OREGON'S WHITE CITY
. ) .
The Assembly Now Occupying the Attention of
Thousands. Home and Abroad
The very name Chautauqua lends au
enchantment, it fills the miud to over
flow with the tilings most desirable in
this life, it brightens life's prospects
ana the heart is brought in tune with
all that is cheerful, bright, pure and
best. The great Chautauqua, situated
on the lake by the same name in the
eastern part of New York state, has
spread over the entire world the
greatest wave of learning known in
the history of our nation, it has sealed
an affection, a family relation, known
to no other christian school. Thou
sands upon thousands in the years
gone by who have attended the ses
sions hold in their hearts a kindred
feeling that can not be blotted out by
the ravngos of timo.. So is our Chau
tauqua, young as it may be and not
on the extensive scale as the great Beat
of leraning, yet in just the proportion
do we hold dear the days spent in
Willamette Valloy Chautauqua.
Each year the directors endeavor to
improve the prorgam, and this year
there are many magnificent attrac
tions that will instruct and amuse,
and hundreds of eager visitors will fill
the auditorium each day to drink in
the streams from the living fountains
of knowledge, breathe the cool air
that wafts through tiie great fir trees
laden witli nature's purest treasure
from the wooded dell. To camp in
the quiet, to rest where .'tis coolest,
to study whore there's learning and
pray alone with your Maker. All and
more, the season demands it, and the
Assembly bids all come. -
Following will be the program for
the first four days, touching upon
some of the main attractions.
JOHN SHAR? WILLIAMS.
The Chautauqua is not partisan.
Its broadness includes the best in
all things. The management is ex
tremely fortunate iiLohtaining the ser
vices of John Sharp Williams of Miss
issippi, democratic leader in the house
of representatives. He needs no in
troduction to the people of the Will
amette valley. By his tact, his
alertness, his good nature, his wit, his
keen eye for an opening Jus precept ion
when to be silent as well as when to
siieak, and by the resources of a well
trained mind he has made himself a
national figure Mr. Williams has a
good head and his thoughts are seas
oned with spicy humor of a strictly
American brand. Seriousness and
fun are delightfully allied.
He is a busy man and can givo but
one lecture.
July 10th, "Portland Day." 3:00 P.
M. "America for Americans. "
"This is not a man of froth and
gosture. He is no country cross roads
demagogue or sophomore orator. He
has brains, Whon John 8. Wil
liams gets upon his feet in the house
of representatives he is always
assured of fa rsepectful audience on
both sides of the aisle, tor it I as coiue
to be known that ho is not in love
with the sound of his voice, but
speaks in truth and soberness. His
are serious aims. Ho is of conserva
tive and grave purpose. "From the
vVaRliingtou Post. "

"Trial by Jury," one of the finest
comic operas by Gilbert and Sullivan,
is one of their best satirical hits. It
opens with the spectators waiting in a
court room for the trial of a breach of
promise suit. Soon the jurymen take
I heir places and the defendant ap
pears and explains how his heart has
wandered but tries to justify the aot
by allowing that everything in nature
changes and he ought to be allowod
Boss ' tne same privilege. (The judge t then
comes into oourt and receives a hear
ty welcome. The usher thon swears
the jury and the plaintiff is called,
who gathers flowers from her maids
and distributes them to the jury -and
officers of the court. The judge ba
comos very mnoh infatuated with the
plaiutiff and the jury is also badly
smitten. It looks very bad for the do
fedndant, but the suit goes on. The
counsel then gives his opening plea to
the jury. The plaintiff is very much
overcome and atfer much attention
Bhe listens to the defendant, who
offers to marry both ladies if that will
be satisfactory. But the counsel dis
covers that fo marry two ladies at the
same time would be "burglary".
Since damages must be assessed the
plaintiff makes her plea to the jury,
and is answoved,by the defendant who
olaiun that he is a very bad man who
gets intoxicated and would kiok and
boat her, and consequently the dam
ages would be small. The judge then
deoides to get him intoxicated and let
him try, evoryone objouta, and the
judge gets mad and says that ho will
marry the plaiutiff himself.
