answer TO a communication received
yesterday morning:

Auditorium hotel, Chicago, IIl.-We
realize here that silver controls the con-
vention. Feeling is changing in this
city. The gold fever is dying desperate
ly. but surely. Silver is becoming popu-
lar. The presidential fight is even. 1t
appears that the democracy will sweep
the country. NcKinley's chameleon-like
financial record will kill him. Be govern
ed by the majority. Stick. Stand by
the party. The nations confidence in
silver will force success TO follow it as q

VINEGAR FOR BROWN MOTHS.
A Death Dealer Among the Parents Ct
Leaf Rollers.

Secretary Shute Of the State Horti-
cultural Office has just learned of very
effective method Of destroying the brown
moths which haunt the fields and
gardens during the months OF July and
August and lay the eggs from which leaf
rollers that destroy the foliage are hatch
ed the following spring. David Brothers,
a fruit man OF Wheatridge, is the person
who discovered the method and reported
it to the horticultural office.
The plan is to set out pans Of cider
vinegar in fields or gardens at dusk.
The moths are attracted by the fruity
smell exhaled from the cider; 1t any
by Mr.. Brothers last Thursday evening.
they fit about the vinegar and finally
drop into it and become helpless. On
that evening he set out in his garden
eight quart pans. each Of which contain
ed a small quantity Of vinegar. Yester-
day morning one tenth Of the total
number of captured moths were count
ell and found to foot up 800, making
5000 in all caught in the eight pans.
Last evening - placed five dozen pans
at different spots on his farm, the result
Of which experiment is TO be reported to
the horticultural headquarters today.
The secretary OF tho Board OF Horti-
culture says that the moths will last
about four weeks longer and that % per
cent ot their eggs are already laid.
Three -fourths OF the moths arc females
and each lays about 80 eggs. 1t will
thus be seen that large number OF
female moths may yet be exterminated
this season. il the method recommended
by Mr.. Brothers be generally adopted,
and thus an immense number Of leaf
rollers may be prevented from coming
into existence next spring. Secretary
Shute hopes that farmers and fruit
growers generally throughout the state
will adopt the plan during the remain
ing weeks OF the brown moth season.

West Shore Road, Morgan saw mill
ion dollars in it for him. He reorgan-
lied, saved money for the stockholders,
and Vanderbilt made him a present of
a silver service of 800 pieces valued
at $4,000. His next great stroke was
to save the Baltimore and Ohio from
ruin. and he incidentally made $4,000
600 by the transaction. Even greater
than this achievement was the trans
formation Of the sickly Richmond Ter
minal into the hale and hearty Southern
Railway.
These are some of the important deals
which Morgan has brought about.
There are hundreds of lesser ones, but
enough have been cited to show his
business character. Personally he is
a peculiar man. He loves yachts and
dogs and has spent thousands on both
these hobbies. He is charitable and
has given millions for philanthropic
and educational purposes.

The Work Day.

Sunday is the workingman's day-a
day for well-earned rest at home. AT
the recent English Church Congress the
Sunday question was discussed. and
the strongest advocate Of it's religious
observance was workingman. Says
the New York Churchman's:
With remarkable effect. he challenged
those speakers who had advocated a
modified observance Of the Sunday to
produce the workingman who would
defend the modern inroadS upon the
keeping of the Sunday as a day of rest.
1t is worthy of notice that as rule
the son of toll is in favor of the Ameri-
can Sunday. Even when he is not a
church-goer. the steady and sober work
ingman finds his chief recreati ton in the
peaceful pleasures of the home.
He does not seek the riotous beer
garden, he does not frequent the Sun
day concert hail. nor does he care to
break in upon his Sunday rest by the
noise and turmoil of a railway ride. A
careful investigation of the manner in
which the workingman prefers to spend
his Sunday will prove that such is the
case,

MRS. MONROE'S DOCTRINE.
She Made New Rule for Women OF
the Executive Mansion.

About the time that James Monroe as
President Of the United States pro-
claimed the great doctrine which bears
his name in international affairs his
wife. Eliza Kortright Monroe, took a
stand in social affairs which has stood
the test of time quite as we'll as that
of her great husband. She absolutely
refused to return any social calls.
Great was the row it stirred up and the
charges Of affecting royal manners and
customs and of being rude and all the
rest rained about Mrs. Monroe's head.
But it was of no avail. She stuck
it out and each ''first lady of the land
has followed her example since. SO
great, however, was the disturbance
over Mrs. Monroe's refusal to return
calls that John Quincy Adams con-
sidered it necessary to draw up and
