As to the point in the law, obscure as somo term it, he was yet undecided as to which horn of the i lemma the supreme court might decide the one to follow, but inasmuch as the que had been raised and agitated, he was perfectly willing to change the mode of procedure heretofore in vogue in the office of the state anditor, and hence stion the letter to the insuranee companics, It will be remembered that the plan fol- lowed heretofore was for the auditor to reccive the fees himself and semi-annu ally turn them over in buneh to the treasurer.

The preacher demanded a bill of particulars. He was told in an abrubt way that he must pray for the president, and, to the astonishment of the mulitia,he promptly declared his willingness ' to comply withthe order. On the following Sunday morning his church was erowded with militinmen and confederate sympa- thizers, each filled with half-concealed anxicty for the day's results. It was a hot une. Outside the church the horses neighed and whinnied. Over the square wooden pulpit the hot breezes toyed with the leaves of a hymn book which had been or(-uml at the ancient tune of “Mear.”” In the amen corner sat the oflicers of the militia. In the opposite corner were the deacons of the congrega- tion, The white-haired preacher was hidden from v behind the pulpit longer thun usual that morning, but at last the services began and a breathless hush fell “YO" the 'mblage as it sol- emnly knelt for the prayer on which the fate of the congregation was hanging. “O Lord,” said the preacher, breaking the painful silence which nad followed his introductory of thanks. *Bless this waiting congregation.

O Lordin n speeinl manner we pray Thy richest blessings upon the presi- dent!” “Amen!” said the kneeling militia of- ficers, nudging each other violently, while great avops of prespiration stood upon the foreheuds of the deacons.

Sald to Have Gone Their roliing lly done in Gone to Kurope to Marry Miss Edith Kingdon. A report that George Gould, the eldest son of Jay Gould, has gone to London to wed Miss Edith Kingdon, an _actress in the Daly company, excites a wider range of interest than would be the e if_the thing concernced any other man in New York. That is because the world of fashion, the world of finance and the world of theatricals are all perturbed by the rumor, The certaintics of the matter may quickly stated. Mr. Gould and Miss Kingdon were for six months indubitably sentimental companions. They were to be seen on horseback together in Central Park nearly eyvery pleasant morning. Chey frequently lanched at modish res- taurants in the afternoons. Whenever she was unemployed on the stage in the evening they usnaily went to some public place of amusement, and especially the opera. Several times they sat in Jay Gould's proprietary box at'the Metropol itan opera house, though never when others of the Gould family were there. When she was on dramatic duty his cab frequently waited for her at the stage door and a late supper prefaced her te tirement to her room. Miss Kingdon de- lared that she was betrothed to George Gould and to her fellow-actors showed a ring which she said was a pledge of the engagement. Atone time the distinetion seemed to threaten to d her useful ness in Daly’s company, and the mar had to put ner under rigid dise is was the more nceessary becanse she 5 then enacting.n role so el the newspaver ¢ ising he orge's attentions were so strong enduring--for she' was not the first pretty actress to whom he had paid court—that tne story of a forthcoming marriage gained belief, the mare so as he would not deny it.

Intense compe lowered the cable tavift temporarily, Gould's cash allowance from his ris said to be twenty-five thousand but it is improbable that the cou- would have exchanged daily tele- arams of a thousand words each had not George held a deadhead frank. These cabled love letters, if such they were, are of course inviolate. [he intimation is that they were written in cipher anyhow. Tlns lasted until the sudden anunounce- ment that George had started for Lot don. He said that urgent business connected with Western Union securities held abroad made an unexpeeted and impera- tive errand for him. He sailed in the Btruria, alone with Hen Ward Beccher, and should arrive in Liverpool to-day, in time to meet Miss Kingdon for Sunday. News of his marriage, however, is not expected by those who know him best. Mrs. Kingdon is just about a quarter of a century old. She is a decided bru- nette, with handsome fea of rather an aggressive expression wit and vivacity are remarkable. She came from Boston, where she was an elocutionist before making her debut, four years ago, t the Boston theatre.
