ing the entire day. In order to make the
occasion a success, Dr. Bingham was
chosen chairman, who called the vast au-
dence to order, and requested Mr.. Abram
Rotten a most intelligent, Christian gen
tleman, to conduct religious services. Az
ter song and prayer an address of wei
come was delivered by MI Linney who,
at the conclusion of his address, in fitting
terms introduced Mr.. Dougherty as tie
only poetic genius of the State who could
with rhapsodical effect portray the wealth
OF scenery and possibilities of the Rich
Mountains.

tain City, Silverstone, Zionyvlle and

spot on the "Taser Hill' occupied by the
poet and one of the largest gatherings Of
the best citizens of our great State who
had met to honor the great poet and
darling old bachelor of the mountains,
Adam Mast Dougherty.
The English language in prose IS too
poor to convey an adequate conception of
the merits of the great production All
agreed that it was the richest intellectual
feast to which they had ever been invit-
ed The recital of the poem by M.
Dougherty, its author, consumed one
hours time, and the attention of the vast
audience throughout its delivery was per
feet. At its close Mr.. Dougherty was
given an ovation that must have touched
his heart. The vast audience of ladies
and gentlemen who had obtained seats
upon the rocks of this lofty peak, invol
UNFAIRLY sprang to their feet and three
rousing cheers in which the sweet voices
of the ladies could be distinctly heard
with those of the gentlemen, in honor Of
the great poet and in recognition of the
true merits of the wonderful poem rang
out over the mighty mountain.
All agreed that Mr. Dougherty had done
a great service to his State, and upon
motion the request was entered by the
secretaries, Profs. Greer and Curtice, that
the newspapers of the State would pub
lish the poem.
The dinner given by Mr.. Linney was
much enjoyed by all who could get to the

MONEY OF MEXICO.
Changed Conditions in the Republic
Demand Gold Standard.
From the Mexican Herald.

From the Mexican Herald
We are quite willing TO approve the gen.
eral argument of the very able and intelli-
gent British consul here, Mr. Lucien Je-
rome, that silver has powerfully aided in
making the present prosperity of Mexico
Cheap silver money for years did much to
attract foreign capital into this country; It
served to force on the development of Mex
leo, and 1t did it's work effectively, as was
long ago predicted by Mr.. Jerome's prede-
cessor Mr.. Garden, now British minister at
Havana.
But times have changed, and Mexico is
now, by virtue of her great railways to the
north. a part of the North American COM
mercal system. the other parts being Cam
ada and the United States. both countries
on gold basis Moreover Mexico has now
joined the great circle of civilized nations
where gold is the basis of the currency
Much money has been borrowed abroad to
stimulate the works of material improve
ment initiated by President Diazs admins
tration, and on this a heavy gold interest
has to be met The latest. borrowing to Sc
cure money for the purpose of buying
shares in The railways in which the govern
ment has heavily invested, requires more
gold interest. Then there is also, tho
heavy demand on Mexico TOR gold to pay
foreign investors dividends on their place
ments of capital in this country. From
many quarters word has come that there
can be no further heavy investment of capt.
tai here, much needed for the develop
ment of the country, unless Mexico stabil-
ICES her currency.
The proposed sterilization of the currency
meets with approval abroad among bankers
and capitalists, and in the serious section
of the foreign press. The country will no
more throw silver overheard than Peru,
another large silver-producing country. has
done by fixing her sol at 30 cents gold value.
Silver is going to be great factor in the
prosperity of the country: the mines will
turn out the white metal for use in Asia as
money, for subsidiary and token money in
Europe, and for use in the arts. We do not
believe that the silver output Of this coun-
try will be diminished by the measure now
under consideration and to which the best
thought of the government and specially
convened eXnerts has been given.

In a highly respectable, II not fashionable

summer the better half remained away nine
weeks. During that time the temporary

sometimes preferred meals Of his own prep

neighbors noted the following peculiarities:
The first step toward getting dinner was to
