TO PROTECT
THE TREASURY

Tn discussing the recent panic
in Wall street, Henry Clews,
the well known New York bank
er, says: "rhe time has now
arrived for the banks to do all
they can to protect the United
States treasury from periodical
gold drains and they can easily
do it by an understanding
amongst themselves-to make
it less easy for their dealers TO
draw greenbacks from them to
get gold from the treasury. If
the greenbacks, when demand
ed, are paid out in small bills
over the counter, requiring each
bill to be counted before leav
ing the bank, and the gold
given therefor also paid out
over The counter, requiring TO
be counted by the receiver, it
would not be so easy or agree
able a matter 10 draw gold from
the treasury. The banks of
England, France and Germany
put all the obstacles possible
In the way when gold is requir
ed from them in large amounts
to send out of their countries.
while in this country we have
always done exactly the oppo-
site. The banks have furnihed
the facilities by giving green
backs in large quantities, when
called for: which are presented
to the treasury as received from
the banks and the government
gives gold in exchange almost
instantly in bags with the
governments seal on, the
amount being officially marked
thereon. These bags as receiv-
ed from the treasury are put on
shipboard and depart from our
cetry seriously to our detri-
nent IN times like these"

tai of 81, ,000,000. 1t started with just 500
and then founded in New York City its
little weekly paper. the Volunteer Ga
zette, and secured headquarters. In the
very few months OF its existence the
movement has grown encouragingly.
There are already 1000 persons in the
United States who, as sympathizers with
the work, have become members of the
Volunteer League, and contribute $5 a
year for its support, and who, whenever
opportunity offers, speak good word for
those actively engaged as uniformed
workers in the new army.
On this coast the development has been
very encouraging. Starting three months
ago with but two posts, this division will
before the end of this month have eleven
actively in the field.
In few days, Mrs. Booth says, home
is TO be established in this City for re-
formed convicts, where, after coming di-
rectly from prison, they may be helped
until honorable employment can be found
for them. The rent Of the building will
be $50 month, and many little things
must be provided for it. III, " said Mrs.
Booth, 'iany one has a sheet or pillow
case, or bedspread or furniture or crock
cry or tinware he or she would like to
give to help fit up this home for my
boys it would be most acceptable and be
very gratefully received
81 think, continued Mrs. Booth, "that
through the work of the last three months,
through its heartburnings and its trials,
have seemed to know more of myself
and of my own heart than I ever felt in
the most sweeping success of great
cause. 1t is in the dark hour that we feel
the help of God"
In the evening Mrs. Booth addressed
even larger audience-one that filled the
main floor, the galleries and the adjacent
and approaching stairways at the old Y.
M. G. A. building on Sutter street, above
Kearny. There was solid mass of peo-
pie eagerly listening, many of them stand
ing SO far outside the doorways that they
were unable to catch all that was said.
During her remarks upon the new cause
she is espousing, Mrs. Booth referred only
once to the Salvation Army, for which she
had been until recently so tireless and
valued a worker. 1t was not in a dispar-
aging way, nor did she mention the name
of the body, yet every one knew what she
meant when she declared that a work of
this kind should not have its head in a
foreign country: it should be within the
Nation.
AS in the afternoon, subscription was
taken up, and in addition tickets were cir
culated for those so inclined to sign and
become members OF the Auxiliary League
for one year, by each agreeing to pay S.
toward it's work.

HONORED ITS PATRON.

Interesting Comm memorative Ser
vices at st. Francis Church..
At st. Francis Church the feast of the
holy rosary gave way by regular prece-
dence to the least of st. Francis of Assist,
the church's patron saint. A solemn high
mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Giles,
with Rev. Father Heslin as deacon and
Rev. Father Caraher as sub-deacon. As
the evening discourse was to be a pane
gyric of st. Francis. Father Heslin deliv-
cred discourse upon the holy rosary.
In tn evening Rev. Leo Drummer, Order
of St. Francis, delivered the panegyric.
He briefly sketched the life of the saint
and dwelt upon his virtues, his poverty,
humility and intense love of the Re-
deemer. From his intense love and his
long meditation upon the crucifixion he
received upon his own limbs the stigma
of his Savior. From the lite of st. Francis
the speaker drew many beautiful lessons
which he exhorted his hearers to heed.
