unswerving adherence to the highest
Ideals and hia rare genStia for captivating;

them with an Intelligent appreciation of
the great masterpieces of music, ahould
be willing to travel milee away from
the American metropolis in order to sat
isfy the musical hunger of the people of
1'ortland. Yet this Is what ia promised.
Few events that have occurred In the
musical history of Portland have aroused
a like amount of enthusiasm, for this
great orchestra holds a high place in
public esteem as one- of the two greatest
American orchestras this country can
beaut. The greatest masterpieces of mu
mU al literature w hich have ao long been
denied ur will now be heard, rendered by
artists of firat rank, under the baton of
a great conductor, whose reputation la
world-wide.
M'ho that heard David Biapham sing
"Danny Deever' In Portland some years
ago, will ever forget it ? Damrosch's
dramatic fire is shown by this wonderful
little song, which shows bow great he
might become as a composer, had he
time to turn his talent in that direction.
Damrosch liked Kipling's poem. He
wisely waited until he was in the proper
mood for it, and then caught the atmos
phere to perfection. This song has sold
to the drumbeat of 20,000 copies. In addi
tion to this, Damrosvh has produced at
least two other really great works an
American opera on Hawthorne's "Scarlet
Letter." which proved a success, and a
beautiful Miinila Te Deum, which he
wrote in honor of Dewey's victory. But
he, keeps himself and his own Work in
the background, preferring to bring for
ward other composers.
The coming of Damrosch and the New
York Symphdny Orchestra will be pre
eminently the crowning attraction of the
Rose Festival. The concerts will take
place In the Armory, Wednesday even-

scribers served were Colonel White .and
Colonel Fresh. '
The funeral services, held Friday after
noon, were conducted by Mr. Beai's warm
friend of 40 .years, William R. Bishop,
who spoke a few simple words, in com

lew hours previous to his passing away
and in the midst of mortal pain,
he feebly conversed on current topics
with a caller.
Mr. Beal was the first Individual to
build a residence on the site of Council

This orchard was planted by Mr. Beal
after he had purchased 40 acres of land
from Mr. Talbcrt.
Admitted to the bar at Munclc. Ind.,
in ISd'J, he practiced law on and oft for
half a eentury, whs Clerk of Court and
it was his prideful boast In his lifetime
that he had "never been censured, repri

never oppressed anyone. Ho was mem

TVs Moines, la., and was elected and
nerved in that body for six years. He
helped organise several counties of Iowa
and had a leading and influential part
in instituting the new state's govern

to an interesting change in his political
views and opinions in Portland, to which
place he came by ox-team in 1SK2. He
pointed out, with prophetic eye the sites
of now hustling1 cities,
"I came to the conclusion." Mr. Beal
once said, "that we had a Nation, and
not a contract government or a con
federacy not a conglomeration of sov

Mr, Beal was associated In law prac

and his reminiscences of former days and
the causes in the courts were enlivened,
in the telling, with much keen satire and
humor. At one time Mr. Beal was the
head of the then general movement for
the organization of the temperance forces
into Good Templar Lodges.
Born in in the swamps of Indiana.
Mr. Heal found a few of the first rocky
steps to learning and advancement by
raking cranberries and catching coons in
the Winter season, from the proceeds of
which (75 cents net), and five books in

the seminary bell sounded to the young
aspirant for knowledge "like celestial

Eat Hot Cross Buns on
Good Friday
MImb Ttngrle Gives Recipes for Cakes
Which Are Associated With the
Approaching Holidays.
BY LILIAN TINGLE.
THERE Is an old tradition, which Is
still credited in some places, that
anyone who falls to eat a hot
cross bun on Good Friday -is likely to
have his house burned down during the
coming year. Or, if not, he is likely
to die in mortal sin. Consequently,
those who do not wish to suffer by 'fire,
either here or hereafter, are careful to
eat as many buns as possible and take
the minor risks of Indigestion.
But even without the stimulus of
superstition, hot cross buns are decid
edly good eating, and perhaps some
housekeepers may be interested In try
ing the following favorite old recipe
for them: 1 cup scalded milk, 1-3 cup
butter, 1-3 cup sugar, 1 yeast cake dis
solved in H cup lukewarm water,
teaspoon salt. cup raisins, stoned
and quartered, 1 teaspoon mixed spices,
flour to knead to a good dough.
Of course the yeast cake is a mod
ern Innovation, replacing the "barm"
or "leaven" of the original directions.
Add to the milk, the salt and half
the sugar; when lukewarm add the dis
solved yeast cake and about one and
one-half cups of flour; cover; let rise
until light;, then beat in the butter
(creamed or melted), the remaining
sugar, raisins, and spice, and add flour
until the dough Is no longer sticky. Let
rise to double its bulk; shape into small
round cakes; let rise again to double
in bulk; when half risen, mark with
a cross, using the back of a knife
blade. Brush with beaten egg and
milk, or sugar and milk, an,d bake in
a rather quick oven.
If you are 'not quite sure what the
last expression means, you can test
the heat by placing a spoonful of flour
on a piece of paper In the oven. If
it begins to brown round the edges
In three minutes the heat is probably
about right for the buns.
Another good formula is as follows:
1 cup scalded milk, Vt cup sugar, 2
tablespoons butter, teaspoon salt,
a yeast cake, dissolved In 'A cup luke
warm water, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 3
cups flour, 1 egg, cup currants
(washed and dried).
Add the butter, sugar and salt to the
milk. When lukewarm add the
dissolved yeast cake, flour, spice and
well beaten egg; mix thoroughly, then
add the currants; cover and let rise
over night; in the morning shape in
round biscuits; place them on a baking
tin, one inch apart; let rise to double
in bulk, then mark and glaze as al
ready described. The marking of the
cross with a knife is undoubtedly the
oldest method, but in some places
"cross buns" are not recognized as such
unless they are marked with a white
cross made of narrow strips of ordi
nary pastry, applied to the bun after
the glazing with egg.
In other places the cross is simply
marked with a piping of ornamental
frosting. This method Is approved of
by children, but not by antiquarians.
Many traditional recipes call for
honey Instead of sugar.
...
Another, though less ancient, historic
cake, associated with the season is the
imnel."
There are several kinds of Simnel
cakes, the best known being eaten on
"Mid-Lent" or "Mothering" Sunday.
There is, however, the "Easter Sim
nel," or "Flat Cake," which is proper
to Easter Sunday and Monday. For
the latter take: 1 pound flour, '4

the decorating of these or other cakes.
Everyone knows that modern Easter
cakes, both large and small, are quite
usually decorated with pale green
frosting. Of course green is a suitable
Spring color, but that Is not the only
explanation.
Have you ever heard of the "tansy
cakes," for which in medieval days
people and priests used to play ball in
church on Easter Day?
These "tansies" were colored green,
and were the ancestors of the pretty
things now seen at Easter luncheons.
Here is a tansy recipe that is several
hundred years old, and has a delicious
and flattering vagueness in its lnstruc
tions. To make a tansy cake for
Eastertyde, beat six eggs with four or
Ave spoonfuls of flour; mix with them
a mutchkin of sweet cream or new
milk; sweeten it to your taste; season
it with some nutmeg and salt; put in
as much of the juice of tansy as bitter
it to your taste, and make It green
with the Juice of spinage; mix some
oiled butter in, and cast them all well
together. You may fire it In a pan
on the top of the Are, but take care
not to burn it. You may fire it below
meat that is roasting or in an oven.
But be sure to butter the plate very
well it goes in. .In case it is fired be
low meaV, pour off all the fat befors
you send it to table. Strew sugar over
it, and so serve it up.
