I INTEREST IN AFFAIRS musical In Marshfield was manifested by the appreciative audiences at the production of Handel's "Messiah" by local talent at the Odd Fellow's Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday even ings of this week. Music has always had many devotees, especially among the women in Marshfield and North Bend, but few have reached the height of finished playing shown by Mrs. William Horsfall, Jr., in her rendering of Mendellsohn's Concerto In G Minor. Mrs. John Merchant, Mrs. Hors fall and Miss Eickworth have been favorites with Coos Bay audiences for several years and their work whether solo, duet or trio Is always enthusiastically received.

Miss Mabel MU 11s who returned last week from a year's study in New York mado her bow to tho Marshfield public in the Messiah Thursday night. Sho has a very rich contralto volco and sho will prove a welcomo addition to musical circles on tho Bay. Sho will probably open a Btudio in tho near future. Mrs. Gernldlne Morris who former ly taught vocal music and superin tended tho Roman Catholic choir, has returned to Marshllold after and ab sence of soveial years and lesumed her musical work, but Is spending the summer in Coquille. Mr. C, J, MtUIs has organized a Inrgo choir for tho Baptist church and the good music they offer at tracts many church-goers every Sunday. In g card wherever they have played The Improvement in orchestral music on the Bay during the last year is very noticeable. Several new orches tras have been formed and the music both in selection and rendition is better then ever before. The Marsh field band under the direction of Mr. George Ayre is a progressive organ ization and fills a long felt want in the music of the town. Dr. and Mrs. J. W.

Society on Coos Bay evinced all the Interest of a metropolis in the first nights production of "The Mes siah" on Wednesday evening. Altho appearing two nights every one seemed desirous of being a "first nighter."

The Times was unable to secure a complete list of the box occupants of tho second evening. neglect of modern languages which are so much more necessary, is some thing I do not comprehend. "A woman who has studied earn estly makes a more useful member of society than one whose accomplish ments are superficial, but the middle course of a good academic course and special studies afterward meet nil the requirements for the vast major ity of the future wives and mothers."

"My daughter will graduate from the Baldwin school at Byrn Mawr," said Mrs. Taft, "and she has taken all tho examinations looking to admittance into the col lege next autumn and I think she will pass all the tests successfully. "Now I cannot say definitely that I approve a college course for a girl. It puts her entiro life out of balance. For Instanco, all of my daughter's friends will complete their education this Juno or next and will make their bow into society in the winter of 1909. If my daughter takes tho'fu'l college course her natural compa nions will probably be married or dispersed when tho time arrives for her to co mo out. "Of course, having a good time and going In for tho social whirl is not evorj thing, but few mothers llko to see their girls glvo up such a delight ful time as tho first ars after fin ishing school means. "A girl must choose between wis dom and pleasure. Sho cannot have both, and after nil, for tho natural vocation of women, tho academic training is sufficient. Unless one de sires to adopt lltoraturo or teaching as a profession tho grind of the col- lego education looks unnecessary. "Not that I do not think that ovory kind of knowledgo is valuable, though why a girl ,mugt give so much was inserted at the request of Coun cilman Sacchi. Mr. Sacchl wanted to provide that the Income tax be paid after the city had attained a popula tion of 25,000, but Mr. Durett ob jected, claiming that there was a possibility that the growth would bring this number in a few years and the tax would be a hardship on his company, coming s'oon after the big expense of Installing the company. Councilman Nasburg insisted on the provision that the wires be put under ground in the business section after the city attains a population of 15,000. Mr. Durett and Mr. Dou glass 'first objected to this, claiming that the consolidation of the towns on Coos Bay might bring this num ber within a short time. However, it was agreed that this should not be required In less than three years even "though tho population reaches the 15,000 mark within that time. Pacific States' Offer. Mayor Straw's telegram to the Pa cific States Company's president at San Francisco and the reply were read. Mr. Straw in his message In sisted on knowing what the Pacific States Company intended to do and the fixing of a definite time when they would Install a modern ex change here. President Robinson In his reply said that the company had already authorized some Improve ments here and would make them as soon as possible. He also said that his company would sell the local ex change to local people and give them a long term contract for toll line ser vice if that was desired. This tele gram was attacked by Mr. Douglas who said that nothing was promised more than the expenditure of $2,000 which Mr. Robertson had previously announced and which would amount to practically nothing. Manager Robertson pleaded with the council to withhold the new franchise, reiterating his claim that; it would mean merely a duplicate telephone system and a double ex pense to local business men. He said his company's franchise expired in seven years and that at least he would like to be In a position to havo it renewed on a basis equal to the ono which they proposed to grant now for tweuty-flve years. Ho said that his company had been furnish ing a fire-alarm service for years for nothing and that it was better than the automatic one which Mr. Durett promised. Mr. Douglas claimed that this was not the case In regard to the flrtr alarm system that tho system which the new company proposes to give practically free was equal to or better than the ono which the city council had recently considered In stalling at an expense of between 12,000 and $4,000. Mr. Durett said that his proposed system In Marshfield and North Bend would cost between $50,000 and $60,000 to Install and that it would require six people to operate the automatic system. He reiterated his Intention to establish tho ono ex change for Mnrshfleld and North Bend, probably" locating it in North Marshfield.
