,tp-1 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE. 2, 1901. S MADE IT THREE STRAIGHT PORTLAND SHUT OUT SEATTLE IN A SNAPPY GAME. Locals Scored Their Rubs In One Inning?, When Visitors Went to Pieces Brown's Circus Catches. Portland took her third straight same from Seattle before a. crowd of 1500 peo ple yesterday afternoon. To add to the agony the team from the Queen City was shut out, and at the close of the game had nine goose-eggs to her credit. Portland crossed the home plate three times, all In the last Inning. For eight Innings neither side scored, and excite ment was at a high pitch among the spectators. Brown, Portland's center flelder, fur nished the fireworks. He made two sen sational one-hand catches, and was the Idol of the bleachers. Jn the sixth inning Bodle was up first for Seattle, and was hit by the ball. Harmon was next to the bat, and knocked what seemed to be a perfectly sife hit between right and center field. Brown went after It, and almost paralyzed the spectators by reach ing up and catching It with his left hand. Bodle was so sure of the hit being safe that he was past second when the ball was caught. He was thrown out, and the double play stirred up enthus iasm to Its wildest pitch. In the next lnnmg Brown duplicated the feat by catching one with his right hand while running at a terrific pace. In-Ub'e ninth Seattle still failed to score. Vigrieaux was first to the bat for Port land, and was given his base on balls. He -stole second, and Anderson, who fol lowed him, made a base hit, and likewise stole second. Brown followed with an other hit, and "Vigneaux scored. Tinker go first on an error of First Baseman Hurley, which also allowed Anderson to score. Hurley made a bad matter worse by. a -wild throw to third, upon which Brown scored. This completed Portland's three runs, and the game was quickly ended. Following Is the score: SEATTLE. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

American Yacht Launched. MILWAUKEE, June L The yacht Orion, built for the purpose of defending the Canadian cup, was successfully launched today In the presence of 500 yachting enthusiasts. Watson Worried by Criticisms. NEW YORK, June 1. A dispatch to the World from Glasgow says: Designer Watson is greatly worried by criticisms passed on his workmanship on the Challenger. He told Sir Thomas Lip ton he did not place any value on the re sult of the trial races on the European side. He built the yacht with an eye to American sailing conditions, and nothing has happened to alter his judgment that she will prove the fastest challenger he ever sent across. Captain Sycamore expressed entire agreement with this view. He says If he and Watson had had their way the Challenger would have been taken across the Atlantic when she was launched to be tuned up there, but Lipton did not want this, as h!s only chance of getting the King as his guest was to have the Solent trials. They were accordingly arranged. Watson disapproved of them from the first. He blames the hurry with which the boat was fitted In order to bring them off. The accident and In different performances will cost Lipton another $35,000 to send Shamrock II to Sandy Hook, but expense never deterred him doing anything to assist In enabling him to lift the cup. "Will Not Defend nig Title. LONDON, June 1. Harry Vardon, the golf player, said today that he would not defend the title of champion of America at the forthcoming meeting at Boston. What Happened to Morgan. Richmond Dispatch. The worst thing that happened to Mor gan In the Wall-street scrimmage was the discovery of the fact that he Is not all-powerful and that his "interests" can be bulled, beared and squeezed like those of much humbler promoters.

IN THE PARIS LIBRARIES. An American Student on Conditions There. "I have read In the meager dispatches to Le Temps and Le Figaro of Mr. Carne gie's gift to New York," writes an Amer ican student In Paris to the New York Commercial Advertiser, "and have also heard something of the plans for the final consolidation of the dozen circulating libraries of the city into one magnificent Institution with a central home In Bryant Park. Perhaps it would be Interesting to hear of how we American students obtain reading matter from the libraries of Paris, and something about the institutions themselves. Manhattan Offers more books gratuitously to her people than Paris. "Here popular libraries do not seem to be so numerous. Whether they possess an equal -potentiality for good I cannot decide. They may be found in every ar rondissement, or ward, except In the first. They are open from 7 until 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, and for 15 hours dur the week days. You must pay by the month for the use of books, according to the library you wish to use; 50 centimes (10 cents) for men, and 25 centimes for women. They evidently think women are less impulsive page-turners. If you wish to use all the popular libraries In one month the charge is 20 and 10 cents. " I suppose these exasperating charges are to pay for the living of the lean bibllothe calres. The poor things get only about $150 a year. The city subsidizes each library of this kind to the munificent ex tent of $1 17 a day. "The Bibllotheque Nationale, on the Rue Richelieu, Is the most interesting library I have seen In Europe. It impresses by its 'loneliness quite as much as by Its antiquity. Few students visit it, though it is the largest In the world. Now and then a stray blackboard with historical propensities, or bosom cronies, amateurs, glide In to post themselves on the value of some wormy tome. Strangely enough I associate the library with the catacombs of Denfert-Rochereau; the 3,000,000 books seem to reek with history and forgot ten strains of mortality. Charles V. be gan the collection, and kindly-faced M. Dellsle guards today the treasures of the old Hotel Mazarln. The revolution sacked the convents of their printed learning to the profit of the collection, and the league long rows of volumes have lengthened with the years. It is interesting to know that French students study ardently to become custodians of -historic books. Even after their courses at the Ecole des Charles, where theypass a technical ex amination, they must wait nine years be fore they can be nominated as blbliothe qalres. To be a corfservateur they must wait for another 12;-years. But no one minds waiting In France. Why should one if he has no taste for the half-lights of the cabarets; if he has yards of rare Aides, Estienes and Elzevirs to finger; is there are musty vignette charters and diplomas. Bedouin manuscripts, Greek and Roman medallohs and priceless auto graphs of old conquerors with which to commune. "If I wish to stuy there amidst these half-hundred kilometers of wisdom I must first write for a card from the ad-' mlnstratlon, giving my address, the na ture of my work and my capacity as a student. Sometimes I wonder they don't ask me for the number of times I've crossed Brooklyn Bridge or if my mother's canary has a clean bill of health. I won der, too, if when Hennln de Luynes and de Janze poured their wealth Into these shelves they planned that I should pay In the little cloistered restaurant one cent for a serviette, two for bread, 10 for my rotl and 16 for my white wine. I often question why my appetite can be so knife-edged where the vibrations of history ring down the aisles and the thrill of France la grande rushes through my bones. "The Salnte Genevieve Library is much nearer us, in our Quartler Latin. When the sun is low in the south It throws the shadow of the tall Pantheon on the very , sills of Genevieve. What American does not love her more than the sainted Jean? The law school, where we fellows belong, is so close to this library that we often go there to escape the childishness of the first-year men. M. Ruelle, the librarian, likes us, too, because we let him talk in English. Students of law, medicine, math ematics and philosophy go there because the library "keeps up" on the new works on their subjects. Then there are fewer rules at St. Genevieve. You must only put your umbrellas In the right place, chain your bicycle In the vestibule and "defenser" to write In your book with a pencil (pens not forbidden). Sometimes we book lovers go over to the City of Paris Library to read Voltaire's letters, or to pore over the proces verbaux of the Commune. Then, too, there are 50,000 vol umes of the French Revolution to Interest on If he were Immortal and the weather constantly bad. "After all, the Parisians go to their arrondlsement collections for their ro mances, poetry, travel tales and for their music. It Is these places which 2,000,000 human souls visit every year for pleasure and instruction. I always feel that here the broad brain fields of France are har rowed and sown: that amidst Chateau briands, Pierre Lotls, Beaulleug and Saint. Saenses Is found the healthier, happier life; where the spirit of the new century abides and new hopes are cherished. In the gloom of the ancient stalls I can't help thinking of Schopenhauer and his helpless tachings." A Southern Oregon Mystery. About four miles below Ruch, on the Applegate, and 12 miles from Jackson ville, some 36 years ago lived a widow named Long, who was reputed quite wealthy, and her mysterious murder was the sensation for many weeks in South ern Oregon, says the Medford Enquirer. At the time of the tragedy the widow was engaged to be married to a young man working on the place, and the time set for the wedding only a few days off. She also had at the time of her murder employed upon the place a Chinaman, who helped with the housework when not otherwise occupied. As the story goes, on the evening of the day the murder was discovered, the widow and her betrothed the hired man were to attend a party In th neighborhood to which they had been invited. When supper time camp the hired man came in from the field, and was- surprised to find no signs of life about the house, no fire In the cookstove, and no supper. As the house had been left open, he saw that something was wrong, and com menced a search of the rooms. Upon en tering his bedroom, he saw where some one had wiped their bloody hands upon a white shirt which had been laid out for him to wear. Now thoroughly alarmed, he continued his search, and behind one of the tables In the storeroom found the mutilated body of his fiance cold in death, guarded by her faithful dog. In dications showed that a terrible struggle had taken place, the room being covered with blood, and in the struggle the flesh had been cut almost entirely from the hand with which she had grabbed the knife that gave her the death wound. From indications, the crime was 'Com mitted just after dinner. Both the hired man and the Chinaman were arrested and tried for murder, but were discharged, as there was no evidence upon which to con- DO YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

Mrs. Long It was known had a son, who at the time of the murder was supposed to be living In the East, but he never could be located, and In course of time the place fell to the grandmother of George E. Neuber, of Jacksonville, who was a distant relative of Mrs. Long. After his grandmother's death the place became the property of Mr. N.euber, who sold It to Thomas Kinney, and who two years ago Bold it to the Offenbacher brothers, the present owners. Now comes the strange story which re calls the tragedy of many years ago. One evening some two weeks ago, three men In a covered hack drove up to the residence of James O'Brien, whose place adjoins the "Long place." and whose house Is about a quarter of a mile from the old log house where the murder was committed, and Inquired of Mr. O'Brien If the place was for sale or rent. He told them It was not. After buying some milk of him, they drove on to the old house and camped. An old Chinaman who lives in the hojise relates that as soon as they had their supper, they measured the ground and commenced to dig, working until early dawn, when they uncovered an Iron box. which they took out, hitched up. their team about 5 o'clock and drove off, and so far no one has been able to learn where they went. What was In the box or where they received their Information for Its location Is a mystery, as well as the Identity of the three strangers. CAUSES GENERAL REGRET. Postponement of the Meeting of Ir rigation Congress. WASHINGTON, May 28. There is gen eral regret throughout the country that the Irrigation congress, which was to have held a session at Colorado Springs In. .July, has been postponed for a year because manSr persons who ehould at tend would not be able to do so, owing to other; meetings about the same time. The greatest reason for regret Is that these men, so profoundly Interested In the subject of Irrigation, will now have no opportunity of uniting upon some pol icy to be- laid before Congress at Its next session. In the Irrigation congress, as In the National Congress, there Is undoubt edly a diversity o opinion, some believ ing that Congress should be called upon to assist In this project, while others be lieve it Is a state function. It Is recognized that a matter of such great Importance could not be settled by a meeting of but a few representative men. It would be unjust to outline a policy under such circumstances, and, moreover, the results arrived at in that way would have little or no Influence be fore Congress. It should be understood, however, that the irrigation congress is not abandoned, but merely postponed. The Buffalo Exposition, where lrrlgatlon Ists are considerably Interested, has served in a great measure to Interfere this season. Evidence of this regret Is plain In Wash ington among the Government officials who are directly interested In the ad vancement of the irrigation movement. Both in the Geological Survey and In the Department of Agriculture, considerable disappointment Is expressed, but at the same time these officials suggest that, In asmuch as the question of making appro priations for storage reservoirs will come up next Winter in Congress, the people Interested should keep the matter con stantly before their Senators and Repre sentatives end impress upon them the need of Congressional assistance, or at least sanction, In this great work of de velopment. These officials also express the hope that the committees which are called upon o consider irrigation bills will take more speedy and hearty action In the next Congress than characterized their work In the last. Even if no final legislation is agreed upon, it Is believed the subject can be more comprehensively and more Intelligently studied than it was during the latter part of the last Con gress, when personalities and minor dif ferences absorbed most of the time, and no honest work or consideration' was al lowed. Folklore In the South. Charles W. Chestnutt In Modern Culture Mag azine. The stern frown of the preacher, who looks upon superstition as the ally of the evil one; the scornful sneer of the teach er, who sees In It a part of the livery of bondage, have driven this quaint com bination of ancestral traditions to the re mote chimney corners of old black aunties, from whicli it is difficult for the stranger to unearth them. Mr. Harris, In his Uncle Remus stories, has, with flno literary dis crimination, collected and put into pleas ing and enduring form the plantation stories which dealt with animal lore, but so little attention has been paid to those dealing with so-caned conjuration, that they seem In a fair way to disappear, without leaving a trace behind. The loss may not be very great, but these vanish ing traditions might furnish valuable data for the sociologist in the future study of racial development. In writing a few years ago, the volume entitled "The Con jure Woman," I suspect that I was more Influenced by the literary value of the ma terial than by its sociological bearing, and therefor took, or thought I did, con siderable liberty with my subject. Im againatlon, however, can only act upon data one must have somewhere In his consciousness the ideas which he puts to gether to form a connected whole. Cre ative talent, of whatever grade, is, In the last analysis, only the power of rear rangementthere is nothing new under the sun. I was the more firmly Im pressed with this thought after I had In terviewed half a dozen old women, and a genuine "conjure doctor"; for I discov ered that the brilliant touches, due, I had thought, to my own Imagination, were af ter all but dormant Ideas, lodged In my childish mind by old Aunt This and old Uncle That, and awaiting only the spur of Imagination to bring them again to the surface.

Of the hundreds of cases of asth ma, lnng troubles, rheumatism and catarrhal diseases treated and cared at the Copeland Institute dur ing the past ten years, under the Inexpensive system now so .popular Yvlth the community, statistics prove thnt the average time occupied in a cure, with patients beginning dur ing the Summer months, is from one third to one-half less than -with those beginning a course during the rigors of Winter.

Walker, 408 First Street, Portland, recently removed from Sauvle's Island, having resided In that section for 20 years: I would Most Heartily Recommend all sufferers from chronic disease to con sult the Copeland doctors. When I com menced treatment I was In a most wretch ed state of health. My sickness was brought on by ex posure and overwork, resulting In a se rious catarrhal trouble of the respiratory organs and digestive tract. My head was always stopped up, and phlegm dropping Mr. J. P. Walker, 408 First Street, Portland. from the head caused me to hawk and spit constantly. Colds, from which I was seldom free, aggravated all my symptoms and made life miserable. I had ringing and buzzing noises In the head and my hearing was dull, all sounds seeming muffled. The Worst Feature of the disease, however, was its effects upon the stomach and bowels. My stom ach grew gradually weaker until I could eat nothing at all without suffering ter ribly. Eve'n when the stomach was empty there was a soreness, extending clear across the body, and a feeling of dead weight In the stomach. After eat ing there was bloating, belching and gen eral distress, with a gurgling and gas in the bowels. I had lost 30 pounds and was good for nothing. I was tired and drowsy all the time and without any life or ambition. I took both patent medicines and medi cine prescribed by physicians, but nothing did me any good. The Copeland treat ment was very Highly Recommended by Friends, and I placed myself under the care of these doctors. Now I can add my praise to theirs, for I am again a well man. OTHER CURES.

The blood and sknx are so closely related that whatever affects one seriously interferes with the func tions of the other.

By the character of the sore we are enabled to determine the nature of the poison or humor m the blood, as every disease originating in the blood has its own peculiar sore or pimple. The skin is not only affected by the poisons generated in the system, but poisons from without enter through the open glands or pores and quickly infect the blood.
