The marriage under the trees at

Bertha C. Perry and Pierre Lorlllard
Ronalds, Jr., attracted much attention
from Its apparent newness. Many
years ago, in Central Park, Henry

happy.

Have women a sense of humor? Dur
ing the meetings of the American and
British temperance women in London
our friend Lady Henry Somerset, who
was to have presided on one occasion,
was absent, owing to illness produced
by overwork. Mrs. Ormiston Chant, in
taking her place, said: ‘‘Dear Lady
Henry has been overworked, and we
must, of course, be careful not to kill
the goose that lays the golden eggs.”
A New York exchange remarks the
advancement of the new woman. One
of Its reporters testifies that he saw a
specimen of the genus new woman de
scend from an elevated railway depot
and pause at the curbstone. She there
seized her nose between the thumb and
forefinger, in one time and two mo
tions, and blew taps with a resonance
that would have made the performer
the envy of the Bowery. From this it
Is manifest that the new woman is
under strict surveillance in New York.
Mrs. Leland Stanford will dispose of
her collection of Jewels, valued at over
1500,000. Among the jewels is the fam
ous Empress Eugenie diamond neck
lace, for which Mrs. Stanford paid a
fabulous price. Mrs. Stanford's action
Is her desire to make the Stanford uni
versity a success. The litigation' with
the government over the .Stanford
estate has tied up the income, and
funds are badly needed to maintain the
university. In order to raise the ne
cessary money Mrs. Stanford will sac
rifice her jewels. .
Brldgehamptiou, L. I., Is not to be en
vied. A meeting held to erect a monu
ment to the soldiers and sailors of the
town broke up without effecting the ob
ject. There were some present who
opposed including the soldiers and sail
ors of the Revolution, but in favor of
honoring those of the Mexican and the
late war between the states. The Tory
feeling is not Creditable to any Ameri
can. But it has survived in some quar
ters the hundred years and more of
American freedom. Among our fash
ionables there are descendants of Tories
who still ape everything English, you
know.
Since Bishop Fallows' success In
changing saloons Into temperance re
sorts In Chicago an enterprise some
what similar has been undertaken in
Buffalo. The famous "Gold Dollar
Saloon,” with Its gorgeous fitting, its
bar Inlaid with $50 gold pieces and Its
floor studded with $20 gold coius, has
now been transformed Into a home for
temperance advocates, and Is owned by
a stock company of ministers and busi
ness men. The former proprietor of
‘ the establishment has also been re
tained, at his own desire, and now dis
penses harmless beverages instead of
• ruinous liquors. Twelve hundred In
candescent lamps illuminate the In
terior, and Its walls are hung with
works of art.

In the address at the commencement
exercises of the New York Trade school
ex-Mayor Hewitt said: “If you ask
whether it is right of the workmen to
associate together for the general wel
fare, and to increase the rate of labor,
then I say yes. It Is not only their
right but their duty. But It is when
the trades-union steps between the pale
of the law, and assumes the right to
compel or prevent labor, that It violates
the fundamental principle of human
liberty and Christianity. So also has
the employer the ric'it to combine with
others, but when he oversteps the law
then he has violated the principles
upon which the constitution rests. But
I seen the dawn of harmony between
the employer and the employe. When
that time comes questions will be dis
cussed and considered by honest men.
The workman will no£ be deprived of
bis Individual liberty. These late dis
turbances are among the last, and the
time is at hand when there will be
absolute equality to every man who
breathes beneath the flag of the union.

The Nebraska Reunion.
Hastings is making extensive prepar
ations for the reunion which takes
place there on the 2Cth, 27th, 28th,
29th, 30th and 31st of August. It is
argued that big crops in Nebraska,
Kansas and Iowa will be the signal for
a big crowd, and so Hastings is going
to work to prepare for their entertain
ment. You are invited to lay aside
your business and come and hitch up
and join the procession. In the lan
guage of a circular issued to all man
kind, “A weeks recreation will make a
new man of you. Your neighbors will
all be there and they will want to see
you. There will be balloon ascensions
every day and fireworks on three even
inga There will be four big reunions
all held at the same time. The Ne
braska G. A. R.; the Kansas-Nebraska
Interstate G. A. R. reunion; the Ne
braska Band Union reunion and the
Nebraska National Guards Encamp
ment. There will be free wood, free
hay, free straw and no limit to the sup
ply of good pure, fresh water, and
Hastings will have food on hand to feed
75,000 people three times a day, if that
many apply. Enjoy the fun and the
freedom which the boys won by their
valor on the field of battle.
The Russian Thistle I.aw.
The question of enforcing the provis
ions of the Russian thistle law in west
ern counties, says a Sidney dispatch, is
fast becoming one of considerable im
portance. There are many hundred
thousand acres of vacant government
land and educational lands in these
western counties and as the Russian
thistle law makes no provision for the
destruction of the thistles on such lands,
there seems no way to meet the emer
gency of the case. Several of the west
ern counties have practically abandon
ed the destruction of this pest and there
seems to be no way out of the difficulty
unless the general government comes
to the rescue. The literal compliance
with the provisions of the law means
bankruptcy to all the western counties.

agency, are in the city tonight enroute

Harry Martin and Little Hawk, two
Indians charged with stealing cattle on
the reservation. Another Indian is
implicated, but evaded the officers.
Martin and the escaped suspect belong
on the Tongue River reservation in
Wyoming and were on the Pine Ridge
reservation without leave from their
agent. Little Hawk is a special police
man under Captain Penny and is evi
dently much disturbed over the loss of
his star and authority. The prisoners

Institute for the Blind by the board of
trustees, under authority of what is
known as the enactment of February
19, 1873. That he is in peaceful and law
ful possession of the buildings and

GUNBOATS ARE MOVING,
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT RECEIVES
ADVICES FROM CHINA.
DETROIT COES TO CHE FOO.
That Place Is Farther From the Scene
of the Rlote Than Shanghai, Wash
ington Officials Believe That the
Attacks on American Mission- ,
arles Are Ended—Infor
mation Called For.
Washington, Aug. 18.—A telegram
was received at the navy department
to-day announcing that Commander
Newell had sailed with the Detroit
from Shanghai to Che Foo. This latter
port is further fiom the scene of the
riots than Shanghai, and the navy offi
cials take this as indicating that the
United States authorities in China do
not fear further outbreaks, especially
in the reg'on near Shanghai.
_ Upon receipt of the telegram, As
sistant Secretary McAdoo telegraphed
to Admiral Carpenter, advising him
that there was a great deal of appre
hension here that American citizens in
China might lose their lives and prop
erty, and telling him that every pos
sible effort should be made to protect
American citizens. Ue also asked the
admiral to cable him at once the real
situation, and whether there was dan
ger of further disturbances. Admiral
Carpenter,with the flagship Baltimore,
is at Nagasaki, Japan, which is about
400 miles from Shanghai across the
Japan sea, but there is no doubt that
he is well informed as to the situation.
rM/\ i uHAL UAb Ur AMERICA,
The Supply Found In Many Sections, but
Steadily Decreasing In Amount.
Washington, Aug. 12.—The natural
gas industry is fully reviewed in the
annual report of the geological survey.
The most important gas fields now are
those of Western Pennsylvania, West
ern New York, Northwestern Ohio and
Central Indiana,but gas has been found
in commercial quantities also in Arkan
sas, California, Illinois, Kansas, Ken
tucky, Louisiana, Missouri, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
The highest actually observed pres
sure has been about §00 pounds to the
square inch, closed pressure. In all
districts the pressure has increased
steadily and materially. Heretofore
natural gas could be easily carried in
pipes for long distances under its own
pressure, but now in most places arti
ficial means must be used to drive it to
the place where it is needed. No
statement of the amount of natural
gas consumed has ever been given and
the report says it is not possible to
make one. The amount -lias been
greatly reduced within the last few
years by the cutting off of the enor
mous waste that existed, while im
proved appliances have doubled the
efficiency of what is used. The total
value of that consumed in la94 was
nearly $14,000,000. This is a steady
decrease from 1888, when the value
was $22,500,000.
Missouri Chautauqua Flans for 1800.
8f.dai.ia, Mo., Aug 12.—The di
rectors of the Missouri State Chautau
qua assembly have decided that Au
gust 1 should be the date for opening

will be much more elaborate than ever
I before. The board of directors has
decided to begin at once the publica
tion of a quarterly paper, to be known
as the Chautauqua Herald, of which
Prof. G. V. Buchannan, superintend
ent of the public schools, will be
editor. The deficit of the last assem
bly was only $100.
A Populist Organ for Topeka.
Topeka, Kan., Aug. 12.—It is an
nounced that local Populists will next

TRADE UNUSUALLY DRISK.
Business Continues Active Without ■
Sign of Reaction.
New York, Aug. 12.—E. G. Dun &
Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Business continues unusually active
for midsummer, .and, though there is
no perceptible relaxation, there are no
signs of reaction. The one change of
great importance which the past week
has brought is eminently helpful—the
amicable settlement between coal
miners and employers in Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. It
is said that about 100,000 men will have
their wages increased after October i
by this adjustment, and, while the en
largement of purchasing power is of
consequence, it 6eems even more im
portant that a chronic cause of con
troversy has been removed by the new
agreement as to company stores.
There is no important change in crop
prospects, and at this time no news is
eminently good news.
Speculation has been more success
ful in cotton than in any other pro
duct during the past week, and has
lifted the price an eighth. Wheat has
declined a fraction, with very scanty
transactions, the extremely small
western receipts influencing the mar
ket for the present more than the re
stricted exports. The concerted with
holding of wheat by western farmers,
if continued, will doubtless affect the
price in the end, but it has
already stopped Atlantic ex
ports almost entirely, the amount,
flour included,having been only 753,330
bushels for the past week, against
2,986,436 bushels for the same week
last year, and when foreign markets'
have supplied their needs frpm other
quarters, the Western farmers may
find reason to regret that they did not
ship their wheat at the original time.
Corn tends to lower prices, with more
encouraging prospects, and the ex
pectation of a heavy corn crop affects
prices of provisions, as might be ex
pected.
Sales, of wool are not as much in
flated by speculation as they were dur
ing the first half of July, but they still
Considerably exceed the actual con
sumption in the manufacture, amount
ing at the three chief markets to
6,259,300 pounds. Prices are very firm.
Some staple cotton goods have again
advanced in price, and the market is
unusually strong for the season.
OLNEY FOR THE BENCH.
Said to be Cleveland's First Choice to
Succeed Jackson.
Washington, Aug. 12.—There is
much speculation as to who will be
President Cleveland’s choice far the
United States supreme court bench to
succeed the late Justice Jackson, but
beyond the mention of available names
there is little of a definite nature this
sarly.
There are persons, however, whose
relations with the president are
of the closest character, who be
lieve that Mr. Cleveland’s first
choice will be Sir. Olney, the sec
retary of state. It is known that he
places implicit confidence in the sound
ness of Mr. Olney’s opinions on all
important legal questions which come
before him, and that he fully appre
ciates the great assistance Mr. Olney
has rendered him in the disposition of
the great questions that have arisen
during the last two years. Whether
Mr. Olney’s residence in Massachu
setts will render him unavailable is
not known, but it is the opinion of
many well informed persons here that
but for this objection he would surely
be the man. Next to him Mr. Rufus
Peckham is thought by many to be
the most likely to receive the nomina
tion. The question of confirmation
will not be raised, it is said, a* in the
cases of Wheeler H. Peckham and
Hornblower.
TWO YEARS FOR TAYLOR.
South Dakota's Defaulting Treasurer
Makes Good His Stealings.
Pierre, S. D., Aug. 12.—The Taylor
defalcation is about to be 'cleared up,
and the defaulting treasurer will be
sentenced Tuesday. His bondsmen
and himself have turned over to the
state treasurer $100,000 in checks and
drafts as agreed upon. The value of
properties held by Taylor will not be
assessed by the state board and the
amount agreed upon by them and the
$100,oOO will be credited to his deficit.
The bondsmen will make up the bal
ance. The statute on which it was
thought Taylor would be sentenced
for twenty years is found defective
and two years will be the maximum.
FIRST WOMAN SHERIFF.

Springfield, Mo., Aug. 12.—Mrs.
HeleD C. Stewart, widow of the late

Dlinols Cora Promise* Well.
Springfield, 111., Aug. 12.—Reports
received by the state department of
agriculture confirm the reports heard
the past few weeks as to the con
dition of the growing crop, and the
prospect now is for one of the largest
and finest crops ever raised in the
state. The season has been exception
ally favorable for the growth and cul
tivation of corn.
Iowa Cora Crop In Danger.
Marshalltown, Iowa, Aug. 12.—
Unless the weather conditions change
soon the corn crop of Central Iowa
will be pretty seriously affected. A
fierce southwest wind has prevailed for
two days with the mercury at 94 in
the shade and everything is so dry
that the corn blades are wilting.
