A Polish nIarrlage custom.

A Chicago News reporter ac-
cOmpanied by a police sergeant,
went to a Polish wedding. -Four
musicians were playing away for
dear life in o saloon, and about
fifty couples were dancing with
might and main. At last the
musicians ceased torturing their
Instruments, and the dancing
stopped. The msH shouted and
Ehooped, and the women laugh
ed shrilly, while the young girls
formed a circle around d blush
ing, black-eyed girl of eighteen,
who stood near the center of the
DOM. She wore o plain dark
dress, unadorned except by o
bunch of white artificial flowers
ON her bosom.
"It's the bride," said the scr
geant. "she was married in the
Polish church q few hours ago,
to that sheepish young fellow ov-
er there. Watch them they are
JAIN going to dance with the BRIDE"
| Suddenly the musicians struck
up again. AT the next instant
clne Of the girls dashed forward
Ii.nto the ring and seized the bride.
They dance once around the
boom together, and halted in front
Of the musicians. Then the girl
Slipped q small piece of money
|iinto the brides hand, and fell
Iloack among the crowd of older
IBeople. Another girl advanced
Ito the bride and danced around

/ dig know.
This seemed strange; she ques,
toned them closely but they had
not seen which way he went
when he passed through the
room.
"Didn't he say where he was
goingG" she asked, wonderlugly,
for Mr.. Skinner never Went out
OH Sundays without his family.
"He said he was going where
he'd have more peace" said lit
tie Harry Skinner.
"Well, we won't wait dinner
for him." said his wife, and they
sat down to eat.
Buta spell seemed to have fall
en- upon them, and when the din
ner was over and cleared away,
and they were in the sitting-room
with their books, there was a
sense Of dreary. loss, and Mrs.
Skinner sat with the Bible open
on her lap, and wondered why
he had gone out and remember
ed that he had looked queer.
1t was in consonance with her
habits of living that she got up
in the middle of these specula-
tions to catch a wondering and
belated fly and induce him to be
annihilated.
"strange" she said, as 1t grew
dark. "Tl take the children and
go down to his mothers and see
if he is there, and if he is, I'll
just give him a piece of my
mind"
BRt there, and his
mother said Lot had looked bad
Fly the last time she saw him, and
she thought he seemed worried;
hoped it wasn't business troubles.
No, it wasn't business troubles;
Mrs. Skinner knew that, and she
began to wonder if she had clean
ed her husband out Of his mind.
IIt came over her with sudden
force that she had been in the
habit Of driving him from pillow
to post at railroad speed and at
the end of a broom or dust brush.
He actually found no rest for the
sole of his foot in his own house.
It might have worked upon his
nervous system until he had be-
come suddenly insane. Horrible
thought! Ho might have COM
mitted suicide.
She hurried home with the
children. All was gloom. She
went to his bureau to look fol
his razor. 1t was the only fire
arms he possessed-it was gone
Then Mrs. Skinner broke down
aud cried, and the children cried
and it was indeed q scene of desc,
latiot, when suddenly the door Of
that horrible parlor opened, and
an apbarition-no it was Mr.
Skinner himself stood before
them looking very shoepish.

at the clock.

THE present Jeanneate investigation is
an unfortunate affair. 1t is pity that it
was undertaken. 1t can result in no good.
The fame Of no one will be frightened aud
the name Of no one can be tarnished without
hurt to others. 1t may be that errors were
committed-er ofjudgment aud errors
Of discipline. Jealousies there may have
been. 1t is generally so under like circum-
stances. One officer may have treated an
other harshly sometimes. The commander
may have been autocratic. The mon may
have sometimes chafed under it. They
were all brave men. The ones who survived
fought bravely for their rlives-the ones who
died bravely met their fate. The tragic
end of the expedition should have buried
all jealousies and all grievances within the
hearts Of the survivors, and the friends of
the dead should have allowed
them to remain buried. No great
hults were committed. Whatever
errors there were, undoubtedly were errors
ofjudgment. Danenhower, Melville, Bart
lett, Newcomb, Noros and Ninderman and
all the rest are brave and gallant men.
Equally so were De Long, Chip, Collins,
Amber and their dead companions. They
have fought their battle, and let the grave
| Of the dead be the tomb of the grievances
and dheart-burniDgs-i any there be-of the
| living.

THE real estate men of Washington are
certainly energetic, wide-awake aud enter
prising. 1t is largely due to their efforts
that the large influx of capital has been
turned our way. 1t is true they have the
advantage of magnificent and lovely loca-
tion, good climate, natural beauty, and our
position of Capital City, but they in
dustriously and intelligently improve
these advantages and bring them to the
attention of men of wealth and position. It
is fit that they should make money.
They deserve it.

THERE is movement on foot to call an
other Republican convention in this city on
the plea that the rough element controlled
the last one. 1t is at best questionable
move. Will it be any better or more sat-
isfactory than the other? If it be true that
tho rougher clement did control aud run
he last one, is it not the fault of the "bet-
ter" element themselves If they are in
numbers strong enough, why did they keep
away? Due notice was given of the time
and place, and if they were not present, was
il not their own fault?
