A PLEASANT sNTERrAINMENr AT rHn
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

PLEASANT ENTERTAINMENT AT rHn
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Last evening, a very pleasant sociabls
was held at the old First Presbv ter,an
Cnurch, corner of Tenth and Market
streets, ABOUT one hundred members and
trlends OF the church being present.
Inc exercises were opened by a chorus
saved oy Grace" and prayer by Rev.
%, Du val, pastor of the church. Then
followed an Interesting programmed Of
exercises, in which each participant. per-
formed his or her part to perfection. and
which was keenly enjoyed by all present.
Hymn, "Knocking, Knocking" by the
Select Reading, "Confessions of a
Bashful man." by Frank Emmons.
Solo, "Ellen Aileon," by Miss Maggie
Hayes. ee''
Humoroua Speech, subject, ga Bean
by Rev. f. B. DuVal.
Defamation, "Just Before the Battle, I"
BY. Miss Mamil Elliott.
Intermission for five minutes.
Then came the event of the evening,
and all were on the tip-toe of enjoyment
and expectation as the pastor arose and
presented to Prof Robert Wright, late
leader Iof the church choir, handsome
silver tea set of six pieces. The presen-
tation was mads on behalf ofthe church
and Sunday School, and in his remarks
the pastor feelingly alluded to the respect
in which Mr.Wright was held by his
church friends, and their regret at his
recent retirement from a position which
he had acceptably held for SO many
years.
Prof Wright was taken completely by
surprise, but he managed to control his
emotions sufficiently to admit of an ap-
propriate response. In his remarks he
gave brief history of the choir OF the
First Presbyterian. Church since he first
became connected with it in 1910. Since
that time he has beeu a constant men,
Der, in subordinate and leading positio ons.
The next event of the evening was an
invitation to supper, and the assembled
company repaired 70 the upper room,
where tables had been spread and sup.
Piled with all imaginary delicacies in the
culinary line. Until late hour this en-
joyment continued, and all retired to
their homes with the consciousness that
an evening had been pleasantly and pro'
fitably spent.
Great praise is due the committees
having charge ofthe affair, for their sue
cessful management, and kalso to Mr..
Lawton, of No. 603i Market street, who
furnished the necessary dishes for the
supper free of charge.

GERMANY WATCHING THE
FRENCH.

WHAT THB OLD SOLDIER Won MoLTKE
TOLD THE PARLIAMENT AT BERLIN.
In yesterdays sitting of the German
Parliament, the items of the war esti-
mates, which had been referred to the
Budget Committee, came up for discus
sion. The increased grant for 1O2 new
captaincies gave rise to a protracted de-
bate. General Won Moltke insisted ON
the necessity Of the grant. He said he
wished for a long peace, but the times
did not permit such hopes. On the con-
trary, the time was not tar distant when
every government would be compelled to
strain all its strength for securing its ex.
istence. The reason for this was the
regrettable distrust of governments
towards each other. France had made
great strides in her defences. Uncom-
monty large masses of troops were at
present between Paris and the German
froDtier. Everything France did for her
army received the undivided approval
of her people. She was decidedly in
advance of Germany in having her cddres
for war ready in times of peace. Germa-
ny could not avoid a measure destined
to compensate for it. The increased
grant for captaincies was then adopted.
The. Progress, Centre, and Socialist
parties voted against it.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In late issue of the
GAZETTE. you state that my lands
were sold and bid in at $12, 600, and
that my Indebtedness to the bank was
nearly $4,000. For the information
OF the public, will here state that my
heavy Indebtedness to the bank was
caused by my being robbed by villains
of nearly $40, 900 by the aid of that in
famous Bankrupt Law passed for the
benefit of rogues and rascals, who are
ready to commit perjury If necessary
to carry out their nefarious swIndles.
Such a law is a disgrace to the civiliz.
alton of the age, and all those persons
who use this law to swindle their cre-
.ditors should not escape the punish-
ment they justly deserve.

- ~ SUGAR BEErs.r 3 Z H9E ~
Mr.. EDIToR:-DuriDg the session OF
our late Legislature, the beet root
sugar project of enriching our State
ran rampant. particularly in Whining
ton. The great stricklers for this new
project waited with breathless anxiety
fer an appropriation from the State Of
one thousand dollars, to make the
great experiment that was to work a
new revolution in agriculture and
make this State as rich AS cream. The
beet rOotists were finally eased down on
an appropriation of five hupdred dol
lars, and / see by the papers the COM
mittee having this momentous subject
in charge, have met and after making
an appropriation of fifty dollars to
themselves, and stating some small
amount of seeds would be distributed,
adjourned the matter for another year
saying q good crop of beets could moi
be raised unless preparations of the
ground was commenced the fall and
winter previous. What stuff. There
was since the appropriation was made,
and is now, plenty of time to grow
a crop of sugar beets for an experiment
and TO prove what / here state, will
grow few just to show that it can be
done this year and have not bought
the seed yet. l fear this beet root su.
gar appropriation will go the road Of
the Centennial Stock, 1t is too bad fol-
these sugar beetisis after raising far.
mers expectations to become suddenly
rich this fall from beet root sugar tc
have that bright hope adjourned fol
another year. What is the matterf Is II
the certain prospect OF proving this
beet root sugar business q humbug, Of
is the affair done up in red tape. thai
will require another year to undo it.
