Handel's Oratorio by Local
Talent Scores An Artistic
Triumph.
Last night's production of Han
del's "Messiah" by local talent, at the
I. O. O. F. Hall under tho direction
of Professor Elmer A. Todd, marked
a new era in the musical annals of
Coos Bay. It was not only the most
pretentious musical composition ever
attempted hero but more Important
proved a social and artistic triumph
that is evidence of tho development
of musical culture hero through tho
efforts of those who have heard the
hest America and Europe can offer
In that line. Both tho solo and
chorus work was excellent, display
ing the results of much painstaking
efforts and careful training. A
chorus of fifty voices assisted by
eight soloists gave tho majestic music
of this oratorio at the head of the
world's masterpieces with an ease
and finish that proved a surprise and
delight to music lovers.
After the opening overture played
on the organ by Professor Todd, the
opening recitative and solo by Ben.
Ostllnd added laurels to that tenor's
accomplishments. His voice and
stage presence left nothing to be
desired and the evidence of his Euro
pean training was disclosed In tho
excellent rendition of this most dif
ficult solo. The audience manifested
Its approval with most enthusiastic
applause.
Tho premiere appearance of Miss
liable Claro Millis before a Coos Bay
audience was one of the interesting
events of tho evening. It was the in
troduction of this young lady, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Mil
lis to her new home and was under
conditions somewhat trying, but the
young singer proved more than equal
to the emergency. Her audience al
though critical and composed entire
ly of strangers was a friendly one,
and gave her a cordial reception.
From the moment the first, full
round note rang out sweet and clear,
until the conclusion, theyoungslnger
was in absolute control of the situa
tion. Miss Millis Is tho possessor of
a pure contralto of rare sweetness
and remarkable range and expres
sion, it has been carefully trained,
making It almost perfect within its
present.possibllities, which are large.
One Is surprised at the intensity and
vocal power proceeding from this
fragile, girlish figure as her voice
moves from the most subtle nuances
to tho strength of glorious exaltation
in tho climaxes, with all the grada
tions of phrasing and expression and
always In perfect control. Her up
per tones are of beautiful quality,
and in her middle and lower registers
she sings with rare feeling. She was
given enthusiastic applause and was
compelled to bow acknowledgment to
the hearty endorsement of her pleas
ed audience.
The absence of Dr. Bartlo caused
M.r. Andrew Landel's bass solo to bo
ippyed forward on the program. His
iflaahlargo, sympathetic voice of fine
Effj lacking some In control per
baDS8iut he sings with much feeling
nndajpiost perfect enunciation.

Mrs. Chas. Harris Ordered
Committed to State Asylum
By Commissioners.-
Mrs. Charles Harris of North
Bend, wife of the captain of the
Omega, has been declared insane and
will bo sent to tho state hospital at
Salem as soon as an attendant from
the Institution reaches here. The
case is a very pathetic one, the wo
man's husband now being away on a
voyage and cannot be reached.
Mrs. Harris is laboring under tho
hallucination that there is an organ
ized effort being made to kill both
herself and her husband, believing
that tho creatures of her lmmaglna
tlon are watching for a chance to
blow them up in their home with dy
namite. In tho spells, her husband
appears to her and Bho talks with
tho vision, telling of the imagined
plot.
Her condition was such that it was
feared that she would do harm to
herself or others, and so, she was
brought before tho board of insanity
commission who ordered her com
mitted to the asylum. Every effort
possible is being made to reach her
husband.
"THE MESSIAH" at I. O. O. F.
Hall tonight. General admission,
50 cents; reserved seats, 75c.
Mrs. Myrtle Cleaver of North Bend,
made a "most excellent first impres
sion. "With" pleasing stage presence
and a soprano voice of rare sweetness
and flexibility she was able to give a
satisfactory interpretation to her solo
part.
Miss Lillian Hall was one' of the
surprises of the evening. She is
vocally well equipped -with a drama
tic soprano voice which sho uses with
fine effect. Her sustained power was
a reyelatlon to those who were not
familiar with her wonderful develop
ment the past season. She possesses
a voice that shows great promise.
Mrs. Wm. Horsfall, Jr., who play
ed Mendelssohn's concerto In G Minor
showed a remarkable technique and
finish. Mr. Todd accompanied "her
with the orchestral arrangement for
tho organ. Tho three movements
were all very fine the "Andante"
particularly so." Mrs. Horsfall pos
sesses power and controls the vari
ous shades and methods of touch,
her lively '"sense of rhythm gives to
her playing taste and verve. This
was ono of the treats of the evening.
The finale of the evening, tho first
rendition of "Coos Bay," the new
march song, words by Francis H.
Clarke and music by Prof. Todd was
a revelation to the audience. The
melody Is bright and catchy, and the
words melodious aijd rhythmical
lend themselves easily to musical
adaptation. It proved popular last
evening and will undoubtedly live
and continue to grow In popularity.
There Is a buoyancy in the lively
movoment and a suggestive swing of
largeness In the words that made
it notable from the opening chords
to tho closing cadence.
Tho audience was largo and in
cluded all tho representative people
of Coos Bay. While not demonstra
tive It was very attentive and gener
ous with applause. Tho restraint
may have been occasioned by a na
tural tendency to await and compare
critical judgment on such a preten
tious production.
Tho hall was beautifully decorated
and tho accoustlc properties could
not bo excelled.
It was a triumph nllko for the
capablo director Prof. Todd, who
possesses those qualities of tempera
ment and professional enthusiasm
which made success possible, and
tho Individual singers as well as the
ladles of tho Progress Club without
w'n'oso cooperation It would not have
w'oil'sucIi a triumph. Tho social sldo
oPlfio production will bo given in
Tho Times on Saturday.

his face with grim determination,
prompt and fearless In action and
with that intelligent ' leadership
which has assured the establishment
of a better era in which the strong
and the weak alike must submit
themselves to the impartial execu
tion of the law. There was need of
a strong, courageous spirit to re
strain those destructive forces which
have asserted themselves in this time
of growth and plenty. Tho story of
his achievements will make up one
of the brightest pages in the history
of this or any ago and will prove that
today, as in any critical hour of
social unrest or of danger, the man
will appear who can grapple with tho
emergency.
"Who is so fit to take up the tasks
which this wondrous generation de
mands should be wisely and impar
tially performed as his great War
Secretary? Since the day when, in
Benjamin Hdrrlson's administration,
these two first met, the ope as
Solicitor General, tho other as a
member of the Civil Service Com
mission, they have been bound to
gether by like ideals and aims, by
close ties of friendship, and by the
exchange of mutual counsel, each
with his own Individuality and char
acteristics keeping constantly in view
tho ennobling vision of a better and
a greater America. Since the day
when, less than thirty years of age,
Mr. Taft denounced, with burning
words, a member of his profession
who had been guilty of flagrantly
vicious practices and had demoraliz
ed the community, he has ever been
associated with the cause of true re
form with that reform which will
not content itself with academic dis
sertation or hollow words."
Weather Is Warm.
Both in respect to temperature and
political development, the early in
dications were that the third day of
the Republican National Convention
would be warmer than any of its pre
decessors. The delogates, expecting
a long and physically uncomfortable
session were slow In arriving, and fif
teen minutes before ten o'clock, tho
hour set for reconvening, less than a
dozen were In their seats. Soon,
however, the hall commenced to ,flll
up and tho entrance to tho hall grew
uncomfortably warm and shirt
sleeves were soon in evidence.
Among the early arrivals were
Charles P. Taft, who sat In the Ohio
section and in tho front row of the
gallery were Henry W. Taft, Mrs
Henry W. Taft, Miss Taft and Char
les P. Taft. It was exactly 10:17
o'clock when Chairman Lodge rap

John Westley Hill of New York, who
opened the session with prayer.
