Marie Flynn, the little prima donna who visited us this season as Tvette ln "Madame Sherry." is to- be billed as the second Edna May. She is little known in the East and her new man ager, George W. Lederer, is resting great hopes on her appearance at the premier of "The Charity Girl," a new musical comedy. It was formerly known as 'The Clairvoyant," with Ed ward Peple as the -author and the score by Victor Hollaendes. a . a Mabel Hlte, whose serious Illness is recorded ln the dally papers, has great following of. admirers in Port land, where she has appeared on the Orpheum circuit with her husband. Mike Donlln. Until her recent illness she has been in vaudeville at the Al hambra Theater ln New York. Miss Hite has not been well for several weeks and has fulfilled her vaudeville engagements against the advice of her physicians. On several occasions she has collapsed upon leaving the stage. and It was only by the exercise of great will power that she appeared last week at the Colonial. When her com pany assembled at the Alhambra last Monday afternoon they were notified that Miss Hlte was confined to her bed. The. aggregation of "clowns" re malned on the bill, however, presenting their singing and dancing numbers. a a . Charles Yule, who was a member of Max Figman's company at the Hellig last Summer, Is seriously IU In ban Jose with blood poisoning. One scents a press agent In the stories that have been ln circulation relative to the disappearance of May Yohe, for now comes the announce ment of her engagement at Hammer- stein s Roof -.Garden.. The typewritten paragraph that contains this news states that Miss Yohe's disappearance was "sensational1 and that, the entire country was agi tated thereby. The "entire country" ln this Instance presumably means Oscar Hammerstein and his boy press agent, Loney Haskell. ' At any rate. Miss Yohe will oblige next Monday. She will render two songs, and, according to the gentle manly press representative, "do a mon ologue dealing with tha nuptial affairs of her former husbands. Lord Francis Hope and Putnam- Bradlee Strong. Loney Haskell, by the way. is the same dreary monologist who enter tains (?) us annually via vaudeville. Naturally, we feel a bit interested In all he writes about May Yohe, as she resided ln this city for a year and Is one of Portland's own, as it were. That is. If by any chance she makes good at Hammersteln's. If she doesn't well, she is just May Yohe again, 1 Frank A. Tilden, who has been out here once each season with one pro duction or another, comes to the Hel lig tonight ln "The Real Thing", with Henrietta Crosman, who makes her first visit since the one two years ago in Percy Mackaye's comedy "Anti-Matrimony." a a . a . Five vaudevilllsts ln Portland this week are paying their first visit to the city since 1888, when they appeared here as children in a bicycle act. They are the members of the family of eight Elliott Savonas, now on the boards at the Orpheum in a musical act. Be fore coming to Portland ln 1888 the Elliott children were featured with P. T. Barnum's circus and their tour west was delayed by a suit filed against Barnum, who was accused of "cruelty to children" by presenting the young sters ln their bicycle turn. Barnum was acquitted after the children per formed before a committee df phy sicians and teachers, who decided the circus act of the boy and girl per formers was healthful exercise.

In fact, he has been a member of Ba ker Stock Company ever since there has been one, and the only present member who was in the very first com pany George L. Baker ever organised. As a "make-up" artist Billy has quite a record, and that it is not a vain glory is proved by the following incident. During the evening parades last week the curtain did not go up until after the parades had passed, but in order to be ready immediately the company members were obliged to have their 'make-ups" on. and in these they stole into secluded places and watched the parades. Now Billy Dills and his wife reside ln a nearby family hotel kept by a very fine old Southern couple. The windows of the Dills' apartments over look the street, so Billy hit upon the Idea of getting all ready to play his role of the villain ln -wunnre" ana then slipping over when no. one was looking and watching the parade with his wife from the window. As he passed through the hall the host spied him and glared suspiciously, but Bill, unconscious of his changed appearance, made some alleged funny remark and went upstairs. Footsteps followed him, but he did not look around. When be entered the room, the steps stopped just outside the. door. "Someone's fol lowing me," said Bill. "Who?" asked Mrs. Dills. "I don't know open the rl .in. auHdonlv and catch him." . Mm. Dills did so and there stood the host and the look in his eyes cannot be de scribed in cold type. Surprise and an ger predominated, but, evidently, not wishing to create a disturbance, he turned and left, and still the Dills were not "wise." After the parade they went downstairs . to the office. ' Here the frost amounted to a regular silver thaw and Mrs. Dills' cheerful greetings and praise of tne electric parade were met with cold and ominous silence. The old man was writing at the desk and never looked up, evidently Intent upon getting his literary acnievement nn- nished immediatelq. Suddenly he started to hand Mrs. Dills the paper, when- a chance remark caused Billy to tumble to the cause of the whole af fair his landlord thought he was what he had made himself up to repre sent in the play a deep, double-dyed villain and that during the real Bill's absence at the theater, his wife was watching the parade from her window with a gay Lothario. The paper, which was Mrs. Dills' notice to leave the hotel, was quickly crumpled up In the host's hand and he made a slide for the door and disappeared, followed by a chorus of laughter ln which even the surprised landlady joined. Billy says he will watch parades in the future from the theates when his make-up Is on. ARB THB VOTERS BETTER OFF Bead Maa Reviews Political Issues, Old and New. ' BEND. Or, June 17. (To the Edl tor.) In 1896 we had Bryan and free silver, and It was surprising to see hew near it 'came to carrying the day. The only thing that saved the country was the length of time between tha nomination and the election. The Great Moses of the people first Jumped at the free silver proposition as the only sal vation (and our Democratic friends to this day blame Cleveland for disrupt ing the party, by keeping on "a gold basis), but the facts were, the more the people studied the silver question the more they become convinced that we must have a standard of money and that gold, which at that time was worth, bullion value, silver 49c to gold 100c. -Again ln 1900, our friend. W. J. Bryan, was our standard-bearer on the Democratic side. He had forgot all about the silver bugaboo it was Im perialism Instead. He did mention the fact that owing to the production of gold ln Alaska the money question was no longer an Issue. But did the Amer ican people believe this, when the plain facts were that we, as a Nation, had borrowed the gold from the foreign na tions and they,-- during the Cleveland administration, fearful that we were going to pay them back in silver dol lars worth 49c, were anxious. So in 1896, after McKinley's election, our for. eign friends saw that we, as a Nation were honest after all, and they did not want any more of their gold, but were ready to loan it back to us. How soon times changed tor the better! And after Bryan's defeat ln 1900 you heard nothing of Imperialism. . It looks as though the Demecratic party wanted only to be on tha wrong side of every question and that la the case to this day. I have watched them closely, for the Bible says, "Read all and hold fast to that which Is good, and I have carefully read all sides, but am all at sea for that which Is good. .Now, after 12 years of prosperity, we are on the edge of despair. The coun try has grown and prospered.'- We have trusts galore. The railroads have con solldated into great systems. We have the Interstate Commerce Commission, the referendum, the direct primary, the recall of judges and the Lord only knows what next. But are we any bet ter off now than in the old times? Have we got better men tn our public offices than in the good old days when we had state conventions? You know, ln those days If the conventions did not put up good, clean men, they stood no show of election, for the dear people had a chance at them at the polls, and they generally used It.- ' Now, what bothers me more than anything else is the direct primary. Is It good or bad? D6ea it represent the people? Let us take our own state, for in stance. We hold primaries on tha 18th of April. We have got to register that we are either Democrat or Republican, and it- seems there are a good many more Republicans than Democrats vote at the primaries. But when the No vember election comes around we seem to have elected a Democratic Governor, and we have one Democratic Senator ln a state that is Republican by 35,000 to 40,000 majority. Now, why is this? Is it not, the plain facts that our Demo cratic brethren vote the Republican ticket at the primaries to help the Re publicans nominate their weakest man, so he can easily be beaten at the polls. know df several instances here ln thls little city that Democrats voted for T. R. delegates, but said they would not vote for Mr. Roosevelt in Novem ber,; even if he were nominated. If that Is the case here, would it not be the' case all over the state? And then again, what about the 40 per cent or over that did not vote at the primaries? They generally vote at the November elections. How will they vote? Does the' pri mary give the correct will of the peo ple, any more than the old-time con ventions? Don't the politicians all appear at the primaries the same as at the conventions, and do the plain peo ple take any more interest in the pri maries than ln the old convention days? These are the questions I would like to know. A. H. BLACK. Aloysius Is Graduated By Deai Co Ulna.

Half a Century Ago DEFENSE OF MEDICAL LEAGUE Exponent Denies That Orsranlsatlon Is Opposed to Progress. PORTLAND, June 18. (To the Edi tor.) In an editorial this morning you say that the League for Medical Free dom is , opposed to the progress of scientific medicine. May I ask for space to comment upon the league and that for which it stands? Advocating freedom to choose a system or school of healing does not necessarily mean opposition to pro gress. The league is opposed to and is fighting what? A medical trust which would force upon the people through the power of the Government the ac ceptance of a special school of medi cine namely the allopathic school. It must not be thought by this that the league is fighting the allopathic school it is not. Medicine is not an exact and finished science such as mathema tics, and while the league admits the excellence and worth of the splendid doctors of the allopathic school It simply realizes that this school has not the whole of science. The establish mentof a National health department would force upon the American people the acceptance of this, one school of medicine only. And not only that but would in a short time corrupt what is now the noblest . of professions by mixing It with our National politics. There is no place in politics or in Government control for medicine or religion, both of which must remain free from compulsion. No matter how much the adherents of a special school of healing claim for.their system, it. is the right of every free-born American to choose for himself the remedy he prefers, whether It- be allopathy, homeopathy, osteopathy or any other system. Neither the league nor any member of it Apposes sanitation, quar antine or pure food lavs, but they do most emphatically oppose the creation of a medical trust which under the guise of concern for the public health would use the protection ot tne (Govern ment to suppress -every system of healing but one, thus denying to the individual the right or personal 'Choice.

C Randall, who was asphyxiated in a well near Newberg last Tuesday, permit me to make the following statement: I was summoned to the scene of ac cident (10 miles northwest of Newberg) over a phone two miles distance from the place of accident. Hence, I reached the man about one hour after the acci dent occurred, having given instruc tions over phone for artinciai respira tion, hot packs, fresh air, etc Upon my arrival I found that all first aids had been carried out by friends of the unfortunate man, who, however, had had a weak rheumatio heart for two years past. I wish here to state, in regard to modern methods being applied, that ln spite of the rarity of available oxygen in rural districts, a 10-gallon pure oxygen tank was at hand and used. together with artinciai respiration, sa line Infusions, various heart and respi ratory stimulants, but all methods failed after six hours' continuous res torative efforts had been spent. Death was due to gas degeneration of the blood and paralysis of a weak heart. Considerable poisoned water was drawn Into the lungs from lying face downward for 20 minutes in water at the bottom of the well. I feel that this explanation should be made, ln view of speculation as to whether modern methods were applied to resuscitate Mr. Randall. I E. DOOLITTLE, M. V. I I The Cooling of Toms Love.
