MRS. RICHARD B. CONNOLLY.

Mrs. Richard b. Connolly, the wife Of ex-
Controller Connolly died switzerland on Thursday.
Some members her family were with her at her
death For u long time Mrs. Connolly has suffered
from general debility. During the last seven or
eight years 1t has been her custom TO make

OF her health. Last Summer she went abroad
but remained during most Of her visit IN Switzerland
While there she afflicted with her old aiment, and
was under the treatment OF skilled physicians. At
times she seemed to rally but her advanced years and
small and slendar frame offered no encourage
ment for ultimate recovery. Her physicians,
while holding out no hope thought Mrs Con
molly might live six months longer. Her
death therefore, although sudden. was no surprise 10
her friends The remains Will be brought to this city In
three or four weeks and funeral services will be held at
Dr. Chapn's Church. she will be placed in the family
vault in the Marble Cemetery, in secondst between

The Course Of True Love Never Did Run
Smooth
Detroit Free Press. ]

detroit Free Press.l
Many singular scenes are enacted in this
city by silly young men who imagine that
they are in love with some pretty girl, to
whom they have never had an Introduction;
but the palm for impudence and poor judg-
ment must be awarded to a young man who
rode down town on a Baker street car yester-
day afternoon. For several months the
young man, who goes to and from his meals
about the same hours with young lady who
lives in the western part of the city and is
employed in leading jewelry store, has
stared at her, smiled at her, and in every way
possible endeavered to attract her attention
BY some means he learned her name, and yes
terday when she entered the car he bowed
to her as soon as she was seated, took seat
beside her, saying: "Miss Blank, think we
have seen enough of each other to be better
acquainted"
Surprised at his assurance, but with ready
wit, the young lady replied sharply: Scr
tainly have seen enough b of YOU
Not at all abashed by the retort or the pres
ence of half dozen other passengers, he
continued: "But, my dear Miss Blank, the
admiration of gentleman"
She interrupted him with: "Show that you
are gentleman by not troubling me any fur
ther," and changed her seat in the car. The
discomfitted ninny kept his position in silence
for time, but at last the broadly smiling
faces of the other passengers proved too much
for his nerves and he hastily made his exit
from the car.

Statistics.

The records of marriage offer some curious
columns. Statistics are continually forcing
upon our notice fixed percentage of repent
ant old bachelors; also of young bachelors
that marry widows; also of young women
that marry old men, and of widows that re-
new their VOWS while the ratio of second,
third and fourth marriages is very constant.
Indeed, it has most profanely come to pass
that, just as the stars are nothing but points
of vast triangles and diagrams to cold-blood-
ed astronomer, so every unmarried woman
stands as an algebraic symbol to the eye of
the social mathematician; if she is twenty
years old, representing three-quarters of a
likelihood that she will change her name :;
if twenty-f standing for one quarter of the
same possibility if thirty, reduced to frac-
tion of one divided by ten; and then decreas-
ing in geometrical ratio which it would
hardly be polite to put into figures here.
On the contrary, a man of twenty-five rep
resents the fraction one-half as to the pro-
liabilities of marriage. which is so vulgar q
traction that most young men of that period
strive ardently to annihilate it by finding the
other and better half which restores their
integrity, substance and show.

The Coming Woman.
From the Cincinnati Commercial. !

ILL.,
One of the flourishing Fifth street shoe
stores is managed entirely by two young
ladies. Miss Riley and Miss Linehart. Every
part of the business is attended to by them.
They keep the books, attend to the stock, and
open the store in the morning and close it at
night. When boxes of goods arrive they
open them with hand and hatchet quite as
we'll as a young man could do. They give
orders for new goods. About the only duty
the owner of the store has is the not unpleas-
ant one of coming in occasionally to relieve
the cash box Not shoe store in the city
is better kept than this one, which two girls
carry on. They are refined ana gentle in
their manners, and so prompt and polite in
business that they are said to be building up
an enviable trade. One is of Jewish, the
other of Irish, descent. They have been init
mate friends for five years, having been fel-
low-clerks for that length of time. Both are
the daughters of widowed mothers, and aid
largely in supporting their families. These
excellent girls are only another instance to
show that when woman works for her liv-
ing there is always very good reason for it.
1t is not too much to say that three -fourths
of the women who earn money have
others than themselves to support
Of tripple-plated meanness, therefore,
is the spirit which seeks to restrict women's
labor in any way whatever, or which grudges
her equal pay with man for equal work.

George II. Butler, when very drunk, ap-
piled to the genial John Chamberlain for a
small loan. This, of course, John refused.
"John, said George, solemnly, II shall,
like the Government, be driven to a forced
loan" and slipping small mantel clock in
the pocket of his ulster, he added, ''Time's
money, John; times money"
Again, when his uncle, the eminent Massa.
chusetts statesman, was lecturing him on his
evil conduct and, to enforce his precepts,
said that celebrated physician had Informed
him that he, George, was threatened with a
softening of the brain, and added, 'What
would you do, nephew, if that calamity were
to come to you?"
George looked up with drunken gravity,
and replied: ''Do? do? Why, damn it, un-
Gle, I'd be qualified to write leading editorials
for the New York Herald"
The uncle found more forlorn hope be-
fore him than the Governorship of Massa-

Roman grandeur of that dirty locality.

Cheap ElOcu tiOn.

Yesterday forenoon, while Detroi: JUS

woman opened the door at that moment,
and the stranger put down the book on the
desk, clasped her hand and said:
''Begin at the pencil-mark there, and read
slowly"
His Honor's chin dropped exactly eighteen
inches by dry measure as he saw that the
reading matter was the usual form of mar
riage, but he didn't back down from his
word. 1t was the cheapest marriage he ever
attended, and he didn't half enjoy the chuck
les of bride and groom as they went out.

Reporting by Machinery.

A reporting machine at the Paris Exposi-
tion, known as 'La Machine Stenograph-
ique Michela," the latter being the name of
its inventor, attracted much attention. The
claims made respecting it are that after
fortnight's practice, any person can take
down in shorthand characters speech how
ever rapidly delivered. It is small instru-
ment, piano-like in form, with twenty-five
keys, white and black, and the stenographic
characters are small and impressed on slips
of paper. Signor Michela claims to have
classified all the sounds which the human Or
gans of speech are capable of producing,
and to have 80 constructed his machine that
it shall report with unerring fidelity whatever
is said in German, French, Italian, Spanish
and English. The machine is highly ingen-
ious, and seems to have stood several practi-
cal tests satisfactorily.
