the opera house Friday night. The sub
jcct Of the address was Fraternity" ("
and more finished, beautiful, touching
and eloquent address has never been de-
| liyered IN the the city Of Pendleton. As
the speaker dwelt upon the noble attri-
butes of iraternal love and told Of mill
lions who had been spared a life OF want
aud misery through the Instrumental
ity OF fraternal protection, spoke so feel
ingly Of the right OF the mother and the
child to be placed beyond the possibility
OF want, OF the unworthiness of man
who would make no further provision
for these loving ones than the chances
Of life and health, the speaker won the
hearts OF his hearers and all were drawn
