"When the fellow left the store with
the 40 cents told one of my clerks, a
bright young fellow, to follow aud see
what was done with the money. He
started out but soon came back again
with the information that the beggar
who had obtained assistance had gone

he Door fellow had gone In to get the

five minutes later thel peggar came out OF
the lodging house carrying parcel done

he proceeded to relatd'hisi adventures in
shadowing the heggar. The latter he
said, did not go into liquor saloon or
restaurant, although he passed several,
but some distance up the street he went
into drug store. The clerk followed.
From its wrapping OF newspaper the beg

the druggist with the remark, that he
woud like to have so cents worth OF
alcohol put In 1t. The man OF drugs
wanted TO know for what purpose the
alcohol was TO be used, and his custom er
promptly replied that he had some
jewelry soldering ID do and the alcohol
was for his lamp. The alcohol was put
into the bottle and the beggsr went out
leaving the clerk who was playing de-
tective behind.

THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.
Interesting Paper Fly Levi Turner. Jr.-
Can People Prevent Publication of Their
Photographs, Etc.

at the union meeting of the Logoma-
chian aud Law Students clubs last eye-
ming, Levi Turner, ESQ, read paper
upon a novel subject, that was received
with particular interest. The title of
the paper was "The Right to Privacy. "
The paper was discussion of the legal
right to personal possession OF such
personal rights as the disposal Of photo
graphs of ones own features or descrlp-
tions of ones paintings or collections OF
property of any such nature.
The history of the law shows thatlit
takes cognizance of such rights and case
after case has been tried through the CEN
turtles in England and this country where
in the law has sustained the claim for
such personal rights.
One of these cases, cited by Mr.. Turner,
to which much Importance has been at
tached is that of Prince Albert VS..
Strange, decided in 1S49. Prince Albert
and Queen Victoria had made drawings
and etchings for their amusement and
had impressions of these made for their
own use.
The defendent and confederates had OBJ
tanned some of the Impressions and in
tended to print them but were prevented
by the courts.
Mr.. Turner cited cases in this country
and England. where plaintiffs had pre-
vented defendants from exhibiting photo
graphs, statues, etc.
To show, however, that there is dis
tinction as to what class Of people shall
be thus made public, or have the right
of privacy, he cited the opinion OF the
court in the case whereby the relatives
of Mr.. George Schuyler, of Now York,
prevented the exhibition at the Worlds
Fair Of statue of her.
This statement of the court, Mr.. Tur-
ner said, seemed to him to go to the very
Vitals of all questions of this kind. The
court said: 81 think, however, that the
true dinstinotion to be observed is be
tween public and private characters. The
moment one voluntarily places himself
before the public, either in accepting
public office, or becoming a candidate, or
as an artist or literary man, he surrend-
ers his right to privacy, pro tanto, and
obviously cannot complain of any fair or
reasonable description or portraiture.

Portland's Fire Department
on Exhibition.
A FREE SHOW ON THE EAST SIDE
Yesterdays Fire Burned Itself Outline
Chief and His Men Ratified
An Engine Disabled.
SAYS today's Oregonian !:

gays LOd11
Had every engine, truck and hose,
with every man connected with the de-
partment, remained quietly in their re-
spective houses yesterday morning, the
fire on the East Side could not have
burned any further than it did. The
fire department was entirely impotent.
Chief DeBoest was in command, and
it was his first fire since being promoted
to the place of fireman, and he made
a dismal failure of it. He clearly
showed that he possessed no command
over men, and while he stood helpless,
the "Jim-Crow" members of the de-
partment took orders from ex-Chiefs
Thomas A. Jordan and Joseph Buchtel,
and ex-District Engineer Charles Double
bower. There were men there wearing
the badge of the fire department who
did not even know how to couple
length of hose, wasting their time in try
ing to joint ''he' butts, and so thorough
ly ignorant as not to comprehend that
a reversal of hose length was only nec-
essary. After the waste of fully 20 min
utes, water was finally secured by hose

but by that time, the puny stream had
little effect on the raging flames. At
the sand dock, there were two inclines,
from where full supply of water from
the river could have been got. At the
foot of Belmont street, there is an easy
roadway to the river edge, and at the
foot of East Alder street there is also

not one of these sources of supply was
used. Engine No. lost great deal of
time, the new crew being 80 entirely be-
wildered that the men had no idea of
what was to be done or how to do it.
Engine No. was plugged" at the
start. that is, the engineer turned the
water in from the hydrant, started up
his engine, but failed to open the dis
charge gate, and consequently the en-
CINE was filed with water. Ii it had
been carrying any great head of steam,
the engine would have been blown to
atoms.
Engine No. Z, on the East side, did
not get to the fire. When the alarm
sounded the horses rushed to their places

Then the driver and other mem bers
went out on the street to look at the fire.
While SO engaged, the intelligent horses,
who knew that duty called them better
than the green men, grew so restive that
they started to go to the fire on their
own account, and in doing. SO snapped
the tongue of the engine, and SO dis
abled it. Chemical No. met with a
similar accident, and will have to go to
the repair shop.
The fire was the worst managed of any
in the history of Portland.
