The order has been meeting monthly during tho summer, but hereafter tho members Will gather regularly every week. Mrs. Rose Parker, wife of Lieu tenant Hugh A. Parker of the regu lar army, well known in Portland so ciety circles, and a daughter of Mrs. J. N. Sutton of 874 Iloyt street, yesterday afternoon filed suit In the circuit court for $50,000 damages from tho Hlcks-Chatteu engraving company, alleging that the company had used her photograph In a maga zine advertisement without her con sent, says tho Portland Journal. It Is charged that the company secured two of Mrs. Parker's photo graphs and used them In advertise ments of tho company's business which wero printed In the Pacific Monthly magazine In the months of December, February and March. Mrs. Parker knew nothing of the uso of her likeness by the company, she says, until the advertisements ap peared. Sho says she never sought publicity, was never before tho pub lic In any way, and never gavo the company tho right to uso her pho tograph. She alleges that she, as tho wife of an officer of tho regular army, has to travel with her husband to the dif ferent army posts In the United States and the various islands to which ho Is ordered. The use of her photograph was a wrongful In vasion on tho privacy of her life, it is alleged, had caused unfavorable commont ovreywhere she had to go, and had a tendency to bring her Into disrepute among her friends and ac quaintances genorally. Montal anguish, sorrow and cha grin" aro alleged by Mrs. Parker to havo resulted from tho publication damaging her to the extent of $50, 000. Lieutenant Parker Is now sta tioned In Cuba.

Sumner and Tioga leave Marshfield at 7 o'clock Bkarp. t ,HjJj WAS BOUND TO HAVE THE DWELLING Mr. D. Ferguson, tho real estate man, has a mansion on io road to North Bend beyond Ferndale. It's a fine mansion, too, and the location Is beautiful. You can look through tho trees and down Into the bay and see for off over tho waters to the hills and forests beyond. For scenery It can't be beaten and for convenience tho houso has no superior. It Is not for rent. Mr. Ferguson is living thero with his family. But the crowds aro coming to Coos Bay and they want houses. A lot of them nre being built up there, but not enough. So much needed aro houses In Marshfield, North Bend and every where on Coos Bay that Mrs. Fergu son wasn't surprised, exactly, but was startled when a van stopped In front of her houso yesterday and tho driver tried to put a load of furniture Into tho front room. He said his custo mer had rented tho houso and In It should go. It took a little time to make him understand that It was a mistake. Finally after a heated col loquy with Mr. Ferguson's real estate offlco by telephone the drlvor was convinced that he was at the wrong: houso and apologized. Mr. Ferguson, wishes somebody would build those hundred houses the Chamber of Com merce is advertising for, so that peo ple can get in out of the wot. Ho doesn't want to be forced to be a. landlord.
