Reson soe The Rights of a Voter. JUDGE BARRETT DECIDES THAT HE MUST NOT BE ASKED ABOUT HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEF. In the application of Eugene M. MacDonald, of the fourteenth election district of the Twen- tieth New York assembly district, for a manda- mus to compel the inspectors of election to reg- i name as a qualified voter, Judge Bar- in the Supreme Court yesterday, declared that the board must reconvene to register Mac- Donald. The latter lives at 467 East 57th street. New York, where he has resided the past fifteen years. When he presented himself for registration he declined to swear on the Bible, but said that he was willing to affirm. He refused, however, to take his hand out of his pocket and hold it up. He also refused to answer whether he believed in God. There- upon the inspectors refused to register his ns idge Barrett, in his decision, says: “The inspectors had no right to require the relator to affirm with uplifted hand, nor was it within their province to exact a religious test. In- deed, every interrogation upon the subject of the relator’s belief in the existence of a Diety was an impertinence to which no citizen in the absence ps pom suspicion of his truthfulness should be subjected to. A mandamus must be granted.” Jurors Moved to Tears. A BALTIMORE GIRL ON TRIAL FOR THROWING VITROL IN THE FACE OF HER BETRAYER, Mary Brophy, a bright and attractive girl of twenty years, was tried in Baltimore on Wed- nesday for throwing vitrol in the face of Harry Coleman. Not until she went on the stand, and with tears and moans told her story, was it known that Coleman had betrayed her. While telling her story the ladies in court and some of the jurors were moved to tears. Just facing the girl. while she was giving her testimony, stood the man who had betrayed her. is face was horribly scarred. The two met in the winter of 1887, and, under the promise of mar- riage, Coleman betrayed the girl, the result being that a babe was born in the latter part of the summer of 1888. Coleman resorted to il- legal means to destroy the child, and was sub- sequently indicted for the attempted crime. The father of Miss Brophy interceded in his behalf, and secured a nolle pros, upon the promise that he would marry the girl and save disgrace to the family, but this he failed to do. ‘The girl, crazed with grief, in company with her mother. who knew nothing of her ter’s intentions, sought her betrayer at house. It was after 11 o'clock at night when the girl pped at the door and called him forth, and, according to her story, after his emph: ic refusal to comply with his promise to marry her. threw the vitriol in his face, dis- fig ing him for life. After being out an hour the jury said they were unable to agree, thereupon the state, with the consent of the court, nolle prossed the case. = —se0_____ An Easy Victory for Parnell Probable. The evidence given by the police reporters before the Parnell commission in London yes- terday was decidedly favorable to the Parnell- ites. Sir Charles Russell cross-examined them thoroughly.and his line of questioning brought out responses that indicate that the League from famine and despair, and ages committed in Ireland were y to extremists who were opposed to ation in any shape. »pinion is now expressed that the in- ull not consume as long as it was first ight. The very nature of the testimony given thus far and the apparent weakness of the Times’ case seems to Indicate an easy and swift vietory to Mr. Parnell and his associates. cor A Few More Odd Bets. A local wager which is exciting considerable interest among the friends of the parties is that made between Mr. Joseph Holland, an ardent supporter of President Cleveland, and Mr. Joseph Abel, who believes that Gen. Harrison will be elected. The terms of the wager are that the one who loses will have to wheel the other in a wheelbarrow from the Navy-Yard to the White House. Two men in Iowa have made, perhaps, the most foolish wager that has yet been recorded. The loser pledges himself to take ten double compound cathartie pills, In the town of Dorado, Il, 75 girls have formed a republican club, every member having vowed to remain single until Harrison is elected. The young men of the same town to the same number have formed a democratic club and have all promised not to until Cleveland is elected. There will probably be a compromise after the election.

To the bad diplomacy and the sur- render of the democratic party we owe the reciprocity treaty of 1854, in which we got about one article to forty a8 compared with the Canadians, the reciprocity treaty which was thirty-nine degrees on one side, which was our opponents’, and one degree on our side—we owe that to them. In fact, it is notin the power of the democratic party to give a single treaty or diplomatic procedure they have made with Great Britain which redounds to the honor of the country.” ————+oe-_____ The Freedom of the City. MEN WHO ARE THUS HONORED BY THE GREAT CITY OF LONDON. From the Youth's Companion. Now and then it is announced in the news- papers that some eminent man—usually an Englishman, but occasionally a foreigner—has. been “presented with the freedom of the city of London in a gold box.” The last to receive this honor was the Marquis of Hartington, upon whom it was conferred in — in recognition of his political character and services, This custom is an ancient one, and is at- tended with much elaborate ceremony. It is voted to a distinguished man by the corpora- tion of the city of London; a day is appointed; the common council gathers in oficial costume in the ancient Guildhall; certain members are appointed who vouch for the worthiness of the | recipient of the honor and who are called “compurgators;” the new “freeman” signs the roll, and then the lord mayor, clad in the robes of his office, presents the eminent man with a richly ornamented gold box in which is placed the certificate of ‘freedom of the city.” ‘There ys in which a man may become what is called a “‘freedman of London.” The first is by inheritance. The sons of one who is already a freeman have the right to be | also enrolled as freemen of the city. The sec- ond is by “servitude or apprenticeship toa master already a freeman.” The third is by redemption or purchase, and the fourth is by | vote of the corporation, conferring the freedom | of the city as a gift, this being an honorary dis- tinction. All these methods are a part of the very ancient system of the municipal govern- ment of London city, features of which, indeed, may be traced as far back as to the Saxon period of English history. The freedom of the city is conferred upon eminent men for a gfeat variety of achievements. It is given to statesmen when they have done some signal act of statecraft or have won some notable success in diplomacy; to great captains or sailors who have given luster to British arms, or, in other countries, have had a brilliant career; to men of science, discoverers, explorers and philanthropists. It is also frequently con- ferred on royal personages. On the roll of the freemen of the city by gift during the present century are to be found the famous names of Pitt, Brougham, Peel, Russel, Cobden, Beacons- field and Salisbury, for their success as states- men; Well n, Nelson, Garibaldi, Napier of Magdala, and Wolsely, for deeds of war; Jenner, Rowland, Hill and Shaftesbury, for’ philan- thropy; M. de Lesseps for engineering science, and Livingstone for discovery. The royal dukes of Kent and Sussex and Prince Albert were added to the list, and the Prince of Wales and his son, Prince Albert Vi tor, derive their ‘freedom of the city” by in- heritance. Mr. Gladstone is a freeman by purchase. Three great Americans—Gen. Grant, George Peabody, and Henry M. Stanley—have also been presented with the freedom of the city. As a practical fact. the receiving of the fre dom of the city by gift of the corporation is an honor, high indeed, but without many substan- tial privileges. A freeman of the city has the right to vote for aldermen and councilmen, and is eligible for those offices. serabcenens anen-b ae So Frightened He Couldn’t Read. From the Norwich Bulletin, A Preston young man who went before the board of registration of that town on Monday to be made a voter, and who swore he was 21 years of age, was denied the privilege of quali- fying until he presented an affidavit from his mother stating his age, although he had shown the board the record of his birth in the family Bible—September, 1866. He procured the affi- davit, and was allowed to qualify, but he was 80 excited that he could not read, and although given three opportunities by the board, failed to meet the requirements of the law each time, and was rejected. Those who knew the young man say that he can read, but was simply in a state of excitement similar to that known as “stage-fright.” ————eee—____ A Human Hair Market. Some interesting facts are told by a London correspondent about a human hair market which is held every fortnight at Morlans in the Pyrennes, Hair dealers flock thither from all parte of the continent to buy the hair of the peasant girls, who get from 3 to 20 francs by i sale of the . open The most valuable colors are pure white and virgin gold, the former being worth nearly 500 frane us ounce, while it is said that the Empress Eugenie once gave 1,000 francs an ounce for a braid of golden hair that exactly matched her own. Let ladies who are possessed of this lovely hair of the color of “ripe corn” be careful of it; they will find it difficult to repair the ravages of time, for, we are told, there are orders for all the golden hair that can be found for five years to come. It is also interesting to know that Indies pos- . fine hair often carry from 50 to 70 miles of it on their heads. No wonder that they sometimes suffer from headache from the weight of their tresses, oo —____ The Biggest Passenger Engine Yet. ‘From the Boston Advertiser.

The greatly ad- vanced proportion of the increase of the United States is referred, to and the application of this will bring the population to the date named up to at least 550,000,000. The first proposition thns advanced is that the numbers of the English-speaking races will, at the period in question be enormously in excess of those associated with any other European or old-world language, and perhaps very considerably in excess of them all when put together, His second ni echo is that under the con- ditions of modern communication this ygst in- crease of the English-speaking races wil? draw them more closely together and will evolve and consolidate thronghout the mass astronger sense of moral oneness; and his third that great influence and great duties cannot but accrue to the English-speaking races, united by so many ties, and in such prepondcrating mass us towardagthe rest of the civilized world. The article conclude as follows: “Tam aware that, on the eee Ihave sketched, the same issues which give a pre- dominance to English-speakers in the world may also give a predominance among English- speakers to Americans. I do not assume that n thgse changes will be unmixedly for good. “What I desire is that we should meet them with a prepared mind; should be ready, we the English speakers among ourselves, to waive sectional for the sake of general advantage; that we should try to pel or neutralize de- tected or suspected mischicfs, to extract from each social force the maximum of good which it is capable of yielding. Most of all, that we should never allow the buoyant experiences of the new state to abate our reverence for the elder world, and the great traditions of man- kind; and that we should bear in mind how 'y new channel opened to our influence, y accession made to our social force, every | shifting to our advantage in the distribution of the momenta of human action, is a new trust for which we must give account, a new sum- | mons to us that we should live a braced and watchful, not a remiss and sluggish life, a new element of that universal priesthood in which every man who does his duty day by day ever offers for himself and for others gifts to the most-high God.” ——+e+. quine Dentistry. AST. LOUIS DOCTOR FILLS THREE TEETH IN THE MOUTH OF A VALUABLE HORSE. W. E. Murray, D.D.S., of St. Louis, recently performed quite an interesting operation in equine dentistry, according to the Republic of that city. “Billy,” the patient, a very dark roan horse, about 153¢ hands high, belonging to Dr. Morrill, of Washington avenue, has been suffering from toothache for sevéral weeks. He has been unable to drink except by press- ing his tongue against his upper teeth so as to | keep the water from touching them, and as soon as Dr. Murray was called in he saw the ecessity for the filling of the decayed teeth, amination showed that three of the incisors Seare badly decayed, and preparations were made to fill them and relieve poor Billy” of his sufferings. The scene was a peculiar and in- teresting one. Dr. Murray hada table placed at the side of ‘Billy’s” ‘stall, upon which he laid out his array of glittering steel in- struments, similar to but somewhat larger than those used in human den- tistry. Forceps, excavators, probes, scrapers, drillers, all were there, and ‘‘Billy” glanced at them with a wondering eye, but did not evince that shaky nervousness with which a human being undergoes the dentist's work. Strange to say, in his dental work on horses, Dr. Mur- ray, Who practiced regular deénistry for four years before beginning on horses, uses no gag, twitch speculum or other contrivance to secure the horse’s head, and states that he can do bet- ter work with the head entirely free. An at- tendant held “Billy” in his stall simply with an arm thrown loosely over his shoulder while Dr. Murray examined his mouth. There were three teeth to be filled, two of them badly decayed, and the doctor began on them at once, “Billy's” behavior was a model for hu- man visitors to dental establishments and he showed a 7 of fortitude and nerve not often met with, Dr. Murray dug and cut and “excavated” kel © hunks of decayed matter from his teeth and Billy stood without a movement, his intel- ligent eye following the doctor's work as though he fully appreciated it. Only once, when the nerve of the worst tooth was touched, “Billy” quivered and drew back, but stood firm again and let the doctor finish the filling. The teeth were all decayed from the bottom upward, and the cavities Were something fearful to contem- late. * The amalgam which was driven up and ham- mered into them would have filled the teeth of a dozen men, and “Billy,” with a napkin tied about his mouth and brought over his nose, seemed to appreciate the extent of the work, as he occasionally glanced at Dr. Murray with a look of calm approbation which was very en- couraging. The work was finished in about an hour, and “Billy” was led away considerably improved as to teeth, and having behaved in the most courageous manner. ee England’s “Only Cause of Shame.’? ‘THAT THEIR AMERICAN COUSINS ARE CAPABLE OF SUCH FOLLY AS THE SACKVILLE INCIDENT, ‘The London papers are not yet done with the Sackville incident. The @lobe says: ‘‘Unhap- pily for America in one sense, happily in another, the character of ministerial and jour- nalistic bluster during an election is compre- hended by politicians of the saner sort better even than among the best informed persons here.

We hear a great deal about the wonderfal Precision and accuracy of machinery in these days, and of course it is wonderful, says the American Analytst, but the degree of accuracy to which the human hand can be trained is equally wonderful, _ Playing cards are required to be cut with the sides parallel to each other, because if a pack be trimmed by the machine slightly wider at one end than the other and they become turned “end for end” in dealing, the excess in width of some cards over others at the end of the pack will be double the variation in any one card, which would facilitate cheating, a very minute variation being perceptible. The men who test these cards for this make calipers of their finger and thumb, and, by Passing them along from one end to the other, letect a difference in width between the two ends which it is difficult to measure by any other means, here are men employed in factories where dried yeast is made whose business it is to put the yeast into packages weighing a certain amount each. It is on a table in front of them in a large plastic mass, and there are the scales for weighing. But the men do not use the scales, They simply separate from the mass with their handsalump of it and put it up, and you may choose at random aa putit on the scales and it will weigh exactly the right amount, the scale’s beam just balancing, Where large numbers of eggs are handled and shipped to market there is a process known as “candleing” eggs, which consists in taking | them up in the hands (usually two eggs in each hand at a time) and holding them up be- fore a lighted caddlé. The light shining through themrevealsto the ractical eye the exact condition of the contents. ut some of the men soon get so that they do not need to use the candle, the mere contact of their hands with the shells denoting the condi- tion of the egg justas infallibly and much more quickly, And they distinguish not merely eggs which are decidedly bad, but those which are just barely beginning to lose their freshness. Here are three different ways in which ex- treme skill of the hands is shown by persistent training: First, in detecting slight differences in magnitude; second, in weight, and lastly, in texture or character of surface handled, eee What Imperial Tours Cost. From the London Truth, When the Emperor Nicholas came to Eng- land, about 1843, he staid a week, and his pres- ents of various kinds to the royal household and servants cost £20,000. The emperor of the French was nearly as profuse when he was a guest at Windsor in 1855. People say at ienna that the Emperor William put down the menu at the court dinner without reading it on finding that it was printed in French, and that after his breakfast with the imperial family he requested to be supplied with cafv au lait, explaining that cafe noir does not suit pure- bred Germans, I hear that the emperor’s tour in Austria and Italy will cost not less than £40,000. The amount which he has to give away to the servants of sovereigns whom Me visits is some- thing fabulous, and the presents of various kinds cost a frightful sum. The emperor took with him from Berlin 80 diamond rings, 150 silver stars, 50 scarf pins, all richly jeweled; 20 diamond bracelets, 6 splendid presentation swords, 30 large photographs of himself, with the empress and their children, all in gold frames; 30 gold watches, with chains (one of these is the.correct present to a kitchen func- tionary); 100 cigar cases, with the imperial arms and monogram in gold, and 20 stars in oe of the orders of the Black and Red agle. soo Saved by His Monkey. Paris Correspondent London Telegraph. An instance of the instinct and fidelity of a young monkey comes from Batignolles, a suburb of Paris. A'little boy (so says a French journal), the son of an inhabitant of that part of the city, was playing in one of the rooms of his father's flat with the monkey, which isa most intelligent and domesticated member of ite species. The boy, in a fit of juvenile caprice, tied the cord of a window Dlind around his neck and pretended to hang himself, to the immense amusement of his Simian playmate, which grinned and chattered on a chair. Sud- = ie boy became livid, and began to cry, for the cord had got into areal noose around his neck. Ina very short space of time the monkey took in the situation and tried to undo the noose with its paws, but had to give up the attempt. It then hopped away another room, where the boy's ‘was sit and began to pul bite ceo the old lady was htened, but: that it was feoeweny ey wi to drag her toward the door, seat and went, piloted by room where her grandson boy was —— extricated from his perilous position, though it was some time before he recovered from his and fright. the deliverer, says French authorit this Vpehy. edlbeprttgeat. received a nice tablet of c! te cream for his splendid tion, and he deserved it.

Her friends won't wear it, and it is too fine for the second man's shop, so she brings it to me. She has paid #500 or $300 for it; she leaves it here; by and by some other fine lady comes in; I show her the dress; she’s going away, perhaps; she likes the dress and gets it very cheap—half the first cost, Then the lady who brings the dress pays me commission, and if I get any- thing over the price she named that is also my rquisite.” sii Sut don’t the ladies recognize the dresses sometimes?” 2 “Ah, that’s where I must be very wise. I find out who are the friends of my patrons, and I am very careful not to show any dresses where they may be recognized.” oo —_____ Is Marriage a Failure. HOW A COUPLE OF DUSTY AND DUSKY LOVERS HAD THE KNOT TIED. From the Leary (Ga.) Courier. z Capt. Boyd’s store, last Tuesday morning, was the scene of sudden blooming of orange blossoms for a pair of young, dusty, and dusky lovers. Wiley had long been suing for the hand and heart of Alma Stevens, He had won her heart, but parental opposition stood in the way of a culmination of hig fomdest hopes. In the face of the protest of Alma’s father, Joe Stevens, Wiley continued his attentions until last Monday, when the —- father fell upon him and smote him hip and thigh. Wiley and his mother, Josephine, came to town next day to get a warrant for Joe. Joe and the girl also came along to “see ‘em out.” The party col- lected at Boya's store and made known their trouble to the captain, who grasped the situa- tion at once, and convinced them that a mar- riage certificate was the remedy for their trouble. The boy, however, held back, from the fact that he was out of ready cash and was not properly attired, being barefooted and in his shirt sleeves. “Oh, I'll sell you a pair of shoes, loan you a coat, and give you the money to buy the license,” said Capt. Boyd. “All right,” said the boy, and Dr. George was called in, and Mr. Bunch, who was author- ity from the ordinary to issue marriage licen- ses, filled a blank and handed it to Dr. George, who, stepping forward, said : é “Spit in your right hands and join them.” ‘They spat and clasped hands. “Do you, Wiley George, take Alma Stevens for your wife?” “Yer er right, boss,” said Wiley. “Do you, Alma Stevens, take Wiley George for your husband?” “Yes, sir,” replied the modest girl “Does anybody object to the completion of these bans?” said the doctor. No one objected. Then he continued: ‘By the authority vested in me as an officer of the greatatate of Georgia, which is sometimes called the Empire State of the South, by the fields of cotton that lie read out in snowy whiteness around us; by the lil of the een dog, and the gourd vine, whose clinging tendrils will shade the entrance to your arable dwelling place; by the red and luscious heart of the watermelon, whose sweet- ness fills the heart with joy; by the heavens, and all that is in or under them, in gpe pres- ence of these witnesses I pronounceéfou man and wife, and may the Lord have mercy on your souls.” At the conclusion of the impressive cere- mony an evident feeling of relief stole over the couple. They received the congratulations of the onlookers, after which they took their departure for Holt Place, where they helda reception in the middle of a 100-acre cotton- field. ————+e0—___ Suppers Instead of Late Dinners. From the London World. The development of luncheons and afternoon teas suggests to some minds a foreshadowing of a day when 8 o'clock dinners will disappear altogether from the program of society, and when the antique supper will be revived among us; when people will go straight from the park to the opera or play; when morning dress will be the fashion in our theaters, and every hour of summer daylight will be utilized at garden parties and polo matches, riverside clubs and suburban race courses, without the ig se tyranny of getting home to dress for dinner. en will wit revive in the cooler air of night, and supper tables and coteries will be as brilliant as among the belles and the blues of the Walpolean epoch; then will chicken and champagne r the play be the rule of society, not the special privilege of the dramatic critic; and on the first night of a new play a dozen of the stateliest houses in London will be open to droppers-in, with en- tertainment as large and liberal as that which Mr. Irving offers to his friends on the stage of the Lyceum. Then, too, will the little sup- per—where the guests are in number not more than the Muses or less than the Graces—be again a sweetener of daily life,a rest after labor; the dainty but not too elaborate meal at @ round or oval table, the windows open to the cool breath of the night, and the distant reverberation of wheels in Piccadilly—a mealin which there should be less of cere- mony and flunkeydom and greater freedom of speech; a meal at which we may destroy half dozen reputations as lightly as we shell the rawns and with not any more ill nature. To ring back the reign of the midnight supper we must needs eliminate the 8 o'clock dinner. Who will be the first to make the experiment? gris since! cnenand banca Sey Boys Will Be Boys.
