Colorado is naturally much disturbed by
the silver crisis. She mines about two
fifths of the silver produced in this coun-
try and seventh of the worlds silver
production. In 1891 the United States
produced IS, 330, 900 ounces, and Colorado
turned out 21,1e0,O0O ounces. For
number of years the state has mined or
smelted from 100000 to 20,000,0O0
ounces, and for nearly ten years past its
product has borne about the same proper
ton of the total world output.
The Supreme court of Massachusetts,,
passing on case last week, decided that
sending aschild to q psrochial school is
sufficient compliance with the statutes,
and that, too, although the school had not
been approved by the school commission
of the town or city where 1t Is situated.
The court said: "The great object of the
provisions of the statutes has been that all
the children shall be educated not that
they shall be educated in any particular
way. To this end public schools are es-
tablished, 30 that all children may be sent
to them unless other sufficient means of
education are provided for them. If
the branches of learning required by law
to be taught in the public schools the law
does not compel any further instruction"
The shade trees in Philadelphia are suf-
fering from the depredations of the tus-
suck moth caterpillar. According to Dr.
Henry Skinner of the Philadelphia Acsd-
emy of Sciences, the tussock moth has
been increasing in number ever since the
practical determination of the measuring
worm. The tussock lays about 200 eggs
on the bark of a tree, and as soon as the
worms are Matched they begin TO eat the
leaves, and with such rspidity that In
single day they make sorry sight of the
foliage. The female moth is wingless, and
deposits its eggs where they can be reached
from the ground. The fuzzy punches SO
often eeen on the trunks of trees are the
eggs. They are easily removed go that
with little more trouble than an occasional
scrutiny the trees can be protected. The
tussock is not 60 destructive pest as the
gypsy moth, which has cost Massachusetts
many thousands of dollars during recent
years, but it will do great deal of dam
age to valuable trees unless it is looked.

AN INCENTIVE TO GOOD WORKS.
Now that we have Society in New Ha-
ven some people may want to know how
modelled after our own, the advice of Ward
McAllister, who has been called the Head
Butler of New York, to those who are anx
ious to become members of New York's
Four Hundred, may be useful to those
who want to join New Haven's Hundred.
There is no doubt that Mac Ia a man of
brains, In spite of the use to which he has
put them, and we know of nobody who is
better fitted to guide and instruct social
aspirants. The advice he gives shows
and that he is not laboripg un-
der as many delusions as some who have
watched his performances might think.
For instance, he says that one way to get
on socially is by good works, being good
church member and giving hberally to all
charities. "All good people at once recog
nize the service you are doing and
advertise it to the solid and respected
element of society. Encomiums on you
do not stop here. Fashions attention is
called to your charities aud to your wealth.
You are asked out at fret to some charita-
BILE social gathering, you are found agree
able and desirable and some one suggests
that fashion should take you up and adopt
you" Mac doesn't bow before gold alone
as humbly as some do. He admits that
sometimes millionaires have opened all
doors with golden keys, but declares that
they are quite as apt to fail as to succeed.
Good works and gold together make a
powerful team, and when managed with
sufficient skill and artful hypocrisy ought
to give one place even in the Society of
New Haven. Mac has hit the mark, as he
often does. He further remarks that 1t is
one thing to get into society, but another
thing when onos In to hold your own. He
doesn't tell how to hold on, but 1t is
probable that the same hypocrisy that he
recommends as a means of getting in
would be found useful in staying in.

Gold braid, passementerie, gslloon, jew

sorts are more the rage than ever. The
ornamentation of gowns is rich in detail.

HOPE FOR THE FAIR.

Hope springs eternal in the human /
breast, and the Chicago breast is as fall of |
hope as Chicago is of wind. Therefore |
the Fair Is there at an expense which |
would stagger most communities. And SO /
far 1t hasn't been the profitable show that |
it was expected to be. But Chicago Ia |
hoping as hard as ever and Is also making |
some figures which seem to justify its |
hope. For instance, the average daily |
attendance in May was $4,000 and in June |
SO, ,O26, or 10000 in round numbers Not |
until August 26 did the paid admissions
at the Centennial exposition reach 10000 |
This total became commonplace at Chicago |
long befors the Fair was two months old.
During May and June the attend
ance at Philadelphia was 1,074, ,646;
at Chicago it was 8, ,721 .140, within strik-
ing distance of 100000. The prediction
is made by friends of the Fair that the paid
admissions will reach $4,000. 900 by the
time the gates close. At Paris the total
four years ago was "a, ,OoO,O The differ
ence in the drawing powers Of the Phila-
delphia and Chicago expositions Is indi-
Gated by the Fourth of July attendance.
At Philadelphia it was $4,000; at Chicago
about 250,0OO. A ciphering fiend says
that the average daily attendance at Jack
son Park during this month should, &C
cording to the laws of probabilities, go as
high as 1000 or little higher, and give
grand total for the month of about 8, 500,-
600. If this result be reached, there will
be nothing in the way of realizing the
coveted twenty Eve millions during the
summer. He says further: The last three
months will be the greatest months in the
history of the exposition, as they have
been in every exposition yet held. These are
the three months which mark the mighty
outpourings of all classes of people.
At Chicago SO far we have had an attend
ance from this city, probably about one
half the total, and the remainder has been
made up chiefly by the visitors who have
come from towns and cities round about
or from the East. These are the trades,
business, manufacturing, professional
people of the country. This class will
continue coming all the year. To their
number will be added, in August and Sep
tember, thousands upon thousands of the
people who are on the farm or near 1t, and
who cannot get away in this hsrvest time.
Then the boom will begin. Then the rail-
roads will run fifty excursion trains where
they now run one.
Here's hoping that the gorgeous expec-
tations will be realized. The pluck and
skill shown by the makers and managers
of the fair deeerve the reward of success

afternoon 1t the Church OF the He.v.

fifth street.
The wedding was brilliant affair.
The church, which was brilliantly
decorated, was crowded to its fullest
capacity. A full choir Of thirty sing
ers assisted in the ceremonies. The
bride is pronounced by every one the
most beautiful girl they have ever
seen.
After the ceremony the company
left the church and proceeded to the
spacious ball room at Sherry's, near
BY, where the full Hungarian band
was playing. Here there was q great
spread and good cheer for everyone.
It was the greatest crowd, with the
longest string Of carriages, that has
ever congregated at this fashionable
place.
Every one who was present at the
great Bradley Martin wedding says
that this wedding and the decora
tions, both in the church and a,
Sherry's, far surpassed that aristo
cratic event, and was the most brill
liant marriage that New York ha.
seen for long time.
The presents to the bride were tot
numerous to mention. The groom
presents to her were heavy necklac,
of four strings Of pearls with a dia
mond clasp, a large diamond will
two large pearls forming the pendent
pearl earrings, diamond and rub,
bracelet, etc.
Many of the Four Hundred wer'
present, headed by Miss MacAllister
sister of Ward MacAlllster, Mrs. Gen
Pierson and Madame Nordica, tn
famous prima donna, aud several hun
dred friends of the bride.
The bride and groom left by the
o'clock train for Chicago, to be alb
sent two weeks, when they will re
turn to spend the summer on thei
beautiful yacht, the Fleetwing, whic
has been beautifully decorated.

Old Aunt Dinah was q colored wo-

ed to take up collection during the
singing of the hymn, "Fly Abroad,

of which Aunt Dinah always threw
back her head, closed her eyes, and
sang away at the top of her lungs
till the plate had passed her by.
The collector, who was a man q

the old woman, and one evening
when he came to her seat he stopped
short, and, surveying her rapt coun
tenance, said bluntly:

inquest on the body of an unknown,
discovered about three miles from

the remains by which they could be

that the man was frozen to death
