In Various parts of America there is evil

street (which, Notwithstanding its plebeian
name, is oue OF tho prettieet streets III the

Chicago and st. Louis, all together. Yes
Syracuse has only 10000 inhabitants and
few of them wealthy, according to the
standard OF the three more Western cities

to have young architects who have studied
their art and mystery amid the most beau
tiful houses ana villas of Europe; they
have learned that the best features Of
these can be contained for yet more beau

Virginia City Enterprise.
A gentleman who recently had occasion
to expiora tue cham bers, drifts aud caverns
of the old deserted Ophir and Mexican
mines says fungi of every imaginable kind
have taken possession of the old levels.
In these old mines, undsturbed for years,
Is found fungus world Ia which are to be
seen counterfeits of almost everything
seen In our daylight world. Owing to the
warmth OF the old levels aud to the
presence in them OF certain amount of
moisture the timbers have been made 10

fungi In the old chambers are several
feet in height, aud being snow white re-
sembied sbeeted ghosts. In places are
| what at little distance appears TO be
white owls, and there are represent
tstions OF goats with long boards, all as
white az though carved in the purest
marble. The rank fungus growth has
almost closed some Of the drifts. The
fungi are of almost every imaginable
variety of growth. Some kind hang down
from the timbers Ike great punches of
snow white hair, and others ars great
pulpy masses. These last generally rise
from the rock forming the floor of the
drifts aud saem to have grown from come
ting dropped or spilled on the ground at
the time work was in progress in these
mines years ago These growths have in
several places raised from the ground rocks
weighing from 10 10 so and

rocks have thus been lifted over
three feet from the ground In the

lively dry, the fungi are less massive in
structure than below, and are hrmer in

they grow in spiral or twisted shape,

die, hang from the cap timbers like so
many suakes suspended by the tails. One
| kind, after sending out a stem of the
thickness of pencil to the length of a

produces at the end a dubious mass that
has some resemblage to flower. In all
the infiuite variety of these underground
fungi il is somewhat strange that not one

light of day. Nothing in the nature of
toadstools or mushrooms was found.

Several of yesterdays papers contained
the announcement Of the marriage of John
7. Raymond, now playing the title role OF
Fresh at the Park Theatre, 10 Miss
Courtney Barnes, the daughter Of Rose
Eytinge. Mr.. Raymond laughed heartily
when asked II he was married and said .

Whenever there is a dearth of Sunday
news defy competition. Formerly ii us,

that several days before had seen u.
married in a palace Car at the rate of Gu
miles an hour; or again. that gorgeous
ceremony had been celebrated in a ST
Louis cathedral, sometimes varied by the
cool assertion that we had been married
for months. This, as say, was rather
narrowing to my feelings at FIRST but
became used to it after a while, and now
when l venture forth, and some friend
rushes up, seizes both my hands, and says,
Lear boy, accept my heartlest congratu-
lations. She's noble woman and will
make good wife, simply say, God
bless you, but it's false and pass on,
mentally thanking the vigilant gentlemen
down town who wear all the hair off their
heads in their whole-souled efforts for my
future well being"
"There Is no truth in the statement,
then 2"
"Well," said Mr.. Raymond, throwing
one leg over the other, and carelessly
brushing back lock of hair with a hand
on which huge diamond glittered
brilliantly, "The-ah-the fact is we are
little inclined that way, SO to speak.
The-well, will admit that it's going to
occur. I'll tell you what" with sudden
burst of animation, "Id be UNNECESSARILY
Obliged II you'll just say that Miss
Courtney Barnes and 1 are going to be
married next April. That is the date

aIen, Women and Suicide.

The Contemporary Review.
Men are everywhere becoming more
weary of the burden of life. Authorities
on sanitation and vital statistics tell us
that of late years life, the average human
life, has been considerably prolonged by
greater attention to the means OF
preserving health yet, concurrant with
this Improvement, there are greater
impatience of life itself and a greater
desire to escape its burden. Women are less
prone to commit suicide in Europe than
men, and extensive investigation on this
subject has convinced Signor Morselli that
the tendency to suicide increases with age
more strongly among the unmarried and
widowed than among the married of both
sexes. The following table curiously
illustrates this fact: Among million Of
persons of each class in Europe generally.
In so far as the returns enabled him to
compare them, the following numbers
committed suicide

The Rugby Experiment.

NeW 1Ork herhlo-
The report which has been floating
through the Western papers for some
weeks past, that Mr.. Thomas Hughes
Rugby colony was a failure and would
have to be abandoned, is, we are glad to
see, emphstically contrsdicted by Mr.. W.
Hastings Hughes. In card Just pub
lished he says there is not particle of
truth In the story--on the contrary, that
the colony ia prosperous; that while its
members have suffered from the severity
Of the present exceptional winter, the
worst Is now over. The settlers are hard
at work preparing for their spring crops /;
the church and school are nearly finished,
and new saw mill has just got into work
ing order. All this is gratifying news.
The Rugby experiment was begun under
such favorable conditions and under such
distinguished auspices; it has attracted go
much attention In Europe as well as in
this country, that it's failure would be
almost calamity. 1t certainly would be
q severe blow to similar projects and dis
sppoint the hopes of the thousands in the
old world who are anxiously seeking some
way out of the hopeless condition in which
they find themselves.

Rather significant action was taken in
the Tennessee House of Representatives
Wednesday on resolution to appoint a
joint committee to entertain any PROPOSE
ton that the holders OF Tennessee bonds
may desire to make 10 the Legislature.
A motion to table the resolution was lost
by vote of AZ to 81. An amendment
providing that the committees inquiry
shall only extend to what is known as the
State debt proper, So, 800, 900, as claimed
by Warren, the greenbscker, and Sand,
the low-tax Democratic member, was
tabled by vote of 40 to 10. The resolu-
ton was finally adopted by vote OF 4s to
10. A Nashville dispatch says: "should
the representatives of the bondholders act
wisely and not place their figures too
high, it seems evident that the State debt
can be settled by the present Legislature. "

House was held last evening to consider
the Apportionment question. About 60
members were present, and in the course
of debate it appeared that the majority
favored 3l9 as the most equitable number
of Representatives in Congress that could
be selected. Several New England mem
bers, however, thought 3O7 sufficient,
while one of the Western members de-
manded 1922 1t was fually decided to
postpone the question until Monday, and
in the meantime try and induce Mr.. Cox
not to press his Apportionment bill to a
vote before next week.
