With proud distinction the town of
York may lay positive claim to having
been the first chartered city upon the
American continent. 1t seems to the
York Transcript that this fact should
afford marked recognition in histori-
cal way and insure for the town
place of prominence in national events
of chronological order. Just go years
ago York. then known as Gorgeana,
was granted city charter But a
number of years previous to this York
was n permanent and furnishing
settlement of about 300 souls, and its
old Jail which is monument Of those
early days, and is undoubtedly the
oldest building in the country. is still
standing. The managers of the H. Nt
worlds fair to be held in the nit"d
States could do m better than turn To
York for 4 historical exhibit from the
first city Of the nation. Certainty
York holds credentials for such
recognition.

A Whitneyville correspondent thinks
that every town in the State should be
provided with a good history and that
there is both talent and data enough
to bring this about. Certainly such
works would be Of much value as
every one that is a conscientious deVo-
tee of this style of work becomes
valuable contributor to the prominent
historical literature Of the State. The
fact remains, however. that no living
man has ever yet attained wealth by
writing town histories. The glory Is
there, but it is neither a satisfactory
nor a sustaining diet. 1t may do far
~ well for dessert but most people re
auire something more nourishing for
their daily fare. Every town history
that has ever been written in TINS
State has been n labor of love on the
part of some good citizen. 1t calls Tor
the devoting OF weeks and months OF
his leisure time and doubtless many Of
his own good dollars, with ofttimes
few thanks and fewer financial re-
turns to reward him for his outlay
and industry. Still to man who has
plenty of leisure the preparation OF
such a history must always be a
source Of qualification and pleasure,
and besides that will constitute a
better and more enduring monument
for him than could possibly be turned
out in a marble shop.

MISUNDERSTANDING
About the Hall Caused Some Diff

Through a misunderstanding it was
announced yesterday evening that the
democrats would hold a rally in the
opera house last night but the house
had already been engaged for the past
three weeks for the We Will Enter

noon Mr.. Stanton called upon Mr.. Cas-

night Mr. Cassidy told him that he
could dc nothing for him as the We

dress rehearsal there last night. but
that if he could make some arrange
ments with them it would be all right.
Mr.. Stanton then called Mr.. Morriss
up and through a misunderstanding
secured his permission to use the
house. AS soon as the executive COM
mittee heard of the change they called
Mr.. Morriss and informed him of the
first agreement and how it would be
impossible to give the entertainment
unless the dress rehearsal was held in
the same place that the show was to
be given.
When Mr.. Morriss heard how things

The entertainment will be given this
evening. The curtain will go ap
promptly at SIS. and everything will
run smoothly the rest of the evening.

CONMENDa ABLE MOVEMENT
TO Organize d United Charities In
This City.

To the Ministers and Pastors of Ell
PaSO:
AS city grows. new demands are
made on its citizens and eXigencieS
arise that must be solved and settled.
The larger a city is, the greater are
the claims both moral and material
made upon the individual citizens AMI
of all demands that ale urged upon
the citizens, none exasperate them
so'much and none deprive them OF val
slant begging in streets and stores and
at homes of the professional oeggar
and tramp.
Beside this. there will always be
found great deal of suffering, as the
cold weather draws nigh. which does
not come under the surveillance of
any church organization and which
ought to be provided for.
Now nearly all the money that is
wasted upon the professional beggars
could be turned with far better result
to the relief of the needy poor.
| would ask therefore. that all the
clergymen of this city, Protestant and
Catholic. meet on Friday. November
3. 1900. at 10 a. m. in the study of
Temple Mt. Sinai. Boulevard near
Oregon. in order to discuss ways and
means for the organization of Uni
ted charities.
Let us meet and council together to
alleviate what suffering we can and
dispense true charity for our fathers
sake. Fraternally yours.
