The Baldwin Opera House Filled With
Guests of the Order
The seating capacity of the Baldwin
was taxed to accommodate those who ac-
cepted the hospitality of Temple and
Fern lodges last evening. The occa-
sion was an entertainment given by
tho Workman and Degree of Honor
lodges of the city in honor of a visit
from the grand master of the Work
men and officers of the grand lodge
OF the Degree.
On the stage were Grand Master E.
Werein, Grand Chief of Honor Mrs.
Carrie Holman, Grand Past Chief Mrs.
Kate J. Young. Grand Recorder Mrs.
Maggie Houston, Grand Lady of Honor
Mrs. M. E. Briggs and Grand Lecturer
D. G.. Herrin. After the rendering of
a pleasant selection by the D. of Fl.
choir, Hon. J. F. Moore introduced
Mrs. NJ. E. Briggs. who on behalf of
the two lodges delivered an eloquent
address of welcome to the grand
olhSCi o. Las was hOoPOhoOo w ~
Grand Master Werlein in short and
pithy address, in which many of the
commendable features of the order
were happily illustrated. Following
Mr.. Werlin's address, Mrs. G. F.
Stephens and Mrs. S. Young, rendered
vocal duet. Then Grand Lecturer
Herrin was introduced, and delivered
an able address upon the fraternal
and beneficial features of Workman
ship. The next number was a vocal
solo by DIR. Doane followed by an ex-
cellent recitation by Miss Jennie
Russell. The D. of Fl. choir rendered
farewell solo, and while preparations
were being made for the closing piece,
a tableau depicting charity, hope and
protection, Hon. J. F. Moore addressed
the audience on the workings of the
order, in which he very clearly showed
the system of insurance and the
fraternal features of the A. o. U. W.
The entertainment was indeed
pleasant one, and scored another sue
cess for the two orders under whose
auspices it was given.

Sudden Death of Ding Gung.

The inhabitants of Baker City's
Chinatown were thrown into great
state of excitement last Sunday morn
ing, by the sudden death of one of their
number. The shining mark was Ding
Gung, aged So years old, representa-
tive of Sam Yup Co., of San Francisco,
whose business is that of exhuming the
bodies of departed brothers and pre-
pairing them for shipment to the
Flowery Kingdom. Ding arose in his
usual good health. and was about to
smoke his morning cigarette, when
he fell to the floor dead. His remaines
were embalmed and shipped to San
Francisco where Ding's family re-
sides. 1t is said that the deceased man
was quite wealthy.

RAMBLING THOUGHTS.

Mr. Gourlay wanders Into Space on the
Money Question.
THE DALLES, Or, Sept. II, 1895.
Editor TINES -MoUNrAINEER:
'.Pascal's" effort to reconcile the two
Bryanite postulates, that free coinage
Of silver will give the debtor a cheap
dollar wherewith to pay his debts and
and at the same time restore silver to
parity with gold, is not brilliant
success, but he, doubtless, did his best
and the best could do no more. But 1
must protest against the numerous
fundamental errors he has fallen into,
in his effort to prove that gold has ap-
preciated, about one hundred per cent
since the alleged demonetization OF
silver in 1879. 1t is not true, although
it cuts small figure in this contro-
versy, that our first monetary unit was
the silver dollar. HamiltOn's report
on the free coinage law, which he,
himself, framed coupled with Jeffer-
SUI correspondents TCSdiulbS buO
same, place it beyond all reasonable
doubt that it was the intention of that
law to establish double standard, the
unit to consist of the abstract thing
known as dollar, this dollar to con-
sist of 371t grains of pure silver or 24i
grains of pure gold. 1t is not true,
therefore, in any sense that the silver
dollar was the standard for 81 years,
till 1873. 1t was not the actual stand
ard for quite half of that time. The ''6
or cents variation" between the bull
lion value of the two metals drove gold
completely out of circulation till 1887
when the ratio was changed, of set in
tent to bring it back into use. A
variation of one cent would have had
the same effect, and during more than
fofey years after our first coins were
struck there never was moment when
silver dollar was equal in bullion
value to gold dollar. From 1884 till

The above appeared on the first
page of Mondays Chronicle, but had
the editor OF our contemporary in
quired into the genuineness of the
bluff, he no doubt would not have
given it publicity. In the New
York Wopld of Sept I, is an ac-
count of how Buffer Eagan was called
and failed to respond. John H. Ped
igo, a well-known southern planter
and trader, according to the account
published in the World, stopped at
indianapolis, and sought Capitalist I"
Eagan with view of covering his
wager. He found Eagan behind an
| Indianapolis bar, and when Mr.. Pedigo
| informed him what his mission was,
Eagan exclaimed: II don't want to
bet nothin'. l did put that piece in
the papers, but it does seem to me any

joking. 1 couldn't pay bet if made
it. 1 am only bar-keeper in here
don't even own the bar. 1 couldn t

After treating to champagne Buffer
Eagan acknowledged that he never
had been democrat, but had been a
republican all his life, and the blow

A HAPPY REUNION.
Old Friends Assemble to Celebrate Mr.
Joslyn's Anniversary.

Old Friends Assemble to Celebrate Mr
JosIyn's Anniversary.
Yesterday was the list anniversar!
of E. S. Joslyn, one Of the pioneers o
this section. whose home is at Col
orado Springs. but VINO has beer
spending the summer at the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. r. Warner at White
Salmon, and this milestone on his
path of life was duly observed by a
| party of old friends, who assembled at
the pleasant home of the Warmers yes
terday forenoon. Those present were
Mr.. and Mrs. Joslyn, Mr.. and Mrs. S.
L. Brooks. Mr.. and Mrs. Allie Hender-
son. Mesdames C. W. Phelps, G. NJ.
Donnell, E. NJ Wilson, c. J. Crandall,
3. S. Huntington. J. b. Condor and
Rev. W. C. Curtis, of The Dalles; DI.
Humbert Caldwell, of Portland: Mrs.
DR.. Barrett. OF Hood River; Mr.. and
Mrs. A. Fl. Jewett and Mr.. and Mrs.
J. r. Warner, OF White Salmon.
The party that went from The Dalles
on the Regulator were met with car
riages at the boat landing. and conveyed
to the pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Warner, where q most sumptuous din
ner was spread, and some two hours
were profitably devoted to discussing
"reminiscences of the past. The after
dinner talks were most pleasant,
though tinged with sadness, for it was
recognized by all as possibly the last
meeting of those present. since Mr..
and Mrs. Joslyn will soon depart for
their home in Colorado, and will
probably never agein visit the scenes
they knew in their prime of life.
Mr.. Joslyn and Mr.. Brooks both
spoke of the long years of friendship
that had existed between them, the
ties that had drawn them together,
and referred to the parting that was
soon to come as one of the saddest
events of their lives, while Mr.. Curtis
spoke of the part Mr.. and Mrs. Joslyn
had taken during their residence in
this vicinity, in moulding public
sentiment for virtue and justice, re-.
marking that in his pastoral work in
this field he found their influences
ever present. Mrs. B. S. Huntington
read a pleasant letter of regret from
Mr.. Huntington, after which the party
was driven over the handsome fruit
farm of Mr.. Jewett and were shown
the principal points of interest about
White Salmon.
The day was perfect in every respect |
and those who partook of the hospi-
tality of Mr.. and Mrs. Warner pro-
nounce it one of the pleasantest, events
Of their lives.

SURE OF ELECTION.
A Former Oregonian Says Bryan Is a Sure
Winner.

A Former Oregonian Says Bryan Is a Sure
Winner.
Hon. Nicholas NJ. Bell, of ST. Louis,
formerly resident of Oregon, was in
Salem few days ago, and to a Journal
reporter expressed his convictions
that Bryan would be the next presi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. Bell
said:
'"rhe talk in St. Louis is almost en-
tirely on the silver issue. Ours is
republican city and we hope to carry it
for Bryan by 1900. to 5000, and old
Missouri will give from $4,000 to 100000
for Bryan. Illinois ard Indiana are as
safe for Bryan as Missouri. You have
no idea of the intensity OF feeling in
the agricultural regions of Illinois on
the money question. The same is true
of the farming states generally.
bryan will carry the entire South
including Maryland. leave out Dele
ware. He will carry the entire West.
He will carry Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan. There are AT votes in the
electoral college. 1t takes 224 votes to
elect. The only Western or Southern
states in any danger is West Virginia.
In New York Bryan will gain five
silver republicans for each gold demo-
crat we will lose. I have been in
politics % years, and was delegate
from Oregon in 1868. was delegate
this year to the convention at Chicago
that nominated Bryan. My deliberate
Judgment is that Bryan is as sure of
election as any man ever was or ever
will be six weeks before election. 1
do not consider Illinois, Indiana or
Michigan as doubtful states.
They are sure for Bryan as Missouri
or Arkansas. With the South and
West for him Bryan needs only votes.
The loss of any Western state will be
more than made up by Illinois or
Indiana. / do not consider the defect
ion on the gold democratic ticket as
much as it is estimated. Republican
abuse of democrats is forcing them
into line for Bryan. 1ou will not
have over 1000 or 1,5OO in Oregon, and
most of them in Portland"

John Gavin, of this city, was re.
Gently admitted to the bar by the
supreme court at Salem. There were
seyenty-four applicants including Al
seniors of the law department of the
Oregon University. The examination
was wholly written. Forty-nine ques-
tions were on the list and four hours
time given for the writing of the
answers. Mr.. Gavin received cefti-
ficate emitting him. to practice. He
received his instruction through the
Sprague Correspondence School of
Law, lis Telephone building, Detroit,
Mich. This school enables students
to study law in their own homes by
the correspondence method. 1t is
quite remarkable what this school has
been able to accomplish with its stu
dents scattered as they are in every
state and all the instruction given by
mail. Any young man or young
woman unable to attend law school
and desiring to study law at home will
be profited by writing the school for
particulars.
