A"HAavesr SOCIAL "
First Baptist vestY Scene Of Pleasant Gather
ing, Thursday Evening.

An unique and pleasant gathering
was held at the First Baptist vestry.
Thursday evening. 1t was Harvest
Social" and the vestry was appropri-
ately decorated with trophies of the
autumn bounty and beauty. On tables
IN line with the entrance were dis
Llayed fruits, vegetables and grains
a pyramid of apples, heap of ruddy
heets and yellow carrots. baskets of
grapes and nuts, rotund squash and
mammoth pumpkin. over the plat
form were draped sprays of crimson
leaves and other foliage, mingled with
scarlet berries. To the harvest treas
ures here shown were added, as the
people came in, contributions of sim
liar nature given by members of the
parish.
All present seemed to enter heartily
into the spirit of the occasion, and the
young people, especially, made it a
merry evening. All regretted the alb
sence of the pastor, Rev. j. NJ Wyman,
who was detained at home by illness;
but substitute was found in the per-
son of Mrs. Wyman, who gracefully
presided over the business formalities
of the evening, and announced the ex-
crcises.
These consisted of singing and reel
tations by the children, and an appro-
pirate exercise, representing the har-
vest gifts and their symbolism was
very prettiiy presented.
most interesting part of the pro-
gramme was the reading of an orig
inal story, written for the occasion by
the talented writer, Miss Olive E. Dana
and entitled Up Northrop Way"
The whole affair was arranged and
carried out by the Ladies' Social Cir
Gle. The officers chosen for the COM
ing year We're Mrs Ella Beale, presi-
dent; Mrs. Ella Wellman, secretary and
Hunt, Mrs. +. a. Clark, Miss May
Weston and Miss Mabel Wyman
y committee was appointed to dis
tribute the gifts, and though this
Harvest social was in no sense a
charity, but the most spontaneous ex-
preston of good will, yet it is pleasant
to feel that homes in the parish will be
frightened by substantial tokens of in
terest, and that so the happiness of the
evening will be shared and repeated

FOR DECEASED SOLDIERS.
headstones Will be Placed on Graves Of All
Departed Comrades.

A law was passed in 1873 by Congress
providing for the erection of durable
headstones over the graves of all sol
diers and sailors of the regular and
volunteer forces of the United States,
whose remains are inferred in the ma
tional military cemeteries. This law
has been carried out and the graves
permanently marked. AT the instance
of the war department, Congress has
authorized the erection of similar head
stones over the graves of all soldiers
and sailors who are buried in any
cemetery or private grounds that re-
main unmarked, unless the friends of
themselves.
The stones are made of American
white marble. fine grade, 10 inches wide,
10 inches above the ground, top Slight
ly carved, and q inches in the ground.
Upon the headstone will be inscribed
the name, date of death, age at death
company, regiment and rank.
The government will furnish the
stone and will send it to the railroad
station nearest the cemetery but the
survivors of the comrade must pay for
the setting the stone

THE INCOME TAX.

The tax dodgers would indeed quake
were Justice Field to retire from the su-
preme court. That he will do so shortly
is not only possible, but highly probable.
Age and inirmity have rendered him en-
tirely incapacitated for business. All the
influence that the corporate money power
could bring to bear would be exercised to
prevent the president from naming as
Justice Fields successor man favorably
inclined toward the income tax section of
the Wilson tariff act, but it is doubtful if
the president would appoint any but one
who is at least open to conviction on that
point. In that event Democrats who be-
lieve in just and equitable distribution
of the burden of taxation would soon dis
cover a way to reopen the whole question
in the courts.

TRANSPARENT SCHEME.

We notice in the press dispatches that
a plan is maturing in congress to pass,
at least through the house, by way of a
starter, an act providing for the estab-
llshment of san international American
bank" similar to the Bank Eglannd of or
the Bank of France. 1t is interesting to
take notice also of the principals who are
engineering this scheme: Cornelius N.
Bliss, of New York; F. d. Armour, of
Illinois; Andrew Carnegie, of Pennsyl-
vania and Scotland; M. M. Estes, of Cali
ia-distinguished Republicans, who
have never yet lost chance to cast q
legislative anchor to windward.
On this subject the Los Angeles Ex-
press recently touched in an editorial
that will bear repetition. Says the Ex-
press:
"Here is an item clipped from Brad
streets to which we call the attention of
the advocates of gold monometallism and
the opponents of bimetallism:
"Unemployed deposits in bank, also
the gold in the Bank of England, continue
excessive, aud seem likely to do so while
quiet trade and low prices call for SO
little money. Gold gathers because the
bank act binds the bank to buy all fine
gold offered at 93, It's Sd. an ounce
''Notice that the bank act binds the
bank to buy all fine gold offered at nearly
500 an ounce. Gold, therefore, has a
fixed value-fxed not by the supply and
demand law, of which Mr.. Carlisle, and
the school of economists to which he now
belongs, talk SO much and so eloquently-
but price fixed by legislative enact
ment. 1t appears from the paragraph
that the Bank of England is being forced
to buy this gold, although it has more
than it needs now.
at is proposed to duplicate this legis-
lation in one form or another in this
country. What the banking ring is
working toward is national bank on
the plan of the Bank of England, or the
Bank of France. owned and controlled
by few stockholders. The national
banks, when they get the exclusive privi-
lege of issuing paper money will be con-
solidated, the small fish frozen out and
and all the immense power combined in
few hands.
"But monometallism must precede this
scheme. Free coinage of silver helps the
western silver miner, we are told, but no
one says word about how the banking
act helps the gold miners, or how the de.
monetization Of silver and the retirement
of greenbacks have had the same effect.
"We ask some of our goldbug friends
and contemporaries to explain why it is
right to force the Bank of England to
buy gold at fixed value, and this
country to coin it free, and wrong to ex.
tend the same privilege to silver?
"Will it be claimed that the English
banking act does not give an artificial
value to gold!
"All that bimetallists ask is that the
two metals be placed on an equality be-
fore the law. But it is not to the inter
eats Of the financial rings to do so, and
they have proved such adopts in the past
at controlling the powers that be, that
unless the people awake to their danger
the future is full of dark clouds"

WHILE Allison, of Iowa, unquestion-
ably recognizes in his own personality
the finest kind of presidential material,
he has the Republican habit of clinging
like porous plaster to sure thing. So
he permitted the Iowa legislature to
thrust United States senatorship on
him for another six years without even a
whispered word of protest. Doubtless
Mckinley would feel much more oom-
Portable if he had had the foresight to
push Foraker aside and take Brice's
senatorial seat himself. A senatorship is
much better job than that Of ex-gov-
ernor of Ohio with longing eye on the
White house, especially as a senator can
cast his optics on the White house quite
as easily as can an ex-governor.
