There is something. In a name, after all.
This proved yesterday morning, when
u private car with "Independence" bla
zoned in letters of cold on its glossy
. sides arrived at the Union Depot, having
on board Mrs. Potter Palmer, one of Chi
iaco' wealthiest widows; Honore Palmer
und Potter i'a Inter, Jr., her sons, and the
Prince ami Princess Cantacuzene. Inde
pendence marked the bearing of the entire
party, from the lackeys up. The very at
mosphere around the handsomely ap
pointed car wa permeated with 'independ
ence. Kverybody In the party made the
"word sink deep Into the minds of the curi
ous crowd that gathered at a respectful
distance from the car with Its name in
letters of Hold.'
For the rtrst two hours after the "In
dependence" arrived only the flunkies
were visible. Mrs. Potter Palmer, the
Princess and the rest of the distinguished
party took their time about getting up to
pa.c on the beauties of the Rof.? City, tfo
Ho-ustomed had the party become to the
gloomy skies, rain and floods of Washing
ton that they evidently thought early ris
ing was not worth while. But in this they
wero mistaken, for the weather man, not
without' a hope perhaps that Mm. Palmer
: might buy some real estate In Portland,
es she was credited with having done in
Seattle, ordered up one of Oregon's best
November days.
As soon, however, as the colored chef
had announced sunshine and breakfast,
the party began to put in appearance, and
no sooner was the morning meal dis
patched than the menial who mails the
letters and buys the potatoes was sent out
to order carriages, and Mrs. Palmer and
her son.s and guests drove over the city.
Several hours were spent In "seeing"
Portland.
Prince Cantacuzene was the only mem
ber of the party who consented to talk
about Portland. The rest of the party
"tyed bv the privacy of the "Independ
ence." as it shipwrecked sailor clings to a
broken spar.
Prince (irants an . Interview.
Prince I'antacuzene, .1i:st before the
.Southern Pacilic train loft for the south
last night, stood on the rear platform of
the car. and while he smoked a .pipe of
odd shape, tossed off the "independence"
feeling long enough to say that Portland
was a pretty place and that the day
was beautiful.
The Prince, a fine-looking fellow with
the appearance of a rear Prince Ohnp.
beamed good-naturedly at the crowd that
was hurrying to hoard the train. He was
dressed in a neat business suit of mixed
tweed, and but for his dark Van Dyke
beard and ratlwr striking resemblance to
the t'zar of all Russia, might have been
mistaken for an American.
"Wb have -thoroughly cn.ioyed our brief
stay in Portland." he etaid.. with just a
suggest ion of accent, "and the day was
bctutiiul."
"Did your highness drive over the city?"
was a.sked.
"Oh. yes, indeed: we drove to what you
call those hillf back of your city?"
"You mean Portland Heights."
"Yes. it is Portland Heights. One gets
a splendid view from there. Mrs. Palmer
and the Princess were much pleased with
the view of the mountains. It was really
B most wonderful sight. We. had planned
to slay several days in your city, but we
have lost so much time on account of the
floods that our stay here is cut short.
AYe had a terrible time reaching here
mid wc were .'ill very much worn out."
"fan you tell us something about the
situation in Russia?"
"You Americans know only the western
side of what is going on in Russia "
Here the Prince broke off to smile at
a group of Italians who were chattering
in shrill staccato as they rushed aboard
the train, and at .a pair of tipsy loggers.
The loggers were happy by virtue of the
strong drink and as they lurched and
swayed under the weight of the blankets
nnd "booze" they were carrying, Prince
t'antacuzene said:
He Knew Ilie Symptoms.
"They are pretty full, are they not?"
An effort was made to induce the Prince
to continue his talk on Russia, but it
suddenly occurred to him that he was
being interviewed and he sought refuge
1n.ddo the car.
The Prince was the only member of
the party who talked. The others were
not seeking publicity. Newspapers evl
tiently are no longer necessary to Mrs.
Palmer, nor to her son Horace, who Is a
Chicago Alderman. There was a time,
however, in the career of . both mother
and son when publicity was highly de
sirable. That was when Mrs. Palmer
was climbing Into society and when she
was helping elect her son to that dis
tinguished body of city fathers which.
harbors "Bathhouse John" Cogtln and
his political pilot, "Hinky-Ding" lie
Keuna. Hy dint of hard climbing Mrs. Palmer
reached the top round of the social lad
der. She made the proud dames of ex
clusive. Newport society recognize her,
but she had to conquer the crowned heads
of Europe before the doors swung wide
for her. .
Her first social achievement, that 1s.
the one that really paved the way for
social leadership, was when she was ap
pointed president of the turbulent board
of lady managers Of the Chicago "World's
Fair. The bitter rows of the women who
comprised that celebrated body were
many and -furnished column after column
of interesting newspaper stories. Mrs.
Palmer was a born leader and she man
aged the affairs of this board with re
markable success.
Was Not Snubbed Abroad.
Tn Europe her beauty and wealth
counted greatly in her favor and she
was theretiy cble to interest foreign gov
ernment in the World's Fair. She was
reelved at verlous courts and was en
tertained by King Edward, then Prince
of Wales. For her work as a member of
the National Commission to the Paris
Exposition, the President of France con
ferred upon her the cress of the legion
of Honor. Abroad the fact that she was
the wife of a hotelkceper who had grown
9 enormously rich did not count against
y her as it (lid at home. Snubs were not as
frequent and when she returned Sirs.
Palmer wiw tiding on the top of the so
cial wave.
It was while she was abroad that Mrs.
Palmer made the match for her niece.
Miss Gram, daughter of Fred Grant and
:;r.indflaught( r of General Grant. Mrs.
. Palmer met at that time Pi ince Can
tacuzece. who Is a liucal desi-env'ant of
the ; zaiitiup Emperor who conquered
Constantinople in the lr.th century. Mrs.
Palmer engineered this match with the
fame methodical business . acumen that
she exhibited in conducting her social j
campaign and the political campaign of j
her son Honore. Now she Is showing a
curious public that an American girl can
be happy though married even to a
foreign nobleman.

DUBOIS CASES00N TO END
Senate Weary or Delay and Dubois'
Game I'la.vcd Out.
OREGON I AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov. 23. in all probability the
Smoot case will be disposed of at the
coming session of Consress. Senator Bur
rows, chairman of the committee that
reported on. Smoot, has declared that ho
will urge Immediate consideration, and,
if be is sincere, he can probably secure
a vote before the Christmas holidays.
The Senate is sick and tired of hearing
about the "Smoot case" and would wel
come an opportunity to take a vote and
determine whether the Mormon Senator
is entitled to his seat or whether, by
reason of his allegiance to his church,
he is disqualltied from htTlding a place
in the Senate.
The Smoot case, from its inception, has
been. Jugrgled and played with by poli
ticians, and its management has not re
flected credit upon the men in charge.
There is no reason why all the testimony
necessary might not have been taken :at
the session following Smoot's election, and
no reason why a vote could not have
been taken hefore Smoot had been in the
Senate a year. But the men opposing
Smoot,- or some of them, intended to use
the Smoot case to their-own political ad
vantage and it did .not suit them to per
mit a vote two years ago. So the case
has dragged on: volumes upon volumes
of testimony have been taken, and will
never be read, and yef the Senate has
had no opportunity to vote. And the
strange part of it .is that Smoot would
have welcomed a vote at any time: he
has never" raised his hand in an effort
to stave off the roll-call that will settle
his fate. ,
The delays in the Smoot case have been
made very'' largely to oblige Senator Du
bois, the recognized lender of the tight
against the Utah Senator. Oubois has
consented to progress only when he was
sure of success. He has had the hearty
co-operation of Burrows, and until Dubois
and Burrows were positive that a ma
jority of the committee would vote against
Smool they would not permit a vote to
be taken.
But Dubois has been defeated and will
retire from private life on March 1. Had
Dubois made good in his anti-Mormon
campaign in Idaho and had the anti
iloimons In Utah and other Western
states demonstrated that the prevailing
sentiment is against the church of Smoot.
it is quite likely that Smoot would have
been expelled. But the vote in. Utah.
Idaho and elsewhere in the Rocky Moun
tain region demonstrated more forcefully
than ever before that there Is no Mormon
issue. This fact wiVl probably aid Smoot.
. The bulk of debate will hinge on the
question whether it will take a majority
or a two-thirds vote to pry Smoot loose.
Dubois. Burrows and others contend that
a majority vote is ampin to "exclude"
Smoot. using their own language. Many
other Senators insist thn- it Will take
a two-thirds vole to "expi:-" him. Smoot
will not be expelled if it takes a two
thirds vote, and it is now more doubtful
than ever before if a majority of the
Senate would vote to declare his seat
vacant. The prevailing sentiment is such
that a vote will have to be taken this
Winter. The Senate wants to get rid of
the "Smoot rase."

FOR CHARITY'S SAKE
Mrs. Green's Society Vaud
ville Brilliant Success.
GOOD SUM IS REALIZED
Fashionable and Representative Au
dience in F.vidence, and En
tliusiastic Applause Is Be
stowed on Performers.
Brilliant indeed was Mrs. H. D. Green's
society vaudeville, given last evening for
charity In the large drawing-room of the
Xortonia. on Fourteenth and Washington
streets. A fashionable and representative
audience was in evidence, which was en
thusiastic in applause. A miniature stage
placed at one end of the drawing-room
was artistically arranged with handsome
Chinese screens, palms, Turkish rugs and
brilliant posters, which served as a pleas
ing background for the clever stunts given
singly and In team work.
The first number came as a genuitie
surprise to the audience, which was some
what nonplused when the curtain dis
closed the ever-present little German
band, which 'rendered a Bach fugue in E
minor and reluctantly responded with a
symphony in A flat, "Under, the Old -tp-ple
Tree.''
Melvin. Dodson. whose character
sketches have delighted Portland audi
ences before, gave three clever recitations
in his inimitable manner.
The th.rd number of the- programme,
billed as the infant prodigy, Miss Axia
Fargo imitated excellently a small child,
giving several infantile selections in a
charming manner.
In a sketch entitled "A Bughouse; in
One Act." Miss Frances Towslee and Rob
ert McCralcen displayed tin usual "histrionic
ability and kept the audience In perfect
roars of laughter.
Lieutenant Macomb. U. S. A., presented
in a clever manner a male and female
dressing act that would have done credit
to that veteran comedian. Dan Dailey.
Louis Bruce announced as "Bruce, the
Only," portrayed the typical 10, 20, 3rt
cent vaudeville stunt and sang melo
dramatically "Silver Threads Among the
Gold," illustrated by the original Nor
toniaograph. Mrs. Walter Reed and Arthur Alex
ander, whose splendid singing has de
lighted audiences on many occasions,
were forced to respond to numerous en
cores. Mrs. Reed was billed as the "Reed
bird" and Mr. Alexander as "Alexander
at the Great."
Robert Rountree, who distinguished
himself as a clever performer last year
at the Oregon Glee Club entertainment,
made one of the hits of the evening with
his English song, "Doneher Know?" and
responded with a siAe-splitting' farce of
his own composition entitled "Take Back
the Pancakes, Mother."
Miss Nan Wood and Miss Hazel Dolph,
as the "Hungarian Twins," played bril
liantly a. Hungarian duet. . '
Startling and original posters were de
signed for the occasion by Mrs. George
Russell, which were the source of much
favorable comment. The drawing-room
lights, etc., were generously donated by
Mrs. A. S. Norton.
Mrs. Green, who is ever famous for her
successful entertainments, was ably
assisted by Mrs. J. W. Bickforrl and a
bevy of popular society maids. The
ushers. Miss Margaret Morrison. Marion
Jackson, Miss Josephine Smith, Miss
Helen McEwen. Miss Caroline Burns,M;ss
Genevieve Thompson. -Miss Leslie Knapp.
Miss Margaret Montgomery. Miss Mae
Montgomery. Miss Lisa Wood. Miss
Rhoda Falling, who were gowned as
dainty French maids; Miss Fannie Brown,
as Sis Hopkins, and Miss Dorothy Morri
son, as the end girl in the chorus, were
exceedingly good, and netted a neat sum
to the cause by their sale of chewing
gum. At the lemonade booth were Miss
Frances Lewis, Miss Susie Stott, Miss
Lou Flanders. A fortune-telling booth
was one of the features of the evening.
Miss Maud " Halm "and Miss Caiiotta
Parker acted as "spellers" at this attrac
tion. The successful amateur perform
ance was followed by a dance, with mu
sic by Parson's orchestra.

IVERNA LOSES CHARTER
French Bark Bougainville Taken in
- Place to Load Wlieat.
Because she beat .oft shor,e for over
a month after she was due to reach
the Columbia River, the British ship
Iverna. Captain Colltngwood, has lost
her charter, and in her place the
Northwestern Warehouse Company has
engaged the French bark Bougainville.
The Iverna was chartered while at
Acapulco, and the charterers expected
her here for early loading, hut on ac
count of the delayed arrival of the
vessel and the probable time that will
be? required to get in shape for receiv
ing her outward cargo, . they decided
that a change would have to be made,
and yesterday closed negotiations for
the Frenchman. The Bougainville came
here with a -cargo of -coal, which was
discharged several days ago, and the
work of lining her for the outward
voyage is almost complete "and she
will be ready' to take on w heat Mon
day. She will go to Queenstown. and
Falmouth for orders.
As grain vessels are In demand the
Iverna will probably be taken in a
few' days.

of fable. That ought to give a contrast that will jar them."
And so was born the far-famed "Fables in Slang" so famed, in fact, as almost, but not
quite, to make the public forget "Artie."
"More Fables" followed. Then came "The -Girl Proposition." and laughter rolled up from
every corner of the States. In quick succession appeared the books, "People You Know,"
"Breaking Into Society," and "True Bills."
Mr. Ade's entry of the dramatic field was quite as accidental, or unintenional, as his' pre
emption of the field of slang. A young friend, a composer, asked him to write the words of a
song. Before Mr. Ade was aware of it, the song had developed into the libretto of a musical
satire intended for amateur publication. Henry. Savage heard of the piece, at once secured it.
and so the world of fun became acquainted with the joys and woes of the "Sultan of Sulu."
This was in 1002. "Peggy From Paris" followed the next year, and in that year also was pro
duced the "County Chairman." Two years ago came the "Sho-gun" and "The College
Widow."
Mr. Ade's first literary effort was made when. he was 12 years old. It was called "A Basket
of Potatoes." Oddly enough, it. was in form of a fable, and it saw the light of day in the Gazette,
of Kcutland, Indiana, where Mr. Ade was born.
While at Purdue -University, where he" graduated in 1887, Mr. Ade wrote for the university,
publications and was university correspondent for several city papers. After leaving college, he
worked on two newspapers in Lafayette, the aniversity town. In June of 1800 he went to Chi
cago and got a job as reporter on a Chicago paper at ten dollars a week.
Less than ten years later he was gathering in the dollars by the thousands.
With a portion of the money that has poured in on him as a result of writing slang to suit
the popular fancy, Mr. Ade has purchased an extensive farm near Brook, Indiana. Here he
spends a good part of his time. And though he delights to loaf on the farm, still he sees to it
that it brings him in 8 per cent on the money invested. He calls his acres some 900 in number
Hazelden Farm.
Mr. Ade's parents are living in Kentland. They will soon celebrate the 56th anniversary of
their wedding.

the Street and of the Town.'? One day lie w-js hard put to it
for copy, and to take he place of the usual slrm? of sketches he
wrote an account of t. church social which he had heard from
the lips of a tough and slanjry youth who had 'been held up for
tickets by a member of his family. Jlr. Ado trave the name of
"Artie" to the young: man.
The sketch was written with no thought of fame ahead, but
merely to fill a column. Nevertheless, the comments on "Artie"
were so favorable withal that "Artie" appeared airain the fol
lowing: week, this time slangily giving an intimate picture of a
poker game. Thereafter, the demand for "Artie" was so pro
nounced that he made weekly appearances.
These "Artie" sketches constituted Ir. Ade's first, book,
being published between covers in 180(i. Six years later a
hundred thousand copies of the book had been sold.
Mr. Ade's second book was "Doe Home." and two years

other girls began to make sheep's eyes
at him. Probably they had been doing
so all along, but he. blind as lovers
usually are, hadn't noticed.
Possessing good looks, an artistic
temperament, a little of the world's
goods and last, but decidedly not
least, five medals for distinguished
service in South Africa, he was con
sidered a good catch.
And he has been caught for the sec
ond time. H'e is as happy now as he
was when he thought that Miss Huck
was soon to become his brldo and says
he has fogotten the girl who preferred
the humble carpenter.
Kemp is working in a studio on
Twelfth street, near Washington, and
when seen yesterday afternoon did not
look much like a broken-hearted lover.
He could not be persuaded to say much
about his love affair.
"Are you Mr. Kemp, the Boer war
hero, who was given live medals for
bravery on the fieid?" was the inquiry.
"I am," he answered proudly.
"The report Is that your broken
heart has been mended and that you
are about to wed another?"
"Well, you can say that I am not
married as yet; when I do marry I
shall let you know about it. But really,
though I may be a war hero and an
artist. I think my love affairs should
be kept private. I will say, however,
that I have forgotten all about Miss
Huck: haven't heard rrom her since
