American woman to the Stars. Thu third
morning after marriage she said to Mr..
Farwell:
''Charies, I know your goodness of heart.
I know you have exalted sentiments about
religion It will be pleasure, therefore,
for you to help me place over the doorway
the beautiful motto, ''God bless our home"
There was headache on Charley's brain
and dyspepsia on his stomach, and while
amicably consenting to the pious motto
sugge sted by his wife, he proposed the
hanging of another pasteboard with this
inscription, God help our cook"
THE ssLIn7" BUSINESS.
Madame Labouchere is still stopping at
the Arlington, and seemingly has an attor-
ney travelling with her to enioin and rebut
things that ought to be enjoined and re-
butted. It is announced that the
m idame is travelling "under the
protection of :. one e. P. Fow-
Ter. Fowler is an attorney of New York,
whose enthusiast and impulse are things
to be INDUCED, because they must be. He
holds himself responsible for denouncing
as lie the statement that Mrs. Laboach-
ere had not been married to the man whose
name she bears, but is his mistress. No
doubt Mr.. Fowler is right, because the
madame brought letters from the prince
of Wales aud many dignitaries bearing
testimony to her niceness. AS to the al
legged difficulty between Labouchere and
Langtry, Mr.. Fowler says that there
is no rupture of their amicahle
relations. There was certain gentleman
in Nav York, understood to be Mr.. Geb-
hardt. q stock broker, whose attentions to
Mrs. Lapgtry made the loudest kind CT
gether after the performance each night
and managed to find place where they
could discuss The episode Of the garden of
Eden without attracting the attention of
tide vulgar. Certain it Is that Mrs.
Aabouchere and Mrs. Langtry have ceased
to look al the propyieties through
the same glasses. The former goes off to
Boston followed by her lover, a
foolish Jew with German
name. and the latter comes to
Washington in company with lawyer
who rushes into print as her re-
sponsible spokesman and defender. There
is a vast amount Of righteousness in the
world.
Is additional proof Of this assertion the
story comes from New York that Chris
tine Nilsson has ceased to speak to Patti
because the latlar Was assigned at the
Winaser hotel Oh lover and better floor
chan that occupied by the Swedish diva.
STAR ROUTE TRIAL.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 8.-In the star route
trial this morning, the defense said they
had no motion to make il respect to the
array, and were willing to go on with the
argument as to the number of peiemptory
challenges to which the defense is entitled.
Discussion ensued as to the time of the
argument, and of its discussion, Judge
Wyle intimating that his mind was made up
on point, that he desired no enlightment
from re-argument, but would not announce
a decision until The question properly
arose. The counsel for the defense insisted
that it would be unfair to require them to
proceed il the dark on question of such
vital Importance. One statute gave de-
PENDANT four challenges and one to the
government; another gave three to the
government anu three to defendant. Then
the question arose whether the several de-
PENDANTS should be regarded as
one party. Il was a complicated state of
affairs. Now, asked the judge, how many
challenges are they entitled to? He de-
cidod it last year, and until that decision
is Overruled It stood as law, and counsel
for defense were bound to swear it was law.
After using an hour in a preliminary colo
guy, and the judge refusing TO modify his
! resolution to withhold the announcement
of his decision until the time for the exer-
| else Of the right Of peremptory challenge,
Mr.. Dayidge submitted formal motion
on tho subject. The motion was overruled
and the court decided to bear argument on
the question, reserying the right to decide
the question at the proper lime. Direct
/ argument OF the question was then opened
! by Merrick for the prosecution.
