Mission Bells
A New Musical Work by Marie
Louka

Louka
The following letter accompanied
a musical manuscript sent by Marie
Louka, the distinguished composer
to the Whitney Warner Company:
Lakewood, N. j., Dec. Is. 1911
Whitney Warner Company,
131 West Forty first Street,
New York.
Gentlemen-I am sending you
with this the last of the five teach
ing pieces that l had promised to
write this year. l have named it
Mission Bells. The theme, and
in fact the whole composition, came
to me as an inspiration while travel
ing through California for my heal
tn two years ago. ] travelled most
of the time in stage coaches, Of
which there are still many left be-
tween San Diego and San Francisco
/ saw the ruins Of many of the old
Missions, which one hundred ycap
ago We're a refuge and home for
the worn traveller, who could stay
as long as he wished and pay what
he could afford, and when he went
away took the blessings of the Mon
ks, those men of God who sacrific-
ed their lives for mankind in cuun
try which was inhabited by the
awless Spaniards and Mexicans.
While almost all of these buildings
are in ruined state now / was very
much impressed with the bells viii
ch in four or five missions still re-
naincd. These bells were formerly
ung at night to guide lost travellers
me day while malSeing trip on
horseback to the foot of q range OF
Mountains with my companion and
a guide we lost our way 1t was
late in the afternoon when we dis
covered this fact. While ponder
ing what to do we heard the Chi
ine os sweet bells three in num-
Der, We judged from the sound, and
following this, to us most welcome
sound, we came upon an Crsuline
convent, situated in most beauti-
full natural park in foothills of a
long range of mountains. As we
came up close we could hear the
soft tones of an organ and the sing
ing Of the nuns. 1t was vcspcr time
and l was so deeply impressed with
the beautiful scene that L forgot
the prcdicamcnt we were in. We
rcined up our horses aud stopped
until the chanting was over, and
the whole scene made such an inn
preston upon me that ! resolved to
embody it just rs it then impressed
me in a musical composition. This
! have since done, and ! am sub
mitting the manuscript to you un-
der conditions that it be named
Mission Bells" and that short
description of this event in my life
be inscribed upon every copy. Kind

communications to my home in

the eighteen-hour train is interest

The public has demanded fast
trains, and the railroads have en-

mands. The cost has been heavy to
both railroads and public. | do not

FRATERNAL SOCIETIES

Ont of the most astonishing deyel
i opments of latter day civilization, es
lecially in this country, is tn
Growth of fraternal societies.
Previous to a century ago Their
was probably not in this countr,
r:ore than two or three, at the Earth
est of what we know as the fraterna
secret order. One of these had ar
active existence as an operating So
ciety for a century before that time
and its earlier history is shrouded ir
the darkness of the middle ages.
For many years there was M
growth of the societies. in fact, there
was a time. less than a hundred
years ago, when it was exceedingly
dangerous for man to belong to a
secret organization, and a political
party was once organized to oppose
and destroy one of those then in ex-
istence.
After the great civil war, these
fraternities began to take on life and
to expand to their present large
numbers and enormous membership
One of these organizations now
numbers at least a million and a hall
III members, while another reports
thirteen hundred thousand, and there
are several others whose member
ship will reach the million mark. It
is, of course, impossible to estimate
how many of the men of this coun-
try belong to secret fraternities. The
membership constantly laps over
from one to another, and one man
may belong to one or more of these
fraternities.
They are called secret societies but
are really not secret in the bad sense
Of the word. None of the teachin,y
or any of these fraternities is at all
secret, and they are no more than an
emphasis on the moral duties that a
nan owes to God, his country, his
reighbOr and himself.
The secrecy is comprehended iii
the modes of recognition which each
society has adopted to prevent any
but members from gaining admission
10 their lodge rooms or from obtain
ing recognition or aid to which they
are not entitled.
Many Of these organizations have
insurance features of different kinds,
In which the members family is in
sured against the possibility of his
death or sickness Some of them
raise monuments to the dead of the
fraternity, all Of them with solemn
services commit the bodies OF their
dead members to the grave, and at
tempt to comfort the afflicted.
As most of them religiously con-
ceal their deeds Of charity, no esti-
mate can be made of the actual work
they do in relieving the distressed,
but many of them are engaged in
work that cannot be hid
len under bushel. They build anG
maintain homes for the orphan,
ZONES for the aged, hospitals and
conduct employment bu-
'eaus and attend to the education of
he children of their members. These
.bings cannot be and are not done
n secrecy.
On the whole. the growth of Sc
ret and fraternal organizations in
ais country has been healthy fea-
Iure, and they have made for friend
ship, unity among the people and
peace among the nations to a re-
degree. Miami Herald.

Bayfield, Won Again

In a well,played game of base ball
played at the home grounds last
Sunday afternoon the Bayfield,
aggregation again defeated the
Washburn team, the score being 7
to 4. In the first three innings Bay
field succeeded in running in five
scores and this lead could not be
overcome by the locals, although
they played the better ball during
the entire game. One or two of the
runs credited to Bayfield, was due
to errors and misplays on the part
of the Washburn nine. During the
last five innings they played ex-
cellent ball and although the scere
was against them, the fans who
witnessed the game were well salts
fed with the showing made. The
fielding by the Washburn men was
the best seen on the field this
season. The score by innings was
as follows.
Bayfield, 20 301 90 l o. .

The assessment roll for the
city of Washburn which is now
in the hands of City Clerk l.. N.
Clausen shows a much larger
assessment than in 1911. The
total of the assessment roll this
year is 81, 447, POI, an increase of
$l74,911 over last year. The
assessment is as follows: real
estate $44O,884, improvements
S447, 682, personal property and
bank stock 1858, 695.
Owing to tn, workings of the
income tax law there was no
assessment of pianos this year
but the assessments of incomes
Offsets this. The income tax roll
totals about $225,OOO. The per-
sonal property tax can be used
as an Offset against the income
tax. Seventy per cent of the
money obtained through the in
come taxgoes to the city, twenty
per cent to the county and the
balance to the state.
