NIGHT SAILINGS OF BIG LINERS
HAVE BECOME EXTREMELY POPULAR
Under New System, Traveler Can Dine Comfortably Uptown, Attend Theater and Then Leisurely Drive to Ship,
Where Supper Is Served.
BY IXOTD F. LONEORAX.
NEW YORK. March . (Special.)
After a trial ef little over a week.
Ths Cunard Lias Is convinced that
tilirht sailings are extremely popular,
and other companies are preparing to
adopt the Innovation.
Heretofore ths big Cunarders have
started to out to sea In lbs early morn
ing hours, and a traveler has been ob
liged to leave his bed betimes in order
to be sure of catching his ship. But
the well lighted Ambrose Channel sug
gested the possibilities of a change, for
It Is now perfectly feasible to come Into
or go oat ef New York harbor at any
time
The new sailing hoar Is 1 A. M. tra
der this system, as It has been pointed
ut a voyager can send his or her lug
gage to toe thin, dine comfortably In
towa. attend the opera or some show,
and then drive to the ship where supper
le served In the saloon. There Is no
occasion for hurry or worry and the
xt morning when the traveler
awaara. he or she Is well out at sea.
It Is pointed out that even persons
who do aot care to go to the opera are

best Judges, through his experience
with the big shows in tbs East.
As an Inducement to handlers from
other slates, and In order to obtain
strings of dogs from other cities, ths
Portland Club will offer a prise of $15
to ths handler showing the largest
string of dogs from each of the states
of California. British Columbia. Wash
ington. Oregon and Montana.
Some of the best dogs from Ban
Francisco. Oakland. Seattle, Tacoma.

Vancouver. B. C have already been
promised for this show. Already a
benefitted by the new arrangement, for
they can come straggling aboard at
any time during the evening, and go to
bed when they choose.
The result Is that the old "sailing
hour" Is rapidly departing Into oblivion.
No more more will the docks be crowd
ed with cheering and handkerchiefs
waving friends, do longer will voyagers
crowd Ihe rail to get ths last sight of
land. The liner has become a sort of a
glorified "owl train." Passengers saun
ter or stagger In from all kinds of tunc
Hons, troop off to bed. and are dead
to the world when the boat starts And
the cheering throngs have all gone else
where to cheer, long before the gang
plank Is hauled la.
aSTrac-eta Are Elate.
Suffragists are much elated over the
appointment by Commissioner Waldo
of Mrs. Issabella Goodwin as a detective
sergeant, first clasa They had nothing
to do with It, but regard It as a good
omen.
In her new position Mrs. Goodwin
has a gold star, ranks as a lieutenant ef
ef police, and draws an annual salary
of Ills. Ia giving her tl-e place, the
C2i&zxjo7 on &77 yitmaFj
number of handsome silver cups have
been donated by fanciers and mer
chants. Setters. Spaniels, Collies, Bulldogs
and Terriers will get the majority of
them, though there Is at least one cup
for practically every known breed of
dog. Two new features in special prlxe
offerings will be the trophies awarded
for the four best dogs of any one breed
exhibited by the same owner, and for
the exhibitor winning the highest total
number of points.
"Local owners are making prepara
tions to keep most of the prlxes at
home. If possible," said Frank B. Wat
kins, owner of the Willamette Kennels,
"and many fine dogs have been Im
ported for this years show, among
them being bulldogs, collies and many
varieties of terriers."
Champion Sound End Sombrero,
owned by George C. Israel, of Olympla,
Wash., the Bull Terrier that won here
last year, and that finished second at
the big New York show last week, will
be on exhibition at the coming show, as
also will be the splendid bulldog. Rod

Commissioner did an unusual thing, but
one that was fully Justified.
This quiet little Irish woman, who has
been a police matron for 16 years did
more to unravel the taxlcab holdup
than any other person. To gain Infor
mation, she lived among thieves as a
"pot wrestler." and had her Identity
been discovered would undoubtedly
have been killed.
The recent detective work done by
the Department, by the way, has made
some of the critics of Waldo and
Dougherty, his deputy, feel very cheap.
It also demonstrated that tbs criminals
were not a band of bold bad ex-convicts,
who were trooping to the city to In
crease the size of the "crime wave,"
but Idle worthless young men without
prison records. They are of the same
calibre as the "Duffy boy" whose ex
periences caused Gaynor to lay down
the law, that the police should be polite
to gangsters and crooks, and use a sum
mons in preference to a night stick. It
Is doubtful, however. If recent devel
opments will have any effect on what
the Mayor calls his "police policy".
Supreme Court Justice Marean. of
Brooklyn has raised a simoon of cea-
sure announcing from the bench that a
mother is not necessary to her child.
"All children are selfish." remarked
the court In giving William R. Thomp
son an exclusive custody of his nine
year old son. "children think aboat
themselves only. Their minds are on
their own pleasures. So long as they
have their toys and their enjoyments
they are satisfied. Once away from
their mother, they very quickly forget
I her. for she affects their lives only as
she can serve them. They grow Just as
well without her."
Since the utterance of these Immortal
words, every well known clubwoman In
New York, and many who are not well
known, has taken a whack at the un
happy Brooklyn Jurist. He has been
called inhuman." "piggishly preju
diced." and everything else from "an
archist" to plain every day "mutt." Had
men used the words that some women
uttered, they would now be looking up
the time that must elapse before
their sentence for contempt ex
pired. Because the traducers are wo
men, nothing has been done, and the
chances are that Justice Marean will
simply let them talk until some other
topic of Interest arises.
The failure of Cafe Madrid, with
heavy liabilities and sma'.l assets,
proves the truth of a statement made
in these columns some time ago, that
all Is not profit in the white light res
taurant business. It is extremely pre
carious occupation, for the after theater
crowd is fickle, and the place that is
popular today is deserted tomorrow.
Madrid Case Cited.
Take the case of the Madrid for ex
ample. A year and a half ago it was
run as Churchill's, the proprietor be
ing a former acting police captain. It
did a rushing business, and the ex
poltceman made money In bunches. The
chances are that he figured that the un
easy crowd was about due for a Changs,
because he sold out. the price, it is suil,
being 1160,000. And from that day to
this the place has never made any
money.
Speaking of Broadway reBtaurants,
there Is a bill In the Legislature now
making It a misdemeanor to give or
receive a tip. Food purveyors declare
that the matter does not lnterent them,
for If It becomes a law they will raise
the pay of their waiters, and get even
by boosting the price of eatables.
The average restaurant in Manhattan
pays Its wslters from $20 to $23 a
month. Omnibus boys get $25. and most
of the waiters they assist give them
something In addition As John H.
Martin, of the Cafe Martin says.
"Of course that $25 a month hardly
pays their carfares, laundry bills and
thetr own tips to the buses, and they
rely upon the dining public for their
living. The average good waiter in a
high class restaurant makes from $5
to $6 a day in tips. He knows he has
to give his patrons good service wheth
er they tip or not. for if we have com
plaints about the sen-Ice being bad, the
waiter Is dismissed, even if he has not
been given a tip. So the diner Is in
sured of good service, regardless of
failure to tip. although the waiter
naturally does expect something. If
tips are out out we will pay our waiters
more and raise the prices on the bill
of fare."
Safest Way la to Tip.
What Mr. Martin says about good ser
vice without tips sounds very nice, but
a man who tried it might have an en
tirely different story to tell. The safe
est way Is to tip, no matter what the
house rules may he.
Restaurant men claim that the mar
gin of profit In their business Is ex
tremely small. Rents are out of pro
portion, an army of servants Is es
sential, and the publlo taste is tickle.
Of late the expenses have run up en
ormously, owing to the necessity of
providing "csbaret shows."
No restaurant that is a lobster palace
can think of being in the swim unless
It has cabaret show. Thla means ths
employment of more or less high priced
artists, and their salaries must be tack
ed on the bill somewhere, for they do
not work for the mere love of their art.
Salaries of these performers are stead
ily mounting up, and this Item is be
coming a formidable one. A proprietor
of one popular place made the state
ment the other day that during the
month Just closed he had taken In $39,
000 for food, at a net loss of $1800. and
that the only way he had made profit
was on the liquors be sold.
Cabaret Shows Success.
The cabaret Idea was brought , into
New York by Henry B. Harris the
theatrical manager, who was Just a
few months ahead of the times. He
tried out the scheme at the Folles
Bergere. a theater arranged as a din-
I lng room, but it failed to catch on.
I The attendance dwindled away night
after night, until hardly a corporal's
guard was left. Now the restaurants
have taken it up and it is all the rage.
Why the Folles failed and the res
taurants succeed. Is a problem that no
one can solve. At the Folles there was
a correctly appointed stage, an effi
cient troupe of performers, comfortable
tables, so arranged that the view of
what was going on was never Inter
rupted, excellent viands and superb
service.
In the average restaurant, the per.
formers are on the same floor level as
the diners, which means that few of
them can see what Is going on, the or
dinary restaurant tables are crunched
up together, prices are higher than
they were at the Folles and the food
and service is worse. But the one was
a failure while the other succeeds.
From all of which it would seem safe
to say that you cannot rely upon
the Broadway crowd to pick out the
best when the worst Is much more ex
pensive. NOTED HORSETRArXER DIES

MAGICIAN MALINI ASTONISHES ALL
BY HIS GREAT FEATS OF WIZARDRY
Little Austrian Performs Apparently Miraculous "Stunts" at Private Entertainments in Portland and Causes His
Audience to Marvel at His Wonderful Cleverness Crowned Heads See Work.

PORTLAND Is being treated to a
real sensation along the line of
conjuring. The Austrian magician,
Malini, who has for several years mys
tified people all over the world,
dropped Into this city unheralded, and
with two or three private exhibitions
has set the tongues wagging as to
whether he Is mortal or otherwise.
Malini Is unique as a public and pri
vate entertainer, for he carries no "ad
vance agent" nor press agent,, but de
pends entirely on his ability to attract
followers through his personal work.
Coming, as he does, with '.he unstinted
i anil aftentlsts
of the Old World, he appears modestly J
before American audiences and com
mands Instant and merited enconiums.
Malini Is not a stage character, for he
appears only in private entertain
ments. Malini Is a man of medium height,
with nothing particularly pronounced
in his physique, unless it might be no
ticed that his hands are wonderfully
developed in their muscular pliability,
which doubtless accounts for his dex
terity In "palming" and similar tricks
of card manipulation. He proves that
the movements of the hands are quick
er than the eyes are capable of fol
lowing, and some of the tricks he per
forms are really startling.
Malini came to Portland from Seat
tle, where he gave exhibitions at one
of the leading hotels and at the Press
Club. The newspapers there were al
most hysterical In their appreciation
of the marvelous magician for that is
really what a Is entitled to be named.
One of thera ald on hts departure for
Portland: "Malini, dear, clever, clever
Malini. has' gone away from here.
"The magician left for Portland this
APARTMENT-HOUSES DIVORCE CAUSES;
LOS ANGELES HONORS DR. BROUGHER
"Man Who Earns From $76 to $100
Rooms," Says Clerk of Court
LOS ANGELES, March 9. (Special.)
Of the 66 divorce cases set
weekly for trial In the oourt of
Judge Monroe. Thomas K. Hughes.
Clerk of the Court, estimates that 40
per cent of the principals live In apartment-houses.
"A majority of divorces, as far as
my observation has extended, covering
a period of 18 months In this court,
have their origin in the personal ex
travagances of men and women." says
Hughes. "In the case of women It Is

the parlors, rotundas and on the roof

extravagant practices, and whose hab

married woman of limited means and
distort her sense of proportion until
her domestic values are entirely at sea.

Hughes' Idea Is derided by Theodora
Wlesendanger, proprietor of many
apartment-houses In Los Angeles, who
says that before the first apartment
house was built here, in 1903. there
were Just as many divorce suits filed
in Los Angeles according to population
as there are now.
"Women In apartment-houses escape
the deadly monotony of being left alone
In some suburban place, and they are
better satisfied because they are both

man should not be more comfortable
with a late breakfast In an apartment
house and a five minutes' walk to his
office than he would be with a break
fast before daylight and an hour's car
ride to the city. There Is no reason,
either, why the woman In the apartment-house
may cot sew or otherwise
usefully employ herself throughout the
day If she wishes."
Dr. Brougber-s Advent Honored.
Temple Baptist Church and Its sub
sidiary bodies this week have been
celebrating the second anniversary of
the pastorate of Dr. J. Whitcomb
B rougher. The observances began last
Sunday evening with an anniversary

afternoon, his pockets stuffed with
Seattle gold and good will, the latter
in quantities, It may be said, such as
but few, if any. single entertainer ever
carried out of the city."
Now, while Malini comes to Portland
more or less in a private capacity. It
should not be overlooked that he has
made a name for himself In the coun
tries of the Old .World. An Austrian
by birth, he entertained leading public
people In London, among whom may be
mentioned Henry White, secretary of
the American Embassy, who gave a
large house party before which the ma
gician appeared and created a distinct
sensation, and Baron Alfred E. Roth
chlld. New Court. Mr. Malini has among
his cherished letters one from Ambas
sador Joseph Choate, congratulating him
on his performance. Other letters of
congratulation ere signed by Mark
Hanna. Sir Thomas Llpton, the English
Home Secretary, and other prominent
people.
Since his arrival In Portland Mr. Ma
lini has entertained at the Commercial
Club, where a large number of persons
witnessed his wonderful art. He was
at the Press Club the same night, and
kept the "late watch." performing a
number of tricks with cards and other
pickup paraphernalia, for be it known
Malini carries no "properties," but de
pends entirely on such commonplace
accessories as are to be found ready at
hand where he gives, his exhibitions.
One of the tricks he presented be
fore the newspapermen was the cutting
of a piece of rope, the ends of which
were held by two of the members, and
then without apparent concealment he
united the severed ends. This trick
differed from the usual "knot" trick, so
easyiof solution, for to all appearances
the string was not even doubled over
when cut In two.

an anniversary prayer meeting Wed
nesday evening, and concluding with
an elaborate reception Friday evening
at the Auditorium.
At the services last Sunday evening
about 40 of the prominent business and
professional men of Los Angeles occu
pied seats oh the platform, and promi
nent among those who took part were
Dr. Robert J. Burdette, pastor emeritus
of the church, and the Rev. John Bent
slen, associate pastor, who was also
associated with Dr. Brougher at White
Temple In Portland.
Professor C C. Boynton, chairman of
the church's pulpit committee, speak
ing of Dr. Brougher's work as pastor
here, said:
"Dr. Robert J. Burdette did a great
work in establishing Temple Baptist
Church, and it required a man of ex
ceptional attainments to follow Dr. Bur
dette. That Dr. Brougher has been
equal to the task Is attested by his
phenomenal results. Every Sunday
night the congregation of Temple Bap
tist Church numbers more than J000,
which Is, I believe, the largest regular
congregation In the world."
800 Persona Join la Two Tears.
Nearly 800 persons have Joined the
church since Dr. Brougher became its
pastor, to 70 of whom the doctor ex
tended the right hand of fellowship at
Sunday night's service. The church
has raised for all purposes during the
past year In round numbers 145,000, of
which 115,000 has gone for benevolent
and missionary work. This is more
than double the revenue the church re
ceived before Dr. Brougher assumed
charge. During the period the church
has increased the pastor's salary 11000.
and has added four paid associate pas
tors, making a total of seven. Includ
ing Dr. Brougher and Dr. Robert J.
Burdette, on the pastoral force.
Temple Baptist Church maintains 10
representatives In. the foreign mission

Inspired by the pastor, one wealthy
member of bis congregation defrays the
expenses of the church visitor, and an
other the expenses of the Sunday school
visitor.
The church, through its representa
tive, expressed Itself as being unquali
fiedly satisfied with Dr. Brougher. The
"Temple Herald," issued by the church,
said:
"Dr. Brougher's magnetic personality
and superb leadership combine to make
him. as we believe, the best preacher
and pastor on earth."
Dr. Brougher has become more than
a denominational man in Los Angeles,
as he does more work outside than in
side the church. Scarcely a week passes
that he does not deliver one or more
lectures on popular themes. He has,
until recently, been head of the Fed
eration Club. He Is a member of the
Rotary Club, the Ad Men's League, the
Chamber of Commerce, the Clerical
Club, the Country Club and the Univer
sitv Club, and took an active part In
the recent mayoralty campaign, being 1
cleverest manipulator of cards ever
seen in Portland, and witnesses of his
skillful work despaired in their en
deavors to explain his methods.
Malini is quite proud of an Intimate
personal friendship with the noted ten
or. Caruso, and has In his possession
a number of tokens of the singer's ap
preciation. He and Caruso made an
exchange of their respective arts Ca
ruso giving the magician singing les
sons In return for Mollnl's teaching
him Borne of his best card tricks. Ma
lini Jokingly relates that Caruso once
announced that he really feared the
presence of the magician at his Italian
home, for he was almost certain that
the wizard might. If he wanted to, steal
his voice
While Maltnl Is of Austrian parent
age, he Is really an American. When
only 12 years old he had developed a
wonderful dexterity with playing cards
and was ambitious to become tfie great,
est card manipulator In the world. He
announced to his parents on one occa
sion that one day he Intended to ap
pear before the President of the United
States in an exhibition and would also
appear before crowned heads in Eu
rope. They thought him to be slightly
"touched," but future years brought a
realization of the young man's ambi
tions. He relates that the late King
Edward was among his chief admirers
and that he bad the pleasure to teach
the king several tricks with the cards.
Mr. Malini gave exhibitions at tho
Multnomah Hotel during his sojourn In
Portland and will leave here for San

that city he will sail for Japan and

Michael O'Brien, aged 60, of Port

with the upbuilding of the Oregon me

here the first of the week of heart dis
ease, for which he had been undergoing
treatment for four weeks. Mr. and Mrs.
O'Brien arrived In Los Angeles six
weeks ago on a tour of the South for
the benefit of Mr. O'Brien's health. Be

According to judicial ruling, two
ounces of whisky should be used in
every properly made highball. The de
cision was handed down this week by
Justice Reeve, of Los Angeles, who sus
tained the wage claim of V. Dobbins,
mixologist, against the proprietor of
a local cafe.
"When the boss let me out. Judge,
he refused to pay me my wages be
cause he Bald I put too much whisky
In the customers' drinks," said Dob
bins. "Now, I've worked behind the
bars of the best cafes in Portland. San
Francisco, Seattle, Denver and Kansas
City, and my rule is that two ounces
of whisky should be used In every
standard highball."
The steward and two other bartend
ers In the local cafe said two ounces
might be the standard at Portland, San
Francisco and Kansas City, but it was
nearer one ounce in Los Angeles, and
that any way, Dobbins was not deft at
pouring and frequently "slopped over."
"That's all right. Judge," Dobbins re
torted. "When I overshot the mark I
skimped the whisky on the next cus
tomer. You see, I've been at this game
some time."
Dobbins then gave the court a dem
onstration, in pantomime, of mixing
drinks. He pressed some white paper
Into service as Ice, explaining that by
his proper manipulation of the ice the
skimped customer was kept in ignor
ance as to the exact quantity of liquor
in his portion.
