TItESDAT, MAT 8, 1002. t f m'Ai ; r RECKLESS RAILWAY Portland City &, posed to "On of tbs worst accidents In the history of this city la liable to occur any day tfn the Portland City & Oregon ..electric railway," was the unreserved - somment made today by a former Skilled employe of that company.' Asked for a more explicit explanation f bis meaning he continued: "The management of the road Is going from bad to worse as time progresses. All the old and competent employes are being supplanted as fast as possible with Inexperienced and Incompetent man, and . the traveling public is simply taking its life Into its hands In traveling over the - road. The machine shops and the car barns at Milwaukle arc not only filled With raw recruits, but nearly all the con- '. due tors, motormen and everyone else along the line. Including Superintendent - Tiffany, are as far removed from their . proper sphere as a Chinook sarmoa would - be 'If. placed In the Sahara desert. This ' is the reason so many accidents have . already occurred on the road, but" there axe bound to be worse ones, because they : are getting poorer men all the time." " "When the company gets good men, ... Why doe It not retain them?" was " asked. "Because Superintendent Tiffany and the management want cheap men," was the reply, "and the cheaper the better. About six months ago the employes or gan lied m. union and Tom Gault. the . company's present foreman, was elected . president and took an active part m er fectlng the organisation. Shortly after ward Mr. TifTany of Oakland, Cal., suc- ceeded to the position of superintendent - and at once took steps to crush out the ' union and make himself solid with the -management. As a' preliminary he per suaded Gault to renounce allegiance to the union and swear eternal loyalty to SWINDLER IV1ISSING Charles rt?ffm& a Fake Palm Reader and Clairvoyant. . Several victims are looking for Comte - da St.. Charles, a smooth-tongued young man, who has been swindling men and women fit Portland 'by advertising him- self m the "great psychic palmist and clairvoyant.' . . His true name is Charles E. Doherty, and he -Is but an ordinary advertising .solicitor. ,ypr quite a time he was em - ployed on the Oregohtan) tn that ca pacity. He came to this city from 80- attle, where he earned a small salary on the Times. Mr. Doherty thought he knew a thing ' or two about advertising, ans as ne naa made money for others by it, he reasoned not unwisely that he could make money for himself. His thlnktank was full of bright Ideas and his lungs run or "hot . air." Mere was a combination hard to beat.. Doherty engaged rooms at the Cosmos, 2CS Morrison street, put up a sign and Inserted the following advertisement in the morning paper by which he had been employed:. COMTB DE ST. CHARLES, the greatest psychic palmist and clairvoyant, reveals your entire life. He tellH your name, the object of your visit nnd the month you ... was born, without asking a question.

He rather Snrerea at his acquaintances who obtainew a living by honest endeavor. The plan of the young man was to first interesf a caller by telling his name by trick. The caller wouM seat himself fac Soon .to Be Engaged . to Princess Alice of Albany. (Journal Special Service.) BERLIN, May 6 There was a gala time at I o's.lam today in celt kration of . the twentieth birthday of the Crown Prince Ci Cernuuvy, Frederick William.

The report probably owes Its origin to the recent visit paid by Printer Alice to Potsdam. It would cause no surprise, however, if the report proved true for Frederick Wil liam's fondness for the young English Princess has been a subject of remark tver since he paid his Visit to England two years ago. The two are about the same age, Prln ee Alice having celebrated her 19th slrthday last month. . .. U1 vmusuwr oi m ucu . libaar, widow of the Duke of Albany, t 1 OX th late Queen Victoria.

This accomplished, he began to discharge Indiscriminately the oldest and most entrusted employes of the road putting- men with no experience what ever In their places. The union had lJb members, but now hardly any ol them are left." . Fred Roslnger was one of the men dls charged. Mr. Roslnger had been In the employ of tmS company for id years as foreman of the car builders, Put Amel Reinkey, an ordinary bridge builder, whose only recommendation was that he affiliated with no union, was given his position. ,f5ut very few of the men In the company's employ know how to Dlace trucks under a, car. and for this reason an accident was narrowly avert d a few days ago. "The accident on March B, wnen one of the company's cars ran Into a passenger train near the Madison-street bridge, was due to Incompetency on the part of the motorman's helper. The car dis patcher was even, relieved a few days ago, and superseded by a man whose knowledge of the business Is so limited that he is unable to decipher the mean ing at times of the simplest messages. "Yes," repeated the old employe, and several of the other men present coincid ed with the view, "there is bound to be a dreadful accident on that road undir such loose management, and people pat ronlslng it are simply taking their Uvj into their own hands." The managers of the road, especially Fred Morris, the principal stockholder. do not seem to cars for the lives of pas sengers if the statements-made are true. and he certainly does not favor union la bor where skill is a requisite. bor where skill- is a requisite.

A glance at the palm, of the victim waa made, then ne would ask the name to be written on a small piece or paper and folded, uonerty, or course, could not see the name at this time. But he made 'a few more "psy chic passes" and taking up an envelope from .the desk the while being seated inserted the paper as one would a letter. But there was a alit on the back of the envelope, through which tne paper was forced, unseen by the calls, ana :t would fall on Doherty'a knee. While talking and fumbling the envelope, the "great palmist" would unfold the paper on his lap with a right hand nd wttn a glance read the name. Then It 'was an easy matter to make up the life story of the Victim. The mention of the name or tne caller would Invariably mystify, and then Doherty proceeded with his story of how an evil influence was present, how it was combating the successful ability and the happiness and pleasures of life. To remove this evil Influence, Doherty would say It would require from SO to 83 days, the cost to be from $20 to 150, according to how the fake woutd "size up" the victim. The 80-to-83-day proposi tion was a means to keep the victim Interested and thus "bleed" him from time to time. One old lady. Mrs. Groves of St. Johns, was beaten out of J3f through - Doherty 's hypnotic fake. She is M years old, and the plausible "fairy" tales of the young bilk fount qmcrt re sponse In the ears of the trusting old woman. But she Is now, on, so repent ant! And there are others. Meanwhile, Doherty has gone to new pastures, and It is lucky for him that ne has. He is said to be fleecmg the gulli ble at Baker City, Pendleton and other Eastern Oregon towns.

Cjc FIELD illll,MllAlilikwIMMalilMlllwll NEW YORK, May .-i-There to much speculation regarding the special meeting of the United States Golf Association at Delmonlco's this evening. The stated ob jeect la to discuss tht changes In the by laws recently made by the "executive committee afcd for ratifying, changing or amending the same, as the meeting may decide." Many prominent players axe opposed to all changes and think they ought to be voted down. The calling of the meeting has served to revive the old charges that the executive committee seeks to domin ate the game. The changes in the amatoar champion ship and the pairing for the first match play round on the score basis are the ruling to which the most objection Is made. Benny Yanger, the "Tipton Slasher," whose victory over Abe Attel at St. Louis the other night stamped him as a formid able rival for any one, has through his manTiger, John Herts, .Issued a challenge to box any lad weighing from 122 to 124 pounds. There Is some talk of Yanger meetlfig Terry McGovern before the Southern Athletic Club, Loulsvf.Ie, next month. Negotiations have already been made to bring the pair together. Yanger says he will post a forfeit to box Terry and declares that he will sign articles of agreement for a match at any tine. Mc Govern, in anticipation of the encounter being made, has already begun training. There Is one place on 'the diamond that the umpire shuns if possible, but It is the place In which he is practically forced by the rules of the game, and that is close behind the catcher, calling balls and Strikes. The position that would be chosen by them If allowed would be on bases,. The trouble with the posltlun be hind the catcher Is the danger there is to' the feet of the umpire. The rest of his body Is fairly well protected with pads, but his insteps and ankles are' without guards of any kind and a foul tip or a drop ball that gets by the backstop is al most sure to catch the umpire on the foot and serious Injuries have thus fre quently hnppened. All that now remains to complete a match between Jack-Boot and George Gardner at Carson on July 4 Is for the principals to sign their names to a set of articles. A couple of Says ago Alec Oreggaina wired A. Livingstone, who rep resents the Carson Club, that be would briar- ite,.nrQtege there 10 meet Waloott, or any other good man who could be se cured. When Al Smith heard that the Carson Club was looking for a fight to a finiRh he wired Lou Houseman the terms whjch had been offered for a contest. Houseman sent a message this morning asking Smith to accept on behalf of Root. Immediately Smith wired Livingstone Root's acceptance, and now if the Carson people mean business Root and Gardner will fight to a finish for a tS.000 purse on July 4. San Francisco Bulletin.

While traveling from Toulouse to Bor- enux the other day, 'an Inspector of tho allroad fell fast asleep and was not roused until the conductor called out name of a station. As he did not ear the name very distinctly, he sum moned the conductor and asked him what station it was. "Castelsarrazln," was tho reply, where upon tho inspector said, rather angrily: 'Why didn't you call it out jnOre distinct ly? No one could understand what you Silld." "More distinctly?" repeated the con ductor In amazement, and then In a iraglcal voice he asked: "Do you think that you can hire tenors for 80 francs a month?" New York Herald.

Her suckling colt by 'Le Var, now three months old, will probably be given to a mare whose foal s not so highly regard ed, while the mare's foal will be raised by hand. One of the hardest decisions an umpire has to make la calUng a balk on a pitcher. The youngsters, just breaking into fast company, are never troublesome in this particular way, the veterans, who have learned all the tricks of the game, being the ones who cause the greatest annoy ance and who ft away with the play of tener than they are called on it, George Gardner has been asked to box. Jack O'Brien six rounds at Philadelphia within the next three weeks. If he is snatched to fight Root at Carson in July, Gardner will probably decline the Phila delphia offer. - ' NEW YORK.

A lot of new California red onions arrived last evening and are on the market today. EggS are weaksr today, the receipts being rather large and the demand fall lng off. The reason for this Is that the Sound markets are being flooded with Eastern eggs, which trade formerly de pended on Oregon for their supply. Eggs today are quoted .at 15 cents, although in a very few cases as high as lo1 cents Is being paid. Cheese is rather scarce, and there Is a consequent BUdenmg of quotations. The best brands of Oregon- cheese are bringing 14 cents. Receipts of meats are rather light again today.

In' youhg pa tients particularly, unless there-are dis tinct signs of melancholia, it Is not the custom to think of the possibility of sui cide. Undoubtedly many of the youthful planners of suicide If once frustrated in their intention, would become converted to the Idea of Hying on. The reasons for which suicide Is often committed are so trivial that It would not require much persuasion to show the Irrationality . Of the procedure. Often there seem to"' be no . warnings of the sad event to come, yet very seldom will It be found that some at least of the signs of hebephrenic melancholia have not been present - for tome time before the suicide. Toiing pepole are liable to rapid end paradoxic changes . of disposition, changes that cause the obtrusion of "depressed gay ety," or of unseeming jocularity In the midst of depression.

Familiar ity with the idea of suicide thus closely brought home to them readily engenders a contmpt for death. American Medi cine. Signs of Love. It is said a man Is In love-with a wo man: If he is perfectly willing to do anything she may ask, no matter what sort of an Idiot it makes him appear. If he is able to tell without reference to notes what dress she wore the last week, and also to describe the color and design of her hat. If he'll wear anything tn the line of haberdashery which she may see fit to buy or make for him with her own hands. If he stands around at balls and parties With a look of unmitigated gloom brood ing over his beetling brow, and following with his eyes her every movement with a sort of doglike expression he Is either in lo.vo or his liver is out of order. If he is willing to remain up until dawn for the privilege of escorting her home from a dance his 'case Is hopeless. Al though, of course, he may be a night watchman by profession or a victim of nsomnla.
