Sarah Elisabeth Story, wife of Oeorge L. Story and daughter of Major Anthony Davis, died at her noma in this city Saturday night after a brief Ill ness. Four children ana ner nusrana survive her.

She was one or the onginaiora of the Needleworkers' Guild of America- Today hegam another of the bargain weeks at the White Corner, uecono, v.mhin and Third streets. This store has -had a carnival of bargains laatlng for several weeks, in consequence of which its new customers are numbered by the hundreds, and bargain hunters from all parts of the oounty are among its patrons. This Is the largest general store In Portland, ana its iraae is in creasing with surprising alacrity. It ill be well to take advantage oi u superior offerings for this week. They are money-savers. Tho Marks Shoo Company, 26S Morri son, is compenea to give up iu irr' quarters on account of the building ba ng rented for saloon purposes. i ne shoe men, therefore, closed their siore this forenoon for the purpose of mark ing down prices, and this afternoon opened up with the greatest array or shoe bargains seen in this city ror many day. The company will close out its present stock of goods as soon as pos sible, as It has but a few more weeks to remain where it is. Every dollar's worth of goods in the house Is to be disposed of at the prices now marked upon them. Here la a chance for trad ing that will not often be found. Wo have two propositions that we wish we could hammer Into the brains deep down Into the cranlums of every reader of The Journal. One is that we buy the Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma chine direct from the factory for cash, nd sell It to our patrons direct at the regular Jobbers' prices. The Wheeler Wilson, It Is known. Is as good a ma- hlne as any in the world. Our second proposition We buy.. the. Wolff -Ameri can bicycle under the same conditions nd sell the machine on the same terms -at Jobbers' prices. If the public can once realise that this Is actually done. then they will be buying these necessa ries of life at much less than they are buying for at present. Slgel Smith. S Morrison street, Marquam Building. Xn order to Bare the steam-heated col lar and cuff mangle, our esteemed con temporary argues thusly: "Throw the handkerchief on the kettle on the stove and it won't get scorched, but throw the handkerchief on the stove and It will get scorched." This sounds like the talk of a two-year-old. Throw the col lar an cuff mangle In the river and it will sink. The sooner our erring friend realises that he Is up against It and so dispose of his white elephant mangle, the better It will be for himself and his patrons. Why any one will send their bundle to a laundry, where It Is openly proclaimed that all goods Ironed on their several gas-heated machines are de frayed and the fiber rotted away, is a matter that Is beyond our comprehen sion. United States Laundry. Vow Turkish Sift The. Imperial Persian Trading CompanyTebaiwEai- sia. and London, England, has at 347 Alder street, corner Seventh, this city, a splendid selection of rare Persian rugs a selection so superior that It is dlffleultyto attempt to picture Its beauty in words. The Imperial Persian Trading Company is one of the richest concerns doing business with the Persian people, and tha stock of goods it has brought to Portland is one of the finest ever ex hibited on the Pacific Coast. We, want the people of this city te see 'these goods. They are rich and grand beyond the power of words to adequately ex press, and we have, by reason of favor able purchases, been enabled to place them on the market at a price greatly below that ordinarily asked for such rare treasures. A call is solicited. WOULD PREVENT 1L0VE CONTESTS Committee from Calvarv Pres bvterian Church Has Secured Co-operation of District At torney Manning, Announcement Made that Warrants Will Be' Issued Pastime Club Management Says Law Is Obeyed, The committee, consisting of W. J. Honeyman. 1 M. Parrish and John Bnln, recently appointed for the pur pose of endeavoring to put a stop to price lighting in this city, has had In evle W w-ltfr the Mayor ami-Ch lef -of Police, who both stated that in view of the fact that tha City Council had passed an ordinance providing for the licensing of such exhibitions, they had no power to prevent them. Mayor Williams, however, stated that If the Council would pass an ordinance forbidding fights he would see to Us being enforced. Mr. Manning, tho district attorney, on being appealed to, gave the committee his unqualified promise that during his term of office he would see that the state law regarding such exhibitions is rigorously enforced Irrespective of the Attitude of other officials. Therp is no Intention. It In said, of let ting tha matter drop, and should any future matches be attempted the prin cipals and abettors will have to reckon with tho law. Deay Iv Zs Broken. Members of the Pastime Club, under whose auspices recent ring contests have been given, say they have never disobeyed either state of city law. and that they have no Intention of doing so In future. There Is no provision in the state statutes, they claim, against boxing exhibitions or glove contests limited to a certain number of rounds It is urged that no action can be taken to prevent these entertainments. It is not known, however, whether the man agement of the Pastime Club will make a lest case, those opposed to exriiniunns of this character having openly de clared they would cause the Issuance of warrants to prevent further fights. It is announced that this will not prevent the Heppner benefit athletic ex hibition being pulled off. The committee which has been Instru mental In bringing about opposition to contests of this characlr was ap pointed by members of the Calvary Presbyterian Church and has gone about the work systematically, every public officer who might in an official way become involved in case prosecu tion were attempted, having been waited upon. CHURCHES GIVE $1,000 ' ' THEATRICAL OFFERINGS ' Preferred Stock OaUasad (foods. Allen & Lewis' Best Brand. Taylor-Street Methodist Heads the List With Saea.40 Oathollos Give All Their Offerings. About $1,000 was donated st 15 differ ent churches in this city yesterday for the Heppner Bufferers. this being the amount received when the collections were taken up at the morning and evening services. The Catholic churches gave the offerings of all services held during the day and many Protestant churches did the same. Rev. John C. Hughes, pastor of St. Lawrence Church, reported over $60 as the amount contributed by the worshipers at his church. The offering of the congregation of St. Francis' Church amounted to 114.10, while the pastor, Rev. J. H. Blach, will con tribute personally. Tne offerings of 8t. Patrick's Church are reprMtedas large, the exact amount not yet being knort-n. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception con tributed $61,411. Rev. C. J. O'Reilly has charge of the Catholic contributions and will turn them into the general relief fund today. The Taylor-Street Methodist Church raised $262.40, the largest amount re ceived at any one church. Rev. Booth, presiding elder of the Methodist Church In the Heppner District, delivered an address at the Grace Methodist Church yesterday morning, tie asked assist ance of the congregation for tho Hepp ner - sufferers and they generously re sponded. The offering received -was $200. Rev. Alexander Blackburn's con gregation., at the First Baptist Church aave $40.'

The 1'U .Baker Stock Company was- wel comed yesterday with an appreciation which showed unstinted wholesoulness. Mr., George Baker should be chesty over the event, but as he stood in the foyer of his show-shop he was modesty per sonified. . "Haven't a word to say," said the man ager, "but I'm very much as the boy with tbo tin whistle. I know there Is a celebration on and I'm quietly a part Of It." It Is a fact, there were things doing at The Baker Theatre yesterday after noon and night. It was not. the play, "A Glided Fool." so much as It hap pened to bo the clever people who played It.- Not one of the stock company looks tho least the worse for having stumbled over Seattle boardwalks for the last eight weeks: In fact, they look better for the eccerclse. Cathrlne Countlaa has Improved on Puget Sound fog, and George Alison has not lost a pound of flesh by going over a very rocky route. Mlna Gleason was largely a favorite all day yesterday. It's not my purpose to run down tne hole cast of the company, for there la time coming within the nest two weeks to do all this. An apology for either Mr. Baker or myself the for mer for his eye to business probably and the latter for his stupidity but did I not know the members of the com pany by nam it wouia ne impossiDie for mo to find them on the program, so very perplexing is the arrangement In the pamphlet given to patrons. The ad vertising agent must re good or eise he never on earth could get so many so much pars'' into an article which is supposed to be a program, and which, by the way, gives incipient nervous pros tration to the Innocent patron who now and then desires to know who is who. A Glided Fool" Is racy: It is ex cellently played and well staged. Not a mlscue through It all. which shows the character of the high-class com pany, scenery, or sterling tsiuc, mm the orchestra, whlcn is always one fourth the entertainment, could hardly have done better. It Is right snd fetch ing to give non-classical, popular music. Instead of De Ragleschnalskl from a la Tonderbachnltx. People don't under stand the latter, and it Is to their credit that they do not. When the average man or woman says. 'How beautiful the technique, how songful the rhythm," don't believe that they understand half what they say. All week "A Gilded Fool" runs at Tho Baker, and It's a mighty good play and the best that's been there in fully eight weeks or more. szzzaTzisaxxxxxxczsx3Mxarzzzxzss:3rz:::r:3n i . -, ...

WRIGHT The Iowa Jeweler 293 Morrison Street Exoellent TauderlUe. When an occasion presents itself, where encomiums are really due, it be comes a pleasure to bestow them. Just such are In order, regarding the people, with probably one or two exceptions, who appeared In vaudeville at Cordray's last night. I'm going to pass up the headllners whom Mr. Shields had picked out, and begin to talk about that piano player, Hayes, and his friend. Whitehead. Noth ing better has been scheduled In the specialty line on any local stage this season than this duo. Mr. Hayes has the knack, education, talent or tact, call it what you will, of knowing how to play the piano in a manner which pleases the general ear. Mendelssohn's songs with out words, or a sonata In E minor, may sound good to 10 persons In 100. or at least that number will say so, but It Is dollars to doughnuts that the music played by Hayes last night has the race by a mile. Whitehead, the friend who dances.. Is excellent in his business, and there Is no mistake. I want to say a few things about the Dagmars. known as the barrel Jumpers. They are heralded from the Alhambru, London, Eng.. but It matters not If they came from Kalama, there have been no better or more capable acrobats seen about Portland stages In many a day. If ever. Their work Is very meritorious. Another pleasing feature is John Welch, the monologue blackface artist and slneer and dancer. His work Is re freshing and when "Billy" Van. the Prince of Minstrels, saia, "weicn is one of the best." it Is believed that van knew Just what he was saying. Estelllta. in her Spanish dances, as sisted by Senor Garbadon, la a splendid feature, and ranks as a top-notcher In vaudevllllsm. Raymond and company were good, but somewhat disappointing. Mr. Raymond has a reputation gained by his excellent work as leading man for Blanche Walsh, but ho needs some body to write a good sketch for htm and then show people he is stlu on top. His company Is better than he. Mr. Hymer and Miss Kent (although I believe they are husband and wife) do better. Their melodramatic sketch Is well done, although the point of the piece Is obscure. I refuse to say any thing of ihe Illustrated songs. The lantern work Is excellent, and Mr. Shields should turn Into "songs with out words," that's all. The polyscope picture are very entertaining. The 4udeville will be given at Shields' Park tonight if It does not rain. In the lat ter event Cordray's Theatre will be the place of amusement. It rained last night, la why the park did not open. "It's an ill Wind," Etc. TOUCH ON SOMEBODY? Well-should say it was but what do you care so long as you are benefited ? About a thousand pieces of fine dress calicos bought fnonths ago, for Spring selling, wandered away got lost in transit, and wound up at Portland, Maine. They were billed to OLDS, WORTMAN C8, KING, Portland, Ore. After weeks of delay' and tireless work by express companies' tracers the lost was found, and set right on its long journey overland.

The show has been very cordially received, and while not packed last night, the house was comfortably filled. There Is one bad feature of the Bhow, and that is the tire some Intermission. No one cares to sit and stare at a drop curtain for 10 min utes and listen to iiiawatha" by the orchestra. If Mr. Baker would put on an extra number and forget about this Intermission he would find that his per formances woulu be added to greatly. There is no need to mention again the excellence of the work of the performers. Endorses Benefit. Last night at Cordray's during the progress of the vaudeville entertainment Mr. Shields, the conductor of the attrac tions, appeared on the stage and an nounced that tomorrow afternoon there would be given by the Heilig-Baker thea tres of Portland a grand benefit per formance at the Marquam for tho suf ferers at Heppner. ' He said that the ca pable artists of the Raker Stock Com pany and the vaudeville people now giv ing such high-class entertainments at tho new Empire would contribute their talent. Mr. Shields also said that local persons of pronounced ability would also take part. He called attention to the quality of merit these different play ers possess and urged that all who had the feeling of charity, attend the per formance as there could not possibly be a better one given ior a more wormy cause. "Particularly Is credit due the management of the theatres, so engaged, and also -to the musicians and stage hands who contribute." said Mr. Shields as he again Insisted that all try and at tend the benefit. presenting his great success, "If I Were King." The grand tour of this coun try that Mr. Sothern Is making is of unusual Interest as it presents Sothern in his farewell appearance In Justin Huntley McCarthy's drama, "If ,1 Were King," a play that haa taken Its place among the great poetla dramas of dra matic literature and which has given to Sothern greater recognition from a popular standpoint than any other which he has ever presented excepting "Hamlet." For this farewell tour Mr. Sothern presents "If I Were King" In a manner and with a support that promises thea tregoers the great delight of the dra matic year. Mr. Sothern's appearance In this play has been eagerly awauea, ana from advance Interest shown, his wel come will be tne most conspicuous ox any great artist that has visited this city in years. Sothern brings here all the magnmcent scenic Investiture, the large dramatic organization of principals and super numeraries and the artistic embellish ments from the Garden Theatre.

Wil son as King Louis XI, Roland Buck stane as Guy Taberie, William Harris as Thibault de'Aussigny, Stephen Wright as Tristan and Margaret Illlngton as Huauettc. But it is upon Sothern's rendition of the role of Francis 'Villon and the ever changing environment of this plctur esoue character that the public is un doubtedly most interested.
