A REASONABLE REQUEST.
Rev. Z. Gray Asks Only tlie Opportunity
to Defend Himself.
Rev. L. Gray of the Evangelical Lu
theran Zion church, of pregon City, ar
rived in The Dalles last evening and
called at The ChronicTLe office, desirous
of j having the following Eta tern en (8
made:
That in the Oregonian of yesterday
appeared the statement, of an Oregon
City correspondent that be had uncere
moniously left the town and hinting at
crookedness. This Mr. Gray says is un
true. He left Oregon City openly and
proposes to return there on Monday.
His family and residence is still there.
He will, however, leave Oregon City in
about a month, and take charge of the
Lutheran church in The Dalles.
The Ohio synod, Mr. Gray says, has
charged him with being an unprincipled
individual, and is attempting to rob him
of his field in Oregon, which he has
vV.churches in Wasco. Morrow and Clack-
he sound of tbe hammer and saw is fmaa counties. This -synod has so far
are failed to grant him a trial for the hear
ing and rebuttal of specific charges, and
the matter has been taken up by tbe
ministerial council, composed of minis
ters of all denominations, who will de
mand that the Ohio synod give Mr.
Gray a square trial, setting a date for it
at Oregon City, or withdraw the charges
made or intimated against his character.
Mr. Gray desires all Lutherans who
may have been influenced against him
by the Oregon City papers or the Ore
gonian of Portland to withhold their
judgment until he shall have been given
a. hearing, and promises that a square
trial will result in the complete vindica
tion of his character, socially, morally,
religiously or otherwise.

e a number of people
gathered together at
ldwin ODera house as
last night, and fortunately for the Degree
of Honor the program of entertainment
was of such unusual excellence that even
tbe most exacting could not have found
a flaw to displease them in the entire 90
minutes of unalloyed 'pleasure afforded
them. The following was the program :
Chorus -. ,i .Degree of Honor Choir
Scarf Drill. . V:.I
Recitation ...j..x Jennie Russell
Solo "Fly Forth Oh Gentle Dove'. .Chas Clarke
Tableau "Charity"
Character bong "111 Tell Papa Oa You"

Tableau "Hope"
Duet (mandoli a accpt) . . . Myrtle and Ret ta Stone
Vocal Duet "The Kobin and the Eote".
Tableau "Prelection"
Chorus "Good Night". . .Degree of Honor Choir
In a program where every number so
nearly attains perfection, it would seem
to be injustice to give prominence to
portions of it by comments, and leaving
others untouched, yet lack of space for
bids a description of each. The chorus
was by twenty mixed voices of the
Degree of Honor, which opened and
closed the exercises, This chorus was
well balanced and was enthusiastically
received. The scarf drill, by eight
young ladies, was' a pleasing combina
tion of poses and rythmic movements,
most gracefully executed and excited
general admiration. Tbe tableaus were
universally prononnced to be superb.
There were three at intervals daring the
pr&'grftm. "Charity," by Miss Beulah
Patterson, and "Hope," by Miss Cora
Joles, were represented in Grecian cos
tume, that most beautiful and graceful
manner of clothing the female form.
"Protection" was a most- effective'
tableau, conveying an object lesson to
those present without the order which
will not soon be forgotten. The tableau
was constituted of a group, representing
the giving of a $2,000 insurance check
to the widow of a member for" her sup
port and that oi her little ones. Mrs.
Filloon represented . the widow, Mr.
Chas. Stephens handing her the check,
and Delia and Marshal Young and Katie
Herrin representing the children. The
recitation by Mies Jennie Russell was
rendered with that lady's rare elocution
ary power, and was the only one of the
evening. The solos, duets and all the
musical selections were by singers and
musicians well-known In The Dalles, of
whom added praise at this time is
superfluous.
As before stated the Baldwin, opera
house was crowded. It must have been
when $84 was taken as the reault of the
evening's entertainment, the tickets
being 25 cents each. Prominent in the
work of selling tickets were Mrs.-Ed.
Beck and Mrs. Elizabeth Joles, who
sold fifty each. There were others who
sold a lesser number. The result of last
night's entertainment' will be a largely
increased membership.
s Faiastaktng: Musicians.
Though not so large a city as some
others in tbe United States, Tbe Dalles
excels 'in a good many things Among
these is the Orchestra Union, which is
pronounced by musical criuca who know
to be one of the finestWthe Northwest.
Its members are painstaking and con
scientious musicianSjwh care more for
tdchnique than the popularity that
might arise from tricks whteh are so
readily picked uprby modern orchestras
in the effort to appear first class. There
is a standard in music as in poetry, and
established rules must be followed in
either to acquire lasting fame
