a SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT.

The Views Shown by the Crarys at the U.
r. Church Among the Finest Ever Seen
in the City.
The first of the Crazy lectures, illus
trated by stereopucon views, was de-
livered at the U. P. Church last even
ing to an audience that filled the church
to its utmost capacity. The lecture,
which was a descriptive narrative of a
visit to Paris, other cities of France,
and of notable places in the great Alps,
was delivered by Mrs. Crary, while her
husband manipulated the stereopticon.
Mrs. Crary has very pleasing voice.
which could be easily heard in any part
or the room. The pieces are proDaDiy
the finest ever shown in this city. So
realistic are they that person almost
thinks he is looking at the object itself
instead OF a picture. The national coli
ors and details are brought out with a
delicacy and minuteness that is re-
markable. The views illustrated are
the beautiful sights which Paris, the
most beautiful city in the world,
abounds. Views CT Cologne, Versailles
and other cities of France were shown.
These were followed by other brilliant
ly colored pictures of scenes in a trip
up the river Rhine and tour through
the Alps, every picture wildly portray
ing indispensable grandeur of the
scenery in the region of Switzerlands
mountains. In these VIEWS were also
included scenes of Swiss and French
home life and peasantry. These places
have all been visited by Mr., and Mrs.
Crary and many of the views showl
were taken by themselves.
To-nights entertainment will consist
of the display of scenes in England.
Scotland and Ireland. commencing with
trip across the English channel and
spending the last half hour in the beau-
tiful Emerald Isle. These lectures will
continue all week, the programme Cor
each evening being different.

Merry, confirmed as minister to the

dor from the United States shall proceed
to San Jose, Costa Rica, and there tenn
porarily establish he headquarters Of the
United States to those three states. I took
THO action for what l regarded as the par
amount interests Of this country. It was
developed upon an investigation by the
secretary Of state that the government OF
Nicaragua, while not unwilling to receive
Mr.. Merry in his diplomatic quality, was
unable to do so because of the compact
concluded June 90, 1895, whereby that
republic and those Of Salvador and Hon
duras. forming what is known as
the Greater Republic of Central
America, had surrendered to the
representative diet there of their right to
receive and send diplomatic agents. The
cause he was not accredited to that body.
l could not accredit him to that body be-
cause the appropriation law Of Congress
did not permit it. Mr.. Baker, tho present
minister at Managua, has been directed to
present his letters OF recall.
w. Godfrey Hunter has likewise been
accredited to the governments of Guate-
mala and Honduras, the same as his pre-.
decessor. Guatemala is not a member Of
the Great Republic of Contra America,
but Honduras is.
Should this latter government decline
to receive him he has been instructed to
report this fact to his government and
await its further instructions.

States notes are presented for redemption
IN gold and are redeemed in gold such
notes shall be kept and set apart, and only
paid out In exchange for gold. This is an
OBVIOUS duty. II the holder Of the United
states, note prefers the gold and gete 1t
from the government he should not receive
back from the government a United States
note without paying gold In exchange for
II. The reason for this is made all the
more apparent when the government issues
an interest-bearing debt to provide gold
for the redemption Of United States notes
a Notwithstanding debt. Surely 1t
should not pay them out again except on
demand for gold. II they are put out in
any other way they may return again to be
Followed by another bond issue to redeem

oeem a misunderstanding debt.
To Relieve the Government.
In my view it is of the utmost import
ance that the government should be re-
!ieNed from the burden of providing all
the gold required for exchanges and ex-
port. This responsibility is alone borne
by the government without any of the
usual and necessary banking powers to
help itself. The banks do not feel the
strain of gold redemption. The whole
strain rests upon the government, and the
SIZE OF the gold reserve in the treasury
mas come to be. with or without reason,
the signal of danger or of security. This
ought to be stopped.
II we are to have an era of prosperity
IN the country, with sufficient receipts for
the expenses of the government, we may
feel no immediate embarrassment from
our present currency; but the danger Still
exists and will be ever present. menacing
us so long as the existing system contin-
ues. And besides, 1t is in times Of ade-
quate revenues and business tranquility
that the government should prepare for
the worst. We cannot avoid without Sc
rious consequences the wise consideration
and prompt solution of this question.
The secretary Of the treasury has out
lined a plan in great detail for the pur-
pose of removing the threatened recur-
renee of a depleted gold reserve and save
us from future embarrassment on that ac-
count. To this plan l invite your careful
consideration.
concur with the secretary OF the treas
ury In his recommendation that national
face value Of the bonds which they have
deposited for circulation. and that the tax
on circulating notes secured by deposit Of
such bonds be reduced to one-half of /
per cent. per annum. I also join
him In recommending that authority be
given for the establishment of national
banks with C. minimum capital of s25, 900.
This will enable the smaller villages and
agricultural regions of the country to he
supplied with currency to meet their
needs.
bank notes be restricted to the denomina-
ton of $40 and upwards. If the sugges-
lions I have herein made shall have the
approval of congress then l would recon-
mend that national banks be required to
redeem the notes in gold.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S MESSAGE.

Washington, n. c., Dec. e.-President
Mckinley sent the following message to
congress to-day:
To the Senate and Housc Of Repre-
sentatives: 1t gives me pleasure to ex-
tend greeting to the Fifty-f1fth congress
assembled at the seat of government with
many of whose senators and representa-
tives 1 have been associated in the legis-
lative service. Their meeting occurs under
felicitous conditions, justifying sincere
congratulation and calling for our CRATE
full acknowledgement to a benef1cent
Providence which has SO signally blessed
and prospered us as a nation. Peace and
good will with all the nations OF the
earth continue u%nbroken.
A matter of genuine satisfaction is the
growing feeling of fraternal regard and
unifcation of all sections OF our country,
the ncompleteness Of which has too long
delayed realization of the highest blessings
of the Union. The spirit of patriotism Is
universal and is ever increasing in fervor.
The public questions which now most en-
gross us are lifted far above either par
tisanship. prejudice or former sectional
differences. They affect every part of our
common country alike and permit of no
division on ancient lines. Questions of
foreign policy, of revenue, the soundness
OF the currency, the inviolability of ma
tional obligations. the Improvement of The
public service, appeal to the individual
conscience of every earnest citizen to
whatever party he belongs or in what
ever section. of the country he may re-
side.
The extra session of his congress which
closed during July last enacted important
legislation and while its full effect has not
yet been realized, what 1t has already &C.
complished assures us of its timeliness and
wisdom. To test its permanent value
further time will be required, and the
people. satisfied with it's operation and re-
suits thus far. are in no min to withhold
from it a fair trial.
Tariff legislation having been settled by
the extra session of Congress the question
next pressing for consideration is that Of
the currency.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
1t Will he Placed ON n Still Firn1cr
Basis.

1904
The important branch Of our government
known as the civil service. the practical
improvement Of which has long been a
subject OF earnest discussion has Of late
years received increased legislative and
executive approval. During the past few
months the service has been placed upon
a still firmer basis Of business methods
and personal merit. While the right Of
our veteran soldiers to reinstatement in
deserving cases has been asserted, dismiss
sails for merely political reasons have
been carefully guarded against, the exc
aminations for admittance to the service
enlarged n at the same time rendered
distinct advance has been made by giving
a hearing before dismissal upon all cases
where incompetency is charged or demand
made for the removal OF officials in any
Of the departments.
This order has been made to give to tho
accused his right to be heard but without
in any way impairing the power Of re-
moval which should always be exercised
in cases Of ineficiency and INCOMPETENCE,
and which Is one Of the vital safeguards
of the civil service reform system, pre-
venting %stagnation and deadwood and
keeping every employee keenly alive to the
fact that security Of his tenure depends
not on favor but on his own tested and
carefully watched record Of service.
Room for Improvement. '"'
Much of course still remains to be &C.
complished before the system can be made
reasonably perfect for our needs. There
are places now in the classified service
which ought to be exempted. and others
not classified may properly be included. I
shall not hesitate to exempt cases which q
think ave been improperly included in
the classified service or include those
which in my Judgment will best promote
the public service. The system has the
approval of the people and it will be my
endeavor to uphold and extend It.

The estimates of the expenses OF the gov.
