Cages Ni.taks.

Secretary Gage has made a sort
of semiofficial statement that free
coinage will not increase the de-
mand for silver. He says that the
mint would merely take the metal,
coin it and hand it back to the
owner. We are afraid that Mr..
Gage is inclined TO be tricky in
some of his statements. In this
one he left out the most material
and important part of the propo-
sition. Fer the government to
simply take the silver, mix little
copper with it, fashion it into
round pieces bearing certain in
scriptions and designs aud hand 1t
back in its changed form Usuld not
create any additional demand or
give it any higher value, usless In
its changed forn it possessed a
greater utility than it did before
and were consequently in great de
mand. This, however. is exactly
what does takes place when silver
is coined into legal tender money.
AS mere bullion not one person in
500 has any particular use for it,
but as money everybody wants it
and will giVealmSst anything he has
in exchange for it. Hence greater
demand and greater value. Try
again, Mr.. Gage,-Ex.

At the Churches Sunday.
NJ. E. CHURCH sonrH


 The attendance at the morning ser vices was larger than usual, and the interest was general and marked. At the union services in the evening, the house was crowded, and many could not get seats. Rev Fl. R. Schermer- horn occupied the pulpit this sermon closing his ministry in Mena. The text was" Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap" It's treatment was plain, natural and very impress sive. After the sermon the pastor spoke briefly of the pleasure and bene- fit he had derived from the association of Mr. Scherme Thorn, and how he re- gretted his loss to himself and the community. The congregation gem erally, joined heartily in this tribute of esteem Mir. Schermerhorn then spoke few well-chosen words in re ciprocation, and closed with a hearty "God bless you.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Sunday attendance at St Agnes church was the largest of any since the dedication of the church last spring, by Bishop Fitzgerald. It being Passion Sunday, when the cross is yelled till Good Friday, Father Galli- gher's sermon naturally touched on the sufferings of Christ for the human race and the necessity that, at this time, arise, from a consideration of the Redeemer's act, in the mind of every true Christian, to purify the heart and soul in order to partake of the joys of the redemption on Easter Sunday. Next Sunday being Palm Sunday, it was announced that the pastor would not go to Huntington for that day, but would celebrate the feast here, with mass at the usual hour.
 At three clock the choir met to practice for the Easter services The music and hymns for that day are to be very choice.

--e)ne of the most enloyable lectures ever
given In the Auditorium was heard last
evening. Mrs. Mabel Loomis Todd. was
the speaker and "An Eclipse In Aime

ried her hearers with her. on the little
yacht "Corcnet" from San Francisco,
across the great Pacific to Japan. She
took them. by means Of her magic words,
through that delightful country, and
irir iuced them to the various members
CT the Amherst eclipse expedition. With
her they laughed ar the quaint English
OF the interpreter, ami with her they
visited the strange Alme houses, and saw
how these barbarous people lived. The
special interest of this lecture, however.
was when Mrs. Todd, with her vivid
word pictures. described the eclipse itself
Tho gradual darksning OF earth and
sky. the puzzled fear of the animals, the
Intense excitement OF ALL those who had
observations to make, the glorious aud

most interesting OF these vera the pio-

Todd of Amherst, SO delicate that they

great that they, By electrical oontrivancs,
could take hundreds Of pictures OF the

witches was not yet over.

sit requires great deal of skill to roll
n cigarette Ia Mexicana," said a tobac-
co dealer, "and I've watched the natives
do it many a time without being able to
initiate the performance. The average
Mexican, from peon to upper middle
class, carries handful of granulated to-
ibacco wrapped up in q piece of rag or
the corner OF q handkerchief. When he
wants to smoke, which is about every
i've minutes, he produces, let us say, a
bit OF husk, spreads pinch of tobacco on
1t iengthwise and twists it into a cylinder
by giving 1t a sort of sidelong slap
against his thigh. How he imparts the
necessary rolling motion was never able
TO understand. and granulated tobacco is
much more difficult to manipulate than
the ordinary long cut.
white paper for cigarette making Is
almost totally unknown once you cross
the Rio Grande, and American tobacco
houses doing large business in the re-
public have found it necessary to substi-

straw paper chiefly used in this country
by butchers and grocers for wrapping up
parcels. 1t has slight favor that soon
becomes rather pleasant than otherwise. /"
