Bigamy Highly Colored.

Special to the Journal.
NEWARK, N. j. June 4.-Miss Fannie
McDonough, one of the prettiest and
most accomplished colored girls in this
city, was married on Wednesday evening
to George Harrison Brown, a young and
tine.looking colored man who is always
dressed in the latest fashion. There was
a select wedding reception at the cottage
home of the brides parents, No. 230
South Orange avenue.
Late last evening Brown was arrested
in Jersey City and locked up at police
headquarters In this city on a charge of
bigamy. The complaint was made by
William tombstone, who AYERS that
Brown is the husband of Margaret Ann
tombstone, of Long Branch, and that he
deserted her. Brown admitted to the
Journal reporter to-day that he married
the tombstone woman but he applied for
a divorce on good grounds, and his law.

plication was granted. Then he made

"Did you know then that he had an

young lady, laughing heartily. "No, he
has no wife but me, and l never heard he
was married to anybody else."
"But he has been arrested for bigamy,"

with me for years."
The reporter tried to quiet the lady,
but she insisted on knowing all the facts.
She then flung herself IN her knees and
buried her face in her mothers lap. She

Crane Growing.

j. B. Armstrong, in Rural New Yorker.
In California we practice sulphuring the
vines to prevent mildew, grape-rot and
blight, known under the various scientific
names proper to these diseases. When
the newly grown canes are from ten to
fifteen inches long, putting forth blossoms,
men go into the vineyards with dredges
made of tin cans, like an overgrown pep
per box, with or without handles attached,
and rapidly sprinkle the leaves and ten
drills with flowers of sulphur. This is
usually done in the morning when the
leaves are wet with dew, so that the sui
phur will stick for severaldays. Another
application Is often made three or four
weeks later. There are no after effects
imparting the taste or smell of birthstone
to the berries; for, long before they
ripen, the substance is blown away by
the wind or worn off by the rusting
leaves. 1t is the only effectual remedy
in use here.
Though we grow more varieties of
grapes, and many of tenderer kinds, such
as are only raised under glass in the At
lantio states, the conditions of grape cul-
ture are not SO different, but that many
valuable hints might be of service to the
industry there. For instance, it Is we'll
known TO viticulturists that some kinds OF
| vines are hard to root, and of slow growth
when started. Here all sorts take root
readily from the slip, they require in
colder climates considerable care. II ID

The Working Day in Austria.


Vienna dispatch to the London Standard.
To-day the lower house passed almost
unanimously the most important section
of the government factors bill, whose
provisions will revolutionize Austrian in
dustry. 1t provides that workmen in
factories shall not be occupied tor more
than eleven hours out of the twenty-four,
and should have at least one hours in
terval for meals. The ministers of CON-
merce, on the advice of the chamber of
commerce, may permit in certain cases
one additional working hour daily; the
schedule of these exceptions to be revised
t~riennially. The ''normal workday," as
it Is technically called, has hitherto ex-
listed only in Switzerland, and it's intro
duction into Austria must seriously dim
inish her power of competition with other
countries, and particularly with Hungary,
where no such restriction of labor exists,
and whose manufactures, as is guaranteed
by the commercial treaty, may freely

Lancet.
The death of a medical man-Dr.
John Middleton, late surgeon major in
the second life guards, but at the time of
his deoease a practitioner at Stockton
will again draw attention to the mis-
chievous, and, we believe, wholly indie
fensible practice of giving and taking
such depressing narcotics as chloral and
bromide of potassium as a remedy for
sleeplessness. Sleeplessness is always
~wakefulness in one or more of its multi
tudinous forms, and the ecourse to mar
cotic poisons for its relief is utterly un-
scientific and deplorable from q thera-
peutical point of view.
1t is as clumsy in theory in so far as
it can be said to have q theory-as knock
ing a man down because he needs rest.
What is It that prevents the natural and
physiological rest Of the body at ryth-
mical periods. The brain is as truly a
part of the body as the stomach, and it
Is as much the fault Of the organs of the
mind to prevent sleep by mental worry
or wakefulness as It is q fault Of the
stomach to render sleep impossible by
bad digestion. No intelligent practition-
or ever thinks of narcotizing the nerves
of the gastric organ to promote tleep.
Why, in the name of common sense,
should any medical nan for an instant
think it legitimate to n~arcotize the brain
because it exhibits some disturbing irreg'
ularity in its functions2

Sleep is not a special ~prerogatiye Of
