Portland Audience Welcomes
Singers With a Remark
able Demonstration.
HALL FILLED TO DOORS
Two Hundred Visitors GIvo Concert
at Exposition That Shows the
Chorus to Be One of
' Country's .Best.
Nobody can accuse Portland musical
audloncos of being cold after the remark
able demonstration accorded last night
to the 200-odd members of the Mormon
Tabernacle Choir, of Ogden. Utah, ucder
the direction of Joseph Ballnntyne. No
sooner had the last rich chord of "The
Soldiers' Chorus." from Gounod'
Faust." rung through the Festival Hall,
Exposition, than "the choir worship be
gan. Every number was encored several
times, but no responses were made. Mr.
Ballantyne and the two soloists contented
themselves with bowing their acknowl
edgments. The hall was filled to the
doors, and, although this Is a vacation
season, there were many Portland musi
cians, especially choir singer, present.
Naturally, most of the interest centered
in the choir. It Is the largest and best
west of the grea venters of population
in the Middle States, and for tone, qual
ity, intelligence and attack it can hold its
own with the best Eastern choruses.
What it can do in a la capelbt or unac
companied work is not known; therefore
one cannot contrast tho work with that
of such choirs as those of Leslie of Lon
don. Buck of Brooklyn. N. Y., Vogt of
Toronto, Canada, and one or two more.
But the Ogden choir sings witb an en
thuslasm and Aoulfulness that leaves very

little to be desired, and the attention to
marks of expression and absolute pitch
are very creditable.
All the sopranos and contraltos com
prising the majority; of the choir were
. dressed In whit?, with the Utah ribbons
! fluttering from their breasts, while the
tenors and bapes wore business suits.
None of the singers are paid all are vol
unteers. Twenty-Jive years ago this choir
started. 20 years or so after that of Salt
Lake City, but of course the personnel
! of the choir has changed as to member-
snip. The tone Is well balanced, except
that there ought to be more bass to off
set the strong soprano section. The
latter excelled last night in "The Soldiers'
Chorus" from "Faust." and attacked the
nigh notes above the staff with success,
but the pitch was Just a trifle high for
probably two out of three voices. Ballan
tyne's chorus. "O Lord in Thee." is a
dignified bit of writing. The Uneers were
I at home in the Dudley Buck psalm. The
j "Innanunatus" was well sung.
iilbw Emma Lucy Gates, the soloist. Is
a granddaughter of Brighara Young, and
is a soprano coloratura, with a dramatic
quality that Is rare in such a voice. The j
hliici is fMemmni in quniiiy. ine compass
being from low B fl to E in altl&simo.
Her phrasing and emission of tone is very
good. Miss Gates will be heard of In a
larger circle before long. The violin solo
ist, Wlllard E. Wolhe. played with a
charming tone, and showed technical skill
of a high order. The accompanist was
John J. McCleiian, organist of the Mor
mon Tabernacle, of Salt Lake City, and
his work Is admirable. The conductor,
Mr. Ballantyne. has had charge of the
choir for seven years, and deserves credit
for bringing it to such a high standard of
efficiency.
The choir gives its lat concert tonight
in Festival Hall, when an entirely new
programme will be presented. It Is hoped
that the famous "Irrigation Ode" will be
repeated on this occasion, by request. To
hear this chorus is a valuable lesion in
singin;. and the opportunity should be
fully taken advantage of.

Great Ovation.
YESTERDAY'S ADMISSIONS, 19,639.
The admission department reported
last night that the attendance at the
Exposition yesterday was 10.(130. The
dally attendance for this week, with
the exception of Sunday, is expected
to average sot less than 10,000.
Colorado day began with a disap
pointment at the Lewis and Clark Ex
position, but at the last moment Dame
Fortune smiled down upon the strenu
ous Coloradoans and they pulled
through their celebration with laurels
all about their brows.
Governor Jesse F. McDonald, of Col
orado, was due to arivc in Portland
yesterday morning, but In the after
noon at 2 o'clock, the" time set for the
beginning of the exercisos, several hun
dred eager miners and irrigators as
sembled in the pavilion annex of tho
New York building with despair written
on evory countenance, as the appear
ance of their long-looked for chief
executive was still In the atngo of un
certainty. However the Colorndoltes did not lie
down and surrendor to the seemingly
inevitable, but went right ahead with
the exorcises. Colonel A. W. Hogle, of
the Colorado Commission, who presid
ed, opened tho exercises with a few
Introductory remarks. Ke was followed
by Gilbert McClurg. ex-secretary of tho
Colorado Springs Chamber of Com
merce. Mrs. McClurg and E. B. Light.
American Consul to Mexico for the last
ten years.
Governor McDonald Arrives.
About 3 o'clock there was a shuffling
of feet, which seemed strangely fa
miliar to the Coloradoites, as they are
all more or less alike, and a party of
travel-stained and worried men burst
Into the room. When they saw that
they wore in time, their faces lighted
up with unmistakable signs of relief.
Governor McDonald was Jn the lead. Ho
had hardly crossed the threshold be
fore there was an outburst of heavy
and prolonged applause froth the Colo
radoites who had waited so faithfully
for their Governor. Governor McDonald
made a very brief talk. He said the
people or Colorado were extremely
modest considering the state In which
they lived, as they only claimed to
have the best of everything. He said
he was not in position to express an
able opinion on the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, as he had been hurried
through the grounds to the pavilion at
the rate of an express train, but from
what little he had seen of It, It was the
best ever. He politely excused himself
from making a long oration, saying
that Coloradoites were nearly all
blessed with tremendous appetites, and
he was feeling that way himself, as he
had not eaten any dinner, so anxious
had he boon to fulfill his engagement.
Congressman H. M. Hogg, of Colo
rado, stepped upon the platform with
the remark that he also belonged to
the "great unwashed." He said that the
people of Colorado did not say much
but did things. To prove the strength
of his remark, he said that Governor
McDonald, the third Governor of-Colorado
in about 30 minutes, was an ex
ample. Another speaker was Frank C
Goudy. a prominent Denver attorney,
who several years ago was candidate
for the Gubernatorial chair on the Re
publican ticket. He Is now a Senato
rial possibility. His address was re
plete witn many bright and pleasing
Incidents of the humorous side of the
Colorado life. Following the -exerciser
Governor McDonald. CongrossmanIogg
and the other speakers, stood in the
receiving line and shook the hands of
hundreds of people.
Punch and wafers were served from
two tables in the pavilion. Mrs. A. W.
Hogle presided as hostess. She was as
sisted by Mrs. John T. Burns. Mrs.
Jlobert Willets. Mr?. George Snyder, Mrs.
Jessie Hussey and Mrs. Adelia Scott, of
ficial nostess for the Idaho building at
.the Exposition.
The official party from Colorado was
composed of Governor and Mrs. Mc
Donald, Mrs. Curthi. a sister of Mrs.
McDonald. Representative Hogg. State
Senator Barela. State Treasurer Holm
berg. Commissioner E. L White, Adjutant-General
Bulkeley Wells, Inspector
General S. B. Seholz. The party will
remain at the Exposition for several
days.
Banquet at Night.
Governor and Mrs. Jesse V. Mcnnnnlri
of Colorado, were tendered a brilliant
banquet at the New York building last
nignt. jt was generally conceded to be
one of the most delightful affairs of the
season bv ail those nresent- Thnr
about 50 guests, including Governor and
jars. .Pardee, of California. The banquet
tables were unusually handsomely and
lavishly decorated with roses and other
bowers. One of the fentures of tho ban.
quet was the singing of the Ogden, Utah,
-Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which went
to the New York building after the con
cert in the Auditorium.

GORED BY CUTICURA
I have been afflict cd for twenty years with aa
obstinate skin disease, called by some M. D"s.
Psoriasis, and others Leprosy, commence
ing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do,
witb the help of the most skilful doctors, it
slowly but surely extended until a year ago
this winter it covered my entire person in the
form of dry scales. For the last three years
I have been unable to do any labor, and suf
fering intensely all the time. Every morning
there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales
taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them
half as large a4 the envelope containing this
letter. In the latter part of winter my slda
commenced cracking open. I tried every
thing, almost, that conld be thought of, with
out any relief. The Mth of June I started
West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs.
I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I
should have to go to the hospital, but finally
got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a
sister living. One Dr. treated me about
two weets, but did me no good. All thought
I had but a short time to live. I earnestly
prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all
over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands,
limbs ; feet badly swollen ; toe-nails came off ;
finger-nails dead and hard as a bone; hair
dead, dry, and lifeless as old straw. O my
God how I did suffer.
My sister, Mrs. E. H. Davis, had a small
part of a box of Cuticnra in the hoti3e. She
wouldn't give up; said, "We will try Cuti
cnra." Some was applied on one hand and
arm. Eureka ! there was relief ; stopped the
terrible burning sensation from the word go.
They immediately got Cuticura Resolvent,
Ointment, and Soap. I commenced by taking
one tablespoonful of Cuticura Resolvent three
times a day after meals ; had & bath once a
day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura
Soap freely ; applied Cuticura Ointment morn
ing and evening. Result: returned to my
home in just six weeks from the time I left,
