ONE COLD DAY IN JUNE.
Man Who Recalls Freezing Weather
IN Summer Of 1S4S

A correspondent of the Buffalo Evening
News, in referring to the low temperature
of the early part Of this month, says he re-
Gals June 10, 1S4S, when there was freeze
all through the western part of New York
that killed every bit of young vegetation
above the ground.

lowing morning, June II, had occasion to
60 out to the village OF Hamburg, and 1
observed that all the new leaves on the
trees. the young wheat and corn and oats
were all blasted and dead. At Hamburg,
where the rye was just in the milk and the
corn had been once hoed, they were frozen
and entirely killed.
Farmers were greatly alarmed as to
prospects for the winter to follow. They
went to work and replanted their corn,
and instead of planting it in hills, they
sowed it broadcast for feed for their stock.
They planted turnips. beets, potatoes and
all sorts of roots. and in the fall gathered
in all the stuff they had raised, and every
spear of grass, corn stalks, etc, and dur
ing the winter ground these all up together
| for their cattle and other stock and the
next spring their stock looked the best that
they had eyer known it to do

MISSION WORKERS
HOLD SESSIONS
WOMAN'S Federation HEARS
GOOD LECTURES
One Hundred Members of Organiza-
ton Partake of Luncheon Served
by Women of First United
Presbyterian Church

The Woman's Federation of Christian
Missionary Workers of Los Angeles
held interesting sessions yesterday
morning and afternoon at the First
United Presbyterian church, corner
| Ninth and Figueroa streets
| At the morning session the devotional
service was led by Mrs. j. w. Van
Cleve, president of the federation. Mrs.
William Horace Day made an inter-
esting address on mission Work in
Japan" as the result of her observa-
tions on her recent trip to Japan.
The Spanish school rendered good
music which was followed by an ad-
dress by Miss Eva Marshall Shonts,
who spoke on "Intemperance as Hin
drance to Missions"
The workers conference was con-
Quoted by Mrs. w. R. Harper and the
! conservation service was led by Mrs.
r. j. Brown.
Luncheon was served to about 100
members of the federation by the
women of the First United Presby-
terian church.
At the afternoon session Rev. Baker
p. Lee, rector of Christ church, made
the first address. He said:
1.-THE missionary work is founda-
tion to every church. Those who stay
in the camp on duty are just as good
as the soldiers out on the firing line.
We cannot always correctly judge by
numbers. 1 had rather have 100 de-
voted people serve Lent than 10000
people crowd into church on Easter
| Sunday.
"This is a day of great sensations.
Some of the ministers pride them
selves in advertising their sermons
with great catch lines that attract the
people.
"It is the still. small voice that
does the effective work. People
thought that when Bunyan was i'm
prisoned he was a failure. But just
think of his work brought out In the
Pilgrims Progress-next in quality to
that Of the Bible,
1T is only when we refuse to heed
the still, small voice we are led
astray, and in our work no distinction
should be made between pulpit and
pew"
Miss Pratt made an address on
"Travelers' Aid Of Y. w. G. A." de-
scribing the work at the stations upon
the arrival of unprotected strangers,
etc.
Miss Marble. daughter of Mr.. Mar
BILE, banker of Los Angeles. gave an
interesting talk ON school In India
as she saw 1t as a missionary in that
country. Others made addresses and
music was given by Mrs. II. Fonda.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-26
COSTUMES AND SCENERY
BEAUTIFY PRODUCTION

Rich costumes, beautiful scenery, ex-
quisite music and a lot of darling chill
dren, the fairies in the play, sum up
the excellence of the performance at
the Auditorium of midsummer
Nights Dream" by the Isis League
of Music and Drama from the Point
Iona Theosophical settlement at San
Diego. Not very much can be said in
praise of the acting, but Shakespeare S
SYLVAN fantasy does not call for a very
high order of histrionic ability.
In rich garb of dazzling beauty, en-
hanced by the magic lighting effects,
Lysander and Demetrius turned eyes
upward to express their love for
Hernia. She, a picture of classic
beauty in lavender Grecian draperies,
pointed her chin high in describing
strong emotion and when she was sad
let her head sink gracefully forward
on her chest. She was a mi-blonde
with chestnut hair.
The other, a brunette, who played
Helena, had the same kind of ges-
lures, but she could make more of a
show because her voice was stronger
and her angel sleeves We're wider when
she waved her arms.
1t may seem hypercritical to speak
of the voices of the company, but it
must be said in candid truth they
were not pleasant. Some were nasal
and others throaty, and the delivery
was of the sing-song variety. One
exception must be made in favor of
Nick Bottom, played by H. Carter
Bligh, late of Miss Olga Nethersole's s
company, the only person whose name
appeared on the program, it being the
rule of the Theosophical school not to
give the individual any prominence
over the whole, nor to accentuate any
particular part. Mr.. Bligh was all
that could be desired in his part, in
voice, delivery, diction and action. He
and the baby fairies were the bright
stars.
The costumes, showing rare broid-
cries of beautiful design of harmonious
colors. were made by the Woman's ex-
change, Point Iona. 1t is claimed
that they are historically correct.
Some of the music was also made in
Point Iona, one number the accom-
paniment to 81 Know a Bank" having
been composed by Master Rex Dunn
of the Raja Yoga academy.
There were 150 people In the cast.
The proceeds of the performance will
be devoted to the support of the theo-
sophical schools in Cuba.
