OBSERVE PUBLIC DUTIES

Addresses Oregon Crowd

Folk, former governor of Missouri
talked to an audience of more than
5000 persons here this afternoon at the
Albany chautauqua assembly Excur-
sion trains from surrounding towns
brought large crowds, and people came
from all parts of the adjacent country.
Before his Chautauqua address Folk
was given an informal reception in the
rooms of the Albany commercial club
by former Missourians of Albany
In his address Folk urged that the
people take more interest in public af-
fairs. Indifference of the law abiding
majority and activity of the law break
ing minority was responsible for cor
ruption in public affairs, he said. II
this country was destined not to en-
dure, Folk predicted that the indiffer-

Feast for 200 Is Served Under
Cool ArbOr in Villa

Amid revelry unconfned Dame Wis
dom flung aside her somber cloak yes
terday when nearly 200 members OF
the American chemical society feasted
and made merry as the guests of the
Italian-Sw colony al Asti. Sonoma
county.
At an early hour the chemists left
the city and made their way to the
land of the vine on a special train that
was provided by the colony. When
they arrived at Asti they were met by
Andrea SbarborO and p. c. ROSsi. An
hour or two before luncheon were spent
in thorough inspection of the plant.
The scientists marveled at many of the
points of interest and were greatly i'm
pressed by the enormous sunken wine
vat, the pride of the colony. which has
a capacity of 100000 gallons, the Iarg-
est in the world.
SbarbOrO told with animation of a
dance he had given in it when empty.
when 200 couples were able to move
about with ease. The guests were
photographed on the top of the vat.
an inspection of the great champagne
vaults followed and then came the most
interesting feature of the day-lunch
under cool and shady arbor on the
grounds of the Villa Pompeii. Sbar-
boro's summer home.
The guests were seated at a table

and before them was spread a lavish
store of good things. as we'll as an
abundant supply of the colony's
choicest vintages- When the corks be-
gan to pop and the wine to flow mystic
theory and formulae were forgotten.
The arbor was picturesquely adorned
with italian and American flags and
banners, and a glimpse of the Pom
pei1an surroundings, where an opening
here and there in the vines would per-
nit, made the scene seem truly foreign
Not to be forgotten in the setting was
the ever smiling host, Sbarboro, who
nodded and talked and halted now and
then to cry with upraised glass
Salute, as he tosated one of the
guests The feast ended after many
clever toasts had been responded to by
the guests and members OF the colony.
During the remainder of the afte--
noon the scientists drove In parties
through the vineyards, loitered along
the banks of the Russian river or
amused themselves with the trick

gates and bushes at the most surprising
places.
There was not a member of the party
that was not deeply impressed with

The month of June, 1910, brought in $35,000 as against $36, ,O00 three years ago. Perhaps the recent state had something to do with the decrease.

LIONESS DIES IN
 HER KEEPERS ARMS

New York. July 19.-Head Keeper Snyder of the Central Park menagerie was deeply affected yesterday when his favorite animal of the whole col lection, Sister" cub lioness, died in his arms as he was giving her medi- cine.
 Three months ago. G. M. Wynkoop, a broker at 37 Wall St., brought the cub and a baboon he named 'Joe' back from Africa, and gave them to the Park Zoo. The recent hot spell affected Sister" as Snyder named her. and during the last two or three days she was hardly able to move about.
 Yesterday morning Snyder gave her a stimulant and she seemed to be brighter for a time. At noon Shy der went into her cage and found her lying on the floor with her eyes clos ed. When he spoke to her she got up feebly. crawled toward him, and put one paw in his folded arm, and as he was about to lift her into his lap she died
 Snyder said he thought more of the animal than any other that had been in the Zoo for a long time. He said she was extraordinarily affectionate, and that in spite of the fact that she was seven months old, there had not developed in her the slightest trace of savagery or treachery.
 Her skin will be sent to the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History to be stuffed

 PASTOR DEAD
Victim of Trolley Accident Passes
 Away Under Sad Conditions

Aver, wife of the Rev. Edward P. Aver of North Guilford, died shortly after o'clock. Death came after a battle lasting for over six weeks as a result of the in- juries sustained in the trolley car ac- cident in Grand avenue on June z when a number of persons were se- verely injured in the panic and con- fusion which followed the blowing out of a trolley car fuse, while passing along near the power house in Grand avenue.
 Mrs. Aver fell from the moving car and sustained an injury which is be- lieved to have. been a fracture at the base of the skull Her husband, the loved and popular blind minister of the Second Church of Christ, Congre- gatiOnal, at North Guilford, who was with her on the car did not leave his seat and was uninjured. After the accident, when he had been assisted off the car, he started to grope around to locate his wife, his constant com panion, who for so many years had always been at his side as his guide and assistant in all things, while she was being taken, unknown for some time by him, to the New Haven hos pital among the most seriously injur- ed and as it proved the only fatally injured passenger on the car.
