ANNUAL ELECTION.

Everythlng more Harmonious Than Was Expected at the Meeting of the Young Mems Republican club.
 The annual election of officers of the Young Mems Republican club was held last evening. That there is apathy in the club was clearly shown last night. At eight o'clock there were not more than dozen out of the six hundred members present, but later on the number increased to about forty. There wasn't much of a contest over the election, or the passing of the amendments. The most lively scene of the evening was when President Manson tried to have COURIER reporter elected, while the reporter of another paper was allowed to stay. The other reporter happened to be a member of the club. A motion was made that all business be suspended until the COURIER rec porter withdrew, but he didn't go until the other reporter went also. The report of the secretary was submitted. It showed that there were 554 members of the club in good standing, and with cadets the membership was 621. The total mem bership at this time last year was 743. There are many members who have not paid their dues, and who have keys to the club room: In order to have the room for the exclusive use of regular members new l lock will be secured.
 The amendments to the constitution as printed in yesterdays COURIER were passed. | The only one which occasioned any talk was | that which provided that hereafter no cadets | be admitted to the club. The vote, however, was nearly unanimous on it's passage.
 The nominating committee made it's report | It was recommended that O. B. Matthewman be elected president.
 | A motion was made that his election be made unanimous.
 Frank Rice objected. He presented the name of John W. Lowe of the Second ward. A ballot was taken, which resulted:
 Matthewman 30, Lowe 8, blank 3. MT. Astthewman was then unanimously l elected
 Henry E. Marsh and s. M. Smith were ap- | pointed 8 committee to escort the newly elected president to the chair. As he was waiting outside, it took but few seconds before his face appeared in the door. On taking the chair, he made 8 brief speech, thanking the members for the honor which had been conferred upon him. He was heartily applauded.
 Patience always receives it's reward. MT. Matthewman was defeated for the presi- dency last year, but he got there this time.
 The rest of the slate went through all right. It is: First vice president, l.. w. Hall; second vice president, Minor T. Chatfield; secretary, A. 0. Benedict; assistant secretary, J. w. Lowe; treasurer, E.. N. Allen; sergeant-at- arms, F.. E. Turner; executive committee, John T. Manson, A. M. Hitler and w. T. Bartlett. 7-e
 MT. Hitler just managed to be elected. Fred Hotohkiss' name was presented against him. There were 28 votes cast, and 15 were necessary to choice. MT. Hitler received just the necessary number.
 Several committees were appointed, to- gether with ward committees.
 It was decided to have the annual banquet of the club at the Hyperion on January 13 and a committee was appointed to have charge of the arrangements.

Christmas as English Hall Yesterday
 Afterno0n.
 Yesterday afternoon English Hall was filled to overaowing by the children con. neoted with the English Hall Sunday School, their parents and families. Full three hundred and fifty persons were gathered to- gether to take part in the exercises, listen to the music and addresses, get glimpse of Santa Claus and share in his hospitality. The singing was conducted by Mr. Weiss of the Yale Seminary and the orchestral music was rendered by Nessrs. Lines, Hughes and others. The scripture reading was by MT. Mosman and after prayer by Prof. Harris, Rev. MT. Nichols of Trinity church made very interesting address to the children. Following the regular exercises Ellery Camp impersonated Santa Claus bestowing some valuable present upon each member of the school. All the children present received . oranges and pop corn balls. This school is especially designed to reach children not regularly attending any other school, the desire being through this school to bring such children eventually into relations with regular church Sunday schools.

Sterling-Its Origin,


 Once the popular name of German traders in England, whose money was of the purest quality. In the time of Richard I. money coined in the east parts of Germany became of special request in England for the purity thereof. Afterward some people in that country skilled in mint matters and alloys were sent into this realm to bring the coin to perfection, which since that time has been called sterling.
 STERLING-ITs MEANING:
 Genuine, pure. as belonging to or relating to British coinage, now chiefly applied to the lawful money of England, where it is at pres ent illegal to stamp an article sterling that is not of the quality of their coin, nine hundred and twenty five one-thousandths pure silver. Numerous articles are being made in this country of base metal (mostly lead) with a coating of silver on the outside and stamped sterling. The result is misleading, as it does not imply the standard required by British law or the intent of the American silver smiths who first used the word in connection with their wares to indicate that they were nine hundred and twenty-five one-thou- sandths pure silver, or the quality of British sterling.
