Pandered away from her home at 25 Eaet Twelfth street, shortly after noon ylerday. not putting in an appearance again until 10 o'clock last night. The entire police and detective force of the city was searching for the girl during the .afternoon and until she returned home. In company with Francis Burgard. an S-year-old boy. who is a neighbor of the little girl. Marjorie wandered down town to see the "big city." On the west end of the Burnside bridge the youthful duo were met by a strange man. who, after making friends with the children, took them to a moving picture show at 43 Third street. Boy Tells Story. When they had watched the moving films a few minutes, the stranger -took the little girl outside, telling the boy to wait -for them, as they would return shortly. The lad waited half an hour, then became frightened and ran home, where he told the story of the disap pearance of his playmate. The frantic mother immediately notified the police department, which began a search of the town for the missing child. J. R. Hamilton, father of the girl, se cured a rowboat and looked along the waterfront. Child Returns Alone.

MOTHERS' JJAY HONORED Thousands Wear White Carnations, nation, Emblem of Esteem. Mothers day was appropriately ob served in Portland yesterday as else where. No less than 6000 persons ap peared on the streets and at the various churches wearing white carnations in honor of their mothers. The significance of the day was referred to in every pul pit of the city. In some, more extended allusions were made, the theme of at least one discourse of the day being founded on the subject. White carnations, emblematical of the purity and sweetness of a mother's life in her relation to her progeny, were sold by the Mothers' Congress in several places Saturday. Accurate figures have not been compiled on the numbers sold. I but it probably reached 6000. iorists I yesterday did a much larger business. "Wear a white nower tor jour mother.'" was the appeal sent out all over the country by the American Mothers' Congress. That was five years ago and since that time it has been observed annually In every state in the Union. In Oregon the white carnation was se lected and that it was very generally ob served is indicated by the estimated num ber sold. The flowers were sold by- the Mothers' Congress only as a means of arousing interest in- the day. Booths were located in downtown stores. Rev. W. B. Hinson. the new pastor of the White Temple, preached upon Mothers' day last night, while Rev. W. F. Reagor, of the First Christian Church, took it for his topic yesterday morning. Rev. Mr. Hinson told the members of his congregation their mothers were the best friends they will ever have other than God. He ilkened her memory to a cloudy pillar of guidance. Mr. Reagor said in port: "The idea of having a day. set apart each year, in which we try to brighten the lives of our mothers, and make them more honored and loved and protected by their children, is a most beautiful one. It is a happy thing to remind sons and daughters of their mothers' unselfish de votion, and their own possible neglect, something that will make mothers feel on this beautiful May day that she is Indeed In her chlldrens' hearts the Queen of the May.' There is a quaint saving among the Hebrews that 'God could not be everywhere, so he made mothers."

NO VIEW POSSIBLE MAY 18 Professor Daniels Declares Tail of Aerial Traveler Will Touch Earth A bo tit Sunset Xo Meteoric Showers Are Expected. HAIJ.KY'8 COSEET RISES AT 1:SS A. M. MONDAY. H alley's comet rise. Monday at 2:35 A. M. ; Tuesday, 2:34 A. M. Sun rises, 4:44. Comet's speed Monday, about 1808 miles per minute. Comet crosses Venus" path, retreating; Into space. Hundreds of Portland people broke their usual habit to arise before day break yesterday, and were well repaid by & fine view of Halley's comet, which appeared above the horizon shortly be fore 3 o'clock and remained m view un til the advancing dawn dimmed Its bril liancy. A large number of persons climbed the steep ascent of Council Crest, others went to Kings Heights, the terraces) at the head of Seventh street, and to every point of vantage about the city. Even on the lower ground, where there is an unobscured view to the east, many arose from their beds and watched the erratic star from upper windows and housetops. Comet Now Brighter. Professor J. W. Daniels, of Hill Mili tary Academy, was. as usual, on the watch at Council Crest, and reports a display in every respect the same as that reported by him on Saturday morning, except that he thought the comet was a shade brighter than on the previous day. Thi he expected, and its brilliancy may increase slightly for the next few days, after which, as It approaches the vicinity of the earth. It will be more difficult to find until after its transit, when it will appear in the west after sunset. The pulsations of light, which Profes sor Daniels takes to be a storm in the gases of the comet caused by currents set up by the heat of the sun, were still noticeable, but not so violent as on Sat urday, as- is to be expected as the comet journeys away from the sun's influence. Many persons arrived at Council Crest about daylight, expecting that the comet would Te visible after the sun rose, but they were disappointed, as the visitor Is not and will not be bright enough to be seen in daylight. Firefighters Get Good View. Firemen on watch at the stations throughout the city saw the comet at a good advantage. Captain George W. Stokes, of the Sellwood station, was among the watchers and holds himself well repaid for his vigil. While not as brilliant as former cometst the present manifestation, he says, is well worth the slight discomfort of early rising. The head is much larger, in appear ance, than the planet Venus, but not nearly so bright, and the length of the tail is ' expressed by Captain Stokes in a mundane measure of eight or ten feet. The- crew at the Sellwood station watched the display for nearly an hour. Passengers and crews on vessels in the river also saw the comet. One man on the steamer George W. Elder thinks that the body was wagging its tail like a happy dog when he observed it, but others on the ship failed to observe this activity and believe that the relator had not yet rid. himself of his sea-legs when he saw the many million miles of gaseous streamer Vibrating through the circum ambient ether. Last Chance Due in Few Days. Those who do not see the comet within the next few days will miss their best chance, according to Professor Daniels. Even the transit across the sun, on May 18, at which time the tail will envelop the earth, probably will not -be visible here, as it will occur Just about sunset. Farther west, in the Pacific Ocean, this phenomenon will be at its best, and if the head of the comet is composed of opaque substance it may be possible to see the spot travel across the disk of the sun. Neither does Professor Daniels expect any meteoric showers to accompany the passage of the earth through the comet's tail. He says that spectrum analysis has so far failed to establish the fact that there are solid substances in the tail which could become visible by burning in our atmosphere, and he even expresses a doubt whether the tail is composed of even so tenuous a substance as gas. He offers a theory that the so-called tail may be nothing but rays of the. sun, refracted in some unexplained manner by the Intervention of the nucleus. He even casts doubt upon the general belief that the nucleus itself is a solid sub stance, but admits that this is pure the ory. In any case, he joins with all other authorities in scouting the fear that there may be any untoward results from the meeting of the earth and the comet, and predicts that dwellers upon this sphere will be entirely unconscious of the passage.

Big Sunday Rally Results In Blot ting Out All but $900 of $2000 Indebtedness. For 20 yeans the congregation of the First African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the oldest organised religious negro body in the state, has fought a mortgage debt of $2000, but the strain is now past. A big rally, attended by as -many whites as negroes, was held in the church yesterday afternoon, and ellOO was raised. The remaining $000. Rev. W. W. Matthews, pastor of the church, and a number of ministers and business men who attended the meeting, promised to raise by canvass by the end of the week. The church was incorporated January 30, 1869, by nine negroes, all of whom had been slaves, hey first held serv ices in a small building with a seating capacity of 2S. In 1884 the congregation purchased the old edifice of the Calvary Presbyterian Church, at Main and Thir teenth streets, for $4000, and the sanc tuary has since been its mortgaged home. The first $2000 wa raised, but the last MAKER or 231 WASHINGTON ST: PORTLAND o Resort- . MEMS CLOTHES half of the debt has hovered like a specter over the little band of worship pers until It was ready to succumb. Rev. Mr. Matthews decided to make a final stand before giving up, and called for help. After counseling with other ministers and a few business men the rally was arranged for yesterday after noon. Upon this meeting hung the fate of the church. T. S. McDaniel presided. Rev. Thomas H. Walker, of Calvary Presbyterian Church, read the scripture lesson, and Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, of Temple Beth-Israel, which Is directly across the street from Zion Church, de livered the address. A few other speak ers were called upon and then Mr. Mc Daniel hurried, to raise money. A large chart, marked off in sections for $100, $50, $25. $15, $10, $5 ard $250 contributions, hung back of the pulpit, adding a total of $3000. As subscriptions came in a red arrow marked out the amount contrib uted. Gradually the chart was painted red until only $900 was left. Tears streamed down the face of Rev. Mr. Matthews as he thanked the dona tors for their liberality. The doxology was then loudly sung and the congrega tion mingled in a love feast. The retiring Councilmen were: C. E. Broadbent, P.
