Evening Meeting.

DIR. MURPHY OF NEW YORK TALKS TO OVER
 THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE AT CENTER CHURCH
 LAST EVENING.
 About three hundred ladies and gentlemen attended the exercises given at Center church last evening for the benefit of the Ladies' Seamen's Friend society, at which Rev. Dr. Smyth presided. After offering prayer the Rev. Dr. Smyth introduced the speaker of the evening. Dr. Murphy, who for the past twenty years has been pastor of the New York Port society's church in New York city. Dnring his address Dr. Murphy said: Sailors are not as wicked as landsmen. The sailor likes after he comes into port to have 8 good time, and he spends his money freely, but he is not wicked like the landsman, and you very seldom see one arrested in New York city. For over twenty-one years I have been connected with the Seamen's soeie- ty in New York, and have every day in the week been in contact with them, and have the honor to preach to them in my church, The sailors are very easily affected in a Christian way. Dr. Murphy's address was very interesting.

1 Ghe New Church on Ferry Street.
 Cedar RiSl-Its Dedication on Next Thursday Evening.
 The new church on Ferry street was par. tially of ened Sunday. The Sunday school room was used both afternoon and evening | Fifteen new scholars were enrolled in the l Sabbath school and the number at the even- ! ing preaching service were manifestly in- | creased.
 The dedicatory service is to be held On Thursday evening of this week at 7:3O o'clock. Rev. Dr. J. E. Todd will preacl. the dedicatoIy sermon. Rev. E. Cunning
 ham, Rev. Dr. MeLane, Rev, MT. Meserve l and others are expected to take part in the service. The next Sunday evening service will be held in the auditorium. The pastor, Rev. Norman Plass, thinks that the audi ence will be permanently increased with the. opening of the church. Many in the imme diate neighborhood, both of regular atter dants and non-church goers, have signi6ed their intention of attending here. It is onls question of time when strong church will be founded i'll this section of the city.
 This (Tuesday) evening will find the Sun day school room crowded with pleasure seek ers, and the indications are that they will not go away disappointed as the miscellaneous bazaar promises to be great success.
 The carpets will be put down in the audi torium of the new church today or to-mor- row. The church is heated by steam. The pipes have been painted bronze color. The Sunday school room is about double the size of the little mission room on Middletowu avenue. The appearance of the interior of the new place of worship is plain but at tractive. The cost of the church will be nearer s12, ,0OO than $1O,00O, the amount of cost originally contemplated by the generous donor Mr. Camp.

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1885-10-10


The Boston Commercial Bulletin of
recent date furnishes the following
interesting statistics;
Although the aggregate amount of
money in the United States at the
present time is greater than ever be-
fore in the history of the country, yet
it must be remembered our population
is also greater. The report of the
Comptroller of the Currency stated
the total amount of coin and currency
in the United States as 81 ,54l ,58s, lao,
With a present population of $1,000,
900, this would give circulation of
about $27 per capita.
The aggregate of coin and currency
in this country in l864-87 was 100
to 1900 million dollars, or about 400
million dollars less than to-day; but
our population then WAS only "a to 80
million souls, and the circulation per
capita consequently amounted to $2s
so in 1854, $500 in 1865, and $40.
So in 1857.
In 1878 the whole amount of coin
and currency in the country had been
reduced 1885,, ,0Oo,o 900, or only $9l32
per capita, An increased use Of checks
and drafts, together with clearing
houses and other modern methods of
facilitating exchanges, are supplying
the place Of money to some extent.
But as population increases there
should be an enlargement of the vol
nme OF circulating medium.
II gold should 60 to premium be-
cause of the coinage, and the $685.
100000 of gold coin and bullion now
IN the United States should thus be
converted into merchandise, 1the re-
suit would be a contraction Of the cur
rency TO less than $l,000,000,000, or
about $3.50 per capita,
This would be smallercircnlation
per inbabitant than in any previous
year since 1868.
