The accompani ments were good. The next attraction In tho scries of con certs under the management of Miss Lois Steers, of this city, will be Mademoiselle Zelle de Lussan. dramatic soprano; who will sing here February 21. Zelle de Lus san Is one of the stars of the famous Metropolitan Opera Company, of New York, and an artist of the highest rank both In this country and In Europe. Sho Is sometimes called "The Queen's Own," because of the fact that within the mu sical season of 1SS3-90 she received tho unusual honor of being commanded to sing on three different occasions before the late Queen Victoria. 'She Is a singer, also, of charming personality. She has done especially good work In three operas: "The Daughter of the Regi ment." "Fra DIavolo" and "Carmen." An enjoyable musical recital by SIgnor Giuseppe Ferrari's pupils was given at his etudlo, last Tuesday night, and was large ly attended. The concert-room was pret tily decorated with Oregon grape, and flowers, and the large! window was draped with an American and an Italian flag. Tho numbers given were: Piano solo, selected. Paulina Tappendorff: "My Rosary" (Bishop). Pauline Manciet; "Ave Maria" (Mascagni), George BIgclow; "A May Morning" (Denza), Jean Mackenzie; "11 Balen," from "II Travatore" (Verdi), Her bert Wilson: "Ave Maria" (Millard), Sadie Ward; "O Mio Fernando" (Donizetti), Er mine Hubbard; "Serenade and Lullaby," "Evening Song," and "Sercata Mexican Leila," Weber Mandolin and Guitar Club; and duet "I Maenadlerl" (Verdi), by re quest, Madame and SIgnor Ferrari. Tho pianist and accompanist. Miss Tappen dorff, Is only IE years old. and she played excellently. Herbert "Wilson, tenor: Er mine Hubbard, contralto, and Sadie Ward, soprano, showed marked progress In their singing, and their Interpretation was creditable. It was a pleasure to hear tho Italian method of using tho voice In song illustrated. Tuesday night the Boyer chorus will be heard at Taylor-Street Methodist Church In Gade's sacred cantata, "Christmas," and selections from Handel's "Messiah." The chorus will number G3 selected voices, with an orchestra of 25 pieces, under the leadership of W. II. Boyer. In tho cantata, "Christmas," most of the work falls to the contralto soloist, Mrs. Walter Reed. In the "Messiah" selections the soloists are: Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer, so prano: H. W. Hogue. tenor, and Dr. W. A. Cummlng. bass. There Is considerable Interest to hear the interpretation given by Mrs. Bloch-Bauer, one of the best singers in Oregon, to the two difficult solos, "Rejoice Greatly" and "I Know That My Redeemer Llveth." The last chorus will be the famous "Hallelujah," known all the world over. In all recog nized music centers, when the "Halle lujah" chorus in sung, audiences stand of their own accord. It is to be hoped that tho church will be well filled with music-lovers willing to encourage the venture of oratorio-singing In this com munity. The Boyer chorus is one that any city may well be proud of. Many eolo singers sing in its ranks, from the love of singing and the desire to keep in practice. The organist "will be Edgar B. Poursen. TO PROTECT CHILD LIFE. Strong Indorsement of Senntor 3Inrter' Fending Measure, ROSEBURG, Or.. "Feb. B. (To the Edi tor.) The introduction of a bill requiring compulsory medical- aid to children, by Senator Marsters, has stirred up consid erable commotion in the Senate. The commotion. is in the nature of opposition; and this, too. In the proudest of all en lightened ages, the 20th century! Legis lators will burn the midnight oil (public oil) drafting bills, and brewing oratory for the protection of birds, beasts and fishes, only to raise their hands- In holy horror If -child life is to bo protected from the ravages of' Ignorance and fanaticism. Why do any of them oppose this bill? Is It because It Is an Infringement of just personal liberty? They say so. This measure, however, is supported by the same correct principles which underlie compulsory education tho child's protec tion and best equipment for the struggle of existence. This measure is supported by the same principles which underlie our legislation for .prevention of cruelty to animals ordinary mercy and humanity. It rests upon those principles which make negligence p. crime' in some cases tho laws of love and humand brotherhood. The "personal liberty" cry is worthy only of the dark ages. It is only a me dieval dodge. In some cases It voices belief in the faith-heallng fad. Why do the Legislators oppose this measure? Is It because it denies to any their Just re ligious liberty? They say 60. But notice. This measure In no way interferes with Just religious liberty. They may believe anything or nothing, only their religious liberty must not be made the pretext for denying to their children tho right of medical aid In case of sickness. The sick chud is entitled to relief, from whatever source it may come. Parents may resort to nraver to reduce a broken-limb. If they wish, but theji must also resort to suis irenr. which the enugntenea world has found to be effective In most cases. They may give the credit for recovery to prayer or surgery, just as they choose. Surgery, is above miracle in these times, for sur- .gery is within reach of most of us In most cases, while miracle is not This is falsa to the theory of the falth-healcr. ,nt it is true to facts as the enlightened world flnds them.

HERE ARE RULES FOR LENT archbishop cmusnn axnouxces REGULATION'. Pasting Season for Archdiocese of Oregon Begins on Feb ruary S3. Archbishop Christie has issued the fol lowing Lenten regulations for tho arch diocese of Oregon. Lent begins Feb ruary 25: "L The use of flesh meat Is allowed at every meal on Sundays, as well as the principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Saturdays of the Ember days and Holy Week excepted. "2. The use of fish. milk, butter and eggs Is permitted on all days of Lent at the evening collation, and the principal meals on those days on which the use of flesh meat Is forbidden. "3. In the morning a small piece of bread Is allowed with a cup of coffee, tea, chocolate or some similar drink. "I. When the principal meal cannot be taken before noon, the order may be In verted and the collation taken In the morning and the dinner in the evening. "5. Lard and grease may be used in preparing the lawful victuals. "6. Those of the faith who are ex empt from the obligations of fasting can. on the days when the use of flesh meat is permitted to all tho faithful, be, al lowed to use It several times a day. as on the Sundays of Lent, when the obligation is not binding. The use of both flesh meat .and flsh together at the same meal is strictly forbidden during ,tbo whole of Lent. "The following persons are exempt from fasting: All those who have not attained their 21st year or who have passed their 60th year; those whoso weak health or condition otherwise may demand the full amount of nourishment, and all those whose occupations are of a laborious and exhausting nature. "Those who are excused from fasting on account of age or hard labor may use flesh meat more than once on the days on which It Is-allowed. "By an indult of Our .Holy Father, Pius IX. the soldiers and seamen in the United States service have only six days of ab stinence during the year, namely: Ash Wednesday, the last three days of the Holy Week, the vigil of tho Assumption of the blessed Virgin Mary, the vigil of Christmas. This dispensation does not exempt from the law of fasting. "By another indult of the 15th of March. ISO, the Holy See lias given for 10 years to the bishops of the United States the faculty of dispensing In favor of the working people from the law of abstinence on certain days. "By virtue of this Indult and dispensa tion of Lent, working people are permitted to use flesh meat once a day on all fast and abstinence days of the year, except Fridays, Ash Wednesday, Wednesday and Saturday In Holy Week and tho vigil of Christmas. 'The above dispensation is granted not only to worklngmen and women, but alsa to their entire families. t "It Is eminently in accordance with the spirit of the church that all those who use the dispensations from the .fast and abstinence should supply, in part, tho spirit of penance by prayers and alms deeds, by avoiding all public shows, par ties and amusements and by abstaining from all intoxicating beverages. "The tlmo for making the Easter com munion extends from the first Sunday in Lent to Trinity Sunday, inclusive. All the faithful are hereby warned that all those who neglect to- make the Easter commu nion violate a law of tho church which binds under pain of mortal sin. The transgressors of the Jaw are, moreover. subject to excommunication, and, should they die, to privation of Christian burial. "Parents have to answer to God for their children. Let them, therefore, re member that they -are obliged In con science io see inuv yjieir emmren ana others under their charge receive Easter communion. "The reverend rectors are requested to have special Lenten devotions on Wednes days and Fridays. The exercises shall consist of the beads. Instruction and ben ediction on Wednesdays, and the way of the cross and benediction on Fridays. During the month of March the au thorized prayer to St. Joseph will be re cited after the usual prayers of the mass. We also request the reverend clergy to read to the people, In the vernacular, the gospel or each day during Lent, and that this be done at the holy mass every morning. The reverend pastors are reminded 7 EXPOSITION BUILDING Friday and Saturday Nights Ct- 1 A and Saturday Matinee JTCD. lO-lTf SIXTH GRAND THE KILTIES GORDON HIGHLANDERS that the collection for the Indian and colored missions Is to be taken up In all the parish churches throughout the arch diocese on tho first Sunday in Lent, and in all the missions as soon afterward a3 possible; this collection to bo forwarded to the chancery Immediately. "With regard to the 40 hours' adoration, we leave It to the discretion of tho rev erend pastors to select any time during the year that may seem to them most" convenient. "Wo order the above Lenten regulations to be read and explained to the people on the Sunday preceding Ash Wednesday next. A. CHRISTIE, "Archbishop of Oregon." Tito Unosnnl American "Women.
