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.
During the past year Prof. Elmer
A. Todd and Prof. Boll have opened
studios In Marshfield and the inter
est in good music, both Instrumental
and vocal, has increased signally
since their coming. Another teacher
who has done splendid work in
Marshfield is Mrs. Farringer who Is
now studying in New York, prepara
tory to reopening her studio in the
fall. Mrs. Worrell of North Bend, is
also an accomplished musician.
The Chaminade Club has for some
time been the nucleus of Interest in
vocal music. Its sixteen members
hold weekly sessions during tho win
ter and give an annual concert in the
Bpring. It was sincerely regretted
that the club was discontinued dur
ing the past winter; but tho members
are already planning for a profitable
term of study next season. Mrs. E.
G. Flanagan, Miss Evelyn Anderson,
Mrs. J. T. Hall, Miss Millie Johnson
and Mrs. Charles Stauff are all Cha
minade Club members and have been
doing good work in vocal study.
Mrs. C. W. Tower is probably the
bUBt known vocalist in Marshfield
and is a very popular soloist on many
occasions. Miss Anne Flanagan of
North Bend, has a very beautiful
Jilgh soprano voice which shows the
careful cultivation it has received.
Miss Maude Painter has a rich mezzo
soprano voice and has eagerly been
sought as a soloist sinco her arrival
in Marshfield. Mrs. J. W. Ingram is
another singer who excels in sacred
music particularly. 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.

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." It was a tribute to the
ladles of the Progress club who were
patronesses of the production that
there was scarcely a vacant seat In
the house. The ladles had transform

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."
Mrs. J. E. Oren and son Donald

The future of Miss Helen Taft, tho
only daughter of the candidate for
the presidency, is giving her mother
some concern. "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,

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
