NOT WITHDRAWN.
Allegation OF Fraud Against Woodbury.
a MouIton Remains In Petition.

From q careful examination of the
papers in the case on file as the ONCE Of
the clerk Of the United States court 10 sp-
pears that the PRESS was In error In
stating that the allegation OF fraud had
been withdrawn from the involuntary
bankruptcy petiti,n In the case OF Theo-
dore Z. Woodbury. and Edward II. York.
The erorr came by Misunderstanding OF
the case OF the part Of MIR. II. M. Verrill,
attorney for the bankrup s. who assured
the paper that the allegation had been
withdrawn. and that since that was the
attitude of the petitioners there would be
no contest against the adjudging OF his
clients as bankrupt but that he should
surely contest were any fraud alleged.
The misunderstanding arose from q
hasty and superficial examination Of the
papers In the case. On . petition to
amend the original petition two connts
alleging fraud were crofssd by wavy lines
In Ink ana the word Withdrawn" was
written IN the margin. Without stopping
TO 90 further into the details the supposi
tion was natural that the counts were
withdrawn. Yesterday morning Mr.. L.
w. Freeman, the attorney for the pc
titioners, called attention to the error.
and by examination of the papers 1t Is
found that what Mr.. Freeman says 10
true
An understanding of the case may be
gathered fr ON the following statement OF
facts. MIR. Freeman's original petition
fer Involuntary bankruptcy was regarded
as not So fiioient specific and he prepared
and presented petition to amend. In
the fist draft OF this petition to amend
he had W, itten the prayer of his clients
that the Ell lrs paragraph containing the
Q sential allegation be stricken out and
three new counts, two dealing with the
question of fraud, and one with the fact
that an assignment had heen made be
substituted. Then. for some rssson, he
had interlined his frat copy so that the
''last five lines of the paragraph con-
tanning the essential allegations, which
dealt only with the fact of asst gnment.
were stricken out, and the first two
counts of the amendment were then with
drawn, leaving the original allegation, 90
far as 1t pertained to fraud, in the docu-

As Compared with Meat.

One of the most valuable items in ones
dietary is good, rich cream. The remark
is frequently made that "cream is too ex-
pensive tc usu freely" Some people
think they must have meat every day at
10 and rs cents per pound and do not re-
slize that 5 cents worth of pure cream for
breakfast will do more to put on flesh
than 20 or 30 cents worth of meat.
An ideal portion of breakfast is that
obtained from say, four teaspoons OF
Grape-Nuts and little, pure, thick
cream. either cold or hot.
This is one of the most delicious dishes
imaginable and is served without cook G
or trouble of any kind and cannot be
equaled in point Of food value for the hui
man body.
Made by the Postum Co., at Battle
Greek. Mich.
The Grape. Nuts, consisting largely OF
grape sugar, have pa sal through pro
cesses similar to the first act of digestion
and are therefore most easily digested
and in combination with cream, they
render the cream itself easy Of digestion

MAYNARD CONCERT COMPANY.

The increased attendance at the Port.
land theatre yesterday fully attests the
growing popularity of the Maynard come.
dy company and now that playgoers have
become acquainted with the merits of this
capable repertoire organization, crowded
houses are likely TO greet the different
plays for the remainder of the week.
Pygmalion and Galstea was repeated
in the afternoon, while for an evening
Offering the four-aot comedy Tive
Fools Met" was billed. The latter piece
was one of those light almost farcical
creations which permitted the ladies OF
the cast to display their fiirtations pro-
pensities and they had as subjects two
would-be Washers. Some of the stu
ations were somewhat ludicrous and the
whole cast made the most of their oppor-
tunities. The audience was kept in the
best of humor from start to finish and
evidenced their pleasure by outbursts OF
| laughter.
As said before in this column the vaude-
Vile features are above the average and
add decidedly to the evenings entertain
ment
Last nights play will be repeated at
today's matinee and tonight DARK
Side of London" is billed.

MIR. HIPS programme consisted of Sc
Iections from Haydn, Sohumann, Brahms,
Chopin and Mcdowell, besides several
mum bers of his own composition.
The Haydn variations were given with
true musical knowledge, while the
Nachtstuck by Schumann, showed MIR.
Hills comprehension of that beautiful
study.
His left hand work showed to great adj
vantage in the Chopin Impromptu. -
The grace and beauty of the MaoDowen
selections, added to the delicacy of Mr..

gems of the programme.

on Wednesday. March 90, and he will
be gladly welcomed on his return.
THE PRINCE OF POLIO.
The gymnasium of the Athletic club
presented an interesting appearance yes
terday afternoon. The coryphees were at
work with their coats off and under the
careful care of Mr.. Gilbert. were execu-
ting the ballet in a manner of truly fem
inirs grace The hard work that the clut
members have been putting into their
work has told immensely during the past
week. With one or two more rehearsels
the show will be ready. MI McLellan't
friends will have new reason to be en-
thusiastic over his talents when his mu.
sic is heard on Tuesday night. There are
