The contract for th slap was awarded to the Central Door Lumbrr Company, and the plumb ing to Huedy Bro. The aeiuM work of rontru-tton will begin soon. Albina has be ome one of the most thickly populated diFtrirta in the city, and it wh but four weeka go that the Hoard of Ekiuration let th contrac t for a $250,000 High School building, to be constructed in Albina. Conditions are crowded even now. and It in urgnnt that both buildings completed speedily. The new school, ordered yesterday, will be known as the Homes-tend School. The Board yueterday afternoon let the contract for equipping the East Side Hitch School with four Hie escapes, and for building a concrete wall around that building. It in thought that these im provements wilt aid materially In the safety of the structure. Several women were present yesterday afternoon, to urge upon the members of the Board the necessity of providing a mMni of education for deaf children. Some brought their children with them, to demonstrate what is known as the 4iip movement," a new conversation between tha deaf, which is said to have been very successful in Angeles. The members of the Board expressed themselves as be ing deeply Interested in this matter, and assured the women present that it would receive prompt attention. The recent publication in an evening pa per about a tire In the basement of one of the public schools caused considerable comment among the members of the roard yeeterday. It wan aaid that the lire alluded to was discovered by Fire Chief Campbell while he and Fire Mar snal Roberts were Inspecting the building In question. For some reason. It seems, the officials of the Fire Department have declined to reveal the name of the school where this is alleged to have occurred, end it was voted by the members of the Hoard to call upon Chief Campbell for all of the facta. Chief Campbell Keports. A report of conditions in various public school buildings was made yesterday by Chief Campbell, of the Fire Department, who ha.! just completed his annual in spection of these buildings, assisted by Fire Marshal Roberts. fifcune instances Hie related in the report which call for alterations. Dangerous electric apparatus, hea tins furnaces and pilea of rubbish were found in some of the buildings, and all of these were ordered remedied at mice. The report was filed with the Ex ecutive Board, and a copy will be sent to the Board of Kducation. county is now paving the Foster road through the district with crushed rock After the club adjourned there was an Informal discussion of annexation, for and against, until a late hour.

Goes Wrong Through Phonograph . MlNMnrl Farmer 11 earn Tewder lvre Ballad and DMertii Him Wife aad Family for Afflalty. MACON, Mo., April 26. The placid life of a farmer was sufficient for Frank Schollaert. who has become well off. until In an evil hour a traveling man came along and sold him a phonograph with a number of records. When he brought his purchase home and turned the records loose on his neighbors, hla mother-in-law and his wife and six chil dren he found they were all the tenderest of !ve ballads, some of them so tender that they were almost mushy. A new world opened to the farmer. As he listened to the strains of such ditties as "Just a Little Rocking Chair and You." "I ll Wed You in the Golden Sum mer Tim"' and "My Uttle Dutch Colleen.-' his 30 years of hard life on the farm dropped from his shoulders and a strange psychological change came over him. From the phonograph it was but a step to a matrimonial paper. Schollaert could not foresee that when he subscribed to the organ of soul mates he was doomed to pick "a lemon in the garden of love." When he received his first copy he scanned it carefully, then hid it where his wife and mother-in-law would not find it. After that he would come in from a hard day's plowing, wash his face, slick up his hair and grease his boots, and go out with his phonograph under his arm, leaving bis wife and six children and his mother-in-law behind. Following these mysterious excursions Schollaert walked into the kitchen where his wife was at work one night and .un folded a copy of the matrimonial pa per. Pointing out the picture of a young woman, he said: "I am going to find as pretty a girl as that and marry her. You look through the paper and maybe you can find a man that you would like. Then you can get a divorce and we can both have new partners. Bight years Is enough for one couple to live together, anyway." The mystery of the strange excursions with the phonograph was cleared up a few days later, when Schollaert and Mattie I'pton, a neighbor's daughter, dis appeared simultaneously. Mrs. Schollaert went on a still hunt and found that her husband had been taking the phono graph to Mattie's home and testing the effect of the tender ditties which the music-dealer wrapped up for him. Man, girl, phonograph and 5W&J0 ere found at Clinton, Mo. There was an arrest. Schollaert being charged with wife abandonment. When the man was arraigned. Judge Grear said: "1 could fine you 51000 and send you to jail for six months, but I don't want to do that. But I will tell you what 1 will do. I will fine you $r00 and I will send you to jail for six months If you don't pay 51000 in cash to your wife right away,1' Schollaert says that he is willing to re turn to his family if his wife will for give him and if the judge will change his tune.

Ramsey was arrested in this city while attempt ing to pass some of the spurious coin. He is not suspected of having been associated actively with his confederates In the man ufacture of the money. The trio is in jail and Mr. Connell is accumulating the evidence on which he expects to secure the conviction of Turner and Rafferty.

THE"ESTABLISHED GHURGH BISHOP MTADD1XG OS ENGLISH ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY. Misunderstanding, He Says, All Arises Over Opposing Definitions of the Word "Established." NEWPORT. Or., April . To the Edi tor.) Tour request for more light on the significance of the word "'established" as applied to the Church of Bncland. In your courteous editorial of April 14, would have been granted before this, had it not been for tho pressure of Holy Week and Easter duties. I fear that my letter of April 12, printed under a small subhead in your dramatic and sporting section, and brolcen by a picture fit a trained horse, was lost to most of your readers, and that much of Its light shone In darkness, which com prehended it not: but I appreciate the fact that during1 election time It found any space at all. The general misunderstanding arises, it seems to m, from the different uses of the word "established." As used in the Act of Supremacy, 1 Elis abeth C. I., and in the Act of Uniformity, "the State Church as by law established," the word means that the church was placed under the law of the land. When the links with Rome were severed by Henry VIH's Parliament U&S-1K5) and the King declared "supreme head on earth of the Church of England," the church was not a newly created body, as in Germany, Holland and Switzerland, with its historic past obliterated, but was simply reformed and cut oft from Roman jurisdiction. Ilecause so many WTongly think that the Church of England was "established" by Henry VIII. and that before its day It had no existence, It is necessary from time to time to correct statements about the "established and endowed" church which lend color to such misunderstand ing. Used In its ordinary and historical, as distinct from Its legal, sense, the word "established" means "founded.' On the first Christian Pentecost, A. D. S3, Christ, through the gift of the Comforter, estab lished forever the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth, with its duly appointed officers, having author ity and power to appoint their successors; with its character, nature of work and constitution declared. Apart from worthy traditions of the early spread of the Holy Catholic Church into Britain we have the statement of Tertullian. A. D. 202 "por tions of Britain, inaccessible to Rome, are now subject to Christ" and similar state ments by Origen and Justin Martyr. S. Alban in 306 was the proto-martyr of Brit ain. British bishops were present at the council of Aries (314), and Armenlam (359), and gave their formal consent to the de cisions of the council of Nicea 32f). The Anglo-Saxon invasion drove this British church into Cornwall, "Wales, Ireland and Scotland. In 696 the Italian mission under Augustine landed In Kent and converted many of these rough barbarians. From the union of the two (British and Italian) the Church of England derived its full and matured life under Theodore in the seventh century, 150 years before Eng land was a nation, or had any central government. Hence the church antedates the state Itself, so that It may be rightly asserted that the church "established" the state rather than the state established the church. (See Stubbs' "Constitutional History," Vol. I, Chap. S, "the Anglo Saxon Church"): In the Arabian tale, "Sinbad. the Sailor," after his nfth voyage, was living on an island, when a monster, called the "Old Man of the Pea." dropped down upon his shoulders, and rode poor tnbad almost to death. By and by sinbad made the Old Man drunk with wine, and, throwing him off, was free again. Sinbad, the Sailor., was Sinbad. the Sailor, before the Old Man of the Sea mounted him: he was Sinbad, the Sailor, while the Old Man of the Sea was on his back: and he was the same Sinbad, the Sailor, after he had cast him off. Our church, in like manner, was on the island. The Old Man of the Papal See (forgive the paronomasia) Jumped upon our church and rode It like a beast of burden. I,lke Sinbad, we threw htm off; we bathed and refreshed ourselves; but (thank God) we remained the same old Catholic vind apostolic church, without losing our ortho dox faith, our apostolic succession and fel lowship, our historic continuity, our lawful sacraments and worship, or our divine jurisdiction and authority. ith regard to endowment, you say "the titles to property ran no further back than Elizabeth and that most of them were bestowed directly by the state." Surely you mean "guaranteed," not "be stowed." The titles of parochial property are far older than the Tudor period, many of the documents being now non-existent. Church lands and tithes were simply guar anteed by the sovereign after the breach with Rome; the latter being commuted (1835) into rent-charge, calculated accord ing to the average price of wheat for the seven preceding years. The present education controversy Is quite irrelevant and too vast to deal with nenf. May I occupy a little more space to write a word that will make for peace? No one ean take even a hasty glance at a m am uk vm fmrm.

Ci prnan, iUoHc Cv Co the religious and political history of the last SOD years without recognizing that the hostility between England and Rome has been a fruitful cause of sin. Indifference and infidelity. Even now it is among the greatest of hindrances to the effective presentation of the gospel of Christ, both to the heathen and the educated. It has necessarily drawn off much of the best educational efforts on both sides Into the barren paths of controversy. It is an ob vious truth that division, however we may Vallate it, is, after all. sin, and carries with it the consequences of sin. It is an unprofitable task to try to apporton the share of blame to each side In the quarrel. It Is Impossible, in the light of modern knowledge, to say that England was wholly right and Rome wholly wrong, as it is to assert the exact contrary. The truthful historian may well decline the task of pronouncing a final judgment be tween the combatants and will content himsef with saying to the amerry cham pions on both sides, "He -that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone." The best recognized authorities on the Church of England are Stubbs' "Consti tutional History." Wakeman's "History of the Church of England." For legal point of view, Blackstone will be more reliable than a German professor of law. "The Church Handbook," by Mr. Chan cellor P. V. Smith, LL. D., issued this year, has a lucid articlo on "establish ment" upon its legal side. CHARIJ3S SCADDING, Bishop of Oregon. Works for Tillamook Line.

You think you can tell the differ ence between hearing grand-opera artists sing and hearing their beautiful voices on the Victor. But can you ? In the opera-house corridor scene in "The Pit" at Ye Liberty Theatre, Oakland, Cal., the famous quartet from Rigoletto was sung by Caruso, Abbot, Homer and Scotti on the Victor, and the delighted audience thought they were listening to the singers themselves. At Rector's, the noted Chicago restaurant, when some of the grand-opera stars sang, with piano accompaniment, the diners listened with rapt attention and craned their necks to get a glimpse of the singers. But it was a Victor. In the rotunda of Wanamaker's famous Philadelphia store, the great pipe organ accompanied Melba on the Victor, and the people rushed from all directions to see the singer. Even in the Victor laboratory, employes often imagine they are listening to a singer makfng a record while they really hear the Victor. Why not hear the Victor for yourself?
