TERN OUTFITTING- COV3 S0AM1 RAM AND CASTE CURSED INDIA HE SATS HOTXXHO CAW BB DOITS TO COWTBBT 01 UTOUI TK . HINDU TILI. THE C&ASS 0T8TIK is BxoxBzr sown muw K.AH TO tABOB ATTDXXVCZ. Soaml Ram, an emlBsary in behalf of the ('ante-cursed people of India, , was introduced to a large audience at the . Marquam Grand theatre yeslerday after 1 noon by Mayor Williams. Soaml Ram a mission, to the United States is to raise enough money to bring 20 or more Kng , llah-Bpeak'lng and educated young ' Hindus to this country to learn the American customs and keep them In In dustrial schools for & year or two. ' Soaml Ram's voice broke down, sp ' patently before he was ready to cease speaking, and he closed his address. He sMdthnt .caste Is the greatest burden that could be visited on any people. In India one must forever remain In the clans In which he is born. A tiger be sets a tiger; a Hon, a Hon; a dog, a dog. From -a flower comes a flower; from a mango, a , mango. . And so on, ; from a "merchant, a merchant; a warrior, a war ' rlor: a' laborer always a laborer in the Hindu caste. This, he said. Is a great handicap to th development of Industry and commerce. A caste, no matter how, ' low, must not come In contact 'plth a' foreigner; If he does he becomes an out cst. Thin Is true of the lowest of the low., iThe daughter of a public woman must always be a public woman.' v ? On account of caste the missionaries cnt to India accomplish buta minimum of good. They cannot mix with or1 go among the people freely. The few . Hindus they have converted to Chrls tlanlty are ostracised by theirs fellow countrymen and form a class dlsttntly by themselves. The converts can do no good; they ; cannot work1 among their '; own people. . . " , ' While the English government means well, he said, and though It has pro vided universities to teach the higher classes, It has made no effort to break down caste. If the customs of India are abolished It must be through their own people. AH reform ' comes from within.. That this reform could be ac- ' compllshed shown by the fact , that after the visit of a young Hindu mer chant to the United States, where he observed 4he equality of the people, and after telling his people about It on his return home, his caste, representing 10. 000 men, met and abolished child mar riage, so that girls will be allowed to , reach maturity before given In marriage to men and boys. ' ' ' Soaml Ram says the spirit of Christ ; wns on earth thousands of years before Christianity was known. He says it Is ' In tlio Hindu scriptures. ' COLUMBIA BIVEB SO TTYIWIX. ' The O.

"Not all appeals to us come from the Ignorant and depraved," said Captain Anderson of tha Volunteers of Amer ica, today. ' "The other day I aided a young man of refinement and education, who came recently from Tacoma. where his parents are of high standing. The young man lost; more than 1260 In' a gambling place In the north end, and was utterly wretched. He Is now work ing In the city and expects to regain his losses by hard work. t ( t "Every day ragged men come to us men with mere strings for shoes; men with ragged coats, no vest and tattered, shirts; men without hats; men with but two garments; men with scarcely one. Whether- they -are- worthy or.Jot, . thejj must be aided if the great throng of af flicted is to : have , confidence In out preaching.':". -;J "A day or so ago a woman of the lowest das" came to me and asked me to pray beBlde her dying sister In sin. In a battered house on Uverett street I found the woman, past middle age, and a wreck from excesses. Abject poverty showed Itself In every Inch, of r the squalid room, and by the pallet of rags three of us workers knelt and prayed. The woman died while we were on our knees. - - . '-., i; . 'The Thanksgiving work brought out many queer experiences. I received one call for aid from ya man who in a note said he was near death,' and his wife Was suffering. I went with a box of provisions to the number and found It to be quite a respectable lodging-house. I. had no uniform on, and no one could have told my mission. At my ring a well-dressed woman 'came to the door and on questioning' her I found she was the wife of the man ho had written the note, and that she also was the landlady of tha place. I also discovered that she was making a good living and wanted the provisions merely to save a few dollars. When I told - her Who I was she did not seem much taken back. . " 'Oh yes, we can use the things very nicely,' she -said, and was even angry when I told her that only the Very poor could be aided by our organisation."!. In the opinion of Captain Anderson there is a serious condition confronting the city, and he believes that the vast throng' of Idle men, that Is being dally Increased by arriving crowds of penni less tramps and laborers out of a Job, la a real menace to the prosperity of the city, and wlll before the summer sea son comes, prove a huge burden on all the forces of organized charity.

AT THE THEATRES .................a :,,,..:... .' . THB B ABBE'S XEW IBOEITUB. : Miss 0a Waldrop, the Baker Stock company's new Ingenue, made her debut at the Baker theatre yesterday In the opening performance of Hoyt's "A Mid night Bell." Miss Waldr,op is a young lady of wonderful cleverness and made a distinct hit In, Mlnty In "The Dalryj Farm," -recently at t(he1j4arquam,-arana.' When that play dosed Its season she was engaged by Manager Baker. Her part Is that of "Dot." r'T-. Her Impersonation la charmingly ar tistic and In nothing more, than In the fine, .restraint with which she outlines and .colors the gradual development of the character, under new- emotions and environments without abrupt transitions and displaying broadening, intelligence without losing the infantile ( Innocence that Is the basis of , the whoe, person- .ajiur.or-i.JJ0L A Midnight Bell" is one of tha most pretentious and most successful produc tion which the Baker company, has given, i It requires much ' heavy Stage setting and yesterday's performance was far too long. It will probably be cut down at tonight's bill, for tha stage force will be more ; familiar with . the scene shifting. ..,. -V- ". . The play, la too well known to b re viewed. It Is one of the very best of Hoyt's comedies. . It will continue for the rest of the week, and la well worth a visit, : The character parts are handled with; consummate skill and artistic abil ity. " J" - . ,: : , "XEXAO KUi" "Hello Bill" opened at Cordray'B yes terday for a week'a, run and Is one of the most laughable farce-comedies that has billed at the popular Washington street playhouse this season. It is built to a great extent after" such fun-producers as "Too Much Johnson" and "The Man From Mexico" and there are laughs, laughs, laughs from beginning to end. It Is In the hands of really, clever people and is produced with a skill that almost disarms criticism of the piece Itself. - Th play concerns an indiscretion on the part of W. Fuller (J. D. Murphy) on the eve of his marriage. He enters a gambling house which is raided by the police ana is let out on bail In time to attend the ceremony. His friend Cut ting endeavors to fix things and certainly succeeds. The husband fears that he will be compelled to serve 0 days in Jail and a paper at hand contains a Washing ton dispatch announcing the appointment of W. Fuller to the position of lieutenant-colonel. This he pretends means his call, to the front and he leaves. .: In the meantime the real army Fuller performs wonderful feats of bravery in Cuba and is promoted to a brigadier-generalship. When - the - papers announce his return the bogus army hero comes back from a little sojourn In Jersey, and is received With brass bands and a reception. --The real General Fuller learns of the recep tlon In his honor and turns up also. Finally the bogus hero confesses bis se cret to the real general and the latter agrees to carry out the farce. ". Kathleen' Clifford Is very, pretty and vivacious and haa a good stage presence, but she could improve her acting by a clearer enunciation. . Half the time one can scarcely understand what she says. Arthur L. Cogllser made an Impressive and thoroughly likable Gen, , W. Fuller (ths real thing). Frank M. Kelly, as C. Cutting, "the fixer; and W. Fuller, the bogus general, carried the most of the comedy. Echlln P. Gayer was excellent as Dr. Hastings, the Englishman, i . "A TBXT TO CHUTATOWB." v Can you .Imagine- anything funnier than a Hoyt performance? "A Trip to Chinatown," one of the best farces that playwright ever gave to the public will be tbe New Tear week attraction at the Empire, starting Sunday night next. Jack Campbell the comedian, so long Identified with the team of Smith and Campbell, will be seen as Welland Strong, and will be supported by a com pany of Eastern artists under tha man agement of Baylor and Miller, ' : "THB BOVariS 8BXEX BTSH." ' Klrke La Shelle is considering a spec tacular metropolitan production of "The Bonnie Brier Bush" in New York next spring. If he carries out his plan the place will- be the academy 1 of music, where the successful Ian MacLaren play would have' room to enjoy all the scenic splendors of which It is capable. The production , would differ from that now pn the road only in the slse of the scenes - and the -, increased' number of minor characters,, r The principals will remain the same, with J. H. Stoddart still giving his remarkable stage picture of the gentle and ' hard-headed Lachlan Campbell, and Reuben Fax continuing as- the philosophical, tippling Posty. "The Bonnie Brier Bush" comes to the Marquam Grand - for' five ' nights . com mencing tomorrow night' with matinees Xmas and Saturday. t . .

Medical Co., Gentlemen: I had the bone In my leg from the knee to the ankle badly bruised from heavy hammer coming from tho handle.

The wound was closed and nealed, but I suffered for fifteen years with severo pains in the hip and ankle and was Anally induced ttfuee Oil of Eden, which I did, and can truthfully say the use of Oil of Eden caused at least two teacup fula of poisonous matter anfr corruption to come to the surface through the pores of the skin, and am completely cured. I would suggest and insist in any one using OU of Eden not to despair, but to use it for a few days, and If the flesh gets sore stop for two or three days ana commence again and continue- in this way until no more matter comes to the surface. When this has been done the disease -has been cured and the Oil of Eden will have no mora effect on your flesh than olive oil.
