Delmonicos, nor had they visions Of their sons
dining, in more than the regal luxury Of those
days, in great New-Yor< banqueting-hall.
The annual dinner of the New-England So

1906" was held last night. All New-England
dinners are big in every way. The attendance
is always great. New-England's sons are emil
nently loyal to their "fatherland" At the
banquet of 1850 more than $50 descendants OF
the Puritans and friends Of these descendants
were present. Among them were many men Of
whom New-England has reason TO be proud:
men who have achieved distinction in every
worthy walk of life. Not any of the Delmonico
dinners of the season brings together such COM

Hope For Silver.

Various circumstances are con-
tribnting to make the friends Of sill
yer hopeful. The growing sentiment
in Europe In favor Of the remonetiza-
ton OF silver has had a reassuring
effect upon them, while they find en-
couragement also In the more favor
able tendency Of public opinion in
this country toward removal Of the
restriction upon the coinage Of silver.
The recent Democratic convention of
Virginia declared in favor OF unlim-
tied coinage, which will commit the
representatives Of the party from that
state to this policy, and u is well un-
derstood that the Representatives
from the Southern states generally
can be counted upon to favor increas-
ing the coinage. In the new states,
particularly in Washington and Mon
tanR, this question is Of supreme i'm
portance, and it is highly probable
that every man elected to congress
from all OF these states will be favor
able TO more silver.
The silver men are said 10 expect
the support OF the president and sec
rotary Of the treasury, but this can.
not be regarded as by any means as
sured. AT any rate, so far as the
secretary OF the treasury is concerned,
his past position respecting silver does
not warrant the belief that he can be
relied upon to any radical departure
from the present policy. Recently
reported observations Of his on the
subject showed that he is not friendly
TO increasing the coinage and while,
undoubtedly, he would not interpose
TO defeat legislation to that end, Il is
hardly TO be expected that he would
use his influence TO promote it As to
the views Of the president, nothing
can be affirmed with any degree of
certainty. He is OF course favorable
to silver as a part Of the currency,
but whether be would have more of
Il or merely maintain the present rate
of coinage is unknown except to him
self. The question will undoubtedly
receive his attention when he adj
dresses congress.
| After the tariff, the next congress
will have no more important matter
than this, aud the probability is that
Il will be among the earliest ques-
tons presented for its consideration.
Meanwhile the Paris monetary con.
ference will have completed its delib'
erations, the result Of which may have
very considerable influence in de
termining the action Of congress-

MRs. MAYsRIoK IN TROUBLE.
The Nieee Of Jefr Davis Accused Of XIII.
Ing Her Husband.

L1vERpooL, May 2q,-Tbe inosest over the
body Of Mr.. Magbrlvk, whose death is sup
posed to have been caused by poison admin
istered by his wife, has begun. Michael
Maybrick, brother of the deceased man, tes-
titled that he had visited his brother during
his illness, and had warned Mrs Maybrick
that he suspected his brother was receiving
improper treatment The wife insisted upon
her right to nurse her husband. Witness
fhereupon summoned two doctors and new
nurse. He also seized bottle containing
brandy and extract of meat
At later visit the witness found Mrs
Maybrick changing the contents and labels
o medicine bottles He demonstrated with
her, and asked her how she dare do such a
thing. She replied that there was sediment
in the bottles. Witness again caused change
OF nurse to be made. Notwithstanding his
precautions, however, his brother grew worse
and died in a short time.
Alice Japp, nurse who had charge of the
Maybrick children, was next examined She
produced a letter which was addressed TO a
man named Briefly, in Liverpool and which
was given 70 witness TO post by Mrs May
brick, the prisoner. While on her way to do
this witness dropped the letter in the mud.
The envelope was soiied, and witness opened
the letter with the intention o placing it in
another envelope In fdoing this she noticed
that the letter contained number Of endear-
ing words. The following sentences particu-
lally attracted her attention:
dearest, my husband is sick unto death.
AL depends upon how long his health can
hold out Darling, relieve your mind Of all
fear Of discovery now or in the future. In
any case, do not leave England until ] see you
once again"
Witness, instead Of posting the letter, gave
it TO Edwin Maybrick. After Mr.. MAVERICK
died witness found in the linen closet a choco-
late box rolled upin sheet The box be
longed TO Mrs Maybrick, and contained I
nackage Of powder labeled ..poisonn
