Miss Whittier of Philadelphia had a
narrow escape from drowning Saturday
afternoon. She was on Littlejohns raft
with her little brother in her arms; by
mistake she stepped backwards off the
raft. AS she went down she had presence
of mind enough to set the little boy on
the edge of the raft SO that he only got
wet to his knees. She caught hold of the
edge of the raft and worked herself round
to the landing steps before anyone came
to her rescue.

THE KLoNDIKE EXCURSION.
Too Late to Go From Portland Thi $
Season-What 1t Would Cost.

Although SO many wise people utter
discouraging words about the Klondike
regions, the great transportation lines OF
the country are offering inducements all
over the land to would-be gold diggers.
The great Northern Railway Line have a
steamer which leaves Seattle for Dawson
CITY. August 13, and they have been send
ing word about it to the East. Ticket
cent Lawler received notification of it
at the Grand Trunk yesterday. OF course
this is too late for passengers starting
from here. Two or three have already
gone from this State, buying Grand
Trunk tickets to the West
The rates from here to Dawson City are
as follows: From here to Seattle, $S1. rs ;
from Seattle to Dawson city, $500.
1t is also reckoned that a traveller going
from Seattle to Dawson City would need
to take with him for use on the way $40
worth of groceries, $50 worth of clothing
and $50 worth of ha rdware. Thus 1t
would cost s521.52 to get man from
Portland to Dawson City in good shape.
What 1t would cost to sustain him after
he gets there is another matter. From
Seattle to Dawson City the distance is
1888 miles.
Those who go from Seattle on the Great
Northern steamer August 10 will probably
be about the last who will get into the
Klondike this season.

THREE YOUNG THIEVES CAPTURED.
Good Piece of Work by officers Hanson
and Skillings.

Yesterday afternoon Officers Skillings
and Hanson saw three boys on Fore street
and later found that they had been trying
to sell bicycle at pawn shop. They at
once suspected that the boys had stolen
the wheel and followed them. When the
boys saw them coming they took to their
heels and the officers gave chase. They
ran through several side streets but were
captured in shoe shop where they had
taken refuge.
Deputy Marshal Sterling had just been
notified that the store of George G. Shaw
81 Co., had been broken into Monday
night and a quantity of cigars stolen. 1t
was not 10 minutes after the notification
that the boys were brought in. They were
taken in one by one by Mr.. Sterling and
told very conflicting stories about the
wheel. One said they gave $50 for it in
Boston and that he paid IS towards it,
The others said they each paid SIS toward
it but this would only make SIS, and they
could tell nothing about the other 500.
They gave various names, none of them
evidently the real ones. One said he was
16 years'old and the otheratwo II and 81
respectively. Finally Mr.. Sterling
searched them and to his surprise each
one Of the three. had his pockets filled
with cigars. One said they found the
cigars under fence. Another said they
bought them from bootblack, giving
him % cents for them. Mr.. Sterling was
sure he had the young men who broke in
to Shaw's store. The boys had been stay
ing in room at Congress street near
Casco, and when policeman went there
he found three boxes of cigars, which
were later identified as having been stolen
from George c. Shaw & Co.
The boys gave the names of Frank
Williams, David Fisk and George Smith,
but these are probably not their right
names. They say they have been in
Providence, Fall River and Boston.
Frank Williams soon weakened and con-
fessed everything to the marshal. He said
that he and Smith came here last Satur-
day intending to go to the New England
fair and "get job" The third boy they
picked up in Portland, having seen him
before in Boston. One of the boys had a
ladies' watch which he said his sister
gave him. but Williams confessed that it
was stolen from house in Boston near
the State house. They have not yet con-
fessed how they came by the wheel, but
the officers have no doubt it was stolen.
1t was fortunate capture 6@

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
McCullum's Theater.

The Private Secretary is the. laughing
hit OF the season at McCullum' Peaks
island theatre. Niobe created lots of
merriment, but as mirth proyoker
Niobe is not to be compared with Inc
Private Secretary. A more delightful
evenings entertainment Cannot we'll be
imagined than that furnished by Bartley
McCullum and his company of comedians
in this rollicking comedy. Portland
theatre-goers are showing their apprecl-
alton by filing the theatre at every per-
formance.- If you are wise and wish to
enjoy the fun in this great comedy, you
will secure seats at once as hundreds of
people are bound to be turned away
from the doors before the week is over.
Forest City Rink.
Despite the fog of last evening there
was good crowd at the rink to see the
st. Belmors in their wonderful aerial
exhibition Of which there cannot be too
much said in praise. At $50 the surface
was we'll covered with merry dancers
and good time enjoyed by all. Tonight
occurs the masquerade ball with special
order of dances and dancing from $50 to
11.30.
London VaudeyilIes.
One of the finest attractions ever offered
at Riverton park is the entertainment of
the London Vaudeville company, which
is being given this week. A treat is in
store for the public in this great free en-
tertainment The musical features are
unsurpassed. The little lady contortionist
quisim, always laughable and entertain
ing, are better than usual. Ladies and
children can attend without the slightest
thing to offend, and there are always q
good many of them present, particularly
at the afternoon performances. 1t is safe
to predict that with pleasant weather to
favor them the Vaudevilles will be greeted
by the largest audiences of the season.
Zoo at Riyerton.
Most of the visitors to Riverton this
week are taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity offered to see the famous ''Zoo"
which was SO popular in Boston last
winter. The performances occur early
enough in the afternoon and evening so
that the visitor need not miss the per-
formance in the theater and really trip
to Riverton now is not complete without
visit to the Zoo. At the appointed hour
the visitors are taken from cage to cage
and the various animals put through their
PAGES. The performance of the lion
tanner in the cage of three lions is one of
the most thrilling things of the kind ever
seen in Portland. The wrestling match
between man and lion is another
startling and interesting act. The trick
elephant jolly comes in for his share of
the applause as the big fellow is great
favorite with the children whom he
'totes' about the enclosure on his back
seeming to enjoy it just as much as the
little ones do. The reception given by the
charming mite Chiquita is another popu-
lar feature of the show. The little lady
has her own coach and pony with her and
while the rig hardly looks big enough for
a g cd sized doll it appears ample for it's
purpose.
