10 TIIE MORNING OREGOyiAX, TnURSDAT, FEBRUARY 4, 1S03. PUPILS COMPLETE M Six Hundred Finish Course and 75 Per Cent Will Enter High Schools. NAMES OF THE GRADUATES Itooms Arc Srt Aidc In Hawthorne and ShaTcr Buildings to Accom modate tlie Children Promot- ed 1'ntll Knd of Tear. "r.l you pats?" and "Are you going to High School?" were questions asked many thousands of times yesterday by punlls In the grammar (Trades of the Portland public schools. The Fall term having closed and examinations being completed and passed upon, each pupil was anxious to know the fate of the others In his or her room. In the morn ing the children went for their exam ination papers, and those who were suc cessful waited only long enough to re ceive the congratulations of their com panions, and then hurried home to tell the glad tidings. The grammar grades finished the term with 600 graduates, and as a re sult the Board of Education is obliged to provide room for 75 per cent of the number. This has been done by fitting up four rooms at the Hawthorne School and Ave at the Shaver School. This furnishes enough accommodation for all who will enter High School. I-ast year there were only 380 graduates from the grades. An order from the Directors forbade the holding of any exercises in connection with the graduations, which caused considerable heartache among those affected. Following is a list of the grammar school graduates so far as reported to Superintendent Rigler last night: 4rtet School. AMen Waltz Andrews, John Campbell. Hy George (Mark. Moma Vera Crutchrteld.

Thieves and prowlers were abroad in Portland last night and several rob beries were attempted. One hold-up was frustrated by the timely arrival of a streetcar crowded with passengers which stopped at the corner where the victim had been held up at the point of a revolver. A burglar was scared out of a house by the return of the family and two suspicious characters when discov ered prowling about residences, used in solent language to the householders and went calmly on their way apparently fearless of arrest. Shortly before midnight the showcase outside of Mueller's furnishing store, First and Yamhill streets, was broken Into by thieves and a quantity of under wear abstracted. The noise of breaking glass attracted the attention of passersby and the thief made his escape Just aa Patrolman Ruppert ran to the scene. No trace of the fugitive was found. . A. Jones, who lives ot the home of C. H. Gilbert. 302 Vista avenue, was held up by two thugs armed with revolvers at the north end of the Ford street bridge. They were unmasked and were evidently beginners at the business. While Mr. Jones was standing with his hands In the air. a streetcar stopped nearby. The two robbers ran without having rifled the pockets of their victim. C. H. Still of 651 East Madison street returned home late last night to find that burglars had broken into his house and ransacked it from top to bottom. The return of Mr. Still and his family must have disturbed the burglar at his work as sounds were heard on their entrance. The thief must have made his escape one way while tne family came In through another. Nothing was missing. Rev. Benjamin Young. 221 Eleventh street, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, found a suspicious character prowling outside his house after 11 o'clock and when he asked the man what was wanted was told in trite terms It was none of his business. The in truder walked coolly away. Mr. Smith, of 109 East Sixth street, met with a sim ilar experience. The man In his case said he was looking for a runaway dog. but his manner to the inquiring house owner was threatening. "The Home of a Thoiuand Candlee." The popular attraction this week, am! one every one wants to see evidently. Is the Baker Stock Company's production of the startling play, "The House ot a Thousand Candles," at the Buncalow. It Is the dramatization of the widely-read novel, and so mysterious and thrilling in the general tone of it that It supplies a long-felt want. Teddy Webb and Other Favorites.

THIRTY-THREE BID SCHOOL GODD-BY Members of February Class of West Side High Receive Diplomas. f DR. YOUNG MAKES ADDRESS Counsels (Jraduates on Importance of Self-Mastcry Chairman Wit tenberg, of the Board of Education, Also Speaks The class of February, IPO!), (graduated in assembly hall of the West Side High School last nigM. The members of the class number 33. of whom 11 are honorary. Promptly at S o'clock a march was struck up on the piano, and the graduates filed In. each young woman dressed in white and bearing a bouquet. The Girls' Glee Club of 25 did Itself proud in rendering "Nocturne" and the "Wanderer's Song," but when the Boys Glee Club gave as a closing number, "Starlight," and aa an encore sang an original parody on the "Tinker's Song" the audience lost Itself in applause. ' The violin selection from "II Trova tore," rendered by Miss Velross Sharp, was well received, and a large bunch of lilies awaited her as she left the plat form, only to be compelled to return with another solo. Herman Wittenberg, chairman of the Board of Kducation. before presenting the diplomas, apologized for the small class this year by saying that a portion of the studenta have been taken by the Kast Side High School, and that all the courses now cover four years. A practi cal address to the class on the value of a purpose In life, of the cultivation of the imagination, "of courage, and of self-control, was delivered by Dr. Benjamin Joung, of the Taylor-Street Methodist Church. Mr. Wittenberg referred to it, however, as theoretical, remarking that lie had always had to do with the prac tical side of life. Mr. Wittenberg said self-control is good, but that patience is also good, and that as the students have spent ten years in reaching the goal at the graduation exercises, they are only at the commence ment of life, and must not expect to find highly remunerative positions at once. "Work hard," he said, "give everybody a square deal, take it for yourself, insirt on it, if you please, even if you have to fight for It. and you will find much in life for which to be thankful." Dr. Young Talks to Graduates. Speaking of self-control, and of the cultivation of the will, Dr. Young said: Pink literature standards will forever mar the beauty of the soul. The human soul is the scene of the greatest struggle. The commotion of battle-swept heights is noth ing to the tumults of battle-swept hearts. About personality the fiercest conflicts rage, Carlyle says there is a madman In every one of us. At times, if we may be lieve his biographers, there were several In the author of the French Revolution. There Is more philosophy In "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" than In hundreds of volumes. Do not thwart the great intention of life. Take advantage of the forces working for it upbuilding and perfecting. We are glad you have done so well, and that you stand hfre tonight. Do not stop with your work here. Recognizing the necessity of culture, and the possibilities within you. the state has made further provision for your devel opment and Institutions within the state, recognizing' no less this important thing, have made provision similar. Your in structors bid you Godspeed In your plans for larger things. Your loved ones off.r Incense more fragrant than that which rises in the sacred temples to your hopis and ideals, and cherish the hope that your lives will spell out only such things as shall articulate themselves In manly and womanly character, and thus shed a quiet light far out to those who else would grope in darkness. Parody on Tinkers' Chorus. The original parody, sung by the Boys' Glee Club, follows: 'Tls merry, merry, merry, merry gentlemen we are. All of the West Side High, sirs. We tramp, tramp, tramp to school without a care. Whether weather's wet or dry, sirs. We have our lessons all down p'at. We make most brilliant answers. There's ne'er a time when we flunk flat. We're always cramming, cramming our brain-pan, sirs. So we cram, cram, cram, and we ram, ram, ram. From three till twelve at night, sirs. Each is teacher's pet, and there's not a lesson yet That we can't get just right, sirs. CHORUS. Cram, cram, cram, cram. cram, cram-er, cram, cram. How we crammers cram. The best of Joys that comes to us boys Is cramming as hard as we can. NOVEL PROGRAMME GIVEN Iiullabied of AH Nations at Y". W. C. A. at Home. Under the auspices of the Y. W. C.

"The Doctor, and I also, writes an Ills, woman, "consider that we owe the life of my llttlo four-year-old niece to Grape-Nuts food. "From tho time of her birth her stomach was so weak that she could not digest milk or any food we could think of, although we tried about all the Infant Foods known. The doctor gave me no hope called the trouble Intestinal consumption. "At 18 months the child could barely sit alone, her body was so weak, and her brain did not seem to be properly developed. "One day, having some trouble with my stomach. I brought home a package of Grape-Nuts and started to use It. The thought camo to me that a very little of the food made soft in some cream might be good for the little one. "I gave her some Grape-Nuts thus prepared and she soon became so fond of it that she would reach out her little thin hands and cry at the sight of a saucer with a spoon in it. "She ate Grape-Nuts not only in the morning, but at night also and since the first has never missed a day. She Is now. at four years, a strong, healthy child, with a good straight back, fine bones, and firm muscles. Her mind Is bright also.

The affair, which was a most successful one, was for the benefit of furnishing the state office In the new building. A thoroughly cos mopolitan audience witnessed the unique bazar, which was preceded by an excep tionally good programme. Three Scotch lassies, in picturesque kilts, executed a skillful hornpipe, with bagpipe accompaniment. Chinese. Japa nese, colored and Armenian lullabies were In turn given by a member of each coun try designated. The Turkish national hymn was sung by Mr. Kartozian, and followed by an Armenian lullaby prettily rendered by Baidzar Kartozian Harum, who sang to her twin babies, aged 6 months. Another tiny infant was conspicuous on the programme, the daughter of Eugene Penney, the pastor of the African Metho dist Church. Her mother sang a lunany. with a violin accompaniment by Mr. Pennev. Miss Delta Watson sang In duet with Mrs. Byron B. Miller. Little Marv Olerln sang prettily a lullaby to her doll, and followed this selection with "Smartv." Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway appeared on the programme in an entirely new role, that of a concert singer. Mrs. Duniway related a story of a visit to an Indian camp over a half century ago, and gave a faithful impersonation oi an inuiaii lullaby heard at that time. WHIT GOVERNOH TO ACT CITIZEN'S ASK THAT FEBRUARY lt2 BE HOLIDAY. Armory Is Engaged for Big Mass Meeting and Prominent Speak ers 'tfill Take Part. Governor Chamberlain will be urgently requested by the Citizens' Committee to proclaim February 12 a legal holiday. In case it is not so ordered by President Roosevelt, as It is desired to hold a great popular demonstration at that date in the Armory, In honor of the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. At a meeting held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon. Secretary Lockwood was in structed to write the Governor to that effect, and also to invite him to deliver an address and to preside at the meet ing. It is understood that he Trill consent to act. Portland school children are to be spe cially urged to attend the mass meeting, which will occur at 2 o'clock in the aft ernoon of February 12, and which will be in every sense popular, and to which the whole public is invited' without regard to party, color or creed. It is to be an occasion when Lincoln will be honored in speech, song and story, and when all citizens may participate. It is feared that the Armory will not hold the crowds that will throng the building on this oc casion, but it is the largest place avail able and to assist the committee in the plan. Colonel Charles E. McDonell ap peared at he meeting yesterday after noon and offered the building at one-half the regular rate. His proposition was accepted at once. The committee has a tentative pro gramme outlined, but has not as yet completed It. Other speakers besides the Governor, who wiir"preside, are MijVor Iane. Wallace icCamant and Judge George H. Williams. It is planned to make the speeches rather brief, so that. with music and all, about two hours will be consumed by the meeting. The committee yesterday elected Ralph W. Hoyt as its treasurer, and a commit tee of two was named to solicit funds to defray the expense of the celebration. Brown's band has beeij engaged to play National airs, and It is expected that Mrs. Rose Bioch Bauer will sing "The Star Spangled Banner." Councilman Cottel, chairman of the committee, declared at the close of the session yesterday afternoon that, in his opinion, the success of the popular mass meeting is already assured and that the Armory will be packed on the afternoon of the celebration. Following is the pro gramme, but is subject to change: During assembly Patriotic airs by the band. Overture By the band.

ROSE CITY PARK PLANS Improvement Club Reports Progress and Projects for Future. An enthusiastic meeting of the Rose City Park Improvement League was held last evening at the brick etor.e. Several committees made reports, among them being the committee appointed to devise ways and means of procuring the laying of gas mains to that district. It was shown that two months ago 146 homes were already built in the district and that since that time the number constructed, in course of construction and contracted for, had nearly doubled. It was proposed by the league to pro cure street lights, and these will be paid for by the residents of the district if they cannot be procured! In any other way. A substantial church building and a Lawn Tennis Club and grounds are among the things assured to this district In the near future. Upwards of 50 residences are being planned for erection this Spring, and sev eral builders were present who contem plate operating In the Rose City Park district. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Frank Schle gel; vice-president, U. S. Ackles; secre tary, O. F. Cady; treasurer, L. W. Hill. The enthusiasm of the people of this community was shown by filling the meet ing place to overflowing. RYNERSON CANNOT SERVE Secretary of Employment Bureau Comes Under Civil Service. The Civil Service Commission held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which It was decided that the secretary of the free employment bureau must be named from the classified lists of the Commis sion, and. therefore, C. M. Rynerson, ap pointed by Mayor Lane three days ago, will have to take chances with others in an examination, the date of which has not yet been set. The position will b classified and applicants for the place must undergo an examination, the scope of which is to be arranged in the near future. The employment office Is to be opened at once on the ground floor of the City Hall, In a room near the Fifth-street en trance, and Secretary Rynerson is . ar ranging for this now. He will be paid for his services while doing the work of the office, as at the time of his appoint ment there was no civil service list of eliglbles for the position.

S5000 Jury Decides Sollers, Though by No Means Apollo, Was Heartbreaker; ASSERTS HE WILL APPEAL Although Still Maintaining Inno cence, Defendant Is Jfot Alto gether Displeased With His Hole of Gay Xothario. Despite his shining bald head, his huge, bristling, gray mustache, his florid complexion, heavy Jowls and bashful addresses, George Sollers was set down as a heartbreaker, a purloiner of affections, a Lothario of ability and the wrecker of a happy home, in the state Circuit Court, yesterday afternoon. A jury decided that he must pay $5000 to A. J. Noyes for taking, stealing and carrying away the affections of Noyes wife. . It was a shocking surprise to Sollers, Of course it did become more or less clear during the course of the trial that Sirs. Noyes had learned to care more for her affinity than for her husband But it was made clear, too, that only by being thrown constantly together did. their fondness for each other grow. This fact didn't seem to impress the Jury, however, which summed the case up thus: Noyes had a wife, seven chil dren and a boarder. He went out of town for a few months on business. When he got back the boarder had a corner on the affections of the family. These affections were easily wprth $5000. Declares He Will Not Pay. Collers says hfe will not pay the f 5000. . He says he never got away "ith any one's affections. He takes pride in the fact that he 13 the ugliest man in Multnomah County, or one of the ugliest. The reason he's a bachelor is that he's never been able to get any woman to have him. he says. And then to think of being accused In his old age of being a heartsmasher and home breaker. Nevertheless, it can't be denied that Sollers is pleased somewhat at the charges. He doesn't say so, but it isn't hard to detect symptoms of satisfac tion in his manner when he is pointed out by curious persons at the Court house. It ifen't hard to believe that this is the first time he has been ac cused of stealing any one's wife. Immediately after the verdict had been brought in. Sollers' attorney, John C. ' Shillock, gave notice that the case will be appealed. He said that new evidence ha3 been uncovered. For in stance, the woman's 15-year-old son, who told of having seen her and Sollers osculating is now on the point of changing his mind. The? child was quoted as saying he only thought they were kissing, but really wasn't sure about it. Gossiping Neighbors Grilled. Curious and prattling neighbors came in for a severe grilling during tlie argument of the case by Mr. Shillock during the forenoon. He said that pry ing neighbors caused the whole trouble and that If the neighbors had kept their mouths shut no estrangement would have resulted between Noyes and his wife. Attorney Westbrook, on behalf of Noyes, replied that neighbors who "put the husband of such a woman wise are really to be commended. He said that married women carry on these desperate flirtations with deceiving "friends otVthe family and that, as a rule, everyone in town is "on" except the poor, nerveless, unsophisticated, harmless. Inoffensive husband, who re mains the laughing stock of the whole community until someone does him the "most commendable" service of "put ting him wise." Concert at Third Presbyterian. The Misses Evelyn and Erma Ewart entertained on Tuesday evening last a number of friends and admirers at the A CLOSE SHAVE Many of Them Happening Every Day but Soon Forgotten. Close shaves would be of more fre quent occurrence but for ,the tender faces of many men, which will not permit of .having often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam, a new skin discovery, in connection with Its use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been con fined almost exclusively to its remark able properties as an eczema cure; it stops the Itching at once and cures the worst cases In a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving is one of its minor uses, such as for pim ples, the complexion, etc., shavers will find' it a revelation, as It does for abrasions, roughness, and severe scrap ings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties heals and cures in a few hours. It Is the only article pos sessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been exploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do.

Bold Claims Sometimes Appear Different When Con fronted With Fact. "We have no reason for offering a $400 piano for $200." says a yesterday's piano advertisement. "Our $400 pianos are worth $400!!!" etc., etc. It is a significant fact, and has for. many years been a matter of much comment that whenever one firm or another has found itself utterly unable openly and fairly to compete with Eilers Piano House and Its money-saving methods and high-class instruments, that fran tic endeavor is made to take refuge in Innuendo and aouse. IXSI'KXDO AUD ABUSE HAVE , t: KIt YET SOLD A PI ANO. "If a dealer or salesman runs down a competitor, distrust him," says John C Freund. in the Piano and Organ Pur chasers' Guide. "The man," he con tinues, "who cannot make sales by commending his own wares, is un worthy of confidence." 41 ST A SUGGESTION. ' If the same makes of pianos were sold by'all firms, and. for example, one firm charged $500 for a new style Co lonial Kimball Piano for which an other firm charged only $4o0. and Kilers Piano House charged only fiii for the same piano, then no purchaser would waste time in deciding where to trade. There could be no doubt about it Eilers Piano House would surely sell the piano. But, unfortunately, each house car ries a different make, and for oacn make the broadest clahns are made. Hence the difficulty in proving off hand, the claim of Eilers Piano H.uel; BETTER PIANOS FOR LESS MONEY THAN ELSEWHERE: INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY.

Some of the Most Serious Dis eases' Have Their Origiji in a Common Cold. Children are particularly susceptible to eoliH and often serious diseases of after life have their foundation in early colds. A child catches cold but unless it is very severe no attention is given the matter. It has had colds before and always recovered and it is not until the little one alarms the household in the dead of night and scares its mother into hysterica by having croup, that serious consequences are feared. Another child catches cold and before it fully recovers takes another cold and per haps before that is over contracts a fresh one. This succession of colds or even the neglect of the first attack causes inflammation of the mucous membrane, which was at 6rt acute, to become chronic and the doctor will tell you that the child has chronic catarrh from which he will never fully recover. Another child catches cold, which could easily have been cured by proper treatment, but being neglected develops the most fatal malady of childhood, pneumonia. The doc tor is called and pronounces it lung fever, and if the child is lucky enough to live it hat developed weak lungs, making it susceptible to all lung diseases. Still another child catches cold, a stubborn cough is developed which lasts all winter, sapping the vitality and weakening the sys tem, thereby paving the way for the germs cf other diseases. Diphtheria, whooping cough, scarlet fever and similar diseases could often be avoided if each cold received proper attention. ' Every one of these children could have been cured by the prompt use of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. A few doses and the child's cold is gone. It is a certain cure for croup and has never been known to fail. When given as soon as the crotipy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It also counteracts any tendency of a cold to result Jo pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear ol that dangerous disease. Don't wait nntil the child is sick and then end to the drug store for this remedy but keep it on hand ready for instant use when needed. It is perfectly harmless and should be kept in every home where there are young children. HARTMAN & THOMPSON BANKERS CHAMBER OP COMMERCE issue travellers1 checks, payable everywhere.
