THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, THE COMING EUROPEAN WAR. France to be Invaded Through Switzer- land. From the Nouvelle Revue. France is too well guarded upon her Alpine frontier to allow the co-operation of the Italian armies to be of any real service to the German empire. But no serious obstruction up to the present could hinder the Italians from pene- trating the territory of the Swiss confedera- tion and opening up a direct road to the valley of the Bhone between Lyons and Paris. The Simplon neck would offer a wide and easy ac- cess to an invading army. This route between Domo d’Ossola and Brieg is an easy one. The declivity is very gradual, and the ground can be traveled over not only by wagons, but by the heaviest artillery, without the least diffi- culty. From Domo d’Ossola to Brieg the dis- tance can be covered by an ordinary stage coach in nine hours and a half, and one can travel it on foot in fourteen or fifteen hours. In this short lapse of time an Italian army could capture the head of the railroad line and of the entire route leading to the French fron- tier. The greater portion of the Simplon, and particularly the neck, is situated on Swiss ter- Fitory: ‘At this strategic point, the im ce of which is manifest, the line of the frontier runs along at about half the height of the Ital- ian side of the Alps. Switzerland has, therefore, in her hands the key of a e that, without natural difficul- ties, would lool an Italian army into the valley of the Saone. Only three old forts are in ex- istence to bar a route so important—the forts of Saint Maurice, « little town of 15,006 inhab- itants, situated at the entrance of the first de- file which is encountered in going up the Rhono from its source in Lake Geneva. At this point the two routes and the two lines of rail- toad coming from the lake unite. The enor- mous rocks of the Dent de Morcle on the north and of the Dent du Midi on the south come so close to each other that the eget that spot s through a narrow gorge. e Remene Unew the importance of this post, which they named Agaunum. Three forts stand there to defend this pass, but they are far from being formidable, and probably would not hold out long against modern artillery. They constitute the only defences of the entire valley. There are no other redoubts, not even at the Simplon neck. Will the federal government hesitate about closing this dangerous opening, which might bring into Swiss territory the forces directed against France? The best military writers of Switzerland believe that it is necessary to make haste in closing this passage while there is yet time; and the Swiss colonels, Siegfried and Rothplez, hold that the torts of Suint Maurice tam be turned. The federal government has fortified Saint Gothard, but it has done nothing with the Simplon; and this is the neck that leads straight to Lyons by passing through Geneva, Lausanne and Berne. King Humbert does not dream of attacking the Gothard; he would prefer to turn it, and establish solidly a line of operations of which the Simplon would form the base. There the Italian army would find an open door for its co-operation with a German army coming from Baden and War- temberg, as it would avail itself of it rather than break itself to pieces against the Alps. —— ie His Conduct was Considered Onery Mean. From the New York Sun. ‘There was to be a hanging in a South Caro- lina town, and the people had come from far and near to witness it. An hour before the time set for the execution the crowd numbered fully fifteen hundred. Half an hour later word was given out that the condemned had been reprieved, and that there would be no hanging. A very few expressed their satisfaction that the governor had interfered, but the majority were greatly disappointed.’ One man, after considerable loud talk, pushed his way through the crowd to the jail, and called to the sheriff, who stood on the steps: “You, thar’. Jim Reeves!" “What is it?” “Hain't Jim Renfoe gwine to be hung?” es. “Did Jim hev anything to do with it?” “Well, he didn’t want to be hung, and he en- couraged his lawyers to do their best.” “He knowed thar’ was a big crowd yere?” je knowed what we come fur?” ca.” ‘Look yere, Jim; I've driv fo’teen miles to see this yere, and I've got the ole woman and the three children yere and my five niggers hev got a holiday, and who's gwine to pay the ex?” ‘Thar’ ain't no damages.” “Thar’ hain't, eh! Don’t you twitter that thar’ hain’t! Somebody has got to make up to me fur this. I'll sue the whole parcel o* ye from governor down and if I can’t git satisfac- tion then Jim Renfoe had better look out fur me! Aman as will go and pizen his grand- mother and git all ready to be hung and then kick agin it and leave a big crowd in the lurch is too onery fur this section, and I'm gwine to camp on his trail!

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Not only does every woman who enters an elevator containing a mirror turns round im- mediately, touch up her frizzes and remove flakes of soot from her face, but men adjust their neckties, take a deliberate survey of themselves, and pose and inflate their chests like Col. Sellers, of lamented memory. A lit- tle stenographer in her building over near the city hall had been observing this peculiarity in the lords of creation. One day, having sur- prised a man making a more deliberate and careful scrutiny than usual, she expressed her opinion to “James,” the elevator man. “You needn't taik to me about the vanity of women after that,” she exciaimed scornfully, “men look at themselves twice as long and twice as intently as the vaimest woman that ever breathed.” “You didn't hear what he said to me, did you?” asked James. “No.” “He said: ‘I've been drunk just wanted to see how I looked. ar days, an’ I see — A Big Mistake. From the Ocean. In the early days of the direct tea trade with Chins importers were anxious to secure the earliest cargoes of a new crop. The fastest clip- per ships were engaged in the trade. Great haste in loading them was followed by a hot race to reach New York first. The first cargo brought the best price and large profits, The successful captain was always rewarded, so every known aid to navigation was adopted. ‘The young captain of one of Mr. Astor’s clip- pers bought, on one of his trips, a new chro- nometer, and with its aid made a quick sage, and arrived first. He put the price of it into the expense account of the trip. but Mr. Astor threw it out, insisting that such’ items of expense for new fangled notions could not be allowed. The captain thereupon resigned and took service with a rival line. The next year he reached ort long before any competitor, to the great delight and profits of his exployers and the chagrin of Mr. Astor. Not long after they chanced to meet, and Mr. Astor inquire. by the way, captain, how much that raix hundred dcllare I inquire, ~ ; and ma} ire, Mr. Astor, how much it has cost yout” thousand dollars.” “Sixty ‘The moral is plain.

From the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Hamlet thought one could escape the vexations of the law's delay by shuffling off the mortal coil. He didn’t know the resources of a Chicago lawyer. A man here isn't any longer safe from the law's clutches, even after he has carried out a determination not to be and the undertaker has completed his work. John Soderberg was a patriotic shoemaker, He stood in the door of his little shop at 142 Wells street on the Fourth and gleefully fired off a revolver in honor of his adopted country’s birthday., The shot from the revolver hit Mrs. Beck as she satin her cigar store across the way. The wound was not a serious one. So- derberg was not arrested and continued on the most friendly terms with his neighbors across the street. His grief at having been the cause of the unfortunate accident was great. He loaded the wounded woman with delicacies, She had to cheer him up each day when he called. But his remorse e 80 great that, standing by her bedside one day, he said he could bear up under it no longer, and, drawing the revolver, which was the cause of all the trouble, he took his own life. All this red the Becks greatly. Their grief was ially poignant, because Soder! C- i berg had prom- ised to pay the doctor’s bill, and had told them to order anything that was wanted and he would pay for it. They wanted that money and they wanted it badly. So suit was begun yes- tezday for personal damages, the amount being set at $5,000. Bringing suit against a dead man is an unusual proceeding, but O'Donnell, Bary & Coghlan, the attorneys, thought that, under the circumstances, this proceeding was the right one, __ “We found a precedent for such a proceed- ing,” said Mr. Bary, “but this is the second suit of the kind ever brought. We will later have Soderberg’s death suggested on the record and ask that the administrators be made de- fendants.” A deputy sheriff was sent out with the sum- mons yesterday, but the plaintiff was out of the jurisdiction of the circuit court and the sum- mons was returned endorsed *‘Not there.” The funeral of the dead man will be to-day if the police don’t conclude to arrest him or some other legal interference stop it. ee WHEN TO MARRY. Some Sage Advice From the Nutmeg State—Don’t Marry Too Young. From the New Haven Journal and Courier. It is the common idea that the best time to marry is when one wants to and can conve- niently and comfortably. But there are some people who have more or less prudence about marrying, and some even have so much that they never marry. A writer in the Hospital, who dares not say whether he is married or not, attempts to tell women when they should marry. He addresses himself to what he calls the average civilized woman, and he advises her to marry at any age between twenty-four and thirty-six. Itis not said that no woman shall marry earlier or later than either of these ages; but youth and health and vigor are ordinarily at their highest perfection be- tween these two periods. Very early marriages are seldom desirable for girls, and that for many reasons. eir brain is immature, the reason is feeble, and the character is unformed. The considera- tion which would prompt a girl to marry at seventeen would in many cases have very little weight with her at twenty-four. At seventeen she is a child, at twenty-four a woman. Where a girl has intelligent parents, the seven years be- tween seventeen and twenty-four are the period when both mind and body are most amenable to wise discipline and best repay the thought and toil devoted to their development. Before seventeen but few girls have learned to under- nd what life is, what discipline is, what duty They cannot value what is best, either in the father’s wisdom or in the mother’s tenderness. When married at that childisn period, they are like young recruits taken fresh from the farm and workshop and carried off toa long campaign without prelim- inary drill and training, or like a school boy re- moved from school toacuracy without being sent to the university or to a theological hall. Who can help grieving over a child-wife, especially if she have children, and a husband who is an inexperienced ana possibly exacting boy-man? The ardor of his love soon cools. The .vision- ary bliss of his poetical imagination vanishes like the summer mist; there is nothing left but disappointment and wonder that what promises to be so beautiful and long a day should have clouded over almost before sunrise. This seems to be sensible. It could be wished that it had appeared in some other place than the hospital, but we must take things as we find them. We commend it to those civilized women who have reached the age of twenty- four and are not yet married; also to those who are almost thirty-six and are still single, ~ eee Well Paid Racing Judges. New York Letter to Philadelphia Times. ‘The responsibility of the judges in a horse race is very great, and these big race tracks are hiring experienced men both to start horses and judge the finish. Mr. Caldwell, who works on nearly all the big race courses east, gets 2100 a day for starting the races of the after- noon, and he is regarded as the best in the country. He gets a larger salary for his year’s work than the judge of any court in the U: States, He earns twiceas much as an assuciate somes of the Supreme Court, who is forced to live in style in Washington. Col. Simmons is the paid judge for several of the prominent Eastern associations. He receives $50 a day as the presiding judge in the stand. The other two are not paid, but are selected from promi- nent turfmen on tLe track. They have little to say except in case of a dispute. The reason the race men give me why the judge does not get as much pay as the starter is that his duties are not as delicate or onerous; that, as a rule, there is no dispute as to the finish of a race, while few races are ever started that there is not more or less fault found with the man who drops the flag. eee Welcoming a Son-in-Law. From the Detroit Free Press. One of Detroit's gilded youths is soon to be married to a pretty girl who is the youngest of a family of six. When he offered himself to the girl she referred him to her father, who is «plain, sensible man, with no nonsense about him. He looked the young man over and asked him about his collaterals, and learned with some surprise that he hadn’t any; he was aclerk on a small salary which was hardly enough for one to live on comfortably. “But I love your daughter,” he ended by saying. “I love her very tenderly and she loves me, and I promise if you will give her to me to make her appy.” Px right,” said the old man grimly, “take her. I’ve only six to provide for now, and one more won't make much difference. eee Nevada’s Deep Mines.
