Mayor Lane will designate a day upon which the -presentation shall take place, and it has been planned by the Fire Commissioners to set aside this date each year hereafter as commem orative of distinguished life-saving; achievements, and upon each recurring anniversary medals and diplomas are to be awarded those entitled to them for services during the preceding year. In all probability, the ceremonies incident to the affair will take place in front of the City Hall in the pres ence of the Mayor and members of the Executive Board and-C6uncil, the en Tire Fire Department, and other muni cipal bodies. The medals will be made of gun-metal, and each will be appro priately inscribed, while -the diplomas will also set forth-more at length the circumstances that prompted their award. Respond to Many Alarms. According to the report of Chief Camp boll, the department responded ' to 67 alarms during April, the . most serious of which was the Chamber of Commerce building. Special mention was made in the Chief's . report concerning the . heroic acts connected with the rescue of several persons from the eighth floor of the burn ing building by the aid of roof ladders. It was also recommended by the Chief that four- additional life nets should be purchased, thus equipping each 'truck in the department with one. The recom mendations of the National Board of Fire Underwriters are being carried out as fast as possible, according to the report. Engines 8 and 9 have been thoroughly overhauled, new boilers are ready for engines 4 and 6. and the department Is advertising for five new engines for the following locations: One each for Port land Heights, Powell and Milwaukle, East Twenty-eighth and . East Davis, Union and Holladay avenues, and one to replace engine No. 6. The department is arlsff'- advertlfinif for one combination truck and chemical, one combination chemical and hose wagon, and four hose wagons. -Ground has been secured at Mllwaukie avenue and Powell street. East Twenty-eighth and East Davis, and as plans have been drawn and accepted for buildings on these locations, adver tisements for bids will be Inserted with out delay. Immediate action relative to securing ground in the vicinity of the terminal grounds for engine company No. 2 is likewise recommended strongly by Chief Campbell. Department rtelief Funds. Referring to the efforts to replenish the Fire and Police Departments' relief funds, the Chief says: "The benefit at the Heilig Theater netted the magnifi cent sum of 1804: sale of programmes for same, Jlol.25, and donations from a num ber of generously-disposed citizens, $1290, making a total of $2245.25." . Michael Reiff was appointed a hoseman of engine company No. 10, and the fol lowing retirements were announced: Wal ter A. Wilson, lieutenant of engine com pany No. 3, and J. Leoy, hoseman of en gine company No. 3. Both resigned to take better positions. A resolution was recommended at Mr. Montag's suggestion, placing the Execu tive Board on record as opposed to the Idea of locating any Fire Department houses ' on leased ground hereafter. It was explained that there were already three such stations in this position, and this fact was deplored. Superintendent Savarian. of the fire alarm service, reported that the East Pide fire alarm station was in process of removal to the City Hall, for protection in a fireproof building. Work will probably begin within a short time on tho electric railway to IJnnton. franchise for which was granted this week by the County Court to the Pence Company, which plans a double-track. standard-gauge suburban line down the St. Helens road from Nieolai street, at the boundary of the. Fair grounds. fo Linnton. The line is a. part of the big project engineered by the Pence Company to establish ' factories of various kinds on the Fair grounds, and is intended to make the adjoining country available for homes for those who work in the factories. -The proposed road will.be Ave miles in length, and for the present will terminate at the, town of linnton. Later it is likely the line may be extend ed into Washington County by Cornelius Pass, as it is said plans for such an extension are already under way. in return for the 20 feet asked for on the St. Helens road, the Pence Company agrees to supply brushed rock and gravel to keep the road in re- . pair for" the next 25 years, or the life of the franchise. The electric line 1 tracks will be laid on the east side ot the highway, diverging at many t points from the thoroughfare to maintain as straight a grade as possioie. The line offers an attractive suburban trip for sightseers during the Summer months, and with the completion of the St. Johns ferry it will doubtless secure quite a heavy travel. Tho trip to Linnton by trolley and then across the ferry, returning by the 9t. Johns car, would prove an at tractive one in pleasant weather. Social Innovation Brings Grief Colored Bachelors' Club Tries a New Fad and Runs on Breakers -. . : tlfu lull THIJ-iiS were at the colored bachelors' . club. After the long, ceaseless round of social activities attendant upon the Winter months, the young: Bacneiors of the club felt the depressing effects of ennui In an advanced stagfe. There came- to them a yearning for some thing that Involved more excitement than afternoon' tea, monthly hops, In termittent receptions, promiscuous din ner parties, Incidental entertainments and Saturday-night poker. So they g"ot together, four of them, in their handsomely-appointed apart ments at Fifth and Pine streets, with the end In view of devising some ef fective means of creating a more con genial atmosphere. Mr. Thomas Parker, of the well known firm of Parker & Roy, white washers, was the first to speak. Mr. Parker, It Is barely necessary to state, Is the recognised social leader of his set, and has been considered a great catch for many seasons, but, thus far, has evaded the caps that have been set for him. It will also be recalled that at the time Mr. Harry Lehr, of New Tork, gave his celebrated monkey dinner at Newport and thus made it incumbent upon Mr. Parker's set to follow out the latest practice In high society, a great difficulty was encoun tered in securing the requisite guest of honor; Mr. Parker at once met the emergency by disguising himself ' slightly and assuming the chimpanzee role, which he carried out with such aiSiiny uu ....... ... .j . ... deception was never suspected at tne time. . ...

Admitting that New York's exclusive t. n b ui tutlA room for original research, Mr. Parker said there was one thing he had never yet noticea in the society columns, and that was any mention of an. opium-smoking fiesta. He thought the club, with Uttle ex pense, could purcnase a lew oopo uty- . - 1. 1 .... pVilnMA Inntriintnr and with the one big reception make the greatest social leaders ot me coumrj cry aloud with envy. The plan was immediately Indorsed, and a fund sub scribed for the purchase of parapher nalia. That was a month ago. The Innovation nas since provea a great success, and many pleasant en tertainments have occurred at the bachelors' club, chaperoned by various well-known colored , matrons. The xinhrnAma bnve been unlauely decor ated with opium layouts- and cosy corners, the latter neing usea ior Avanminrr TMirnnRHR.

' From the same BOurce it is learned, that during Wednesday night's opium social they were hurriedly summoned to the fashionable apartment-house at Second and Oak streets by no less a personage than that eminent member of the municipal Judiciary, -George J. Cameron. Mr. Cameron is known everywhere for his lavish hospitality, and it was only characteristic that he should insist upon his honored guests remaining until early in August. He likewise gave directions that they shall be given daily access to the county rock-pile golf lin'ks, and be provided with the latest sledge-hammer golf sticks. CONDITIONS Hi BAY CITY GRAPHIC LETTER RECEIVED BV MISS EDITH BlLL. Guard Forces Man to Dig Grave and Then Shoots Him So He Falls Into It. Miss Edith I Bull, a society young lady of San Francisco, who is now in Portland and who has been an active member of the women's relief committee, which has done such splendid work at the Armory, has received a letter from a member of her family which portrays some of the scenes which have been en acted at the Bay City. Miss Bull was in Portland on her way East when her home city was destroyed by the earthquake and fire. The letter In part follows: "We are alive and well and we think that we shall get out some way. Tho people are getting fed and the misery is abating. The fire was terrible and I never have and never again expect to see anything like it. Men cried like ba bies to see the dear old city going. It will take years' to build it up, but the spirit is here, and I can tell you that we are all proud to be Americans. You would never know San Francisco, and the burning of Rome is not to be com- pared writh it. Not a building is left east of Van Ness avenue. . . "I would advise you to stay in Portland until we get out of the chaos. We have no water or gas and are allowed only one candle until 10 o'clock, when all lights go out. It is like '49. as everyone is cooking in the streets and all the food supplies are given us. "People have been shot down like dog, which 1n some instances was perfectly right. The other day in the park a man assaulted a woman, but he was cap tured by a guard. The guard made the man dig his own grave, stood him at tin foot of it and shot him so that he fefl into it."
