Scared the Papuans.

There is no opening for dentist In
New Guinea. The Papuan can sever
the wirelike rattan creepers which en-
tangle him in the forest at one bite
and sharpen his teeth on the fiinty
sugar cane sticks which he is con-
stantly chewing. In "A Collectors
Rambles' Mr.. Sherman F. Denton re-
lates an amusing incident which at
tended display of Yankee dental
achievement.
The natives had been going through
some very clever tricks for our amuse-
ment, but we in turn were unable to
astonish them by anything we could do
until my companion, Shelley, told them
he could take his teeth out and put
them back again. NO" they said,
lyon cannot do that, for that is impos
sible:" In reply Shelley tapped his
teeth with his nail to show his audi
ence that they were teeth, and then.
extracting the plate on which he had
two or three artificial ones, he opened
bis mouth, showing the gap where they
had been.
The Papuans waited to see no more,
but all started for the small door at
once. In their haste to get out they
stuck. and feared for few moments
they would tear the house down. Those
who were unable to get out at once
howled' in their fright and created a
great ,uproar, and, in spite of our tell.
ing them that we were only in fun,
they could not be persuaded to- come
back again :foE a. long time, and then
they came, only under the promise that
ne would never do that again. $780, S, -.

Crane in Portland.

Charles Frohman was asked the
other day how long he thought David
Harum" would live as a play. He an
swered that it all depended on how
long William III. Crane, who is now un
der his management, cared to appear
in it, 1T is good for at least ten
years." said the manager, and the
profits from the work will more than
pay the salary of the President of the
United States each year that 1t asks
attention. If Crane will stick to
'Harum' he will never need another
play as long as he lives" The success
of the dramatization of Wescotts
novel has been certainly very pro-
nounced and as it's bookings are now
arranged it will take at least three
years to present it in all of the princi
pal cities. Mr. Cranes individual hit
in the play is of large proportions. He
shows three sides of David Harums"
character and each one of them is
clear-cut and distinct. At first Harum
is seen at his favorite pursuit. trading
horses; later the business side of his
makeup is shown in his bank and fl
nally there is a picture of the mans
home life. The dramatization made of
the book is said to be very satisfying.
Very few liberties have been taken
with it and all that was good and
bright in it has been retained in the
play. AS is known the play will be
presented at the jefferson Theatre,
Portland on Thursday and will be re-
peated Friday and Saturday afternoon
and night.

Lovers Lane" Soon Here"

The big New York and Chicago sue
cess, VIM. A. Brady's beautiful pro-
duction Lovers Lane" by the popular
American author, Clyde Fitch, will be
the attraction at the Opera House on
Thursday March 10. Pure wit is al
ways better than low wit, no matter
how cleverly portrayed and is exempli-
fled by the success of Lovers Lane. "
No striving to the ridiculous, but clean,
wholesome humor that does not bring
the blush to the cheek with a love
story, sweet and simple, are the uali-
ties of this rustic play. A large cast of
over 80 artists and handsome senic eff
fects are carried complete.

AMUSEM ENTS.
1.-THE Fatal Wedding"

Daniel r. Ryan and his company won
new laurels, last evening, in The Fatai
Wedding" and the large audience that
braved the severe storm was well re-
paid. The play is a tragic story of life
in the rich and noble classes of France,

Iron Master Sharing the 'honors Of
the evening with Mr.. Ryan in the role
of the proud, brave, loyal Philippe Der
blay, was Miss Ella Boyer as his es-
tranged wife, Her part demanded the
portrayal of the deepest emotions and
the most intense passion, and in every
situation she looked and lived her part
to the life.
The support was uniformly strong.
The company has not yet shown a weak
spot In the exciting duel scene in the
last act Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. Browne. as
the Duke de Bligney. had a chance as
in Don Caesars Return" to show their
remarkable skill in fencing which they
well improved. The ladies of the COM
pany wore some beautiful costumes
and the stage settings in every scene
were rich and effective. All of the
scenery is the company's own.
The presentation of Jim the Pen
man. in the afternoon drew an eXcep-
tionally large matinee audience and
was well received. The specialties are
good as on the opening night and are
different every evening. This evening

Opera house will no doubt again be
crowded. The weeks engagement oil
