-William M. Evarts's, famous lawyer, who has just celebrated his golden wedding on his farm, realized at one time an income of over $50,000 yearly for his practice. His fancy farm at Windsor, absorbed most of it. It is related of the distinguished lawyer that while entertaining a number of friends at his home one evening he produced several bottles of champagne and a quantity of milk. Turning to his guests he said, without a semblance of humor, "Gentlemen, here is some milk from my farm and here is some wine.

You can take your choicethey both cost the same." JAPAN'S SILVER CRISIS. Baltimore American. -Japan is now passing through a silver crisis that is far beyond anything this country has perienced. The recent action of India has depressed the value of silver in all Eastern lands, and the currency problem has become a matter of great concern to all the Governments. In Japan to-day the silver coins are only worth a little more than half their face value, and even at that price merchants refuse to take them except in small amounts.

Gold is in heavy demand, but is scarce. Japan has even a harder financial problem to solve than the one that confronts this country. Her Government is watching anxiously for the action of the United States Senate, and the effect it will have on the business interests of the country. AND THIS IS AN "AMERICAN" BASSADOR! New York -Ambassador Van Alen was educated at Oxford; during the lawn tennis season in Newport he lives in a Queen Elizabethan mansion, nished with antique English furniture; all the servants are English, some of them having been in the service of the Marquis of Lorne; he employs to valets, both English, to look after his wardrobe; he will not wear a collar or cuff that has been laundered the second time; he has thirty eight umbrellas and -four canes, most of them of London manufacture. Mr.

Van Alen wears his beard trimmed just as the dear Prince of Wales trims his, because it's English, so English, you know, and the conviction will be forced upon the public that he ought to have been sent to misrepresent this country in London-though when it comes to misrepresenting this country anywhere Mr. Bayard is entitled to serious consideration. GOVERNOR M'CORKLE. New York -In appearing before the House Ways and Means Committee, in behalf of the menaced industries of his state, Governor McCorkle of West Virginia showed himself capable offrising above the plane of narrow partisanship. The practical extinction of the coal industries of the Virginias, which would follow the placing of bituminous coal on the free list would mean the loss of $10,000,000 yearly to these states, not to mention the wholesale destruction of capital invested in that business.

The loss of such an immense sum would plunge thousands of hardy and thrifty toilers into poverty and suffering. As the Executive of one of these states, Governor McCorkle protested, Democrat though he was, against a policy that would result in such direful consequences. It remains to be seen whether for the sake of theoretical and partisan consistency Chairman Wilson of the House Ways and Means Committee will consent thus to betray the people and the interests of his own state. Mr. Wilson's duty in this emergency would seem to be clear.

Has he the courage to do it? THE PLAYTHINGS OF KINGS. New York -Even to Americans, who do not have the bills to pay, the stories of the European maneuvers must be becoming very tiresome. What must they be to Europeans who are not professional soldiers? The climax is reached in the account of the Austrian manenvers, in which the Emperor of Ger. many charged at the head of the Austrian regiment of hussars, of which he was honorary Colonel, and contributed to force the retreat of his host, the Emperor of Austria. All this is not child's play only because it is a preparation for devil's work.

It may amuse and instruct the high personages concerned, but it cannot edify a modern industrial people to see these medieval military shows produced at an expense that hampers every art of peace. As a French paper puts it, the people of Europe are oppressed and impoverished in order that their leaders may continue to look at each other sword in hand. It is a spectacle that should move the people of Europe to demand of their rulers statesmanship enough to reduce instead of swelling these enormous armaments. NASHVILLE, March 8th, 1893. Tenn.The Medicine Nashville, Gentlemen: I had sciatic rheumatism combined with nervousness and insomnia for six weeks, and having heard of so many people being cured of nearly every disease by taking Stockton's Antiseptic, I concluded to try it, and the result was wonderful.

SAMUEL SMITH, the veteran carpenter, was painfully injured yesterday by falling from a house in the East End. He struck upon a fence and had a couple of ribs broken.

CHRISMAN BEAT MILLEISER. Could You? HOW HE CAME TO BEST A VIRGINIA MILLIONAIRE. Madame Decca'8 Father Makes His First Appearance--He Exhibits the Patience of a Berks County Farm.

er-Chrisman Says Decca Liked Her Toddy-Oh, Madame! How Could You? The Harrisburg (Penn.) story of what might have been was told by Frances Leon Chrisman, the husband of Marie Decca, the operatic star, in the law library of the Courthouse yesterday afternoon. From Chrisman's testimony, which the attorneys for the plaintiff endeavored to have excluded from the record, the singer's choice of busband lay between Gustavus Milleiser, a Richmond, millionaire, and the defendant in the equity proceeding. It was the evidence of the defendant that he knew nothing of Decca's intimacy with Milleiser until early in January of 1892, when she astounded him by the announcement that she was going to marry the Virginian on the 25th of the same month. Chrisman at once threw up the managerial reins and told Decca if that was the case he wanted nothing more do with her, and that a few evenings afterward Milleiser was summoned to New York, at which place he was thrown over and Chrisman accepted. The accepted suitor insisted that the marriage take place on the same day set for Decca's marriage with Milleiser.

Decca was afraid of the sensation and the date was fixed at two days later, the 27th, at which time the wedding 00- curred in Washington. The sittings in the equity proceeding are dragging along slowly. At the hearing in the law library yesterday morning and afternoon the concert tour of the fall of 1891 was taken up. This is the tour taken immediately after Chrisman became acquainted with Madame Decca at Chautauqua, N. at which place the husband was doing newspaper work.

Madame Decca's father, a venerable looking old gentleman with a plenteous growth of white whiskers, made his first appearance. He listened with a great deal of patience to the testimony given by his son-in-law. To that portion of Chrisman's testimony, which showed that his wife had declared her father to be a great nuisance, he listened with the patience of a Berks county farmer waiting for an August shower near the end of a six weeks drouth. In fact with the patience of two farmers. It didn't phase him and he twisted his gold-headed cane gaily and smiled genially at the old gray haired janitor at his side and said something about the patriarch Job who became famous because of his treme good nature during a prosperous season of pesky boils.

The old janitor smiled and went to sleep again and pid not wake up until the testimony was brought out that the Maddine loved good old Kentucky, Bourbon dearly, and that a great item in the expense account on the concert tour was for the purchase of this Bluegrass luxury. According to the testimony of the defendant husband the money taken in at the concerts went to pay the expenses, and the receipts of the concerts were all eaten up by extravagant living. At some cities on the tour concerts were given, at others song recitals. The season lasted from early in September until in the winter some time. Some of the concerts, the husband said, were dismal failures, and his evidence showed that the Madame did not fail to remind him of it in language more forcible than elegant.

The concert tour took in the cities in Kentucky, Michigan, Illinois and Pennsylvania. It was testifled that Madame Decca had to borrow money to meet expenses on some of these tours, that they had stopped at the best hotels, rode in Pullman cars, indulged in carriages, and as Mr. Chrisman said, drank a good deal of whisks, a quart of which he explained he bad to procure for Madame Decca every day. A feature that killed some of the monotony incident to dry testimony was the frequent spats between the defendant and Attoruey Gilbert with reference to memoranda on some of the checks produced in evidence written by the defendant in short hand. Lawyer Weiss, too, amused the spectators.

In one instance the testimony showed that a concert had been given in the Presbyterian Church in a small town in Ohio. It had been brought out that Madame Decca wanted most everything she laid her eyes on, and Lawyer Weiss wanted to know whether the Presbyterian Church at that point in which the concert had been given had been bought by Madame Decca. The defendant replied that it had not been. Then Lawyer Weiss wanted to know, after Mr. Chrisman bad said he was not Decca's manager but her suitor, whether the checks and money paid had been given out as suitor or manager.

The question was not answered. There were twenty-six checks offered in evidence on the bank at Maysville, marked exhibits The husband said that no contract had ever been entered into between Madame Decca and himself, and on December 22d he parted from her in Washington. Then he came to this city for several days and then went on to New York. After the parting in Washington Madame Decca had asked him to try and arrange some dates for her with Seidl Damrosch and other artists of New York. She had made an engagement to sing in Boston January 7th, 1892.

While in New York, after the close of the a fall tour, Chrisman received a letter from Madame Decca which was produced in evidence. The letter was found to be incomplete. It stated that the plaintitt had realized that the concerts had been failures, and that she was done singing for glory: that she wanted ducats thereafter. Another letter was produced signed "Bunny." This was a business letter written to the defendant while he was still in New York. A third letter was offered.

To the admission of these letters in evidence the attorneys for the plaintiff objected, inasmuch as it was contended that the postscript on one of them was incomplete. Attorney Hall asked whether the letter had been written by "Bunny" and who "Bunny" was. The defendant explained that Decca had written the letter and that Decca was "Bunny." The "Bunny" part of the story created a ripple of laughter. In the early part of January, 1899, Chrisman met Madame Decca at the Aberdeen House, New York. He was at that place awaiting de- From The Troy (Kansas) years B80 we were very much subject to severe spells of cholera morbus and now when we feel any of the symptoms that usually preceed that ailment, such as sickness at the stomach, diarrhoa, we become scary.
