"whatever be their inclination, whether to-
ward physical, mental, social or spiritual
departments" The hard times have made
their effect felt upon the association, as
elsewhere, for its revenues have beer con
siderably curtaiicd, while its expendi-
lures had Ia be kept up to the normal
standard. The presidents plea, therefore,
is for expansion OF the educational and
athletic departments. in order that the
needs and desires OF young men in both
directions may he Eratified That part OF
President Willianson's report which bears
upon this phase of the associations affairs
is worth quoting:
Washington is, perhaps, more than any
other city in the country, city of young
men. Daily calls n our office and the large
number Of letters received from young men
from all parts Of the country reveal the
fact that there are coming into our city
numbers Of young men who are leaving
their homes in every hamlet, village and
city in the cour-ry and swelling the army
Of young men already employed in the vari
o,is offices of the city. The association
sends large numbers Of such young men
every month into Christian homes in the
would be enlisted and continued If the
building and its advantages were of suffi-
cient attra ction. During the few closing
weeks OF the year vast numbers of Young
men have made inquiry about the athletic
and other depa rtnents of the work and il
has been with the deepest regret that we
have seen the IN leave the association 10 be-
come identified with other institutions.
While the educational work has filled an
a tva1a int ff hum nf
Young men, there are still many lines of
study that could be fullyundertaken.
Especially is this true i'm mechanical and
industrial lines. which departments are at
present untouched. Scranton. Pa, and
Hartford Conn.,, are among many associa-
uuns where the educational department ha s
received endowments as memorials. A
well-epdowed commercial and industrial
school that would fit young men for bust
pes al well as for various lines of manu-
featuring. building. plumbing. bricklayirg
stopecutting. iron and woodworking. etc.
would bring great honor and perpetual
memory to one who would wisely endow
such department of our work as a me-
mortal.
There is scarcely business man in Wash
ington but knows the good that has been
done through the work OF the Young Mems
place in the social. educational and religious
life of the community all its own and which
could not have been occupied as Well by
any other means. Hundreds of young men
from all parts OF the Union are indebted to
il for phi hySical. mental and moral assistance
More thanin any other city isits work needed
here. where young men come in large
numbers every year to accept or look for
office under the government. II is to the
interest OF the community. therefore, that
the association should be sustained aud the
opportunity afforded it to do the very best
work which. with proper means, it is ca
pable of doing. Chief and foremost among
its needs is n new home. one worthy of the
dignity of the National Capital. and to this
end our people should checrfully extend a
generous hand to The association.

Nn/ BALL TURPIN, who owns large

guest at willard's. He reports
manufactures in that section as rather
lower than usual at this season of the year.
The fault is not SO much a falling Off in
production as the fact that most Of the work
is on a cheap grade Of goods. Manufac-
turers of all grades have curtailed
their production i'm the finer lines. as the
demand for them has fallen off greatly.
Many of the factories. rather than lower
The standard Of their goods. have decided
to work only part time, and others to close
entirely until revival OF business sets in.
They are most all optimistic. and say that
business must pick up after election.
Under the present order of things. the
Jobbers and retailers are keeping their stock
down to the point OF providing only for i'm
mediate demand. and the slightest increase
in the volume of business will instantly re-
act on the manufacturers.
IL is estimated that the dealers are now

NNE OF the guests at the Arlington
~ is Gen Clinton Dclmar, who owns
sevcraicoal mincsin Alabama. Gen.
Delmar says that the coal trade has been
very good this year The business, how
ever. will hardly equal that of last fall.
for the reason that the Ohio and Allegheny
Rivers went almost dry last year, nd shut
the Pennsylva MIA mines out OF the market,
which is usually supplied by way OF the
Mississippi.
This year the Southern wha ryes are all
generously supplied with Pennsylvania
coal, and Ala la ma will hardly have its reg
ula- business, except what little new trade
It can make for itself by enterprise.
One OF the measures which is being tried
there to increase the trade is a la rye line,
running south from Greenvillc. operated
in the interests of several mines. The busi.
ness of this line will probably not be very
great this year, but 1t will demonstrate
that Alabama is competitor with reDn
sylyania in the latter's territory.
IN ALKING about enthusiasm in this
election said George c. Cham
bers. of Charleston, W. Va, at
the Hotel yendome, ''an incident which oc-
cured during Bryans visit to our own caps

SHY miles away. to Charleston. for the
sole purpose of hearing the candidate.
Tine journey took little less than two
days, but he said that if he had missed Rry yan

Naturally the doings in tie theatrical world

THIS had the desired effect. With snort
of rage the bull tore round and round the

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease. requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have SO much faith in its cura-
tive powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
