THOSE HATS AGAIN.
An Episode ut the New York Academy
of Music.


Last week two gentlemen occupied seats
in the orchestra of the theater, says Ladies'
Every Saturday. Finding their view of the
stage totally eclipsed by the headgear of two
ladies directly in front of them, they polite
Iy requested the ladies to remove their hats.
They refused. Then the gentlemen put on
their hats-tall silk ones-and the ushers
were down on them in a minute.
I'VE have as much right to wear our
hats" they said, las those ladies have to
wear theirs. If they will take off their hats
we shall take off ours. Not otherwise"
The audience laughed and the ladies blush
ed, but they couldn't remove their hats, SO
Manager Mann sent word to the gentlemen
that they could take seats in box. This
they did, and as they took their places they
We're heartily applauded by the audience.
1t was all too much for the ladies, though
and they left the house. Maybe they will
leave their big hats at home when they go
to the theater next time.

silver in the silver dollar.
Were there infinitely stronger reasons than
can be adduced for hoping that such action
wouli secure for us bimetalic currency
moving on lines of parity, an experiment so
novel and hazardous as that proposed might
well stagger those who believe that sta
bility is an imperative condition of sound
money.
No government no human continuance or
act of legislation. has ever been able to hold
the two metals together in free coinage at
ratio appreciably different from that which
is established in the markets of the world.
Those who believe that our Independent
free coinage of silver at an artificial ratio
with gold Of Is to 1 would restore the parity
between the metals. and consequently be-
tween the coins, oppose an unsupported and
improbable theory to the general belief and
practice of other nations, and to the teaching
of the wisest statesmen and economists of
the world, both in the past and present, and
what is far more conclusive, they run
counter to our own actual experiences.
Twice in our earlier history our lawmak-
ers in attempting to establish bimetalic
currency undertook free coinage upon
ratio which accidently varied from the actual
relative values of the two metals not more
than three per cent. In both cases. notwith-
standing greater difficulties and cost of
transportation than now exist, the coins
whose intrinsic worth was undervalued in
the ratio, gradually and surely disappeared
from our circulation and went to other coun-
tries where their real value was better
recognized
Acts of Congress were impotent to create
equality where natural causes decreed even
a slight inequality.
Twice in our recent history we have sig
nally failed to raise by legislation the value
of silver. Under an act of Congress passed
in 1878 the Government was required for
more than twelve years to expend annually
at least 100000 in the purchase of silver
bullion for coinage. The act of July IA, $780,
in still holder effort increased the amount
of silver the Government was compelled to
purchase, and forced it to become the buyer
annually of 100000 ounces, or practically
the entire product of our mines. Under both
laws silver rapidly and steadily declined in
value. The prophecy and the expressed hope
and expectation of those in the Congress
who led in the passage of the aforementioned
act, that it would re-establish and maintain

manded and insist on paying out silver
alone and still maintain the parity between
that metal and the currency representing
gold. Besides, the accumulation in the
Treasury of currency of any kind exacted
from the people through taxation is justly
regarded an evil, and 1t can not proceed
far without vigorous protest against an
unjustifiable retention of money from the
business OF the country and denuncia-
ton of a scheme of taxation which proves
itself to be unjust when it takes from the
earnings and income of the citizen money
so much in excess of the needs Of Govern
ment support that large sums can be gath
cred and kept in the Treasury. Such a con-
dtion has heretofore in times of surplus
revenue led the Government to restore cur
rency to the people by the purchase of it's
unmatured bonds at large premium and
by large increase Of its deposits in
tional banks, and we easily remember that
the abuse Of Treasury accumulation has
furnished most persuasive argument in
favor OF legislation radically reducing our
tariff taxation.
Perhaps it is supposed that sufficient rev.
enue receipts would in sentimental way
improve the situation, by inspiring conf
dence in our solvency and allaying the fear

all our struggles to maintain our gold re-
serve there never has been any appre-
hension as to our ready ability to pay our
way with such money as we had; and the
question whether or not our current re-
ceipts met our current expenses has not
entered into the estimate of our solvency
OF course the general state Of our funds
exclusive of gold, was entirely immaterial
to the foreign creditor and investor His
debt could only be paid in gold, and his
only concern our ability to keep on
hand that kind of money.
On July l, 1882, more than year and
half before the first bonds were issued to
replenish the gold reserve, there was a
net balance in the Treasury, exclusive of
such reserve, of less than $4,000, 600; but
the gold reserve amounted to more than
S114,OO0.0O0, which was the quieting feature
of the situation. 1t was when the stock
of gold began rapidly to fall that fright

abroad were pressed for payment. In the
meantime extensive shipments of gold and

vation of the souls of many young
 men who are yearly started to ruin
 by the associations with which they are brought into contact at Mantle.
 This is all very true and needs to
 be said. There was much rum and other stuff of debasing nature at the camp. Everybody who was there with eyes half open knows It. There was much drunkenness and much other de- bauchery, and some of the officers as well as some of the men took a dis graceful part in them. If, as General Haven says, some newspaper men also took part in them the disgrace belongs also to them. They were certainly of fered intoxicating drink enough to make them drunken and debauched If they were disposed to be. But if news paper men or any others joined with the soldiers in such work we don't see how that excuses the soldiers. The fact is, no excuse can be offered for what took place at Camp Bradley. The debasing revelry was a disgrace to all who took part in it, disgrace to the State, and a disgrace to those whose duty it was to maintain decency and discipline there.

-----s-------s----.-------------- THE MJLIT1RY PICNIC.

In his report concerning the encamp-
 ment of theI Connecticut National
 Guard at Mantle last summer General
 Haven says, among other things: "The only excuse offered for noisy nights
 after taps was, that employees of
 caterers and visitors were responsible
 for it. and in several cases newspaper
 men, who so freely criticise, took a
 prominent part. am not sure but that
 the best interests of the service demand
 that everybody not in uniform leave
 the ground at tattoo" ghis stirs up
 the Hartford Post, which proceeds to
 say: When General Haven wrote his
 report he took it for granted that the
 newspapers would receive it as they
 do all matters pertaining to the costly and petted Connecticut National Guard,
 with charity. and eyes half closed. He knows that the very existence of the Connecticut National Guard to-day is due to the good nature of the news papers, for if Mantle encampment had ever been reported by other than a charitable hand, there would have been an uprising of the people in right eous wrath and the whole militia | structure would have been taken to task; the members of the National | Guard so inclined, would be compelled | to take their annual debauchin civilians clothes and not in the uniform of the | Stake that can be stained with liquor and spoiled at no expense to the in- dividual Such a revolution would | mean more than an inconvenience to the drunkards-it would mean the sal

 A common method for enhancing the cost of coats and wraps is in trimming them with rare furs. which are shipped into small pieces and laid on after any odd pattern. Black astrakan is thus used a great deal to enrich street gowns and wraps. It is, indeed, the accepted fur for any but very elaborate gowns. Less extravagant ones fall back on braid for trimming, and jackets and whole costumes are seen braided in all- over patterns with soutache, black braid on gray cloth being favorite combination.
 In this rush for rich effects ordinary velvet is not elegant enough by any means, and it is set off handsomely in various ways The jacket pictured here with is a good example of the way vel vet Is adorned, and it is further inter- esting from its thorough novelty. Made tight fitting of brocaded velvet, it hooks in front, and Is bordered with fur in, addition to a zlgzag jet embroidery The whole Is a novel cut, the square back being considerably longer than the pointed fronts.
