The street surrounding the school ground purchased for the Waverly-Richmond suburb, near the Section Line Road, on Habersham street, are to be graded out and the material ued irf raising the grounds. By grading out these streets considerable dirt can be secured and the Kite of the school building raised several feet. The Waverly-Richmond Club has this matter in hand. The club also will take up and push with vigor the project of making th Section Line County Road a street, which will enable the property owners to improve It. At present the road is a street as far as East Twenty-first, and then Is a county road from there out. It is in bad con dition. There is a dangerous ditch on the south side for some distance. With new homes springing up on both sides of the Secttoaj Line Road, it is felt that it should be kept in better condition to South Mount Tabor. Funeral Services for A. P. Woi.ver ton. The remains of Albert P. W'olver ton, of Spokane, who died at Los Ange les last Friday night, will reach Port land tomorrow afternoon en route to Spokane for Interment.

E. S. Muckley. Later in the afternoon the body will be returned to the depot and forwarded on the evening train to Spo kane, where burial will take place fol lowing services at the home of Mrs. J. C. Byrd, a sister of the deceased, Sunday afternoon. These services will probably be under the auspices of the Oddfellows, of which Mr. Wolverton was a prominent member. Veterinary Medical Board.

The place of examination had not been decided upon yesterday but applicants may meet Dr. Korlnek, president of the Board, or W. H. Lytle, secretary, at the Oregon Hotel.

If not a graduate from a recognized veter inary college, applicants must present evidence of their qualifications and may not practice in the field of a graduate veterinarian. Clay-Sword Makriaoe. Through an error in copying the record, the name of Dr. Clay'a bride In marriage license statistics was printed yesterday as Miss Wood. The young lady's name was Miss Helen S. Sword. Dr. Clay Is a prominent physician of Salem and his bride a former resident of Topeka, Kan. While the two came from the same locality in the East, they did not become acquainted u.itil they met In Portland, which ac quaintance rapidly developed into a more tender relationship. They were married Wednesday evening In this city and left upon their honeymoon and upon' their re turn will take up their residence at the Willamette Hotel. Salem, where Dr. Clay had his bachelor quarters for the past few years. Congregational Bazaar.

Spontan eous combustion in a heap of old rags In the new Regal Shoe Store, on Wash ington street, between Seventh and Park streets, was the cause of a general fire alarm about R:30 o'clock last night, and caused a large crowd to gather. The Are was quickly extinguished and no dam age was done. Several engines, trucks and other Are apparatus answered the alarm. Montavilla Social.

At the meeting of the Peninsular Im provement Association Tuesday night It was decided to join forces with the Vnl verslty Park Board of Trade In urging that Columbia Park be beautified with graveled walks, flower beds. etc. There was considerable discussion concerning Columbia Park, and it was the general belief that It ought to be. made more at tractive as It Is located in the central por tion of the Peninsula, and has 30 acres that could be made as beautiful as the City Park on the West Sid It Is pro posed that the cleared space of perhaps 10-acres on the east side of the part not eovered with trees be planted In roses and flowers. Melvln Carter was ap pointed a committee to confer with the University Park Board of Trade. A report was made to the effect that the property owners on Plppon street were willing to open It 60 feet wide, but ob jected to 70 feet. The club will endeavor to convince them that a 70-foot street Is the best. Non-resident property owners will be looked up and their opinion se cured. The object sought is a 70-foot HTfl DSWn Hit" I riuiinuia iium 1.411, worth avenue to St. John. The club also has a movement under way for the open- I Ing and grading of Slocum avenue be tween Peninsula avenue to university Park. It was announced that some of the property- owners through which )o- cum avenue will pass are willing to allow the extension to be made. Other street Improvements will be undertaken. It was reported that the Board of i)du cation had promised to erect a new six or eight-room sehoolhouse next year to replace the present four-room structure. This announcement was received with much satisfaction. M. A. A. C. Old Ballad Concert and Ball jr REPRESENTATIVE audience at r tended the Old Ballad Concert and Ball at the Oriental building, last night, undef the auspices of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. The arena used during the recent horse show was meta morphosed into a splendid ballroom, the' boxes and balconies draped with bril liant red and white Multnomah colors combined with flags. The boxes In most Instances were occupied by the patrons and patronesses and the stage boxes by the Multnomah football team and of ficers of the club. The first number on the programme, a violin solo, "Concerto No. 2, Romance" (Wieniawskl), was played with feeling by Mrs. Susan Fennel Pipes, of Eugene. and showed breadth of tone and tech nique. Julius V. Seyler, pianist, a recent arrival in the musical circles of Port land, In the Strauss-Tanslg Valse Ca price, "Man Lebt nur Elnmal." received a welcome. This number was played brilliantly with fine execution. Carl Sobeski, of Boston, a lyric bari tone, who has a reputation as a com poser here and abroad, sang most pleas ingly several numbers. His voice is charmingly adapted for the type of songs which he chose for the occasion. "The Two Grenadiers" number was won derfully well sung. Mrs. Walter Reed's sympathetic rich contralto was heard to advantage In "Annie Iaurie." Quoting from one of the oft-repeated verses, "Her voice was low and sweet," seems admirably adapted as a description of Mrs. Reed's voice. Miss Kathleen Lawler's clear lyric .so prano showed splendid carrying quality and purity of tone In Balfe's "Killar ney." Miss Frances Batchellor had the distinction of being the only aTnateur on the programme and played brilliantly the pretentious number, Liszt's "Polo naise in E major." Since his return from abroad, Frederick Creitz, the vio linist, shows improvement in breadth of tone and technique. He scored heavily in Ernst's "Hungarian Aria." Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer, dramatic so prano, was heard after an absence of almost a year. The carrying quality, temperament and delightful timbre of her voice are still in evidence, and her one number, "The Star-Spangled Ban ner," was received with enthusiasm, the entire audience standing. The accompanists. Miss Elizabeth Pat terson Sawyer, Edgar E. Coursen and Mr. Hutchinson, contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the programme, which was in full as follows: Concerto No. 2. Romance Wieniawskl Mrs. Susan Fennel Pipes. Valse caprice, "Man Lebt nur Elnmal".. Strauss-Tausig Julius V. Seyler. "The Little Irish Girl" H. Lohr Mr. Sobeski.

Warren Barrtngton Brandon Hurst Mary Warren Maude Fealy Oliver Thorpe Richie Ling Robert Forsythe Wilson Forbes Miss Jo Forsythe Mary Bertrand Mrs. Van Garkerken Florence Robinson Mrs. Davenport .Marlon Graham Lady Frainton Claire Arnold Mrs. Prescott Lane.. Paula Bachman ADranam Isaacs Harry Levala Isaac Abrahams J. M. Burns Jenkins John 8herman T Williams Frank I.nnrier T BY JOHN JAT HARRISON. IT requires no more than the Angers of one hand to enumerate the really great stars of the weaker sex on the dramatic stage today. Commencing with the thumb, it might be that Maude Fealy would be the little finger, if only the or der of their "arrival" were to be con sidered. In order of merit, ability, per sonal attraction and attainments she would come pretty near starting the line of digits. To a certain extent It is a handicap for a young actress to be compelled to live down a record of having her picture re ceive first prize in a beauty contest, es pecially when that record has been at tained In the art center of the world- Paris. It is no small distinction to have supported Sir Henry Irving, and just a little less to have been leading woman in our own American author-actor's com pany, that of William Gillette. Miss Fealy has not lived down the first-named notoriety, but she has done better she has Improved upon It. No more strikingly beautiful actress has been seen across the footlights since the day of Adelaide Neilson, and Miss Fealy, though a dif ferent type of feminine loveliness, pos sesses much of the dramatic genius that made Mile. Neilson the success of the early seventies. After seeing he new star yesterday in "The Stronger Sex" at the Heilig theater, Irvlng's and Gillette's choice of Miss Fealy as a member of their companies can be '-ell understood. Miss Fealy has the same charm of man ner possessed by Maude Adams, that made that other Western girl the pet of the public that she Is, and as for talent, the newcomer need take no second place to any of her artistic sisters, whether from the East or West. Miss Fealy had been heralded almost with fulsomeness, and the capacity houses yesterday and last night came with expectation, raised to the highest point, but It is no exaggeration to say that not a single person left the theater after the last pleasing tableau not fully of the opinion that for once advance notices were Justified. Not only has the Dresden china beauty fulfilled expectations in her per sonality, she also evidenced dramatic talent equal to that personality In every particular. She is winsome, con vincing, marvelously natural, and is gifted with a rarely musical voice, clear and bell-toned. Her training Is of that high order that enables her to cover a man with a pistol without the customary melodramatic flourish and makes it appear one of the most casual things in the world, ,but at that, the lntftntion to shoot If occasion warrant is not lacking even if the pistol be unloaded. When in the play the actress Is called upon to show strong emotion she rises to the point al most of perfection, but it is in the kittenish, teasing moods that she wins most friends, and there are plenty of opportunities in "The Stronger Sex" for the charming little lady to display her various accomplishments. Florence Robinson, who Is well and favorably known to Portland from previous visits when she supported Florence Roberts, does the part of an English grand dame to the life. Her characterization is one of the best pieces of work seen here in many a day. Miss Mary Bertrand as "Jo Forsythe" gives a fairly good account of herself, but the part calls for a few natural endowments unfortunately not possessed by the young woman. She has dramatic ability, however, and that makes up for much. The other female parts are filled satisfactorily, but are of minor importance. The audience welcomed Richie Ling boisterously, and his acting of "Oliver Thorpe" was up to the standard this ex cellent artist set when here as a mem ber of the Callfornlans in light opera. Brandon Hurst, an English actor who supported Mrs. FIske last season, estab lished himself at once In Portland as a finished and painstaking actor, and as the husband of Mary Warren (Miss Fealy) carried out the author's idea to the letter. He is not too English y'know; Just enough so to impress an American audience favorably. The Hebrew money lenders and the house servants are ad mirably cast. ' As for the play, "The Stronger Sex" is a cleverly constructed story of the ex change of a title for cash. Mary War ren has a most difficult problem pre sented to her for solution before she has an opportunity to change her wedding gown. She sets about it with a deter mination that surprises not only her husband but everybody else, especially the audience. She is an American girl In England. and her cousin, Oliver Thorpe. Is a good type of a clean, self- reliant American gentleman. There are the usual misunderstandings, and the young wife Is the last to find out the truth concerning her husband's change of heart, but the whole play works through along new lines and ends In a way that will please tne people of Portland who were unable to see It at yesterday mati nee or last night, for they are certain to attend the remaining three performances of the engagement. A word must he said congratulatory of Mr. Cort, under whose management Miss Fealy Is appearing. He has staged the piece In simply gorgeous style. THANKSGIVING WITH ELKS Members and Their Kriends Partake of Luncheon In the Stein Room. Beginning at noon yesterday members of the local lodge of Elks and their friends called at the clubhouse and ex changed good cheer and partook of the Thanksgiving luncheon prepared and spread in the stelnroom. During the aft ernoon bachelor members were congre gated in the clubrooms amusing them selves In the various forms provided, and the stewards and assistants were kept busy serving turkey sandwiches, lobster salad and such like dainties all the aft ernoon and far into the evening. Mar ried men were by no means conspicuous by their absence, for the hearty club spirit evidenced in the representation of members was shared by those who had only time to drop in, exchange a word or two with their fellow-herdsmen and de part to sit at the head of the family table and "help" the kids to drumsticks and a "bit of the white meat."' The rooms were decoratad with Fall greens and chrysanthemums and pre sented a beautiful appearance. Secretary Bills and his staff were In evidence dur ing the day and were ever ready at all times to lend aid toward making the day pleasant and agreeable to visitors. The customary greeting of the Christmas holiday season was altered by "the best people on earth" to "much obliged,'' which they decided was the proper thing to say of a Thanksgiving. WHERE T0 DINE.
