AS TO TEAS.
This Form of Entertainment Is
Again to Be the Fashion This
SaaSnn

''Teas'' are again to be the fashion this
season, with one or two exceptions-at all
events for the introduction OF the daughters
and sisters. After all these much abused en-
tertainments, which everybody openly derides,
and which are always crowded by these same
derijers, are an absolute necessity now that
society numbers so many within its ranks. In
no other way can young and old be invited t
the same time and as an invitation to tea is
. generally considered the same as a formal
Acall it is easy to see why a woman
with a daughter finds it the easiest
and quickest way to acquaint all on
her visiting list with the fact that this
daughter is now old enough TO take her posi-
ton in society. An invitation to tea does not

luncheon at the clubhouse and entertaining
among themselves The fine weather has given
those fond OF coaching an opportunity for long
drives and excursions in the neighborhood,
and there have been many who took advantage
OF 1t. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Scott are much
missed, having gone on q flying trip to New
York. Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Crdeker have gone
10 Del Monte, and upon their return will no
doubt open their City residence, which has
been barred up since spring. Sunday seems
to be the greatest meet day, and luncheons on
the verandas are much in vogue. Last Sunday

covered baby farm on Folsom street and

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Humane Order Issued by Secretary
MOrtOn-StOck Shippers Will
lie Required to Obey
the Law.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Secretary Nor
ton has sent to all railroad com.
panies, engaged in live stock transpor.
tation, the following circular, insisting
on strict compliance with the law
"The attention of the officers of all rail-
way companies engaged in the transpor-
tation OF live stock from one state or ter.
rltory into another, or whose roads from
any part of line transporting live stock
from one state or territory into another,
is directed to sections 1886, 1887, 1883
and 4,489 of the Revised Statutes
complaints have been made to this
department by it's official supervising the
movement of animals in the interstate
and export trade, that the provisions of
those sections are not complied with by
many railway companies and that cattle
and other live stock are confined in cars
for period exceeding twenty-four hours
and that at times when they are unloadcd,
they ere not allowed the five consecutive
hours for rest provided by statute.
"The failure of the railway companies
to conform with the law, causes animals
great suffering while in transit to points
of destination, which is the intention of
the law to prevent. Railway companies
will therefore make such arrangements as
are necessary in their train service and
provide the necessary feeding and water
ing stations to comply with the statutes,
and any failure to do this will render
them liable on conviction to the penalty
provided in section 4,388."

FREE COINAGE DEMOCRATS.
The Iowa state Convention All Right
On the Question OF Finance.

Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 1.-The Jour-
nails Ottumwa telegram says: "How will
the Marshalltown convention handle the
money question:" was asked Charles A.
Welch, SECRETARY of the state Democratic
central committee.
"Every indication is that the bimetal-
lists will be in control. You can Judge
for yourself when l say that of thirty
counties thus far heard from twelve dele
cations instructed for free coinage Of
gold and silver at the ratio Of 16 to l,
four counties adopt the Chicago plat
form of 1892, two express themselves in
favor of making the campaign on state
issues, and twelve counties go unin-
structed.
"The probabilities are of course that n
majority Of the coonties Of tho state will
not instruct at all, as it is somewhat un-
usual in this state for county conventions
to instruct the state conventions, but of
those that 60 uninstructed large ma
jority will be for free coinage of silver at
16 to l."

ing Tickets for -Fitzsim-
mons Mill at Dallas.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. L. Ex-Circuit
Judge Chas. Fred Tucker, regarded as
having one of the clearest legal minds in
Texas, has stated that the law governing
prize fighting is as follows: "The last
legislature adopted new criminal code,
in which it made prize fighting mis-
demeanor, punishable with fine of not
less than $500 nor more than $1,000 and
Imprisonment for thirty days. This law
went into operation on the 29th day of
July just passed. That legislature also
subsequently passed civil code and it
enacted that fight might take place by
taking out license of $500. This law
goes into effect on September |, or thirty
days before the Corbett-F t-Fitzsimmons
contest. There is no doubt that our su-
preme court will hold that it is or will be
the law after the 1st of September. The
civil code was adopted last and therefore
will take precedence over the other"
His opinion is concurred in by every
lawyer in Dallas, who has read it, and it
will be seen that there is no power to
prevent the ett-Fitzsimmons fight
from taking place. Around headquarters
to-day everything is quiet.
The sale of seats goes merrily along,
not to toughs, for they have no money to
pay the prices, but to railroad magnates
and bank people. 1t is singular that
more railway officials have bought tickets
than any other class of people.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Copper and Lead.

The New York Mining q Engineering
Journal of date the 9th ult., says
With very large transactions IN all the
different grades of copper, but especially
in fine copper, the market again shows a
considerable advance, lake copper being
sold early in the week in round Quantities
at III "a 11$a, which latter price is now
being bid, but nothing is to be had below
IL cents. For electroytic III M11I
has been paid, and most makers are now
entirely sold out for the next six to eight
weeks.
Casting copper has not advanced in
proportion, but it is very firm at 1925 a
l04. The rise in copper is entirely due
to the very large demand from home
manufacturers, and our prices being con-
siderably above the parity of Europe, no
export business is possible and no in
quiries are received from the other side
IT, what is likely, the Europeans want
some of our copper and an additional
demand springs up, further rise can not
be avoided. News from all the manufac-
turing districts is very encouraging; all
mills have booked orders for weeks in
advance, and most of them are working
oNtrIliue' LIZ porls Ifou nov Oh Will
show considerable falling off, unless
new contracts are being made.
Under the circumstances it is not to be
wondered at that the foreign market also
shows considerable tirmness.
With the large consumptive demand
and with hardly any offers of desilverized
lead from the west, prices are rather
higher, and large contracts we're closed at
from $3.40 to $347l5 New York, which
latter price has now been declined, but
$3.50 is being asked.
1t appears that the west can take care
of all the lead produced out there, and if
this scarcity continues further advance
is imminent.
The European market has advanced to
Ell for Spanish and Ell 2s. Cd "a Ell 5s.
for English lead, and it is reported that
stocks there are very low.
St. Louis Lead Market-The John Wahl
Commission company telegraphs US as
follows: Lead is unsettled and very
strong, with continued upward tendency.
The latest sales noted are at $3.2712 for
desilverized lead, and 1925 for Missouri
brands. The demand is fairly active and
1t is evident that buyers are getting
somewhat nervous and looking upon the
sharp advance with considerable appre-
hension.

AGAINST BIN ETAILISM.
London Times Strongly opposes m
International Monetary
Agreement.

London, Aug. IA financial article in
the Times this morning, discussing the
possibility Of an international monetary
agreement, says: "Not France, whose
monetary position is secure, but America
would be the frst to take advantage of it
should we be foolish enough to enter into
such an agreement. America ia the only
great country which really gains by the
agreement. She would try to dispose of
her silver for gold, but the mere hint
that We would enter into an international
bimetallic agreement would cause such a
scramble for gold that 1t is very doubtful
IT any would be left in the Bank of Eng
land by the time the agreement was
signed."
