TOO HOT FOR LECTURE.

MIR. Ibraham +, Ulkhouri, the Syrian,
was billed to deliver "A lecture on his ma
tive land In the Pine street Methodist
church last evening. He was there and
had brought along his fancy rugs but the
lecture did not take place. A dozen Ia
dies braved the intense heat and these
with two gentlemen besides one usher
composed the audience. The atmosphere
was simply sitting inside the church
After quickly sizing up the situation
Rev. 4. :. j. McAllister, the pastor OF
the church, walked into the pulpit and
said Ladies' and gentlemen, l take
great pleasure in introducing to you-Mr.
Ulkhouri. He W i'll not talk this evening
us the attendance is so small but 1t il
hoped that another meeting can be ar
ranged for him before he is Obliged to
leave the city. All who desire to meet
him can now be allowed the opportun-
ity.''
Rsrhe announcement of Mr.. McAllisteI
came as a relief to the small gathering
A few of the number went forward and
grasped the hand of the Syrian and
looked over his rugs Then in very few
minutes the church was closed for the
evening.

OIL AND GOLD MINES.


Major Desborough, writing from
Fresno, Calf, says: Il found Grape
Nuts food 40 miles In the mountains in
an old oil camp, where the whole crowd,
ten men, eat 1t for breakfast every day
and every Sunday have it in a pudding for
dinner
General f. c. Machen, an old Confed-
crate soldier, has just returned from an
extended trip through the Southwest and
along the Mexican border, investigator g
mining properties. He says: "No matter
where / travelled, l always found 1t pos
sible to get Grape Nuts and Postum Food
Coffee of which am very fond"
The Grape Nuts breakfast food Is espec-
tally valued by campers and frontier PEG
pie, as it Is already cooked and ready for
instant service, and being concentrated,
furnishes unusual strength and nourish-
ment, In small quantity. 1t is believed
that . man can travel farther and exer-
else more continuously, on lew tea
spoons of Grape-Nu than ON a like quau-
tity of any other food known.
The reason for this is that there are
selected elements in Grape-Nute
that furnish direct to the brain
and nerve eenters, the necessary
PARTICLES TO rebuild the delicate gray
matter contained in these parts, therefore
a man continuously fed on Grape Nuts is
absolutely certain of good condition OF
the nervous system, which is really the
controller of the entire body.

THE GEM THEATRE.
Plays from the pen of Haddon Cham
bers can be generally regarded rs sue
cesses One of his latest was the "Iyran-
ny of Tears" in which John Drew scored
30 signal triumph last season, and in
1.-The Fatal Card, - his constructive skill
shines out brilliantly.
This play which is the Offering at the
Gem theatre this week is attracting large
audiences and they invariably leave salts
fled that it is the best thing which the
company has done this season. The ex-
plosion scene and falling walls, etc, is
piece of realism which calls out the
loudest kind of praise. From start to
finish the utmost care has bean paid to
the details of stage setting, and through
.out the masterful hand of Mr.. Eberle Is
apparent.
Secure your seats at the Office of the
Cssco Bay Steamboat company for the
remaining nightly performances with
matinees today and Saturday.
M'CULLUM'S THEATRE.
When Manager McCullum engaged May
Hosmer for the leading lady of his stock
company this season he chose wisely.
The first two weeks oDthe season Miss
Hosmer appeared in distinctly opposite
parts and created most favorable inn
preston. In the production of The Lost
Paradise - this week in the character of
Margaret Ruthner she is winning
sincere appreciation, firmly establishing
herself in the good opinion of local play
goers. Miss Hosmer's conception of the
character is one that displays more than
average intelligence, and her impersona-
ton of the naughty and spoiled daughter
of the wealthy manufacturer Is marked
by a dignity, reserve and finish that COM
mends her TO the favorable attention OF
the most crit cal and fastidious theatre
goer.

HARBOR NEWS.
The whsrvc.la Popular Resort Dartns
the Hot Summer season.

The sweltering weather Of yesterday
drove to the water front crowds Of peo-
Pile who were bent on getting fresh
breath of air and relief from the torrid
rays experienced on the streets In all other
sections of the city. The crowds were
well repaid for their pains for there were
at times just strong enough breezes blow
ing in from the sea to cool OF all Of the
habitues of the wharves and docks. These
places, by the way, are fast becoming a
most popular rendezvous and on almost
any afternoon the same lot Of people can
be seen sitting about the ends of the
piers enjoying the breezes and looking
down the harbor. OF late Portland pier
seems to be the favorite resort and seats
ON the big log at the end of this wharf
are generally at a premium by the early
part of the afternoon. Here on this log
William ii. Mcdonald. one Of the popular
newspaper men of the city, rests from his
incessant labors of the night and makes
a fine host as he discusses with his accus-
toned vigor the issues of the day, Mr..
Mcdonald is often accompanied by
"Phoa" Sampson, co-worker who can
talk baseball and talk it In an intelligent
way from morning to night. James
Feehan, another of the craft, is also
member of the limited circle OF the pier.
Jim Is never more contented than when
getting points on the lobster market.
He has travelled about the water front
for many years now and is familiar with
about every nook and corner in ito SEQ
tion.
The veteran pilot, Jack Martin, is for
the first time in long while, taking n
summer off. He was for years steadily
employed by the late Captain Ben Willard
and is one of the best known and capable
mariners on this coast. The novelty of
a vacation seems rather odd to this vete-
ran who feels quite out place as he sits
on the log and pulls away at his pipe.
MIR. Martin says that there is more activ-
ity in and about Portland harbor this
summer than he has known for num-
Der Of years He visits the barge office
every day and it is treat when he and
Captain Pickett get together and talk
old times.
Yesterday the bark Grace Deering
finished loading for south America and
was pulled out into the stream prepare
tory to her long voyage.
The schooner Angeline arrived from
Provincetown, Mass early in the after
noon with lot of mackerel. This is
one of the finest looking vessels of her
class that has entered this harbor in a
long time, was the remark of Inspector
Tobie as he looked out of the office and
with his trusty glass spied the Angelina
turning around the breakwater.
The steamer Horatio Hall arrived from
New York at a few minutes past two
clock, having experienced a most pleas
ant trip.
The schooner Northern Light came
in with fish and the revenue cutter Wood
bury arrived from "a cruise during the
forenoon.
The tug Irytion arrived in the morning
towing tine coal barge Enos Soule and
left soon afterwards taking out the
schooner Clara f. Randall.
The bark Ethel sailed for South Ameri-
ca in the afternoon.
