A PRESS TRIBUTE.
"The mezzo soprano, Pauline Mil
ler Chapman, ha many admirers
wherever she has Appeared. During
the last yar she ha won, laurels in
Europe. She appeared before select
and critical audience in both Italy
and Germany. . ,
"The Americans in Berlin were
proud of her success, as of all the
thousands in that musical center she
was one of the few to receive recog
nition. "Criticisms favorable to Mrs. Chap
man's concert work which were first
published in the F.uropcan musio
centers already have been reprinted
in Oregon papers. But it is perhaps
the personal things that Mrs. Chap
man chcri-dics with the most pleas
ure, the personal letters of praise from
artists, testimonials. ' When she fin
ished her aria with the Symphony
Orchestra, the court director, Paul
Prill, directing the orchestra, caught
both her hands and said 'bravo,
bravo, Wundcrschon Stimme,' while
the orchestra, also, applauded her,
and the day after her own concert,
Madam Lampcrti embraced her and
declared before all that she was "a
second Sembrich only with a different
kind of voice," and her husband,
Professor Lampcrti, the great teacher
of Sembrich, the world's" most finish
ed singer, expressed to another prom
'inent vocal teacher in Berlin his be
lief that there were not 10 better
voices in the world than Mrs. Chap
man's. -"Professor
Brown of Berlin, form
erly of New York, added his tribute
in the artist's room, declaring that it,
her concert, was one of the most
uxorious things he ever heardand
Madam Ccrstcr's prediction that Mrs.
Chapman would become the first
singer of America; that she had the
voice, the temperament, the physique,
everything in her favor.
"A large laurel wreath reaching to
her shoulder and daily bedecked with
ribbons, presented by her admirers in
Berlin, is highly treasured y Mrs.
Chapman. However, Jier devotion to
her home and her three children will
always prevent Mrs. Chapman's leav
ing them to accept the concert tour
over Germany and the continent
offered her.
"Mrs. Chapman's last concert en
gagement was at her former home
city in Illinois, under the auspices of
the Ladies' Musical Club of that city,
where she was welcomed by the larg
est audience in the history of the city.
It was in this place that she made her
first public appearance at three years
of age, singing a solo in a church en
tertainment at that time. She has
been a singer practically all her life.
"Mrs. Chapman has refused all in
ducements to enter the grand opera
work, although she was the only stu
dent with Professor Lamperti not as
piring to an operatic career. Her
dramatic voice was found to be es
pecially adapted to the operatic litera
ture and she has covered the German.
Italian, French and Russian, operatic
soprano roles. She also has special
ized in the Liedcr and song forms,
V
COOPER AROUSES INTEREST
OF QUEEN CITY RESIDENTS
An adequate idea of the hitensc in
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr. Cooper during the past
year with his theories and medicines
is given in the following article
which appeared in the Cincinnati
Tost while Cooper wa9 introducing
his ideas to the pcopU of that city.
The article says: "The beginning of
Mr. Cooper's second week in Cincin
nati gives every indication that he is
to enjoy the same astonishing suc
cess here as in other cities.
"FronAhe first day of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have
steadily increased, until now it has
reached a point' where several thou
sand talk with him each day. The
entire city seems to have become in
' terested in his theory that the human
stomach is degenerate, and he already
has an army of followers in Cincin
nati who seem positive that his claims
are correct.
"A number of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense
faith in Cooper's' preparations, were
secured. The following are selected
from these statements and are charac
teristic of them all: Mrs. M. E. Emer
son of 630 West Court .street, said: I
; have suffered, with stomach; trouble
' and Constipation for a year, or so.
When I ate I would have bloated
spells, sour stomach, fermentation,
bad taste in my mouth. In the morn
ing I was as tired as when I went to
bed. I had a dull pain in the lower
part of my back. I have taken almost
one bottle of the New Discovery and
am so wonderfully improved that I
have come down here to thank Mr.
Cooper in person and obtain more of
the medicine.'
"Another individual interviewed
was Mr. J. II. Brooks, living at S27
Walnut street, who had the following
to say: 'For the past 18 months I
Ijave been a constant sufferer from
catarrh of the head and stomach. My
nasal passage would become inflamed
and sore. I would have severe head
aches, which affected my eyes, and
great crusts of matter would drop in
to the throat, causing an irritation of
the bronchial passage, until the stom
ach finally became poisoned. When I
would lay down at night a phlegm
would gather in my throat until it
almost choked me, and would cause
an annoying cough. Half a bottle of
Cooper's New Discovery gave me re
lief and when the first bottle was
finished, I felt like a new man. I am
now completely cured and ' consider
Cooper's New Discovery the greatest
catarrh, blood and stomach remedy in
the world."' . '.''...
- The Cooper preparations have been
wonderfully, successful throughout
the United States. We consider them
remarkable medicines and -would be
pleased to explain the nature of them,
More Than Million Women Take
Up The Fight Aigrette! Still Torn
From Bleeding Backs of Birds For
Otheri.
NEW YORK, April 13.-Less bird
blood has been spilled to decorate
the Easter bonnets of American wo
men this year than ever in recent his
tory, it was declared by experts in
this city to-day. Based on careful
examination of the millinery market)
as well as reports from agents
throughout the country,, this conclu
sion was announced at the headquar
ters of the National Association of
Audubon Societies. With the help of
the million women members of the
National Federation -of Women's
Clubs and other organizations, the
Audobon workers promises to keep up
their fight against this fashionable
form of bird butchery till preparation
for Easter Sunday no longer means
a massacre of breeding birds.
That the minority among the wo
men of this country still demands the
bloody scalpi of the mother heron
for aigrettes is shown by the illicit
and secret traffic in these plumes
which officers of the Audubon assoc
iation assert is today being con
ducted by the plume hunters. Al
though the Easter carnage among
this sightly species has practically
exterminated it in all of its old haunts
in the United States, sections of
South America are now being se
cretly scoured, as well as southern
F.uropc, Africa and Asia, for this nup
tial plume of the breeding heron,
ttalked in their repeated attempts to
secure legislation in New York State
to make prosecution of such traffic
possible, the Audubon workers are
to-day unable to effectively check the
distribution from this city of aigret
tes irrespective of where they come
from, to the women who still wear
them.
Wherever the milliners still per
sist in offering for sale such illicit
goods, however, the Audubon as
sociation is to-day taking active meas
ures to stamp out the practice, which
women's organizations in every town
in the country are writing them they
no longer countenance. Seven, mil
linery establishments in Columbus
and Cincinnati have just been con
victed and heavily fined, it was re
ported by the Audubon agents today
for having aigrettes in their posses
sion for sale. Until this traffic is fin
ally stopped and the plumage of all
wild birds from this or any other
country is' no longer handled by the
milliners, the Audubon workers de
clare their campaign will be fought
on along these lines. This movement
they declare, is international, not sec
tional or local.
"It is gratifying to learn this year
that American women are standing
so solidly behind us in our long fight
against this Easter massacre of the
mother birds'.'; said William Dutcher,
president of the National Association
of Audubon Societies at its head
quarters, 141 Broadway to-day. "I
am hearing from women's organiza
tions all over the country every day
to this effect and I notice that Tur
key feathers and other domestic bird
ornaments are taking the place of the
ravaged plumes of the butchered wild
fowl. We shall not rest, however,
till we can put a complete stop to the
sale of wild birds' plumage by the
milliners and to this end we call
upon every good woman and mother
in the land to help us.
. THE PLAIN TRUTH,
What More Can Astoria People
; Ak? J
When well known residents and
highly-respected people of Astoria
make such statements as the follow
ing, it must carry conviction to every
reader. ; '" , j
Mrs. E. Haggblom, corner Ninth
and Harrison streets, Astoria, Ore),
says: "For 10 years 1 suffered
acutely from kidney trouble " which
gradually grew more severe until J
became alarmed.' My back was so
weak and painful and I suffered from,
such severe dizzy spells that I could
hardly get around. At last I was
forced to take to my bed and rej
mained there for a long time. My
kidneys were irregular in action and
the secretions so profuse as to cause
me a great deal of suffering. At last
I decided to try a good kidney rem
edy and procured a box of Doan's
Kidney" Pills at Charles Rogers &
Son's drug store. 'The results that
followed their use were most satis
factory. I continued using them and
it was not long before I was com
pletely cured. I have used thenvand
it was not long before I was com
pletely cured. I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills on some occasions since,
to keep my kidneys in good order and
can conscientiously say I have not
had any recurrence of the trouble
since they cured me."

AMERICAN CEMENT.
Government statistics show a de
crease of 199.483 barrels in imports of
Portland cement during the year end
ing December 31, 1907, as compared
with 1906, while the exports for the
corresponding period show an in-
cretase of, 317,231 barrels, says Ce
ment Age. Thus the foreign trade
records bear out the statement made
a year or more ago that the increase
in imports and decline in exports was
merely a temporary condition grow
ing out of the vast home consumption
of cement It is likely that the future
will witness a marked increase in ex
ports of American Portland cement,
and there is certainly no reason to
anticipate that imports will increase.
From every point of tthe globe where
cemen is used American consuls write
that vigorous and systematic efforts
on the part of American manufactur
ers Would do much to establish a
lucrative trade and it is probable that
in some places, at least, sales of
American cement will be materially
increased.
