THE LADIES.

With the most intimate and heartfelt
feeling of gratitude, the Sisters of Charity of
Vancouver return thanks to Almighty God
and the generous people of Vancouver for
the success. surprising all expectations,
which attended their Annual Fair held for
the benefit of the orphans under their care.
Although they have recently contributed
over one thousand dollars to the re-ercction
of the st. Joseph's Hospital, which de-
structive fire reduced to ashes, yet their
charity ever alive to the wants of the poor
and the orphan, worked prodigies, and the
astonishing sum OF Sl,301.35 has been real
led May Almighty God bless them
The merchants and dealers of Portland de-
serve our special thanks for the many useful
and fancy articles which they so generously
contributed for the fair
The Cmcilan brass band of Holy Angels
College, deserves our greatest encomiums
for the really excellent music which they
discoursed during the three evenings Every
one was astonished at the proficiency of this

the attendants to the exquisite rendering of
some beautiful duets for cornet and violin
accompanied by the harmonium. To the
amateur musicians who joined the College
band, our most heartfelt thanks are given
In one word, may Divine Providence

The Ladies Guild of ST. Luke's parish,
Vancouver, W. T., heartily thank the peo
Pile of Vancouver who have so cheerfully and
Literally responded to their appeal for help
to pay the debt existing against st. Luke's
Church. The ladies have been for long
time striving to rid the Church of its in
debtedness, and paying little by little, had,
about ten days since, reduced it to one hun
dred and fifty dollars, and they then deter
mined to make strong effort to pay it all
before Thanksgiving Day; and, thanks to
those who have so generously assisted them,
the effort is now success, and, on Thurs
day next the congregation of st. Luke's will
meet and give thanks in church free from
debt. God bless the people.

CHURCH DEBT PAID Ladies' Guild
of st. Luke's Church in Vancouver, have
ucceeded durin 6 one year and half in
clearing up the entire church debt, the last
of which was paid this week, which makes

This has been noble work, and nobly have
these women fulfilled their self-imposed task,
which has not been light one by any means.
In this affair women's rights got away with

may they ever thus prevail.

The many friends of Colonel II. w. James,

here for some years, Will be panied to learn
that having recently lost his reason he is
now an inmate OF the Government Asylum
for the insane in Washington. The Army
and Navy Journal speaking of this case says:
''Col James visited the camp OF the Sd In
fantry on the Maras, and thence started for
Fort Shaw with an ambulance and single
soldier for escort. The next we hear of him,
Capt. Page, of the Sd Infantry, met him
wandering wildly and aimlessly across the
broad prairie. He was not long in ascer-
tanning the cause. Col James was poor,
ravins maniac Subsequently it was learned
that he had sent OF first his escort and then
his driver and had then chopped his ambu-
lance into tooth-picks with an AK, aud
burned it with all his papers. 1t should be
remarked here, however, that none of his
vouchers were among the papers destroyed,
and that his accounts were in all respects in
perfect shape.

The country has now reached point where
for the last four years and make a comprehen-
sive review of the situation. The most har-
dened enemy of capital, or the most depraved
socialist can hardly survey the field without
twinge of pain. The enyied lords of houses
and lands have been brought down in five
years in many instances TO be houseless, land
less and fortunoless, not through their own
prodigality or recklessness, but by the cramp-
ing and binding power of circumstances.
Their wealth has become first unproductive,
then burden, in some instances so heavy as
to crush them. There were number of New
York families whose real estate possessions
ten years ago were of almost fabulous value
and gave the owners almost feudal power and
importance. The richest of them probably
get "A sufficient return to pay expenses and
perhaps a small profit, and others have seen
their possessions quietly melt away to moth
ing. One man, who, ten years ago, used to
receive from rentals, etc, between $500, 900
and 5000, OO0a year, now has not n dollar left.
Uncle Peter Goelet, the bachelor millionaire,
has perhaps made something by the shrink
age in one direction while he has lost in 9TH
ers. He has been accustomed to pasture his
COW on land situated in the heart of the city,
and at the market price of real estate his milk
costs linn about $50 less on every quart than
formerly. Those who have survived the
shock may at last feel, however, rs if the tide
was about to turn, and all they need do is to
hold on and be carried safely to solid ground
