The exact date of his arrival and of the conference cannot be announced at - pres ent, hut Bishop Spring, who has been traveling and Inspecting the mission sta tion, of the Evangelical Association in Japan and China, will arrive and con duct the California conference in the early party of May. and may come to Portland before May 27. The relocation of the Memorial Church, - which now stands at East Eighteenth and Tibbetts streets, and the erection of a modern edifice to take the place of the First English Evangelical Church on East Sixth and East Market streets, are among the local questions coming before the confer ence. The proposition is to sell the "Mem orial Church property and rebuild on a site further eastward, and outside the "nest of churches in Stephens Addition. It is also felt in the conference that the Evengellcal Association should have a representative modern English Church In Portland to replace the present building on East Market and Bast Sixth streets, either on this site, or on another that might be considered better. Arrangements also will be made at the conference for the annual conventions to be held on the Jennings Lodge campground, in connec tion with the campmeetlng of United Evangelical churches of the state. Residence vPropertt Sols. W. L. Fliedner. of Blumauer-Frank Drug Com pany has just purchased the west 63 1-3 feet of lots 19 and 20. in block 63, in Irvington Addition, for $9600. The prop erty was owned by M. Delahunt and in cludes one of the handsomest residences erected ln Irvington. The residence con tains nine rooms and is three stories with full cement basement. Mr. Fliedner pur chased the property for a home. W. L. Morgan purchased part of lots 19 and 20, and all of lots 1 and 2 of the same block for J7500. and he will erect a residence. J. L. Bowman, of the Oregon City Woolen Mills purchased lots 8. 9, 10. 11, 12 and 13. in block 46, in Irvington, and announces that he will put a residence on the prop erty this Summer costing $25,000. Several oilier recent purchasers are having plans for homes prepared in this addition. Lat Pipes Before Paving. Belmont street is to be paved with bard-surface improvement between East Tenth and East Ninteenth streets, and Grand ave nue will have a similar improvement be tween Belmont and East Clay streets. Thomas Hislop, who owns property on both streets, said yesterday that all sewers, water pipes and wires of every sort should , be laid on both streets at once. The large water main was laid on Grand avenue two years ago, but many of the lots are probably without service connections or sewers, which will have to be laid after the pavement is down, if not now. On Belmont the gas mains have been laid, and it is desired that all pipes and wires should be put down at once. The contractors have the rotten plank removed preparatory to grading. Proposed Postal Station Sold. Nego tiations undertaken by ex-Postmaster Minto some time ago for the building at Fifth and Irving streets, to be used as a segregating station have ben termi nated by reason of the sale of the prop erty -to the Harriman interests. It was the Intention to lease the building in ques tion from the owner, F. E. Dooley. and have all incoming malls segregated for distribution among the various substa tions, thus relieving the present congested condition of the main Postoffice. Post master Young is now considering other properties in the North End district for the proposed station, though no decision ln the matter is expected for some time. Stone-Latino Postponed. Owing to the fact that the stonecutter has been unable to finish the facing on the corner stone for the Jefferson High School, the exercises that were to have been held at 3 o'clock this afternoon have again been- postponed. It will probably be two weeks before the cornerstone is formally laid. Are you acquainted with Spokesman? Delmonico. 149 7th, French dinner, 60c. A Spokesman is required. PERSONALMENTION. Hon.

OREEXE. OR a number of years Portland has been particularly partial to James Neill and his wife. Edythe Chapman.. In the days when the Neill Stock Company was the standard theatrical attraction of the Coast, these distinguished players were always certain of a right royal wel come whenever they came here. " It has been a considerable while since we have seen either of them, olthough the town has kept a warm spot in its heart for them. Consequently it is with much satis faction that the local public welcomes their return after wanderings oft. "The Lady Across the Hall," which they call their attractive little sentimental comedy sketch, properly commands chief atten tion at the Orpheum this week. The plot concerns the efforts of an eligible bach elor who lives in a fashionable apartment house, to become acquainted with the fascinating young woman who occupies the adjoining apartment. The unconven tional manner in which this meeting comes about and the higrilv satisfactory denouement affords Mr. Neill and Miss Chapman first-rate opportunities to dis play their unquestionable acting ability. A . genuinely talented young woman who piques our curiosity by calling herself "Arcadia." sings a number of well-selected songs in fine voice, and plays the violin creditably. She gives a certain tone to her act which lifts it far above the mediocrity of the majority of vocal vaudeville stunts. Paul Sandor's unique dog circus proves to be refreshingly original and fairly de lighted yesterday' audience. A dozen magnificent ( lv-rn t T , . , . - """o uuga, aisguisea r as circus horses, go through the char- ,aiiCU,era OI snow equlnes and demonstrate remarkable training. The Imperial Male Quartet gives a num ber of good songs, their voices blending admirably, but they woudl confer a favor by omitting a song about pickled peppers which Is still a bio- bit .i . , . uwuwdier col lege glee club entertainments, but Is de- v..uCuly languing to experienced show goers. These are the features which the Or pheum chiefly relies upon to present an interestmg entertainment this week Ames and Corbett, stereotyped buck and wing .dancers, open the show. Ray's Players have a sketch called "The Noblest Roman of Them All." which should be w f.lV Frank Fogarty, who styles him self "The Dublin Minstrel." starts well, but goes lame at the first quarter; and the pictures at the conclusion of the bill are average. Grand. s the toP line feature for the new "A bill at the Grand Is the Carlyle Pan tomime Company, in which Dan, a pony of the old-style, almost-talking sort, is the piece de resistance." Several well act' deS add l tne'lnterest of the Manuel Romaine and company present Down Music Row," a melange of good singing and dancing, with a rather noisy fnVn,ional back:ground. In tills act the Foley brothers are dancers of partic u ar merit, and Miss Palmer, who has an almost roof-garden shriek, does such clever and effective dancing and pre sents her songs so charmingly that one forgives her voice. Tom Dugan is a faithful copy of the average messenger boy, and his comedy monologue is full of fresh lines and' really ew, laughable stories and songs. Glenroy and Russell are singers and comedians who fill a large and interest ing section of the programme. The feminine part of the team does some nifty steps, introducing a series of nine character dances. Delmore and Oneida are acrobats and pole balancers who do some very daring ,le.aasi"s stunts. the man balancing the loidy on a pole, while she poses and performs difficult feats during her suspension in mid-air on this unstable support. Harry McDuffee is in particularly good voice in his offering this week, "Believe Me if All These Endearing Young Charms, one of those old, sweet, tuneful melodies of which we have aa too little nowadays. Pantages. THIS is a banner week at Pantages. there being at least three big acts. Decidedly the most remarkable ' and mystifying stunt is that of Se-Hara who gives an exhibition of thought transference that would make Anna Eva Fay sit up and take notice. This woman with the geographical name is past the half -century mark. Inclined to embonpoint, has a wealth of snow white hair and a voice that sounds like an alarm clock. Her demonstration of mental telepathy is nothing short nf i marvelous. Blindfolded, she adds great ouiua up ana aown, inside and out, never once making a miscue. Her as sistant goes through the audience pick ing out numerous subjects, who in turn are told the news conveyed ln letters, their watch numbers, ages, what they are thinking in tact, she has her lis teners both fascinated and buffaloed. Wentworth and Vesta, comedy acro bats, have an act that Koes at a furi ous pace. They have a number of new features to offer, and are ably assisted by a bright little "yaller" dog. Hearn and Rutter, eccentric soft-shoe dancers, do splendid team work. West and Mack, recently of Hi Henry's minstrels, have some brand-new jokes and a few old stunts, which, however, make one laugh in spite of himself. The funny coon of the duo gives an exhibition of loose-jointed dancing that compares most favorably with the famous Otero. Perhaps the most pretentious offer ing is given by the Arminas, a quintet of Italians, who present a song scene, "A Night in Naples." The scenic ef fects are elaborate, and the quintet sing and play on stringed Instruments. Their latter accomplishment is superior, no selections being difficult. There are three good male voices, while the women are long on looks, but a trifle shy on voice. All told, this act Is thor oughly artistic. WHERETO DINE.
