Portland Stock Report. Dec. 5.

Cattle-There was a fair supply of
cattle here Monday, over 1000 head
being offered. Most of them were
on the good to prime variety, which
found exceptionally good sale. Trad
ing started at the opening of the
market and most all arrivals were
sold long before noon. Prices ruled
steady to strong. Feeder trade was
limited, although several loads of or
dinary stockers were bought up A
number of loads of prime steers got
in at $7.25, with others at s6.S5 to
$40. Everything sold readily, the
quality being very good on the bulk
of stuff.

Warming to BUYERS Of BaIed Hay.

The United States Department Of
Agriculture is investigating the prac-
tice of some shippers of hay of We
neering or facing the bales. Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the baling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that is of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled and manipulat-
ing the forkful in such a way that
the igh-grade hay covers the outside
of the bale, making the bale appear
to contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay AS
sociation has requested the depart
ment to cooperate with it in trying
to eliminate this practice, believed to
be dishonest. Buyers of baled hay
are warned to be on the lookout for
this practice in order to avoid accept
ing on a cursory examination lower
grade of hay than they intend to pur-
chase.

Very thin or pitchy stands of al
falfa sometimes result from poor
seed, winter freezing or pulling, or
from fungous diseases. Attempts to
thicken and improve such stands by
any method of reseeding have usually
proved successful. It is best in such
cases to plow and prepare the seed
bed anew, after which the alfalfa
should be sown again.

Everything is in readiness for. the great

Judge Alvin NJ. Douglas, chairman of
the parade committee, says that large
number of cars have been promised and
that the parade will be great success,

ADJUSTMENTS
- the Jefferson

Martha" the perennially popular
light opera, was capably presented yes
terday at the Jefferson theatre by the
Boston English Opera company.
The five leading roles of the opera were
filed by artists, who sang well. Miss
Carmen, as Martha, had a delightfully."-
pleasing soprano and sang the arias with
a charm that brought forth applause
When she rendered THE Last Rose of
Summer she received a strong demon
stration.
The opera was well staged. The scene
in the Richmond forest was decidedly ar
tstic. In support of the principals was
a company of we'll trained voices.
The story of Martha is too well known
to recount. The adventure of two noble
women who, disguised as peasants, at
tend the county fair and there con-
tracted their services as servants to two
young farmers, with its subsequent per-
picking situations and love scenes, was
told artistically. The fact that Lionel
was of decidedly portly bearing and un-
certain age did not detract whit from
his vocal efforts William Sheehan, as
Lionel, sang splendidly and was given
rounds of applause after his renditions.
The quartet, consisting of Mr.. Sheehan,
Mr.. Gels, Miss Carmen and Miss de Sell
lem, was well balanced and struck a
harmony that was full and rich. They
proved captivating in their Spinning
Wheel Quartet and Good Night" num-
Der.
The special symphony orchestra, under
the baton of Maestro Fichandler, was
pronounced splendid and after render
ing a symposium of the airs of the opera,
prior to the final act, was given a
well deserved ovation.

Charge Will Die of Poison

Mobile, November 29.(Special)
No officer came here from Birmingham
Wednesday to take Louise Hill, alias
Mrs. II. L. Milton, back to that city
to answer a charge of forgery. The
indications are that the services of
an officer will not be necessary, as
the young woman was still in pre-
carious condition at the city hospital and
she cannot live. She is from Okla
homa City, but refuses all information
about herself.
After her arrest Monday night, while
en- route to her room, she went into
a drug store and purchased BIZ
chloride of mercury tablets and later
in her room mixed them up and drank
the mixture.
The warrant charging the woman
with forgery alleges that she obtained
$685. by signing check Mrs. H. L.

Stuart and Adjutant General Sale, in an
nual session here, Is discussing serious

"The House of Glass"

The early season surfeit of stage en-
tertainmens of the more frivolous de-
scription will be relieved at the Jefferson
today, matinee and night, by the first
presentation here of the Conan and Har-
ris success of the last New York sea-
son, 1.-THE House of Glass" This play is
described as a melodrama of an entirely
new school and is said to present
greater variety of thrills than the stage
has known in many seasons. 1t was
written by Max MARGIN, a young Column
bia college graduate, and first disclosed at
the Gambler theatre, New York, last
September, continuing through the sea-
son and perhaps enjoying more gen
erous patronage than any of the plays
seen in the metropolis last year. Bir-
mingham theatrregoers have learned to
look with special favor upon the Cohan
and Harris productions, and 1.-THE House
of Glass will no doubt be the first of
the seasons more pretentious stage offer
ings to test the capacity of the theatre.

"The Serenade"

One of the most successful comic opras
ever offered to the American public was
THE Serenade,' and it held the atten-
ton of the American theatregoing pub
lie for several years. 1t is again to be
presented this season and will be seen
at the Jefferson Friday and Saturday
night under the management Of Messrs.
Walker and Stevens. 1t was this firm
that last season offered Reginald de
Koven's Robin Hood on tour, and The
Serenade" is to be given with the same
cast that sang the de Koven opera. THE
Serenade" was written by Harry B. Smith
who furnished the books and lyrics and
the music was written by Americas fore
most composer, Victor Herbert Many Of
Herberts admirers hold to the view that
in 1.-THE Serenade' he has done the very
best work of his career.

UNDERWooD's OPINION

Senator Underwood of Alabama, wher
asked about the Fitzferald plan, saic:
"An embargo may be imposed in aG-
cordance with or without infringing upor
mandates of the constitution. 1t may
safely be resorted to when it is necessary
to take some drastic action to save the
life of nation
1t was the plain intimation that in the
opinion of Senator Underwood the pro-
posed embargo is dangerous not only in
its effect, but in the precedent that it
would establish.
