IN SOCIETY.

The second anniversary ball OF Court
Olive No. 1715 A. o. F. of A. was given

with the exquisitely draped ballroom,
presented beautiful scene.

event, and it is due largely to them that
this has been one of the most successful

The coinage Of Money in France

For several hundred years and down
to comparatively recent date, money
was coined at from twenty-five to thirty
different cities in Franco that had in
herited the privilege. Now all French
money is coined at the Paris mint and
bears, instead Of the effigy Of some dis
tinguished person, head representing
the republic, or liberty in the more
general sense.
Few French gold pieces are however
in circulation, except those bearing the
head of Napoleon LII, and silver pieces
of the same coinage are almost as COM
mon. French silver coins wear admira-
bly, and pieces of the reigns of Charles
K, Louis XVIII and Napoleon | are
very common. Chicago Tribune

G. Washington. MareohaI de France.

G. Washington. Marechal de France.
An interesting bit Of history was told
me lately by descendant of e. w
Parke Custis.
It seems that when, in 1881, the United
States sent to France special embassa-
dor some difficulty arose between him
and the French government as to the
command of the combined armies. Colo
mel Laurens, the ambassador, stated
very firmly that George Washington,
our chief, must command, "for it is our
cause, and the battle on our SOIL" The
etiquette of the foreign government,
however, exclaimed: "Cest impossibler
for here was Count Rochambeau, an old
lieutenant general, who could only be
commanded by the king in person or a
marechal de France.
The American wit of Colonel Laurens
flashed upon the situation a happy
thought He said: Make our Wash
ington marechal de France and the
difficulty is at an end" 1t was done.
Mr.. Custis continues that friend of his
heard General Washington spoken of as
monsieur le marechal at the siege of
, Yorktown. 5et
have heard that in some southern
home there is treasure, held beyond
price-even the antiquity hunters price,
and he who aspires to buy the bones of
his ancestors-an ancient porcelain mug.
on which is painted an effigy of Wash
ington on horseback, and underneath is
this inscription: George Washington,
Esq, General in chief Of the United
States Army and Marshal of France."-

THEY have bi-chloride of gold insti-
tuition at White Plains, New York, and
Walter B. Earle, man of some promi-
nence. who had been treated there, died
insane from the effects, as is alleged, of
the chloride of gold treatment. Mr..
Earle's friends have made his death the
subject OF severe criticism OF the Kelley
method of treating dipsomania, and
regular practitioners have Joined in the
outcry, which has resulted in the ap-
pointment ola special committee of the
New York legislature to investigate the
bi-chloride of gold cure. DR.. Edward G.
Hure of Rockford, ILL.,, has come forward
to denounce the Kelley method. He
says that the medical profession
are we'll advised of the for
mul@ used at the bi-chloride institutes,
and that atropine constitutes one of the
principal drugs administered as tonic.
He declares that atropine is one of the
most dangerous tonics known to medi-
cine, and that it should only be used by
a skilled physician, and then only in the
smallest quantities, as its effect is bane-
full to body and mind, producing too
often paralysis of the brain, heart and
kidneys. 1t would seem that DR.. Kee-
ley's method is about to undergo the
persecution which he prophetically de-
clared it would when its administration

1t DOES seem as if there were an epi
demic of crime all over the world
Homicide has become so common that
newspaper readers skip over ordinary
murders and whet their appetites upor
those that have sensational attach
menta. The double and treble murder
followed by the suicide of the murderer
has almost become standing tele'
graphic heading. An occasional parri
eide and matricide arrests the attention
and the shooting of suspected para
mours by jealous husbands is OF almost
daily occurrence.

Our hotels are stopping over with guests,
and all the country resorts are taxed to
furnish accommodations to the great
numbers of strangers who have come

The Woodbury. College nine and the
Reform School nine from Whittier will

The uniforms of the Los Angeles base
ball club were received yesterday from
Spaulding of Chicago and were placed

common defense, promote general well
fare and secure the blessings Of liberty
for ourselves and our posterity; we de-
clare that this republic can only endure
as a free government while built upon
the love Of the whole people for each
other and for the nation; that it cannot be
pinned together by the bayonet; that the
civil war is over and that every passion
and resentment which grew out Of it
must die with 1t, and that we must in
fact, as we are In name, become q united
brotherhood Of free men; our country
finds itself confronted by conditions for
which there ls no precedent In the world;
our annual agricultural productions
amount to billions of dollars In value,
which must In few weeks or months be
exchanged for billions of dollars worth
Of commodities of other productions;
the currency supply is wholly in
adequate to make this exchange, and the
results are falling of prices, the forma-
ton Of combines and rings and the Inn
poverlshment of the producing class; we
pledge ourselves that, If given the power,
we will labor to correct these evils
by wise and reasonable Legislation,
In accordance with the terms of our
platform; we believe that the powers Of
government, In other words, Of the peo-
pie, should be expanded (as in case of
the postal servlce) as rapidly and as far
as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings Of experience
shall justify, to the end that oppression,
injustice and poverty shall eventually
cease in this land. While our sympathieS,
as the party Of reform, are naturally
upon the side of every proposition which
will tend TO make men intelligent, Virtu-
GUS and temperate, we nevertheless re-
gard these questions, important as they
are, as secondary to the great Issues now
pressing for solution, and upon which
not only our individual prosperity, but
the very existence of our free institutions
depend; and we ask all men to help
us first to determine whether we are to
have the republic to administer before
we differ as TO the conditions upon which
1t Is to be administered; believing that
the forces Of reform this day organized
will never cease to move forward until
every wrong is remedled and lawful rights
and equal privileges securely established
for all men and women In this country;
we declare therefore:
First--That the union Of the labor
forces of the United States, this day con-
summated, shall be permanent and per-
petual; may It's spirit come into ali hearts
for the salvation Of mankind.
Second-We belongs to him who
creates it, and every dollar taken fr ?,
industry without equivalent is robbery.
"If any will not work, neither shall be
eat" The interests of rural and civic
lsborers are the same; their enemies are
identical.
Thlrd-We believe that the time has
come when railroad corporations will
either own the people or the people must
own the railroads, and should the gov
ernmsnt enter upon the work Of owning
and managing any and all railroads, we
should favor an amendment to the con-
stltution by which all persons engaged In
government service shall be place under

pie at tax not to exceed per cent. per

ance, or some better system; also by pay
ments in the discharge Of les obligations
for public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the legal
rsio Of is to 1.
We demand that the amount Of ciculat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
We demand graduated income tax.
We believe that the money Of the
country should be kept as much as poBsl-
bic In the hands of the people, and hence
we demand that all state andnational
revenues shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government economically
and honestly administered.
We demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government for
the safe deposit of the earnings Of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
Transportation - Transportation being
a method of exchange and public ne
cessIty, the government should own and
operate the railroads in the interest Of
the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the
postofice system, being a necessity for
the transportation of news, should be
owned and operated be the government
in the interest of the people.
Land Land, including all natural
sources Of wealth, is the heritage Of the
people, and should not be monOpolIzed
for speculative purposes, and the allen
ownership Of land should be prohibited.
All land now held by railroad and other
corporations, In excess Of their actual
needs, should be reclaimed by the gov
ernment and held for actual settlers only.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, Other questions having been
presented for our consideration, we hereby
suDmit the following, not as part Of the
platform of the Peoples party but as res
olutions expressive Of the sentiment Of this
convention:
Resolved, That we demand free ballot
and fair count in all elections, and pledge
ourselves to secure it to every legal voter,
without federal intervention, through the
adoption by the states Of the unperverted
Australian or secret ballot system.
Resolved, That the revenue received from
a graduated income tax should be applied
to the reduction Of the burden Of taxation
now resting upon the domestic industries of
the country.
Resolved. That we pledge our support to
fair and liberal pensions to ex-Union SOL
diers and sailors.
Resolved, That we condemn the fallacy
of protecting American labor under the
present system, which opens our ports to
the pauper and criminal Glasses Of the world
and crowds out our wage earners, and We
denounoe the present ineffective laws in re-
gard to contract labor, and demand the
further restriction Of undesirable imme-
grafton.
Resolved, That We cordially Sympathize

Echo. Paul will, while standing in
the light, listen, and from all the cir
cles of the ransomed. and from all
the many mansions whom he helped
to people, and from all the thrones
he helped to occupants, and from all
the gates he helped to throng with
arrivals, and from all the temples he
helped fill with worshipers, there
shall come back to him a glorious,
ever accommodating, transporting and
triumphant Echo
Oh, what will the tyrants and OPP
pressors of the earth do with the
Echoesl Those who are responsible
for the wars of the world will have
come back to them all the groans,
the shrieks, the cannonades, the
bursting shells, the crackle of burn
ing cities and the crash of nations
homes; Hohenlinden and Salamanca,
Wagram and Sedan, Marathon and
Thermopyle, Bunker Hill and Lex
ington, South Mountain and Gettys-
burg. Sennacherib, listen Semira-
mis-, listen Marc Antony, listenl
Artaxerxes, listen! Darius, listen!
Julius Caesar, listen! Alexander and
Napoleon, listen But to the right
eous will come back the blissful
Echoes.
Composers of Gospel hymns and
singers will listen for the return of
Antioch and Brattle Street, Ariel and
Dundee, Harwell and Woodstock,
Mount Pisgah and Coronation, Home
ward Bound and Shining Shore, and
all the melodies they ever started.
Bishop Heber and Charles Wesley
and Isaac Watts and Thomas Hast
ings and Bradbury and Horatius Bo-
mar and Frances Havergal listen!
But you know as well as l do that
there are some places where the
reverberations seem to meet, and
standing there they rush upon you,
they rain upon you, all at once they
capture your ear. And at the point
where all heavenly reverberations
meet Christ will stand and listen for
the resound of all his signs and
groans and sacrifices, and they shall
come back in an Echo in which shall
mingle the acclaim of a redeemed
world, and the "Jubilate Dec" of a
full heaven. Echo sanity, cherubic,
archangelic Echo of thrones! Echo
of palaces! Echo of templesl ON
nipotent Echo! Everlasting Echo!

An Acceptable Present at Any Time.

An Acceptable Present at Amy Time.
A well cared for hand is a fine point
in a beautiful woman. AS matter
of fact, the woman of today is too
busy to give her hand that perfect
rest which the idler does, and if she
writes, sews or paints her hand will
not be as white as my lady's whose
time hangs heavy. But little care
will keep the flesh soft and fine, the
nails well polished and well rounded.
A manicure case or a manicure set
is always an acceptable gift. The
silver sets on trays in stone finish"
and decorated in a pattern of
cherubs and rose garlands, cost from
800 to 5000. A set in a silver case
begins at $50, but very dainty sets of
three OF more pieces in ivory or pearl
cases and mounted in ivory cost IS
and $40. A very good manicure set
in a leather case, with steel instru-
ments, mounted in ivory or silver
plate, may be purchased for SIS.
All the essential articles in a mani
cure case are a nail file, with one tip
so shaped that it can be used to push
the flesh off the nail and the other
fitted with a point for cleaning the
nails; a pair of scissors, nailpad in
boat shape for polishing the nails,
and a tiny box of pink nail powder.
Some manicures use onguline for
polishing the nails and giving them
the roseate tint desirable. - New
