Last month Miss Muriel Wallinr, of New York, was a chorus girl in an opera company and drew a salary of $60 per week. A few days ago a relative left her a fortune of $100,000 5- cash and a mansion at Rlverhead, Long Island Sound, but, strange to relate, she does not pro pose to Quit the opera chorus. She likes the work, she says. Mile. Emma Calve, the contralto, whose Carmen has delighted thousands of opera-lovers the world over, has expe rienced one of the heartrending epi sodes of real life, for It has been an nounced publicly that the famous singer and her fiance, Henri Cain, have broken their engagement to be married. Calve began to sing In public nearly 20 years ceo. There is considerable interest in the an nouncement that the. Portland Caledonian Club has engaged the famous Kiltie's Band, Gordon Highlanders, of Canada, to give two concerts at the Exposition build ing, February 13 and 14. People who have heard this band play In the East say it is first class In every respect, and eauai to any of the great bands now on the road, if not superior, from the fact that Scotch music forms the principal reper toire. The musicians have been selected from the best bands in Canada, they all wear kilts, and the street parade will be well worth seeing. The Kilties, at their cencerts, play, sing, dance and tell stories. Lucile Collette, 10 years old, a favorite little violinist in this city, was the soloist at a concert given by the Ladies' Musical Club at Taconuv, last Tuesday, and met with a flattering reception. She played seven pieces all entirely from memory. A Tacoma newspaper, in speaking of her, said: "Her playing of Popper's 'Gavotte' and Mendelssohn's 'Spring Song was es pecially dainty and happy. She gives evi dence of careful teaching, and executes difficult positions and harmonies with a facility well-nigh, appalling to many older students who have worked with the violin for years." The little girl's mother, Mrs. Collette, was formerly Miss Flora Gill, of Tacocna. TALES OF THE TOWN THE buyer for a local department store returned from a trip to New York and Philadelphia yesterday, having epent two weeks on the trip, and sleeping and eating all the time on a through train. The train was three times held up by snowdrifts, onco for four days. But the crew manaced to keep the cars heated, and the passengers suffered no ac tual hardships, although the meals served were not all that they might have been. In describing his experiences tho Port land man said: "We were a pretty Jolly lot, and there was a theatrical troupe on board' for a part of the time. We played cards a good deal, and had amateur theatricals and minstrel shows. It Is surprising how much talent develops on such wholly Impromptu occasions. We had no musical Instru ments except a harmonica, but the brake man, who owned that, made almost a Sousa orchestra out of It. It goes with out saying that he was worked over time." "And tho meals?" "Well, they were er just meals. I don't know as I could say anything else about them. The eggs we got for break fast after our four days' hold-up were a trifle fatigued, and we were aN whole lot shy on fresh vegetables. But we had clams. We had clams without limit and until further orders.' A shipment Intend ed for another dining car had been de livered to ours, and that gave us a dou ble dose. We had 'em raw and fried and stewed and frittered and chowdered and pattled, until we used to pass up our meals altogether to side-step "the tough little bivalves. I never want to encoun ter one again." "Anybody sick?" "Not a soul. We didn't get much news of the outside world, though, and formed the opinion that a man doesn't know how much his daily paper means to him until the day comes when it is missing. Then It seems as though a part of his life had left him. Speaking of newspapers,, too, reminds that the afternoon editions in New York these days have got a system of getting out extras In trying to beat each other that gives an unsophisticated stranger from the West the fantods. "You. get the noon edition when you get up in the morning, and the last 4 o'clock edition is on your table at break fast. When your watch shows you that it Is 11:30 o'clock In the morning the news boys in the streets are bawling about the sensational Items in the extra midnight edition. It mokes you feel woozy. You sort of get the idea that the next number will tell you what happened tomorrow, or something like that. I tell you those New York yellows have got old Father Time buffaloed, and they say it is getting worse all the time." "And business?" "Business Is fine. Tho awful price of coal is a disturbing factor in some lines, but everybody in the East is hoping for a speedy relaxationln present conditions. There has been a good deal of suffering because of lack of fuel." "Politics?" "Didn't hear a thing about politics till I got home. Then I struck It in bunches, but I don't know what it's all about; do you?" RECENTLY the manager and the guests at a fashionable apartment houso in Portland were annoyed by weird odors which nightly permeated the corri dors. They were most pronounced late In tho evenings, and after a whole week of amateur detective work the manager found that it was the nightly habit of a musician on tho top floor to cook onion soup on a gas stove in his room. "I couldn't buy it at any of the res taurants," he said plaintively. In broken English, when told that he must seek qharters elsewhere. "Tho people in Port land don't eat onion soup, and I can't get along without it." But his defense did not save him. The manager suggested that he buy a wall tent for a residence. but this year they seem determined to stay with us. I have tried to explain it in a number of ways, but I have not been able to do so to my own satisfaction. "Plenty of work, you say? Of course there is, but these people won't work. That Is what makes the mystery of their existence the more difficult to solve, so long as we can't catch 'em stealing. They Just hang around tho rear rooms of third class saloons, coming out occasionally for a walk when the sun shines. We know they're no good, and they know we know it, but until they give us some ex cuse we can't send 'em to the rockpile. A detective told me the other day he thought they were waiting over to graft on the Exposition crowds in 1905, and mebbe he's right." A POLICEMAN who patrols a beat in ono of the least fashionable parts of tho city, said as he came off duty last night: "There are more undesirable residents In Portland now than ever Wintered here before. There has been no great increase in evil-doing, so far as the records show, and 1 don't know how these people man age to live, but I see them every day. Uusually they begin to go south as soon as the cold weather sets in, most of them striking for Southern California or Texas, IF THE burglar whd entered tho resi dence of Orson M. Seward In Fruit Valley, Clark County, Washington, at midnight last Saturday will repeat the maneuver and take chances on what fol-. lows, he or his heirs will be paid $50 In real money. Mr. Seward says so himself. Tho burglar at his first attempt did not get anything of value except professional experience, and Mr. Seward failed in a laudable attempt to get the burglar. He wants to have another try at him, and in a communication to The Oregonlan makes the offer of $50 flat, with no side bet, and no embarrassing technicalities. The burglar forced his way into the Seward residence, but in doing so aroused the head of the house, who made a noise In getting out of bed. The burglar heard him and fled, with Mr. Seward after him, the latter letting drive with his Win chester at ever' Jump, but without effect. The marauder did not try to find the hard and dry places in the trail, but tore along through tho mud, and Mr. Seward tho next day could fallow the torn-up earth for a couple of miles, whereOt suddenly became normal again. Tho plain infer ence is that the burglar had an accom plice with an airship. "I don't fix any exact time for him to try It over again," says Mr. Seward, In making his offer. "Any tlhie, day or night, he will be welcome, and the money is his as soon as he makes good. We have been kind of lonesome in Fruit Valley for some time, and a little thing like this does us good. I ain't as good a sprinter In the dark as he is, but I'm pretty good yet on the shcot. Just advertise that I want him to come and play with me once more, and the only thing I ask.is for the best man to win." In sporting parlance, Mr. Seward seems to have been a little lato In issuing his "defi." It is a full week since the bur glar visited him, and the offer may not reach his eye at this time. "IT IS unfortunate for Bremerton that I tho town has received so much un favorable advertisement through the pub lished decision of the Navy Department not to send any more warships there," said C. B. Williams, of Seattle, at the Portland last night. "There Is much truth in the statement that there are low-class dives In the place, which make it bad for the jackles who go ashore there, Jjut the dives did not come to Bremerton un til after tho jackles came, and they will follow the Jackle3 to tho next placo our great and good Government sends them. "There are plenty of good people and -plenty of legitimate business houses in Bremerton, and these do not deserve the treatment they have received, Tho para sites who prey upon the soldiers and sail ors simply trail along behind the regi ment or the battle-ship. They will leave Bremerton now, but It will only bo to move on to the next port that Is favored by the department. Tho condition of affairs is unfortunate, and thero seems to be no permanent remedy for it." AGREE with Mr. Beardsley that I Charlie Hoyt's humor was a type in itself, but he overlooked the lino in "A Temperance Town which always hits the house hardest," said William Lamp, the clever young leading Juvenile at Baker's, yesterday. "It is where the old farmer philosopher remarks, 'No, married men don't live longer than single men; It only seems longer.' " ROF. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, the colored educational leader of tho Tuskeegee, Alabama, Institute, who Is now touring the Pacific Coast, is expected to reach Portland about January 25, ac cording to advices received here yester day. x ATTRACTIONS AT THE MARQUAM GRAND THEATER THIS WEEK MARQUAM GRAND THEATE CALVIN HEILIQ MANAGER MONDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 12, '03 A DAINTY AND PRETTY ' STORY ABLY TOLD Mr. Jules Murry presents the clever young American Afitor MR.

As the matter now stands the World's Fair is without an official emblem. The contest 13 finished and Its result has been that Mr. Hollo way's design has received the verdict of being the best design. The statement was made at the admin istration building that It was not possible to use the Holloway design as an official emblem, but that undoubtedly It would be converted into a poster for advertising purposes.
