THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 13, 1909. WHILE almost every other line- of business prospered exceedingly last week, owing to the big out-of-town attendance at the Rose Festival, ittift theaters had rather a blue time of It. TV,- ,, fr, to- the pageants, ' the rose exhibit out at the Exposition grounds and the various other tree attractions. The closing week of the Baker Stock at the Bungalow in "The Girl of the Golden West," a glo- ' rlous play, gloriously acted and pro 'duced. did only a tolerable .commerce. General regret is expressed at the disband lng of this splendid acting organization, which has remained practically Intact for 'two seasons, and because only two mem- bera of the company, Isetta Jewel and Donald Bowles, are to return, the public lis disappointed, although It Is a fatlsfac 'tlon to know that thesa two are coming I back. Elsewhere In this paper the fu ' ture plans of the other Baker favorites will be discussed at some length. "The Burgomaster," veteran among musical comedies, played a return en gagement at the Baker, with fair suc cess. At the Lyric the new Imperial Musical i Comedy Company demonstrated its abil ity In a satisfactory manner its opening I bill being "A Matrimonial Mixup." Com mencing this afternoon the company will I be seen In "The Isle of Zaza" for the week. The Orpheum had another corking good bill, which, with the creditable Grand and Pantages offerings, will be repeated this afternoon and tonight, all three of the vaudeville houses changing their programmes tomorrow afternoon, as usual. "MERRY WIDOW" NEXT WEEK Henry W. Savage's Production of Operatic Sensation at Bungalow. Portland Is at last to see Henry W. Savage's notable production of "The Merry Widow," the record-breaking Viennese opera of the century, which comes to the Bungalow Theater for one week, beginning Sunday. June 20, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. The seat sale will open Friday, June 18, but mall orders, accompanied by remit tances, will be tilled in order of re ceipt, as near as possible to location ' desired. "The Merry Widow" was first pro duced at the Theater an der Wlen. in v lenna, where it had the Uerman title, "Die Luntige Witwe." This historic theater is the house in which Mozart produced his "Magic Flute." and as you ait within its painted walls you can realize how the place must have re sounded to the plaudits of the delighted Viennese In 1791. The drop curtain shows a picture of episodes in "The Magic Flute." and one of the characters Is a portrait of old Schikaneder, the shrewd manager who wrote the execra hle libretto of the opera and made his fortune out of Mozart's genius. In the same theater Johann Strauss, of "Blue Danub" fame, disclosed to the world his captivating adaptations of his rythmic dance tune to the realm of the operetta. This theater was in the throes of pecuniary distress when the manager decided to try "The Merry Widow," and found that he had struck a new vein of amusement assaying al most entirely pure gold. A most In- i gratlatlng. captivating, alluring and J iihuiilihk prouuciion it is. Tuti or that golden champagne of Viennese life which Is so much softer, and less biting than the wine of Paris. And under it lies the Irresistible seduction of the Viennese waltz, the dance of dances, that steals away men's souls by way of their toes. It Is a well-known fact that, notwith standing the many scenic productions, this fascinating operetta has had In Europe and this country. Mr. Savage's American investiture is credited by tourlsts with excelling In all respects any of the splendid settings furnished on the continent. The scenery from Walter Durrldge's studio was made from designs secured In Paris, while the superh gowns and exquisite hats have all been imported direct from France, where the scene of the opera Is laid. The artists have all won their laurels In the New York production, and the special orchestra Is composed of the pick of Mr. Savage's famous "Mad am Butterfly" orchestra.

Is making his first Western tour and will appear at the Orpheum next week as the headllner of the bill. No British enter tainer ever imported for our divertlse- ment has made the tremendous hit that he has. His Is the kind of humor that appeals to the American as well as to the Englishman, and his eccentric danc Ing sets the audleire wild with enthusl asm. That famous aggregation of twisting. twirling, whirling, dancing wonders, "The Eight Original Madcaps," Is coming here. although nearly every producing manager In New lork tried to entice them away from vaudeville after their remarkable success In Wallack's Theater, as the fea ture extraordinary of "A Knight for I VI "TlH JP ftJL iiimiii mi i, m, mi, iiaawMaBwii .

The Three Leightons, popular come dians, will present a new version of "A One-Night Stand in Minstrelsy, which full of - laughs, clever dialogue and unique dancing. The action of the little comedy has to do with two minstrels and a quaint colored porter in a "One-Night Stand" Hotel. Max Witt's "Singing Colleens'" Is a feminine quartet, which presents a tune ful novelty that is termed "Songs of the Old and New World." Many of the num bers in their repertoire have a peculiar fascination. Ollle Young and brothers offer a dis tinct novelty this season, for In addition to their hoop-rolling, which, by the way. Ollle Young was the first to Introduce on the stage, they are presenting a mar velous, exhibition of diablo playing and skillful display - of boomerang throwing. The Gartelle Brothers are clever en tertainers who sing and dance well, but who excel as roller Bkatlng artists. Miss Lizzie Evans and Jefferson Lloyd present a unique little character study in one act, called "Turning the Tables."

Jefferys, and the show will close with an Interesting set of motion pictures. SEW BILL AT THE PAXTAGES Fonr Bards, Marvelous Gymnasts, Head Week's Programme. One of the best acta that Pantagee Theater haa offered will be that pre sented by the Four Bards, marvelous American gymnasts, which will be the principle feature of next week's pro gramme, which will commence with the usual Monday's matinee. The Bards have a reputation that reaches from I the Atlantlo to the Pacific, and they never fall to create a sensation at each and every performance. Their last ap pearance was at the New York Hip podrome, and were booked from there by Alexander Pantages exclusively for the Pantages Western state circuit of vaudeville theaters. In competition with the Bards for first place on the bill will be the troupe of 40 trained rats, cats and dogs, which will be Introduced by Pro fessor Roberts. He has trained all sorts of animals, but for this particu lar vaudeville tour "he has selected this unusual combination, particularly on account of Us oddity. It is surely out of the ordinary to see cats, rats and dogs performing together, and the rats trusting themselves In the very teeth of their traditional enemies. Next on the list comes the Terry Twins, who are so much alike that one cannot tell them apart. They will In troduce a series of comedy acrobatlo stunts, and In their performance la a burlesque boxing bout, which on ac count of their remarkably close - re semblance to each other. Is unusually funny. Adams and Mack will be seen In their comedy magic act, which they call the "Mysterlarch" and the "Mysta gogue," whatever that Is. However, their performance Is said to be a scream. Music lovers are promised a surprise with Marie Hedllcka, a Bohemian lyrio soprano, who is said to possess a re markably sweet voice. Ella Garrison and company will pre sena travesty on "Antony and Cleo patra," which they call "Tony and Cleo." Remember that today will be your last opportunity to see the present great bill of advanced vaudeville acts. which is headed by Bonner, the horse with the human brain.

The attraction at the Baker Thea ter. Third and Yamhill streets, every afternoon and night this week, begin ning this afternoon at 3 o'clock, will be the vlvrd pictures of the Burns- Johnson fight, , which took place In Sydney, Australia, on Monday, Decem ber 26, and whichgave to the world a new champion In the dusky Johnson. Unusual Interest seems to be seen In the reproduction of this great bat tie, not only by lovers of the manly sport, but by everyone who has heard and read of this latest and greatest encounter of the fistic arena. While the battle was fought so far away, It was possible for only a few In Amer ica to view it, which haa made the pictures more interesting, as it affords the publio an opportunity of seeing the work of these two ring gladiators. The plctnrea are said to be unusually olear and distinct, showing every feint, blow, cross-counter, uppercut in fact. It Is the flg'ht right over again. Their clearness has made them a greater drawing card than any fight pictures that were ever shown, for it Is claimed by those who have already viewed them in the East that by wit nessing these pictures one gets a bet ter idea of the ability of these two fighters than if they were at the en. counter In Australia, sitting anywhere except In ringside seats. The word marvelous is no exaggera tion. It la said, for it was a most per fect day and those who had charge of taking; the pictures must have been experts, for they got them true to life throughout the entire battle. Not only are the fighters ehown - f rom the ttmik fhoff ,ntP th, ri ri cr niiAni4a j by the 20.000 spectators, until the final blow waa atruck creating a new oham- pion, but one can see the many nota bles of the fistic world at the ring side. In addition the best rounds Of the Jeffries-Sharkey fight will be shown so that any one can Judge who la the best man. PICTURES Drama Predominates in Sew Bill Opening Tills Afternoon.

Try To Make Soldiers Immune From Typhoid Elaborate ETyste-m ot Ezperlmeata About to Be Undertaken in Army. OMAHA, Neb., June 11. (Speolal.) The entire United States Army is to be rendered Immune from typhoid fever -the scourge that kills more soldiers in war time than do the bullets of the enemy if experiments just begun at a number of Western Army posts should prove successful. The center from which these experiments are being carried on Is Omaha, the headquarters of the Department of the Missouri. But while Omaha, Fort Crook and Fort Omaha are headquarters for these experiments, the trials will not, by any means, be restricted to those posts. Ad ditionally thereto, Fort Des Moines, Fort Robinson, Fort; Meade, S. D.; Fort McKinzle. Wyo.; Fort D. A. Russell, at Cheyenne, and half a dozen other posts of this Army division will share in the campaign to make possible the elimi nation of typhoid from the Army. Inoculation Is Scheme. The fight against typhoid will be waged In the same m.nncr as once waa waged against enallpox; that is, through vaccination. But instead of the virus of smallpox being used, the Army will be vaccinated with the virus of typhoid. At present these inocula tions are restricted to the medical corps. Should they prove successful, the entire body, both privates and off! cers, will undergo vaccination with typhoid virus. Nine privates from the medical corps from Fort Omaha and Fort Crook re sponded to the call for volunteers, and these men will be inoculated. - They will be watched with the utmost care by the Army surgeons, and their every change of condition and symptom will be reported upon. Upon their recovery. if they are found to have become im mune to typhoid germs, the entire Army will undergo the treatment. The eradication of typhoid from the Army will, in time of war, increase the number of available men in the ranks 20 per cent, without Increasing the cost of subsistence a single dollar. On the other hand, the cost of maintenance will be decreased. This statement is based upon the reports of the medical department, which show that when an army Is in camp 20 per cent of that army is down with typhoid fever. That does not mean that 20 per cent of the men who are sick have typhoid, but that one out of every five enlisted men In the army haa typhoid. Typhoid Is Dire Peril. In some cases the proportion of ty phoid victims is largely increased. Dur ing the Spanish-American War one third of the members of Company G, Second Regiment. Nebraska Volunteers, were down with typhoid. The death rate was very high, more of the men dying from typhoid than from bullets. Colone.1 Bannister, as chief surgeon, will have charge of all experiments performed In this department, and he is taking the most active and personal In terest In the campaign against. typhoid. The serum for these experiments will be taken from human patients irr- ty phoid cases. This serum will, accord ing to the Army surgeons, cause no 111 effect other than a slight sickness, upon recovery from which the patient will be immune from typhoid fever. At present the volunteers who were accepted are housed by themselves. They are being gotten Into the very best condition possible. In preparation for the vaccination. STid their table is worthy the training table of a big uni versity. Useful Foods for Campers TENT life does not always afford enough space for the bulky foods of the home kltohen. Edibles ' must be In condensed form, easy to prepare, and in small packages. For example, the fooda put up for the arm 'and navy of one of the world powers supply solid nourishment ana take up little room. Every vegetable and grain known to the UBUal Btomaoh is considered by the soups in this book. The julienne, onion and cabbage soups appeal to the sophisticated palate, but the lentil and green rye ones are both good. Meat broths are used in the preparation of the various powders, so that all that is needed is to add the required quantity of water. This may be hot or cold, and though an 11-cent package of the soup powder will make six plates, the bale Is less than that number of Inches long. In fact, these little food pack ages are the next best thing to toys, and since there are full directions for making there Is never any possibility of failure. Easy Camp Salada Early campers in high altitudes are often put to it for something: fresh to eat. But don't despair . too soon, for even if fresh veg- etablea are not forthcoming, the near est farmer has still a goodly store of Winter ones. Look for greening apples. cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots, beet3 and turnips. All of these things are excellent for salad, and a bit of every one of them may be put in a dish at the same time. If you don't want to bother with the making of a salad, cut greening in straw thin pieces. sprinkle them with salt, and eat along with your dinner. A juicy apple of any sort, one white potato and a few slices of onion, or a shaving of garlic, will make a salad fit for a king. Boil all of the coarser vegetables, with the exception of your cabbage, for your salad supply. They will keep for several days and may simmer together in the same pot with out hurt. Canned vegetables are always good for this reviving dish. String beans, tomatoes, succotash, kidney beans, as paragus, plmientoes, okra and arti chokes are always fine for this use. Open the can an hour before using and turn the contents into a collander. This drains off the superfious liquid and rids the vegetables of the can smell. Season everything with salt, cayenne, olive oil and lemon, and if you must have vinegar, look for that which the farmer has made from hard apple older. Gluten Sandwiches. These excellent and appetizing morsels are made of gluten bread, lettuce and mayonnaise. They are digestible, easily made and most suitable for young persons. Cut the bread in thin slices, and lay on each slice one or two delicate lettuce leaves. Cover this bed with mayon naise which has been made with a fork, and la seasoned only with olive oil. red pepper and lemon. Another slice of bread covers this, and the sandwiches are most ornamental when cut in V shaped pieces. Mayonnaise rubbed with, a fork is more tender than that made with the usual machine eggbeater. A NEW DUTCH DYNASTY Will Lose Name of Nassau, bnt Re tain That of Orange. New York Press. The birth of a direct successor to the throne of the Netherlands has lifted a great political anxiety from the shoul ders of the Dutch people. So seriously did many Hollanders view the disturb ing factors likely to arise had the Queen died without Issue that serious discussion had been given the proposal whether it would not be better to pro claim Holland a republic, as In past centuries, rather than risk the chance of passing under the sway of an alien Prince, with all the possibilities of for eign interference that, such a step would entail. With the birth of a child to Queen Wilhelmina the prince consort be-' comes the head of the new dynasty, which will derive its name from him, and this dynasty will lose the name of Nassau, but not that of Orange. Should the Queen bear more children her eldest son would still be called Prince of Orange and would be fully entitled to that name, as provided for In Clause 29 of the Netherlands Consti tution. The Netherlands would still bo ruled by a bearer of the name dear to all Hollanders. A modification of the law has been suggested whereby the Queen would become head of the family, and thus retain also the name of Nassau. To this, however, objections have been raised. It is different with the name of Or ange. In 1185 the last Princess of Or ange married Into the house of Baux. In the fourteenth century the title traveled another step away, Jeanne of Baux. the last of her house, marrying Into that of Chalon, which thereupon called itself Chalon-Orange. About two centuries -later, in 1530, the Chalon-Oranges disappeared, the last Prince, -Philibert, dying without Issue. Philibert left the principality and ti tle to his sister's son, Rene of Nassau -Brede, better known as Rene of Nas-sau-Chalon,. who also had no. issue. Rene made a will leaving the posses sions and title to his nephew, William of Nassau, the famous William the Sil lent. William had no connection what ever with the Chalons, or through the Chalons or any other house with tha houses of Baux or of Orange. He and Rene were connected because they had the same greatgrandmother a Dutch lady, Johanna of Polanen. Who mar ried Engelbert of Nassau-Dillenburgi At the time this will of Rene -s of the utmost important to the Nether lands. From a younger son of a young er branch of an unimportant German house William of Nassau became the sovereign Prince of Orange. Ho could now raise his own standard against Philip of Spain. And from that time the now famous name was alwaVs used by the Dutch rulers. Dut-ln th lasrt. fiscal ysar over 1MK Chi nese entered Canada, paying: $746,000 In poll tax. - . .
