The Effect of the Act of 1873.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
You commend the author Of the communi-
cation on the coinage question printed on
page 10 of The Star Of the 14th instant as
"a well-informed student on economic sub
jects." What do you think of the follow
ing from "a well-informed" person? TT
cannot reasonably be denied that the ad-
vocates CT free silver are right, when con-
tending that the decrease in the price Of
silver since 1873 is in part, at least, to be
attributed to decrease in the demand for
the white metal. Prior to that date this
demand was divided between the govern
me mt, that wished the bullion for transfer
ma ton into coin, and the manufacturers,
who desired it for transformation into sill
VerWare. 1t was required for use as mon
ey, and for use in the arts. By the demon
citation of silver, all demand for coinage
purposes was suspended and destroyed.
and the entire supply thrown upon the mar
ket for use in the arts"
The act of February IL, 1873 simply
dropped the silver dollar of 1884 from the
list of coins. These coins were out of cir
culation and probably out of existence
None Of them had been coined for years
There was no demand whatever for silver
to coin into dollars, and, a matter Of
fact, the government only had coined some
S,OOO,OU0 of silver dollars between 1892 and
1873. The act of 1873 provided for the
coinage Of the trade dollar, 35,0OO,OOO of
which were coined in the next three years
more than four times as many dollars as
the government had cOired in all it's pre-
vious history. Since the passage of the
Bland act of 1878 the government has coin
ed some 4OOOO0,OO0 of standard silver
dollars.
Whereas prior to the passage of the al
legged characterization" act of 1873. We had
in eighty-one years coined S.GOo0OO of dol
lars, and since the passage of the act of
1873 we have coined not less than 4:;5. o0oO0o
of silver dollars, how can any "well-in-
formed person say that the act of Febru-
airy r. 1873. suspended and destroyed the
demand for silver for coinage purposes. and
threw the whole product upon the market
for use in the arts? RUSTIC

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
While looking over The Star last even
ing 1 noticed a timely suggestion in rega rd
to furnishing cuspidors for the pension
office. which reminded me of a recent ex-
per.ence 1 had while on my way to the
matinee on one of the avenue cars Two
ladies and a gentleman G? boarded the car
and sat two seats in front of me, the gen.
tlenan 81 tobacco-cnarged, and as he ex-
perforated the wind playfully waited to-
baceo juice over me and into my face
and mouth This is not my first ex-
perience of the kind while riding in street
Cars and herdics. and l doubt not that
mary other ladies have had the same ur-
pleasant experience. Would 1t not be
wise 10 furnish street cars with cuspidors
or relegate the ''chewers'' to the rear seats
with the smokers. for of the two public
nuisances the latter is the least. At any
gate, this is the opinion of VICTIM.

Grand Opera House.

The Great Northwest" with all the special scenery and mechanical and electrical effects, direct from it's great New York run, under the direction of MT. F. c. Whitney, will be produced at the Grand opera house tonight and to- morrow and Wednesday evenings, with a matinee on Wednesday.
 The story of the play is very inter- esting one. and the scenery and stage effects are admirable. The cast is a very strong one, the honors being car ried off easily by Miss Bonstelli in the character of Grace Harding, the hero inc of the play Miss Bonstellis part is a difficult one, and a less experienced or less intelligent artiste might have been overawed at it's difficulties, but she makes a fine hit in her part, att taining a high degree of success, espe- cially in the windmill scene in the fourth act and the poker scene in the third
 An exchange says: 'In the final act when all is joy and happiness for her and her lover, Miss Drake, at each per- formance, received the heartiest ex-
 
 ors Miss Maud Hasford, in the un- enviable character of Stella Cross, was excellent, especially in her daring ride and in other scenes where strong act ing was demanded. Little Miss Davis, as Nubbins, was simply irrepressible In her loye-making with Jack she was irresistible, and the manner in which she got rid of her two other suitors, Gopher and Ginger, was laughable in the extreme. She displayed many of the kittenish ways which were so catching with Minnie Palmer in her palny days and which made that la dys reputation. With all her hoyden- ishness in her character of Nubbins there was a charming grace that be- spoke the higher class of genius. r. S. Bowling. who assumed the character of Captain Sheaf, a product of the great northwest, the hero of the play, proved himself to be an actor of high merit, and Emmet Corrigan, although his character that of Bart Foxwell, was not cast in as pleasant lines as MT. DoWlings, gave 9 very pleasing inter- pretation. Messrs. Conyers and Ken drick made the best of the two fire cranks, and MT. Rowland was the typi- cal western judge. In fact, all the characters were well sustained, and it is safe to say that with such cast and such accessories The Great Northwest can be only be g. success" Sale of seats now open.

The musical numbers are. as usual, fine attraction and will be identical with the New York production. Matinee Satur- day.

SUNDAY AT HATFIELD CHAPEL

Sermon by Rev. Dr. Hamlin of Wash
 ington, D. C.. Who Also Addressed
 The General Religious Meeting of the
 University.
 Rev. Tennis s. Hamlin, D. D., of Washington, D. C., preached at Battell chapel yesterday morning on ''Tempta- tions." He said that between the ages of eighteen and thirty men were most liable to fall to temptation, and since this is realized, after they pass that age, the usual safeguard isneiaxed with the result that many older people succumb to temptation, to the great surprise of their friends, who have always consid- cred them models. Many people pass through one or more great tests un- scathed but finally are overwhelmed as Joab, who refused once to rebel against his king, but finally the temptation to do so was too great for him to with stand After giving numerous ex- amples of this, the preacher impressed upon his hearers the necessity of guard ing against temptation at all times of life.
 Dr. Hamlin also addressed the gem eral religious meeting of the university in Dwight hall last evening. The usual class prayer meetings were held in Dwight hall at noon, the subject for dis cussion being Gods Law of Priority"
