THE ASSEMBLY
LAST EVENINGS AUDIENCE SCAT
TERED BY A STORM CLOUD
NO DAMAGE AT GROUNDS.

There was an increased sale of
tickets at the ch%autauqua assembly
yesterday, the gate receipts amount
ing to about 500. The day was
very pleasantly passed, the routine
program being carried out until the
evening program was put on at the
auditorium. The English Opera
Singers, in costume and special seen
cry representing a gypsy camp, had
about half completed their program
when a fierce storm cloud approached
from the northwest and the wind
rose to high proportions. There was
a general scramble of the audience
leaving the auditorium, cottagers and
tenters rushing to their abodes, while
people from the city hastily entered
their automobiles and struck out in a
wild race for their homes. This end
ed proceedings at the auditorium, the
lecture by Stanley L. Krebs being
abandoned.
While a heavy rain fell there was
no damage by wind or otherwise at
the lake, and the business of enjoy
ment was resumed today by those
who r permanently located on the
chautauqua grounds.
The English OPERA Singers, whose
engagement closed last evening, were
induced to remain another day and
will appear at the auditorium this
evening. Stanley l.. Krebs will also
deliver his lecture interrupted by the
storm last evening.
Tomorrow is designated as Bust
ness Mems Day when the following
program will be observed:
1000 a. m. Parliament of meth
DDS.
1900 a. m. Round table.

1t is a rarity for more than one men,
Der of any family to become famous.
Nature seems coy about centralizing in
more than one scion of the same house
enough of stamina, grit, genius and
ability wherewith to cut niche in the
temple of fame. The exceptions to
this rule are very few. The Pitts. the
Adamses, the Van Burens and the
Beechers have already been honored
with this distinction. and to this roll
of honor must be added the Fields.

prominence as David Dudley Field,

complaints that its glue was not stick

not his product that was at fault, but
glue made by some other concern and

The chemist was asked to find a rem

process of manufacture, so that when
a certain chemical was applied to the
glue any time after it had left the
factory the glue would Immediately
change to a certain color. Statesmen
were then given bottles of this chem

their glue had failed they asked to see
the faulty work and then dropped some

The Varying Cost of Education.

A certain Yale graduate, for many
years member of the faculty and
always a close observer of the homo
undergraduate, once Qn moment or
evaporation, we take iD let drop a
significant remark. The burden Of the
remark was that a majority or the
students attending Yale ought to be
taxed some several thousands Of dollars
a year in return for the privilege OF
attending college, while the remaining
small minority should be paid double
that amount for contributing them
selves to the undergraduate communi-
ty. Without doubt this observation,
like the famous reports of Mark
Twains death, was slightly exaggerat-
ed. But 1t was not without its very
considerable modicum Of truth.-Yals

Rats as Food.

Rats form a favorite dish in China.

ed with finely ground white bark,

declared that traits would be not only
wholesome, but very nice, If properly
prepared-not common sewer rats, but
such as I ate barn fed animals shared

Sacred Deer.

From time immemorial deer have
been held In reverent regard by the
japanese. Herds are kept in COM
pounds. and the highest respect Is
paid to the animals. In olden times
the shotgun gave the people such a
strict order to protect the sacred ami
mails that If any one happened to hurt
or kill them he was put to death on
the spot. 1t was period of terror
Even at the present day the deer are
so tame and abundant In the shrine
grounds that they in fine weather stroll
round to the streets by twos and threes
and surround passersby, asking for
food and even taking the persons
sleeves in their mouths affectionately.
Once a year some of the deer are
caught by means of net with a han
die by several tanners Qn service of
the Kasuga shrine Office and taken to
an inclosure where their splendid
horns are cut off with a saw, while a
crowd of spectators watch the work
with breathless interest admission 10
sen. equal to about cents). This
done, some of the sacred horns are, as
a custom, awarded to the spectators
by means of lottery.

Christianity of the Practical Kind

The Sunshine Seekers Sunday school
class OF Peshastin some time ago de-
cided to do some good in a practical
way by sending girl to the hospital.
She needed surgical and medical at
tention but was not financially able to
bear the expense. The Sunshine class
undertook to raise the money re-
quired, upwards of two hundred dollars.
Two weeks ago, still lacking forty
odd dollars OF the amount necessary,
the class determined to hold an auc-
ton sale OF such articles as were do
mated for the purpose. The sale came
off at Peshastin last Friday night and
proved highly satisfactory. To the
people Of Leavenworth, Cashmere and
Wenatchee, who were among the do
nors, the class acknowledges itself un-
der obligations.

DEFENDS ITS CHOICE
 OF RESERVE BANK CITIES
Thirty-four AppIications-Oniy Twelve
 Could Be Named.

Washington. April 10.-The federal reserve bank organization committee tonight issued a statement defending it's choice of reserve bank cites ana definition of reserve districts. It was the first official answer made to crit icisms voiced in congress and heard from cities which sought reserve banks but failed to get them. For the first time some of the data used by the committee in reaching it's oSncluslons was made public
 Particular attention was given to the committees reasons for choosing Atlanta, Ga, and Dallas, Texas, Tn preference to New Orleans: for select ing Richmond, Va, instead of BalI- more and for naming Kansas City in stead of Denver. Colo, Omaha or Lin coin. Neb. The committee called at tention to the fact that since g cities were applicants and only twelve named 25 had to be disappointed.
 with so many conflicting claims, said the statement, somebody had to judge. Congress constituted the com mittee, a court. and gave the federal reserve board the power of review. Disappointed competitors should seek a remedy through the orderly process the law prescribes.
 Critics of the decision of the com mittee reveal misunderstanding and either do not know, Or appear not to know that the federal reserve banks are bankers banks and not ordinary commercial banks; that they are to hold the reserves sand clear the checks for thenl and engage in certain open market operations. As matter of fact, the ordinary every day banking relations Of the community. of bus mess men and of banks will not be greatly modified or altered
