Mint to be Closed.

General A s. Badger. was in
Washington recently and called
upon Director Of the Mint Preston.
From him Mr.. Badger learned that
it was the Intention OF the govern
ment to discontinue the mint at New
Orleans after the first of January
next.
General Badger inquired the rea-
son for pursuing this course, and
was told insubstance that as a bnsi-
ness proposition i. was not advisable
to operate the New Orleans mint
He said that with recent improve
ments 10 he PhiIadelphia mint, that
mint aud the mints in the West
could do all the coinage required,
and it was therefore useless 10 send
bullion to New Otleans for that
purpose. as !; entailed unnecessary
expense. Director Preston added,
however. that an assay Office might
be located here.
Director Preston even expressed
aonb. that the present appointees Of
The New Orleans mint would be re-
tained until the end Of their term

Golfers Weekly.

Golfers Weekly" for the week
ending October 28th, contains, as
usual, wealth of literary comment
and artistic causerie. An editorial
on the late Chas. A.. Dana is par
ticularly noteworthy as the tribute
of one Of his best.known associates
of the tSun."
The illustrations arc executed FOR
the most part on wood, and are Of
rare artistic excellence.
Altogether, Golfers Weekly" is
type of what a highclass illus-
teated Weekly should be: elegant
and elevatiDg, a force that makes
for culture and civi lization. We
commend it heartily to our readers.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
aAnd Its History As Pertaining to the +.s Church of the Advent-Bishop f
 Winner theg central Figure.

d The twenty-fifth anniversary Of the Church of the Advent was celebrated on Sunday in a befitting and impressive nahner..
 Bishop W5lmer. the venerable head of the diocese of Alabama, was the central figure in the days services and though bent with age and his hair frosted by many wintrys chilly blasts, the spirit of the Living God, which has so long shone in his eyes. shined forth Tn all It's un- dimmed slustre and his words were hs- tened to with reverence so befitting the noble marfsof God.
 The services began with morning prayer and the reading of the lessons by Rev J., A. Van Hoose, the creed and episties by Rev. John c. Murray and the gospel, by Bishop Winner.
 The sermon, a most eloquent and force full eHe,- was from the text, Not by might, ffor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts," Zachariah ", chapter Hast part of sixth verse. After the sermon the right of holy con- frriation whs administered to a class Of sixteen. The Lords Supper. was cele- brated Revs. J. G. Murray and J. H. Van Hoose assisting the bishop. !, The evening services were devoted, in the main, to reviews of the church growth during its first quarter century Conducted by Rev. Murray, the pastor, and the layfneh of the church.
 The music was of the very finest and in accord with the occasion.
 At the conclusion of the history of the church. Bishop Wilmer arose and feel ingly said:
 y"Dearly Beloved Brethren-This has been d day of unutterable joy to- me. I cannot tell you, but you can imagine that my heart is full. The God of our Fathers, bless you and keep you and fill you with love and peace and make you a joy and blessing to the whole community. If God shall give me strength it will not be long before I come back again. I want to taste again the joys I have had today"
 2. He concluded by reciting the hymn: "T Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" The words. simple, yet sweet in their purity, never touched the heavens more deeply than on this occasion.
 Miss Lottie Coffin then sang in her beautifully precise and clear style: ''I Will Lay Me Down in Peace and Take A My -Rest, ,"'.- after which the bishop dis missed the congregation with an invoca- tionsof the Deity.
