D.. founder of tha First Unlversalist Church . of Good Tidings, of Portland, were held In that church yesterday after noon. Dr. Shlnn came to Portland, Feb ruary 25, 1894. and organized the First Unlversalist Church and the Laldes' Aid Society. After remaining- a short time t)r. Shlnn left for other fields. Rev. James D. Corby, the present pastort, de livered the address on the "Life and Character of Dr. Shinn," having known him personally and been familiar with his work In the Kast after he left Portland. Mr. Corby said that Rev. Mr. Shinn was noted among all denominations as a successful missionary. He had organized many Sunday schools and churches In remote districts and on the borders of civilization. For some time before his death he engaged in missionary work In the cities of the South. Mr. Corby paid a high tribute to the dead minister's memory. Besides being a missionary minister Dr. Shinn was a soldier in the Civil War and fought for the Union. Dr. Shlnn died in Boston about two weeks ago, but the news did not reach his former congregation here until last week. At the close of the memorial services Air. Corby announced to the congregation that the Blnghamton. N. T., church had presented the Portland Unlversalist Church with a handsome silver com munion set. Improve Car Service. It is announced that the car service on the Mount Scott, Mount Tabor and Sellwood branches of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company is to be Improved during the rush hours of the day. On First street, between 7 and 8 o'clock at night the cars on the Mount Scott, Mount Tabor and Sellwood branches are filled before they reach the waiting-rooms at Alder street, by people who have gone south to get on the cars before the waiting crowd at Alder street. Many are com pelled to wait over several cars before they can start for their homes. Fifteen broad-gauge cars and 40 narrow-gauge cars have ben ordered for these lines. Trailers are to be added to the suburban cars. There are hundreds of people living In the tast Side suburbs who have not had a seat In a car either coming into the city or returning to their homes for months. Water Hard to Check. Contractors for the Brooklyn sewer have been having a hard time to control the water of the carshops creek at Milwaukle street. The sewer trench has been excavated along the creek for several blocks eastward; and the water was carried over the trench by a large pipe, but control was lost at Milwaukle street last week, which caused delay. The water was diverted Into the pipe yesterday and work will now go forward. The rains of the early part of the week caused the water to flow back Into the sewer trench. Construction of this portion of the sewer Is more diffi cult than anywhere else.

I want the public and especially the people of Portland to know and to judge who is trying to deceive . the public and who is dishonest in the rug business in this city. In The Sunday Oregonian. on page T, appeared an article evidently inspired by a firm of dealers in rugs in this city, headed "Beware of Humbugs." In this article they refer indirectly to me aa a dishonest dealer and say that I am try ing to humbug the Portland public into buying imitation or poor quality Driental rugs aa the first-class article. Since I opened my place of business 14 months ago, this jealous firm has made many public statements that I am trying to deceive the public and they have done this to injure my business and to harm me in every way they could. I have ig nored them until today, but now I am going to show who is the dishonest rug dealer in this city. I can prove every statement I make here or hereafter by witnesses. I make six distinct assertions concerning this firm as follows: First. When I sell a rug to anyone the buyer can be sure of getting the Identi cal rug purchased. But this firm has sold many rugs to the people of Port land that on delivery were not the arti cles ordered but something of far less value. I know of one case in particular where a rug was sold to a well-known Portland woman, a poorer one delivered to her In its place, and tne rug she really bought later sold to another party In Spokane. I stand ready to prove this statement and to give the name of the purchaser deceived in this way. In another case this same firm sold a carpet to a Portland woman and on her refusing to accept it later, they resold it at a higher price, I30 more. In Walla Walla. This is a sample of the way this "honest firm," as they call themselves, do business. Second. Concerning their boasted ability and knowledge of fine rugs, I want to ask this jealous firm where and when thev ever even saw a good Orien tal rug before they came to Portland? They came to America seven years ago from a little obscure- village in Syria containing not more than 300 ipeople where not one of them ever saw a loom or a real rug. The covering used in that village Is made of common straw. Tne floors of tlie houses are of clay, and the previous occupation of the present rug dealers was the driving and herding of sheep and camels. When they were mere peddlers carrying packs on their backs arid selling cheap dry goods and notions. Third. As for quality and the import ing of genuine fine Oriental rugs, I want to say that this jealous firm has never imported one rug or carpet direct from the Orient. All the goods they handle are second-hand and come to them from a second-hand Armenian rug dealer in' New York. ' I am willing to back this statement with J50O, to be given to any charity in Portland if I am wrong, providing that the jealous firm will put up the same amount. Also I will state under the same conditions that this jealous firm cannot show a single rug or carpet in their present stock that they have imported themselves. What they have on hand at present is all second-hand stock that they tried to sell at auction a feW weeks agoby consigning it to an auctioneer of this city. When you enter this jealous firm's place of business you can smell the camphor everywhere, and any one who knows anything at all about rugs knows what this camphor smell means. Fourth. Concerning my owfa honesty and reputation for fair dealing, which this Jealous firm is trying to injure, I will say that I have been in and out of Port land for about 12 years. Before I went Into the rug business I was In the show business in this city, and from those shows the people of this city know that I always gave the very best that their money could buy anywhere. In add! tlon to this, I have been honored by the citizens of Portland with two gold med als set in diamonds, which should show that I have a reputation here for being an honest man and that I have always given the public its money's worth, be It in rugs or amusement. Fifth. I have been In the Oriental rug business only 14 months, but in this time I have sold hundreds of genuine Orien -tal rugs and carpets and without a single complaint that I have ever deceived any one about them. The fact that I have the largest and best stock of the finest genuine Oriental rugs in Portland and my success while I have been in business, becoming the leading and largest dealer of Oriental rugs and carpets of any one on the Pa cific Coast in only 14 months, is proof enough to the public or my honesty, abil ity and fair dealing. Sixth. It makes no difference how or where we get our stock, whether they are consigned or bought for cash, ! will make this proposition to this jealous firm: If my stock of Oriental rugs and carpets is not larger, of better quality and lower in price than is theirs. I will give $500 to any charity In Portland, pro viding that they will put up the same amount under the same conditions con cerning their goods. We will leave the decision to two expert rug dealers, to be chosen in any fair way. Our $10,000 window exhibit will appeal to the intelligent public who understand Oriental rugs. Every person can see for himself whether we exaggerate or not, and whether our display or the one of this jealous firm is the best In the city. Such splendid pieces of workmanship as our 10xl4-foot silk carpet and other silk rugs were never seen in such a small place as these rug dealers came from. Such goods as these were made for the royal families, the nobles and officials of the Turks and Persians, and I do not exaggerate when I say that such a silk carpet and rugs Is easily worth $10,000. But this jealous firm advertises a rug or carpet that costs $450, to sell at $37,500! Is this humbugging the public or not? Poes any one think that the Portland public will stand for this kind of hum bug and will inhale the hot air that this Jealous firm gives forth as the truth? The people of Portland are intelligent and in a short time they wiTt" find out which one of us is the honest Oriental dealer in this city. The public will de cide for itself, so I ask every one to call at my store at 841 Washington street and see which is the honest dealer and who carries the best rugs. (Signed.)
