L, D. S. VETERAN GIVEN FARE
WELL PARTY.
Trof. 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 Try it and see one application will

James S. Ferguson, Phua., Pa. writes:
"I have had wonderful relief since I
used Sloan's Liniment on my knees.
To think after all these years of pain
one application gave me relief. Many
thanks for what your remedy has
done for me." Don't keep on suffer
ing, apply Sloan s Liniment where
your pain is and notice how quickly
you get relief. Penetrates without

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 30. Fif
teen thousand grizzled fighters of f,he
Civil War marched over the down
town section today in the annual
Grand Army of the Republic parade.
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.
