FIDDLERS OF AN. OLDEN TIME
TO HOLD MELODIOUS REUNION
Pioneer Performers With Bow and String Enter Competition for Prizes
During Unique Convention at The Oaks.
UNIQUE in the annals of conven
tions In this city Is the gathering
of "old-time fiddlers.- which will
be held at The Oaks next Saturday
afternoon. ' Incidentally, the contest
for scientific or musical points is de
veloping some amusing things over
which Manager Freeman is chuckling.
They will, he says, make affairs inter
estlng for everybody and exceedingly
perplexing for him.
"Are you going to, furnish an ac
companist for the players?" is a.fre
quent ouestion put to the park man
ager. "Most assuredly." is the answer.
But when two or three accompanists
were approached on the subject-and
shown the specifications of the job
they hurriedly and agitatedly took
leave. Who. of the moderns, ever heard
of such stuff as "Ten Miles From
"Whisky." "Soap Suds Over the Fence,"..
"North River on Fire," "Lake Erie, or
Perry's Victory." "Sugar In the Gourd?"
Suppose you ask for piano copy of
"Merry Nestucca Girls." what do you
suppose the clerk knows about that?
. The famous U. P. Chase, or Union Pa
cific Sam. the author-fiddler, composer
einger. who lives a simple, retired life
out on the East Side, has been invited
to attend. However, the question has
keen raised as to whether be is in the
amateur class yet. It goes without say
ing that he is Quite willing to be slated
In the professional class, or In a class
by himself, or in any other old way,
6am says, so long as he is wanted. He
will meet all comers with repartee. Jin
gles quips and bow and string and bar
no kind of hold. He will be there with
all his neighbors and friends and is ex
pected to furnish the climax of the en
tertainment of the afternoon programme.
Old Tunes on Tap.
Imagine a patriarch from the hills
turning to the pianist and ordering him
or her to run over that well-known thing
called "The Prusslc Acid Reel." An
here's another who writes that he will
have for his little offering that stirring
little pastoral. "The Cows Are in the
Corn." and then follows that up by
saying. "Hope, of course, you'll have
an accompanist."
D. C. Bowers, of this clt. says he Is
a pioneer of 1S52 and that he can play
"Ten Miles From Whisky." "Merry
Nestucca Girls" and then some. Joseph
I Keffer. William W. Gossett. A. Palmi
ter. A. J. Huston. M. D. Ford and a
number of other old-time residents about
town, now engaged In practicing up and
rosining their strings, are working up
considerable enthusiasm about the
meeting. And as to whether it's to be
a genuine, blown-ln-the-bottle, sure
enough fiddlers' contest, with- no make
believe about It. the worthy secretary of
the Oregon Historical Society, George H.
Hlmea. has given the stamp of authen
ticity to the proposed contestants. He
certifies to "who's who and what's
what."
The first prixes will probably be given
by the board of Judges, who are to be
well-posted pioneers themselves, to (1)
the oldest fiddler, (2) the best player. (3)
and the most graceful player. Then
there will be a dozen more prize medals
for the. oonsolation class, so everybody
will be happy.
Hark Back to Olden Days.
How the sound of the old jigs and
reels will stir memory of lamp and lan
tern light upon the rough floor, where
red-cheeked girls and lusty boys of the
days gone by whirled and schottisched,
shouted and sang. Joined hands and cir
cled about, having the time of their
lives until the gray light of dawn
shamed the red-glowing lanterns and
lamps and sent them all home.
All contestants are to be given a
chance to display their talent and it
looks as if there will he a lengthy pro
gramme, as the repertoire of each player
Is apt to include several old-time tunes
worth hearing. Most of the old fiddlers
corn music, as it is written. The char
acteristic manner in which the typical
old-timer starts In Is by taking a huge
chew of tobacco, while he lovingly
thumbs the strings and "tunes her up"
a bit. Then he looks over the ceiling as
If spying for a cue written up there
somewhere. Then he squints and racks
his mind for the first note. "Let's see."
be says, "now how does that thing start
off er something like this If I remem
ber Just right." Then he strikes up.
First three or four times he hits it wrong
on some note. The old-timer looks puz
zled. If not a trifle ashamed. " He thinks
that his Integrity Is challenged. His
eyes present an absent look Eureka
now he has It! Zum-zum-cum rummy
zee! "I knowed I'd ketch it!" he observes

DONALD BOWLES WRITES ABOUT
"THE SERVANT IN THE HOUSE;
Portland Actor's Estimate of Play and of Henry Miller Published in
Dramatic Review.
THE following reverently written es
timate of Henry Miller's new mor
ality play, "The Servant In fhe
House." Is contributed to a recent num
ber of the San Francisco Dramatic Re
view. It stamps Mr. Bowles as a wrlteY
of uncommon ability and is something of
. surprise to his. friends, who were not
aware of the popular young actor's liter
ary talent. The article follows:
I cn but Inadwruately exprese the x-q-it-.it
Ucklins in my rib when I read Mr.
Miller deliriously sarcastic ryy to Mr.
Hotallnr'a offensive missive. Such condem
nation of a production that has met with
-univeraaJ approval throughout the United
States, and particularly in Mr. Hot&ilnx's
own city, weemed to me the senith of egot
Iwi. Mr. Miller la not only one of our most
-oBd-rful stage directors, but hia Ideals are
o h'rb that, like the late Richard Manefleldt
economy means ltttle to him when he has an
rustic end to attain. Mr. Hotaling'a com
ments on the mediocrity of Mr. Miller' cele
brated players Is too far fetched for serious
consideration.
This la to show In which direction my sym
pathies lie. and as a sort of apology for my
own humble criticism of "The Servant In
the House." or. to be exact, the port ray si of
lu most important character- the greatest per
sonage In the history of the Universe: the
most beloved man or God (a difference of re
- Igloos opinion) the world has ever known,
f Kir Ideal of manhood and consequently one
must admit. the moat dtAcuit role In the
world to satisfactorily realize. I understand
11 this. I understand also that I am no one
and that Mr. Miller 1 some one. My one
excuse for daring to expresa disapproval of'
vea a part of so artistic a whole - Is that
I am the son of a ones eminent Cambridge
divine, so that my ideas of our Savior mere
Instiled "in my youthful brain very clearly
and aave never wavered.
Owing to Mr. Miller's well-known courtesy,
like the bejoved Sir Henry Irving, to even
the humblest members of hup profession, I
had the pleasure of enjoying this most- artistic
production. I waa accompanied by a lady of
brajns and education. Her opinion and mine
of Mr. Hampden's portrayal of our Savior
were Identical.
First, we were offended by his appearance.
Truly an ideally nuxieled face and figure for
the Christ, but talthough the servant was an
East lndian we did not approve of the dirty,
dyspeptic complexion. He wis unhealthy to
3oofc at, a man of bilious breath whose presence
and worse, touch, would be repulsive to one.
'hrle lived out of doors. He was not a
mark or aesthete. Health radiated from
him. He healed others. This, of course,
prejudiced us against Mr. Hampden and placed
up In. perhaps, an unusually critical mood,
hence the following" possibly unjust criticism.
Mr. Hsmpden's greatest offenee, the one
that predominated through the entire per
formance, was his studrtd simplicity., or In
ether words, his lack of genuine simplicity.
CnriM preached and lived the simple life.
He was approachable; little children leaned
rom their mother's arms to receive his touch.
His followers were the humblest. He was
a man among men. Mr. Hampden had a cod
n a lordliness of manner and an occa
sional condeeoendlng smile that was appalling
to one who yearned to love the Savior. Ma
Hampden has a rich. warm. ' sympathetic
Ohrlsiltke voice; his reading, too. though a
It ttie studied, was beautiful, but the manner.
FVom the first move when he turned at the
sideboard and sailed down In a majestic yet
martyr like manner, we were shocked. He
further offended, when like a diffident lover
y telf-consclusly sat him beside the beautl
Jl young girl, much his junior, and in a
must unresponsive manner, wae compelled ap
parently . to listen to her exquisitely rendered
speeches. I felt myeelf saying, "please turn
squarely to her and look her honestly and
unaffectedly In the eyes." Again -when he
deigned to put his arm about the precocious
buttons (exceeding naturally played, by the
way) and said. "Come along. Utile comrade,"
I said to ray companion, . "Were I buttons, -I
would kick him in the shins." which cer
tainly Is not the frame of mind the author
intended I should be in.
Not once did our .savior, as depicted by Mr.
Hampden,: look one honestly and unaffectedly
In the eyes. His conception wae the cathedral
stained-glass Christ. H had three distinct
theatrical look a One, the eyes cast down
In maidenly modesty; two, rolled to Heaven
durlnsr him recitations, aa though he were
about to fly: three, a piercing look straight
into the unfortunate's eyes, whom he happened
to have a scene with, at the time, as though
he were going to annihilate him. At such
moments I expected to see him work a miracle.
But where wae the simple, unaffected human
Christ, we all love, with a personal love, which
It Is Impossible for us to feel toward the great
unfathomable Dlety he taught us of?
Again I apologize to Mr. Miller and to
Mr. Hampden, who have both attained far
greater heights than I can ever hope to reach.
Again I want to express my loathing- of
Mr. Hotal!ngs vicious tirade, but for two
weeks since. I witnessed "The Servant In the
House' the picture of our Savior has rankled
in my brain. .
PARIS TO CURB TAXICABS
Automobile Whistle Mill Sound
When Speed I Too High.
PARIS, Sept. S. (Special.) The Paris
ian taxlcabs have been causing uch a
large number of accidents during the last
few months that M. Leplne has asked for
schemes to regulate their speed. A most
Ingenious one has been suggested and will
very likely be adopted very shortly.
The scheme which was suggested by M.
Japy de Beaucourt. of the Automobile
Club, Is quite a simple one. but most ef
fective. Every taxlcab will be equipped
with a loud-sounding whistle which will
be sounded automatically whenever the
cab goes above a certain speed. The
whistle will be sealed to the taxioab In
side Paris and the octroi officials at the
gates will remove and replace it when the
taxlcab passes the fortifications.
Any taxlcab blowing its whistle will, of
necessity collect a crowd around it, and
as Benjamin Franklin said, the driver
will find that "his whistle cost him dear."

NEXT WEEK "THE DEVIL."
"Apaches" in that district indulge in their
favorite exploits with increasing- au
audacity, and i scarcely a week passes
without someone meeting- a violent death
at their hands. Generally the ylctim is
one of ,the more prominent members of
the tribe itself.
Another example of this has Just been
given. Two of the fraternity, nicknamed
"Begui" and ''Casque d'Or.V both youths
in their' teens, had long been sworn pals,
"working" ; loyally ' together and sharing
in common t.ie proceeds of many a mis
deed, until Begul at length, captured the
affections of Gelina Raton,; a gamine of
only 16, though already known through
out the quarter by the name of "Heart of
Steel." : ,
From that moment friendship gave way
to hatred. A thoughtless jibe by Celina
filled the cup and the two Apaches drew
their knives. They were, separated by the
crowd, but the duel was resumed soon
aftefat the lodgings-of Casque d'Or, who
shot his rival through the heart and then,
making his escape through a back win
dow to the roofs, ilsappeared.
DEFY LAW IN SARDINIA
Organized Bands of Brlgand9 Ter
rorize Peaceful Inhabitants.
BOMJE3. Sept. 6. (Special.) The .astound
ing prevalence " of ' lawless crime in
Sardinia by organized groups of maraud
ers and avengers, .who oftentimes turn
out to be prominent and highly-respected
a la ilautflhul In thfl iMfllnr RfllllA
newspaper under the title "Saving
Sardinia.
iA few nijrhts ago eight masked Indivi
duals armed with gruns and daggers In
vaded a farm belonging to a benevolent
proprietor named Calvisi on the moun
tainside near 8 ass art. , They seized the
shepherd watching the flocks beat him
senseless, robbed him and left him bound
and gagged. They then drove 600 sheep
delivered to his custody, a distance of
a couple of miles to a lonely valley where
they ripped open 800 of these animals and
thrust their daggers Into every one of the
rest.
Sardinia continues as from time im
memorial to hold the record In all Italy
for brutal homicide, cattle wounding, in
cendiary fires, and allied forms of dam
age to property. The criminal convic
tions for the latter crime are 4.32 In every
100.000 of the population.
In the single commune of Blttf. where
in the above vendetta mentioned has Just
taken place, no fewer than 1500 sheep and
400 bullocks have boon maliciously ham
strung since the beginning of this year.
This extraordinary state of things Is at
tributed largely to the notable deficiency
of police and t rooted unbelief in the
official, administration of justice. ,
Restores Famous Painting.
MILAN, Sept. 5. (Special.) Professor
Cavenaghl . has ' achieved a marvelous
piece of work In the restoration of Leon
ardb da Vinci's ' famous mural' painting
"The Last Supper." . By a special new
method the flakes coming off the painting
have been replaced and the whole cleared
of a veil of dust. The Professor is con
vinced that da Vinci did not use oil, but
painted in tempera and that the heads of
the figures are original, none of the re
storers having dared to touch them. The
painting will now be protected by glass.
