by good head notes, and remarkable In
terpretation for so young a glrL She
will grow to be one of Portland's lead
ing slnircrs some day. The accompani
ments were good.
The next attraction In tho scries of con
certs under the management of Miss Lois
Steers, of this city, will be Mademoiselle
Zelle de Lussan. dramatic soprano; who
will sing here February 21. Zelle de Lus
san Is one of the stars of the famous
Metropolitan Opera Company, of New
York, and an artist of the highest rank
both In this country and In Europe. Sho
Is sometimes called "The Queen's Own,"
because of the fact that within the mu
sical season of 1SS3-90 she received tho
unusual honor of being commanded to
sing on three different occasions before
the late Queen Victoria. 'She Is a singer,
also, of charming personality. She has
done especially good work In three
operas: "The Daughter of the Regi
ment." "Fra DIavolo" and "Carmen."
An enjoyable musical recital by SIgnor
Giuseppe Ferrari's pupils was given at his
etudlo, last Tuesday night, and was large
ly attended. The concert-room was pret
tily decorated with Oregon grape, and
flowers, and the large! window was draped
with an American and an Italian flag. Tho
numbers given were: Piano solo, selected.

pianist and accompanist. Miss Tappen
dorff, Is only IE years old. and she played
excellently. Herbert "Wilson, tenor: Er
mine Hubbard, contralto, and Sadie Ward,
soprano, showed marked progress In their
singing, and their Interpretation was
creditable. It was a pleasure to hear tho
Italian method of using tho voice In
song illustrated.
Tuesday night the Boyer chorus will be
heard at Taylor-Street Methodist Church
In Gade's sacred cantata, "Christmas,"
and selections from Handel's "Messiah."
The chorus will number G3 selected voices,
with an orchestra of 25 pieces, under
the leadership of W. II. Boyer. In tho
cantata, "Christmas," most of the work
falls to the contralto soloist, Mrs. Walter
Reed. In the "Messiah" selections the
soloists are: Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer, so
prano: H. W. Hogue. tenor, and Dr. W.
A. Cummlng. bass. There Is considerable
Interest to hear the interpretation given
by Mrs. Bloch-Bauer, one of the best
singers in Oregon, to the two difficult
solos, "Rejoice Greatly" and "I Know
That My Redeemer Llveth." The last
chorus will be the famous "Hallelujah,"
known all the world over. In all recog
nized music centers, when the "Halle
lujah" chorus in sung, audiences stand
of their own accord. It is to be hoped
that tho church will be well filled with
music-lovers willing to encourage the
venture of oratorio-singing In this com
munity. The Boyer chorus is one that
any city may well be proud of. Many
eolo singers sing in its ranks, from the
love of singing and the desire to keep in
practice. The organist "will be Edgar B.
Poursen.
TO PROTECT CHILD LIFE.
Strong Indorsement of Senntor
3Inrter' Fending Measure,
ROSEBURG, Or.. "Feb. B. (To the Edi
tor.) The introduction of a bill requiring
compulsory medical- aid to children, by
Senator Marsters, has stirred up consid
erable commotion in the Senate. The
commotion. is in the nature of opposition;
and this, too. In the proudest of all en
lightened ages, the 20th century! Legis
lators will burn the midnight oil (public
oil) drafting bills, and brewing oratory
for the protection of birds, beasts and
fishes, only to raise their hands- In holy
horror If -child life is to bo protected from
the ravages of' Ignorance and fanaticism.
Why do any of them oppose this bill? Is
It because It Is an Infringement of just
personal liberty? They say so. This
measure, however, is supported by the
same correct principles which underlie
compulsory education tho child's protec
tion and best equipment for the struggle
of existence. This measure is supported
by the same principles which underlie
our legislation for .prevention of cruelty
to animals ordinary mercy and humanity.
It rests upon those principles which make
negligence p. crime' in some cases tho laws
of love and humand brotherhood.
The "personal liberty" cry is worthy
only of the dark ages. It is only a me
dieval dodge. In some cases It voices
belief in the faith-heallng fad. Why do
the Legislators oppose this measure? Is
It because it denies to any their Just re
ligious liberty? They say 60. But notice.
This measure In no way interferes with
Just religious liberty. They may believe
anything or nothing, only their religious
liberty must not be made the pretext for
denying to their children tho right of
medical aid In case of sickness. The sick
chud is entitled to relief, from whatever
source it may come. Parents may resort
to nraver to reduce a broken-limb. If they
wish, but theji must also resort to suis
irenr. which the enugntenea world has
found to be effective In most cases. They
may give the credit for recovery to prayer
or surgery, just as they choose. Surgery,
is above miracle in these times, for sur-
.gery is within reach of most of us In
most cases, while miracle is not This is
falsa to the theory of the falth-healcr.
,nt it is true to facts as the enlightened
world flnds them. The wise Leclslator

HERE ARE RULES FOR LENT
archbishop cmusnn axnouxces
REGULATION'.
Pasting Season for Archdiocese of
Oregon Begins on Feb
ruary S3.
Archbishop Christie has issued the fol
lowing Lenten regulations for tho arch
diocese of Oregon. Lent begins Feb
ruary 25:
"L The use of flesh meat Is allowed at
every meal on Sundays, as well as the
principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays. Saturdays of
the Ember days and Holy Week excepted.
"2. The use of fish. milk, butter and
eggs Is permitted on all days of Lent at
the evening collation, and the principal
meals on those days on which the use of
flesh meat Is forbidden.
"3. In the morning a small piece of
bread Is allowed with a cup of coffee,
tea, chocolate or some similar drink.
"I. When the principal meal cannot be
taken before noon, the order may be In
verted and the collation taken In the
morning and the dinner in the evening.
"5. Lard and grease may be used in
preparing the lawful victuals.
"6. Those of the faith who are ex
empt from the obligations of fasting can.
on the days when the use of flesh meat
is permitted to all tho faithful, be, al
lowed to use It several times a day. as on
the Sundays of Lent, when the obligation
is not binding. The use of both flesh meat
.and flsh together at the same meal is
strictly forbidden during ,tbo whole of
Lent.
"The following persons are exempt from
fasting: All those who have not attained
their 21st year or who have passed their
60th year; those whoso weak health or
condition otherwise may demand the full
amount of nourishment, and all those
whose occupations are of a laborious and
exhausting nature.
"Those who are excused from fasting
on account of age or hard labor may use
flesh meat more than once on the days
on which It Is-allowed.
"By an indult of Our .Holy Father, Pius
IX. the soldiers and seamen in the United
States service have only six days of ab
stinence during the year, namely: Ash
Wednesday, the last three days of the
Holy Week, the vigil of tho Assumption
of the blessed Virgin Mary, the vigil of
Christmas. This dispensation does not
exempt from the law of fasting.
"By another indult of the 15th of March.
ISO, the Holy See lias given for 10 years
to the bishops of the United States the
faculty of dispensing In favor of the
working people from the law of abstinence
on certain days.
"By virtue of this Indult and dispensa
tion of Lent, working people are permitted
to use flesh meat once a day on all fast
and abstinence days of the year, except
Fridays, Ash Wednesday, Wednesday and
Saturday In Holy Week and tho vigil of
Christmas.
'The above dispensation is granted not
only to worklngmen and women, but alsa
to their entire families. t
"It Is eminently in accordance with the
spirit of the church that all those who
use the dispensations from the .fast and
abstinence should supply, in part, tho
spirit of penance by prayers and alms
deeds, by avoiding all public shows, par
ties and amusements and by abstaining
from all intoxicating beverages.
"The tlmo for making the Easter com
munion extends from the first Sunday in
Lent to Trinity Sunday, inclusive. All the
faithful are hereby warned that all those
who neglect to- make the Easter commu
nion violate a law of tho church which
binds under pain of mortal sin. The
transgressors of the Jaw are, moreover.
subject to excommunication, and, should
they die, to privation of Christian burial.
"Parents have to answer to God for
their children. Let them, therefore, re
member that they -are obliged In con
science io see inuv yjieir emmren ana
others under their charge receive Easter
communion.
"The reverend rectors are requested to
have special Lenten devotions on Wednes
days and Fridays. The exercises shall
consist of the beads. Instruction and ben
ediction on Wednesdays, and the way of
the cross and benediction on Fridays.
During the month of March the au
thorized prayer to St. Joseph will be re
cited after the usual prayers of the mass.
We also request the reverend clergy
to read to the people, In the vernacular,
the gospel or each day during Lent, and
that this be done at the holy mass every
morning.
The reverend pastors are reminded

the parish churches throughout the arch
diocese on tho first Sunday in Lent, and
in all the missions as soon afterward a3
possible; this collection to bo forwarded
to the chancery Immediately.
"With regard to the 40 hours' adoration,
we leave It to the discretion of tho rev
erend pastors to select any time during
the year that may seem to them most"
convenient.

to be read and explained to the people

Boston Evening Transcript,
No country has ever possessed two moro
remarkable women than Alice Freeman
Palmer and Alice Gordon Gulick, Amer
ican women who were rjchly endowed by
God, and who made unreserved consecra
tion of their powers to the highest service
of God and humanity. They were kindred
spirits in aid and purpose, and each re
joiced in the other's successes. Both fas
cinated all whom they met; each had a
broad conception of Jlfe In which for a
quarter of a century they have wrought
strenuously for the building of Christian
womanhood Into National life Mrs. Palm
er. In America, Mrs. Gulick In Spain.
Mrs. Palmer has gone from the toll and
stress of anxious burAen-bearing. and al
ready action Is being taken to make a me
