Victor Herbert's tuneful 1t Happened
In Nordland,' originally produced In
New York by Lew Fields, after his
break with his old partner. Weber.
The Hartman company rose to the oc-
casion, but the success OF the musical
comedy lay not particularly In the
notable work OF any individual, but
in the whole remarkable ensemble.
Here was a pretty chorus OF men and
women who seemed thoroughly In
terested I'm their work; beautiful and
correct costumes; clever stage ac-
tion, and exceedingly attractive
dancing. seventy-hve per cent OF the
travelling companies that come TO us
at high prices would not be able TO
give as clean and clever a perform"
ance as that given by this company
Yesterday. There Is very little horse
play, none. In fact, on the part OF the
chorus, but the drill-master has his
forces under very clever command.
SO the pictures OF yesterday were
beautiful, the precision OF marches
and dances really remarkable and the
clever investiture all that was nee
essary. Mr.. Hartman made much
out of a part written for one mans
and the very large au-
dience enjoyed him TO the utmost.

GOTCH
AT THE
GRAND

Tomorrow night the king OF wrest-
lers, Frank Gotch, will be seen at
the Grand opera house, pitting his
enormous strength and agility against
little Eddie O'Connell, the young man
who showed such excellent work on
the mat in this city recently by
throwing Joe La Sale two straight
falls out of three. Last night, In
Portland, Gotch gave a demonstra-
tion OF his phenomenal strength and
wrestling ability. by picking up Eddie
0'Connell, holding him In the air and
laying him down on the mat with ap-
parently no more effort than had
Eddie been lead pencil. This is a
feat that no man in the country
wonld care to do, owing to O'Con-
nell's lightning actions and his wiry
muscles. o'Connel squirmed and
struggled every minute while the big
man was playing with him. but of no
avail, Gotch having absolute control
OF the match throughout.
The above Is an exact likeness Of
the wrestler. showing his ponderous
breast, and long, sinewy arms; his
powerful waist and legs, and one
night judge from his appearance
that no limit could be placed on the
wonderful mans manner OF dealing
with an opponent on the carpet. Dr.

said 10 be n perfectly built man, but
Gotch is built much more powerful

he Is considerably quicker on his
feet.

ing basketball with Eddie O'Connell

Grant, a big bulky 20O-pounder. with
the strength OF more than four av-
erage men, but this opponent did not
phase the champion. He just trlfied
with him a few moments, and then
picked him of the mat and gently
laid him on his shoulders. much In
the same manner as that OF a moth

LIVED UP TO THE
TRADITIONS OF SEA
Captain Robinson OF the Indiana
Fulfilled Every Duty, Then
Sought Death
Terrible Mental Strain Proved
Too Much for Brave and
Proud Spirited Mariner

The Pacific Mail liner Peru which
arrived early yesterday morning from
the lower coast, brought from Point
Tosea the crew of the wrecked liner
Indiana and the remains of Captain
Robinson, the Indiana's master, who
killed himself in his cabin on the
wreck two days before the Peru put
in an appearance. Captain A. F. Pills
bury, surveyor for the Marine under
writer's association, also returned on
the Peru. Chief officer Kidston, First
Assistant Engineer Teiper, a cook and
another were left in charge of the
wreck to keep the pumps going and
maintain possession until it is decided
whether or not an attempt will be
made to float the derelict.
LIVED UP TO TRADITIONS
From the time the ship went ashore
until the captain retired to his room
for the last time, he lived up to the
traditions of his profession. His first
care after the wreck was for his pas
sengers. When they had been safely
disposed of he gave his attention to
the property under his care, and when
Captain Pillsbury arrived at the wreck
he found that everything possible had
been done and so promptly and we'll
that much of the liners cargo was
saved in first class condition.
The day before he died Captain Rob-
inson and Captain Pillsbury took a lit
tie fishing trip and when Captain Rob-
inson retired that night he was appar-
emily in cheerful mood. He was seen
on deck shortly before o'clock next
morning
