ASSEMBLY CLUB BALL
The Social Event Of the Season.

The new moon last night was propltlous
and the ball given by the Assembly Club
in Fishers Hall proved to be the society
event of the season. Parsons orchestra,
of Portland. furnished the music and the
four hundred were in attendance.
The ball room was a scene of beauty,
the sheen of light reflected upon the
dainty and beautiful costumes Of the la
dies, contrasted with the regulation even
ing dress Of the gentlemen, made pict-
ure of pleasing lights and shades, ever
changing, like the colors in kale'do-
scope, in the mazes Of the merry dance.
There were many unique and exquisite
effects noticed among the ladies' cos
TUNES; the music was excellent through>
out; the dancing was good, and each and
all enjoyed to the full the pleasures OF
the evening. The whole affair pa sed of
most smoothly and was one of the few
recherchee events which take place in AS
toria society.

GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT.

Treasury Receipts For tho Month Far
behind What Was Expected.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-Tho treasury
receipts during tho month ended to-day
have not mo tho expectations OF the
officials aud tho indications now arc
that tho deficit at tho end Of the fiscal
year will DO little, II any, loss than So.
COCOON. To.day's receipts amounted to
only SSlS.20l. OF which Si6B, 702 was
from customs. Sll4,S4l from informal
revenue and S31,l5S from miscellaneous
sources. The receipts for tho month OF
April amounted to "a. PA. 1886, and the
expenditures to $50, 052, 800, leaving a
deficit for the month OF S., 7Oi, S5i Gents
omittod). aud for the fiscal year to date
$45,247,006.
Tho receipts from internal revenue
show n falling oil for April, rs com
pared with tho same month in 1894, OF
more than 100000. and n falling oil for
tho ten months Of the fiscal year of
about S2,000,090. During the remain.
lug two months OF tho fiscal vcar there
will DO no extraordinary expenditures.
The pension payments will amount to
about $22.000,0W and Sl.250,000 will be
paid on interest account. The ne. re-.
suit oil the year is not expected to litIer
very materially from to.day's figures,
and yet in making this estimate a con.
siderable revenue from the income tax
