PORTLAND, Aug. 28.—Three train- loads of Knights Templar on their way to the grand encampment at San Francisco, spent to-day in this city, and left to-night for California. The Templars were all from Pennsylvania. One train contained the Philadelphia Commandery, the second the Corinth- ian Chasseurs and the last was made up of Knights from other portions of the State. The brevity of their stay prevented the Oregon Commandery arranging a formal programme of entertainment. and as it was the wish of the visit- ing Knights they were taken in cas riages and on the cars about the city and to the Lev and Clark fair grounds. In the afternoon they were served with a buffet luncheon and ldhelll visited the new ‘Masonic Cathe- ral. The Denver Commandery is expect- ed here to-morrow night. These Knights wilf leave the train at The Dalles and come to Portland down the Columbia River by boat in_order to better view the scenery. Wednesday evening the Pittsburg Commandery will arrive in its $35,000° special train of ten c /SBOY MIRACULOUSLY ESCAPES BEING KILLED Charl Car and Wedged in Running Gear, stains Injuries. Charles Gardner, a newsboy, had a | miraculous escape from death yester- | day morning under the wheels of an Eddy street car. In response to a signal from a woman on the opposite | side of the street he started across the car tracks to scll a copy of The Call. He led to notice an ap- proaching car and being deaf did not hear the clanging of the gong or the warning shouts of the motorm The car knocked the boy down and [ when it was brought to a stop he wa | found wedged in the front truck. The passengers ,thought he had been killed. They secured scantlings from an adjacent lumber pile and pried up the car in order to release the boy. When he was finally dragged from his perilous position it was found that he had escaped serious injury. Mrs. L. Muston of the Apollo Ho- tel witnessed the accident and tele- phoned to the Central Emergency Hospital for the ambulance. She also notified the Fire Department. The members of Truck Company No. 3 were quickly on the scene, but the boy had been-released before their ar- rival. - He wag taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, where a few slight wounds on his head and.hands were dressed. —_——— ‘We Do It All. printing, electrotyping, bookbinding.

MISS ROBERTS | S CONVINCING Secores a Succegs in “Tess of the d’Urbervilles” at the California Theater SUPPORT IS EXCELLENT | Orpheum Presents Meritor- | | ious Bill for the Week.| Neill Company at Grand | | —_—— | Just what might have been ex-| pected from Miss Roberts’ comfort- | able, sincere and engaging talent hap- | pened with her “Tess of the d'Urber- | villes” last night at the California | { Theater. | | Some three years ago at the same | theater Mrs. Fiske presented the play. | With it Miss Roberts last night opened | her usual summer engagement to an i audience that filled every seat in the | house. The popular little actress was | welcomed in the usual hearty fashion | and as usual deserved all she got. | | But Miss Roberts is not Mrs. Fiske— | {in which there is more than meets | the eye. Nor, with all due respect, is | Mrs. Fiske Miss f?ex'tfiftomparison | being better funfhan criticism here. | The matter is intimately one of per- | sonality. Mrs. Fiske could not, for instance, with her tense, brilllant lit-; tle face and supremely mental art, | ever quite succeed in suggesting the | utter naivete of the Tess of the earlier scenes of the play. Here Miss Rob- erts is charmingly successful. She brings a freshness, simplicity, tender- ness that engage immediately the pity | and sympathy of the auditor for the i unhappy girl. One never quite felt that Mrs. Fiske’'s Tess could be so hardly treated. One felt she could help ~herself and everybody else. From the moment, however, when Tess sells herself to Alec for her starv- | ing family, Mrs. Fiske'’s moment be- gan. And there Miss Roberts’ ended. In the pleasure of the first two acts one begins to hope that the big third would also go. Can she?—one kept asking cone’s self, as in simple, woman- ! ly and appealing fashion, with a right strong note where Tess goes “out into the night” with Alec, the part was built up. But that tense magnetism that holds the scene without a word is not Miss Roberts.” Where Tess takes the too-long economized carving knife to Alec there were not a few laughs. Never, as with Mrs. Fiske, did one feel the supreme nervous goad of the i situation. It is quite possible, how- ever, that the scene will strengthen, and the characterization will certainly be enjoyed as it is, in its charming first scenes of the best of Miss Roberts’ work. | The supporting company in part is | excellent. ~ Miss Roberts has Hobart Bosworth, former leading man with Mrs. Fiske, as leading man, and as with Mrs. Fiske, the Alec a'Urber- | ville. Mr. Bosworth is an admirable brute { Where brute he needs to be, otherwise | MARKS BROS. . ADVERTISEMENTS. MONDAY, AUGUST 29 inch Plaid Taffeta Ribbon in both Ribbons...

Mr. Henderson is almost too beautiful as Angel Clare. it is a case here of rival beauties in the leading men. Still, I think Mr. Hender- son has it. He Is even more lovely than White Whittlesey. He is not much else as Angel Clare but something for Tess to hang her arms round. The smaller| parts, again, are unusually well filled in, though needing a little toning down. Willlam Yeranse is capital as John| Ducbeyfield, amazingly lifelike. So, too, | is Louise Royce as Joan Durbeyfield. Bertha Blanchard shows considerable temperament as Marjon, though 'her drunken scene does most credit to her inexperience. The rest are well in key with their work, and a remarkable de- gree of atmosphere is attained in the performance. The houses promise to be record ones this week. BLANCHE P.\RTI.\'GT‘\'. e T The leading feature at the Orpheum yesterday was the spectacular and sensational military act billed as “Our Boys in Blue,” which was brought in its entirety direct from Boston, where it created a furor week before last at Keith's, during the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic. Fifteen sturdy voung men, garbed in the regu- lation United States uniform, were em- ployed and gave some exceedingly diffi- cult drilling, covering not only the manuel of arms, but also showing great celerity and precision of intricate move- ments. The drill corps of the various Knights Templar Commanderies could undoubtedly get some pointers from these youths, who hail from Indiana. Six others gave artillery drill and there was a lively bit of wall scaling, in which a Red Cross nurse was cars ried up, holding the American flag, amid hurrahs from the excited and thoroughly enthused audience. “Our Boys in Blue” is the best thing of the kind ever presented in San Francisco. Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Kelcy are back with an _amusing sketch, entitled “A Young_ Parson’s Predicament,” and Paul Barnes, an affable monologist in a tramp makeup, held his auditors| laughing for twenty minutes. Harry Klein and Pearl Clifton, a limber- | limbed dancing @0, made a hit and the | Musical Goolmans were warmly ap- | plauded. Max and Julia Heinrich were | heard in melodies and Eva Willlams and Jac Tucker repeated their hit of last week in “Skinny’'s Finish.” AL | ‘Treloar, the muscular man, assisted by Edna Tempest, the up-to-date athletic girl, continued his physical culture act. S An adaptaticn of Ouida’s thrilling story. “Under Two Flags,” was given by the Neill company at the Grand Opera-house last night. While the play has been seen here many times it is always welcome and was sgreeted with a crowded house last night. Neill | takes the leading role, that’ of Bertie | Cecil Royellieu, and as Cigarette Miss | Edythe Chapman won the hearts of all. Harry Cashman's work as Rake, the faithful servant, is particularly | commendable; in fact there does not seem to be enough of him. The cther | parts in the play are well taken. Dur- ing the performance Neill paused to administer a well merited rebuke to a number of hoodlums in the gallery, | who persisted in insulting the ladies on | the stage. His remarks were received with applause by the audience af the play proceeded without further inter- ruption. It is on for the week and should have a good run. ———— CHINESE LOTTERY IN TROUBLE.—Po- lice Commissioner Drinkhouse was the central figure yesterday in a raid on a Chinese lottery at 607 Jack=on street.
