Pall Mall Gazettce: Marringe is still 100 often a bargain, but at least it is no longer an entirely one sided burgain. 1t is tending toward the only true idei life-long companionship—a on equal terms, with equal give and take on both sides. Women no longer feel bound to render that implicit obedience which which was considere de rigueur in our great grandmother’s days, and men no longer universally demand it. Husbands, moreover, beginnim{ Yo learn that the prime is not to look after their wives. artnershi are The very sentence is indicative of the most hastly misapprehension of the whole fdeul of mntr\mony. ing of society condemns a man who lives to rule his wite on the same prin- The general feel- ciple as a pasha rules his harem. And indeed the whole scheme of modern life makes it practically impossible for him to do so. A married woman en- )fiyu ns o rule, complete liberty during '$ho lifelong duy, and even at night it is frequently impossible for a busy mun to escort his wife. Thus everything tur ©on the relations between the mar eouple. 1f a girl is really in love with the man she murries she may be trusted with any amount of subsequent free- dom. If not, not; and therefore we say that the injudicious and worldly parents who are respousible for the great ma- jority of ill-ussorted unions ure also re- sponsible for the many evil results which are to be seen in society at this day. For it is a fact that lots of English girls are as much forced into marringe as the French girl, whose husband is selected while she is yet in the convent. Not by main force, no—but by the whole tone of her education, by the exagger- ated fear of being an old maid, by the obvious neccunil.g of making way for a gor sister, by the persistent schem- of her parents, and by her own longing for emancipation. For marri- undoubtedly does meun emancipa- jen to most women; and it is precisely those who look forward to it most who are likely to make the worst use of it. Berry Wall's Marriage. New York Telegram: There wus a fMutter of excitement throughout the dominions of Dudedom this morning i | INCIDENTS OF THE ALTAR'Q]' Opposite Chamber of Commerce. Telephone 854. when it was noised about that the king, E. Berry Wall I, had_quietly slipped over to Washington and taken unto {;.m. self a consort. All but a few of the immediate court- iers of his majesty were in a state of mental collapsc from the shock. None of those intimate at court, how- ever,were much surprised at the unique manner King Berry had adopted to enter the bonds of matrimony. ‘“‘Berry is original if he is anything,” snid a callow youth, who was discussing the wedding witha party of friends at breakfast this morning at Delmonico’s. ‘*He was not going to follow any old, wornout custom. I always thought that when Berry made up his mind to marry he would do so without resorting to con- ventional and ancient methods. His schemes never bagged at the knees,you know!” “How was it done,” old chappie?” asked a well known swell who had joined the part, “Why, he had become smitten with a beauty over in Washington, named Miss Melbourne, and promptly proposed to her. Sheof course, zccepted him on the spot,and they decided forthwith to go over to‘'Baltimore and get married as once. They took the lovely creature’t mother along. “Arriving in Baltimore Berry took time to go and change his clothes for he could not think of getting married in the same suit that he had worn for an hour and a half, and then the bride, her mother and himseif got into a carriage and drove to the Baltimore club where Berry got an old chappie named N. Winslow Willinms, and then they had a beastly time trying to find the official who issues a marriage license. The low fellow was not at his office, but they finally found him and then they went to the house of a parson and there the knot was tied. Then th took the next train back to Washing- ton.” “Be gad, that's romantic,” said the swell who had just joined the purty. “Just like Berry, Ja boy.” “Mrs. Wall must be a’ lovely crea- ture,” remarked one of the party, “for Berry was very hard to please. Then, just think of all the lovely girls he could ave married at any time during the lust ten years.” ‘‘Wonder who she is?" asked another. “Of course she is an h 85" This lust question is just what every- body around the clubs “is asking. No one seems to know who the young lady is except that her father is employed in the war department at Washington and for that reason it is not thought that Mrs. Wall is overburdencd with wealth. The king of the dudes had not been seen about the New York club or his other favorite haunts for nearly ten days, and it was given out that he had gone to Washington, where he intends to pass the winter. In fact, he has spent the most of his time at the capital since he went there last October to at- tend the races. When he did come over here he was inclined to be very quiet, and several of his friends remarked the change in his manner. He was decidedly distrait and behaved in an a\lment-mhnfud away Major Melbourne, the king's new father-in-law, holds a humble position in the war department, which Twas se- cured for him by General Logan about seven years ago. Logan had known him in the Mexican war, and after- ward as a resident of Springfield, 11l After the Mexican war Melbourne set- tled in the south, and was in very com- fortable circumstances, but he lost everything by the war, and at one time e was cmployed us a reporter on a newspaper, but most of the time he de- suded upon his wife, who kept a board- ing house. Hovering on the Verge. St. Paul Globe: Young men, the large majority of you are hovering around on the verge of matrimony, shivering like a mouse-colored terrier OVER and afraid to step off. The great ma™ Jority of you know just where you can put your' finger on'a girl who would marry you at a moment’s notice, but you are afraid that you couldn’t satisfy the landlords, coal dealers and milliners that a man always weds when he mar- ries a woman. Youare not men! You are simply cowards, who see a prize hanging above your head and have not the moral courage to ascertain if your arm is long enough” and strong enough to pick it. My advice to you is, if you have got a job and you are earning fair wages to ;ie'. married and go to house- keeping if you have to begin with an oil stove, a candle and a bed lounge. This may seem to you a small beginning, and so it is; but, once married, the money that you now throw away in your endeavors to quiet your restiess ‘soul will go into furniture and little nick- nacks, and you will ‘soon wake up to the fact that you are the owner of a home, and that word means a great deal to a young fellow who has been swimming around in the ocean of life ever since he was big enough to shave himself, with his chin just above the water. Wedded a Native. London Cablegram to New York World: Stirling, sitting in chancery di- vision to-day, had before him a roman- tic mar e case, arising out of the death of Commander Bethell, who was shot by Boers in 1884 in an engagement in which Sir Charles Warran also took part. Commander Bethell,a few months efore his death, had become enamored of a native girl belonging to the Bara- long tribe. He married her according 10 the rites of the tribe, the ceremony consisting of the slaughter of an ox, the head of which was sent to the mother of the bride, while the father was provided with a plow. The name of the bride was Teepoo. g About ten days after the death of Commander Bethell she gave birth toa daughter, who was subsequently bap- tized under the name of Mebetelle, meaning the mother of Bethell. In support of these statements Montsion, African king, the chief of the Boralede cavalry, made affidavit to the effect that T was duly married to Commander Bethell, and that she was not before married. Commander Bethell, by his will, left a certain number of heifers to Teepoo, and directed that if the child were born it should be educated in England after it reached eight years of age, and if a boy he should enter the English army, but Teepoo'should for- feit her property if she behaved im properly. Commander Bethell left considerable property in Yorkshire,and the question before the court was as to whether the marringe was a legal one, and the daughter consequently legitimate and entitled to the property. Hastings, queen’s counsel, contended this was not a polygamous marriage, and was conse- quently valid, There may have been polygamy in the Baralong tribe, but Commander Bethell lived with Tee as his only wife, and had no intention of committing polygamy. A Pretty Wedding. Philadelphia North American: One of the prettiest weddings seen in Wash- ington for some time was that of Miss Kilbourne and Mr. Frank Gordon, son of ex-Senator Gordon, of Georgia,which took pluce on Thursday at noon_ at St. John's church. The rain came down in torrents, to be sure, and not even one little faint sunbeam came forth to greet the bride, but the church was so softly lighted and the chancel so completely filled with tall Ims, calla lilieg, and great bunches of holly, that. in a way, the contrast made it all the more charming, except, of course, for the unfortunate bride and brides- maids, who had to walk in their satin slippers over the damp mating laid from aid‘uwull: to the churchdoor, The chor- ister bops, with bunches of holly pinned on their white surplices, met the bridal party at the entrance and proceeded STOCK COATS them up the aisle, singing a wedding hymn, a pretty custom, by the way, but & little awkward for the ‘bride, who has to wait at the chancel rail after the cere- mony is over for fully five minutes un- til the choir gets in position to escort her out of the church. Episode ata Bachelors' Banquet. Savannah News: One of the most interesting episodes at the bachelors’ banquet at Gainsville last Thursday night was the receiptof a box sent in by one of Gainesville’s most cultivated and brilliant young ladies. It contained a sheet of white paper, on which were Fllwod the following articles: First, a handsomely embroidered crimson satin sachel conm(nin%n few matches, with the motto: ‘A better match than you bave made.” Next, the picture of an owl sitting on a holly bush; motto: ““You are alone in the world.” Lastly, a beautiful briarwood pipe, to the stem of which was tied an elegantly em- broidered tobacco pipe made of ‘mag- netia-colored satin; under these was written: “Bulwer has said ‘there is more solid comfort ina good pipe than in'a'good wife,’ and you all appear to agree with him.” When this was passed around for the inspection of the boys everyone pronounced it the best hit that had been given them. . Jealousy and Death. Erie, Pa., Special to the Globe-Demo- The grave closedito-day over the remains of the lovesiek swain, James Buuce, who senta ball crashing through his brain in a fit of insane jealousy. Brunce went to visit Miss Lillian Pete son, a country maiden on Brown hill, and upon whom he had been waiting for some time. A neighbor who hu regarded Miss Lydin with favor called in to spend the evening with the family. A quarrel arese between the lovers and Bunce left his inamorata and rushed from the house. He had harly cleared the doorstep when he drew o revolver and shot himself through the head. The young woman was the first to reach the young man, but he never spoke. She grew frantic and rushed shrieking into the house where she pro- cured a large knife. She made one cut at her throat and was in the act of re- l.mniug the operation when the strong hand of her other,admirer secured the weapon. Crazed by the terrible trag- edy, she has to be kept uuder constant surveillance. The shock was to much for her, and it is now feared that she will never recover her mind. The in- jury which she inflicted upon herself is not sufficient to disfigure her. Something Against Each. The man who would like to marry finally became a bachelor because he found— The pretty girls so demure. The clever ones so alarming. The talkative ones so tiresome. The merry ones make such game of a fellow. The sentimental ones are so spoony. The horsey ones are 0 outrageous. The nautical ones are so inconsider- ate, The little ones are so little. The large ones are so very large. Marry Young. Novelist Mary J. Holmes: It is, I think, an erroneous idea thatearly mar- ringes are a hindrance rather than a help to the success in life and the men- tal development and happiness of the parties. ‘T'hat this is sometimes the case is true, but I believe that more young men, and girls too, have been saved from ruin and wretchedness by an early marriage than have been ruined by it. There is something inspiriting and ennobling in the possession of a home and a family to work for and beautify, and if the girl and boy are poor-1 should still say marry young, and work together for the home and the competence, which will be all the more enjoyable because they ave the result of toil and self-denial.

An Epidemic of Marriage. New York Sun: They say the devil laughs every time he hears wedding bells. He must be on the broad grin nowadays. At some of the fashionable churches in New York it is hardly nec- essary to take down the awnings or take up the carpets leading from the portals to the curbstone, from Monday morning to Saturday night; and one parson is rumored to have married so many couples that, when a baptismal party confronted him, he asked, ‘ What name?” “*‘Susan Ann,” replied the godfather. “Suran Ann, do you take this man for your lawfully wedded husband, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, through sickuess and i 'For mercy’s sake, don’t marry me to the baby.” whispered the godfuther. Thus immght with a round turn, the good minister stopped in time, and christened Susan Ann instead of marry- ing her at the unusual age of three months. The marriage tees of some clergymen must have amounted to more than their salaries last month. There is hardly any service u man 8o willingly pays out his money for, unless it be for a divorce some yeurs later. The pastor of a wealthy church wedded a rich man re- cently to a very beautiful girl, who had been an intimate friend for years of the parson’s wife. She starled from the church door on a trip to Europe, and us the minister shook congratulatingly the hand of the new groom he felt a hard substance slipped into his own. It turned out to be a handsome. locket pendant, with the bride’s initials and those of the pastor’s wife done in diamonds. ““T'll put your picture in it at once,” said the pleased lady: “it is the first wedding fee that has come to me.” So she posted off to a photographer and ordered areduced head of her hus- band. She had hardly got home when a messenger informed her that folded and refolded and jammed in_behind the glass, they had found a hundred dollar bill. The Rev. Mr, and Mrs. Psalter Service are awaiting a letter from the other side to know to whom the money belongs, as the Mrs. Rev. Dr. S. vows it goes with the locket, and the locket be- longs to her. . The American Girl. The American girl is thus pictured by John Habberton, in a new nove **She was the oldest child, so she had her own way; she was pretty, so she had always been petted, She was twenty, 80 she knew everything that she thought worth knowing. - She had long before reconstructed the world (in her own mind) just as it should be, from the standpoint that it ought to exist solely for her benefit. Not bad tempered, on the contra heerful and full of high spirits, she was, nevertheless in perpet- ual protest against everything that was not exactly as she would have it, and not all the manners that careful breeding could impart could restrain the uncon- scious insolence peculiar to young and self-gatistied natures.” Pattl, it is said, is losing_ground in Paris, one of her greatest strongholds in former times, as fastas she has been here. The an- nouncement that she was going to sing_in a benefit performance for the sufferers of the Opera Comique fire, caused little or no inter- est.
