Stephens' Long Connection with Salt Lake Choir Ends. v The Salt Lake L. D. S. choir a few lays ago gave an elaborate party in honor of the veteran leader of that choir, who is well known to a large number of La Grande people. Of the event a recent issue of the Deseret News says: Prof. Evan Stephens has been the recipient of many wholesouled trib utes of esteem and affection since he retired from the management of the Salt iLake tabernacle choir, but none has exceeded that tendered him at his own home last evening, when in re sponse to his invitation from 500 to GOO of his singers assembled to par take of his hospitality. The beautiful grounds were ablaze with electricity and an electric arch over the front en trance bearing the word "Welcome" was the first thing that met the ar riving visitors who came in such num bers that the parked automobiles sur rounded two sides of the capacious grounds. Prof. Stephens's home was illuminated from top to bottom, but the exercises took place in the electric lighted veranda outside. An extensive musical program was given. The entire company sang one of Prof. Stephen's compositions, "Let the Mountains Shout for Joy,' after which the male quartet from Garfield sang "Juanita" and "Go Ask Papa." The "A'Capella chorus" sang "Roses and Lillies," another of Stephens's compositions, and "The Bells of Aber dovey." Surviving members of the original Harmony Glee club, organ ized 25 years ago, sang "I stood on the Bridge at Midnight," "Breezes of the Night" and "The Soldier's Fare well." The Schubert male quartet sang "Sweet and Low," following which the Hand opera chorus sang "The Rosary," and also "Sweet and Low." 1 Thanks Chorus Members. At the conclusion of the program, Prof. Stephens was called upon by his guests to make a few remarks. He said: "I wish to thank this choir for its labors of the past and I deem this an opportune time to have a family re union, because the choir has been a family to me as I have had none of my own. I have no complaint to make. I will hereafter devote my time to writing music to give to the world. It would be hard for anyone to say, after an association of so many years, that it did not make it hard to part. I appreciate tha labors of the choir in the past, although they were not regular on account of so many numerous duties. I wish all success to the new organization. I am glad that I never felt it in my heart that any man or woman was too old, after faithful service, to have a seat in the organization." President C. W. Penrose responded, speaking briefly in behalf of the First Presidency, telling of the high regard in which the former choir conductor Jews Eagerly Await Lifting of Pale by Russia New York, Aug. 26. The announce ment in a press despatch yesterday from Petrograd that a bill will be introduced in the Imperial Duna, when that 'body convenes in Novem ber, to abolish the Pale, and give the Jews the same rights ,as other sub jects in Russia, was received with a great deal of interest in New York by men prominent in the fight for the freedom of their race in that country. When the attention of Herman Bernstein, well-known Jewish editor and writer, was called to the de spatch from the Russian capital he said: "The news is highly interesting. It may be that the influence of the allies will carry weight and offset the machinations of the reactionaries, whose anti-Semitism is well known. Russia would help in solving the Jewish question and help in reform ing the great lMtipire, which has a bright future before it if the na tionalities be permitted to develop upon terms of liberty, equality and progress." Louis Lipsky, chairman of the executive committee of the Zionist Federation, said he did not believe such a bill would ever become a law unless it was backed by the Russian government. j "If the Russian government," said Mr. Lipsky, "announces that it was i going to take steps to abolish the Pale, it would warrant the attention movement in Russia tending to give i the Jews equal rights. i Will Sloan's Liniment Relieve Pain? i Try it and see one application will prove more tihan a column of claims.

With a score of fife and drum corps beating time and brass bands playing national airs, the gray haired veterans moved slowly over the line which included many hills. The streets were thronged with spectators who cheered each state contingent as it passed and the veter ans doffed their hats and saluted al most continuously. W. F. Calhoun, commander of the Department of Illinois, and his state organization headed the procession, followed by the Wisconsin and Penn sylvania Departments. The Ohio and New York veterans were next in line. Then followed the Southern and West ern departments. Missouri brought up the rear. As the parade swung in to Main street there were many strag glers but they fought on bravely to pass in review before their commander-in-chief, Elias R. Manfort of Cin cinnati, and his sfaff and state and citv officials who occupied the re viewing stand.
