Howard's Letter on Patti and Public Fame's Decline
Welma Delare reflects on Patti and Adelina Patti's era, noting public tastes fade and singers slip into obscurity. The essay laments club culture, shifts in New York, and the fragile arc from fame to obscurity through examples like Brignoli Kellogg and Boucicault, urging acceptance of aging and the impermanence of glory.

Copper Syndicates Drive Copper Markets Down and Up
A correspondent recounts a five year scheme by London and Paris metal interests to manipulate copper prices. English bankers allegedly funded a buyout of Chilean “Chili bars,” depressing copper and driving prices to 14 to 15 cents, then France joined to boost tin to create artificial demand. The plan collapsed into a copper price spike before London and French actions revived production, while the article condemns London’s influence and praises the French averted ruin.
