Fie upon the press agent And that terrific jumble jof words which he . trumpets out to Caesar's messengers. What meaneth they? Meaning they have none, stupid. Can't you see that ha Is arranging the flowers of Shakes peare's speech In nice confusion, a slight pa us at each comma a lowering of tho ' voloa at a semicolon, and a complete pause at a period. Don't you recognize that he is making sense out of poetry, transforming blank verse Into blanker sense and Antony Into an irresistible reprobateT Tnen see now ne reads the letter from tdeath. Note how that massive neck Drum as Willie West, an unsophistl- swings rrom line to. l.ne as though the cated visitor from the rural districts, eyes j were fixed in their sockets and utterly Incapable of Independent action. It is an Irresistibly comlo conception. Ob, that ass of a press agent! Sincere. . Indeed! Sincerely funny. Even Sam Bernard never thought- of that axial neck motion while reading his stage ; letters. ... But later on you learn that after all you hare been libeling the press agent. Vou come to admit In sorrow and peni tence that he told the truth and that your Impulsive temperament got the best of you. For Mr. Hanford Is sincere as Antony. His sincerity Is Impressed upon you terribly in the third scene of act five. Of course you know that In I was amusing. At both performances lantern slide pictures are shown between acts. The Helllg showed views of the ruins of Rom and Egypt and the haunts t Antony and Cleopatra But this provis ion of Mr. Hanford's, thoughtful as It waa was far outdone by the moving pictures of "Monte Crlsto" which Mr. Allen held out as extra Inducement for his patrons. Mr. Allen's pictures moved and Mr. Hanford's were of the old regu lation Sunday school benefit variety. When will our managers learn that the drama Is essentially the reproduction of action T Mr. Allen had the better of the argument. LOVERO F NATURE AND PUBLIC SPIRITED executive board. He was a great lover of nature, and was Indefatigable in his efforts to Improve and beautify the city's parks. "He was In the very prime of his usefulness. Portland can ill afford to lose such a citizen as Joe Meyer." Tribute ?aid the Late J. D. ' Meyeiyby His Old Friend, E-Mao? Storey. "Portland sustained an Irreparable loss in the death of Joseph D. Meyer," . said ex -Mayor W. A. Storey, who was intimately associated with him for near- , ly two years while Mr. Meyer waa a member of the city council. "He was ont of the most faithful and consclen- tlous public servants that I have ever known," continued Mr. Storey. "He was always on the lookout for the beat in terests of tha city, and I believe it can be truthfully said that he never al lowed hla private affairs to Interfere with hla public duties. "He waa elected to the common coun cil when the late W. 8. Mason was chosen for his second term as mayor. Upon tha death of Mayor Mason, Joe Meyer was a strong supporter of mine In the contest for the succession to the office.

Extra Chairs and Boon for tha Union Dental parlors. The past week has witnessed many changes in the Union Dental Parlors, made necessary by the increase of pat ronage. Extra chairs have been added and expert operators, of course. The number of patients yesterday who wished to be waited upon was certainly unprecedented in tne nistory 01 tnis big dental concern. Dr. Austin, the head and front of these offices was the recipient of many compliments upon the popularity of the Union Dental Par lors. "We have the largest offices in the city,", he said, "and can by the terms of our lease sdd more, and doubt less It will not be very long before such is the case, the way the patients keep coming. If there is one thing more than another, of which We take es pecial care, it Is to turn out plate and bridge work promptly. People don't like to wait on these matters, and know ing that, I propose to always have op erators enough en hand to do the work In a hurry. The Quality we guarantee." The Union Dental Parlors occupy the entire northwest corner or the second floor at Morrison and First streets, thus affording not only a central loca tion but a splendid light so necessary in an cental worn. Hollaing permits representing over 160,000 in new residence construction were Issued from Inspector Spencer's office yesterday. With two exceptions, the plsns filed with the Inspector pro vide for-cottages to cost between $1,000 and $2,000. A. J.

It is so easy to entertain them at home, better than they can be entertained anywhere else, and it is such innocent amusement, by means of an Edison Phonograph, which furnishes music for dancing gives all the new popular songs of the theatre and selections from the grand operas and concerts, and reproduces band music, the old ballads and love songs so perfectly that it is hard to believe that it is not the real music or voice to which they are listening. Parents owe it to their children to investigate the merits of the Edison Phonograph, and not confound it with any other kind' of talking machine they may have heard. Go to your nearest dealer and hear the new Edison model with the big horn, or write today for a catalogue 1 describing it.

This point was passed on when the mo tion for new trial was argued, and the objection whs again overruled. Then W. K. McOarry moved an arrest of Judgment on the ground that no venue had been proved as laid in the information. This was likewise de nied, and Judge Oantenbeln called on tne aerenaants to stand, asking If they naa nay nuiemeni 10 make in exten. ' uation. Radding answered in almost inaudible tone that he left that to his attorney, and Mrs. Waymlre, still more inaudibly, said she had nothing to say. Mrs. Waymire Waa Influenced. Judge Oantenbeln first read the stat ute under which the defendants were convioted, which closed by Imposing a penalty of from one io six months Im prisonment, or by .fine of from S0 to 1260.

I be leve that reasonable men will hardly differ In the opinion that the maximum penalty of the law Is deserved, so far as the defendant Radding Is concerned. It Is the Judgment of the court that he ' should be confined in the County Jail for the term of six months. "As to the defendant Waymire, writ ers on female criminology say that when women commit crime It Is gener ally due to the influences of others, to hatred or to nassion. ' I think In this case Mrs. Waymire was influenced by others to commit this offense. It -was not due to hatred or passion, nor was it apparently due to greed. Plenty of Cash la Bight. "A woman ia punished much more se verely by detection than a man. At the same time a woman who will allow her self to be influenced to commit an of fense of this character should be se verely punished. In my view, Mfs. Waymire waa not the originator of the plot, and she has been more severely Funlshed by detection than Radding. t ts the Judgment of the court -that she serve four months In the county Jail and that both the defendants be re Quired to pay-the costs." j ; i Then cam the allowance of the atay of execution for SO days. District At torney Manning and Dan J. Malarkey suggested that the defendants be' re manded ' to the custody of the sheriff until the new bonds were furnished, but Attorney, Fouts said he' would go with the sheriff at once and attend to the transfer of the bonds, and the court said that as this was a matter of only a few minutes the defendants might re main In the courtroom until the papers were prepared. ' Several hundred dollars In costs have already accrued, and if the supreme court upholds the verdict of the Jury the defendants will need about all the money deposited for bonds to pay the costs onargea against tnem, to say noth ing of the fees of their three attor neys. This apparently does not worry them, for the "man behind," whoever be may be, Is still liberal with the cash.' v , Good Sport 'Each morning, afternoon and! night you will find a jolly cr&wd of men, wo men and children enjoying the healthful pastime of roller skating at the Expo sition rink, r Instruction to beginners free- Basketball next Friday night Everybody Invited.' . ,', ;A ...
