19 THE MOITXTXGr OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, MAT- 19, 1908. BIG CROWDS AT L Street Fair of the Catholic Young Men's Club Has a Successful Opening. MANY FINE ATTRACTIONS Various Kntertalnlng Sideshows Arc Thronged Young Women's Booth Reaps Harvest Country Store Is Also Well Patronized. In spite of the threatfnlngr cloudbanka ncl tho occasional sprinkling of rain, the Catholic Youn Mwi'i Club Of St. Vary'.s Chruch opened Its street fair and carnival at Morris street and Williams a venue last nifjht. The attendance at tho opening was most flattering and of greater proportions than had been ex pec ltd by the most sanguine boosters o the big show. The carnival will con tinue 10 day. Like alt street fairs and carnivals, th?re are attractions of all aorta, sizea and nYsrrepp of excellence, and the bark en and the speilera holding forth in front of each sideshow yell end shout the meritn of each and every item ad vertised In the flfiring posters and illu mlntrl signs displayed In front of the nuriad of amusement centers. Th Handsome new clubhouse, recently completed, proved the center of attrac iton to many of last evening's visitors, for In this well-appointed building is wJirre the pretty girls hold forth at confectionery stands and use their most pleasing smiles In the endeavor to dis poscnf the fine ap.iortments of candles and sxpetnicat.o Adjoining the palace ot sweets is the country store, where any article in sight from a pair of cor Hs to a tin whistle is to be had for the large sum of 10 cents. In this em porium genial Andy Weinberger, he of gonemus proportions and disposition, holds- forth in the old-fashioned manner t the storekeeper of long ago. This Is a Ileal 1 0-Cent Store. If you see what you want in the baf fling array of merchandise, groceries and the like lavishly displayed to the pub lic gaze, all that is necessary is to pass Andy a dime and It Is yours. It doesn't matter whether you are de sirous of an automobile, a piano or a cake of soap, all are held at the same valuation. Ten cents buys anything In sight, snd the play at the country store last night kept the genial "proprietor" busy. Kvery purchaser did not get an automobile, although many of them re ceived cakes of soap, but that didn't matter, for everything Is to be ex pected at a carnival especIaTy a church fair. A visit to the sideshow attractions elicited the greatest intecest, for there are more of the?e side attractions, the entrance price of which ranges all the way from a penny to the size of your bank roll, and all are equally good. Aside from the "josh" houses, there is a trained dog and m.inkey outfit that is an exceptionally good attraction. Profes sor C. F. Hunt put a troupe of a dozen dogs through some quite clever tricks, and his half dozen simians are a scream. lont fail to take the children to see Hunt's dogs and monkeys, i Tn the big tent where the dogs and monkeys arc shown are 20 funny downs, under the leadership of Jack ITrquhart and Charles Helwig, and the stunts of these Impersonators of the old-time cir cus clown threw the children as well as t lie grownups Into hysterics. Professor Zan I'M wards and Adrian Ward present their original troupe of 20 plantation singers in songs and dances that are well worthy of the large patronage their tent is attracting. A lurge number of Portland merchants and manufacturers have erected booths along the street occupied by the carni val and some are handsomely decorated These displas hIpo attract a great deal of attention, for they show the enterprise snd possibilities of Portland manufac turing plants. Votlnjr Contests a FVature. Voting contests were inaugurated last n'ght among several fraternal societies. Votes were cast in large numbers for the Catholic Order of Foresters. Knights of Columbus. Ancient Order of Hiber nians and the St. Joseph Society, each of which had enthusiastic workers on hand who boosted for their respective lodges. The prize for this contest is hundwme banner. In addition to the contest between the lodges, the advocates of several politi cal candidates placed the names of their favorite aspirants for public favor in nomination. The principal contests inau gurated last night were between H. M Cake and Governor Chamberlain for Vn'ted States Senator: R. K Stevens and T. M. Word for Sheriff, and George J. Cameron and John Manning for Dls trirt Attorney. All the candidates re reived a flattering number of votes, and If their friends could vote as often In June as they can at the carnival, some could safely claim election. Joe M. Meyer and P. E.

Marsh Succeeds Him as Clerk of Federal Court. After having served for 14 consecutive years as clerk of the United States nr cult Court in Portland, Captain J. A. Sla- office to G. H. Marsh, who was sworn in yesterday afternoon, having been selected as successor of Captain Sladen. On May 12, Captain Sladen. who was on the re tired Army list aa Captain, was notified that President Roosevelt had recommend ed his promotion on the retired list from Captain to -Major. He immediately ten dered his resignation aa clerk of the Fed eral Court and joined with the friends of tMr. Marsh in recommending the ap pointment of the latter to the place. Mr. Marsh received his credentials yes terday, his appointment having been rec ommended by Circuit Judges William B. Gilbert. E. M. Ross and William W. Mor row, the three judges constituting the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which comprises the three Pacific Coast states. Mr. Marsh is by no means inexperienced in the work of the office to which he has been appointed. For the last 16 years he has served as deputy clerk in the office of which he has now been made chief. PERKINS GRANTED DISCHARGE Pullman Auto Car Company's Man ager Is Adjudged Bankrupt. United States Judge Wolverton jester- day ordered the discharge of A. D. Per kins, a bankrupt. The discharge of Per kins was opposed by ,T. C. Devlin, re ceiver of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank, on the ground that while in busi ness. Perkins had kept his books im properly, "with the Intention of defrauding his creditors, and further, had attempted to conceal a small balance he had on deposit in, a local bank. Judge Wolverton held that the charges were not well founded. It seems that some time before the Ore gon Trust & Savings Bank suspended, Perkins formed a partnership with W. Cooper Morris, then an officer of the bank, and went into the automobile busi ness under the firm name of the Pullman Auto Car Company. The understanding was that Morris should put 92500 into the business, while Perkins contributed 91800 and an automobile. It was charged by Perkins that Morris never deposited the $2500 he had agreed to, and it was not long until he learned that the firm was confronted with an overdraft of about $2000. This situation was adjusted for the time being, but when the bank closed its doors, the auto company was found to be in the bank's debt to the amount of about $13,000, which was secured directly and indirectly by Perkins' notes. MARTIN GIVEN ANOTHER WEEK Must Plead Next Monday to Charge of Murder of Nathan Wolff. Another postponement of the case against Edward Hugh Martin was had in the Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. Presiding Judge Gantenbein announced, however, that this would be the last, and that Martin must enter his plea by next Monday, S P. M. After several indicted men had been arraigned Judge Gantenbein said that he believed this was the time set for Martin to enter his plea'. Deputy District At torney Bert Haney said that the prisoner had not yet been brought up by the Sheriff, upon which Attorney Kavanaugh stepped forward, and asked that the court grant another extension of time. Judge Gantenbein said that he saw no reason for so doing, and put the query: "The man does not expect to plead guilty, does he?" Mr. Kavanaugh said that he had had no opportunity to consult with the pris oner, and said the reason he was asking for an extension of time was because Judge Pipes, who has been secured as counsel for Martin, has been occupied with a murder trial at Dallas, and could not be present. Mr. Kavanaugh also said that .Martin's parents had not yet been heard from, and that he desired to hear from them before proceeding with the case. . - Elmer Jennings was arraigned on a charge of threatening to shoot William Beckett on April 13 if he did not pay J200. He is jointly charged with Carl Jennings. Finis Brown and C. H. Smith were ar raigned on a charge of robbery. They are alleged to have stolen about J700 from Julius Miller.

Fire Engine From SriYinyside Station Saves Many Other Dwellings From Flames. Fira in Montavilla yesterday afternoon destroyed the cottage of G. Way at 228 Broad street, the cottage of Alexander Schubauer. next door, occupied by Mr, and Mrs. Charles Hanthorn, and the two-storv house of W. L,. Beckner at 220 Broad street, with most of their con tents. The home of J. w. Jjundy was also damaged. The total loss will ex- ceed J(W0. Only the timely arrival of Engine Company No. 9 from Sunnyside prevented the destruction of other dwel lings on the same street. The houses burned were about one block from the schoolhouse and Grace Baptist Church N.- W. Bowland. the principal, promptly marched the children from the school house as a matter of precaution, as the sparks were being carried in that direc tion. The fire started In the Way home at 1:30 o'clock, and was caused by the ex plosion ot am air-tight stove, as near as could be ascertained-. Miss Nellie way, who was alone tn the house at the time, is unable to give the origin of the Are, but says she found the room In which was the air-tight heater in a mass of flames, -which quickly spread over the building. Mrs. Fred Newell, who lives across the street, saw flames bursting from the upper portion of the house, and called for help. A bucket brigade was organized to prevent the spread of the flames and save what could be carried out of the building. Patrolman Gustafson sent In a call for the Sunny side engine, which at" once started for Montavilla, a distance bf over two miles. The Are quickly spread to the cottage on the south side occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Hanthorn, and it was soon a mass of flames. Nothing could be saved from this cottage. A determined fight was made to save the Beckner dwelling. Just south of the Hanthorn cottage, but It took fire and was practically destroyed. Most of the furniture was moved out of the Beckner home, but was badly damaged. Arrival of the fire engine stopped the progress of the fire toward the south. The home or J. w. unay. on the north side of the Way house, was saved only by great effort. It was on Are several times. The fire engine took water from the cistern at the home of Mrs. Fred Newell, across the street, and when in operation quickly extinguished the blaze. But for the arrival of the engine the handsome home of S. X. Roy, south of the Beck ner home, would also have been de stroyed. Only the shell of the Beckner house was left standing, and the Way and Hanthorn cottages were burned to their -foundation. Mr. W'av was not at home at the time of the fire. His loss is about S2000. and it fs said that he carried no insurance. The loss on the Schubauer cottage, oc cupied byMr. and Mrs. Charles Han thorn. Is about 11000. Mr. Beckner esti mates his loss at J3000 on house and furniture. He carried 12M insurance The fire emphasises the need for Are protection at Montavilla. Considering the long run the engine company had, uphill nearly the entire distance, it Is remark able the flremen were able to reach the fire in time to stop Its spread. There are no Are hydrants in Montavilla, and but for the cistern at the home of Mrs. Fred Newell, the Are engine would have been useless. Will Retire to Oregon Ranches.

WAS- DELIBERATE SUICIDE Hongkong Newspapers Tell Story of A. H. Rennie's Death. Hong Kong papers that have been re ceived in this city give particulars of the suicide of A. H. Rennie, the organizer and manager of the Junk Bay flour mills, and a man well known, at least by name, to all the millers and wheat dealers of the Northwest. As was briefly told in a cable message at the time, Mr. Rennie jumped overboard from a launch while crossing the bay from Hong Kong to his mill. According to the China Mall, it was a case of deliberate suicide, as previous to leaving the city Mr. Rennie wrote a letter to his wife, announcing his intention to take his life. tMr. Rennie was the only passenger on the launch, which was manned by Chinese, and their actions dls proved any suspicions of foul play. A short time before embarking on the launch he had a stormy interview with banker, and left the bank greatly ex cited, evidently having failed to make some business arrangements, and declar- ng that the world was against him. He embarked on the launch in the after noon to visit the mill, aa was his daily custom. When the boat reached Lyll moon Pass, Rennie slipped a rope, to which was attached his tin document box, over his head and plunged Into the sea. One of the. Chinese crew jumped after rm, but Rennie refused his assistance. and deliberately . kept his head under water. The Chinese sailors soon had him back In the launch, but the miller was unconscious. The launch hurried back to the Hong Kong wharf, under full steam, and doctors were at once summoned, but their attempt to restore animation was unsuccessful. The funeral was held on the following day and was private. The suicide of Mr. Rennie caused a profound sensation in Hong Kong. ARRESTED AS SWINDLER B. Gatewood, Iate of Idaho", Charged .

The check was drawn on the First National Bank of Portland, but the local Institution denies that Gatewood ever had a bank account with It. Gatewood is said to have rep resented to the Parma bank that he had large deposits with the First Na tional Bank of Prlnevllle. It appears that Gatewood did have deposit with the Prlnevllle bank at one time. vom Greenwald asserts that many complaints have come in of Gatewood's swindling operations about Parma. Gatewood la said to have been attempt ing to sell stocks in the Snake River Dredging Company, and in Gatewood Trading & Mining Company, neither of which companies, it is said, exists.

FEEDING FOR HEALTH Directions by a Food Expert. A complete change in food makes complete chang-e in the body. There fore if you are ailing in any way the surest road back to health Is to change your diet. Try the following breakfast for ten days, and mark: the reBult. Two soft boiled eggs (if you have a weak stomach, boll the eggs as fol lows: Put two ' eggs into a pint tin cup of boiling water, cover and set off the stove. Take out in nine min utes; the whites will be the consist ency of cream and partly digested. Don t change the directions In any particular). Some fruit, cooked or raw, cooked preferred, a slice of toast, a little butter, four heaping teaspoon fuls of Grape-Nuts with some cream, a cup of properly boiled Postum Pood Coffee. The Grape-Nuts breakfast food is fully and scientifically cooked at the factory, and both that and the Pos tum have the diastase (that which di gests the starchy part) developed in the manufacture. Both the food and the coffee, therefore, are predlgested and assist, in a natural way, to di gest the balance of the rood. Lunch at noon the same. For dinner in the evening use meat and one or two vegetables. Leave out the fancy desserts. Never .over-eat. Better little less than too much. If you can use health as. a means to gain success in business or in a profession it is well worth the time and attention required to arrange your diet to accomplish the - result.
