EyTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, June 30.--At 6 o'clock
this evening the following proclamation
was issued:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Washington. D.
c., June 30, 1898.
Whereas, The distrust and apprehen-
sion concerning the financial situation
which pervade all business circles have
already caused great loss and damage to
our people and threaten to cripple our
merchants, stop the wheels of mdnufac
ture, bring distress and priyation to our
farmers and withhold from our working
men the wage of labor; and
Whereas, The present perilous condi-
ton is largely the result of a financial
policy which the executive branch of the
government finds embodied in unwise
laws which must be executed until re-
pealed by Congress;
And now, therefore, l, Grover Cleve-
land, president of the United States, in
performance OF constitutional duty,
do, by this proclamation, declare that an
extraordinary occasion requires the con-
vening of both houses of the Congress
of the United States at the capitol in the
city of Washington on the seventh day
of August next at II o'clock, noon, to
the end that the people may be relieved,
through legislation, from present and
impending danger and distress.
All those entitled to act as members
of the SD Congress are required to take
notice of this proclamation and attend
at tho time and place above stated.
Given under my hand and the seal of the
United States at the City of Washington,
the 3Oth day of June, in the year of ouI
Lord 1898 and of the independence OF
the U nited States the 117th.

A DESCENDANT OF GOVERNOR
TRYON

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives the following interesting
information: 1t may be of interest to
some of your readers to know that Vice
Admiral Sir George Tryon, who wet
down with the battleship Victoria on
Thursday afternoon, was the great
grandson of the late English Governor
of New York; also that physically, he
resembled General Hancock. The Adj
miral, writing from Malta in May, 1892,
remarks: II am sorry to say that l
know of no existing portrait or mlnia-
ture of my ancestor, William Tyron, who
was Governor of New York. On a pre-
vious occasion endeavored to find one,
but without success. | greatly regret
it, for am proud to think that had an
ancestor in America in the early part of
its history, who was of some use in his
day. and who was respected by both
sides, as believe he was. -
The English Governor, it may as well
be mentioned, was cordially detested by
the patriots of North Carolina and New
York, for his exceedingly rigorous adj
ministration of those colonies from 1865
until 1779, and for the inhumanity he dis
played on various occasions, especially
for the destruction of DaEbury, Fairfield
and Norwalk, Conn, by expeditions that
he commanded in person. He resigned
the governorship of New York in March,
IT'S, and returned to London, where he
died Lieutenant General in 1888, while
his gallant and valiant greatgrandson, at
the same age, was drowned off the East
ern shore of the Mediterranean, where
he had been in command of the British
fleet for several years.

LAST week we copied an article of the
post-Revolutionary period in Middle
Granville, N. Y, in which a reference
was made to the battle of Bennington,
and one of the actors was Capt. Asaph
Cook. Capt Cook was one of the prin-
cipal movers in organizing the first
church in that vicinity, which is in ex-
istence to-day, with the Rev James L.
Harrington, Bennington boy, as pastor.
The present building was erected in
1875, consequently centennial celebra-
ton is in order couple of years hence.
The church was organized April IS, 1882,
and its pastor from October, 1S47 to

istrations of Mr.. Harrington, who has

GREAT WEST:
Song of the Goldbug

One by one the dimes are going;
One by one the quarters fall;
Some are rusty, some are glowing;
Let us strive to catch them all.
One by one thy bargains wait thee;
Let thy whole mind 60 to each;
Let no future hopes belate thee;
Grasp all things within your reach.
One by one the poor shall meet thee;
Do not fear the beggar band.
One will die as others greet thee,-
Want and famine in the land.
Do not think of other duties,
See how short the time we stay.
Golden dollars are such beauties
We must make them while we may.
Every hour is but the summons;
To the task of making more;
When we've laid away our millions,
Wen be safc forever more.
Safe from want, and toll. and taxes;
Safe from punishment for sin.
Safe from everything that vexes;
If you've only got the tin"
