at the Heilis under the direction of
Steers & Coman. This, her first appear
ance in Portland, is fraught with great
interest to all lovers of music, for

youth have irresistible appeal for any
audience, be it in Paris, or New York,
Berlin or London.
The Boston Globe says of her voice
"It is superfluous to comment upon the
exquisite character of Miss Teyte's art.
It is a voice of strange and unusual
beauty: it ha its own individual qual
ity, the poignant wistful note of t
mountain bird heard in its flight over
peaks or across a gorge, then lost to
sight and sound. The hint of pathos, of
gentle pleading, the thought of eye
lashes still wet with tears, ever He

Some Make Frequent Reneirala.
"The prevailing rates of interest in
New York for 60-day and, 90-Say "loans
are 4 and 4 per cent. Many rail
roads and industrial corporations are
?er to borrow money for longer
periods, but they are unable to get it
on terms to suit them. Some of them
are borrowing for 60 and 90 days and
making frequent renewals. Of course
this system of temporary financin
cannot long continue."
Mr. Baker expressed belief that as
son as the war 1 over business will
become more settled and plenty of
money will be available to finance the
various enterprises that now need
financing.

They are Walter F. Hill, son of
James J. Hill, the railroad builder, and
George F. Baker, Jr., son of George F.
Baker, the eminent New York banker.
Both .were passengers on the steamer
Great Northern, which arrived at Fla
vel Tuesday on her initial voyage.
Mr. Hill had been a passenger on the
steamer from the time she left Fhila
delphta In January. He came with
her through the Canal and then went
on the excursion to Honolulu. He left
yesterday for his home in fcSt. Paul. Mr.
Hill has been associated with his father
and other members of his tamily in
various railroad and industrial enter
prises and is a stockholder In the Great
Northern and other roads. He is the
youngest of James J. Hill's children.
Bfeir Service Pleases Both.
Mr. Baker has been passing his va
cation in California and sought the op
portunity of returning home via Port
land and of testing out tlie merits of
the new steamship service. Both he and
Mr. Hill were highly encouraged, over
the prospects for business on the Fla-vel-San
Francisco run.
Mr. Baker is a vic president of the
First National Bank, of New York, of
which his father is chairman. He
also is a director of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad, which, with the Great
Northern Railroad, owns all the stock
in the new steamship company.

St. 'Patrick's Day.

Judge.
T. PATRICK'S day in the raor-r-
rnin" blithly carolled Patrick
O'Harn, as he made his. way down Burn
side street Tuesday night. Then a wave
of self-pity swept over Patrick, and
his song ended in a sigh. His patron
saint would indeed rule in the morn
ing, but how was he to celebrate the
joyous occasion when his last jitney
had just been shoved over the bar?
Harry Hanson. Swedi&li, at that mo
ment passed unsteadily down the oppo
site pavement. "A gift of the gods
me disthress." thought Patrick, and he
followed Hanson's weaving steps. His
hand was in Hanson's pocket when he
was espied by Larry Madden, patrol
man. The law had Patrick in its
clutches a moment later.
"I je3 wanted some money to cele
brate St. Patrick's day wid," the pris
oner tearfully told the officer.-
Larry Madden is Irish, very Irish,
and, patrolman though he is, the ap
peal was one that greatly impressed
him. but the call of duty proved
stronger than that of his heart.
"Sorry, I am fer ye, me bye," says
Larry, "but ye must come along wid
me."
"Thirty days." said the unfeeling
magistrate at the Municipal" Court yes
terday morning, though he, himself,
wore a shamrock in his buttonhole.
Patrick's sympathizers in the court
room heaved a sigh in unison, and the
green shamrock tags or the Oswego
Orphan Home fluttered dejectedly on
manly bosoms.
It was then that Deputy City Clerk
Neal Crounse revealed the hitherto un
