Little Eveline +. Wilson was christ
ened today Al the home of her father and
mother. Mr.. aud Mrs Calvert Wilson,
who reside at 1908 Bush street. The day
was the FIRST wedding anniversary Of Mr.
and Mrs Wilson, so the occasion was
one doubly significant. The wedding had
been violet wedding, and the christen-
ing was violet christening. The whole
house was full of the perfume of English
violets which were used in great profus-
ion in connection with graceful brake
ferns. The ferns formed a frieZe in the
drawing rooms and were ornaments for
pictures, brackets and portieres Mrs.
Wilson wore her wedding gown of cream
brocaded satin and a cluster of viOletS
in her hair. Mrs. Wilson is a Stanford
girl, one of the first on the coast to take
the degree of Phi. b, and while college
bred has not neglected her domestic
education, for the tiny Persian lawn
christening gown, worn by Baby Eveline,
was the work of her hands and was a
dainty hemstitching and lace. The
christening party was held from the
hours Of 10 q. IN. to p. IN.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.

establishment of a barracks and rock

Messrs. Newberry, johnson and Slau-
son favored reducing the wages OF tne
city employees from 50 to 81 per day, as
by that means more families couid De
relieved.
Messrs. Grider and Toll did not favor
any reduction of the wages, and could
not see that any benefit would result
from this move Mr.. Mathuss agreed
with these gentlemen, and President
Silver also spoke against any reduc-
ton. Mr.. Mathuss said that it was
necessary to do something at once, and
pointed out tha; the situation was ur-
gent, and delay was dangerous.
Mr.. Grider said that for one he was
willing to meet. the citizens half way
If the citizens would raise $4,000, he
would favor the citys contributing
$4,000
Messrs. Slauson, Johnson and New
berry all thought that the present wages
were too high They insisted that the
city should not pay more than private
individuals for the same class of work,
These gentlemen all stated that they
had worked for fifty cents a day, ard
claimed that this amount would keep
men from suffering. They took the
ground that the present wages for labor
ers were too high, and that it was in the
interest of the laborers that they should
be brought to understand that this was
the case.
After much talk in the same line. Mr..
Newberry moved that the wages Of the
city employees be cut in two wherever
practicable, in order that double the
number of people might be benefited,
which motion was seconded by MIR.
Johnson.
No vote was taken, and the meeting
adjourned until this morning at o'clock,
when the committee will present some
definite plan of action.

INCREASED INSURANCE RATES.

II Is said that three of the largest in
surance companies in this country-the
Equitable tho New York Life and the
New York Mutual will advance the rate
OF insurance after January lst. The rea-
son for this we do not know. It is we'll
known that during the past fifty years or
more the average age of man has stead
fly increased and as life insurance is
based on precise mathematical calcSa-
ton. it would seem that insurance rates
should be lowered in proportion as long
evity increases.
We mentioned the other day that
these same companies had lowered their
interest assumption In other words
that they had, By reason Of a lower rate
Of interest. been forced 10 estimate the
future earnings Of their revenue fund on
a 3 II per cent. basis instead Of 4 per
cent. basis as heretofore.
This fact, we presume will be given
out as the reason FOR the advance in the
rate Of insurance. There is a vast
amount Of capital seeking investment
and 1t is growing at an enormous rate.
There is also an increasing demand for
absolutely safe investments with neces-
sarily a propcrtionate decrease i'm the
rate OF interest. OF, TO put it differently,
capital is bidding higher ana higher for
sale securities.
But while this shows that there is a
large amount OF cheap money in this
country, Il does not mean that mon ey is
cheap 10 everybody and that it is plen-
iiful in all sections. Money Is plentiful,
we say. and cheap TO those who have
giit-edged securities. But the case is
different with farmers and others who
have property of another character
What the country needs is a system OF
currency that VIII make money as cheap
and AZ plentiful to this latter class as
they would be justly entitled TO from a
bank under a prudent local management.
This is not TO be accomplished by the free
coinage of silver. which would give us a
deprecated currency. and continuing the
