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.

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.—

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 !

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.

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.

Of course “time and tide" and ele

rolled away from the station just as he
had completed his self imposed task.

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. It refused to touch
food, and even the influence which my
father usually exercised over it was gone

by the loss of its lifelong companion
We buned it beside its mate.—Cor. Lon

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. In place of the two men’s fig
ures with clasped hands and underneath
them the legend, “United, we stand: di
vided, we fall,” she thinks there should
be the figures of a man and a woman
with clasped hands, the same motto be
neath.—Rochester Times.
