Turkey
's Overstock the Local
Market -
OVERLOOKED FOR GAME BIRDS
Pheasants and Mallards Are Marked
Down In Price, While Tur
keys Star at Bar-
gain Sales.
Many a eclon of turkey nobility, -whoa
ambition it was to grace the table of the
rich and the mighty on Thanksgiving
day. had that ambition nipped by being
priced at cents per pound. Many a fat
young gobbler, full many a plump, young
hen, -who came in from their country
homes last "Wednesday, freshly plucked
and attractive in appearance, would not
hare considered anything short of an
eight or ten-course dinner had their pri
vate opinions been consulted, but the
marketmea did not support them in
their lofty ideals, for they put the Prices
so high that scores and scores -who had
gone to the block and made sacrifice to
satisfy this lofty aim in all well-bred
turkeys lives, were left in their tem
porary morgues in the market
Mr. Turkey has had a hard time of it
this week. He has been ignominiously
cast aside for his hated rivals, the pheas-
thA duck. He has been piled on
the floor and on the sidewalk in company
with such low companions as common
chickens and rabbits; he has been hung
about the market until his fine, plump
hreast is shrunken, his nice, round legs
shriveled up and his firm, white meat
tnmed a disconsolate-looking blue, but
the infamy -which has been heaped upon
aim reached the limit yesterday, -when
he was offered to the public at bargain
sales. In full view of ttte vulgar public,
a placard labeled "A Bargain at 15 Cents
Per Pound" tied to his neck, he was
glad for once that his head was securely
tied up in a paper -wrapping so that his
burning "Mushes of shamo might not be
annereat to the ducks and pheasants,
woo did not seem to feel the disgrace so
keenly. , ,
Every marketman In town frankly ad
raits that he was "stuck", on turkles
and game the past week. The supply was
Jar greater than the demand, and yes
terday there was some lively skirmishing
to unload. The fact that pheasants can
not be sold or kopt in stock after Monday
brought them down to a dollar a brace,
but even at this great reduction there was
not the sale on them which was reason
ably expected. Those who have not been
able to afford ducks so far. yesterday had
the opportunity to get the finest at very
low rates, the finest mallards bringing
only 25 cents each, while teeon could
be had at two for a quarter. This put
them in reach of all. and down in First
street people were not slow to take ad
vantage of tho slump. Turkeys are pretty,
-ktU cold out in this locality, the mar
kets there having a good restaurant
trade, but further uptown great loads
of them were being sent to cold storage.
One dealer sold 400 pounds to a local
hotel man, who carted them off to cold
storage, where they will stay until
Christmas. This customer had a level
head, for it -will only cost him a cent a
round to keep them a month, and he
will have cheap turkey during the holi
day while others are again paying up
ia the twenties. One market on Fourth
street bought over 4005 turkeys lor
Tnanksglving. averaging ten pounds
each. It had a great many left over,
but were pretty well sold out last night.
Another dealer had about 500 birds left,
but he did not seem to be at all worried
over it. for. as he says, the cold-storage
plant is the marketman's best friend.
All restaurants and hotels will have
big turkey and game dinners today, hav
ing bought heavily at the reduced prices.
Many are going to serve Chinese pheasant
to their guests, so there is a treat in
store for the unfortunates "who "Just
board.
Plain beet and mutton -was passed by
with scorn in most markets, and stick
ing out of everyone's basket could be
seen the unwieldy legs of fowls. It is
not at all improbable that there will be
jest as many turkeys served on Port
land tables today as there -were last
Thursday.

Joseph Buchtel, Well-Known Pioneer,
Outruns a Street-Car.
Joseph Buchtel. the .well-known pioneer,
is no doubt one of the most active men
in the state for one of his age. He has
celebrated his 73d birthday, but neverthe
less he performed a feat of running yes
terday to catch a street-car that was re
markable and which very few young men
could equal. Mr. Buchtel started to over
take a car, which was going at full speed.
After sprinting quite a distance he caught
n the brass handhold and got one foot
i the steps of the rear platform, but
. s hold slipped. Instead of falling he
u,e a spring, landed on his feet clear of
." track, and reached the sidewalk
s Jeb A by-stander who saw the inci
dent remarked that there was not a young
man in the state who would not have
faLen under the circumstances.
Mr. Buchtel, when he was In his prime,
was one of the fastest runners in the
-world, having run 10 yards in 15 sec
onds. A man who saw him chase the
street-car said: "That young "fellow is
a pretty good runner," and another who
knew Mr. Buchtel replied, "Yes, but that
young fellow is 73 years of age."

NO PLACE P0E SICK.
Police Are Unable to Properly Care
for Dying Man.
Karl Stone, aged 45 years, a. sailor on
theBrltish sWp Port Patrick, died yester
day at the Western Lodging-House. An
autopsy was held last night to determine
the cause of death, and It was found that
valvular disease of the heart was the
cause of his trouble.
Stone wandered into the police station
late Friday evening, stating to the offi
cers that he was very sick, and needed
medical attention. He had but 3 upon
his person, and stated that it was all he
had. He said at the time that ho had
Just come down from Butteville, Or., and
that ho expected to ship on some ves
sel. In this case as in all of similar nature
the officers were unable to give him the
treatment ho should have had. Instead
of a good bed and much needed rest they
had only a cold, hard cell to offer him.
Captain Moore would not consent to hav
ing him placed in such quarters in his
condition, and Dr. Van Vecten was called.
He at once pronounced it a case of a
weak heart, and insisted that the man
must havo a good bed, and gave him
some stimulants.
"Rest .nd comfort are the main things
that he needs," said the doctor, but at
the Jail there was a sorry outlook for
such, treatment. After it was found that
the man had money enough to pay his
way at a rooming-house, he was taken to
the "Western Lodging-House, Second and
Burnside streets. It was intended to re
move him to the County Hospital In the
morning, hut when morning came he was
too weak. Everything possible was done
for him, but before night he passed away.
Coroner Finley was called to take
charge of the body. On his person was a
letter written In Finnish.
Tar Pot Causes Three Fires.
Three times during yesterday the flro
department was summoned to Fourth and
Flanders streets to put out fire in a shed
covering a tarpoL The firemen respond
ed patiently to the first two alarms, but
when the third call was answered, there
-were some rather energetic remarks con
cerning those responsible lor the fires.
An overheated condition of the tarpot
caused each of the fires.

I HAVE YOU SEN L COHEN?
IF YOU HAVE, JUST LET THE
SPORTING MEN KNOW.
He Was Entrusted With $700 to Buy
"Ben -Hut" Tlckets-Whero
Is He Now?
"Havo you seen Loufe Cohen?"
"Want lum on buslnessr '
"Well, yes''
Then a suspicious look, then a sickly
grin. "Stuck you, too? Hotv much?"
Similar dialogues went on yesterday.
The above Is but a sample. Every one
wanted to see Louie Cohen, but that gen
tleman wus not among those present. It
was Louie to the tall and uncut.
"Ben Hur" Is to blame. People wanted
to see the great play, and they were will
ing to part with money for the privilege.
That's where Louie saw his opportunity.
Others thought they saw an opportunity,
but they saw Uoulo first, and now they
are looking in vain for Mr. Cohen.
Louis Cohen, formerly a newsboy, has
been Identified with tho sporting frater
nity for some time. So ho conceived tho
Idea of buying large blocks of "Ben Hur"
tickets and selling them to his friends,
with Just a little "scale" for his trouble.
1
N. Wilbur Helm, Formerly of Princeton.
Abe Tlchner doesn't object to a flyer
once In a while himself, so he headed the
list. Louie Cohen would be his agent.
Tho ex-pollco captain would make enough
to more than pay his own expenses at
tho performance. A number of shining
pieces which Tlchner had made by trad
ing In county -warrants changed hands.
Then Cohen went to his sporting friends.
"Aren't you going to seo 'Ben Hur?"
he asked.
Some Of them hadn't thought of it; but
as they listened to Louie they realized
that an equivalent of years would be
blotted from their Uve3 If they didn't seo
"Ben Hur." They could see tho chariot
race, and hear the crash as the -young
Jew's axle strikes Messala's chariot. Go
they must So they authorized Loulo
Cohen to buy several seats for them.
They gave him the money before the
tickets came to hand. He was "working
a virgin public" to a frazzle.
Just how many tickets Cohen was or
dered to buy can never be known. There
are too many people who, thinking them
selves -wise ones, will not admit when
they havo been gold-bricked.
It is known, however, that Cohen
rounded-oip some 20 small boys and placed
them in the long line at the Marquam
box office. Each boy could buy 42 tickets,
so they weren't thero for nothing.
Louie, having several hundred dollars
in his pocket, could not stand around at
the theater waiting for the line to move.
It must have been nearly $700 with which
ho entered one of the uptown gambling
houses. But, alas for Louie and tho men
who had entrusted their money to him,
the cases -didn't come right! So long as
Cohen put down his money or the other
people's so long did the fascinating game
of faro refuse to be wooed. Louie left
the house, very much lighter in pocket
Back to the theater -went the embryo
financier.
"You might as well get out of line; I
haven't the money now," said Cohen to
the line of waiting youngsters. They had
been there for hours.
It has bg.en said that the only way to
"string" a gambler is to work him with
the most time-honored swindles on the
list He'll bo suspicious of anything new
or attractive. But try the most gray
haired piece of "phoney" work on him,
and he'll not merely nibble, but will swal
low the bait at a gulp.
Sadly the victims of Mr. Cohen are re
alizing this fact But they can't find
Louie, for he loft town late Thursday
night or early Friday morning.
So the confident persons who trusted
their good money to Mr. Cohen are now
putting In their time looking up other
victims and comparing notes. That's all
the consolation they can get
Cohen was the bookmaker; "Ben Hur"
was the favorite. But tho favorite didn't
win that time, though the bookmaker
did.

Different Sorts of ''Secession."
Letter to the New York Tribune.
Many sincere, conservative and patri
otlo Americans find, as they think, an
analogy between the case of Colombia
and that of the United States at the out
set of our Civil War, The case of Co
lombia and Panama is by no means analo
gous, unless it be merely in regard to dip
lomatic customs and courtesies. Colombia
is no lsng established national union. It
is a loose-Jointed confederation of states
much given to revolutions. They unite,
disintegrate, reunite and rearrange them
selves under different names in the prog
ress of their frequent civil discords. Pan
ama is not seekfag to overthrow the
Colombian government She is only re
asserting her own natural rights to be
free from tyranny and blackmail. She
offers In good faith and with ample
powers to help us carry out the great
scheme of an isthmian canal, well know
ing that it -$vni he a priceless boon to the
world's commerce and a lasting benefit to
every South American republic, including
Colombia herself, as Is attested by the de-

The true analogy in the ease of Panama
is that of 6ther young republics seeking to
become independent of the corrupt mis
government at the central capital ..which
has stifled tho energies and liberties of the
people; Our recognition of them has al--ways
been prompt and speedy. -The
French republics, tha Spanish republic
and the various South American republics
were recognized first, "de facto," then
"do Jure'' as soon as they could demon
strate tho existence of a stable govern
ment But even if wo should grant that the
critics are right and that their analogy
holds, and that we have been -too hasty
In recognizing, what then? Tha new re
public is an accomplished fact acknowl
edged by our own and other governments.
Are we now to again postpone the build
ing of the canal? And if so, what better
time and way to build it are we to wait
for? FREDERICK W. SEWARD.
PLUCKY GIRL EEP0BTEE.
Dowle Tried to Bully Her, but He
- Failed.
Collier's Weekly.
Not tho least Interesting feature of the
Dowle episode was the "attitude of un-
flinching self-restraint in tho faco of ex
treme provocation maintained by the
newspaper representatives at Madison
Square Garden, New York. The new Eli
jah spent many hours in pouring calumni
ation and abuse, not at the press in gen
eral, but at the individuals seated within
a few feet of him. They were called
"cur3" and "yellow dogs" and "gutter
rats" and "stink pots" not to mention
epithets too vulgar to be repeated in print
while the raving prophet pointed them
out ono by one, with a scornful finger.
They -were young, these men and wom
en, who had to undergo that almost
unique ordeal young, and high-spirited,
and anything but cowardly. Yet they
bore It all in self-possessed silence, be
traying only by a deeper blush on the
cheek or a half-disdainful, half-amused
smile that they were conscious of the
volleys of vituperation aimed at their
heads. Once only did a member of their
band turn and "talk back" in self-defence.
There wero no witnesses to that scene,
however. The attack was personal and
unexampled In Its vlclousness. A man
made It and the object of it was a woman
young, refined, of good family, and rep
resenting on this occasion ono of the
cleanest and ablest dallies in the city. In
spite of a watchfulness and vindictlve
ness on the part of the Zionists which
compelled two or three of her male col
leagues to seek safety In flight after hav
ing already hid among the seekers for
health, she was able to attend, unde
tected, the first meeting behind locked
doors, at which tho possibility of "di
vine healing" was to be demonstrated.
On leaving she was discovered by one of
Dowle's lieutenants.
"Do you mean to write anything about
this?" ho demanded. "If you do, you'll
regret It"
"I'll write everything I'vo seen and
heard," was the unhesitating reply. "The
whole thing Is a humbug, and no threat
of yours can keep mo from telling the
truth to the public."
"Well, then" the man paused as If to
give more weight to his words. "Listen
the Great Overseer is on to youn Ho has
looked up your record and he knows more
about you than you think more than you
would like to have him know."
"What moro of It?" rejoined the young
woman. "I havo lived In the open day all
my life. I don't think myself better than
other men and women, but I know there
is nothing In my life to hide or be afraid
of."
"You'll see tonight" the Zionist went
on, shaking his finger at her. "If you
don't promise right here to quit writing
about us, the Great Overseer will expose
you tonight in open meeting. The whole
city will know wnat we knpw about you."
"And listen," the young woman re
torted, her eyes ablaze. "Tell the Great
Overseer from me, that if he dare to ut
ter a single He about me. If he make the
slightest effort to attack my character,
there will be a dead prophet in this city
tonight"
The man In front of her gasped and took
a step backward. "Mr, Dowle Is sur
rounded by detectives," he faltered at
last
"I'll reach him In spite of them."
For a while the two antagonists looked
hard at each other, as if each of them
was trying to gauge the other one's re
8olvo.The man was the first ono to
break the silence.
"God Almighty protects the Great Over
seer," he remarked with fervor.
"Never," the young woman cried pas
sionately, "never yet did God Almighty
protect a slanderer of women!"
With that she turned on her heel and
walked away, leaving the Zionist speech
less behind. That evening Dowle showed
an unwonted moderation In his refer
ences to the newspaper men. The young
woman's story appeared next morning.
It told the truth. But even its disclos
ures did not make Dowlo resumo his ven
omous onslaughts on the press. Tho
sting seemed to have been taken out of
his tongue. Only a few members of the
craft were In a position to guess the rea
son for his change of attitude. One of
those who knew said In explanation of tho
matter: "He lost his backbone, that's all
there was to It That little woman threw
a bad scare Into him bless her soul!"
JOY COSTS MONEY.
C. L. Eastman Buys Much Amuse
ment and More Experience.
C Lu Eastman, of Colfax, Wash., saw
Portland's bowery Friday night It was
his first night In the city, and he did have
Jots of fun, but upon awakening yester
day morning he found that he had neither
money nor Jewelry. HI3 greatest loss was
a handsome gold watch, which be values
highly. Ho also lost some $50 in money,
but stated last night that ho would read
ily pay tho money for the lesson if he
could only get his watch back.
As soon as Eastman arrived In the
city he started to drinking. Ho had en
gaged rooms on Seventh street, but lus
thoughts were far from going to bed. Af
ter ho was well intoxicated he went to
the Badger saloon. While there he com
menced to buy wino at $5 per bottle, and
his stock of cash lasted quicks
"I will pawn my watch," ho said, "for
another bottle. I am not sure that I can
find my room alone, but if you will send
some one with ma I will get some moro
money and take the watch back."
Eastman had already revealed the fact
that ho was a plasterer by trade, and
one of the men who hang around tho sa
loon stepped up and informed him that
ho was a fellow tradesman.
"I will go to your room with you," he
said.
Together they went to tha room, and
Eastman wished to tako all of his money
along. The newly made friend adviseahlm
to leave part of It behind, and he only
took $20. After the $20 was gone he was
again taken to his room and put to bed.
He does not remember who went with
him, but this morning the money he had
left In the room, tho money he had taken
with him, his watch, and every article
of value he possessed, were missing.

ulation that Is now in the air to such a
degree that the old theologies aro Infected
by. it and are inclined to respect natural
religion a little, as possibly holding some
thing of value as a background for what
Is called revealed religion. Here, for ex
ample, was Dr. F. L. Patton saying at
his inauguration as president of Prince
ton Theological Seminary that a mistake
has been made In decrying natural re
ligion; that revealed religion rests upon
it, its existence latent In Nature being
manifested in Christ and Christ, there
fore, going on to be the fruit and con
summation of the native germ implanted
In the spirit of man This is an ad
vancenot indeed, oit-6t Francis, of
Assisl, who received into his tender
heart the true religion' of the living
earth and all Its creatures but on the
dogmas of Puritan Calvinism, rooted in
the idea that the earth was under a
curse and the nature of man desper
ately corrupt and hopeless except for re
deeming grace exercised toward the elect
No New Englander past middle age but
remembers bow in hlslyouth natural re
ligion was stigmatize as of the devil,
and Emerson's worsbp, as broad as all
the universes, was regarded as blas
phemy for presenting any other "way of
knowing God except through the vicarious
sacrifice of His Son on the cross. Presi
dent Patton's advance Is but partial,
hut considering what the Presbyterian
confession of faith has to say, it is worth
noticing.
"Out of the heart of Nature rolled the
burden of tho Bibles old," and into the
heart of Nature men are now seeking for
hints of what may lead to explication of
mysteries of vision and promise in the
Scriptures. Such a search is made by Mr.
Hallock, who is known to and knows
forest and stream, both with capitals
and without He says: "The thought that
the body of tho futuro life may bo elec
trical was suggested by the wireless
message and the flight of the angel Ga
briel, as mentioned In Daniel lx:2L" It
Is, ho says, beyond tho mental scope of
man, but yet the Scriptures "seem to
support the postulate In a startling man
ner." Ho goes on to cite the phenomena
associated with the life of Christ; tho
speculations of "Paul In I Corinthians, xv,
on tho nature of the spiritual body
"which is to traverse celestial space
after its transformation at the putative
resurrection, but psychology was a crudo
study in Paul's day, and his exposition
doe3 not satisfy." From the transfigura
tion on the mount from tho visitations
of angels (Gabriel, Raphael, Michael, and
othera unnamed), it is found that lu
minosity, even to dazzling effulgence,
appearing and vanishing at will, are
characteristics; that obstacles did not In
tercept their passage or their vision, or
distance limit their sight or hearing;
and the appearances of Christ after His
carnal body had been discarded, In which
Ho walked on the water, was caught up
in the air, appeared and vanished at will
and other such manifestations of extra
ordinary power all argue that there Is
something indicated as to the futuro
body.
It is asked, therefore: "Wero not these
phenomena purely electrical? Was not
His new body an electrical body adapted
to the realm of Infinitude? The idea is
not preposterous. Modern science has
discovered that electricity Is not matter."
Mr. Hallock queries this last clause, and.
Indeed, It is the ether of which it Is said
that it possesses none of the attributes of
matter; electricity ha3 not yet been so
described, but It has been regarded
rather as a mode of motion In the ether,
like heat and light all of which, to bo
sure, may be only various phases of tho
same force. But the suggestion Is en
tirely within the lines of modern scien
tific thought It Is held even now that
we are passing Into what may be termed
the electrical age, and many develop
ited means, that a great number of such
people shall profit by his success.
MILLIONS IN THIS INVENTION.
The earning possibilities for the stock
holders are enormous and will make rich
men of them. Tho large number of
airships required by the government as a
means of coast defense, will keep the com
pany busy in their manufacture for many
years and pay largo dividends to Its stock
holders. The 5100,000 prize offered by the
St Louis Exposition, Is easily within hi3
grasp, and the earnings from Its exhibition
will still further increase this revenue by
many thousands of dollars In the next
year.
DISCOVERY OF THE NORTH POLE
POSSIBLE.
Dr. Greth, the inventor, Is a modest sort
of man personally. He Is not the typical
airship crank, for he refrained from talk
ing In advance of his performance. Now
that he has succeeded, he is anxious to
k ,.of ..the future. "That my airships
will ha the means of rapid transportation
In tho future goes almost without saying.
One hundred miles an hour are within its
possibilities. There is no doubt but that
airships will be as common as automobiles
within the next five years, and Inacces
ments which perplex us may find their
solution In this fact The discussion of
the phenomena of "Christ's resurrected
body," which Mr. Hallock makes, Is very
Interesting, and the paper may be recom
mended as a stimulating contribution to
thought on the great riddle, which each
ono of us expects to solve for himself.
