LOCAL EYEST8.
Til Muiicam A BoccaH.'Tn
delightful musical at the Congre
gational church last renin was
success from every point ol view. A
good-humored audience gathered early
fully expecting the treat in store for
them. The program opened with a
plan) aolo by Mrs W. C. Durrette, who
showed with her skill upon
the keys that she had spent years
of study lindur the bert inHtructors.
The "Slumber Kong." by little Miss
Ethel Albright was a pluasing Introduc
tion to tlia prouram to fjllow. Tho
contralto sob "Ah ! Stwtlnto," by Mrs.
A. G. C'olomnti, from Portland, was
warmly encored. As a soloist and vocal
instructor Mrs, Coleman ranks very high
both In Portland and Salem. "My
Bonnie is Uver tho Ocean," by little
Riva Gray was the joyous song of a
child and had a happy effect. The
Shakesperiau reading by Professor
Durrette and Mr. C. H. Dye was by far
the best dramatic rendering of the
quarrel of Bi utus and Cassius that has
been given here for some time. Miss
Spangler's piano solo, "Chanson
D 'Amour," was a revelation in the line
o f delicate touch. A large number of
the audience were delighted to greet
J. W. Myers, the bass soloist of Port
land, who is an old Oregon City boy,
Mr. Myers is still a student devoting
himself assiduously to vocal culture.
Mrs. Will Glafke, of Portland, has sung
before in Oregon City and her many ad
mirers were glnd to note the increasing
beauty and volume of her voice. The
really choice program closed with one of
the heart touching aolos of Mrs. E. E.
Charman, the timbre of whose voice
was especially adapted to the sad s.veet
song, "For the Sake of the Past.'
Altai the musical part of the program
the itaudy bazaar attracted the attention
ol the audience. There were three
booihs. One, under the supervision of
.Mimes Marjoritt and Ethel Caufleld,
K ite Ward and Ina Chase, sold their
exquisitely-flavored cream candies in a
few minutes; another conducted by
Misses May Wishart, Antoinette Walden
and Helen Eastham, sold their famous
species of candy in short order; and
another by Miss Elma Albright, who
sold sparkling lemonade; Miss Clara
Warner, who placed on sale various
delicate tissue paper flowers and Miss
Betta Fouts, who artistically arrang ed
buttonhole boqiiets for the' fastidious.
Credit is due Mrs. MsAdanH for
assisting the young ladies in making the
confections. The ladies of the Con'
gregationai church well sustained their
reputation as entertainers. The total
receipts were something over $65.
Mahara's Minstrels. v hen you
want down-right, good, wholesome fun,
of tho sort that is adapted to the feelings
and understanding of mothers, daugh
ters, and young children alike, where
can you find abetter article then that
furnished by a tirst-class minstrel en
tertainment ? And when the performers
are children of the Sunny South, where
music, mimicry, and humor seem to be
imbibed spontaneously by our colored
friends, it becomes all the more enjoy'
able. Mr. Mahara's Company consist
ing entirely of colored artists drew a
good audience at the opera house last
night, and gained the friendship as well
as the appreciation of every one present
by their faithful efforts in holding to
hst standards of ministrelsy. The
orchestration and solo instrumental
pioces and the quartette singing of the
opening reminded one of the good old
days, and the specialties, the dan cing
and funny work were the best that
Rochester has seen in many a day. We
congratulate Mr. Mahara on having
such an excellent company, -and wish
for htm and them a very prosperous
season Rochester (Minn.) Weekly.
They will appear at Snivelson Friday.
Thb UltBAT Lncohoskb. Mr. Andrew
Pnton, of Danvers, Mass., great

party, will vi'-it Oregon next month.
He is at the head of the order in Ameri
ca, and is making an extended tour

viving interest in the order wherever he
goes. His attention was attracted
Oregonward by the Red Men's day at
the exposition, and he desires to visit
this reservation, and see the member
ship in Oregon. The party will reach
Portland, says Mr.Newhall, great senior
sagamore of the Orenon reservation,
about December 20 or 30. Committees

incohonee in proper style. Already one
plan is for a trip to Oiegon City by the
Portland savages and grand illunrnation
of the falls . Wacheno tribe, of Oregon
