PREPARATIONS are. now well under
way for the big Second Annual
Musical Festival, to be given' at the
Armory in this city on the evenings of
April 30 and May 1 and 2 and the after
noons of May 1 and 2. by th.e famous
Chicago Symphony Orchestra of 60 tnu
sirlaus. under the direction of the tal
ented conductor, Ailnlph Rosenbecker,
and the Portland Kestlval Chorus, under
the leadership of Professor W. H. Boyer.
Comlnjr from the East .with this brilliant
orchestra will be the following vocal
soloists: Aida Hemml, soprano; Julia
Helnrlch. contralto; David B. Dugsan
tenor, and Frank Arthur Preisch, basso.
Included In the orchestra will be ten In

FOR all the evils the foot is- heir to.
dance. If your feet ache from over
exertion, dance. If you suffer from fiat
foot, dance. Take to the terpsichorean
art and forget your troubles. It is a
cheerful medicine and is being taken In
large doses by the girls of the Manhat
tan Trade School, where the prescrip
tion, written by Miss Mary Beagle, phys
ical instructor, is being tested, says the
New Tork Sun.
As a means of relaxation, a developer
ef grace, symmetry and strength, danc
ing la taught in many of the schools to
day. As a method of curing pedal dif
ficulties, the Idea Is Miss Beagle's. That
It is successful is Indicated by the be
. fore and after card impressions of the
a-lrls' feet.
It is the only school where the girls
are registered by the size and shape of
their feat as well as their names. Step
Into Miss Beagle's consultation room and
you will witness an uncommon sight.
Kneeling on the floor In front of one of
a score or more of bright young work
ing girls is the instructor making the
Impression of the girls' feet on paper.
This is the examination which tells
whether they are In need of special doses
of dancing or not. First the bottom of
the foot. is brushed over with a solution
of iron. Then the girl plants her feet
down' In the center of a piece of cardboard-
Next this impression is painted
over with tannin acid, which leaves the
Impression or the foot black. On the
card is registered the name of the girl,
her age and other data.
By looking at the Hist impressions and
then the succeeding prints it is possible
to tell at a glance what improvement
the girl has made. To the uneducated
eye the foot impression with no break
may seem satisfactory." On the contrarv,
the impression which shows two distinct
blotches where the ball of the foot and
the heel rested with a perfectly clean
space between Is considered better. There
is the old tradition concerning Marie
Antoinette that the arch of her foot was

MRS. KM 7. 1 It T.IB SMITH.
.NEW YORK. April 3. (Special.) Mrs. Klixur Yale Smith was
Annie Best and was regarded as one of the beauties of , the Newport
colony. She married Klixur Yale Smith, son of an old New Tork fam
.lly. but their married life was not happy and they are now living

clever artist i. Franz Wagner, cellist,
and Guy Woodard, violinist and concert
master. Added to the above array of
soloists will be the world-famous pianist,
Myrtla Elvyn.
The combined orchestra and chorus will
be heard 1n the following magnificent
works: Sullivan's "Golden Legend."
Rossini's "Btabat Mater," up to and in
cluding the "Infiammatus" ; "Hail. Bright
Abode," from Wagner's grand opera of
"Tannhauser"; "Sanctus,"' from Gounod's
"Saint Cecilia Mass": Gaul's "Holy City."
One of these glorious works will be
heard at each of the concerts; the exact
dates will be announced in the very near
future. The orchestra will be heard at
each concert, except the night the "Gold
en Legend" Is sung, in classical, popular
so high that water could run beneath it
without wetting her stocking.
If the impression is solid it indicates
a low or broken arch. It is this trouble
that the prescription of dancing seeTfs to
rectify. What Is probably the normal
foot is one In which the outer line will
touch the paper the entire length, while
the inner line will touch only at the ball
and heel.
Fully 35 per cent of the girls who go to
the Manhattan Trade School to prepare
themselves for business are suffering
from fiatfoot. They -are of all national
ities and are for the most part recruited
from the homes of the poor. A large
number have been subjected to pretty
severe discipline in the matter of hard
work. Some have worked as cash girls
in stores and been obliged to stand on
their feet all day long. Others, have Im
proper standing positions to blame for
their foot ills.
French heeled shoes, though, are, ac
cording to. Miss Beagle, to blame for .nine
tenths of foot ailments.
"Not the ordinarily high heels," ex
plains the 'instructor, "not the Cuban
heels, for I am In favor of a shoe which
offers a good support to the foot; but the
tiny French heels which throw all the
weight of the body on the front .part, of
the foot. These are' very bad. ' for they
inevltably weaken the arch formed by the
ligaments. You see. the French heel is
wrongly placed beneath the arch. Instead
of under the heel of the foot, hence the
danger.
"It is a fact, too, that "the cut of the
modern shoe has an enormous amount of
influence in causing pedal difficulties,
particularly fiatfoot. The foot nowadays
Is made to fit the shoemaker's last, not
the last the foot. . There is an outward
curve which throws tile foot out of the
median line. The big toe is thrown'"out
and the little toe Is cramped and pushed
back out of position.
"Instead of an outward curve on the
inner side of the . shoe the line should be
straight.The big toe and the heel should
be on about the same line as the base
of the big toenail, but in the case of

until it falls far below this line.
onues Bnouia De broad enough so
that the toes are -well separated and
every joint has perfect freedom of mo
tion. An Important point is not to have
the shoe too large In the heel. The
highest point of the shoe, too, should
be over the big toe, to avoid pressure,
while most shoes are highest over the
miaaie.
btockings are another important
factor in causing flat foot. This Is be
cause of the construction of the toe of
the stocking. It being: so tight that It
puns tne toes away from the median
line. The ideal stocking has the big
toe separate.
"In the great majority of cases of
flat foot the weakness of the foot Is
to blame rather than any structural
oerect. lou see each foot consists of 26
smal bones Joined by ligaments and
held in proper position relative to one
another by muscles. Upon the proper
performance of these muscles depends
the strength of the foot. Weakness or
iiattenmg or the foot Is due to the in
terierence with this action, chiefly
causea Dy wrongly-shaped shoes.
"The bones of the foot should pre
sent two well-marked arches, one under
the instep and one under . the toes.
These arches help to relieve the joints
from jars and 'contain nerves, blood
vessels and tissues which, are injured
when the arch gives way.
"By far the most important group of
muscles is composed of those which
move the toes. They can be kept
strong only by use. Interference with
these muscles by wearing tight or
wrongly-shaped - shoes leads to their
partial disuse and degeneration. The
real principle for guidance in the care
of the foot is absolute freedom for the
toes. Toes and ankles must assist In
locomotion.
"The disuse of toes in action is a re
sult of civilization and accompanying
Impediment in the line of tight shoes.
Watch a baby and note how It in
stinctively grasps with its toes. A
young child or an older person on the
beach immediately wriggles his toes In
the sand, it is the natural thing. That
is well nigh impossible in modern
shoes, the consequence being that the
ankle does most of the work, the other
muscles falling into disuse. -
"In the dancing, first of all the toes
are pressed hard against the floor, and
this at once brings all the muscles back
Into play again. Then the bending,
balancing and rotating of the feet, and
ankles all strengthen the muscles and
make them flexible. There Is complete
freedqm in the gymnasium shoes, and
the feet can be taught to grasp the
floor with the same flexibility that
they formerly possessed. You have no
idea what, a great difference this
makes in the carriage and bearing of
the girls. it Is noticeable In a very
short time.
"Folk dancing is most valuable, par
ticularly the Russian, Hungarian and
Swedish dances, which have the step
and slide and the movements In which

the heel is extended forward with

"From time to time as I make my
card impressions the improvement
brought about by dancing is very
marked. The muscles .of the foot., the
liganents and the nerves get stronger,
the tendency for.the feet to ache passes
and the girl can do twice as much
work as she did before with none of
the fatigue formerly experienced.
"In most cases the necessity for good
strong- feet and ankles is very great
among my girls, since it affects their
prospects In business.- Frequently they,
are obliged to use machines, to be on
their feet for long stretches at a time
or to walk great distances to and from
their work.- - Dancing gives them a
feelrng of buoyancy they . never had
before. . . . .
"Then they love it, and that Is not a
small thing in its favor. I find .that
given the dancing here at school the girls

How Two Pioneer Boys W ere
Frightened on Council Crest
Lads Who Had Been Taught to Live in Terror of Escaped Convicts Came
Face to Face With One While at Play.
IN THE early fifties the large brick
building; situated at 412 Front street,
now occupied by the Smith & Watson
Iron Works, was the Oregon State Peni
tentiary. While some of the inmates of
the prison may have been desperate char
acters and at times there may not have
been as great a number as that confined
in our City Jail at almost any time at
the present day, the children of Portland
and the adjacent country were In mortal
terror when anyone mentioned that a
prisoner had escaped, or that Matt Blud
soe, who was the most vicious of all the
state's wards, had, while working upon
the streets with others all chained to
getherand with a great ball of iron
chained to his foot, thrown stones at
passersby. In fact, Matt Bludsoe was
the "bogie man"' of the county, as well
as the greater part of the state.-
The children in the farm homes upon
Council Crest and Marquam's Hill were
often in great fear, as 'escaping prisoners
Had been known, to hide in the gulches
and ravines of that vicinity, emerging
from their retreat at nightfall and help
ing themselves to the growing apples and
other fruit. Boys were heard to say to
each other while at play: "If you don't
give me back my marbles Matt will get
you." and other like expressions.
One pleasant evening In Spring: upon
Council Crest two little boys were play
ing atfarming, the first thing to be done
was to measure off the space for their
wheat field: so. with much walking about
and a great deal of talking, they forgot
their mother's warning and wandered to
the last row of apple trees in the great
orchard. At this morment the Sheriff
dashed up on horseback, informing Mr.
Talbot, the father of the young farmers,
that seven prisoners had escaped. It
was supposed they had separated at the
forks of the road, one leading to Talbdt's
farm, the other to Marquam's Hill. Mr.
Talbot was told to put a bell upon an old
mare In the orchard, and if strangers en
tered tne enclosure she would very likely
run and make a great noise.
The little boys upon hearing the com
motion, started for the house. As they
turned about the coarse, burly face of a
man with a great scar across his fore

BRUTAL MURDER OF CHILD
Shocking Case of Inhumanity Re
ported In Belfast Court.
LONDON, April 3. (Special.) Evi
dence of a father's inhumanity waa given
at the Belfast inquest yesterday on Annie
Thompson, aged 4 years, the illegitimate
child of Annie Thompson and Richard
Justin.
The jury returned a verdict of "wilful
murder" against Justin. The medical
evidence showed that the body from the
head to the knees was practically covered
with bruises, including one of the size of
a silver dollar on the forehead. On the
chin alone were five bruises
One part of the body was marked by
red streaks, from one to two Inches long,
crossing each other at acute angles, the
appearance suggesting a severe beating
with a stick or rod. The brain was found
to be . covered with a mass of blood clots.
Death. In the opinion of a medical wit
ness, was due to hemorrhage on the brain
caused by violence.
The Coroner remarked that it was the
worst case that had ever come before any
court.
