REAL TIM
The largest and most brilliant af
fair of the season was the evening
meeting of the Lyle Tuesday Musicale
given at their parlors last evening,
under the able direction of Mesdames
H. McDonald and T. J. Scrogglns. The
parlors were filled to overflowing,
many being unable to gain admit
tance. The rooms were brilliantly
lighted with many candles In silver
chandlebra, and Jardlnlers of the
fragrant sacred lily occupied positions
of vantage. A few minutes past I the
ladles chorus, under the direction of
Mrs. Sllverthorn, took their position
on the stage and rendered two beauti
ful selections, "Cobwebs," by Gerrlt,
and Schumann's celebrated "Miller's
Song." The program consisted fur
ther of the following numbers. We
will not attejnpt to describe them, as
each number was a gem of Its kind,
and all received hearty encores:
a "Cobwebs." '. Gerrlt Smith
b "The Miller," ... Schubert
Mrs. O. E. Sllverthorn, Dir.
The special services In ' Central
Church of Christ go on with great in
terest.. Last evening Mr. McSparran
spoke on "Danger Lines." He spoke
of the danger of- boys and girls spend
ing their evenings upon the streets.
Many La Grande parents might well
profit by the warnings given. The
danger of covetousness, the worship
of wealth was clearly shown. Speak
ing of the evil influences of the sa
loon, the speaker made some state-
ments which ought to arouse the
drowsy "friends"' of reform.

their share of attention. The fact
that about 85 per cent of fallen wom-
-en trace their ruin back to the waits
should warn mothers.
Dancing and card playing church
members have no power to win souls.
People who will unite with the
church on the heels of such a sermon

and yet be counted Christians. Before
the meeting closed six came forward
to take a stand for the right.
This evening a number are to be
baptized. Meetings are announced for
this, Thursday and Friday evenings,
and it seems likely that the services
will continue over Sunday.
