Impressively t the HeJllg Theater last
night. The theater was packed and a

m-as never housed under Its roof. Mad

played the principal feminine role with
fine dramatic fervor. Her most po

Madame I'rager was brought back
many time, and was most generous
In responding.
Of her supporting cast especial praise
goes to Madame Shapiro for her ex
cellent character drawing of a very
old women, tho venerable grandmother
of the heroine. Madame Shapiro'a feeble
step, her querulous voice, and above
all her makeup, were faithful to a
marked degree. 8. German enacted
with skill the role of the. rabbi and
father who desired his daughter to
marry a man of his i noosing, instead of
going into the reformed church to find
a husband. Mrs. S. German played de
lightfully as the robbers wife a role
she invested with - quaint comedy.
Samuel Bloom, as tho girl's lover, sang
In a fine, well-rounded baritone and
quite won his audience by his sympa
thetic acting. A. Liansky was the nec
essary comedian, and danced as well
as sang himself into evory one's Rood
graces, being forced to respond to nu
merous encores. J. Goldstein as the
husband-to-be picked for the; girl by
her father proved the master of his
rather difficult role-.
The story concerned the religious
differences betwen the reformed and
the orthodox Jewish church, and was
presented in a way that offended none
and gavo pleasure to all. Tonight

SOLDIERS DEAD SHOTS
An t-nglishnian Invents a New Kind
of Ririe Sight.
London Chronicle.
Kvery soldier who has been in battle
knows that the vast majority of bullets
never find their mark. It has been es
timated that In the South African War
it required more than 6000 bullets to
lilt one of the enemy.
This is due chiefly to the difficulty
which soldiers have In finding their dis
tance range In the- heat of battle. How
ever good they may be at target shoot
ing at Hlsley. It Is a very different
thing when they have to fire at an un
known distance, at living targets which
are answering their shots. Tho boldest
and bravest man Is excited, and It Is a
supreme test of nerves and skill to
make that cold calculation which la
necessary to Judge tho distance between
himself and the enemy not an easy
thing, however steady a man's pulse
may be.
Hut now there comes an Invention
which promise- to maae eve-ry soldier
a dead shot. The Inventor Is C. Om
mundaen. known as King's prise man at
Bisley.
Hy the application of a simple geo
metrical law very simple, like other
things, when you happen to know It
he has produced a new rifle sight
which doe away altogether with the
difficulty of finding the range of dis
tance. The soldier simply has to judtro
the apparent height of the object which
he desires to hit. which by experience
Is known to be absurdly easy, and to
shoot, according to a fixed sight, at a
point below the object equal to Jts
height.
If he does that he "drops" his man.
Naturally the nearer he Is to the object
the taller il looks, so that the point at
which the rifleman alms varies to wc
aclly the same degree.
Ienvcr Turn RellRlous.
Denver Times.
Some society women and even the
staid bulr'k of Denver society have
renounced the lure of the "world, the
flesh and the devil" and are engaged
In meditation and practice of religious
cults.
Denver was declared the probable
scene of the second coming- of Christ
at a meeting recently.
The supposition. promulgated by
Mrs. L. A. Do Leeuw, of New Tork
and London. Is based on the Important
fact that Denver is almost the center
of the universe.
The host of believers in this theory
have foresworn dancing and card-playing
for prises, and wear tiny silver
stars in betokening their belief in the
coming of the Savior.

Incentive Wlik-li Brings Out
Oratif)li-.jr Attendance.
Fully 700 men participated in the
nuartcrly Inspection ot the Portland
divisions of the fircKon National Guard
at the Armory Thursday night, before
Governor Vcst. in numbers the inspec
tion was tiie largest ever held in Port
land, and in the spirit manifested and
in drill tactics, was the most enthusias
tic and the most perfect.
It was the report that the Oregon
Guards might be called upon for duty
111 Mexico that prompted the members
to make the excellent showing they
did last night. "Should we be called
upon." said Adjutant-General Flnxer
last night, "1 think we have amply dem
onstrated tonight that we will have a
body of men ready to meet any
emergency and do nil that is required
of them."
Of fleers Mee Review.
Reviewing the drills with Gover
nor West were Adjutant-General Ffn
Jter and Major V. il. Knapp. Captain
Leo M. Clark, who has served for 20
years In Battery A of the Field Ar

been transferred to a captaincy in the
ordnance department, was also an in
terested cctator in the reviewing
stand. Major Dentler. of the regular
Army. Instructor cf the guard here,
supervised the drills.
The divisions participating were the
six companies of the Third Oregon In
fantry, consisting of Companies B. C, E.
F. II and K; Buttery A of the Field Ar
tillery, the Kiglith IteKlment of the
S.acoast Artillery, and the Ambulance
Corps section. Both bands of the Third
Infantry and of the Seacoast Artillery
played during- the drills of their re
spective departments.
Tho inspection opened with a grand
regimental review, in which every di
vision represented in th; Inspection
participated. The spectacle of 700 men
entering the Immense hall tor the stir
ring music of two bands playing mar
tial airs, and going through th5 var
ious maneuvers at the commands of
their various officers, brought forth
thunder of applause from the crowd
that filled the balcony to overflowing.
After the regimental review the dif
ferent divisions went through their
drills separately.

NO NEW NATIONAL AIR
rinn lo Supplant "Slar Spangled
Banner" Not Well Kcccived.
Washington (D. C.) Herald.
The plan proposed by Dr. J. B. Mc-
V.i.lni nr.iiH.nl of the Chicago
Board of Kducatlon, for the creation of
a new National antnem strikes no an
swering -spark In Washington, D. C.
The women of this city connected with
patriotic clubs and associations are
unanimous In their opposition to any
..I,. -H i H aA.lf to riitinlace the "Star-
Knanded Banner" from the place It
holds In every American heart.
Dr. McFatrlch's plan is to nave
every school child lu America con
i .1 1... t . ,ne Tie n n v toward a fund to be
given to the author of the anthem se
lected by a board out or tnose suo
Minui t; m Keiieves that anveral hun
dred thousand dollars could be ob
tained In this way. The anthem se
lected by the board would be sub
mitted to Congress with the Intention
of having It created the National an
them.
Kach community would hold Its own
r tamt m rwl the COmDetitlon Would
also be'National In scope, according to
the plans OI tne l.niraso euucaiur.
I'rizes would bo given to the winner
In each division.
This plan, well as it may look on
paper, fails to receive any favor among
h. n.trintir women of Washington.
They assert in no uncertain terms that
this country already has a National
anthem which could not be Improved
upon. Any attempt to supplant the
"Star-Spangled Banner" will fall of
consideration In this city. The "Star
Spangled Banner" holds a place of its
own in fvery true American heart, they
declare, and Is sufficient to thrill to
patriotism any real American, without
the aid of any new1 anthem.
It is In times of war. they assert,
that true patriotism is required, and
then no other song could stir up the
patriotism of the Nation's defenders
as would the "Star-Spangled Banner."
Wbdom From Confucius.
Kansas City Star.
Some of the sayings of Confucius,
which are to the Chinese what our
Bible la to us. are:
"Not to withdraw after making an
error Is in Itself an error.
"Knowledge is when you know a
thine to hold that you know it; and
wlit a you, do not know a thing to allow
that you do not know it. That is
knowledge.
"Sincerity is the end and beginning
of things.
"To sec the right and not to do it is
to be a coward.
"Four of tho murks of a superior man
are: In the conduct of himself he is
humble; In serving his superiors he Is
respectful: In nourishing the people he
Is kind;-in ordering the people he is
Just.
"The difference between the geat
man and the ordinary man is that .be
treat man has a fair mind and sees all
sides, and the common man has a mind
which Is partisan and one-sided.
"At a funeral It la better that there
be deep sorrow than a minute attention
to ceremony.
"Whatever the mind may attain to,
unless the goodness within is powerful
enough to keep guard over it, is as
suredly lost even though it be gained.
"Ho with whom neither slander that
gradually soaks in nor statements that
startle like wounds in the flesh are
successful may be called intelligent in
deed. Yes. the man with whom neith
er slander nor startling statements are
successful may be called far-seeing."
Who's Who of Criminals.
Green Bag.
The "Who's Who" of America's
criminals is a handsome volume, bound
In limp leather, a limited edition of
which is Issued every year or so. Only
members of "the four hundred" of the
criminal world find representation in
this register, and an entire page is de
voted to each individual mentioned.
Officially, the volume Is known as
the "Identification Album of the Na
tional Bureau of Criminal Identifica
tion," an Institution having headquar
ters at Washington. D. C. Data for
the album which Is literally a blue
book are supplied by the police de
partments of over 100 cities through
out the country, and it is to these de
partments that the volumes are dis
tributed. Kach branch of criminal endeavor
has a separate chapter in the book,
one telling of pickpockets, another of
forgers and so on. At the top of each
page are reproduced two photographs
of a distinguished criminal a profile
and full face. , Below come name,
aliases, age, height, weight, general
appearance and marks and scars. Ber
tillon meaHurements and criminal rec
ord fill out the page.
Filed in the bureau are about 75.000
identification cards, dealing with crim
inals not sufficiently famous to de
serve place In the "Who's Who." Kach
of these cards Is similar to a page
from the book. About one-tenth of the
total number of cards are for women.
About one-fourth are for negroes.
The Fairy Touch.
Clarence Stone, in the Atlantic
There are people who have the fairy
touch. In the Intimate human associa
tions, held together by kindred blood or
by kindred ideals, these folk -of the
fairy transmutation serve the same in
valuable purpose which genius does to
the world at large: they open the hearts
of men and bring them close. The little
circles where we relax and commune,
where we recurrently meet a few per
sons and pleasures, and are met at times
by sorrow, owe much of their unity and
flavor to people often of indifferent ac
complishment but of the fairy touch.
Indeed, they are not only like genius,
they have genius. The difference be
tween them and the men of more dur
able achievement Is but a difference of
strength and of concentration. Surely
they understand; and the gift of ex
pression is theirs, though it be but
fleeting, fragile, shadowy.

Not Her Quarrel, Anyhow.
Youth's Companion.
The fact that corporal punishment is
discouraged in the public schools of
Chicago is what led Bobby's teacher to
address this note to the boy's mother:
"Dear Madam: I regret very much to
have to tell you that your son, Rob
ert, Idles away his time. Is disobedient,
quarrelsome and disturbs the pupils
who are trying to study their lessons.
He needs a good whipping and I
stronglv recommend that you give him
one. Yours truly. MISS BLANK."
To this Bobby's mother responded as
follows:
"Dear Miss Blank: Lick him your

I-ovett M. Wood Will Address Mem
bers of Chamber of Commerce
at 12:30 P. M. Today.
To arouse the business and shipping
Interests In Portland In Oie enormous
trade possibilities with the Orient.
Lovett M. Wood, commercial agent of
the bureau of manufacturers of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
will address members of the Chamber
of Commerce at 12:30 o'clock today
at the Commercial Club.
Mr. Wood will point out the neces
sity of establishing a distrbuting point
at Manila and of making that point a
free port of entry. He believes that
the great awakening of the Orient
will create an enormous demand for
American products and that If the
Pacific Coast Is to receive the great
est benefit the people and the manufac
turers and shippers must unite on a
definite plan to enjoy the foreign trade
that is bound to develop by leaps and
bounds. ' ;
"The Department of Commerce and
Iabor has been working on a plan .for
the promotion of the foreign trade."
said Mr. Wood last night. "If the Pa
cific Coast Intends to take advantage
of the great possibilities for this for
eign business, it must build up not
only Us individual ports, but a definite
and concerted plan of action must be
worked out to prepare itself for the
enormous prospective business. The
Orient is awakening rapidly to modern
needs and will draw on America and
Europe for manufactured products and
merchandise in greater volume than
ever.
"With the Pacific Coast the gateway
to the Orient, the ports of this coast
will handle a great trade, but they
must be alive to the situation and in
vite Eastern manufacturers to estab
lish plants here.
"The Pacific Coast also should be
prepared for such changes that must
result in the rearrangement of freight
rates, shipping facilities and trade
distribution on the opening of the Pan
ama Canal. Portland can get its share
of this great business, but it must
begin now to make proper prepara
tions. "In the building up if this trade, it
will be necessary to provide a suitable
depot for the distribution of goods for
the markets of the Orient. It is our
opinion that Manila Is the logical cen
ter of distribution. One of the great
duties of the Pacific Coast people will
be to urge Congress to make Manila
a free port of entry, so that it will be
come the one great depot for the dis
tribution of American products."
President Knapp urges all members
of the Chamber of Commerce and per
sons Interested in manufacturing and
shipping to attend the luncheon today
to near Mr. Wood's address. Mr. Wood
has visited the principal cities of the
Pacific Coast the past few weeks and
everywhere found great Interest and
enthusiasm over the trade possibili
ties of the Ctast .

Where Everybody Loves Gardens.
Century.
In Japan everyone loves gardens,
knows gardens and makes gardens.
The children amuse themselves with
toy gardens instead of mud pies, and
model relief , maps in the sands of
school playgrounds. In the recent wars
the soldiers. after long marches,
amused themselves by making little
borne landscapes before their tents. In
more remote times emperors and sho
guns abdicated and joined or estab
lished monasteries in Kioto, that they
might the better meditate upon the
eternal truths, and enjoy gardens of
their own designing. Priests, nobles
and court ladies all observed the con
