SALEM
SOCIAL
EVENTS
Mrs. Fiske at Portland.


Mrs, Fiske, the foremost of American
actresses, is to play an engagement
at Cordray's theatre. Her appearance
is justly regarded as one of the most
important dramatic events that Port.
land has known in many seasons, and
It has aroused the greatest interest
among theater-goers Of the city and
vicinity. During the engagement
Mrs, Fiske will be seen in two plays
that show radically different phases
of her art, MARY Magdala," the pow.
erful Biblical drama, by Paule Heyse,
that ran for 16 weeks In New York,
will be acted on Monday and Tuesday
nights. Mrs. Fiske has produced it
so magnihcently that at the time OF
its presentation in New York it was
said that the American stage has seen
nothing to compare with it. Besides
giving an intensely dramatic nara
tion of the story of the Magdalen,
the play shows a series Of remark
ably elaborate and beautiful settings
and picturesque costumes, reproduce
ing perfectly Jerusalem as 1t vas In
the days of plate. In the final act
occurs the famous storm scene, that
is a wonderful example Of state re.
alism. In the role Of the Magdalen,
Mrs. Flske has won one of the great
est triumphs of her career, her portray
al being deeply sympathetic and APP
pealing, and strongly emotional. The
caste is a large one, numbering. in
some of the scenes, over 100 people.
On Wednesday evening the bill will
be Henrik Ibsen's mastery play, He'd
da Gabler," that has no parallel In the
modern drama for thrilling interest
and truth 70 human nature. Mrs.
Fiske produced the play in New York
recently, when It created a veritable
sensation, Her Hedda is a superb ex.
ample OF n%aturalistic acting, a worthy
impersonation Of one Of the greatest
roles known in TO the stage. It Is In
striking contract 10 Mary Madalen,
and is admirable evidence Of Mrs.
Fisk's versatility. The presentation
OF "Hedda Gabler" Is an event OF the
artistic Importance. Both
plays have been staged by Mrs Fiske,
whose genius as a stage manager, is
well known.

HOBO CROOK LANDED in JAIL.
Eugene Officers Capture Tramps Be.
lieved to have Robbed in Cottage
Crove


Eugene, Or. April 23.-Last evening
about 6 o'clock Chief of Police Stiles,
Of this city, arrested three hobos,
whom the officers r certain are the
one who robbed a saloon at Cottage
Grove the night previous. The saloon
was broken into, and quite a sum in
small change was taken, besides some
foreign souvenir coins.
When the men were searched a
purse full of nickles and dimes was
found on their persons. and they had
a number of foreign coins which tally
with the description OF those stolen
from the saloon.
The capture Of the hobos was eff.
fected soon after their arrival here on
a freight train. The chief OF police
saw them get off the train and made
for them, but they started TO run
and would have escaped had not a
man who was passing along the street
headed them on in an alley and held
them until Chief Stiles arrived.
The men were taken back TO Cot.
tage Grove today for examination.

ployes of the road, without their sus-
pecting the presence of the nest until
the car was coupled on and hauled to
Southbridge. The mother followed the
train, and on it's arrival brooded and
fed her young, which were Just
hatched. She followed the train back
on its return trip to East Thompson,
where she again fed and housed the
young birds. On the second trip of
the train, in the afternoon, the bird
again followed her young to South

Happiness, like beauty, is merely
