The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1897-06-04

new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity OF all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not rcdeemable in each other nor in any
thing but government dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be OF immense service in uniting the
scattered forces OF theparty, and in making new
converts everywhere.
The retail price of MONEY CHART is 25 cents

ers by which we can furnish our subscribers the

The first anatomical plates, designed to

The parlors of Simpson Memorial
Church were enlivened last evening by a
pleasant reception given by the Epworth
League of that church to the leagues of
the First and the CaIifornia-street M. E..
churches. For two months these three
churches have been associated in revival
work, and the reception resulted from
this association and from the desire to
bring the members of tho churches to-
gether socially. Quite a crowd was
present.
The formal entertainment was under
the chairmanship of A. H. Cole, vice.
president OF the Simpson Memorial Church
League. The exercises proceeded as fol-
lows: Song, by the audience; prayer, by
DR.. j. w. Phelps, pastor of the California
street Church: piano solo, by Miss Flor
ence Dugan; dialect recitation, by DR..
Sieberst; vocal solo, by Mr.. Jones; song,
by the male trio, Harry Burke. P. Eisen-

it were, or have gone ahead and will board
the through trains at way stations.
This morning train of thirteen day
coaches was taken to the pier to be used
as a special but when the time came to
start there were only twenty-five passen-
gers on hand. They were quickly gath
cred into one car which was attached to
fast engine, which sped away to over
haul the regular overland train, so that
the expense of a special would be avoided.
At 5 O'Clock this evening the last special
left the pier. James Flood and party left
in the millionaire's private car Del Monte,
which was attached TO the special, as was
also car for the railroad agents and their
friends. The Bohemian Club and the
Pacific CLUB each had special car, and
the Oakland contingent had five cars. As
a report reached the pier that the drink
ing water at Nevada is ofvery poor quality
the dinlng-car G. w. Pierce was stocked
with enough refreshments. both liquid
and solid, to last both ways.
This train is due at Carson at o'clock
to- morrow morning. In the train were
two empty cars. and when 1t stopped at
the racetrack a large contingent got on
board as speedily as possible and the two
cars were rapidly filled. This somewhat
solved the secret of why so few oakland
ers were seen at the pier. 1t would be an
outrage on humanity to publish the list
of passengers, and consequently those in
charge of the train, when asked who they
were carrying, calmly replied that they
were nearly all strangers. As matter of
fact the Oakland contingent looked like
the busiest part of Broadway packed into
five cars,

The applications for work on the boule-

already recommended as particularly
worthy few have shown up for work.
Thirty whose tickets were ready yester-
day morning failed to appear at the Leid-
esdorff- street office for them. Only eigh-
teen men presented themselves 10 Super

struction out beyond the park, although
thirty could have been employed at once.
About fifty more tickets for workers
were issued last night to occupants of the
old armory on Howard street. where the
organized unemployed hold forth. 1t is
expected that 100 more persons including
these will be given an opportunity to be-
gin this morning to earn something on
the boulevard.
Some little apprehension was created by
notice posted yesterday on Mayor Su-
tro's property warning persons TO keep off
from that particular bit OF land which it
is understood he has given for the boule-
ward. 1t seems he has not vet signed the
deed. and that ne suspects that the water

occasion of the visit of Head Consul Falken-

exceedingly well pleased with the programme
presented. The address of the head consul
was a lucid explanation of woodcraft and the
bene fits that may be derived from 1t. AS a re-
suit of the meeting twenty-five applications
were received, to be acted upon at the next
meeting of the camp.
