A New Li9y.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The new lily referred to in your extract

Datura, and perhaps of the variety Meta

the variety known as Ceratocaulon, de-
scribed in Peter Henderson's Hand Book of
Plants The origin Of varieties, as we'll as
species, the boundaries between which OAR
win describes as indefinable, is involved in
obScurity. The common ancestor was, per-
haps, more nearly allied to the present
form of the jamestown weed, Datura stra-
monium. but when the diversion occurred

MRS. BOGGs' MONEY.
Her Son Gives Notice of a COntest of
Her Will.

Lawrence G. Boggs, a naval officer, has
given notice of an intention to contest the
validity of the will of his mother Ellen
NJ. B1Sgs, the widow of Admiral Boggs
filed here several days ago. 1t is
claimed that the will provides that he sEaIi
receive but $3.50, $1,000 of which was be-
qGeathed TO him by his father. The es-
tate is said to consist of about $4,000 in
United States and District bonds and val
liable real estate. and the residue is divided
between the contestants sister, Katherine
Stewart Berry. her children, and the
widow and children of his deceased
brother, VIM B. BOggs.
Mr. Boggs complains that If his mother
wrote the will she was not at the time of
sound and disposing mind, and that its
execution WAS due to undue influence on
the part of his sister or some other person
or persons. Several years ago Mr. Boggs
married Miss Annie Dodge of Georgetown

Why Prices Arc Lower.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your correspondent, Hard Facts" it
strikes me, is little off when he asserts
that. When a dollar will command in ex-
change greater quantity of other things
it is more valuable than when 1t COM
mands less 49,.
On the contrary, it simply proves that
the other things for which the dollar is
exchanged have deprecated in market
value.
The price of nearly every article in use
is very much less now than ten or twenty
years ago, due to improved processes and
machinery by which they are produced.
and consequently dollar will buy more of
them. 1t is not the value of the dollar
that has changed, but the cost or value
of the articles.
amount of goods that dollar will buy, is
the overproduction of the articles, or what
amounts to the same, the lessened con-
sumption Of them, due to the hard times,
or other causes.
Again, while the price of one article goes
up. frequently another goes down, and ac-
cording to his theory in such case the val
ue of the dollar would be both decreased
and increased at one and the same time,
which, of course, Is absurd.
1t is not the value of the dollar that
charge but of the articles for which it
is exchanged; and the change of value in
the latter is regulated ny tEe 1nH2XlDie law
of supply and demand The dollar is sim
ply our unit of valucs-the yard stick, SO
to speak. by which to measure the value
of property, and no jugglery of words Sln
make it anything else.
The only reason why the silver dollar is
worth less than the gold dollar is simply
because of the increase in the production of
silver, and the decreased demand. for 1t
for use as money. With us, owing to the
promise and practices of our government
to keep it ut parity with the gold dollar,
the silver dollar at present will buy as
much as the gold dollar; but let the gov
eminent adopt free silver coinage, and re-
fuse to undertake to keep it at a parity
with gold, what them? Why, it would at
once drop to its bullion value, and no power
on earth could prevent it. The law of sup
ply and demand regulates the value of both
gold and silver precisely as it does other
things, as is shown by the fact that at
one time the silver dollar was worth more
than the gold dollar, at another or other
times 1t was worth less, depending on the
relative production of, the two metals.
True. the change h relative values Is
not affected as speedily as in other ar
ticles, because of the universal use of gold
and silver as money, but that they dc
change, and that the change Is due to
the law of supply and demand the record
for the past proves beyond question
