Rlslbles, of certain persona pot worth mentioning, have convulsed with the unurbane practice which waa largely the ahow at the carnival ran br a traveling band of mountebank but for whose grafting proclivities that popular order of Woodmen of the World re required to be responsible.

Pleasure, be cause there happena a bright 'place of amusement out at Twelfth and Mor rison streets, where the treatment of patrons ia courteous. There haa been a wholeaom show a-going ail weak and the exclualveneaa of the audlencea haa been noticeable. Satisfaction permeates the Empire, : Show Shop, and aa It la "to be or not to be," with th new enterprise, It la a safe guess to say that Ufa will be long. By regreta is meant that unavoidable 'happening which now and then bring . an actor or two into town whoa only ability Ilea in a capability to sail under , falae color. However, th Empire how are good. They are so largely likable that every night they are be . coming more popular. At Shields' Park there bar been food times going on all week, and it ia judge that they will continue.

First among th summer's gaieties mast always be reckoned th program of th Empire Theatre. Next week, be ginning on Monday night, July 17, a hoajt of new performers will cast pearl of mirth and melody at the feet of Port land's amusement seekers. A man who can shoot a candle off another man's no In th dark I only a little more wtmderfuS than th i who will allow him to d It but two such marvels are Lots Brothers, the specialty artists, who com direct from the San ' Francisco Orpheus to top th Empire program. Th poetry of motion will be exempli fled by Fred WaddelL th swmger of Clubs. This Juggler of Indlaa clubs produce many wonderful kaleidoscopic effects, surrounds himself with bias Ing circle of spinning lights, toss the club through the air in a masy tniri. and evokes as much applause as an enthusiastic audience can extend aim. Neither the quality nor the quantity . or the mirth furnished by Robinson and Grant, the Lilliputian comedians, can be measured by their sis. Th two diminutive fun-maker do a laugh-producing sketch which 1 calculated to make everybody happy. George W. Moore haa that huororous ability which enables a man to do a monologue turn. the most difficult and most laughable of Ml the comedian different lines of work. Loralne and Howell are as spick a span --ef -specialty speaker as -ever -faced th Empire, footlights, while Waldron Broth ers, the German character artists, are two enterprising entertainers who ex cel as exponents of the odd. Their Dutch dialect will be heard in amusing fllalogues and the brothers have a repu tation second to none in this line of de lineation. Dllges, the gymnast, the man whose inuscles would make Hercules envious, Will also appear at the Empire for' the coming week, while Allen J. Shaw, the marvelous manipulator of coins and cards, the magical mystifler of the people who watch him. has also been retained. IPI I I 1 1 GZOBGE W. XOOBB, Honoloflist, at Empire, Starting Monday. "th legitimate in th memory. which will linger long Llnl. Evans, whose fame was made several year ago 4n "Fogg s Kerry" and kindred playa, but who has been appear Ing of late in th vaudeville theater In ketches adapted to her sprightly style, 1 going to head her own company again. In September, under the direction of Claxtpn Wllstach. Miss Evana will ap pear In "At Cosy Corners." the pretty play which waa last season successfully presented by Adelaide inurston. Olga Nethersole hss secured a play from th pan of Jean Rtchepln, the French dramatist that is said to glv her amotions! powers full scope. Mrs. Craig 1 at work on to adaptation, and when completed Miss Nethersole will bring th play out in London thl win ter. In the meantime n win suck to "Sapho," taking it on a provincial tour covering the time that she will be away from London. If her new play is a suc cess It will b brought over to thl coun' try latr. Upon th Palisades, somewhere be' tween Union Hill and Guttenburg, N. J., is to be a structure built for the pro duction of th "Passion Play" and dedl oated to sacred music. The project Is an assured fact according to the state ment made Dr. Wolfgang Ooets of Hoboken, who has held a copyright on a version of the "Passion Play" since April 14. 1883. Th building will be known as the Temple of Music, and will cost fl.000,000. Mrs. Frank J. Mackey gave a private theatrical performance In London on June 29 thai was one of the most ex pensive affaire of its kind In recent years, Bhe engaged Maaame Jeanne Granier and her French company to per form "Lea Amants." Th performance lasted three hour. Mr. Mackey guests numbered only 110. and the cost to the hostess was in the neighborhood of 110,-000. Miss Mabel Dlxey. a pretty girl who received flattering notices for her por trayal of Celeste, the young French in genue In "A Fool and His Money," dur ing the New Tork run of that comedy, 111 play the same part next season. Miss Dlxey Is a sister to the noted come dian, Henry E. Dixon, and is clever in dialect parts. The news comes from California that Flora Zabelle, the young Armenian sou brette in "King Dodo," will soon be a comic opera manageress. Miss Zabelle organizing an American lyrlo com pany of 40 people to present comic opera In Constantinople and other large cities Turkey and the farther Orient. The project has aroused considerable Inter est, not only In theatrical circles, but In the world of venture generally, as it will be the first American theatrical enter prise in the Orient. DIAMOND GLISTENINGS Going. ; Heavenward. Some advice 1 good. Thtelman. Th bamboo tree. Tho whole team. And Van on first. She was ther with th bell. Who failed to ee his great stop. And soni rejoice when Mosklman lose. That double play has never been equaled. i There were two familiar faoag missing yesterday.- It waa executed fen nolltel and cleverly that on couldn't keep , track or the ball. Again it must be said that sacra- mento should hav been whitewashed. The run was a gift. Everybody rejoiced when "rolling pin' Cr6U waa thrust from the limelight That fellow has no room for brains, abnormal conceit supplementing that roqulslto commodity. Mr. Levy was Justified In fining and ordering Captain Graham to th bench. Graham is a splendid fellow, but he lost his tamper. If Mike Fisher can't defeat the Browns with thre pitcher, Cutter, iwsgaraia ana , Brown, in the game, then how In th nam of wild gees doe he expect to capture victories? "If we don't win today, says Fisher, 1 am determined to don a uniform my self tomorrow and proceed to the ooachr Ing line. Then you can reat aaaured that there will be a few feather fly Ing. And I want to say right her, that don t believe in 'advice to umpires.' Should wo loae two more I will take the team to Arlsona, where I fqund Hogan several years sgo. Surely we will fly today." If Fisher would don a policeman's uniform and arrest several of his boisterous player. HUdebrand for one, thing would go along better. Cutter really thought that he was the star from the Eaat selected by Sacra mento and not Providence, to caat a spell over the Browna, but th result was a rude awakening, one more show ing the weakness of human nature, the folly of day dreams, the sadness of It all. Andy Anderson's admlrera proceeded to shower him with flower when he approached the batter' box on two oc casion yesterday. They were deserved. nd Andy responded by sacrificing cleverly and hitting safely. The bluff of the "incompetent" rarely lasts long. His shortcomings are dis covered as soon as he essays to do any thing that requires thought. In at tempts to be funny his productions are crude, censure becomes abuse and his whole tenor has the flavor of sour ridi cule. The worth of such "things." call them by their proper terms, are useless, nat, stale and unprofitable. AMERICAN LEAGUE Sadie Martlnot's new play Is an emo tional drama combining the merits of East Lynne" and "Frou Frou," and treats of the love of mother and daugh ter, and will, therefore, appeal strongly to- the sentiments of women.

Th illustrated song will be new and th polyscope win be loaded with new moving pictures. Bad of the SUL Tonight will be the final offering of the current bill at Shields' Park. This is th bill of which everyone la talking. It Is great The Winter Oardm. Th worth of the splendid musical concerts given every evening in the Winter Garden by the Polmatier Sisters of New York Is being thoroughly ap preciated by the people of Portland. Each of the five sisters Is an artist. thoroughly skilled in music and capable of playlag any instrument The cornet playing of Mlsa Helene Polmatier Is by far the best heard in this city in a long time. Her intonation, pure and true, and possessing the ability to produce on her different instruments tones of sweetness and delicacy. Miss E. Phyllis Polmatier excels In playing the trom bone and In singing. ' Her pleasing so prano voice has all the rich qualities. strength, clearness and sweetness, and her selections are sung with the feeling and confidence of an experienced singer. Miss Pauline Polmatier Is the accom panlest, besides being a master of the soft and sweet clarinet. Miss Lou Polmatier and Miss Inez Polmatier are leader and drummer respectively, and both are extremely cjever in their dif ferent lines. Shields' rark, Out at his park Manager Shields will five a complete change of program com mencing with the performance tomorrow night. With a single exception, the bill will contain nothing but new faces, and what the public wants is constant Change. For the headline next week.M&na- Er Shields has secured Karl and De mer. This team presents work on e trapes which is hair-raising and bordering on the sensationalism. They lo a casting turn which has earned for them the title of "the flying flames." It Is promised that this is ths finest and most novel aerial turn offered in Port land this season. High above the stage the couple awing and cavort without fear or trembling and their performance is said to be marvelous. Professor Hunt's dog and monkey cir cus is something out of the general run. Educated animals are always interest ing and the collection gathered by Pro fessor Hunt are above th average In Intelligence and cleverness. The monks snd the bow-wows are up to all sorts of trick and will send the children into convulsions of laughter. Wallers and. .Haggan have n act tailed "Why la a Crowr Th title Is nost mysterious' but the answer to the tussl Is even funnier than a Joke nook, foe team 4oe a knockabout turn with Kiss Amelia Bingham. Amelia Bingham's forthcoming ap pearance here Is certain to arouse the keen interest of patrons of the drama, for although muoh haa been heard of the actress-manager, this city has not been visited by her since her attainment of that title. Miss Bingham will Inaugurate a limited engagement in the near future at the Harquam Grand Theatre, presenting one or more of her famous successes. They number "The Climbers," by Clyde Fitch, which played for six months at the Bijou Theatre, New York; "A Modern Magdalen," by Haddon Chambers, which ran for 150 nights at the same playhouse, and "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson," Clyde Fitch's wittiest play, for three months at the Princes Theatre. These plsys have provoked wide discussion and have been popular with all people, "The Climbers affords a picture of life of the so-called "400 ' of New York, "A Modenwwagda len" tells the story of a youngr woman. In a lowly walk of life, .who sacrlfloes her honor for the happiness of those she loves, and 'The Frisky Mr; John son" is a brilliant satirical Illustration of the gay American colony In Paris. For their presentation here, the actress manager will bring new equipment and gowns and a company that promises to excel many of the so-called "all-star" organisations. ,Tr?v 4 -'A j v. At Cleveland.
