A large audiences was present at

speaker waS li-tenea t" with close

The speaker said in substance:
While political aid Is not to be de-

purpose Of the law ia not to make
people virtuous but to offer euconr-
agement. There are those who give
all their faith to legislation and ap-
peal to law as the great remedy for
all moral evils but no legislation
can regulate the appetite Of men.
, Appetites and passions must be
brought under the power Of reason

! what our liquor traffic will do in the
Philippine islands. In these islands
! their shortcomings under Spain WAS
not the vie OF besOtted drunkenness,
but the influence of our officers
has been most ,lebusiny to those
peaceable people.
Why is it that with all our boast
ed intelligence, this evil il so wide
spread among us? 1t ia because the
people seem to be willing that the
. traffic shall rule over them. The ar.
gument is that it is profitable and
what ver is profitable must he right,
so must be encouraged. Greed is
back OF the traffic and that on one
side and discas, Il appetite on the
other accounts tor the presence OF

the voice of public opinion.
Few have ever met who consider
that the sin OF drunkenness is not

ton and amusement to those

OF the evening will b.. the rem arks Ivy
II. W. Donovan, who was n men,
Der ot the North Dakota regiment
and served in the Philippines. Mr..
Donovan was aide to Gen. Macarthur
and had a much greater opportunity
than the average soldier to learn OF
the islands and the people, as we'll as
OF the military operations. He IL a
very interesting speaker at all times,
but on this subject his remarks will
certainly be listened to with pleasure
and profit by the people OF this city.

patton OF Philippine territory, the
capture OF Manila from the Spanish,

trouble with the natives, tn, begin
ming Of the hOstilities against the
United States authorities, and the
progress Of the various campaigns,
especially those conducted by Gen.
Macarthur, up to the time the volun-
teers We're relieved by the regulars.
The homeward trip, the trip to
Japan, the reception and incamp-
ment at San Francisco. and the
overland journey hack to North
Dakota, with it's Ovations aud well
comes, and the final reception of the
boys to their homes, are all subjects
that are extremely interesting in
detail-and especially so when
related by one OF the participants
who possesses a discriminating taste
in the employment OF words and a
captivating and pleasing delivery.
Mr. Donovan is a careful observer,
with competent Judgment to decide
correctly the features Of a scene or
event that would interest Others.
His remarks Tues 'ay evening will
certainly be rare treat to all who

Among other features will be read
ing from "Dooley," giving the views

OF the evening.
Another and Important attraction
will be an exhibit OF articles brought
from tue Philippines, including arms
and ammunition such as were used
by Americans, Spaniards aud Fill
pinos, also equipment, clothing, etc.
This exhibit will be very interesting.
The charge for the entertainment
will be 25 cents and it IL given under

IN REGARD TO CERTAIN CoArEN-
TONS.
The volume of circulation ha.
passed the $4,000, 900, 600 mark
During the year the total
amount of money in circulation
increased 1884, 100000, standing
at $2,O03, $4,000 on Feb. l.
There is more money in circu'a-
ton today than ever before, in
spite of the gold standard, the
demonstration of silver and
other Popocratic "hat-nots.
Furthermore, the net gain of
$22,7O for the month of
January was entirely in gold or
gold certificates, all other forms
of money declining slightly in
volume. This feature occurred
in spite of a certain contention
that there was not gold enough
to 20 around among the nations,
and that the people wanted
silver. Again, their was an.
other substantial advance in
prices which. though ii had no
connection with this circulation
business, is nevertheless some
what interesting in view of Ger
tain other contentious that there
could be no prosperity on a gold
standard, which meant falling
prices and general ruination.
A few other facts brought out
by Bradstreet's this week point
a moral which will be whole
some for some people. AS COM
pared with Jan. l, 1879, when
specie payments were resumed,
gold coin in circulation Feb. l,
showed an increase of $685., 600,
600 and gold certificates were
eightfold as numerous. With
strange disregard TO- the pro-
prieties of the occasion, standard
silver dollars, which were de-
monetized in 1879 and which are
composed of metal that has
been persistently insulted and
put upon by the miuions OF
Rothschild and Morgan, brboed
up unblushingly in twelve t;Ies
the volume they had in 1879,
while silver certificates rose
from Il paltry $4,000 to 1885,,
$4,000.
~< On the basis of an estimated
population of ", lie, 900 the per
capita circulation was $25.99 on
FEB. l. This was in a most
emaciated and parlus state in
1856, according to Doctors
Bryan, Towne ct al, and could
not be restored to it's pristine TO-
tundity-which it never had
without a radical change in
trea tment. However, 1t man
aged to pile on IS cents during
the year 1899, and as compared
with 1879 was quite robust. In
fact, while the population in
creased only 50 per cent, the
amount of money in circulation
increased $50 per cent, and it is
probable that the 1899 popula:
ton is overestimated by the
treasury by some 1000, 900. An
other peculiar fact is that dur
ing the twenty.one years We are
speaking Of tA5 banks, which
have been rca ping such rich mar
vests from their right to issue
banknotes, have been strangely
blind to Their opportunities for

ENGINEER
DROPS DEAD,

John r. Sheppard, 506South Paca
street, Baltimore, died suddenly
yesterday afternoon from apoplexy.
He was standing at his front door
when he was stricken and died
shortly afterward. He was 81
years old, and one Of the oldest en-
ginecis Of the b. e. o. Railroad.
Mr.. Sheppard was well known
here, having lived on Chestnut street
near Van Buren, until four years
ago, when he went with his family
to Baltimore. While here he was
member of Wesley M. +. Church,
and was an earnest Christian, tax
ing an active part in the church
work and doing much good among
the railroad men with whom he
came in daily contact. To-day his
memory is revered by them. AL
though his death came unexpectedly
he had been i'll about a year. In
February of last year, when traffic
on the b. & o. road was stopped by
blizzard and many engineers re.
fused to venture out, Mr.. Sheppard
answered the call of his employers
and took heavy cold as conse-
quence. The cold gradually eX-
tended throughout his system and
was the foundation stone of the all
ment which caused his death. He
leaves a widow and five children.

They are I. d. Sheppard, Of No.

THE PARSONS LIMIT.

He'd been preaching and exhorting
For a score Of years or SO
In portion Of the vineyard
Where the harvesting was slow,
Where the temporal inducemcnt
For his ceareless diligence
Was a promise Of four hundred
For his yearly recompense.
Unrelenting was the ardor
He devoted'to the cause,
And, though slowly came the dollars.
Still he labored without pause,
Till one day they came and told him,
As he kicked against the pricks,
That they'd raised their offered stipend
From four hundred up to six.
Then the good man sank exhausted
As he feebly made reply:
Don't, pray you. men and brethren,
Thus my patience overtry,
For 10 CLEAN the four you've promised
Hath so warped my vital store
That 'twoud kill me II you taxed ME
To collect two hundred more."
