IT, the Editor of The Evening Star:
Can you tell US the present price of sill
yer? 1 do not see it quoted anywhere.
Wheat l see has gone up to s1.IO per
bushel. with the statement that 1t may go
to s., while silver is somewhere in the
ne:gh0orhood of fifty cents!
What a commentary the statement
SO often reiterated during the last cam
paign. that the price of wheat was gov
erned by the price of silver,
People should learn the common-sense
lesson that the price of all articles is gov
erned by the law OF supply and demand.

Conservation of St. Matthew. Chapel.


Bishop Satterlee consecrated st. Mat
thew's Chapel, Washington parish, at IL
I'm. yesterday, being the first church of
this District consecrated by the bishop in
the new diocese Of Washington. Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the weather, a
good congregation was present on the oc-
casion.
The service was a very beautiful and i'm
pressive one. After the conservation and
service of morning prayer came coniirma-
ton of candidates from the parish church
and st. Matthew'S: then followed the
bishops address to the newly confirmed
and the congregation at large, after which
the holy communion was administered.
The bishop was assisted in the several
services of the day by the Rev. Arthur S.
Johns, rector of Washington parish; the
Rev. John NJ. e. Mckee, pastor of st. Mat
theW's, and the Rev. DIR. DeVries, rector of
st. Marks Pro-Cathedral. Messrs. Hal
lam, McCathran, Earnshaw, Waters, Tay-
lor, Varella of the parish vestry and ward
ems and Messrs. Gibbons and Howell of
st. Matthews We're present to receive the
bishop at his entrance to the church.
The choir of the parish church, under
the dictatorship o. Mr.. Smith, with Mr..
Richards. organist, and the choirs of St.
Matthews, under the leadership of Mr.
Lavender, with Miss Rose Kuhn, organist,
nde1ed the music of the services.
st. Matthews was built about four years
pastoral care of the present minister in
charge. 1t is a purely missionary work.
Its lay workers in the church and Sunday
school heartily cooperate with the pastor,
and a thriving mission is the result. The
edifice in it's interior is described as a Wis
Gel Chapter doing all in their power to
heighten its attractiveness.

boats at Faro. The engagement was a hot one, but, as usual, the Anglo Saxon triumphed. Not a ship was left to fly the Spanish flag. The English loss was very small
 The list could be heightened consid- erably, always with the same result. Such victories as the Spaniards may have gained over the English was al ways done by vastly superior num- bers.
 The same may be said of their "vic- tories" in the new world. It was always a case of the rude implements of the savage against the armor and guns of Europe. When there has been any thing like equality on both sides the Spaniards have invariably been de- feated. And so it must always be for the reason that the Anglo Saxons are the most resourceful race that ever lived.
