V. K. Hinton Speaker.
Made postb!e by the munificence of
Mrs. Anna M. K. Mann, widow or I'eter
John Mann, the beautiful Old Peoples
Home building, a three-story brick.
seml-flreproof structure located on
seven-acre tract at Sandy road and Kast
Thirty-second street, was yesterday
formally dedicated and the deed to the
property was turned over to the trus-
tee of the Old Peoples' Home Corpora
tion. C. A. Dolph. Charles E. Ladd.
Richard Williams, Tyler Woodward and
Martin Winch. The building; and
grounds represent an Investment on the
part of Airs. Mann of approximately
1 13.1.O00.
The dedicatory address was delivered
ry Rev. W. B. Hinson. pastor of the
White Temple. Bishop ScaddlnfC of
fered prayer. Mayor flmon spoke brief
ly, felicitating the trustees upon the
generous gift which had been turned
over to them and praising the gener
osity of Mrs. Mann. lr. Luther K.
Dyott. pastor of the First Coitgrega
tlonal Church, formally turned the deed
ver to Cyrus A. Dolph. who accepted
It on behalf of the board of trustees.
Fully (09 were In attendance.
Mrs. Mann Congratulated.
Mrs. Mann was congratulated on all
Ides. At her express request her name
was mentioned very little In the ad
dresses, but she was unable to (ret
way from the enthusiastic groups
which gathered around her after the
ceremonies wre over. Many old people
who contemplate taking up their resi
dence In the building were present and
their thanks were the most effusive.
"The best way to perpetuate memory
Is to confer favors upon people in the
two extremes of Hi." said Rev. Mr.
Hinson In his address. It is especially
desired that such favors should be
shown people who are entering the
darkened period of life. Old age lives
In the past and largely for this reason
the present should be made beautiful
and peaceful for those in advanced
years. It Is especially fitting that this
home should be for both men and wo
men, as It will permit of a husband and
wife not being forced to sever their
relationship until they pass on up to
the Galea of Pearl.
Philanthropist Is Praised.
"The good wishes, the good will and
the prayers of aged people will follow
the donors of this building throughout
life and even Into death. I have been
prohibited from saying much of a
laudatory nature, but I will say that I
can conceive of no greater philan
thropy than the providing of the com
forts and necessities of life for those
In less fortunate circumstances than
ourselves."
Rev. William M. Foulkes read from
the Scriptures, selecting the following
passages: Psalms. 11; Isaiah. 0; Mat
thew. 1 1:55-30; John S:1-2I: Revela
tions. 21:1-4 and 22:1-1 and 17-21.
"In accepting this generous gift on
behaJf of the Home and it strusteea. I
beg to assure you It will be forever
held as a trust sacred to the glory of
God and the benefit of mankind." said
C A- Dolph. "It may not at all times
be wisely administered, for to err Is
human, but however It may be admin
istered, it will remain an everlasting
monument to the name of the generous
giver.
Founder Is Eulogized.
Tt was a happy thought which in
spired John Mann to say. 'No home Is
complete that does not admit men as
well as women. All honor to the
roble women who planned the Old
Ladles' Home, but it was a broader and
better phllanthorpy which Impelled
Mrs. Mann to ope Its doors wide
enough to admit both met and women.
Hither In future years will come hus

"Not since Caruso came to San Francisco and thrilled the public
has the singing voice of a man aroused such enthusiasm as did
Oorgoxa's." says the San Francisco Chronicle. "Nature has indeed
lavished gifts upon him. He has temperament, sympathy. Intelligence
and a handsome presence with rare vocal power. If a man with a
voice of velvet, a big. round voice of remarkable range, can sing In
the very mood of the composer, now ringing with the buoyancy of
"The Toreador." now softening to the tenderness of the lullaby and
win the hearta of mon and women alike if he can do all this on a
bare unchanted concert stage, what might he not do to electrify his
hearers In the glamor of the operatic stage?"

Sod Turned March 9 Last.
The flnut od in the construction of the
building which waa yesterday dedicated
was turned March t, 1910. The corner
stone was laid May 9 by Mayor Simon.
Many rooms In the building have al
ready been furnished. Among those con
tributing furniture are: Mrs. F. G. Eg
gert. Mrs. A.- Stalger and Miss Rose M.
Avery, Mrs. H. U Plttock. Mr. Hannah
Robertson. Mrs H. C. Ewlng. Mr. and
Mrs. Delck. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Page.
Mrs. C. W. Burroge. Mrs. Stgmund Frank.
Mrs. 8. Farrel. Mm. H. S. Gile, John C.
Carson and J. G. Mack.
Among the articles of furniture In the
building are some which belonged to
David C- Lewis and Rebecca Lewis, Mrs.
Mann's father and mother, pioneers of
Oregon, and to f)r.. McKlnnel, the first
homeopathic physician to practise In the
etate. A sliver tea set which belonged
to Dr. McKlnnel is in the main dining
room and th office furniture which he
used has been Installed in one of the
rooms to be used as an office at the
home.
Many other people have offered to fur
nish rooms. It la anticipated all will be
In readiness for occupancy before the ar
rival of Summer.
The trustees will hold a meeting this
week, at which rules regulating entrance
to the new home will be formulated. It
Is Mrs. Mann's wish to have the Institu
tion appear as little as possible as a
charity, but Mill to have no regulations
which would bar deserving people who
may not be able to pay. The trustees
will probably adopt the policy of passing
upon each application for admission sepa
rately. First Guest Arrives.
What Is now the Old People's Home
was organised In 1903 as an Old Ladles'
Home. During his lifetime P. J. Mann
wis considering endowing a home for
effect In i-.ls will. Mrs. Mann, however,
determined to respect his wishes. The
name of the Old Ladies' Home corpora
tion, to which considerable property had
already been bequeathed, by Mrs. Amanda
W. Reed. Mrs. Hiram Sknith and others,
was changed to the Old People' Home
and Mrs. Mann then had the new build
ing, dedicated yesterday, erected and
donated to the trustee body of the new
Institution, the personnel of which was
the same as that of the Old Ladies' Home
corporation.
At their meeting this week the trustees
will arrange for the employment of peo
ple to take charge of the new building
and Its inmates. Several old people who
are now In the home on Second street,
the old Reed dwelling, will then be trans
ferred to the new structure.

the wound was so near the artery that
Its throbbing was very evident and that
the slightest deviation would have made
death almost certain.
Five perforations were made by the
ball, yet the woman lost little blood and
is well on the road tp recovery. The In
fant Is also doing well. No report of the
shooting was made to the police at the
time, as It was thought impossible to
run down the offender. The ball was from
a .32 caliber revolver.

Y. M. O. A.'s of Pacific Northwest
May Hold Membership Campaign.
H. W. Stone, general secretary, and
J. H. Meehan, membership secretary, of
the Portland Young Men's Christian As
sociation, left last night for Tacoma,
where a conference of the general and
membership secretaries of the associa
tions of Portland, Spokane, Tacoma and
Seattle will be held today. As a result
of this meeting, it is expected that a
general membership campaign will soon
be inaugurated in wnicn me i. .vi. a.
of the four cities will participate.
It Is proposed to make the campaign
competitive. It will extend the same
length of time In each city, and at night
the number of members gained by each
association will be telegraphed to the
other three. This would serve to make
the contest one of municipal rivalry
Portland, with its 4019 members, has a
big lead over each of tin other cities.
It is believed by the local secretaries
that It would be comparatively easy to
increase the membership to 6000 here.
The secretaries will also consider other
problems, such as the growth during the
past year and the assimilation of mem-
Ders into tne lire or the Y. M. C. A. The
assimilation of members Is ' considered
more Important than the mere lAcrease
in enrollment.

The instinct of modesty natural to every woman is often a
great hindrance to the cure of womanly diseases. Women
shrink from the personal questions of the local physician
which seem indelicate. The thought of examination is ab
horrent to them, and so they endure in silenoe a condition
of disease which surely progresses from bad to worse.
