THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN". PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 8, 1908. SYMPATHIZE WITH FRIENDS INSTEAD OF WITH YOURSELF "Golden Rule of Beauty" Promulgated by Statuesque Actress, Sara Perry. Or the particularly striking women of the Blag who are "pictures of health." a radiant example Is Miss 6ara Perrr. of the Paid In Full Company, which will be seen here shortly. Miss Pfrry is a St. Louis jclrl who went on the stare neither because her parents were connected with the profession nor for the reason that It was necessary to earn her own livirjr. She had a a-enulne love for the career.

In 1S0O she was a leading member of the famous Em pire Stock Company in New York, and In January of that year made a hit in "My Idya Lord." Her Mrs. Tredway In "Ixjrd and Lady Ale-y" with Jessie Hil ward as Lady Alay and Guy Standing as the Marquis of Qnambr was hifthly com mended, and she then appeared with rreat success as the Countess Napoleone Came rata with Maude Adams in "IAi(tlon."

EQUAL rights will not be recognized by Municipal Judge Van Zante. at least not so far as the smoking; of cigarettes is concerned. Mrs. -Mabel Jackson was sentenced to a term of 15 days In the City Jail Kriday morning because of having wed cigarettes. Harry E. Marshall, who was arrested In company with the woman and who also was smoking;, got off unpunished. Their arrest occurred at an early hour yesterday morning at the Mar shall home. Sixteenth and Overton streets. Marshall was entertaining a small party of friends. Patrolman fwennis was passing the place at 3 A. M.. when he wa attracted by noisy laughter and talking. He went to a window and looked In. One or two of tiie guests were already hors de com bat from drinking. Bottles were strewn freely about on -tables and chairs. But Mrs. Jackson - capacity had withstood the demands of the oc casion and she was quietly smoking a cigarette. Swennis was Immeasurably shocked. He went to the nearest telephone and communicated the picture to the Po lice Station. Captain Slover. too, was IN PORTLAND THEATERS Continued From Page 2. w-ith which to perform some of their feats. For the special added attraction there will be the Four American Trum peters, a representative military act, in which xylophone playing will be prominent. This is an act with a repu tation, and It will be found a pleasing addition to an already strong pro gramme. Phenomenal and sensational feats of strength will' be given by Hugo, one of the strongest men on a vaudeville stage. Weight-lifting and Juggling cannon and other articles are his spe cialties. An eccentric dancing oddity is promised by De Voy and the Dayton sisters. It Is an act of refined vaude ville and one which will be enjoyed, for the people are talented singers, as well as graceful dancers. The Ioleen sisters are sharpshooters who will demonstrate what girls can do with rifles and side arms. It is an net filled with daring and skill. Cora Thomas, a comedienne, who has long been a favorite in the leading vaude ville houses of the East, comes with her specialty. Introducing character changes. Fred Bauer will contribute a new illustrated ballad, and there will -be Imported motion pictures for the irardiscope. This looks as though It would be one of the best vaudeville Mils sent to the Grand In several months. TUis afternoon and tonight will he the last of the present bill, which Is headed by LI ml. the greatest female impersonator in the world. Und's cos tumes and dances are magnificent. Tom Dempsey Is the principal com edian, and there are many other attrac tive features. NOVELTY ACT AT PAXTAGES lrra. the Iron Man, Lets Auto Run Over Him. Tantages1 Theater, the house of hits, has presented more novelty acts this season than ever before. How would you like to He down In the street and let a tio-horsepower automo bile run over you. Before doing such a thing, the majority of Portland's vaude ville patrons would send an ambulance call and take a quick Inventory of their PORTLAND HIGH SCHOOL West Side. The growth of the city schools has liecessitated a further addition to the faculty of the West High. Miss Tingle las found It Impossible to carry all the work in domestic science in both the schools. Accordingly Miss Mary H.ilman has been appointed domestic ,ci-nce teacher in the West High. Miss Heilman took charge this week. She if a graduate In domestic science of the Chicago Educational School. She then spent a year In travel. She comes here from McNabb. 111., where she occupied a similar position in the schools of that citv. The patrons of the West High will remember wisi pleasure the part taken in last commencement's exercises by the Gle Club, under the direction of Mrs. Rose Coursen Reld. This year two choruses have been formed, one for the boys and one for the girls, un der the supervision of Miss Northup and Mr. Blttner. Mrs. Reld will again be the director.

It's an old one. perhaps, but worth repeating. In the first place, take life as calmly as the exigen cies of your circumstances permit. Avoid the self-pitying habit, sympathize with your friends, but don't borrow their troubles. This makes for contentment, the true inspiration and source of health." Immeasurably shocked. He said to ar rest the whole party. This was done. Marshall and Mrs. Jackson were the onlv ones to appear for trial. "I was not a guest at the place and was not drinking." Mrs. Jackson said. I am the cook at Marshall's, and was waiting up to learn If they wanted anything more cooked. It's not right to arrest the cook this way" and Mrs. Jackson sniffled Into her handker chief. "How was she dressed at the time?" the Judge asked. "Decollete." replied the officer. "And you say she was smoking- cig arettes 7" "Vessir, I saw It plain enough." "Well, cooks don't wear party dresses and smoke cigarettes," said the Judge. "A decent cook would shud der at the thought. These things may be . condoned by -certain classes, but they are to be discouraged. I think Mrs. Jackson had best serve fifteen days. There doesn't seem to be any thing to hold Marshall for, and he will be discharged." Mrs. Jackson had a fit of violent weeping. An effort will be made to have her term of sentence suspended pending her reformation of the'tobacco habit. finances to find If they could afford a lengthy sojourn in a hospital. It is just such a stunt as this, however, which forms" the top-line' feature at the Pan tages Theater this week, beginning with the usual matinee tomorrow afternoon. Ferra. the strong man, or as he is billed, the Iron Man. may be depended upon to furnish the sensation of the bill this coming week, when he allows a 60 horsepower touring car to run over him. the auto to be filled with passengers at the time. Ferra is a young man a little over 21 years- of age. He was former ly a student at Princeton and it Is to his remarkable athletic training that he owes his present unusual muscular de velopment. Finks' performing mules are, the spe cial added attraction which will prove, according to the managers and press agents over the circuit, one of the big gest comedy sensations in months. The mules are well trained and do some re markable stunts, such as bag punching, etc.- In the comedy the mules are as sisted by two black-faced comedians. The act will prove to be the biggest laugh ing hits of the season. The chief musical feature of the bill will be the Three Whittman Sisters and Willie Robinson. The company presents a musical sketch known as Plantation Pastimes. The act consists of plantation melodies, dancing and music on banjos and organ. The pickaninny Is said to be the big comedy feature of the act. The Van Brothers are advertised as the two musical comedians this team presents an original comedy sketch with singing and dancing introduced between the lines. Fred H. Graham. Nellie Dent A Com pany will present a lively farce' com edy entitled "Packing l'p." this sketch has been winning much favorable comment all over the circuit: it is one of those European acts and the per formers have Mattering press notices from the leading London papers. The plav deals with an absent-minded man's attempt to pack his trunk for his Summer vacation. Jean Wilson will sing the illustrated song and the hlograph will present the very latest In motion photography. Today will be your last chance to see the present bill of American and European novelty acts headed by Shepp's Dog. Pony and Monkey circus and the greatest musical act in Amer ica. Klein. Ott Bros. & Nlckelson. that the lnterscholastlc games can be played on Saturdays. The second team has played its part well, and now it Is getting ambitious to do things for itself. Manager Everette Peterson and Captain Holden have ar ranged games with the Trade School, Pa cific University second team and the deaf mutes of Vancouver. The second number of the Cardinal has appeared. Barring careless proofreading, the general opinion is the staff need not be ashamed of its efforts. The attempts of verse are said to be creditable enough for high school students. A double stansa. entitled "Thoughts by the Sea." by R. M. S., both in meter and in senti ment, points a contrast between the calm and angry moods of that element. In the way of stories, another nature story and two from school life are given. The for mer, by E. N. P.. details how a mountain goat saved its head from a grizzly. The conceit is well worked out. The societies met as usual Friday after noon. The Adelphians took their visitors on an excursion through the slums of New York. Miss Everson presented the problem of the immigrant. Miss Coleman gave a resume of social progress. Miss Hmhree look up "Housing of the Poor." The programme closed with a debate. "Resolved. That vagrants should be com pelled to labor on rublic. works." Eliza beth Bosch and Adolph Una supported the affirmative, the Misses Clemens and McCorkle the negative. - The latter.were awarded the decision. , The following members were initiated: Harry Doing, William Lai. Rose Pickering. The Philolexlans took up the topic. "China.." Carolyn Friendly told how the slumherer of the East was awakening from his lethargy. Then followed a de bate. "Resolved. That the United States. Japan and England should form an alli ance for the purpose of controlling Chi nese trade." Ada May Bigger and Jeane Wolverton held to the affirmative. Nellie Hemenway and Catherine Wurtenberger to the negative. The former won the de cision. Eva Magtiire closed with a reel-, tatiorf of Kipling's "Recessional." The following are recent additions to the bo cletv: Eva Roach. Sadie Williams. Janet Morris. Bonnie Hetherington. Bessie An derson. I-la Shinaberger. Helen Gebbie. Bertie Chan. Laurette Hawley. Mabel Francis. Caloma Wasrnon. Eunice Town send. Florence Blumauer. Judith Bern stein. After several enthusiastic . meetings .the members of the commercial department have organized a society called the "Modo." They purpose learning how to do things, especially In the way of par liamentary law and commercial usages. They completed the organization Friday by adopting a constitution and by-laws and electing officers. These are: Presi dent. Queen Swanson: vice-president, Wilbur Houston: secretary and treasurer. Lena Beckett: sergeant-at-arms, Earl Hammond: editor. Tom Hudson. B. O. AUen supervises the society for the fac ulty. The ' Tologelons had no regular pro gramme 'this week. The present trend of events shows an ever-widening scope-In the function of the high school. The latest development Is the opening of a night "high school in the West High. There are large begin ning classes in English, algebra and Latin. A class in German will probably soon be organized. Mr. Henderson Is principal of the night high school. Messrs. Hayes and Scott, of the day school' fac ulty, have charge of the classes. Another evidence of the adaptation of the high school to modern requirements is shown In the establishment of a com mercial department. The course covers four years. Three options are open to the prospective student: First, he may choose a commercial course. This covers such business subjects as bookkeeping, commercial geogriphy. commercial and parliamentary law. and history of com merce, with heavy requirements In math ematics, science. English and history. The second course requires shorthand and typewriting. The other subjects are as above. The third option admits of full courses In both bookkeeping and short hand, with less work In the ordinary high school branches. A feature of these courses Is ihat three-terms of regular English work. Including a stiff course in spelling and correspondence. Is required before shorthand Is taken up. The type writing department is equipped with 10 first-class machines. Both the visible and blind types are In use. The course has been prepared by H. W. Herron. head of the department. He took as a basis the report prepared by a committee of the National Education Association, com posed of business college, high school and university men. They took three years for deliberation, and their findings, em bodied In a report, have been worked up into the courses presented to the patrons of the district by the school authorities. Mr. Kerron's coadjutors In the Work are Messrs. K. O. Allen and Burton . A. O'Mealy. . Both are men of muc,h training and wide experience. CITY NEEDS M0RE WATER Salcni Business Men Take" Steps to Secure Increased Supply.- SALEM. Or., - Nov. 7. Special.) At a meeting of Salem business men this evening, action was taken with a view to securing a supply of mountain water for Salem. About 15 speeches were made and all pointed to the ne cessity for this step to meet the re quirements of this rapidly growing city. It was the concensus of opinion that a committee of citizens should be ap pointed to investigate the subject thoroughly and report back with rec ommendations as to procedure. The' following named gentlemen were ap pointed as such committee: Dr. W. B. Morse. W. J. Culver, E. T. Barnes, A, F. Hofer. Thomas M. Barr, H. W. Meyers, C. L. McNary and August Huckestein.

The first English continental colony to buy negro slaves was AMrginia where In 1619 a Dutch ship of war sold some In exchance for provisions. Elijah Parish. Lovejoy, Presbyterian minister, early in the '30s established in St. Louis an antislavery paper called the Ohserver. Being threatened by mob violences he removed his paper to Alton, 111., in 1S36. His press was destroyed by mobs three times in one year; yet he procured a fourth one and while he was setting It up, his office was attacked by a mob. composed mostly of Missourians. Lovejoy was killed, five bullets piercing his body. For further information on slavery in the United States, we commend Greeley's "American Conflict." LIKE TO DECEIVE PUBLIC Parisians Hit Upon Sew Method of Advertising Their Goods. PARIS. Nov. 7. (Special.) Parisians never care very much for display , ad vertisements In newspapers and prefer advertising In the columns of the pa per where the news Is. But recently a form of advertisement has come Into fashion which is as ingenious as an advertisement can be. The best ex planation of what it is will be a sam ple, to-wlt: "The text of the autograph letter sent by the Emperor of Austria to the French Government will not, of course, be published," telegraphs our Vienna correspondent, "but I state upon high authority that the letter was written with a T. B. Q. fountain pen." There Is no end to the ingenuity with which these advertisements are hidden, and one reads them for that reason, because, until one has read them quite through, It is most unlikely that one has' guessed what they are. For Instance, some time ago, during the visit of the King of Spain to Paris, the following appeared in several of the Paris papers: "There was an Immense crowd at STAR 5496; A 1496 EASTERN ROAD ATTRACTIONS Matinee, Nov. 8tn, '08 The.
