Dr. G. I Tufts, district superintendent of th Reform Bureau of the Pacific Coast, has returned to Portland from at tending; the Idaho Legislature. While there Dr. Tufts . gave his attention to securing the passage of the Sunday rest bill. Speaking of the new law last night, ho said: "The biir was passed by a vote of 33 to 14 in the House ajid IS to 4 in the Senate. It will go into effect the second Sunday of May. It is a law which con cerns the public at large, and contains many Important provisions. "It provides that it shall be unlawful for any person to keep open oh Sunday for the purpose of any business, any store, whatever, except hotels and restau rants for furnishing lodging and meals, livery stables, stores for the sale of medicines or sickroom supplies, under takers, news stands for the quiet sale and delivery of daily papers and maga zines. The law does not apply to the sale of non-intoxicating refreshments, candles and cigars. The penalty for violating this provision Is a fine of J35 to ilOO, or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, and upon a second conviction by both such fine and imprisonment. "It also stipulates that it shall be un lawful to keep open on Sunday any saloon or place of any kind or description in which liquors are at any time sold or exposed for sale: or to sell liquor except for medicinal purposes; or to keep open . any theater, dancehouse, racetrack, merry-go-round, circus or show, concert saloon, billiard or poolroom, bowling-alley, varlety-halL or any such place of public amusement. The penalty for the violation of this provision is a fine of $30 to $250 for each offense, and Imprisonment not to exceed ft) days, and upon a second conviction the revoking of the license for two years for maintaining such place of business. "The law makes It the duty of each prosecuting attorney, 6heriff. constable, city or town marshal and all other public officers of the state to Inform against and proaecuU all persons ruiltv of violating this act; and any officer who refuses or wilfully neglects to do . so is subjected to a tine of $50 to $o00, and his office shall -be declared vacant for the re mainder of his term. "The enactment of this law leaves Cali fornia as the only date of the Union without such legislation." Sherwood Recital at Muiiark Hall 1 Programme.

Sherwood Isolden'a Liebes-Tod (from Tristan and Isolde) Wagner-Liszt Faust Walts Gounod-Liszt THH Sherwood .recital at Murlark Hall, following so closely the Rosen thal concert, did not make the impres sion it would have done under more fa vorable circumstances, 5ut was, neverthe less, deeply appreciated by the several hundred music-lovers who attended. A noticeably large number of teachers and pupils were present, for Sherwood Is famed as an instructor as well as a mas ter musician. The programme was broad in Its scope, covering the classics and modern roman tic schools from the time of Bach to the present day. The swinging rhythm and military character of "En Route," by Godard. was in marked contrast to the capricious -witchery of "Soiree de Vi enne," .No. S, by Liszt, while the caress ing loveliness of his touch in the much admired. "Traumerei" of Schumann af forded ODDOrtunltV for pharmino llv. and shade in pianissimo. The original composition, "Exhilaration." was given with a dash and abandon that compared favorably with the classic compositions on the programme. Tha contrasting personalities of Rosen thal and Sherwood were shown In the in terpretation of the "Appassionata." Op 57, of Beethoven. While Rosenthal gave a passionate rendition that -was almost pagan in its wild fury, Sherwood infused into the notes a resignation that held in check the emotions. Sherwood's art is more easily compre hended by the general public than Rosen thal's, and is full of suggestion for the teachers and talented amateurs. Mr. Sherwood has -been engaged to give a second recital Friday night, in the Unitarian Chapel, when he will be assist ed by a former Oregon pupil, Mrs. Alice Marshall, of Shedd. MRS. E. E. GORE. OKLAHOMA IS STIFLING. Extreme Heat and Humidity Guth rie Has 102 in Shade. GUTHRIE, Okla.. March 19.-AU heat records of Oklahoma were broken to day when the registration was 102 in the shade.

NEW YORK. March lS.-The American Numismatic and Archaeological Society approved last night the recommendations of its committee on coinage in regard to the issue by the United States of an en tirely new coinage, artistic in design. Thevcommittee, of which Dr. George F. Kuns is at the head, was empowered to go ahead and bring the society's recom mendations to the attention of the proper authorities. The coinage committee of the society be lieves that Congress ought to appropriate $10,000 apiece to get new designs for each of the ten denominations included in the coinage. CARD OF THANKS.

We will testify likewise at any Government investigation: First Meats from small East Side butchers. (We have no reason to believe the meat was not good, but never theless it was not Government inspected.) Second Hogs from the feeders of Hogtown. (They were not Government inspected.) Third Meat that was shipped to Seattle and caught in the flood. After lying in closed cars for several days and getting sticky and slimy it was sent out to the different Beef Trust markets. (It had been Government inspected about ten days previously.). Fourth Meats that were Government inspected in Chicago and sent out to Portland to be sold to the public. And all this time we don't say one word against Government inspection (nor the officials in charge of the bureau in this city, whom we consider honest, trustworthy men), but we do say a whole lot against those concerns and mar kets who advertise Government inspection merely for a cloak to carry out a monopoly. They seem to think that Gov ernment inspection means Government protection They do moi. in a day t discredit Government inspection than the Nation can do in ten years to build it ujj.
