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.

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."

Famous Pictures Attraction at Baker
Theater All This Week.
The attraction at the Baker Thea

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

blow waa atruck creating a new oham-

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

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

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

you must have vinegar, look for that

They are digestible, easily made and

the bread in thin slices, and lay on
each slice one or two delicate lettuce
leaves. Cover this bed with mayon

bread covers this, and the sandwiches
are most ornamental when cut in V

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.
