history Of it's own, for it originally stood in

The den of Mr.. Meyer Is at the rear OF
the drawing room. 1t Is long and narrow;
notable for its collection of autograph
prints Of the governors Of Massachusetts
from Gov. Endicott. down to the present

member OF the legislature in Boston he
made similar collection of the speakers Of

These rooms were originally the older

Is said that few men can speak more for

But ordinarily he is the most pacific and

have had the effect of mellowing a dispos-

have become somewhat autocratic through
authority and years Of nerve-racking work
The rear admiral's greatest favorites are

But Robley decided in favor Of Washing
stand for the Union. 1t was a decision that
cost him many heartburnings. for 1t was
many years before his mother forgave him.

never wavered in their friendship despite
the divergence in their political views
Evans active service began in the West
Indies, where he commanded a yacht sent
to search for Confederate privateers. He
was first under fire at Fort Fisher. and was
wounded in that gallant land attack when
a brigade of sailors so effectually assisted
the army in subduing Fort Fisher.
Evans was badly wounded in this fight.
In fact, it was first decided that both his
legs would have to be amputated, which
would, of course, have ended the career Of
one Of the foremost captains Of today.
But even then Evans had that swiftness
of action that marks him today. AS soon
as the doctors communicated to him their
decision to take off his legs he drew his
revolver and announced that he would blow
off the head Of the first man who dared
approach him. No coaxing ayailed, and
adopting new measures the physicians
worked with him and managed to restore
him to health with both legs intact

no secret that Great Britain sympathized

In the teeth OF the protests Of the Chilean

Of an attack he would lombard the city.

the Babu station master at Simba the fol-
lowing telegram marked urgent:
Lion is platform. Please instruct
guard and driver to proceed carefully and
without signal In yard Guard to advise

in getting in a blow from the shoulder on

MONEY SYSTEM
NON-ELASTIC
SECRETARY SHAW SAYS
MORE MONEY NEEDED-NOT
POSSIBLE TO MAKE ELASTIC
CURRENCY.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. H.
Former Secretary of the Treasury
Leslie M. Shaw was the guest of
honor and principal speaker at the
annual chamber of commerce dinner
last night.
There were indications as early
as August said Mr.. Shaw, that
people were withdrawing money and
locking it up, 1t was the insipient
symptom of disease that always
shows itself in this way. In addi-
tion, increased commercial activity
incident to the return to business
of men from summer vacations, a
ripening crop and the inlaying of
stocks of merchandise caused an I'M
precedented demand for money. Still,
the aggregate volume remained fix
ed and non-elastic.
Had the national banks been en-
powered to issue additional circula-
tion equal to so per cent of their
capital without deposit to secure
its redemption, but subject to a tax
of per cent, an aggregate increase
OF $500, 10000 would have been
possible and $2OO,0OO,OO0 would
very likely have been issued. The
people would have carried to their
safe deposit vaults or taken home for
concealment national bank note as
! readily as a gold certificate, and
they would have been just as safe.
THE redemption of the national
bank note is now guaranteed by the
government, for it is secured by a de-
post of government bonds which are
direct obligations of the government.
grant that it is illogical for the
government to guarantee bank notes,
but the people have become so &C
customed to the money bearing IN
one form or another the obligation
of the government, it would be will
| ing to concele the guarantee to this
suggested additional issuance Of
bank notes.

made. A letter was received from
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
in which they invite the Commercial
club to furnish a sectional piece of
white pine log, to be used as a
guests register. The secretary was
ordered to call on the Potlatch Lum-
Der company and secure fine speci-
men, which will be used, the credit
being given Lewiston.
Secretary L. G. Monroe of the Spo-
kane Chamber of Commerce sent a
request for more Lewiston literature,
the supply being exhausted. Addi-
tional pamphlets will be mailed at
once
Secretary Rohrabacher announced
that he had received letter from
Rogers & Co. of Chicago advising
that the shipment of booklets would
be ready Nov. Is. They should reach
Lewiston by November 20. This is
the Observation-Disclosures booklet
which will picturesquely advertise
the Lewiston country.
A letter was also received from
c. w. Mott, immigration agent of the
Northern Pacific, advising the club
that he would work in conjunction
with the club. The secretary will
furnish Mr.. Mott with the names of
persons who inquire of the club sec
rotary regarding the country. Mr..
Mott will send his agents to the To-
calities and endeavor to secure set
tiers from the localities.
The secretary received a map of
the state, which is now hanging in
the clubroom. It was sent by sena-
tor Hepburn and shows the recently
created forest reserves.
