Many years ago an excellent
Quaker gentleman of, Philadelphia
took to himself wife without any
formal ceremony, both the parties
to the union believing ceremony
to be unnecessary. The Governor
of the State, who was a warm per-
sonal friend of both, begged them to
be married in due fern, to which
they objected, saying that they were
married already. But one day, the
Governor being invited with othec
friends to dine with the Quaker,
adroitly turned the conversation
upon the subject of matrimony. In
the discussion which followed he
addressed his host personally, says
ing: 'Seth, ] understand thee to
say that thou dost consider Hannah
to be thy lawful wife ?" "Yea, veri
ly do t. said he. "Thou wilt GER
tainly cherish her as thy wife SO
long as thou shalt live p Indeed
shall" replied the host, looking
proudly at Hannah. Presently the
Governor turned to the wife: "Han-
nah, said he, ''thou dost love Seth
as thy true and faithful husband ?"
"Truly / do said she. "And thou
wilt always be faithful wife to
him?' yea" said she. "Then,"
said the Governor, rising with dig
nifty, "by the authority vested in
me as Chief Magistrate of this Gem
monwoalth, | pronounce you man
and wife.

DIR. s. H. Warren Says he was
Intoxicated when he cOncOct-
ed the Cleveland Scandal.
DR.. Samuel III. Warren, who OBJ
tanned a share of the unenviable nc
toricty attaching to the other SIAN
derers who have engaged in the bu-
siness of manufacturing Cleveland
scandals, has had his conscience
quickened by exposure and fear of
punishment and makes an humble
confession. The following letter,
published in the Buffalo EUening
NelcS, explains itself:
" EDITOR of Evening News:
Il ask you to present this state
ment to the public in my behalf.
The Cleveland -Guenther matter has
been widely read and discussed and
the blame has all been put on nae.
| am willing to bear some of it, but
not all that has been given me. The
matter was all a joke at first. At
forwards, while under the influence
of liquor, in Mr.. Woolford's saloon,
l was led into a scheme which l
would not have gone into otherwise.
Woolford got the documents and
kept them and finally gave them to
the Ne'cS. The dispatches sent to
the Sun were written at his request.
He paid for them / do not defend
any fats in the case, but ask that
circumstances should be taken into
account. 1 have been subjected to
a suspicion Of serious effenses in this
matter of which / am innocent. 1
have held a good name for many
years in Buffalo, and have many
dear friends and relatives who suffer
now for my folly. 1 only ask that
/ shall not be blamed for more than
is my due. The affair has injured
no one so much as myself. Mr..
Cleveland has not suffered by it,
and i ask his friends not to be vim
dictive to their censure.

Oddities of Feminine Costumes.
We are just-now, says a New York
letter, at the beginning of seasons
novelties in womens s clothes. Fash
ionable people are nearly all back
from the country, and the bellies are
forgetting the summer wardrobes
and thinking about the autumn and
winter ones. In cross street close
TO Fifth avenues1 saw a line of car
riages extending the whole length
of the block A funeral or recep-
ton, | surmised. The garb of the
women who were getting out of and
into the vehicles was not sombre
enough for the one nor gay enough
for the other. On the door post
was small signboard of a famous
dressmaker. Said l to a caller
whom | knew: 81 think an inter-
view with the boss of this establish
ment would make interesting read
ing matter" She gazed at me with
scorn and pity, and asked if l had
ever tried to get into the presence
OF the Queen of England, a feat
which she declared would be quite
as easy as 10 gain access to the
sanctum of this eminent person.
"My dear sir, said she, 81 made an
appointment with her a week ago
for this day an hour. / could not
possibly secure any Of her time
sooner. There was vast amount
Of formality, and | was fully i'm
pressed with the difficulty and val
ue Of the boou." There are, as l
learn, two salient features in this
falls feminine adornment. The
first that women will assume q con
vict or zebra aspect by means of
striped fabrics, so made up that the
stripes will encircle the form. Who
ever has any interest in the appear
ance Of a short and fat woman,
therefore, has no reason to be over
joyed, as the sure effect will be to
make such a figure look dumpier.
The second oddity relates to q
freakish diversion on the part of
the daughters of wealth and leisure,
who are varying and belittling the
art tendency of the period by dress
ing dolls. They have waxen eff
gies Of themselves made to order,
reproducing in miniature their own
shapes as laced and girded for the
putting on of the outer robes. Even
to the features and complexions a
reduced counterpart is produced.
By means of such doll the artistic
effects of textures, colors and styles
can be tested. Sometimes this is
done by having the garment made
Of the proposed materials, but
commoner method is to paint paper
for the purpose, and put it on with
scissors and pins. To such an ex-
tent was this idea carried by Miss
Lindella Brown, whose wedding
was the chief social occurrence this
week on Murray Hill, that COM
plete scenic representation of tho
bridal party at the altar was con-
structed weeks beforehand, to be
altered and improved according to
the exacting judgment of the @s-
thetic bride. These dolls were COM
plete as to the visible parts of their
toilets down to the smallest details,
such as the bouquets in their hands
and the stockings on their feet. The
model is said to have cost $500.

Because of the Charges Made BY His
Daughter.
WASHINGTON, December Prof. Wow
loski, teacher of some notoriety in Wash
ingtcn, was recently charged by his daugh
ter with unnatural familiarity, and hear
ing Of the case developed startling condi.
ton of affairs. Heavy bail was fixed, but
the professor secured it and has since re,
NAMED at his home. This morning he com
mi;ted suicide by shooting himself with a
revolver. Professor Wowloski, at the pre-
Eminary hearing, denied having any i'm
proper relations with his daughter. tits said
he was q son of the Chief Justice of Poland.
Among the effects of the deceased are up
wards of $4,000 worth of rare paintings
and Jewels.
Another account says: Yesterday after,
noon the deceased told friend that he did
not care to live. The suicide shot himself
three times through the breast. His sui
eide was very sensational He left graph
cally written letters to the major-ofpolice
and others. He did the shooting before an
impromptu altar, which he had rugged of
with candles and other paraphernaEa. On
the altar were number of portraits upon
the backs of which he had written. One
was the portrait of Maurice SGhlosser, OF
the Congressional library. On the back OF
it were these words: a have to die for you.
Well, it must be done. Nv daughter saved
your life, but condemned me 10 death. !
left my word of honor with my daughter
| hone to be reyenged. l am now dying.

The Ash Heaps Victim Identified.

NEw YoRE. December THE skeleton
of the woman found under ashes in the
cellar of the Carleton House has been iden-
tiled by her brother, Charles Springer, as
that of Mrs. Johanna Schmit. Two years ayo
her husband had been jealous Of Ludwig
Hart, who boarded in the same house, and
threatened on one occasion to kill his wife.
Both she and Hart disappeared together,
and neither have since been seen alive,
though continuous search was kept up for
them. Both had protested theirinnocence.
Mrs. Schmidt took a considerable sum OF
money, costly clothing and bank book.
She was very pretty woman. Springer
does not believe he was implicated in h'S
yife's death, but believes she was robbed
and murdered at the Carlton House and her
body thrown into the ash shute.

A Jealous woman's Abortive Attempts to
Injure Her Husband.
BoSToN, Decc nber 4.-0n Saturday
nigh. last Mrs George Wentworth was mys
te-;ously' shot in her home in Somerville.
Her husbaed had LEFT her, as he claims, on
account of her jealous and dangerous dis
position. On Saturday she received note
apparently signed by him and sent from
Lynn, asking that she leave the door open
until midnight, as be would be home. She
did SO, and was awakened in the night by a
pistol and a bullet in her side. Occupants
Of the building did not hear the report ard
she crept up stairs to family living there
and told them she heard man retreating
at .er she was shot.
The husband was, of course suspected
He gave himself up and some Of the neigh
bors wanted him hung without trial 1t
BOW appears, however, that he was in Lynn
when the shooting took place, and there is
little doubt that the woman shot herself
Her insane jealousy, it is thought, prompted
her 20 plan thai he would be held for her
murder, if she died. The note from Lynn is
forgery. The woman is not dead yet, but
very low. Her husband was admitted to
bail today, and popular feeling is strongly
in his favor The woman had an intatua-
ton for the man, and had attempted suicide
twice in his presence with laudanum.

House. According to the statement Of Mr.
Draper last nights conference was purely
accidental, and at least dozen gentlemen
whose names appear in this morning S

present. He adds: There has been
a very general feeling in the western part
of the State that the Senatorship should be
given Mr. Warren, and there is also very
kindly feeling towards him in all parts of
the State. President Arthur, understand,
is entirely Indifferent in the mater.
To-day ex-senator Platt, Congressman
Burleigh and others of those at a confer
euce friendly to Levi P. Mortons candi-
