THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 9, 1908. 5 PADEREWSKI IS A MAN OF THE WORLD . Great Musician Is Not Effeminate Nor a Dreamer, but a Man of Flesh and Blood. PROBABLY one of the most Inter ng personages among the musi cians who wllil visit thia city this season Is Ignace Paderewskl. A shake from the strong ritfht hand of Pader ewskl dissipates all previous notions of any physical weakness. The fore most pianist of the age Is not a dream man. nor Is he a mere pulse. His grasp would be a fortune to a politi cian, and his manner would make dis tinction for a diplomat. Most decidedly he is of this world. lie is a man of It. and witty. We dare say he Is witty In five languages, for he commands that many, liut he talks one at a time, and never loaves it without a cue. He talks In level parngraphs unscarred there are no italics. Padcrcwski upon the unlit concert stage is Jtot more Impressive than when you see him in the parlor of the hotel, or In his private car, and when you separate him from his music, he impresses you probahly as a man of big bones, and a strong nervousness and magnetism. The pink hair of the recital stage beccomes almost auburn In the light it the morning;, and it Is loose rather than long; it scrambles waywardly all over the head and half over the ears, whllo an echo of lt'falls on the upper lip. Away from the dress suit of evening, the morning clothes cover, him like a well-ordered citizen, and you realize that you have lost the musician, but you have foimd the man. He makes you feel at home and puts you at ease; he is a real host, so delightfully dif ferent from what you have expected. You anticipated an older man. but then you must remember he began early in this rustling, bustling musical world. He Is interested in music to a great degree; he wants to know about your orchestras, your composers, your man agers, your theater orchestras, your cafe orchestras. He Is looking for in formation concerning America and its people. He is looking for the eountrjy that pays the money for what? Im ported music, when they should have a music of their own; but a-il these Items of Interest, all these questions and answers, will be more fully under stood when you meet Paderewskl dur ing his forthcoming visit to this city, and know him not only as a musician, but as a man as well. The Great ' Western Musical Bureau, through our local managers Is! intro ducing Paderewskl to this public for the first time sin-ce he began to visit the Pacific Coast. Paderewskl will be heard in a mHMl:sm - . v ' it -X - X v ; I i ' v : I " - ! . - x j I . . " V i Krf:7-iiAA.. xtoMMbtiirtrhKMilfim&rto-. amni'iiHii'nMnniini!

LIVES IN CHARNEL HOUSE Girl Cooks and Sleeps In Koom With 1)011 Body. BERLIN', Feb. 8. (Special.) A gris ly tragedy has come to light at Lieip sig. Since November 17 nothing has been seen of a bookseller named Paul Giegler. who had a business in the Gosolienstrasse. A young woman named Minna Doell, who lived with him. at first Informed the Inquiring neighbors and relations that he was traveling in Italy, but later altered this version to the indiscreet state ment that he was in a Vienna hospital. Investigations In the Austrian capital failed to reveal any trace of the miss ing man, and heightened the already aroused suspicions of those connected with him. On Saturday last they decided to attempt forcible entrance to his dwell ing. Before, however, thoy had got the door open tho Doell girl Jumped from the window and took to her licels. The place was searched on Sunday by the police, who found Gieg ler'a corpse hidden beneath the tidily arranged covering of a bed. Tiie body was liv an advanced state of de composition, and was discolored al most to blackness, but It still bore un mistakable signs of violent strangula tion, it was evident that the girl had cooked and slept in the same room with the dead man. She had made oft with $2500, but has since been arrested at Halle. SELL KAISER POSTAL CARDS Pictures Drawn by German Emperor Reproduced for Charity. BERLIN'. Feb. 8. (Special.) Three picture postcards by the hand of the Emperor have just been published In a seri( planned by the late Queen Carola of Saxony, In aid of the con sumptive poor. One is a reproduction of a picture of a sea battle painted in 1805. Then there are two scenic de signs for the Burggraf of Nuremberg tower, in romance style, signed "Wil lielm R. I., architect. 4-7-1893," and a couple of designs for regatta prizes. All bear autographic descriptions by Hi Majesty. Large orders for these cards are said to have been received from' England. Another proof of the Emperor's many-sided activity will shortly be laid before the German public in the form of photographs of CorTe Castle, taken by His Majesty during his recent residence in England. They are to be shown on a screen at a lecture by the architect, Bodo Ebhardt, on English and German castles. great Importance also. Hitherto the club license liaji been merely a registration fee a mere nominal sum. In future, if the licensing proposals which are now being drafted are carried into law, the rates to be levied will be much on the same lines as the present rates for ordinary public houses That Is, it will be a sliding scale of charges, ac cording to the valuation. In most of the big clubs, the business done In the drink line is on a par with almost the or dinary trade, and in many cases in the purely social clubs, particularly many of the so-called workingmen's clubs, it far exceeds the sales In very many of the public houses. A large amount of revenue will be tapped In this way. KING PLEASED WITH ORDER AVIH Prevent Repetition of "Beres-ford-Scott Scandal." LONDON. Feb. 8. (Special.) At the council which the King held at Bucking ham Palace on January 28, his Majesty signified his formal approval of an admir alty order which will prevent any repe tition of the foolish, mischievous and very undignified proceedings at Portland in connection with the so-called "Beresford Scott scandal." The King is said to have been much annoyed at what then took place, and is believed to have suggested the order In council for which the Lords of Admiralty applied. This order was added to the of ficial code of King's instructions and ad miralty regulations. PARIS ART AMATEUR DEAD Camille Groult Guarded Treasures With Great Zeal. PARIS. Feb. 8. (Special.)

Having promised hi servant girl $9. a month when her child was born, a doctor at Ncuilly refused to pay more when twins appeared. In the court the girl's lawyer likened the dactor to tho sportsman who blinds a gamekeeper In one eye, for which he has to give the man a pension. Afterward the gamekeeper, owing to the Injury spreading, becomes totally blind, but fnircly, asked the lawyer, the. sports man does not expect to set off at the name cost for one eye 'as for two. Kor the doctor, it was contended that French law recognized no liability of the father in such a case. He had agreed to pay the girl $9 monthly to help her with the burden a child entailed, but did not bargain to have to pay for twine. The accident of birth was no reason why he should pay twice $9. as contended by the mother. The judges adjourned their decision.
