Congressman Dewitt, of Ohia, has a
Finance Measure.
Washington. D. c., Dec. 18 Con.
gresham Dewitt of Ohio has pre-.
pared bill which he predicts will
solve the silver problem and main
tain the gold and silver for all time.
He has devoted IA months to the
study of the silver question and has
submitted his bill to several Sena
tors and members, who are students
of finance. They don't all approve
but he will push it just the same.
It provides, first, ''that all mints
shall admit silver bullion for coinage
upon the surrender by the owner Of
the difference between the market
price of the bullion and its face val
ue when coined.
Second, that the Secretary of the
Treasury shall set apart 100000
ounces of silver bullion to be de.
creased.
s::Third, that the bullion surren-
dered under the first provision OF
the act shall be held in trust by the
Treasury and be known as primary
silver reserve fund
"Fourth, that on the first Mon
day of each month the Secretary of
the Treasury shall transfer from the
primary to the secondary reserve
funds or vice versa, such amounts as
may be necessary to make all coins
provided for under this act, and the
primary reserve fund shall be equal
in bullion value to the face value oi
all silver coins made under this act y
Dewitt is elated over his proposi.
tion, ,and wants to be on the Coinage
Committee, so he can push his ideas
to the front.

voices Of children separately, and class
Ify them as to the parts they should
sing. Thls Is especially important as
many young voices are ruiued by slug
ing on the wrong parts aud Incorrectly.
Il is quite important that your child
rem should begin the rudiments OF
voice culture next Saturday 80 as 10
keep with the class work Of the winter,
which can only be secured in these
Saturday classes. Parents should feel
an interest In this matter and zee that
they attend and take these lesaODs
while they are young, ~ there 10 a very
great benefit derived from singing In
large classes, there being much more In
terest and enthusiasm than when sing
ing alone. Give the children this pre-
cious opportunity Of . lifetime.

What Professor Heritage Is DO
Ing for Us.
CLASSES FOR The LITTJE ONES
Wise Parents viii Avail Them
selves of This Opportunity.

There has existed for some time the
greatest necessity for education Of tie
little children OF this city In the rudi-
ments Of vocal music. There is some
vocal music taught the children 10 the
public schools and Sunday schools,
but ss the singing is purely by rote 1t ia
not upon a basis Of musical education.
After consultation with Principal
PEBBLES and the school board, Professor
Heritage has concluded to establish
children's classes that are open to all
the children Of the city,
This plan meets with heartiest sp
proval Of the school authorities, and IL
now well under way, ut q centrally
located place, with good instruments
and all conyenIences of electric lights,
water, etc.
The frat classes for children were
held last Saturday at the Chapel Of
Willamette, those under IL years meet
ing at o o'clock and those over ~ years
at $40. In spite OF very brief notice
there were rs In the primary, and 90
In the intermediate. There will un-
doubtedly be more next Saturday, as a
wider announcement has been given.
The tuition is only 81 from the start to
March l, and each pupil Is given out
right the clsss singing book to take
home and keep. This gives each child
a chance to practice the singing exer-
cises at its home.
A special reduction is made where
there are more than one coming from
the same family, and the price for two
is S1.75, three for So so, and each
additional child is only so cents each
for the term. No such opportunity 10
have your children learn music by note
and singing by a firstclass teacher was
ever offered.
Parents are invited to come with their
child.en next Saturday morning, and
at all times, and witness the work done
by the classes under Prof. Heritage.
