Using a quantity of hidden-dynamite as
a target, Patrick Cunningham caused his
own- death at Deep Creek. 34 miles from
Portland. .Saturday afternoon.
Cunningham was IS years of age and
employed 'sj. signal-boy by the Oregon
Fir Lumber company. He took a holiday
Saturday ao that he might go hunting.
'While waiting for a companion to return
the boy began target-shooting. . Not
knowing the danger, he stood IS paces
away from the box containing dynamite
and with a ,22-callber rifle pierced the ex
plosive. The resulting explosion Injured
. ilm so that he died within a few minutes.
The dynamite was used to blow up
stumps, and several sticks were stored in
the barn. The box was hidden by hay In
the manger. The lad knew nothing of
the danger, and by mere chance hap
pened to strike the sticks of dynamite. A
terrific explosion occurred, which blew
the rifle many feet away and damaged
the Interior of the barn. The board cov
ering the manger were blown in all di
rections. Cunningham was struck by the
flying missiles and so terribly Injured
that he lived but a short time after his
friend found him. No physician was near
enough to minister to his wants before he
died.
Coroner Flnley was noticed and the
body was brought to Portland. It was
sent to the home of the boy's parents at
Pleasant home yesterday. , John Cun
ningham Is his father. The coroner de
cided that there was no need of an In
quest. Deep Creek Is on the Sprtngwater
branch of the Oregon Water Power A

With the assistance of the deaconess.

That there was a greater tendency
toward universal brotherhood and
closer relation with the Almighty, was
the contention of Dr. B. L. Penrose,
president of Whitman college, In an ad
dress before the T. M. C. A. yesterday
afternoon.
Religion had quit hiding In closets, he
said, and there was a united striving for
a better life.
The nineteenth century in philosophy
and religion has demonstrated the near
ness of man to God. and the twentieth
century is to show the united efforts of
all humanity to reach a level that such
close relation with the Almighty makes
Imperative for the dignity of all men,
He applied his speech particularly to
the efforts made and to be made by the
T. M. C. A. in lifting the Ideals of young
men at a period when they are too large
to fit into their father's home and have
not yet established a household of their
own.
The study groups that followed this
lecture were divided into two classes
according to Individual training. Pro
fessional students, under E. C. Bron
augh; business students under Merwin
Pugh; strangers under W. H. Stone, and
three other classes conduoted by G. F.
Martin. Prof. W. M. Wilder and C. A.
Lewis. They discussed each In a sep
arate group, the question of reform,
and all heartllv condemned radical fan
aticism that leads to reaction and no
practical results.
During the service-there were a num
ber of musical selections by Driscoll's
orchestra and the Haywood Male quar
tette. ' Later a lunch was' served In the
gymnasium.
The regular afternoon meetings of the
T. M. C. A, will hereafter be known as
'The Sunday club." There was a large
attendance at the meeting yesterday.
BET.' BCTBOH COOX.ET SPEAKS.
At-Calvary Baptist church. Rev.
Myron Cooley, editor of the Pacific Bap
tist, had for the theme of his Sermon,
"Knowing and Doing," based upon these
texts! John 1S:17, "If Ye Know These
Things, Blessed Are Ye If Ye' Do Them,"
and Acts 22:10, "What Shall I Do,
Lord?" He said in part:
'Jesus Christ was a problem that
puzzled men when he was here as Jesus
of Nazareth. As men listened to Him
they were amazed, and the question was,
How knoweth this man letters, having
never learned?" They marvelled at
what He knew. The doings of Christ was
as remarkable as his knowledge, and
men declared that all that had been said
about Jesus and claimed for Htm was
true. Jesus In his teaching emphasized
the great value of knowing, and by both
teaching and life He put the emphasis
upon doing. The genuine , followers of
Christ are always eager learners. They
strive to know. The Lord himself
prayed for .them that they might know
the only true God and Him whom
God had sent Knowing God and Christ'
Is eternal life. Paul declares that the
only thing worth striving after is the
knowledge of Christ. He says, "That I
may Know Jtiim, ana tne power or tits
resurrection, and the fellowship of His
sufferings, becoming conformed unto His
death." By getting to know Christ, men
become like Him. They have His mind.
and. conform to His wishes. It is given
to the children God to know the mys
teries 01 me Kingdom or neaven. ine
eager passionate desire of every genuine
Christian is:
More about Jesus let me learn.
More of His holy will discern." ,
Knowing God. and His son always
leads to doing. "He that saith, I know
Him, and keepeth cot His . command-
It seems a fact that the elegant Maze
Cafe, Third street opposite the 'Baker
theatre, has no respect for expense when
employing talent for Jts stage. This
week It has, as one of Its attractions, the
wonderful Frank Rlchter, the greatest
living blind pianist who will entertain
visitors -to the Maze for these coming
six nights. Mr. Rlchter has traveled all
Over the world, has been entertained by
the royalty of Europe, as well ss the
aristocracy of America, and has' had
more honors showered upon him than
ever were bestowed upon the celebrated
Blind Tom of years ago. To say that he
makes the Instrument "talk," la to speak
approximately the truth, for by bis
magic touch, music seems to roll from
its inmost recesses In great volumes of
enchanting sounds, as from the throat
of a meadowlark or the lips of the fore
most vocalist on earth.
Speaking of this astoundlngly profi
cient musical prodigy the San Francisco
Call of recent date had this to say:
"Master Frank Rlchter, one or tne
most prominent blind pianists of the
world, entertained the 'Press club and
Its guests last evening. The recital was
a revelation to those who were pres
ent Many of the best musicians of
the city had been Invited and occupied
seats. At the conclusion of the pro
gram laudations were showered on the
artist and critics told him that his work
was well done. ' J - "
"At first Rlchter rendered Mendels
sohn's "Rondo Capriclso,' then he played
one of Strauss' waltzes and a polonaise
In A flat, by Chopin. Chopin's favorite
waltz followed and the 'Rhapsodle
Hongroise by Liszt brought the audi
ence to spontaneous applause. A fan
tasia composed by himself was one of
the 'prettiest numbers, and his impro
viaions and imitations could scarcely
be excelled. Rlchter Intends to give two
or three programs before he leaves San
Francisco. The dates Will be announced
later. His touch and technique are flaw
less, and his Interpretation of the old
masters Is easy, compared with that of
the foremost pianists of the age."
Aside from this superior attraction.
Manager Shapiro has engaged all the
stars of the Empire, and these may now
all be seen In every turn and maneuver I
performed by them at that popular thea
tre. Ansl there Is no charge for admls-
sloln, either.
The Maze gives a clean-cut enter
tainment There is nothing of a salacious
nature allowed. It Is a respectable thea
tre, with Its handsome refreshment at
tachments, which are conducted on the
"no rowdyism" plane of decency.
Tonight and every night this week
this fine musical and theatrical enter
tainment is free to every orderly person
desiring to enjoy It
ments, Is a liar and the truth is not in
him." The keeping or tne commana
mnta of Christ means nothing less
than doing the will of God, from the
nnwer of Jesus Christ into tne nearc.
and fills the We with the fulness of
God.
The "unsearchable riches of Christ'
are for those who knew and do. "What
shall I do. Lord?" The authoritative
answer is "This is the work of 00a, tnat
ve believe on Him whom He hatn sent.
Whole-hearted belief In Christ leads to
the most energetic doing, of which a
man is capable, wnen snail mis aoing
begin? Now. ,
Today If ye shall hear His voice,
Harden not your hearts."
THE PABAB1ES XHTEBPBETED.
At the First Christian church. Rev,
J. F. Ohormley spoke in the morning on
the seven narables of Jesus found In
Matthew. He said in part:
"This chapter contains an otrtllne of
church history from Its earnest De
ffinnlne to the consummation of all
things. Its various stages or develop
ment are described in these parables,
Jesus proclaims Himself as the great
seed sower preaching 'the word of the
kingdom.' The seed was sown by the
wnvalde and uoon stony places and
amone- thorns and Into good ground.
The seed was all right, and Its species
hn never been improved upon. The
second parable in these series reveals
the fact of another sower. The method
of dealing with evil is also suggested-
Let both stow together untu tne nar
vest. The kingdom or neaven is lute
a e-rain of mustard seed, which, maeoa.
Is the least or all seeas, out is ine great
est among herbs. The rapid growth of
Christianity in the early centuries Is
here described, and also the corruptions,
like birds which came and lodged in its
branches. - The period represented by
the 'leaven' came. The gospel trutn
in the three measures: The social. tne
mnrai and the political, remaining until
the kingdoms of this world become the
kineiiom of the Christ The rennaissance
is represented by the treasure hid in a
field which, when a man lain jonna, no
hideth, and for Joy thereof gioeth and
selleth all that he hath and tmyetn tnat
flaid. The loyous sacrmces or tne re
formers are here set forth. Tnis moaorn
nee of investigation; 'Is like unto a mer
phant man seeking goodly pearls It
has found one pearl' of great price.
World-wide missions and the coming of
the kingdom and eternal Judgment are
like unto a net that was cast into the
sea and gathered of every kind.'
"UOMEHTUM Or CHABAOTEB."
The Momentum of Character" was
William E. Randall's theme last even
ing at the Central Baptist church. He
said. In part:
Triumph over temptations by supe
rior courage, manhood and faith in God
Is victory supreme. ' The subllmest spec
tacle that greets the vision of men,
annels 'or Deity Is a person making in
telligent effort to Journey through life,
balanced, hopeful and . helpful.
"Mechanics, the science that unfolds
the action of force upon matter, 'has a
lesson for us upon the momentum of
character. The places of the sun, moon
and planets upon any . given day or hour
are announced . years in advance. The
statements are based upon the laws Of
motion. Newton's keen intellect em
bodied the science In three laws, the
first being: "Every body continues In a
state of rest. or. of uniform motion In a
straight line, except In so far as it Is
compelled by force to change that state.'
Th a lews of moral welfare are as
definite and absolute as the laws that
govern a great globe swinging in space.
There Is moral inertia; moral momen
tum. If the normal state Is Inaction,
the law tends to perpetuate It If the
condition Is action, the law continues jt
Constructed character la momentum. A
great balance wheel moves with con
tinued, majestio precision, scarcely ef
fected by Incidental circumstances. A
person that become solid and strong
in character moves triumphantly through
life.
'Too IRuch dependence' Is placed upon
external safeguarding. A 'wabbler will
fall without the assistance of a ditch.
A character, with momentum passes
safely through life's ordeals. The New
Testament emphasis upon acquiring
strength of character is scientific. 'And
having done all, stand!'
"We have discovered In the school
of experience that impediments to prog
ress are real. Gravity and friction bat
tle against matter and men." When a
body normally in motion begins to slow
down we conclude that some force is
acting: that the battle Is on. .We are in
the battle of life. We are continuously
within the pull of moral gravity; beset
by friction; attracted from our normal
orbit. No person can overestimate the
value, the safety, that lies In the mo
mentum of character.
"Character with moral momentum is
something actual. It la choice repeated.
Its power lies in a clear conscience. The
man who can say with Paul: T know
nothing against myself,' is Invincible.
It ' yields clear - vision. Its possessor
can pray. Such a character rebukes
tempters and is Immune. The Prince
of this world cometh, and flndeth noth-
lnsr In me.' is philosophical. You can
breathe the atmosphere of business and
social life without peril or Injury.
'A character with - momentum at
tracts other persons to Itself and these
add to the conquering , power of the
life. .There will be uniform - moral mo
tion in -a; straight line progress that
no adverse - force can ' change. Man's
primary, duty, is the construction of a
character that - has momentum His
highest 1 privilege . is Impulsion from
Jesus Christ' , His . sublimest achieve
ment. Is self-control and the Investment
of a - good, - strong life In humanity's
welfare." ; .

Wanted A few evil-disposed persons
to work on the city rockplle.
For two weeks there have been no
city prisoners to work on the rockplle.
In fact the town has been so moral that
there have scarcely veen sufficient
"trusties" to do the washing and scrub
bing about the city Jail. But hereafter
any unfortunate, whorls unable to pay
his fine, will find plenty of work at the
new rockplle, Fifth and Gllsan streets.
The city engineer has made arrange
ments to establish the rockplle on a va
cant quarter block at this location. The
site Is owned by Allen & Lewis, and Is.
surrounded by a high board fence. The
rental la $20 annually. To this place
rock will be hauled - from ships - and -quarries
and there tne bad men who
have been caught will be required to
break It into small bits. Then the en
gineer will have It hauled away to
streets which need repairing.
The police consider the new site good,
as It is not a great distance from the
city Jail. It will be covered with can
vas so the prisoners ran work in wet
Weather, and It will be easy for the
guards to watch the gang. But unless
present conditions change there will be
no one to break the rock into small
pieces. If there are any prisoners to
morrow morning the new city lnstltu
tlon will be started.
For some time the city prisoners have
been worked on streets, both on the
east and west sides, where the city
engineer had grading and scraping to
do.
"BLACK MOLUE" .
DIES AT A FIRE
After being in, the fire department
for 14 years, old "Black Mollis" dropped
dead .after a long, and hard run to a
chimney fire at 654 East Pine street yes

The horse was one of the pair drawing

Through the deep' mud the run was a
severe one yesterday,, out tne nose
wagon reached the ene of the small
fire in good time. But the old-horse
soon began to quiver ana in a lew
minutes she fell to the ground and ex
pired. Mollle was 20 years old and the
cause of her death was heart failure.
There are other horses In the depart

have outlived their usefulness, but Chief
Campbell says it Is almost Impossible
