The M. E. Church at Locust

day night for the benefit of their
Pastor. 1t is remarkable that they
will resort to this method to raise
their portion of the preachers sala-

direct contribution, if it be properly
apportioned among the members
So there is no necessity in having
festivals or suppers for this purpose.
That man who got so drunk du-

Berlin, Jan. 2Sth.-ihe extraordinary
credit caused a sensation when the figure
was officially announced Thursday.
People qaietty held thsir breath in
amazement and anxiety. Not until to.
day has clamorous gossip about il be-
gan. Two opinions worth quoting are:
A person said in conversation: 1.-THE
amount is frightfully ominous consider
ing the large extra military credits given
during recent scares. Ii is o bad sign
that tie Wal minister refuses to declare,
as he did when the septennate bill pass
ep, that no more extra military credits
Will be needed. Bot the worst are also
the best signs to be together, namely ,
that the minister refuses to declare, I, r
military reasons. the way II which this
vast sum is to be expended and that he
Will be able to continue this reserve in
spite OF all parliamentary attempts to
question him. Germany military gov
eminent is really the security for
Europe's peace. 1t Germany were q.
constitutional country like France or
England, three parliamentary questions
concerning the real purpose of this ex-
~traordineiy and unexpected appropria-
ton would produce almost an instant
declaration OF war by at least one great
nation
Said another patriotic German, this
time of the military party: "Thanks to
French stupidity during the s%eptennGte
scare, we have q reiohstsP which will
silently give Germany all the money de-
manded by the unsettled state of
Europe. 1t is q large sum-, but it will be
granted as it should be and no questions
answered. Prince Bismarck Is coming
to Berlin to help the matter through.
It will be as pleasant to see him es it
has been to see the various Balkan
statesmen who have stopped recently
here en- route for Friederlschrule. But
he is not necessary. German patriotism
and the Paris papers insured Germany
for some years against parliamentary
meddllng."
