NEVER TOUCHED
STRONG LIQUOR

Not over a dozen bow-shots beyond the
northern boundary of the District resides an
old gentleman who, IL he should find his

wax too wroth for the comfort of any one
around him, and he certainly would see it,
for his first duty every morning Is to read
from the first to the last column of the
paper issued on the day before, and there
by keep himself posted on what Is going on.
One day last week two young men were
strolling in the vicinity of this old fellows
place and encountered him as he toiled up
steep hill, with his hands behind his back,
as If in some pain. Both knew him very
well and asked him the cause of his wearied-
looking appearance
The old fellow seemed to be as mad as a
hornet. He said to his friends: ct have been
grossly insulted; that's what's the matter"
and then he explained things: Il have not
been feeling in my usual frst-class health
lately and have been to see DOCTOR Now,
what do you think that man said to me?'
or course, neither of them could imagine
that the medicine man would say anything
discourteous or unfriendly to patient, so
they allowed him to elucidate further.
THAT doctor" he growled, punched me
and prodded me and took all sorts of llber-
ties with me. and then he said that the
cause Of my trouble was lumbago That
was downright insult. Both of you boys
know" said he. II never drank drop Of
strong liquor in all my life. I don't cali on
that doctor any more"
plain matters and exonerate the physician
but the old gentleman was In an Irritable
mood, and to have done so might not have
bettered the situation.

Beard ]. c. Lewis. E. Burnett and F. H.
Stickney. A letter was received from the
Second (Navy Yard Church expressing
Christian sympathy. but declining to send
delegates because they deemed 1t unneces-
sary. Upon an invitation to all the minis
tiers and brethren to take seats and partici-
pate in the council. the following additional
delegates were enrolled: Rev. Eugene Kin
caid, missionary to Burmah; Rev. Thomas
Jones Of Rockville, Nd; Rev. s. H Mirick,
Rev. G. w. Dorrance. John I. Given. Ed

When the civil war came on, like other
churches, this one suffered, and 1t needed
the heroic efforts of the pastor and the
working members to keep the congregation
together. There was a decline numerically
and financially. and for some months 1t
seemed that nothing but an abandonment of
the work would result. The congregation
was unable to pay the pastor and the other
expenses of the church, and in 1853 DR..
Meador resorted to secular employment,
but still served the congregation. In few
years the faithful members were rejoced
by increasing interest. and by 1865 were
able to report that the church was out of
debt and every interest of the church was
prospecting.

Silver Giving Way to Paper.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
Evidently silver as currency is becoming
unpopular, even in the west. Merchants in
that section complain that they cannot de-
post the .slyer in their local subtreasuries
and receive notes In exchange. The Secre-
tary Of the Treasury is to investigate this
complaint, and II. as he thinks probable.
the trouble Is caused by a lack of vault
room for storing the silver. steps will be
taken to provide better facilities. What
ever may have been Its popularity as a
money standard during the political cam
paigns of 1896 and 1900. there has not been
for years a general demand for silver dol
lars by the great mass OF our population.
Here In the east they have long been looked
ON with disfavor people Infinitely preferring
their paper representatives. That now ap-
pears to be the case in the west also. The
demand for paper advances while that for
silver dollars remains practically station
ary Our standard silver dollar weighs
1925 grains, or about twenty-five grains
less than an ounce ayoirdupois. Roughly
speaking, 1t may be accepted as weighing
one ounce, so that no large amount of
money can be carried In the white metal
without entailing the transportation of q
burdensome weight. Although our circula-
ton per capita is in excess of S31, the re-
ports do not show in the circulation one
silver dollar for each person In the coun-
try While the total amount of money In
circulation approximates So, COO. 000. COO. only
about $50 OO0, coo of this sum is covered by
silver dollars. The representatives of sill
yer, silver certificates. account for not far
from S4S0,000 900. while subsidiary silver
makes up more than 500 100000. 1t Is rea-
sonable to suppose that the bulk of the sil-
yer dollars actually in circulation are to be
found IN the west and SOUTH and now that
the west is demanding paper rather than
silver the government may find difficulty
in keeping even the present number of cart
wheel dollars In use.

Lord Goschen on Schiller.
From the London Times.


Apropos of the centenary of Schiller.
which will occur May 0. a celebration In
memory OF the writer. promoted by the
German Goethe and University German
Societies Of Edinburgh was held In the
Music Hall. Edinburgh. the other evening
Sir William Turner. principal OF Edin-
burgh University. presided. Lord Goschen
said that under the guidance Of his grand
fathers spirit he seemed to have lived in
close communion with Schiller, to have
grasped his nature and comradeship. One
feature of Schiller's lofty nature was his
sense or personal greatness, which was
with him from the first. He had a splen-
did belief in himself and In the purity Of
his aims and power to accomplish them.
From the first he intended to work for the
world and grandly did he live I'D to his
Ideal. Schiller was an idealist; idealism
with him was the driving force He be-
lieved In the greater perfectibility of man
by moral means. by the spell of art. and by
grace and dignity. He looked upward not
downward, for the subjects of his canvases
He would have thought that he had soiled
nus soul II he had taken in hand the real
lstlc pen which in these later days drew de-
tailed and revolving pictures of the seamy
side of life. He stood out as one of the
purest writers who ever achieved immortal
iame Inc Key to his immense hold on the
imagination of the German people was not
to be found In his literary supremacy alone.
for Goethe had done more for literature.
Schiller had done more for national life
and humanity. He still stood out as
glorious figure on a pedestal which a hun
dred years had left mistaken, with laurels
on his brow still green. and long night II
be before iconoclastic criticism or mystical
uninteifgibies weakened the hold on gen.
erations to come Of Schiller, the poet and
the man.

colors will rule In summer dress. Thus,
loose suits of white serge and flannel. white

white was launched a year ago at Aiken

by the younger set. White Is so obviously
the cleanliest and comeiest color for the
grilling days. that it needed only to be in

season brings some special form or color
that has the endorsement above all others

summer white is distinctly the thing.
Dressing correctly is resolving itself more
and more into matter of personal taste.
Few of the upper-class tailors agree on
any one feature of clothes but each seeks
to affix individuality of his own 10 the
clothes that he cuts. Hence there is a
noticeable want of uniformity in this sea-
