WHAT CONSTITUTES <
MONEY


If the silver mans dream is "cheap
money" he will find that that deside-
raturn is not attained by dishonesty or
the destruction of confidence. And even
were an imitation of the currency to fol-
low the free coinage of silver. 1t
needs very little experience in finan-
cial affairs to assert it is an
axiom that not infation-not a large
amount of circulation per capita-makes
what is called cheap money; but 1t is
a perfection of methods of clearance and
exchange, and confidence in trade and in
the industrial situation, and. naturally
faith in the integrity and solvency OF

more efficient medical attendance than
at the Harvard quarters. Jennings will,
as was predicted, fill his seat His sta
tistics are: A T. Jennings, Grand Rap
IDS Mich; age 81; heights feet II inches;
weight, 191 lbs. He rowed yesterday on
the Harvard freshman crew in the same
position.
TheHarvard boat will probably be
weakened by the change, as Jennings
has been trained for the shorter, more
snappy, two-mile, freshman stroke, and
in his almost unframed attempt to adapt
himself to the longer swinging, four
mile, Varsity stroke, may lose his head.
1t is unfortunate, too that the change, if
unavoidable, should be necessary in the
very waist of the Harvard boat.

Our En- City Budget.

Christmas was ushered in with
feeling of good cheer and merri-
ment. The miners throughout the
camp were determined to enjoy
good dinners, with plum pudding
as a center piece, and exerted
themselves in consequence in the
culinary art. with results that
would put to shame thousands OF
women throughout the length and
breadth of this broad land.
A. IL. Cummings gave very
pleasant dinner to his friends on
Christmas day.
Thomas O'Donohue is seriously
i'll at this date, and all are much
concerned about him. Kind hearts
and willing hands are doing all in
their power and it is to be hoped
he will pull through.
j. G. Litchiield and family spent
a very pleasant Christmas. The
little ones rejoiced in beautifully
decorated Tree. Santa Claus re-
membered them handsomely, but
he escaped them as usual. A deep
laid plot has been arranged to en-
snare him next time.
The thermometer fell suddenly
Dec. 26 until it dropped to go be-
low zero on December %.
The miners residing in town
gave a banquet to their friends on
New Years eve, which was largely
attended. The menu was very
elaborate and was hugely enjoyed
by all present. Numerous toasts
were drank and responded: to by
the older residents. Prof. Carney
presided at the head of the table.
"Hark on the winds
The bells deep tones are swelling
Tis the knell of the departing year. "
And in the midst of their revelry
a silence fell over all, as it seemed
a time for memory and for tears /;
the flowing bowl was abandoned
and from "within the deep, still
chambers of the heart" memories
of the past crowded up for utter
ance. AS the New Year dawned
more jovial and hopeful spirit
prevailed. Good wishes were ex-
tended and a hearty cheer wound
up very pleasant gathering.
A salute was fired in the first
part of the evening as it was the
intention to open the banquet by
mock wedding, but Box Sing, the
Washee-washee man of the camp.
