The departure of Rev. d. p. Birnie
will be felt by many in the commu-
nifty. DR.. Birnie had won the respect
not only of the religious organization
with which he was connected, but also
of those who had no religious affilia-
tons with him. His manlness was an
essential feature ofghik dealings with
his fellows. Apart from his purely
religious work, which was arduous.
DIR. Birnie instituted, social life
among the younger men of the COM
munity which was extremely healthy
and which has been put upon such a
firm basis that it will continue to
live and to flourish long after the mi
tiating mind has been withdrawn.
Wherever DR.. and Mrs. Birne may go,
they will carry with them the hearty
good wishes of very large section of
the people on the Hawaiian Islands.

their own country, The Spanish gov
eminent would never have carried
them back. but would let them starve,
unpaid in Cuba According to the
leading financial journals in London,
the Bank of Spain, and consequently
the Spanish treasury, is insolvent In
fact Spain is now depending upon the
printing press and not upon the pre-
cious metals for her circulation.
According to the last published
statement the Bank of Spain had
1.31s.OOO,OOO pesetas of note circula-
ton. and this by government decree
is TO be increased TO 2,5O0,O0O,OO0 pc
setas. \ peseta ought to be worth
twenty cents, its present value is ten
cents, and at the rate Spain is going
will soon be worth one cent. Against
the issue there are 245.OOO.O0O pesetas
reserve has been drawn upon by the
government surreptiously. Then there
are lOj,OOO,OOO pesetas of silver. The
Spanish government will not allow
any large quantity of notes to be
changed for silver, by the statement
that any one doing so will be regard
ed as criminal disturber of the
peace.
This shows that against an issue of
2,5OO,OOO0OO pesetas the Bank of
Spain has a very doubtful coin re-
serve of 35O,OOO,OOO pesetas. or to
bring it down to small figures, for
every fifty pesetas of note issue there
are but seven pesetas of coin to rep
resent it. OF course the Bank of
/ Spain has collateral in the shape of
securities from the government for
| discounting the Cuban. the Philippine
/ and other sources of income. But at
/ the present moment neither Cuba nor
/ the Philippine Islands are sources of
/ income and such securities are not
worth much more than the parchment
upon which they are written.
AS the war goes on it is well to
watch this financial side of the ques.
ton, for it is bound to play an i'm.
portant part in the negotiations fol
peace. Undoubtedly, the financia
side has had its influence upon France
already. The fact that the French
bankers have made heavy advances tc
Spain, and now begin to see that theil
securities are, as it were, taking
wings, has its reflex in the French
newspapers, and many which a coupl,
of months ago were wild for war ar,
now preaching peace.
Compare the financial condition o
the United States with that of Spain
The United States asked for 100000,
600 war loan, that, at par, would equa
,000,000,000 pesetas, and goodness
knows how much in the present de
preciated paper, and the coin came il
for six times the required amount. II
valuing the two sides it is wort
while to consider facts, and they ar
incontrovertible facts. such as these.

MISS DAYS CARNIVAL.
A Pretty Dancing Party at Terpsichorean
| Hall.

Possibly one of the prettiest events
given by the dancing classesSof this sea-
son, was the carnival which Miss Ruby
H. Day gave in Terpsichorean Hall, Sat
urday evening. Nearly every member
of the two classes was in fancy dress
the delicate green hangings and decora-
tionS making cool and neutral back
ground for the brilliant costumes. Pre-
cisely at o'clock the 100 pupils formed
for the opening march, Miss Adelint
Henchy attired as flower girl, and
Master Earl Harper, as Lord Fauntle-
roy, leading.
The multitude Of costumes was be.
wildering, the little people all acting
their parts well, as children always dc
in their Inconsistencies of self. French
demoiselles and Spanish dancers
touched elbows with flower girls from
Germany representatives of the British
army conversed peaceably with AmeTi-
can soldiers and harlequins We're not
disdained by the fair Dolly Warden
who, in Powered polonaise and pale pink
skirt and gayly-trimmed hat, danced as
d her little toes were never tired. A
little French marchioness was hardly
equal to the management of her trained
brocade gown, but, nevertheless, the
little maid did finely.
At intermssion there were several
specialties. pretty Spanish dance was
performed by Miss Margaret Miller
who, in bolero costume of red. black
and yellow and with flashing black
eyes and dark hair, made a perfect
Spanish dancer. Little Miss Mollie

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
Some of the Business to Come Before the
City Council Monday Night.

Financial problems will engross the
attention Of the city council at its meet
ing, Monday night, and those problems
are of such vital interest to the tax
payers that there will be considerable
figuring before the matters are finally
settled. 1t will be remembered that a
week ago last Friday night the common
council amended the salary bill in sew
eral respects, and that the board of al
dermen refused to adopt the amend
ment when it came before that body for
the second time last Monday night.
Parts of the salary bill were adopted,
parts were laid on the table and other
parts were referred back to the finance
committee. These latter require concur
rent action, and if the common council
feels like it, it can make a very bad
mess out of the matter. 1t is very like
~ that committee of conference will
have to be appointed anyway, and there
Is no telling when the matter will be
finally Strengthened out.
The common council will also be called
upon to consider the department appro-
priations, which were sent to the alder
men last Monday night and referred by
that body to the committee on finance
The common council will be called upon

them the solicitors opinion on that por-

members of the city council on munich

COMING CELEBRATIONS.
The joint special committees on the
dedication of the new city hall and the
observance of the semi-centennial of the
adoption of the city charter, held joint
meeting at the city hall, Saturday af-
ternoon, to consider whether the two
events should be held together or sep
arately. An informal vote was taken,
and it was the sense of the two commit
tees that the better plan would be to
nave the celebrations separate. No def
mite action will be taken until after
Mayor Dodge IS consulted, as he was
not present at the meeting to give his
views on the subject A subcommittee.
consisting of Mayor Dodge, President
Potter of the board of aldermen, and

was appointed to make inquiries in re-
gard to speakers for the two occasions.

A coNsIDERATE FIRM.
A Gala Time in View for Boston Store
Employees.


The 400 employees of the Denholm &
Mckay Company are INDUCING in de-
lightful anticipations over a pleasant
event which is In store for them Irving
Swan Brown the manager of the Bos-
ton store, has invited his whole force of
employees to be his guests at a social
to be given in their honor on Friday,
the 18th, at the new Terpsichorean Hall,
in the Central Exchange building. AS
Mr.. Brown is known never to do things
by halves, the hopes of the young men
and women of the Boston store for a
thoroughly enjoyable and fiawless eve
ming, have a strong foundation. The
following gentlemen connected with the
store are chairTnen of the different COM
mittees having the affair in charge:
Reception, A A. Gulick; hail. E. A.
Sadd music, Albert E. Flint; refresh
ments, R. J. Mckay; printing, j. E.
Mcdonald; decorations, Frank H. Smith:
press. J. M. Kendall; entertainment, e.
A. O'Connor. floor director, H. A. Gross.
The forthcoming ball is only one of
many kindnesses shown by the Den
holm & Mckay management to its SUI
bordinates and which serve to firmly
cement the friendly relations between
employer and employed. Mr. A Swan
Brown, the president of the concern,
provides an outing for the force each
year at his residence, 1.-THE Hermitage, :"
and receptions are rendered at frequent
intervals during the winter at the house
of the manager. Consequently there is
no large concern in the vicinity that
can claim more loyal or faithful en-
ployees than the Boston store.
