pressed the wish that some OF
the others could find it their duty
and work of love to 60 as mis-
siOnaries in foreign lands. BY
such action they could be called
the missionaries of the society, be
sides continuing the work of the
| fathers.
| Another member suggested
that money had been given vari-
Gus missions in Honolulu. He
was a worker in one of these and
thought he could be called a mis-
sionary in foreign fields at home.
The work of the Hawaiian Mis-
sion Children's Society and that of
the Hawaiian Board of Missions
was compared by one of the mem
bers and found to be similar. The
former was more on the sympa-
thetic order and held it's meetings
to keep alive, continue and COM
memOrate the work of the early
missionary fathers. The latter
was an ecclesiastical organization.
Another member suggested
that if the society wanted work to
DO, it's energies might be turned
toward mission that was about
to be formed in a certain part of
the city. While it would differ
from the missionary work of the
society in the past, it would be the
same in spirit, in that thee funda-
principle was missionary
work. A committee of three was
appointed to report to the society
the idea. ~ 4.
All the speakers of the evening
seemed to be alive to the fact |
hat the society is still meeting
With the needs of the hour in the |
work it is doing. The number |
present at the meetings was. not,
n their opinion, an indication of
he true status of the organiza-
ion. It's past work was known all
,ver the world, and the members
could find cheer in the fact of the
that they had .uplifted
,thers besides doing themselves
rood by such action. The last an
lual report of the society spoke
or itself in showing the vast work
After the usual social inter
curse the meeting adjourned.

Gibbs and Groom a short time ago, and
stated that they were willing to put up
any bond. note or other security demanded
by Corbett ana Sharkey.
As Corbett in a telegram yesterday
stated that he would accept nothing but a
cash deposit, another conference was held
last night, and the same gentlemen agreed
to put up cash deposit for the National
Club. They objected TO this until it was
regarded as unavoidable, because they did
not want so large sum of money to re-
main idle for at least three months.
So it seems that San Francisco will get
the fight after all.

THE WORLDS GOLD.
j. j. Dwyer Addressed Full House
at the metropolitan
Temple.


A good audience greeted ]. ]. Dwyer at
Metropolitan Temple last evening when
he appeared upon the platform, intro
duced by Chairman M. A. Hurley. A
goodly company of vice-presidents of the
meeting also occupied the stage.
The speaker in his advocacy of free
silver coinage held that there was not gold
enough in the world for the needs of its
business. Of the 81, ,0O0, ,00O, 900 in use Eng.
land, France and Germany possessed one
half and the former country had a con-
trolling interest in the other half.
There was only $500, 100000 in this
country, and that was not enough for trade.
Millions. he said, were boarded in Europe
against the time when the inevitable war
between those threatening kingdoms
breaks out, and 81 ,000, ,000,0 600 is held tied
up here.
So the Rothch1lds, he said, with their
agents, the Morgans, the Belmonts ct al.
have their grip on the gold of the world.
Inls country Is groaning under the bond
issue, and to maintain the gold standard
there must be more bonds issued. There
is no other way. The goldbug wants an
honest dollar, and the dollar he wants is a
dollar that will hatch other dollars while
he sleeps.
The speaker read several published ex.
tracts on the subject, and quoted Webster
and Blaine as advocating bimetallism
DE also scored Bourke Cochran. He was
interrupted frequently with applause. but
on the whole the audience took the speech
quite quietly.
