B. Her Delivers Gettysburg Address; Patriotic Program Given at Chautauqua. Memorial day was observed in Cottage Grove, as usual, but there seemed to be something lacking in interest. The boys of Company D led the parade in the forenoon to the cemetery, where the G. A. R. boys held their exercises. For the first time in many years, Lincoln’s Gettysburg address was given by one uot a member of the post, Rev. H. B. Iler being the one hon ored.

W. Buckley, formerly of this city but now n resident of Port land, who writes: “Life is short some of its pleasures when The Sentinel does not arrive.’’ Chautauqua Is Going Over Big; the Program Proves Most Splendid Yet With two days yet remaining of the Chautauqua session, the genertfl concensus of opinion is that the city has had a week of the greatest entertainment ever brought here. The attendance and interest has been remarkable considering the in clemency of the weather and the signers of the contract will have but a small deficit to make up, probably none at all. The Patton brothers, who opened the session with an afternoon pre lude and a complete evening musical entertainment are well adapted to the purpose of getting things going. They are well placed as leaders in a program that has proved nrtire varied and better balanced than any program before presented by Elli son White, Lowell Patton, pianist, has appeared here twice before and the impression he made upon those former occasions assured his com pany a most hearty reception. The other members of the company are Gault and Donald and the home of the three is in Portland. Their programs are given in cos tumes that add greatly to a pro gram that would be enjoyable with out costumes but is a distinct hit with them. Of all the different sort of entertainment the Pattons seem to be among the top Hoteliers. The Patton brothers worked un der difficulties, as rain drizzled through the tent onto the stage during the first night’s perform ance. The audience, which filled the tent, was well enough pleased to stay the performance through despite the fact that umbrellas were a convenience and part of the ground inside the tent a sea of mud. The Pattons also assist in putting on the lunar circus at the first day’s afternoon performance. This also is something quite different, requiring the aid of a large number of the young people of the commu nity who take the part of animals. This is carried out in an ongiual way. Myrtle McCoy, ring master, has a pleasingly severe manner in handling the “brutes” and none attempted to disobey. The Ixiwis concert party gave a pleasing entertainment Tuesday af ternoon and a pleasing prelude Tues uay evening. Lovers of vocal music fort that they had a treat in Mr. Lewis, tenor, and lovers of dram atics were greatly pleased with the efforts of Nell Adams, reader. the two great English speaking races in leading the world, a task for which they are equipped men tally as no other nations are.

Liberty is not license. ’ ’ She preached another sermon upon the necessity of law and order, another upon the rights and duties of children and rights and duties of parents. “Children have the right to be well born, which means doing away with the double standard of morals.
