A TlteosophIcal Weddin : .
WASJIINOTOY , Jan. 31.-An extraordinary -
, - ordinary ceremony was performed here
. . last night. Theosophy was the me-
diuin which joined in the bonds of
' fl' matrimony a "new woman" and a
"new man. " Adelaide Johnson , the
+ ' ' : sculptor , whose portrait busts of Eliz-
abetlt Cady Stanton , Lucretia Mott ,
Susan B. Anthony and Dr. Caroline
Winslow occupied a central position
: in the Woman's building at the world's
fair , was the heroine of the novel af-
fair. Miss Johnson invited twenty
: friends to a "white evening" at her
f- home. No hint was given of the nature -
ture of the occasion. The guests ,
' inehmding Mrs. Richardson Qf
Boston , Susan B. Anthony , Clara
11 Colby and r Colonel Charles ,
arrayed themselves in white , as
i . requester ] , and arrived promptly at the
appointed hour. They found the
drawing room draped in snowy cheese
cloth , while curtains hid the windows
an(1 doorways. White silk cushioned
'thc chairs and covered the tables , on
Which crystal bowls of calla lilies
were placed. A bust of General Loan -
' an , on a pedestal in ore corner , gazed "
sternly on the marble likeness of Lu-
- . cretin Mott with Quaker cap and folded -
ed handkerchief.
The suspicion of time gusts was first
aroused by the sight of a white satin
ribbon which enclosed a sort of than-
. cel containing a sofa upholstered in
. white and made comfortable by a half
dozen white ruffled pillows.
Curiosity mutts bra at rest at 9 o'clock
by the announcement that the wedding -
ding of Adelaide Johnson to Ale : ander
Frederick Johnson was about to take
place. Cora L. V. Richmond , the
spiritualist , passed behind the ribbon °
attended by the groom who wore a
suit of white broadcloth and a white
silk tie. Mrs. John Vance Cliene' ,
wife of the poet , entered immediately
after and read a poem on "Music , " the
last stanza of which was accompanied
by the strains of Lohengrin's wedding
chorus , played softly by Susan Old-
berg. The bride soon appeared ,
gowned in white tulle heavily embroidered -
broidered with pearls and made over.
I white satin. She was escorted
-
by her brother , t harles G. Johnson ,
of Chicago. , Cora L. V. Richmond
performed the marriage ceremony ,
"under inspiration. " A week ago the
. groom , by power of law , changed his
name of Alexander Frederick Jenkins

his talented wife should not forfeit
the name by which she is known to the
world. He is a slight young fellow ,
not 20 years old yet , light .hair and
penetrating dark eyes. He was born

MITCHELL OPPOSES B0111DS
.
Ue Sces No Need to Increase the Present -
ent Indebtedness.
WASnISGToti , Jan. 31. - Senator
Mitchell of Oregon addressed theSen-
ate on the silver substitute for the
bond bill this afternoon. He opposes
the proposed issue of bonds and favors
the substitute measure.
Ho asserted that the purchasing
power of silver in all silver using
countries was as great to-day as ever
before and that goods were prepared
for market those countries at just
one-half what it costs to produce the
same article in the trold standard , gold
using countries , and sold without
trenching on profits , for just one half
the price in gold they would have been
compelled to sell for if biinetallisln
had been maintained , and time destruction -
tion of the parity value between the
two moneys had been brought out by
silver demonetization.
Regarding the bond bill as it came
from the House , Senator Mitchell
said : "I decline to give further authority -
thority to the Secretary of the Treasury -
ury to.issue additional bonds in time
of peace , first , because I deny the
necessity for any suchm additional issue -
sue ; second , because I am opposed to a
further increase of our interest
bearing public debt : third , because -
cause in encouraging additional
bond issues at any rate of interest , I
believe we are hastening the rapid approach -
preach of national bankruptcy ; and
fourth , because I am a Republican
and every Republican State convention -
tion which has convened in the last
year has condemned in emphatic
terms the present administration for
issuing bonds and thus increasing the
jmational indebtedness.
' I am unwilling under any plea of
necessity to aid the party to which I
belong in doing that which as a party
it has most emphatically condemned in
others. "
The resolu ion directing the secretary -
tary of agri lture to execute the law
relative to seed distribution was then
taken up and Mr. George of Mississippi -
sippi spoke in defense of the course of
the secretary.

by a Complication of Aiimcnts.
INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , Jan. 31.-Will-
iam IL English is lying dangerously ill
at his rooms in the English hotel. A
week ago Mr. English experienced an
attack of the grip which resulted in
congestion of the mucous membrane
of the air passages. This had become'
much better when inflammatory rheumatism -
matism set in.
Mr.sEnglish's physician reports his
patient's temperature very high and
these complications , considering his
time of life , are sufficient to make his
condition serious.

candidate on the Democratic ticket {
with Winfield Scott Hancock , wlho
ran for the presitlenev in iRSO.

and has sustained serious wounds that
may result in fatal complications.
Time wound on his head will slough
away and may cause erysipelas. Both
of his eyes are closed tight and he '
suffers much pain. His.recovery will
rely upon the healing of the wound in
his head. He ms internally injured
also. 1 believe I can bring him around
but it will be a scratch. "

VOORHEES' FOR SILVER.
rite Indiana Senator Scores the Gold
Standard Policy.
WASIIINGT0N , Jan. 30.-At o'clock
the silver bond bill was tnk n up and ,
after some skirmishing between Hill
and Chandler and Jones of Arkansas ,
in a vain effort of the last , named to
have Thursday at : . ' p. m. fixed for a
vote , fir. Jones said : 'Then I give
notice that on Thursday I will ask the
Senate to remain in session until. this
bill is disposed of. and I ask all Senators -
tors to coine.prepared on Thursday for
such action. "
Mr. Voorhees , Democrat , of Indiana ,
rose for a "short talk , " he said. lie
has seldom spoken of late and received
close attention. Ile said the country
was now in the midst of a revolution
brought on by those plotting against
silver. It was this class mvliich brought
on panics , destroying the rarity of time
metals. The men who demonetized
silver in 1873 were , said Mr. Voorhees ,
"revolutionists. " They sought to
overcome time constitution , the laws
and time policy of a century After
tracing the constant mtse of silver since
the government began , the senator
declared that the token of "sound
money" applied to gold money was a
fraud. Silver was as much sound
money as gold. It would efectually
stop the raids on time sold reserve if
the demands on time treasury were
met by silver payments as well as
gold.

WAS IT A DECOY ?
Report That Official Attention Was Par
posely Drawn to the J. W. Ilawkins.
WASHINGTON , Jan. : .0.-Reports received -
ceived here seem to fully conlirln the
r portof the sinking Monday of the
steamer J. W. Hawkins , which left
New Yorlc Sunday night with a Cuban
filibustering expedition of 100 men
and ammunition on board.
There is a curious rumor afloat here
to time effect that the true story has I
not yet been told as to the alleged
wreck of the steamer Hawkins , which
had just set out to carry a load of men
and ammunition to Cuba.
Some people close to the revolutionists -
ists the whole is " "
say thing a "decoy ,
and that time Spanish minister and the
United States authorities have been
cleverly fooled. For some reason that
cannot-be definitely traced , there is a
belief that time arms supposed to be on
the Hatvlcins were either translmipped
at sea or else were sent out secretly in
some other vessel , and suspicion intentionally -
tionally directed against the Hawkins
for the purpose of throwing the Span-
Islm spies and the United States revenue -
nue authorities off the track.
Naglo Will Be Sustained.
Jan. 30.-The Attorney
W ASIIINGTON , . - -
ney General and the President are
alike firm in their purpose not to withh
draw the nomination of Patrick Nagle
to be marshal of Oklahoma. The flood
of telegraphic charges against his
character passes them by absolutely
without result.

BEAR Thy voice ,
dear Lord ,
I hear It by the
stormy sea ,
When winter
J
nights are
black and wild ,
' when , affright ,
' I call to Thee , '
It calms my fears
and whispers
me ,
"Sleep well , my child. "
I hear Thy voice , dear Lord'
In singing winds and falling snow ,
The curfew chimes , the midnight
bell ,
"Sleep well , my child , " it murmurs low ;
"The guardian angels come and goo -
o child , sleep well ! "
Speak on-speak on , dear Lord !
And when the last dread Bight is near ,
With doubts and fears and terrors
wild ,
Oh , let my soul expiring hear
Only these words of heavenly cheer ,
"Sleep well , my child ! "
-Eugene F1eU.
i A Father's Daring Feat.
A curious lion story which recently
appeared in an English journal runs as
fellows :
An English missionary in Africa was
sitting in his tent door when he saw a
party of natives approaching. They
were bringing to him a boy , whose head
was covered withm a piece of calico , an
removing which the missionary saw
two deep furrows , one on each side of
the scalp. The wound had been made
b a lion a few evenings before. The
boy had been brought to the Englishman -
man for treatment , and while he did
what lie could for the sufferer , the men
related time following tale :
The party were on their way to the
coast , and at night had made fires and
lain down to sleep. Suddenly they were
awakened by the deep growls of a lion.
It had leaped among them ; and had
already seized a boy , whose screax s
mingled with the horrid growls of his
captor.
The men ran this way and that in
their terror , each thinking of his own
safety.
Not so the boy's father. He was big
an(1 strong , and besides , it was his
child who was screaming. He had no
time to snatch up so much as a spear ,
but went straight at the lion , and
: truck it again and again , full in its
face with his clenched fist , all the while
uttering fierce cries of anger.
Time lion was cowed , it relinquished
its hold of the boy , and sprang away
into the darkness , leaving the father
with his bleeding son in hin arms. The
scattered company came together again ,
replenished the fires , and took care of
the lad's wounds as best they could.
Then they brought him to the missionary -
ary , who carefully washed his wounds
with carbolic acid and water and
bound them up.
The patient was doing well when the
missionary last saw him , more than a
week after.
What One Boy Knew.
The teacher of the Sunday school
class was telling the little boys about
temptation and showing how it sometimes -
times came in the most attractive at-
tire. She used as an illustration the
paw of a cat.
"Now , " said she , "you have all seen
the paw of a cat. It is as soft as velvet ,
isn't it ? "
"Yesem , " from the class.
"And you have seen the paw of a
dog ? "
"Yesem. "
"Well , although the cat's paw seems
like velvet , there is nevertheless concealed -
cealed in it something that hurts. What
is it ? "
No answer.
"The dog bites , " said the teacher ,
"when lie is in anger ; but what does
the cat do : "
"Scratches , " replied the boy.
"Correct , " said the teacher , nodding
her head approvingly. "Now , what has
the cat got that the dog hasn't ? "
"Whjslteis ! " said the boy on the
back seat. And the titter that ran
around time class brought the lesson to
an end.
The Devil's Name.
The Christian Scotchman tells the re-
tult of a "word fitly spoken" as follows :
One of the most earnest of modern
Gaelic poets , Dugald Buchanan , was
first led to think of serious subjects by
a cleverly turned phrase , uttered half
in jest.
' 'What is your profession ? " a pious
highlander inquired of him.
"As to that , " replied Buchanan , "I
have none in particular. My mind
is very much like a sheet of white
paper. "
"Then take care that the devil does
not write his name upon it , " said the
other. The remark was the one touch
needed to turn the poet to more serious
thoughts and a more earnest way of life.

Now Game for Bor3 and Girls.
A new progressive game which will
make a long winter's evening enjoyable
for a company of boys and girls is described -
scribed by the Ladies' Home Journal.
It may be called progressive snap , because -
cause the boy or girl who hopes to win
must snap out his words without a see-
ond's loss of time.
The requirements for the game are a
box of the ordinary "anagram" cardboard -
board letters , such as may be obtained
J
at the toy stare for 25 cents , and tally i
cards , one for each person , the arrangements - #
ments of which is left to the discretion
of the hostess. A small heap of these
letters is placed in the center of each
table , all turned carefullyy face downward -
ward , '
Two couple play at each table , thef f
opposite partners joining forces and
counting their joint gains at each pro-
gression.
Before the bell rings as a signal to
play the hostess goes to each table and
assigns to the players there a class of.
names , so that each table has a different -
ent class. For instance , to the head'
table may be given "names of cities , i
to the others , respectively , "men's ,
names , " "animals , " "things to eat ,
"noted writers , " 'names of books , " etc.
When a name has been assigned to
each table the hostess rings her bell
and immediately the first lady at each
table draws and turns over a letter so
that all four players may see It simul-
taneously. The first one of the four
to name an object of the assigned class '
beginning with that letter wins the
letter and places it to one side as his
first gain. Then the next player turns {
up a letter , and so on in turn for the
three minutes allowed at each table.
When the bell calls a halt the partners -
ners at each table count together' the
letters they ' have captured , and the two
having greater number progress to the
next table , or if at the head table remain -
main there , while the other two "go
to time foot , as in progressive euchre.
At the next table the letters are turned
over on their faces once more , the class
of objects to be nanied changed , andd
on the ringing of the bell the play is
continued as before. So the game goes
an for as long as may be desired , when
prizes are awarded to the lady and gentleman -
tleman whose tally cards show the
greatest number of progressions. The
class of objects must be changed each
time and should be varied as much as ;
possible. There may be names of flow-
crs , fruit , colors , birds fishes , heroes ,
articles of clothing , of drink , countries ,
rivers and all time geographical dl'i- f
sions , magazines , colleges and Bible
personages.
The tally cards far this game , of
course , be made very attractive and
amusing , and so may the prizes. At
one party which I attended were tiny
silver pencils shaped like matches , having -
ing enameled ends and accompanied
by cards on which was written : "You
have won the match.
The booby prizes were cheap linen
alphabet book-a gentle hint of the
studying of the dictionary.
To have a Sweet Breath.
Don't expect to have clean teeth or a
sweet breath while there is a tinge of
white on the tongue. It is an unmistakable -
takable evidence of indigestion. Drink
sour lemonade , eat ripe fruit and green
vegetables for purgatives ; exercise
freely ; use plenty of water internally
and externally , and keep up the treatment -
ment until time mouth is clean , healthy
and red. Various things are suggested -
ed to counteract an unpleasant breath ,
L
resulting from a bad tooth , or garlic-
scented dishes. Cinnamon , mint ,
creams , orris root , cloves , mastic-resin
and spruce gum will disguise some
odors. Ten drops of tineturo of myrrh
in a glass of water will sweeten and refresh -
fresh the mouth ; a teaspoonful of
spirits of camphor or peppermint in the
same gargle is among the best antiseptics -
tics , and a few drops of myrrh and
camphor in the water are recommended
in case of cold , throat trouble or any
slight indisposition which may affect
the breath.
Eables Born in the White house.
Little Esther Cleveland is the sixth
child born in the White House. The
lives of the first four who began existence -
ence there have been marked by most
trying vicissitudes. The first child is
Mrs. Wilcox , a gray-haired lady of six-
ty-five , who is now a clerk in the treasury -
ury department ; she is a daughter of
Mrs. Andrew Jackson Donaldson , a
niece of President Jackson , who during
the first years of his presidency presided -
sided over the rhite House. A brother
and sister of Mrs. Wilcox , also born
in the White House , died in infancy.
The fourth White House baby was
Richard Tyler Jones , a grandson of
President Tyler , who died decently in
Washington in poverty ; and the fifth
was Col. Fred Grant's daughter , Julia
Dent Grant , a lovely girl , whose life
has been most happy and for whom the
future holds brilliant promise.
Strength and wealcuess.
According to experiments with the
dynamometer , a man is precisely at his
weakest when he turns out of bed. Our
muscular force is greatly increased by
breakfast , but it attains to its highest
point after the mid-day meal. It then
sinks for a few hours , rises again towards -
wards evening , but steadily declines
from night to morning. The chief foes
of muscular force are overwork and
idleness. Many of the great workers
of the world , though not all , have been
early risers. But early rising ought always -
ways to be supplemented by early
breakfasting.
Greatest of All.
A story is current in the Orient of a
wise old sheik who gave to a young !
Arab prince , from whom he was about 1
to part , a list of crimes , and bade him
choose the one which seemed least
harmful. The young prince turned in
horror from murder , theft and similar
evils , and toid the patriarch that he I
would choose "intemperance. " ;
"You have chosen , said the wise old I
man , "that which will bring you all.
The fact changes not with age. !
