were of special interest. One was worn by
Mrs. Harvey Watterson (Mrs. Matthews's
sister, the same in which she was attired
when she and her husband celebrated their
golden wedding last June. 1t is pale gray
silk, relieved about the neck with fine point
lace. On her gray hair was a couture of the
same ace The other was worn by Mrs.
Lanier Dunn, recently Miss Hattie Heard,
which was rich white Ottoman silk with
very long train, the whole dress covered with
the finest point Duchesse lace of an unusual
pattern. Her ornaments were diamonds. set
in rare designs, and a pearl necklace, all

Pension Frauds aud Colonel Dudley.

Lafayette Sunday Times (Dem.).
People who talk about pension frauds
should not couple Commissioner Dudley with
them. The Times believes that Colonel Dud-
ley makes an efficient commissioner of PEN

vent frauds on the pension list. The list OF
pensioners should be published in each Con.
gressional district as one of the best means
to put stop to the frauds.

THE remarkable success of Miss Livingstone
in securing 10000 verdict from Brooklyn
jury in her breach-of-promise case, has already
melted other girls of that city having recreart
lovers to seek wealthin the same direction One
OF them, young Jewess, sues her beloved, who
is of the Christian faith, for $4,000, which is
just half of legacy he has lately received from
a deceased uncle. The young man says that he
is ready to marry the girl, but during his court
ship, which was before he had any money. her
family and relatives cursed, upbralded and spat
upon him at every opportunity because he re-
fused to become Jew. He is willing to take his
sweetheart for better or worse, provided the
worse is not to include the maedictions and ex-
pectOrations of his wife's friends The questions
of law involved are peculiar, and the case is said
to have no parallel in this country. Another
Brooklyn girl sues for $4,000, but the
nature of the defense goes to show that she

he is not only willing but anxious to marry, but
that the young woman who complains of his de-

toned to a style sf living which he cannot main
tain on his present salary of $40 month. On
her account only has he refrained from entering
