Scat sule ojen this morning at Orlffln's book atore. Terry McKean, who la now In San Francisco, will probably effect an en gagement with the Margarita Fischer company which open In thla city neat Monday evening for a week's engage ment. Mr. McKean I recognised by thu best dramatic critic to be the lead Ing man of the coast In light comedy roles and striking character parte. He recently ehowed with Bob Fltasimmons In the "Honest Blacksmith." A small boy by the name of Hansen fell overboard near Ross, Ktgglna & Co.'a atore Chrlstmaa day but was res cued without a great deal of difficulty. Tho Incident created considerable ex citement at the time and quite a crowd collected on the aiot, and the story that was passed around waa to the effect that the .lad had met his death. He Is nllve and hearty enough however, nt the present time to live through several more Chrlstnmses. Mr. and Mr. H. C. Thompson and aon Harold of Portland, Mr. and Mrs. (V H HIiriHns nnd Mr. L. C. McCloud of this city, were entertained Christmas day at the home of Mr. and Mm. D. K. Warren In Wnrrenton. The beau tiful residence waa profusely decorated with holly, onlms and other appropri ate plants and greens of the aeaaon. Besides an ck-iuntly served dinner, a Chrlstmaa tree, attended with charm and beauty, delighted the houra away making the day only too brief for the honored guests. Mrs. Julia Price of Skamokawa was found dead In her bed early Christmas morning by her aon. Mr. Price waa 72 years of age and had not been well for some time, but wa considered much Improved of lata and Wednesday evening attended a Christmas tree en tertainment and seemed to enjoy the fetlvltlee. . Thla extra exertion I thought, however, to have been too much for ' the aged lady' feeble strength. About t o'clock the follow ing morning her son entered her' room, presumably to see how his mother wa resting, and was greatly shocked to d Hoover that rhe had died during the night. The funeral was held yeaterday with Interment at Skamokawa. The bark Madagascar hue troubles of her own and there aeems to be no let ting up on them. Two capstan have been broken and an anchor became fouled several day ago. After that there was a brief respite, but Chrlst mna day she broke out again. , The first thing that happened wa the drag ging of an anchor. Another . was dropped and thea the two of them got fouled of each other. Tuga put to the vessel's assistance and aha wa where her gearing will be repaired. This was all bad enough, but to cap the climax six men took French leave dur ing the night and bav. mc managed to elude all efforts to retake them. John Olln and wife are In the city from Chinook and will remain her. a few day before leaving for Little Kock, 111., where Mr. Olln will enter a con servatory of music, Mr. Olln I a performer of ability on both organ and piano, consllerlng the limited time he ha applied to those Instruments, but Is desirous of becoming more proficient and eventually adopting music as his profession. He Intends making pipe organ his specialty. . Mr. Itanle Mayhan and Miss Bessie fihepatd were married at the home of James Mahan, Franklin avenue and Fifteenth street, Christmas eve, Key. William Seymour Short, rector of Grace church, officiating. After the ceremony.whleh was performed Ut f ront of aXlirlstmas tree, the couple and the few friends present sat down to a dainty lunch. The gift were a full set of china from the brother of the groom and a water set from friends In Portland. The members of the Wahkow club entertained their friends with an en joyable dancing party last night in Hanthorn's hall. - A feature of the ev ening wa the presence of Santa Claus, who courteously kept the guests sup plied with liquid refreshment. The young men used every effort to cause the evening to pass pleasantly and these efforts .were certainly not un availing. Excellent music was furn ished by the Columbia orchestra".' Though it ha been suggested In some tlrck-s that the prevailing disease In thl city that has been termed scar let fever 1 In reality some other mal ady, It Is, nevertheless, true that it Is proving quite as fatal as though It wvre In fact the dreaded contagion, A prominent physician has advised that the schools be .Indefinitely closed a the disease Is rapidly assuming the pro portions of an eplmedlc. It Is very proUnl.li. that the mahidy is the scarlet fever, as reported, and every precaution must be used to keep it down. There la an unsightly condition of thlig on Ninth street between Bond and Aator that requires looking Into M. Busman, fictitiously known as the cattle king, sold three quarter of beef last Wednesday to a local concern and the customer, being for some reaaon or other diasatlBfted with the purchase, re turned the goods. Mr. Susman refus ed to accept the beef and so the quar ters were dumped on the sidewalk in front of his place of, business... Susman Initiating they have passed out bf" his hands, refuses to remove them; the oth.-r party, having repudiated the pur chase, declines to further concern him self In the matter, and so for three days they have remained distributed about on the sidewalk. It might be well for the right authoritlea to beatlr themselves and get the obstruction out of the way. Some of the visitors to the big Portland fair might visit the city and it wouldn't be nice for them to see. The custom followed by many resi dents of this city In allowing wood plies to remain on the streets for a length of time Is not only shocking from an artistic point of view but la a decided menace to life and limb. Wednesday night the No. 1 hose wagon narrowly escaped getting demolished by a num ber of thesa obstacles. In such an event It I only reasonable to suppose that the driver and his team would not have escaped unscathed. The spirited nnlmala were tearing up the street in the direction of the fire In the Welch block.' The wind was blowing a gale and beating rain In the driver's face, ao that It waa with difficulty anything could ba se-in. To add to thla there waa no street light, at the very point where It was most needed, so that the team waa fairly upon a wood pile be foie It could be seen. The horses in stinctively leaped, Jerking the wagon after them, and landed In the middle of the pile. A few more leap and stumbles and the obstacle was cleared. Not half a block beyond, behold, an other wood pile. Fortunately there was a little more light at thla point, and the obstruction waa avoided, but Shirts for Everybody We have enough; and they're all of the right kind; and for all sorts of occa sions, from business to full dress. They're Cluett-Peabody shirts Cluett, Monarch another way of saying good shirts, that fit. Collars to go on them; neckties to go on the collars; and all sorts of good furnishings. P. A. Stokes CLOTHING CLOTHING another one waa encountered a few seconds lat;r on the opposite side of the street. It seems a miracle that a seri ous mishap did not occur, but the hose wagon managed to reach the Welch block la time to assist In extinguishing the most menacing incipient conflagra tion that baa occurred in this city for year. - It has been suggested that if wood pile must be kept on the prin cipal street In the city, It might be well to hang out danger lights for the safety of the public. .
