"Thl man," aald the funny man tha ether day, "waa certainly a 'peacberlne.' He uaed to charge for everything except breathing, hut it waa cheaper to allow hi account than to dispute It,' because Its magnitude would require the ex clusive eervlcea of a special employe and consequently an extra aalary to verify tha item. This, detail would have re quired more time In each town than we could poalbly apare with any. hope of retting over the route within the season. lor ha wae not only master In the art Of inventing Items to charge, but pos sessed an equal aapaclty for qualifying them and was a genius In developing In the mind of the treasurer absolutely mythical Items into actual expenditures. He was simply a Shakespeare In expense accounts a master In every subject he touched upon. "What the man didn't charge he didn't aee, or feel or hear or taste. His bill howed that he patronised every trolley within 100 miles of each town, read very newspaper every day In the par ticular atate he waa In, purchased every denomination of postage stamp every morning, gave coaching parties to the local manager's family, hired every stenographer in town, fed the aldermen, feted the press, staked the bill posters, banqueted the Masonic societies, gave lunches to the Toung Men's Christian association, cigars to the railroad of ficials, wined the Elks, dined the sheriff, plcknlcked the school children and tipped every native from the apple woman In the depot to the mayor of the town. "The Item for paste always appeared1 across the sheet Just where It was pasted, the Item for pins where the pin ning was done, and I dare say he sat up nights figuring out choice spots to lo cate the Items for rubber bands and Ink and shears and twine and pencils and pens and the trillions of other things he had to have.

There was nothing to complain of theatrically this week. The plays were excellent and diversified enough to please every one. "The Prisoner of Zenda" at the Baker is the moat pretentions and successful production appearing at that house this season, and will be followed by "Too Much Johnson," a farce with the element of quiet and refined comedy. Hermann entertained large audiences at the Marquam with his maglo and new il lusions and the wise ones who saw some the tricks are no wiser than they were before. It was like welcoming an old friend to greet James Nelll at the Morrison treet playhouse. His presentation or 'A Gentleman of France" came with the added flavor of being something new here and lived up to all promises. The vaudeville bill at the Arcade was leavened by a number of rich specialties J ! .. . , ''SO ': " -.' ' ,y :.:-:'.:.?' :: .: . . ' ,' v. ' . ?

How many girls at tha age of 11 yeans, beautiful, accomplished, full of dramatio fire, with a superb figure and a glorious voice, would sign a contract not to get married for 10 years. Not many In truth, but that la what Miss Vera Mlchealena, prima donna of the "Princess Chic" company, did to ob tain her heart's desire. Frank Buckley, business manager of the show, which will soon appear in Portland, had the young woman sign the contract to avoid matrimonial alliances and In addition furnish a heavy bond to see that she kept her agreement.

The musical event of the season, in tha local interest attached, was the grand opera concert at the Empire last night The program was well rounded out and filled with thoroughly enjoyable selec tions from the best operas.

The news that the Empire theatre will soon reopen in a season of melo drama is welcome, indeed. The first at traction will be "The King of the Opium iling."

Joseph Jefferson is sensitive, on the subject of his retirement from the stage, c He has been before the foot-, lights since a small child,, and he has never shown any desire to leave it, says the Philadelphia Item. The interviewer who puts the question of farewells to him gets a rather sharp but pleasant reply. A reporter In Chicago recently got the best of Mr. Jefferson. Tha actor came down one morning and read an article in which the word retired was closely i connected with - his name. : He made complaint and tha reporter waa taken to task. , . .
