SHOWS APPRECIATION.
Levi Cooley Gives Berlin
People a Bounti-
full Spread.

Berlin, July 21.-At the town hall last
evening about 100 men and boys sat
down to the spread provided by Levi
Cooley to show his appreciation of
their volunteer assistance when
his Lakeside residence was burned
a week ago. 7. D. Cook, a
Boston caterer, furnished the supper
Mr.. Cooley was unable to be present,
but sent letter which was read by
Henry A. Wheeler, in which he ex-
pressed the gratitude of himself and
Mrs. Cooley for the ready and efficient
help rendered in saving their effects.
So much was he pleased with Berlin as
a place of residence that he intended
rebuilding at once, and anticipated a
continuance of the pleasant relations
already established with the townspeo-
pie. A unanimous and enthusiastic
vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Cooley for the evenings entertainment.
Thomas Dooley, Mr.. Cooley's coach
man, was the only representative pres
ent from the hill
The site of Mr.. Cooley's former resi-
dence will be at once cleared of debris
preparatory to rebuilding. The new
house will cover more ground but will
be only two stories in height. The
frame is being put together in Waltham
whence it viii be shipped here. Mr.
Cooley and his family are now stopping
at their Newtonville home, but will
soon return to Berlin if they can secure
rooms during the completion of their
own home.
A somewhat peculiar series Of casual
ties has marked the occupancy of the
old Sawyer homestead by strangers. II
was purchased about 20 years ago by
the noted vocalist and teacher, Nine
Erminia Mansfield Rudersdorff, who
admired the place immensely, and
christened 1t Lakeside She occupied
the historic Sawyer mansion during her
stay in Berlin. The old barn was burned
soon after she came here. A large new
barn, which she built was, when nearly
finished, blown down by a severe gale
in July, 1879, and two men were killed
The present barn was built by her soon
afterward.
During her absence one winter the
old house was burned, and madame
never returned here. She left direc-
tions to have her body inferred meath
rocky mausoleum by the lake, but her
wishes were not carried out
The fine house burned last week was
erected by M. Reed Tyler, who sold the
place this spring to Mr.. Cooley. This
makes the fourth building destroyed on
the place within the memory of many
Of our people.
The new bell hung in the Congrega-
tional Church belfry last week is from
the foundry of Meneely Bros. of Troy,
N. Y. Its tones are heard hourly when
the town clock strikes. It weighs 1895
pounds, which is trifle under the
weight Of the old one. The latter was
cast by G. ]. Holbrook of Medford in
1885, and was of a peculiarly pleasing
tone. until so badly cracked as to de-
stroy It's usefulness. The inscription on
the new bell was drawn UP by a com
mittee consisting Of Mrs Louisa S.
Hartshorn and Mrs. Clara L. S. Eager
and is as follows.--

mary punishment to ham, and the admir-
al believes that with their leader gone
from the islands, his deluded followers
would quickly disperse and resume their
peaceful vocations.
Following closely upon the announce
ment that at the coming meeting of the
republican national coIhmittee to be held
in Washington, Chairman Mark Hanna
will retire and be succeeded 10y some
prominent republican with a national
reputation to be selected in accordance
with the suggestion of the president, is
the report that the committee will also
devote its energy to creating new appor-
tionment for delegates to the national
republican convention. At present, the
representation is based ON the total vote
of all parties, but under the contemplat.
ed plan the representation would be IN
accordance with the republican vote IN
several states. This REIMBURSEMENT would
work to the detriment of the southern
! states, but at the same time the change
would be Just in giving to the states
casting the largest republican vote
the right to a larger representation
the national councils.
General Miles, since his return from a
tour of inspection of the army posts in
the West, is more firmly convinced thar
ever that the standing army of the United
States should be permanently increased
to $1,000 men. This belief is based upor

The Currency Bill.

The house currency bill, which will
probably be passed without material
modification, as the fulflllment OF the
republican promises of currency reform,
is an excellent measure and would surely
do much to give stability to the business
affairs of the country, and to continue
the prosperous condition that the mere
promise of the reform was sufficient to
bring about,
The principal provisions of the bill are
as follows:
An unequivocal declaration is made
for the continuation OF the gold standard.
One e-fourth of the outstanding green
backs and treasury notes is fixed as the
amount of the permanent gold reserve,
and whenever the reserve is depleted by
the redemption of such notes, they are
to remain in the treasury until paid out
in exchange for gold again, thus doing
away with the "endless chain" that has
in times past worked such serious havoc
with the gold reserve.
Authority is given the secretary of the
treasury to coin silver bullion as needed
for subsidiary circulation, retiring an
equal amount of treasury notes; also to
recoin defaced or abraded silver coins.
As the larger silver certificates come into
the treasury, 81, 81 and 50 denominations
are TO be issued in their stead, thus max
ing difficult their accumulation 10y bank
ers for raiding the gold reserve.
National banks, if the bill becomes law,
will be permitted to issue notes to the
full par value of the bonds deposited,
without any tax on the circulation. And
why not? Uncle Sans bonds are always
worth more than their face value; If they
were not, the governmental guarantee
back of national bank issues would lose its
force. The bank currency is convenient
and absolutely safe and, under existing
laws, not profitable to the banks. An en-
largement of the national bank currency
with in the limits of safety to its holders
will be valuable to the business inter
ests of the country.
As always with republican pledges, the
currency promises of the party will be re-
deemed, and safe, stable monetary sys-
tennis bound to be the result.
The true northerner., 1899-12-06

a conclusion that this country should
have at least one Soldier for every 1000
OF inhabitants, an Exceedingly low pro-
portion when the enormous forces of
France, Germany and Russia are taken
into consideration. In his annual re-
port General Miles will, it is said, recon
mend that the army be fixed at $4,000
men.
All fear of disagreement between the
house and the senate relative to a cur
rency measure now seems about to be
avoided, and it is the belief of those most
perfectly informed that the measure, sub
stantially as prepared by the house com
mittee which met last summer, will be
accepted by the senate and promptly
passed by both houses. For the first
time in many years, the republicans are
in controls of the senate without regard
to the votes of the silverites and the pop
ulists, which were so long essential to
republican supremacy. At present, the
republicans have l6 votes more than
the combined opposition forces, and
tais fact alone, it is declared by some OF
the leading republican senators, should
assure an farly passage of the gold stand
ard law, since the republican party is
pledged 60 enact gold legislation both 10y
its promises in the platform of 1896 and
in the subsequent platforms adopted 10y
the organizations in the several states.
The true northerner., 1899-12-06

AT the meeting of the national repub-
lican. committee, December II, resolu-
ton will be introduced recommending a
change in the basis of representation in
the national conventions, so that the
number of delegates will be apportion-
ed in proportion to the number OF
republican votes cast in the several
states. While this method would be
an innovation, it would be eminently
just. There is not the slightest reason
why the whole number of votes cast in 6
state should be basis of republican rep
resentation. The Northerner hopes the
new plan will be adopted. If it is
Michigan will have five additional dele
gates.

Every Jacket is sold at just one
third off the original price--the old
price-tickets are on every garment, and
every reduction is absolutely honest
Our cloak stock has made this
store famous, embracing as it does the
best productions Of Eastern and Wes-
tern makers, perfect in fit, finish and
material, and showing, even in the
lowest priced garments, the attention
to minute details that adds durability
and ShapelinesS.
The sale Of these goods at third
off is due solely to the backwardness
of the season. We will not carry
goods over, and the loss might just as
we'll come now as at any other time
To get garments with style, char
acter and perfection in every detail at
this price, just at the beginning Of
winter, is an opportunity that comes
perhaps once in lifetime.
The sale will continue all this
week and until further notice---but, Of
course, the early buyers will get the
cream.

THE claim made by General Methuen
that the battle of Modder River was ''the
bloodiest battle of the century" was
simply ridiculous. The entire British
loss was 43S, six per cent, while at the
battle of Antietam the union loss was II,
600, 30 per cent. General Methuen was
wounded and lost some of his own blood
and that made it the "bloodiest battle
for Methuen.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. D, 1899.-Now
that Admiral Dewey has once more
positively declared that he has no presi
Dental ambitions and that he hopes Mr.
Mckinley will be renominated and re
elected, since the president is his firm
friend, those political malcontents who
have been seeking successor to Mr.. Nc
Kinley as the republican nominee, will
be obliged to look elsewhere. Whatever
sense there was in the suggestion of Ad-
miral Dewey for an opposition candidate
has thus far failed to come to light. Up.
on eycfy question of public import since
the crash of the admiral's guns inside
Corregidor, the president and he have
been wholly in accord, comforting conf
dentially in each other as each new emer-
gency presented itself. Furthermore
Admiral Dewey from the time the presi-
dental suggestion was stated to him,
has firmly declared that he believed that
a candidate for the presidential office
should be a trained statesman, and in
the latest interview, as well as in his
previous public and private utterances,
he has adhered to this opinion. His in
stancing of Taylor and Grant as war
heroes whose lustre was dimmed by the
presidential chair, is potent as well as
practical demonstration of the admiral's
recognition of his unfitness for the exalt-
!. ed office. No less interesting at this

pheticN idea of the ministry, seems to
Dr. Mcconnell to be partly RESPONSE
BILE for the small amount of money paid
for the support of churches. In the
dioceses in which the extreme rituals
tic practices prevail there is little gen.
crosby and small missionary contribu-
tons. The people pay for what they
want. DIR. Mcconnell concludes that
there Is no great demand for a priest in
the Episcopal Church. The people care
more for man who breaches the Cos
pei than for one who acts as an inter-
nlediary. Then, again, the growth Of an
erroneous impression concerning the
meaning of a free church affects in
come. The gospel is free, but the in
stitutions for it's propagation can not
be maintained without money. The de-
mand for free church has weakened
the manly fibre of the laty in many
dioceses.
One of the remedies that has been
suggested in the Episcopal Church for
this state of affairs is a celibate clergy,
but DR.. Mcconnell thinks the Church
had better bear it's present ills than fly
