CHAUTAUQUA.

An especially attractive program
Three quartettes, soloists, gifted
lectures. projectoscope-Special days
-Woodmen's picnic, new settlers
day, farmers day.
There are bright prospects for
the Chautauqua this year. The
directors have wisely come to the
conclusion that it is necessary to
offer the public superior attrac-
tions in order to secure a large
attendance, and to that end a pro-
gram has been arranged that will
draw the people. While there are
to be special days, there are to be
no days with weak program.
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1899-06-02

Every day from the opening to the
close will be attractive and in
teresting.
A great many North Dakotan's
at the present time are making
calculations for summer outing.
The Inter-O Ocean would say to such
go to the Chautauqua. Not
simply because it is North Da-
kota inftitute, but for the reason
that there is no place in the whole
country where you can get as
much real enjoyment for a
moderate sum of money as at the
Chautauqua. There is an abun-
dance of shade, oceans of water,
and sixteen days of entertainment
of such high order and merit that
it is real wonder how SO much
can be given at such small cost
to attendants. It is grand place
for whole families to go. 1t comes
at the time of year when it is pos
sible for the farmers to attend.
The opportunity for those who
spend their lives on the farm. To
hear talented lecturers, and listen
to good music, are not many, and
we would especially tell the farm
ers to pack up some of their house.
hold effects, mattress or two,
some few cooking utensels, and
take their families to the Chautau-
qua. If they can not spare the
whole sixteen days, go for a week,
the cost is very small.
The program of entertainment
is as follows. There may be some
changes, but they will be in the
way Of more attractions:

was conciliatory but firm-asking
peace but denying the right of any
state to voluntary sever the ties
that bound them as Nation.
The South defiantly answered that
peace could be had only by leaving
them alone. Then followed the
assault upon Fort Sumter-the

The Pass Christian Beacon Is

not only emphatic but correct in
ITS advocacy for separate health
district to be formed by the three
sea coast counties. 1t says: The
coast delegation to the Legislature
must present firm and determin-
ed stand for separate health dis
trict to be formed out of the three
coast counties. There must be
no weakening or eyading of this
issue. The fight must be made
vigorous from the start and kept
up until the object is attained.
No half-hearted, luke-warm, in
different effort will satify the peo-
pie. No measure, that of its own
weight, will fall, must be attempt

from an overload of provisos must
be introduced and fought for.

representatives in both branches
of that body, and nothing less will
satisfy them"

THE GOLD STANDARD.
The Bill VIII Formerly be Presented
Next Week.

One of the measures to be IN
troduccd as soon as the new Con-
gress assemblies will be a bill to
establish the gold standard as the
sole unit of value. The commit
tee of ten prominent Republicans
appointed by the Republican eau
Gus during the last Congress to
frame bill have completed their
Iabors, and a measure will be
promptly presented as soon as
Congress assemblies.
The bin prepared is certainly an
out-and-out gold-standard mea-
sure. The first section of the bill
provides that the standard unit of
value shall be the dollar, and shall
consist of twenty-five and eight
tenths grains of gold ninetenths
fine, or twenty two one hun
dredths grains of pure gold, being
the one-tenth part of the eagle.
Another section provides that
all bonds, notes and other Obliga-
tions of the Government shall be
payable in gold, and that for all
public and private debts it shall
be understood that they are paya-
bic in gold.
Still another section provides
that treasury shall take steps to
maintain all money issued by the
Government on a parity with
gold, and the whole intent and
purpose Of the bill is to gradually
remove all features of our financial
system antagonistic to the proper
maintenance or the gold stannard.
The bill does not call for the
withdrawal of any of the existing
sorts of money, but it does strive
to make all of equal value by re-
cognizing no other unit of valne
but the gold dollar. This is the
main feature and purpose of the
bill, and less important financial
problems, such as banking and
coinage, are only incidentally
touched on.-N. o. Picayune.

False Economy.

The most successful merchant
in the United States, is by odds,
the most extensive advertiser, IN
vesting hundreds of thousands
Of dollars annually in this lucra-
tive enterprise. There are short
sighted merchants who argue that
they and their business are we'll
enough known to the public with
out the use of newspapers. John
Wanamaker, who is pretty we'll
known as the leading merchant
in Philadelphia and New York
he has not only in those cities but
one in Paris as well-does not
think that his name alone will
bring large patronage, and so pays
enormous sums to newspapers.
His advertisement occupies one of
the large pages of the Philadel-
phla Record every day. He claims
that he owes his success mainly to
his system of advertising, as, 9th
crwise, however heavy his stock
and reasonable his prices the pub
lie would never be cognizant of
the fact unless they were inform
ed through the medium of the
press-a different policy, as he
says, would be like ''winking in
the dark" "
In this connection the Record
says:
ASK the merchant who does
not use the columns of the daily
press why he does not advertise,
and nine times out of ten he will
tell you that he can't afford to do
so; that his business does not pay
expenses. Foolish man! He
doesn't reason backward from eff
feet to cause. 1t is here that the
paradox comes in. The reason he
can't afford to advertise is because
he doesn't advertise. Let him
try the experiment! Unless all
experience shall fail he will get his
money back fourfold, gospel mea-
sure. 1t is false economy to at
tempt to save money by neglecting
the surest way to bring it in.-New
Orleans States.

Porto Rico's exhibit will be a part
of that of United States, just the
same as that of State or Terrific

of Cuba will cost 1000, and the
expenses will be paid from the re-

Both of the exhibits will be large
