The affair was notable in Portu guese circles because of the rank of I the distinguished guest and of the j prominence In the county of many of the men who arranged the reception. . There were two bands at the recep tion,, one from the U. P. E. C, the other from the I. D. E. S., the two Portuguese orders. The national hymn of Portugal was played -as an opening number. M. -Betteneourt da Camara. editor of a Portuguese paper, delivered an oration- in his native tongue, and Edward A. Cunha, an' attorney of San Francisco, addressed the assemblage in Eirglish. Bishop da Silva responded, and also closed the program with a j benediction.

FAILS OF NIAGARA BLOCKED WITH ICE Great Wall of Frozen^ Water Extends From Goat Island to Mainland 'NIAGARA- FALLS. N*. V., F<^). 14.— Only a tiny rivulet, not deep n'r swift enough to carrj r a pulp log over the bank,, is flowing over -the American side of . Niagara falls. A strong north east wind, which has blown since Fri ilay, has held back the 'water and al lowed the ice to gain a foothold. Two employes of the American reservation walked from Prospect point nearly to Bath island this ' morning. A great wall, of . Ice runs from the head of Goat island to the American mainland, through which only tiny streams are able to trickle. .This wall has even , encroached on the Ca nadian channel, extending out some 200 feet beyond the Third Sister island and greatly diminishing- the How. over the Horseshoe. Only the very. apex of ' the Canadian falls is left, and that Jsrobbed-Of half of its- flow. The gorge below is choked and the rapids have " lost' their fury, while the whirlpool is. barely in mo tion. This Is only the third time that this combination of wind and Ice has thus affected the falls since the white man came here. The other occasions were on March 29, ISIS, and March 2, 1903.

A FEW WORDS WITH THE LADY OF THE HOUSE "Where we fall in training women is, because up to the present, until this horriA economics movement came about, we nave, trained women on men's courses. We have taught science par ticularly with allthe interesting.mate rial taken from man's side of life. I want a woman to have' as much, of an education as. a -man, but- I do think that she is going. to make a different use of her knowledge, -and .we should give her, the things that she-will need most. I think her training wjll be dif ferent, and this \u25a0movement is going to give to woman a scientific training in the- way most ':useful. .

The curtain, raises this week at the American on the most, explanatory, comic opera variety of obvious dialogue that ever cumbered a legitimate com edy plot and wearied an audience; but at the drop of^ the first 'curtain on "Who's Your Frfiend?" there appears a rainbow of hope, and the subsequent events prove it was not hung out by false Weather: Prophet McAdie. The second and third acts of Harry Beres ford's comedy are as bright ' as the day after a two weeks' storm. The company supporting the, odd comedian is not -good. 'It might be much better, than it is and still lag considerably behind the talents of the star. We are, with Manager- Conn of the .American theater, Managers Soand So of the other theaters, sorae whatat the mercy of the powers that notice our location on tlfe* map and send us shows. But the discrepancies of an indifferent cast do not hide the light of Beresford's homely humor and the persuasiveness of his fine art. Be sides he has with him. Miss Jane Fer rell, who plays an important role when the good part of the comedy commences — in the second act— and she atones for much. So does ltoaie (Miss Grayce Beebe), who is no posie, but a substan tial stand of femininity figuring heav ily in the scale of the N company's weight. : •\u25a0\u25a0 Beresford comes to -San Francisco after seVen years or so, and this time hRS a- fantastic comedy which-. is fre querjtly farcical in its ipethods. but. in his hands, always amusing. There are laughs to a line in the second act, and a s_cene or two which make the eye glisten and the 'heart beat. He is an old inventor, in the midst of much trouble. His enemies close in about him, steal his inventions, rdb.him of his reputation and would ruin the life of his adored daughter. The old man, beside^himself, thinks he is making a compact with the devil, a la Faust, and signs his immortal soul over to a capi talist whom he takes for Mephlsto, but who renlly Is his friend. Then follow the complications wherein the inventor believes that his good fortune, new fur niture, credit in the bank and other desirable things are the gifts of his soul's owner until the truth comes out in. the third act with much amusement and amazement to poor old Daniel Hake. \u25a0 ; " ' \u25a0 The comedy Is refreshing and fine, and is an\attractive entertainment.. The weak members of the company ; have, luckily, little chance' to ruin the play, for Beresford is on the stage almost all the Ume and is full of dry, unctious .wit and wholesome humor. He is an artist. Miss Jane Ferrell as Fay, the supposed daughter of the devil, is in crutable and fascinating and a true daughter of Eve — being good and Ring.

I have nothing to say against the sketch because it was not. As to the fight, I am not competent to judge, not having seen more than four, one of which I was in and so missed the best points. "The Sound. of the Gong" is the "loud noise" at the Orpheum this week, and it was very popular last night. The gallery liked It hugely and yelled loudly for! Eddie Graney. to • add his bows to those of the; small cast at the end of the engagement, but Eddie," who had been pulled onto the stage to make the ring scene' realistic, -forebore to bow* >and so detracted from what might otherwise have been a complete suc cess. ,-" AValter Jameson . wants to get mar ried. So does Alice Cameron. He is only a poor college boy with two suits of clothes, a vast yearning ' for Alice and a college \u25a0 yell. Alice yearns and has. much money. Father tells him to get $5,000 and Walter goes after Kid Kennedy. The Kid is a professional "pug." while Walter is only an ama teur. But he has been a "good kid" at college and he needs the money. The day of the fight arrives and the cur tain goes up In his training quarters, with "Skeeter" at* his side. Walter saya he's afraid he's going to lose. "Skeeter" tells him: "Xot so," in fine prize grammar. Then the girl comes in. She begs Walter not to fight and tells him he'll sure get killed. But Walter will fight and does. He , goes out and -leaves the girl to watch the scrap, which the audience, likewise, is in on.' -The boys- mix it viciously, while the, girl, hidden from the sight of the ringside multitude of supers, yells her self hoarse for her x boy, who is knocked down many times. Finally. he wins. The^flghting blood surges sweetly in his ingenue sweetheart's veins and she reminds you of the antics of other ladies you may or may not have seen at ringside. It is not very pretty nor very elevating and nearly comes, to a bad- finish because, it seems, Walter was so seared that he nearly killed his man. fie- overdid. • Danger of prison Is finally averted by the Kid's considerate recovery and the act ends with the pretty girl in her Walter's arms while the gallery cheers for Eddie Graney. As a fight it wasn't a success, because it was a fake, , and as a playlet — well it isn't called that. The program says it is a "Prize ring episode." The Amoros sisters are a clever team of dislocators and tumblers. They are jugglers and dancers, too, and ona does a challenge feat which consists of throwing her anatomical articulation inside out and tying herself up in pain fully graceful postures.Vlniro Fox j s a clever juggler with some new tricks and old,' and a pleasant chattery way of exhibiting themi Tony Wilson and Mile. Heloise open the program with some acrqbatic stunts which are well, exe cuted and graceful; Adele and Freddie Astaire, midget singers, and dancers, are pretty entertainers and walk amaz ingly on their toes while," It seems to me, they might better be at school; Israel Zangwljl'ft "Never, Never Land" remains the thrilling and the best act on the program — from my -\u25a0 point of view — and the Farrell-Taylor company- Is still amusing in its monumental non sense called "That Minstrel Man." Leon T. Rogefi's whistling was loudly, en cored last' night for the best of Its kind heard at the Orpheum. .' LIGHTNING ' AIDS JAlLßßEAK— ."prinkfleld. Mo..

PRICES RISE WHEN RUMORS COLLAPSE Bears Cover Snorts Upon Dissi pation of Belief Prevailing of Certain Conditions \u25a0•\u25a0'\u25a0 *"~"™~™ NEW YORK, Feb. 14. — The semi stagnant stock market of last week reflected the growing torpor of the speculative spirit and the determina tion to await the clearer outlines of the business future. Such strength as last week's market showed was attributed largely to the demand from the bears to cover up the short com mitments made the week before on the supposition that a ptnch In the money market might follow the heavy deple tion of the cash reserves of the clear ing house banks, and also that the American-Japanese agitation in Cali fornia might afford a subject for dis turbance of the markets. BEARS COVER MIOHTS As these suppositions were shown to be groundless the brars covered their shorts and prices rose. The transfer of cash from the clearing house banks to the trust companies' vaults was known to strengthen the real position and credits were accorded with correspond ing freedom, although the demand for credits is meager, with prospect of con tinuance of this condition until more active trade shall develop. Th« fiscal operations of the government offer the only likely source of disturbance. As for the Japanese question the rise In Japa nese government bonds day after day while tl|e discussion was Irl progress was taken as the truer Index of the situation by the financial world. The finar action of the California legisla ture will be accepted as full confirma tion of this opinion. Foreign Influ ences were also distinctly encouraging. The clearing of the foreign money market situation relieved the New York market of a. moderate source of pressure of liquidation of foreign holdings of American securities. METAI, MARKET COXDITIOXS The iron and steel business is as serted by the leading trade authorities to be living in part on orders taken in in November and December. Orders are held up pending the adoption of the revised duties on imports. The same complaint calls for many other mercantile lines. Kstlmates of reflned copper on hand published by the new ly organized copper producers' associa tion showed a less formidable surplus than rumors had Indicated, but the Jap uary production was shown to be 22,000,000 pounds in excess of dcliv-> cries and the stocks In smelter hands were said not to be included In the estimate and to be very large.
