BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Nothing which Emmerich Kalman
has composed transcends "Sari" in
Fweet, melodious lurings. Anyone with
an ear for sweet melodies is bound to
be delighted with the warm colorful
and appealing Hungarian operetta.
Before a big audience last night
at the Heilii?. Sari and Mizzl Hajos
ana J. X. Murray and Charles Meaklns
and Gretchen Hood Interpreted Kal
man's melodic music and It wove an
Irresistible spell.
It is not only splendid as regards its
music, which really approaches errand
opera's heights, but it is remarkable
for a combination of all the elements
that go Into the making: of a first
class musical work. It has a charac
teristic large ensemble. it includes
some well-known persons. It is gorge
ous In point of scenery and costumes
and It has Mizzi Hajos.
Star's Charm Extraordinary.
This little Hungarian prima donna
f deally incorporates the human galvanic
battery theory. In "Sari" she shows
more temperament, more vivacity, mora
penetrating humor and more musical
spirit than half a dozen comic opera
stars of the inevitable and expected
type all put together.
Mizzi lays claim to beauty. She is
dainty and petite. Her voice Is not
her greatest charm, but it is sweet,
clear In a little flute note and she
uses it with musical knowledge.
Mizzi dances delightfully and it's quite
worth while to stop listening to the
music awhile to 'fasten one's gaze on
the always moving saucy red heels and
red silken-clad ankles of Mizzi.
There's a certain charm and youthful
deviltry about this blonde little maid
from Hungary that cannot be defined.
"Sari" comes when we are Just ready
for a big, pretentious operetta. It is
new and modern, there is even a dis
tinctive plot which moves and has the
qualities of interest and suspense.
Stimulating; Mule Holds.
Always. however, tt ' is Kalman's
warm, vibrant, rhythmic musio that
holds. It is surcharged with the fir
, and variety characteristic of Hun
garian music, and its score sparkles
with piquant, stimulating, joyous tunes
of the worth-remembering sort.
Mizzi sings "Pick a Husband" while
a band of her merry stage brothers
and sisters group about her. She and
Charles Meakins, who plays the role of
her adorer Count Irini, have a merry
ditty called Hazaza accompanied by a
gay clicking of heels and terpsichorean
interpretations of its lines.
"There's no Place Like Home for
You," is another of Mlzzi's chanting
enchantments and her "Love's Own
Sweet Song," sung with Mr. Meakins,
is one of the musical delights of the
score.
Gretchen Hood, who Is young In
years and stage life. Is an attractive
Southern girl, the daughter of a news
paper man In Washington, D. C. She
has a lovely fresh soprano voice and
sings the role of Juliska, a gypsy
maid, with joyous fervor.
Murray's Voice Is Delight.
A forceful and distinctive artist Is J.
K. Murray, who is actor as well as
singer. He is a rare delight. His bari
tone voice is of rich, pleasing quality
and his stage presence vigorous and
picturesque.
H. W. Marsh, as Laczl, has an ex
cellent tenor voice which he displays
admirably In "Love Has Wings."
Portlanders who went .to see the
operas in '86, '87 and '88 recall Jack
Murray. He was with Jennie "Win
ston's (Carleton) Opera Company and
played a 16-week engagement in '86 at
the New Park Theater In operas.
In "Sari," Mr. Murray makes two
very fine impressions, once when sing
ing "Marry Me" and later in "My Faith
ful Stradivari."
Charles Meaklns, of "Merry "Widow"
memory, dances and sings, but not
enough to please his followers, and
Bert Gilbert as a tutor who doesn't toot
affords the only real comedy high
lights.
The costumes are fresh and fine. In
the first act they follow the colorful
gypsy type and in the second act they
are animated futurist posters. The
girls in the company are young and
lovely, and collectively they sing beau
tifully. An orchestra of 18 pieces interprets
the wonderful orchestration and when
' It's all over the part that clings longest
and fondest is vivacious little Mizzi
gurgling and making faces and the
haunting refrains of the music.
The engagement ends Wednesday
night. There is a matinee Wednesday
afternoon.
EARLY RESIDENT IS DEAD
Patrick O'Xell Keegan Passes at
Mother's Home at Age of 55.
Patrick O'Neil Keegan, SS years old,
died last night at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Eliza Keegan. 413 Couch
'street- Mr. Keegan had been a resi
dent of Portland since 1877. and served
on the police force, as a naval reservist
and was a lieutenant In the Emmet
Guards, the first organization of the
Oregon State Militia.
Mr. Keegan is survived by his mother
and a brother, John Keegan, also of
Portland.
Two Injured by Runaway.
A milkwagon, said to have been
drawn by two runaway horses, collided
with an automobile at East Seventy
second street and Sandy boulevard
last night, injured two persons in the
"Automobile and stripped the body of
tbVx machine from the frame.
The injured are: Mrs. Norah Carroll,
325 Mason street, two of whose ribs
probably were broken and Mrs. Car
roll's son-in-law, Charles W. Howard,
driver of the machine, whose - legs
were brwrsed. Both were taken home
by the Ambulance Service Company.

EDITORIAL
The University of Oreg-on has
recently taken two important
forward steps which The Craw
fish feels should be given Its
emphatic Indorsement and ap
proval, inasmuch as the editor
spent a portion of his career at
that institution before- he leaped
forth with the lUlO crop of
graduates to conquer the world,
which pursuit he has been fol
lowing: with more or less success
for tne past four years. We
might remark, in paaslng:, that
our progress toward the conquer
ing of the world has closely
paralleled, in its salient features,
the recent conquest of East Po
land and Gallcla by the Kuaslaa
army.
To return to the subject of
our editorial, however, we un
derstand that the authorities at
the University have issued an
edict that the students shall
hold dances at intervals some
what less frequent than six even
Ins' per week, as has been tfte
traditional custom for many
years past. Secondly, they are
mobilizing with all possible rap
idity to fall upon and abolish
the system of intercollegiate
athletics, after which they will
need only -to become prominent
in the movement for universal
peace, to lift themselves to a
position of keen rivalry with
Keed College.
We admit that the two steps
first mentioned, one of which Is
already taken and one of which
is contemplated. will greatly
modify the atmosphere of the
dear old college halls and d. o.
c. campus, but nevertheless we
want to give our emphatic in
dorsement to both moves. We
have spoken with Herb. Camp
bell and Ned Blythe. of our est.
contemp.. The Oregonian, and
they agree with us heartily.
We are unanimous in our In
dorsement of these moves, be
cause we feel that It opens up
a field of unparalleled opportu
nity for the alumni of the d. u.
alma mater.
For in future years It will
make it possible for us alumni
to go back to those d. o. c. halls
and borrow a. pipeful of tobacco
from some of the younger gen
eration, and spread ourselves
out over the porch of some one
of tbe houses and tell them
what mad wags we were in our
own d. o. c. days, and how much
bolder and more rlotious was the
path we trod and how much
more luxuriant the primroses

to sit and take the gaff, for
they won't have, so to speak,
any opening for a come-back.

Alaskan Indians are adopting the mar
velous civilization of the American
people.
"Wherever crowds of Americans
have settled in Alaska, the Christian
church has followed. And the church,
extending Its work among the Indians,
has set their face towards civilization
during the past 40 years, and assured
their regeneration.
"Awakened from their primitive,
purposeless existence by the gospel,
the Indians felt the need of Americans
to Instruct and educate them. The

has established schools in Alaska
wherever they are needed.

people are more workers to spread tbe

OU HISTORIC SPOT
Serviceseld Out-of-Doors at
Locked Church at Third
and Taylor Streets.
MINISTER, 97, GIVES TALK
Hymns Which Rang From Hearty
Throats in. Homespun Days Are
Sang by Same Folk Attired
in Finest Broadcloth.
On the site where 60 years and. more
ago they worshiped, pioneers of Oregon
yesterday morning held solemn service
In front of the old Taylor-Street Metho
dist Church, Third and Taylor street.
The doors of the church have been
closed for some time, since the merging
of the old Taylor-Street and the Grace
churches into the First Methodist
Church, but the assembly yesterday
was in reality non-sectarian, and more
iii commemoration of the early and
rugged, religious days of worship in
Oregon.
There were many notables In the
open-air congregation. They sang the
old-time songs songs which have
long since lapsed into desuetude, but
which rang out with peculiar impres
siveness from the throats of aging
menand women whose , memory went
back to the younger days at the old
corner. The site on which the church
stands was the first public worship
center of Portland, and it was recalled
by many of those present that the
worship yesterday in many respects
differed little from the early-day serv
ices the difference being largely that
wrought by Father Time and Dame
Fashion. Men who knelt In prayer In
homespun 60 years ago, knelt in broad
cloth yesterday.
The service was a flttting aftermath
to the pioneer's annual session in Port
land last week, and Rev. John B. Cul
len, a pioneer of 1847, was one of the
first to speak yesterday. He Is the son
of -the late Mrs. Otila DeWitt and he
now lives In San Jose, Cal. He is also
a veteran of the Indian wars.
Rev. Mr. Cullen, who Is bent with
87 years of age. struck a plaintiff
note when he referred to "preaching
often in God s big out-of-doors because
there were no churches, but it is a
new experience to preach in the' open
air when the church is here but the
doors locked."
Rev. Mr. Cullen singularly, was
ordained a Methodist minister on the
identical spot where he preached yes
terday, and the closing of the church
was explained to him,
Mr. Cullen told how the first Metho
dist Church was built In the early days
when Rev. Mr. Wilbur, then In charge
of the work, called on all settlers to
help build the structure. The work
of saloonkeepers, gamblers and every
ciass was joineo. witn tnat of the
rugged and orthodox believers In erect
ing the edifice.
Rev. Mr. Cullen recalled, much to the
satisfaction of the younger as well as
Showing the value
of a view from the
sidelines.

, to Advocate Hood Hiskmy.
"I am glad that this organization Is
bo much interested in county affairs
as to invite a representative of the
county government to talk to its mem
bers on the problems that nave to be
met and solved in the administration of
county affairs," said County Commis
sioner Rufus Holman in an address yes
terday before the Current Events Club
of Westminster Presbyterian Church.
His topic was "Problems of the County
Government." Mr. Holman was intro
duced as a man deeply - interested in
county affairs, efficiency in administra
tion and the development of a compre
hensive system of roads and highways
in this county.
In opening his address Mr. Holman
said that for the present year the re
sponsibilities of the Commissioners
were very great, as they had to handle
$4,000,000 of the money of the taxpayers
in an economical manner. He reviewed
the progress that had" been made within
the past few years in county efficiency
and county system.
"I consider it highly important that
all citizens should interest themselves
in county affairs." said Mr. Holman
"and hence I am glad to talk to this
organization.
"We have made great progress, espe
cially in our county farm at Troutdale.
"You are all familiar with the Co
lumbia River Highway, and yet it was
not easy to build. I am looking for
ward to a comprehensive system of
roads and highways in Multnomah and
Washington counties that will restore
many of the obsolete roads. I have
been In correspondence with the United
States forestry service, and, with the
co-operation of that department, we
shall restore many of the old roads.
"Another highly Important highway,
to my mind, is the connection of the
Barlow road around the south side of
Mount Hood Into the Hood River Valley.
This will be a scenic road of great
value. We must take into consideration
the tourist travel. Like Switzerland
which derives her greatest revenue from
the tourists, Oregon, with tis snow
capped mountains, its forests and val
leys, may also attract the tourists by
the construction of a comprehensive
system of public highways making these
picturesque sections available. I am
especially anxious that this through
road to Hood River Valley be built
for Its tremendous scenic and commer
cial value.
"And now I have gone over these
matters hastily. I hope your interest
will not stop here today, but will con
tinue at all times, and that you will co
operate and support the county admin
istration in handling these problems. I
am sure you can and will help us."
On motion a resolution was ador-ted
commending the plan to construct a
highway into Hood River Valley. It
was the sense of tne meeting that it
would be an Improvement of great im
portance to Multnomah County and the
State of Oregon.
Sermon Thoughts From
Portland Churches.
.tfJOD'S Way in Tour Development"
. VI was the topic ofthe sermon yes
terday morning by .Rev. J. J. Staub,
pastor of Sunnyslde Congregational
Church, from the text: "As an eagle
stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over
her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, taketh them, beareth them on
her wings so the Lord alone did lead
him."
"This text," said Dr. Staub, "Is a
fine example of Hebrew pictorial
language and typifies the providen
tial care which God exercises toward
his own. It declares the persistent
and manifold leadership of God in the
nves of his people. His divine life In
them is symbolized by the attitude of
the domain in which the eagle Uvea
God's children are in the world, but
not of it. The best of human re
search is the acquisition of the
knowledge of God, whom to know is
life eternal. In all God's providences
ne aims to bring us to a realization
of his destiny for us. He disturbs
the nests of our temporal and ma
terial satisfaction and urges us to
place the emphasis of life upon the
spiritual and the eternal."
"It is easier to criticise than to
That's just exactly the reason I am
making this desperate effort to stay
in business. I have every confidence
that we are -entering upon an era of
good, prosperous times, but unfor
tunately for me, personally, stock
holders in my firm had to have their
money now, compelling me to throw
our large stock of standard pianos
and player pianos on the market at
practically cost, - and some at even
below cost. I say this to the public
with all sincerity and prospective
piano buyers will find it well worth
their while to investigate my proposi
tion now.
I have got to raise money and $40,-
000, while not a large sum to some
people, it is hard to raise it on very
short notice considering the depres
sion I have just passed through. I
want to say frankly to the good pub
lic that your money will go farther
toward the purchase of a standard
make piano, or player piano, with me
at this time than you can receive
anywhere on the Pacific Coast, tak
ing quality into consideration.
This house has always been a house
of quality, and your personal visit
will convince you of the truth of this
statement.
I have Sohmer pianos and player
pianos, which are world renowned;
Behning pianos and player pianos,
known everywhere to be of the high
est quality. I have the great M.
Schulz Company product: the well-
known Chase & Baker, the Strohber,
the Bennett and many others. Surely,

This statement, made last night by Rev.
W. O. Shank, was a part of his sermon
on the topic "Love Thy Neighbor as
Thyself, Is Significant Today."
Who is our neighbor? jnoi merely
the man in the immediate neighbor
hood, but anyone with whom we may
come in contact," said Dr. Shank.
"If this commandment. Love thy
neighbor as thyself.' were obeyed." de
clared the pastor, "the war question.
the labor question, the social question
and the religious question would all be
settled."
Rev. John N. MillB, D. D., of Wash
ington, D. C, who occupied 'the pulpit
of the First Presbyterian Church yes
terday morning, had Just returned from
a trip around the world and during his
Journeyings he had visited many mis
sions. An outline of the importance of
the work done by missions formed the
theme of the 'address. "The mission
arles have been the foresinners of
commerce in all foreign fields," said
Dr. Mills. "They have done a great
work not only along religious lines but
as ar incentive for great commercial
enterprises. They have more than re
paid this country for all the money
the American Doaras nave spent upon
them."
Dr. Mills stated that it was through
from, this large stock you will find
something that will please you.
My prices on good standard pianos,
brand-new, range from $145 up. My
prices on good standard, new player
pianos range from $250 up, including
music. I have a number of old, but
good, pianos, splendid buys for be
ginners, such as Steinway, Kimball,
Chickering, etc., ranging in prices
from $65.00 to $105. I have a brand
new Knabe, the style offered in New
York warerooms at $625, which I will
sell for $350.
Of course, these are cash prices, as
cash is the first consideration with
me at this present time, but I have
made arrangements with my bankers
whereby you may select the piano you
desire to own and for a small addi
tional sum you may have, say, 20
months in which to pay for it.
I am making this personal appeal
to induce those who can afford to pay
cash and those who can pay a good,
substantial first payment down to call
on me in person and I will guarantee
that you will find each and every
piano as above advertised and that the
prices I am making are a positive
saving to you of $100 to $200 on the
regular line. If you will call I will
show you one of the largest and most
complete assortments of high-grade
instruments you have ever viewed.

"It is not in the power of Satan to
draw any man into sin without his
own consent," said Dr. T. W. Lane,
pastor of Centenary Methodist Church,
in his sermon yesterday morning.
Throughout the address the pastor
made many epigrammatic statements, a
few of which follow:
"Most men work harder to hide their
sin than to put it away. How much
easier to repent of it all and let the
sin-bearer take it away forever."
"It is no sini to fail if you have done
your best to succeed."
"The best remedy for small faith is
more faith. The best way to triumph
over life's difficulties is to get more
abundant life."
"Man was not made for a solitary,
but for a social life, and to commune
with God."

Florence, So. Dakota. "I used to be
very sick every month with bearing
down pains and
backache, and had
headache a good
deal of the time and
very little appetite.
The pains were so
bad that I used to
sit right down on the
floor and cry, be
cause it hurt me bo
and I could not do
any work at those
times. An old wo
man advised me to try Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and I got &
bottle. I felt better the next month so
I took three more bottles of it and got
well so I could work all the time. I
hope every woman who suffers like I did
will try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. P.W.Lanseng, Box
8, Allyn, Wash.

health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound?
