WILLING WORKERS ENTERTAIN.
j. A. p.


The birthday party given by the Will
ing Workers last Monday evening was a
success in every particular. The society
always entertains royalty, but this last
far exceeded all previous efforts.
The hall was ella borately decorated wit
red, white and blue bunting and with
flowers and potted plants. In the centre
of the room were twelve tables, one for
each month of the year, and presided
over by twelve young ladies whose white
aprons and dainty caps transformed them
from hostesses to charming mattresses.
After ice-cream and cake had been
served, the tables were temoved and a
musical and literary programme was pre-
scented. Miss Gould gave three piano solos
in pleasing manner. Ambrose and
Henry Mattocks each sang solos. Miss
Thomas and Ambrose Mattocks sang a
duet. The reading by Mrs. Lula Crabtree
was excellent, and she was encored after
each selection.
The remainder of the evening was spent
in social greetings and games. Every
body went home saying in his heart: The
Willing Workers always have the best
entertainments, and I'll go every time"

It IL said that thn clearing house In
NeG York contains more gold than al
be stored in its yaul
oar exports Of M chandise manufac-
lures and agricultural products exceed
anything ever known In the history Of
the country.
There is hunger In Europe because the
price Of American wheat has reached q
high agure There is complaint that
this Is due TO the manipulation Of
American spectators.
This may be true. or Il may be due to
economic causes which enable the specu-
latOrs TO hold what they possess, az
spectators never were assisted before.
Touching the condition OF affairs in
Europe the London Leader says:
English corn Is now higher than for
many years. In France there have been
t~hreatenings aud mutterings OF trouble,
In Spain there aTe bread riots aud In
Italy there are barricades, burning
h0uses-TeyOlutiOn, In iaCt-On the part
OF the people who are unable 10 get bread
aud who think 1t better 10 die by a bullet
than TO starye. The very thrOneseems 10
tOtter because bread IL so dear. Other
people pay for Letters experience now.
But there Is q greater question than
that involved-which has been brought
into broader relief possibly by the opera
tons Of young Mr.. Letter. OF Chicago.
and possibly by other causes. and that is,
II Europe Is cut of from the food supply
II obtains from the United States, condi-
tions are brought about there which
threaten TO dislodge thrones and change
the form OF other governments.
Mr.. Letters performances may be vari-
oosly regarded. At this moment It Ia
not necessary TO discuss the morality Of
his acts or consider whether he. unaided
by e%xtraneOus causes not 10 be controlled
by individual effort, has been able to
manipulate the price Of wheat.
The main point Ia. that without the
agricultural products OF the United
States, Europe will suffer and many will
starye.
Yet 1t Is held that European statesman
ship is 80 purblind that 1t will close by
war American markets TO European con-
SINNERS.
