Everybody can go to the World’s Fair now at a reasonable rate and vet- erans of the G. A. R. can ride at the rate of one cent a mile. In this the railways recognize the fact .that the men who saved the Union are entitled to special consideration. Without their sacrifices there would have been no Fair in the year 1893. . .Our Silver Production. 5 The silver flurry can be compressed in "a nutshell, says the Philadelphia Times. The world is producing too much silver—more, much more, than can be usedv'as money or in the me- chanicalarts — and it has declined in value until it can no longer be main- tained as money without a radical change in the basis of value. Because silver is one of the precious metals and has been a circulating me- dium in all ages, we are slow to realize the now plain truth that overproduction of silver must be subject to the inex~ orable laws of supply and demand. We have committed the folly of ex- hausting the Whole power of the gov- ernment to maintain the value of sil- ver ; but those efforts have only made failure the more disastrous by delay. Our silver producers are now brought face to face with the fact that they must either lessen the supply by clos- ing the less profitable mines, or they must accept yet lower prices for silver. There is more silver than is wanted. and the emergency must be met just as the overproduction of iron, steel, woolens, cotton, machinery, etc., is. met. The supply must "be reduced to ' the demand, or competition will break prices,- ,and, no circulating medium can be put out by the gcvernment to any considerable extent that is subjpct to the fluctuations now visible in silver. It is of no consequence in this even- ing of the nineteenth century that sil- ver was once the chief circulating me- dium of the nations of the earth. We have metals to-day in common use which once were more costly than gold, but they are now produced in such abundance as to rank them withthe cheapestzof our metals. It is only a few years since steel rails cost $160 per ton, and iron rails have cost nearly $100 per ton ; but to-day steel rails are produced at an actual cost of $25 and. iron for much less. , - The fact that silver is now an integral part of our financial system calls for wise legislation to extricate us from our unfortunate condition. The de- parture to a sound money policy must be taken without violent shock to our vast and varied business interests; but the departure must be taken none the less. As far as silver can be used with- out peril to public credit, it should con- tinue to be used in this country; but the evident and resistless drift of the world is to the gold standard, and this country, with all its exceptional re- sources can‘not defy the considerate judgment of the world. England departed from the silver standard of money as early as 1818; Ger- many' followed in 1871 ; the Latin Union in 1875; Austria in 1892 and India in 1893. In this country silver was practi- cally demonetized in 1873, but- we haVe returned to silver by methods which have gradually impaired our credit un- til the whirlwind is now upon us. Only in Mexico and South America, outside of the United States, are silver coins made money with an arbitrary value. - When it is remembered that our gov- ernment has ,fully $100,000,000 of sur- plus silver, even at its present low mar- ket value, that is thus kept off the mar- kets of the world, although entirely useless to the government, and not wanted by any country of the . world, the extent of overproduction of silver may be appreciated. Suppose our gov- ernment were to sell the silver it has no present or probable future use for, what would be the measure of the de- cline in silver? In fact, with all the severe decline in silver, our govern- ment has bolstered it at fearful "cost, and singled item: from all our indus- trial products, for special protection against the laws of supply and demand. The support is no longer possible, and ' silver producers, like newspaper pub- lishers, iron and steel producers, etc, must bow to the immutable laws which govern the business of the world. O.

James Phillips, 52 years old, of 242 East Ninet -fourth street, a machinist, says the ew York Sun, came home Tuesday afternoon and said he was ill. He went to bed and at 9 o’clock became Violently insane. He was removed to the Presbyterian Hospital, where it was said he was suffering from acute dementia. It took four policemen to carry him to the hospital ambulance. ’Phillips has the reputation among the neighbors of being a sober and in- dustrious man. His wife says he has been very despondent for the past few days. On July 1, Phillips started with his two children by a former Wife for Norwalk, Conn., where he has 8. mar- ried daughter. Phillips returned with- out the children, and said to his wife : ‘fThat’s the last you will see of those children.” She has heard nothing of them since, and as her husband has acted so strangely since his return she fears harm has come to them. .____.___—Q. Returned. The departure of Miss Annie Mc- Pherson from her home Tuesda even- ing without the knowledge of er pa- rents, resulted in her return yesterday, With the further distressing fact of her marriage to.Ayers, thoroughly estab- lished. Annie was a blithe and good hearted schOol girl, not yet fifteen and her misfortune, for it can be ‘called nothing else, is at its worst, the moon- siderate folly of a mere child. But What can be said in defense of a forty or more years old scoundrei, and a divorced man at that, who would thus ruin the peace of an honored home and destroy the bio of an innocent child, is beyond our comprehension. ' Can any less .be said in mitigation of the idiocy of the Lewisboro' minister who unhesitatingly married a little girl in short dresses toa man old enough to be her father and at an unreasonable hour in the night, at that. Ayers took his child wife at once to Stamford where she was found yes- terday, a guest of his mother. It is a matter in every sense to be deplored, and the worthy parents of the child will have the sincerest sympathy of every one, and especially of every parent. Naval Changes.

NEW YORK, July 13.—-At the Coleman House Judge Newton, of the Coney Island Athletic club, and W. A. Brady. James J. Corbett’s manager, met and signed arti- cles calling for a contest at Coney Island next December. _ The articles call for a scientific glove contest of twenty rounds on more for a purse of $40,000, on a day to be hereafter mutually agreed upon between Dec. 5 and Dec. 20 next, under the rules of the Mar-_ quis of Queensbury, which are to be fol- lowed by the ofliciai referee in every in- stance and particular, the winner to re- ceive the full purse of $40,000, without res- ervation. The gloves shall be of a size al- ready mutually agreed upon by the prin- cipals. thereto, but of not less than five ounces. All of the conditions in the agreement signed during the month of February, 1893, shall held good in this agreement. The club agrees to post $10,000 and the principals $5,000 each. The articles will be delivered to Mitchell for signature, which must be obtained on or before Aug. 5. By the stipulations in the articles neither Mitchell or Corbett is permitted to fight with any one else prior to meeting each other. , As Corbett has arranged to meet J ack- son in June, 1894, it only remains for Mitchell to attach his signature to insure the match being held at Coney Island. Whether the articles will be carried to Mitchell by a commissioner of the club or intrusted to the mails is as yet undecided.“ They must go by the first steamer in order to be returned by Aug. 5. SHOCKED CHURCH PEOPLE. Sunday School Picnlokers Object to the Skirt Dance. HACKENSACK, N. .1, July 13,—Thc Sun- day schools of the First and Second Re- formed churches of Hackensack went to Greenwood Lake on their annual picnic. It required eleven passenger coaches to ac- commOdate the throng, many who en- joyed the outing not being Sunday school members. Much dissatisfaction was caused among the Sunday school members by the pres- ence of a. large number of beer kegs on the picnic grounds, and this was aug- mented later by a. number of the younger members engaging in dancing in the pa- vilion. Pastor Vanderwart appeared on the scene and endeavored to put a stop to iversion. The noise was so great, however, that his words of re‘monstrancc were not heard, and he was compelled ' to poAind .on the floor with his umbrella. in or er to gain attention. He asked that the dancing be stopped, but his request was unheeded. An actor and four soubrettes of New York, who are sunimeriug at the lake, were among those on the dancing plat- form. The actor played lively airs on the violin, and the soubrettes danced a reel and other fancy Steps, finishing with a sensational skirt dance, in which high kicking was the principal feature. The pastor and the church oflicers were grievously shocked by this exhibition, and the women teachers hid their faces in their hands. It was decided that if the Sunday schools ever have another picnic Green- wood Lake will not be selected as the place for the outing. Cappa’s Peculiar Transaction. NEW YORK, July 13.——The city officials are now after the heirs and executors of the estate of the late Bandmaster Charles A. Cappa, from whom they claim about $2,500. Cappa, who was leader of the Sev- enth Regiment band, contracted last Oc- tober to furnish music for the Columbian celebration. He agreed to obtain 2,090 musicians at $58 apiece for players and $16 for leaders- Cappa’s bill amounted to $19,200. It has now been ascertained that there were only 1,800 musicians supplied. When this discovery was made Mrs. Lizzie Cappa, the widow of the bandmaster. and M. J. Solomon, manager of the estate, together with the executors, were notified. They finally paid back 3450, but there is still over $2,000 due. The city threatens legal proceedings against .the parties concerned. Rolling Stock Seized. ' MANSFIELD, 0., July 13.—An execution for $347,100 was taken out in common pleas court against the Pennsylvania. Railroad company here by H. R. Sturgis and others. Sheriff Guthrie levied upon the depot property, seven engines and ten box cars, in all valued at about $800,000. In addition there are about $150,000 in other judg-- ments against the road. It is estimated that it will require 500 box cars and eleven engines to satify the execution. Captain Craner Not Dead. PANAMA, July 13,—A dispatch from Nic- aragua states that Mr. Henry Craner, of San Francisco, who had joined the forces of President Sacaza, and who was sup- posed to have been killed while fighting at the Barranca pass, is not dead as reported, but has transferred his allegiance to the other side, and now‘holds a commission as captain and aide de camp to Salvador Ma- chado, the provisional president.
