That a street railway mall service will stabllshed la Portland la almost aa- Sured. "Benefits to the suburbs will be ten fold," said Postmaster Bancroft this morning. "I have made tours over the various routes In the business and sub urban districts, and especially in the latter do I Aad Just complaints regard ing delayed deliveries and collections. Portland has since put on long dresses and at the present time she associates In grown-up society. The city Is a rec ognised factor In receipts, and ranks fiext to Ban Francisco In permanent business, when compared to any mu nicipal governmeat west of the Missouri river. "My great desire Is to overcome the difficulties of suburban delivery and col lection, and I am convinced that a rail way car, under the support of the Gov ernment, Is about the only means to for the proper requirements of our zena. I have been in correspondence wlta Postmaster Ueneral and I find that he Is unqualifiedly In favor of the street railway mall oar. The Inauguration of the system has been successful In cities the else of Portland, and when once es tablished has been found indispensable. Seattle has a well equipped service of this description, and it remains with the managements of the two local street railway corporations to enter Into the proposition with ifc spirit of fairness i and In a manner equal to that of other corporations holding franchises In other I cities. "I am determined to have the resi dents of Portland represented as they ahould be, and aa the heads of the de partment are satisfied that this com munity Is handicapped. I see no reason Why Influential citizens should not Jump In and make things busy. Portland Is the best city on the Coast, and especlnlly has she demonstrated this fac t during the last year. I have the kindliest feel ing tabard our competitors one of which is Seattle but I am free to state right now that our resident mall mat ters exceeds that of the Hound city by a ratio of one and twenty-one hun dredths to one. A floating population never tells the worth of permanence of a community. We will have a perfect mall department and 1 will, before long, give The Journal a photograph of the new mall car which will be designed for local use."

By the addition of these men to the local force, the handling of late mall matter will be facilitated to a large degree.

CLARK TOO SICK TO COME WEST Hero of the Oregon Told to Remain Home by Physicians. The first definite Information that Rear-Admiral Clark will not accom pany President Roosevelt to Portland was received by Colonel R. W. Mitchell, secretary of the Clark Testimonial Com mittee, this morning. In a dispatch to Colonel Mitchell, written at Cinnabar. Mont, William Loeb, secretary to the President, says: "Your telegram received. Admiral Clark notified the President that his phy sicians advised him against making the trip." Admiral Clark Is now In Philadelphia, and it is not probable that the people of Portland will soon have an oppor tunity to see the hero of the Oregon. IT NEVER WENT TO WASTE Cabbage, not too earefuly preserved. was an attraction la the Northern Pa cific Terminal Company's yards this morning. A carload of that vegetable had been shipped to this city, but the ravage of decomposition got In their deadly work before it reached Its des tlnation, and when the produce landed in this city It needed no advance agent to herald Its approach. It was audible a mile. The cabbages had been care fully packed in crates. They were un loaded and preparations made for de stroylng thorn us a means of protection to tho general public. Meantime they were unguarded and free to all. Rapidly the news spread along tha water front that there were free vegetables to be had In the railroad yards. From every point of the compass soon began to gather wharf-rats and the VtfT-rafT of the city's streets. Straight to the car of cabbages they assembled, and Boon, with a self-assertive head stowed away under each aim, they would make, haste to their domiciles, elbowing tnelr way through the strenuous smell to freedom and pure air. The cabbage was spoiled, but it did not go to waste. enrxx. service icui, (Journal Special Service.) WASHINGTON. D. C. April 15.

Marlon Crawford. In which she will he seen at tha Marxism Grand Monday and Tuesday. In the flrnt act of the play Mrs. Prune hs to appear as I'nonw, high prleste of an Indian temple at Delhi, and the tume aim wss to wear caused her some thought. When she was in Italy hint summer, visiting Mr. Crawford and his family at their villa at Sorrento. he mentioned her trouble to the novellitt. He went to his study and took down a nklrt which he handed to her with the reninrk: "I guesn this will be the thlnx " He explained that the .klrt had been given him by the keeper of tln Temple of Joolah in DelW. when he hud visited thnt place to eecure local material for "The Witch of Prague.

Hanford Ima devoted a great deal of care and study to the coh tujnlng of his productlonn of "The Tam ing of the Shrew," "Modi Ado About Nothing" and 'The Merchant of Venice." Although Shakespeare selected foreign localities bs the scenes for his comedies, there was no need for him to go out of his own country to seek models for their attlro, for the elegant ladles and gentle men of Queen Elisabeth's time chose In discriminately f mm . the sartorial ele gances of all Europe and made fashions their own. There were no absolute arbi ters of fashion as there are at the present day: It was a gorgeous go-as-you-please race for finery, and however fantastic the result might be. It was Justified If the effect was startling and the material gnve sufficiently convincing evidence thst money was no object. Mr. Hanford. wrjo has always been an enthusiast of the matter of stnge properties, has made nn especial study of the raiment which graced the person of .Benedick and bis contemporaries. For Instance, the hat which he wears Is technically known to the stage wardrobe mistress as a "Beef-Enters' hat." being much the shape of that worn by the palace func tionary and was thus corrupted from the French "Buffet ler." it Is in shape al most Identical with the "statute cap" of Shakespeare's time, so-called because it was"Striotly commanded to be worn for the encouragement of home manufac ture. Any person who did not wear upon a Sunday and holiday a cap of wool mnde entirely in England by members of the trade of calipers was liable to a fine of -three shillings and four pence for each day's transgression. It Is to be feared that the Hencdlck of the tago an offender against this unique form of protective tarlfT. for his head wen r, while conforming to the shape of the hats described, is made of silk. The feminine, tendency to borrow masculine attire was as strong In those days as it is now. The tabard, which was at first the sleeveless coat of the humble plow man, came to be a splendid broldered garment which Sli Knight loved to weur over his arm. Mr. Hanford's return to the Marquam Orand next Friday and Saturday with three plays will constitute a rare classi cal treat. The repertoire: Friday night, "The Taming of the Shrew": Saturday mati nee "Mlich Ado About Nothing"; Satur day night, "The Merchant of Venice." Says Work'His Already Begoa on New Railroad in Inland Empire. Joseph McCaba, a well known rail road man, traveled all the way from Walla Walla to thia city to take his daughter to a baseball game. He arrived this morning and has spent a large portion of the day in mourning over the fact that he came too late to see yesterday's splendid 14-lnnlng exhibition. If there ever was a true fan that In dividual la Joseph McCabe. He will re main in Portland only long enough to witness this afternoons game, ami will leave for Walla Walla tonight on his return Journey. Mr. Mitabe la vice-president snd gen eral manager of the Washington & Co lumbia River Railroad and president of the Walla Walla Southern Railroad Company, Just formed. He makes his headquarters at Walla W alla and is com pelled to stay there tne greater portion of his time. But Mr. MCahc loves base ball The better the game the more passionate la his devotion to the sport, and frequently, when the beckoning score board for the moment obtains the ascendancy, he will take flying trips to Portland. Seattle, Tacoma or Spokane, there to remain until he has seen enough of ...e National to at least temporarily satlfy the demands of the life-slied fan that occupies him. Mr. McCabe keeps close watch over the scores, knows the averages made by players and can name pennant win ners away back In the eighties, for he lias been a fan ever since before that term was Invented. Surveying Vew Boad. To a reporter for. The Journal Mr. McCabe stated that the new railroad company, or which he Is the head, will extend lines Into the Blue Mountain districts of Eastern Washington and Oregon to obtain timber and grain. We have surveyors out now. he said, '"running lines and ascertaining the most feasible route. The road will be built up Mill Creek from Walla Walla, paralleling the narrow gauge of the O. R. & N. for a short distance. I cannot outline the route exactly as yet because our engineers have not re ported. The general direction taken by the line and the country It Is to tup Is all I can tell. Of course we will i choose the route which will be best suited to our needs and cheapest to con struct. There is an abundance of splen did timber In the Blue Mountains and much wheat land that Is now so far from transportation lines that It can not be farmed with profit to lis owners '' Mr. McCabe said lie did not know how soon grading would begin on the new road, but gave assurance that It would be built at the earliest possible date. A great deal of Interest Is being taken In the Walla Walla A Southeastern Rail road by residents of the Inland Em pire, as It Is rumored to be heading Into the Wallowa country and to be Inspired by J. J. Hill and the Northern Pacific.
