A MESSAGE IN RHYME.
The Mayor of Lancaster, Pa, Gives HI,
Inaugural in Doggerel.

luuuRurhi III ooRRcreis
The Hon. II. w. Carpenter, Mayor Of
Lancaster, Pa, has perpetrated an innova-
tion. His inaugural address is in poetry.
Here Is the remarkable document
To All Whom 1t May Concerns
We've never in Lancaster had an inaugural,
So the first one we have is given in doggerel.
! have studied and pondered and thought
'twoud be nice
TO give the saloonists little advice.
1t is cheaper than fines, and, TRUST, more
And as to my Office you know it's elective
So hope in the future you'll close up your
doors.
The first time it's my fault, the next time
its yours
That you opened on Sunday, or after the
hour
Allowed by the Council-rll apply all the
powers
Contained in the State or municipal code
And twill be your own fault II you're sent
DER the road.
] believe to start early he open and frank,
So III not be compelled to give YOU vank
That will quite incommode you In person
and purse
And know after one dose that you'll get
no worse.
Don't tool with the cops or entice them
TO drink.
Or from any duty to skrmish or shrink.
I'm a friend TO saloonists. one. each and all
And for my sake and yours don't one Of you
Into the belief that carp" will be easy,
For If you depart I'll make 1t quite breezy
Both in your neighborhood ana that Uf the
Jail.
Now don, you presume that ever will
Or throw up my hands when once well in
For think to be right is both just and
divine.
And II after two years of quiet and care
You make up your minds to oust Inc from
there
Put shoulder to wheel, and work with a
To quit me from Office that fail to fiji,
Don think for moment that Carp" Is q
fool
You'll make mistake If you break DER the
rule
A mistake it will be you will find to your
sorrow
When you settle up the morn of the morrow.
Here's another good subject: / think the
police
Need d little attention, instruction and
To oil up their joints and hasten their wavs
So they get in their thirty instead of ten
Every month, and take care to let alone
booze
And try to dispense with their sweet nightly
snooze.
For I'll be aronnd-Tm not hard to keep,
And no one can tell at what hour sleep.
I'll run the department, or bust up the
ranch,
I'll have no lieutenants or reference
branch"
There is an old saving'a new broom sweeps
clean"
But give YOU my word that say what
ineail--
You keep m your trace and "hoe your
own row.
And / will assure you things smoothly will

The closing bell will be rung tonight and
regularly her after at IL o'clock standard
time. All who are interested in Its ringing
will govern themselves accordingly, and all
who do not interest themselves in its ring
ing, will be governed accordingly.

THE GOLD RESERVE DEPLETED.
Fridays Heavy Gold Engagements Elk
haust tho Free Gold. The Matter
Discussed at Cabinet
Meeting.


At the cabinet meeting Friday morning
the financial situation it is understood, was
almost the exclusive topic of discussion
When the Treasury Department closed its
doors in the afternoon the gold reserve of
sl0O, ,ooo, 900 had been depicted to the ex.
tent of 81, 500 coo to 81, 1000 900.
When the day opened there was in the
Treasury $4,000 of Tree gold. This amount
was increased by gold offers from the West,
aggregating about sl,250.0O0. The large
shipment of gold from New York. amount
ing to more than s5,000,000, cut this down
to such an extent that when the cabinet
met Secretary Carlisle found that the orders
for gold M to that time had wiped out the
free gold, and invaded the gold reserve TO
the extent OF ~ 5o1 900. AS far as II can
be officially ascertained. this Is the amount
taken out oi the gold reserve Friday for ex-
port, although II is ,inoificially stated that
800 000 in gold, exclusive of that Ia ken out
at New York. has been withdrawn from the
sub.ueasury, at Boston ior export to Can
ada, making about ~ 000. 900 IN gold taken
out OF the country for shipment to- morrow.
IL is believed that this depletion is but
temporary and that within % few days the
depleted reserve will be restored to It's s-sh
ginsl e-~tl0o, 0O0,0o0, -

The New York "World'thns summarizes

a cholera epidemic is not probable. There is
