Nevada'S silver Senator.
New York Mercury.l

An ubiquitous Mercury representative
met Senator Jones, of Nevada, crossing
the Jersey Ferry on his way to Washing
ton on Friday night, and asked the Sena-
tor for some news about Leadville, Col,
from which mining camp he has returned.
at is fine camp" he said, Situated
among the pines of picturesque valley
about ten miles in width, on each side
of which are the snow-capped mountains.
Ore there? 0 yes, there is plenty of ore
running sixty per cent. lead, and from
5000 to 5000 per ton of sulphuret Of sill
yer. Some of the mines have SCI at
from 100000 to 81, 100000"
(Which mines do you regard as the
best, SenatorF'
"1'he little Pittsburg is turning out
the ores of high grade, and the mine
that my friend Eikins, of New Mexico,
purchased, the Shamrock, is a splendid
one"
"What about the Pacific slope and the
new constitution?
"The new California constitution,
though it contains some excellent pro-
visions, will be defeated. Why should
the Government attempt to restrict a
man in the use of his money? If he gets
singed, that is his own lookout. Every
man in this country is supposed to have
arrived at years of discretion. Stock
gambling is an evil that can not be sup.
pressed by prohibiting the purchase of
stock on margins or taxing money-lend-
ers."
"What of the financial future, Sena-
tori"
"The reconciliation of silver has lift
ed prices and set the wheels of machin-
cry humming all over the land. Falling
prices caused the stagnation, but now
the tide has turned, and you may expect
a new era of speculation and wild over
trading which will be caused by national
bank imitation. The banks and corpora
tions are loaded up with property and
values of all kinds, which they will un-
load by the issue of their currency, which
they will loan till they get everybody in
their debt. The banks will probably
bank in every United States bond they
can purchase or control, and the cur
rency will therefore reach the enormous
sum of nearly three thousand millions
before the crash comes, as come it will.
While tie banks ntrol the volume of
currency, we shall have crash in every
ten years, as we have had in the past.
If Sherman continues Secretary of the
Treasury for the next Presidential term,
he can say with King Louis: "Apris NOR
lie deluge!" Were the currency issued by
the Government to the people, and the
amount fixed per capita to give it elias,
ITCHY, we should avoid this wild infa-
tion which leaves the gigantic corpor-
ations rich and the people poor. Yes,
we are on the eve of wild initiation by
the banks. Wall street shows it."

Choral Society Concert,

The fourth and last of the series of con-
certs rendered by the Newport Choral So
ciety took place last night at Odd-fellows'
Hall, and was in many respects the most
successful of the season. The hall was well
filled with select audience.
The chorus "Hallelujah" was first on the
programme and was fairly rendered by the
Society. Piano solo Solitude" was so well
rendered by Mr. c. A. Graninger that he
was loudly recalled. Bass solo, "The
Tyrrell, and with such effect on the audi
ence that he was enthusiastically received
at his each appearance during the evening
Miss Emily Windsor sang with good effect
"Our Faith Then Fondly Plighting." Miss
Windsor has beautiful soprano voice and
is already quite favorite among our music
lovers.
Last night must have been one of Mr.
Skidmores ''of7' nights, for on other occa-
sions he sang to much better advantage
His best effort last night was in the duo
with Miss Winona Hawthorn, which was
well received, as it deserved. Miss Haw-
thorn's sweet soprano voice never appeared
to better advantage. The next on the pro-
gramnie was a baritone solo, "Infelice,"
sung by Mr.. G. J. Davis. Last night was
the first appearance Of this gentleman be-
fore Newport audience, and he certainly
must have been pleased at the reception he
received. Mr.. Davis though quite young
has a voice of unusual power, and his range
and expression gives evidence OF careful
study. Miss Tillie Muellenbach, well
known to our music lovers was next in a
soprano solo, and although favorably re-
celved the young lady was not in her usual
good voice.
The Changing of a programme often
sets the audience in bad humor, especially
is this true when the selection is fa-
vorte, as was the case last night. Mr.
Tyrrell was down for the Soldiers Life"
always favorite when sung by this gem
tteman, but for some reason he sang an
other selection, and the audience was
huffed.
One of the pleasing features of the enter
tainment last evening was the entire abb
sence of bouquets. Prof. G. NJ. Feline,
leader of the Society. deserves special
praise for his efforts during the season Just
closed; but, on the other hand, it is to be
regretted that his as well as the Society's
earnest efforts to please were not more
literally appreciated financially THE peo-
pie OF Newport generally are in favor of
good music, but they lack one essential
they hate like old Harry to pay for it, even
at quarter.

A Lock of n WOman,s Hair.


Last week, out near Mount All
Church, near Louisiana, Mo-, Mr.. VIM
Reading, farmer, had just cut down a
white oak tree twenty-four inches in
diameter, and was splitting up the end
next to the stump when he came across
an oak pin about one inch in diameter
which had been driven into an augul
hole. Upon getting this out, he found
in the augur hole lock of woman's
hair of beautiful auburn color, in per.
feet and lifelike preservation, and be.
tween twelve and fourteen inches in
length. The pin and hair were covered
over with at least seventeen years growth
of the tree. Even the roots of the lock
of hair were in perfect preservation, and
had the appearance of having been just
jerked out Of the head.

naut, accompanied by Mr.. Creelman, of
the New York Herald, returned to the city
yesterday. They had much difficulty in
landing, and are severe on the quality of
Montreal gas owing to the weight of which
it was with the greatest difficulty it could
be got out Of the balloon. After the ground
was reached, in his efforts to shove it out
Mr. Grimley was overcome, and lay some
time before Creelman noticed his dangerous
condition. The latter dragged him away
three quarters of an hour before Grimley
was restored to consciousness. They
touched ground about IL o'clock Saturday,
about forty-five miles from this city.
Grimley still expresses confidence in his
steering apparatus, and says he will proba-
bly, make an experiment with it in New
York, where the gas is of better quality.
