THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JULY 21, 1901.
WILL NEVER GIVE UP
BOERS CAX RESIST ALL THE TOWER
OF EXGLASD.
.Jlo Declares Commandant Jan Krlge
Tlielr Cause Far From
Hopeless.
The Boers had an Inning last night at
the (Marquam. Commandant Jan Krlge,
of the Boer Army, spoke two hours be
fore an attentive audience. He set forth
the cause of his people in. a forceful and
well-sustained manner, and, although his
remarks had more of feeling and prejudice
In them than logic, he touched the sym
pathies of his auditors so effectively that
they responded with frequent applause.
Commandant Krlge is a type of his race.
JHe Is above average height, has square
shoulders, is heavy set, and has all the
characteristics of his sturdy people, in
cluding a name whose meaning he lives
up to in his pugnacity against the Eng
lish. He talks with a slight foreign ac
cent, which does not mar the intelligibil
ity of his words, except a little when he
gets worked up. He is an unusually
fluent talker in English for a man whose
vernacular is in another tongue. His
speech is much more rapid than that of
most platform orators. He seemed per
fectly at? home on the stage, and his words
flowed rapidly, but frequently could not
keep up with his Ideas. As Is natural, he
is endowed with unmeasured- enmity
against the British. This gives him an
I impassioned flow of invective.
In the absence of Mayor Howe, who was
tEaid to have been unavoidably called
away, T. C. Devlin presided. Three others
of the choice Boer sympathizers in Port
land, Dr. A. C. Smith, Dr. Harry Iane
end Dr. Joseph Hlckey, made the evening
bo far a gala occasion as to grace chairs
on the stage. The hearers were tfeder
hearted from the first words of Mr. Devlin,
.and after he had stirred them up with a
! gentle introductory speech, the Boer sol
dier took the audience In hand.
All seats in the theater were occupied,
and a fair-sized overflow crowd stood
'under the balconies and In the aisles. The
"Imudience was thoroughly democratic, and
considered rather the sentimental side
rof the war fhan the actual. The speaker
'told bow the Boers had gained many
striking victories over their enemy, but
offered no explanation how his people
'"would get out of their present sore straits,
leVcept'tb declare that they "would do it
I in" the end. He made Britain out to be
. bullying nation, whose bluster finally
iwould be overcome by the pluck of the
IJDutch and by Divine intervention. The
English had expected an easy victory over
the Eoeis, a victory which they are now
"trying to win by garbled and sinister re
sports. The speaker advised his hearers
tto believe no tales sent out from South
JlAfrica about the clean sweep the English
iare making. General Dewet and Presi
dent Steyne, he declared, have sworn to
ilght while they have a single man left.
'He laid particular stress on British greed,
Saying that the great motive of the Brit
ish is desire to possess the gold and dia
mond mines. His description of British
fighting as a war waged against women
and children often moved his audience.
A Nation of Patriots.
The speaker depicted the Boers as a
nation of patriots fighting against over
whelming odds, but the hand of God
would smite the enemy in the end. He.
frequently appealed to the sentiment and
prejudice of his hearers, drew effective
comparisons between the struggling
Dutch and the American Colonial patriots,
and painted the British soldiers as an
aggregation of cowards; that is, those of
Jthem who are against the Boers, for 50
per cent of the English soldiers feel for
jttft Dutch. Joseph. Chamberlain and Sir
Alfred Mllner were characterized so
dramatically that they almost had horns.
--fiHe- worked his hearers up very success
fully., so that when he was half done the
chairman saw his opportunity to have
the hat passed around for a collection,
herewith to pay for the rent of the
jheater.
The speaker declared that the govern
ment of the two republics was satisfac
tory to all citizens. There was no dis
crimination, and all persons could become
-citizens in seven years. Jews and Cath
olics, he said, strongly upheld the gov
ernments of the republics. President
Kruger even consecrated a synagogue of
pthe Jews at Johannesburg, and he did
it in the name of Jesus Christ.
The speaker did not expect Interven
tion by any foreign power. He said he
is confident of aid from the English tax
Ipayer. In conclusion he said in substance:
"England has never forgotten the les
son taught by George Washington. She
has never fought white races since beaten
toy George Washington 120 years ago. As
South Africa will bo the graveyard of
British arrogance, so It may sound the
death-knell of the British Empire. Ensr-
LJand cannot give up and must fight. If
sne gives up, India will bo next to re
volt. England's fate hangs in the bal
ance. But the Boers will fight to the
hitter end, and will win. The British flag
is nothing but a commercial asset. Gen
eral Dewet stands with George Washing
ton and their fame will live together.
The Boers expect the assistance of Amer
ica after they have won back their lib
erty, to help build their homes. Thev will
purely win tneir salvation, and some day
will shake hands with this nation, 10,000
onlles across the sea."
,'THE CAUSE AND THE MAN
Bryan Has Been the Main Stay of a
j Rank Absurdity.
Chicago Chronicle (Dem).
Mr- Bryan does himself an injustice in
Suggesting that the cause embodied in the
Chicago and Kansas City platforms should
not be made to suffer on account of the
sins of an Individual, meaning himself.
The cause has not suffered as a result of
Many shortcomings on the part of Mr.
Bryan. On the contrary, the cause has
gained not a little by reason of his identi
fication with it The cause has been re
ipudiated by the Democrats of Ohio and
will be repudiated by the Democrats of
frother states not because of any sins com
mitted by Mr. Bryan but In spite ot all
the personal virtues that he brought to Us
I support. The sins of the cause are noto
rious, and not even the honesty, sincerity
and ability of Its chief defender can save
it from condemnation.
With any other Populist, Socialist or Sti
ver Republican who can be named In the
position that Mr. Bryan gained in Chica
go in 1896, the whole preposterous move
ment for a descent to the silver basis
would have fallen Jnto disgrace and chaos
long before It did. He is the one man in
the whole category under whose leader
ship two campaigns In defense of a dem
onstrated error were possible.
This being the case, no self-abnegation
on the part of the late candidate is called
lor. So far as the movement ever had
respectability or plausibility or a possi
bility of success the fact was due to him
and to nobody else. With Teller or Towne
or Pettlgrew or Tillman or Bland or Wea
ver or Davis or Williams in the lead the
Eearlousness of the enterprise would hard
ly have survived one campaign.
It is well to take this fact Into account,
lor it shows how prodigiously a bad cause
may be advanced by a good man and how
Seat is the responsibility of a political"
ider who takes up lightly the vagaries of
the ignorant and selfish.
Mr. Bryan's honesty and candor, his
great ability as an advocate, his unques
tioned sincerity and singleness of purpose
and his tremendous zeal and energy were
fully recognized in the remarkable fact
that a cause already discredited was by
him galvanized Into new life and, though
defeated and again discredited by the so
ber judgment of the people, was neverthe
less uproariously paraded for four years
In Its grave clothes and through another
disastrous campaign. Nobody else could
have done It.
In continuing his embrace of this body
of death Mr. Bryan identifies himself 80
closely -with It that the rejection of the
one involves the rejection of the other. He
is the victim, however. The cause was
not worth the sacrifice.
TENNIS THIS WEEK.
Some of the Best Players in Pacific
Xortlwcst Will Be Here.
Though the entry list for the approach
ing championship tenls tournament has
not been closed, a sufficient number of
entries has been received to Insure a suc
cessful tournament. All the prominent
local players have entered, together with
an unusual number of out-of-town play
ers. The outside players who have sig
nified their intention of trying for the at
tractive prizes and alluring titles are as
follows: A. T. Goward and Pooley, from
Victoria, B. C; William L. Myers and
Sydney L. Brunn, from Seattle; M. C.
Cheal, from Tacoma; Jay Weatherwax
and Ray Sherwood, from Aberdeen,
Wash.; Walter Wood and Jordan, from
San Francisco.
Of these, A. T. Goward Is the best
known. He is a veteran at the game,
and, with J. F. Foulkes as a partner,
won the men's doubles and the Pacific
Northwest championship last year at Ta
coma, defeating Freeman and Newton,
6-3, 6-1, 6-2. In the singles he was de-.
feated by J. F. Foulkes In the semifinal
round, 6-3, 6-1, 6-2, after having won from
G. A. Hurd, this year's champion, of Se
attle, 7-5, 6-4. 11-9.
S. Ii. Bunn Is an unknown player on
the Portland courts, but. he is known to
be a racketwlelder of no mean ability,
having reached the final round In the
Vaeth handicap tournament last year at
Tacoma, where he was defeated by R.
G. Breeze, 6-3, 8-6. W. L. Myers was
also defeated In the same event by
Breeze, 6-2, 6-1.
M. C. Cheal is one of the best -players
Portland ever had. With the increased
experience derived from playing against
Tacoma's best players, he will be a for
midable factor In the singles. Those who
remember his match In last year's tourna.
ment against Carll D. Lewis, by. whom
he was defeated, 6-3, 7-9, 7-5, in the pretti
est contest of the year, are hoping for
nothing better than to see these two rivals
cross racquets again.
Of the men from San Francisco and
Gray's Harbor nothing is known, but It
Is not improbable that they may prove
dark horses of winning ability. The local
players are too well known to need special
mention. In Goss, Lewis and Wickersham
the home players feel they have worthy
representatives who will permit the tro
phies to be taken outside of the state
only after a contest worth coming miles
to see. The drawings will be made Mon
day, when the experts will be better able
to size up the situation and make predic
tions as to the probable outcome.
A FRIEND OF ANIMALS.
Nctt Method of Missionary Work
Anions Drivers.
Mrs. Evelyn W. Murray, whose crusade
against cruel drivers has caused her con
siderable notoriety, has evolved a new
scheme for the alleviation of the suffering
of her friends, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. She has had several
teamsters arrested lately for cruelty, but
the cases have fallen through because of
her inability to produce sufficient evidence
to offset the denials of the prisoners.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Murray had
John Reynolds, a driver for Patrick H.
Kehon, arrested. She said that the pris
oner was cruelly beating his team in front
of .her residence, 390 West End avenue,
When taken into custody Reynolds told
his accuser that his wife was at the point
of death, and If he failed to go home at
night by reason of being locked up he was
feaTful lest the shock, kill her. This
moved Mrs. Murray to compassion, and
sho bailed .the prisoner out. When he ap
peared before Magistrate Meade In the
West Side Police Court this morning Mrs.
Murray refused to prosecute because of
this fact, and. assuming the functions of
a judge, stood before the bar and gave
the prisoner a lecture on the proper treat
ment of horses.
"Never whip the poor beasts," she said,
pointing her finger at the defendant and
coming In dangerous proximity to his nose,
down which tears and perspiration were
trickling. "Be kind to your horses al
ways. A man who whips poor dumb brutes
Is a beast and will never go to heaven."
"1 never dia whip the hosses an I'll
never do it again," whimpered Reynolds,
who was palpably flustered by the tongue
lashing which his fair accuser was admin
istering. "This man Is thoroughly penitent," said
Mrs. Murray to the magistrate, "and I
think that if he Is discharged he will do
missionary work among the other drivers
on behalf of the horses."
"Humph," muttered the magistrate.
Mrs. Murray said that there were four
drivers altogether, and they did not com
mence to whip their horses until they es
pied her. Then she said they used their
whips to tantalize her.
"I've got a new way to get resting spells
for poor, overworked horses this hot
weather." said Mrs. Murray, "after she
had secured the release of the prisoner
whose arrest she had caused. "I just ride
around in my automobile and when I see
a horse that is fagged out I stop the
driver, chat with him nicely for a few
minutes 4and then give him 25 cents to go
and get a glass of Ice cream soda.
"Of course they always go to some sa
loon and buy beer Instead of getting soda,
Plan
but the horses get a little rest while they
are drlnkjng, and that Is what I am
after."
As she was leaving the courtroom Mrs.
Hurray had a long talk wjth Reynolds
about the missionary work which she got
him to promise to do among other team
sters. She invited him to call upon her
and said that if he would conduct an
active campaign against cruelty she would
meet any expense that he underwent.

A NEW FLOATING BATH
INVENTION OF MONTAVIIAA MAN,
WHO OFFERS IT FREE.
Smokestack to Bend Aronnd tor
Sills to Heat and Buoy the
Structure Novel Device.
FOR FREE SWIMMING BATHS.

Total $30 00
M. W. Wilkins, who lives at Monta-
villa, has Invented a new bath-house,
for which he is about to apply for a pat
ent, but he is willing to let the city have
the benefit of his design In providing free
bath accommodations for the public if it
shall desire to do so. The Illustration
contemplates a floating bath-house 20x60
feet, having a capacity for eight feet
of water or any less depth that may be
desired. The bottom may be raised or
let down to govern the depth of water.
An iron pipe three feet in diameter Is to
constitute the sill of the structure, and
M. W. Wilkins, Inventor o Float
ing Bath-House.
give It buoyancy. It will start from a
furnace in one end ot the building, from
which it will convey smoke and heated
air entirely around the bath-house, warm
ing the water to an agreeable temper-
ature and also the air of the interior of
the building. After traversing the entire
circuit the smoke will pass up and out
of the smokestack. It Is simply bending
the smokestack around so that It serves
as sills for the building before ejecting
the gases from the furnace. This pipe Is
to be entirely within the swimming basin,
so none of the heat will be wasted.
The plan Is to have the water enter
the pool at the end near the furnace,
where a coll of hot pipes will temper it
Immediately. The escape gate Is at the
opposite end, and the water may be held
as long as desired before renewing the
bath, thus giving the power to regulate
the temperature of the bath. Over the
heating pipe or sill is to be a board walk
four feet wide. On what may be described
as the second floor will be the dressing
rooms, and in the size of house here con
templated there will be 36 of these. The
entire frame is to be of iron pipe of suit
able size. The covering may be of either
wood or canvas. The estimated cost of
the, structure completely equipped for
service is $2500. The furnace Is expected
toVconsume about two cords of wood In
24 hours. " -
Mr. Wilkins offers his invention free
for use of the city or to any who shall
provide free public baths. He suggests
that the institution be operated free dur
ing certain hours of the day, and that
at other times a small charge be made to
patrons, thus making the concern pay a
part or the whole of Its expenses, and at
the same time reserving the essential
features of a free bath to those who most
need the privilege.
EAST SIDE NEWS.
Trcniont Poitofuce and Hnp-cn's Store
Destroyed By Fire.
The postoffice building at Tremont. just
east of Woodstock, owned by J. Hagen,
was destroyed by fire early yesterday
morning. Postmaster Hagen and family
were awakened by the flames. The family
saved most of the furniture, but the
building and the mall and the grocery
stock were a total loss. Mr. Hagen erected
the building about a year ago. The loss
on building and contents Is estimated at
$3000: Insurance small. The origin of the
fire Is not known.
Recommended for Sewer Inspector.
The Central Albina Sub-Board of Trade
voted Friday evening to ask the Board ot
Public Works to appoint J. C. Miller as
Inspector to represent the property-owners
in the construction of the Beech
street sewer. He will be paid out of sewer
funds. Mr. Miller's appointment has the
approval of City Engineer Chase. The.
contract Is one of the largest let on the
East Side for several years. It calls for
an expenditure of $54,000.
The committee on latoral sewers re-
of Floating Swimming
ported that it would not be advisable to
put laterals in alleys. On the widening of
Vancouver avenue the committee reported
that the avenue has been mapped and the
property-owners listed. The committee
went over the portion to be widened,
and found that very few houses will have
to be moved. The majority of the property-owners
favor the Improvement. It
was found that the avenue Is 68 feet wide
near Morris street, and 3S feet wide near
Alberta street. In some places only one
foot on each side will be required.
The condition of Mississippi avenue was
discussed. A. R, Zeller, C Hoagland and
Andrew Paulsen are looking after the
matter. It is proposed to repair or Im
prove the avenue. On the steep portion of
the hill at Cook avenue, the roadway has
settled and is Impassable.
To Select Pfevr Cycle Path Route.
The committee from Sellwood to select
a new route for a cycle path to connect
with the Mllwiukle-street path at Holgate
street has the choice, of two routes. It
is conceded that only a portion of this
path can be built along Mllwaukle street.
The single track on Mllwaukle street will
be made double to the switch In front of
theBrooklyn schoolhouse and It is only a
matter of time when there -will be a
double track to Holgate. For the present,
the double track will stop at Brooklyn
schoolhouse. One route will carry the
pith north on Mllwaukle street to Mall
street, thence west to East Ninth and
north on East Ninth to Ellsworth, on
Ellsworth to East Eighth and on East
Eighth to East Clay. The cost of building
over this route would probably be pro
hibitory. The other route Is to follow
Mllwaukle street either to Bismarck or
some other cross' street; thence east to
East Thirteenth, thence north on East
Thirteenth to Clinton to a connection with
the path on East Twelfth, which begins
at Division. This latter route could not
be considered "but for the fact that a
plat of .the TIbbett's tract between Pow
ell and Clinton, and MJlwaukle and East
Sixteenth streets, will be filled shortly.
It will open East Thirteenth street. The
committee will select a route and have
an ordinance prepared for presentation to
the Council at its next meeting.
Traclc-Laylnp: Completed.
Track-laying on the Williams avenue
and Killlngsworth avenue extension of the
City & Suburban Railway Is finished to
the Intersection of Commercial street and
Killlngsworth avenue. It is understood
that for the present the line will not be
electrified beyond this point. The steam
motor will come to this new junction.
When the transfer of the University prop
erty to the Catholics for a school Is com
pleted and the school started, the line
will no doubt be electrified to Ports
mouth. East Side Notes.

FALL FASHIONS.
Mrs. S. Silveriield Has Gone to Xctv
York A Few Hints Abont
Fall Styles.
Mrs. S. Silveriield has gone to New
York fpr the purpose of looking over
the market " and making purchases of
"strictly up to date goods for the Silver
field Fur and Suit House. Before leaving
Mrs. Sllverfleld kindly consented to ex
press her views concerning Fall and
.Winter styles In ladles' jackets and suits.
Among other things, she said:
"A little of everything is being shown
for the coming Winter season In the
Paris and Berlin markets; all lengths,
all kinds of 'sleeve's, all kinds of collars,
backs, etc. Judging by the fact that all
houses show jackets 42 to 45 Inches In
length, this style- of garment ought to be
correct. Most, of them are with the three
seams In back; slightly curved; some of
them slit up the back, others with in
verted plaits on each side; some cut with
yokes.
"The Raglan sleeve Is not as much in
evidence. Most of the sleeves are cut
flat at the shoulder, widening from elbow
to wrist.
"The fronts are either double-breasted
or fly effect.
"All shapes pf collars are produced, the
high turn-down collar being the favorite.
Besides this collar there are the Stuart,
the- sailor collar, with or without special
cape effect. - I believe the shape collar
will be correct for the American market
"The trimmings of these jackets con
sist of cloth straps, satin straps, fancy
braids, embroidery, embroidered cloth
straps; once in a while a fur-trimmed
garment. I advise to trim the gar
ments as little as possible; stitching ef
fects will be as popular as ever.
"Twenty and 22-Inch jackets are also
being shown In Berlin. This garment Is
N. G. for the American market. Twenty
six and 28-lnch jackets are being shown
here; there are some 30 and 32 inches
long, which are mostly cut with tight
fitting plaited back, sampled after the new
Louis XV effects. Indications are that
the tight-fitting back will be correct and
popular. Up to this day, judging by the
European markets, absolutely no definite
conclusions can be drawn.
"A few capes are showing In 45-inch
lengths. Nobody has confidence in this
garment.
"Regarding suits, the Berlin market
does not produce anything worth while
copying. Guidance will come from Paris,
where for novelties theLouls XV effects
can be seen at such houses as Francis,
Paquln, etc.
"The jacTcets are 24 and 28 inches long;
plaited backs, with vest effects, and high
turn-down collar.
"For the long jacket suit, the plain
gored skirt with and without panel, in
verted back is correct. The flounce skirt
would produce a short effect with the
long jacket."

WATCH THE DANGER FLAG
TARGET PRACTICE " TODAY7 BACK
OF THE CITY PARK.
Oregon XntlonnJ Gnnrrt and Xavnl
Reserve Will Practice Marksman
ship Regularly This Summer.
Today the first shoot on the outdoor
rifle range of the Oregon-National Guard
will take place, and some good scores will
probably be made. The range runs along
200 feet into the hills adjoining the City
Park, and It is the best arrangement of its
kind ever laid out in this city or vicinity.
It was inspected 'and accepted yesterday
by Captain Joslah Kemp, regimental In
spector. t
Target practice will be held between the
hours of S A. M. and 6 P. M., on Sundays,
and on Saturday afternoons between 1
and 6 o'clock. Today the first battalion of
the Third Regiment and the second divis
ion of the Naval Reserves will shoot, and
the following Sunday the secon,d battalion
of the regiment, and the third division of
the Naval Reserves will meet. Saturdays,
the range will be open to any one of the
guard. At no time will 'target practice
be allowed without the Immediate pres
ence of a range officer. People desiring to
witness the rifle practice are cordially In
vited to do so, but must confine them
selves to the firing point, which will be
clearly and unmistakably marked by a
United States flag.
Every precaution will be taken to guard
against danger. Danger flags will be fly
ing at regular Intervals at all times while
firing Is going on. A notice will also be
posted In the road running from City
Park to the Canyon road, warning the
people crossing the danger line. The regi
mental Inspector requests that people who
stroll from the City Park Into the neigh
boring hills on Sundays or Saturday
afternoons will look out for the danger
flags. They will be visible at points along
the firing line.
HOW BARS ARE LOCATED.
Signs That Warn Pilots of Shallow
Wnter.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"River men have but little trouble in
telling how deep the water ls If they
know the stream and Its habits," eald an
old steamboat captain, "and if conditions
are normal they can tell It by the surface
disturbance, by the ripple of the waves.
Streams, of course, have their erratic
moods, just as men do, and when they
are In this condition the river man would
be at a disadvantage In estimating the
depth of the water at a given point. The
course of the currents may for some rea
son be violently diverted, or the wind may
be up, or some other condition may pre
vail that would tend to throw a fellow
off. But under ordinary circumstances It
Is an easy matter for the river man to
tell just how deep the water Is, and he
does It by watching the play on the sur
face. The waves do the measuring for
him. The shallow-water wave flattens
somewhat, but it Is more violent., more
erratic In Its movements than the wave
you find playing on the deep-water sur
face. The deep-water wave Is heavier
and more sluggish, for the plain reason
that the force which causes the wave
scatters more rapidly, passing on to a
further depth. This fact means a great
deal to the pilot who finds himself In a
stream that la new to him. If there is
a good, stiff current it is an easy mat
ter, of course, to keep in the channel.
But the boat passing up stream, does not
move so rapidly If put against the cur
rent, so dead water becomes desirable.
Dead water may be shallow, or It may
be deep, or at least deep enough for the
purposes, and In this event the man .who
Is steering the boat will seek to throw
the vessel out of the current and give
her smoother sailing. Here Is where the
value of close observation of waves will
come In. If the pilot can judge with
sufficient accuracy the depth of the dead
water by surface Indications from his
