The young ladies who attended tho
Methodist church last evening were es
pecially favored iu listening to a sermon
by tho pastor on the subject, "Our
Honored Girls," for the speaker paid
a tribute to them well worth hearing,
congratulating them on thn fact that
whereas but a few years ago thero were
not a score of places in the business
world opt n to them, now thsre are said
to be 5000. Ho also spoke of tho special
gifts which had been given to them and
to what a great blessing they might bo
used. While there are so many plttees
open to them outside of the home, it is
very essential that In the place for which
they are best suited by nature, they
should be most efficient. His sermon

For many years the condition of the
city cemetery has been a disgrace to
The D.dles, and frequently the attention
of its residents has been called to that
fact by the newspapers, but nothing lias
been done toward improving it and
it still remains the same neglected
place, although situated in one of the
most beautiful sites which could be
Imagined. While this can go on with
out causing any particular disturbance,
there is a matter which must be attend
ed to at once, or we must find some
other means of dispoeing of the city's
dead than burying them. The ground
now inclosed is well nigh filled with
graves and right soon there will not bo
space left where a body can be laid.
While there are a few lots, in most of
them it is impossible to excavate on ac
count of the rocky soil. The city must
do something in regard to this matter,
and that quickly. We understand two
acres joining the cemetery on the Bouth
can be purchased for $20 an acre. This
Is very reasonable, and the city could
make no better .move than to buy this
ground, extend the fence and thus give
to those who are so unfortunate as not
to be able to pay $25 for a lot or even $15
for a half Mot, a respectable place in
which to bury their dead.
A large audience was present at the
Congregational church last evening,
prominent a;noug whom were the Elks,
who, as a body, attend services once a
year. The order was well represented,
and listened intently as Rev. D. V.
Poling spoke of "The mysteries which
lie concealed in the shadow of Castle
Garden," dealing in a large measure
with the influences good and bad
which result from the migration of
foreigners to our shores. His ideas of
tho subject were good and clearly de
fined. One especially good point was
that in which he suggested that, whereas
every foreigner who comes to our shores
is entitled to vote whether he has re
ceived the education compulsory in
America or not, schools should bo es
tablished at every port where he could
receive the necessary instructions in
political economy, etc., and as n result
vote understandingly. In cloning he
spoke of the benefit which America had
received from each nationality, giving to
her that which enable. all to proudly
sing "My Country 'Tis of Thee," and at
tho close of the eermou the audience
sang it with a vim. The music of the
evening waB especially good. Tho two
anthems by the choir, particularly the
oneeutitled "How Good is He the Giver"
being excellent. The male quartet also
gave two pleasing selections.

Tribute to Chaplain Gilbert.
The Dalles, Or., Dec. 4, 99.
To the Editois:
Now that Chaplain Gilbert, the pride
of the Second Oregon regiment, is going
to lecture at the, M. E.. church Tuesday
evening, and give everyone a chance to
hear for themselves a good, true account
of our doinc'J in the Philippines, I think,
for one, the Second Oregon boys in The
Dalles should honor the chaplain 'by
wearing Khaki suits, and turning out
enforce to hear him.
His many kind acts can never be for-
gctten, and the times lie filled our can
teens in the field, when it was impos
sible fcr us to fall out of ranks, the
many times he bought our postage
stamps and writing material to pon a
word Ik me to anxious folks, the times
he even went down in his own pocket
and lent money to needy soldlerB are
still freeh in every soldier's mind.
Chaplain Gilbert io a good speaker, is
one of the best of men and con not be
too highly eulogized.
