Once more have the departed bretb ren of the Benevolent and Protective Order ofElka been remembered in fitting terms of praise, and the memorial ser. vices held yesterday In Odd Fellows' hall will go down into history as a trib ute composed of the most- beautiful fac tors in the formation necessary to such ah event harmony, beauty and rever once. . , . - ' - . ; Long before the hour advertised for commencing, I o'clock, the spacious hall was packed to the doors with an audience typifying ' the ' very highest social plane of the city. As each per son entered the beautifully decorated hull through which tgarlands of ever green and potted plants had been dls tributed with a lavish hand, one of the reception committee handed forth a tastily decorated Vrogram containing not only the itinerary, but the names of all officers, and committees of the lodge, ad well. , , The row of chairs around the audi torium on three sides next the wall had been reserved for the lodge members, and shortly after the appointed hour, to the solemn music of Chopin's funeral march, played by the orchestra, the Elks marched in double file down the main aisle, and thence diverting, walk ed to their seats. The second number, "Appear, Thou Life Divine," was then rendered by the oholr. - That organization was composed of the following ladles, and gentlemen: Sopranos, Mrs. .George H. ueorge, mrs. G. C. Fulton, Mrs. Herman Prael, Mrs. Dr. A. A. Finch, and Miss Grace Han nels und Miss May Utzlnger; altos, Mrs. W. H. Barker, Miss Nellie TJtzin ger, Misses Margaret and Elizabeth Busey and Miss Lulu Estes; tenors, Messrs. W. H. Barker, John McCue, Mr. GUmore and Dr. Barr; Dassos, W. H. Gratke, John Garner, aran Carnahari, George Watklns and Mr. Henderson. The soloists were Miss Reba Hobson, Miss Grace ltannens, and J, W. Belcher. Miss Laura Fox officiated as conductress and Miss Sue Elmore as accompanyist. The work of the choir reflected a vast deal of credit on all concerned, ana particularly on the last two ladies men tioned. This was Mlsa Fox's first ex perience along the particular line, and the results yesterday amply attested her efficiency. The choir pracuceu twice a week faithfully for a solid month, the apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Kuettner being thrown open to them on practice nights, and the comment yes terday was universally in praise of the choral work. Besides the number spoken of, Shel ley's "Lo, it is I," and Wagner's soul stirring march from "Tannhauser," al ways a popular number with muslo lovers, were rendered. Miss Reba Hobson's solos were "One Sweetly Solemn Thought," "Hear My Prayer" and "Lead, Kindly Light," be sides sustaining the soprano's part in the trio, "Te Pre go, O Padre," in con nection with Miss Fox and Mr. Belcher- Comment on the qualities of Miss Hob son's voice would be superfluous, criti cism would be absurd, and comparison tiresome, so why Indulge 1n rapsodles? Possessors of auch voices are only too rare In towns of this size. Miss Rannell appeared in the duet, "Peace to the Dwelllng,",r with Mr. Belcher and simply confirmed the good opinion which prevails regarding the sweet quality of her vo9ce. Mr." Belcher sang, '"Hear Us,' O Father" as a eolo, besides appearing in the duet and trio already noted. The gentleman is an old Astorian, though now residing in Portland, and produced a very favorable impression in each of his numbers. The selections of the orchestra in cluded the initial funeral march refer red to previously, Braga'e "Angel's Ser enade," a perfect gem in the world of music, the "Gloria," from Mozart's Twelfth Mass, and ' "Come, Gentle Spring." ' ' . i Mr. G. C. Fulton, the orator of the occasion, handled his subject with rare skill, and his delivery was masterly. He believed that the contemplation of the lives of those who had passed to the beyond served as a valuable reminder to the living. He also pointed out the benevolent feature of the Elks, stating that ;'thelr faults were written upon , sands and their virtues upon the tab-" lets of love and memory." The address was very much appreciated by both visitors and Elks. ' John E. Gratke, officiating as chaplain of the lodge, twice delivered an invoca tion to the Deity in language peculiarly appropriate to the occasion. One of the most interesting features was Mr. O'ConnsIl's recitation of the poet Bryant's "Thanatopsis," the lights being turned low for the nonce, Impart ing a "dim religious air" to the circum stance. The rituals customarily gone through on occasions of this sort were duly ob served by. the lodge, and the program closed by all singing The Doxology. The orchestra under the leadership of . M. Johnston was composed of the following musicians: First violin, J. M. Johnston, G. Glenn; second violin, C. Ia Blanc, J. M. Stone; clarionet, N.A. Norrls, S. T. "Wooly; cornet, Harry Coyne, George 'Williams; trombone, .F. Ackley: double bass, Alec Glenn; cello, . Surryhyne; piano, Miss Sue Elmore. The success, primarily, of the exer cises was due tothe memorial committee consisting of Messrs. John Fox, Ed. Hallock, J. V. Burns, C. A. Cordlner, and F. D. Kuettner. The thoroughness of the labors of these gentlemen -was shown yesterday in the admirable spirit in which everything connected with the day moved along, and consequently they are entitled to the thanks of the brethren and the public generally. It would, perhaps be, difficult to ini maslne a greater contrast in this world than that which one may find be tween the, Jolly functions of the Elks and the solemn services of memorial day, when departed brothers through out ttie land are spoken of in terms only love and kindness. . And while from one point of view, no analogy ex ists between the, widely dissimilar gatherings, yet. there does exist but sat isfaction in the minds of the people as they witness at different periods these diametrically opposite reflexes of na ture's mtryr, and .from that very dif ference this flattering deduction is in evidence none but the American could do both these things equally well.
