LIZZIE BORDEN STAYED HOME.
Many Went to Her Churc. Yesterday Just
to See Her.

W ctt ntEs
Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
FALL RIVER, Mass. June 26.-Lizzie Borden
had the good taste not to crafty the curiosity
Of the public by going to church Yesterday. A
large number gathered at the Central Congre-
gational Church, where Lizzie is a member,
ostensibly for worship. but really to see the
woman whose name has been upon every lip for
weeks.
1t was announced in a local paper that Rev.
W. W. Jubb would preach a sermon applicable
to the case, but the congregation heard onlya
plain Gospel sermon. The Central Congrega-
tional Church is one Of the wealthiest and most
influential in the city o: Fall River.
Charles ]. Holmes. member Of that church
and friend of Lizzie Borden. the man TO whose
house she went TO spend her FIRST night Of free
dom, said after the service: "Why, / didn't
suppose that anybody had any idea that
Lizzie Borden would go to church
today. She is woman Of
fine feelings, and she does not wish to intrude
in public under the present circumstances I
concert, at any public gathering, for many
weeks TO come"
Trouble probable in the church,"
"No, sir; you can saw that Lizzie Borden's
friends have not lost their common sense. OF
course the members Of the church may differ in
oPinioh as Wen ak Peopie OUTSIDE. llzzie must
understand how things are and be guided sc-
cordingiy. i do not think the pastor would
take any action which was not sanctioned by
the church committee. There viii be no
trouble"
As matter Of fact, Lizzie has no. left her
house since her arrival in Fall River. The story
about the European trip with Bridget Sullivan
as maid in waiting is n myth. The desire of
the Misses Borden is to live quietly in Fall
River and deserve the respectof everybody in
the city. They will, however. seek another
house, the old homestead having become such
curiosity in the eyes of the public that 1t 10
not pleasant 10 live there.

TIDE PRICE OF SILVER.
1t Has Reached the lowest Point In
Df TIn fol

1t Has Reached the lowest Point In the
History of The Metal.
The market price of silver today reached the
lowest point that it has in the history of that
product. On Saturday. the London price,
which guides the director of the mint in his
purchases for the government, was S71l pence,
or about 8l.S in this country. This morning
the price IN London was SO pence or about 49, 8
in New York, drop of three points. The cause
Of this depression was assigned by Mr.. Preston,
the acting director Of the mint, as due to the
rumor. which ia probably true, that India, one
of the largest silver consuming countries, was
about to close her mints to the white metal
Before the so-called Sherman law went into
effect the lowest price that silver reached was
about 80.

1t Will Be Increased According to q Treasury
Decision.
The young American should begin to lay in
his stock of Fourth OF July fireworks at once
or else be more saving with his pennies if he
desires to make as large q display and noise as
he did year ago, for the price Of irecrackers
is likely to increase. The fault all lies with
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Curtis, and
no doubt he will have q delegation Of the youths
of the land to confront before long. but he was
only carrying out the law made by Gov. Nc
Kinley, SO that primarily he is the one to
blame.
Mr.. Curtis found that in assessing frecrackers
according to the tariff law certain agents were
accustomed only to weigh the firecrackers and
inside wrapping and not including the outside
packing and mating, which incloses them. To-
day an order was issued from the Treasury De-
partment instructing agents to weigh the entire
package and assess the whole at elght cents per
pound.

The War Department has issued an order
discontinuing the firing Of the old ten-inch
smooth bore guns at posts equipped with the
modern eight-inch rifle. The purpose is to

the department commander.

GETTYSBURG's BATTLE.
Arrangements Made to Celebrate the Com.
ing Anniversary Fittingly

Arrangements Made to Celebrate the Com
ing Anniversary Fittingly.
Gen. Schofeld has. with the approval of the
Secretary Of War, arranged to have United
States troops at Gettysburg on the LIST and Sd
of July on the occasion of the celebration of
the thirtieth anniversary Of the battle by
the New York volunteers who participated in
that important engagement. The federal rep
resentation will be small, owing to the great
expense attending large movement Of this
kind.
WHO WILL GO.
The troops selected consist Of the light bat
terry, fourth artillery, stationed at the Washing
ton barracks, commanded by Capt. Lancaster,
and troop of cavalry at Fort Myer, Va, to be
selected by the commandant Of the post Col.
Guy V. Henry, seventh cavalry. These will 60
by rail, and will leave here probably Friday
next.
THE ONLY TRIP.
Gen. Schofeld said to STA reporter
today that this is the only movement Of the
kind that is contemplated at present.
An effort has been made to secure
the presence of the cavalry troops at
Fort Myer at the encampment Of the New Jer-
sew state guard at Sea Girt this summer. but it
has been abandoned because of the great ex-
pense of transportation entaied by such visit.

He takes to the official harness naturally and

pretty good idea Of the run Of business in the
Interior Department from the fact Of having
been appointment clerk Of the department un-

THE PRESIDENTS VACATION.

He viii Probably Leave Washington Dur
ing the First Half Of July.
The time Of President Cleveland's departure
from Washington for his summer home in Buz-
yards Bay, Mass, has not been definitely set,
but he will probably leave Washington during
the first half Of July. 1t is certain
that he will remain at the White House
for another week, and there is likelihood
that he will accept an invitation Of Senator
Camden to spend few days fishing in West
Virginia in about two weeks. Should Mr..
Cleveland, however, conclude to 90 to Gray
Gables before the time set for the fishing trip
1t is hardly probable that he will visit Senator
Camden.
Rumors from Wall street that the President
was contemplating issuing a proclamation call
ing Congress in extra session on the LIST Of
August were telegraphed back here today. They
were found to be Of the same character as most
OF the exclusive Washington dispatches placed
upon Wall street tickers-entirely destitute Of
truth.

cling their brains over the symptoms of a
new sickness similar to the grip, only still
more severe in some respects.
There is less pain but a greatly in
creased sense of dizziness and uncertainty
of the nervous system, with loss OF memo

ness. 4 number OF we'll known ladies are
suffering with this singular and as yet
little understood mslsdy. In one case a
prominent gentleman also called at doc
tors office and could scarcely make him
self understood. He could not recall the
words with which 10 convey the needed
information, and so rambling was he that
the physician accompanied him to his res
idence. Another gentleman on attempt

the door without assistance.

some way opened. from the eyes up there
