WANDERING HOMEWARD.
The Southern Wanderers Close Their
Reunion at Piny Woods Inn.

The Southern Wanderers Close Their
Reunion at Piny Woods Inn.
The Southern Wanderers Reunion
came to q close at Southern Pines We'd
nesday night and the wanderers and
their friends have hied away to spend
the holidays with loved ones at thee old
home. The reunion closed with a well
attended meeting held in the spacious
parlor Of the Piny Wooks Inn Wednes-
day evening beginning Mt o'clock. On
motion of Capt. A. NJ. Clarke, of South
ern Pines, Mr.. II. B.Arendel, of Raj
eigh, WAS called to the chair and Mr..
j. X. Neal, of Norfolk, was made sec
retary.
Rev. DIR. Hall, of Norfolk, offered the
following resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this as
sembly are due and are hereby rendered
to the Originators and Managers of the
Wanderers Reunion, to the Seaboard
Airline for special rates of travel, and
to the proprietors and managers of the
various hotels in Southern Pines for
cQurtesies extended, and to the residents
who contributed to the pleasures of the
occasions.
I'VE recommend Southern Pines as
the permanent place OF meeting, and the
week preceding Christmas as the time
for the annual reunion OF Southern Wan
derers.
I'VE urge Virginians and Carolinians,
who now reside in other States, to take
advantage of the special rates offered,
and to arrange to meet their friends at
the second reunion, which will be held
at the Piney Woods Inn, December, 1897,
and at which time ample arrangements
will be made for the pleasure and COM
fort of visitors.
DIR. Hall in presenting the resolutions
made one of his happiest ten minute
speeches, and predicted that future re-
ions of Southern Wanderers would be
largely attended and that they would be
among the most enjoyable occasions ever
held in the South.
Col. Barkley, a one-armed Confederate
veteran spoke for the Union OF the blue
and the gray and made an eloquent ap-
peal for that brothery love that was so
rapidly blotting out all sectional lines.
Col. Barkley was responded to by Major
Wise, Of Emponia, Va, who is the COM
mander in chief of the &. A. X. in Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas, and also by
Capt Clarke, veteran of the blue.
Other speeches were made by Mr..
Burke, OF the Philadelphia Ledger, Mr..
Derr, OF the Philadelphia Record, Mr..
Matos, of the Times, by Mr. Byron, of
the Boston Globe Mr. Ragsdale, of South
Carolina, by Col. T. J. Anderson, the
genial and popular General Passenger
Agent of the Seaboard Airline. Mr..
John Newman and B1r. Bell, of Whining
ton. After the speeches had been deliy-
cred a motion was adopted directing the
chairman of the meeting to appoint a
committee of five ON permanent organi-
zation and on bylaws Said committee
10 be announced by the chair 1T his pleas
ure, and to make n report ut the next
reunion to be held during December
1897.
The meeting then adjourned and re-
paired in a body to the basement hall Of
the Inn, where they were entertained
by the colored people with an old fash
ioned cake walk and cotillion

hearts. There was Christmas music,
Christmas recitations and Christmas pre-
sents in abundance John T. Pullen was

CHRISTMAS IN THE NEWS AND
OBSERVER OFFICE.
Last night just before the hour for
going to press, the News and Observer
force filed into the editorial office, by
stander remarking as they marched in
with Mr.. Chas. +. Cooke atthe head, at
is n strike" And it was-on the spirit
Of Christmas. The editor, Mr.. Josephus
Daniels, who was writing an editorial
ON the spirit of Christmas, was held
up," and to his astonishment, Mr.. Cooke
began making a pleasant speech, telling
Of the friendship between all those who
work together ON the editorial staff, and
concluding by saying that the compositoTs
desired TO show their esteem for Mr..
Daniels by presenting him with a gold
pen. Mr.. Daniels replied briefly, eX-
pressing his gratitude for the cordial re-
lations that Suhsisted, and thanking the
force for this kind exhibition of their re-
gard. The pen is a very beautiful gold
one, with an ivory handle.
Mr.. w. e. Christian then, in a happy
and witty speech, speaking for the force
in the printing office, presented a beau
tiful and elegant tie to Mr.. Samuel
Bogasse, foreman of the office, who re-
piled that, though not accustomed to
speech me king, he had a warm apprecia-
ton of this manifestation of the esteem
and confidence of his associates whose
| work Is Of the best character.

SIXTEEN TO ONE.-The question Is often asked what is meant by the ratio 16 to 1. In order to create double monetary standard, that Is to say, to have the prices of all commodities ascertained in money of two different kinds, 1t is necessary that the two kinds of money should bear a fix ed, unvarying relation of value the one to the other. Being measures of value, they must always bear the same relation to each other as pint cup to quart pail The relation which free coinage men seek to establish by law between silver and gold Is that sixteen ounces of silver shall be worth one ounce of gold, and shall continue to be worth 1t. As a matter of fact, one ounce of gold is worth thirty two ounces of silver, and the value of the inferior metal is continually changing. No government in the world has ever bnen able to keep the relation fixed. And every government has tried. The failure has been due to the overproduction of siI- yer and consequent shrinkage of value. The ratio has inval fable fixed and unlixod itself, according to the amount of silver and gold in the world.

Yale was defeated at Henley, Tuesday, by the Leander crew by length and three-quarters. Yale had the lead at first, and made a brave fight, but was out-rowed by the experienced Leanders, who are composed of old Oxford and Cambridge oarsmen. It is thought that the English narrow blade oars are superior to those used by Yale, and Bob Cook, their famous coach, wished to use the narrow blades, but the Yale crew were prejudiced against them. Yale was un- fortunate in having their first heat against one of the strongest crews of the regatta Yesterday Leander defeated the New College crew.
