small change and dozen bottles of

The Colonial Danes of New Jersey.

A reception was given by the Eliza
beth Chapter of the New Jersey Society
of Colonial Danes of America at the
Elizabeth Town and Country Club on
Friday last. Mrs. Bedle, the president,
was assisted in receiving the two hun
dred guests, representing many patriotic
and historical societies, by Mrs. Camp
bell, Mrs. Levey and Miss Green.
After the greeting by the president,
short addresses were made by several
distinguished guests and Miss Beaston
pleased all with an able paper on Abb
gail Adams. A delicious luncheon was
served during which there was, of course,
much discussion in regard to the great
ness of the ancestors of those present.
The meeting then adjourned to the
First Presbyterian Church where most
interesting program was given. This in
cluded Introductory remarks by Chief
Justice Magic and an address by Prof.

most impressive.
The special feature of interest was the
unveiling of bronze tablet marking the
original site of the College of New Jersey,
now Princeton University, by Mrs.
Byron Sherman, lineal descendant of
the Rev. Jonathan Dickinson, the first
president of that institution, and the
presentation of flag to Princeton. Let
ters were read and a telegram received
from the president and faculty of Prince
ton regretting that their own commemor-
ative services prevented them from
attending those being held in Elizabeth,
for on this day, October, the twenty
second 1748 Princeton University was
Incorporated. The tablet is.designed by
William Beatty, formerly of Morristown
and is ably executed.
The National officers present were
Mrs. Gillespie of Philadelphia, first vice
president, who does SO much to foster the
love of country in the public schools and
Mrs. Gordon of Savannah, second vice
president. The Danes of Elizabeth sure
ly planned gala day and compliments
were showered upon them for the per-
feet arrangements made for the pleasure
and comfort of their guests and indeed
they are to be congratulated that the
commemorative meeting October 22d was
successful beyond words. The Morris
town Chapter was represented by Mrs.
Byron Sherman, Mrs. Merrell, Mrs Gar
retson, Miss Rowland, Miss Howland
Ford and Miss Hopkins.

Good Money Is Good Anywhere.

While a government can within its
territory define that which shall con-
stitute a legal tender in satisfaction OF
contracts past and future it cannot by
legislation fix the purchasing value OF
its money, for money is a commodity,
and it's value is determined in the mar
kets Of the world under the laws OF
trade, and the laws of trade, like the
laws of nature, are stronger and more
farreaching than any constitutions or
statutes. The best money is the money
of greatest purchasing power, and that
money has the maximum of purchasing
power which is exchangeaIle at par,
not only in the country from whose
mint it is issued, but also in the markets
of the world.

Yarn Manufacturers Curtain Production

Charlotte, N. c., May ia conven-
tion of cotton yarn manufacturers was
held here to-day, about forty yarn mills
being represented. A number Of other
cotton manufacturers also attended the
meeting. An agreement was signed by
which curtailment in production of
20 per cent will be made in yarns below
twenties, this reduction to 60 into effect
June 18TH
Action was also taken to OBJ
tain a reduction in freight rates from
Southern points to the markets of the
North and West. Several railroad rep
resentatives were here and the subject
will be prosecuted vigorously. Action
was also taken for the purpose Of elimi-
mating many extra charges which it has
become the custom Of commission houses
to make or allow to purchasers Of yarns.
A special committee was appointed to
look after labor legislation.
"A permanent organization was effected,
j. II. Anthony, of Charlotte, being made
president, and A. p. Rhyme, OF Mount
Holly, being made vice-president. A
board OF seven directors was created
and the directors were elected. The meet
ing adjourned to the call Of the board Of
directors. 1t seemed to be the sense of
the meeting that a further reduction
should be made if necessary to do so in
order to bring the price Of yarns to
profitable basis.

DEMOCRATIC TARIFF PROGRAM.

viii Offer Amendments Reducing Rates,
But not Beyond the Point for Sufficient
Revenue.
Washington, May 15.-The Democratic
members of the Senate committee on Fin
ance were in consultation to-day on the
tariff BILL They decided not to offer a
substitute for the Finance committee bill,
but to propose amendments which, while
they will reduce the rates would, if added
to the rates of the Wilson law, produce
sufficient revenue. They regard the COM
mittee's bill as a revenue producer and
calculate that, even without the proposed
beer tax and tea duty, it would bring
surplus into the Treasury. On the other
hand they regard the House bill as nearly
prohibitive on many of the schedules
and think that on this account it would
be deficient in the production of revenue.
The Democratic members are especially
critical Of the sugar, glass and wool
schedules and expect to offer amendments
to all of them.
