The Squaw Man."
J In "The Squaw Man," which comes to
the Hetlig theatre for the week opening
October , with William Faversham in
the star part, is told a strange tale of
hope deferred and self-sacrifice, erected
upon a superstructure of fact which has

theatregoer..

one from any point of-view, comprising

play, dealing with a woman ' of
unusual temperament, and Intense.
Jealous disposition a wild, unreason
able Jealousy, of everything her
husband does and imagining nil
sorts of things to feed the consum

for some of the most Intense acting
on the part of the leading man and
woman, and there is no doubt in the
minds of patrons of the Baker Stock
company, out Mfss Barney and Mr.
Webb will meet every requirement of
the difficult scenes and lines in the
piece. The settings will be the acmn
of high class perfection and a call is
made for rich and expensive gowns
on the part of all the ladles or the
company. The comedy element of the
"Girl With the Green Eyes" is strong
and the second act showing a party or

surrounding an Immense statue of the

At the Star.
This afternoon the Richard E. French
Stock company, at the Star theatre will
present for the first time in Portland
the sensational melodrama, "Slaves of
Russia." There will be matinees Tues
day, Thursday and Saturday.
"Slaves of Russia," is full of excite
ment and wUl be an education
as well as a theatrical entertain
ment, for it contains facta and side
lights on Russia which cannot be ob
tained from newspaper columns. Man
ager French has prepared another of
his elaborate scenic productions, and
"Slaves of Russia" will be found a
striking drama with a human Interest
plot. While this play has not had a
performance In this city before, It is
not unknown in the east and in Eng
land. Once, during a production of the.
drama hi London the Russian govern
ment endeavored to have it suppressed,
but the British government refused
to interfere. The full strength of the
French Stock company will be used
and there will be a number of extra
people. Seats for all performances are
now on sale, and should be secured
early, especially for today's perform-
"To Die at Dawn", at Lyric. -
The Lyric management believes in va
riety, and for that reason th style of
plays presented is changed from -week
to week, so that all manner of dramatic
of ferlngt of th best class are at the
disposal of Lyric patrons. Commencing
tomorrow night, "To Die at Dawn," one
of the extremely sensational melodra
matic hits of recent years, will be pre

Deserts Palace for Hot.
To woo nature and win his wife back
to health, G. Kennedy Tod, a banker and
civic reformer, has lived, outdoors this
last summer at his country estate at
Sound Beach, on Long Island.
His splendid home, Innls Arden, is
one or tne snow places or mat section
of the country. But he deserted it en
tirely for two small huts, only a little
over six feet from floor to roof. In
one he roomed himself. In the other
lived his wife with a trained nurse. A
cot and a few pictures were the . only
rurniiure.
In addition, a small tent served as
a dlnlnif-room and another as a kitchen.
More than a year ago Mrs. Tod,, who
was Maria Howard Potter, a niece of
Bishop Potter, wa forced to undergo
a surgical operation.. Her recovery was
slow.
Last .autumn Mr. Tod spent six weeks
in the Canadian wilds.
How much good the trip would have
done his wife, had she been strong
enough to take it, he- thought. So, a
the next best thing, the plan of living
in th open at home occurred to him. It
was thoroughly congenial to botS of
them;-and they enjoyed their huts more
than they did their palac. . x

A Fit Recognition
For Playground Workers.
San Francisco clubwomen have de
voted much attention to the question of
public playgrounds In that city for a num
ber of years. As a fitting recognition of
their work the city authorities nave
ted a cltv playground commission,
romnosed entirely of women. The
i-ha rtnun o r the new commission is Mrs.
E. L. Baldwin, who, as chairman of the
civic committee or tne wBiiiornm
woman'a rluh has furthered the crea
tion of Darks and playgrounds. The
nn pnmminiliin'i nowers are not con
fined simply to supervision, but they
can recommend the purchase of new
sites for playgrounds, have the appolnt
tnont of nlaveround supervisors, and
have general control of a system of
park ana scnooi piaygrrounus which uw
city proposes to auuin.
With this recognition given the club
woman of our sister state, the lnsul
put upon the clubwomen of Oregon
when the playgrounds commission was
created by our late legislature will be
particularly and more keenly brought to
mind, though lt has always been a
smouldering fire, for no greater alight
was ever put upon earnest women than
that act of our lawmakers, though the
mass of them were wholly Ignorant of
what they were doing. They were in
fluenced by a little coterie of shall we
say politicians? who made such a
plausible showing that few realized that
the clubwomen, who for 10 years
worked for public playgrounds, and
created ever bit of sentiment that
existed for them, were wholly Ignored
and a public commission created of peo
ple who knew almost nothing of the
practical side of the question.
. Our park commission under whose
supervision they should properly cpme

may yet come, the recognition of women

t at at
prominent College Women
Form Equal Suffrage League.
President M. Carey Thomas of Bryn-
Mawr college is leading a college
suffrage movement which is gaining
strength and proportions through the
organisation of what is known as the
College Equal Suffrage league.
The circular sent out bears the names
of at least six prominent educators
from each of th following, colleges:
Boston university, Bryn-Mawr, - Johns
Hopkins, Radcllffe, Smith and Wellesley,
The' following taken from the latest
circular sets forth the objects of the
league:
From a theoretical point of view, the
reasons why women should vote are the
same as tne reasons wny men snouiu
vote. The ballot is a means or educa
tion because it is an incentive to study
public questions, and is a straight
forward method ef using influence, and
of expressing opinion. Further, the
facts concerning- the position that
women now hold In the world show
that, apart from a theoretical stand-
nolnt there are practical reasons whv
women should have th ballot.

work. .
During the, years 1 90S and ltOS, the
number of female immigrants was only
11 per cent of the tulal number of Immi

expressed themselves In favor of woman

The aim of the Collega Equal Buf-
frage league Is to further the interest
in . the woman suffrage movement
among both graduates and undergrade
ates. It Is Important that those whol
have not thouaht about this Question I
should give the arguments, for and
against, careful and unprejudiced con-
alteration, it is equally important that
those who already believe in equal suf.
frage should realise snd assume the
special obligation resting UPOn them,
and Identify themselves with this ef-
fort, st least by giving ths support of
their names. .-

Tne Plan of Work. The league holds
two meetings each year, and carries on
its business by a board of managers.
The work for the year 104-1 has been
to hold meetings In as many colleges a
possible; to increase th number of
member by informal meeting and dis.
cusslons, and to organise branch leagues
In other states. Although the help of
members who have time to give to com-
mlttee work I earnestly desired, no de-
mand Is made upon those who do not
wish to serve.
