10 ORPHEUM .FINALE IS DANDY BILL Features Declared Good While Variety of Attractions Is Worthy of Comment. OPERA SINGER HEADLINER Oldei-t Minstrels in World, One Be ing 84, and "Cliampoen Lady Dlvrr" Are Among Features. F. McGettlgan's Sketch Wins. BY LEONG CASS BAER. It's good-bye week at the Orpheum, and the management has carefully rol lowed the admonition In the old pong Always Leave 'Km Laughing When You Say Good-by." Of course It's only good-by for a little while, hardly a really good-by. Kather it is au revoir until next Kali. They've brought mirth and music. fiense and nonsense, a world-famous prima donna, the King of All Slang lom, the "champeen" lady swimmer and diver of the world," and the two oldest minstrel men in the wide, wide world to make this last Orpheum week a memorable one. Madame Mariska Aldrlch looks like a colorful animated Goddess of Lib erty. Phe Is intensely dramatic, of commanding stage presence and her voice is a big beautiful soprano. She sings an Italian selection, a lovely little English bit. and finishes with a burst of vocal fireworks that thrills and delights. Madame Mariska Is a member of the Metropolitan Opera organization, who has been given special permission for a voyage into vaudeville. Midiimr Mariska Re-Engaged. Just before the matinee opened yes-' terday she received a telegram inform ing her that she has been re-engaged for the next season which may have been one reason she was in such happy mood in her singing. Frank McGettigan, Portlander, must have rejoiced, if he were among those present, at the storms of applause his sketch, as put over by Bert Leslie, elicited from the hilarious audience. The sketch has a capital Idea, that of an adventuress being buncoed ry liogan, AT. P. not member of Parlia ment, but Master Painter. The setting is London and a trio of actors who aupQort Leslie diffuse an English fla vor In their lines, but Hogan is riot ously American. His slang catches like a prairie fire and spread laugh ter The comedy is keen and clean and Mr. Hogan calls to his aid twist ing of the English language that would make Henry James turn In hia grave. A capital little act Is presented by Walter Shannon and Marie Annis. Both are vocalists. Miss Annis has a sweet, clear voice and Mr. Shannon's is of splendid quality and most pleas ing in expression. The two meet at a shine parlor and carry on a flirta tion with each other's feet, singing the messages. They discover they're mar ried to each other and the novelty ends. The act Is sparkling and good fun. Rich Comedy Offered. A sketch that divides itself between miles and tears is offered by a clever actress, Louise Galloway, who dis plays emotional powers of high qual ity and a sense of comedy that is rare. Miss Galloway's sketch is called "Little Mother." In it she appears as a fond, doting mother, whose boy is her pal. When she finds out that he has deceived her: that he is a thief, she does what every little mother un der the shining sun does. She stands by him and clears him of suspicion even though it means giving up the home she has planned for years. Four excellent actors support Miss Gallo way. Of these, the art of John Butler, as the son. and that of Jean Reece. as an eccentric maid, stand out well. The oldest bass singer in the world. Joseph M. Norcross. aged 76. who also holds the distinction of being the oldest Klk in the world, shares honors in a singing act with Colonel Snumel Holdsworth. aged 84 years, and the oldest living minstrel in the world. These two old. silver-haired cronies. Joe and Sammy, are dear delights. In voices that are amazingly tuneful and vigorous they aing some almost for gotten old songs. Their registration is instantaneous and successful. The two Hopkins girls, daughters of a famous theatrical father. Colonel Hopkins, open the bill with a pot pourri of popular songs. Closing the list is Ideal, who mostly bills herself as "Nature's Masterpiece." Ideal Is the "champion lady fancy swimmer and diver of the world." and her act. artistically presented, is made up of fancy dives and a motion picture showing nor daring swimming feats. An exceptionally good exhibition of "World's Events" Is shown. BIG GUNS TO BE STUDIED aiilitia Orrioers Due in Portland Tomorrow on Way to Camp.

LOCKS BUILT IN 20 MONTHS Consulting Engineer Says Plans Took Most Time at Oregon City. Contrary io published statements that it required four years to build the Ore- v V a: ' .... ::::-':- . t::: . : , Photo by Cutberth. LITZER. gon City locks. E. G. Tilton. consulting engineer of San Francisco, in a letter to F. C. Squires, valuation engineer of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, declares that the construction required only 20 months of actual work. Mr. Tilton was chief assistant to the engineer in charge and he says that a great amount of time was devoted by the engineering staff in making construction plans, specifications and estimates. "The contract for the work was awarded to Jordan & Company, of San Francisco, in 1S71 for about $250,000." writes Mr. Tilton. "They began opera tions about the middle of the Summer, but failed for want of funds in about five or six months. Colonel Smith then promised to build the works and com pleted them by June 1, 1873, the date they had to be finished in order to se cure a subsidy granted by the Oregon Legislature. "I was appointed superintendent of operations December 31, 1872, and held that position three or four months until I was appointed to build the canal be tween Lebanon and Albany. As super intendent I had . charge of putting through the Maria Wilkins. the first boat which went through the first locks ever built in the West." OLDEST ELK IS VISITOR r JOSErH M. NORCROSS INSTALLED IX 186S PLAYING AT ORPHEUM. Call Made "With Colonel Samuel Holds--vrorta. Also Member of Long Standing, on Portland Lodge. The oldest living initiated member of the Elks paid a visit to the club rooms of Portland Lodge yesterday. He is Joseph M. Norcross, 75 years old, who was one of the first class of seven men on whom the ritualistic work was conferred after the founding of Lodge No. 1 in New York City. The date was February. 2, 18SS. Mr. Nor cross is appearing at the Orpheum in "Two Old Cronies," a singing skit, in which he is associated with Colonel Samuel Holdsworth. the latter also an Elk of many years' standing. Messrs. Norcross and Holdsworth were the center of interest for the Sunday crowd at Elk headquarters and furnished a few moments of entertain ment with songs. Notwithstanding their years the voices of these men carry the ringing1 qualities of youth, and it is hard to believe, either seeing V Joseph M. Noreross, Oldest I-.lv-Inx Initiates Elk. Who Is in Portland at tnc Orpheum. them on the stage or in"- the lodge rooms, that they are so familiar with Father Time. Last night Messrs. Norcross . and Holdsworth were In receipt of tele grams Informing them that a delega tion of San Francisco Elks would meet their train between Sacramento and Oakland and that the Bingcrs would be the guests of that lodge during their stay in the Golden Gate City. "You see I Installed San Francisco Lodge No. 3 more than 40 years ago," said Mr. Norcross. "The last time I was there the boys came to the theater and after we had concluded our per formance they rushed the stage, picked us up and carried us around the thea ter and finally out the. front door to carriages and took us to the lodge room. "Of the class of seven who were the first men ever iniatiated by an Elks Lodge, but two are living. Brother Barnes is several years younger in age than myself, but of equal age as an Elk. He resides in Southern California. I am now a member of No. 2 at Phila delphia." Adam's Protest. New York Sun. Adam was condemned to earn his bread in the sweat of his face.

OTHER SERMONS PROMISED William Hope Wong-, Just Out of Sick Bed, Makes Plea for Chris tianity to ' Audlcuiee at Sec ond and Oak. Streets. William Hope Wong, an elder in the Chinese Presbyterian Church. First street, astonished his Oriental breth ren yesterday aftea-noon by assuming the role of evangelist at Second and Oak streets. Right into that hotbed of Buddhists and Confucianists. left alone by min isters and other men of the cloth since Portland's Chinatown became worthy of its name, went Mr. Wong. Bible, hymn book and another book in hand. He borrowed a chair and from it addressed his audience In Chinese. After a sermon in which he urged the Chinese to come to God, who cre ated the world, rather than follow the devil, -who, like the Japanese, were trying to steal it, and reminding the Chinese that the Celestials were not an inferior race in God's eyes, and then praising the ITnited States for its democracy, Mr. Wong departed. The congregation was on. the op posite side of the street and kept mov ing restlessly, going and coming, but none dared approach Mr. Wong. Mr. Wong, who is a janitor in D. P. Thompson's store. 250 H First street, has just risen from a sick bed. where he was confined for four months. He says he will preach every Sunday to the Chinese from the street. He said that he came to Portland 34 years ago from China and was con verted by Rev. Dr. S. Hood, formerly a missionary to China, who spoke Chi nese fluently and who established a mission among the Chinese in Port land In 1891. At that time Mr. Wong was a merchant on Washington street. AMERICAN OPERA BILLED ITALIAN. COMPANY WILL PFODVCB "THE MASQUE BALL" TONIGHT. Tomorrow's Matinee of Operatic J Will Be In Aid of Fund for Lambardl Monument. The first purely American grand opera to be presented by the Italian Grand Opera Company in its series of attractions at the Baker Theater, Is Verdi's "The Masque Ball." the bill for tonight. "The Masque Ball" was the last opera written by Verdi, produced in 1858. Verdi originally wished to write his opera around an Italian theme, but when he presented what he had written to the authorities, they refused him permission for presenta tion, on the ground that the story in the opera was nearly identical with a similar law case in Italy at that time. To prevent possible legal action Verdi and his advisors changed the plot and scenes to Boston, and made the period the end of the 17th century. Richard, the British Governor of Boston, Mass., secretly loves Amelia, wife of his secretary, Reinhart. and conspirators warn the secretary of the intrigue. A negro witch. Ulrica, Is called upon to work her evil spell3 upon the Governor, and the latter is warned of the plot to kill him. Amelia and Richard confer, and at a grand ball the plot is exposed. The Governor pays for his love-making on the sly with hia life. Tonight De Folco appears as Rich ard. Silva as the secretary. Miss Kath erine Lynbrook as Amelia, Miss Mackie as Ulrica, Miss Tina Schinetti as Os car, the page: Morelli and Lombardi as two conspirators. Nerl as Silvano. and Rovere as the Judge. The music is gay and sparkling, and the opera is estimated to be a favorite. Tomorrow at 2:20 o'clock a matinee concert by members of the company will be held In aid of the fund to erect a monument to the late Mario Lara bardi on his grave at RiverView Ceme tery. Acts will be sung from "Rigo letto" and "Lucia," and the second part of the interesting programme will con sist of individual concert olos, all by members of the opera company who have made a gift of their services on this occasion. The orchestra, under the direction of l.uigi Ceechetti, will play two selections. It is hoped to raise about $700 by matinee concerts In this and other cities. Two large audiences heard "R!go letto" and "Carmen" at the Baker yes terday. PRINCIPALS TO BE HOSTS Mr. Alderman and Other Seliool Of ficials to Be Dined Friday.

N0V0CAINEJS UNDER BAN Harrison Drug Act Given Liberal Interpretation by Officials. Novocaine. a substitute for cocaine, as well as all other synthetic substi tutes for habit-forming drugs will come within the scope of the Harrison Drug Act, according to a ruling Just made by the Treasury Department.

Novocaine is used largely by dentists as a substitute for cocaine. The law, as passed, names opium or cocoa leaves and includes any compound, manufac ture, salt, derivative or preparation therefrom. Under a liberal interpreta tion of the word "derivative." the Treasury Department has decided that cocaine derivatives in question will be included, although until the question was determined. It was held that Novo caine and other similar preparations would not be included. In order to conform with the law, all persons handling or dispenhin these preparations must register and comply with all the terms of the law respecting the handling of narcotic drugs.
