THE MYSTERY SOCIAL.

There was a large attendance of the
members and friends Of the Y. n. G. A.
at the hall last evening. A most pleasing
entertainment was given. the affair be-
ing termed "a Mystery Reception" on
account of Its decided novelty.
There were seven features; Reflections,
wierd and fancy concert TIA liano; weird
twisters; not a water spout; picked up
treat; notes from her highnsss; flying tire
from below. All of these were explained.
The reflections were stereopticon views;
ths coEcert was by automaton warbiers
and was the hit Of the evening; the weird
twisters we're tumhlers; not water spout
was boy speaking q piece; a picked W
treat was music furnished by mandolin Z
and guitars; notes from her highnsss wat
a soprano solo by Miss Taylor and tyin g
fire fIom below was an exhibition Of
swinging torches.
Major Glsndenning also made a
patriotic speech.

NEW STREETS.

Mayor Robinson will call meeting OF
the committee on laying out new streets.
probably on Friday, to consider the pc
tition for alteration Of the line Of the
CHI Island avenue and to receive re-
port from Com M issioner of Public Works
Fernal3, relative to the line Of Brentwood
street.
The proposed alteration Of Island ave-
nue. will decrease its estimated cost and
accommodate owners Of island real e.
tatss. Ths committee will probably re-
port favorably on the petition.
In the brentwood matter legal ques-
ton Is involved. 1t Is asssrted,that several
houses snoroach on the street line, which
has not been run for a number Of years
and Is somewhat obscure.
Some Of the houses have stood more
than twenty years, and, If the line cannot
he ascertainsd, they could only be To-
moved on payment on damages to the
owners. On the other hand, II the street
commissioner can ascsr tain the exact
line, forty years tenancy would be nsoes-
sary to hold the land and the houses could
be removed without the award Of dam
agss. Com missioner Fernald Is not yet

they have their share of this ornamental

When SO many who have the affairs Of

On Some Streets.
Tate, Tying and Chadwick Ex-
cepted From Location.

There was another hearing on the loca-
tion Of poles before the mayor aud board
of aldermen yesterday nfternoo which
developed the usual number Of remon-
strants, tho customary lectures on cleo
trlcal matters, and ended as ell OF these
hearings have ended lntsly, by the Port
land Electric Light company's withdraw
ing some of its poles on several streets
and the granting Of the petition for the
rest Of the locations asked for.
After the disposal Of an insane case
which TOOK up s)me time the board took
into consideration the petition Of the New
England Telephone and Telegraph CON-
pany for the location Of some poles to be
used In connection with their conduit
system without Argument or opposition
locations were granted this company for
poles on Somerset, Munjoy. Montg omery.
st. Lawrence. Spring, Vesper. Crescent,
Dapforth, Grove and Park streets. but
only a few poles on each Of these streets.
The petition of the Portland Electric
Light company asked for many more
poles on streets mostly on the southerly
side of Congress street.
Mr.. Francis L. Littleheld appeared as q
rsmonstrant against the erection Of poles
on Tate street, saying that he represent ted
the people on that street who objected to
the placing there Of four polea He said
that this street was one of the narrowest
In the city and had been lighted by two
incandescent lamps. One pols on the
street leaves only seventeen inches be
tween 1t and the fence. He said that peo-
pie had said q great deal about the bad
things the Consolidated Electric Light
company had done, but that company
never mad the nerve to ask for locatio n
of poles on Iats street. That company
had reached it's incandsscent lamps on
Tate street by purchasing the right to
place a pole In Gurney's wood yard and
Mr. Littletield said ne thought the Port
land company could do the same thing II
they tried very hard.
Mr.. G. A. Strout appeared as remon.
strant against the erection of poles on
Tying street four being petitioned for on
that street above York. He said that he
represented the owners of about all Of the
property on that street VIII. preferred that
the street should be lighted by Wellsbach
gas lamps rather than have the arc light
there II 1t required SO many poles to reach
1t. MIR. Strout suggested that an arc
light might be placed on the street IL the
trees could be used from which to sus-
pend the lamp. This brought out dis
cussion as to whether the stringing OF
wires through the trees was dangerous or
not and about the danger to the public In
the transmission of $500 volts which Prof
Bell said were necessary to operate fifty
light circuit. After long discussion 1t
was agreed that the poles assei for on
Tying street should be withdrawn from
the petition and light placed at the
head of the stree. by means of the trees
on the corner.

Presi dents Of France.

The present republic of France was
established in 1870. 1t is the third
time France has been a republic.
The presidents are elected for seven
years and the position does not seem
to be one that insures long life or
happiness in office.
The first president was Theirs. He
resigned owing to a political upheaval.
The second was MacMahon. He
r,signed.
The third one was the brillian t
statesman, Gambetta, who died sud-
denly-murdered it is said, by his
mistress.
The next was Grevy. He was in
his second term when the scandal
over the sale of the Legion of Honor
decorations. by his son-in-law, M.
Wilson, led to his resignation.
The next was Sadi Carnot, the
second or third Carnot to serve
France in high office and with true
patriotic heart and Judgment. He
was assassinated by an Italian revolu-
zionist.
Next came Casimir-P erier, who
after three months of office, resigned
because of differences with the mill
tary authorities over the prosecution
of Dreyfus.
Then came Faure, seventh president
of France under the third republic.
He has made a fair executive. He
died suddenly. G. Press.

Hoary Errors.

1t is an opinion, hoary with age,
that gold and silver are money with
out any action by the supreme power
in a nation. Writers on political econ
omy, who have had chairs in our col
leges instructing the youth in science,
have diligently propagated this gross
error.
The distinguished scholar and
writer, John Locke, defined money
to be gold and silver, because these
are the substances upon\ which the
mighty power of the state imposes its
stamp, or seal, and calls it money.
These are claimed to have the money
function without any action on the
part Of the state.
Without the fiat of government
gold is no more money than lead or
iron. A five dollar Treasury note and
a lump of gold of a given weight and
fineness are of the same money value
by virtue OF the seal of the sovereign
power. Gold and silver are not
money, but substances selected by the
state on which to impress the seal
and call them money. Money is not
a thing, but a legal function of a
thing. It is the stamp which gives
to the precious metals their precious
ness, and not the metals which gives
value to them as money. Ii the ma
tons which coin these metals and
give them their legal tender quality
would degrade them into companion
ship with nickel or copper, they have
only to strip them of their enfran-
chisement as money to satisfy the
most credulous that the worshippers
OF the golden calf would be seeking
some other object Of worship.
There are SO few valuble uses 10
which gold and silver can be applied
that if shorn Of their money function
they would be comparatively worth
less. If not an ounce of either was
added to the stock on hand there
would be enough for commodity use
to last for fifty years, and, OF course
very cheap. We do not thus speak
of the precious metals to render them
less valuable or less objects of desire.
Our object in fully and freely dis
cussing the subject is to c%ounteract
the influence of college professors
and others who are indoctrinating
The people with false theories and
doctrines.
When an individual is a gold advo-
cate because of the intrinsic value of
The metal we pity his ignorance and
stupidity, and we have an earnest de-
sire to aid him in getting a knowledge
