ROUTE OF CIRCUS PARADE.
The big clrcua parade, one of the
features of the show, will take place
this morning. The procession -will
start from headquarters at 9:30
o'clock. There will be no parade to
morrow. Leaving the show grounds
at Overton, Raleigh, Twenty-fifth and
Twenty-sixth streets, the Forepaugh
Sells parade will move on Overton
street to Twenty-second street, thence
to Flanders street, to Twentieth
street, to Washington street, to
Third street, to Everett street, to
Twenty-second street, to Overton, to
the show grounds.
Sunday la a day of rest with the) big
circuses.
Early yesterday morning the first sec
tion of Forepaugh & Sells Bros.' circus
arrived from Centralla. One after the
other the trains pulled Into the yards, and
by 10 o'clock the whole aggregation was
In Portland. Somehow circus trains al
ways arrive just at daylight, pflSslbly for
the benefit of the small boy, aifU yester
day was no exception to the rule.
And boydom was In evidence through
out the railroad yards at daylight yei
terday when the trains began to arrive.
The arrival and unloading of a big circus
la a boy's Idea of the real thing, and If
he Is not fascinated by this attraction he
Is not a genuine boy.
Boys, big and small, old and young, a
regular reception committee, had one of
the bURlost days of the year yesterday.
With the transfer of the show to the
grounds at Twenty-fifth and Raleigh
streets he was Johnny-on-the-spot, and
spent the entire day wandering about the
Immense tents. Inspecting the different
animals, admiring the men In charge and
enjoying himself as the small boy can.
Late last night, long after darkness,
when the tents had been closed and all
hands retired for the night. Mr. Boy
walked slowly home, crawled Into bed
and went to sleep longing and planning
for the day when he would be a real
circus man himself.
No more actual work than neces
sary Is done on Sunday. Of course,
the commissary department is as busy
as on other days of the week, but
every other part of the circus, includ
ing man, beasts and the machinery,
spends the day In rest. Only the nec
essary tents are put up. Under these
conditions, the blK canvas which cov
ers several acres of ground will not
be hoisted until this morning. Before
sun-up today pennants and streamers
will be flying In the air from every
pole on the grounds, surrounded by a
temporary white city, men will be mov
ing like ants In every direction, and
circus day will be on in full force.
Bath Day for Horses. .
Sunday is bath day for the horses.
And there are BOO of them. Think of
it. One hundred and twenty of these
are ring stock, performing, Jumping,
hippodrome racing horses and ponies,
and the remaining 380 are Percheron
draft horses. Each animal Is carefully
sponged with soap and water, given
a rinsing and curried and combed.
Everything is conducted along the
lines of such a perfect system that the
Job is comparatively an easy one for
the men.
Every wagon, inside and out, is
thoroughly cleaned on Sunday. The
animal cages are also attended to, but
the work is so evenly divided among
the army of workmen that only a
small amount of the labor falls on
any individual.
A big circus and the intelligent way
In which it Is handled, here one day
hundreds of miles away the next, and
so on for seven or eight months every
year, Is one of the greatest undertak
ings In the world. The United States
War Department assigned a number
of Army officers some time ago to
travel with one of the big shows, pure
ly for the purpose of studying the sys
tems In vogue In moving such huge ag
gregations, all of which is done appar
ently with little or no great amount of
trouble.
A circus man can do anything. Dis
cipline is a great feature with the cir
cus management. Every man has cer
tain tasks to look after and there Is
a place for every piece of material con
nected with the show. On the grrounds,
the cars and In tho parade, during rainy
weather and pleasant days as well,
everything goes on about the circus
with a smoothness that is nothing short
of remarkable.
The first wagons moved to tho
grounds yesterday contained the com
missary department. This is always the
custom. One wagon Is the refrigerator,
another carries the cooking stoves and
utensils. The kitchen is arranged, fires
started and within the space of an hour
breakfast, is ready for the workmen,
performers, officials and the others, all
under one tent.
The Forepaugh & Sells Bros", circus
Is owned by Ringllng- Bros. Henry
Rlngling. youngest of the seven. Is with
the show and is the big man with the
concern. Adam Forepaugh, who origin
ated the business, died years ago. The
Sells brothers are still living and. hav
ing made a fortune, have retired.
Owned by IUnglings.
The Forepaugh & Sells show is one
of the largest. The paraphernalia at
Twenty-sixth and Raleigh streets not
only represents a fortune but Is a
small city In itself. There are more
than 900 people with the aggregation.
The moveable city has Its own Are de
partment, its hospital, its physicians
and surgeons. Its snnltary department
and everything else that one can Imag
ine that goes to make up the ordinary
village containing nearly 1000 human
beings. Last season the show was on
the road eight months and during that
time there was not a single death
among the people. Neither has there
been any this year.
The small boy wasn't the only visitor
to the circus hearlnuarters yesterday, by
any means. There were thousands ot
grown people jstrolllng about the lot from
early morn until dark. The fellow with
his girl was In the majority, to a great
extent, and all were satisfied with watch
ing the maneuvers of the hands and The
sideshow people and all the others con
nected with the enterprise.
King of the Monkey Cage Deposed.
Yesterday was a great day for the
monkeys. Every day, for that matter, is
CIRCUS
HER
ID
an event in the life of a monkey, but
yesterday was an exception. Old Tom,
king of the monkey cage, was deposed.
A revolution has been in progress for
days, and the younger generation of
monkeys won out yesterday. Old Tom
has had every one of the hundred or
more bluffed to a standstill, but during
feeding time yesterday the aggregation
jumped Old Tom In a body and whiped
him until the king felt like a deuce.
Twenty-one great big elephants are Im
portant members cf the troupe. Some of
them look like muclholes that had dried
up. But they are mighty useful in mov
ing wagons about the grounds and in
loading and unloading the freight cars
with the different vehicles.
John Patterson Is the boss animal man.
He Is particularly proud of his herd of
elephants. DucheBS is the oldest, being
68 years of age. She has been with the
show 35 years, having started In the
show business with Adam Forepaugh.
Roma Is the favorite, and one of the
smartest of the animals.
Boston Is the pet of the elephants and
the youngest. He is 7 years old, and
was christened in Boston five years ago
by Mrs. Jack Gardner. The occasion was
an event In society circles in that city,
as it was accompanied by the breaking
of a bottle of champagne and a plate of
beans across his forehead. There are two
African elephants, the others being Asi
atic. Goose Lives With Human Performers
One of the performers is a. goose, and
its headquarters are in the tent where
the other performers are located. Another
character Is a trained pig, and he seems
to realize his Importance, and has an air
as if, he thought the circus couldn't get
along without him. There is an ordinary
house cat with the circus. Some months
ago Mr. Patterson picked up two young
raccoons, and they have become the cat's
greatest friends. They visit all parts of
the tents, climb the poles and go every
where. Wherever the cat goes she Is ac
companied by the two raccoons.
Jim. the giraffe, is worth $10,000. He
wasn't feeling particularly well yesterday
and It called forth a remark from a small
boy that If he were the giraffe he would
hate to have an attack of sore throat.
The delicate stomachs of the giraffe, kan
garoos, camels and monkeys necessitate
another kind of forage distinct from that
supplied to horses and elephants. Car
rots, caboages, bananas and apples are
purchased by the bushel for them. These
fruits and vegetables are mixed with
bran,
"Jim" Is not allowed the same kind of
hay two days in succession. One day
grass Is fed him and the next he feasts
on ordinary timothy hay. Graham bread
and milk are his favorite dishes. He con
sumes half a bushel of graham bread at
one feed and it Is a sight to behold to see
that bread progresing down his attenu
ated esophagus. Ten feet of ne,ck must
be traversed before the food reaches the
Etomach. Jim is an epicure In every
sense of the word. He consumes 20 gal
lons of milk every day, and It must be
the very purest or he will not touch it.
Baby Seal Dies.
A little baby seal died yesterday and
caused much sorrow among the animal
trainers. It was three weeks old. An
other yonng seal which had been the
other's comiwinion misses its chum to a
noticeable extent, and all day yesterday
flopped about the cage whining for its
dead partner. The little follow that died
was a particular favorite among the men
and an unusually smart little fellow for
his age.
There are about 380 performers with
the Forepaugh show. The entire aggre
gation takes pride In order, cleanliness
and courtesy to each other. These people
are all housed under one tent, the women
and children having one end for a dressing-room
and the men occupying the
other.
Years ago Ringllng Bros, originated the
idea of running a clean show and not
allowing crooks to follow the company
about the country. M. B. McCarty Is in
charge of the detectives with the Fore
paugh show. He has been with the Chi
cago force for 21 years, and is given a va
cation every Summer to accompany the
circus. He is one of the best-informed
criminal-hunters in the country, and fre
quently is the cause of an arrest of a
noted thief or murderer.
Dr. J. W. Carmack is the chief surgeon
with the company and has two assist
ants. Part of one of the railroad cars
Is used as a hospital and should any
of the members become sick or get lrv
jured he is given every attention and
nursed until he has recovered.
Ice cream was served for dinner at the
show grounds yesterday. Fifty gallons
were required. This treat is served but
once a week and the workmen as well
as all others are provided with, equal
amounts.
Two thousand pounds of meat are con
sumed dally by the show people. The
boss steward, J. Corcoran, and his assist
ants are always the busiest people about
the place. Yesterday cakes and pies
were baked, hundreds of them, roasts
were being watched in the ovens and
everything so neatly done that one watch
ing the undertaking could hardly imagine
that the kitchen stood in a different
place nearly every day during the sea
son. One thousand loaves of bread are pur
chased every day. Pies to the number of
300 are eaten daily. Apples are provided
and 30 bushels are necessary to go
around. Semi-weekly ' 40 bushels of
peaches are purchased. Then there are
50 dozen eggs used every day, the same
number of bushel" of potatoes. 90 gal
lons of milk, 20 gallons of buttermilk, and
barrels of other stuff.
Altogether 4000 pounds of Ice are bought
every morning. Part of this is used in
the cages of the Polar bears for the pur
pose of cooling the water. Besides there
are 30 tons of hay consumed by the
horses and elephants every 24 hours, 150
bushels of oats, 100 bushels of bran, 15
tons of clover hay and 20 tons of straw
for bedding for the animals. Bushels of
other fruits and vegetables are necessary
for the ostrich, deer and animals who
require a careful diet. Dr. J. B. Stull,
ex-Stat Veterinarian of Indiana, has
charge of the welfare of the horses and
all animals with the circus. He has six
assistants.
A complete blacksmith shop Is put up
at every city. Here the horses are shod,
the wagons repaired and made over and
everything done to keep the paraphernalia
in first-class condition.
LIBRARIES F0R GRANGES

with special reference to the wants of
the farming community, and are a splen
did collection . for that purpose. Their
circulation Is on the same plan of the
Portland Library Association. A blank
application for books Is made out and
signed by those wanting the books.
As the name Implies, it Is a traveling
library. After the books have been read in
a community they are returned to Salem

The old guard, the reserves, every citi
zen of the Rose City who believes In base
ball or has a friend who plays baseball
was at Recreation Park yesterday after
noon to see the double-header between
the Beavers and the Commuters. For ten
Innings the first match see-sawed, and
finally the locals shoved over the winning
ace. score 4 to 3. Ten minutes later the
stalwart hired men were casting jibes at
each other again. At exactly 21 minutes
past 6 o'clock, Umpire Lou Mahaffey got
hungry and cried "enough." The game
had gone nine innings, and the score stood
4 to 4.
There were not seats enough In the
big grandstand and the two bleachers to
hold the Immense crowd which turned
out to see the games. Ropes were
stretched on the grounds to keep the
crowd back, and, all In all, it was the big
gest baseball day seen in Portland for
some time. Both games snappy and
hard fought. Real Hva .baseball was on
the boards, and enough hitting to keep
the most rabid fan pleased.
Ben Henderson and Ely Cates were set
against each other In the opening con
test. Sweeney tallied oft the reel on some
good base-running and sloppy work by
big Tom Hackett In left. field. Jimmy
McHale rapped out a drive for two sacks
In the tnird, sneaked to third on a sacri
fice by Sweeney and stole home under the
very eyes of Bliss and Brick Devereaux.
Bliss threw high to the red-topped third
baseman, and Brick returned the compli
ment, with the result that friend James
slid Into port safety. It was a clever bit
of base-running. Larry McLean drove
Jud Smitn in with another run in the
seventh. Meanwhile Oakland had also
annexed three.
Portland Ties In Ninth.
Francks singled In the third session and
Ely Cates pounded the leather to center
field for three sacks. He came In later
on a long fly by Jim Smith to McHale.
Van Haltren put the third bead on the
Oakland string In the sixth. Then in the
extra Inning came the cllrmax. Larry Mc
Lean pounded out another safety. Lister
advanced him a notch with a sacrifice,
and was safe himself on Buck Franck's
bungle. Henderson took the same means
to put the big fellow on third. Jimmy
McHale could not deliver the goods, but
Sir William Sweeney jolted one safe into
the corpulent Hackett's domain which
rode Larry over the rubber.
Features of the game were a beautiful
running, bare-handed catch by Kruger of
a hit from Donohue's bat, on which he
doubled Sweeney at first, and the humor
ous work of Tom Hackett in left field.
When the game got slow the rotund
catcher would do the clown act as he
went after fly balls, none of which he
ever got.
Second Contest a Tie.
Bill Essick started the game for Port
land, but In the eighth his arm went bad
and Califf was called in from left field
to finish. McLean also was hurt badly.
In the third a foul tip smashed his right
hand and he was compelled to retire in
favor of Donohue. Donohue had been
substituting In left field for Mitchell, who
Is on the sick list.1 Then when Califf was
called to the box Ben Henderson had to
don a glove again and go to the field. If
another man had been hurt McCredle
would have been forced to sign a utility
player from the audience.
This match was fast and full of hitting.
There were plenty of extra base hits, and
the crowd began to realize what a bar
gain it was getting.
With mo score a tie In the ninth, Moore
and McCredle hit. Califf walked, and it
was up to Ben Henderson, with two men
down. It was growing dark and by
mutual consent It had been decided to
call the match at the end of the ninth.
As a last attempt to win out McCredle
gave the word to Moore to attempt a
steal home. Charlie made a good try,
but was caught by Bliss.
The oftlclal scores:

FIRE UNDER GRANDSTAND
LIVES OF SPECTATORS AT BALL
GAME ENDANGERED.
Blaze Among Beama of Structure
Put Out With Buckets ot Water,
and Panic Is Averted.
Hardly any of the 6000 fans assembled
at the baseball grounds yesterday rea?
lzed that during the second inning of
the second game between Portland and
Oakland the lives of many of the spec
tators were threatened by fire. Had the
alarm been spread a panic would surely
have resulted, but such an outcome was
averted through the coolness of Assist
ant Manager Hlgglns and George Ryan.
When the blaze was discovered Hlgglns
called Ryan to help him put it out.
Already the flames had attacked the
braces beneath the grandstand in which
was seated nearly 3000 persons, many of
whom were women.
Ryan and one of the? employes went
under the stand and extinguished the
blaze with palls of water, while the spe
cial policeman on duty at the- ball park
carried a line of hose to the scene and
connected it with one of the hydrants at
the grounds. While they were working
under the stand Hlgglns carried a bucket
of water through the crowded aisles of
the stand to the scene of the blaze, in
tending to douse it well from above, but
in doing this he had to use the greatest
of care in ' order to avoid intimating the
cause of the strange action for fear of
creating a panic. The baseball fan, male
or female, Is an unreasonable creature,
and resents Interruption of his or her
line of vision during the progress of the
game, and Hlgglns came in for consid
erable abuse while wending his way
through (he packed stand to the location
of the fire.
A special patrol is to be kept under
the grandstand In the future to prevent
the recurrence of the danger. The fire
is thought to have been caused by the
careless tossing of a cigarette butt into
one of the knot holes In tho floor.
SEATTLE PLAYERS FOR SALE
Slwash Managers Intend to Recoup
Losses In That Manner.
SEATTLE. Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.) .
Johnnie Kane may not have been sold to
Cincinnati, but such a deal will be closed
by the time the Seattle team closes the
season here, next month, and starts
south. There Is reason to believe the
sale has already been consummated, but
It may have a string attached that will
let Kane come back from California and
finish the home part of tho season.
About the time Kane goes East, Blank
enshlp will be sold. It will bo an out-and-out
sale this time, and no chances
will be taken with a draft that might turn
him back on the Seattle club. If there
is any other player In a Seattle uniform
that the big leagues want they can have
him for a price.
Neither Russ Hall nor JImAgnew Is
going to take any chances with' a draft if
a better price Is offered for a straight
sale. The team-owners realize that the
last trip south Is going to cost several
thousand dollars, and If they can recoup
through the sale of players now on the
list, tho owners of the club will take that
action. Besides, the early sale of the
players prevents a draft and brings in
more money.
ROSEBUTtG NINE IS DEFEATED
"Sawdust Blues," of Springfield,
Win With Ease Score, 20 to 1.
SPRINGFIELD. Or.. Aug. 19. (Special.)
The crack ball team from Roseburg,
which has the reputation of being one of
the fastest amateur organizations In the
state, came to Springfield this morning
confident of winning today's battle from
the "Sawdust Blues," but found the local
players accustomed to faster company,
and consequently went down to defeat
to the tune of 20 to 1.
Conn, the young pitcher for Roseburg,
was easily found and hit at will by the
locals, --hile his support was not of the
best. Springfield's twlrler, the -old, relia
ble Taliaferro was In his usual good
form and had backing of the gilt-edged
variety. Not a single error was charged
up to his support, and the work of the
entire team was excellent. Taliaferro
succeeded In getting 16 strike-outs, while
the best that Conn could do was to strike
out four.
The work of Lemley behind the bat for
the Blues was of the highest order.
The score by Innings:
Roseburg ,0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 01
Hits 1 002000003
Springfield 4 1 4 6 3 1 0 1 20
Hits 3 1 2 5 4 0 0 3 18

OCCUPANTS MOVING OUT
Fear Weight of Fill Will Cause East
Side Hotel to Collapse. ,
The occupants of the lower store-rooms
of the old East Side Hotel at the fill
under way on Union avenue have become
alarmed over the twisting and settling
of the two-story structure, and are mov
ing their stocks out. On the second floor
most of the roomers remain. In the hope
that the structure will stand. During the
past week the pioneer building has as
sumed a warped and twisted shape in
spite of .the heavy timbers and braces
placed in the foundation. This . twisting
occurred before the earth from the em-,
bankment began to spread underneath,
and was caused by the tremendous pres
sure exerted by the weight of the earth
on the soft bottom of the slough, which
is pressed outward from the embankment.
Inasmuch ss the building is a two-story
SALLOW FACES '
Often Caused by Coffee-Drinkers.
How many persons realize that coffee
so disturbs digestion that it produces a
muddy, yellow complexion?
A ten days' trial of Postum Food Coffee
has proven a means, in thousands of
cases, of clearing up bad complexions.
A Washington young lady tells her ex
perience: "All of us father, mother, sister and
brother had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had stom
ach troubles more or less.
"We were all sallow and troubled with
pimples, breath bad, disagreeable taste
in the mouth, and all of us simply so
many bundles of nerves.
"Wo didn't realize that coffe was the
cause of the trouble until one day we ran
out of coffee and went to borrow some
from a neighbor. She gave us some
Postum and told us to try that.
"Although we started to make It, we
all felt sure we would be sick if we
missed our strong coffee, but we were
forced to try Postum and were surprised
to find it delicious.
We read the statements on the pkg.,
got more and In a month and a half you
wouldn't have known us. Wo were all
able to digest our food without any trou
ble, each one's skin became clear, tongues
cleaned oft and nerves In fine condition.
We never use anything now but Postum.
There is nothing like It." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Read
the little book. "The Road to WollvlUe."
"There's a reason."
structure, and very heavy, if it does col
lapse, it will go down suddenly with a
great crash, probably without warning
to the people occupying the upper rooms.
Tha building Is the property of Mary
Turner, who lives in the East, and who
never saw it. H. H. Newhall is the Port
land agent, and he has been doing all he
could to save the structure.
The row of buildings on the southwest
corner of East Stark and Union avenue
are doomed. These are the propertyof
J. M. Healey. The doors and windows
have been taken out. The original cost
of all these threatened structures is about
$15,000.
AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Asrents Say.
Bill at Pantages.
The bill for this week Is headed by Ralph
Cummlngs and company, presenting "A
Game of Hearts," one of the very best play
lets ever produced in American vaudeville,
and merits Its place as the leading feature
of the splendid bill arranged for this week.
Another feature almost equally good is John
Chick and company, presenting. "A Bach
elor's Honeymoon." The Fashion Plate Trio,
featuring the Lazy Moon, Is an innovation
and a novelty. Bert Chamberlain, an old
favorite, will be seen as a merry minstrel.
The child wonder, Edith McMasters. dis
plays her accomplishments as a singer and
dancer. Jean Wilson will sing the illus
trated song- "By the Dear Old Delaware."
and the blograph will present the latest
comic pictures.
Dramatic Season at Star.
This Is the day that the dramatic season
opens at the Star Theater with the Allen
Stock Company. The attraction Is "Caught
In the Web," a thrilling detective drama in
four acta. This play Is one of the strongest
detective plays before the public and was
written by the author of several of the
greatest melodramatlo successes in America.
The stock company Is composed of talented
players who have Just closed a season In
Tacoma, where they played for more than a
year to the capacity of the theater. The
policy of tha Allen Stock Company at the
Star will be to give the public the highest
grade of melodrama, well acted and staged,
at popular prices. There will be a daily
matinee and one show nightly.
"Partners In the Mine."
The beautiful and touching 'drama.
"Partners in the Mine," which will open at
the Lyric Theater this afternoon, is a step
In advance of anything that this clever
stock company has yet achieved. The ten
der pathos, the rugged friendships of the
mining camp, the stirring love scenes, the
splendid dialogue, all go to make a drama
that will take strong hold of the Lyric pa
trons. Mr. Ashton deserves special credit
for his staging of this sweet play.
It Is Criticised.
PORTLAND. Or., Aug. 10. (To the Editor.)
Mr. William H. Goodrich In this morning's
Oregonlan grows eloquent anent the negro.
Evidently he "ha it In" for the poor darkey.
Would Mr. Goodrich kindly "climb down"
long enough to Inform the public (now badly
dased, no doubt) who brought the colored
man to our shores and made him a slave?
1b the helpless negro, degraded and Impover
ished by 30O years of unrequited bondage,
guilty? Is recovery from such a depth the
work of a day? Does Mr. Goodrich expect
Intelligent people to believe the statement that
the negro haa made no progress since hlei
emancipation ?
Furthermore, does the mere assertion at
this period of time make the colored man
responsible for the war that deluged the South
ern Mates in blood, costing millions, etc?
Mr. Goodrich will also confer a favor. If It
Is not pestering him too much, to explain
specifically how the money comes for the pay
ment of pensions by the general Government,
and how much "tax" he paya for that pur
pose. We promise not to "snicker" next
time. c. B. CLIMB.
