Reaches Home Vnharmed.
Liittle MarjoriB Hamilton, 5 years old.
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.

About 10 o'clock last night Marjorie ap

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." "

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.

20-YEAR DEBT FADING
AFRICAN METHODIST CHURCH
RAISES MORTGAGE.
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

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.
