There was an interesting family-story-paper climax to the romance of Ethel Stanton, of Brooklyn, whose elopement with her lover, Will Rivers, is reported in this morning's news. Ethel’s preferred lover was a plumber, on whose attentions her parents frowned, while favoring the suit of Matt Smith, a broker. After repeated fruitless attempts to end the daughter's {nfatuation with Rivers, a maternal ultimatum was delivered, couched in these words: “Ethel, if you go out to-night to meet Will Rivers you need | never come back.” Being a girl of spirit, Ethel went with the man of her choice and has not returned, while the mother mourng to slow music, with hate in her heart for the plumber. It has been a busy season everywhore for Cupid. One day's despatches reported the marriage in Goshen, N. Y., of Willlam Sloat, weventy-soven, and Elizabeth Vanderhoff, twenty-three; the wedding at Cutchogue, Ls I, of Lester Anderson, twenty-two, and his school teacher, Mary T. Benedict, twonty-seven, and in an Indiana village the capturo by a hotel chambermald of the local magnate’s son, the catch of the town. These are the strikingly romantic features of a long list of more prosaic love affairs which, by thelr ) culmination in marriage, made the holiday season more Interesting than usual matrimontally. These matches were all made against the advice and consent of family genates. The young people showed themselves as headstrong as Mr. Sloat in having their own ways about realizing what they consider thelr supreme happiness. If they find that they have made a mistake they will have only themselves to blume. but {t sometimes happens that reckless young people blunder into a better match than the choice of their elders would make for -them. actually refuse burial services to women.” in women’s rites mong some savage trl They evidently don’t betley “CARELESSNESS” IN COLER'S OFFICE As a result of the testimony before the Bureau of Assessments and . the allegation isn that the defalcations of Ohipp and ard ylor were made possible by the lax system which Col. among his Among the Incidental evidences of carelessness and Incompetency in the management of the details of Mr. Coler's department, it was brought out by the testimony of Deputy Collector Slattery that the official records were scattered around in confusion, That some of these valu- able records were found on the floor, That none of the books containing the only record of large amounts due the elty was ever locked up at night These revelations would be regurded as sufficiently startling tn an old- style Tammany administration of office where “everything went.” opments of what has been going on in the department of the crack financial man of the Van Wyck regime they make exceedingly strange reading. flon tolerated clerks.

If {t means the ten miltons originally offered for a national univer- sity at Washington, a gift rather captlously considered by the Governmont, or a duplicate of that vast donation, ft will be worthily bestowed on one of the most deserving seats of learning In the land.
