MARION CLEVELAND.
That Is the Name of the President's Young
 est Daughter.

est Daughter
 BUZzARDs BAY, Mass, July 20.-Mari- on, French rendition of the musical name Mary, has been decided upon by President and Mrs. Cleveland as the name for the baby born to them about two weeks ago. The fact was officially an- nounced by Private Secretary Thurber, and the many residents of this vicinity who have been waiting patiently to learn what the third daughter in the presidents family would be called took up the news, and the name was soon being repeated in every household. -
 There was no unusual ceremony attend ant upon the naming of the baby except that which occurs in any household upon such occasions. MT. Thurber was with the president all day, but it cannot be learned that his opinion was asked or that he has any other part in the proceedings than to make the announcement.
 When it became known that the name Marion had been selected the good wives of Buzzards Bay at once inquired for whom the child was named. To this there could be obtained no other answer than that the name was suggested by that of the beautiful spot on the shores of Buz- Zards bay in which the president and his wife passed several months previous to their selection of Gray Gables as the site of their summer home-Marion, Mass. Mrs. Cleveland has often been heard to praise the beauties of that locality, and it is thought that her warm appreciation of it was not without influence in directing the choice of Private Secretary Thurber and his family thither.
 It was the general verdict in the village that Marion was a fitting name to compile ment those of the other children-Ruth, Esther, MariOn-three matter of fact yet pleasing names, and the mothers in Buz- zards Bay have repeated them over in their comments on tho subject and have nodded their heads in grave approval, as if the matter was of personal concern to them

THE BANK NOTE BOYCOTT.
A Treasury Official Says It Would Only Con-
 tract the Currency.

A Treasury Official Says It Would Only Con-
 tract the Currency.
 WASHINGTON, July 20.-At the treasury department it was said that the plan of Mir. Sovereign of the Knights of Labor of boycotting national bank notes, if carried out, would prove more harmful than bepe- f1cial to the labor interests of the country, as it would contract the currency to the extent of $211, 1000, 900 without injuring the national banks.
 "It would not hurt the national banks at all," said MT. o. P. Tucker, deputy comptroller of the currency. "If people should refuse to receive their notes, the banks would simply present them to the United States treasury for redemption and receive legal tender notes, which they would continue to use in their business. The only effect would be to withdraw that much money from circulation, as repre- sented by the amount of notes redeemed.
 ''It is true that under the law the &C., ceptance of national bank notes cannot be enforced, and no man can be compelled to take them as legal tender. The fact that they are accepted in every day transactions is because the government is behind them and stands ready at any moment to re- deem them with legal tender. An effort to discredit national bank notes would therefore be an attempt to deprcciato the governments currency. There arc only $211, 900, 900 of national bank notes in cir culation, while there are $950 900, 900 of other kinds of money outstanding"

 LONDON, July 20.-There was an aniInat- ed scene at Covent Garden when the first consignment of California fruit for this year was sold at auction. It consisted of 245 boxes of Bartlett pears, 311 boxes of plums and 206 half boxes of pears. There was large crowd of buyers Owing to the drought in England and France, fruit is scarce. When White & Co.,, the auction ecrs, said, "Now place the California fruit in the market, " there was a mad rush for all the available places.
 The California fruit, which was shipped here on the steamship Paris of the Ameri- can line, was found to be in fine condition, hard and firm.
 The first lot disposed of consisted o1 pears packed by the National Fruit com pany of Sacramento. They sold quickly at 25s. So eager were the bidders that there were frequent disputes among them.
 A prominent fruit merchant said at O. vent Garden:
 This is the best fruit we get in Lon. don. It weighs more and is therefore bet ter for the London market, where fruit is sold by the pound. The dealers find no trouble in disposing of all their purchases before night"
 The sale of California fruit brought ex- traOrdinary prices.

Dearborn Street Baptist church, Buffalo, won the banner for the Bible readers course. The conquest missionary course banner went to the First Baptist church of Quincy, Ills The banner for the sacred literature course was won by the First Baptist church, Amherst, N. &

 "We, the Baptist Young Peoples Union of America, in convention assembled, rec ognize the first day of the week as tho Lords day and as the day set apart by the laws of the land as the day of weekly rost from secular toll; therefore be it
 Resolved, That we will, by influence and example, seek to promote a better Ob- servance of the day as the day of rest and worship, and that to this end we will use all proper means to secure the enforcement of the Sunday laws, to discourage the pub= icatiOn and circulation of the Sunday newspaper, the running of Sunday excur- sions and the opening of places of public amusement contrary to the law.
 Resolved, That we extend our hearty sympathy to the noble people of Texas, who are now using all their powers to pre- vent the occurrence of the proposed Cor bett- -Fitzsimmons fight in the Lone Star State under the conviction that such a fight would tend to demoralize not only Texas but the whole civilized world. "
 The report was unanimously adopted.
 At l o'clock this morning the board of managers voted to hold the international convention of the Baptist Young Peoples Union of America in Milwaukee in 1896 and in Brooklyn in 1897.

 ''I am a personal friend of Senator Cameron, and our official relations are the most agreeable.

L1RELLING UNCLE SAM.

LIBELLING UNCLE SAM.
 When an individual attempts to break down another individuals credit by mis- representing his affairs the libelled iudivld- ual can appeal to the courts. and by prov ing the libel have the hbslIer punished. But the United States government has no such redress. When an apparently con- certed attempt to injure the credit of the government and bring on another financial panic such as is being made by those re- publican papers which are printing sensa- tional and in many instances entirely false accounts of the governments financial af- fairs, the government can only appeal to the common sense and fairness of the people,
 There is nothing either alarming or un- expected about the condition of the coun- try's finances. As was expected, the ex- penditures during the first half of July were largely in excess of the receipts. The reason is obvious. Of the $29, ,000, ,00O which have been paid out this month $11, . GOO. .O0O have gone to pay pensions, about S7. .000,0 ,000 to pay interest on bonds, in cluding those of the Pacific railroads, and more than SC. 900. 900 has been paid out under the appropropriations made by the last congress, which became available on the first of July.
 Some republican pa ers in their anxiety to bring on another financial panic, or al least stop the revival of business which is sweeping over the country. have gone SC f IT as to say that the revenues of the gov ernment were falling off PArtisanship is no excuse for such willful misstatement as that On the contrary. the revenues foI the first half of July were much larger than the receipts for the same period last year. The United States treasury is all right. and likely to remain SO as long as il is i1 charge of democrats.
