What use a burglar can make of citizwaship papers when the general election Is wer, and the registration books are closed. Is the prob lem which was put up to Sheriff Stevens' deputies yesterday. The houseboat of P. Jenson, anchored one mile below the North Pacific Mill, was robbed sometime Tuesday. Jenson reported the robbery last nisrht. It is believed to have been the work of a tramp, as only a suit of clothes, pair of shoes, and Jenson s citi zenship papers were taken. Jenson, who is employed by J. F. Shea, a plumber at Second and Ankeny streets, left the scow Tuesday morning as usual, to go to work. When he returned his Sunday suit was missing-, as well s his best pair of shoes. Entrance- to the houseboat was effected by pryins the padlock open with a bar. A rifle and J2 in silver were left in the scow untouched. This leads to the belief that the thief was either frightened away suddenly, or was in need only of the suit. Pionber Badges. The badges for the members of the Oregon Pioneer Associa tion, to be worn at the annual reunion' of 1S0K. are now ready and may be se cured by calling upon George H. Himes, secretary of the Association, at i!s office in the rooms of the Oregnn Historical Society, top floor of the City Hall. Al ready a considerable number havo been issued, the secretary having received ap plications from numerous pioneers throughout the Pacific Coast, who, as yet, have never attended an annual reunion. The work of the Pioneer Woman's AuxiL. iary In the matter of preparing the ban quet is progressing most satisfactorily, and a final meeting of the Auxiliary , will be held at the residence of Mrs. C. 21. Cartwright, the chairman, next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at which full re ports from all committees will be heard. Sues Abtohia for $30,000. Complaint was filed In the United States Circuit Court yesterday by Miss Annie Anderson, an alien, being a citizen of Norway, in a suit for jao.000 against the City of As toria. The complaint recites that the plaintiff fell from an approach leading over the railroad tracks at Eleventh street to Flavel Wharf, September 2, 1907. She sustained injuries in the fall which laid her up In a hospital for three months and incapacitated her from pursuing her regular occupation. The complaint further recites that no railing or barrier was in position to warn passersby of danger and that being unfamiliar pith the roadway, the complainant, who was on her way to witness the naval parade, stepped off the apron and sustained the Injuries, which were a broken hip and other hurts, in cluding internal injuries. Rural Iettbrcarrier Indicted. George P. tee, a rural lettercarrier of Grant County, on information furnished the United States District Attorney by Postal Inspector Stockmyer, was indicted for abstracting letters from the mails in trusted to his care. Upon hearing of the action intended, I-.ee- came to Portland yesterday and called at the District At torney's office and explained that in sev eral instances he had placed letters in his pocket collected on his trips and had forgotten to mail them for some days and then feeling ashamed of himself had destroyed them. What action is to be taken in face of this confession has not been determined.

Quinn. of the detachment of Marine corps on the Charleston, ran amuck last night at the corner of Third and Yamhill streets. With three sheets in the wind he butted into one pugnacious son of Sunny Italy, named Joe Formoso. As Joe couldn't talk English plainly enough to" tell how it happened and as Private Quinn, of the marines, was too indis posed to articulate it probably never will be known. Suffice to"- say that a police man found Private Quinn and Joe in a very much tangled bunch on the side walk. In one hand Joe held a razor and in the other one a club and he was dls-J figuring Psjvate Quinn's countenance to the utmost of his ability. C. B. Kaser. of 172 East Fourteenth street, a passerby, essayed interference in behalf of the fallen marine and the vicious Italian slashed him across the arm, causing an. ugly wound five inches long. Mr. Kaser was attended by City Physician Zeigler and . sent home, Joe was locked up charged with assault with a dangerous weapon and Private Quinn was sent to the Charleston in charge of a guard from the ship. Brothehs Run AwAT.-Tle Boys' and Girls Aid Society has reported missing Ralph and Rufus Le Masters, brothers. 8 and 10 years old, inmates of that institu tion. Tl)e boys ran away on Monday on their way to school. The police have been asked to aid in locating them. Rufus, the older of the two boys, is a chronic runaway. On two previous occa sions he tried to escape from the society, but was retaken each time. When last seen Rufus was wearing dark gray knee pants and a dark cap. He has brown eyes and brown hair, which is is clipped short. Ralph wore corduroy knee pants, checked coat and a straw hat. He also has brown eyes and brown hair. Drunken Driver Arrested. Martin Brady, so Intoxicated as to be inarticu late was arrested last night by patrol man Ben Peterson at Twenty-first, and Powell streets for reckless driving. Brady, in a maudlin condition, had lashed his. poor horse into a mad gallop and whooping at the top of his voice; went careering down the street to the amazement and fright of the pedestrians. At "the police station he was too drunk to make his address intelligible, and was locked up. The abused animal and buggy were returned by the police to a livery stable on the East Side, from which the besotted driver had hired them. Missionary Societies Meet Today. The regular monthly meeting of the Mis sionary Societies of the Taylor-street Methodist Church will be held today at the residence of Mrs. F. W. Brooke, 1224 Kast Main street.

A pile of rubbish in the basement of the two-story dwelling at 4 East Twenty-eighth street caught fire in some unknown way last evening shortly before 6 o'clock. Smoke poured out of the basement windows, attracting the attention of passersby, who rang in a fire alarm. Engine 12 responded and put out the blaze. The damages were very slight.

DAMROSCH and Nordica, now that they have come and gone after bc ' ing Portland's honored ;ruests for two eventful day, "Walter Dam rosch and his men can rest assured that speaking in the strict musical sense the memories of the three or chestral concerts they gave, assisted by Madame Nordica and Madame Mary Hissem de Moss, soprano, will be cher ished as the most enduring musical treats we have ever had in this city. We have drunk true inspiration as from a fountainhead, and have remained willingly seated at the feet of a ntaster. Why is thi orchestra different from others? Mainly because it is led by the' greatest orchestral genius in this coun try, Walter Damrosch, who places new meaning into music with which we are well acquainted, and infuses a finish and brilliancy into every selection not thought of by the ordinary musician. He has eurrounded himself with a gal axy of enthusiastic players who have been drilled and drilled until they are well nigh perfection. Just as one star differs from another, Just as one fine oil painting costing many thousands of dollars costs more money than one seemingly just as good so does the New Tork Symphony, with ,Mr. Dftm rosch, differ from many other excellent similar musical organizations. The peo ple have been appealed to, end they have graciously voiced their approval. They are the court of last resort. The three immense audiences, which filled the Armory Wednesday night and yesterday afternoon and night evidently thought the same. Every selection ren dered won rounds of applause and could have been played again, except one the" great Tschalkowsky "Symphonic Pa thetique," which is one of the musical gems of the world, and must be heard several times and partly known by heart. In order to be appreciated by the mas:?es. Yesterday afternoon it was the "big" piece of the programme, but it took Just 45 minutes by the watch for rendition, and though the educated musicians thoroughly enjoyed it, the plain folks looked Just a little weary- To them the picture suggested too much sameness and I think now that Mr. Damrosch should not have yielded to the entreaties which made him pas? by such lovely numbers as the march from Meyerbeer's "Le Prophcte." Chlmlnade's "The Sedan Chair." David's "The Rain," Beethoven's "Larghetto" from symphony No. 2 and the great "Slav" march by Tschalkow sky. and substitute for this bunch of pearls the death song of Tschalkowsky! But. perhaps Mr. Damrosch thought of the Tschalkowsky "Symphonle Pathet Ique" as a missionary experiment. If so, the ""investment was a wise one. It has evoked great popular interest In the older music centers of Europe and this country, and the profane call it "The Undertakers' Delight," because its last notes shudderingly picture the last mo ments oE the dying. Its moods are many. As interpreted by Mr. Damrosch, the first two movements are melodious and suggest ethereal happiness. The third movement, written in march time, is a battle hymn, and you hear the boom! boom! of the Cannon, the volleys of L musketry, the desperate charge on the foe, the frenzied battle cries, as an army of avengers storms the enemy's ramparts, with victory written on their blood-stained flags. The "adagio la mentoso" closing movement breaks Into jews Observe "Feast o! Weeks" Portland Hebrew Congregation Commemorate the Thanks art Vina; for the Harvest THE Feast of Weeks, known in He brew as Shovuoth, which commem orates the thanksgiving for the harvest, a. celebrated last night in the Port land synagogues. This holiday occurs on the 50th day, or seven weeks after the second day of the Passover. Scriptural authority is found for it in Deuteronomy xvl:9-10. "Seven weeks Shalt thou number unto thee: begin to nujnber the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. "And thou shfllt keep the , Feast of Weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand which thou shalt give to the Lord thy God. according as the Lord thy God hath blessed thee." .- In later times Jewish tradition has it that this holiday commemorates the day on which the Decalogue was given to the Jews on Mount Sinaii, and that It was the revelation of God to the Jewish people. It is therefore also called in the later) Jewish literature Zman Mathan Faro theinu or the Season of the Giving of our Lord." This feast is one of the three festivals mentioned in the Book of Deuteronomy on which all the male Jews appear be fore Lord in the place of his choice, thai Is, in the tabernacle, and afterward in the temple. At the present time the orthodox Jews keep this feast for two days; the reformed Jews only one day. The synagogue is decorated with flowers in commemoration of the green on Mount Sinaii. This holiday is selected by the reformed, as well as t!b conservative Jews as the day of confirmation of the young. The services in connection with the holii'iay began In the various synagogues at 7 o'clock last night, and will continue at 9 o'clock this morning and at 7 o'clock tonight. At Ahavai Sholom Congregation Dr. N. Moseseohn conducted the services last night. speaKing on "A Lesson to All Na tions." At the service tonight he will speak on the book of Ruth. WHEREJTO DINE.

The "king of terrors" seems to stand over the orchestra, waving a grisly ba ton. The vloiins sob. the trombones sound a walling requiem. Fainter and fainter grows the music. A shudder. A breath. And everlasting silence. In much lighter mood came the de lightful "Mignon" crVerture and Liszt's sympbonetic poem, "Les Preludes," two admirable orchestral selections, very well played. Rut after all the people were really waiting to hear their own Nordica, the great American dramatic soprano who drew her first breath In tha- woods o' Maine, and who is never happier than When she is inspiring us with new Ideals in all .that is best in American music. When she first stepped on the platform it was Mr. Damrosch himself who took her by the right hand and presented her to the applauding crowd. She wore a pretty afternoon gown, with coat a la Japanese, and black picture hat slanted at a picturesque angle. She sang, with her whole soul, "Klsa"s Dream" from Wagner's "Lohengrin," assuming a part she must have appeared in hundreds of times. Of course she made a big success, accentuated by the hint of acting she gave with her flexible left hand, flash ing eyes, play of her expressive counte nance, and toss of her head. A tumul tuous encore came, and she gave a "Sere nade" by Strauss. In the second part Nordica made her biggest hit when she sang the group of four songs, especially making good in the Schumann "Waldcsgespraech." Her use of the German language helped the artistic picture, and she colored Mrs. Beach's "The Years at the Spring" with necessary optimism. She rarely allowed her voice full 'play, and probably didn't go above A sharp, making her best effects in expression and delicacy of finish. Her last encore was Rogers' "The sweetest flower that blows." Mr. Damrosch was her piano accompanist, and again he was the artist. The other soloist at the atternoon con 1 AlA-anrifi flrtl HVSh V.

Mr. SaslavSky playedl with rare delicacy of tone, and made, a fine appearance. He also plays modestly and without fuss or feathers. He was roundly applauded, and for his encore chose a "Humoresque," by Dvorak, a pretty, melodious bit of fancy, with a tune in it. Mr. Saslavsky is a na tive of South Russia and has played for Mr. Damrosch for 14 years. A good re cord. Between the afternoon and the evening concerts, I found lots of peoplo talking about the great success achieved with the Beethoven symphony No. a, in C minor, which, received a most satisfactory Inter pretation Wednesday evening, and it struck me that several little incidents showing what sort of a man Beethoven was, might be interesting to you. Beethoven has often been called the Shakespeare of instrumental music, the father ef the German composers, whose sadness is the reverberation of human suffering. He was born at Bonn, on the banks of the Rhine, about the year 1770, but the exact day of his birth is uncertain. His mother was the daughter of a cook ann his father a tenor singer in the chapel of the elector. It has been substantiated that the father was a man of violent temper, fond of li.quor and that he cuffed little Ludwig's ears so soundly. to make him practice music at unseason able hours, that the deafness ensued that v; " If- - & i?i r k " i " y? nicect i LOST BUT SELF-POSSESSED Wee Miss Asks Policeman to Take Her to Station I ntil Parents Call. Margaret Lough, a little 7-year-old girl who resides on Mount Tabor, accompanied- her parents, to witness the fes tivities on the East Side last night. In the multitude of people the little one and her pafents became separated. At the corner of Grand avenue and Kast Burn side Patrolman Ogg was stationed. Arouftd him a swirl of humanity surged. Something grabbed Ogg by the leg and held on to, it. Pushing aside those near est him to discover the cause, he found the little girl holding on as if for dear life. When she saw that she was no ticed, she looked up and with the ut most composure said: "Officer, I have lost my parents. I know that they will be worried about me. Take me to the police station and I know they'll call up afterward embittered the great musician's life. Surely if ever the god of love took de light in teasing mortal, Beethoven was selected as a special victim for sacri fice. He was as sentimental as a shy, delicate maiden. He never ceased to be in love with some fair lady, generally of higher social rank than his own. Of Madame Milder, for whom he wrote the part of "Fldelo," he said" he wished to "kies the hem of her garment." In July, 1S06, he wrote to his Julia: My angel, my all, my other self! la not our love a truly heavenly structure, but firm as the vault of heaven? . . . till I can fly Into thine arms,, call myself quite at home with thee, and send my soul wrapped up In thee, into the realm of spirits! Beethoven also cherished a tender re gard for the Countess Marie Brdody, whom he called his "Immortal Beloved," and it .is suspected that much of the passion which surges through his C Minor symphony was inspired by this scornful fair one. Beethoven lived In numerous lodging houses, due to his erratic mode of riving and his love of change. Several times he changed his rooms because the land lord could not guarantee that the sun shine would not remain in the apart ments as long as his irate guest desired. When the fit of musical composition seized him. Beethoven invariably emptied the contents of Jugs of water over his hands again and again until his clothes became saturated and the water dripped through floor and celling into the room below. He had no idea of the value of money or the niceties of life, and gener ally he was brusque to the point of ab ruptness, almost rudeness. Once he be gan to extemporize on a piano in a pri vate house and a young man began to talk, very softly, to a young woman. Beethoven, in a rage, stopped playing and exclaimed; "I do not play ' for such swine." Beethoven liked to cook his own breakfast, and It is recorded that he in variably placed 60 coffee beans for each cup of coffee. He was once generous enough to say:' "Handel is . the greatest composer that ever lived. Rossini? A good scene I painter." Beethoven's life continued to be a stormy one until the end. and in the midst of a terrible thunderstorm he died March 27, 1827. Last night's closing concert whs at tended by the largest and most brilliant audience ever in the Armory, and again musical enthusiasm was rampant. There' were three watchwords Wag ner, Damrosch and Nordica. It was an evening devoted exclusively to . Wagner, the excerpts being taken from these of his operas: "Lohengrin," "Tannhauser." "Die Meistersinger," 'Die Walkure," "Siegfried" and "Tristan and Isolde." Orchestra and Damrosch. with Nordica as-the soloist,, repeated triumphs they have won again and again, and as the stories and music of these operas are well known, even to the plain citizen, I shall not attempt now to particularize. For Is not Wagner a household word by' means of the parlor piano, the piano with what-do-you-call-it , attachment, and brass bands in the parks? Certainly. Nordica was in her best: "opera" voice, and won her hearers not only In Wag ner, but In the outside group of three songs she sang. She wore a crown of Oregon roses, and her greatest moment was in the grand finale, with orchestra. In "Tristan and Isolde." Her two en cores were:. "Ich Liebe Dich" (Griegg) and a repetition of "The Years at the Spring." Mr. Damrosch. as piano accom panist to Nordica, shared her triumph. Masses Steers and Coman, well done!
