CITY NEWS IN BRIEF

:ORDRA.TS THEATER (Washington st.)
"Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Bubiness and Baseball. There Is every
likelihood that a match game of baseball
between the traveling passenger agents
and the commercial traveling men 'will
soon come off. The latter are certain that
they can defeat the former, and the former
are just as certain that they cannot. The
railroad men, actuated by a desire to
benefit Portland and show their loyalty,
have agreed to meet the commercial trav
elers under certain conditions. If the
traveling men will agree to hold the an
nual meeting of the Commercial Travelers'
Association In Portland this Summer, the
railroad men will gladly cross bats with
them. To further this matter, some of the
jobbers have heartily taken the matter up.
As things appear now. the great game will
occur sometime In June. "When all the
preliminaries have been arranged the dato
will be publicly announced in the newspa
pers. If the convention is secured for
Portland, It will be held, probably, the lat
ter part of the Summer.
Colonel Fife to Go North. Friends of
Colonel Fife, late of the First "Washington
Volunteers, will bo Interested to know that
he and his father are preparing to go to
Cape Nome among tho first to go north
this Spring. He sails on the Senator May
19. Among the members of the Second
Oregon Volunteers, as well as numerous
other persons residing In Portland. Colonel
Fife Is -well remembered. In Manila he
was -always and consistently a friend to
the Oregon boys, of course, -without im
peaching his fidelity to the men of his
own command. He was among the very
first on every occasion to compliment the
Oregon men for doing faithful and excel
lent work, and when the regiment was or
dered to embark for home. Colonel Fife's
letter of congratulations and regret was
one of the most friendly epistles received
by General Summers.
Mcltnomah Registration. Yesterday
was a record-breaking day at the registra
tion office, 315 being added to the list, mak
ing a total for Multnomah County of 15,336.
The average number registered per day
during the week was about 240. Though
the total last night was about 97 per cent
of the vote for Governor in 1SS8. it Is still
3000 less than the Presidential vote of 1S?C.
and probably 4000 less than the actual
number of male adults entitled to vote at
this time. The registration officers are of
the opinion that this week's work will be
the heaviest since the office opened, and
expect at least 300 a day from tomorrow
Until the books close, May 15.
There Is only one insurance against tho
discomforts of hot weather a gas range.
It also insures best results in all cooking.
Tour meats are done a little better than is
possible with any othei- stove. Delicacies
may be had in Summer that it is a burden
even to think of making on an ordinary
cook stove. A gas range properly used is a
positive economy. Miss Suzy Tracy, the
cooking teacher, who is with us this sea
eon, will instruct each purchaser of a gas
range in its proper use "We will show a
new lino of gas ranges this week. Port
land Gas Co., 174 Fifth street, opposite
Postofllce.

Snake Show Closed. A revolting
snake-eating show, which drew crowds on
Third street for several days last week,
was closed yesterday by the Chief of Po
lice, who visited the place and found sev
eral boys and girls there who had been In
veigled out of their dime each, the price of
admission. A man dressed in female at
tire was In the midst of a lot of living
snakes of all sizes, and every once in a
while this individual would seize a snake,
bite its head off and devour the reptile.
This edifying sight was what the children
had paid their dimes for, and the Chief
could see no good In it. The outfit had
evidently made considerable money during
the time the show was permitted to run.
A number of adults who took it in com
plained of a nausea on their egress, and
this sickness at the stomach saved them
the trouble of eating several meals after
ward. !
Nome Citts Capacity Increased. The
presure for space on outgoing vessels from
Portland destined for Cape Nome contin
ues unabated. The Nome City, the fine new
passenger steamer built for the California
& Oregon Coast Steamship Company espe
cially for Alaskan business, originally had
space for 400 passengers. Demands for
her space have been eo mat that tlv com
pany has been compelled to increase her
accommodations and provide for 22 moro
passengers. As the vessel clears' from
Portland, May 24, she will be fully loaded
She will make four round trips during
the season. The present outlook is excel
lent for a full passenger list for each trip.
The Nome City's dates of sailing from
Portland are May 24, July L August 3,
September 10. It requires about 12 days to
reach Cape Nome from Portland.
The matter of selecting fixtures when
building a new home is often left to the
last, and then the great trouble and incon
venience of finding Just what is wanted is
experienced. This can now be overcome
by calling on the Portland Gas Company,
who carry a full stock always on hand
and can fill all orders on short notice. The
Gas Company's stock is most complete in
every detail, containing all grades and
prices, as a visit to their showrooms will
find on display all of this season's latest
creations In fixtures and glassware. 172
and 174 Fifth street.
False Alarm. Several involuntary tap3
of tho big fire bell, accompanied by the
toot of the fire whistles at the Burnside
street bridge and at Alblna startled Port
land people yesterday afternoon, and they
paused to count the succeeding strokes,
but none were sounded. The secret of the
false alarms was that the City Electrician
was fixinc- several burned-out fnsn -trim
on the East Side and In Alblna. These
wires were destroyed during the thunder
storm Friday eenlng.
Earlt Closing Association. An enthu
siastic meeting of over 400 salespeople from
