YiIIae to Appear Here

BY a rare stroke of good for
tune we are TO have the pleasure
of seeing a few more demonstra-
tions of DR.. Villae's amazing
power at the Multnomah Theatre.
II will be a thing remembered
for some time. his being at the
Princess theatre about three
years ago. In the three years he
has been away Villae has made
rapid strides toward the front
ranks of his profession. having
even worked for three months
in a hospital in Milwaukee treat
ing drug fiends. and in addition
to his performance he promises
an instructive treatise on the
cure of the drug habit. From
the Eastern press notices and
personal recommendations of
some prominent Eastern scien-
lists. Villae must have an ex-
hibition far eclipsing anything
ever seen before. This being
the open season in the amuse-
ment world. Villae brought his
wife, who is a st. Johns girl.
home for a visit, and hearing of
some of the so-called hypnotic
shows and expose of hypnotism
seen here since. he has con-
sented to set every ones mind
at rest by a truthful and honest
demonstration for next Monday
and Tuesday. in which he in
vites the local doctors to test
everything he does. for as he
says, | consider St. Johns my
home town now, and want to
keep them from being imposed
upon in the future. So let all
give him a rousing reception at
the Multnomah Monday and
Tuesday nights. July 1914. ADV

THE LIBRARY
Notes for the
Library Patrons

Hours for July and August /:
Afternoon 2:30 TO $3.50.
Evening g-7 to 3.
No Sunday opening.
During July and August the
library will open at 2:30 instead
of at II. Otherwise the hours
remain the same.
From July Is to August Is the
library will be left in charge Of
Miss Hollenbeck.
Probably the most noteworthy
magazine article of the month
is "A Message to the Middle
Glass" by Seymour Deming in
the July Atlantic Monthly.
Don't miss il.
The library would appreciate
donations of old illustrated
magazines which it may utilize
in building up its picture collec.
tion for use in the schools and
in the library itself.
The library flower calendar
was made especially attractive
this week by the gift of a box
of Indian Pipe sent from near
Welch's on Mount Hood by Mrs.
Geo. Jeifcott. The Indian Pipe
or Ghost Flower came through
in remarkably good condition
considering its delicacy. and are
still standing straight and white
like fantastic icicles. as though
they were still in their native
woods.

Dunbar Life and Works.
Paul Laurence Dunbar has.
according to William Dean
Howells. made the strongest
claim for the negro in English
literature that the nergo has yet
made. His father and mother
were negroes without admiXture
of white blood. The father es-
capped from slavery in Kentucky
to freedom in Canada, and the
mother was freed by the Civil
War. The son was born at Day
ton, Ohio, in 1872, and grew up
with such chances and mis-
chances for mental training as
everywhere befall the children
of the poor. At the time that
he began TO write poetry, and
for some time after, he worked
as an elevator boy. To read this
intimate story of his life makes
one even more ready to enjoy
his thoroughly enjoyable verse.
Evert The Speaking Voice.
Next to that primary instinct,
the instinct for self preserya-
tiOn. the strongest impulse of
the human heart is for self ex-
preston. The failure of society
to provide simple and natural
means of self preservation has
led to the American anarchist.
The failure of education to pro-
vide for the training of the
simple and natural means of
self expression has led to the
american voice. " I'm this book
Miss Eyerts, who lately com
pleted a course of lectures on
the voice in Portland, gives a
simple and condensed method of
voice culture for the busy man
and woman. Her claim is that
faithful practice of these ex-
orcises for fifteen minutes a day
will do much toward converting
our high pitched. harsh, hard
American instrument of torture
into the low toned, efficient
agent of personality it was in
tended by nature to be.

The Arbitration Treaties.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations re-
ported out yesterday twenty-four general arbitra-
ton treaties which had been held up since last sum
mer by discreditabe campaign of obstruction.
few Senators-among them Mr.. OGorman-haye
objected to ratification because under one conven-
fion-that with Great Britain-t seemed probable
that the dispute over the Panama Canal tolls would
be sent 10 the Hague Permanent Court Of Arbitra-
ton
The treaties, which practically identical and
are in many cases renewals of lapsed compacts, ex-
cept from submission differences arising from the
Interpretation Of international agreements IF these
affect the vital interests independence or honor Of
the two contracting states. There is reason why
with this safeguard the conventions should not be
ratified. The United States has taken an advanced
position in urging international arbitrations as a
substitute for war; and any wavering now would be
unfortunate.
Let us stand fast TO professions as a worker
for the worlds peace. If the dispute over the re-
mission of canal tolls TO American coastwise ship
ping is excluded by the language Of the treaty with
Great Britain, that controversy Will remain in st0tu
quo If It is not excluded ought to be willing TO
send IL TO the Hague court.

Wireless telegraphy worked well in sending out

THE DANCE MADNESS
How the Tango Has Been Modified
Since Il Left the Mud Huts in Argentina.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In these DAYS of dance madness ii
is difficult TO open a New York newspaper
without seeing something about the
largo. Not long ago there was an
article describing how two young Ameri-
can girls went 10 the Argentine Republic
TO see this danced by the natives in It's
original form. IL appears that in Buenos
Ayres they could find out little about the
tango.
This was not to be wondered at. con-
sidering that IL is only danced by the
"gauchos." or cowboys. at the small
bales" or dances, that they give In their
mud huts or. more commonly. I'm the
houses OF i'll repute which exist in every
country town.
The origin of the dance ~ probably
Eastern. having been brought to Spain by
the Moors and from there TO South Amer
lea. where IL exists in various forms I'm all
the South American republics. II has been
claimed tnat the tango is most elabo-
rate dance and has more than two hun
bred steps as danced In Argentina.
This is an absolute farce. The dance Is
a combination OF round dancing and the
immoral dancing still practsed I'm the

China's Official RELIGION.

The readoption OF the Confucian system Of wor-
ship by the Chinese government is likely TO be re-
garded with complacence even by earnest propa-
gandists Of Christianity. We may be sure that it
does not mean an intolerant campaign against
Christianity or persecution Of missionaries. China
IS too far advanced for that. Religious liberty has
been established and cannot be abolished Indeed,
all that know OF Mr.. Yuan assures us that he
would not. II he could. turn the nation back TO
intolerance Nor does il mean that Confucianism
is TO be made an established religion with special
rights and privileges such established churches
in European lands have enjoyed.
