The Chamlnade Club will give Its second annual concert Wednesday venlng In the Masonic Opera House. This will "lnrk the close ot the lnost successful season in the history of the club, and will without doubt bo the best musical program over heard on Coos Day, notwithstanding th. fact that the concert given by the club last ear was a musical event of Biierlal note. The club was organized three jears ago with Mrs. E. K. Sheldon a3 president and Miss Leonn Shaw director, with a membership of nine. Since that time the club has grown until now there are eighteen mem bers, and It Is considered the best musical club in this section. The first )ear the club gave no concert, and tit the end of the season sev eral recitals were given at the home of Mrs. William Horsfall, Jr. A few invited guests were present at each of these. Last season was closed with the first concert given by the club. The money lealized at this time was ghen to the San Pianclsco sufferers. Mrs. Horsfall, the present direct or, has proved hersolf to be highly competent for the position and has been elected to a!t in the same ca pacity next season.

This day Memorial Day pre sents a 'spectacle unique in the his tory of the nations of the earth, for n all the world there Is nothing like it. 'Other nations, as wo ourselves, have erected shafts of marble and monuments of brass to the memory of their heoric dead; but what i3 done today in every city, and town, and cemetery, all over our glorious land, surpasses these things as the living surpasses the dead, for "We crown wrhat God has taken, with what heaven gives." Today a grateful People, laden with the choicest gifts of genial spring, prompted by loving hearts, scatter with tender hands theto Bweet tributes of memory on the graves of their honored dead. With the poe't, the nation seems to What can the world show that is Uke unto this? And that this is so. Is truly meet and just; for of all the ".1: 1Z T' - the greatest, if not the greatest that can animate the heait of man. Now the debt of gratitude due to the dead of the civil war, whether their life's blood ebbed away on the battle field, or worn out with wounds and fatigues of patriotic strife, they have nnsweied the last loll call dur ing the cars that have since elapsed, this debt Is, I contend, almos: ln- esumnuie, for had the cause for which they fought failed, what would have been our standing among the nations of the earth today? We are proud of tho fact that wo are a great world power. We have be :ome the wonder una admiration of the world. This glorious land has become the home of tho oppressed and the liberty loving from all parts of the earth. Our government has, by the perfection of her fundamental law; by the grandeur of her admin istration; by tho harmonious co operation of her co-oidlnnte branch es, set the standard of governmental perfection for the whole world. Any attempt then to undermine or de stroy this condition, was to have in-! voked ruin and disaster on what has since become so great. To divide was to dishonor, to destroy, and when the attempt was made, GOD In his mercy to untold generations, pro vided the man, Inspired the brain, and nerved the hand to aveit such a teriible disaster. Tins man had said a few j ears before:- "A house di vided against Itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot en dure half free and half slave. I do not expect the union to be dissolve J; I do not expect the house to fall, but I do expect It will cease to be di vided." From the steps of the na tion's capitol this man, risen from iruui i :ghcst jaitli, tho common people to the big rank among the ruler3 of the eai said: "i hold that in the coutempia- HUH Ul UUlVUlSfll 1UW, UiLU UL LI1U tun- ' stitution, the union of these states 13 perpetual, perpetuity Is Implied It J not expressed In the fundamental law , of all national governments. Let u . continue then to execute all the ex press provisions of our national con stitution, and the union will endure forever." He said to the south: "You have no vow registered in heaven to destroy the government, while I have a most solemn one to preserve, protect, and defend It. We must not be enemies, though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The chords of memory, stealing from every battlefield and patriot's grave to every living heart and hearth stone all over this b:oad land, will yet swell the chorus of the union, when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature." How beautiful and grand these closing words, but at what a cost their final realization. Four years of the most terrlfllc war tho world has ever seen. The red flame of defiance flashed across the south ern sky. That voice of conciliation was not heard. Sumpter fell; South Carolina had shot to shreds the flag she had once revored; 76,.000-imen rushed tothe front at the all of tho president' to meet- death and defeat at first. Men had said, this will bo a war to tho'jo'eath. One side or the other will fight 'till their blood is all let, and until their homes are lill ruins. Oh cruel war -with all your. pomp and circumstance and glory thou are a barbarous thing. Who can apologize for thee in thyself? Some onehas said that thou art hejl J tnrnod loose on earthy Among civil ized natjona, thou art systematized savagery, but stiirthou art sonie times necessary, for the" first law of life among individuals Is self preser vation, so It is among nations. Yet who is thore, that while deploring war does not admire the army. The valor of tho soldiers, tho sagacity of the leaders, the Justice and magnifi cence of the struggle; ALL this, men admire. I once heard a man say that war was a good thing, for It helped to take off a number of unde sirable citizens. What an insult to the manhood and patriotism of a na tion. No it is not the riff-raff, the rag-tag and the bob-tail of a nation that volunteers to do Its battles; It is tho honest sons of toll from the fields, from the Industries of the own? from the counter, from the school, from every walk In life. The son of the soil marches proudly to the front with the son of a foreign land. All races and creeds, high and low, rich and poor, Join gladly In the common cause, and as they set forth from their homes to the front, they are surrounded by mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts who bid them godspeed to do and die, if necessary, for God and country. Four long years of bitter strife on land and sea bravely they went to every bloody field bravly they fought on gulf and stream union at any cost was their watch word un conditional surrender their terms. Fight it out on these lines if it takes years, their grim resolve. Fred rlcksburg, Malvern Hill, Antletam, Gettysburg, New Orleans Vlcksburg, Mobile Bay, Tho March to the Sea, Fort Fisher, Cedar Creek. Flvel f,Forkks, Petersburg, bear witness to' their daring and Sometimes In tho heroic sacrifice, very helghth of mad and disorganized letrcat, a voice is heard, "Turn the other way boys, take up tho flag." "Lift It out of the dust. Jet it wave as of ore, for that banner should blaze 'mid the lightning of war." And the day was won though the field was red. But at last "there came a Sleam through the gloom," which burst forth Into glorious efulgonce at Appomatox where unconditional surrender crowned all their victories and practically ended one of the greatest wars, if not tho greatest war of history.
