but we have to listen, and that's
worser.'"

Adams ctaH.

The Talmudic writer's tell us that
Ss;the blessed God gave to the first
man in paradise staff which had
been created between the stars,
Adam gave it to Enoch, Enoch to
Noah, Noah to Shem, Shem to Abra-
ham, Abraham to Isaac, Isaac to
Jacob. Jacob carried it into Egypt
and gave it to his son Joseph. When
Joseph died his household goods
were taken to the house of Pharaoh.
Pharaoh took the staff of Adam,
which had descended to Joseph
from the first man, and put it
among his special treasures"

A MUSICAL FIASco.
The First Night Of RossinPs Opera
"The Barber Of Seville"


"The eyentful first night arrived
at last, and throughout my artistic
career | have never experienced a
fmore stormy evening. 1t was not
the hostile party alone, but a whole
series of mishaps, which contributed
to the great liasco of my opera. The
overture was completely drowned,
as well as the first chorus, by the
kissing and whistling of the public.
AT this act of injustice Garcia, be-
side himself with anger, grew SO
excited that he broke several strings
of his guitar while accompanying
the serenade. This caused such a
disturbance that nothing more of
the music could be heard. Poor
Basilio, a debutant, became so
alarmed at the uproar that he trod
on his long cloak and fell fiat on the
stage. When he got up his nose was
bleeding so profusely that it was
some minutes before he was able to
sing. The noise then grew terrific.
Finally, just as the public was quiet
ing down, cat suddenly appeared
on the stage and was only driven off
again with much trouble and loss of
time. Thus Aas the unfortunate
evening brought to a climax. The
curtain fell and the performance
was stopped.
Although it was failure, was
none the less calm and satisfied, for
/ had the conviction that | had
worked conscientiously, and recog-
nized the injustice of an audience
which, in its blind prejudice, had
not listened to a single bar of my
music. 1t is the custom in Italy for
every composer to conduct his opera
for the first three nights, but the
next morning ! begged the manager
to release me from this obligation,
and he very gladly granted my re-
quest.
"Soon after this unfortunate per-
formance, however, a reaction set in
among the frequenters of the opera,
some praising the overture, Others
remembering the melody of the first
finale, others again thinking the air
of Figaro original, and so forth.
This was sufficient to induce the
greater part of the public to give
some attention to the second per-
formance. This time / remained at
home alone, trying to write and to
read, but could not collect my
thoughts. then took my watch in
my hand and mentally sang the
overture and right through the first
act. Suddenly | was seized with an
uncomfortable curiosity. wanted
to know what reception my music
was meeting with on this second
hearing and resolved to 60 to the
theater, when an extraordinary
noise called me to the window.
TheSe | saw thousands Of people,
with torches in their hands, coming
toward my house, and before / had
realized what was happening was
being carried in triumph 10 the the
ater, amid the enthusiastic cries Of
E viva Rcssipip | had hsdno time
to exchange my dressing gown for
6 coat. and thus was obliged to con-
duct the 'Barbisre' from the begin
ming of the second act. The audi
ence that had been so antagonistic
on the previous occasion NOW be-
came wildly enthusiastic and at the
end of the performance carried me
home in triumph. Such was the
baptism of my 'Barbiere. MAR
chest and Music"

One Of Rhodes Ideas.

A well known peer once asked
Cecil Rhodes to stand godfather to
his son, and he replied that he
would on one condition, which was
that he might invest at once f100
in the boys name and give flo0 on
each succeeding birthday, provided
that it should all go on at com
pound interest until the boy was
old enough to begin 10 spend the
interest, and that then lie might
yearly decide on what to spend it,
so lSrg as it was rot on himself
"Ihis," said Mr.. Rhodes, "will do
tive things-frs+, il will teach your
bsy Row to spend money, and, sec
ondlF, it viii make him unselfish
and kind to those in need"

ARMSTRONG TO BE

September 10. We wish you sue

At present Armstrong has charge
of the fire department, weights and
measures, the crematory and public
buildings. These four departments

The city charter says that the

MAY DISCUSS CAUSE OF
LNFAN7ILE PARAL YSLS

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 6.-Pol-
iomyelitis may be explained and the
causes of the malady discovered, as
result of a clinic to be held at
the thirty sixth annual session of
the oregon State Medical associa-
ton which convenes in Portland to-
morrow.
Known as infantile paralysis,
poliomyelitis has been reaping a
harvest of death throughout Ore
gon. Since it has been attacking
adults as we'll as infants, physi-
clans here decided that to call It
infantile paralysis is not accurate.
Authorities on the disease from
many parts of the United States,
together with local physicians who
have been making exhaustive study
of it's causes and cure, will make
reports upon what they have dis
covered concerning the nature of
the affliction. Scientific tests will
be made during the sessions in or
der, if possible, to discover the
causes.

Although Commissioner George

preferred board of works job, the

feet next Monday.

CLOSING
P0INDExTER
RALLY HERE

The Auditorium theater has been
reserved for next Monday night for
the closing Poindexter rally in Spo-
kane county.
Judge Poindexter himself will say
the last word to the people of his
home city before the primaries, and
IT is expected that he theater will
be taxed to it's capacity to hold the
crowd
The details of the meeting are
now being arranged.
The withdrawal of Wilson. in
stead of having depressing effect
at Poindexter headquarters, has
only served to make the boys feel
more jubilant. They take the with
drawal as n admission that Poin-
dexter has the machine whipped.
Some of the Wilson followers
around the courthouse were conced-
ing the nomination of Poindexter
this morning, in spite of the with
drawal of their favorite.

WILL PROBABLY
ADJUST CLAIMS

Another hearing in the Allan

case in the superior court was held
this morning before Judge KEENAN,.
Blinn Yates, the plaintiff, who
claimed that $575 for back salary
is due him, concluded his testimony
Haynes was then called to the stand
and testified only as to the connec-
ton of Yates with the Inland Her
aid. 1t was agreed that the paper
was indebted to Yates to the extent
of $475 for back pay, after which
the hearing adjourned until this aft
ernoon.
1t is believed that the claim of
Yates will be adjusted this after
noon and the receivership case set
