From the American Woman, The apothecsts of woman, which {s the so original feature pf “sgclety” in America, is first and above all the apotheosis of the young girl. These wofds, so simple, are still two words to; be explained, for it is probable that on all:the poigts—reserving, let it be understood; that of honor—they ex- press exactly the opposite in the United States to what they d6 in France. What first strikes the traveles who has heard so much of the young American girls is the absolute impossibility of-distinguishing them from the young wommen.* The fact, so much commented upon, "that*tlfey can come and go alone as they pleas¢ would not suflice to establish the confusion. The identity goes further. ‘They bate the same jewels, the srme tollets, the’ same liberty of speech and laughter, the same books to read, the same manner, the same beauty already fully developed, and, thanks to the Invention of the “chaperon,” there ts not a theater or res- taurant party to which they cannot go, alone naturally, and at the Invitation of any gentleman of their acquaintance. The quality of that official surveillance may be measured from another fact, that the young lady for whom the bachelor gives the party chooses herself the chaperon. The youngey that chaperon is the more she is appreciated. The young widow and the “grass widow’’—the woman separated, di- vorced or simply isolated temporarily from her husband—tills the ideal conditions of the part. You might just as well say that the young girls whom you see at Delmonico’s in the company of three young men and the said chaperon, or who go and take tea at the rooms of another young man, are as free as though they had no one to look after them than themselves. It is that habit of acting for themsely2s without control which is manifested in the singular assurance of thelr countenances. Girls and Marriage. One of the most amiable men of New York, who is a poet, has had the idea of forming a collection of miniatures, where he places, with their permission, all the pro- fessional beauties of the town, I remember that in examining them with the magnify- ing glass through the pane behind which those hundreds of pretty and fine faces smile forth, I sought to guess those who had known marriage and could not succeed. What, in truth, will ft bring them more when it comes? Duties, a husband to bear with, children to care for, a house to look after. Today the young girl has none of the burden of those chains. She knows it, and she enjoys the time she has to the utmost. She will not have one liberty the more when she is married, and she will have less time in which ta amuse herself. But in most cases she marries late. If tt i not quite an end to her, as it 1s for the young man of Paris when he decides to break off his bachelor life, it is at least a commencement of abdication. The majerity do not conceal \t. Paul Bourget, “We must amuse ourselves before mar- riage,” said one of them gayly to me. “Does one know what will come after?” The divorce cases, of which the newspa- pers publish the detatls from time to time, prove that that young person had as much good sense as beauty. For my part, after having closely investigated the human con- ditions here and in Europe, I think that for @ young man of twenty-five years the best chances of happiness are to be an English- man of good family, concluding his studies at Oxford, and for a young.girl to be born American, with a father who has made his money in’ mines, railways or land specula- tion, and to arrivé with good sponsors in the society of New Yori or Washington, EDUCATIONAL Sanatory “Gymnasium FOR WOMEN AND | 12-614 12th ot.

W. Bartley has been suffering for nearly a week past from the effects of an accident to his foot, caused by a horse stepping upon it, and nearly crushing off two toes. Preparations have been completed for the republican mass meeting in Oxon Hill dis- trict for Monday night. Speakers have been secured, and the promise of a large attend- ance from present indications seems likely to be fulfilled. Old residents of the dis- trict who -have moved into Anacostia are much interested and promise to ald the Marylanders. The local police force are much interested in the hunt for the robbers who rifled the train last night near Quantico. It is sup- posed the marauders crossed the river into Maryland down below Piscataway, and the $1,000 reward is arousing the local police and county officers to action, There was no strike on the Anacostia street car line this morning as predicted by some, What really did occur was the resig- nation of one driver, who said he had the offer of a better position. Everything in railway circles has resumed its normal con- dition, and the two police, who have been on duty in anticipation of trouble have been withdrawn. It was anncunced that if the company started bob tail cars it would be a violation of the law, but a scrutiny of the act of Congress requiring the use of two horse cars makes a special exception to roads running through sparsely settled sections and during the debate on the bill it was stated that the measure did not ap- ply to the Anacostia road. Efforts are being made to arouse the Commissioners to action regarding the sweeping of Monroe street and Nichols ave- nue, The Commissioners promised that it should be done twice a week, but last night it was just six weeks since it had been swept. <A petition is being circulated against Its dirty conditiot —— BROOKLAND, Mrs. Arthur Nichols and daughter have returned to their home in University Heights after spending the summer in Virginia.

The hall was beautifully decorated and suggestive placards adorned the walls. Mr. R. Dorsey Trundle presided and intro- duced W. Viers Boule, jr., who set the ball a gving. Ferdinand Williams was the next speaker, and the principal topie he dis- cussed was tariff reform. His speech was well received. Representative Wm, M. Mc- Kaig, present Congressman from the dis- trict, followed Mr. Wiiliams, and solicited the unanimous support of the democrats of the ninth district for the candidate. Many republicans and a number of ladles were also at the meeting. Mr, J. P. Snyder has resigned as post- master at Derwood, and Mr. Clarence Hos- kinson is an applicant for the position.

The most important subject considered by the bankers’ convention at Baltimore has been the currency plan of the Balti- More bankers, presented by Mr. ©. ©, Homer, president of the Second National Bank of that c'ty. At the conclusion of his address on Thurs- day, Mr. Hepbura moved that the prin- ciples underlying the proposed plan be in- dorsed and adopted, and that legislation be recommended along the lines embodied in it. The resclution was adopted. A committee of nine was ap} ited to lay the plan before Congress. The committee compris2s Charles ©, Homer of Baltimore, Horace White of New York, Joseph C. Hendricks of New York, Skipwith Wilmer of Baltimore, R. J. Lowry of Atlanta, Ga., A. P,. Heburn of New York, Charles Par- sons of St. Louls, G. L. Christian ef Rich- mond, Va., ard W. T. Baker of Chicago. ‘ The main points of the plan are as fol- lows: The provision of the rational banking act requiring the deposit of bonds to secure circulating notes hereafter issued shall be repealed. Allow the banks to issue circulating notes to the amount W per cent of their paid- up unimpaired capital, subject to a tax of one-half of 1 per centum per annum upon the average amount of circulation outstand- ing for the year, and an additional circula- tion of 25 per centum of the paid-up, un- impaired capital, subject both to the tax of one-half of 1 per centum per annum and to an additional heavy tax per annum upon the average amount of such circulation outstanding for the year, said additional 25 per centum to be known as “emergency circulation.” The tax of one-half of 1 per centum per annum upon the average amount of circu- lation outstanding shail be paid to the treasurer of the United States a means of revenue, out of which the expenses of the office of the controller of the currency, the printing of circulating notes, etc., shall be defrayed. The excess over one-half of 1 per centum of the tax imposed upon the “emergency circulation” shall be paid into the “guar- antee fund” referred to in section 6. The banks issuing circulation shall de- posit and maintain with the treasurer of the United States a “redemption fund” equal to S per centum of their average out- standing circulation, as provided for under the existing law. The redemption of the notes of all banks, solvent or insolvent, to be made as provided for by the existing law. A Guarantee Fund, Create a “guarantee fund” through the deposit by each bank of 2 per centum upon the amount of circulation received the first year. Thereafter impose a tax of one-half of 1 per centum upon the average amount of outstanding circulation, the same to be paid into this fund until it shall equal 5 per centum of the entire circulation out- standing, when the collection of such tax shall be suspended, to be resumed whenever the controller of the currency shall deem it necessary, The notes of insolvent banks shall be re- deemed by the treasurer of the United States out of the guarantee fund, if it shall be sufficient, and if not sufficient then out of any money in the treasury, the same to be reimbursed to the treasury out of the “guarantee fund,” when replenished either trom the assets of the failed bank or from the tax aforesaid. National banking associations organized after this plan shall have gone into opera- tion may receive circulation from the con- troller of the currency upon paying into the “guarantee fund” a sum bearing the ratio to the circulation applied for and allowed that the “guarantee fund” bears to the total circulation outstanding, and to be subject to the tax of one-half of 1 per centum per annum, as called for by the treasurer of the United States for the creation and mainten- ance of this fund. No association or individual shall have any claim upon yr ge of the money in sald “guarantee fund” except for the re- demption of the circulating notes of any in- solvent national banking association. Any surplus or residue of sald “guarantee fund” which may be hereafter ascertained or de- termined by law shall inure to the benefit of the United States. The government shall have a prior Men upon the avsets of each failed bank and upon the Hability of shareholders for the purpose of restoring the amount withdrawn from the “guarantee fund” for the Tedemp- tion of its circulation, not to exceed, how- ever, the amount of the failed bank's out- standi: circulation after deducting the sum to its credit in the “redemption fund” (section 4) already in the hands of the treasurer of the United States. Circulation can be retired by a bank at any time upon depositing with the treasurer of the United States lawful money in amount equal to the sum desired to be with- drawn, and immediately upon such deposit the tax indicated in sections 2, 3 and 6 shal! cease upon the circulation so retired. In the event of the winding up of the business of a bank by reason of insolvency or otherwise, the treasurer of the United States, with the concurrence of the con- troller of the currency, may, on the appli cation of the directors or of the liquidator, receiver, assignee or other proper official, and upon being satisfied that proper ar- rangements have been made for the pay- ment of the notes of the bank and any tax due thereon, pay over to such directors, Nquidator, receiver, assignee or other proper: official the amount at the credit of the bank = = “redemption fund” indicated in sec- ion New Officers.

I made the St James my headquarters, where, as you all know, ittly Ottman ts in charge of the bar room. I was leaning on the bar one night talking with Billy after @ bad day at the track, and made a remark similar to that Bob dropped just now about picking losers. Ottman stopped shaking my drink and quietly said it was just as hard to name losers as it was to select winners. ( course, 1 laughed at him. The idea of not being able to name a sure loser in every race WAS preposterous to me, and I said so. Ottman smiled and remarked that he'd bet me a bottle of wine that 1 couldn't name the losers in the six races on the card next day at Monmouth. The entries were al- ready posted, so 1 picked out six of what 1 considered were the worst old skates that ever hobbled out of a paddock. I was scorn- ful when Ottman advised me to back each one of them to win for a iittie bit, #o as to get even on the wine I'd have to pay for, but I'm a Dutchman if two of my dead sure losers didn't win their races next day. You fellows may laugh, but just try picking losers some time and see how it will come out. “Judge William P. Maulsby, who was buried In Frederick last week, was one of the most remarkable men at the Maryland * sald Mr. Wm. Veirs Bouic of Rock- ville, at the Riggs House this morning. “He was a legal fighter of remarkable vigor and versatility, and never tired in a con- test. He § dogmatic, I should say, and never gave up an opinion when he had formed one without suffering a great deal of mental unhappiness. Indeed, a belief once formed with him became a vital part of his being, and he defended it with as much earnestness as he would have pro- tected his person. He told me once that he had never taken a case in which he did not believe in the right of his client, and I re- member an incident which will excellently illustrate this side of bis character. Many years ago a man named Lynn was killed end one Davis was charged with his mur- der. Judge Maulsby defended Davis. There was never such a legal battle waged on a lawyer's part to save a client from the rope. Davis was convicted in the criminal court, which was held in another county thi that in which the crime had been comm ted, Maulsby having secured a change of venue. An appeal was taken, but the court of appeals sustained the verdict. Then Judge Maulsby, confident of his client's in- necence, went to the legislature and actual- ly secured the passage of a measure direct- ing the court of appeals to entertain a mo- tion for a new trial for Davis. The man was convicted a second time. His un- wearied attorney turned his attention to the governor and pleaded, but in vain, for ex~ ecutive clemency. He was downhearted to a degree when he found the governor ob- durate, and swore an innocent man was be- ing sacrificed. On the day before the execu- tion Davis confessed to the killing of Lynn. Judge Maulsby wouldn't believe it, saying the published confession was a new per sensation, and telegraphed Davts, ask- ing if it was true that he had confessed. When an affirmative reply was received, the old lawyer could fi no words strong enough to characterize Davis for having Ned to him in asserting his innocence. When Lynn had been killed his body had been robbed of $750. Davis had given Judge Maulsby $800 to defend him. As soon as the lawyer received Davis’ affirmation of the confession, he took the money to the murdered man's widow and gave it to her, saying he was sure his client had taken it from his victim, and that he could not keep such blood money, Judge Maulsby was in- deed a remarkable man in many respects, and I reckon few lawyers like him are left.” “The cider presses are in operation all over the land just now,” said J, R. Wells of Richmond at the Ebbitt this morning, “and those people who aver that man Is the only animal who indulges to excess in intoxicants, and does it because he likes it, can have a fine.chance to change their minds by visiting a cider press, and seeing the way the wasps and yellow jackets get their skins full with malice prepense. 1 have noticed the insects I speak of as drunk as lords from the effects of indulg- ence in the drippings of a cider press, or the juice that remains in the pulp that ts thrown aside after being pressed out. The sugar in the juice, by exposure to the air, is converted into alcohol to a greater or less degree, ond a wasp ts in his glory when he comes across such tipple. Any man who makes cider and is at all observ- ant will tell you how wasps and yellow Jackets will fill up and then crawl for all the world like a toper with a jag on, to some convenient spot in the grass and keel right over into torpidity. This is no ghost story, but a natura! history fact. A good able-bodied wasp can get drunker than anything else that moves, and nothing suits him better than to do it.” “To persons brought up in God-fearing, Sabbath-observing New England, or in the east generally, the west is a source of a great shock upon first acquaintance,” said D. A. Buckner of Chicago at the Riggs House last night. “The idea of stores be- ing kept open on Sunday is awful enough to contemplate, but when the theaters boldly announce that the changes in their bills take place on Sunday night the east- erner wishes himself bec’ respect for holy things not been lost in the mad whirl that the world calls en- terprise. There is a movement on foot in Chicago just now that sounds impossible when described to New England ears. Sev- eral ministers and many laymen are try- ing to create a sentiment that will cause Chicago people to buy their meats and &roceries on other days than Sundays, sq that dealers in such necessities will be compelled to close on that day, and thus give their clerks and employes one day of rest in the seven. Think of such a cru- sade as that being started in Boston, for instance!” m4 “Commercial depression in the United States does rot seem to prevent Ereglish capitalists from eagerly seeking the op- portunity to invest in our enterprises,” said W. C. Hayward of St. Paul at the Arlington last night. “They gained con- trol of many of the largest breweries in the country several years ago, and a few days ago they made another capitalistic coup out In my pelghborhood, which will give them authority over a most important branch of trade and let them draw sub- stantial profits accordingly. Just as I left e the announcement was made that an syndicate had bought all the paper and pulp factories in the Fox river valley of Wisconsin for $10,000,000. Two estab- Uishments only were holding out, and they a did so to settle seme details before min coats tet ay pape wins abou y mi! and twenty pulp factories.
