their graduating play ut the opera
house on Saturday evening, April

The Mid Summer Nights Dream
is a play in which the genius of
Shakespeare III u writer of comedy
is shown at it's best. The produce
ton abounds III famous and famil-
lar quotations. In learning the
parts, the students are becoming
fluent with the words OF u great
classic and studying the powerful
expression and extended voSabu.
larry OF a great literary artist.
The cast of characters has been
assigned for some time and much
practice has been given upon the
parts. Altogether about sixty stu
dents are connected with the play.
Special costumes are to be obtained

parts. The best vocal musical tai
ent in the school is assisting in the
presentation and the Juvenile
Band has volunteered to furnish
the instrumental music for the
occasion. IL the students continue
to work with their parts, this
should be " most creditsble anna
ture performance and worthy of
the support of all the people Of

FINANCIAL PUZZLES.

Especial by French Cable TO The Tribuue
LCopyrlght. 1907. By The Trih,ne Association

London, Nov. 23-American financial prob
lens continue to absorb public attention. and
there is no agreement upon practical solutions.
These vary from contraction to expansion of
currency. from prohibition of increased issues
of paper money to national authority for emer-
gency currency guaranteed by the resources of
the federal Union and not directly convertible
into gold. and from the establishment of one
state controlled bank to the creation of pre-
else copy OF the Bank OF England in Washing
ton. These suggestions as irreconcable as
the prescriptions OF regular practitioners or the
specifics of quacks in case of nervous pros
tration The American patient. instead of in
viting processes of dissection and post mortem
reflections. is taking of himself and ef-
fecting his own cure.
The payment OF the Russian indebtedness of
f4, ,SG0.440 TO Japan through the Bank of Eng
land to-day is by a single draft but the gold
has come from the Russian Treasury. for it is
this sum, which will virtually be lent tempo
rarily by Japan. which will increase the reserves
of the bank and help to ease the situation
There are increased orders for gold from Amer
lea, and forecasts Of an per. cent rate before
Christmas but the feeling on the whole is more
optimistic to-day I'm the Street than it was last
week.
