Young Mems Christian Association Notes.
The Week of Prayer observed by all
Young Mems Christian Associations
throughout the world will long be re-
membered by many young men and wo-
men as the date which marked a great
change in their lives. The services con-
Quoted by Messrs. Hoople and Milbury
were blessed TO the extent of over fifty
souls deciding for Christ, and further
the amount of good they have done in
awaking the people generally to their
duty cannot well be over estimated.
They received an urgent call from the
ministers and the Association to spend
another week here, but their private
business interests prevented.
On the Goth inst, the second enter
tainment of the course the Association is
presenting will be given. G. E. Bolton
of Cleveland, Ohio, will present his ele-
gantly illustrated lecture, Russia and
the Romanoffs." AS Mr.. Bolton has
travelled all over Russia and personally
photographed the views he has, and fur
ther this same lecture has been given be-
fore crowded houses in our large cities,
is sufficient to assure n crowded hall.
The tickets including reserved seats will
be fifty cents. Owing to the large ex-
pense incurred in presenting this enter
tainment the members of the Association
will only receive one ticket admitting
them to the gallery of the hail. which
will be exchanged for reserved seat on
payment of twenty-five cents extra. The
Association will always try to adopt a
liberal course with its membership re-
garding these entertainments, but the
Burbank affair proved that it had been
| too liberal.

Organizer Pierce spoke to small au-
dience in this village Saturday afternoon
and temporary organization was eff
fected with Chas. ii. lockwood, chair
man and b. e. Bliss secretary. The per-
manent society it is expected will be
formed tonight at the Board of Trade
rooms. Some of the objects of ii ALI
ance we are in favor of, for instance the
effort to form anindependent Agricultur-
al College, but many of their pet schemes
are both wild and ruinous. We note that
the Democracy claim all their strength
in Congress and that it is Democratic
papers generally that are enthusiastic
over the organization, report and com
mend their speeches as good Democratic
dOctriue. In Vermont no doubt the ALI
ance will fall largely into Republican
hands, but in the West, like Third Party
Prohibitionists, their strength is given
to the party of obstruction and free
trade. A dispatch from Washington of
Monday gives these particulars:
Senator Sherman, referring to the
prospect of financial agitation in the next
Congress and to the schemes of the
Farmers Alliance, says there is no OBJ
lection to large circulating medium
provided it is redeemed in gold and sill
yer coin. We have learned that all other
currency is failure. During the war
We had to issue paper. 1t was an impera-
tive necessity and L voted for the bill.
After awhile the value of the money be-
gan to decline until it was worth only
forty cents on the dollar. We had a
great struggle to get back to par, but
when we reached that point prosperity
was assured. OF course there will
always be people who will honestly be-
| lieve in fiat money, but such currency
must inevitably bring us to rum. Down
in South America is an actual illustra-
ton of the workings of the Farmers
Alliance plan and its result. The Argen-
tine Republic was one of the most pros
porous countries in South America. 1t
tried the plan of loaning money on every
thing and it has been wrecked, nearly
carrying the great house of Barring
Brothers down with it. Gold was at a
premium of lGl in the Republic. 1t is a
country with climate and many other
characteristics similar to this. 1t can
hardly be possible that what has proven
so disastrous to the Argentine Republic
will ever reach even an experimental
stage in the Republic of the United
States.

The suit, Simeon Green against Chas
Bent, came off Wednesday afternoon. II
was for damages to a carriage, by being
run into last summer, when the driver
was in state of intoxicatiOn. There
was no defense made to the act itself but
as to the amount of damage. A jury
was summoned, but did not agree. W.
H. Mason for plaintiff, Judge Darling
for defendant.
1t is always painful to record the re.
verses of fortune of our business men,
but as a faithful chronicler of public
events it becomes our duty to 10 it, as II
did that of all New York Journals in the
cases of the failures of the large banking
houses, lately in that city, that the
mOnied institutions of the country might
thoroughly understand the situation and
by wise forethought and sagacious man
agement save general crash and wide
spread ruin. A house, which has been
standing for over forty years, has been
used for nearly or quite two months by
firm doing a large business in peanuts,
lemons, candy, ETC., ETC., has been
obliged to dissolve and wind up its af-
fairs. 1t is estimated, all the figuring
not yet having been made, that the as
sets will come up to nearly one ten thou
sandth of millionth of thousand dol
lars. The immediate cause of the giving
out is not known, but shrewd financial
experts suggest it must be the effects OF
the Mckinley bill on the price of bananas
and oysters, or, which is more likely, the
reaction consequent on the news of the
Barring Brothers little trouble, in theil
money matters over the sea.

The Troy Press of Friday contained
the following:
"The State Board of Claims this morn
ing handed down decision on the claim
of Col. Jerome b. Parmentcr of Benning
ton, formerly publisher of the Press
awarding him the full amount of his
claim against the State for state print
ing. 1.-THE total amount of the claim with
interest, which is also granted, is ovel

"The claim arose under Col. Parmen.
ter's contract with the State in 1876, to
do the legislative printing for two years,
The contract provided for a gross sum
each year, and also for printing done not
for the use of the Legislature at itemized
rates given in the proposals. The comp.
troller paid the gross sums, but refused
to pay the bills for the extra printing on
the ground that he did not know wheth.
er they were legal. Suit was brought
and the matter was referred to Patrick
Cowen of Saratoga, and he decided that
| Col Parmenter was entitled to $4,000
for his extra claim for the first year s
work. When the contract expired Col.
Parmenter presented his full claim on
the basis of the referees decision, and
objection was raised to it again. Suit
was commenced second time, and the
attorney general put in an answer. The
action was on the calendar for a long
time before Judge Westbrook, and the
latter died without rendering decision.
X. A. Parmenter, the claimants brother,
then had special act passed by the leg
islature referring the matter to the State
Board of Claims. The case was argued
and submitted some months ago and to-
day X. A. Parmenter received notice that
the claim had been granted as stated
above"
We are glad to record this item of
news. From the beginning we have felt
assured of the business of Col. Parmen-
ter's claim. 1t was for work honestly
done, and the money should have been
paid years ago. We hope Col. Parmen-
ter may live to enjoy this money to tar
Oily paid by the Empire State.

Considerable interest has been aroused
in Methodist church circles by the story
that Miss Frances Wizards friends are
making an effort to have her elected a
bishop of that denomination. The recent
AGITATION of the question as to whether
or not women are eligible for service as
delegates to the general conference, 1t
is said. is due to the desire of these
friends to secure the position for the
great temperance advocate. Presiding
Elder Truesdell says in regard to the
matter:
"The question is, shall women as lay.
men be eligible to represent local
church in the lay electoral college and
vote for delegates to the general con
ference? If so, should woman secure
enough votes she would be eligible to
seat In the general conference as lay
delegate. As to any woman's eligibility
to be elected to any office in the church
such as editor, agent, secretary or bishop
Id depends entirely upon whether she car
get majority of votes, lay and clerical
in the general conference. 1t ordinarily
takes $50 votes to secure an election
So YOU see, Miss Wizards election y
the position Of bishop depends, onl!
indirectly, upon the admittance OF la!
delegates to the general conference. Al
to her candidacy have heard nothing
but If she can secure the required mum
Der of votes she will certainly secure tn
position"

North POwnal,

G. w. Reynolds, writing to the New
York Tribune from Franklin, n. Y, says
"The Cincinnati Times-Stdr speaks OF
Lilcoln's log cabin home and Garfield's
log cabin school house in Brush Creek,
Ohio, as likely to appear at the Chicago
Worlds Fair. If the writer will go to
Pownal, the southwest town of Vermont,
he will find a school house in which two
Presidents of the United States both
kept school, Garfield and Arthur. Dur.
ing their student life in Williams College
near by; the first was enerL teacher
of the public school, and the latter had a
writing school: both to help along on
the expenses of their college course. Can
another school house be found in which
two Presidents have been teachers? This
school house would look well at the Fair
flanked by the two log cabins" We are
sorry to take even the romance OF
school house, out of this fact Of his
tory, but the truth remains that these
schools were kept in the basement of the
Congregational church in this village
BY all means have the church building
with its flank of the two school houses
built of logs. even if the structure has
been modernized.
