Those who wish to Join the class are invited to meet Miss Gilbert on any day this week, at her residence, 1M Third street. A merchant yesterday made the re mark that In the past two or three weeks he had noticed a great change of sentiment amongst a certain class of his customers who had previously been loud in their support of the free silver movement, but who are now talking McKinley. Miss Mary O'Brien arrived In the city yesterday on a visit to her brother. The lady Is reported to be a line pian ist, playing with facility through the whole range of classical music. An ef fort may be made to have her assist In some of the local entertainments dur ing her stay in the city. Rev. S. A. Noon, late of Cambridge, Mass., will occupy the pulpit of the M. E.

The increase shown is a satisfactory one. particularly In view of the fact that up to date a large number of pupils are absent from sickness and other causes. Mr. Fer guson anticipates that by the first of November there will be a still further decided Increase shown in the number of pupils. Mr. II. H. Ingalls, the well known salesman of Foard & Stokes Co., re turned last evening from his hunting trip in the mountains near Tillamook. Mr. Ingalls reports having had had luck on the whole trip, and attributes the ill-fortune to the presence in the party of Mr. W. J. Cook, who is thought ta have ben the hoodoo that scared all the game away. It Is said that the latter gentleman became so exhausted from his unusual efforts on that trip that the rest of the party were obliged to carry him part of the way and afterwards hire a horse to get him out of the mountains. About 5 o'clock yesterday morning Offleer Joe Slnnott, while passing the Occident, heard repeated cries for help. Hastening In the direction of the sounds he found that a man was over board at the foot of 10th street, and by almost superhuman efforts Mr. Sinnott succeeded In getting the man out of the water as he was about to sink for the last time. The man prov ed to be Frank Ecklund. and while he had a distinct k nowbdge as to how he was finally put ashore he could give no accurate account of h ow he got Into the water. He had been drinking a little too freely In the evening, and It is probable that he got started down the wrong street for home and walked off the edge of the dock. The marine superintendent of the Ca nadian Pacific railway company, with headquarters at Vancouver, li. C, and Mr. Allan Cameron, general agent at Portland of the same company, are In the city overlooking the handling of the cargo of the Hupeh. The Hupeh Is an Iron steamer of about l!f38 tons with a carrying capacity of about 4000 tons. She carries the regulation Chinese crew ofli'en.(j ),y Kuropeans. She was un able to load a full cargo at Portland, as that would make her draw 23 feet, and prevented her safe trip down the river, and consequently S00 tons of flour was lightered down stream. Her cargo is made up of about 2.'0') tons of Hour and 4w bal-s of raw cotton for the "irrc-nt. It has not yet been de termined that the C. I'. I!. will run -t -au.'-rs regularly Into this river. The Hupeh is simply chartered for this ipecial trip. The superintendent rc- poits that another steamer will be put on the Australian route next rnon'h, making three regular liners for the Ari-'ip'-de, '.vhi'-h, with th" I'moresses, puts 'jtiife a fleet under his supervP-lon.

AT ALDERBROOR (Continued from First rsge.i mlttec consisting of Mr. K. J Smith. Max Young and F. W. Newell was ap Hinted to confer with th manufactur ers' committee of the Ctmmter of Com merce. Messrs. .Mcilrcgor and Smley were subsequently added to this com mittee. Concerning the Alderbrook depot It was decided to formulate a petition to be sent to Mr. Hammond concerning the early completion cm the work at that point. The proposition of opening up Tongue Point as a public park was next con sidered. Messrs, II. G. VanPusen, F. P. Kendall. Max Young. A. B. Hammond and lienj. Young were delegated to give this matter their special attention. An Important feature of the meeting was the decision to form what is to be known as the East End Improvement Co. A committee on organisation was appointed and the matter of permanent organisation will be given attention at the next meeting at 2 o'clock next Sat urday afternoon at the same place. After the public meeting was over, those present who resided In Alder brook held another meeting to discuss the question of putting In a special system of waterworks for that section of the city. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Very much, sometime. Is In a name, an expression or a catch phrase. Many authors have been helped on to fortune by a lucky name for a book or char acter. Many patent medicines and ar ticles of common use have become pop ular far beyond their merits simply by the adoption of an unusual or strik ing name. In like manner, certain ex pressions in regard to some public pol icy, become tlxed In the mind of peo ple and. whether right or wrong, ate hard to eradicate or change. I might cite, for exampK the Monroe Doctrine. Without going Into the mer its of what Is vaguely known by that expression. I will Just say. that a greut many people have clamored for Its en forcement who were almtit as well post ed as to Its true scope and meaning as they were In regard to the doctrines of Confusius. In a similar way. the Ideas prevail ing In regard to sliver and gold and their relative value, appear to be I'.xed in tne mind more by tradition and hearsay than by facts or knowledge. and there Is a belief, approaching al most to superstition, that there exists a certain fixed ratio tetwen the metals, established by a law of nature, like the turning of the earth upon Its axis In a certain number of hour. I saw a statement only a few days ago In the Astoria Evening News, that silver should be coined at the rate of 16 to 1 to gold because there was Just sixteen times as much silver as gold and it always had and always would be so. I conclude, therefore, that there are many tolerably honest people who hold some such belief; but the catch phrase "Free Silver." has perhaps done more for the sllverites than hours of argu ment or volumes of literature could ac complish. The rosr. by any other name would smell as sweet, but silver never smells so sweet as when prefixed by the word free. In conclusion, I would only suggest that It would be a gx.d thing for most of us to attend quietly to our own business, get all the gold, j silver or greenbacks we can, anil pay! no heed to demagogues, ami those w ho I promise to give something for nothing, I no matter in what way or manner. I And in order to be sure that your dollar, be It gold, sliver or greenback, will pass for a dollar, vote for Mc Kinley, or. In other words, for sound finance and protection, which Is what is wanted at this time. The country will breathe more freely after his election and business will soon begin to Improve when confidence is restored. M. DA MX A NT QI'OD NON IXTELLI OI 'NT. Editor Astorlan: In referring to my request for Information and your ex planation publish' d In yesterday morn ing's Astorlan, our alleged evening pa per, whose columns are devo'ed to the cause of free silver, ami every dis honest scheme which can lie "worked," makes the following remarks: "The question iiMcd the Short wr ight this morning by a party who df:ns his name Voting, Is about ns boyish and child like as the ShorMvelght's answer. They give one that 'tired' feeling; Ml doses for a dollar.' " Tills Is a fair sample of the argu ments us-d by said champion of free silver. Is It any wonder that a cause so represented is declining? I plead guilty to being a young man, probably boyish, as siigg' -ted by taid alleged puper. I 8di seeking for Information and for truth, but I am unable to ob tain any from such arguments as the above. It Is no more than Just that the' young men of our nation, men who are standing on the threshold of man h'xjd, about to cast their llrst ballot for ;,r. sidenl of the Cniteq sillies, should -ei k enlightenment as to the rial Is sues which now divide the nitlon.

In taking up these great questions, may be able to ; understand for themselves which way to east their ballot on the third day of j November next. i N'o man of any principle will cat a slur at any young man hivuuse he Is 'trying to ascertain the truth. When the young men of this nation are taking so much Interest In the com ing campaign, I can uy with a feeling ;of assurance that this government need have no alarm for the future. J. E. Yol'NU. Astoria. September X HISTORY OF THE SILVER DOLLAR (Continued from First Tare ) During the three years that the sub ject was before congress. Comptroller Knox hud frequent Interviews with the members of the senate finance Commit tee and the house committee on coin age, and Indeed. Hon. Win. D. Kelley, chairman, in debate, upon reporting the J ill to the house, said It had been most carefully und deliberately ronslder-d by the committee, who had gone over It "line by line and word by word." There was no concealment whatever about It, to my certain knowledge, and It was about as open, fair and above board a piece of legislation us I hud ever seen, and It wu not until years after, when the price of silver declined In the market. In consequence of the falling off In the demand for It by Eu ropean governments und its dcrased use In the arts, taken In connection with th vast increase in the supply of it fpim Uvnunia mines, that the silver mln-owners raises! the hue and cry of a crime. The charge that the net of l'T3 caus ed the demonetization of silver Is a SeilSeleSS US it IS bOS'-leSS, and W!l pot tx'iir Investigation Anyone lw con sult the record and reads the el,uts upon it In congress, extending over thr-1 ynr. would be ashamed to re iterate the charge. II. T. ClbSl;Y. Mr. Crosby was probably In ns good a position as any man now living to know- the truth concerning the legisla tion "f is;.!. At that time he was chief cb-rk and often sole acting executive officer of the war department, to whb h Hisitlon he hud ben promoted from that of private secretary to Secretary of War Helknap, In 1M3. He enjoyed ar, intimate acquaintance with all the prominent officers of the government, and was within the Inner conlldcnllul circles of the executive departments of the government. In his rapacity of chief clerk of the war department, he not only often attended cabinet coun cll.i, as nn aide to his c hief, hut had frequent and Important association nnd relations with members of the leading committees in congress. Mr. Crosby was a student then, and watched very closely many of the historical opera tions of the government and congress. His fund of reminiscence is rich and interesting. It will In- observed from Mr. Crosby's narrative that the stand ard silver dollnr was not included In the draft of the bill sent from the treas ury to congress. Notwithstanding which fact freo silver agitators, for many years past, have aroused the pas sion and Indignation of thousands by a constant iteration of the charge that through the use of Hrltlsh corruption money the clause of the bill continuing tho coinage of the standard dollar wuh clandestinely crowd, while the bill was undergoing some unit of Its periodical considerations In a committee room of the senate.
