at the Opera Mouse.

The concert given last evening at the
Calumet NJ. E. church under the auspices
of the Epworth League was well attend
ed and heartily eDiOyed by all. The rpe-
cial feature OF the evenings entertain
ment was the soprano solos by Miss Nir-
gina n. Eastman, OF Detroit, and her sAl-
ections were delightful and the antiripa-
tons of the audience were fully realized
in this remarkable vocalist. Her voice Is
clear and the tone is perfect and it ap-
pears to be as easy for her TO sing the
most difficult selections as il is to con.
verse. Miss Eastman was on the pro-
gram for TOUR selections aud she was re-
quired to appear in as many enthusiastic
encores. Among the other numbers in
the first part OF the program was piano
selection by Prof. G. l.. Johnson, tenor
solo by Mr.. Alfred Nichols and recita-
ton by Mrs. James NJ. Merton, all OF
which were well rendered and thorough
" enjoyed. In the second hall OF the pro-
gram, beside the selections by Miss East
man, were a violin solo by Mr.. Solomon,
a vocal solo, "Slumber Song" by Mrs.
Whistler, a tenor solo by Prof. F. K. An
drews and a selection by the newly or
ganized Calumet Mandolin and guitar
club. These numbers were all very good
and the club made reputation for first
class string music. The concert was a
success financially and unsteady

the merchant weighed money, metals
or other things. Now, any place where
| money is handled as a commodity.
BIMETALLISM, the theory that, IL both
gold and silver are coined free and in tin-
limited quantities at fixed ratio for
private owners, the coins will circulate
concurrentiy in n country. 1t has often
been tried and invariably failed. If the
coinage ratio be more favorble to silver
than to gold. judged by the true or COM
mercial ratio, gold will disappear II un-
justly favorable TO gold silver will disap-
pear.
BULLION. originally bulla, q seal or
stamp. Later. and now, money metal.
| stamped or unstamped-uncoined. Bull
lion is bought where it commands the
| least value and sold where it commands
the greatest.
CAPITAL, surplus wealth.
CENT, from centum; Latin, hundredth
part of dollar.
CIRCULATION, amount OF money In
use.
COIN, stamped metal used as money
CREDIT, expectation of money within
a limited time.
CURRENCY, that which is given or
taken as having or representing value
