Extracts From “Bob’s” Recent Address at Chicago. “Twenty-three and twenty-two one- hundredths grains of pure gold make one dollar. That is the money to-day of the United States. That is the money to-day of the civilized world. Ah, but they say, ‘Cannot you make dollars out of silver ?’ I shy, ‘Yes, but when you make a dollar out of silver you have got to put a dollar’s worth of silver in a silver dollar.’ If you make money out of something else, you have. got to put a dollar’s worth of some- thing else into the dollar. It takes a dollar’s worth of paper to make a good paper dollar. It takes a dollar’s worth of iron to make an iron dollar, and it takes a dollar’s worth of silver to make a silver dollar.” “And do you know what is the matter with the country to-dav ? We want more business. Talk about charity! Business is the finest charity ever con- ceived of. Business that feeds the hungry, that clothes the naked; busi- ness that wipes the tears from the widows’ eyes and orphans’ cheeks; busi- ness that puts dimples of Joy in the checks of sorrow; business that puts a roof above the heads of the homeless; business that fills the world with art and song, with commerce, the land with happy homes.” ‘ “We do not want labor questions settled by violence and blood. I want to civilize the capitalist so that he will be willing to give what labor is worth. I want to educate the workingman so he will be willing to receive what labor is worth.” "And why should we envy the rich? The Vanderbilts and the Astors and the Rockefellers never drank any colder water than I have. They never smokr d better cigars.’l‘hey never ate lighter bis- cuits nor better potatoes,nor drank bet- ter Illinois wine than I have, than 3 on have. We know the ecstacies of love as well as they. We know the love of win and child and friend, and in some re- spects we have the advantage. They fear and we hope. They are at the top, and they are afraid of falling. We are close to the ground and hope to climb. And, now, is a man to be envied sim- ply because he has got more than he can use? What good is that? What is the use of carrying 100 canes? What is the use of having more than you can possibly spend?” We have no permanent classes. The children of the rich to-day may work for the men who Worked for them. Sons of millionaires may be mendi- cants; sons of mendicants may be mil- lionaires.” “Blessed is that country where the rich are extravagant and the poor eco- nomical. Miserable that county where the rich are, economical and the poor are extravagant. A rich spendthrift is a blessing. A rich miser is a curse.” - 4 To Dedicate Their Monuments. A large number of the veterans of the Twelfth Connecticut Volunteers and of the Second Company Heavy Artillery, will leave next Saturday to participate in the dedication of their monuments erected by the state—that of the Twelfth in the" National cemetery at Winchester, Va. , and that of the Second at Arlington.

H. N.” were in evidence, Tue -' day afternoon, when the second annual ' convention of the King’s Daughters ‘ and Sons of Connecticut met, in spite . of the unpleasant afternorn there were 5 several hundred delegates from the cir- ! cles of the order in the different coun~ ties of the state. The convention W118 opened by the reading of Scripture by I Mrs. N. Melancthon James of New Ha- : ven, state secratary. She spoke brirfly of the need of the spiritual presence in the work of the order, that all might be done “In His Name.” The Rev. H. H. Kelsey spoke a few words of welcome to the convention, saying that it Was a great honor to have as guests the Daughters of the King. They had come with true humility to do honor to the King by whose name they were known, and in whose name they had a right. In be- half of the churches of Hartford and of the King’s Daughters of Hartford county, which had nearly one-third of the members of the order in the state, he extended a cordial welcome. The convention chose Miss Helen Rathbuu of Hartford recording secre- tarv. Mrs. Spalding of Bridgeport, Miss Form of Hartford and Mrs. Stiles of New Haven were appomted a commit- tee on credentials and Mrs. Bunnell and Mrs. Kelsey of New Haven and Mrs. Noble of Norwalk were appointed a committee on resolutions. Miss Sara M. Barnum reported for Fairfield county, representing thirty- seven circles and a membership of ov1r 500. The work done was of a similar character to that in the other counties. The “Mothers to Council” circle of Olivet Church of Bridgeport is prepar- ing for a large meeting in behalf of the order. Reports were received and read from several of the counties. , At the close of the afternoon session the local circles of King’s Daughters entertained the delegates with a collation in the chapel. At the evening session Mrs. D. Mel- ancthon James of New Haven, state secretary, then delivered her annual address, in which she detailed the work of the order of the state. The treasury showed a balance of $62.15. The New Haven union was doing a good work and reports from Norwalk and Bridge- port showed much earnest endeavor. There were 174 reported circles in the state, with a membership of nearly 3,- 500. The variety of endeavor of the King’s Daughters was great, and there was no room for idleness for any who had taken up the service. The closing session of the convention was held Wednesday; when the minor- pal address was delivered by Mrs. ‘I'. K. Noble of Norwalk. 0 AN INTERESTING OCCASION. The Anniversary of the Establishment of Methodism in Danbury. The 107th anniversary of the found- ing of Methodism in Danbury, will be observed by the Methodist Episcopal church in that city October 18th. Printed invitations are to be sent to every member and former member of the church who can be reached. There will be a love feast Sunday morning, and Rev. W. W. Clark, of Brooklyn. formerly of Bridgeport, Will preach at the service which is to follow. The Epworth League has arrangd to send carriages after all of the old mem- bers of the church who do not feel able to walk to the church. In the evening there will be another anniversary service, and on the Monday following there Will be a re-union of the former pastors of the church. Nearly every former pastor, who is living, has accepted the invitation to be present. The Theatre Hat. Women of taste and innate refinement are beginning to recognize the fact that they will lose their reputation for both if they insist upon wearing large hats to the theatre even though the millinery creation in question is a perfect dream. Let them wear their big late on the street, buttneir lit=le ones int 1e theatre, that is, if they possess two. Of course, if they do not they are to be pitied ' rather than censured, and this conclu- sion all will arrive at who see a woman in a large but at a place of amusement.
