Portland Woman Writes of Recep
tion Tendered Prince Arthur, of
Counaught, by Emperor.
Quaint Procession.
Mrs. 1. Frohman. who is now travel
Ins in the Orient, writes an interest
ing description of the errand fete given
by the Emperor of Japan in honor of
Hits Hicrhnoss Prince Arthur Frederick
Patrick Albert of Connnught, K. G., G.
O. A . O., on February 2C. Mrs. Froh
man was fortunate In having two invi
tations to this nfTair. one of them oc
tal? from tile Mayor of Tokio, Ozakl
Ykle.
"The sight was a beautiful one." she
writes, "and deeply interesting from
many standpoint?. We llrst saw the
Mikado while In the palace gardens.
Jie whs on his way to meet the Prince
and was accompanied by a gorgeously
gpstumed suite. His Majesty I suppose
ftav is whnt one would call him rode
in h magnificent coach Inclosed with
glass on golden wheels. 1 regretted
that iw one wax allowed to photograph
him, but 1 afterwards succeeded in
getting a good snap shot of Admiral
Togo, which made up for It In a degree.
"After a state dinner. In the Prince's
nonor. the party drove about the gar
dens and allowed the crowd to have a
good look at them. Our party was sta
tioned at the moat which surrounds
the palace and we had another good
opportunity of seeing the entire party
of English and Japanese royalty.
After this there was a procession, a
qweer, old-fashioned one, which was
said to be the largest glvfn in Japan
for 70 years. It was called a Dalmyo
Gyoretsu. or procession of Japanese
Lord. Plamyos have not been recog
nized during the reign of the present
Emperor as lie believes in ruling Japan
himself. Former Emperors were sel
dom seen by their subjects, and were
almost as mythical as gods. A Prime
Minister called the "Sho Gun" did the
HrtMal ruling and each province had
Its lord.
'The amusement features of the fete
took place at Hiblya Park, where
but l.nOO.000 natives gatftered and
attempted to see whnt was going on
Inside the grounds.
"Top-spinning, lightning changes. J ne

the crowd. The following programme will

Tho last trip which Mrs. Frohman
ntatis to Japan die was fortunate enough
to witness the cherry blossom festival,
and enjoyed the wonderful season of wis
teria bloom, always associated with the
Flowery Kingdom. She stated In her let
ter that she was leaving Japan this year
rconer than expected in an effort to visit
China before hostilities broke out there.
"We may not be able to land at Shang
hai or any other Chinese ports." she
r.y. "as troops are moving forward and
the Chinese Minister advises us that af
fairs are. In a very serious state there
The foreign residents arc very uneasy.
The battleship Oregon arrived today, and
the Ohio is hurrying to Hong Kong, while
the Manila garrisons are preparing to
embark on transports at once."
SERMON TO SCHOOLGIRLS
Dr. Brotighcr Tells of the Students'
Trials and Temptations.
Dr. J. Whltcomb Broughcr spoke at tho
White Temple last night on "The School
girl; W,hat Does She Go to Study?" His
address was one of a series entitled "Four
Girls: What Are Their Peculiar Trials
and Temptations?" Jn part he said:
"In the first place, a girl goes to school
to seek an education. This Is tfie su
preme reason for going to school. But
what Is an education? It Is ihe process
by which she Is to develop and train her
body, mind and soul to be and to do what
God Intended her to be and do when he
created her. Education, therefore, is not
merely growth. It is training.
"Second, how get such an education? It
must be done, first of all, personally. It
can never be done by proxy. If the
President of the United States would
have a strong rlcht arm, he must exer
cise it himself. The girl who would have
an educated body, mind and soul must
train them for herself. Character is
hand made. The educated person Is a
self-made person. JCo one else can ac
quire an-education for him.
"In the next place, she must have a
concentrated purpose to acquire an edu
cation. Richly equipped libraries, labora
tories, mechanical contrivances, epiendte-
lyenwd institutions, well qualified in
strttctvrz; tin short, opportunities and fa-J.
N
cllltles will never give her an education.
She must have the positive determination
to make the proper use of these things
that they may result in her highest de
velopment "Shc cannot waste her time In foolish
love affairs, nor In many social functions,
whether they be in or out of the secret
societies. I do not know that the secret
societies have any special tendencies that
are objectionable at the High School, but
on general principles I do not believe
that they are best for young people of
the age of the High School pupils. In
fact, there should never be an organiza
tion in any public school that a pupil of
good moral character could not Join if he
.wanted to. The tendency on the part of
the fraternities is to create class distinc
tion. "Young people will get into cliques any
how, but secret societies lend to bind
them closer than otherwise. Favoritism
is liable to result, and frequently, it has
proven a great hindrance to those who
did not belong to the society. It is often
too expensive for poor parents to furnish
the means for their children to Join puch
fraternities.
"Last of all. why get an education?
There are, three great laws here. The
law of self-satisfaction, the law of un
selfish service to others, and the law of
service to God. Such an education will
be a satisfaction to one's self. The power
to be the master of your own body, mind
and foul will furnish you a joy unspeak
able, and a happiness that no person can
take away from you. But the strong
should bear the burden of the weak.
"By so much as one has secured her
own personal enrichment, by that much,
she is bound to secure the enrichment
and social advantage of others. Tho
schoolgirl should live for herself, she
should live for the sake of others, and
she should live finally, to the glory of God
In the service of mankind. Hero we have
the schoolgirl's Ideal, her motive and her
mission In life Let her seek an educa
tion that she may .make the world
brighter and better by offering to It her
atttalnmcnts In the sen-ice of love"

SERMON AT THE CATHEDRAL
Father O'llara Says That Rcllfrloue
Emblems Hare Contributed
Much to Religion and to
Artistic Culture.
An explanation and defense of the cus
tom of having many images and statues
in the Catholic churches, as auxiliaries to
the services, was made last night in a
sermon by Rer. Father O'Hara, delivered
before a large audience at the Cathedral.
He said that statues and pictures of Bible
BUTCH, T11K BULLDOO WHO FORMED ATTACHMENT FOR. ORCHARD.
"Butch Is on of th bet bulldog weU of Chicago. He la owned by Mrs.

were able to talk be could tell all about the manufacturing of the bomb which
killed Idaho's ex-Governor and brought ruch dire results to the officials of the
Western Federation of Miners.
characters had been found invaluable in
teaching the lesson or the church. A por
tion of his discourse upon the subject fol
lows: "A generation ago. when Ignorance con
cerning the belief of Catholics was much
denser than it is now, a favorite charge
against the church was that of Idolatry
or image-worship. Today, of course, no
InteUiqent non-Catholic gives credent to
this grotesque misrepresentation. Still,
there Is In the minds of many well-educated
people an undefined mistrust and
dislike for the multiplicity, of religious
statues and pictures which they see In
Catholic churches and In truly Catholic
homes.
"Nothing, however, manifests better the
practical wisdom of the church In dealing
with human nature than her use of these
religious emblems. Just as nothing haa
contributed so much to the progress of
artistic culture and refinement among civ
ilised peoples.
"In making use of religious symbols the
Catholic Church follows precedent found
In Holy Writ, Out of many Instances, we
may recall that In Exodus (xxv:1S) com
mand Is Riven that cherublms Jf beaten
gold be placed on either side or the ora
cle, and we learn that In the Temple of
Solomon there were 'divers figures and
carvings.' '
"The church has employed the painter
and sculptor primarily to convey religious
Instruction. With the wisdom born of ex
perience she teaches deep spiritual truths,
not In-dry abstract formulas, but in con
crete language that appeals vividly to the
learner. Even before the Catholic Church
emerged from the Catacombs she taught
her children by means of sacred pictures.
In those MiDterranean passages, which
served as churches during the first cen
turies of our era, we may still see count
less rel'glous scenes depicted on the rude
walls.
"Since the Edict of. Toleration permit
ted the erection of Christian temples, the
Catholic Church has always been solici
tous to embellish the house of God with
artistic representations of striking scenes
in the life of Christ, of his Virgin Mother
and the other saints. If U is considered
appropriate to make a statue or John D.
Rockefeller the moEt conspicuous orna
ment in the chapel of the university of
Chicago, surely no exception can be taken
to a statue of St. Francis of Asslsl that
great lover of the poor In our Catholic
churches.
"The Catholic Church has made art the
handmaid of religion. She has given the
Inspiration to the noblest reaches of ar
tistic genius. The greatest names in the
realm of art are names of men who con
secrated their genius to the sublime task
of making the canvas or the marble block
eloquent with the grand spiritual mcsage
of the Catholic faith. The names of
Raphael and Michael Angela, are suffi
cient apology for atholle art.
"No man or woman of culture toay Ts
any svmpathy with the slxlee-tth cntn
Philistines who hewed and hacked a4 ut
terly destroyed the prlcctees legttey of
many a century of Catbollc art-naster-pleces
of painting and sculptures that em
bellished the magnificent cathedrals and
churches of England. Scotland and Ger
many. "A truly Catholic borne, too, will have
Its religious pictures. From earliest years
the children will breathe a purer atmos
phere than can exist In those homes
where the walls are disfigured with cheap
prints of popular actresses or where the
drawing-room Is disfigured wh.i a cast of
the sensual Venus. In the truly Catholic
home, the pagan Venus withdraws and
the Virgin Mother is made the Ideal wom
an. No Amaaon there, no Spartan moth
er, no stern mother of the Gracchi, no
goddess of-nsual love; but woman, pure,
gentle, tender, loving. patlenL strong the
type of Raphael's Madonna."
THOUGHT BEFORE CONVERSION
Acceptance of Christ Should Follow
Calm Consideration,
Not emotion or sentiment, but calm,
thoughtful reasoning should precede the
entrance to the Christian life, according
to the trend of an address made by Rew
J. E. Snyder, of Vancouver, before a
mass meeting ef men in the auditorium
of the Young Men's Christian Association,
yesterday afterHson. The speaker depre
cated the idea, that the emotions must be
aroused before conversion, and said that
men 1 lsuld accept Christ because the
great mass of arguments tells them that
such action Is right. His subject was
"The Reasonableness of Religion."
"Some people seem to think that a man
must be stirred emotionally before he
accepts Christ." he said. "But Christian
ity is not a matter of feeling. It Is a
serious matter to choose the Christian
life, and c person should enter upon it
deliberately and thoughtfully. Tho reason
that so many men do not accept Chris
tianity la not because they are skeptical
or because they love sin. but because
they do not give serious consideration to
religion. ,
"Jf rr.cn would reason out their relations
to Christ as they do their business affairs
there would be more of them In the
churches. 1 cannot conceive of a person
giving a single hour of conscientious
thought to the reasons in favor of Chris
tianity without becoming a follower of
the Nasarent- There. vmlght be reasons
for not affiliating with some particular
church, tut I have never heard- one plau
sible argument for rejecting Christ-"
PREACHES A NEW MESSIAH
Colonel Fltz Gerald Talks or Abdul
Baliai Xov. In Acca.
Colonel Nathan Ward Fitr Gerald again
repeated his message of a new revelation
at the Third-street Auditorium yesterday
artcrnoon. and a capacity congregation
gathered to hear him. "The Lord Now in
Acca" he styled this last address, and
earnest attention was given all he had
to tell of tlie coming of the alleged new
Messiah. There were several in tho con
gregation who were Inclined to take up
a debate or discussion of scriptural
prophecies at the close of his talk, but
the speaker did not seem Inclined to arguo
the question with them at that time.
The addres- tvos a continuation, and in
part a repetition of those made the pre
vious two Sundays at the same hall, lln
told In detail of the ccmlng of Abdul
Bahal. the son or Bnhai Ullah. and at
tempted to prove that the method of his
appearance on earth and his every net
were In strict accordance with the
prophecies of the Bible. That the revela
tion has taken place and the Messiah Is
now In Acca. Colonel Fltz Gerald Ik firmly
convinced, and his theories have at least
the ring of earnest and sincere convic
tion. He deplores the fact that the peo
ple of today are looking ror the Lord to
appear through literal clouds and do not
understand that the word as rercrred to
In the Bible means the clouds or Ignor
ance and darkness. But, though he
preaches that the Messiah Is on earth,
the effect of his coming on the people
of the earth does not apparently enter
Into the discussion. The meetings are
opened without ceremony. without
prayer: the religion preached by the dls
cfple or Abdul Bahal knows no church,
and sin Is only error.
Last night Colonel Fltz Gerald delivered
an Illustrated lecture on Palestine and
other foreign lands.
3IORE SIXCERlTr NEEDED.
Vision of Christ Comes to Those
Whose Hearts Arc Open.
"The Vision of Christ" was the subject
of a sermon delivered yesterday morning
by Rer. Henry T. Atkinson, pastor or the
Kpworth Methodist Episcopal Church.
Hi? rpoke or the necessity or a sincere
search after Christ before a true concep
tion of lus life and character could be
gained. The sermon was taken from the
text, "Sir, we would see Jesus."
"It seems to me." he said, "that these
.words of the Greeks are a revelation of
the great heart-cry of the world today,
and that the iplritual desires of the mul
titude will not be satisfied until in pulpit
as well i In pew It beholds a larger
vision it Christ
"Tnere are nany who speak of the lack
of the reuigoui -spirit at the present time,

-which clor-e examination reveals to bo
a fraud. That church the activity of
which is confined to appearance, or that
individual whose religion is merely an
outside veneer. Is powerless to give a
vision of Christ, and unless Christ is the
real source of the activity of a church,
and unless his face looks out from a
man's life, both are n failure.
"There are many other ways by which
the sunlight is revealed in addition to
white light; the magnificent coloring of
the rainbow reveals It; the coal mined
from the depths of the earth reveals It
as its Imprisoned sunlight Is revealed In

EAST SIDE BETTERMENTS
Improvement Association Wants
'Crushed Rock Put TJpon tho
County Highways Within
the Cjlty Limits.
The East Side Improvement Association
has started a movement to Improve the
county roads within the city limits, and
also the, main streets connecting with
them, so "that Portland may have contin
uous driveways. Based on the assump
tion that Portland taxpayers pay a con
siderable portion of the road tax the as
sociation Is asking the County Court to
make liberal provisions for covering the
county road3 Inside the city with crushed
rock. Judge Webster and the Commis
sioner have evinced a favorable disposi
tion, and will meet with the association
tomorrow evening. By constant agita
tion the association hopes to expedite
pending street contracts. Including the
erection of the bridge over Sullivan's
Gulch. Improvement on Grand and Union
avenues, and tho cleaning up of rubbish
from ftreots and sidewalks.
Dr. S. E. Josephl. chairman of the com
mittee on streets and boulevards, submits
the following reports:
Outlines System of Driveways.
"A system of driveways for the East
Side should embrace good roads or streets,
as much as possible off railway lines,
lending from the several transrlver
bridges to north and south arteries or
travel, connecting with other roads ram
Hying toward the east and connected in
such manner as to afford continuous
gravel road driveways over different
routes to tho starting point.
"The chief north and south driveways
are Union avenut. Grand avenuo and
East Twelfth street. In combination with
East Eleventh street. Union avenue north
of Holladny avenue Is In fairly good con
dition, especially that portion which has
been widened. South of Holladay avenue
to East Burnsldo street Its condition Is
only fair, ami south of East Burnsldc to
East Morrison It Is principally bad. and
exceptionally wretched where the rlckety
elevated roadways crop? the slough near
East Stark street at the site of the fire.
There seems no hope of getting even a
fair roadway over tho last-named part of
Union avenue In the, near ruture. This
condition will drive travel to Grand ave
nue, but here we are met by the yet un
finished fill now In progress, and which,
it is hoped, will be completed In time for
Summer driving.
To Improve Grand Avenue.
"We understand that steps have been
taken to Improve thnt part of Grand
avenue continuous with the fill mentioned,
but ir the Improvement operations are not
men begun and persistently pushed.
Grand avenue will not be In anything
like even fair condition ror use ns a
driveway the coming season. There are
now 'good prospects that a new steel
bridge will be built over Sullivan's Gulch
this year, which In necessary to keep up
with the requirements of our rapidly
growing city. From Grand avenuo travel
can go wst on East Couch, or on another
street, to Union avenue, and cross Sulli
van's Gulch over tho Union avenue
bridge, but this is a poor structure,
whose limits of nrcfulncss and sarcty arc
not far off.
"The necessity for the Immediate
building of a bridge over Sullivan's Gulch
cannot be too strongly emphasized. It
seems thnt the conditions herein named
must, for the next driving season, force
pleasure driving In Central East Portland
back to East Eleventh and Tweirth
streets. These streets are In ralrly good
condition from Belmont to Sullivan's
Gulch, and north or the gulch to Broad
way. Schuyler and Tillamook street?,
thence to Union avenue, which Is a good.
wide roadway from these points on to a
connection with Shaver street, connecting
on going west with Pat ton avenue and
thenco to the Willamette avenue, both
the latter being county roads and In fair
condition only.
Ronlcvard Driveways North.
"Going farther north on Union avenue,
beyond Shaver street, a good road Is
found to Alnsworth avenue, along which
a dirt avenue leads to Vancouver avenue,
and thence to the Portland boulevard.
which connects farther west with the
Willamette boulevard. These bouIevards
including Patton avenue, should be
dressed up with crushed rock by the
county, ami some provisions made for
watering or oiling. From the end of Wil
lamette boulevard connection is made
with a good graded road through St.
Johns, connecting with Columbia boule
vard, which Is the old Columbia Slough
road, and which can be put In good condi
tion by dressing up with crushed rock and
making some adequate provision for dust
laying.
"This road connects east of the city
with the Sandy road, affording a way of
return to starting point by another route.
which may be varied by crossing to the
Base Line road to East Twentieth to
East Alder, to Grand avenue, to East
Washington. East Water and to East
Morrison street and the Morrison bridge,
thence to the West Side.
In Central Enst Portlands
"Or this route tho roadways are mostly
In good condition, except an unfinished
portion or East Alder, between Eighth
and Tenth. On East Tweirth. between
Stark and Oak. there has been made a.
fill which is only roughly covered. It
has probably not yet settled sufficiently
to warant a. permanent improvement upon
Its surracc, but It can be made tempo
rarily better by a little attention from
the city street repair department.
"South. East Twelfth strret Is In -good
condition to Hawthorne avenue. Haw
thome avenue Is a wide street, and hence
the railway line on It does not much in
terfcre with Its userulncss as a driveway.
From Madlsoh bridge to East Twentieth
street the avenue Is In fair condition only.
Planks are needed In places to East Third
street, and some dressing up of roadways
to the city limits; not so much west of
East Twentieth, but beyond that point a
very considerable amount of work Is need
ed. Deep holes ana cross ruts mark the
roadway for n great distance, but with a
good, liberal dressing or crushed rock,
well rolled, a good roadway may be had
for use this season.
"At the east end or Hnwthorne avenue.
West avenue. At Mount Tabor, may be
taken to the Base Line road, or going rar
thcr east the county road south to Via
reservoir may be followed; from thence
the Section Line road may be followed to
East Eleventh or other streets In Ste
nhens Addition, and so on to one of the
main arteries or travel to any given point
desired, butwest from East Twelfth the
Section road Is In bad condition:
From tlie Four Bridges.
"Going' eastward to the four -bridges
over the Willamette River fair to good
roadways to the main arteries may be
found about as follows: Madison bridge-
Along Hawthorne avenue: Morrison
bridge Either on Eas"t Water to East
