Directors of the Montavllla School District, as their last official act, paid off 3000 bonds that were bearing 7 per cent Interest. These bonds run for 10 years, and were paid off a little in advance of their maturity, but at the rate of interest they carried for 10 years, the total Interest charge was J-'lOO, over two-thirds of the amount of the principal. The total amount of bonds is sued by this school district was $11,500, and the average Interest was 64 per ""cent, part being .7 per cent and part 6 per cent. During the life of the district it paid out In interest alone nearly J7000 This covered a period of about fourteen years, or since the schoolhouse was built. South Mount Tabor carried J eww in uuuua duuui live ycaia hi u j m-l cent, then paid it off in two levies and saved the big Interest charge. Georoe C. Brownell to Speak. George C. Brownell has been selected as the orator for the Fourth of July celebra tion at Estacada. Brown's Band, of Portland, has been engaged to furnish music. The school children will take part. Arrangements have been made for one railroad fare on the electric railway, and the last car for Portland will leave Estacada at 12 o'clock midnight. The following young women are candidates for goddess of liberty: Rstacada Ava Lovelace, Linda Womer and Nelva Green; Currlnsville Freda Duus; Sprlngwater Walvo Luellen; Oregon City Nora Hani fin and Ethel Green. A spirited contest Is under way, and many votes are being cast. Raises White Strawberries. S. L. Ellis, who lives at St. Johns, has raised a large patch of what he calls the White Elephant strawberry, a large, white va riety. The color is a creamy white and the flavor is superior to that of the or dinary red berry. Mr. Ellis has 5000 bearing plants and the plants give evi dence of being proline. This berry is similar to the white strawberry W. H. Magoon was developing on his Gravel Hill y farm. He died before he had fully de veloped the variety. Mr. Magoon had made good progress In producing this new white strawberry, and it is probable that this variety Mr. Ellis Is raising is the same. New Principal Elected. The direct ors of the Estacada School District elected J. E. Stubb principal and Miss Mae Stephens, of Brownsville, as teach er of the intermediate and primary room. At the school meeting C. F. Howe was elected director and J. F. Lovelace clerk. A 5-mlll tax was levied on the assessed valuation of the district. J100, 625. The clerk's report showed 127 chil dren In the district: enrolled in the school, 91 pupils. The new building will be ready for the opening of school this Fall.

Joint committees from the Mount Tabor and the Montavllla push clubs will petl tlon the city water board to furnish that portion of the city with Bull Run water through the mains of the Mount Tabor water works, and to take over that plant as soon as It can be done. Mount Tabor Improvement Association has already ap pointed Us committee, and it remains for Montavllla Improvement League to name its committee. J. M. Arthur, owner of the Mount Tabor water plant, will join these two sections in its request for Bull Run water, and these committees are ex pected to go a step further and esk the "Water Company to acquire the local plant. Mr. Arthur at the meeting of the Mount Tabor Improvement Association offered to sell his plant to the city at once and on easy conditions. That is, he would let the water committee take his plant and collect money from the consummers to pay for It. The value of the plant Is to be estimated from the income. This prop osition wjll doubtless be submitted when these Joint committees confer with the City Water Committee. If Bull Run water Is given the people of Mount Tabor and Montavllla. and the local plant Is not taken over at once. It will cut the water rates for that com pany In half, for city rates will then have to be charged the people. C. H. Raffety, member of the water board, made that plain in his talk before the Mount Tabor Improvement Association Friday even ing. He said that the charter would not allow the city to furnish the water Into any portion of the city at higher rates than are charged in other portions of the city, and as Mount Tabor and Montavllla are now part of Portland they were entitled to the same water rates as other sections. It is thought that amicable arrange ments will be the outcome of the pro posed conference by which this new sec tion of Portland, may get Bull Run water and city rates. POISON IN PRESCRIPTION Woman Patronizes Department Store and Has Narrow Escape. MILWAUKEE. Wis., June 24. (Spe cial.) Mrs. Kate Burton, of 1313 Chestnut street, went to a department store today to get a prescription for Epsom salts filled and received what the Health De partment has analyzed as carbonate of potash. She narrowly escaped death by misreading the prescription and taking a smaller quantity than ordered by her physician. Now the Health Department has begun a crusade against the handling of drugs by grocery and department stores. This may eventually assume National propor tions, according to Commissioner Bading. He declares he will go to the Legislature If necessary to gain his point. CARD OF THANKS. I wish to extend many thanks to the Book-Binders' Union, Portland Fire De partment and Knights of the Maccabees for their assistance during the sickness and death of my husband, Ralph A, Wright.

There is no doubt about It, and I am going to try and tell you what it is. The surprisingly superb character of the musical entertainment there this week, and the moderate size of the audience last night constitute the astounding facts to which I allude. Of course It was an ex tremely hot evening at the opening of "The Telephone Girl," and the allure ments of the hills, the river, the glades, even airy verandas, drew people away from the theater. But this did not ac count for all the lack of patrons. It would be an adequate reason for a cur tailed "house," but It is not sufficient to reasonably account for a thin "heuse." Either the people are not aware of the splendid performance that is being given there, or it is too good and fine in qual ity for the present mood and sense of appreciation of the Portland public.- I was almost on the point of saying that I would advise you to stay away; that you are doing Just right in not attending- the performances of the Kendall Musical Company; that they are too good for the temporarily unreasonable (not to say Inane) state of the public mental sense. It Isn't a mile from a lemon, and it Is not an inconvenient distance from any urban domicile. But it will not walk up to your front lawn, and it requires a street-car ride to reach It from the aver age citizen's home. But that matter, the subject of the accessibility. Is usually overcome without turning a hair by near ly every one when he really wishes to attend a show. I believe the reason why some lethargy is displayed in crowding these perform ances of the Kendall Company as they deserve to be crowded is the fact that the price of seats Is not up to the usual altitude exacted by the ordinary road touring musical comedy companies. Take last night, for example. There were present a goodly number of wise ones a fair-sized assemblage of inhabi tants who know and like meritorious light opera and a satisfying company. But the large multitude of music-lovers, the In numerable horde of people who enjoy mu sic and fun, and who can better afford to attend small-priced amusements were not there. And of course the majority of that strange element who go only where they feel instinctively that there will be a dressy or fashionable throng were also absent, as the latter did not recognize last night's performance as one of the big musical comedy "attractions" that come and go and simply furnish an excuse for a gathering of well-dressed idlers. Yet here are the facts: "The Telephone Girl," as everybody knows. Is a pleasing, sprightly musical comedy, with enough catchy airs, an ex ceptionally taking entourage, filled with pretty numbers, Just the sort that has always been popular. The stage settings are amply attractive; the principals as good as the best of the road companies who demand (and get) more money from the public than this company asks; Bes sie Tannehall, a far better soprano than any woman who has appeared in musical comedy here, or any light opera. In years, a woman perfectly fit for grand opera: a scene In the second act which has not been duplicated as to gorgeous gowns and beautiful women since Anna Held was here, and this same Bessie TannehiU to lead them in song. Again, an octet of men's voices sang the "Old Oaken Bucket" and "Old Heidel berg" in a way that reminded me of the night when the men sang In Mansfield's production, and the time when Stoddart had the Scotch fellows sing in "The Bon nie Briar Bush." Lottie Kendall made hit after hit. Mil lar Bacon and Myrtle Vane gave the best burlesque on operatic productions that we have had here for a month of Sundays. The whole length and breadth and snb stance of the opera and Its fetching inter polations, together with the strikingly ar tistic efforts of the chorus thrown in, was more than good. ' It would make the people enthusiastic m Broadway. It is not a perfect singing of opera bouffe, but it is a positive treat to any one who likes music and really competent light-opera artists. The biggest joke on the public is that some people who stayed away from last night's opening thought that the theater would be too warm. The Heilig was as cool as one could desire. "The Telephone Girl" -runs all this week, witn matinees Wednesday and Saturday. PERSON ALJV1ENTI0N. W.

SYNOPSIS. ACT I Central Telephone Office, New York City. ACT II Drawing-room Cot. Gold top's residence. M ADAMB SANS-GENE" is pieasing ana ornate comedy. It was produced yesterday for the current stock week at the Baker theater by a hard-working leading woman and a company sweltering in elaborate costumes before an audience clothed In the gauzy whiteness of midsummer. Electric fans kept the zephyrs moving and cooled the brows of onlookers, as the rather re splendent comedy went through its course. There are several elements of appealing interest in the play that attract the casual theater-goer. The scene is laid for the most part In an hour, or a day, of the great Napoleon's life, when he by a word, could make, or break, or kill, or advance anybody aiound him. It sets forth the strength, the subtlety, the In genuity, the truth of soul, the vulgarity, the natural vigor, the Innate womanhood, the burning animalism of Catherine Hub scher (nicknamed Madame Sans-Gene by her Intimates who knew that she cared not a rap for anything this side of Pan darus) who afterwards, by marrying a sergeant, goes down, or up, which ever way a moralist or student of ethical his tory may deem it, into the intriguing and bad-ordored court circles of France at the beginning of the nineteenth centry. The play is the picture of what Bhe does with those' silk-lined and Empire-gowned termagants, scandal-mongers, syco phants, parvenues, berlbboned man-milliners, mondatnes, soldiers, diplomats, pre tenders, spit, the gariegated concatena tion of assorted monstrosities that sur rounded Napoleon. Sardou made Madame Sans-Gene enough for the entire batch, and in Miss Lawrence s hands the woman never leaves us in doubt of her abundant ability to cope with the devil, the liars, the she- devils and the male schemers that beset her. It is an instructive- study on the doings and the undertow as. well as the surface, of that warlike and unsettled time. The gradations of character, the meta morphosis of bourgeois to noblesse, to royalty, to who-knows-what, is artistical ly drawn by the master-hand of the great French dramatist, and the play Is in adequate surety of execution when It is presented by the Baker Company. We can always Bee most clearly the tragic quality that underlies a situation when the comic side is thrust forward. Thus may we gain, without realizing it. the serious and tremendous straits of the empire, from this humorous study of the life of a washerwoman who cleaned Na poleon's linen, marched with his army as a vlvandiere, became a duchess and was always a true and enthusiastically loving woman. Miss Lawrence reached the feelings of her audience with commendable celerity yesterday when breezily she delineated the role of Sans-Gene. when even at the outset she showed her leadership in her own wash-house among the short-skirted and quite fascinating coterie of blan cheuses, -when she braved her sweet heart's wrath In concealing the wounded De Nelpperg, when she routed all her catty enemies by her wit, when she bowled Napoleon over by her frankness. Inimitable honesty and vivacious drollery. The part Is crammed with effective lines which Miss Lawrence reads with brilliant irradiation. Even her piercing voice, when raised In stress. Is absolutely appropriate to the character. Her fondness for Le febvre. her husband, and his faith In her in such a mess, are' sweet factors in a fabric that one could well imagine not to possess a single worthy strain The listeners to the fast-flow of the action are in a state Jo laugh and cry bravo when Sans-Gene gives everybody tit for tat, and a lot of kicks and smart ing repartee to boot. This means that the actress scored heavily and distinctly In the part. Mr. Baume made Napoleon the dominat ing man that he was, and his performance displayed the actor In an impressively reserved spirit that was effective to the last degree. When he unbends slightly under the power of Sans-Gene's coquetry and Irresistible fooling, he is ten times as strong an actor for the splendid con trast. Mr. Bowles Is painstaking and finished as De Nelpperg. Salnpolls Is out doors and finely strong as Lefebvre. Dills makes a consistent Fouche. Byers fills in the picture with Savary. Miss Neville easily carries off .the best of it among the women (other than the title role) with her rangy and vituperative handling of Queen Caroline. The approach to a hair pulling match between Queen Caroline and Eliza (Miss power), the two precious protegees of the emperor, brought out extra perspiration on my forehead, and I wanted to take the pair but side the city limits and let them have it out. The scenic embellishments were popu lated with a generous number of gorge ously apparelled ladles, gentlemen, ser vants, etc., etc., etc. It is a large produc tion, a good show, an entertaining play, not quite so carefully drilled In the tech nicalities as some that have preceded it. Defenda Christian Science. PORTLAND, Or.. June 23. (To the Editor.) In a London letter to the Ore gonian, published In last Sunday's Issue, the Rev. George Croswell Cressey com ments on the growth of Christian Science In England, and would make it appear that the death or Major Whyte, of Lon don, which occurred some two months ago, is a serious reflection on the efficacy of Christian Science treatment, notwith standing the fact that the English court record shows Dr. Adcock, who stands charged with mansalughter In the case. Is not now nor has ever Deen a Christian Science practitioner. I have had oc casion to investigate the facts of this case, and know them to be as follows: In 1903 Major Whyte fractured his spine by being thrown from a horse. For two years surgeons and physictans worked on this case without benefit to him and in a vain endeavor to relieve the patient from excruciating pain, for which his only help was in the use of narcotics. In this extremity, and with no hope of re covery, be gave up medicine and turned to Christian Science. From the beginning of his treatment he suffered no pain, and gradually gained, so as to be able to sit up, and finally to walk with the aid of his servant, a thing he had not done since the accident. Under Christian Science treatment the man was healed' in less than six weeks from bed sores, from which he had suffered for months while under medical care. The progress was such that Major Whyte withdrew his resignation from the Army handed in under the depressing- effect of the hope less diagnosis made of his case. Early in January, 1906, while - -Major "W'hye was at Southsea, another bed sore developed and grew rapidly worse, and bjpod poisoning set in, resulting In death. Although attended by a Christian Scien tist during a part of this time, he also had in attendance a regular surgeon' and latterly, at the instance of his mother, a doctor. Inasmuch as frequent and distressing cases of blood poisoning which result in death are known to take place under the best of medical care, and since nothing was accomplished in two years in this case before Christian Science was em ployed, it seems only proper that Chris tian Science should receive credit for helping the man where medicine had Tailed to give relief after a trial of 13 months, and when, according to that standard, he was expected to die any day.

Truth about Tolna..RU42t TELLS HOW TO BE SAVED Rev. E. S. Muckley Preaches Last of Popular Series of Sermons. Rev. E. S. Muckley, pastor of the First Christian Church, preached last night the last of the "How Series" of sermons which he has been giving Sunday evenings during the past two months. The ser mons have been received with much flavor, the attenda'nee at the church hav ing srreatly Increased during their pro gress. Speaking last night on the sub ject, "How to Be Saved," he said: "The Bible has been looked upon by many as a book of arbitrary rules which man has to rigidly follow in order to be saved. But this Is n6t the case. Instead, it is a book of fundamental principles so philosophically and psychologically true that thev cannot be ignored without great harm following to man s whole nature. Under Old Testament dispensations these principles had to be formulated Into rules for man's guidance, because he was not capable of applying them without rules. But in the fullness of time Christ came to emphasize great guiding principles, which true men would see to be true, and by appropriating which they could be saved. "The great principle underlying- man's salvation is stated In the text. Peter had just made his great confession of faith in the divine lordship of Jesus. After charging his disciples to tell no man that he was the Christ he began THE POLICY-HOLDERS' COMPANY.

Peter rebuked him for this, saying, 'Be it far from thee. Lord: this shall never be unto thee.' Peter was seltish and did not want his Lord to ignominously suffer and leave him. In rebuke of this spirit of one of his chief disciples the master said unto Peter: 'Get thee behind me. Satan: thou art a stumbling block unto me: for thou mlndest not the things of God. but the things of men.' Then ad dressing all the disciples he said: 'If any man would come after me. let him deny himself, and take up thy cross, and fol low me.' "How is this principle of selt-denial. In the exercise of which one finds his true self, discovered and applied? There are four principles that must be worked to that end. Jesus emphasised them. "The principle of faith that calls for the natural exercise of a power that you already possess. Thy faith hath saved thee, thy faith hath made thee whole. Is the constant declaration of Christ. The emphasis is changed from ourselves to Christ and his Father by the exercise of faith and we cease to look alone upon the things of time and reach out into the things pf the future. Thus we do not overemphasize this life. "By the principle of repentence we re nounce the selfish me for the unselfish. To get us to do that was why Christ told us that except we report we should perish. He asked us to confess to him not because he selfishly wanted praise, but because when we have once openly acknowledged him our native sense of honor will make us stand by what we have taken upon ourselves. The prin ciple of obedience brings us to the recog nition of an authority. In the recognition of which we own our need of help which we cannot supply. And, besides, we thus develop the power of self-control. In all this we change the emphasis from our selves and this partial life to God and the whole life which includes the eternal." Modern Servants of the Rich. Minneapolis Tribune. The high-class domestic service of the excessive rich Is not confined to the cure of souls. Cases are not uncommon where a lawyer or physician practices his pro fession .for the sole benefit of a wealthy man. In the case of lawyers the personal service is more often disguised under em ployment by a corporation in which the rich man is the chief owner. For the fam ily doctor of English tradition we have the general counsel of a great corpora tion taking his orders from ita president. Often the legitimate legal service of a general counsel runs Into every kind of obscure personal service to great stock holders. When Chauncey Depew was gen eral counsel of the New York Central he served and touted for the rich Vanderbilt family everywhere, from the dinner table to the Legislature at Albany.
