' There are 63 pupils now in the class. ,rrowth ot 60 In compliance with a request from the National Woman's Relief Corps, the ladies of the Oregon City corps have undertaken to contribute their share to ward preserving the historic prison grounds at Andertonvllle and making of them a national park. To aid them in raising money for this purpose the ladies gave an entertainment at Willamette hall Wednesday evening, which was well attended and which yielded them a a handsome sum. The exercises were under the direction of Mrs. G. W, Stafford, vica-president of the corps, who acted in the absence of Mrs. T. Miller, the president. The first number was tha' grand patriotic song, "The Prisoner's Hope" rendered by Mrs. J. Luis, the audience joining in on the chorus. Mrs. F. L Cochrane then gave an ad dress in which she stated that the grand old song just sung did not have the meaning now that it did in the bitter days of the 'CO's when it came as the wail of a dying soldier boy in a South ern prison It then touehc the heart as none now can feel . She gave a brief sketch ot the horrors that were endured by the Union soldiers confined in Amler sonville, and which caused the death of 13,000 of I hem in a little over a year. Of the bitterness engendered by the war, and which extended to the women and even the children, she was happy to know that it was now a thing of the past and she hoped the boys and girls of to day would never have to undergo the horrors and heartaches endured by the men and women who saved (his nation. Her address was deeply interesting and was listened to with the closest atten tion. The Halcyon chorus under the direc tion of Mrs. E. E. Charman, then gave a selection which was rendered in fine shape and the applause was such that the ladies had to favor the audience with a second piece. There were 18 singers in the chorus and they acquitted themselves in a manner that reflected much credit upon their director. Why the Andersonville prison grounds should be preserved was then explained by Mrs. G. W. Stafford. Of Anderson ville she said : "It is one of the greatest object lessons in patriotism left to na by the war of the rebellion. Within its stockade died many a man who could have had freedom and life by giving allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, but who braved death rathei than dis honor his name and betray his country. It, with the great battle fields, should be preserved to keep in memory the deeds of bravery that gave liberty and peace to this great nation. Ethel Albright and Veda Williams gave a duet which evoked a hearty encore, but the young Misses could not be induced to respond Commander M. L. Moore, of Meade Post than gave a reminiscence sketch of the work the women did in the late war to relieve the suffering of the sick and wounded soldiers, paying a special tribute to the work of Mother Maty A. Bickerdyke. An instrumental duet by the Misses Draper so delighted the audience that they were recalled and in response gave a four-handed medley on the piano that was both pleasing and amusing. C. A. Miller was then called and gave one of his popular songs and in response to an encore gave a song medley which fairly brought down the house and with it another encore so persistent that he bad to give another song. A historical sketch of Andersonville prison was then read by Mrs. Henry Meldrum concluding with a description of the grounds as they now appear. Her article was highly interesting and given merited-attention Mr. V. Harris then favored the audi ence with one of his splendid bass solos which was so well appreciated that he was recalled for another. The Halcyon chorus gave a selection and a response in answer to a hearty encore. The "Red, White and Blue" was then sung by Mrs. J. II. Strickler, the au dience joining in the chorus. Such was the spirit and power in wh ich she sang this best of all our national songs that she was honored with an encore to which their was no declining. She gave "The Star Spangled Banner" as her finale, rendering it in a most inspiring manner, In closing the program Mrs. Stafford thanked those who had assisted in the exercises and the audience for their presence and liberal aid to the corps in their present undertaking. Resolved, That an occasional war necessary to keep up and maintain the patriotism and manhood ot a people, Messrs. Fred Melmlte, Tom Myers and Edgar Meresse spoke In favor of tl affirmative while Messrs. Secor and Kahcock ably defended the negative, Miss Daisy Camttiera then recited a flue gem of poetical brilliancy. Geo. Swaf ford in the reading of his essay proved himself to be a profound and able rlie torieian. A cordial Invitation to tli Hesperian society from the McLouglili Chautauqua circle was responded to by the former club and accordingly attended in a body the meeting of the Chautau quans at Mr. C. 11. Dye's palatial rvsl dence. It was a rare treat to the lies perians and set many of them to think ing about that most invsterious and complicated of all sciences, astromony They listened to the discussion of the solar system with wrapt attention and gained much new knowledge from their visit.

Last Friday was one of the mile stones in the literary life of Hesperian society. Geo. Swafford, the able president sat in the magistral chair and after the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting by the secretary, Miss Ruby Logan, the following program was rendered : A well selected and well delivered recitation by Miss Orpha Cosper. A much appreciated declamation by Harry Shaner. Misses Blhum and Holleiibeck then sang an impersonated and humor ous duet which was remarkably well delivered and greeted with deserved applause. Chas. Criswell read a satirical and pungent reading which was also well rendered. The embryo oratorical phalanx exhibited their wit and argu meotiye abilities upon the subject; St. Patrick's Ball. The evening of the 1 7n promises to be one of the events of the season when a grand ball will be given in Columbia hall to celebrate the event, and with its up-to-date decorations and first-class music. The Giesy Juvenile orchestra, (extra line) will render the music which alone will insure a very large crowd as the little fellows have no equal in the slate. First class order will In) maintained and the genial Chris Zeigler will act as caller, The club room adjoining the hall has been secureJ, where dainty refreshments will be served to the content of all. The popular price of (Illy cents will be charged for dance numbers, and it is expected that one of the largest crowds everassemled in Barlow will be in attend ance to this null. Stork Bi'ILDino Lkaskd. Messrs, George B. Fox A Co. formerly of Molalla, have leased from Win. Barlow the store buildings on the corner of First and Main streets for three years, and will open up, on or about March loth or 18th. They have already received some goods, but before opening they prefer to have everything in first-class shape to show to their customers an inviting aspect. Messrs. Fox A Co. are wide-awake business men and have made many warm friends throughout the country and with their push and energy they will uo doubt procure a large patronage from this and surround ing country and bring with them a good share of their old trade from Mulalla. His Anni'al Call. Mr. William Partlow one of Oregon City's influential and prominent citizens, paid his annual call al the Barlow residence on the 8th, that being his 00th birthday. For the past ten years Mr. Partlow has been celebrating his birthday here, and the day is usually spent in merriment. Mr. Partlow looks as young as he did 20 years ago and is full of congeniality. Ckkamkry will Pkouauly Start. At the last meeting of the directors of the creamery association, communications were read with propositions to rent the creamery building. The secretary was ordered to correspond with the parties, offering them a good layout for the open ing of the creamery, which no doubt will be accepted. Athlktiu Club. The young ladies athletic club is constantly adding new members, and the marked improvement of some of the young ladies in their acrobatic feats is phenomenal. It is hoped, in the near future, we may have an opportunity of witnessing a perform ance by the fair ones. An Oregon City Htndeut.
