21 THE SUNDAY OKEGONIA'N, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 13, 1001. BABIES WERE ON PARADE CAItXIVAIi EVEXT FOR MTTU3TOTS ATTRACTS A liARB CROWD. Creeping: Match. "Was the Feature ot the Programme The "Winners in the Different Clauses. All sorts of tootsio ivootsles, In their little knitted bootsles, "With their dimpled, chubby arms of various size; Pond mammas with their dearies. And each mamma had her fearles That her precious darling wouldn't win the prize. Ballads o the Carnival Committee. It Tvas a field day for the babies yes terday at the Exposition, and the bis building was filled with dotlngr mothers and their chubby, dimpled dearies, who were entered for the prizes offered for -4he winners in the Carnival baby show. Unfortunately there were not enough prizes to give one to each of the 121 entries, and more than one fond mamma was obliged to take her little one home with disappointment in her heart, and the earnest conviction in her mind that the judges were not judges, and were unable to pick out the handsomest child. Human jsature is the same the world over, and never was there a mother who did not believe her own baby to be the best ever. The judges were Impartial, but it was a hard task to pick and choose among so many beautiful little tots. As suredly the coming generation of Port land boys and girls will be beauties, if the babies exhibited yesterday may be taken as a standard. Each one dressed in his or her best bib and tucker, on dress parade, as it were, the baby show was a sight that will long be remembered. Early in the afternoon the arrivals be gan, and even after the judges had made their rounds, belated mothers appeared -with their precious darlings to be en tered for the competition. George H. Wimple acted as official handlcapper, and assigned the youngsters to their various classes. In all 124 babies were listed before the entries closed. The judges were Mrs. H. E. Battin, Mrs. A. Nappach and District Attorney Chamber lain, but truth to tell, Mr. Chamberlain rather dodged the Issue, and the selec tions were left largely to the feminine members of the commission. The little ones were a well-behaved lot, and there was but little crying or fretting among them. Chairs had been provided in one of the large aisles on the Chapman-street side, and here J23 fond mammas and one proud father sat with their progeny, while the judges and the spectators thronged by in a continual stream. The father, who bore the distinction of being the only man in the entry list, was M. P. Pike, and the child was Ixrenzo Fill more Pike. The little chap didn't get a prize, but the father should have a medal. Not many men would sit for two solid hours, surrounded by chattering moth ers, who told each other how "Willie never cried a day in his life, or that Saldee's dimples were indicative of a happy baby hood, that had never been marred by the agonies of colic or the dangers of the cramp. Think of the martyr-like spirit that persuaded, in fact, urged him to listen to the endless discussions of the comparative value of different baby foods. The creeping race was the star event of the day. Several babies made bad starts and refused to remember the rule that walking was barred, in consequence "being disqualified from further participa tion. The star entries were Mary Fran cis Cox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Cox, of 44G Park street, and Gladys Ruth Mlddleton. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Mlddleton, of Woodstock. The ages were limited from 9 to 15 months, and the babies were naturally supposed to have had considerable more practice in creeping than education In walking. The two winners above named got off to gether at the fall of the flag, and, coaxed hy the mothers, started over the course. Baby Cox cantered at a record-breaking pace from the start, and was In the lead at the quarter. At the half Baby Mld dleton began to creep up, and was but a length behind, when her little baby head became imbued with the idea that it was no fun, and she quit. The result was that Baby Cox won in a gallop several lengths to the good. The prizes ranged from a baby carriage to boxes of candy. The winners were an nounced from, the stage by Mr. Wimple, and the prizes were delivered by Super intendent E. W. Rowe. Following were the fortunate ones: First class, handsomest baby under 6 Prize Fat Baby, Terna Lueslng. months First, Ruth Marcy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Marcy, 13 East Third; second, Albert C.

In loving memory of the late Miss Ella Booth, who died at her home, 770 Montana avenue, Tuesday morning, after a brief illness. She was a resident of this place and resided with her sister, Mrs. Moffitt. It will be remembered how their father was killed about eight years ago In the railroad yards, their mother" dying a fewi years previous at The Dalles, leaving the girls alone. They had no relatives to sym pathize with them in their sad bereave ment, but had many kind friends and neighbors who gave ta?m a kindly hand, for they were loved by all who knew them. Miss Ella was of a very retiring disposition, and a patient sufferer, but she bore up to the last with great fortitude until the Lord called her home to meet her loved ones gone before. C.

Committee Appointed by the Retail Merchants' Association Settles the Question. The leading merchants of Oregon City recently decided to give a special prize in the way of the very finest and most valuable piano obtainable, regardless of price. A. committee consisting of three representative business men was accord ingly appointed, and this committee con sisting of Messrs. A. Robertson, Duane C. Ely and William Andresen. made sev eral trips to Portland to carefully inves tigate the piano question. They have finally decided upon the large size cabinet grand Checkering upright piano, in very fancy mottled mahogany case. Although Eilers Piano House, from whom this instrument was purchased, has sold a largos number of fine Chlckering pianos at Oregon City, this particular prize Chickerlng piano, which Is now on exhibition at one of Oregon City's lead ing stores, Is without question the finest and most costly upright piano ever sold there and the contest for its. possession will undoubtedly prove most Interesting and exciting.

Of catarrh remedies there is no end, but of catarrh cures there has always been a great scarcity. There are many reme dies to relieve, but very few that really cure. The eld practice of snuffing salt water through the nose would often relieve and the washes, douches, powders and in halers in common use are very little, if any, better than the old-fashioned salt water douche. The use of Inhalers and the application of salves, washes and powders to the nose and throat to' cure catarrh Is no more reasonable than to rub the back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much a blood disease as kidney trouble or rheumatism, and It cannot be cured by lo cal treatment any more than they can be. To cure catarrh, whether In the head, throat or stomach, an Internal antiseptic treatment is necessary to drive the ca tarrhal pols-on out of the blood and sys tem, and the new catarrh cure Is de signed on this plan and the remarkable success of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is be cause, being used internally, it drives out catarrhal infection through action upon stomach, liver and bowels. William Zimmerman, of St. Joseph, re lates an experience with catarrh which Is of value to millions of catarrh sufferers everywhere. He says: "I neglected a slight nasal catarrh until It gradually ex tended to my throat and bronchial tubes and finally even my stomach and liver became affected, but as I was able to keep up and do a day's work I let It run along until my hearing began to fail me, and then I realized that I must get rid of catarrh or lose my position, as I was clerk, and my hearing was absolutely necessary. "Some of my friends recommended an Inhaler, another a catarrh salve, but they were no good In my case, nor was any thing else until I heard of Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets and bought a package at my drug store. They benefited me from the start and in less than four months I was completely cured of catarrh, although I had suffered nearly all my life from it. "They are pleasant to take and so much more convenient to use than other catarrh remedies that I feel I cannot say enough In favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets." A little book on cause and cure ot catarrh will be mailed free by addressing F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich., and the tablets are sold by all druggists in the United States and Canada. Hill Military Academy Purchases Five Fine New Pianos at Eilers Piano House. One of the most important acquisitions to Northwestern educational facilities is the new military academy recently opened by Dr. J. W. Hill, who during the past 28 years has been most prominently Identi fied with "advanced educational interests in the West The academy was opened on September iS, with a corps of 13 In structors. There Is not an institution In the country better qualified to thoroughly fit boys for college, Its graduates being admitted upon Dr. Hill's certificate in tho University of Oregon and Leland Stan ford of California. That the study of music will also be looked after in the best possible manner is evidenced by the fact that after care fully investigating the merits and de merits of all the leading American makes of pianos at the various stores, Dr. Hill and the faculty yesterday placed an order for five new upright pianos vith Eilers Piano House. After careful comparison, two large cab inet grand new-scale Kimball upright pi anos were decided upon for the assembiy room, and for general concert work. Then for students' practice work, two of the popular Whitney pianos in solid oak cases will be used. A superb little Weber (the so-called baby upright), was also pur chased for special uses, the Weber being recognized as the piano par excellence for accompaniment of the voice. This is the largest single order for high grade pianos ever placed with us by any Western Institution of learning, and in effecting this business we have again most forcibly demonstrated our ability to not only supply the very best Instruments, but also that we are In position to furnish these instruments for less money than can any other firm of dealers.

B. & J. stock, and we would advise intending purchasers to select their instruments during the present week.

William Waddell, Burr Williams and Al Green, three swell coons from Whlte chapel, convicted In the Municipal Court on charges of vagrancy, were before Judge Sears yesterday, endeavoring to ob tain their release on habeas corpus pro ceedings. Green and Williams were sen tenced to pay a fine of $50 each and spend 30 days in the City Jail, while Waddell was fined $75 and sentenced also to spend GO days in jail. The question involved Is whether a defendant has the right of ap peal from a judgment of conviction for violation of a city ordinance. The defend ants attempted to appeal to the State Cir cuit Court and to obtain their release on bonds pending the determination of the case in the higher court. Judge Sears will render a decision on the law Mon day morning. George H. Durham and Louis H, Tarp ley appeared as attorneys for the peti tioners, and argued that they had the right to appeal. The deolsion of the Su preme Court in the case of the City of Portland vs. A. Erlckso.n was cited, where the Supreme Court held that 'the City of Portland had no right of appeal or to review the decision of Judge Hennessy, and stated that the defendant Erickson would have the right of appeal. Section 59 of the city charter provides that "all proceedings before the Municipal "Court or Judge thereof, Includlr all pro ceedings for the violation of a city ordi nance,, are governed and regulated by the general laws of the s'tate applicable to the Justice of thfi 'Peace or Justice Courts In similar cases." The code gives the right of appeal from the Justice Court in 185 TO 191 FIRST STREET H. E. EDWA RDS YOUR CREDIT IS GOOD.

Deputy City Attorney Dunlway argued that the defendants in these cases can not appeal, and must serve their sen tences. He said there was no inherent right of appeal, and the defendant has the right only if the Legislature provides It, and not otherwise. Counsel referred to the decision of Judge Thayer, while on the Supreme Bench, "that such right must be given by positive provision of statute." Mr. Dunlway also made tho point that habeas corpus is not the right remedy by which bail may be fixed. . BLACK GOODS SALE.
