' Groom Wears White Yruadcloth-A ' ° Spiritualist Officiates. 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 for Alexander Frederick Johnson , that 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 iii England and has traveled over F America- lie spent nine months alone on an Arizona ranch aunt now lives in New York. That is all that is known : - . of hint here . , except that , like his bride , A.10 , iS twelve years his senior , he ms thorough ] imbued with the be- ' liefsof Christian ccience and theosophy and is a vegetarian as well.

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.

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. SENATE PROCEEDINGS.

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.

INSTRUCTIVEREADING FOR OUR JUNIOR READERS. The Volco from on High-A Fathom's Daring Feat - The Devil's Name - What Ond Boy Know-A Now Game for Little Folk. 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. 1 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. ! t A well-dres.ed French woman always includes among her gowns for every season a shepherd's plaid-black and white , or brown and white-and with such a gown these fancy cloth jackets ' look very smart.
