Secretary Carlisles letter, in which
he said: ut is the duy OF The
Secretary of the Treasury
and Of all other public officials
to execute in good faith the policy
declared by Congress-, and whenever
he shall be satisfied that the silver
dollar cannot be kept equal in pur-
chasing power with the gold dollar,

tile gold dollar, when such exchange
is demanded, it will be his duty to
adopt that course" has create0

Under date of July /, 1896, an official
Treasury circular was issued III
which the 10 lowing sentence appear
ed: Silver certificates are receipts fol
standard silver dollars deposited, and
are redeemable in such dollars only
This new announcement that silver
would be redeemed in gold, if Id vas
demanded, is regarded by silve men
as a reversal of the policy which has
heretofore been followed by the Treas
ury department., and they are de-
nouncing it in measured terms. Sen.

cratic Congressional committee voiced
the sentiment Of the silver men when
he denounced this new move as "a
policy which invites depreciation N

The Brownies invaded Fairy
land last Friday night at Opera
Hail and played their clever
pranks for an hour and a half to
the delight of packed house.
The Fairies themselves were dam
~ as summer flowers and added
plenty Of poetry to the grotesQne
performances Of the comical
brownies.
The play opened with a bright
glimpse cf the fairies asleep III
Fairy Dell, with the light Of the
rising sun gIintjng their pretty
costumes-a most charming tab
leau. The dialogue is as once
taken up and the story trots
along in airy verse and sweet
snatches Of song, through all
manner Of perplexlties and start
ling discoveries and disappoint-
ments. In the end, the ingenul y
Of the Brownies, inspired by the
sympathizing fairies, wins thu
fight over "a pestiferous foe, and
the curtnin goes down over an
other tabIeau with il song Oh the
lips OF every body.
Some especially pretty features
were the songs, Flowers, Pretty
Flowers, . "They re Different, yes
Different From Others Of Their
Kind" and a Perfumed Fan.
The policeman used his billy very
handsomely and kept the audience
with him all the way, while the
two little brownies who came to
Blows all because of a pretty fairy,
made no end Of merriment. The
Queen of the Fairies had lots to
learn and carried it all off with
The best Of grace, and the Prince
did her part right manfnily-for
a girl. Toddlekins and Tippytoes
were high favorltes al the while.
All in all, River Falls has not
had so rich feast of merriment
in the length of her happy life
time, and should the Brownies
and Fairies ever come to visit
her again she'd give them, sec
end time, her very best welcome.
Mr.. Milne and the Epworth
League desire to express their
thanks to the little folks who
took part IL the play, and to their
parents and others who lent their
aid to further the interests OF the
enterprise. The TIMES on it's own
