Theodore and Elizabeth Have kiss.
Cd and Made Up.
New York Sun, IL

To the rumOrs of Theodore Tiltons re-
consultation with his wife there were added
yesterday some assertions so positively
made, and 80 circumstantial, that they were
generally believed in Brooklyn. 1t was
reported that an agreement to live as man
and wife again was made by Mr.. Tilton
and his wife few days ago, and that this
arrangement will be carried out soon, il it
has not already been done. According to
the story, the intention is to leave early in
the summer for Europe, but before that to
spend some time in retirement. 1t is be-
lieved that Mrs. Tilton has already gone to
Warwick, in Orange county, and that Mr..
TiltOn will join her there. There is no
doubt, 70 those who have opportunity for
knowing say, that Mr.. Tilton and his wife
have met frequently within the past two
months. These meetings have been private,
and it is quite possible that Mrs. Tilton's
friends do not know of them. Since Mrs.
TiltOn's illness Mr.. Tilton has Indirectly at
least supplied her with money. Many be-
lieve be has induced his wife to go to War
wick that they may more conveniently ar
range for their future, There is no doubt
that Mrs. Tilton is out OF town. Mrs. Morse,
her mother, on being questioned by re-
porter, was wholly non-committal: She
vonld neither admit nor deny that Mrs.
Tlton had gone to Warwick with Mr.. Til
ton.

FRENCH luREwaa.Ury

The French Legislature Is behaving lib
orally, with regard to the Paris Exhibition
which will be opened, as the London Crys-
tai Palace i 1851 was, on the first of May.
1t has voted 100000 to Marshal McMa-
hon, President Of the Republic; $4,000 to
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and like
sum to the Minister of Public
Works. and $4,000 to each
of the other seven Ministers. These
extra allowances are to cover the addition
al cost of receptions, entertainments, and
other hcspitalities- indispensable during
that gala period and occasion. Moreover,
there will be 10 per cent. increase OF wages,
during he Exhibition, to the workmen in
AL the public establishments. Such liber-
a6ty, though simply an act of justice, is
highly creditable TO the legislature.

The DishOnesty and Extras agance
Of Ealse Economy.
TNew York Times

II the machinery Of the Post Office 70
transmitting money-Orders and registered
letters should suddenly stop, the people
may understand that the Democratic House
has failed to provide the money needed for
that service. Last year there was danger
that this useful branch of the postal service
must cease operations on account of the lack
of printed blanks. That difficulty was tenn
porarily tided over; but the same obstruc-
ton is again met. The House Appropria-
tions Committee have deliberately cut down
the estimates of the Post Office Department
and the money tor printing the required
blanks is nearly exhausted. Meanwhile,a bill
containing an appropriation of S35 700
for this purpose is pending between the twor
branches of Congress, and the Democratic
managers of the House manifest the utmost
Indifference to the condition of affairs
The fraudulent practice of refusing appro-
priations for the maintenance of the legiti-
mate service Of the Government is produ-
cling exasperating results. The House APP
preparation Committee are pointing with
pride TO the fact that they have cut down
the Postmaster Generals estimates 1921
93S; but the country must needs suffer in
convenience from this dishonett course. 1t
is not even poor economy; il is an attempt
to make political capital by refusing to pay
expenses which aye necessary and which
must he paid at some future time.

Wise REGULATIONS.

The regulations of Stewards hotel for wo-
men in New York city are so very rigid and
complete that it has sometimes been won
dered if an occupant of room could wink
without securing the necessary consent OF
the clerk. Paek regards them with quizz
cal skepticism, and begs leave to amend and
substitute. Among the amendments and
substitutions We quote the following:

the rooms on each floor are equally desirable,
especially the lower ones, for which g a day

CHEAP GAS.

We have already given the details of the
successful making of gas from water, and
the practical application thereof to public
asd private buildings. Now We learn by .
dispatch from Washington that a propo-
sition has been made to the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds to
supply gas at twenty-five cents thousand
feet, and Tor heating purposes also for q
like sum. 1t lie by the atomic steam-ooal
process. The cost now of lighting the pub
lie buildings and Capitol grounds is about
1000 year. Mr.. Crutchett, by his pro-
cess, offers to do the same for $4,000. A
substantial solution of the cheap gas
problem seems to be simply question OF
