Instances wherein clergymen, call

attendant on dinners, luncheons and
other social gatherings of business
men, club men, politicians and the

iastically and fittingly into the spirit
of the occasion are about las

AT the tenth anniversary celebration
of the Merchants association, how
ever, the Rev. DR.. Nehemiah Boyn-
ton of New York wrote himself down
among the most distinguished of the
exceptions. In an impressive speech
that some of his brethren might call
unconventional he talked shop" to
the assembled merchants and their
friends in way that went straight
home to them, but without the slight
est surrender of the dignity of the
cloth and adroitly preserving mean
time religious strain that was de-
lightful because suggestive merely
rather than solemn and ponderous.
One of the staples in which Dominic
Boynton trades, he said, is Faith
and you and the market have been
very short of that commodity of late.
And, developing and singing the
changes on that key note in a manner
that disclosed that he is a keen OBJ
server of men and things secular and
is no ascetic in his point of view of
the ways of world wicked and
otherwise, he finally told his audi
tors that commercial faith begins
with mans confidence in himself
to do his business in an honorable
fashion, but that it does not end

TEACH BUSINESS EARLY!

Perhaps one of the most impress
sive lessons of the financial disturb
ances through which we have been
passing is that forced upon us by
very general lack of knowledge,
among the industrial and other wage
earning and even the salary earning
classes, of general business methods;
to many of them, indeed, the most
elementary principles of ordinary
business, not to mention banking and
the higher and wider fields of COM
merce, are as a closed book. Be they
never so thrifty and cautions and
shrewd, they are ignorant of chow
it all happens, how it is all DONE
They never Stop to think of how it
is that one grocer can sell sugar or
coffee or soap cheaper than another
or how and where the articles that
they daily buy and consume come
from and what numerous and DIVERSE
fed factors enter into their cost.

rently more than the ordinary in

embezzlement; when asked how it

Myriads of New York men and
women, many of them with good
common school education, too, have
lost or sacrificed much of their saw
ings in recent months and weeks
largely through their ignorance of
the primary principles OF business
and banking Had they all been

the varying values of a dollar, in

THE hOOSIER GIRL

At the Alma Opera House on next
Wednesday night The Hoosier Girl''
known as being the most delightful pas
toral comedy, promises TO score a local
hit. 1t is said TO be a great accession to
the list of comedy successes, as the bright
jollity of the farce creates no end of mer-
riment. II has every reason for succeed
ing. for it is acted by capital company,
including the world-famed Kate Watson
i'll the title role, and it is SO distinctly
novel in scheme and development that it
furnishes what most people like best, a
diversion from accepted standard. The
plot is good and will keep you guessing.
The incidents are immensely amusing,
which makes it quite the breeziest offer
ing for long time. Reserved seats on
