' Lisbon, Feb. SO. The report' aa to the health of Maria Pla, the queer dowager, grow daily mora disquieting. Her health wajr terribly shaken by the murder of her son. King Carlos, and her grandson, Crown Prince Luis Phil ippe, and, her strength has never re gaining ground and complications are setting In that give - rise to greaV anxiety, GAMBLERS CANNOT COLLECT IN.

And RiMh a fair as It wael . When, the last whistle sounded and the last nota of the hurdy-gurdies died away In agon ized and agonising shrieks, it was only because the magic hour . of midnight had arrived and respect for the threatened closed 8unday held the fair authorities firm, so doors were closed, lignts were put out and blinds .wefe drawn and the county , fair was at an end. Some of the visitors at that fair un doubtedly arose early in the morn-ing be fore the sun was up to make ready to come to that fair. '' That Is a safe guess, . anyway, in Oregon. Their linen dusters and the draggled flowers on the coun try ladies' hats showed the stains of trlvel over country roads. . Togged out In their Sunday best, they had come to town to see the fair-and they were going to enjoy it to their fill. Coun try women In odd looking shawls-and odder bonnets, clung desperately to the arms of bewhiskered and bedustered farmers who hurried them through.: the. eager throngs. , Crowds Are TjrplesL . The crowd was a typical one. Moth ers dragged children about by the arms; men stumbled aver each otber while gaz ing at the wonders above; red-headed po licemen wandered about displaying their tiny stars proudly, but always In a peaceful section; pickpockets and after-the-manner-born Bill Sykses and Nances " and Llxsles piled their trade on the greenhorns. But this was a peaceful holdup game. The sums taken were large, but the refined art of torture pro longed the agony and drew out fives, tens and twenties by the nickel and the dime. Hers one could see an old ' Indian squaw who drew a "Jeering crowd of Spectators as she danced her weird steps a crowd that turned immediately when aha held out her hand at its close; there one could see a pretty group of dairy- maids singing merrily at their work and interspersing It with a pretty dance. Over there was an old colored woman who did her cake-walk steDs to an ad' miring throng. Here, there and every where were popcorn men, candy-on-the-stick-men, peanut vendors, lemonade girls, ics cream cone maidens, learning the gentle holdup game. Handsome black-eyed Italians wheeled their or gans and pianoa, went through the throng and played to the passers-by, glancing with fiery eyes at the men who stopped to admire the blacker eyed girls who begged for coins. Offer Gold Watch. In one corner the promise of a gold watch for the lucky fishermen hired many an unreal looking farmer where glittering but indigestible fish were kept afloat. In, another the fortune tell ers piled their trade untouched by the cry of faker. Mysterious looking tents concealed headless ladles, dancing mon strosities, and various wonderful myths, whom only the magto dime would make visible, A German garden ' tempted many to get a tarte Of the "Vaterland." And off from the main thoroughfare was a retreat for the country people who had reached the higher plane. , The art gallaty of famous paintings collected from all over the world was open to their. intellectual enjoyment and there they could go to feast their eyes and repeat by note the phrases, "clear perspective," "good atmosphere, "under tones" and "high-lights." as found in the women's department of the last weekly newspaper. Soma of the Oamss. And there were the see-saw and the swings, and the merry-go-rbunds which afforded a much Joy to the grown folk as-to the children. Sweethearts fond ly clasped each other about the waists as they rlipibed upon a festive cow with trappings of purple and gold. An adoring youth would unceremoniously , .push the "profesh" from his place and seating within the swing the blushing Jady of his choice, would proceed to transport her skyward. But all 'too soon the afternoon, wore Into evening, and the evening into night,: and the night into early morn ing and as the cries of the milkman sounded faintly1 in the distance the market place was quickly emptied and the pleasure seeking crowd went home to ..dream happily over this gala vent At least ine gins HJ. nut some men woefully turned out empty pockets- to the breeses , and wandered ', homeward,' not to dream but to plan to fill tip that hole. the fair had made. -.--. And some others were not dreaming either, though, the 'sums of money as they, swelled in their hands seemed almost too (rood' to be true. The of ficers of the People's Institute rubbed their, eyes , once w see - If they were awake, . but having satisfied themselves on that score . they lost no time In hastening their money Into safe- keep ing, nut a number or tueir dreams will come true when they begin to spend this Institute money . for long cherished wants. And ' to Mrs. Henry Ladd Corbett who originated the plan and who brought Into-it so much un failing enthusiasm' and untiring work went much praise- and -many thanks. Art Oallsry Crowded. f The -art gallery was crowded In the afternoon and as so many children were in attendance pictures that were of especial Interest to them were shown. Prominent business nouses ex hibited 1 the pictures which had - been painted to advertise their trade.- Mrs. Francis James Bailey and Miss Mary Montgomery were in charge of the pic tures and assisting them to care for the treasures were: Mrs. William Pangle, Mrs. W. H. Boyer, Mrs. George W. McBride and Miss Lillie V. O'Ryan. xne leucine, King & jaxe soap com pi exhibited the painting "Bubbles: which was posed for by little Florence Pangle. Sherman 4 Clay Piano com pany showed "The Master Voice," a painting from life posed by a real dog and phonograph. The Knight Shoe company exhibited "The Old Woman in the Shoe," posed for by Bessie Wheeler: "Buster Brown" was posed for by Charles Voorhies snd was displayed by Ben Selling's Clothing store: the Royal Bakery posed PCfgy Boyer for the painting, "Queen"; Clementine Wil liams and Fu Son posed for "The Orient and America," jj , a most ef fec tlve nfcture, with handsome surround ings from the Shanghai Basaar; Peggy Boyer wis the central figure In the picture, The Oregon Rose," displayed by the Oregon hotel; and Douglas Bur rell wasiposed in an excellent like ness of Theodore Roosevelt as the conquering hero returning with his spoils, handsome furs from Llebe's Fur store. i -' .

"We walked because we were broke," said Mr. Seabury. "The boy has been accompanying me on long Jaunta afoot ever since he was S years old, and there is' never a whimper tn him. When ne was years old he walked 30 miles in one day, and 94 miles in four and one half days. Long distance walking is his strong forte.

A second struck my left coat sleeve, and I saw Carmack standing sideways, but facing me, his pistol aimed at me. I drew my revol ver, and fired three times as fast as I Could.- Then I stopped. "Senator Carmack's knees seemed to rive way. He reeled and fell toward the gutter. "I heard father say something about a coward hiding behind a woman's skirts after Senator earmark had drawn his revolver. I was k under a terrific nervous strain, but I am certain tip to that time father had not drawn a pistol. Father did not say, 'Now I nave you.' or.

A bullet found in the hos pital was Introduced as evidence,, but Robin Cooper said he could not iden tifr It as the one that hit him. An X-ray picture taken during the morning did not show a bullet in Robin Cooper's shoulder. From this it is ar gued by the defense that the bullet found was the one that hit the young man. The bullet is lead, of .38 cali ber, the caliber of Carmack's gun. Robin Cooper denied he had ever cursed Carmack.
