ercises, Which Promise Great Results.

aries and to share in the spiritual blessings
which missien always brings with it. After

necessary to open the lower church. Over
1000 persons approached the sacraments.

SOLVING FINANCIAL PROBLEM
Ladies of Lincoln Relief Corps Replenish
an Empty Treasury

The ladies of Lincoln Relief Corps, No. 6,
gave a pleasing little entertainment last
evening at their headquarters, in the hall on
The corner OF Seventh and L streets north
west, for the purpose of replenishing their
treasury, that has suffered depletion by the
exacting demands upon it for charitable pur-
poses.
Some of the striking attractions of the pro-
gramme were a vocal solo by Miss Norton,
German character representations by Mr..
Henry NJ. Weber, whistling solo and imita-
tious by Mr.. Milton NJ. Clark, some fancy
dancing by little Misses Anna and Mary
Keene, and the instrumental music.
The latter feature was supplied by a COM
pany OF young gentlemen who constitute the
Montrose Mandolin and Guitar Club within
which is separate organization known as
the Mount Pleasant Brass Quartet. The boys
took the house by storm, as did the magnifi-
cent imitator, Mr. Clark.
The Mandolin and Guitar Club is composed
of Ed. Halcer. leader; Henry Modert. Joe
Benner, Will Emerson, Jesse Vemeyer. George
Weber, Frank Nelson, and Ed. Shipley; the
quartette included Andrew Lewis and Will,
Ben, and Henry Modert
The ladies who managed the affair were:

foregoing programme. The music for the
hop was provided by the Pennoyer Orchestra,
composed of Mrs. X. NJ. Phillips. pianist; W.
A. Pennoyer, pianist, and Frank L. Stevens,

The corps has a well equipped sewing cir

probably other entertainments later.

The PACIFIC RAILRoAns

il hardly seems reasonable that Congress
OF honest men would consider a proposition
10 refund the Pacific Railroad debts. The dis
cussion in the house shows that the attempt to
extend the time of payment is only a subter-
fuge to protect the original debtors from
prosecution. 1t is well known that colossal
fortunes were amassed by fraud ar the time
Of the construction Of the railroads, and it is
in keeping with that fraud that an attempt
should be made to protect its perpetrators.
The following address. prepared at mon
ster mass-meeting at San Francisco, fully ex-
plains the situation:
There is not an honest and able lawyer or
judge in the United States that does not know
thar. independent Of the liability OF stock
holders under our California law. such trans
actions as these can be reached through
established processes of equity, and Mr..
Huntington and the representatives of his
deceased associates be forced to disgorge
their plunder. No one who Investigates the
question can fail TO ascertain that the object
OF these funding bills is to condone personal
responsibility: to legally sanction the wreck
ing of the c. p. II. Il. Co.. and TO consecrate
10 Mr.. Huntington the accumuations which
be actually uses to debauch politics and law.
In this State. with all our long submission
20 this lntolerable tyranny, We feel that we are
Americans in fact and in sentiment, and were
born with all the rights supposed 10 be secured
blythe Declaration Of Independence and by our
Federal and State Constitutions. If we are
10 be sold 10 Mr.. Huntington and his asso-
ciates let the bill Of sale be officially promul-
gated not through such funding bill as has
been proposed. but directly and positively
We have built up and sought TO develop a
great State as an integral part OF the Ameri-
can Union. We have contributed MAI Y hun
dreds OF millions to the wealth of the ma
tion. We have largely, though unwillinSly,
done the work, out Of which the private
fortunes OF these railroad millionaires.
who now seek TO extinguish even the
equity OF redemption. have been constructed.
We stood by the Union with men and with
money when it needed help. Why should we
be reduced 10 utter slavery and comparative
poverty through funding bill passed by the
representatives of our sister States, which,
while they can not be exempted from the de-
moralization which such condition reveals,
will scarcely feel the flnan cial burden they
impose on Us. 1t is full time that California
should be treated. not as a dependent pro-
vince, but m American State, and that
criminality, hedged only by money and fraud,
should not exercise an overpowering in
huence over US in our national councils.
The Washington times., 1895-02-02
A cRFpITABzE CONDITION.

It is creditable 10 our labor organizations
thar none Of their members ale dependent
upon public charity during this extremely
trying winter. Such OF them as are out of
employment and in need are taken care OF
by their brethren. and the people OF the Dis
ttiet are neither taxed nor requested 10 pro-
vide them with fuel OF food. This condition
demonstrates the value of organization. and
shows how necessary it is for wage-earners
10 have something besides public sympathy
10 rely upon when in trouble or distress.
Fraternity is the best of cIvilizers. and as a
means OF levehng condi ions and encourag-
ing thrift its value should not be under-esti-
mated The mingling of men and women in
the discussion of measures TO promote the
welfare Of each other inspires ambition and
leads 10 better efforts. There is also a ten
dency to help those who fail TO appreciate
the necessity OF self-esteem, and the lessons
inculcated in the ritual ceremonies have a
beneficial effect
1t is true that labor organizations some
times make the mistake OF following the ad-
vice 0i demagogues, and they do it contrary
70 the rules of their organizations. Ii would
be much better for society in general if wage
earners were more thoroughly organized.
There would be Jess immortality, less drunk
enness, and less crime. Men must lie good
citizens TO entitle them 10 the benefits of fra
ternal associations, and iflabor organizations
were more generally encouraged working
men would make greater efforts to be more
worthy Of fraternal recognition.

AID FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

The offer OF TIE TINES TO publish free no
tices OF Help Wanted and Situations Wanted is
being literally accepted and is doing a vast
amount of good. The poor of this city want
work, not charity, and ii is the duty of the
public TO see that they have it.
Practical benevolence is that which stimu-
lates good citizenship and encourages in
dustrious habits. And il is far more beneficial
10 provide employment than TO contribute
money to those who are able TO work. Foi
that reason all charitable people should look
about them for some way to employ our idle
poor. Any little job is preferable TO nothing,
and a stipend of wages may prevent much
suffering.
Send caro- TO The TIMES for Help Wanted
if it cannot be found among the many who
advertise for employment. Give the poor
work rather than charity, ana you will confer

A brand new baby stands in the way of

for TO come TO his West Virginia home at
once. because what the late Artemus Ward
designated as an episode had happened there.

''Of course said he. 'you will do better
by me than you have done by the others.
You'll make me your preferred creditor.
will you not?''
Why. certainly replied the merchant,
''Ill make you a preferred creditor. 1 tell

STRIKE OUT THE ADVERTISING CLAUSE.

The attempt of certain physicians TO sx-
clude from the practice OF medicine in this
city doctors who advertise is not in accord
with the spirit of progress. No one objects
TO crusade on irresponsible charlatans who
advertise 10 cure diseases by questionable
methods, but the sweeping allegation that all
specialists who advertise are quaeks and i'm
posters is not supported by facts.
Tho practice OF medicine. like all branches
OF trade or mechanics, has changed within
the last few years. Old-time doctors were
walking encyclopedias Of the healing art
They pulled teeth. bled helpless victims. gave
ipecac. set broken bones, and attempted TO
cure all ills Of the flesh, just as old-time
stores sold all sorts of merchandise, and old
time factories made many kinds OF wares
But progress has brought about improve
ments in medical practice as well rs In trade.
and expert specialists are the natural result.
1t is generally conceded that mechanics be-
come more expert when employed on special
work and that lawyers are most successful in
one kind of practice. II is also fact that
statesmen become more proficient when en-
gagged in selling one line of goods and that
artists arc most skillful when their efforts are
directed 10 one school OF art Then why
should not doctors be more valuable when
their studies and researches are devoted TO a
certain phase OF disease?
