OREGON BUILDING. Panama-Pacific
International Exposition, San Fran
cisco, Sept. 21. (Special.) One of the
very Interesting: things about the life
of this exposition is to observe the
effect of time on Zone features, statu
ary, buildings, painting's everything.
Those things which at first were so
tremendously popular are not now so;
others hardly noticed at the beginning
are now of first import; and many
that were popular at the start-off are
still popular, but looked upon with
more discerning; eye; good points are
noted and bad, where at first the
whole was accepted.
This is a mighty fine object lesson
In the value of being surrounded by
good things; if you have just a email
sum of money, buy a masterpiece and
Bleep on the floor. Its educational
value in your home dally Is worth
the aching back, and besides, the back
won't ache long; you can accustom
yourself to anything; that is the great
trouble that we can accustom our
selves to Just anything. And we often
do.
Fictnre of Node la Realistic.
"Stella." the star painting of the
Zone, which is perhaps, the most
talked-of feature away from' the expo
sition and the most persistently visited
by people living here, is a wonderful
study of a nude woman, so realistically
painted as to seem to many to be a
living woman; this is the curiosity
compelling feature this and her ex
quisite beauty.
After seeing her many times, one
discovers that the face is that of an
innocent, unconscious young girl of 19
or so. while the body is that of a
mature, well-developed woman of 30;
It is an Inconsistence that to the lay
man is not felt till after several visits.
You love "Stella" just the same, but
this jars; your sense of the fitness of
things Is outraged. You make inqui
ries and you find that two models did
really pose for the famous painting.
Reader of Minds Attracts.
The mind-reading woman, Madame
Ellis, continues to puzzle and haunt;
you go back again and again to get
the secret of her trade, and you are
never nearer It. She Is a rather smart,
quick-speaking young woman, not at
air mystic in appearance. Blindfolded,
she sits on the platform in clear, vivid
light, while her co-worker goes down
In the audience. He stops at every
member, taking them as they come,
and accepts a question from each,
which he reads to himself and then
asks Madame Ellis to both read and
give the answer. She never falls in
her reading; quick as a flaBh back
comes her high, metallic voice. Any
answer that could be in the question
er's mind she rarely fails to find; her
prognostications as to the future are,
of course, but guess work. But how
does she do it? If it is not telepathy,
no one yet has found an answer. Ev
erything is done plainly, in the open:
there are no signals possible between
her and her partner. And this puz
zling, haunting, tormenting question,
How does she do it? keeps the crowds
thronged at her doors.
The general run of questions, it Is
Interesting to note, are not on love,
courtship and marriage, but on busi
ness matters. "Will I sell those lots?"
"Will I bo able to place my mining
stock.'" "Will I find a new position?
This is their trend, entirely away from
sentiment, showing the practical turn
of the present mind.
Living Doll Popalar on Zone.
One of our Portland guests asked
of a popular fortune-teller on the Zone
after being satisfied as to her coming
marriage, "How many children will I
have" The grizzled old fortune-teller
looked up at her with wonderful light
In her lined face. "Oh, my dear, when
have I been asked . that before? The
women never ask that any more
never anything about children and It
used to be the second question always

Well, this Is an interesting commen
tary, too.
Most loved along the Joy Zone, I
fancy, is. little Elizabeth, the living
doll. Many people go back day after
day for a chat with the happy-hearted
cultured little woman, only 32 Inches
tall, 22 years old and perfectly formed.
She speaks four languages fluently.
but best of all, the language of charm
and breeding. Elizabeth is always a
perfect woman, with all her cunning

tact with a changing, careless public

It is interesting to watch the faces

I called to see Elizabeth at her home
on Lombard street; she lives with an
aunt and uncle, Hungarian, who "man

red velvet of graceful design. Imagine
the difficulties of dressmaking when
one can have no paper design, and
where are there grown-up patterns for

exquisite little head.

position opened, was blazoned forth in
all the prints as a thing of beauty and
a Joy forever. Nothing like it had

TWO NOT RELATIVES ARE
OFTEN BELIEVED TWINS
Dr. Earl Smith and J. C. Tompkins Relate Amusing Incidents of Mistaken

OC. here's a dollar. Put It on
my account."
When this remark greeted J.
C. Tompkins as he stepped out of the
elevator In The Oregonian building the
other day he realized that another mis
guided soul had mistaken him for Dr.
Earl Smith. Consequently he was com
pelled to return the dollar wtih thanks
and explain, as he has explained dozens
of times before and since, that he is
not Dr. Earl Smith nor any relative of
his.
A glance at Dr. Smith and Mr. Tomp
kins as1 they stand side by side is
enough to convince anyone on the spot
that they are twins. They not only
look alike, but they talk alike, smile
alike, walk alike and act alike gener
ally. A queer circumstance about a year
ago made the two "twins" acquainted
for the first time. X young woman had
stopped Mr. Tompkins on the street
and spoken earnestly to him about the
condition of her boy, She, wanted to
know if she shouldn't bring him to the
doctor's office at once and have him
examined. Finally Mr. Tompkins con
vinced the woman of his identity. Then
she marvelled at the resemblance and
insisted that Mr. Tompkins go to the
doctor's office and meet his strange
twin.
Once, down at Rockaway Beach, a
friend of Dr. Smith's rushed up to Mr.
Tompkins and insisted that he step
across the street to meet his wife. Mr.
Tompkins didn't know the man from
Adam and told him so, but the man
only said, '"Oh, you can't fool me."
"I'm getting so now that I speak to
everybody who speaks to me for fear
I shall offend some of Dr. Smitr. s
friends," said Mr. Tompkins last night.
"In the elevator one day the boy at the
lever yelled 'Hello. Doc, and when I
didn't respond he said. 'What's the mat
ter. Doc, you've- got an awful grouch
on today.' "
But the trouble isn't always on that
side of the fence, for many times Dr.
Smith Is stopped by Mr. Tompkins'
friends.

Art Gallery Bewildering Maze.
The art gallery, crowded to suffo
cation, was a bewildering maze at rlrst
from which we could get nothing defi
nite because we could not isolate a
painting and see it alone; the others
peeped, in; but now It is a garden a
stuffed and overgrown garden, it is
true but still one in which we can
find by-paths to charming spots, little
lost nooks and corners of artdom, that
afford infinite satisfaction; there are
things too good to be true and things
we brush aside like worthless weeds;
we don't bother any more over those
things we don't like.
The visit of Salvatore to the Exposi
tion added to the pleasure In familiar
izing one's self with delightful work.
He did not exhibit as largely as he
might through that thing we call tem
perament, I imagine; an artist needs a
business manager to see he does all the
things which he should do to let the
public know he is there; but he is well
represented in his Head of an Old Lady,
a wonderfully intimate study of beau
tiful old age, his study of a Young
Girl, study of an Old Man, and a charm
ing study he calls Seeking.
They are so life-like, so free from af
fectation and self-consciousness, that
they please discerning visitors at once.
He ranks among the very best ex
hibitors. Oregon Comes Into Its Own.
In the matter of state buildings, at
the beginning of the- Exposition the
Oregon structure was looked on a trifle
askance. . California ranked first, and
Canada, though a nation, was spoken of
almost constantly as ranking among
the states and having the best exhibit
down here.
Both California and Canada were ex
amples of the highest-priced decorative
art.- Single counties in California had
expended as much as had Oregon. But
as the months have wore on and we
have lived with all these exhibits, we
find that the over-ornamentation of
California displays, and the purely pic
torial nature of Canada's exhibit become
a bit tiresome, while the naturalness
and freshness of the Oregon building
and its exhibits never pall: you can't
tire of a tree, neither can you weary of
a display of homely farm products; al
ways you can visit a great orchard or
wheat field with renewed Joy; and Ore
gon has this atmosphere; so now it is
Oregon first with most of those who
remain any length of time and this has
carried the state's popularity over to
the newcomers.
Even socially things have settled and
values have ranged themselves. At the
beginning it seemed that everyone was
society-mad: the functions of the vari
ous states, the Exposition officials, and
the foreign commissioners, were at
tended almost solidly by the full invi
tation list.
Crowds Are Growing Smaller.
Men came from the Army and Navy,
San Francisco society people came, and
visitors -alnly sought the little white
admission cards. But gradually all this
has changed; of course the continuous
entertaining would be impossible for
local people: not a night but there were
several large functions.
Now. you do not see such crowds at
any but the important affairs, the hos
tesses on the grounds do not pretend
to accept all their Invitations, theyi
choose such representative ones as it
seems that it is their duty by their
state to attend. Visitors are more in
clined to decline the invitations, say

NEW YORK. Sept. 23. (Special.)
Happy Mr. and Mrs. Louis E.
Stoddard were caught by the
camera leaving St. Thomas' Church,
New York, just after they were mar
ried several months ago by the Rev.
Ernest M. Stires. rector of the church.
Mrs. Stoddard was the former Miss
Mollie Andrews, a daughter of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Andrews, of
Cleveland. O. She was attended by her
brother, Horace Andrews. Thomas W.
Farnam. ' of New Haven. Conn., was
best man, There were no ushers-and
there was no reception. Only relatives
were present at the ceremonies.
Louis Stoddard is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. E. G. Goddard. of New Haven.
After the return of the couple from
abroad they will live In New York and
New Haven.
Two years ago Mr. Stoddard was one
of the big four of the International
polo team (American). The bride wore
a traveling costume of navy blue tar
feta and chiffon, with a sort jacket of
taffeta, of the same shade and a col
laret of white fox fur. She wore a
dark blue turban of rough straw
trimmed, with, blue aigrettes..
Chrlstlam & King Iron Works Hear
From Telephone Callers AVho
Allege Violence to Plant.
Announcement that the Christian A
King Iron "Works, of Portland, Is con
templating taking a contract for the
manufacture of shrapnel shells for tho
allies In the present war. was the sig
nal yesterday for a series of threaten
ing telephone calls coming supposedly
from pro-German partisans.
"One man telephoned to ua that some
thing terrible would happen to us If
we manufactured war munitions for
Germany's enemies and said he was
the German consul." says 11. J. Chris
tian, of the Christian & King Iron
Works. "This, of course, looks like
someone was trying to play a practical
JOK6 on us. e nave had, however.
several other anonymous calls over the
telephone threatening us with all man
ner of violence If we undertook the
manufacture of shrapnel shells for the
British. It Is true that we have been
somewhat disconcerted by some of these
hostile utterances.
Arthur King, the Junior member of
the firm, has just returned from British
Columbia, where he was promised by
representatives of the allies the tenta
tive contract to furnish 600.000 shrapnel
cases. This contract could not be
handled by the one plant, and It will
be necessary to secure the co-opera
tion of other Iron works In the city
f the contract is landed. It means
2.00O,000 coming Into Portland if this
contract Is secured with the probability
of further contracts representing larger
sums in future.
The matter has been called to the at
tention of the Bureau of Manufacturers
and Industries In the Chamber of Com
merce, and A. J Kingsley, chairman of
the bureau, will take It up tomorrow.
with a view to planning some method
whereby the big contract can be
brought to Portland.
Mr. Kingsley Is somewhat doubtful
whether the Chamber will find It ad
visable to take an active hand in the
matter, however, owing to the division
of sympathies among some of its mem
bers, and also the pressure that may
be brought to bear In case it is ascer
tained that the Chamber Is working on
the matter.
IMPERSONATOR IN RECITAL
Francis) Tjabadle Entertains Interest
ingly nt Multnomah Hotel.
Francis Labadie, an impersonator,
gave an enjoyable recital at the Mult
nomah Hotel last Thursday night. He
was Introduced by Dr. James D. Corby,
and-: after a few preliminary remarks
about his travels, he gave a short se
lection written by Charles Greeley es
pecially for him, entitled "The Town of
Yap." This was followed by Imper
sonations from Edmund Vance Cooke
and Ben King.
Perhaps the heaviest and most dra
matic part of the everting was the ren
dition of several scenes from Bulwer
Lytton's "Richelieu." But the real
pleasure of the performance were his
interpretations of Dr. William Henry
Drummond's sketches. There he showed
skill In handling the most delicate and
subtle situations, bringing out th6 gen
uine love and Joy of the simple folk,
and glory in living close to Nature.
Of all the dialects he considers the
French patois Is the most unique. Mr.
Labadie proved himself a master here,
by making his audience forget the Im
personator and visualizing the French
peasant himself.
His "Little Bateese." and "The
Devil." were particularly effective. At
the close of his programme he gave a
number of anecdotes which he picked
up in his Southern travels. Illustrating
the negro characteristics.
Mr. Labadie and Robert W. Service
