THE STJXDAT OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUJLT 10, 1910. 5 ADVANCE GUARD OF HIBERNIANS WILL REACH PORTLAND WEEK FROM TODAY All Elements Will Unite to Promote Cause of Irish Freedom Order Whose Origin Reaches Back Into Centuries Brought to Rose City by Persistent Work of Citizens. ONE week from today the advance guard of delegations to the National convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians will begin to gather in Portland,- and during the following week it is . believed that the cause of freedom for Ireland will have made greater advances than during the last decade. Among the factions which will be amal gamated as the result of the adoption of the plans outlined for the assembly will bo the Clan na Gael, followers of Robert Emmett and his firebrand method of gain ing liberty; the Irish League with Its-plan of a peaceful accomplishment of the same end, and the Gaelic League, which, under the leadership of the eminent Dr. " Douglas Hyde, is laying a foundation of education In the ancient language and customs of the people in anticipation of the day when Irish peasantry shall be called upon to exercise the right of self government. During past years the descendants of the patriot of olden days have been no leas earnest in their desire to secure a free Ireland, but they'Jiave divided their forces. At the coming convention the prominent figures will probably be John DeVoy, head of the Clan na Gael in America; M. J. Kyan, of the Irish League, which is standing for the policy of John Redmond in the British Parliament, and O. Concannon, who is coming from Ire Land as the personal representative of Dr. Hyde. Origin Reaches Into Ulna Past. The date of the origin of the Hiber nians is a moot question. Some there are who fix the time as far back as the struggle of the Oelts to throw off the hated Saxon yoke in 1565, when Rory O Moore organized the country to afford refuge to the priest of the Catholic Church. At that time they were known as the Defenders, and perhaps the bnst authorities' trace the organization to that grea,t event in Irish history. From the date of the tragic death of Ilory in lots the Irish Catholics have always maintained some sort of an or ganization, declaring for the faith of their fathers and the political liberty of the "ould sod." Under such conditions Irish-Americans, descended from the emigrants' who sought refuge in America following the failure of their struggles against English rule, have developed some of the great figures in the history of the United States. The Irish race has given the United States generals in the volunteer armies which went out in M61, and they com manded thousands of their countrymen who were w-illing to face the shot and hell of Southern battle fields because of their love of liberty. Irishmen have sat on the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, the greatest tribunal in the world, and the race has unfalteringly borne its part in the less glorious path ways of life. But always, the true Irish man has nurtured the hope that his children might see the harp waving over , a free Ireland. How Portland Won Convention. The convention which, comes to Port land next week is to be composed of men and women who ere giving much of thefr time and money to fostering the cause, and great hopes are entertained that something will come out of the meeting which will be a tangible step foi ward. That Portland ia to have the honor of entertaining' this distinguished body of Irish-Americans and their friends from foreign - countries, a crowd of probably 10,000, is due to a visit which P. E. Sulli vtn. of Portland, paid to the National convention at Saratoga In 1906. Mr. Sul livan went East as the first delegate that Oregon had ever aent to the National Hibernians. 'On his return Mr. Sullivan made such a glowing report that plans- were imme diately made to capture a meeting for Portland at some future date, and a campaign of advertising the beauties ' f the city and of Oregon was started.

H. Deery at the publicity end of the committee. Offices were secured free of charge with the Catholic Sentinel, and for two years the Portland member of the Hibernians worked In the politics of the convention with only one purpose in view, Portland as soon as possible. "With only a small membership, and their funds largely depleted through charitable uses, it was necessary to call on the order for volunteers to at tend the last national convention at In dianapolis, bearing the Invitation to come to the Rose City. Rev. Edward Donnelly, Rev. H. 8. Gallagher, M. J. Doyle, J. S. Courtney, P. E. 8ulllvan and E. H. Deery came forward and offered to pay their own expenses and to boom the city on the Willamette if they might be allowed to go with the open hand of hospitality extended. Marie Chambers and Sally Madlgan volunteered from the Ladies' Auxiliary. -A visit to the offices of the O. R. & N. Company resulted in an arrangement whereby that railway was to send stereopticon views of the North west and a lecturer, and in addition tbe railroad furnished a sufficient supply of scenic folders to present a souvenir to each delegate. Arriving on the ground with their primitive 'eutflt' of ' inducements.' the Portland "delegation held open house and gave stout-hearted battle to Balti more and . Ottawa, Canada, the . cities which were asking for the convention this year. When the votes were taken In the convention Portland won hands down. , . Brilliant Men Will Come. Next week the Hibernians will be here, and the . first meeting will con vene on the morning of July 19. Dur ing the week there will be sessions of the convention, a ball at Masonic Tem ple, a banquet and numerous excur sions about the city and surrounding country. The convention will open with a pontifical high mass, rendered by Archbishop Alexander Christie, at which an extraordinary . musical pro gramme will be rendered. Among the delegates to Portland are rome of the best-known Irish-Americans of the United States, many of them known as brilliant orators, and some of them standing In the highest positions to which their states can elect them. California will send Joseph Scott, the man who welcomed the At lantic fleet to Los Angeles with a class ical address, and who is a prominent candidate for Unltrd States Senator. BY JOSEPH M. QCENTIN. HOW pleasant it is to be followed by a song wherever you go. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer has many pleasant experiences, and patriotic ones, with "The Star Spangled Ban ner." She and her husband went to Oearhart Park, Or., to spend the Kourth, very quietly, and to sing be fore an audience was what Mxs. Bauer particularly did not wish to do. However, the guests at Gearhart Ho tel though differently. They sent a messenger up the beach where Mr. and Mrs. Bauer were resting, stating that they wished Mrs. Bauer to sing to them "The Star Spangled Banner," but the well-known soprano begged to.be excused. Then Manager Bowers added his personal entreaties. Mr. and Mrs. Bauer walked to the hotel to see what the sudden burst of patriotism, meant, but no sooner had Mrs. Bauer reached the steps than a friend threw around ber a large American flag. "You must sing now, Mrs. Bauer. Tou can't refuse with the flag of your country wrapped around you," came the general chorus of about 200 guests. A piano was conveniently near and Mrs. Bauer sang the good, old song with true patriotic fire, and her auditors say that she never sang better. She made an Inspiring picture, as she stood there singing, wrapped in the ' folds of the Stars and Stripes. Miss Amy Seller and her mother, of Ban Francisco, are being much enter tained Just now. They are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Seller. Miss Amy Seller is an accomplished pianist and composer, and Ave of her new songs, "A Prayer," "Ebb Tide," "Love Thwarted," "Mother Love." and "Wen Ich in Deine Augen Seh," are dedicated to and will be sung next season by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer. . "By the Banks of Old Willamette," words by Mary Theresa Kutsche. of Woodburn, Or., is a new song the fame of which is winning warm commenda tion Just now. The music is written by Irving M. Wilson. An enjoyable musical was recently given under the direction of Anna Rindlaub at her home, assisted by Mrs. W- Fletcher, soprano, of Vancouver, Wash. Among those who took part were: Flavla McDonnell, Alma Grunlg, Mary Hawley, Dorothy Greenberg, Cor nelius Kelleher, Rachel Neuman, Esther Beherman, Bessie. Sax. Agnes Allehof. Ida Waddle. Grace Shirley, Rose and Carolina Farschman, Zelia Scammon ind Albert Clark. ' Tolanda Mero, the Hungarian pianist. In engaged for an appearance next Feb ruary with the Boston Symphony Orches Vra. A new quartet of women's voices has been organized and is rehearsing weekly, preparing for public appear ances early in the Fall. The personnel tf the quartet is: ; First soprano.

Miss Hazel Hardie, dramatic soprano, substituted last Sunday for Miss Agnes Watt in the choir of the Second Bap tist Church, and her singing pleased. P1 t -a: ' 'i'll ' " ''It f L1 , it BlUa Hasel ' Bardie, Soprano. Dramatic Miss Hardie has a clear, well-trained soprano voice and she recently was one of the soloists at a recital given under the direction of Mrs. Kathleen Lawler Belcher. At the recital referred to Miss Hardie received ; much credit for the excellent manner in which she sang "Dlch Theure Halle," an aria from "Countess D' Hoffman," by Offenbach, and "In 1822." - H. Evans Williams, the Welsh tenor, is now at his home at Akron. O., and says that he will tour the South in con cert, beginning In February, 1911. The Metropolitan Opera Company, of Paris, France, ends its season with re ceipts amounting to J1S0.000 in tho treas ury. . Riccardo Martin, the American tenor, who has Just finished a successful sea son at London, England, says that some years ago, when he had an inferior bari tone voice,- he suffered from the effects of a severe cold. Ho consulted a cele- Drared voice, specialist, who treated him, tin, he developed into the great tenor that he la today. Therefore, take cour age, ye baritones who will suffer from throat colds the coming season. m m Madame Norelli, the soprano, who calls this city her home, was recently engaged to sing at the Grand Forks, N. D.,' musical festival, but she suffered eo much from Influenza that she did not sing until the third day of the festival, when she was enthusiastically received. Madame Norelli was to have taken a trip to Europe this Fall, but has changed her plans and it is announced that she will sing at the Norwegian Sangerfest, Eureka, Cal., September 1-3, and will af terward sing in various other Pacific Coast cities. ' A fair - sample of our modern church music, says London Tit-Bits, may be de rived from the reply of a celebrated cler gyman who. when asked his opinion of the music in some of our churches, said "I attended a fashionable church, where I sat all through the sermon wondering how in the world I got In without a ticket!" Speaking also of the usual style of singing by the choir, he takes, for ex ample, me sentence, "Take thy. pilgrim home," etc.. which, beingr rendered ar tistically, has the "following sublime .ef fect: First, the soprano sings, "Take thy pll ," followed by the alto and tenor In a duet with like advice (while tne soprano is magnificently holdinir on to the "pll"), and as the bass profoundly echoes the same "Take thy pll they finally unite and repeat together, event ually succeeding in singing "Take thy pilgrim home," etc., greatly to the relief, no doubt, of both .minister, and ' people, who must have been alike horrified at tne suggestive advice so forcibly promul gated. Think of music as a cure for infant paralysis. It is related that some -lit tie time ago Dr. -William Ramsev. i well-known London physician, noted that wnen music was rendered by a small or chestra at a children's hospital, several little cripples among the children began to keep time with their feet to the music. It was found after careful investigation that control In the withered limbs began 10 appear. i ne music treatment was continued, with the most successful re sults, it Is said. A little boy, whose right . arm was about useless, was next treated. His right arm was raised with a drum near him, and his arm and drum stick dropped in unison with the rhythm of the orchestra, with the result that In side of six months the patient was changed into a normal child. ' Jessie Maclachlan, the Canadian-Scotch concert soprano", has returned to Toronto, Ontario, from her Western tour, after having sung at 100 concerts. , Miss Christel Harriet Pratt, !.n in structor at St. Helen's Hall, has e so prano voice of good range and quality and last Sunday night -she sang with fine effect a solo from the oratorio "Ell," at Haesalo Congregational Church. Excellent violin playing by students was noted last Thursday night at a recital given under the direction of Frank G Eichenlaub.

Good work, in shading and expression, was ..done at the rehearsal last Tuesday night by the mixed chorus that will Bins unaccompanied Irish ballads at the con vention of , the Ancient Order of Hiber nians, at the Armory, on the night of July 20. At the rehearsal mentioned the chorus voted to call itself the .Portland A Capella. Chorus. Webster's dictionary Bays that the term "capelle" means "the private 'orchestra or band of a prince, or of a church." But. latterly, the words "a capella" have come to mean the sing ing of music without the aid. of accom paniment. The director of this Portland voice chorus, Frederick W. Goodrich.' lias worked faithfully to make it a meri torious organization. , and he has suc ceeded. Between 70 and SO singers are already members of the chorus and it is hoped . q set eventually 100 singers to gether. Some more good tenors are de sired andall lntereeted should attend the next rehearsal of the chorus, Tuesday night, at 8 o'clock, Filers Hall. 1 " e Arion Hall was crowded to the doors by an' appreciative audience last Friday night, on the occasion of a musical and dramatic recital given by the Western Academy of Dramatic Art, Elocution and Music. ..The programme, which was a most enjoyable one, was as follows: Playlet.

Zan, baritone, and Miss Leonora Fisher, organist. Mrs. Bauer and Mrs. Mark will each sing .solos. . ........ Charles Moratl and his " wife, with their grand opera associates, have been spending the last . week In this city, resting after' a busy musical season. Moratl is the well-known French tenor who sang last season opposite Caruso at Hammersteln's opera house, the Man hattan, in New York City, and who has been' en 'tour since .'Mr..- Hammerstein disposed of his opera house interests there. Moratl Is a native of Paris, France, and his father was born en the island of Corsica, where the great Na poleon first drew breath. . Moratl has a pure lyric tenor voice of excellent qual ity and his compass is from low D to D in altlssimo above the staff. His voice teacher was Duvernols, of Paris, by whom he was taught for four, years at the Paris Conservatory, of Music. For two years Moratl sang at the Opera Comlque and also two years at the Brus sels' opera house. Then the lmpressario, Hammerstein, heard of the talent ex hibited by the young French tenor, and Moratl's engagement at the Manhattan in New York followed. Moratl speaks English, but prefers to sing in French. One reason he left the Manhattan earlier than he expected was because operas are usually sung there In Italian. Moratl sings these five operas at the present time: TPagrllacci," "Cav- allerla Rustlcana;" "Lucia di Lammer moor," "Travatore" and Offenbach's "Tales of Hoffman." Madame Moratl Is a native of Buffalo. N. Y., and she is the contralto in the Moratl Opera Company, the other mem bers being her husband, tenor, and a soprano, mezzo-soprano and baritone. Moratl, who with his company opens an engagement at the Orpheum tomorrow, says that next season he may organ ize a French opera company from Paris, to give grand opera in French. In Pacific Coast cities. If his venture shall prove successful financially, it will be a grat ifying business experience for ' an lm pressario in this region. Two grand opera companies that played here within the last 18 months sang to half-filled houses, a condition caused, it is said, by too many Portland people running after vaudeville and cheap motion picture shows. '..,. Thomas Beechatn is a London - Impre sario who is rich.' He gave in the sea son just closed opera in English- to Lon doners and produced several novelties, but he lost money. He announces, how ever, his purpose to continue his pre sentations of grand' opera in English, al though the financial outlay . will be $50,000 a year. Mr. Beecham is associated in the venture with Hamish McCunn, the composer. The Metropolitan Grand Opera Com-' pany, through its director, Andreas Dip pel, has asked for a- guarantee of $40,000 from St. Louis for a brief season of opera In that city next year.. St. Louis I folks are not sure about guaranteeing I a grand opera season they will refuse to accept "opera that has already been worn to tatters, or canned opera." Melba and Nordica have been engaged to eing at the Chicago presentations of opera. Cavaleria, who recently married Robert Wlnthrop Chanler, is engaged to sing at ten performances of grand opera at Bos ton next Fall. State ' examinations of music teachers is urged by the New York State Music Teachers' convention. Claude Debussy, the composer of "Pel leas ,et Melisande" and other successes, will visit this country in 1911. PQRTMHD FLYE SPOCANE R BETWEEN PORTLAND AND SPOKANE ' DAILY Leaves PORTLAND at 6 P.
