night, a commit
tee, consisting of Dr. Stephen S. Wise.
H. D. Wngnon and Mrs. Millie R. Trum
bull, was appointed to take steps prelim
inary to the calling of the indignation
meeting, and to confer with the members
of the Municipal League, with this end In
view. The committee will meet this
morning.
Mrs. Millie Trumbull was the first to
start the fire to burning by advocating
the passage of a resolution sustaining
Mayor Ianc in his fight against the Rich
ards place and vice In general. Mrs.
Trumbull said that although she knew
thitt It was not the custom of the Peo
ple's Forum to pass resolutions and that
it was held in the furtherance of open
discussion, that the question was of such
great and vital Importance to the moral
welfare of the city that Mayor Lane
merited the support of that body.
She said young girls were made the
prey and sport of the mon in Portland by
the existence of sjuch resorts as Rich
ards. Dr. Wise, who presided as chairman,
said he did not think that a resolution
should be passed, inasmuch as the Rich
ards case had not been the principal topic
of the meeting. Dr. C. H. Chapman, the
speaker of tlie evening, said that a pub
lic indignation meeting should be held to
ascertain more facts about the case and
protest against the miscarriage of jus
tice. His' suggestion was taken up and
the committee appointed.
Dr. Chapman did not think that the
meeting should be held with the avowed
purpose of sustaining Mayor Lane in the
fight, but to investigate the Richards
case and all phases of vice In Portland.
He thought this would be the best way
to eliminate partisan feeling, but sev
eral spcakors differed with him on the
subject In the face of which he with
drew his objection.
Dr. Chapman eulogized Benjamin
Franklin In his address. He said that
his enemies could not find one blot on
his character as a business man and a
politician. He asked the question if a
business man or politician could now ac
complish as much as Franklin did In
comparison to the times, if he were
honest.
The point he brought out was that
Franklin was in- the very thick of. poli
tics, a highly nnd unusually unsuccessful
business man, yet all of his dealings were
characterized by his honesty and fair
ness. :

WORKS WITHOUT FAITH

A Bay State belle talks thus about cof
fee: "While a coffee"" drinker I was a suf
ferer from, indigestion and intensely pain
ful nervous headaches, from childhood.
"Seven years ago my health gave out
entirely. I grew so weak that the exer
tion of walking, if only a few feet, made
It necessary for me to He down. My
friends thought I was marked for con
sumptionweak, thin and pale.
"I realised the danger T was in and
tried faithfully to get relief from medi
cines, till, at last, after having employed
all kinds of drugs, the doctor acknowl
edged that he did not believe it was, in
his power to cure me.
"WliIIc in this condition a friend in
duced me to quit coffee and try Postum
Food Coffeev and I did so without the
least hope that It would do me good. I
did not like it at first, but when it was
properly made I found it was a most
delicious and rcfresnmg beverage, i am
especially fond of it served' at dinner
ice-cold, with cream.
"In a month's time I began to improve,
and In a few weeks my indigestion
ceased to trouble me, and my headache
stopped entirely. I am so perfectly well
now that t do not look like the same
person, and I have xo gained In flesh that
I am 15 pounds heavier than ever before.
