"Wade -was re-elected presi dent, and Mrs. A. S. Dunlway was made honorary president. The conven tion on the whole has been interesting and profitable. The second biennial session of the State Federation o Women's Clubs was brought to a close yesterday afternoon. The meetings have been well attended, .and the various reports showed a record lor the past two years of which the ladles are justly proud. At the morning session Mrs. C. B. "Wade, the retiring president, gave an interesting address, followed by an Informal discussion of various topics. Mrs. A. S. Dunlway was made honorary president of the -State Federation by. a unanimous vote. At the afternoon ses sion the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. C. B. "Wade, of Pendloton: vice-president, Mrs. G. R. Childs, of Roseburg; second vice-president, Mrs. Altman, of Portland; recording secretary, Mrs. Samuel Elmore, of Astoria; corresponding secretary.

Geer, of Salem: first director, Mrs. Frank Strong, of Eugene; second director, Mrs. Julia Marquam, of Port land. The vliiting delegates extended a vote of thanks to the Portland clubs for the royal entertainment afforded them and the hospitality they had been shown. It was decided to hold a mld-"Wlnter meeting at Salem in February, and As toria was set as the place of holding their next annual meeting. At the morning session Mrs. G. R. Child, of Roseburg, presided. In course of her address Mrs. "Wade said: "Our literary clubs are no more alto gether reading and study clubs, but most of them, as their reports show, are giving something of themselves to others, and this Is true, real development. . . . Two years ago we had but two large clubs in the state, both In Portland. To these two more have been added, one in Astoria and one in Salem, and more than a dozen in the other towns in different parts of the state. It has been the good fortune of -your president to visit many of the clubs, but impossible to visit all of them. Everywhere unfailing Interest and loyalty to our work has met her." At the close a rising vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Wade. Mrs. Lillian Cole-Bethel, of Columbus. O.; Mrs. Conde Hamlin, of St. Paul, and Mrs. Dockery. of Boise. Idaho, each gave an interesting talk. Upon her election as honorary president of the State Federa tion Mrs. A. S. Dunlway was called upon lor an address. She responded In a few well-chosen words of appreciation, which "were received with tumultuous applause. She refused to respond to an encore. At the afternoon session Mrs. Wade "was in the chair. The all-important question of electing officers was before them, and many of the ladles showed a vote-soliciting ability that would make them invaluable in any political cam paign. The slates had been carefully pre pared, and confidential conferences were being held in various parts of the room. As a delegate came In, she was met by the champions of one slate or another and quietly posted as to the merits of the several candidates. Interesting remarks were Indulged in previous to the balloting. One lady who occupied a chair along the side row, after obtaining the floor, declared that it was an outrage that the ladies should wear their hats during meetings, and followed up her statement by some very substan tial argument. "Whv don't you take off your hat?" called out a lady in the audi ence. "L am at the side of the room, and no one is behind me," said she. "If I were In the body of the house, I would take off my hat if no one else in the room did." The effect of her remarks was evident, lor in a few moments the waving sea of plumes and flowers had vanished, and the occupants of the back seats gave a sigh of relief as they again caught sight of their honored president. Mrs. Bethel, who has National fame as a parliamentarian, was on the platform during the afternoon, and her services were frequently called for to straighten out some knotty questions of rules of order. During the discussion it was suggested that the federation could get a good many favors if they would meet in Salem during the session of the Legislature. "And get them acquainted with some of the future constituents of this body " sug gested one. In the name, of the Salem Club Mrs Geer invited the federation to meet In Salem next February. After a short dis cussion the invitation was accepted Several outside clubs Invited the fed eration to hold its next annual meeting with them. The invitation of the Read ing Club, of Astoria, was accepted. The clubwomen all express themselves as highly pleased with the results of the session just closed, and as determined to push their club work In the future, , INDIAN PREACHER HERE. He Will Conduct Services Today at First Presbyterian. This morning a full-blooded Indian will preach the gospel to the large and cul tured congregation that is accustomed to worship Jn the First Presbyterian Church. Rev. Edward Marsden is a most interesting man. Forty-three years ago his people were rude savages. Mr. Marsden early conceived the Idea of gaining an education. He was sent to the Indian' school at Sitka, and then grad uated from an Eastern college. He is a line musician, having served as leader of the band at New Metlakahtla. He took a law course, and then entered a theo logical seminary, from which he gradu ated four or five years ago. At the meeting of the North Pacific Board a few evenings ago, Dr. Hill, of the First Presbyterian Church, told an interesting Incident concerning the young Indian. When Dr. Hill was on a trip to Alaska, a few years ago, the passengers assembled on Sunday evening to have a "sing'' In the main saloon. An hour was spent singing Moody and Sankey hymns, after which It was suggested that pome one sing a solo. A fashionable young lady, a member of one of the churches in San Francisco, went to her stateroom, and, bringing back a roll of music, proceeded to sing some senti mental vaudeville piece, much to the be wilderment of the company. Then Dr. Hill leaned over and asked the young In dian if he would sing something. With quiet dignity' too Indian -arose andj stepped to the piano. Running his fingers lightly over the keys, he began, to the astonishment of all present, to sing Ad ams beautiful "Holy City." Nothing further was said during the remainder of the voyage in regard to a dead Indian being the only good Indian. PICTURES OF BIRDS. Rev. W. R. Lord to Give Stcrcoptlcon Lecture This Week. Portland bird-lovers will be delighted to learn that the Rev. W. R. Lord has -kindly consented to give a stereoptlcon lecture on birds tho latter part of this week, under the auspices of the John Bur roughs Society. He has collected a largo number of vers beautiful pictures, many of them our own native birds in Oregon; the slides made from the Audubon plates will also prove a sourco of keen pleasure to all who have a soft spot in their hearts for the sprightly feathered tenants of our tree tops. About 60 kinds of birds will be thrown upon tho screen, caught un awares In all sorts of odd and naive sit uations, their habits while nesting, as well as on the wing, being revealed by the wonders of photography. Those who have heard Mr. Lord give one of his in formal bird talks know with what rare sympathy and bright humor he can de scribe the birds, their uses, beauties and curious habits. Since his arrival from New York two weeks ago, Mr. Lord has been in great demand for these bird talks, visiting various Oregon towns and awakening such enthusiasm for the study of our wild birds of forest and meadow that clubs are being formed in many parts of the state. Salem in particular is just now the scene of much activity In this matter, and indeed the entire State of Oregon Is feeling the quickening Im pulse of Mr. Lord's warm sympathy for our feathered neighbors who make their homes in fir grove and sweetbrler Jungle. Mr. Lord has been greatly pleased at the many kind expressions of approval that he has received in the last few weeks from leading American ornithologists con cerning the new edition of his "First Book on the Birds of Oregon and Wash ington." The great journals In all parts of the country praise it without reserve; and Oregon critics are not behindhand in expressing their satisfaction. Mr. Lord has been told by competent school men that in the mere printing, binding and typography of the book It is the most perfect and artistic text-book that Ore gon school children have in their hands today. Mr. Lord Is expected to return to Port land tonight, and upon his arrival ar rangements will be completed without delay for his lecture here this weqk. He is planning to be present at the regular meeting of the John Burroughs Club Tuesday night, in the parlors of the Uni tarian Church, Seventh and Yamhill. At thlh meeting it Is probable that a State Audubon Society will be organized. All bird-lovers who are interested in this movement are cordially Invited to be present. COAST CLUB AT YALE.

PRAGER & SOXS TO THE FRONT IN SAX FRAXCISCO. For trunks, go to the Harris Trunk Co. Proprietors of "The Red Front" Will Open Rival Establishment to the Emporium, About Sept. 1. With their characteristic enterprise and progressiveness, A. J. Prager & Sons, proprietors of the Red Front clothing house in San Francisco and Portland, will open a magnificent new department store in the former city. It will be located In the Murphy building, corner Market and McAllister streets, formerly oc cupied by J. J. O'Brien & Co. Undoubted ly it will prove a formidable rival of the Emporium; in fact, bids fair to eclipse it. In an Interview with Mr. Prager we learn that they will conduct an up-to-date store, somewhat on the order of Slegel, Cooper & Co., Chicago. Every thing will be sold, excepting furniture, for which as" yet they have no room. The building occupies a space of about 200 feet frontage, by 175 feet in depth, and the first floor, as well as the basement, will be fitted up for salesrooms. They do not propose to employ cheap labor, realizing that the best results are obtained from efficient, well-paid help. Their force at the outset will comprise about 200 people, and it will be their aim to have a strong union store. They will endeavor to patronize home industry to as great an extent as possible. Messrs. I. and R. Prager, of this city, leave this evening for San Francisco to complete arrangements in connection with the new store, which they expect to have in operation by the first of Sep tember. Of course the Portland branch, at 269-271 Morrison street, will be con tinued as heretofore. Judging from their reputation and business capacity the new venture will prove a decided success. TRAVELS IN HANDCUFFS. Californlnn Is Working Way Around the World for $1000 Wager. A picturesquely-attired Individual with handcuffs decorating his wrists stepped into The Oregonian office la6t night and announced that he was Alfred Herman, of Bakersfield, Cal., and that he, was mak ing a tour of the world on a wager of 51000 that he would complete the circuit within 18 months. Herman said that the men with whom he made the wager wer prominent citizens of Bakersfield. The conditions were that, he should leave the city penniless and that he should wear handcuffs from the time he arose in the morning until he retired at night He left Bakersfield March 22, worked his way, he says, to Los Angeles and thence to San Francisco, and earned his passage to Vic toria by peeling potatoes in the galley In Seattle, he says, he earned money by exhibiting himself and by selling his pic tures. He says he will remain here four or five daysand will then start for Salt Lake City. Herman says his handcuffs are removed nightly by the clerks at the hotels where he stays and are locked again In the morning and the fact duly certified to by the clerk. All the clothes he' carries are those on hip person, to-wit: One ulster, a sweater, frayed knickerbockers walk ing boots and a large sombrero. He wears a frontier belt and at his left side hangs a revolver which, notwithstanding his handcuffs, he can easily manipulate. He carries a small satchel filled with pictures and newspaper articles about himself. Asked about himself he said he was a tailor by occupation. A pioneer citizen inquired wjiat garment he made last, and Herman said a cartoon. "Whereupon the pioneer offered to pur chase a pair of handcuffs for anyone who wished to accompany Herman, but no one took advantage of his generosity. Her man then took his departure, but before leaving he said he would give all the people of Portland an opportunity to see him during his stay here. WEATHER FOR MAY.

When a dentist advertises that he -'can perform all dental operations, pos itively without pain, you at once put him down as a humbug, and It Ls not strange to me that you do so, because you have been deceived so often by unscrupulous and unskillful dentists who advertise these things to attract you to their offices, so that they might fleece you; but please remember that there are honest men In the dental profession who advertise, and you must discriminate for yourself be tween the fake advertiser and the rep utable dentist who advertises because he wants your patronage and la able to give you the service that he prom ises. The time has passed when It is necessary for you to suffer agony or severe pain In the dental chair. We have so many agents now at our com mand to prevent and alleviate pain.

Yet that is what many a woman in her ignor ance is doing daily. She nourishes the life entrusted to her care with WEAK and contaminated blood. With no vital force to give, can she expect to bring into existence a human being that will be aught but a burden and a care? The greatest crime a woman can commit before God or man is to be come a mother if she herself is weak or debilitated. Let me talk with you about this matter of your health.
