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. ildg.

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" i ,i . Georgia Sampson Vocal Trio "The Tide of Life" f . .Mrs Varncy, Lizzie and Georgia Sampson Piano Duet "The Dragon .Fighter" 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 Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair. Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.
