§he Jarlingion Jpfirji HENRY T. THOlllPSON, WADDY THOMPSON, Editors. Thursday, July 6,1893, THE FINANCIAL SITUATION. The announcement that the government of India had stop ped the free coinage of silver created considerable excitement throughout the world. The stringency of the times only needed a sensation of this kind to throw our people into a com motion. Our financial affairs were in a very precarious condi tion, money was scarce and many banks and industries were pushed to the wall. The trouble was not confined to any one sec tion, but was general through out the country. Business was seriously retarded, the tension was severe and the uneasiness was widespread. The people clamored for relief and the President promised to call a , extra session of Con gress in • September. In the meantime, however, the news came from India and the price of silver went down, while the public anxiety increased. In response to demands the Presi dent then issued a proclamation calling an extra session of Con gress on August 7. The action of the President has to some ex tant restored confidence to the public mind, for, while it is im possible to predict what Con gress will do, the feeling pre vails that something will be done to relieve the situation. Xhe government of India has dealt a sevem blaw, to the- coinage of silver in this country and, in fa#t, it is doubtful if it will survive the blow. The sil ver miners are shutting down their works and the free silver advocates are all at sea. To In dia the silver men have long pointed to show the blessings of a country having free coinage. Now their pretty picture is shat tered. The idea that fictitious values can with safety be given to money and that the United States government is big enough to act in this matter indepen dently of the rest of the world, has been given a serious back set. The best financiers agree that the Sherman law, which is fa vorable to silver, is largely re sponsible for the present trouble iu this country and an effort will be made to have Congress repeal it. Awhile back it was extremely doubtful if Congress would repeal the law, but it is now said that the crash in India has caused so considerable a change of sentiment among our national legislators that the re peal is not improbable. THE EXTRA SESSION. The President Calls Congress to Con vene on August Seventh. Washington, June 30.—The President this evening issued the following proclamation: Executive Mansion, Washing ton, D. C., June 30, 1803.— Whereas, distrust and appre hension concerning the financial situation which pervade all bus iness circles, have already caus ed great loss and damage to our people, and threaten to cripple our merchants, stop the wheels of manufacture, bring distress and priva.ion to our farmers and withhold from our working men the wage of labor. And, Whereas, the present perilous condition is largely the result of the financial policy which the executive branch of the government finds embodied in the unwise laws which must be executed until repealed by congress: Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, president of the Uni ted States, in performance of the constitutional duty, do by this proclamation, declare that the extra-ordinary occasion re quires the convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at the capitol in the city of Washington on the seventh day of August next, at 12 o’clock noon, to the end that the people may be relieved' through legislation from the present and impending danger and distress. ^All these entitled to act as members of the fifty third con gress are required to take notice of this proclamation and attend at the time and place above mentioned. Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at the 1 city of Washington, on the 30th | day of June, in the year of our, Lord, one thousand eight hun dred and ninety-three, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth. Grover Cleveland. Liverle* In England and Europe. Llrerios of uncommon and nnheraldic gliades are more common in England than on the continent. The Blounts, for instance, drees their servante in Marengo jwpjv'r and Balt, and there is to be wen in the parks a well known livery of vio let, with amaranthine facings—a rather startling combination. However, as a rule, good form and good taste are on the side cf simplicity, and the habitual Hvery in the best English houses is a black or dark coat, with only the colored or striped w listcoat and the dress white tie. The long white tie fastened with a pin is only u.lovable to the coachman ami the footman who rides on the box. The butler in England permits him self or is permitted to indulge in a li cense which is unheard of abroad. He apjiears till dinner time in a dress coat, the rest of the costum ) lieing emphatic ally a morning one. v broad this is nev er done. Either thin functionary does not show, or lie is invariably in a full dress suit. On great occasions and in ioiue aristocratic houses this is ex changed for the olack coat "a la Fran- caise," the black silk breeches and stock ings, and sometimes even a slender court sword, sheathe! in black. Ttie con cierge or hall jorter on gala days wears a rich, heavy gallooned uniform, shoes and silk hose, his big cocked hut worn straight aero is tho forehead en bataille, and lie car ies a tall, massive, silver headed ^ .uu For coachman and footmen the winter many cape.I overcoat has lieen almost entirely su|)erseded by the huge fur tip pets and h ng fur cuffs reaching nearly to the ells w. Some of these have been known to cost large sums of money.— London Letter. READY FOR THE BORE CONVERSATION OF A MAN WHO WAS PRIMED FOR A DYSPEPTIC. Nml<1 inif OIT to Sleep. The lost of voluntary jiower in a (lerson sinking quietly into sleep is very grad ual. An object is grasped by the hand while yet awake—it is seen to he held less and less firmly as sleep comes on, till at last all power is gone, and it falls away. The head of a person in a sitting posture gradually loses the support of the muscles which sustain it upright: it droops by degrees and in the end falls upon the chest. The head falls by, the withdrawal,of -power from particular Binscles, the slight shock thence ensuing (uirtially awakens and restores this pow er, which again raises the head, and this falling and raising, or in other words the nodding, continues as long as the dozing off to sleep while in a sitting posture continues. At the precise moment when the mind loses its consciousness there results a general relaxatioa of all the muscles. If the body be at rest in a lying posture, there is no marked result, hut if the body be in an uneasy posture, such as sitting, then the relaxation of the mus cles causes the falling of the head and nodding described.—Brooklyn Eagle. Dauger In the Thoughtlt*N« Compliment. "That woman,” said another as tiie person to whom she referred passed out of hearing, " s the victim of careless ad miration. Some one told her years ago that she had fine teeth, and since then she has cul'ivated a smile which shall keep them well in evidence. I sometimes wonder if it s not my part as a friend to tell her how wholly the effect of her good teeth is lost in the set grin into which her smile has degenerated to show them. “Another woman I know similarly suffers from the remark of a sentimental friend on the tender droop of her month. She has drooped and drooped it ever since, till the lines have Kittled into a most unbecoming because unnatural ex pression. "But perhaps the most common ex ample of the evil results of ill judged praise is the perpetual laughter. She has really a contagious or musical laugh, and of course somebody, often more than one somebody, lias told her of it. And so the l»ugh rings ont interminably and exasperatmgly. Beware the pitfalls of a thoughtless compliment.”—New York Times. Sending; Photograph* to the Prenldent. What und t the sun do people suppose Mr. Cleveland wants of their photo graphs? Do they think the White House runs an idem ifleation bureau? This is one of the craziest crazes the American people suffer from. Apparently there is ' an insane idea in the popular minds that the president wants to make a national photograph album to look at when he ) isn’t busy. Every mail brings its quota J of photographs, which includes the ba bies named after members of the White ' House family, all the "first" voters for Cleveland, all his discoverers, their wives and families, all the freaks that spring up, and pictures of all sorts of places. Mr. Cleveland, however, never seee them. The envelopes are opened by callous hearted clerks, utterly unappreciative of these works oi art, and the photographs are added to the great heap already eol- : lected.—Mrs. McGuirk in Kate Field’s ! Washington. Ta*tea of Ctoniu* In Youth. It is probable that the great men of the' past developed themselves as their tastes and inclinations led. They did not ' earn all they learned because some one else had learned it, even if certain branches were a foregone conclusion, and that which they did learn they learned be cause they f«R the impulse and the need. It it not the man who is just like every other man who help* the world along the most, but the man whoee different train ing and grow-th makes him individnal and gives him a coign of vantage that ; he would miss if he went slipping along just like every one else. Give the "backward boy" his chance, then, at that which suits him best and j be sure no harm can happen.—Harriet Prescott Spofford in Chicago News.

A Chronic Invalid, (lent on flrlating III* Own CaM*. ll« a Hr*of a More Remarkable One and I* Able to Get In but a Few Word* In the Coume of a Long Talk. ■‘You are so bnrly and robust,” said the orgulous dyspeptic, with secret scor:., to his casual traveling acquaint ance, "that 1 presume you are never troubled with dyspepsia. You have much to tie thankful for 1 am often in such a state that” Was the burly acquaintance to endure the garrulity of a chance dyspeptic? He was not. "On the contrary," he immediately re plied, for, never having suffered a mo ment in his life from any physical ail ment, his mind was active uiyl vigilant "On the contrary, I have anfferod un told torture from dyspepsia, and as you are interested in the subject I will will ingly give you my experience. I began with the finest digestion in the world, but while engaged in the military service of the country, being 10 years scouting on the frontier, the character of the ra tions, together with the quality of the confections of soldier cooks previously engaged in driving hacks and slagging castings" “Oh. my trouble was not with cooks,' interposed the dyspeptic isl'ily, but nevertheless much chagrined to find the burly acquaintance prepared to talk on on the subject. "As 1 was about to tell you, I am often in such a state that” "And the irregularity of the meals,” hurried on the bnrly acquaintance, "served, yon understand, in camp, al fresco and a la fonrehette sansceremonie, threw me into such disorder that I had indigestion, then dysiaqisia, then non- assimilation. I submitted my case to the army surgeons. They advised me" “Doctors aro of little use. I will tell you" "To confine myself to the simplest and most digestible edibles und esculents to be found in the military commissary But 1 grew worse, and the surgeons or dered me back to civilization, where 1 could obtain the delicate nutriment which my disordered and seriously im paired system required. 1 went to Chi cago and began a diet of chicken broth, fresh fruit, stale bread made from newly ground graham, steamed oatmeal” "Oh. I tried all those. Five years ago" "The result Was that 1 grew worse, as before, ami tlie local doctors advised me to go to—to go to New York, where 1 should be able to find foods better suited to my parlous state. Accordingly 1 wont to New York and laid out a diet of the finest and purest of the selected foods that that metropoKs affords” "Flain country f*id taken as the sys tem requires” “My physician advised exact regular ity. I had two ounces sea food, two ounces farinaceous food, two ounces of the juice of fresh imported fruits and two ounces coagulated albuminoids ev ery two hours. Growing steadily worse. 1 consulted higher medical talent. One doctor kept me on clam broth, another on tangerines, another on shredded broiled frogs’ legs, another on distilled alfalfa" “Five years ago” "Growing steadily worse, I consulted still higher authority. I was now told that my diet was at variance with na ture. The doctor told me that nature was proportion, rhythm, music—foods must be taken in harmonious propor tions. He prescribed the same sea foods, cereals, meats and fruits as the others, but in a chromatic scale of the decreas ing seventh, throwing in occasionally a few vegetables by way of variation o? the fugue and double extracts as over tones" “Of course you recovered, your case being merely temporary” "Growing steadily worse, I consulted a doctor who had had great success among the millionaires—financial suc cess. He was a man of blunt speech and plain common sense. He said I had overworked my stomach and must give it entire rest. What I was to do for a living in the meantime he did not say. but he took a large fee with great scorn rightly despising me for the small amount of money that he left me. My stomach was now worse than ever. It refused to be cajoled and despised my offers of peace. Excuse me a moment Once I had spent over 48 hours fasting. 1 then drank two drams of soda mint with four ounces of aqua pura—every thing was now drams, scruples and ounces with me, and the zigzag symbols of those distressing quantities appeared in my nightly nightmares like a procession of Daniel turnips and Humpbacks of No tre Dame—as 1 say v drams of sterilized milk at 70 degrees centigrade, with iv wiggles of bismuth and ii jiggle juggles of soda, with a couple of glasses of wine and pepsin to aid in the mysterious proc esses of digestion. “The large amount of actnal food con tained in the ounce of milk began to dis tress me exceedingly, but the wine, to which 1 was not accustomed, gave me courage, i took several more doses of it immediately, increasing the doses rhyth mically. I had not felt so well in months, 1 said. 'Wine is undoubtedly a mocker, but it is a good rnbifacieut, besides pos sessing valuable qualities us an autinar cotic and merrymaker. Now very well. Mr. Stomach.' 1 said, ‘you are unamena ble to gentleness, unmoved by kindness and irresponsive to the concord of sweet culinary symplionies. 1 will give you something to rage about.’ Putting on my hat, 1 walked Hgh*!y adown the street, and entering, not a doctor’s wait ing room, but a restaurant. I instantly ordered and partook of a repast consist ing in part of turtle soup, roast old goose, broiled fat lobsters, corned beef and cabbage, salt pork, hot rolls, Italia cheese, tripe, mince pie, black coffee, chartreuse and a black and green cigar "As yon can imagine, when you con sider the philosophy of it, that ended it I hope you will never be troubled as I’ve been. Good day.”—New York Sun.

He tVaii a Nobleman by Nature. Don't tell me now that men are callous and selfish when the woman is an old one. for I won’t believe it. We were hurrying to catch the ele vated train when a poor old Irish woman stopped, and directly in the way of all other would be passengers endeavored to readjust a strap that had slipped from the package she was carrying. Her hands were cold, and she seemed unable to loosen the buckle, when a good looking man,came up and seeing her dif ficulty laid his own packages down on the platform while he asked: “Can’t you manage it? Here, let me do it for yon.” Of course “time and tide" and ele vated trains wait for no man, and we rolled away from the station just as he had completed his self imposed task. We saw him pick up his bundles and walk toward the waiting room to ge t warm—for the wind was cold—never seeming to regret the train h»had missed for doing a kindness for “some one’s mother!" I found myself hoping that his wife, if he hail one, would not scold him for com ing home late. Oh, the world is full of charity if we only stop and look for it!—New *ork Herald. For Weary Feet. "My old colored cook,” said a woman recently, “keeps a pad of her own man ufacture always before the kitchen sink. It is made of several pieces of old carpet tacked together with strong thread, the whole being made over and renewed qnite frequently. When I asked her the other day why she kept the rather un sightly rug on her neat linoleum oo' ered floor, she explained that it was a great reet to her feet to stand off the unyield ing floor. “And when my attention was thus called to it 1 could see that it must be. and tlie idea was worth handing around. “I have heard saleswomen and men. too, complain to one another in the shops of the pain which they suffered from constantly standing on the wooden floors, and I presume this condition would be much relieved if a strip of rope mat ing could be stretched for their use."—New York Times. MUSIC WITH MEALS. Grief of a Pet Pigeon. One morning one of the two jiet pi geons belonging to my father was found upon the highroad dead, its body bearing marks of injury, but from wbut cause we never knew. We carried the dead body home and buried it in a sunny and quiot spot in the garden. For three days tlie surviving pigeon with untiring energj searched the country far and near for its mate, bnt in vain.

Burglar Proof Safe Quickly Melted.

One R . pect In Which Oklshoms Hotel Keftprrs Are t'p to Date. The hotels of Oklahoma up t" last fall were few and far lietween. Having tried several with little satisfaction, a party of hungry "tenderfeet” was directed by a commercial traveler to a little place on a corner. The commercial man said it did not look inviting, but it was clean. That was an inducement the party had not heard of in that section, and it turned in for supper. The dining room was one in which the family lived. A folding bed stood in one corner. An old time bureau was opposite. A box stove was in the way, and abont it were several old fashioned rockers. A few family pictures hung from the wall, with the old, old motto, invoking the. blessing of the powers celestial on the household. The party asked for supper and was told to be seated until the meal was prepared. Two girls, delicate and with much weariness in their faces, spread the table. When the meal was brought on, they simply said, "Supper is ready" and disappeared. The party gathered about tho meal, and it was agreeably disapiKiiuting. While it was being devoured—that is the best word to use, even at this distance from the table—the two girls came into the room, accompanied by their mother, a woman whose hair was white and whose face was a study. There must have been a time when she was beauti ful. They came in as if they hail been billed for the occasion. They went to one corner of the room, and then tho part} discovered that there was one of those old lime uielodeons in an oqt of the way plate. The mother took her place at the keys, and as the mournful melo dies responded to her touch the daugh ters sang, “Nearer My God to Tiiee," ''Nellie Gray," and then "Lorena." Think of "Lorena" on a melodeon Oklahoma! The party having finishe supper, one of them paid the bill, ami then the music ceased. It was a ques tion winch no one of that party wasever able to agree upon, or they had not rp to last accounts. Was the music of that night for the purpose of entertainment or to forestall the possibility of dupli cating any of the orders? — Chicago Tribune. Frlenduhlpe of Snakes. There is a certain coolness almost to be called a positive want of cordiality between snakes and human beings More, the snake is never a social favor ite among the animals called lower. No body makes an intimate friend of a snake. Popular natural history books are filled and running over with anec dotes of varying elegance 'and mendac ity, setting forth extraordinary affec tion and co-operation between a eat and a mouse, a horse and a hen, a pig and a cockroach, a camel and a lobster, a cow and a wheelbarrow and so on, but then is never a snake in one of these quaint alliances. Snakes do not do that sort of tiling, and the anecdote designer's iamg hiation has not yet risen t« tlie fe«t of compelling them, although the stimulus of competition may soon cause it. The ease most nearly approach'ngtiue of friendship lietween man and snake known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the zoo snakeheeper, and his "laidly worms.” But then the friendship is mostly on Tyrrell’s side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is rather more than human, as any one will admit who sees him hang boa con strictors around his neck. Of course one often hears of boys making pets of common English snakes, but a boy is not a human creature at all. Ho is a hind of harpy.—Arthur Morrison in Strand Magazine. Exa*perat!ng Day*. Aren't there some times in your life when everything seems to go wrong no matter how hard you try to have them go right? Those are the trying days when you want to blame all the trouble on the way you got out of bed in thi morning or on other people instead of looking the matter squarely in the face and saying, "It's one of my exasperating days, and if I can only keep my temper until night comes tomorrow will be dif ferent.” The trouble is when we feel ruffled ourselves we somehow impart the feel ing to others, and nine times out of ten we either get into a qnarrel or do some ugly, horrid little thing that we wouldn’t think of on other occasions. If you can, on these hateful days, manage to think twice before yon speak once it will save a lot of worry on the morrow. In fact, that is a good rule to go by at all times, for of all the unruly, mischief making mem tiers the tongue is the most prom inent.—Philadelphia Times. Why Not "For Better or Wom T” It is a Kentucky woman's idea that the coat of arms of her state dbght to lie changed.
