Press Comments.

NEW YORK, March 24.-TheC1na-
mercidl Chronicle says with the ex-
ception of a very close money mar
ket and continued lack of rain in
California and a cold wave passing
over the northern half of the country
accompanied by snow III many seq
tons the developments during the
week have all been favorable to the
growth in business enterprise and
activity.
The Herald says the agricultural
situation is critical on account of
the deficiency of rainfall in Califor-
MIA. There is a possibility that
April and May rainfalls will more
than make up the deficiency of the
previous four months rs was the case
in 1880, but the present failure of the
rain supply on the middle Pacific
Coast and the recurrence of the
phenomenon apparently about once
in two or four years may well revive
the question of irrigation which was
much agitated in the early history of
California.

DAVID DAVIS COURTSHlP.
An Amusing Story Told in Wash
ingtOn at the Expense OF
President Arthur.

A good story is told about the
courtship of David Davis. The Judge
was extremely reticent about his
new matrimonial venture, and after
it was positively known that he was
engaged to Miss Burr, he lodged and
evaded every ''iteierH hat was
thrown out by his numerous friends.
In fact, the repeated Genials on the
bridegroom's part. and the air OF
mystery thrown about the affair, at
tracted more attention to the ro-
nance than would have followed a
frank avowal of the engage
ment. With all the good
humored wagging that the Judge has
suffered during the last three
months, he has one consoling episode
to remember. Last winter Miss Burr
and Miss Green, the daughter Of Rep
resentative-elect Green, OF North
Carolina, at whose residence the we'd
ding took place, visited Washington
as the guests of Mrs. Hoge, the wife
of the representative from West Nir-
ginia. Both these ladies were anxious
to visit the White House and see the
President; butthe Judge did rot wish
to escort Miss Burr. He was perfect
Jy willing to show Miss Green the
sights. and he addressed anoteto the
President, saying that he wished to
call with a lady at the Executive
Mansion. The President appointed
Il time and the visit was made.
Miss Green is a young and very
Handsome person, and the President
Immediately jumped to the conclu-
sion that she was Judge Davis in
tended bride. He showed her every
attention, escortedthe couple through
the house and the conservatory.
plucked a bunch of flowers for the
lady. and talked until the Judge be-
anne impatient to leave. When the
couple returned to the hotel the
Judge observed to Miss Burr that Miss
Green had captivated the President.
A few days later the Justices Of the
Supreme Court dined with the Pres
ident. Judge Davis was a guest.
When the cigars Were lighted the
President, with mock formality, ten
dered his congratulations to the pres
icent of the Senate. The Judgepro-
tested that there was no reason why
be should be congratulated. The
President persisted in his cOngratu-
lations, and the Justices demanded
to know the mystery. The President
told of the visit of Judge Davis and
Miss Green. The veteran jurist pooh
poohed the idea of marrying the lady
and he squirmed under the pleasant
congratulations that We're proflercd
on every side. "You may deny as
much as you please, Judge,
but you don't dare to sign a Quit
claim in my favor" banteringly re-
marked the President. The Judge
drew a piece Of paper and pencil from
his pocket and carefully drew up
and signed a REIMBURSEMENT of
all his right, title and interest in
Miss Green, provided the President
proposed TO her within one year.
This he signed and delivered to the
President in the presence of the
court. Gen. Arthur has been re-
markably reticent regarding the az
fair since the engagement of Judge
Davis to Miss Burr was announced.
